News Report: LED ZEPPELIN: ROSE PALACE 5-3-69
I hope you were at the Rose Palace on May 3. If you weren't, you missed the best concert we have had here in a long time. The group that highlighted the show was Led Zeppelin, who I'm sure you have already heard a lot about since they are one of the fastest rising groups in the music scene today. Zeppelin played for a capacity crowd that night and though nearly 500 fans were turned away from the door, I was lucky to get in.
The group is composed of four brilliant and talented musicians. The vocals were done by Robert Plant. Notice I end my sentence there because, in my eyes, no one could surpass Robert Plant. He feels the songs so deeply, the audience couldn't help but pick up his vibes; he could do no wrong. He is a new voice on the scene. Fresh and alive with all the ferocity and • suggestiveness of Morrison but with the soul and feeling of the great Otis Redding. Plant has so much going for him, it would be impossible to disagree.
Jimmy Page, lead guitarist and former member of the Yardbirds, proved that people such as Clapton and Hendrix aren't the only greats of our time. From the first note he played, I was sure I was in for an outta-site night. Plant's screaming voice answering Page's wailing guitar added so much to the group's driving sound. The two worked together so perfectly it seemed that Plant's voice and Page's guitar were one, striving for-the ultimate sound, which in my opinion was achieved.
On bass was John Paul Jones, sending out to the audience bass runs so heavy that they seem to vibrate your whole being. Truly amazing. Even though he kept to himself most of the time, his playing kept bursting through to still further Zeppelin's hard driving sound.
Last but certainly not least is John Bonham, one of the most talented young drummers I have had the pleasure to hear. I guess what makes John so exceptional is the fact that he has individuality. The things he does with those drums are something else. At one part of his solo, he got up from his drums and drummed everything in sight on the stage. The fascinating thing about it was that steady pounding rhythm was kept on throughout his performance. He really blew a lot of people's minds. This combination of musicians makes up one of the best groups around. There's talk that Led Zeppelin will be the group to follow up the Cream. I can't think of any other group worthy enough to replace the Cream's role in the music world. The group performed most of their songs from their lst Atlantic album, simply entitled, LED ZEPPELIN. Once again, we can hear the group's talent and individuality that sets them apart from just being another "pop group." Songs like "I Can't Quit You Baby," "You Shook Me," and "How Many More Times," just tore up the audience. What they do with some of the old songs is remarkable. Their rendition of "You Shook Me" is too much. Many groups have recorded this song but none have done as good a job as Zeppelin. The way Plant stretches the words in the song has a great effect on the listener. Another cut off their album done that night was "Baby I'm Going To Leave You" more proof of the group's talent of taking a song and putting new life to it.
After doing their last song, "Dazed and Confused" the crowd wouldn't let them off the stage. Screams and shouts of "MORE" filled the room, the appreciation of the audience to the group was unlike anything I have ever seen. it was like the crowd couldn't live without that ONE MORE SONG. The group equally appreciated the audience and came back and did just one more song. The song, "Communication Breakdown," completely "broke-down" the audience. From the way Zeppelin performed that last song, you could tell they were loving every minute of this, their last performance in the United States. With the last note played, the great LED ZEPPELIN left the stage leaving their songs ringing in the heads of the people that saw them. I'm sure this concert will be the topic of conversation for a long time.
Led Zeppelin will be coming back in four months for another tour to give us another jolt of their electric sound. So take my advice and go see them when they're back, you won't regret it. Just ask some of the people who went. [by Rodney Bingenheimer, World Countdown, June 1969]
News report (#2): Hollywood, a city that is used to visiting dignitaries from all walks of life, is going all out to welcome Britain's newest musical rage, Led Zeppelin. Such excitement has not been generated by a group
since the Beatles set foot in Los Angeles three years ago.
Led Zeppelin, who arrived in the states last week for their second stateside tour appeared at the Rose Palace (launching pad for the annual Rose Parade festivities) in Pasadena recently. A host of stars purchased tickets for the event, including Joanne Woodward, Paul Newman and Laurence Harvey.
Producer Mark Carliner who happened to catch the group in San Francisco recently, is talking film projects with them. He is convinced they can be the logical successors on the screen to the Beatles and duplicate their high-flying box office success.


text: It is not unusual for me to get bee calls this time of year. They slack off in late June through mid August and then pick up until mid-late October...believe it or not. Problem is, in the fall, about one in fifty is an actual honey bee call. The rest are wasps and hornets. Last batch of calls were; one Paper Wasp, one Yellow Jacket, three Red Wasps and one Yellow Wasp. I had to debate with two of the callers explaining the difference in bees vs wasp/hornets and they didn't back down. All wanted me to exterminate them and I informed them that I am not geared that way and they need to call an exterminator. Only one person was not upset by me informing them of this. Just needed to vent...Thanks

Crooner Engelbert Humperdinck will be 77 in May. (Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 1:45 PM
By Cliff Seiber / American Press
Engelbert Humperdinck promises a fast-moving show with a touch of humor but mostly one man and his music when he appears at L'Auberge on Friday night. The concert will include his hits that people expect — "Release Me," "There Goes My Everything" and "Last Waltz" — plus new material.
He will perform at 9 p.m. in the L'Auberge Lake Charles event center.
The singer, whose career has spanned over several stage names and different performance genres for more than four decades, will be 77 in May.
"But I'm not the regular 77," he said in a telephone interview with the American Press on Wednesday. "I have been blessed with healthy genes to remain strong and healthy. I haven't even had the flu this year," referring to the current epidemic in the U.S. and abroad.
He just returned to the U.S. Tuesday from touring Austria and the Lourdes shrine in France with his wife and other family members. It was a pleasure trip, and his appearance in Lake Charles will be the first performance on his 2013 itinerary. He will perform at L'Auberge Baton Rouge on Saturday.
"I look forward to starting the new year's schedule," he said.
He has updated his style to a better, more commercial sound, from what he is known for since his debut on the world pop music scene with the hit single "Release Me" in 1967. He adapted the country song recorded by several well-known artists to a smooth ballad style. It was about that time that his first manager suggested he change his name from Arnold George Dorsey to that of a 19th-century opera composer. Before becoming Engelbert Humperdinck, he used the stage name Gerry Dorsey for a while.
At a recent recording session, his manager said, "My goodness. I've never heard you sing like that before."
He is working on an album of duets, following the success of Frank Sinatra's and Tony Bennett's recording with other stars. Bennett last year released has second album of duets. Humperdinck is joined by such singers as Elton John, Smokey Robinson and a list of others on the CD.
"I hope it will be released by my birthday, May 2," he said.
Between sessions in the recording studio, he makes about 90 concert appearances a year.
Englebert Humperdinck will appear at the L'Auberge Lake Charles Casino and Resort at 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18.
Tickets are available at Ticketmaster or call by calling 800-745-3000 or visiting Legends or the Business Center at L'Auberge.

