Results 76 to 86 of 86
Was it your car this happened with BAD430BENZ? If so, do you have the dyno chart?
Also, the chances this, or any other thread comparing the two headers, doesn't become a bash fest is slim to none. Certain people would have to put aside their differences with each other.
Personally I would love to learn more about these things, but when it becomes a bash fest it is no fun. I'm still posting in this thread though.

i gained 40whp from changing from MHP to MBH headers and mids . files were sent back and forth from Dynocomp to Weistec for 3 days to try and get things correct , which ultimately ended up being a 40whp gain but didn't fix the hesitation issue . the car has now been at Weistec and is now running correctly and should be shipped to me shortly . i DO NOT have dyno sheets to post up and really , at this point , do not give a damn about dyno sheets .
you guys say that you are engineers but apparently common sense was not one of the classes for that field . i know a lot of people that are book smart but can't walk and chew gum at the same time . i think i have now figured out the issue with you guys .
i know you guys keep saying that both you and Sirex are going to upgrade your supercharger kits soon . i can't wait for this to happen so , maybe one day , you will understand what it takes .
i still want to know who's in the video taking off the Weistec catch can
Steve called me a few days ago and said that everything went great on the car and that it's making great power and that my AFR is at 11.9 all the way across the board . why is your AFR down around 10 ?
the way i see it....i don't care if people agree or disagree with my results . it's my car in the end and if i am happy with the results , then that's all i care about . it just gets old getting insulted by these "engineers" when they have no clue what happens over here .
the biggest thing i got a kick out of was Sirex getting on the Dynocomp Facebook page and asking for my dyno sheets . obviously , there's a reason why Earl and Jim don't post there results every time something happens . i was one of those guys that always questioned their results and wondered why they didn't post . i now have a new look on things and truly understand where they are coming from . i will be posting videos of the car in action when i get it back !!!
I don't think you're lying about the numbers, but I would love to see the torque curve and compare it to MHP torque curves to see the differences in the low end torque vs top end hp.
It seems like your statement about making 40 hp when switching headers also included some issues to begin with. That may have had an affect on your numbers between runs. It still doesn't take away from the fact that you gained 40 hp after switching over to the MBH headers,
The problem is there are very few people who either 1) have the money to or 2) even want to make such mods.
I'll buy a home and second car before I through a supercharger on my car, but I'll definitely put headers and exhaust on.
My thoughts on the matter (not that anyone really cares) is that I would love to have more low end torque/hp vs top end hp since I will seldom make it to the track to drag race it. For me, the money would be on daily highway/street driving.

Great Scott! A 'Back to the Future' DeLorean made entirely from Legos
Still angry that Mom wouldn't buy you that Back to the Future lunch box or OUTATIME license plate? Maybe a DeLorean Lego set will stop the angry voices inside your head. ("Whoa. That's heavy.")
Actually, it's not heavy at all, because this is indeed made from Legos. It's the first officially approved Back to the Future set. Just 30 years too late for some of us, right?

She should not be a pediatrician or even a doctor. She answers your questions as if you were either very dumb or crazy. She's too straightforward in a way that makes you think she had a very day or going through a personal problem. Do not recommend!

In general the whole practice is very unapproachable. If you are a new mom this is not the practice for you. If you ask a question they make you feel like you are nuts! This doctor had to do a heel test for my infant... I have never seen anything like it - 4 pricks to get blood while my two week old was screaming. My husband had to suggest getting a larger needle - really?!?!?

Worst Pediatrician Around
This doctor is very rude and sarcastic.She has absolutely no bedside manner and will say anything to get you off the phone.I've called a couple of times because my child was sick, she said that there was nothing she could do over the phone and my best "bet" was to take her to the hospital.Also,all the staff at Verona Pediatrics don't care about the children,they go after the money!They don't even greet you when you first walk in,the first thing that would come out of their mouths is:"It's a $20 co-pay".They don't even ask how the child is doing,and they do not interact with the kids.BAD,BAD PLACE TO TAKE YOUR CHILD.

Dr. Sarah Nielsen is rude. I called her one night because my daughter had fever and she said "what do you want me to do?,call tomorrow and make an appointment!" i said is there anything i can give her to relieve the fever,she said tylenol,fever is normal.good night.I'm a first time mother,she should've have been more understanding.Next thing I know,verona pediatrics sends me a letter asking me to switch pediatricians within 30 days! only because i called the doctor at 3:30am! that is so unfair.I was gonna switch doctors anyways.

Gwyneth Paltrow Catching a Flight at LAX | Pictures
Gwyneth Paltrow Has a Celebrity Encounter En Route to the Big Apple
Gwyneth Paltrow geared up to catch a flight out of LAX yesterday. She layered up in an army-inspired Current/Elliott coat and carried a Gucci bag for a flight to NYC. Gwyneth ran into a similarly dressed Demi Lovato on the plane and posted a photo of herself with the singer on Twitter. She wrote, "Apple, look who was on the plane!" Gwyneth has been on the go lately, promoting her latest cookbook, It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great, on the West Coast. She was on hand to sign copies of the book at a Williams-Sonoma store on Friday and made an appearance at Barnes & Noble the previous day.
Before jetting off to continue her book tour in NYC and begin press for Iron Man 3, Gwyneth spent time with family and friends. She hosted a birthday party for her son, Moses, who is turning 7. The outdoor bash included celebrity friends like Kate Hudson, Gwen Stefani, and Tobey Maguire, who brought their little ones along for the fun.

Grilled Venison Bites (Deer Balls) (Cajun)
Recipe by Pokey in San Antonio
When you serve these up, the joke is; you have to kill a lot of deer to get this many ;o). Of course, they aren't really deer family jewels--they are actually bite size pieces of deer back strap or tenderloin. I got this recipe from a Cajun gentleman I hunt with in Haughton LA named Claude. I "guarunteeee", even people who say they don't like venison will eat a plate full of these. I prefer to use Tony Cachere's Cajun seasoning, thin cut bacon, zesty Italian dressing, and cook them over mesquite, but any wood or charcoal will do. Enjoy!
Top Review by gammy in tx
Since my husband and I love to use Tony's on our meats (and everything else) and we also marinate a lot with the italian dressing, I knew we were likely to like this. It turned out great. I made these the night before Easter on my menu #15692 menu (as kabobs). They were very colorful but best of all EVERYONE loved them. We will make these again and again.
See Discussion:11 Reviews 1 Tweak
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb venison
- 1 lb bacon
- 16 ounces Italian dressing
- 1 -2 tablespoon Tony Chachere's Seasoning
Directions See How It's Made
- Cut venison into bite size bits.
- Cut bacon into 3-4 inch pieces. You may even want to cut the bacon strips in half, length-wise first, depending on the width of the bacon.
- Wrap each chunk of meat with a piece of bacon, using a tooth pick to hold in place.
- Place wrapped venison in a plastic bag and cover with dressing. Marinate over night.
- Place marinated deer balls on plate and sprinkle with seasoning.
- Grill until bacon is crisp, turning often. I found the easiest way is to use a fish basket, that way you can turn them all over at once. Another way is to use a skewer. No mater what method you use, watch for flare ups, since the oil in the Italian dressing will cause quite a blaze if you don't keep an eye on it. I walked away one time to get a beer and when I came back my balls were burnt to a crisp.

