AT&T U-verse has just published the extended synopsis of Apple Family Reunion (S03E09), set to air on December 22.
It clears up a few things that were more ambiguous in the Zap2it synopsis—and yay, Applejack is female again for FYI Television. (Just the voice actor "Andrew Libman" is eternally unchanged.)
After the break.
When Applejack is granted permission by Granny Smith to organize the upcoming Apple Family Reunion, she is thrilled at the opportunity but she soon loses focus of the important things in her haste to put together extravagant activities.
Update: Discord's Domain just found another synopsis that specifies that the "important [thing]" is "family bonding."

Here is yesterday's full transcript:
DoD News Briefing with Lt. Gen. Chiarelli
BRYAN WHITMAN (Pentagon spokesman): Good morning. And good afternoon to General Chiarelli. General Chiarelli, this is Bryan Whitman at the Pentagon. Can you hear me okay?
GEN. CHIARELLI: Yes, sir, I can.
MR. WHITMAN: Well, thank you for joining us this morning. I think most everybody in the room knows you. This is Lieutenant General Peter Chiarelli. He is the commanding general of Multinational Corps Iraq. He assumed command earlier this year, January 19th, and as such, directs the operations of 133,000 or so joint and coalition forces in all sectors in Iraq, working with the Iraqi security forces.
This is his second tour back into Iraq. He previously served as the commanding general of the 1st Cavalry Division and was responsible for Baghdad from about March of 2004 to March of 2005.
This is his first briefing back to you as the Multinational Corps Commander, and he is at Camp Victory today. And this is via DVIDS, so of course, you can see him but he can't see you. And he's got a few remarks that he'd like to make before we get into some questions.
And I guess with that, I'll just turn it over to you, General. Thank you again.
GEN. CHIARELLI: Bryan, thank you for that fine introduction. It's certainly a pleasure to be here today.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you. I'm sorry they gave you an Italian rather than an Irishman, but as you know, I wear green every day.
Seriously, though, I appreciate the opportunity to share some of my thoughts with you today and answer your questions. I never turn down the opportunity to talk about what a superb job our Iraqi security forces, our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and coalition forces are doing in Iraq.
There has been a lot of talk lately about the post-Samarra violence, and whether it means Iraq is descending into a civil war. Quite frankly, the talk of civil war is nothing new. I've heard people debate the topic for three years now.
I don't want to downplay the tragedy of the violence that has occurred; however, it may be unfair to characterize every post-22nd February event as sectarian in nature.
The possibility of civil war may be higher today than it has been in the last three years, yet I believe we are still far away from such an event. Where there are groups of individuals polarized at each end of the spectrum, there are a vast majority of Iraqis in the middle who don't see the divisions that are being highlighted. Many Iraqis are part of mixed marriages and lived in mixed neighborhoods and consider themselves Iraqis first.
I can tell you that in the first few days following the bombing, we did indeed see an increase in sectarian violence. That has since tapered off, and what we are seeing now are the same types of attacks we were seeing before the mosque bombing, and actually at a slightly lower number, except now all events seem to be characterized as sectarian in nature. In some instances, it's perceived that way.
Now, some of those events are sectarian, but far fewer than are being reported. Most of the events are a combination of the work of al Qaeda in Iraq, insurgent attacks designed to prevent progress in building the government and pure, unadulterated crime.
I want to lay out some facts and figures for you just to put this in perspective.
In the days immediately following the Samarra bombing, the press was actively tracking and reporting every single mosque attack, but the vast majority of the reporting was off the mark. I recalled reports of hundreds of mosques attacked and 30 mosques burning in Baghdad in one night. These reports were terribly inaccurate.
As we received reports of mosque attacks, we sent forces out to physically check the mosques for damage. We received 81 reports of mosques being attacked from sources other than our subordinate units. Of these 81 mosque reports, 17 had light damage, such as bullet holes or broken glass, and six had medium damage, repairable within six months. Only two mosques were completely destroyed, and none were burned.
Keep in mind, these reports are for a country that has thousands of mosques. Yet as I watched the news, I thought that every mosque in Iraq was being attacked.
