February 23, 1909 — Berlin, Germany
Ilse, born Ilse Teppich, was the eldest of two daughters born to a Jewish family in the German capital of Berlin. Her father owned a dry cleaning business in the city. When Ilse finished secondary school, she was sent to a finishing school in Switzerland where she studied to be a photographer. In 1931 she married Fritz Silten.
1933-39: In 1933 Ilse gave birth to the couple's only child, a daughter named Gabriele. Five years later, when Fritz's father was forced by the Nazis to sell his business for a fraction of its value to an "Aryan" German [Aryanization], Fritz resolved to move his family out of Berlin. He went to Amsterdam, opened a pharmacy and then sent for Ilse and their daughter. Fritz's mother, Marta, joined them a year later.
1940-44: In May 1940 German troops occupied Amsterdam. Soon after, Ilse's husband was named to the German-appointed Jewish council. The majority of Amsterdam's Jews were herded into a ghetto in the city, but Ilse and her family were allowed to stay in their apartment. In June 1943 the Siltens were sent to the Westerbork transit camp. A month later, rather than be deported, Ilse's mother-in-law committed suicide. In early 1944 Ilse and her family were deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia.
Ilse, Fritz and Gabriele were liberated when Soviet troops took Theresienstadt in May 1945. The Silten family returned to Amsterdam in June of that same year.
Gertrud, born Gertrud Herz, was one of three children born to a Jewish ...

Like taking nothing at all!!!! Worthless for pain!!!!
I might as well have been taking skittles what a waste of time money and production cost. Did absolutely nothing to help my pain. But hey who cares if all the disabled people in the United States are trapped in bed as long as we get to have a reduction in pain medication use right DEA?
I have moderate to severe pain in my joints from arthritis. I have tried several different pain medications but the combination of acetaminophen and tramadol is the best that I have found for me. It is long lasting and there are no side effects from this medication for me. I usually take 1 or 2 tablets once or twice a day as needed for pain.
I can not live with out this medican, When I feel like I can't move & Hurt so bad, It's time for it. I take it 2 at a time,30 mins Later I'm a different person. Some days I need to take 6 Aday. try not to go over 6 ADay.
i have been on ultram and i have been on ultracet for my fybromyalgia pain for about 3 yrs.. My pain rating most mornings when i wake up ,between 1-10 is most of the time a 7 to a 8, i have to usually sit for at least 30 mins. after taking my ultram in order to move around without so much pain ,I am only 28 yrs. old. It is a really good pain killer but is additictive and i have been late before getting my ultram filled and suffered terrriblely, i guess it was withdrawl off not taking some, it was horrible, i recommend that if you take this medication for a very long time then to be careful and don't forget to get it when its do. i thought it would be ok to go without it , no big deal i thought but i definately know it gives you flu like akeing symtoms ,cold sweats and muscles drawing up pain in your legs, so that on top of my everyday pain from the fybromyalgia was awful.
I suffer from terrible tension headaches. No over the counter medication helps relieve the pain for me. For the past two years I have been taking a very low dose (often half of a pill) on an as needed basis for tension headaches. It relieves my headaches quickly and lasts four hours and often all day. The only negative side effect I have noticed is that my hearing is somewhat sensitive after a few hours of taking the pill...nothing not tolerable, but it's definetely a different sensation from anything I've been used to. I would highly recommend this medication to relieve tension headaches and migraines.
I have a severe infection in my lower jaw. This medication is not that great at treating dental pain; it does reduce the pain, making it tolerable, however, you are never pain free. Sleeping is difficult due to pain and the short amount of time this medication lasts (5.5 hrs at the most). It may work well for other types of pain, but not dental pain.
When the pain was worse the Ultracet did help. Would I recommend it- Depend on whether other options had been tried first. Start low and work your way up. That's what I've had to do.
generic availble this has worked for me 2pills 3x day for allmost ayear the cost is high but better than other pills that make you fuzzy headed this is not a cure as when you stop the pills pain returns but is okay as stopgap and lets me work

The 2011 Billboard Music Awards
And here's the rest of The 2011 Billboard Music Awards that doesn't involve Britney Spears
dancing with walking in the same general vicinity as Rihanna, or Justin Bieber dooming Selena Gomez to a life of forever hiding in the shadows or however teens describe not being able to go to the mall these days. Purgatory? Who fucking knows? I honestly don't understand a single thing these kids say anymore. It's all mucus plugs and dilated cervices. In my day, all we had to entertain ourselves was marijuana and Game Boy, and we liked it.

A ROOKIE police officer has been taken to task by his bosses after parking a marked police car in a disabled bay in the centre of Andover – less than 200 yards from the police station car park.
The photo was taken by Andover resident Neil Blackmore, on Sunday afternoon, who originally thought the vehicle parked in the High Street was on an emergency call.
He said: "In my view, even if this is true, there is still no reason to occupy the disabled parking bay bearing in mind it is in a restricted access road and could easily have been parked kerbside.
"I wonder if I got a ticket for doing this in a hospital or doctor's car park, I could use the same excuse and get away with it scot free? I think not.
"There is no excuse for this thoughtless parking unless, of course, the officer in the car is disabled."
An Andover police spokesman said: "The officer is new in service and didn't fully understand the implications.
"He has been given a warning. The officer is sorry for his actions, and this will not happen again.
"He was not dealing with an emergency.
However, he was completing police business but should have found a more appropriate place to park."

A little lake located in Escondido,Ca. Home to the supposed world record bass. Currently operated by the city, it is about the most screwed up political and financially cheap park in the county. Conditions are not safe and overlooked to save money and workers are forced to hide and cover-up much of what is wrong with the lake. For example mostly unheard to the public is the fact that their seems to be a bacteria in the water that kills many fish. Thousands of pounds of dead fish have gone unreported and left the public confused to why the fish fall apart when reeled in. Better yet, is how the lake is a reservoir and supplys most of the city with water. What a great place to take the family.