LOS ANGELES — XBIZ 360°'s Digital Media section got underway on Thursday with packed crowds attending an array of informative seminars and keynotes.
The afternoon was highlighted by a pair of keynote speeches, one from Alec Helmy, XBIZ's founder and president, and another from adult film pioneer John Stagliano, Evil Angel's founder.
Helmy, after an insightful prologue by industry attorney Greg Piccionelli who has known and worked with the XBIZ founder for years, gave in capsule summary a rundown of his life, passion for technology, entry into the adult entertainment world and his views on the future, as well as the personal lessons he's faced in the business.
Not only a publisher and digital pioneer, Helmy has been at the forefront of the online adult biz and also is responsible for XBIZ's trade events, executive summits and awards show, as well as the ASACP, an organization he founded that advocates for child protection in the online space.
Helmy said that he continues to see bright roads ahead for the future of the business because the industry is a huge global pie that offers a lower barrier of entry, unlimited ways to mix things up and is ripe for true innovation. But the punctuating mark, Helmy said, is sex. "Let's face it, sex sells," he said.
As for trend in technology, Helmy said that the most successful online adult companies will jump on key trends in technology by incorporating responsive design technology, where one site can offer content on multiple devices; offering high-definition entertainment; employing gamification, where customers are retained through engagement; and using HTML5, the next web standard.
Helmy offered the packed audience of about 250 attendees some choice words on success and provided a list of do's and don'ts.
"Follow your passion, create something you truly believe in and offer something of better value," Helmy said. "As for don'ts: Don't rely on the industry, aim for market share, and go with your gut if you don't know enough information. And by all means, don't snooze."
Stagliano, who followed Helmy's keynote speech, discussed politics, the changing adult film industry and the Internet, as well as what's he's had to deal with the law.
Stagliano, a longtime Porn Valley producer and business leader, has proven himself as a tireless crusader for freedom of speech on behalf of the industry. In 2010, Stagliano won one of the most high-profile legal battles in the history of adult entertainment when he overcame a federal obscenity prosecution that generated nationwide attention.
Stagliano first off wanted to talk about politics, particularly "additional regulation coming in that will be used with force." Stagliano, of course, was speaking of L.A. County's Measure B and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which sponsored and advocated for the law that makes condoms mandatory in porn productions and requires adult film and health permits.
"Now we have someone that has come around lying to the government and lied to the press," said Stagliano, referring to the AHF's leader, Michael Weinstein, who spearheaded efforts to regulate the local adult film business.
Stagliano noted that the local porn production business now is in a pickle over the condom law and that he regrets what has transpired through the years over the issues of infectious diseases and filming porn, particularly since the HIV scare in 2004, when former performer Darren James came back with the virus from a shoot in Brazil. James in recent years has criticized the industry for failing to protect actors from infection.
"The industry will have a tough time solving the issue," Stagliano said. "We could have had a grassroots-on-the ground in-the-trenches kind of way to figure out this problem, but now instead we have the government imposing things on us. And that to me looks like a bad situation, and hopefully we can change that trend."
Stagliano also discussed Evil Angel's ventures into the Internet with its online partner Gamma Entertainment and how his company has adjusted to modern-day realities when it comes to porn production.
Stagliano in the past year released vampire epic "Voracious" on the web. The episodic web serial on EvilAngel.com, started as an online project and then was packaged later in a complete, multidisc box set. The combined production clocks in at more than six hours broken up across two discs.
"The Internet in the past 15 years has introduced new things into the world of pornography," said Stagliano, who noted that online porn has taken a chunk of revenue from companies that market DVDs. "But that is OK, because the Internet has brought us so many new things, new ideas."
Thursday's XBIZ 360° also offered seminars, including "Interactive Sex: The New Face of Adult Entertainment," which brought together industry experts — Douglas Richter, senior authorized consultant for AWEmpire; Oren of ImLive; AK of DatingGold and Tanya Fathers of Dating Factory — discussing the future of the biz with moderator Stephen Yagelowicz of XBIZ.
Another seminar, "Mobile Adult Entertainment: A Paradigm Shift in the Making," featured speakers Joey Gabra of Affil4You, Chi Lee of Reporo, Jesse of Mikandi, Quinn VaVerka of Adult App Mart and moderator JoeD of DeclineCash.
XBIZ 360° also included a workshop featuring longtime Internet marketer Brad Gosse, who explored how some websites outshine others by focusing on better customer relations. Gosse took a close look at 11 paysites, detailing the sites' good, bad and ugly features.
XBIZ 360° continues at the Sofitel hotel today.

After a year of hand-wringing and contemplation of national calamity, Mexico made it look awfully easy in the end.
El Tri officially booked the 31st out of 32 available spots in the 2014 World Cup with a dominant 4-2 win over New Zealand in the countries' World Cup qualifying playoff in Wellington, powered by Oribe Peralta's first-half hat trick. New Zealand made it a game late on with goals from Chris James and Rory Fallon, but Mexico's 5-1 win in the first leg of the series – which finished 9-3 on aggregate – made the goals all but academic.
Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera stuck with the same personnel and 5-3-2 formation from that big win at Estadio Azteca, which left the Kiwis needing a miracle in the home leg to reach their second straight World Cup and third overall.
Peralta made sure there would be no such comeback, putting a New Zealand defense decimated by injury and suspension – including all-time caps leader Ivan Vicelich through yellow-card accumulation – to the sword by scoring three goals in the first 33 minutes of action.
The Santos Laguna man's first came after an opening push from New Zealand that generated little in the way of clear chances. In the 14th minute, Carlos Peña found himself with time and space outside the Kiwis' 18-yard box and picked out Peralta with an inch-perfect through ball that the striker chipped over Glen Moss to open the scoring.
Mexico continued to pour the pressure on the home side throughout the half and destroyed any hope they might have had of even getting a result from the match with a four-minute double salvo. On the break, Luis Montes found a streaking Miguel Layún down the left flank, and the wing back served the ball up on a platter for Peralta to whack home at the far post in the 29th minute.
Four minutes later, Raúl Jiménez capitalized on a turnover in New Zealand territory and found Peña streaking into the side of the area. The León man managed to get an off-balance cross away, with Peralta easily cleaning it up for his and Mexico's third. Jiménez nearly made it four just minutes later, getting around Moss only to see his goal-bound shot cleared off the line by Tommy Smith.
The home side had a golden chance to get on the scoresheet late in the first half, as Muñoz was whistled for bringing down former Toronto FC striker Jeremy Brockie as he tried to take the ball around him. Brockie took the penalty himself, but Muñoz was equal to the effort, diving to his right to make the save.
Peralta almost made it four for both himself and his country in the 75th minute, getting a boot on a low Paul Aguilar cross only to put it across the face of goal. New Zealand came right back down the field after that sequence and saw strong claims for a handball in the area on Aguilar waved away by German referee Felix Brych.
The Kiwis would get their wish just minutes later, though, as Rafa Márquez was whistled by Brych for a handball in the area. James slammed the spot kick into the top corner to the delight of the still-vocal crowd at the Westpac Stadium. It was the Finland-based midfielder's second goal of the series after netting his team's lone goal in Mexico.
The home side grabbed another in the 84th minute after Kosta Barbarouses found Fallon wide open at the far post to pull New Zealand back within one on the evening, even as the aggregate scoreline proved insurmountable. Peña made sure of that fact by finishing off a Sinha-created chance with an accurate finish at the far post in the 87th minute.
After very nearly being eliminated from qualifying altogether in October, Mexico can now look forward to a sixth consecutive World Cup appearance and 14th in national team history. New Zealand, meanwhile, will move forward without longtime head coach Ricki Herbert – who brought the team to South Africa in 2010 – as they regroup for their 2018 qualifying campaign.

