Brining Made Simple: How To Prepare a Mouthwatering Turkey Your Family Will Love [VIDEO]Helen Cavallo
Want a golden, delicious, juicy bird served on your table at Thanksgiving? A bird so juicy your mother-in-law will even give her nod of approval? OK, this is it. This recipe is so simple it's really hard to mess it up. The accolades, the cheers, grown men and women openly weeping and squealing with joy, will be almost too much to take this Thanksgiving — your turkey will be a show-stopper.
The trick is to start the day before you're going to serve. NOW. Rule of thumb – brine approximately 1 hour per pound, so chances are the turkey will brine overnight. And here's another time saving and space saving tip. If you don't have room in the fridge for that 20 lb. bird, no worries, just bust out that cooler. Line the cooler with an unscented garbage bag and prepare your brine and place the turkey inside it. This saves you the time and hassle of trying to find a space for your turkey and having to move things around inside the fridge. A cooler keeps your turkey nice and cool for this occasion. Just add ice and check it periodically, ensuring the turkey stays cold. Honestly guys, I've made this countless times and it's easy and delicious. You and your guests will be rewarded with a moist, delicious, succulent bird.
Your guests will clean their plates and will be coming back for seconds and thirds.True story.
Here's one more tiny tip that I know you already know… The holidays can be stressful. Hosting and cooking can can add to that. Things aren't perfect sometimes and that's OK. Deep breath, big smiles and take a moment to ENJOY! That's it!
From my kitchen to yours… Happy Thanksgiving. Now let's sit down and EAT! xo

Amazon Prime Music sees huge content boost
Amazon Prime Music is undoubtedly one of the company's more lackluster services to be offered under the Prime umbrella. With free two day shipping and Prime Instant Video already more than pulling their weight, Prime Music is little more than an added bonus — nothing worth paying some $100 a year for on its own. ...

Bobby Labonte will miss the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway Sunday with no idea when he will get behind the wheel of a Sprint Cup car again.
Mark Martin sounds determined to make the race Sunday his last in a major NASCAR series. Ken Schrader reportedly is going to compete in his final Cup event.
Jeff Burton is ending his status as a full-time Cup driver, too.
MORE: Martin retiring? | Burton future | Johnson gains edge with training | Johnson deserves fan support
In a sport where drivers often compete well into their 40s and 50s — most respectably enough that teams prefer to go with experience rather than the unknown — the Ford EcoBoost 400 will signify an end of an era of sorts.
The drivers approach the end in different ways.
"You don't want to just say, 'If that's it, it's OK,'" Labonte said last week at Phoenix. "It's not OK. But, you know, it's also reality, too. You don't know. I don't have a crystal ball and I can't tell.
"If it was (my last race), you'd be disappointed for a while."
PHOTOS: NASCAR's most respected drivers | Most beloved
For Martin, he seems ready to move on.
"Father Time does take its toll on every single sense that you have," Martin said. "Your hand-eye coordination, everything is affected as you get older. At some point in time, that decline becomes a detriment to you.
"You can work as hard as you want and you can maybe run good, but you're fighting Father Time, and that's different for anyone."
The 54-year-old Martin has 40 Cup wins in 881 starts. The 58-year-old Schrader has four Cup wins in 782 starts and is still active racing short tracks.
The 49-year-old Labonte has 21 career wins in 718 starts. The 46-year-old Burton has 21 career Cup wins in 690 starts.
Of the group, only Burton has run the entire season and he is being squeezed out at Richard Childress Racing with one year left on his contract. He is 19th in the standings with six top-10s but a 184-race winless streak. He plans to run a partial schedule next season but has not announced the team.
"What happens is the older you get the more other things matter," Burton said. "Racing still means a lot to me, but for me to sit here today and say it means the same thing to me that it meant when I didn't have a daughter getting ready to go to college, a son that is racing, those things they do play a role.
"The schedule is harder today than it's ever been. … You are gone more today. It boils down to desire. If you have talent, I don't think talent goes away. Certainly eyesight changes, those kinds of things change, but we can fix that. But talent doesn't change; it's more the passion that you are willing to bring to it."
Martin has competed in 27 of the 35 races this year with one top-five and five top-10s. His average finish is 20.1. It appears some of his passion has been sapped by his lack of performance.
"I can still drive a racecar pretty fast, but I'm not the driver I was at my peak," Martin said. "I know it. … I'm not saying I can't run good, but I know that I can feel it in everything I do, every time I get up and walk across the room, I can tell that I'm not 35.
"And anybody that says they can't, I don't know. I'd like to be sipping off some of their juice — you know what I'm saying? Because I can tell."
Labonte is not ready to give up but is looking for a 2014 ride as he is being replaced by AJ Allmendinger at JTG Daugherty Racing. He has a best finish of 15th this year in 28 starts.
"We're not 35 trying to do it or 25 trying to do it either," Labonte said. "It's just kind of the way it is. I'll never forget that Ernie Irvan said he hated me one time because he always thought I would take his ride.
"You just go out there and do the best you can."
Labonte, the 2000 Cup champion, said he's considering any of the three national series. He admitted he wouldn't have thought about racing a truck three or four years ago but now 22 races a year sounds really nice.
"There's possibilities, but it's going to be wait a little bit and see what happens," Labonte said last week at Phoenix. "It's not going to happen this week or next week. It's going to play itself out. It might not be anything."
The drivers will have memories of their accomplishments. For Martin, he will remember his wins and a hall-of-fame career despite not winning the Cup championship or the Daytona 500.
"I've lived the dream," Martin said. "And at one time, I ran pretty good, and that's beyond a dream for just a little kid from Arkansas that went to Daytona and was awestruck.
"I never dreamed I'd have the opportunity to come within three feet of winning that (Daytona 500) race or a chance to race with Richard Petty and David Pearson and Cale Yarborough and Benny Parsons and all those greats — Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip – and collect a little bit of hardware along the way and a lot of friends, which is even more important than the hardware."
Martin summed up his feelings with a tweet last week — a video of the George Jones song, "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" — that showed that he is ready for an active life, which will include driving racecars but just not taking the green flag for a Cup race.
"Dang, that fits this week perfect," Martin said, "because I'm not going to be using a rocking chair."

