- Cool product! Review by Army Enthusiast
- This is definitely new old stock-the blanket was in perfect condition except the described discoloration along the folded edges. I think I'll take it to my dry cleaner and see what she can do with it though. The shipping was lightning fast and I ordered standard ground. Got an email for every update to my order (thrilled with that :) ) Very thrilled with this purchase and I would buy from these guys again. (Posted on 6/8/12)

Japan Railway Company Apologizes for Selling IC Card Data
"Big data" that track the movements and routines of individuals has become a contentious topic following recent revelations on how the U.S. government has been keeping tabs on its citizens. Now, Japan's national rail system has come under scrutiny for selling data on its passenger travel habits, as recorded on the popular integrated-circuit, or "IC," pre-paid fare cards, without consent.
Japan's largest railway company, East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) admitted selling data on users of one such card–Suica–a month ago, apologizing at a news conference last week.

RedRover's standard forms
RedRover's' temporary emergency animal sheltering forms are increasingly being used as the national standard in animal disaster forms. We have made these forms available to organizations and agencies who wish to use them for their own preparedness and response efforts. RedRover has the following forms available:
Cage card - Records routine, individual daily care of animals in the shelter; usually attached to an animal's cage or enclosure
In-field tag - Completed by field rescue personnel and attached to animal/transport carrier in case animal and paperwork are separated during transport
Intake - Tracks an animal's key identifying information while in care, such as owner contact info and origin of animal; triplicate form; kept in binder (or similar), not on animal cage/enclosure
Lost animal - Documents animals reported missing by owners
Notice (of animal taken from property) - This poster is used to notify a property owner that their animal(s) have been removed from the property and where they can find them.
Request for rescue - Documents requests for animal rescue.
To request the forms for your agency's use, please download our request form and have an officer with your agency/organization complete it. Agencies using the forms are tracked so they can be notified in the event that the forms are updated and to facilitate feedback about their effectiveness.
RedRover enters into Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreements with agencies, animal shelters and other types of organizations that may need RedRover's assistance with a disaster or other emergency that results in a need for temporary emergency animal sheltering. Creating an MOU before the emergency occurs helps expedite assistance when it becomes needed. To inquire about an MOU with your agency or organization, please email us and email@example.com .

California gas prices are starting to slip below $4 a gallon, the first time in nearly two months they've been that low. We're now forking over 28 to 30 cents less than we were a year go.
Time to rejoice, eh? Not so fast.
"We're not out of the woods yet," said Patrick DeHaan of GasBuddy.com. "Extensive refinery maintenance continues, and should one of them fumble, prices could head the other direction again."
Some experts predict prices nationally will exceed $4 a gallon by Memorial Day, then fall in June. The current average is $3.65 a gallon across the country, compared with $4.05 in California, according to AAA, and $4.03, according to GasBuddy.com.
AAA lists prices at $4.03 in San Jose, $4.02 in Oakland, $3.98 in Vallejo, $3.97 in Santa Cruz and $3.86 in Modesto. For nearly two weeks, they've declined by a cent or more every 24 hours.
GasBuddy.com says prices are lower in every major city it tracks — some 166 across the 50 states. Some stations in the Chicago area are selling fuel for 50 cents less than a year ago.
Lower prices have eased the grumbling of motorists from coast to coast. The price break comes as a relief after the 56-cent hike from early February to early March — the largest one-month jump since 2008.
"We believe prices in 2013 generally won't be as nasty as 2012, with June being the month (with) the lowest gasoline prices for the summer," DeHaan said.
That suits Jim Reyes of Fremont just fine. He recently paid around $3.85 a gallon for a fill-up at the Costco store on Middlefield Road in Redwood City — almost 60 cents less than what he paid a few weeks ago at a nearby Shell.
"I always expect high prices on the Peninsula," the 32-year-old bartender said. "Anything under $4 seems cheap. And if I had waited to get home to get gas, I would have paid even less."
One reason for slumping prices is U.S. oil output, which rose 14 percent to 6.5 million barrels a day last year — a record increase. The U.S. is forecast to overtake Saudi Arabia by 2020 as the world's largest crude oil producer. At the same time, the U.S. demand for gas has fallen to 8.7 million barrels a day, its lowest level since 2001, as people switch to more fuel-efficient cars.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday that crude inventories surged to a nine-month high as production and imports increased.
"There's plenty of supply here," Chip Hodge, managing director at Manulife Asset Management in Boston told Bloomberg News. "The positive changes in the U.S. crude-oil production picture are mind-boggling."
But as economies in Asia and Latin America expand, their energy consumption is rising, which puts pressure on fuel supplies and prices across the globe.
China, which has overtaken the U.S. as the world's largest oil importer, is now the single biggest influence on global demand for fuel. China's consumption has risen 28 percent in five years, to 10.2 million barrels a day last year.
The Chinese economy, DeHaan said, is the "800-pound gorilla in the picture now."

- How to Read a Study Record
With increased availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and improved care, increasing numbers of perinatally infected children are surviving into adolescence. While HIV care and treatment programs are expanding, growing challenge faced by health providers and caregivers is diagnosis disclosure to HIV infected children.
The investigators propose a 4 year project to test the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioural intervention that the investigators have designed to support developmentally appropriate disclosure to HIV infected children by their caregiver.
The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will lead to increased disclosure rates and will over time improve health and mental health outcomes among caregivers and children in the intervention group compared to those receiving standard care. The findings of the study will inform Ugandan and other countries' national policies on pediatric HIV care and treatment.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Cognitive-behavioral intervention
A cognitive-behavioural intervention aimed at supporting caregivers through paediatric HIV diagnosis disclosure to the child in their care.
|Behavioral: Cognitive behavioral intervention to support pediatric HIV disclosure
|No Intervention: Standard of Care
Detailed Description:
At the end of 2009, there were an estimated 2.1 million children < 15 years living with HIV, with almost 90% residing in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In Uganda alone there are an estimated 150,000 HIV-infected children. Although disclosing to a child that he or she is infected with HIV is an important and integral part of providing comprehensive HIV medical care, studies conducted in SSA have indicated that only 2% to 37.8% of HIV-infected children < 15 years know their HIV status. Studies by the investigators' team and others have revealed a high demand by both caregivers and children for health provider-facilitated communication about HIV and disclosure to HIV-infected children. In Uganda despite the rapid expansion of HIV services for children, very few health providers receive formal training in how to support disclosure of an HIV diagnosis to an infected child. Despite the existence of international and national recommendations for disclosure there are no tested models for supporting caregivers and HIV-infected children in SSA through the process of disclosure.
This study proposes to test the effectiveness of an innovative cognitive-behavioural intervention designed to support developmentally appropriate disclosure to HIV-infected children by their caregiver. The proposed intervention builds on the investigators' team's prior research is informed by a cognitive behavioral perspective, as well as the Disclosure Processes Model. The investigators will also adapt components of a multi-faceted program for caregivers of HIV-infected children, developed by members of the investigators' team with funding support from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
Specific aims:
- To determine the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavior intervention for increasing disclosure of children's HIV diagnosis by caregivers to their HIV-infected children age 7-12 years old in Uganda.
- To determine the effect of disclosure on immediate and longer-term caregiver and child mental health, and child behavioral and clinical outcomes, and whether the intervention modifies these effects
- To assess the incremental cost, health impact, and cost-effectiveness of the intervention
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|7 Years and older (Child, Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion criteria:
- children of age 7 to 12 years;
- confirmed HIV-infected;