|Issue Date
|This handbook provides an overview of the major current electronic payment systems over the Internet and comments on the future of these systems. This is an important topic because electronic commerce is projected to grow to $1 trillion by year 2010. Rapid growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web are the major factors fueling the growth of electronic commerce. The Internet and the Web provide an infrastructure for business activities around the clock and around the globe. However, one of the main obstacles to this growth is the lack of secure electronic payment systems. If electronic commerce over the Internet is to succeed, macro and micro electronic payment systems on the Internet must be developed and become secure and efficient enough to remove the public's concern that transactions over the Internet is not secure. An understanding of the current state of the art on electronic payment systems is important for businesses planning to get into electronic commerce.

Alec Ounsworth, lead singer of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah has made a guest appearance on a new track called 'Ghost,' the latest single from the masked German producer known as Claptone.
While 'Ghost' is a slightly spooky tune, it's beat is utterly hypnotic and those CYHSY vocals are toxic as hell – reminiscent of their huge single 'Satan Said Dance.'
The Mats Udd directed video takes the eeriness to a whole new level.
Claptone's 'Ghost' featuring Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is available now on Beatport, thanks to Exploited Records.

Casting for Trout in New Zealand
By ADAM CLYMER;
Published: October 27, 1991
WARMING by the living room fire at the Lake Brunner Lodge on New Zealand's South Island, while children played New Zealand Monopoly, the proprietor, Dave Lefeve, was telling the grownups about the seven-and-a-quarter-pound brown trout he had taken on an Adams dry fly (only a pound bigger than my best of the day). It seemed then, on that drizzly day last April, that the best trout fishing in the world did not stop when you left the water.
In New Zealand the fishing adventure began over a rack of lamb at Tony Hayes's Tongariro Lodge on the North Island. On the way in to dinner we saw a monster mounted rainbow trout that had been caught by Jimmy Carter, inspiring his American detractors and admirers to vow to outdo him. (I failed.)
Next came Poronui Ranch, a spare, simple North Island lodge. It's too remote for a newspaper to be available at breakfast, so you study topographic maps over bacon and eggs as Paddy Clark, the guide, outlines the day's itinerary.
The adventure ended on the morning after the last day's fishing, when we tucked into a trout for breakfast in a dining room full of antique furniture, looking out over the mist on the lake at Bob Haswell's elegantly restored Lake Rotoroa Lodge on the South Island.
This was a dream trip, covering 1,500 miles by plane, train and car once we got to New Zealand, fishing from four world-class lodges on both the North and South Islands. It wasn't that the surroundings made up for bad fishing, because the fishing was superb: 35 trout in 8 days, 19 of them over 20 inches, and not a day without a fish. That kind of success would have made the trip memorable despite any level of depressing rooms and food.
Equally, the four places where we stayed would have made the trip memorable even if the fishing had been depressing. My wife, Ann, who doesn't fish, nonetheless accompanied me to every lodge except Poronui Ranch. While I fished there, she toured Dunedin's Larnach Castle, a Victorian mansion decorated in marble, plaster grapes and vines and ornately carved New Zealand woods, and took a helicopter ride over the fjords near Queenstown. While I fished, she walked, read, went bird-watching, admired the countryside and shopped for handicrafts of wood or woolens.
From the angling standpoint alone, it is possible to fish the pure waters of New Zealand ("gin-clear" is the favorite boast) without staying in a lodge. You can save money by staying in a motel or renting a motor home, and hiring local guides. But it's hard to put that sort of arrangement together from afar.
A trip involving one or more lodges, with arrangements made by an American company, is a lot easier. At each lodge a group of affiliated guides swap information about which rivers are clear or muddy and what flies seem to be working, diminishing the risk of wasting one of those days for which you have flown 10,000 miles. Besides the fishing, and the fireside boasts, there are fellow anglers from New Zealand or England or Australia, or the suburbs of Washington.
United States fishermen have been a big part of the surge in trout fishing in New Zealand. Kiwis, as a lot of New Zealanders call themselves, credit Americans with introducing the idea of catch-and-release fishing, which may maintain the superb fisheries under the growing pressure they face. While only a third of Mr. Haswell's guests are from the United States, they stay longer than others and provide two-thirds of his income.
A flight into Taupo and a drive along the west side of New Zealand's biggest lake, Lake Taupo, leads to Tongariro Lodge. The flight and drive took about two hours. Mr. Hayes, an Auckland travel agent, visited British Columbia in 1977, saw some lodges there and decided that that was the life for him. He moved to the Taupo area, took up guiding and started looking for land. He built Tongariro Lodge 10 years ago after clearing 10-foot-high scrub from the 22 acres on the Tongariro River, a fine rainbow stream with roaring rapids. Guests stay in fairly small individual buildings, with porches overlooking the pleasantly landscaped grounds. The rooms have showers and drying cabinets for damp fishing clothes. The kitchen, bar and dining room are in another building. The bar contains not only Mr. Carter's trout but also letters and pictures from famous fishermen like Ernie Schwiebert to famous people like Larry Hagman, reporting how much they enjoyed the hospitality, and the fishing.
The big dining room built of warm New Zealand woods was almost empty the night we were there. We ate quite well on the lamb, a creamy pumpkin soup and a luscious apple crepe with a walnut sauce. It was also the first of many nights of enjoying New Zealand wines, here a Villa Maria cabernet sauvignon.
After a stunning day of catching rainbow trout -- 15 in all and 5 over 20 inches -- with Kerry Simpson, a wise and cheerful guide, Mr. Clark picked me up in Taupo for the two-hour drive out to Poronui.In summer, you could still have fished when we arrived about 7, but at the end of March it was early autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, so we ate, heartily. We also talked about fishing -- that day's, the next day's, and whatever I could tell him about how different it was in the East Coast of the United States -- where nobody scorns a 16-inch trout as, in Mr. Clark's term, a "little one."