Again, I'm not making light of the tragedy of the violence that has occurred. But I remain convinced that the resiliency and optimism of the Iraqi people will keep Iraq moving in the right direction.
Yesterday was an historic day for Iraq with the seating of the Council of Representatives, a significant step toward a democratic, unity government.
This is clear progress in the area of governance, which is just one of the several non-kinetic areas we are focusing on.
Other non-kinetic areas include economics, infrastructure and communications. All have to be worked simultaneously to move Iraq forward.
The progress I see in the Iraqi security forces since I arrived 11 months ago is absolutely amazing. The Iraqi army is increasingly taking the lead in operations and taking over responsibility for battlespace. They did a phenomenal job in providing security around the country following the Samarra bombing. They demonstrated a true understanding of their role in a democratic government. They were Iraqis first, dedicated to securing their country without regard for their religious or tribal affiliation.
This is also the year of the police, where we are providing police training teams and unit partnerships and mentoring to help develop the capability of the police force, much as we have with the army. Once trained, these police forces will take responsibility for securing urban areas, allowing the army to move out of the cities for more of a focus on national security.
We are working with the Iraqi government to assist in building ministerial capacities so that the government can provide the necessary essential services for all Iraqis. We are developing provincial reconstruction teams to work with provincial governments in developing economic systems and building infrastructure so that the Iraqis can have clean water, electricity, fuel, proper sewage systems and trash removal. All of these non-kinetic aspects are being worked simultaneously to move Iraq forward as a country.
While the emphasis may be on the non-kinetic aspects of our operations and renewing Iraq, the kinetic fight has not been forgotten. Operations such as Operation Swarmer yesterday and the ongoing Operation Scales of Justice to reinforce security measures around Baghdad by repositioning forces and bringing a battalion task force from Kuwait demonstrate our commitment and ability to bring forces to bear in tracking down and capturing or killing insurgents, insurgent supporters, foreign fighters and the members of al Qaeda.
Finally, last month's allegations that possible violations of rules of engagement were brought to the attention of U.S. officials by a reporter. I immediately initiated a preliminary investigation into the events surrounding insurgent attack in Haditha on November 19th, 2005. On that date, Marines assigned to the Marine Expeditionary Force responded to an IED and small-arms fire on their convoy.
The initial findings of the preliminary investigation were presented to me on March 9th, and I directed further review of the incident. We take these allegations of potential misconduct seriously, and they will be thoroughly investigated. I really can't comment any further on this incident because of the ongoing investigation.
I'd now be happy to take your questions.
MR. WHITMAN: General, thank you for that overview. And we'll get right into some questions here.
Mr. Burns.
Q General, this is Bob Burns from AP. I'd like to ask you a question about Swarmer. Is there a reconstruction, economic development piece that goes hand in hand with this operation or is it strictly an offensive operation? And also, has it, at this early stage, revealed anything to you about the Zarqawi operation in that area?
GEN. CHIARELLI: There's a -- we work all lines of operation in every single operation we conduct, and I think Swarmer will be no different from any other one. We consider that an essential part of what we're doing. And I think you can tell by Swarmer it was conducted in the desert, for all practical purposes, in an area about 10 miles by 10 miles. It was a large operation consisting of Iraqis and U.S. forces. Again, it's one of those changes that has taken place since I came back to Iraq. Had we tried to accomplish a mission like this 11 months ago, it would have been primarily U.S. forces. But in this case -- I think you've all seen the numbers -- is we have primarily Iraqi forces supported by U.S. and coalition forces. And I can tell you that we will work all lines of operation, including reconstruction, in support of the Iraqi people in that area at the completion of the operation.
Q Could you address the second part of my question about whether you've learned anything additional about the Zarqawi operations as a result?
GEN. CHIARELLI: I think every single one of our operations takes us a little closer to putting that puzzle together, and this operation is no different. This operation was a follow-on to additional operations that had been conducted prior to this in that general area. We conducted one about three weeks ago called Katrina, which gave us a lot of information about some of those cells and those operations. And we will continue to conduct those operations in that area and anywhere else in Iraq where the intelligence leads us to possibly being able to work the al Qaeda issue.