According to Matthew Mowery of the Oakland Press, Darin Downs remains with the team and has not been sent to the minor leagues.
@CntryStrngTgrs @Caseo4 Per the Tigers PR staff, that listing on the transaction page is inaccurate. Dunno how that got up there— Matthew B. Mowery (@matthewbmowery) July 13, 2012
The Detroit Tigers official website has been showing all day that Darin Downs had been assigned to the Toledo Mud Hens (he has also been removed from the active and 40-man rosters on the website), but apparently this is an erroneous piece of information.
If Downs is in fact still with the team, then the roster is set for now. The club officially announced that Danny Worth had been recalled earlier today.
[UPDATE:] The Tigers official website has removed the erroneous transaction and added Downs back to both the 40-man and 25-man rosters.

On a rainy Memorial Day, I submit the second draft analysis breakdown of the year, this time of Duke University wingman Gerald Henderson.
With his father being a former Celtic teammate of Larry Bird, you can probably be assured that the Pacers front office has done their homework for a long time in evaluating the Duke slashing guard. While a wing position player on first glance would not appear to be the greatest "need" for our roster, closer examination reveals an alarming lack of depth at the position behind Danny Granger and Brandon Rush. Indeed, it appears an incoming wing player will have plenty of floor minutes available to play this season, especially considering the uncertainity of Mike Dunleavy coming off a major injury. Along with that, the likely loss of Marquis Daniels in free agency in reality makes a wing player selection a strong consideration for the Pacers front office.
While there are many players in the draft who I believe are extremely difficult to evaluate, I do not feel that Henderson was one of them. In fact, I felt like his strengths and weaknesses are somewhat clear.....what will be the question is this: What VALUE does an individual team/coaching staff put on those strengths, and how well does he fit in?
One thing that makes Henderson in my opinion fairly easy to evaluate was his background. Obviously, Henderson was born into an NBA family, and has spent his life around the game. He no doubt has learned the game from some of the very best in his father (one of my favorite old time Celtics) and his outstanding college experience with Coach K. Henderson fit in very well at Duke within the style of play that the Blue Devils play, and Coach K used him very adroitly I felt like watching Henderson on film.
Since I really like how Duke plays the game from a fundamental/technique standpoint, this was one of the more enjoyable players I have had to breakdown. The skill in evaluating Henderson is trying to figure out the translation from the Duke system to how he will fit into the somewhat different life in the NBA.
Offensively, Henderson has clear strongpoints, and a couple of glaring weaknesses.
His ability to come off screens, read them correctly, and then use his athleticism to drive to the basket is his biggest attribute. Henderson is a superior athlete, with the ability to finish in traffic with authority, and will likely be, early in his career at least, a strong candidate to be one of the better dunkers in the league. He has a great first step and superior balance. His fundamentals on squaring up, turning low and quickly into a triple threat position are among the better I have seen.
He will be a player who, depending on the matchups, will be able to score in clearout situations. This won't be his strong suit, but it will be something he can do more than most wings in this draft. He will be particularly good at moving without the ball, as he cuts extremely well and has the ability to get open without the benefit of a screen, something a player like Stephon Curry for instance cannot seemingly do. His ability to drive the basket will let him get many free throw attempts, which will make him doubly tough to guard for most defenders.
He will be a factor in a screen/roll situation with the ball in his hand.....but mainly in order to score himself, not to create a shot for someone else. I do not find Henderson to be selfish in anyway, but I don't think he is a particularly good passer, nor does he have great vision. Perhaps a symptom of having superior athleticism and confidence, Henderson shows a tendency to try and finish the play himself rather than look for others, although in fairness he really didn't have anyone inside to pass to anyway at Duke,
Henderson's perimeter shot is inconsistent at best. He has the ability to get very hot, and the tendency to get very cold. This is not a symptom of taking bad shots or making bad decisions on whether to shoot or not...its just a lack of shooting skill. He sometimes is a player who will make a great move, beat his man, get into the paint, rise up for a somewhat easy shot then miss it off the front rim. In his formative years, my presumption is that he never needed to shoot that well, as his very athletic nature enabled him to blow by people at will. That won't always be the case in the NBA, so he will need to be able to make some jump shots on a more consistent, night after night basis.
I know this will somewhat contradict myself, but I can easily see Henderson developing into a good standstill, three point set shooter at some point in his career. He strikes me as someone who will work at the game at the next level, and that will clearly be something he can do to extend his usefullness after his athleticism fades away with time.
Duke had no decent point guard, so they didn't run as much as you would think, and that limited his transition chances. He obviously can dunk on a break, and he sometimes will just fly over a defender, particularly when he can go off one leg. I did see one somewhat disconcerting habit with him in transition, in that I thought he often took awkward angles in toward the rim. Often I heard television announcers criticize whoever had the ball in the middle of a Duke fastbreak for poor passes or decisions, but quite a few times it was actually Henderson running too "parallel" to the lane line instead of fanning out near half court and running into the rim at a good 45 degree angle.
I also have one suspected flaw in Henderson that I will not be able to proe or know, but the other NBA teams actually making decisions will: My guess is, from all circumstantial evidence admittedly, is that Henderson has smaller hands than you would suspect a player of his size to have. I think that affects the way way he holds the ball to shoot jumpers, particularly the way he has to gather it up from a dribble to get in shooting position. I also think that contributes to not being as good a free throw shooter as you would expect, and the fact that Henderson misses a dunk every once in a while, more than you would expect. Thats just one thing to keep in mind as more information comes available, if it ever does.
Henderson has one other huge offensive weakness: He has a real preference for driving to his right, more so than almost any other player I've broken down in a while. Many teams at the college level played him at a severe overplay and had success, Virginia Tech being one team that did so more and more each time they played. Forcing him left often forced Henderson to drive, beat his man slightly, but then have to rise and take a jumpshot, which again looked like a good shot but he more often than not missed in that situation. Again, I didn't think it was so much the dribbling left, but I thought he looked uncomfortable in gathering the ball upward going that direction, which left his hand position slightly off when going that way....which caused misses.