JAY DAVIS: Tipping off in Rapid City new for the Tigers
For everything there is a first. This time it is not only the first time the team has gone to state as Mobridge-Pollock, but also the fist time for the Tigers tipping off a state basketball tournament game in Rapid City.
Believe it or not, the Tigers have never played a state game west of the Missouri River and this is their 19th trip to state.
While you may think, "Wow, 19 state tourneys and none in Rapid City," it's not all that outlandish. The Rushmore Plaza Civic Center did not open until 1977. The Tigers have been to just four state tourneys since then.
So, where have the Tigers gone to play in the final eight? Sioux Falls is the answer nearly half the time. The first-ever Mobridge team to go to state was in 1922 and that was in Sioux Falls. The Tigers played there again in 1924 and 1925, but did not go there again until my senior year in 1977. I was on that team, at least until the second cut of the preseason. I had a pretty good intramural season, though.
The Tigers went to four state tournaments in coach Jim Schlekeway's tenure as head coach. The 1985, '87, '98 and 2004 tourneys were all in Sioux Falls.
Mitchell, Aberdeen and Huron were the hosts the rest of the times the Tigers played at state.
Mitchell was the trip second on the list for most times hosting a tourney the Tigers played in. Mobridge played in the Corn Palace (that's an assumption) in 1923, 1933, 1935, 1942 and 1951. The Tigers finished second in state at the '51 tournament.
Aberdeen is site of the Tigers' greatest accomplishments. The Hub City was host for both Mobridge state titles, which were won back-to-back in 1943 and 1944. Mobridge played in Aberdeen again for the 1950 state tournament.
The other two state tournaments were played in Huron. The Tigers did not do much there in 1936, but took second in state at the 1951 state tournament.
While we're revisiting state tournaments, the shift in classes for teams around the state is nothing new. The Tigers were Class B, then Class A, then Class B, then Class A in the two-class system, then Class B before becoming a Class A team in the three-class system.
The 1962 consolation champions were the only Tiger team to make the Class A tournament in the old two-class system.
Here's one more bit of history for you. Tim Frederick is the eighth Tiger coach to take a team to state. A.E. Anderson coached the first three state teams. L.D. Patten was coach in 1933, '35 and '36. Glen Wright coached the two state champion teams after C.J. Hamann guided the 1942 state team. Bert Dent led the Tigers to state in '50 and '51, Dent's first two years at the helm. Lefty Engebritson coached the 1962 team. Peewee Kludt coached the 1977 Tigers. And then there was Schlek, who took a Tiger record four teams to state.

Heather Locklear divorces Richie Sambora
Heather Locklear's publicist announced yesterday that she and Richie Sambora have filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage, saying, "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."
It wouldn't be a terrible idea if Heather Locklear and Jessica Simpson got together and started up a divorce support group. Not one of those 'sitting around in circles sharing their feelings' type of things, but more along the lines of lying in bed naked making out and giving each other oiled massages. And then to really get to the root of their emotional hurt they could call me in for some outside assistance. I'd show up at the door, see their naked bodies oiled up and making out, and then my penis would explode. And that's pretty much the end of the story because I'd probably be dead, laying at their doorsteps with a smile on my face and blood pouring out of my crotch.

A KIND-hearted youngster braved the elements to walk from Great Harwood to Whalley and back again all in the name of charity.
Seven-year-old Leah Oates-Readett told her proud mum Joanne she wanted to help after seeing a homeless person on a trip to Blackpool.
And on Saturday, along with her cousin Brooke Whittle, 9, and family members, the St Mary's pupil hiked across fields in blazing sun, driving rain and hail to complete her very own challenge. Joanne said Brooke did it for something close to her heart, and Leah did it for Shelter.
The total amount raised was still being totted up, but the pair raised more than £600 each, Joanne added.

Wedding cake might be the only item intentionally left in your freezer for months on end. Follow the advice of these area bakers to make sure yours is as beautiful as can be, especially if you plan to save it for later—much later.
Ericka Frank
The Cakery Bakery
•Fall flavor. "If you're having a fall wedding, it is a really great idea to include fall flavors," Frank says. "The decorations of the cake don't have to reflect the season, but I love the idea of something heavier than what you would have at a summer wedding." Festive flavors include pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon butter cream, and chocolate cake with espresso butter cream.
•Plan ahead. "Especially in St. Louis, fall weddings are hugely popular—with good reason!" Frank recommends brides call early and give themselves plenty of time. "Fall dates do fill up very quickly; September, October and the first week of November really finish out the wedding season."
•Showcase yourself. "You can really show your personality through the cake that you choose," says Frank, explaining the personalization options of both décor and flavor. "Couples these days are really stepping out of the box."
Francie Valenta
Encore Baking
•Tasty and tasteful. Valenta recommends using those beautiful fall gem colors sporadically, as opposed to painting the entire cake in purples and teals. "You can incorporate that into the cake tastefully," she says. "I love to make the handmade sugar flowers and airbrush them with fall colors."
•Traditional for a reason. Valenta notes that a white cake never goes out of style. "An all-white or ivory cake is beautiful any time of the year."
•Think like a guest. Before deciding on one or many flavors, Valenta recommends you think about how the cake will be served. Multiple flavors work well in a self-serve situation, but if the cake is being served, "guests may want what the other table is having," which could lead to dessert envy.
Helen Lubeley Murray
Lubeley's Bakery and Deli
•Think big. Murray warns brides not to fall in love with cake designs after seeing a close-up photograph. "When it's set up in the room, you may not even be able to see it," she says of small details. "Seeing it one way, blown-up, is a lot different than an actual cake."
•Don't break the cake. "They're fragile," she emphasizes, noting that a professional should make and transport the cake, if for no other reason than to guarantee it is structurally sound. "It really doesn't matter what time of year is it, transporting can be very stressful."
•Sparse beauty. If you want embellishments on your cake, remember not to overdo it. "Gum paste flowers or chocolate flowers are beautiful, but they're not as beautiful when you can't see the cake anymore."

Governor Palin joins Senator Stevens in Calling on President for ANWR Exploration
Governor Sarah Palin issued a letter to President Bush today, joining Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and nine other U.S. Senators in calling for immediate action to combat the American energy crisis. Gov. Palin's letter urges the administration to immediately conduct a seismic survey of oil and gas in the Coastal Plain of ANWR.
"Across the country Americans are calling for sensible, positive action toward addressing the energy crisis," said Senator Stevens. "I am delighted that Gov. Palin has joined me in urging President Bush to take a look at what Alaska can offer the country. Alaskans know that our state has the energy resources needed to safely provide America with domestic energy security and economic growth. Now is the time to let technology tell us just how much Alaska can help combat the energy crisis."
Governor Palin expresses strong support in her letter for the request made by the ten Senators in their August 1 letter. She notes that "there would virtually be no surface or sub-surface impact" as a result of seismic testing.
"In my opinion, the energy situation affecting this country verges on a national emergency," Gov. Palin wrote in her letter. "The development of our oil and gas resources is not a solution by itself, but it should be part of any comprehensive energy policy."
In the letter from August 1, Senators Stevens, Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Pete Domenici (R-N.M.), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), John Cornyn (R-Texas), John Warner (R-Va.), David Vitter (R-La.), Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), and Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), urged President Bush to immediately issue an Executive Order to conduct a 3-D seismic survey of the oil and gas resources within the Coastal Plain of ANWR.
Surveys of the hydrocarbon resources under ANWR were last taken in the winter of 1983-84, and the Congressional debates over the total potential often offer deeply varied estimates on the true size and value of the oilfield. Previous, two-dimensional seismic imaging could not provide detailed information on the size of oil and gas resources, while new imaging provides researchers with an accurate, detailed picture of the geology of areas "photographed" by seismic imaging.