Q General, it's Tom Shanker from The New York Times. You mentioned the Iraqi security forces. And certainly the weeks since the Samarra Mosque bombing have been an extreme test of them. I'm just curious what you've learned about the Iraqi army and the police -- their performance -- that will influence how they're deployed in the weeks and months ahead, and maybe ways that they shouldn't be deployed in the weeks and months ahead.
GEN. CHIARELLI: Well, for me this is probably the greatest change I've seen. I know you know, Tom, I was here in April of 2004 when in Baghdad we have seven Iraqi national guard battalions. And I will tell you, those battalions, after the events of 4th of April, went from a strength of 800 down to 100 in a matter of days, and we literally had to begin again rebuilding those battalions. That whole process for us began in almost the 1st of May of 2004, and since then, we've seen this steady progress.
As I left Iraq -- I can only speak of Baghdad. And in fact, I think Baghdad was the only location in Iraq in March of 2004 where we had actually turned over battlespace to Iraqis. We had a brigade headquarters and two battalions inside Baghdad. I come back to Iraq with what you all see every day -- us turning more and more battlespace -- it's hard for me to even keep track of it on a daily basis -- over to Iraqis to the point where by this summer, about 75 percent of Iraq will be in -- that battlespace will be owned by Iraqi units.
We're finding Iraqi units, with our support, can be used in just about any operation we do in a counterinsurgency role. This is a force we have built and the Iraqis have built for that counterinsurgency fight, and I think they're particularly well- prepared, well-trained, and have the ability to do that in just about any area, both in the cities, and as you saw in Swarmer out in the middle of the desert where there's little population and we're looking for other things such as caches -- weapons, and some of the things we've found out there.
MR. WHITMAN: Barbara?
Q General Chiarelli, Barbara Starr from CNN. Sir, I understand your reluctance to discuss ongoing investigations. But is there any way you can help us out by simply placing the Haditha matter into some sort of context and perspective? In other words, how serious is this situation? Although I understand your reluctance to discuss specifics.
GEN. CHIARELLI: Well, I'm glad you understand that because I really can't say any more than I've already said, ma'am. And I appreciate the question, but I'm just going to leave it at what I indicated in my prepared statement. This is an ongoing investigation, and it is only fair for all parties that I leave it right where I put it in my prepared statement.
Thank you.
Q General, this is Will Dunham with Reuters.
Regarding your comment you just made about 75 percent of Iraq being handed over to the Iraqi security forces, could you give a more precise timetable, if you have it?
And also, in your opening remark, you expressed your thoughts that a civil war didn't seem likely. Could you just explain why you're so confident about that?
GEN. CHIARELLI: Well, when I said, "I think," I said, "We're a long ways away from it."
I think, and as a mentioned in my statement, we're probably closer to it than any time since I've been in Iraq. But at the same time, when I go out and talk to Iraqis and visit the locations that I visit, I'm always totally put in a good frame of mind based on their optimism and their feelings and their movement ahead.
I think the thing that I see when I go out and talk to Iraqis today that they're most concerned about is the formation of a government, and yesterday was a big step forward for them. The seating of the Council of Representatives was big. It marks the beginning of this process, and I know all Iraqis will be happy to see a national unity government in place, a government that can start tackling some of the problems that all Iraqis want fixed.
And I'm sorry. I -- I forgot the first part of your question.
Q It was about the -- you said 75 percent that the Iraqi security forces would be controlling by summertime -- do I have that right? And could you give a more precise timetable, if you have one?
GEN. CHIARELLI: Yeah, if I said summertime, I meant the end of summer. That's currently when we're looking at that occurring. That is kind of that mark.
I think that all indications are we will make that. But again, I don't want to be so precise as to put myself into a box. These are individuals, these are units that we're training. We're doing a very, very good job, and the Iraqis are doing a great job moving forward. But I think the end of summertime is about as far down as I can nail that.
MR. WHITMAN: Joe.
Q General, this is Joe Tabet with Al Hurra Channel.
Would you please give us more details about the Swarmer operation? What kind of resistance are you facing in Samarra?