HTC announces flagship Windows Phone 8X and 8S phones
HTC has just announced two new Windows Phone 8 handsets at an event in NYC. The company has worked closely with Microsoft to produce the Windows Phone 8X and 8S, a product line that aims to become the standard bearer for Redmond's latest mobile OS.
The handsets follow the same naming convention as the company's flagship Android devices: the One X and One S. Accordingly, the Windows Phone 8X is the larger, more powerful of the two, with the 8S touting a smaller footprint and a rather aesthetically pleasing two-tone finish.
Design and specs
A lot of work has gone into the design of the devices – they're looking thin, sleek, and even a little futuristic. The back of the polycarbonate uni-body handsets are curved (similar to the Lumia 920) while exhibiting the same HTC and Beats Audio branding seen on the One line. There's no camera bump here though, and the front of the 8X could be mistaken for one of the Lumia devices, while the 8S has a more distinctive colored panel at the base.
The 8X touts some impressive specs, including a 4.3-inch 1280 x 720 Super LCD 2 display and a 1.5 GHz dual-core S4 processor. In addition to this, users will get 16 GB storage, 1 GB RAM, an 1,800 mAh battery, as well as LTE and NFC functionality. Some significant work has been done on the cameras, with both the rear and front-facing offerings (8- and 2.1-megapixel respectively) providing 1080p video and f/2.0 lenses, ensuring passable low-light performance.
HTC has also improved the audio on the device. Not only does it have the Beats Audio support seen in the One line (a first for Windows Phone), but it also features an integrated amplifier that should translate to significantly improved audio quality through the speakers. This is of particular interest, as it's not an area that other manufacturers are focusing on.
Spec wise, the 8S is a little underwhelming when compared to its flagship counterpart. It offers a 4-inch Gorilla Glass WVGA LCD display, a 1GHz Snapdragon S4 processor, 4 GB internal storage (upgradable up to 32 GB) and a 5-megapixel shooter on the back. However, the handset is likely to be priced significantly lower than the 8X, and personally, we're loving the two-tone color scheme.
Any comparison with the rest of the market is certain to focus on Apple's iPhone 5, announced last week. Putting the operating systems aside, the two phones are fairly evenly matched on the spec sheet. The iPhone 5 has a significant advantage in the processor department, featuring a quad-core A6 CPU, while the 8X has the edge when it comes to display resolution (an impressive 341 ppi to Apple's 326 ppi Retina display offering)
There's also Nokia's Lumia 920 to consider. The recently announced handset has some impressive features including wireless charging, Nokia PureView camera technology, and features a similarly impressive 332 ppi display. However, the new HTC offerings are set to become the standard bearers for Windows Phone 8, a notion that is reinforced by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's appearance at the launch event. This is likely to position HTC's devices as the go-to choice for those looking to pick up a handset running Redmond's mobile OS.
Both the Windows Phone 8X and 8S by HTC are scheduled for a November release and while there's no word yet on cost, we're expecting it to be priced to match the company's One line (around US$450 at the time of writing).