Although couponing is certainly not rocket science, understanding how to really use coupons to your advantage can take a little bit of time. Not only are there a number of rules dictating which coupons can be combined, what those specific rules actually are tends to vary from store to store. And as well as understanding what coupons you are not allowed to use, there are also many coupons that you simply shouldn't use. If you are only just starting out your couponing journey, here are seven common mistakes that you should do your best to avoid.
Spending More, Not Less
Without doubt the most common mistake made by those new to couponing is purchasing things that they do not need, or necessarily even want. It's important to remember that manufacturers don't provide coupons out of the goodness of their hearts, they do so in an effort to make consumers purchase things that they otherwise wouldn't.
And when you start purchasing things that you otherwise wouldn't, your couponing hobby can begin to cost you money instead of saving it. Therefore the most important mistake to avoid is impulse purchases based solely upon the fact that you are getting an attractive discount.
Only Looking for Certain Coupons
Although you should not purchase things that you otherwise would not, there is no harm in collecting coupons for such items. The reason for this is that there are many coupons that can be used to get things for free. Such coupons are of course well worth taking advantage of as they can be used to give your family and friends gifts at no expense to you. Many people new to couponing miss out on such offers as they automatically look away from any coupon that is not related to a product that they like.
Failing to Understand Coupon Policies
A beginners mistake to couponing that can often lead to embarrassment is failing to know, or to correctly understand, your favorite stores coupon policies. Although coupon policies are rarely all that complicated, many mistakes are made due to the fact that each individual store has different policies.
Some allow coupon stacking whereas others do not. Some allow coupon overage whereas others do not. Knowing which stores have what policies is not only essential for avoiding embarrassment at the checkout, it's also essential for experiencing maximum savings.
Overestimating How Much Coupons Can Save
Many people start couponing in the hope that they can spend less each week at the supermarket. Doing so is of course very much possible but you cannot expect to start eating for free each week. When you are setting goals in terms of how much you hope to spend at the supermarket in future, it's important to be realistic. Many people new to couponing set unrealistic goals because they overestimate just how much coupons can save them. And as you are likely aware, unrealistic goals rarely lead to anything but disappointment.
Not Realizing When Coupons Can be Stacked
Another common beginners mistake is failing to understand when two coupons can be used on the same product. Although you can never use two store coupons on the same product, most stores do allow consumers to combine both a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on a single product. This is known as stacking and opportunities to do so are more common than you would expect. It is after all perfectly natural for both a store and a manufacturer to be offering a coupon for the same product simultaneously.
Keeping Coupons in a Shoebox
Another sign that somebody is new to couponing is that they keep all of their coupons in a shoebox. Once you start to really build up a collection of coupons, attempting to find the one that you are looking for can become pretty difficult unless you actually keep your collection somewhat organized. While most people use binders, even simple envelopes dividing up your coupons according to their purpose will do the trick. You just can't expect to keep a big box of paper scraps and expect to be able to find a specific one in a hurry.
Letting Valuable Coupons Expire
Finally, a particularly painful mistake made by those new to couponing is to forget about the small matter of expiry dates. Coupons are not the same as hard currency and many times they come complete with expiry dates. Therefore before putting any coupon into your binder, make sure that you check when it's going to expire. When it comes to couponing, there is nothing more irritating than heading to the grocery store with a valuable coupon only to realize that it has already expired.

New Faculty Profile: Laura M. Weinrib
As a legal historian, Laura Weinrib hopes her scholarship will challenge people to rethink their assumptions and biases about the present as well as the past. She believes that highlighting the complexities and contingencies of history can open space for new approaches to today's social problems.
Weinrib will bring her insights to Chicago Law students this year when she joins the Law School's faculty, initially as an Instructor in Law while she completes her PhD in history at Princeton University, then in July 2011 as an Assistant Professor of Law.
"History is one of the most powerful means of evaluating the complicated relationship between law and the broader social world," Weinrib said. In tracing the development of law-related advocacy and ideas, she looks for lost alternatives to entrenched legal concepts. "With temporal and critical distance, we can see how lawyers, judges, and activists have transformed legal categories, culturally and doctrinally-and how those reconfigured categories have, in turn, constrained the choices available to subsequent actors."
Weinrib comes to the Law School from the New York University School of Law, where she was a Samuel I. Golieb Fellow in Legal History. She holds an AB and AM from Harvard University and a JD from Harvard Law School. Before beginning her graduate studies in history, she clerked for Judge Thomas Ambro of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Her PhD thesis examines the emergence of a libertarian model of free speech in the United States between World War I and World War II, an interest that began during law school, when she was editor of the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review. "Today, self-described civil libertarians clash over issues like hate speech and campaign finance reform, which seem to pit a strong American commitment to dignity and equality against an even more powerful allegiance to liberty," she says. "What I have discovered in my research is that our modern notion of civil liberties as freedom from state interference with private behavior and expression was a much contested development; as recently as the interwar period, organizations like the ACLU were devoted, above all, to social and economic equality, and they enlisted state support in accomplishing those goals."
Weinrib's other recent scholarship includes a book with a personal angle, published in fall 2009 by Syracuse University Press. Entitled Nitzotz ("Spark"), it examines an underground newspaper of the same name, circulated in the Dachau-Kaufering concentration camp and edited by her grandfather, Shlomo (Frenkel) Shafir. The articles within Nitzotz, which were devoted to political and ideological discussion, challenge the prevailing historical assumption that rational assessment of the future was impossible under such abject conditions.
Weinrib says she found it particularly gratifying to have completed the book during her grandfather's lifetime. "Working with him to prepare the manuscript, I have seen how strong and enduring his wartime idealism was," she says. "His commitment to writing as an instrument of political change shaped his life and his career as a journalist and historian."
At the Law School, Weinrib will teach labor law, constitutional law, family law, and legal history. In future research she expects to explore a broad range of topics, such as 20th-century family law, American legal thought, and the history of privacy.
A Minneapolis native, Weinrib says she is looking forward to returning to the Midwest after spending 15 years in the Northeast. She also is eager to join the Law School's intellectual community. Weinrib says she was initially attracted to the Law School for its well-known intellectual intensity and academic rigor. A visit made that reputation come to life.
"I was most struck by the vibrancy of the place-the curiosity, richness of dialogue, and openness to new ideas among professors and students alike," she says. "The faculty is genuinely committed to engaging with and improving each other's work. I feel tremendously fortunate to be joining the Law School community."