And my second question is we've heard this week a lot of accusation against Iran, that the Iranian government is supporting the insurgency, and there is some infiltration from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Do you have any information on that?
GEN. CHIARELLI: Let me handle the first part of your question.
First of all, Swarmer was an operation out in the desert. It really marks a change, and it marks an evolution -- our ability to get outside many of the large metropolitan areas and begin to do and conduct operations based on intelligence we receive both from U.S. sources, from Iraqi sources in areas where we think insurgent networks are operating. And that's really why the size of the operation was the way it was, is that it was a huge area -- 10 kilometers by 10 kilometers (sic) [10 miles by 10 mile]. We had intelligence that -- we had anti-coalition terrorists and foreign fighters working in that area, and it took a lot of Iraqi soldiers and U.S. support to get into the area that we wanted to work.
We'll be in there for a couple of days searching for caches.
The amount of resistance we had was very, very light. I think the last count I had is that we have 31 individuals that we have detained, but we found caches of just about everything that you find, everything from 120-millimeter rockets to 107-millimeter rockets, 130- millimeter projectiles, mortars, some SA-7 components, and munitions. So we found what you would expect to find and what we expected to find out there. We'll continue to look for caches and any other terrorists and foreign fighters that might be in the area.
As far as Iran, we watch developments that are happening in Iran all the time. And I really don't have any other comment about that except to say that that's something we're looking at all the time to see what impact they're having inside Iraq.
Q General, Jim Mannion from Agence France-Presse. You said that the sectarian violence has tapered down, but on the other hand, there have been these spates of killings of civilians. People have been shot, strangled and left in mini-buses or on the side of the road. So who is behind that? Are the security forces involved in that?
And as a part of that question, during the operation -- after the February 22nd operation, some of the security forces allowed militia- men to go through their lines in Baghdad. What has been done about that?
GEN. CHIARELLI: Well, the Iraqi army's performance has, like I said, been absolutely magnificent. I don't know in every case who is conducting these. I think some of them are conducted by al Qaeda in Iraq, some of these events, to make it look like it's sectarian, but there's no doubt in my mind there's retribution being taken by both sides, by groups of individuals. Some of them may be militias, some of them just may be angry young men who go out and conduct some of these horrible attacks.
And I in no way want to downplay this violence. It's absolutely deplorable. And we have kicked off Scales of Justice to give Iraqis confidence that the Iraqi security forces and coalition forces, particularly in Baghdad, are there in larger numbers, are there, they see them on the street a lot more, and I think that operation is having the effect we want inside Baghdad. So I see that as a positive thing. And I will tell you that the attacks that you speak of have tapered off in the last few days, and we hope that will continue that way, but I also know that we could see more, and I expect to see more.
But Scales of Justice is working. Operations like Swarmer, where we're able to get out of the large areas and get out into some of the locations where we have not been able to focus forces, and take down many of the locations where terrorists and foreign fighters and insurgents are both operating from and holding their supplies, are very, very important in working to stabilize Iraq and make the opportunities for violence less.
MR. WHITMAN: Lisa and then Lisa.
Q General, this is Lisa Burgess with Stars and Stripes. I believe you spoke last week to the Shi'ite commander of Iraq?s 5th Army Division, and he told you at that time that the Public Order Battalions for the Ministry of Interior was his worst problem. And he said, I quote, "When the minister of Interior's forces come, the people say the Shi'ites are here to kill the civilians. If the Iraqi security forces are going to be key to preventing civil war, they're going to have to be seen as neutral brokers.
If a Shi'ite commander is himself identifying that as an issue, how do you see that happening?
GEN. CHIARELLI: Well, first of all, those are, as you know, national police units, and this is the year of the police. And we'll be working very, very hard with many of those units. I think what that commander told me was the perception was, and I thought that was a very important point. He didn't actually accuse those forces of doing that. He said the perception was that these largely Shi'a units, and many of them are; many of the national police units have a large percentage of Shi'a in their ranks -- that these organizations were perceived by people in a time of heightened sectarian conflict like we had and particularly the area where this was taking place -- in and around the Narwan area -- were creating that kind of perception.