Topic: dendritic cell therapy
Hello everyone,
My name is Iris and I live in the Netherlands with my husband Peter. Our two adult sons have left home and are doing fine with their jobs and in their own homes. We see them often.
Last year, my allways so sportive and healthy husband Peter (then 61) was diagnosed with Klatskin. Surgery was tried by a very experienced liver specialist, but he broke the operation off because the tumor had gone too far over the liver. A week later Peter left the hospital, in the meantime 10 kilo's lighter and with a life prediction of 2-3 months. A stent was put in via ERCP.
Though he realised how serious his condition was, he didnot put his head down. He started eating to regain his weightloss and a month later went back to work. Another month later he started playing squash again.
To everybody's surprise he is still with me. Having his old weight of 68 kilo's back, still working and doing his sports (every week he runs 5 km's). He bikes to his work every day (10 km's up and 10 km's down).
In September 2007 a second stent was placed via ERCP and he has the occasional high fever attacks. Taking anti-biotics allways brings it down within a few days.
It turns out Peter has a lot of antibodies by nature (he was a plasma ferese-donor during 5 years). And the specialists think that is what is keeping him so well, so long. But of course the timebomb keeps ticking.
Last month, a friend informed us about dendritic cell therapy. And two weeks ago we went to Dr. Gorter in Cologne for a serious talk.
We came back with mixed feelings. We believe this cell therapy has done a couple of wonders for brain tumors, but we can find no evidence that it also has performed a miracle for even one cholangiocarcinoma patient.
Last week I went through this website and was extremely moved by the story of Geoff/Jules. Then I followed Sara C's story. They were the only two that I could find that tried and try this dendritic cell therapy. Geoff didnot make it and reading the latest news from Sara, I also don't see a successful story. Her stent got blocked by the growing tumor.
I realise of course that you can never expect a 100% result, especially not on this nasty cancer. But the therapy costs a lot of money and then no result at all? That's the impression I have now. Am I wrong?
The beginning of June we have a talk with our specialist again (Peter is being controlled every month) and we will also talk about this dendritic cell therapy. After that Peter will make the decision whether to go on or not. In fact he has allready said that he is still doing so well at this moment, that he doesnot want to step into it yet.
From an American cancerforum I got a message that the Australian company Marshall Edwards Inc. is doing tests with a new drug, Triphendio NV-196. As far as I can find out, it is only tested on animals. But it is a drug that is typical for pancreas and cholangio cancer and testresults are promising. For a lot of our loved ones however, this will come on the market too late, I am afraid.
I realise this is quite a long story. I am confused and scared to lose Peter, as you will understand. On the other hand, we had a wonderfull year in which friends and family offered us so much warmth and love. Every day is a little miracle now and we promised each other that we won't become bitter. Our life together was so beautiful that we won't ever spoil that by grieving.
What I am in fact looking for, is one successful story on a cholangio patient having had a successfull dendritic cell treatment. Dr. Gorter is doing this therapy since 8 years! So where is the survivor?
Thank you for listening and I wish everybody all the strength and love they need.

In an interview this afternoon, 1st District Rep. Tim Walz said he supports a compromise proposal to lift the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military contingent on the completion of a U.S. Department of Defense review due Dec. 1.
Walz served in the Army National Guard for 24 years and said he has long supported getting rid of the 1993 "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law.
"I've always thought this was a bad policy. The idea of a young American citizen wanting to serve and being willing to lay down their life in defense of this country and not allowing them to serve over personal and private reasons made no sense to me whatsoever," Walz said.
Under a White House-backed compromise, the U.S. Department of Defense would determine how quickly to implement the repeal once the review is completed. It would also require certification from the president, defense secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the new policy won't hurt the military's ability to fight. The U.S. House is expected to vote on the measure today.
The Mankato Democrat said he supports giving the military time to implement the repeal. He said the military requires reviews of any changes — including a six month review when switching from hats to berets.
On a personal level, he said while serving he dealt with a case of a soldier having to leave the military under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law.
"We lost a very talented soldier," he said.
As a commander, Walz said sexual orientation did not matter to him.
"My biggest concern was that the soldier knew their job, could shoot their weapon and was physically fit and mentally ready to serve. It was never an issue of whether they were at in their personal lives. That is none of my business," he said.

Strasko dominates glass in Central women's basketball win
PELLA— Forward Nicole Strasko (senior, Roland, Roland-Story HS) notched her fifth double-double of the season as the Central College women's basketball team outlasted Buena Vista University 74-61 Monday night.
Strasko had 12 points and a game-high 15 rebounds, her seventh career statistical double-double.
Her play was especially critical down the stretch, according to coach Mike Jacobsma.
"I challenged the players during a time-out to limit (Buena Vista) to one shot and Nicole rose above everybody to get the rebounds," he said. "She did a great job."
The Dutch (9-8 overall, 2-4 Iowa Conference) have endured some challenging shooting nights this season but took command in the first half by hitting 53.1 percent from the floor. Central led by as many as 15 and was up 41-32 at the break.
"In the first half we executed really well," Jacobsma said. "We got good shots and were knocking them down. We had five 3-pointers and those are huge. We were able to go into halftime with a lot of momentum."
Buena Vista (7-10 overall, 0-6 conference) tightened its defense and climbed to within 64-59 with 3:24 left in the game but the Dutch knocked down six straight free throws in an 8-0 run to settle the issue.
"We had some key stops to finish the game," Jacobsma said.
Guard Rachel Evans (sophomore, Fort Dodge) had 12 points to share scoring honors with Strasko. She also passed out six assists.
Freshman Alyssa Henrich (Newell, Newell-Fonda HS), a 5-foot-10 guard, came off the bench to score 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Her minutes and confidence level are rising, Jacobsma said.
"Alyssa came in and knocked down some shots," he said. "And she's so long and athletic that she can defend guards and she can guard post players."
Central shot 47.1 percent for the night to Buena Vista's 37.7 percent and outrebounded the Beavers 41-29. The only number that made Jacobsma wince was turnovers, as the Dutch made 18.
The Dutch continue a hectic week with a trip to Indianola Wednesday to tackle nationally ranked Simpson College. The No. 11 Storm survived a scare at home from Coe College Monday night and improved to 16-1 overall and 6-0 in league play with a 58-56 decision.
It's one of the most daunting assignments on the schedule, but Jacobsma is glad the Dutch will be coming off a win.
"We gained a lot of confidence tonight," he said. "We can go into the game with some momentum."

חוות דעת על מקומות לינה אחרים שמציע/ה מארח/ת זה/זו
In August 2014 my wife and I spent 6 nights in the small appartment in Vlkova Residence.
The location was perfect as we could just walk to the Old Town within 15 minutes!
The appartment was cozy, very clean and comfortable.
Small kichennet was equipped with all items you might need.
The host Simone is really nice and polite. He prepared for us a written information how to get to the main points in the city, where to eat, what to see, etc. The small basket - free welcome pack - with bars and waffers was so sweet.
We can confidently recommend this appartment for nice stay in Prague.
The stay at the Central Studio Apartment Oikes in Prague was impressive. We stay for three nights and we felt really comfortable. The appartment (we got a bigger one that the one we were supposed to get) was clean, comfortable, and included all the necessary comodities to live (and cook). The room was shiny and the bathroom luxurious. The only "but" was that the wi-fi did not work in all the rooms, you had to get close to the entrance of the appartment to access the internet. I can only recommend the place and as I will be probably coming back to Prague again, I know where I'll stay. Low price, high quality.
We had a nice time Prague: Friendly host, good information. Nice location and clean and spacious appartment.
We have enjoyed our stay in the apartment very much. The service was very good. There was a pleasant welcome when we arrived. The room was bigger en nicer than we expected. The location of the apartment is perfect. In about 10-15 minutes you're in the city centre, so that was very nice. And there is a tram station en metro station nearby so you can travel where ever you like. We definitely would come back to this place.
We had a great time in Prague and the appartment was above expectations. We got the bigger appartment with the rooftopterras with great view! It was very clean and Simone was there at our arrival to give us the key and information. He is very friendy and polite. There was also a nice espressomachine with coffee for us! So we could drink a nice espresso in the morning! Very good spot, with a minimarket on the opposite site of the street. A lot of nice bars in this district and not so far from the centre. Also a tramstop within 100 meters.