Tower Records
Once upon a time, there were large stores where you could buy music on overpriced plastic disks. One of the large national chains was Tower Records and they had a large store at the corner of 66th Street and Broadway, just north of Lincoln Center. I got some pictures of the store just before they closed in the wake of a bankruptcy filing.

I'm fairly indifferent about the use of PEDs in sports....i used to super opposed to it like the majority(i assume), but these days, it's hard to stand that ground.
I was watching some stand up, Daniel Tosh....and he was like:
we NEED steroids in sports....baseball specifically. who wants to watch a pitching duel!?!?
We'll put an asterisk next to Barry Bonds' name, sure, as soon as we put one next to Babe Ruth's name. Getting to break records before black people were allowed to play? Excuse me, where is that asterisk? Why don't people talk about that?
lol...i mean the guy is a tool, but im inclined to agree with him.
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
my point is that certain people in the league get ****ing pissed when a vote happens and is finalized before they see it, they get legit angry because they didn't get to vote.
but my point is why do they get angry?...obviously whether they voted or not makes literally no difference what so ever because there were enough votes to pass whatever it was before they saw it...you know what I'm saying? I don't understand...why get pissed at something you can't change, it's like being angry that the sun is so bright or the sky is blue.....what is, is. why get all angry.
So can we hurry up and pick a format so I can draft McCoy
but whether the league is "MMB Standard" or "Flex" really you are going to get angry you didn't take part in the process even though if you had the results would have been the same?
I don't know I just don't get it, if a vote was done over the weekend and I missed it and came back to find it was passed I might ask who voted for what....but if it passed it passed...nothing I can do no reason to get angry.

CEH and other questions
I just graduated from RIT with a Bachelor of Science degree in IT (Website Development and Networking).
Now I am focusing on Offensive Warfare as my main specialty. So I want to specialize in Penetration Testing and get licensed. I want to get certified in OSCP, or LPT.
http://www.offensive-security.com/infor ... backtrack/
Then eventually I will probably take Cryptography (program viruses) at RIT, and be able to write/program my own exploits via python, perl, and etc.
I really want to register for a course online (I can't do it via live classroom because I have hearing loss and would require an ASL interpreter) so online class would be ideal for me.
So please put me in the right direction and where should I do first? Thanks!

Story highlights
- CNN asks readers to share what they love about Chicago
- "Chicago is the world in one place," says Reynaldo Leal.
- "Chicago doesn't just reside in our heart -- it is our heart," says Farhaj Hassan
- "Chicagoland" airs Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on CNN
Dear Chicago,
You sure aren't perfect.
Numerous city aldermen and officials have been brought down by corruption charges. Your schools are failing. You have a high rate of gun violence, which has cast shadows upon your reputation.
Despite the long list of wrongs, there are a lot of things you do right.
Lifelong Chicagoans and loving visitors are consistently complimentary of you. We say this without shame: Chicago, we love you, imperfections and all.
You are 77 official neighborhoods, according to the mayor's office. But more than 200 "pocket" neighborhoods make up your anatomy.
Your people ride through your bloodstream on the L, where we can see your distinct personalities in each lively neighborhood. Concert venues and Al Capone's favorite hangout, the Green Mill, beam as we zoom through Uptown. The Garfield Park Conservatory emanates natural beauty on the West Side. And lessons from the past fill our minds as we near the DuSable Museum of African American History in Washington Park.
"Chicago is the world in one place. It's being able to get tacos in Little Village one day for lunch and tzatziki in Greek Town the next," says 21-year-old student Reynaldo Leal. Persian, Polish or Puerto Rican, you've got the world covered.
Your citizens make you who you are, with people from across the globe calling you home. Some stay put in their ethnic enclaves, speaking their native tongues, while others are curious neighborhood hoppers who seek authentic food and culture.
Chicago. Just saying your name is enough to conjure fond memories for Amanda Fallico. She can imagine riding down Lake Shore Drive on a warm summer evening.
Summer is when our love for you crescendos. You are at your peak of liveliness.
Tight-knit families watching movies in the park, children playing games at North Avenue Beach and couples strolling along the magnificent lakefront are some of the things that bring you to life come summer.
"Chicago's parks are the settings for (a) world-class collection of sculptures, and the people of Chicago are lucky enough to have them in their backyard," says Matt Kochar.
But even in the winter, for any of us who brave the never-ending snowfall and brutal, subzero wind chills, you are truly a beauty.
When the tourists are too scared to come outside, it's us locals who get the rare treat of staring into Cloud Gate (affectionately known as "the Bean") all alone. Zahava Hanuka witnessed your quiet side during a moment just like this.
While the Bean, Chicago Picasso and Alexander Calder's Flamingo are all figures of beauty, your buildings and stunning skyscrapers are architectural marvels in themselves. Whether we're lost in the past of the historic Rookery building or meandering through the urban canyons beneath the futuresque Trump Tower, your architecture tells us the story of your life.
Sometimes, you talk to us through your buildings. When the Blackhawks made the playoffs last year, skyscrapers lit up with words of encouragement. The same treatment goes for the Bears, Bulls, Sox and well, someday the Cubs. (Here's to hoping someone breaks the Curse of the Billy Goat soon!)
Your cheering buildings prove you're a big city that doesn't take yourself too seriously. As Swathi Sridhara puts it, "Chicagoans have a unique blend of small-town Midwest charm and a gritty city work ethic."
And if your gleaming towers and your potholed streets are your skeleton, then your heart lies in your people.
Farhaj Hassan, who moved away as a child, said it well: "Chicago doesn't just reside in our heart -- it is our heart. Chicago is us, we of Chicago are Chicago."
Chicago, no matter what anyone says, we will always be proud to call you home.
Chicagoans everywhere