Fans of the Great British Bake Off erupted with outrage last night, following the shock exit of hairy hipster heartthrob Iain Watters.
The bearded builder saw red after the ice cream he had prepared for his Baked Alaska, his entry into the episode's crucial Showstopper Challenge, was removed from the freezer by rival baker Diana Beard.
In a fit of fury, Iain decanted his largely liquid ice cream into one of the tent's pedal bins, before storming out of the garden kitchen in despair. He was put in last place by judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry as he had nothing for them to judge, and was sent home.
Since then, Iain's many fans have rallied around to protest the unfairness of his unfortunate departure. A number of hashtags - including #JusticeForIain - have sprung up on Twitter, and the BBC are expected to make a statement shortly.
Stay with us, we'll bring you the very latest as this dramatic story develops.
After making his exit from last night's gripping episode of the Great British Bake Off, Iain said: "My worst moment has to be 'bin-cident'. I didn't handle the pressure in the tent as well as everyone else. It was a very hot day with everyone fighting for space in the freezers, and I didn't feel that I coped with the situation very well.
"I am passionate as a personality and a baker, so I do tend to get frustrated when the bakes don't go well, and I will have to learn to deal with that."
This morning, Diana said she felt the "knives were out" for her on last night's show, saying she'd been made out to be a "bad cook" by BBC producers.
"I am very disappointed, I feel like it was a stitch-up on my part," she said.
"We are 12 amateur bakers, there's no prize money, we're not out for any money, why would I sabotage someone's ice cream?
"Iain doesn't hold anything against me, in fact he called me about three days ago to tell me that the knives were out. This has made it look like a cut-throat competition."
If you missed the shocking events that took place in the Tent last night, don't worry. You can watch the whole sorry affair right here.
So, having witnessed all the drama, who are you backing? Do you think Diana Beard was innocent, or do you think Iain with a beard got done?
Have your say.
Mary Berry has waded into the #Bingate row, saying the controversy is "absolute rubbish."
Speaking on Chris Evans' Radio 2 programme this morning Berry, told listeners his exit was 'so unfortunate'.
She said: "It was so unfortunate because Iain is, without doubt, a brilliant baker and we'll see a great future for him."
Mary explained: "It was very tense on the day, because imagine the sun was shining, it was a really warm day and that was the day they were making ice creams."
Presenter Sue Perkins took to Twitter last night to give her take on the Bingate row.
Iain's Alaska was out of the freezer for 40 secs. That's it. No sabotage. 40 secs of normal temp would NOT be enough to reduce it to liquid— Sue Perkins (@sueperkins) August 27, 2014
She went on to suggest the furore surrounding the bincident might be a little over the top.
All getting a little inflamed for my liking. Am off. This is a show about CAKES. Please, let's save the ire for real stuff. Peace & out x— Sue Perkins (@sueperkins) August 27, 2014
Here's some more from Diana, who was speaking on BBC Radio Shropshire this morning.
"We were 12 amateur bakers. No prize money involved. Why would I want to sabotage Iain's baked Alaska? I was very pleased to get through the first week, everything else was a bonus. Iain does not hold me responsible for his failed ice cream.
"In fact, he rang me 3 days ago to warn me that the knives were out. We were all in it for the fun. Sharing our skills for the fun of baking. This has made it look like some cut-throat competition. So far from the truth."
Iain also took to Twitter this morning to tell the world he had nothing against Diana.
He's a gentle sort, isn't he?
Guys no hard feelings now. Diana is a top lady and all us tent bakers are greats pals. Can't wait to tune into the rest of the series.— iain watters (@iain_watters) August 28, 2014
Paul Hollywood, too, waded into the controversy last night, and had this to say on his Twitter account.
At the end of the day Mary & I need something to judge, it's not about melted ice cream but about what's presented to US... #bingate— Paul Hollywood (@PaulHollywood) August 27, 2014
He also worried about how Mary would respond to the public outcry.
I'm glad Mary's not on twitter this would upset her.. #enoughnow— Paul Hollywood (@PaulHollywood) August 27, 2014
More from Diana on the Bingate controversy:
Speaking to her local BBC radio station this morning, Diana said: "We were all in it for the fun, for sharing our skills and our love of baking.
"This has made it look like some cut-throat competition. It's so far from the truth. We helped each other.
"I think someone is culpable for the editing, really.
"They painted me … I have lost my integrity. Anyone that knows me knows that I have not got that sort of bone in my body. I've been stitched up haven't I.
"I'm disappointed with the way it has been portrayed, and so is Iain. Actually, Iain has been my biggest ally.
"My conscience is intact."
Recalling the dramatic scenes inside the boiling GBBO tent, she said: "The freezer space was very limited and we were all allocated our freezer space.
"It was an utter surprise to find someone else's ice cream in my freezer.
"I asked whose it was, took it out because mine needed freezing, then Iain came and took it away. It was out of the freezer for 40 seconds.
"It was horrendous in there at the time. It was absolute chaos and so hot. I'm just sorry that Iain threw his baked Alaska in the bin."
Diana revealed she has avoided the barrage of abuse directed her way on social media following last night's programme.
"I call myself Diana-saurus. I don't do Twitter or Facebook. It perhaps as well that I don't right now," she said.
Twitter is still fuming over the events of last night.
Iain's dramatic exit has sent shockwaves through the Great British Bake Off fanbase.
For example:
i'm really not happy #BringIainBack #GBBO #dirtydiana #justiceforiain pic.twitter.com/58PNffW4AW— freeman (@Moriartea221) August 28, 2014
Here's some more furious and hilarious reaction to Iain's shock exit from the Great British Bake Off.
A lot of fans are pretty mad at WI doyenne Diana, who they say sabotaged his ice cream.
Twitter hasn't been this cross since Flappy Bird got pulled from the app store. Stay tuned.
As well as the fury of a nation of Iain fans raging at a confectionery-based injustice, people on the internet have been decidedly hilarious this morning.
We've compiled a selection of the best #bingate memes, so you needn't bother searching.
I so love British humour we do it best! #GBBO is very much in the headlines following #diana #freezergate incident pic.twitter.com/LXeH2c5aoa— Christopher Leader (@CJLeader68) August 28, 2014
The atmosphere online this morning has been of a decidedly pro-Iain nature. It seems most of you think he's been extremely hard done to, and that Diana got off scott free.
Do you agree? Or do you think Diana's getting a rough ride?
It's time to pick a side.
The first ever winner of the Great British Bake Off spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live this morning about #bingate.
Edd Kimber said: "In that tent it's really easy to get stressed so I'm not surprised in a moment of madness you do something a little bit silly.
Asked if he thought the producers had engineered the moment for dramatic effect, he said: "From the interaction I've had with the producers I would say no, but by the nature of the size of the tent, and the equipment, you do have to share things. You don't get a fridge each and you have a small freezer.
"So while I don't think it was intentional, I think they'll be quite happy with the result."
Here's some more of the Twitter reaction to last night's dramatic events.
For the sake of balance in all this hysteria, it should be noted that Iain was in the process of making a chocolate, black sesame seed and coffee caramel Baked Alaska.
Can we really be sure the bin wasn't the best place for it?
The BBC have issued an official response to the controversy surrounding Iain's shock exit from the Great British Bake Off.
"As shown in the episode, Iain became the fourth baker to leave the tent because he didn't present Mary and Paul with anything to judge in the showstopper challenge and both judges were very clear about the reasoning behind the decision.
"Due to the extreme temperature in the tent that day, many of the bakers struggled to get their ice cream to set as seen in the episode.
"Diana removing Iain's ice cream from the freezer for less than a minute was in no way responsible for Iain's departure."
What do you think? Did Iain get his beard in a twist over nothing? Did Diana get "stitched up"? Or was this a genuine case of confectionery sabotage?
Choose your team.
The BBC also confirmed there have been 556 official complaints about last night's show.
In less than 12 hours.
Never underestimate how strongly the British people feel about cake.
Here's the full story on the BBC's response to #Bingate.
Does this news change how you feel about the whole sorry affair?
Once again, it's time to pick a side.

The world's best known personalities have dental needs too. But what could modern dental treatments do for some of history's famous figures? What fictional characters could use some real time with a dentist?
The Chicago Dental Society surveyed more than 250 members to find out which patients--real, fake, alive or dead--they'd most like to see in their chair.
Imagine this eclectic list of patients together in a waiting room:
10) Dracula.Twilight fever has left our dentists wondering about those pointy teeth. Are they hollow like drinking straws? Can blood drinking cause cavities?
9) Elvis Presley. A visit with the King might finally put to rest those rumors about his death, but dentists are also curious about what cosmetic dental work was like in the 1960s.
8 ) Mona Lisa. Was a poor smile the reason the subject of the famous painting stayed tightlipped?
7) President Barack Obama. Bragging rights aside, dentists are generally concerned with our President's oral health--from the effects of his smoking to jaw clenching.
6) Julia Child. How was the oral health of one of America's greatest cooking legends? Our dentists would like to know, and maybe also swap recipes.
5) Tiger Woods. Some dentists admit they want the scoop on his "transgressions" first hand. Others are just seeking a great golf partner. One wants to fix Tiger's "pesky" discolored tooth.
4) Albert Einstein. Access to one of the greatest minds ever would certainly make for great conversation.
3) Jesus. Self-explanatory!
2) G.V. Black, known as the "Founding Father of Modern Dentistry." Quite unanimously, dentists agreed treating him would be an honor.
And the number one patient dentists would like to see in their practice....
George Washington. Two words: wooden teeth.
The survey was conducted for the Chicago Dental Society's 145th annual Midwinter Meeting, which will bring more than 30,000 dental professionals to Chicago this February. The Midwinter Meeting is a forum for dentists to learn about new products, technologies, and methods.
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