And I, quite frankly, saw that as a very important statement from him. He did not accuse Iraqi security forces or Iraqi national police of, in fact, doing that, he indicated the perception of some of the people. And I think that's a natural phenomenon that's going to happen.
But we will be working very, very hard with all the police, both the local police, that I think are sometimes forgotten over here, the critical place that they have in securing the metropolitan areas, the large urban areas and some of the smaller villages that have regular police, and in addition to that national police units who we will be working with all year long in a way that we have not been able to before.
Q This is the other Lisa, Lisa Meyer, from AP Radio. I've got two questions about Operation Swarmer. I'm wondering if you could describe what the composition of the leave-behind force will be once the operation is completed, whether it will be Iraqi or American, both; whether it will be police commandos, whatever. And also about the timing of it. Could you explain to us -- there are some people that say that there's a political subtext here, and I'm wondering if you could describe whether in fact there was a long period of time that transpired between conception and execution.
GEN. CHIARELLI: I really can't -- I can't figure out why people did the analysis that they did. I think that anybody's who's been on the ground -- and there are a lot of folks that have been on the ground -- I think today we had some people up there -- will see that this is a largely uninhabited area that is 10 miles by 10 miles; it is a huge area where we had some direct intelligence but where we felt what we needed to do was really look through that entire area, look for these caches. There's a science to hiding this stuff, and we went out there with that in mind.
As for stay-behind forces, again I don't want to comment on follow-on operations. I can tell you we'll be working in there for a number of days, and we'll continue to work in there again at a later date if intelligence indicates that we need to go back in there. But we will be working with the people, the small population that is in there, to work some of the non-kinetic lines that I mentioned earlier.
But there was no attempt on anybody's part back here to time this to anything other than the intelligence that was coming in. It was an operation that we had been working for a couple of months. And quite frankly, one of the biggest problems I have over here sometimes is -- all the days seem the same -- is remembering what day of the week it is and also the actual date. But I do remember today's St. Patrick's Day.
MR. WHITMAN: Jonathan.
Q General, Jonathan Karl with ABC News. If you don't mind, two questions. One, focusing on the first part of your statement about civil war, you said you think we're closer now -- or may be closer now than we ever have been to a civil war.
I'm wondering what makes you say that. What are the indicators you're seeing?
And secondly, can you just clear up for me -- there have been all these confusing and conflicting reports coming out about this alleged plot on the Green Zone, with the Interior Ministry saying one thing, the Defense Ministry saying another. In the end of the day, what actually happened? Were there actually people fired in the Defense Ministry for this? And did these guys get pretty close to infiltrating?
GEN. CHIARELLI: I have no solid reports of the report that occurred inside the Green Zone. I've read what has been said, and I will tell you that's an unconfirmed report, as far as I'm concerned. And that's about all I can say on it.
As for anything that happened in the Defense Ministry, that is something that's handled above my pay grade. And I have heard of none, nor do I believe that there were any.
But again, I have -- the Green zone is a very, very important -- the International Zone is a very, very important area. I spent a year down there myself working to ensure that that was as secure as possible. We take all threats on the International Zone as very, very seriously, and we investigate all threats on the International Zone and work them very, very hard. But I have no reports that would lead to some of the things that I've read in the press about this particular incident.
I will tell you on civil war I tried to make it clear that I still think we're a long ways away from that. My point was that, you know, whether I think or anybody else thinks that it's sectarian violence, the perception by many is, is in fact it is. And perception is what is important here in a community and I have to be concerned about that, as we all are concerned about that, not only inside Baghdad but throughout all of Iraq.
I still say, and I stand by that, that we are a long ways away from that. And I think operations like we're conducting now go a long way into moving us further to the left and further away from that, wherever that tipping point might be. I can't tell you where that is, but I think we've got things moving in the right direction at this time.
Q General, this is Bob Burns. I just wanted to ask one more thing, about your comment on Iraqis having control of 75 percent of their territory by the end of summer. What is it today, for comparison purposes?
GEN. CHIARELLI: Oh, boy, that's hard for me to -- I've never looked at it as a percentage. I think I'd have to get back to you on that. I would say it's somewhere in the vicinity of -- in total land mass, under 50 percent. There's large areas out in Al Anbar where that's not the case.
