Sony Computer Entertainment has held the baseball crown for two years on the PS2 with their first party title, The Show. MLB 07 was solid on both the PS2 and the PSP, and PS3 owners couldn't wait to get their hands on the title. Unfortunately, the release of PS3 version of the game slipped from February to March, and then again to April, which placed its high definition debut solidly after the start of the baseball season.
Well, baseball fans, looks like The Show isn't ready for primetime just yet. Both EB Games and the PlayStation.com websites are reporting that MLB 07: The Show will be stuck in the minor leagues for a bit longer, making its arrival on May 15, 2007, a full 45 days after Opening Day. No official statement was available from Sony as to the new date for the game.
We'll have more on MLB '07: The Show soon.

Calcutta: Dumped unceremoniously by a club he guided to the National League peak last season, Subrata Bhattacharya got a new assignment Tuesday which may not be as glamorous as the last one but far more challenging.
Tollygunge Agragami finalised a deal with Subrata whereby he will coach the NFL team for the entire season. Tollygunge were on the lookout for a coach after they lost Aloke Mukherjee to Mohun Bagan recently.
I had fruitful talks and am looking forward to working with the Tollygunge team, Subrata said late Tuesday evening after a long session with a senior club official.
But there are a couple of things still to be thrashed out before which I wouldnt like to comment on my new assignment.
Subrata had also been approached by Bangladeshi club Mukti Yodha Sansad to be their coach for the season.
He, however, is satisfied with the players Tollygunge have signed up so far but has asked for a couple of specific recruits. We will try and rope in the players Subrata wants, a senior club official said.

Brian Mcbride: Salah yet to develop connection with Firmino
Former Fulham forward Brian Mcbride said that Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is...
The Egyptian FA has decided to cancel the friendly with Burundi which was scheduled to take place in Alexandria this Thursday, the 21st of May.
The cancellation came among speculation of issues concerning the travels of the Burundi National team due to political unrest currently engulfing parts of the South East African country. The Egyptian Football Association released a statement confirming the speculation stating; "The EFA has received a call from Egypt's ambassador in Burundi to notify the National Team that the plane carrying the Burundi team has been cancelled due to political conditions and turmoil. Airspace and the main airport has been shut down as a result of this."
Following the news of the unrest, the EFA officially cancelled the scheduled friendly after consultation between Gamal Allam, current President of the EFA and Hector Cuper. The match was due to be played as a warm up for Egypt's upcoming 2017 African Cup of Nations Qualifier against Tanzania in June.
National team staff have also been in touch with Zamalek officials following the confirmed cancellation to notify the Cairo giants that players who had been called up did not need to make their way to the training camp following their loss against Sanga Balende in the CAF Confederations Cup.

Welsh Rabbit (Rarebit) - Sort of Toasted Cheese
Recipe by Karen Elizabeth
Nothing is more delicious that a well-made Welsh Rabbit, or 'rarebit'. It is easy to make but you do need to keep your eye on it! Have the toast made, and keep it warm, before you start cooking the cheese - which is best coarsely grated because it melts easily. From 'The Country Kitchen - Cheese And Biscuits' - Jean Hatfield.
Top Review by pollypolly
This was good but I'm not sure why the site gave the measurements for the butter, beer, and cheese in metric units and the rest of the ingredients in US measures ( I used the tab for US measurements). Also, the cheese and liquid began to separate as soon as the mix cooled; thinking a little flour should have been incorporated into the butter to make the emulsion hold. It was edible but glad I did not try this for company.
See Discussion:19 Reviews 1 Tweak
Ingredients Nutrition
- 375 g Mature cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
- 30 g butter or 30 g margarine
- 125 ml milk or 125 ml beer
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch cayenne powder
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 8 slices bread, toasted
- paprika (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Melt the butter or margarine in the top of a double boiler over boiling water. Add the milk or beer; when this is warm, add the grated cheese.
- With a fork, stir lightly but constantly until the cheese is melted. Season with Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and cayenne.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the lightly beaten egg, which will cook in a few seconds.
- Pour the mixture over the hot toast.
- Sprinkle with a little paprika if liked, and serve immediately.