Managed File Transfer 101: What's in it for Me?
Posted on Jul 08, 2014 | Categories: Managed File Transfer|
The term MFT (Managed File Transfer) is not new but you may be hearing it more frequently. Changes in data security and transmission regulations have brought this established technology to the forefront, but what exactly does it entail? Linoma Software recently hosted "Managed File Transfer 101", a webinar to present the essentials of MFT and what you should look for when researching an MFT solution for your organization.
Current State of File Transfer
In the presentation, Bob Luebbe, chief architect of Linoma Software, talked about the existing challenges of file transfer:
- Old technology - such as Standard FTP - is still in use despite limitations and risks posed by data "sent in the clear".
- Time consuming manual processes that might include the use of PC tools. Scripts are also a legacy of old processes that continue to saddle IT departments. Programmers create and maintain these scripts - often hundreds or thousands - to automate transfers.
- File access is often too decentralized, making it difficult to control and manage. Compliance has become more stringent in data management.
- Lack of notifications critical to insure successful data movement, rather than waiting for a partner to notice missing or incomplete transfers. Traditional logs can be helpful but are also hard to find and filter for adequate audit trails. The big issue is meeting data privacy regulations (e.g., PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA and SOX) without centralized logs.
- Employees are still sending files unchecked. Without a simple and secure alternative, employees find their own solutions for file portability to maintain productivity.
This final point often involves employees storing sensitive files on their PCs and laptops, sending documents through email, and utilizing cloud storage providers - like Dropbox - without proper controls in place. If a company doesn't have internal policies in place to address file sharing and transfers, the liability risk can be severe. In a 2013 study by Stroz Friedberg on Information Security in American Business, it was found that 3 out of 4 office workers upload work files to their personal email or cloud account. Of this group, 37% said it was because they prefer using their personal computer while 14% said it's because taking their work laptop home was simply too much effort. The same survey highlighted the role of senior managers in an organization's data risk. Often the worst offenders, 58% admitted to accidently sending sensitive information to the wrong person. Just over half also admitted to taking files with them after leaving a job. While MFT won't put a stop to this practice, a workflow built on the secure storage of sensitive business documents will add transparency to file access activity.
What is Managed File Transfer?
File Transfers, in their basic form, involve the sharing of files with others through FTP, email or a cloud solution. In contrast, Managed File Transfer takes a centralized enterprise-level approach to automating and securing file transfers. This produces a secured, scheduled and trackable file transfer. By creating transparency within your organization, files are tracked and logged as they enter and leave your network. MFT is a smart solution for companies who understand the liability and risk involved in transmitting sensitive data.
- Keep files safe and secure
- Make sure files go where they are needed, when they are needed
- Track files from start to finish for compliance purposes
To see what MFT looks like in a real world example, the team at Linoma would be happy to schedule a live demo of the GoAnywhere Suite. You can also click here to view the entire webinar for free. Discover how simple and affordable it can be to utilize an MFT solution in your organization.

How To Encrypt DNS Traffic In Linux Using DNSCrypt
Dnscrypt is a protocol that is used to improve DNS security by authenticating communications between a DNS client and a DNS resolver. DNSCrypt prevents DNS spoofing. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify that responses originate from the chosen DNS resolver and haven't been tampered with. DNSCrypt is available for multi-platforms including Windows, MacOS, Unix, Android, iOS, Linux and even routers.
Debian-Based Untangle 13.0 Linux Firewall Tackles Bufferbloat, Adds New Features
Untangle NG Firewall, the open-source and powerful Debian-based network security platform featuring pluggable modules for network apps, has been updated to version 13.0, a major release adding new features and numerous improvements. The biggest improvement brought by the Untangle NG Firewall 13.0 release is to the poor latency generated by excess buffering in networking equipment, called bufferbloat, by supporting a queueing algorithm designed to optimize QoS and bandwidth to enforce a controlled delay.

ROSA Fresh R9
ROSA is a desktop distribution that was originally forked from Mandriva Linux, but now is independently developed. While the company which produces ROSA is based in Russia, the distribution includes complete translations for multiple languages. The ROSA desktop distribution is designed to be easy to use and includes a range of popular applications and multimedia support. ROSA R9 is available in two editions, one featuring the KDE 4 desktop and the second featuring the KDE Plasma 5 desktop. These editions are scheduled to receive four years of support and security updates. I decided to download the Plasma edition of ROSA R9 and found the installation media to be approximately 2GB in size. Booting from the ROSA disc brings up a menu asking if we would like to load the distribution's live desktop environment or begin the installation process. Taking the live option brings up a graphical wizard that asks us a few questions. We are asked to select our preferred language from a list and accept the project's warranty and license. We are then asked to select our time zone and keyboard layout from lists. With these steps completed, the wizard disappears and the Plasma 5.9 desktop loads.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

Basic Collar
- Cut webbing to length indicated in chart for the size collar being made.
- Add ½" to length of webbing measurement; cut ribbon to length.
- Carefully melt short ends of webbing with lighter to prevent fraying.
- Turn under ¼" on short ends of ribbon; press.
- Lay webbing right side up; lay ribbon right side up over webbing; pin in place.
- Topstitch ribbon to webbing 1/8" inside edges of ribbon.
- See photo below to identify buckle parts to assist in threading on collar:
- When topstitching buckles to collar, sew over top of first stitching 2-3 times for strength.
- Lay collar wrong side up on work surface.
- Thread the right end of the collar over the right end of the "sliplock" buckle, over the middle leg to a length of 1". Topstitch end ¼" from edge of collar.
- Thread the left end of the collar up through the bottom, over the middle leg and out the opposite end of the male end of the side release buckle.
- Continue pulling collar though, threading it through the "sliplock" buckle, going over the top of the middle leg and previously stitched end, pulling it out at the opposite end.

text: The coldest morning of the winter, zero degrees and windchill of -15, just finished insulating the last of my hives yesterday, yes I procrastinated. Even after 40 years with bees I am still amazed at how they can survive being out in that kind of cold for days and days and not freeze up solid. That little bit of 2" foam board I put on them does more to make me feel better than them I believe. John