CBD Secretariat Launches Online Dialogue on Biodiversity and Climate Change
5 March 2009: In preparation for the second meeting of the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on biodiversity and climate change, to be held from 18-22 April 2009, in Helsinki, Finland, the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is hosting an internet-based discussion group from 9-20 March 2009.
The second meeting of the AHTEG will address the links between biodiversity, climate change adaptation, and risks and vulnerabilities. The discussion group seeks views from parties, other governments and relevant organizations on: case studies on reducing risks to biodiversity associated with climate change; steps taken to improve the integration of biodiversity considerations and traditional and local knowledge related to biodiversity within climate change adaptation; methodologies for analyzing the value of biodiversity in supporting adaptation in communities and sectors vulnerable to climate change; and case studies on providing incentives for the implementation of adaptation actions that promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

- 280g ready-made light brown regal icing or 280g ready-made white royal icing coloured brown by mixing together yellow, red and black food colouring
- 3 tbsp apricot jam
- 100g white chocolate
- 20g desiccated coconut
- Yellow and orange M&Ms
- Some drops of green food colouring or ½ tsp Japanese green tea powder
- 8 wooden skewers
- Icing sugar, for dusting.
- Flower candles- visit Squires Kitchen website
You will also need:
- 4 dariole moulds
- A 900g loaf tin
- star-or flower – shaped cookie cutter (about 4cm/2in)
- a tear-shaped cookie cutter and some baking parchment
- Pre-heat the oven to 180˚C/350˚F/Gas4. Grease the dariole moulds and line the bases with circles of baking parchment. Grease the loaf tin and line with baking parchment.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla then beat into the butter mixture a little at a time. Sift the flour, cocoa and salt and fold in well. Divide the mixture between the prepared moulds to half-full. The remaining mixture goes into the loaf tin; spread it evenly, about 1cm (1.2 in) thick.
- Place the dariole moulds and the loaf tin in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes until risen and firm. Allow to cool, and then remove from the dariole moulds and the loaf tin to a wire rack until completely cold.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the light brown royal icing to make 20 x 30cm (8x 12in) rectangle. Using a sharp knife and a ruler, cut the icing to fit around the sides of the dariole cakes, so they look like little pots – about 5-6 am (2- 2 ½ in), depending on how high the cakes are – then make four thin strips, about 1.5cm (1in) for the pot rims. Re-roll trimmings to make the strips, if necessary.
- Using cookie cutter, cut out four flower shapes and leaves from the loaf-tin cake. Break the white chocolate into small pieces and melt over a bowl of simmering water. Dip one side of the flower cakes into the chocolate and cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle the coconut (or grated white chocolate) on top and pale M&M in the centre.
- Add some drops of green food colouring or the green tea powder to the rest of the melted white chocolate. Dip the leaves into the green chocolate and set aside to harden. To serve, attach the flower and the leaves to the pot using wooden skewers (remove skewers before eating).

As we watch the days of another hot Tennessee summer start to wind down and wait with anticipation for cooler temperatures and the change of season, it's time to reflect on the changes occurring here at the Sanctuary. Those seemingly least affected by all transitions, both in nature and of human making, are amazingly, the elephants. With everything going on around us, it brings a sense of assurance to see the Girls going about their daily lives as usual, grazing and wandering with quiet contentment.

We are not scared any more. Your threats to arrest us are meaningless to us as you cannot arrest an idea. Any attempt to do so will make your citizens more angry until they will roar in one gigantic choir. It is our mission to help these people and there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- you can possibly do to make us stop.

Timothy Salzman didn't know that the horse he trains, Sensible Lady, would be a turf horse. He didn't know until he tried.
Four starts later, the results are clear: Sensible Lady was bred to run on the grass.
After winning three straight on turf, the three-year old filly dominated again, coming from deep in the pack to blow the field away in the stretch and win the Jennie Wade, one of three stake races on Friday night's card at Penn National race course.
"We had two races we were thinking about, and when we saw the style of this race, we decided to come here because of how it set up for us," Salzman said.
Sensible Lady set off as the post-time favorite, and Salzman knew the race would set up for jockey Xavier Perez to sit a bit of the pace, and he did, as Citizen Advocate and Carole's Love dueled out in front early on.
While Salzman thought she sat back maybe too far- Sensible Lady sat in fifth coming around the final turn- she raced past the field on the outside and drew clear by a length and a quarter to win.
"Our goal was to come in here tonight and win, of course," Salzman said.
"We have a few races lined up in the future we're picking between, but we just love this horse. She's all class."
The Jennie Wade was the headline race on a three-stakes night on the first day of the Governor's Cup Racing Festival weekend. In the first stakes of the night- The Femme Fatale- Srumdiddlyumptious took the lead turning into the stretch and never looked back, lasting just long enough for her third win in five starts. In the final stakes of the night- The Red Carpet- Martita Sangrita rallied late in her first race at Penn National to hold off Clare Skies Ahead, who charged onto the board late.
Saturday's racing will be headlined by the Governor's Cup, which could feature the first back-to-back winner in the race's history, as Ben's Cat returns to defend his 2011 victory.
"Ben's Cat is an outstanding turf sprinter, and can become a racing millionaire with a victory. Combine that with the fact that there's never been a back-to-back winner in the 40 year history of the Governor's Cup, and it's going to be a very exciting race," Penn National's publicity director Fred Lipkin said.
The Governor's Cup is one of three stake races on the card, with 2011 Wood Memorial winner Toby's Corner headlining the Mountainview Handicap.