The Apple Watch, Apple's first wearable which pairs up with your iPhone to deliver all kinds of great features to your wrist, has just been updated with the Apple Watch 2. This brings even more great tools and tricks, and here's our pick of the best Apple Watch features.
If you're tempted to splash out on the Apple Watch 2, or you've just slapped one on your wrist for the first time, you'll probably want to know about all the cool stuff it can do. Here in a nutshell are some of the most impressive Apple Watch features, and check out our full Apple Watch tips and tricks guide for an in-depth look at setting up and getting the most from your sleek new wearable.
Best Apple Watch features: Answer or reject calls
One main function of a smart watch is to act as a second screen for your phone. To this end, Apple Watch will light up whenever someone is trying to call you. Tapping the green button means you can take the call on your Watch, or transfer calls to your iPhone, Bluetooth headset or a car's speaker phone.
Best Apple Watch features: Check emails and messages
As well as answering calls, you can check emails and messages on the go. From your Watch you can mark messages are read, unread, flag them as spam or simply delete them. If you want to type a longer response, you can tell Apple Watch to open a message on your iPhone.
Best Apple Watch features: Mute incoming calls by moving your hand over the Watch
If you're in the middle of a meeting, your phone's in your jacket pocket and you've forgotten to turn it on silent, you'll look
infinitely cooler less stupid by moving your hand over the screen of your Apple Watch, as opposed to awkwardly fumbling the vibrating, ringing phone out of your pocket. And then dropping it on the floor.
Best Apple Watch features: Aaaaand breathe...
The Apple Watch 2 has a built-in 'Breathe' function which sounds completely pointless, but can actually help you to relax when the ol' stress monster hits. All you need to do is breathe in when prompted, filling your lungs until you're told to exhale. You're given vibration prompts, so you can use the feature without even looking at the screen - great news if you're stuck in one of those horrific work meetings and need to calm down a bit.
Best Apple Watch features: Stay connected with your best Friends
Apple Watch lets you stay connected with the people you speak to the most with the Friends feature. A simple tap of a button will let you message, call or contact people in a number of unique ways which we'll go through now.
Best Apple Watch features: Flirt with the 'Taptic Engine'
The so-called taptic engine built into the Apple Watch lets you receive subtle notifications. Instead of a light flashing up or your watch vibrating loudly, you can be notified of new message with a silent, gentle vibration that only you'll feel and no one else will hear.
If you're flirting with a secret someone or simply having a conversation on something you'd rather keep private, this feature is for you.
Best Apple Watch features: Everyone loves emojis, right?
Good, because EMOJIS.
Best Apple Watch features: Share your heartbeat with the love of your life
The Apple Watch can measure your heartbeat by taking a pulse reading from your wrist. While this is primarily a smart health feature, the messaging function of the Watch also lets you share heartbeat readings with others. If you're in a hopelessly soppy relationship, you might enjoy sharing vital signs with each other.
Best Apple Watch features: Kill time and train your brain
Although the tiny Apple Watch screen might not be perfectly suited to gaming, you can download and play a decent selection of games for Apple's wearable via the Watch app. From online quizzes to brain-tickling puzzle games, there's something for everyone - and you can even get stuck into some solitaire, if your eyeballs are up to it.
Check out our round-up of the best Apple Watch games for our favourite wrist-based time wasters.
Best Apple Watch features: Scribble and share hairy penis drawings
If you're less sophisticated in declaring your affections, you can scribble a crude penis or breasts on your Apple Watch and ping it over to your would-be partner. Chances are it won't work.
In theory you can use the sketch tool to draw anything and send it to one of your contacts. In reality we think most people will use it to annoy and amuse each other in a time-honoured fashion.
Best Apple Watch features: Get fit and healthy
A key feature of most smartwatches is their ability to double as fitness trackers and Apple's Watch is no exception.
It comes with a dedicated workout app built in that lets you set your own goals, whether you're running, walking or cycling. You'll be able to check how well you're doing at a glance when you stop for a breather and get a full breakdown of your time, calories lost and the distance you've crossed at the end.
The Apple Watch 2 is even better than the original as it has built-in GPS, so you don't need to take your iPhone with you on your run.
Best Apple Watch features: Track your laps in the pool
The Apple Watch 2 is also fully water-resistant, so you can now track your swimming sessions automatically instead of having to count off laps in your head. The smart swimming mode actually disables the screen until you spin the Watch's dial too, so you don't get any accidental interference.
Best Apple Watch features: Your wrist rocket can now literally save your life
The Apple Watch 2 introduced the excellent SOS feature, which could prove a life-saver when you're out and about.
If you find yourself in trouble, you can make the Watch 2 send out a distress message to your emergency contacts simply by holding down a button. This includes your precise location thanks to the built-in GPS, so help can immediately be sent your way.
Best Apple Watch features: Change the wrist straps to suit the occasion
Apple has designed Watch so that the straps can be removed and replaced with different ones, if you wish.
The sport band is made from a rubbery, spongy material that's sweat resistant - the perfect thing for a workout. Once you've done your laps of the park, or wherever it is you choose to work out, you can slip the band off and attach a metal link or leather one for work or leisure time.
We predict that third party manufacturers and internet artisans selling wares on Etsy are already busy sketching and working on ideas for bespoke straps. Pretty soon you'll be able to get Watch straps fashioned from denim, day-glo PVC and dragon heartstring. We assume.
Best Apple Watch features: Use Apple Pay to buy stuff
Speaking of buying extra straps, this reminded us that Apple had imbued its Watches with NFC chips. This means you'll be able to buy things with it using Apple Pay. Instead of tapping your phone next to an in store reader, you can tap your Watch instead. That is, if you live in the US - Christ knows when the UK will get this feature.
Best Apple Watch features: Find your way around town with Maps
The modern city dweller has become used to stopping every five minutes to check their phone and make sure the course they've plotted for that important meeting or date is the correct one.
With Maps on your Watch, you can get turn by turn navigation without having to constantly fish for your phone.
Best Apple Watch features: Use Watch as a remote trigger for photos or to check security cam footage
This is perfect if you want to position your iPhone for the perfect shot of friends, your cat, or whatever you want to pap. You can even use this to spy on friends, family members, housemates and workmates if you suspect them of constantly stealing your things and/or goofing off when they should be working/cleaning the goddamn kitchen.
Best Apple Watch features: Remotely kill Bluetooth and turn on Airplane mode to save your iPhone's battery
Another neat feature of Watch is the ability to turn off Bluetooth or all of the radios on your iPhone if you're heading towards that ten percent battery danger zone. Just pull up the Control Center and you have instant controls, for toggling power-sapping features.
Best Apple Watch features: Now where did my iPhone go?
Always losing your mobile down the back of the sofa, or inside the dog? Never fear. Just pull up the Watch's Control Center and you'll notice a Find My iPhone button, which when tapped makes your Apple handset bleep and vibrate.
Best Apple Watch features: Tell your smart home when you'll be walking through the door
This hasn't been confirmed yet but we'd be very surprised if Apple didn't find a way to bring HomeKit - it's smart home ecosystem - and Apple Watch together.
The big deal with HomeKit is that you'll be able to issue commands to and get notifications from smart home appliances like smart heaters, door locks and IP cameras from your phone.
With IFTTT (If This Then That) you can get notifications sent to your Android Wear-running smart watch and Samsung has promised that its Galaxy Gear watches will work with Samsung Smart Home.