Former Football Star Turned Actor Bubba Smith Passes Away at 66
For us kids of the 80s we best know Charles Aaron "Bubba" Smith as Lt. Moses Hightower from the Police Academy movies. The older "kids" probably know him better as a fierce defensive lineman who played 9 seasons in the NFL for the Baltimore Colts, Oakland Raiders and Houston Oilers.
Sad news to report as Smith passed away at his Los Angeles home at the age of 66. He appears to have died from natural causes.

Hi RJ. Clock oil is not as expensive as you might be thinking. Check out www.timesavers.com for an ample selection of quality clock oils and proper applicators. Oil only the pivot bushings, and not very much. A drop on the end of a toothpick is plenty. Haroldharold bain, Member ch 33

Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: RJSoftware)
As Harold said, only clock oil, and only enough to fill the oil sink, you don't want it to run down the plate. Spraying is the worst way, it attracts dirt and eventually will run the pivots dry.

Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: RJSoftware)
Aloha RJ,
Doesn't seem like a multiweight oil would be a good selection for using on a clock. Although the viscosity changes with greater temperature ranges than your clock is likely to endure, so the viscosity may not be as changeable as if it was in your car. If you are going to use a household oil, try sewing machine oil or some sort of lightweight single viscosity oil if you must.
Timesavers has a nice clock oil in a handy needle nosed bottle for just a couple dollars. It doesn't take much for a clock and lasts a long time.

Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: RJSoftware)
Unless you have tried to clean a movement that has been "W-D 40'D" you have no idea how difficult it is. Normally, clock cleaning solutions will last for some time. One useage with a movement upon which W-D 40 has been used will ruin your solution. The stuff has its uses, just not on or in clocks. As a clock lubricant, it stinks.

Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: RJSoftware)
You are right: here we go again!
Horological lubricants are different than automotive lubricants. Horological lubricants are like well trained dogs: they stay in the place you put them. Automotive lubricants are designed to search out and lubricate: they do not stay where you put them.
Horological lubricants are designed to operate without a presurized system where as automotive lubricants must operate with a pressurized system.
Horological lubricants must go a long time between operations and still be able to keep the surfaces apart (think about the strike train sitting around for 30 to 60 minutes without doing anything): they are long chain polar lubricants. Automotive lubricants operate primarily with a bearing/shaft continuously rotating (except when you shut it off at night). Most of the wear that occurs in an automotive engine occurs at start up after being shut off for several hours: automotive lubricants need the pressure to provide a lubricating film to seperate the surfaces.
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE lubricants in a horological machine: they are not made for this purpose.
Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: RJSoftware)
Jim, I agree completely with your points about the use of horological lubricants with one exception, being the mainspring lubricant for barrel spring clocks especially 400-Day and other long duration clocks.
I use Slick 50 synthetic with Teflon for these, exclusively. Several years back (1997) I did a side-by-side test on identical 30-Day clocks to determine the relative performance of a good horological mainspring grease (Moebius) vs Mobil 1 vs Slick 50.
In runtime, the slick 50 outperformed the Moebius by an average of 23% over a period of six trials. The Mobil 1 outperformed the Moebius by 16%. Further, with Slick 50 there is NO "sticking together" of mainspring coils even with clocks that have been running for more than 15 years with this lubricant.
In the test, three clocks were used. Each one was thoroughly cleaned and the mainsprings lubed using one of the three test materials. All clock pivots were lubed with Etsyntha 5, a synthetic clock oil. The pallets were "wetted" with a synthetic watch oil. The clocks were then fully wound, set to running, and the number of days recorded to the point they stopped. After two tests, the clocks were stripped, cleaned, and the mainspring lubricant changed to one of the others, two more run tests were made, then the cycle repeated until all three clocks had made two complete runs with each mainspring lubricant. This assured that any mechanical differences between the three clocks were accounted for. The results were the same in all of the tests, within an error of less than 10% per run.
I have inspected a number of 400-Day clocks at 5-year intervals that were lubricated with Slick 50, and simply put them back together without relubrication of the mainspring because they were totally clean, no oxidation, and no change in performance. In fact to be assured you will get 400+ days from a 400-Day clock there is no other choice than a good synthetic oil . . Mobil 1 is OK, Slick 50 is the best I have tested.
Just as a note, there are other Teflon based lubricants on the market that "may" perform as good as Slick 50, however I have not tested those so can't comment.

Hey "RJ"! Jes' foun' this rare lookin' clock on EB . . . . . Naw, RJ. Right tool for th' job - right lube for the app. 'Bout five yearsago, I bought this Moebus assortment. I use their 8030 & 8040 fer jes' bout everything have lubed a zillion clox, and still have probably 3years supply remaining. For mainsprings, tho, I use "KEYSTONE".

Which of the Slick 50 products did you use in your test group?

Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: RJSoftware)
Hi Everyone,
Just a thought. I do use specific clock oils and grease and also agree with the slick 50 for the applications noted in previous posts.
I do think we get a little hyper on lubricants, after all we are now working on movements that have operated over 100 years running on kerosene, vegtable oil, mineral oil, whale oil or anything that could be found that was slighlty slippery.
How did they survive without our specially formulated high tech oils of today
We talk like they couldn't have survived on these old products, but they did or we wouldn't be discussing all of the aspects of having these dear possessions today.
100 years from now clock nuts will be saying how could those people in the 2000's ever use the things that we are swearing by today.
Have a Great time!

It is probably wise that we discuss lubrication even though the clocks have survived for ~600 years without thinking too much about lubricants. During my examinations of clock components under very high power magnification, I have seen the results of using lubricants without knowledge of their chemical make-up. Many of the early lubricants that were used had an acidic component. I have clearly seen etching of the brass surrounding the oil sink areas where the oil has migrated onto the plates, etching of the brass within the oil sinks themselves, and etching of the brass within the bearing itself. When the hammer pins have been lubricated, I have seen clear evidence of severe etching of the brass (and occasionally of the steel) at the intersection of the steel hammer wheel pins and the brass of the hammer wheel (this may be a combination of chemical and electrolytic corrosions). Likewise, I have also seen etching within mainspring barrels. There are many other places in a clock where I have observed the presence of a lubricant and etching of the metals.
If we expect these clocks (and watches) to survive into the long distant future, then attention to the chemical interaction between the lubricant and the metals is extremely important. Lack of attention to this detail will aid in the destruction of the clocks and watches that we are working upon.

John, your experiment makes me feel much better about my choice for a mainspring lube. We have many more choices than were around 100 years ago, and I think the clocks should survive quite well with modern lubrication. Haroldharold bain, Member ch 33

Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: RJSoftware)
I'm probly weigh off base, Doug ( not AWOL ) but I believe there were and still are natural oils of animals, plants perhaps etc. that were very capable and were used. I certainly doubt all shops or mfrs. used them but you know - with this "save the whales" thing, etc., the protracted processes necessary to extract them - we ain't gonna see them. Synthetics have replaced them. They just not gonna killa whale to get 3ccs of clockoil from 'im. BUT. I think there were such lubricants equal to or superior to ones we're using.