Many Americans that have been hit hard by the economic crisis are eager to put 2009 behind them.
The year ended with the unemployment rate at 10 percent. A record 20 million people collected unemployment benefits during 2009.
The Federal Reserve predicted unemployment rates will stay above 9 percent through the end of 2010.
Such a slow place of hiring could force the Obama administration to spend as much as $70 billion this year to extend unemployment benefits.

|« Ethiopia - Eritrea : Fear of War Increasing in Horn of Africa
|Ethiopia - Daniel Bekele and Netsanet Demissie to walk free »
Ethiopia - Ethiopian anti-poverty campaigners vindicated by court
26 December 2007 – Ethiopian activists Daniel Bekele and Netsanet Demissie may face brief additional time behind bars, as the court today sentenced them to two years and six months in prison on charges of incitement, despite demands by the prosecution that they receive the maximum sentence of 10 years.
"While we welcome the fact that Daniel and Netsanet may soon be reunited with their friends, families and colleagues in civil society, we are perplexed and dismayed by the additional sentence. Everyday they have spent and possibly will spend in prison is a deep injustice. They are true heroes of Ethiopia, true heroes of Africa and for everyone around the world who supports democracy, justice and the fight against poverty ," said Kumi Naidoo, Secretary General of CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation and Co-Chair of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) who was present at the sentencing this morning.
Daniel and Netsanet, coordinators of GCAP in Ethiopia, were today sentenced to two years and six months in prison by the Federal High Court in Addis Ababa for provocation and preparing incitement in the aftermath of the May 2005 elections. On Monday, they were acquitted of conspiracy to overthrow the constitutional order, but were found guilty on the lesser charge. CIVICUS and GCAP anticipate that they will soon be released, given the two years and two months they have already spent behind bars, as well as their good behaviour and their willingness to cooperate with the court.
Before sentencing them this morning, the judges read a statement recognising their contributions to peace, democracy and the rule of law in Ethiopia. The presiding judge dissented from the verdict and has consistently maintained they are innocent of the charges, finding their actions to be fully within the constitution.
"The judges' statement today read more like a citation for the Nobel Peace Prize than justification for even a single day they have spent in prison ," said Kumi Naidoo.
Since Daniel and Netsanet's arrest in November 2005, civil society organisations in Ethiopia have come under increasing scrutiny, and many have been forced into silence on controversial issues for fear of meeting the same fate as Daniel and Netsanet.
Speaking from Ethiopian Federal court, Kumi Naidoo said, " This case has significance beyond the travesty of justice against Daniel and Netsanet. Their continued detention has had a chilling effect on civil society in Ethiopia. It is extremely important that the judges stated none of their actions were against the constitution and were in fact legitimate civil society activities. We hope that this vindication will enable civil society to fully exercise its role, including advocacy for human rights, democracy, peace and the eradication of poverty ."
Aside from their work with GCAP, Daniel is also head of the policy department at ActionAid International Ethiopia. Netsanet is also the founder of local human rights group Organisation for Social Justice in Ethiopia.
At the start of the trial in May 2006, 131 opposition politicians, journalists, civil society leaders and organisations stood accused of a range of charges from genocide to treason. They were among thousands who were detained following protests accusing the government of rigging the 15 May 2005 parliamentary elections. Many of the accused were acquitted during the course of the trial. Others were convicted but pardoned in July and August 2007 – all of whom signed a confession, admitting use of "unconstitutional means to change the constitutionally established government functions" following the 2005 elections.
Although they were asked to sign a similar statement, Daniel and Netsanet declined. They argued that their activities in 2005 were entirely legal and did not serve to undermine, but rather to protect and promote Ethiopia's constitutional order.
Recognised as Amnesty International prisoners of conscience, Daniel and Netsanet were consistently denied bail, even after seven attempts, including an appeal to the Supreme Court.
prosecution is what the option for criminals. I do hope they lean well how to behaved during their lock up times.Yeha
From what I Understand you are on the rulling party side & things did not go the way you expected looser.
Daniel and Netsanet are true heroes of ethiopia. great job our future leaders.Thank you judge for being on the right side god bless you.
You don't get it do you?
Read again the words of Kumi Naidoo, Co-Chair of GCAP:
"This case has significance beyond the travesty of justice against Daniel and Netsanet. Their continued detention has had a chilling effect on civil society in Ethiopia. It is extremely important that the judges stated none of their actions were against the constitution and were in fact legitimate civil society activities. We hope that this vindication will enable civil society to fully exercise its role, including advocacy for human rights, democracy, peace and the eradication of poverty."
If anything, it will strengthen their resolve to fight against the human rights abuse that goes on unabated by the tyrannical regime of Legese (Meles) Zenawi.

Dear Netsanet and Daniel!!!
Stay strong brothers to your self conscience. You stood fast with your belief of innocence and have shown us how strong you are to your commitment while all the politicians sold conscience and sign some damming letter to be let go from prison. But you two heroes rejected to sign any paper and here you are still fighting for your freedom bravely with total honesty to your selves. May go be with you and soon you will get your righteous freedom not from Man(woyane) but from God on his own virtue.
You see the politicians sold their conscience by signing surrenderd to Meles in order to go out and bite each other's back. But I admire your resilience to the truth and not surrendering your conscience to the bully.
Stay strong ANBSOCH.
Discretion exists at each stage of the criminal justice system, that the police have discretion to give a tickets or not to give for minor traffic violations, prosecutors have discretion to charge or not to charge, defense attorneys have discretion to accept or refuse cases, and judges have discretion when they make rulings on sentencing time. In this particular case, I think our judges used their discretion while they made sentencing to those two individuals. I am very happy with the decision of the judges, and I like to say happy chrismas to Daniel and Nestanet, and please stay away from trouble.
I am very happy that Daniel and Netsanet are out of jail. They should not have been there in the first place. I was in Addis during the election period - Daniel was active during the election and he may have crossed the line for a country not fully matured. He was also attacked by the police – which was very cruel. He definitely miscalculated the situation at time. He defied the governments order after the election and he has to bear some responsibilities. I am more convinced now than before that the opposition claim was exaggerated. We don't really know who won the election. I blamed the gov't 100% during the crisis but it's clear that Kinijit also did us from behind. It's a shame where the Kinijit is today after so much hardship. The true Ethiopians are Daniel and Netsanet. Forget about the so called 'intellectual leaders'. They were fancying to grab power but their dream was cut short. After, I witness their in fighting for power in DC. I thank God that these people didn't take power. We need people, who are tasted by fire to unite and lead the country to much higher level. I give 100% credit for my people for doing well on their very first election despite the problems that we had faced. We have witnessed the killings in other countries. We have a very tolerant culture and people and we should continue to build on that… I hope that we as a people and country have learned something from the past mistakes. Hopefully, the government and the opposition will not lead us into another blood shed.
God Bless Emeye Ethiopia
Some Woyane pupetts think justice is given by Woyane or Meles that what "paid politician" can think or dream. It is really time wasting to say more about them. Justice is born from great cost paid by the people. These individual heros would not have been jailed rather rewarded for their contribution in empowering the civil society.
Guys, the case is closed. These adventurers are guilty and nobody is above the law. Which part of the law is difficult to understand? No hoopla from now on will change the fact that these adventurers will serve their prison sentence.
God Bless Ethiopia!
The people who vote for Kinjit in 1997 must fire a group of Berhanu Nega,Hailu Shawel give the mandet to led Kinjit for Daniel and Netsanet.
I am glad you guys are free and back to your community. As far as we concern you are a hero for million Ethiopian who are suffering under the bloodsucker Melese regime. We all pray for you guys long health… Keep fighting till you guys fulfill your dream…
What a very funny verdit!!!!! In its reasoning, the court said that these two guys contributed much to peace, democracy and human rights in Ethiopia. It analysed the facts of the case in favor of the defendants. Unfortunately, the court does not seem to have realized that it is being inconsistent when it drwas its conclusion. It is obvious that the judges in this case have lost all of their sense of logic.They desperately tried to prove that these guys are guilty of doing the right thing. Simply put, the court is saying that the acts of Daniel and Netsanet are commendable, yet they are guilty of doing such a remarkable job.
they are guilty.
ethiopia did not want guilty hero.
All this low life Tigray origin like Z- mice,Yeha etc. should not be allowed to comment on this web . After all they are not Ethiopian .
Taye, chicken headed kinijit looser, what are you talking about. This is Ethiopian forum and anyone has the right to post comments, thats the beauty of democracy, after all the forum is free for anyone from all part of the world. Please don be another hailu Shawel or Birtukan Medikssa. Don t try to fart when your leaders are farting, because its indiscent and stinks.

|Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode
Vampire Willow (from "The Wish") captures Willow
|Episode no.
|Season 3
Episode 16
|Directed by
|Joss Whedon
|Written by
|Joss Whedon
|Production code
|Original air date
|February 23, 1999
|Guest appearance(s)
"Doppelgangland" is the sixteenth episode of the third season of the fantasy television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003). It was written and directed by the show's creator, Joss Whedon, and originally aired on The WB Television Network in the United States on February 23, 1999. The episode's title is derived from the term "Doppelgänger", a German word for a look-alike or double of a living person.
The premise of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is that an adolescent girl, Buffy Summers, is chosen by mystical forces and given superhuman powers to kill vampires, demons, and other evil creatures in the fictional town of Sunnydale. She is supported by a close circle of family and friends, nicknamed the Scooby Gang. "Doppelgangland" revisits the alternate reality created in the ninth episode of the third season, "The Wish", in which Buffy never arrived in Sunnydale and vampires ruled the city. In "Doppelgangland", when Anya, a vengeance demon who previously granted the wish, attempts a spell to regain her powers. The spell fails and pulls the alternate universe's Willow (Alyson Hannigan)—an evil vampire—into the current world and inevitably face-to-face with her human counterpart.
"Doppelgangland" primarily focuses on the character Willow, much like the season three episode "The Zeppo" focuses on the character Xander.[1] The episode was highly praised by the media and critics upon its airing, and it is widely considered to be one of the best episodes in the series.[citation needed]
In the show, Buffy Summers is a teenager who, at the age of fifteen, was chosen by mystical forces to be the latest Slayer, a girl endowed with superhuman powers to fight and defeat vampires, demons, and other evil forces. After moving to the fictional town of Sunnydale, she befriends Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon), who join her in the struggle against evil. They are guided by Buffy's Watcher, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), who is well-versed in demonology and is responsible for Buffy's training as a Slayer. During season two, Willow begins to experiment with magic, eventually becoming a formidable witch.
In the third season, Buffy returns to Sunnydale after attempting a new start in Los Angeles. However, she struggles to regain her old life. Willow and Xander address and act on their mutual attraction. After a vampire named Spike captures the two, Willow and Xander share a kiss that Oz (Seth Green) and Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter), their respective significant others, witness. Upon the arrival of a vengeance demon named "Anya", Cordelia makes a wish that Buffy had never arrived in Sunnydale, creating an alternate reality in which vampires rule the city. After Giles destroys her amulet, Anya loses her powers and the previous state of Sunnydale is restored.
According to Buffy scholar Roz Kaveney, episodes in the third season address various forms of betrayal.[2]
Anya unsuccessfully entreats D'Hoffryn to restore her demonic powers.
Principal Snyder browbeats Willow into tutoring basketball star Percy West. At Giles's request, Willow hacks into Mayor Wilkins's files; when Faith finds out, she alerts him of the intrusion. Wilkins presents Faith with a fully furnished apartment and then tells her he plans to have Willow killed.
Percy makes it clear that his idea of "tutoring" is that Willow should do his homework, and Willow does not correct him. Frustrated and unhappy, Willow then quarrels with Buffy and Xander and storms away. Willow assists Anya with a spell, but their conjuration goes awry, summoning "Willow" from "The Wish" rather than retrieving the magic amulet Anya sought. Neither Anya nor Willow realizes the consequences of their spell.
Vampire Willow goes to the Bronze, where she fights with Percy, throwing him across the pool table, and shows her vampire face to Xander and Buffy. Two vampires sent by the Mayor attack her, but she turns them to her side. Buffy and Xander tell Giles that Willow has been killed and turned vampiric, but the genuine Willow arrives to demonstrate their error.
Angel and Anya drop into the Bronze. Vampire Willow and her new minions arrive and capture the crowd. Angel escapes to find Buffy. Anya recognizes what has happened, offers to restore Vampire Willow to her own world in return for help in retrieving her amulet, and suggests capturing the other Willow to assist in the spell. Angel, Buffy and Xander head for the Bronze, but Willow, turning back to get the tranquilizer gun, is captured by her doppelganger. Willow shoots the vampire; the others arrive back in the library. They lock the unconscious vampire in the library cage, and Willow exchanges clothes with her in an attempt to pass herself off as Vamp Willow. They return to the Bronze.
Cordelia arrives at the library and unwittingly releases Vampire Willow, who immediately attacks her, but Wesley intervenes and drives the vampire away. At the Bronze, although Anya exposes Willow's disguise, Buffy defeats the other vampires, then captures the returning doppelganger. Anya returns vampiric Willow to her own timeline, where the alternate Oz immediately kills her. The next day, Percy, thoroughly intimidated by Willow's doppelganger (and believing she was the real Willow), shows up for tutoring with all his work completed and makes it clear he intends to please her from now on.
Series creator Joss Whedon liked the character of "Vamp Willow", who was first introduced in "The Wish", so much that he wrote an episode specifically for her.
- Vamp Willow bites and sires a human named Sandy (Megan Gray), who reappears as a vampire in the Season 5 episodes "Family" and "Shadow," when she tries to coax Riley Finn. "Family" was also written and directed by Joss Whedon.
- Despite Buffy's belief that vampires' personalities are different from their human predecessors', Angel has implied that the demons can take over some of their attributes and qualities. Willow commented that her vampire self seemed "kind of gay", which is repeated in the season six episode Tabula Rasa, when the Scooby Gang have lost their memories. Buffy remarked that vampires and their human counterparts were nothing alike, but Angel began to correct this before letting the matter go. This episode foreshadowed Willow's homosexuality in Season Four and onward. Willow, as "Dark Willow," later repeated Vamp Willow's phrase "Bored now" before skinning Warren Mears in 'Villains'.
- Principal Snyder mentions "Last years debacle with the swim team", this is a reference to the Season 2 episode "Go Fish".
- "Dopplegangland" sees two versions of Willow appear on screen together; the Prime Willow and the Vamp Willow. This marks the first story in which two versions of a main character appear simultaneously in an episode. In the Season 5 episode "The Replacement", Xander is split into two versions of himself, one with weak qualities and one with strong. Again in Season 5, this time the eighteenth episode "Intervention", it is Buffy who is duplicated when Spike orders Warren Mears to create the "Buffybot". The character continues to make appearances throughout the rest of Season 5 before being destroyed in the Season 6 opener.
When the episode was originally broadcast in the United States on February 23, 1999, it received a Nielsen rating of 4.1, meaning more than 4 million people watched it.[3] The episode placed 84th out of 121 broadcast television shows for the week it aired.[3] "Doppelgangland" was also the second most-watched program of the week on The WB Television Network.
"Doppelgangland" received high praise from critics. When Noel Murray from The A.V. Club reviewed the episode in 2009, after beginning his first look at the series in 2008, he commented that the episode "is terrific on myriad levels, from the dialogue to the plot twists to the multiple spot-on character moments. But mostly it's a top-drawer episode for the way it binds the Buffyverse together, by demonstrating how adept the writing staff is at remembering everything they've done on the show before, and re-using the elements that still have plenty of juice in them."[1]
Many fans and critics consider the episode to be among the best in the Buffy catalogue. Daily Kos, an American political blog, ranked the episode at number eight in its list of the ten best episodes in the series.[4] Malinda Lo from AfterEllen.com included the episode in her top ten as well.[5] Series creator Joss Whedon has placed "Doppelgangland" fifth in his list of favorite episodes from the show, stating "one Willow is certainly not enough."[6] Alyson Hannigan, who portrays the character Willow, also considers the episode to be one of her favorites in the series.[7] According to TV.com, the episode holds an average score of 9.5/10, based on 658 compiled ratings.[8]