When should we become physical in a confrontational situation?
Teaching on a recent Geoff Thompson masterclass, I was explaining my own interpretation of the Fence Concepts and clarifying each stage of these principals using my own Fence Flowchart.
I explained how the Fence must be natural and invisible to those around. I then moved onto the Controlling Fence, explaining how this should be a momentary position, not something which is static and prolonged as taught by most instructors it would seem.
I then moved onto the important Decision Making stage which is where we have to decide how we're going to deal with the situation in hand, assuming we've let it get that far and haven't been able to employ an effective avoidance strategy.
I simplified the process with my chart to show how, ultimately, we only have one of two routes to take.
We can become submissive and feign weakness to our attacker, or we can flip this coin and become totally aggressive and enraged.
The submissive option, I would suggest, through many years of personal experience is highly likely to result in physical conflict, either from your pre-emptive strike or from your attacker's onslaught.
To tell your would-be assailant that you don't want trouble and to beg "please – I don't want to fight" is a great way to tell your attacker that he/she has just picked the right victim.
This is great if you then intend to follow up this action with a pre-emptive strike, as your attacker will have momentarily relaxed in the thought that they now have an easy target. The result will be a more likely chance of success with your first shot.
It's worth nothing that in all my time working the doors of Coventry, I cannot recall one incident where I have told an aggressive assailant that "I didn't want trouble" and to "please not hurt me" only to have them respond with "Oh – ok mate – really sorry".
So, as I state more clearly, and in more, detail in my Fence Concepts book, going Submissive is usually going to be followed by physical action and I would highly recommend that this action is yours in the form of a solid pre-emptive strike.
The alternative to this is to become massively aggressive. To explode in a rage of fury. And to balloon and posture like a rabid animal ready to lash out at anyone or anything stupid enough to get in your way.
The intention is to totally shock your assailant and make them completely believe that they have picked the wrong victim and that now they are the prey instead.
Trust me – this works!
The upshot of this action is that it can give you a far better chance of surviving this encounter without even having to resort to physical action such as fighting. By inducing this "adrenalin filled" state in your attacker, you can at the very least buy yourself a few seconds to escape, and at the best you can totally bottle-out your attacker and have them back away from you.
The reason for this article was a result of an innocent question from one of the students on the course and that was...
"How do you know which of these routes to take, Submissive or Aggressive?"
A simple question but quite a complex answer if I'm totally honest.
Firstly, I emphasise again that to have let a situation get to this point, means you've most likely missed warning signs earlier on that would have helped you to spot this potential encounter ahead of time and take the appropriate steps to avoid confrontation in the first place. Good awareness skills are vital and if performed well, this decision will be required far fewer times than you think.
However, we are where we are and so we must make the right decision.
In a confrontation we really have 4 options on how we can proceed.
Comply – Give the attacker everything they ask for.
Diffuse – Talk the situation down or perhaps talk your way out of the situation rationally and calmly.
Escape – Run away at the first opportunity – possibly after employing an aggressive fence.
Physical – Start hitting – possibly after employing a submissive fence, asking a question, engaging the attackers brain (what there is of it) and then knocking him out.
Which of the latter two options we take will depend on a variety of factors and logical decisions such as:-
Your legal position and what you are allowed to do in the situation that fits within the law.
Your own ability and being honestly aware of what you are capable of physically.
Your environment, who is around who can help or hinder your chances of success.
The level of threat you are facing.
What you stand to lose, who or what are you protecting.
The list could go on, and in another article I will elaborate more on how we can deal with a lot of these issues ahead of time so that we have less decisions to make should the time arise and more clarity of thought when we need it most.
These are all logical questions and decisions that all have a bearing on how you should act and the route you should take when choosing Submissive or Aggressive.
One thing which often gets missed however is this...
When we talk about being pre-emptive, we mean being first with our physical punch. Hitting first in order to defend ourselves as efficiently as possible.
The danger is, that if I stand in front of someone who is about to attack me and I decide to hit first for any reason other than it being my absolute last resort, then I am in danger of becoming the bully that I am trying to protect myself from.
To choose to hit first before employing every other option is to make the assumption that the person in front of you is less skilled than you and going to be vulnerable to your punch.
If, for example, I was to stand in front of a group of attackers, knowing full well that I don't stand a chance if the fight kicks off, you can rest assured I'm going to try every tactic under the sun to avoid physical confrontation with this crowd. Using an Aggressive Fence could afford me the option to defeat or escape this crowd without having to go physical.
I would only become physical as an absolute last resort. If I thought that no other course of action was going to have the desired effect.
It is with this same mentality that I would argue you should approach a lone attacker.
To hit first before you have exhausted the other options, or before you have reconciled that none of those options are going to work, is to become the bully.
To clarify. If I believed that becoming aggressive and posturing and ballooning against a single attacker would actually work, but I choose not to use this strategy and instead start punching, then I am the bully.
Don't get me wrong, I am totally in favour and in fact, a massive advocate of hitting first. To employ anything less in your physical strategy is to open the door for personal attack and possible defeat.
However, what I am also saying is that this strategy must still be your last resort.
So in a nutshell, your decision to choose either a Submissive or Aggressive Fence should be governed by a whole host of logical factors. It should also be a gut instinct and an intuitive decision based on the situation as it happens.
And remember, not only are you answerable to the law, you also have to answer to yourself.