Re: Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: RJSoftware)
I have some questions about mainsping lubrication. Is it ok to use orginal Slick 50 or does it need to be synthetic? Where can I buy the Slick 50 oil? What do you think of using Lucas oil stabilizer or No smoke? Do these contain petroleom and or Paraffin and is this bad for clock mainsprings? Thanks.
Re: Clock lubrication (Here we go again) (By: travisg40213)
but John's experiments were conducted with the original Slick 50 oil additive, I believe. Either works well, but the latter is hard to find
Now back to the original question, I think the older generation of clock owners had a much stricter schedule for servicing their clocks. Every couple of years they'd be back in the shop for service and oiling. Because of their wanting to preserve the clock in good working condition, the oils of the day were adequate since they were replaced often. Today's clock owner is not so good about servicing their clocks, and the need for an oil that will stay put and lubricate over a long period of time is desirable. The synthetic clock oils are made and blended to do just that.

Today's question:
What's the most used app or other function on your phone?
Primarily, I send text messages. I have very few apps on my phone, but I do like having the google maps, just in case I need them.
I love Baby Mac's doggy feet. They both look pretty intense...must be a very interesting app.
I don't have a phone with apps but I do text alot.
I don't have apps either, just make and receive calls. Love those little brothers.
I mostly text and use the Maps feature when I'm lost and my GPS is in the trunk!
SUCH a cute picture and not sure which I love the most...the little feet or the little slippers!!
That is such a beautiful picture of them -- with Bubby's hand on Mac's knee -- so sweet. May they always get along that well! The most used function on my phone -- the call Jenna button!
The Wheels on the Bus and toddler phone--the phone is great because the little one thinks he's really dialing and texting.

Mother Nature relented just in time yesterday; rain came down as guests of the Brunch at Sea arrived, but then it stopped moments before boarding. Immediately upon entering the ship, diners buzzed around, moving from station-to-station in an effort to try one of everything being offered while being blasted by the sounds of a salsa band.
Downstairs, Aaron Sanchez worked with Doug Rodriguez (of De Rodriquez Cuba on Ocean) to pump out huevos rancheros and sopes filled with truffled eggs, and sweet corn cachapas with pork belly, tuna loin, and arepas, while across the room Goya's executive chef, Fernando Desa, also served tiny arepas topped with Mexican-style pork. Upstairs, Pinchet Ong threw out all the stops, serving seven different desserts. We tried the liquid Valrhona chocolate cup with tapioca and cocoa pearls and almost passed out from ecstasy. Ong, you're welcome in Miami anytime.
But the station that was near impossible to reach was that manned by Sugarcane's Timon Balloo and a bevy of ladies (PR reps Alexis Knapp Torjman and Joanna Cisowska were behind the line, as well as Balloo's wife). "I got my ass handed to me," the chef said, once the smoke had cleared. The rush was his fault: Balloo's selections were arguably the most inspired, beautiful, and delicious. He brought not only braised oxtail with organic eggs and hash browns but also foie gras "McGriddles," which were stuffed pancakes topped with foie gras, berry compote, smoked bacon butter, and powdered sugar.

Passed snacks were also offered, including Rodriguez's smoked fish tacos and croquettes stuffed with short rib or chicken and plantain. Locals John Pitlosh and Lana Jouver weren't fans of the latter. They chose to spend their time chowing on Rodriguez's tuna and watermelon ceviche. (We much preferred Balloo's cobia with seaweed, but all the offerings were nice.) They said this was the only South Beach Wine & Food Festival event they were attending this year. "It was different and it was across the street," said Pitlosh, a resident of Marina Blue. "And the tickets were $150. They're pricey, but it goes to FIU."
Between stations, Montecristo cigars were handed out and cocktails were being poured generously. Our favorite sipper was Rum Diplomatico's Bloody Diplomacy: Diplomatico Blanco, cinnamon syrup, blood orange juice, lime juice, Bitter Truth grapefruit bitters, and club soda. While it's true the combination of rich foods, crowds, cigar smoke outside, a venue in motion, and alcohol may not sound like an appealing way to spend a Sunday, we'd say Brunch at Sea was a fun way to cap off SoBeWFF.

At least one Rochester lawmaker is not sure how he'll vote on a bill to legalize same-sex marriage.
Republican Sen. Dave Senjem said he is just going to wait until the day of the debate and make a decision when he is faced with pushing the red or green button.
"I am just going to wait until that magic moment and make that decision in a pretty spontaneous way," he said.
If he had to vote at this moment, he said he would probably vote "no." But he said he is not sure what he will do when actually confronted with the decision. When he talks to young people, it is clear most of them support gay marriage. He added that attempts to block gay marriage amount to society "standing in front of a freight train."
Sen. Dave Senjem said he is not sure how he will vote on a bill to legalize same-sex marriage.

Sony: 100 PlayStation 2 Games Due This Year
Sony today kicked off its E3 2009 media event at the Shrine Auditorium today by highlighting the PlayStation 2, the company's nine-year-old console.
The PS2 is nearing the end of the 10-year life cycle, the company projected. Still, despite the age of the system and the introduction of its successor, the PlayStation 3, Sony chief executive Jack Tretton announced that the console will see 100 new titles introduced this year alone.
Said Tretton of the $99 console, "We're committed to the PS2 for as long as users see value in it."
Sony unveiled a new version of the PSP handheld, the PSP Go, on Tuesday, as well as a pink "Hannah Montana"-branded version.

It was officially announced today that 2014 Hall Of Fame inductee Derrick Brooks will be honored by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 14 when the Bucs host the St. Louis Rams. Brooks will become the sixth member of the Buccaneers' Ring Of Honor and become only the third player to have his number retired, joining fellow Hall of Famers Lee Roy Selmon and Warren Sapp.
In typical Derrick Brooks fashion, he credited his teammates for the honor that was being bestowed upon him. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Brooks always understood the importance of sharing it. He is the franchise leader in tackles with 2,198, selected to 11 straight Pro Bowls, a winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, and the Defensive Player of the Year in 2002, the same year he hoisted the lone Lombardi trophy in Buccaneer history.
He credited coaches Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith with instilling in him and his teammates the value of learning, a skill that was instrumental in the turnaround of the franchise. He credited Hardy Nickerson with being the veteran leader in the linebackers' room that showed him how to be a professional and how to improve. He credited his college coaches for leading him in the right direction. As modest and humbled as anyone could ever be, but that's how Derrick Brooks is.
He was the leader that showed you the way, not told you. "I'm gonna be the one to grab a shovel and start digging," he said. "I'm not gonna ask you to do it. I'm gonna start and hopefully you will follow my lead." He not only lead on the field, but in the community, as well. He started "Brooks' Bunch", a youth scholarship foundation and charity. He is also co-founder of the Brooks-Debartolo Collegiate High School in Tampa, a college preparatory school for grades 9-12. As much of a leader as Brooks was on the field, his impact off the field has been even greater.
When asked about his number retirement, Brooks said "To have my number retired is extremely special. It'll probably hit me on September 14th against St. Louis. No one has worn it since I left, but to know no one will wear it again is very special." And with as selective as the Buccaneers have been about number retirement, it truly is a special honor for the greatest player in Buccaneers history.
A Hall of Famer, a legend in Tampa Bay, one of the greatest players and people to ever put on an NFL helmet. Derrick Brooks epitomizes everything a team looks for in their marquee star. Derrick Brooks will be the face of the Buccaneers for years to come. And in the words of the NFL fans' favorite United Way commercial, "Who's our favorite player?" You, Mr. Brooks.
Simply, you.