To judge from Chop House Burger's instant popularity, you'd think there wasn't a decent burger within a 10-mile radius of downtown. The 2-month-old spot, brought to us by the owners of Dallas Fish Market just next door and Dallas Chop House two blocks away, seems to be filling a serious need in the 'hood. It's a quick, comfortable place to relax — but not dawdle — over a good burger made from naturally raised local beef.
Order at the front from the brief menu, which offers just two burgers fashioned from locally raised beef, plus others made from buffalo or tuna. You might grab a chopped salad from the cooler — it's big enough for two as a starter. And do consider fries. It will all be brought to the table in surprisingly short order.
What's great about the burgers is the meat: Gently formed patties of terrific beef raised with no hormones or antibiotics, they arrived cooked perfectly medium-rare, just as we ordered them, on fluffy brioche buns.
The Chop House Burger ($5.95), with thin slices of tomato and red onion and a lettuce leaf or two, comes slathered with a truffle sauce — not the thing to order if you're not a fan of truffle oil. The Wine Country ($7.95) comes dressed with arugula, goat cheese, onion and tomato, plus a dousing of honey-mustard, which makes it pretty sweet.
Next time I'd order one or the other, but without those crazy sauces. Seems to me like the moment to rely on ketchup.
Hot, crisp, good skinny fries come plain or dressed up with truffle oil, Parmesan and parsley.
There are beer and wine, along with a wonderful iced tea that tastes of lemon verbena and cardamom. For dessert, do try the thick and chocolaty Malt Balls shake.
Before you know it, you'll be out on Main Street, maybe even ready to face the office again.
1501 Main St., Dallas. 214-741-2747. chophouseburger.com. Open Sunday-Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Rockwall has a new Olive Garden. In addition to the regular menu, the restaurant will offer limited-time dishes: grilled-chicken Parmesan, Parmesan-crusted
shrimp and Parmesan- crusted steak. 1043 E. Interstate 30, Rockwall. 972-722-0425. More locations at olivegarden.com.

These days, you can store practically all of your computer information on your cell phone – from your entire music collection to the latest dog-riding-a-skateboard video. You can also use your mobile device as a safety net in case of emergency. Take five minutes right now to tap these important numbers into your contact list so you'll be prepared if something happens.
ICE − This number, which stands for "in case of emergency," should be your emergency contact – a parent, spouse, close friend or whomever you want notified if something happens to you. Many emergency responders and hospital personnel know to look for this number.
Home − Your home phone number, if you have one. If someone finds your lost cell phone, he or she can call this number to let you know your phone is intact. Emergency personnel may also try it as an alternative number if there is no answer at the ICE number.
Police − In case you have an emergency or witness someone else who needs help, you can notify your local police station about the situation more rapidly if you already have the number stored in your phone.
State highway patrol − See a motorist stranded by the side of the road? Be a good Samaritan and call the state highway patrol for assistance.
Insurance company − If you're in an accident, you can notify your insurance company right away and get roadside assistance or towing help if you need it. (Nationwide's toll-free number for claims is 1-800-421-3535.)
Your motor club − Membership in an auto club can get you out of a jam. Store their 800 number in your cell phone in case you lock your keys inside the car or get a flat tire. If you have Nationwide Roadside Assistance, that number is 1-800-421-3535.
A word about 911 and cell phones
While technology continues to improve, many wireless phones do not offer a way to determine a caller's location. If you call 911 in an emergency, be sure to mention your location, your phone number and what has happened.