When I started my martial arts journey in Shotokan Karate, at the age of 12, one of the things I remember being a large part of my training was Balance.
I remember the repetition of front leg kicks whilst standing perfectly still and poised on one leg.
Slowly raising alternate legs until my knee was above waist height and then, with as much control as possible, extending my kicking leg out in front and pushing my hips forward for more reach and powerFinally, holding my leg fully extended for what seemed like a thigh burning eternity, and then retracting at the same steady speed and finally coming to rest, both feet together.
This simple and basic, static drill, developed many attributes. It broke the kicking technique down to it's constituent parts so that I could hone each stage of the kicking process and then smoothly blend those stages back together once perfected.It increased my strength and muscular control, and aided my flexibility so that I could perform all of those high flashy kicks I so desperately wanted to be able to show off.
What it also taught was Balance. The ability to simply stand, stationary, without bouncing or shuffling around whilst I raised, kicked and lowered my other leg.It taught me how to focus and maintain good posture during this balancing act, which is paramount if you than want to take this technique into other aspects of the art.
We repeated this drill many times and worked it with the primary range of kicks the art contained. Front snap kicks, side thrust kicks, reverse thrust kicks, and front roundhouse kicks.
With each technique, balance became the primary goal; to be able to stand there completely still and in perfect balance whilst delivering and demonstrating each kick.
With each technique, balance became the primary goal; to be able to stand there completely still and in perfect balance whilst delivering and demonstrating each kick.
However, Balance has a much bigger part to play in Martial Arts and in life, than simply being able to physically balance yourself on one leg.
At the next stage we can look at how well we balance our training, with a well proportioned mix of heavy sparring, pressure testing, soft training, fitness training, technique and art training, solitary training, partner training, the list goes on.
In addition, we can also strive to achieve a balance with our training that incorporates research, reading, watching instructional DVDs, training with different instructors, seminar and class training.
From this we can start to cross train and get a balance with various sports and activities that all come together to supplement our ultimate goal. Mixing activities such as weight training, or gymnastic training with our martial arts, all geared towards improving our overall game.
And yet, the application for balance goes even further than this.
A book I read recently talks about having a Life Balance. In it, the author explained how we should all have a balance in our lives of Work, Rest, Play, Family/Relationships and Charity.
We should put back into society what we take out and at the same time have a balance of personal time and time for friends and family and relationships.
How you balance that is a personal journey.
Some people may be able to combine some of these so that perhaps your work is actually your personal fun/hobby time. Perhaps you work is also your charity and your route for tithing and giving something back.
Getting a good life balance is crucial if you want to be both successful but also be healthy and leading a full life.
A life that affords you the successes you desire without being detrimental to you or anyone else .
It's interesting how this requirement for balance also then applies into our Personal Security strategies.
On the Women's Self Defence days that I hold around the country, I talk a lot about awareness and assessment. The main emphasis however, is not just being aware of the bad things. When I show someone how to become more switched on, I teach them how to look for good as well as bad, safe as well as dangerous and places to move towards as well as places to avoid.It's very important to keep a balanced approach to your personal security.
When I'm walking around I'm making note of people who might be a threat and also people who may be able to help me. I look for places that I should avoid, such as dark alleyways and lonely footpaths, and places that I could run to, such as busy shops.
By keeping this balanced outlook, not only do I afford myself a complete and comprehensive personal security strategy, I also stop seeing the world as completely negative. I find that I can spot far more positive, good things in my awareness drills than I do bad.
This balanced approach also then means that my level of security is more balanced and more appropriate for whatever situation I am in. The result is I am less likely to be paranoid, locking myself away in order to keep myself safe, but also less likely to be caught off-guard and unaware. I can lead a more fulfilling life with a more balanced outlook and approach.
Switched Off!!! A Little Too Overcautious???
So, from a basic martial arts drill that saw me standing steadily on one foot, I have been able to take that concept and apply it at many levels. A quite simple notion of balance can have massive effect on my martial arts training, my personal security and in fact, my whole life.
A final thought.
A final thought.
"When you are balanced, you are more difficult to knock over. This applies to attacks from your training partner and the kicks and punches that life can throw at you."

So - Get In Balance!
Stay Safe and Have Fun

Gumpaste? Pastillage? Fondant? Fondant With Tylose?
Decorating By MyDiwa Updated 12 Feb 2010 , 11:44pm by tesso
I haven't done a lot of decorations other than flowers and fondant stuff you stick onto the cake. I have ideas of stuff I'd like to try but have no basis of knowing which medium to use for what. Can anybody help please?
HI: Even though I've done all the Wilton classes, I'm still unclear on when to use fondant, when to do gumpaste and when to add tylose, etc. Can someone give us a tip?
I am pretty new too and went to my firt Wilton GP and Fondant Class last night, and I had the same question, the instructor said to use Gum Tex which I think is the same as tylose, to make the fondant hard and hold it's shape..that's all I learned..hopefully someone else can share more with us....
And, where do we buy tylose? is it more cost effective to make your own GP ?
Straight fondant can be used for decorations that lay against the surface of the cake (can be used for other decorations just all by itself, it's more prone to going limp in humid conditions).
Straight gumpaste will allow you to make upright decorations that dry quickly and are less susceptible to humidity once they're completely dry. It can be rolled thinner than straight fondant for more light and realistic looking flowers. Holds up well AFTER allowing to completely dry.
Fondant with tylose added will give you the workability of gumpaste without having to buy gumpaste (added benefit to this is if you want to match the decorations to your fondant covered cake exactly)
Pastillage dries faster than gumpaste and is used when strength is needed for upright structures. Often rolled thicker than gumpaste or fondant, it can also be used, if completely dried, as support pieces for other decorations. Almost indestructable AFTER allowing to completely dry(because it's rolled thicker, it takes quite a bit longer to completely dry...so, plan weeeeeeeell ahead if using pastillage for best results and less heartache)
I like using a combination of fondant and gumpaste...no exact ratio....for all decorations that have dimension...flowers, figures, numbers...
and straight fondant for decorations that are flat on the cake surface...whether the cake is iced in buttercream or fondant.
google each one(if you haven't already)and look at the images ...you'll be able to see how each one was used
When I am working with just a flat piece of fondant, like a star, I use straight fondant, rolled fairly thin.
When modeling with fondant I normally use 1 tsp tylose powder kneaded into 1lb. of fondant. When I first started modeling I used straight fondant and it worked, however it is much softer and would lose it's shape easily. I have also used straight gumpaste, but found it dried quickly and I had alot more trouble with it cracking.
I think it's good to experiment and see what works best for you. Everyone works differently and at different speeds. Be careful if you start modeling. It's addictive!
THANKS, that's exactly the info I needed to know. I'll start experimenting now on which I prefer. Can always count on you experts!
i bought my tylose at the liquor store in the Home Brew section. (dont know why it was there, but it was) Also brought tartaric acid there too.

Most Talented Gospel Artiste In Nigeria, MTGAN Show Auditions In Lagos,Abuja, Benin
June 6, 2014 – Most Talented Gospel Artiste In Nigeria, MTGAN Competition Show Auditions In Lagos, Abuja, Benin & Port Harcourt
A new show aimed at discovering the talents of gospel musicians in Nigeria, tagged 'Most Talented Gospel Artiste in Nigeria' is set to take Lagos by storm.
According to the organizer, Bennie Ogbomo, the show is all about giving glory to whom it is due, the Almighty God through music.
Ogbomo who claimed she is divinely inspired to organise the show said:
"Gospel music has never been more popular than now, with its emotive power of winning hearts of the general public from all ages and backgrounds. Our initiative is to bring gospel (good news) artistes into the mainstream by bringing their music out of the churches and onto the world stage, laying a platform of empowerment, where anyone who truly desires can compete for relevance."
Ogbomo further said the audition that started on June 3rd will end on the 31th of July.
Auditions will hold in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Benin city.
While the final is slated for September 27, the winner will get a paid trip to Dubai, a brand new Kia car, N250,000 and a recording contract. He or she will also get to represent Nigeria at an international gospel music competition.
"Prizes for the 1st runner-up will include a paid trip to Dubai, N150,000 and a recording contract just as the 2nd runner-up will go on a paid trip to Ghana, a 100,000 cash and a recording contract," Ogbomo added.
Most Talented Gospel Artiste in Nigeria competition has been endorsed by Bishop Isaac Idahosa, Tope Ogunoike, Bishop James Adekoya and Mrs Pauline Nsa.
The organiser of the gospel show, Bennie Ogbomo took to her Facebook page few hours ago to say:
"The Most Talented Gospel Artiste in Nigeria, Media brief was a huge success.
Thank you Lord for Sons & Daughters, whose shoulders you have provided to help me drive this heavenly mandate, your Name alone be Magnified!"
Nice concept!