A LITTLE girl who has already been diagnosed with cancer THREE times has suffered a further setback.
Kelsey Petty, two, has been told by doctors twice that she has a cancerous tumour in her right kidney, another in her left kidney along with problems with part of the bone in her right arm which is missing.
The latest setback for Kelsey and her mum Miranda, 26, of Hamilton Road, Taunton, are bowel problems which the family are waiting to find answers for.
She said: "Kelsey just thinks all this is part of everyday life because she doesn't know any different and that helps me out in a way.
"She is a strong girl and she still goes to nursery for two half days a week which is brilliant and she loves it.
"We are in limbo at the money while we wait for tests but we need to get to the bottom of it all - there is still light at the end of the tunnel."
Alongside ploughing her energy into looking after her daughter, Miranda has already raised £10,500 for the children's unit at Musgrove Park Hospital and charity CLIC Sargent, who are both supporting Kelsey.
She said her aim is to raise £17,000 for the hospital, based in Taunton, so they can build a sensory room.
She added: "The sensory room is a place where carers can take parents away for some respite, sit them down and speak to them in private.
"It is also somewhere for the children to relax and enjoy the different lights and equipment with engage all your senses."
In a bid to raise extra funds for their charities of choice, Miranda launched Kelsey's Cancer Fund wristbands and merchandise which a friend, Francesca Dillon, who runs Taunton Tiny Trends in Crown Walk, has on sale in her shop.
Miranda said: "The support from people has been amazing."
The next event Miranda is running is a Valentines Ball black tie event at Somerset County Cricket Ground on Saturday, February 15 at 7pm. Corin Hughes, who appeared on television show The Voice, will perform live, along with a three course meal, disco, auction and raffle.
Tickets cost £35 each and are available from First Bus Station Travel Shop, Cloud 9 in Wellington, Taunton Tiny Trends or through Miranda who can be contacted on 07568-359142.

We currently live in an age where access to images of beautiful women is merely one click away at any given time. Our magazine stands have had to make room for the onslaught of new, sexy publications and our base of photographers has opened its borders to include a new army of camera-wielding aspirants who want to capture provocative imagery of their friend, wife, or girl-next-door. Girls who never thought they could include modeling in their repertoire of experience, because of their non-mainstream attributes are now finding homes for their various arrays of height and weight, bold hair colors and body modifications. And while all of that, in essence, is what art is about? expansion and transcendence of societal norms mingling with divine aesthetic presentation and superior artistic skill, this recent complete saturation of the market makes finding something truly outstanding a rarity? Like finding that proverbial needle within the haystack. Discovering a treasure that rises above being easily categorized, that breaks apart from the world it was created in, and itself becomes a muse and an aspirant, creating its own universe. April is that rare, exploding glorious and exciting gem. ~Amy Young, Perihelion Arts Gallery, Phoenix, AZ

Today's newsstands and magazine racks are populated (or should it be polluted?) with models who are
stick thin and are wholly unrepresentative of the average American woman. That is where April Flores,
AKA Fatty Delicious, comes in. She may be a big girl, but she is a bigger star and better role model
for today's females than the majority of today's cover models ever could hope to be.
Born and raised outside of Los Angeles, California, April's family was one that was religious and strict, as well as respectful and nice. Her Ecuadorian father taught April to follow her dreams, which is a lesson she continues to apply to her life today. As she grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, April strived to be skinny, and while she was in college, she lost 80 lbs., but she was still unhappy. It was at this point that she realized that to be happy with life, she had to be happy with herself and accept her body and love it for what it is.
April left college and worked at a mortgage company for a while until her cousin got her a job in Hollywood at a Latino coffee shop. It was at this coffee shop that April met Carlos Betts, a fetish photographer and filmmaker. With the help and encouragement of Carlos, April was able to accept herself even more, which led to her posing for him. There was undeniable chemistry between April and Carlos, and it turned out to be a match made in heaven because the two got married and have been happy together ever since.
Today, April has branched out from photo shoots to starring in films, such as Evil Pink 2, which was her first adult film. April is happy to continue starring in adult films, and her most recent ones are Kiss Attack and Voluptuous Biker Babes. It's no wonder that this curvaceous beauty is popular, and she grows ever more popular with each film she stars in. April's not just popular with men, either - women appreciate and thank April for helping them to feel more confident as they are.
Although she has started taking off with adult films, she still poses for photo shoots. She has been featured in books, including Fetish Dreams and Street World, and in many magazines, such as Paper Magazine, Bizarre Magazine, Marquis, Juggs, and Plumpers.
There's no denying that April is a gorgeous woman, and we hope she continues to push our boundaries with her work. She is bold and a breath of fresh air in an adult industry that is overrun with carbon-copy models, and we look forward to seeing more of her.

Philadelphia, Pa. -- The University of Pennsylvania volleyball team used double-digit kills from three Quakers to take three-sets against Dartmouth tonight, after dropping the first: 3-1 (24-26, 25-16, 25-16, 25-18). The Red and Blue evened out the weekend with the win and improved to 9-9 overall, 3-4 Ivy. The Big Green fell to 9-10 overall, 2-5 Ivy.
Penn fell behind by three in the first set and slowly climbed up the scoreboard within one at 22-21. The teams went back-and-forth but Dartmouth finished on top, 26-24.
Early in set-two, the Quakers claimed six-consecutive points, to go up 7-1, from two attacks errors by Dartmouth and kills by three Quakers: sophomore Alexis Genske, freshman Arielle Winfield (two), and senior captain Kristen Etterbeek. The Red and Blue maintained a steady lead and closed the set with a kill from Winfield, two service aces from sophomore Ronnie Bither, and an attack error by the Big Green, 25-16.
Set-three was also dominated by the Quakers who hit .419 with 16 kills. Etterbeek contributed eight of the kills (.583), two of them coming in the last four points. Sophomore Jasmine DeSilva knocked down another kill and Penn won the set off an attack error by Dartmouth, 25-16.
Determined to stay in it, the Big Green battled back in the fourth-set, as the team with the lead changed six times – the first occurrence in the match. A kill from Etterbeek gave the Red and Blue a two point advantage, 13-11, and the momentum needed to take three more -- an attack error by Dartmouth's Lucia Pohlman, a kill by Winfield, and a block by Winfield and DeSilva. The 16-11 lead was the largest lead in the set and from there on out, points for either team were only won from kills. The Big Green's six kills were not enough as Penn put down nine by six different Quakers, who claimed their victory points from DeSilva and Genske, 25-18.
Etterbeek totaled a single-match season-high 17 kills, followed by DeSilva (14), and Genske (12), which was also a single-match season-high as well as a tie for single-match career-high. Along with the 12 kills, Genske added 14 digs, behind senior captain Dani Shepherd, who anchored the defense with 31 digs. Winfield contributed the only solo block of the evening and notched eight block assists, as the Red and Blue tied their single-match season-high record for team blocks of 12.
Next weekend, the Quakers will host Princeton for their Annual Dig Pink match on Friday at 7 p.m. To donate and support the cause, click here.