Henderson shoots a little flat anyway, so when his rhythm and hand position is off slightly he pushes the ball and it becomes a line drive almost. His fundamentals tend to come and go while shooting, my guess as to why is the small hand theory, but it might be that he simply just isnt that good.....every player has weaknesses, that might just be his!
Where Henderson is a joy to watch for me was on the defensive end of the floor. Henderson applied EXTREME pressure on his man in Duke's high pressure defensive system. Henderson did almost everything you'd want a defender to do well....he denied wing passes and forced his man out further than he wanted to catch the ball, he pressured the ball and DICTATED where the ball was dribbled, instead of just being reactionary. Henderson shows active hands, making it tough for his man to pass easily.
Henderson is a very good defender on the ball, so much so that I believe at the next level he can defend smaller point guards when asked to do so. He gets in a low defensive stance and really gets in people's grill, taking pride in being a good on ball defender. I think Henderson can be a defensive stopper on the quicker scoring oriented smaller players in the league, like Monta Ellis, Gilbert Arenas, Allen Iverson types, and he would be a very tough defender on smaller 2 guards, such as our own Jarrett Jack or the Bulls Ben Gordon. Henderson's relentless nature and intelligence running around screens would make him a good defensive matchup for a player who moves without the ball well, like Richard Hamilton or Ray Allen. Only a slight lack of height will keep Henderson from being an all world defender, as some bigger players will simply shoot over him.
His lack of height is somewhat of an issue, I shouldn't sugarcoat this fact. You will lack a little flexibility when pairing him with your other wings...with us, this means that Rush or Granger when paired with Henderson will always need to defend the bigger wing, no matter who that is. In some cases that will be a problem. It also will hurt him in closing out on perimeter shooters, and defending guys who just launch jumpers over him. I will say this however: Henderson can jump, and he knows to contest shots with his hands high. Ilook forward to watching elite shooters try that pull up jumper on him, just to see if he can stop on a dime, leap up with them and bother the shot. Only elite defenders can do that....I look forward to watching to see if Henderson can.
Away from the ball, Henderson is good as well. He is smart and plays into the system. He can block shots a little, but usually its the more difficult block guarding his own man. Away from the ball he is more likely to play conservatively and just force players to take tougher shots, or slide in front of them and take charges. Henderson has been taught very well defensively, again no surprise considering his background.
So, where do we stand?
Q. Is Henderson good enough offensively to run plays for?
Probably not on a consistent basis, but there will be nights that he will be. Likely projects as a streaky scorer, explosive some nights and totally off on others.
Q. Can Henderson ever swing over and play the point?
On offense absolutely not, he is clearly a wing only offensively, due to his lack of passing instincts, vision, lack of a left hand, etc etc.
Q. Can Henderson play the point defensively?
Absolutely....ideal pairing for Henderson would be to play with a bigger point guard who needed some help defending quickness.
Q. Can Henderson play defense well enough to be an elite defensive stopper?
Yes, especially if he is allowed to pressure the ball like he is capable, and deny people passes, etc etc. He will struggle guarding players bigger than he is I think, but against smaller scorers Henderson projects to be a defensive weapon I think.
Q. How would Henderson fit in with the Pacers, both immediately and into the future?
He clearly fits a need, as we need a wing who can play defense and bring energy behind Granger and Rush. There are about 30 minutes a night off the bench for a wing to play for us I think....Henderson would be a nice fit there I think.
The pros would be that we know he is intelligent, comes from a winning background, and can respond to coaching. We know he will be well known to our fan base, popular with kids and old folks alike. We know that he improves our defense immediately, if he is allowed to play the way he can play in terms of applying pressure out on the floor. We know his motion offense background fits him here, as Henderson can get open on his own and drive to the lane maybe better than anyone we have.
Negatives would be that we would be drafting a backup wing instead of a starter somewhere else, and that wings are the easiest position to fill on a basketball team. It's also unclear to me that the defensive accolades I gave Henderson for denying wing entry passes and pressuring the ball would be appreciated by the conservative, sagging overhelping system employed by Jim O'Brien.
In fact, although we as fans will likely never know this, my guess is that Larry Bird will love Henderson's game, while Jim O'Brien won't. If true, wouldn't THOSE conversations be fun to listen to in the Pacers draft war room?
If available at #13, I believe that Gerald Henderson has a strong likelihood of being taken by Indiana, under the following conditions:
1. The Pacers either plan to bring both Jarrett Jack and TJ Ford back next season, or have a plan to obtain a later pick in the first round somehow to get a point guard later to replace whichever one of those two they dont bring back.
2. The Pacers have some plan to somehow obtain another inside player thru a trade or free agency.
3. The Pacers think they can play Granger limited minutes at the 4 spot, enabling us to play Rush, Granger, and Henderson spot minutes all together at the same time.
I think Henderson being available when we select on draft night will be one of the most interesting possibilities of the entire night to talk about.
I also think an extraordinarily fascinating decision will be Charlotte's selection. Henderson would fit Larry Brown and his system perfectly defensively, but I also suspect Brown will be looking for someone to run plays for off screens to shoot jump shots, and Henderson isnt that guy....quite frankly Wayne Ellington probably is the closest to that type in this draft.
Ultimately, I think the Bobcats end up signing Allen Iverson to fill that scoring role, so I think Henderson gets picked ahead of us by Charlotte and we never are able to pick Henderson. Time will tell if I am right.
Who does Henderson compare to?
Defensively, he is closer to Raja Bell in size, ability, and toughness, but he will be slightly better than that as a scorer.
I will go ahead and call him a smaller, much better teammate and attitude version of Stephen Jackson.
Going into the near past, I would compare Henderson to a poor man's Latrell Spreewell, with a much better attitude of course.
As always, the above is just my opinion.