Despite avoiding relegation to the lower league, the goalkeeper insists they are going out for a win against the Naze Millionaires
Plateau United have vowed to beat Heartland FC in the week 38 of the 2016 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) campaign, declaring that the game is as important as any other match.
With the Peace Boys safe, there were insinuations that the club will give away their final match day tie with relegation haunted Heartland.
According to goalkeeper Isa Danladi, they have no reason to relax in their approach to the game.
"We are already safe despite the loss to El-Kanemi Warriors but that doesn't mean we will take take things lightly. We are aiming for a good result in our last game which is at home to Heartland,"
"If Heartland think we don't need the game, they must be joking because we will beat them.
"The match is very important to us because we want to end the season with a win."
Plateau United are 12th with 48 points and are billed to confront relegation strugglers Heartland FC on Sunday at the Rwang Pam Stadium in Jos.

Change Payment Option & Lose Prior Data (RESOLVED)Asked by AA_C on January 06, 2016 at 11:02 AM
I have made an error on a couple of forms. I picked the wrong PayPal payment option, (Collect Donations). Although we are a non profit organization I was informed by our membership coordinator it is not a donation, we are selling a dog membership.
I tried to change it but it warned me if I do I will lose all prior data. Is there a way to get around this, perhaps creating a spread sheet of current data then change it or is there another option.
Also is a dog membership payment considered a Subscription or Product?
Form: 53297495897984
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, subscriptions and custom amounts are different. You cannot switch and retain the existing values after that. Subscriptions are for recurring payments while custom amounts/donations are for one time payment.
What I can recommend is doing the following steps:
1. Clone your form, leave the old form intact and use the submissions there for reference.
2. On your newly cloned form, change or edit the settings in your payment integration. You won't lose any data because this is a new form. The old form has the old data.
3. Now use the newly cloned form as your main form now.
You can also download your submissions as excel, CSV or PDF format by following this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/73-How-to-Partially-Download-Form-Submissions-as-Excel-CSV-PDF. You'll have a backup of the data in case you delete or remove the payment integration in your main form.
For your other question, if memberships should be renewed on a scheduled basis (monthly, yearly, etc...), then you might need to setup a recurring payment order form as mentioned in this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/166-How-to-setup-a-recurring-payment-option
Do let us know if you need more information on this.
OK... This presents a bit of work on my part.
What if I was to just un-check the donation box?
I embed the script on our site so if I create a clone can I then just change the form number from 53297495897984 to the new number in my existing embedded form where ever it exists?
I believe I have done this in the past successfully.
As to part two,
I was asking what option one should use for membership type applications. This particular application is a lifetime thing so is not renewed.
I'm not concerned about that right now as our system is being rebuilt and will use an entirely new method in a few months and will not likely be using jotForm for any forms after then. Not my decision, out of my hands. Will wait and see what it offers. You have a great product.
Thank Robert
JotForm Support
I did a test in a sample payment form, I have submitted it with the donation option checked and then I have un-checked and the payment info was still there, so if you just want to receive the payment with a custom amount and not as a donation, you can just un-check the option.
I embed the script on our site so if I create a clone can I then just change the form number from 53297495897984 to the new number in my existing embedded form where ever it exists?
It could work, however, I would suggest you to re-embed your form, in order to avoid any malfunctioning in your form.
I was asking what option one should use for membership type applications. This particular application is a lifetime thing so is not renewed.
If the payment is not renewed, you can use the custom payment or product , as you are doing it now, if for example, you want to sell a service each month or each two months , you can use the Sell Subscriptions Option and it will automatically charge your submitter on the date you set in the integration.
Hope this will help you.
Do let us know if we can assist you in anything else, we will be glad to help you.
Thank you,
The person that receives the payments was wondering why they came in as donations. With that unchecked they should not appear as donations any longer, so that is a good thing.
I appreciate all your help. CASE CLOSED
JotForm Support
Hi Robert,
Great to know it helped you.
Please, feel free to contact us anytime if you need more help, we will be more than happy to assist you.

Updated: Entrepreneur's Journey on Why Blog?
Why Do You Work So Hard?
An interesting article about whether you should just quit your job and follow your own path and becoming anti-establishment. One of the cases is on a CEO of a large real estate company in the US who quit his job so that he can work on rebuilding his relationship with his estranged wife. How many Singaporeans would do that? I know of friends who really work too much for their own good. I really wonder why they spend so much on their houses and cars when they hardly spend any time in either. For myself, I've been really thinking about making a job change or even a life change. But like what the article says, I'm afraid … afraid of the bills, baby coming and personal doubts. I just need to psyche myself and justify it before I can make 'the great leap forward'.
House Hunting!
Took all of 4 days for us to look for and purchase our dream flat. As of now, I can barely believe it myself.
Just two hours ago, we signed an "option to purchase" for a wonderful flat that's totally done up and has no main need for us to do more. Think with just a fresh coat of paint and a change of the toilet seats and we're able to move in. Of course, we'll need to buy ourselves a bed as well as all the essential electrical appliances that makes modern living possible, such as microwave oven, fridge, TV, DVD player, sound system, etc. But we don't have to exactly think about those until about 2-3 months down the road as it would take that long for the whole process of getting a HDB flat to happen.
Am still very overwhelmed with this huge step that we've taken. It's a huge financial decision both of us had to make as it would tie us down for quite a number of years. Think I will hardly be able to sleep tonight.