So it's somewhere under 50 percent.
But what's important here is this is tremendous progress that has been made. Again, I left here and there were two battalions and one brigade controlling battlespace in Baghdad, and yet now there's not a single province that I can think of where we don't have Iraqi security forces who are owning battlespace and doing just a fantastic job.
Q General, Al Pessin from Voice of America. I wanted to follow up on the second Lisa question. When we heard about the series of operations in northern Iraq last year, the idea was that you were leaving Iraqi forces behind to secure the areas. Are you not doing that this time? I understand it's at least the second time that this particular area's been assaulted. So are you planning to then leave it and perhaps end up having to do this again?
GEN. CHIARELLI: I'm not going to comment on what forces we're going to leave or any kind of operational matters of what we're going to do in the future. The issue is that we had good intelligence so we needed to go out in this area. We needed to look at this area. We needed to conduct operations in this area. Some focused on very specific targets. Others focused on targets that we saw throughout that 10-mile by 10-mile area, and we conducted those operations. There's -- I can tell you there's not an intent to stay out in all 10- miles by 10-miles, but I'm not going to comment on exactly where we're going to be at the conclusion of this operation -- just that we're not going to leave until we've done everything we need to do out in that particular area of operations.
MR. WHITMAN: (Off mike) -- last minute right now. Perhaps I should turn it over to you to see if you have any last thoughts that you'd like to make before we run out of time here.
GEN. CHIARELLI: It's a great opportunity. I think operations like Swarmer are operations you're going to see more and more of as we turn over more of the large urban areas to Iraqi forces. We're going to get out into some of these areas -- they're very manpower intensive -- to take a look and to look at intelligence that we've gotten, areas that we may not have been able to get to before, areas that the Iraqis are particularly, given their capabilities, good at moving into and helping us find the kind of things we found on Swarmer -- that we'll continue to do these kinds of operations.
I thank you for your questions, and happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone.
MR. WHITMAN: Well, thank you for being with us this evening, and we hope to talk to you again soon. And thank you for making your other subordinate commanders available to us in this format each week.
GEN. CHIARELLI: It's our pleasure."
Isn't it interesting to view the difference between what is stated by the commanders and what is reported in the media?

FSG – and specifically club chairman Tom Werner – ruled out selling the club earlier today.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Echo, Werner was adamant the club was not for sale, though he admitted they'd be willing to talk to minority investors.
Brannagan loan deal collapses
Liverpool close to bargain deal
Moreno says he's happy with form
We're big fans of FSG here at EOTK – they brought us back from the brink financially, they've the only owners in 25 years who've followed through on their promises of stadium expansion, and they've help bring some great talent to the club.
Nonetheless, some people aren't happy. On Twitter, a lot of people have been questioning whether or not this latest interview is all a charade… What do you think?
@harikriss FSG and Werner in particular biggest skill is PR, most Liverpool fans don't even realise they employ a PR company for their image
— John O Sullivan (@Corballyred) August 19, 2016
But great FSG are staying we will have another 5 years of Linda tweeting about her pretend love for "soccer" and Liverpool
— John O Sullivan (@Corballyred) August 19, 2016
The new Main Stand is almost done and people still think FSG has done nothing for Liverpool. I'm at a loss. pic.twitter.com/NxTjyUHd4p
— Admiral Stackbar (@Llamakoolaid) August 19, 2016
@FirmiFatale @Gregoris96_YNWA FSG just can't be trusted. Not interested in football or making Liverpool successful, it's all about money
— Klopp (@Helentinho) August 19, 2016
@TheAS791 @Rant3r but seriously, if FSG were that awful, terrible, disgusting etc, would they have gotten Klopp?
— Percy. (@LiverpoolTruly) August 19, 2016
@TheAS791 @Rant3r but most fans (rightly or wrongly) seem satisfied with FSG. If they weren't, us and FSG would know about it
— Percy. (@LiverpoolTruly) August 19, 2016
@macca1980haribo @mux441 FSG have always strived for LFC to be self sustaining and that's exactly what a new stand will offer.