Rowling will write the script for the first film in the series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, making her screenwriting debut, the studio said on Thursday in a statement.
The work is based on a fictional textbook used by students at the Hogwarts wizard school attended by Harry Potter in Rowling's best-selling books.
Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for 17 years, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world," Rowling said in the statement.
The new story will start in New York, 70 years before the events in the original Harry Potter series, she said. BLOOMBERG

Now comes Saturday's trip to Penn State, a program IU has never beaten. The Hoosiers (4-6) must win to keep hopes of bowl eligibility. The postseason-banned Nittany Lions (4-6) must win for pride.
Something will give and for Indiana offensive coordinator Seth Littrell, it's simple.
"We've got to compete. I tell our guys every day, when we go on the field, don't worry about the score. I don't care if you're down 14 or up 14, you've got to compete. That means being a physical team. It means hitting people It means not shying down to anything.
"At times we've done a good job with that. At other times, we haven't. At the end of the game, if you compete hard and do your job for four quarters, look at the scoreboard. More times than not, good things will happen."
They did not happen in the 62-14 loss to Wisconsin, and through embarrassment comes resolve. Co-defensive coordinator Mike Ekeler, refreshingly passionate and quotable, took the blame for the defensive collapse, calling it unacceptable and saying that if the Hoosiers ever play that poorly again, he'll put his house up for sale, suggesting he'd either quit or be fired.
Tight end Ted Bolser insisted the future is bright.
"We can be one of the best offenses in the Big Ten. The defense struggled in the last game, but in the previous games they held their own. If we just come out firing in all calibers and know what we're doing, who knows what we can do?"
Coach Kevin Wilson pushes a let's-move-on theme.
"We asked our guys, are we strong enough to continue to be what we want to be and go back and keep building? We didn't point a bunch of fingers.
"I would love to see these men come back and respond to what our standard is. They have set the standard. We set it, but they embrace it. I'd love to see these guys come back. If we're building our program, this is a good week to see what we've got.
"I'm looking forward to seeing it. It's going to be a tough challenge. It's a good team we're facing. It's a good place to go play. They're going to be in our division every year and we're going to play them every year and every other year we're going over there. We have to keep pushing, so we'll see what we've got."
Penn State bounced back from its 0-2 start with five straight victories. But losses to Ohio State and Nebraska in recent weeks have jolted that momentum.
Then quarterback Matt McGloin touched a conspiracy note when commenting on a controversial call near the end of the Nebraska game. Officials ruled a fumble on what appeared to be a Penn State go-ahead touchdown.
"We're not going to get that call ever, against any team," McGloin said. "It doesn't matter who the referees are." When asked to elaborate, McGloin said, "Why do you think it is? Write what you think."
While unstated, it seemed McGloin was implying the call was the result of the sex abuse scandal involving former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Coach Bill O'Brien then made McClain made unavailable to the media this week.
That will have no bearing on Saturday's game. Penn State's talent and experience will, Bolser said.
"They're big, strong guys. They started a little slow, but they have really picked it up. They're a lot better than they were in the beginning of the season. We have to play our 'A' game to beat them."
McGloin paces the Big Ten's second-best passing attack, trailing only Indiana. The Nittany Lions average 268.8 yards passing a game (IU is at 293.2). McGloin is the conference's top passer with 2,676 yards, 19 touchdowns and four interceptions. Receiver Allen Robinson leads the conference in receptions (63), yards (786) and touchdowns (eight).
The Nittany Lions defense rates with the Big Ten's best, allowing just 18.6 points. And while NCAA sanctions, the scandal and overall struggles continue to hinder Penn State, Wilson sees plenty to concern him.
"If you're going to play in the Big Ten, you've got to learn to win in challenging road environments with big crowds that are loud in big stadiums," he said. "That's the beauty of playing in the Big Ten. If our guys didn't want to do that they should have taken a smaller offer and went somewhere else."
As for IU's 0-15 record against Penn State, Wilson sees it as an opportunity.
"Let's embrace the challenge," he said. "It's more about the challenge of just playing a great opponent that you're going to play every year than really talking about the history. It's really nice though that you can do something that hasn't been done, but at the same time it's about preparation, executing, and for us, it's about a positive response that came out of a poor performance. How do we come back?"

Cooking Performance Group or Gen2: Choosing the Best Charbroiler
Any time you purchase an appliance, especially a commercial appliance for a restaurant, it requires a lot of research before you pull the plug and decide on the perfect model. You have to consider the size of the space you have, the features you require, the warranty and service, and, of course, the price. That is why we're offering up this handy comparison guide of Cooking Performance Group (CPG) and Gen2 commercial charbroilers to help expedite your decision process.
Charbroiler Size
The standard sizes for most charbroilers are 24", 36" and 48". Both Gen2 and CPG offer chargrill units at this size in both radiant and lava rock. CPG does have a 15" lava rock model as well, but that's the only real difference in the two's lineups of charbroilers, and unless you have a very tiny commercial kitchen, you wouldn't want to sacrifice the additional cooking space by getting such a small char grill.
Charbroiler Features
When it comes to buying a restaurant charbroiler, one of the first things you'll want to know is the difference between radiant and lava rock models. Many people agree that lava rock charbroilers produce a better grill flavor than radiant models, but they don't last as long as radiant charbroilers because of the porous lava rock. It's your, or rather your customer's, preference on this one.
Both CPG and Gen2 have lava or char-rock broilers and radiant charbroilers. The Gen2 charbroiler models have the option of a slanting the cooking surface, so a variety of meats can be cooked at the same time at different temperatures.
Charbroiler Warranty
Both brands have comparable warranties, but while CPG's warranty begins on the original date of purchase, Gen2 cooking equipment warranties start on the date of installation. Depending on how long it takes the charbroiler to arrive, you could lose a week or more on your warranty with a CPG model.
Charbroiler Cost
The two brands have been fairly similar so far, but where Gen2 products really pull ahead is in the value you receive for such a low price.
ShortOrder, the manufacturer of Gen2 cooking equipment, offers a low-price guarantee, meaning they will beat any competitor's legitimately advertised price on any comparable item in their inventory and still ship the item to you for free! You will be refunded 110% of the difference on the item from another restaurant equipment dealer.
Final Tally
In the end, Gen2 restaurant equipment is the clear winner in this comparison. The value you receive on their products, not just their charbroilers, surpasses anything their competitors can provide.
If you still need help choosing the perfect charbroiler, or any other commercial cooking equipment, feel free to contact ShortOrder.com at 800-211-0282.

NUMBER one Peter Kildemand goes into tomorrow night's meeting at Poole still on a crest of a wave after helping Denmark to World Cup glory at the weekend.
The 24-year-old scored seven points to help his side to victory in the final at Bydgoszcz, but it was Niels-Kristian Iversen who was the last-gasp hero as he rounded Pole Janusz Kolodziej in the final corner of the last race of the night to steal the crown from the hosts by a single point.
Such is the life of a speedway rider, Kildemand and his teammates were not able to celebrate their victory for long before their focus switched to Polish league racing the following day, but the Robins number one is still glowing from what he and his team's achievement.
"It was amazing because coming away from my first World Cup with a gold medal is exactly what we dreamed of and it was an amazing night," he said.
"Niels rode a superb race (to pass Kolodziej to win the meeting) and we were all watching from the pits and went mad when he passed him.
"We went back to the hotel and had a few beers but we had to be up early to ride on Sunday in Poland, but it was great to be able to celebrate."
Kildemand returns to Robins action against Poole tonight as the Robins go in search of a play-off place, with the Dane convinced they have a real chance of making the post season.
"We need to get as many points as we can at Poole and then with our home matches we need to win them all, but we have a chance," he said.
"Poole are a good team so it's going to be difficult down there but we can all ride the track okay and if we can get a bonus point at least then I think that will be alright for us.
"The matches (against Coventry) are the ones we need to win and if we do that then we really have a good chance because they are looking at the play-offs too.
"I think we can do it but we need to win all our home meetings and get as many points as we can away from home."