My partner in (culinary) crime- the infamous and ever-up-for-baking husband Steve- informed me our bananas were mucho ripe. In fact, to be completely accurate, he poked his head into my cozy little studio the other day and declared, Our bananas are ripe. I should bake something.
I looked up from my iMac and murmured Hmmm, in assent.
But what, exactly?
Ripe bananas were calling. Begging to be a part of some grander life affirming tastebud tingling scheme. But do readers really need another banana cake recipe? I pondered, slurping cold coffee with vanilla hemp milk. Which reminds me. I should share this.
An impromptu hemp milk review
I am happy to report to you dairy-free beauties out there, there is a brand new fortified hemp milk on the moo cow alternative scene, and it is gluten-free, dairy-free, rice and soy-free- making a certain humble and finicky GF/CF visual associative thinker just plain stoked. Why?
Two issues. Well, aside from the whole, Why do they have to put soy, pea or nut protein in every dairy-free concoction? Tough on those who are not only gluten-free and casein-free but allergic to legumes- including soy- and nuts.
First issue. Color.
Dude. I won't name names, but (okay, it's Hemp Bliss). I cannot tell you how unappetizing your grayish BROWN hemp milk is. And second issue- not only is it icky blah beige, it separates in my coffee and tea into a swirling galaxy of unctuous globules and curdled droplets of heinousness.
To be fair? I do so appreciate it that you sweeten it with organic cane sugar and not brown rice syrup, but. Can't you make it a little more homogenous? Because, um.
Someone else has.
I was browsing non-dairy beverages last week in Santa Fe (ever the optimist, I am always on the look-out for a new milk alternative that doesn't, well, suck) and I spied a new kid on the block. Maybe it was the tie-dyed design that spoke to me, but I felt a kinship immediately. Then I read the label. Free of gluten, no casein. I bought only one- vanilla- not because I didn't have faith, but. After all, I am realistic (well, most of the time).
The new hemp milk is called Hemp Dream- and by the way, in case you were questioning if this review was coerced, or in any other way possible might not be 100% unbiased- apart from the native bias of my own distinctive taste buds- in the spirit of full disclosure, I swear, as a gluten-free goddess, and hereby declare I was not contacted by said company or approached or compensated in any way. This is me, buying a carton of Hemp Dream. On impulse. And reporting to you.
Of course, you might not want to take my word for it.
You should do your own hemp milk taste test. And the swirling globs in hot coffee test. But for my palate- I'm so happy with the new Hemp Dream I could cry. Well, maybe not cry. I'm usually not that dramatic.
Karina's edit: Time passes. Fast forward to Santa Monica, 2010. Back to the future, here I am buying a new hemp milk to try- and it's darn tasty, too! Pacific Natural Foods Vanilla Hemp Milk is very vanilla-y and quite good.
And as for the fragrant bananas?
We tossed together a blueberry muffin style banana coffee cake. And it is, shall we say, a keeper.
Recipe posted January 2009.
Karina's Banana-Blueberry Muffin Cake Recipe
It's almost a pound cake, this cake. And kinda like a blueberry muffin textured coffee cake. Best of all it is moist and so darn tasty you won't believe it's vegan and gluten-free. I'm serious. A perfect cake for your GFCF angel. Or brunch with friends.
3 medium ripe organic bananas, mashed into puree (1 liquid cup)
Ener-G Egg Replacer for 3 eggs- whisked with hot water till frothy (or use 3 eggs)
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon organic raw agave nectar or honey
1/2 cup light olive oil or organic coconut oil
1 1/3 cups organic light brown sugar
1 cup GF buckwheat flour (or mix of GF oat, millet or brown rice flour)
1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup potato starch (not flour) or tapioca starch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
2 teaspoons fine grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 heaping cup organic wild blueberries
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a Bundt® cake pan by rubbing a little oil in it.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the wet ingredients- bananas through oil. Whisk together the dry ingredients (flours through spices) and add them to the wet.
Beat till smooth and sticky. Add in the blueberries by hand.
Scoop the batter into the prepared Bundt® cake pan and smooth evenly. Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes (mine took a full 50 minutes) until the cake is firm but gives slightly to a gentle touch; test with a cake tester if you like. If you use a smaller pan, it may take longer to bake through the middle.
Cool on a wire rack. When the cake is cooled place a serving plate on top of the pan and invert the pan to release the cake onto the plate.
Serves 12-16.

Karina's Notes:
Though I usually report that vegan and gluten-free cakes are best eaten the day they are baked, we did something different with this recipe.
When the cake was cooled and released from the pan I wrapped it tightly and stored it in the refrigerator overnight- as an experiment. The next morning it was moist and delicious and sliced up beautifully. So you could definitely make this cake ahead of time for company the next day- and it will be delicious.
I've also made this cake using Ener-G Egg Replacer for 3 eggs, whisked with Hemp Dream- vanilla. Hemp milk adds moisture to the batter, so if you need a moisture boost, try hemp milk.
As for the bananas- some readers report back with problems in banana cake recipes- and it boils down to the size of the bananas (larger bananas will make more liquid). I used three medium bananas. If your bananas are large, you might try using two.
This kid-friendly cake is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, nut-free.
And yes, I bet this recipe would also make for some tender cupcakes-muffins. They'd probably bake up in about 18-20 minutes or so.
One last tidbit:
For readers looking for an excellent resource on dairy-free living- have you checked out the new cookbook and reference guide to cooking and baking without dairy titled Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook for Milk Allergies, Lactose Intolerance, and Casein-Free Living?
It's chock full of valuable information and recipes- especially for those new to living without milk casein, whey and lactose. The author is Alisa Fleming; her website is Go Dairy Free.

Yes it's true, once again I have fallen victim to the deadly* infectious disease, Man Flu. IT HAS BEEN DREADFUL! and one of the main reasons why it has taken me so long to write a new post.

Get the Wolves newsletter
10:08 5th February 2014
by Alexandre Eustache-Denis
Young striker enjoying life at Wolves
Ibrahim Keita is currently enjoying another impressive season as he continues to develop and improve at Wolves having first arrived in the Academy from France. The 18-year-old has not only continued to score goals in the Under-18 league, he has also continued to gain plenty of experience at Under-21 level as well as twice being an unused substitute for the first team. His English is also coming along very nicely, but we recently took advantage of a visit from French sports marketing student Alexandre Eustache-Denis to put Ibrahim under the microscope for a quickfire Q&A. Take it away gents......
*Hello Ibrahim. Could you explain to us your footballing background and how you came to be at Wolves?
I come from Vermont a small city in Normandie (North of France), where I started playing football when I was seven years old. After I improved and I made it in a bigger local club - St-Marcel - and after that I went to Evreux. It was there that I started the high level football because I played in the Honors Division. It's also there that I met my agent, and it was him who presented me to Wolverhampton. I came over for a one week trial with training and games and Wolves were convinced of my potential. I have now been here for three years.
*Why did you choose England?
I liked this country immediately. It was particularly the environment in general when my agent brought me here. After the trial week I wanted to return here as quickly as possible. And now I've been living here, with my host family, since my arrival. After training I follow coaching studies, and I'm currently trying to get my driving license. I like the people here, so I'm happy here. But I'm still in contact with my family and my friends in France!
*How has it gone for you this season?
I started the season with the Under 18 team which is my category (I'm just eighteen!) but then I have also started to play with the Under 21s as well. It is worth remembering that Wolves is very famous for its Academy. It is strong, one of the best in England, and many players have gone from the Academy to play in the Premier League. Currently, I've scored 11 times during this season. And I'm glad because this year, I have managed to be involved a bit more with the first team, and have been on the substitutes bench. With these first experiences, I'll be able to understand the pressure when you play such games, even if I was only a reserve. And I also get some advice from players like Nouha Dicko, Bakary Sako and also from all the staff in general, and it allows me to grow.
*Do you play with the French team ?
I have played with the Under-16 team against Italy but since then I haven't featured at national level. I would like to if I can get another chance.
*What are the advantages and disavantadges in this job?
The most important is you do the thing you love the most. And that you have a chance to play football all the time, it's the best thing. That can sometimes be a disadvantage too because it has to be everything that you do, training every day and resting afterwards. Because of that I don't have a lot of time to myself but I don't mind because football is my big ambition.
*How do you feel at the moment about the future?
I still feel great, and really enjoy being at Wolves. And I really hope to maybe play next year with the first team!