5 Lady Flames Earn All-Conference Honors
As the Liberty women's soccer team prepares for the semifinals of the 2013 Big South Championship on Friday, five Lady Flames have earned Big South all-conference honors, as voted by the league's coaches.
Sophomore midfielder Brittany Aanderud and senior defender Casey Norris were named to the conference's first team, while junior defender Maddie Boone and redshirt freshman goalkeeper Holly Van Noord earned second team honors. Van Noord and forward Julia Delgatti also secured spots on the conference's all-freshman squad.
Much like Van Noord, Boone picked up a second accolade, as she was named to the all-academic team.
A 2012 all-freshman team member, Aanderud leads the 2013 Lady Flames with 16 points on five goals and six assists. The sophomore's assist total ties her with Campbell's Hillary Gupton, Gardner-Webb's Megan Reynolds and Longwood's Gina D'Orazio for the league lead in helpers. Aanderud has posted the game-winning assist in the three straight games, giving her 11 for her career. The mark now ties her with Madison Short (2009-11) and Aimee Luurtsema (2008-11) for the third-most assists in program history.
Norris has also cemented her name in the Liberty record books. On Senior Day she set a new program record for the most games played in program history, surpassing Liberty Athletics Hall of Famer Nancy Davis (1998-2001, 78 games). The Pittsboro, N.C., native has appeared in 81 total contests. This season, Norris has been instrumental in helping the Lady Flames set a new single-season shutout record (13). In addition to her defensive effort, the senior also recorded the game-winning assist in Liberty's 1-0 victory over Charleston Southern (Sept. 25) and kick started the Lady Flames' attack with the initial goal in their 7-0 win versus Campbell (Sept. 28).
Playing alongside Norris, Boone has also been a linchpin for the Lady Flames' defense, this season. The junior was named Big South Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 21 for her role in Liberty's victories over VMI and Gardner-Webb. Earlier this season, Boone also posted a goal in the team's 3-0 win at Saint Joseph's (Sept. 8), helping the Lady Flames eventually garner a program-best 5-1 start.
After redshirting her freshman year, Van Noord has turned heads in her first active season, setting a single-season program record with 13 shutouts. Like Boone, the Hudsonville, Mich., native also earned Big South Defensive Player of the Week honors (Sept. 9) earlier this season, for her pair of shutout performances in the City of Brotherly Love against Drexel and Saint Joseph's. Van Noord is currently 19th in the country in save percentage (.859) and 22nd in goals-against average (0.58). Thanks in part to her efforts, Liberty is also 10th in the country in shutout percentage (.650), 18th in save percentage and 20th in goals-against average.
Delgatti has been a key distributor for the Lady Flames in her first season. The freshman is second on the team in assists with four, which includes a three-assist performance in Liberty's 7-0 victory over Campbell. The Rochester, N.Y., native's trio of helpers were the most by a Lady Flame in a single game since Silvia Betancourt posted three in a 5-1 victory over Presbyterian on Oct. 18, 2008. Delgatti also posted her first career goal on Sept. 6, capping Liberty's scoring in its 3-0 win versus Drexel.
No. 2 seed Liberty (14-5-1) continues play in the semifinals of the 2013 Big South Championship, Friday, squaring off with No. 6 seed High Point in Conway, S.C. The contest will stream live on the Big South Network at 7 p.m.

Even the European Commission's own experts think it is going too far with its proposals for regulating the hedge fund industry.
Jaques de Larosière, author of an influential report on financial supervision, told a seminar in London the Commission's draft directive on alternative investment management went much further than he had recommended. The report came to the conclusion hedge funds were not a systemic issue, but the draft directive proposes regulating some aspects of alternative funds even more tightly than Ucits, the retail investment vehicle.
As leader of a 'High Level Group', one might expect M. de Larosière's words to have some weight.
The seminar, hosted by Business for New Europe, also heard from Lord Turner, chairman of the UK's Financial Services Authority, who warned hedge funds might become a "target" in Europe, and Lord Myners, the UK financial services secretary to the Treasury, who called the directive "flawed".
The Alternative Investment Management Association welcomed these comments – as well it might!

Did you know?
The first recorded instance of a golf game in South Africa was in Cape Town in 1885.
South Africa has numerous golfing holiday tour operators who can arrange your golf adventures around the country, according to your budget and available time.
Even if you aren't part of an arranged golfing tour, it's still very easy to hire a car from one of the country's major airports and opt for an independent golf safari. South Africa has excellent roads and travelling around is a lot easier than most international golfers might expect, despite the vastness of the country.
From Johannesburg, wildlife resorts such as the Kruger National Park are just a few hours' drive away and some of the country's top courses are situated near such parks.
Some of the courses to consider in the northern part of South Africa (within driving distance of OR Tambo International Airport) include Sun City, Legends Golf and Safari Resort, Leopard Creek and the Hans Merensky Golf Course.
The Western Cape province, which includes the city of Cape Town as well as the famous Garden Route, should be on every golfer's bucket list.
Fancourt, a golf estate in the Garden Route town of George, has three world-class courses with luxury accommodation.
The Eastern Cape also has several excellent golf holiday establishments, such as St Francis Golf Lodge, which has received some rave reviews on respected independent travel tip website, TripAdvisor.
A traveller from Glasgow, who writes under the name CRK62, visited during 2011 and wrote afterward: "This destination, recommended by a friend, exceeded our high expectations… The Links golf course, while it has some spectacular views, is typical Nicklaus, fine if you are playing well, but if you are not the Bay course down the road offers a more friendly challenge."