Two people were involved in a traffic collision on the Bradford Road near Box this morning.
A white Nissan Micra driven by a man from Box collided with a blue Toyota Aygo driven by a woman from the Trowbridge area around 9.14am this morning, about a third of a mile from the fiveways junction.
Police and ambulance crews were on the scene, where the two patients were assessed. The male driver was cleared while the woman was taken to Trowbridge Community Hosptial with minor injuries.
The road was closed by Wiltshire Council, who had moved both cars by 9.36am, and gritted the road surface.
It has now been reopened, but police are advising motorists take care as the road is still very slippery.

TPWD Adopts Changes to Mule Deer MLDP, Pronghorn Seasons
AUSTIN — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has approved an experimental pronghorn buck season in some areas of the Panhandle, which would allow landowners to control the harvest of buck pronghorn on their properties. In addition, an extension to the existing mule deer managed lands deer permits (MLDP) season will be part of changes to the upcoming 2013-14 Statewide Hunting Proclamation.
Under the current statewide regulations, TPWD determines the harvest quota and issues permits directly to landowners for surplus pronghorn. With the new pronghorn rules, landowners or their agents within selected pronghorn management units in the northeast and northwest Panhandle would determine the harvest quota and control buck pronghorn harvest on their property during the three-year pilot project.
The goal of the project is to simplify pronghorn hunting regulations and increase hunting opportunity in areas with stable populations. Wildlife officials will closely monitor pronghorn herds during the pilot project to ensure populations remain healthy.
TPWD is also extending the mule deer season on MLDP properties through the last Sunday in January while maintaining the current opening date (first Saturday in November).

What are the laws regarding firearms in Canada? Or is this the domain of the provinces? In that case what are the laws regarding the use and possession of weapons in BC?
Can you legally shoot a home invader or someone who threatens you with violence? I am totally not clear on the laws regarding self-defense/defense-of-others
Ok! Seriously now, what they should teach in school, in addition to reading and arithmetic is: democracy, driving, permaculture, cooking, law, and taxes. They say ignorance is no defense, but honestly in the real world it is - but the law is harsh this way, you can be breaking the law and not even know it - the law is too fracking complex and often absurd - they don't even enforce a lot of it. The legal system is no Justice system, but a murky gray pool of precedents decided by judges appointed by officials distant from the people.
Use of deadly force varies by country, state, and situation. In my state, I have no duty to retreat if I am somewhere I am legally allowed to be and I am in fear of my life or the life of others. I am not allowed to use deadly force for simple assault, but as soon as a weapon is involved, so long as I'm in fear of my life or for the life of others, precedent shows that I'm allowed to use deadly force. The weapon also only needs to be one that could cause great bodily harm or death. For example if I'm attacked with a knife, bat, tire iron, whip, crossbow, etcetera, I would be able to use a firearm to protect my life.
People would still commit murder without guns, but guns sure are a lot more efficient at killing people than fists are. Looking through the stats, whether a country has legal/high gun ownership or not doesn't seem to have a definitive effect on the amount of firearm homicide. In switzerland where EVERY adult male is required by law to have a gun, the homicide rate is a lot lower than the USA. In south Africa, where gun ownership is a lot lower than in the USA, firearm homicide is much higher.
Having a gun and choosing to use it are two different things. The problem in the US seems to be that a lot of people are choosing to use them. If you didn't have a gun and murdering people had to be up close and personal, would fewer people want to get their hands dirty? I don't know but Less guns would certainly lower the accidental death from firearms rate, which the US has one of the highest in the world.
"You know a gun never killed nobody
You can ask anyone
People get shot by people
People with guns" - Freddie Mercury.
Highest rate of accidental firearm deaths per year. RATE. In 2009 the firearm accident death rate was at an all-time annual low, 0.2 per 100,000 population, down 94% since the all-time high in 1904. That is 1 person out of every 500,000 people. Falling accounts for more accidental deaths then firearms. Let's make falling illegal. It certainly kills a lot of people.
i'm glad the numbers are dropping.
firstly, the term they used is "unintentional" and perhaps that includes other things that "accidental" doesn't, I should have written unintentional. secondly my figures were from 1993 which is a while back, but the figure then was 0.59 per 100,000 population, and that is the same figure as the amount of homicides per capita in Greece, and there are a LOT of countries (including Australia, Britain, Poland and many more) who have a lower gun homicide rate than the US had for unintentional deaths. So I thought the figure was significant enough to mention.
Regardless of how many people actually die unintentionally from negligent use, it would be ZERO if there were no guns. People would still die from falling unless we could eliminate gravity. We can't.
We could say that there would be no automobile accidents if people didn't drive, and that if everyone was a vegan we'd probably all but eliminate cononary disease, but it's not going to haapen.
Gun ownership is a choice, just like almost ever other thing on earth that's likely to kill us.
Hi Noah,
your missing my point, my earlier post before this was concluding that gun ownership may not particularly lead to more homicide overall (without guns people kill in different ways), and that the only thing that would radically change if we got rid of guns would be unintentional death. Travis then pointed out that the amount of people killed in this way had dropped to a point where it was negligible and I pointed out in retort that it would still be less if there were no guns. Valid argument, yes, useful argument, not really.
the reason they can own lots of guns in switzerland and not kill each other, but the US has a very high homicide rate out of all developed nations is in my belief down to social disparity, gun ownership may have an effect but its social issues that cause the homicides.
I would make an observation though that most Americans seem to feel gun ownership is their right, in England where gun laws are very tight I can't think of anyone I know who has ever expressed that they need a gun for protection... who's right? either or niether, but its interesting that the opinion may be based around how you are brought up, and if they had decided to write on the constitution that no man may own a firearm opinions may be very different in the US today... who knows!