Public organizations must continually prove they are worthy of social trust. Housing associations, educational and healthcare institutions, charitable organizations and other (semi-) public institutions must meet increasing social expectations of a broad group of stakeholders. The success of organizations is increasingly dependent in how they embed their social objectives and core values in their culture. A culture is valuable not only in a well-articulated mission, but also in the behaviour of managers and employees.
In practice, there is often a gap between desired and actual culture. Supervisors have a responsibility and role to close this gap. They are capable management in this area a mirror to their distance from the daily routine.
PwC interviewed 36 members of supervisory boards across the full width of the public sector for their views on culture and behaviour, their experiences in practice and the dilemmas they encounter.
The publication is a separate card which includes the ten key questions that supervisors can draw on culture and behaviour. On the other side of the card ten indicators for culture and behaviour.

My name is Matt, i'm part of the 501st under the same name, TC_1538, proud Commander Bly. I think alot of members would recognise me from clonetroopers.net on here, i've seen a few infamous names already .
I just would like to drop by and introduce myself, and say that i am embarking on my long dreamed version of what i think mandalorian Royalty/ Nobility would look like. ill post pics and update as i can, the first thing being done is converting one of those awsome NERF rifles into my main weapon of choice. also thinking of adding a set of pistols, but most likely not westars, trying to go for something different.
Well, see you around. bye for now

Life Housecompared to this...Oasis Dont Go AwayListen to these two main choruses and you will hear a direct rip off from Oasis that Life House did...Talk about being unoriginal...
___________________________________________ Heaven: where the police are British, the cooks French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian, and it is all organized and run by the Swiss. Hell: where the police are German, the cooks British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, and it is all organized and run by the Italians.
I never liked Lifehouse. I personally think they suck (pretty much a softer version of Nicklecrap). Oasis is probably one of the best modern bands around. Not an Oasis song but it does feature Noel Gallagher:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsRUESq_9S0
=================================No, Brian, it's a foreign car, the "T" is silent. Sweet, I'm getting an Audi!
More blatant ripoffs:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM

I take a day off every now and then.Casey McCall: You take a vacation from doing the right thing?Dan Rydell: Yeah. I don't loot storefronts or anything, but once in a while, when I consider the effort it takes to diligently adhere to a moral compass, I take myself out of the lineup and I rest up for the next game.Casey McCall: I swear, you could run for Congress and win.
I digress. While the beginning of the chourus is similar, the rest of the hook is much different. I personally can't stand the nasally sound of Oasis and the fact that most of their songs sound the same. Wonderwall is their only masterpiece and the rest of their garbage has been forced into our ears. The media would have us to believe that they are the next coming of the Beatles. I personally don't rank Lifehouse as a great band, but they have had two songs that have spent over a year on the charts (Hanging By A Moment 60 weeks and You and Me 55 weeks) Even "Whatever It Takes" spent 24 weeks on the chart. Their music may be Pop Lite, Post Grunge or whatever you may call it, but they know who and what they are. They don't pretend to be the next coming of anything. As many bands stuck in the pop life, they have many songs on their CDs that are very good that don't go to radio.