About a year ago, we introduced you to the Fernando Tatis Twitter Experience. Although it has been around for a while now, the former Cardinal recently unveiled his latest work of art, and despite his immeasurable talents, not everyone is aware of this burgeoning young artist. So this seemed like a good time to revisit the subject, just in case you're not following him.
Like any great work of art, the piece, which Fernando calls "Business Casual," could be interpreted any number of ways. The literalists among us might point out that the subject, Tim Tebow, is currently not playing professional football, and in fact has signed on to become an analyst on ESPN's new SEC Channel, which will obviously require him to wear a suit. And perhaps, when he's relaxing around the house, Tebow still wears his No. 15 Denver Broncos jersey. There are certainly plenty of those left in circulation.
A more conceptual interpretation might be that the work is a reflection of the artist's own innermost thoughts and desires. Perhaps the subject is Fernando himself. To the laymen's eye, the giant cheeseburger heads might denote a heavy influence on the artist by Mayor McCheese. The more experienced Tatis art connoisseur realizes this is yet another expression of his fondness for Wendy's.
To avoid any confusion, now might be a good time to point out a few things you should know in order to fully appreciate Fernando's work.
1) Tim Tebow is a constant source of inspiration. Despite the fact that he's basically been out of football for two years, the former college star continues to stir Fernando's creative juices.
During the Broncos 24-17 divisional playoff win over the San Diego Chargers on Jan. 12, Tatis posted this piece just prior to the fourth quarter, seemingly forgetting that "Tebow Time" is no longer a thing.
A few weeks later, with the Broncos down big at the half in the Super Bowl, Fernando had some unconventional advice for Denver head coach John Fox, expressed via this piece of "found art."
No such advice was given to his old team during the World Series. Instead, Fernando played it pretty straight.
2) Fernando the artist has a deep-seated affinity for Wendy's. A characteristic underscored by an unwavering reverence for its founder, the late Dave Thomas, who is the featured drummer in the imaginary band, The Fernando Four.
3) Fernando's work projects a certain kind of child-like innocence, not dissimilar to that of a Norman Rockwell painting. For parents of young children, it's important to resist the urge to print it out and stick it on your fridge. Case in point, this piece inspired by the exceedingly harsh winter:
4) Every once in a while Fernando will step out of his comfort zone of Wendy's, Tim Tebow, and zoo animals, and dabble in abstract expressionism.
Now, some say the Fernando Tatis Twitter account is fake. But you know, they say the same thing about Jerry Springer and pro wrestling. I ask you, does it really matter? The important thing is that we like watching fat, ignorant rubes pull on each other's hair in front of a screaming crowd.
If you'd really like a window into Fernando's mind, he actually offers it up in one of his more famous works.
As a side note, this one has to be is my personal favorite. Leave it to an artist to recognize true beauty.

5 Things To Know About Gaia Weiss
If you're not familiar with the name Gaia Weiss, you'll learn it soon enough. She's the gal Kellan Lutz lusts after in The Legend of Hercules, hitting theaters Jan. 10. And it's no wonder. I mean, look at her—blonde,
blue-eyed, and nearly 6-feet tall. She's hot.
But the French model and actress is also more than meets the eye. Find out in our roundup below which member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team Hollywood's hottest new up-and-comer is dating, or how she got bloody knuckles.
1. Girl's not afraid to get down, especially while trying on a pair of jeans. She once broke out her best zombie claw moves to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" while in a clothing store's changing room. Classic Gaia.
2. Like Rihanna, Gaia's favorite animal is the slow loris. Who wouldn't love a fluffy, puppy-dog eyed endangered animal that also happens to be the world's only poisonous primate? True fact.
3. The 22-year-old beauty is one tough chick. She ripped her knuckles open fighting with "The Hunger Games'" Alexander Ludwig during the season two filming of History's "Vikings" drama series. You've gotta respect a girl who's not afraid to get bloody.
4. The Paris-born model's a "Breaking Bad" fan and prefers to watch the show while gulping down Heinekens and gorging on Sour Cream Pringles. She could be our new best friend.
5. Sorry boys, Gaia's taken. Her beau is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team—well, the guy that played him in "Harry Potter"—Sean Biggerstaff. And apparently he's an amazing cook.
The Legend of Hercules is out in theaters Jan. 10. Check out the latest trailer, and get all the exclusive details on the anticipated blockbuster.

Business Briefs
Saturday, Jul 12, 2014 06:00 am
New Canada Post outlet now open
A new Canada Post outlet opened Monday at #10, 19 Bellerose Drive.
The outlet is located inside London Drugs and will provide regular mail and parcel delivery services, said Phil Legault, Canada Post manager of media relations.
�We are always examining our network and always looking to expand our network to provide more access points to Canadians,� he said.
Legault said Canadians are using the postal service differently now than in previous years. While there is less use of letter mail, Canada Post is seeing a rise in parcels and parcel delivery, he said.
This creates the need for more outlets for easy pick-up, he said.
New offices are also located close to or inside a store, such as the London Drugs. This allows people to combine their shopping with picking up their mail, Legault said.
�We are just looking at making it much more convenient for people to use our service,� he said.
Residents in the area of 19 Bellerose Drive can likely expect their parcels to be delivered to the new location now, he added.
The new postal outlet offers parcel pickup, shipping, stamps, post office boxes, money orders, government forms including Canada Revenue Agency and Passport Canada paperwork, as well as debit and credit card payments.
Services will be available seven days a week � Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m..
Luxurious Beds celebrates grand opening
Luxurious Beds and Linens, located at #120, 71 Corriveau Ave., will celebrate its grand opening this weekend.
The new store sells a variety of standard bed frames, as well as adjustable beds, mattresses, linens, duvets, blankets and pillows.
Owner Brenda Elder said she and her husband Dave have owned the business since April 2013 and started out with a showroom in Riel Business Park.
After attending a successful Edmonton Home and Garden show in March 2014, they decided to expand and open a full-on retail store, she said.
�We have several (products) in our store and then we have several we can easily order in,� she said. �We have a wide variety for people to look at.�
Elder said it�s important to them that their family business provides customers with quality products, including bamboo, organic and alpaca sheets and linens, as well as great customer service.
The latter includes a fast delivery service and 10 years of experience in the industry, she said.
�We are selling things that we love, that we use, and that we are very comfortable selling to other people,� she said.
Luxurious Beds and Linens is open seven days a week � Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
For more information go to luxuriousbeddingandlinens.ca.
Australian sports wear coming to St. Albert
Kyle Gronning promises he won�t sell any see-through sportswear.
But the owner of Believe Fit, a new sportswear and supplement store opening soon in St. Albert, is looking to attract a similar demographic as competitor Lululemon � women aged 18 to 40, he said.
�It�s a very female focused store,� he said. �It�s all fashionable, functional wear.�
Believe Fit is expected to open in the next two weeks. The story carries a wide variety of female-only workout clothes from Australian clothing designer Lorna Jane.
The brand is about 10 years older than Lululemon but only moved into the North American market in recent years, said Gronning, who owns all of the Canadian stores � five corporate stores and two franchises.
He�s now decided to open a store in St. Albert because his first one, located in Sherwood Park, continues to attract customers from this city, he said.
�People are willing to drive through their own cities and across Edmonton and Sherwood Park to buy this product,� he said. �So we just decided to bring this product to them.�
Gronning said the brand releases about 15 to 20 new styles per week to be sold at his store. Believe Fit will also offer free workout classes �to get people up and out and moving again.�
The store will be located at 525 St. Albert Trail, near the GoodLife Fitness. For more information go to ibelievefit.com.