SWINDON St George pulled off the biggest upset of the season to reach the West of England Premier League grand final by beating the undefeated Cheltenham Old Patesians last Saturday.
Having only been entered into the end of season play-offs after the withdrawal of Bristol Sonics the Swindon side went into the game as underdogs. Cheltenham had only once been held to a winning margin of less than 10 all season.
St George found themselves 18 points up within the first 20 minutes and never fell behind. Four tries from Bruce Vuethanatotoka, two from Joe Zarit and one each from John Singfield, George Cowley and Killian Spain, as well as three conversions from Gwyn Jenkins saw the Greenbridge Road side to 42-36 victory.
Assistant coach Carl Baker was very proud of his team's performance and delighted with the resilience they showed against a team he described as the best in the league.
"We went there knowing everyone thought we would be defeated. We had nothing to lose and nothing to prove to anyone except ourselves," Baker told the Advertiser.
"George (Cowley, the captain) pulled us to one side and said we had to play our own game. That was our only gameplan, we'll do what we do and see what happens.
"After the first quarter of the game we were 18-0 and at that point we realised we had a chance of doing this.
"We gathered again and had a stern talk, saying: 'Do not get complacent, think we've won this or back off'. It's happened before where we have been up and been a bit cocksure, end up relaxing and losing.
"There was a point in the second half where our heads dropped and they got back to within two points but we held out.
"It was a simple case of a rugby league team playing a union side. They're a very good union team and we were playing league but it just worked for us as soon as we started to get ahead they started to so their frustration. They could not believe we were doing it and then they dropped off their game.
"Six minutes from the end and two points up we managed to get a turnover and scored off that to get the ball back and another set of six. So with one minute of the game left we had our fifth tackle and kicked down field. Three of our guys gave chase, their full-back panicked and turned the ball over. At this point some players started cheering but I told them to shut up and keeping playing that last minute.
"When the ref blew for full time the cheers went up and you could all the friends and family from all over the field, it's a really good feeling to hear that and know it's for you.
"We were a new team, at the start of the season everyone had a new player outside them. As the season's progressed you can see our scores going up and the opposition's going down and now the wins have started coming.
"We are now a group of friends who play rugby league together and that's special. To turnover the undefeated minor champions goes to show when a group of guys build that skill set, gain confidence and learn their own game you can achieve things."
St George now take on Gloucestershire Warriors in the league grand final this Saturday.

It's pretty much from the files of "Duh", but it does have some interesting tidbits...
By Michael Marot, The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS Edgerrin James may not be packing his bags anytime soon. Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian said Thursday he thought it was unlikely James would be traded on draft weekend.
"I think that would be far-fetched," Polian said. "Barring trade discussions in the normal course of events, he's not going anywhere."
Polian could merely be maintaining a poker face as he and other NFL executives are prone to do in the days leading up to the NFL draft.
Even if he is bluffing, trade talk has continued to swirl around the Colts' career rushing leader.
Last month, James signed the Colts' one-year tender worth about $8 million for 2005. That decision came one week after Polian gave agent Drew Rosenhaus permission to shop the 26-year-old James for less than a first-round pick. Rosenhaus hasn't yet found a taker.
James, a two-time NFL rushing champ and three-time Pro Bowler, wants a long-term contract, something Polian believes would be prohibitive for a team that has locked up quarterback Peyton Manning, wide receivers Marvin Harrison and Brandon Stokley and right tackle Ryan Diem to lucrative deals.
Still, Rosenhaus remains hopeful he can either reach a deal with the Colts or find another team willing to make a trade, perhaps this weekend.
"I would certainly not be surprised if something happened during or after the draft," Rosenhaus told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "I think a lot of the teams that may be interested in Edgerrin also may be calculating what they're going to do in the draft."
This year's class of running backs is expected to be one of the deepest in years. At least three players Auburn's Ronnie Brown and Carnell Williams and Texas' Cedric Benson are projected to go in the first round.
On Thursday, though, Polian made his strongest statement yet that James wasn't going anywhere.
"Who would you trade him for?" Polian said. "We could trade his contract, but we're not going to, absent someone offering me half of Circle Centre Mall and even then I don't know if I'd do it. We still may not trade him."
So the Colts, the only NFL franchise not to sign a veteran free agent from another team this offseason, are focusing on improving their Super Bowl aspirations through the draft.
Indianapolis has nine picks in the two-day draft, which begins Saturday morning. Their first pick will be No. 29.
One concern Polian has is that he does not believe this is a deep draft. Polian said he has fewer than 150 players on the Colts draft board, the lowest number he has ever had going into a draft weekend.
And he acknowledged that the Colts could still be active traders, even if James isn't involved.
Polian said the Colts have already been asked if they're interested in a top 10 pick. His answer: No.
Other teams asked the Colts if they wanted to move into the top 20.
"The answer to that is we won't know until we know who is left," Polian said.
The more likely scenario may be trading down. Last year, the Colts traded down twice before taking safety Bob Sanders in the second round. Polian also traded down in 2001 when he took wide receiver Reggie Wayne.
While most analysts figure the Colts will again focus on defense as they have done in each of Tony Dungy's first three drafts with Indianapolis Polian could just as easily dispel that theory as he did when using first-round picks on Wayne and tight end Dallas Clark in 2003.
Of the nine players the Colts have targeted, Polian said only five are defenders.
The most telling sign about James' future could be whether the Colts take a running back on the first day, a tactic Polian did not rule out.
If the Colts do draft one of the top running backs, the choice would likely become James' eventual replacement and could give the Colts more leverage if James was traded.
Until then, Polian expects James to be back with the Colts.
"You never say never," Polian said. "But my thought is that he signed the tender so he's happy with the offer, we're happy with him, so let's go play."

Billeaud: Moral soul of country is important
October 20, 2012
More important than one's political and economic preferences, more important than the personalities of the candidates, more important than potential Supreme Court appointments, or the threat of future wars, more important than all of these things is the abiding moral soul of this country itself; which is being trampled and dragged through the mud with the thuggery and racism and hatred and intimidation and suppression being waged by the supporters of Willard Mitt Romney. A vote for this candidate, in light of all these well-documented activities being conducted on his behalf, is a vote for the end of the United States of America. History has shown what happens to a nation when it empowers those who embrace such tactics. The facts cannot be denied, and the fate cannot be escaped, if this is allowed to happen here. A stark choice, a less than ideal choice, but a very, very clear choice. Which will you chose, America?
Ed Billeaud, Breckenridge

Hyundai, Kia Must Provide More Answers to Senate About False MPG Claims

Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach their customers by December 14, 2012
Hyundai Motors Co. and Kia Motors are both in hot water
over exaggerated estimated gas mileage claims
, and the senate wants answers.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee who oversees auto issues, wants Hyundai and Kia to explain how it will reach and compensate its 900,000 customers after inflating its MPG claims.
So far, Hyundai and Kia have said they would reimburse customers and add a 15 percent premium by sending out debit cards that can be reloaded in the future. The automakers could spend over $100 million compensating for their exaggerations.
"While I believe this is a positive step, I am concerned that many affected customers may not learn about the program or may find it burdensome to participate in the program," said Rockefeller.
Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach these customers by December 14, 2012.
The Kia Soul got hit hard with the revised EPA ratings
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
From there, the EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were inflated. The same goes for Kia. Both Kia and Hyundai will be lowering the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models after EPA testing discovered a gap between its data and what both of the companies are claiming.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold since late 2010. Reports show that Hyundai alone
could spend $100 million
trying to fix the fiasco.
Some of the MPG window stickers that will require a change include the Hyundai Accent and the Kia Soul ECO. The Accent had its 30/40/33 (city/highway/combined) rating drop to 28/37/31. The Kia Soul ECO saw the biggest drop of any affected model going from 27/35/30 to 24/29/26.