I found out about Scares That Care a few months ago. I contacted Joe Ripple, the founder, a little over a week ago and he graciously agreed to a telephone interview with me. It is my hope that after you read this you will want to do something to help any or all three of these families. You can help by sending a donation or by simply spreading the word about Scares That Care on the social networks. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the interview.
Joe, can you tell my readers a little bit about the evolution of Scares That Care?
The evolution of Scares That Care came about as a result of my business partner. I'm actually a horror filmmaker myself and for a number of years I was partnered with a gentleman by the name of Don Dohler. During our friendship and our partnership, however, he contracted lung and brain cancer and subsequently passed away as a result of that. At the time, he was the caregiver for his mentally challenged 53 year-old sister, Joy. So I wanted to do something for the family, and with Don being well-liked and respected in the horror community we had a marathon of sorts of his films and a silent auction and we raised quite a bit of money and donated every single cent to the care of Joy just to give the family a hand. On top of that for the last ten years I've been the head of security for the Horrorfind Weekend Convention and I always noticed how kind and generous horror fans were. So the culmination of those two things led me down the path to eventually create Scares That Care.
So from the 'About' page on the Scares That Care site it says that you were a former police officer and a film director. So you're saying that those two things kind of came together to help with the formation of Scares That Care. Is that correct?
Well, it came together only in the sense that I was afforded the opportunity to become the director of security for the Horrorfind Weekend Convention. Had I not been able to do that I probably wouldn't have seen from my own eyes how really cool and really kind and generous that horror fans were. So it's kind of like a perfect storm, as it were; and the families that benefit from the perfect storm are the families that we choose to help.
I don't really think that people who are not fans of horror would expect horror fans to be as generous as you and I know that they can be. I think they just see us as weird and that's it.
We are weird and I'm glad of it because that does separate us from everybody else. The key thing to remember is that we don't judge anybody. We have a saying at Scares That Care that we don't care what your religious beliefs are or if you even have any; we don't care who you choose to love, we don't care what the color of your skin is. We only have two requirements; the first requirement is that you love horror movies and the second is that you want to help people.
The first time I heard about Scares That Care was through Kane Hodder's website. Other than Kane are there any other celebrities that have pitched in to help with Scares That Care?
Well, what you have to remember is that I've been working this charity since 2006. We just got our 501(c) (3) in 2011. The 501(c) (3) is the IRS designation that proves that we've been through that process and been verified by the IRS that we are a legitimate charity. You know, that people can get those tax deductions from if they donate to us. With that and with being around the horror conventions and things like that many of the celebrities now know who I am, and they've at least heard about Scares That Care. So we've often had celebrities who have once they've seen me and have never heard of it that once we explain it to them and they're automatically offering up some autograph pictures that we can then auction off to raise money for the cause. Kane is the only one that we've actually partnered with; but two years ago Bruce Campbell himself did a live auction to help raise money for Scares That Care at the Horrorfind Weekend Convention and that was really cool.
Who benefits from Scares That Care? What is your selection process?
When I first started the charity one of the things I wanted to do was to establish a track record of credibility. We've raised $10,000 each for the Johns Hopkins Children's Cancer Center, the Kennedy Krieger Institute, which is a hospital in the Baltimore, Maryland area that helps kids with brain and spinal cord injuries; kids with autism and Down's syndrome that hospital helps them to get acclimated to society. Then we raised $10,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation because we wanted to establish a track record with Scares That Care to show we do give back, that horror fans do give back to the community and those three organizations are pretty well known organizations. So when somebody says 'John Hopkins Children's Cancer Center' they'll go 'Oh I know exactly who you're talking about.' However since we got our 501(c) (3) it's doesn't make sense to me to raise the money and give it to another 501(c) (3) organization for them to distribute. So what we've done this year is that we've actually went out and found three families. Being a former police detective and police officer there are some questions that you have to go through and sometimes you have to ask hard questions because we need to make sure that if horror fans are donating to this charity that the money is going to go and be used for what the intent of the donation is to be used for, if that makes sense. So in other words we need to make sure that the money is going to go to actually help. Sometimes that's difficult but they are questions that have to be asked. You know a lot of times now we're starting to get people that are contacting me directly and asking for donations. It's hard because you want to help; but recognizing the fact that if we actually help them it would take away from the families that we're working for. So we basically have to establish a waiting list, as it were, so that we can form a game plan to help other people as needed.
Okay. I was looking at the Scares website a little while ago and the latest thing that you have up there is concerning the house fire involving Delmer McNeil and his 6 year-old son Tripp. I understand that Delmer did in fact pass away from his injuries.
That's what I'm hearing as well, yes.
Can you give a little more detail about what happened so that my readers can be made more aware of the circumstances?
Well, it's a situation where I'm getting this information third-hand. One of the things that we needed to do to satisfy the agreement between Kane Hodder and us was to locate a young man or young woman that's been severely burned. So, I heard about it. It's a friend of the family who gave me the information. I do know where Tripp is currently staying in the hospital. I believe its Shriners Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. Other than that I do know for a fact that the house completely burned all the way down to the foundation and that the family lost absolutely everything. While Tripp's father, Delmer McNeil was in the hospital he got very, very sick and they ended up having to amputate both of his arms at the elbow; and then shortly after that he did pass away. The last I heard Tripp was going through skin grafts and he was telling his mother that he wanted to go home. So once we do find out where he lives we're going to making a trip with a check for $10,000.
The thing about me is that if I don't know something I'm going to be the first one to step up and say 'I don't know.' I think that if you try to BS horror fans they're going to pick up on it right away and you're going to lose all credibility.
Exactly. Now what would a horror fan or fans or anyone else for that matter need to do if they wanted to help with Tripp and his situation?
Basically, they can do a couple of things. They can send a donation via PayPal. The address is email@example.com. If they can't remember the address we have a PayPal button right there on our website; and all they have to do is just say that they would like their donation to go to Tripp. If they don't have PayPal they can call directly with a credit card and I can take a credit card donation over the phone. I do it that way because I want people speaking directly to me. I don't write anything down. I use Intuit on the computer to type in all the information and then after that it's done and they get a receipt for their donation.
A lot of times what we have to access as a charity is what is the greatest need of the three families that we're trying to help? Now all three families are going to wind up getting a donation from us this year of $10,000. It's just a matter of is it Draven? Is it Maddy who's fighting breast cancer? Or is it Tripp who basically lost everything? He lost his father, lost his house, the whole nine yards. So I'm proud to say that hopefully that by the end of March, beginning of April we will have raised our first $10,000. Then we will make an effort to track Tripp down and provide his family with that relief.
That's fantastic. Can you tell a little more about Maddy and Draven?
Draven was born with a congenital heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Basically what that means is that everybody knows that your heart has four chambers; the right side and the left side. Basically the left side of his heart never developed. So he only has the two chambers which are on the right side of his heart that are actually functioning. He's on a transplant list and he does need a heart transplant. If he doesn't get his heart transplant the outlook is not very good. This disease he has is extremely serious and he is on the waiting list for a new heart. Unfortunately with him being a small child it's going to have to come at a loss to another family. We recognize that and we realize that it's a situation that we need to focus on Draven and that we need to take care of Draven to the best of our ability.
Maddy has been fighting breast cancer for a number of years and it has actually caused some degenerative loss in some nerves and she's in constant pain as a result of that. You know, all three of these families are basically going through hell. It's just a matter of people can always sit back and say 'Well there's nothing we can do' or 'Here, I'll just send them ten bucks.' I don't think that way. I think that it's incumbent upon myself to stand up and physically do something in order to put my foot down and say 'No, you know what? Something more has got to be done.' With that we've actually expanded Scares That Care to encompass what we call state representatives. These state representatives are all volunteers and we now have 39 state representatives in 26 states across the country and more are being added monthly. It's important that we do that because eventually what I want to do is I want to take Scares That Care and instead of helping three families across the country each year I want to help three families in each state each year. That's what I want to do. Will I ever get there? I hope so. I believe that it's possible, but I think that we can only do it with a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication and a lot of help from our volunteers and from horror fans all around the world.
Do you set up booths at the horror film conventions for the Scares That Care organization?
Yes we do. Last year we attended three horror conventions. We attended the Horrorfind Weekend Convention, we attended the National Horrors Convention and we attended the Horror Realm Convention in Pittsburgh. Since we got our 501(c) (3) and since we got the state representatives on board and department heads we're now attending 28 conventions across the country this year. We are really trying to insure that everybody knows we're here. The economy's tough, I get that. It's just as important for me to have somebody that say's to me 'Hey Joe, I can't help you out this month. Moneys tight, But what can I do?' My message is if you see us post something up, just share it on Facebook or whatever. Let your friends know about us. Things like that.
People walk up and they donate thirty dollars. My assessment of that thirty dollars is this: a person who comes up to us and writes a check and gives us a check for $3000.00 can afford to write that check. A person who comes up to us and gives us twenty bucks, thirty bucks probably can't afford to give us that money. But they're doing it because they have a good heart. So to me that twenty or thirty dollars is just as important as that $3000.00 check and probably even more so because it's not every day where you see multi-millionaires who are big, huge horror fans. If they are I hope they hear about us soon because we could use their help. But we really just appreciate anything anybody can do for us to help either spread the word or to help the families.
Joe, is there anything that you want to say to my readers about Scares That Care?
The only thing I'll say is that while all charities are good; I believe that all charities do some good. It's incumbent upon your readers to know that Scares That Care does not have any salaries and that we don't give out any paychecks. One hundred per cent of the money that comes in goes to the families that we're trying to support. So there's a lot of stuff in the news these days about how much CEO's are being paid out of charities and things like that. I still have a full time day job. I do the charity in my spare time as best I can. I want this to be a charity that not only horror fans but people in general can be proud of and say 'I support this charity because I know that my money is going to go to one of those three families.'
The ones that you said donate the twenty dollars or the thirty dollars even though they don't have it I can completely understand. My wife and I are on a fairly tight budget. This interview is my way of getting people aware of Scares That Care and to be able to help in one way or another.
Do you mainly focus on children with diseases or do you plan to expand to children who have been molested or abused or suffered other such cruelties?
Well, here's my thought on that and that's a very good question and it has been asked of us quite a bit. When you diversify the charity into too many different areas of assistance basically what happens is that it thins out the amount of donations that are coming in to you. For example; if we chose child abuse or if we chose three or four other things to help with it would actually take us longer to reach our goals and by doing that all of the families would then suffer. So what you have to take into consideration is that there are other programs out there that can help. I just have a very strong affinity for wanting to help sick kids. I've seen a number of sick kids and was actually the pallbearer for my partner in the police department who had lost his four year-old daughter. So I was a pallbearer for her and that was something that struck me very, very deeply. So when we initially came up with Scares That Care it was specifically designed to help sick kids and those kids being seriously or terminally ill to be able to help the families with the financial burdens that they're facing with that type of disease or illness.
When Kane contacted us that was a stipulation from Kane's camp that we needed to create a separate fund for the burn victims; and then you can't watch any horror film from the 1980's forward where there's not at least some topless nudity in the horror film. So I wanted to be able to pay back to those women who as a result of having to do the topless nudity by being able to assist them with the breast cancer as well.
It's been a struggle trying to fund all three of those programs. So I don't foresee us right now branching off. However, I'm not ruling it out. Because as the charity grows and we get more funds we may be able to locate a children's home that supports kids that have been abused or suffered some other similar injury and maybe we can just walk in and make a flat out donation right to that house. So it's something that we're not ruling out. It's just something that from the standpoint of it being a business that we want to be able to fulfill those goals to those families that we selected. So we can't spread ourselves too thin as it were trying to help too many different causes. Does that make sense?
Yes, it does. I don't how many people are aware of why Kane Hodder is so supportive of children that have been badly burned; but he was in an accident as a stuntman that burned a large portion of his body.
Yeah, he was burned on 40% of his body.
So I can understand why he would want to help. Also, everything I have heard about him is that he is just one of the nicest people and has one of the biggest hearts. I was on his website and I was reading stories about him and he sounds like just a gentle giant of a man.
I don't know if you've read his book, but it talks about how he was bullied as a child and everything like that. You know what the sad part of it is? They contacted different burn units all around the country and I was told by Mike Aloisi, the writer, that they wanted to partner with Kane and once they found out who he was and what he did, (Jason Voorhees, Friday the 13th), they didn't want to work with him anymore.
That is completely ridiculous.
It's completely ridiculous, but I'm glad they said no because that basically opened the door for Kane to work with Scares That Care. That's a mother thing that I'm really trying to do with this charity, John, is that I'm trying to show the world that just because we like the things that go bump in the night doesn't mean that we care any less about sick kids or when they're going through these issues. That in fact we probably care more; because we can separate the difference between what we see on the screen and what we know is true in real life.
Great. Joe, I really appreciate you taking the time for this interview.
Thank you, John
You're welcome. Thank you.