Back from Australia
Just came back from Perth, Australia. Touched down at about 9.30pm last nite. Wasn't a smooth flight home. Was hit constantly by turbulence. And the pilot wasn't that skilled as we bumped and swerved when the plane touched down.
It was a very relaxing trip Down Under though. We just rest and relaxed at home on most days. Watching "Ricki Lane", "Jerry Springer", "Big Brother", "Restaurant Rules" and "Deal or No Deal". We did manage to do some shopping and sightseeing. We went to Perth City and visited the library. And, of course, shopping as well. We visited Murdoch about 3 times during our 2 weeks there. Went grocery shopping at Armadale Shopping Centre. Fed wild kangaroos in the backyard (and there were about 40-50 of them).
The most memorable trip was to the Lake Cave down south. Magnificent views underground, though the climb back up was torturous … all 300-over steps. The other highlight was buying our wedding bands from Rosendorf at Westfield Shopping Centre (a really huge shopping centre … even bigger than our Suntec City).
All in all, it was a relaxing trip to re-charge our batteries. Photos will arrive shortly when I've got time to sort through them.

Maverick Message
Dear Parents:
What an exciting week at Mill Creek! Our 5th grade students celebrated community heroes through the Liberty Legacy program. Our 6th grade students received a visit from the Liberty Middle School administrative team in order to prepare for the move to the middle school. Our 2nd grade students had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Jan Davis, an astronaut, and learned about the history of space exploration. Classrooms were buzzing with a variety instructional activities I love observing classrooms and hearing students talk about what they are learning. It was nice to see so many dressed for our spring pictures. I am proud to say that we all survived April Fool's Day...yes, some of our students fooled me!
Congratulations to the following students: Emily Wing won 1st place in the state PTA reflections contest for her entry in dance choreography. Sohan Mynampally won 6th place in the Grissom High School math tournament. Mill Creek's team placed 2nd. Sahiti Mynampally had an opportunity to play Dr. Fowler in a chess game. We are all very proud to say that she beat him.
ASPIRE testing begins this week. Our 5th and 6th grade students kick off the testing this week. Please make sure your child gets a good night's rest and eats a good breakfast on the days of the assessments. This will help them do their best.
I look forward to another amazing week being a Maverick!

Chace Crawford: I've lost my dignity
Chace Crawford has joked he lost his "dignity" while starring in Gossip Girl.
The American actor claims to have misplaced it during the five years he has spent filming the TV series. The 27-year-old heartthrob explained he will try and reclaim his self respect before saying a final goodbye to the Gossip Girl cast.
"I'm gonna look for my dignity," Chace joked to Us Weekly magazine. "My dignity is somewhere on set. I think it happened around season two. Leading into season three, it was all out the window."
The final instalment of the hit drama will premiere in the US next week. Chace revealed he will take home some souvenirs of his time as Nate Archibald when he departs.
"I would take some of those suits if I could," he explained. "I'm gonna try and steal some badass ashtrays, if I can fit them in my coat pocket."
As well as missing the wardrobe his character Nate sported in the series, Chace confessed he will also miss the make-up ladies. He explained that they helped transform him into the Hollywood hunk he is known as today.
"I saw them for, like, an hour every day," he explained. "I talked to them about my life problems. Some were like a therapist. I'm gonna miss those girls."

Guys if you liked this girl a lot but she had a little girls voice would you be annoyed or would it be a turn off? Why or why not? And would that be the reason you wouldn't ask her out?
Most Helpful Guy
It's annoying, but you'd have to be pretty shallow to not ask a girl out because of her voice. Nobody's perfect, and a decent guy will accept that and not expect perfection from you! Hope this helps :)11|00|0
Thanks it did (:

Cooking methamphetamine once required a high school knowledge of chemistry and a place big enough to house all the equipment.
Now you just need a jar and some household products.
On Monday, investigators discovered on Coleman Street what they called one of the biggest meth labs in recent years. But the trend among meth manufacturers is increasingly moving away from elaborate setups and more toward small operations.
The natural evolution of the drug's life cycle is one reason for the so-called shake 'n' bake method.
Meth users have experimented over the years and discovered more efficient ways to manufacture the drug. Another reason for the shift is that Georgia and other states have cracked down on the quantity of pseudoephedrine someone can buy at one time.
Pseudoephedrine is the main ingredient in meth and many cough and cold medicines, such as Sudafed.
Georgia has a tracking law that limits individual purchases to nine grams a month, or about three packages; it also requires people to show a government-issued ID when they buy it.
That has cut down on how much meth can be cooked at one time, but it hasn't stamped out the drug's manufacture.
Instead, meth users employ a method called "smurfing," so named because the pills resemble the little red berries that the cartoon characters craved. Several meth users pile into a car and drive around to different pharmacies, each buying their limit. Fake IDs further cloud the paper trail.
The resulting stockpile of pseudoephedrine doesn't produce much meth, but it's enough for a few hits with some left over for sale -- usually just enough cash for the raw ingredients.
"It's enough to continue the cycle," said Richmond County sheriff's Sgt. Allan Rollins, who works in the narcotics division.
The homemade meth isn't near the same quality as the high-grade drugs imported from Mexico, but it's good enough for a high. It's the difference between expensive sneakers bought at the mall and a cheap pair of shoes purchased at a discount store, Sgt. Rollins explained.
"They both do the job, but one is going to fall apart after six months and probably hurt my feet a lot more," he said.
The risk, however, does not get smaller with fewer ingredients. There's still a fire hazard in cooking small batches of meth. A flash fire in a jar can cause serious burns. And the small batches still create a leftover toxic sludge that's classified as hazardous material.
Rollins said the number of meth labs busted by the sheriff's office "comes in spurts" and an uptick could be coming in 2010.
In 2008, the sheriff's office dismantled 14 meth labs; in 2009, 20; to date, the sheriff's office has dismantled five or six, according to Rollins.