BILOXI, Mississippi -- Anyone planning to venture to and from Biloxi this weekend will do so at their own peril, traffic-wise.
Take 20,000 car enthusiasts in town for Scrapin' the Coast, add another 15,000 or more expected for the Darius Rucker concert, and toss in the fact that Interstate 110 will shut down at 7 p.m. Saturday, and you've got the makings for one whopper of a traffic jam.
And local police know it.
"Needless to say, it's an all-hands event for the police department," said Biloxi Police Patrol Commander Maj. Jim Adamo. "With bridge work causing the closure of I-110, we're having to make sure we keep traffic moving and avoid gridlock."
I-110 will shut down from 7 p.m. Saturday until 7 a.m. Sunday as the Mississippi Department of Transportation tears down the Big Ridge Road bridge. The closure will prompt Biloxi police to divert traffic from the Rucker concert west to Ocean Springs.
"Somewhere in the neighborhood of 8:30 Saturday night we'll begin diverting westbound traffic off U.S. 90 onto Myrtle Street as it comes off the Biloxi Bay Bridge," Adamo said. "This will allow us to move concert traffic from Kuhn Street towards the Biloxi Bay Bridge until we can get the congestion cleared out."
The detour will force motorists wishing to travel west from the concert at Harrah's Gulf Coast will have to travel east over the bridge, up Highway 609 (North Washington Avenue) to Interstate 10, then west on I-10 to the Cedar Lake exit.
Ocean Springs police, meanwhile, are prepared for the delightful "gift" their Biloxi counterparts are sending them Saturday.
"We've got extra men scheduled for Saturday," Ocean Springs Police Capt. Chuck Jackson said. "We'll be ready for whatever may occur after the concert -- or before, for that matter."
MDOT engineer Kelly Castleberry explained Thursday that the demolition of the Big Ridge Road bridge has been planned for several months and that Saturday nights are generally the best time for such work. He noted June 21 was selected before anyone knew about the Rucker concert and to fall in between Father's Day and the Fourth of July.
"On Saturdays, traffic typically begins to fall off after 7 p.m.," Castleberry said. "The contract calls for a 14-hour window, from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m., to get this done. We're using explosives, so there are other factors involved and this affects a lot of stakeholders."
Castleberry said MDOT crews will adjust the traffic signals along Highway 609 in Ocean Springs/St. Martin to allow traffic leaving the concert to flow more freely until the congestion clears.
"We're going to work closely with all the local entities to make sure traffic flows smoothly," Castleberry said, adding that I-110 had been closed every night for the past week and they "haven't had any problems with traffic."

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has been increasingly used since 1968. It is now an established method of maintaining normal nitrogen balance in patients who otherwise would be unable to do so. The use of all forms of intravenous infusion therapy has been largely responsible for the success in treating critically ill patients. In this issue of the Archives (p 1686), Plouffe et al discuss an outbreak of infection caused by contamination of the system used in preparing infusion fluid. Although Candida albicans is the most common cause of fungemia complicating intravenous therapy, other species such as C parapsilosis have been isolated, and the clinical picture appears to be the same, regardless of which Candida species is responsible.1
Patients receiving hyperalimentation who develop candidemia usually clear the fungus from the blood shortly after the infusion catheter has been removed. Phagocytosis and the clumping factor in normal human serum destroys small

I have a XD 45 ACP. I was wondering what the over all length of the loaded case everyone is reloading them to?

Depends on the bullet. Best policy, check your manual(s) for seating depth on the same or at least, a similarly designed bullet of the same weight. In other words, a 230 grain FMJ and a 230 grain plated RN can be seated similarly as could two similarly shaped 185 grain hollow points. As a rule-of-thumb, I seat most 230 grain RN bullets to +/- 1.260, most 230 grain JHP to +/- 1.230 and most 185 JHP to +/- 1.200.
December 25, 2008, 08:06 PM
I seat most 200 Gr SWC's at 1.260 to 1.265, as I do 230 Gr RN. I seat the Berrys 200 Gr HP at 1.200. I seat the Berrys 185 Gr SWC at 1.190. I seat the 225 Gr X-Treme TrFP at 1.215. I seat the Zero 185 Gr JHP at 1.220 to 1.225. I seat the Zero 230 Gr JHP at 1.245. I seat the Rem GD 230 JHP at 1.230 as well as the 200 & 230 Gr XTP.
Just depends. :)
December 26, 2008, 12:42 PM
what i usually do is measure the oal of factory loaded rounds that resembles what i am loading, and use that measurement. unless i am trying to work up a special load for one reason or another. or have a problem with feeding. i seldom run into trouble doing this. if i was trying to get every last fps out of a round, i would start working the length outward until you have feed problems, back it up .020" and then start upping the powder 1/10th at a time until you get the highest velocity with safe pressures.
December 26, 2008, 01:10 PM
Like Walkalong, I seat my H&G #68 style SWC to 1.260-65. My Springfield XD requires them this long. My SA M1911 prefers them 1.250-55. Also, the XD wants 4.0gr vs. 3.7 Clays for the M1911.
Two different "systems", two different requirements..........
December 28, 2008, 02:29 AM
I load from 1.260" to 1.270" depending u[on what the bullet profile is. I don't see how some of the books recommend 1.200" but they do.
December 28, 2008, 11:31 AM
The answer sort of depends on your mag.
I usually set the length to equal that of the factory round I'm loading. If you're doing something beyond that, like loading a cast 255 SWC bullet intended for 45 Colt, for example, here's what you can do.
Some mags are exceptionally long - others rather short. If you load to industry standard length, you should be just fine. To see how long your mag might allow, take a factory round, put it in the mag, and push it down with your thumb so it's as deep in the mag as the 'second round' would be. Observe the space between the front of the mag and the front of the loaded round. That gap is how much room you have to play with, more or less.
Mind you, that's just an eyeball check and you still have to work with variables like having enough bullet in the casing to allow for a proper crimp, pressure generated, and all that.