Labor senator Trish Crossin says she plans to renominate for preselection despite Prime Minister Julia Gillard endorsing indigenous Olympian Nova Peris to replace her.
The ALP national executive followed Ms Gillard's lead on Wednesday afternoon and accepted Ms Peris as a member of the party's Northern Territory branch.
ALP national secretary George Wright announced a preselection ballot would be held on January 29 "should this be required".
"Members of the ALP national executive unanimously resolved to admit Nova Peris as a member of the NT branch and credential Nova to stand for preselection for the first position on Labor's Senate ticket in the Northern Territory," Mr Wright said in a statement.
Nominations for the position will remain open until 5pm (Darwin time) on January 28.
Mr Wright confirmed that the 20 voting members of the national executive will have the final say on who will be Labor's Senate candidate for the Northern Territory.
Mr Wright said that the national executive would consider Senator Crossin and other applications if they were made, but he confirmed that no one from Labor's Northern Territory branch would be allowed to vote.
Speaking in Melbourne earlier on Wednesday, Senator Crossin challenged the ALP national executive to put Ms Peris' name on a party ballot.
She said her immediate focus was to get members a ballot - which she would nominate for - and she encouraged people not to resign from the party in protest at her treatment.
"There is always a point to join the ALP. I would encourage people to be part of the Labor Party. I have encouraged people to not resign over this," Senator Crossin said.
"The Labor cause is something that is bigger and broader than this.''
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has said she expects people to be unhappy about her decision to replace Senator Crossin, but insists that it had nothing to do with Senator Crossin's support for Kevin Rudd.
On Tuesday, Ms Gillard announced that she was endorsing Ms Peris for the top Labor spot on the NT Senate ticket in the upcoming federal election.
The move has angered Senator Crossin, who said she was only told about the move on Monday night and that neither she, nor the NT branch of the ALP were consulted.
But the Prime Minister said she expected that her decision would be ''controversial amongst some.''
''I expected that there would be people who weren't happy with my decision,'' Ms Gillard told ABC Radio on Wednesday.
The move to install Ms Peris has also angered other Labor MPs – such as Labor Left Senator Doug Cameron, a friend of Senator Crossin's.
Senator Cameron has described Ms Gillard's intervention into the preselection process as a ''pretty brutal exercise of political power''.
''I think simply a night of the long knives against a Senator who has, you know, given the party a long-term commitment, a very effective commitment, is not a good message,'' he told ABC Radio.
Another Labor MP, who did not want to be named, called the decision a ''thought bubble'' that gave the parliamentary Labor Party the whiff of the NSW Labor Party, which was notorious for using the NC40 rule to overrule the wishes of local branches to install the candidate preferred by head office.
''I don't recall the knocking off of a sitting member for something like this ever,'' the MP said.
''It's a disturbing precedent . . . To go out on a limb like this is amazing.''
Sittings members could not assume they would automatically gain preselection, the MP said, but they had the right to defend themselves at a ballot.
The MP said although supporters of Mr Rudd were angry at the decision it was unlikely to lead to any resurrection of leadership instability.
Ms Gillard stood by her decision on Wednesday, saying there were always ''tough decisions''.
''It's a leadership decision,'' she said.
When asked if the treatment of Senator Crossin had anything to do with the fact that NT Senator had been a supporter of former prime minister Kevin Rudd, Ms Gillard said: ''All of that is completely irrelevant.''
Senior frontbencher and former Labor leader Simon Crean backed the Prime Minister on Wednesday morning, saying that ''in the end it's the outcome that's important''.
''You're never going to satisfy everyone,'' he told Sky News.
Mr Crean said that even though the rank-and-file process was important, the preselection process was ''not always perfect''.
''We haven't been able to preselect an indigenous woman, let alone an indigenous candidate.''
Ms Peris also defended the Prime Minister's call.
''I think with the Prime Minister yesterday, I think she's handled it the way that she saw – the best way to do it,'' she told Channel Seven.
''I can't really get involved in the nuts and bolts of the party process but if you look at the Northern Territory, Labor lost its last election . . . there was lack of representation from Aboriginal women in the NT.''
Former NT deputy chief minister, Marion Scrymgour, who was Australia's first indigenous female minister, had put her hand up to run against Senator Crossin in ALP's NT Senate battle.
Ms Scrymgour told ABC Radio, Ms Gillard had phoned her before the Peris announcement, letting her know the race was over.
''I think people are cranky. It just robs the territory of the right to have a say,'' she said.