Immune Respone BioPharma, Inc. Today Announces it will seek emergency approval of REMUNE in Thailand as well begin stockpiling & manufacturing the HIV/AIDS vaccine once we have an agreement in place with the Thailand officials.
Overseas Countries interested in licensing REMUNE from Immune Response BioPharma, Inc. should contact us @ email@example.com or Dr. Jeffrey Taylor of NW Clinical Research @ www.nwclinicalresearch.com
REMUNE is a therapeutic vaccine designed to elicit immune responses against a variety of HIV antigens in patients with HIV. It consists of a suspension of killed HIV-1 virus particles that have been emulsified with Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA, a mixture of mannide mono-oleate and a highly purified mineral oil).
REMUNE® is derived from Zairian HIV-1 strain HZ-321, composed of gp 120-depleted HIV-1 propagated in HUT-78 cells and inactivated in beta-propiolactone and irradiation. The inactivated material is emulsified with mineral oil (Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant) at 1:1 ratio. Each 1 ml dose (at least 100µg or 10 units) has viral protein and p24.
These previous clinical studies of REMUNE®have demonstrated distinct benefits in both immunologic and virologic parameters in HIV-1 infected individuals undergoing treatment. Subjects undergoing treatment with REMUNE®showed improvements in percentage of CD4 cells, HIV-1 DNA in PBMCs, and weight. Previous studies also indicate that REMUNE®can safely be given in combination with antiviral drugs.
IR103/Remune,unlike antiviral drugs, can induce an HIV-specific response, which is now thought by numerous researchers to be important in controlling HIV replication. Remune has been administered to over 2,000 patients in over 25 separate clinical trials, has an excellent safety profile, is well tolerated and is easy to administer via intramuscular injection in the deltoid muscle.
Data from clinical trials of Remune suggest that it may:
Induce a HIV-specific T-cell response; work in Patients with Multi-Drug Resistance
Induce cytokines and chemokines, substances that interfere with the virus attaching to and infecting normal cells;
Work with antiretroviral drugs as a complementary treatment for HIV infection;
Work in drug-naïve patients to delay the need for initiation of HAART; and
Be safe with no adverse side effects, Reduce Viral Load, Increase CD4+ T cells & CD8+ T Cell Counts

Beit Issie Shapiro's (BISYP) second annual Soccer-thon, dubbed "Kicking for Kids," raised $8,300 for children in Israel suffering disabilities. Last year, the organization raised $1,800.
Some 100 soccer players ranging in age from 20 to 50 took part in the event at the Astra SportsPlex on Rutherford Road in Vaughan, Ont.
Divided into 10 teams, they played three-on-three soccer games in a round-robin format.
Children cheered on the adults, and the sounds of "vuvuzelas" (plastic horns) added to the festive atmosphere. Children enjoyed a kids zone before the games began.
Team Min2 raised the most money for the charity, while Brian Singer was acknowledged for raising the most money through sponsorship.
All proceeds from the Soccer-thon will go to support Beit Issie Shapiro in Israel, a leading innovator of new therapies for children and adults with disabilities. Over the past 30 years, the organization has grown from serving 16 children to assisting some 30,000 people every year.
Beit Issie Shapiro also helps train thousands of therapists in Israel and conducts research. The organization has been a leader in promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities into society and advocating for better legal provisions for people with disabilities.
Gilad Epstein and BISYP's young professionals group organized the event.
Beit Issie Shapiro was named Israel's most effective non-profit organization in 2011 by Midot, a group that monitors the effectiveness of Israel's charitable sector.