Planning conditions often have words at the end of the condition which seek to allow the planning authority some control over the future regulation of the terms of the condition.
Examples include:
"No trading from the retail shop shall be carried out after 21:00 each day unless otherwise agreed with the local planning authority"
"No use of the floodlighting columns shall take place after 21:00 hours or before 08:00 hours on any day without the prior written consent of the local planning authority".
Tailpieces of this nature were considered in the case of R (on the application of Warley) v Wealden District Council.
The intention of these words was to allow the authority to relax the condition and to allow a degree of flexibility without the need for a formal planning application to amend the permission.
However the court found that it was unlawful, because it made uncertain what had been granted by the permission and would potentially allow development to take place which had not been permitted. The development which could be undertaken had not been assessed or considered, and the tailpiece sidestepped the statutory process for varying conditions.
It was considered that the public was entitled to know from public documents the development for which permission had been granted. The tailpiece left that uncertain and did not indicate who was to determine any variation nor the criteria on which the decision was to be based.
The judge held that it was possible to delete the offending words from the condition in the Wealden case, leaving the condition and the permission in place. However if it had not been possible to do so, the whole permission would fail.
Does prosecution for breach of an enforcement notice amount to abuse of process?
The High Court has held in R (Altunkaynak) v Northamptonshire Magistrates' Court that it is not an abuse of process to prosecute for a breach of an enforcement notice.
The local planning authority prosecuted Mr A for breach of enforcement notices. Mr A had been advised by his planning agent and architect to make a planning application for permission for his hot food takeaway, rather than appeal the enforcement notices.
Mr A argued before the Magistrates' Court that this was one of the rare cases contemplated by Staffordshire County Council v Challinor (2007), because the prosecution was an abuse of process. This was on the basis that Mr A had a "cast iron" ground of appeal against the notices and that he had an explanation as to why no appeal had in fact been lodged.
In the Staffordshire case, the court found that if reliance was to be placed on a certificate of lawfulness as a ground of challenge to an enforcement notice, it had to be by way of an appeal under the Planning Act. However, it was possible to envisage some rare cases in which this might work as an injustice. This would be confined to a case where there was a defect in the notice which could be established and the landowner had an understandable reason for omitting to pursue an enforcement appeal.
The magistrates found that Mr A did not have a ground of appeal which was certain to succeed and did not have a good enough reason for not lodging an appeal.
Mr A challenged that decision by judicial review. The High Court found that Mr A did indeed have a cast iron ground for an appeal but that his failure to appeal was not accidental and not based on a misunderstanding, but a decision not to act based on the advice of a planning professional.
There was no injustice in the prosecution.
More on Town or Village Greens (TVG)
One of the criteria to be satisfied by an applicant for registration of a TVG is that the use of the land was "as of right". There must have been no permission given to the inhabitants to use the land; rather, their use was of a nature that they acted as if they did have such rights. In other words was the use "by right" or "as if of right" (R (Beresford) v Sunderland City Council (2004))
The point was heard by the High Court in R (Barkas) v North Yorkshire County Council.
A recreation ground was set out by a local authority on a council estate under the Housing Act 1936. The court found that the authority had the legislative power to lay out the recreation ground and if it did so the public had a legal right to use it. It would be a nonsense to say that the public using the recreation ground laid out in such circumstances, were trespassers.
It appears therefore that the courts will give a reasonably generous interpretation of use "by right", and this should be a welcome decision to local authority owners of recreational sites and prospective developers of such sites.
Stop press: Two decisions have been handed down in the Court of Appeal dealing with applications for the removal of land previously registered as a TVG.

WASHINGTON, DC – For the third time in five years, the world's poorest countries are at risk of being hit by a crisis not of their making – a prospective downturn brought on by financial turmoil in the world's most advanced economies. Having gone through the food and fuel shock of 2007-2008 and the global financial crisis that followed, low-income countries may now face even larger disruptions in 2012. And, given the interdependence of today's globalized world, poor countries' distress will invariably have unwelcome consequences for everyone, rich and poor alike.
At the height of the global crisis in 2009, many low-income countries experienced a slowdown in growth marked by falling exports, lower remittances from expatriate workers, and subdued foreign investment. The social consequences were severe: the World Bank estimates that an additional 64 million people were left in extreme poverty by the end of 2010.
Yet it could have been much worse. Thanks to greatly improved policy performance over the previous decade, low-income countries entered the crisis far better positioned to withstand shocks than in the past. They had smaller fiscal and current-account deficits, lower inflation, larger international reserves, and – thanks in part to debt relief – lower debt burdens.
As a result, most countries were able to maintain or even increase spending, despite lower revenues, and allow fiscal deficits to widen. This propped up economic growth, while also boosting outlays for critical investments and social programs needed to lessen the hardships faced by the poorest people. The downturn was also relatively short-lived, partly as a result of the greater openness to world trade that lower-income countries have embraced over the past decade.

Your Itinerary
Day 1: Banff
From Banff to Lake Louise's glaciers and jagged mountains we explore the heart of Banff National Park. The historic Deer Lodge is our home for the night, where gourmet dining and a rooftop jacuzzi welcome us to the Rockies. (D).
Day 2: Banff
Explore the alpine environment near Dolomite Pass, ablaze with wildflowers beneath limestone crags. Our destination, Helen Lake, is nestled in a spectacular natural amphitheater -- the perfect setting in which to take a break and enjoy a well-deserved lunch. (B/L/D).
Day 3: Jasper
Experience Wilcox Pass, one of the Canadian Rockies' best hikes. The trail is noted for its panoramic vistas of the Columbia Icefield, one of the largest sheets of glacial ice in the interior of North America. (B/L/D).
Days 4-5: Banff/Yoho
Follow the Bow River to Bow Glacier Falls and walk out on the glacial moraine. The next day we shuttle across the Great Divide to British Columbia's Yoho National Park. The word "Yoho," a Cree expression of awe and wonder, captures perfectly the sentiment you're bound to experience. We see 1,000-foot high Takakkaw Falls and hike the classic Iceline Trail to views of Emerald and Daly Glaciers. (B/L/D).
Day 6: Kicking Horse River
Conclude the trip with whitewater rafting on the mighty Kicking Horse River, shooting rapids with colorful names like Man-Eater Hole, Rollercoaster and the mile-long Portage Shotgun. (B/L).
Trip Fees Include: Whitewater raft trip, all meals, all accommodations (double occupancy), large backpack (if needed,) T-shirt, water bottle, support vehicle, and professional guides.