We were again woken, this time at 8.30am by the neighbours (the shift worker reckoned we have to get our body clocks to local time!!) Air New Zealand has a lot to answer for.
Off to Downtown Disney, a 10 walk from the hotel. A few boutique style clothing and fashion shops, Bearville (where you can make your own teddybear), ESPN shop, Ridemakersz (make your own remote control car), Rainforest Caf� with attached jungle themed products shop
Had planned on a couple of hours there but five hours later we ambled back with a taste of the wonderland that is Disney, and an armful of parcels.
Was a little overcast when we left this morning but sun was out by the time we got back so kids went for a swim for an hour before getting ready for Medieval Times dinner and show.
We took the scenic route (apparently the GPS was at fault!!) but eventually arrived at the arena and were placed in the green corner to support the green Knight in the jousting tournament. We thought the kids would love it and they did. Clapping and cheering each time out knight did anything or went past our corner, while drinking our soup out of the bowl and eating our half chicken, couple of potato wedges and a spare rib with our fingers – knives and forks weren't an option, no wonder the kids loved it!! The best part was our knight was the victor, not that we are competitive!!
When we left the venue, parked outside was a nine metre limo (yes the quantity surveyor amongst us stepped it out!!). The driver was waiting outside and he opened it up for us to have a look in. Seats 20 people, background neon lighting very cool. Next trip we need another couple of families so we can justify upgrading the 'A Team' van.
Home for a swim and team meeting in the spa where we watched the Disneyland fireworks. Serious shopping day tomorrow.

CELEBRATING BRITAIN'S GLORIOUS PAST! - Thursday, 9 September 2010
Take a fascinating look behind the scenes at historic Fort Nelson this weekend (September 11 and 12) as part of the National Heritage Open Days weekend.
Entry is free, although there is a small optional charge for some activities, and visitors can enjoy guided tours of Fort areas not normally open to the public and witness the power and might of gun firings by uniformed soldiers of the Portsdown Artillery Volunteers.
Heritage Weekend highlights include special tours of the original Victorian officers' mess and anteroom, as well as the usually closed west tunnel.
A further attraction will be a gallery tour by the Fort Nelson curatorial team, providing a fascinating insight into some of the highlights of the Royal Armouries' collection of historic cannon.
Organised by the Royal Armouries – Britain's oldest museum – the event is suitable for all the family.
Built in the 1860s, Fort Nelson houses the national collection of historic cannon and big guns. The museum has one of the world's finest collections, with over 350 cannon dating back over 600 years. The collection originated from HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.
Fort Nelson is one of the famous Palmerston Forts, built by the Prime Minister of that name during the mid-Victorian period, in response to a feared invasion by France.
Locals often joke the Fort's designers planned the forts the wrong way round, as the forts' defences faced inland – and not towards Portsmouth Harbour! In fact, Fort Nelson was built to protect the area from landward attack and the huge and imposing structure is "hidden" if approached from the north. This made the forts much more difficult to hit with gunfire and protected the men and the guns defending Portsdown Hill.
In reality, Fort Nelson had to wait 80 years before it saw enemy attack – and then it was by aerial bombardment during the Battle of Britain and Hitler's blitz on Portsmouth, when Fort Nelson served as a key part of the South's anti-aircraft defences.
Open throughout the year, the museum has a whole range of attractions, designed to appeal to young and old alike, including secret underground tunnels and chambers to explore.
The fort's Powderkeg Café is open seven days a week offering a range of snacks and refreshments.

text: I just ordered two of the 10 dollar m70 barrels from cfs. i read on a 7.62x25 conversion thread that you could ream out the existing chamber and plug it with a peice of roundstock and chamber this plug to whatever caliber you like. I know ak barrels are .311 and 7.62 ammo is .308 but im just building a plinker and accuracy isnt too important. so there would be some space between where the chamber ends and the rifling begins...is this a potential problem? should this short smoothbore area be .311 diameter? any advice is appreciated

FTC settlement avoided 'prohibitive' court fees, Fowlerville Ford says
Fowlerville Ford said today it agreed to a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over allegedly deceptive ads because "the cost of appealing" the FTC's conclusions "would have been prohibitive."
The dealership also gave details on two marketing actions that drew FTC scrutiny, saying "no regulations had been published" regarding the point of contention in one, and that it cooperated with the FTC fully on the other.
"Fowlerville Ford has prided itself on maintaining the highest possible standards in treating its customers and in complying with all laws and regulations in conducting its business," the dealership said in a statement emailed to Automotive News.
The Fowlerville dealership was one of nine dealerships nationwide that settled with the FTC in a probe of allegedly deceptive advertising related to the sale, financing and leasing of vehicles.
Misleading consumers
Most of the dealerships that settled with the FTC had made, the agency said, several "misrepresentations" in print, Internet and video advertisements that violated the FTC Act, falsely leading consumers to believe they could buy cars for low prices, get low monthly payments through financing or make no upfront payment to lease vehicles.
According to the FTC, Fowlerville Ford violated the FTC Act by sending mailers that deceptively claimed consumers had won a sweepstakes prize when in fact they had not.
The FTC said one dealership sent out 30,000 mailers to consumers, saying they had won prizes they could collect at the dealership. But "not a single consumer, not one," won any prize, said Jessica Rich, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Fowlerville Ford was the only dealership cited for advertising prizes.
Here's Fowlerville Ford's version: Approximately three years ago, Fowlerville Ford said in its statement, the dealership hired an outside marketing firm to run a sales promotion program. The promotion included an opportunity for customers to win a prize, if a ticket matched a certain number. The odds of winning were stated in the program, the dealership statement said.
"The FTC concluded that the disclosure was not specific enough in its opinion even though no regulations had been published defining what kind of disclosure was needed," Fowlerville Ford said.
APR violation
In addition, Fowlerville Ford said, about two years ago, the dealership was approached by a local TV station soliciting advertising. The station promised to film an ad at the dealership and to write the contents of the ad.
About six months ago, a year and a half after the ad had run, the FTC sent the dealership a letter stating the ad was not in technical compliance with one of the many regulations published by the FTC because the ad did not specifically mention the term "annual percentage rate." It had instead used the term "percentage rate."
The FTC requested that Fowlerville Ford not run the ad again and that it use the specific term "annual percentage rate" when referring to a financing rate.
"Fowlerville Ford cooperated fully with the FTC and agreed to use the term 'annual percentage rate' in all of its advertising that mentioned a financing rate," the dealership said.
The dealership added: "To the best of Fowlerville Ford's knowledge, of the hundreds of advertisements it has run during its 12 years of operation, the one the FTC complained about was the only one that was not in technical compliance."