Ligonier getting Forest River RV plant, 130 jobs
Sherry Slater
, Journal Gazette
Ligonier has a labor problem. But it's a problem some other small Indiana towns would love to wrestle with.
The northwest Noble County city with a population of about 4,400 already had more than one unfilled factory job for every 10 residents.
And now, an Elkhart-based recreational vehicle manufacturer plans to create about 130 more jobs in Ligonier within the next two months.
Forest River
Inc. is investing millions to buy and equip a vacant factory to build Puma brand travel trailers, Ligonier Mayor Patty Fisel said Wednesday. The company, which couldn't be reached for comment, plans to ramp up production by Oct. 1, she said.
Time will tell how easy it is to fill those production positions. Fisel believes the relatively high wages might persuade some residents who commute to other cities to apply for jobs closer to home. The pay could also attract commuters into Ligonier to work, she said.
Workers will start at $15 to $18 an hour and can eventually earn up to $40 an hour, depending on experience and position, she said.

|Mitch Albom.
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

Fractional share operator AirSprint Private Aviation has quietly but steadily been building its business in Canada for the past 12 years, and since last June it has been expanding into the Southwest U.S. Calgary-based AirSprint's Canadian fleet consists of eight Cessna Citation XLSs and 13 Pilatus PC-12s. AirSprint has three PC-12s based in the U.S., at its Scottsdale, Ariz., office, and the company is planning to expand the U.S. fleet as word spreads that there is an alternative to jets or twin turboprops in the Southwest U.S.
AirSprint is a pure fractional provider that doesn't offer jet cards or provide charter services. "We're disciplined in our approach," said Chris Richer, AirSprint president. "We're less creative with regards to card programs that would put undue pressure on our fleet."
AirSprint's move into the U.S. market is focused around the PC-12 because, Richer said, "it makes a ton of strategic sense. We can be a first-mover, and we have tons of expertise operating that airplane. I look at the jet market as being a little congested in the U.S.; there's a lot of competition, a lot of big players looking at how to do fractional profitably. There are some great companies in the U.S. that operate turboprops fractionally, but they haven't indicated they are moving west. We have a lot of strength, our program operates profitably in Canada and we're well positioned as the economy turns for the better."
Competitors include Kansas City, Mo.-based Executive AirShare, which operates Embraer Phenoms and Beechcraft King Airs, and PlaneSense, a Portsmouth, N.H. operator that pioneered the PC-12 fractional market in the Eastern U.S.
There are no time limits on AirSprint fractional share contracts; owners can leave whenever they wish. However, AirSprint is the exclusive broker of the share when an owner exits the program, and the share must be sold to an incoming client, according to Richer. "There is no [buyback] guarantee; it's subject to the market value."
The U.S. market represents a "tremendous opportunity," he said. "The market opportunity probably will allow us to expand in the U.S. We believe the opportunity is large. We just need to keep our eyes squarely focused on our clients. [Building] a fractional program is all about doing a great job for the clients."
Richer doesn't see AirSprint moving into jets in the U.S. "We have a great jet program in Canada, but it's a crowded space in the U.S. I think that needs to flush itself out before we get into jets. We believe in the value proposition of the PC-12, and don't believe there is a light jet that can do what the PC-12 can do. We sell the safety of the aircraft, and its track record speaks for itself. Range, capacity, landing and takeoff characteristics, there are so many things about the PC-12 that lend itself to this type of operation. We have six guys going on a hunting or golf trip or a family of six going on a ski trip, they show up in a full-size SUV packed to the roof, and we can load the whole family into the PC-12 and fulfill the mission." AirSprint operates all PC-12 flights with two pilots, including deadhead legs.
As AirSprint expands in the U.S., plans call for adding 15 to 20 aircraft in the Southwest, including the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. The company also plans to add aircraft in Denver. The launch in Scottsdale, Richer explained, "largely [has] to do with relationships we have with our Canadian clients. It's a huge destination for the Canadian client base. As we've started to explore the market in Los Angeles and the [San Francisco] Bay Area, we see lots of opportunity.
"AirSprint isn't well known in the U.S, but Richer aims to change that. "We've flown under the radar and have been a Canadian success story. Other fractionals have done a great job building in the U.S. The best way to grow is by referrals, focusing on clients, understanding what they want and having a relationship with them. We're a humble company, inwardly focused, and believe that doing a great job serves us best in the long term."

Notes Client for Linux: Insecure Installation Routine
The installation routine with Version 8 of Lotus Notes for Linux, which was released by IBM in September, leaves a whole bunch of files with read, write and executable permissions set for any user behind on the filesystem.
The Linux Client, which users can download from IBM for a 60-day trial after registering, is first copied to disk as a tarball, "C14SXEN.tar". While researching an article for Linux Magazine, our authors discovered incorrect permissions in the tarball when unpacked by root. This is caused by the "tar" command unpacking the archive and ignoring the umask set for the environment when called by root. This means that file permissions are set exactly as configured in the tar archive.
On starting the install, the wrapper script, "setup.sh", again sets the permissions for the installation script to 777, again wrecking the plans of security conscious admins:
01 #!/bin/sh
02 umask 022
03 chmod 777 "${0%setup.sh}/installdata"
04 "${0%setup.sh}/installdata" "$@"
The call to umask in line 3 makes the 200MB binary "installdata" script globally readable, writable and executable. This gives you a large file that anyone can edit that has to be run with root privileges for installations in multiuser environments.
Linux Magazine has informed the IBM developer team of the issue, and the bug was confirmed after a couple of tests. Work is in progress on a fix, says IBM.
Lotus Notes is the client for IBM's Domino Server, a comprehensive database System for document management, groupware and integrated application development. The latest version, Version 8 is based on Eclipse, and this is also the first time that a full-fledged Linux desktop client has been available.

Favorite Dies?
What is y'alls favorite brand of dies? Right now I own some RCBS and Hornady dies but what about others. I am going to add a poll to this so check it out and post comments
I prefer dillon dies but only if im using em solely in my xl650. Otherwise i like lee redding and rcbs. I really really like the lee crimp dies a lot. The rcbs competition seater dies are really good for my precision needs. The dillon dies are just fantastic for making minor changes and stuck case removal or replacing broken decapping pins.
Lee decapping sucks terribly and should really be avoided if you need to decap military crimped primers or have a possibility of dealing with berdan cases. I just hate having to disassemble to slide the decap pin back down. They are fine on normal decapping needs but i find em annoying when having to process military surplus range pickups or mixed unknown source brass
I own some of all of them, but RCBS are my favorite. I really don't care much for Lee dies, but will use them if there is nothing else. I've gotten some good deals on used RCBS dies from the bay.
I have Hornady, RCBS and 1 Lee. I prefer the Hornady's but have more RCBS because I have been able to pick used ones up at good prices.
Yeah I think both Hornady and RCBS are probably the best in my book. Then again I am pretty green to reloading
Guess Lee cause thats all i've ever used --
Really like the machining on the Redding dies. Just a step above the others.
I use Lee carbide dies. The only problem I've had is with decapping some brass, due to the way some really tight primers cause the pin to slip. It interrupts the rythm of the operation while readjusting the die.
Lyman and RCBS in 2nd place.
Lee dies have served me well.