GUYFIERI - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkWhats wrong with the title? Reply
epoon2 - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkit's all in the last page:
given the price, there are other products which optimized for both noise & cooling Reply
lever_age - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI wonder what that top middle fan mount does other than (1) ensure that a conspicuous meshed area has a fan behind it, (2) light up, and (3) steal air from the CPU cooler. Maybe it helps the graphics cards in some setups? Possibly? Or it's just the aesthetics and we-crammed-three-230mm-fans-in-a-case appeal. Reply
ShieTar - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkNot sure which one of the two you think is the "middle" one, but either way it is an exhaust fan. To take air away from the CPU cooler after it has been pushed through there and heated up is exactly what it is there for. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI suspect it's the forward fan on the top (since there's a fair amount of case forward of it). As it is it's probably aimed toward maxing out total airflow.
Having that much space to install fans OTOH does fit one major feature checkbox; it makes this one of the very few cases able to fit a 3x140mm radiator without being modded. The only others I know of are from MountainMods and CaseLabs; both of whose cases are significantly more expensive. Reply
BMAN61 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkThere are 2 other chassis with native support for a triple 140mm radiator; namely the NZXT Switch 810, and their other offering the Phantom 820.
So no need to spend megabucks for a chassis from CaseLabs or Mountain Mods. Reply
lever_age - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkSorry, I meant the 230mm top fan (the one halfway between the front and back of the case, not the one toward the rear that's above the motherboard).
With a typical ATX layout with say two 120mm / 140mm fan positions on top, it sometimes doesn't help (sometimes even hurts) to have the second one, the one towards the middle of the case. If used as exhaust, it takes air away from the intake of a side-blowing tower CPU cooler as we have here. If used as intake right next to the other top fan (and exhaust), that creates turbulence and doesn't work too well unless you actually add ducting to the CPU cooler intake.
Here, the position of the second top fan looks ridiculous because the two are so large. That said, because of the size of the case, distance to the CPU intake area is not that small. Having the mesh, cutout, and space for a 3x140mm radiator is nice, but that doesn't mean that putting a second fan there actually helps anything (other than arguably aesthetics and checkbox on the feature list, which would be my guess).
Seems like it could be a situation where marketing trumps engineering, which is what I was getting at. We have airflow for the sake of airflow, rather than directing air to useful places. Reply
RosewillEye - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkOne can never have too many fans. Reply
HobgoblinX - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkAs usual, I really enjoy reading your reviews. Great detail. Great humor. I just have one question. Could you please re-test the Thor V2? You changed your test bed very shortly after reviewing the Thor V2, and it's a little frustrating to have a case referenced in numerous reviews that I cannot compare to the case under review because the Thor V2 has no compatible numbers. Reply
Ilias78 - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkAnd as always, Dustin complains about cable management. Yet he does the worst cable management in the business - regardless the case or the review. Reply
marc1000 - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI guess that's the reason he complains about the cable management issue. It's more of a "chicken and egg" problem lol !!! Reply
Jorus - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkDid you notice the lack of tie downs? This doesn't excuse the mess in the case but not much to work with under the motherboard for cable management. A shame. I really like the layout. Lack of toolless 3.5, lack of tie downs, small grommets and bad spacing as well, and having to remove front bezel to put in 5.25's. NZXT Phantom 630 or Enermax Fulmo GT is looking like better options for the price range. Reply
doubletake - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI feel AnandTech should sponsor Dustin with a personal trainer + intense workout regimen, so he can (hopefully) stop complaining about a case's weight, and the "difficulty" in mounting notched side panels. Apart from that, I enjoy the rest of the content in his reviews. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkYou could always Kickstarter one. Reply
Ninhalem - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI can lift a decent amount of weight (usually lifting 50 to 60 lb gauges all day at work), and I can understand some of Dustin's issues. I don't want to have to lift my case all day long because 1) I'm afraid of dropping the sucker (weighs about 45 lbs) and destroying components, and 2) there are not a lot of decent hand holds on cases especially when you need to lift in a specific configuration (especially when you have a custom loop inside where items aren't always secured down).
As for the notched side panels, I usually don't have difficulty with those, but putting both the side panels on after a cleaning is just annoying. I don't like to be annoyed after spending 3 hours cleaning the inside. It is not hard implementing engineering changes to put swing doors on these cases especially if you are charging over $150 USD. Reply
Observist - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkWell, Dustin does say that 60 lbs is almost half his body weight, so he's not a big guy. If, like many computer enthusiasts, he were carrying around an extra 200 lbs at all times, lifting a 60 lb case wouldn't be such a big deal, but alas, you're giving him crap for being small. Reply
Th-z - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkSuggestion: please include filter as a category in your spec table in your case reviews, Dustin. Maybe it's something you don't care so you never/rarely mention even for a case with dust filters in your reviews, but your readers may want to know. Nowadays I don't consider any case without intergrated, easy to remove filters, because even for case with filters, I also have to check the density of filters, and how many fan slots are covered (especially for the intakes). So at least some mentions of it would be appreciated, having some pictures taken would be even greater. Reply
Onus - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkWhile a good argument can be made that such shouldn't be necessary at this price point, adding a fan controller oneself and adding fan filters (e.g. nylon hosiery stretched on a frame) will address the noise and dust issues without doing any real harm to cooling performance. The fan controller is incidentally another excellent use for a 5-1/4" bay. Reply
freedom4556 - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI don't understand the general disdain for 5.25" bays perpetrated in Anandtech case reviews. I can easily see someone wanting two optical drives for simultaneous rip/burn and a fan controller, and if that's a double height model then that's four bays right there. A case of this ridiculous magnitude should have had four bays as a minimum (which it does). How likely is needing 10 3.5" drives verses two opticals and a fan controller (or two, given how many fans this case supports)? Personally, I think that the suggestion that anyone buying a case this massive would want to whip out and use "an external enclosure and a USB cable" (pg 2) for installing stuff from DVD or watching a blu-ray is asinine, especially when the case comes with a hard drive dock (a more likely use for the "an external enclosure and a USB cable" scenario). Enough with the pie-in-the-sky 'everything's digital distribution and in the cloud' rhetoric already. It's just not true, and not all (even most?) of us have 100 mbps internet connections at our disposal. </soapbox> Reply
Grok42 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI am the source of some of this so called general disdain on the case review comments. If you look back through my posts I never complain about them on large cases such as these. My chief complaint is the lack of choice. There are only two mITX cases sans an external drive bay and both of those are recently released. I built my Core i7 3770 / 16GB / Ti 560 gaming rig out of one of them the Lian Li QB25 so I put my $120 where my mouth is. I couldn't be happier with this setup and not once did I need to use an optical drive to install the system or the ~30 games I have on it.
The fact is that the vast majority of computers don't have optical drives anymore. If you could phones and tablets as computers then the vast majority don't have any external storage including SD cards. Given that I like to be on the bleeding edge of computing and build custom computers why do I have to put up with cases full of legacy bays I don't need or want? Building custom computers is going to die if the industry clings to the past completely.
As to you other straw man arguments. I long since ripped all my DVDs to my media server. I haven't bought a DVD in years. If you like renting them and buying them more power to you but you also have to admit there is a large portion of the population that doesn't do this anymore and it is only getting larger. 4 years ago all this might have been pie in the sky but today everyone has laptops and tablets without optical drives and are happy watching all their media via digital distribution. These aren't techs but grandmothers. Finally I certainly don't have a 100mbps internet connection. My parents have a 1.5mb and I have a 6mb connection. We commonly stream 3 videos on different TVs without issue and sometimes 4. Reply
lwatcdr - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkYou see I feel the opposite. I would like to see more cases with just optical drive bays. It is easy enough to put in adaptors for any drive you want. What I really want is an ITX or mATX case with just 4 optical bays. I can get two 2to3 hotswap bays and make a NAS then. I would take six bays as well as then I could use two 3x5 bays and build a 10 drive NAS. In a way I do agree that we need more extreme cases. I would like to see some with no optical bays, some with only optical bays, and some with a mix of bays. Reply
lwatcdr - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI do not think that the Blackhawk competes with the Phantom 630 but with the 820, the Switch 810, and other cases that support E-ATX and larger motherboards. The 630 is a great case but is a good bit smaller. If you want to do a build a really complex water cooler loop system, or run a quad SLI system then you need a case like the Blackhawk. The 630 is a great case but not really in the same class as the Blackhawk. The Switch is and frankly maybe the better case for a lot of builds.
The one place that Blackhawk and it's twin the Xigmatek Elysium really shine is if you want a dual CPU workstation. They have the cutouts to support dual CPUs. That is also probably why they have such conservative looks. If you are going to build a dual 2011 system with a Quadro card and maybe a Tesla card or two then you really don't want it to look like a transformer. Lots of space and cooling for a really large system for a really low price. Reply
SunLord - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI have this case which I'm setting up to run a water cooled Dual Opteron server. This case is perfect for crazy large water cooled builds. As you can easily run 1 200MM on top, 1 3x140mm on bottom, and 1 140mm radiator on the rear with little trouble. You also can in theory fit in a 2x140MM radiator on the side of the hard drive cage but it's a bit of a pain as the case isn't meant mount one there. You also have the option given all the hose holes to use external radiators. Reply
JonnyDough - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkHonestly, two big fans directing air through filtration from bottom to top is all you really need to properly cool a case. I still think that the modern redesign of the old layout has a long way to go. How these companies situation the goods inside the case could use some re-evaluation.
It would be best served towards the front bottom of the case, below the drives for cable routing. The PSU needs to be a source of filtered cool air INTAKE. The out other intake needs to be filtered air through the bottom rear of the case flowing directly into the video card. If you want, an optional third intake can be window mounted with direct ducting to the CPU cooler.
The top of the case needs one giant quiet fan in the middle to expel hot air. Hot air rises, so it will rise to the top naturally and be expelled from the case by the fan. Positive air pressure is not necessary as long as the rest of the case is sealed up and the only intake possible is through the filters. Reply
lwatcdr - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI think you underestimate the value of positive case pressure.
1. It is pretty impractical to seal a case so it can only intake air from filtered sources. USB ports, side panels, and other ports and connections are almost never air tight.
2. Higher air pressure means that you have denser air which means more mass to carry away the heat. Of course just to make life hard when you compress a fluid like air you heat it. Light positive pressure supplied from filtered intakes. Reply
sulu1977 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkWhat I want to see is a case with a filter so that no dust or insects can get inside. Also most of USB ports should be at bottom of front panel, behind a simple hinged cover. Reply
Ammohunt - Thursday, April 04, 2013 - linkI would like to see this case built with every fan position filled. Reply

Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology Philip Dunne unveiled new equipment to help British troops identify targets more clearly at Warminster Garrison yesterday.
The MoD has invested up to £53 million in new night vision and laser equipment that will enable soldiers to spot potential threats earlier and protect themselves against the enemy during day and night operations.
Among the new equipment is a state-of-the-art laser light, which will be provided to all infantry soldiers, which fits onto the SA80 rifle to give more accurate firing and can illuminate targets from up to 800m away.
The MoD has also invested in more than 15,000 new binoculars to be used alongside the upgraded laser lights, which will be easier to hold and 50 per cent lighter than the previous model.
Mr Dunne, who visited the Infantry Trials Development Unit at Warminster Garrison to see the new kit being put through its paces, said: "The ability to see further and in more detail will allow British troops to stay one step ahead of danger.
"The multi-million pound investment makes clear the MoD's commitment to equipping our Armed Forces, including Reservists, with world-class battle-winning technology.
"It is important for our Reservists to know that they will be equipped to the same level as our regulars, using the same state-of-the art equipment."
More than 4,000 additional head mounted night vision systems have also been purchased by the MoD for the Army Reserve, allowing soldiers to operate in poor light or dark buildings.
Mr Dunne added: "These binoculars, laser aimers and night vision goggles will improve situational awareness and reduce collateral damage across the battlefield."
Lt Col Rob O'Connor, commanding officer of the Infantry Trials Development Unit, said the new equipment will enable soldiers to identify their target more effectively and communicate with their colleagues.
He said: "Our main function is trialling the new equipment to make sure it is appropriate for the soldier, so we trial it across a number of conditions, including the arctic, the desert and jungle.
"This new equipment will enhance the ability of the soldier to make more effective and timely decision making, as well as increasing their awareness and reducing the physical burden."
Lt Callum Cameron, of the Warminster-based 1st Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment, was one of the first soldiers to use the equipment over a six-week period on the Salisbury Plain and Sennybridge training areas.
Lt Cameron said: "The new equipment revolutionises how we fight at night. It is much more user friendly and it means we are safer and more effective. It's the strength of the British Army that we can constantly make improvements as the technology develops."

It looks like birdseed, heck, it is birdseed. Other than being gluten free, what is so great about millet? It makes great crunchy muffins for one thing. Today we do two, one with buttermilk, one vegan.
I started with a wheat flour and whole grain millet recipe from Cooking Light. Imagine millet in a mainstream magazine like Cooking Light. They were delicious, so I had to experiment. Both versions of these whole grain gluten free muffins are equally tasty.
You can substitute only millet flour for the wheat flour. Or use a gluten free flour blend. The straight up millet flour version has more whole grain flavor. The blend is milder. Do not omit the millet seeds though. They give the muffins the fun crunch.