" Address: Chester Road / Northophall Village / Flintshire / Wales "
If you believe the marketing people then Northop Hall is the premiere place in Wales to hold a civil wedding. Having spent an evening there recently at a wedding there I'd beg to differ.
The hall is in a fabulous location, the grounds are superb, theres ample parking for around 40 cars and seating for around 60 guests wedged in like sardines in rows too close together to shuffle between. The room sanctioned for the ceremony would once have been absolutely stunning but was rather tired looking and could have done with a fresh coat of paint to spruce it up.
The entrance lobby boast a huge staircase but this opens onto an equally enormous door which sucks all the heat out of the building. Despite several archaic radiators and an enormous open fire one minute you were baking and the next the door opened and the temperature dropped significantly. Rather strangely the hotel lobby was full of tourist leaflets which detracted for the grandeur of the setting.
The reception room boasts authentic dark wood panelling and huge windows which would be rather majestic with fabulous views were it not for them being etched with the hotel name at eyeball level on each and every pane lest you forget precisely where you are. There are plenty of enormous picnic tables outside for summer months but no where for smokers to shelter in the bleak welsh winters.
Those with SatNavs were a tad confused by the hotels Chester postcode despite it being in Wales. Garmin owners didn't realise they needed to change the country and so struggled to find the place.
Dinner was quite frankly disappointing. A rather nice soup with a very dry bread roll was swiftly followed by chicken legs wrapped in bacon served with two roast potatoes and a selection of serve it yourself vegetables which were confiscated before we'd finished eating without asking I'd we'd like more. The service would have been more suited to a speed dating evening than a formal wedding. Barely had you finished the last mouthful than your plate had been whisked away and the next course appeared in its place. Desert was a mass produced tasteless cheesecake unimaginatively presented and unevenly cut with some guests receiving enormous portions whilst others were consumed in three small mouthfuls. Lukewarm coffee arrived in demitasse cups before we were evicted from our seats to make way for the live band.
The bar was overpriced but you come to expect that at isolated venues.
The toilets were nothing short of grotty with fag burns on the seats, peeling paint and taps which struggled to provide a trickle of lukewarm water. Not quite what you'd expect from the myriad of brochures describing it as a tastefully decorated Victorian mansion decorated to the highest standard.
Some friends were getting hitched in Northop in Flintshire, and although we're not a million miles away, we decided that we'd book a hotel for the night so that we didn't need to bother to drive (and also have a couple of celebratory drinks...).
If you've ever tried to book a hotel in this area, then you'll know that they're not exactly overrun with choice. We didn't want to spend too much, given that we'd be pretty much dumping our bags, going to the wedding, then crashing out. Just a clean room for the night with good shower facilities would be fine.
I booked the hotel via Late Rooms after skim reading the reviews on Trip Advisor (a fantastic website). The reviews were lukewarm, but I figured it was a step up from the local Travelodge. It was about £50 for the Travelodge for room only, but about £75 for the 'nicer' hotel - and with breakfast to boot too.
The hotel itself is located on pretty nice spacious grounds - quite pretty surroundings for a wedding, I thought (although the wedding that we were attending wasn't held there). The drive in is quite pleasant... and the car park is free. A good thing. I hate it when you have to pay to park at a hotel.
After the pretty views of the grounds, my first impressions of the hotel were... um, very average. This is not a grand hotel (it's 3*, incidently). It looked a bit on the run down side. A little bit shabby, but not 'shabby chic', sadly.
As we entered the main entrance, we found that we couldn't move any further. There was a bridal party having their photos taken on the staircase! Unfortunately, there aren't any alternative routes to reception, so we waited patiently until the wedding party had dissipated a little to allow us room to slink through. Not that I was bothered - I love weddings!
The check in process was easy enough and the receptionist was very friendly and polite, giving a warm welcome. We were given our key card and we went up to our allocated room.
From reading some reviews, I think that some of the rooms had been renovated and others hadn't. Seeing the wedding party dashed my hopes of getting a decent room. I was sure that the wedding guests would get the best, newest rooms...
This was confirmed when I opened the door. Shabby. It was decorated in 'country hall hotel' style, but it looked like the décor had seen better far days. For example, the carpet looked worn; there were marks on the walls, everywhere looked like it needed a damn good clean. The bathroom also looked the same - a bit grubby looking. I noted the smears on the mirror... Hmm, I knew looking at it that I'd wait until I got home for a shower.
Fortunately, because of the wedding, I didn't need to spend too long in the room, basically just crashing and then waking up in the morning and getting ready.
In fairness, the restaurant area where you have breakfast is nice... airy, bright.... this is a new addition to the rest of the old hotel (which actually dates back to 1872). Service was very average and some waitresses seemed to lack experience. If you're veggie, don't expect any 'special' treatment (me: 'Can you do a vegetarian cooked breakfast?' Waitress (after checking with chef): 'no'. Me: 'right'.). Then, I noticed that there was a table with silver tray thingys on. Ah, that'd be breakfast then. Coffee and toast is brought out to your table, but most of the cooked breakfast options are offered as buffet-style. In the end, I had scrambled egg and toast with beans.
Checking out was a smooth and painless process, but by then, I couldn't wait to get out to the fresh air. Partly to do with the after-effects of booze, but also to do with the gloominess and 'oldness' of the place.
I was pleased to get in the car and leave.
In fairness, my opinion of the hotel might've been different if I'd stayed in one of the better rooms. However, all in all, I would say this is one to avoid.
The hall is secluded in over nine acres serene gardens and woods. This 1872 year old structure has been transformed aesthetically for the comforts of modern day.

In the Sakya tradition, pretty much only the high lamas would give an empowerment like Vajrayogini. Right now almost all the Sakya high lamas are in Asia or the US and Canada. You could see if Dechen UK has anything scheduled or if anything is scheduled in the Sakya center in Amsterdam or in Lugano in Switzerland.
Vajrayogini from the FPMT (Gelug, Lama Zopa) is of course very good.
Thanks again, and will probably have another look at Dechen later.

Frank Abagnale of "Catch Me If You Can" Visits AU
Frank Abagnale spent his youth famously passing himself off as a Pan Am pilot, a doctor, and an assistant attorney general, and cashing $2.5 million in fraudulent checks.
Despite the relative ease of his schemes, depicted by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film "Catch Me If You Can," he had a surprising message for the crowd assembled to hear him speak on November 15: "Technology has made what I did [then] 10,000 times easier today."
Now one of the world's most respected authorities on forgery, embezzlement, and identity theft, Abagnale has served the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 36 years.
He knows that white collar crime amounts to $900 billion annually—or, as he put it, "way beyond the budget of the Pentagon." This has led to the burgeoning field of forensic accounting, among other specialties.
He urged AU students to carefully consider their actions both off- and online, to guard their personal information, and to protect their money by using credit vs. debit cards.
The reformed con man said his youthful actions are a "burden I live with every day of my life." He spoke candidly about his teenage years, when his parents' divorce set off a chain of events that had him living large but on the run, first in the United States and ultimately abroad.
He was arrested in France at age 21, and served jail time in France, Sweden, and the U.S. before his release at 26. "I always knew I'd get caught," he said.
The Kogod School of Business brought Abagnale to campus for the Annual Lecture on Fraud & Forensic Accounting; the Kennedy Political Union also sponsored the event.
Alpha Kappa Psi and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners at American University (ACFE @ AU) also contributed.

'Wash Trades' Scrutinized
Issue Is Whether High-Speed Firms Illegally Buy, Sell Futures in Same Deals
U.S. regulators are investigating whether high-frequency traders are routinely distorting stock and futures markets by illegally acting as buyer and seller in the same transactions, according to people familiar with the probes.
Such transactions, known as wash trades, are banned by U.S. law because they can feed false information into the market and be used to manipulate prices. Intentionally taking both sides of a trade can minimize...

KNUTSFORD kicked off the Christmas season on Friday as thousands arrived in the town centre to see the lights switched on and enjoy the two-day market.
At 2pm on Friday the two-day Christmas market – held in the car park in Silk Mill Street – was opened by Knutsford town mayor Clr Vivien Davies.
Children and adults alike then waited for Father Christmas and his reindeer to head through the town at 6.30pm as the evening celebrations kicked off.
Organisers predicted that crowds were down slightly on last year as many braved the freezing, misty conditions.
Former Coronation Street actors Jennifer James and Lee Boardman – who played Geena and Jez – turned on the lights alongside High Legh bronze medal winning Paralympian Niki Birrell, Knutsford Royal May Queen Lakeisha Bradbury and Knutsford Town Mayor Clr Vivien Davies.
Clr Davies said: "I was delighted to be asked to open the Christmas market on the third year of it taking place.
"I understand that the allocation of stalls for this year's market was filled well in advance and our thanks should go to Sarah Flannery, Kate Houghton and Catherine Firth, who has managed all the stall holder recruitment and budgeting.
"I hope the stallholders and their customers had a successful and enjoyable time."
This year, to add some all-day fun to the festive weekend Knutsford Town Council arranged for children's mini-fairground rides outside the old Town Hall, at the end of Princess Street.
The weekend was rounded off with the crib service on Sunday outside the old town hall.