Computer users, beware. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer worries that consumers who make Internet purchases have become too complacent about...
WASHINGTON — Computer users, beware. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer worries that consumers who make Internet purchases have become too complacent about the risks of financial fraud and stolen identity.
Ballmer said in an interview with The Associated Press that a calm period without significant Internet attacks has lulled computer users, even older Web surfers who traditionally have been more anxious than teenagers about their online safety.
"I don't want trepidation high, but on the other hand, I want people aware of what's going on and taking appropriate precautions," Ballmer said yesterday. "I'm afraid that may have declined, a little too much."

Ballmer and other technology executives, all part of the Washington-based Business Software Alliance, met in Washington with congressional leaders and members of President Bush's Cabinet to lobby on Internet security, foreign trade and protections against software piracy. They also met with AP reporters and editors.
"Convenience is improving rapidly. Things I might have been a bit hesitant to do a couple years ago, I'm willing to go a bit further with today, even with some security concerns," said Stephen Elop, chief executive at Macromedia, which makes popular drawing software and programs for animating Web sites.
The executives said parents should teach children to avoid the Internet's seedier neighborhoods. Ballmer said one of his sons carries a laptop to school every day and spends hours online unsupervised.
"We need to oversee and use technology and teach our children what's appropriate," Ballmer said. "Some of it's still going to have to come from parents kind of teaching their kids what's right. That was true even before the Internet."
Elop, a father of five, said he uses software tools to protect his kids online. "But I do not abdicate the responsibility to train my children," he said. "At the end of the day, you have to develop their character and trust them to respond."
Another chief executive, John McEleney of SolidWorks Corp., called on the Supreme Court not to allow expanded copyright lawsuits against manufacturers of file-sharing software popular for stealing music and movies over the Internet. A decision in the case is expected in coming weeks.
Ballmer joked that his family never downloads songs illegally. "As I tell my three little boys, our family is going to be as holier-than-thou, when it comes to copyrights, as any family around because I have to do this kind of work," Ballmer said.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, in general, the basilica is a mere architectural description of churches built in the ancient style. It bears no significance with regard to precedence or importance of the particular building or clerics associated with it.

In Romania, the word for church both as a building and as an institution is biserică, derived from the term basilica.

After using Windows for more than 20 years I have found the switch to OS/X to have been a move that should have happened years ago. I cannot count the thousands of hours of lost productivity. To be fair, it is likely a few hundred hours as OS/X was not a true alternative to the power of Windows until the latest OS/X iterations over the past 5 years. After spending more than EIGHT HOURS trying to get Minecraft working on a 3-year-old PC (windows updates, driver updates, incompatible graphics drivers for Java… the usual Windows debacle) I decided I will rarely-if-ever recommend ANYONE every buy a Windows PC from this point forward.
However the move to OS/X has not been completely pain free. I am heavily trained on Windows and Linux keyboard shortcuts. One of the BIGGEST FAILINGS of OS/X was their decision to create a proprietary keyboard system for OS/X. They introduced things like the command key and the "apple key" along the way when the rest of the OS world standardized on keyboard mappings using the more-than-adequate 100+ keys including control, alt, shift, and the thousands of combinations therein.
After 6 months of using OS/X I still find myself pressing things like control-SOMETHING to perform an action. Control (^) C for copy. ^f for find. ^x for cut. ^v for paste. To perpetuate the keyboard training, I use a Linux virtual machine in GUI mode for my daily WordPress development. Linux adopted the defacto standards of the industry in the early 80s and uses the same key presses defined by , not Microsoft, but IBM.
Today I find the control-key training to slow me down significantly when using native OS/X apps. I found a "fix" for mapping the edit operations fairly quickly. You can do so without using Karabiner (which causes some odd side effects). You can edit the DefaultKeyBinding.dict file in your Users directory on OS/X. Create or edit the file:
You can assign keys like this:
{ /* Remap Home / End to PC Edition */ "\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; /* Home */ "\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; /* End */ "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + Home */ "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + End */ "^x" = cut:; "^c" = copy:; "^v" = paste:; }
That remaps the oft-used ^c, ^x, and ^v commands to their OS/X equivalents of Command (@) X, @-c, and @-v respectively.
But mapping ^f is a whole other kettle of fish. Mapping the action for find is NOT quite as simple. I tried mapping ^f to @f, which executes a "find action" in most OS/X apps. I tried using the action code "find:", to no avail.
However there is an easy way to map ^f to find in most apps. MOST apps. Not OS/X Firefox, which appears to not like changing the default keyboard mapping utility. More on that later.
For most apps, let's take Google Chrome as an example, you can change the ^f to be the find key by using OS/X System Preferences.
- Go to System Preferences
- Select Keyboard
- Select Shortcuts
- Select App Shortcuts
- Then click the + to add a new app shortcut.
- Pick your app, Google Chrome in this case.
- Now you need to find the EXACT menu text for the find command. On Google Chrome it is "Find…". The … is important.
- Press the Control-F key combination to set that as the new find command.
- Exit the app, i.e. Google Chrome, if you had it running (which you did because you had to look at the Find menu entry text).
- Restart the app.
- Your menu should now show the Find shortcut code is ^f
What about Firefox? It turns out the mapping shows up but does not work. The menu shows ^f is the new find key, but it does not activate. I had to install the Customizable Shortcuts add-on for Firefox and set the find key to be ^f instead of modifier-F (the system-set default). For some reason Firefox has hard-bound to the modifier key internally instead of using standard OS/X keyboard mapping system calls. The menu rendering is apparently a separate piece of code.