Buttermilk Millet Muffins Yield 12 Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/3 cup oil
¾ cup dark brown sugar
1 ½ cup millet flour or gluten free flour blend
2/3 cup millet seeds
2 tablespoons ground flax seed meal
1 ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
In a small boil, whisk the wet ingredients well. That is the buttermilk, egg, oil and dark brown sugar. Sugar, any sugar, is considered a wet ingredient in baking. Weird, I know. Brown sugar does mix better with the wet ingredients than the dry ones.
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all the dry ingredients. That is everything else.
Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir until completely mixed.
Mixing ingredients like this, wet into dry, is called the muffin method. I learned that in 7th grade Home Economics.
Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes. The xanthan gum and the ground flax seed will hydrate, or soak up some liquid. The batter will get thicker and the muffins will rise better. That is newer knowledge, I did not learn that in 7th grade Home Ec.
Put 12 muffin papers in muffin pans. Fill the papers about ¾ full. Sprinkle tops with raw sugar crystals if desired. They are big and sparkly, a nice touch. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Did you say you wanted those muffins dairy free, egg free, vegan? Can do. I have recently discovered Amazake, a fermented rice beverage. During fermentation, the starch of the rice is broken down into sugar, naturally sweetening the drink. These muffins are a bit sweeter than the buttermilk version. Personally, I could reduce the sugar here to 2/3 cup. But my husband likes them with the ¾ cup amount.
Amazake is as thick as buttermilk. It might be a bit hard to find, and it is more pricy than buttermilk. Still, it is a great ingredient.
To replace the egg, I increased the ground flax seed meal. This adds structure just like xanthan. The first trial of these muffins, I left the xanthan in. Wow, that batter could stand alone. I cooked it anyway. The muffins were certainly edible, but they sure did not need the xanthan.
The second batch is xanthan free. Worked like a charm. And since there is no buttermilk, there is no need for baking soda either.
Also, I think this is funny, our cats LOVE these vegan muffins. One is very big and will eat any dairy, or anything with dairy, that she can get at. The other is very small and it seems she rarely eats anything. To our surprise, both cats want these muffins. They want more than just crumbs. These are just simply good, as good as the dairy version.

Dairy Free, Egg Free Millet Muffins yield 12 Preheat oven to 425 degrees
1 cup amazake

½ cup ground flax seed meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
In a small bowl, mix amazake, dark brown sugar, and oil.
In a large bowl, mix everything else. Let this batter sit for 5 minutes too, it will thicken. Fill muffin papers ¾ full. Top with raw sugar if you like. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Oh, and did I mention, nutritionally, millet is rich in the B vitamins, niacin, B6 and folic acid. And it is a good source of fiber.
Please let us know how you use millet. Or if you are familiar with Amazake.

Black Pearl 46 — By Capt. Patrick Sciacca —
March 2005
Through a Cat's Eye
A twin-hull sportfisherman with a monohull profile aims to convert traditionalist bluewater boaters.
She didn't look like a cat, but I quickly concluded that her ability to jump, run, and land on her feet were signs of a nimble and acrobatic feline. No, I didn't come across a predatory panther on the African plains, but I did take a ride on Black Pearl Marine's 46 sportfish catamaran that made this monohull diehard reconsider his position on fishing platforms.
I spooled up the 46's standard 710-hp Caterpillar C12 diesel inboards and pushed the single-lever Cat controls forward 'cause it was time to fly. The smooth throttle movement was only rivaled by the easy rise of the 46's solid-fiberglass planing hull, whose lines come courtesy of New Zealand's Crowther Design. The vessel came up on plane before she reached 1500 rpm and quickly accelerated across Smokehouse Bay off Marco Island, Florida, to an average top speed of 40 mph while burning only 72.8 gph. (That averages out to about 12 gph less at WOT than several similar-size monohulls I've tested.) The speed and fuel efficiency were immediate clues of why Black Pearl's founder, Mark Brunsvold, opted for a twin-hull boat. "I had a 65 [sportfisherman], but I didn't like burning 130 gph to go fishing," he told me. That's understandable, as this fishing-fanatic-turned-boatbuilder, who originally intended to build a boat for just himself, added that he enjoys extended fishing expeditions that keep him and his crew a couple hundred miles from shore. With 680 gallons of fuel available on the 46 and a fuel burn of only 46 gph at her respectable 34.8 mph cruise speed, this boat is mostly about range and ability.
She's also about handling. The 46's standard power-assisted Teleflex SeaStar steering enabled me to weave her across the Gulf, carving S-turns between crab-pot markers and making double figure-eights at speed. Even better was being able to do a quick reverse at about 5.5 mph to simulate backing down on a fish. Her twin hulls didn't so much as sneeze spray up and over the 51-inch gunwales.
One may question the fishability of a boat that has a gunwale that high. I sure did. But from a tag-and-release standpoint, it's not a problem. Using a tag stick from the cockpit should be as simple as stick and cut. If you have a large table fish—say, a bigeye tuna—you can just work your quarry to the starboard-side transom door and drag him straight into one of the two in-deck, macerator-equipped fishboxes. These are large enough for triple-figure tuna.
Fishbox capacity aside, the allure of 180 square feet of uninterrupted fish-fighting space was almost too much to resist. This is the place to dance with pelagics, and her 18'2" beam makes it possible (similar-size monohulls average about two and a half to three feet less beam). Even with the optional Release fighting chair, there's room for a stand-up angler to work a fish. If you prefer to fish with stand-up gear, I'd add coaming padding to save your knees some bruising, as my test boat didn't have it. In addition, while I appreciate Black Pearl's use of cockpit lighting, the lights protrude from under the gunwale and could possibly cut your legs if you're working a fish. Brunsvold says that subsequent hulls will have flush-mount lights. Some other fishy highlights of my test boat included a 55-gallon transom livewell, four rod holders, six rocket launchers, and 33-foot Rupp outriggers.

I mentioned this to my mother recently. It's very rare that I discuss anything with her without her finding some Irish connection – usually a connection with Mayo, or – if possible – a connection with the small north-western portion of that county.
I figured the idea of copyright couldn't have been conceived by some fella from Tallaghan Bawn or anything like that. And, in this case it wasn't. But she was, obviously, happy to correct me any 'copyright wasn't an Irish idea in the first place' misconceptions I may have had:
"The first historic mention of Copyright, which set the universal precedent, can be traced to 6th Century Celtic Ireland. It is contained in a judgement of Diarmaid, High King of Ireland – the legal equivalent of today's Supreme Court – in his finding against the Christian missionary Columba, founder of monastic rule, later canonised as Saint Columcille, who had become and incorrigible plagiarist......
....The High King took that well-founded legal precedent and extended it in his famous judgement against Columcille thus:
"As to every Cow its Calf, so to every Book its Copy.""

Once all the dips are devoured, you've weaned your supply of wings — and the chili has gotten, well… chilly — what sweets will you be serving to satisfy guests' cravings?
In our book, brownies and cookies are as synonymous with the big game as the messy, savory stuff. And the easiest way to keep your focus during the fourth quarter is to munch on handheld desserts — no utensils or hand-eye coordination necessary.
If it's bold brownies you're after, skip the boxed mix and opt for a simple, but super rich recipe, like Alton's Cocoa Brownies (shown above). Add extra crunch and sweetness by mixing chocolate nougat bars into the batter, yielding these Candy Bar Chocolate Brownies.
While you're drinking your beer, why not eat it, too? Dave Lieberman's moist, rich Chocolate Stout Cupcakes (topped with cream cheese frosting) will pair perfectly with your favorite brew.
For those who long for peanut butter above all else, transform blondies into Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars that are thick, chewy and rich with nutty flavor.
And of course, you can't go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie. But after all those great mains, plain cookies won't do — add smoky bacon to your dough to turn out a sweet and salty surprise.
Find even more great game day desserts here.