— Liverpool To My Core (@Lisa_Marie74) August 19, 2016
FSG are good in ehat they do now,but from what I can tell, they arent what we call "people persons" are they? #LFC Allen, Raheeem,Torres etc
— My Liverpool FC (@My_Liverpool_FC) August 19, 2016
@macca1980haribo @mux441 FSG are more likely to look for investment than to sell seeing as they're a sports investment company.
— Liverpool To My Core (@Lisa_Marie74) August 19, 2016
@RaphaelAndrews4 As FSG fans say. We develop stars. And then sell them. In doings things 'The Liverpool Way'.
— Amar Singh (@TheAS791) August 18, 2016
@lfc's net spend is now MINUS £23 million. Do you really think this is acceptable for a club the size of Liverpool? @John_W_Henry #fsg
— Dele Klopp (@deleLFCwilliams) August 18, 2016
Liverpool are the 7th most valuable club in the world. Net spend is -£23m. Ambition from FSG that….

aka You gotta fight for your right to pastry
This week we've got non-traditional dessert foods. We've got two girls in one bed, two guys in adjoining beds, and Rebecca ready to jump our guest judge and do dirty things to him. We've got ingredients like canned ravioli and falafel. And we've got a different than usual chef playing the bitchy role. Oh yeah… and we've got the banana game.
In the loft the eight remaining chefs are in the kitchen talking about what they've been required to do so far and what might be left. There's talk of ice sculptures and the use of chainsaws. Then Sally says not to give Katzie a chain saw, that the idea scares her. She'd fear for her life. I'm rolling my eyes, but Katzie is definitely upset about it. Sally's snarky. Whatever.
Katzie and Rebecca walk away and Katzie whines about how Sally doesn't like her and that the others don't think she makes real desserts. Again, whatever. Come on girl, crying won't prove them wrong. You've just got to show them by doing something amazing.
Back in the kitchen Orlando changes the subject to the burgers being good.
In the other room Katzie's still bitching. Off-scene Rebecca has a great comment about her though, that being younger let's her be so good at the creative — Katzie hasn't had time yet to become as jaded as the others.
It's dessert time! In the Top Chef kitchen, Gail is waiting along with Jordan Kahn, chef and owner of Red Medicine in LA. He's the guest for today's Quickfire Challenge. He's known for creative use of unlikely ingredients and crossovers between dinner and dessert.
They all have to pull a root vegetable out of a planter. Whatever they get they have to use in their Quickfire dessert.
Carlos – celery root
Chris – jicama
Orlando – radish (he's only ever had radishes in salad, but he smiles like he's happy even as he bitches later)
Matthew – parsnip
Rebecca – potato
Katzie – turnip
Megan – burdock root
Sally – turmeric (and she's the only one who seems happy)
I'm actually really intrigued by this challenge. I worry most up front about Megan because she doesn't know what her vegetable is (neither did I before looking it up).
The chef who wins will get immunity plus $5k. They have only one hour to cook. It's a good thing they aren't at altitude because cooking root veggies takes forever at 8,000 ft. I'm just saying. (Note: Remember that phrase for later.)
Rebecca has used some root vegetables before but is not well versed. She observes they don't have enough time to properly cook the vegetables. See? I'm not stupid, y'all.
Carlos isn't really sure about celery root, but he's inspired by the idea of celery and peanut butter. Too bad there's no celery-flavored cereal out there, then he'd know exactly what to do.
Matthew seems pretty confident because he works with savory, but he notes that Sally started in the savory kitchen so he's the most nervous about competing with her. Others, like Rebecca, are strictly pastry people.
Sally likes to go with southeast Asian flavors that she knows and she's definitely taking that direction this week with her tumeric. I think she'll definitely give Matthew the toughtest competition.
The chefs are pretty frantic. And then times up, roots down.
Rebecca — She likes simple stuff like Frosties and french fries, so she's made fries with chocolate sauce and malted milk ice cream. The plating is great and it looks yummy. She says she can't cook to save her life. Gail points out she shouldn't say that on national television on a cooking show and I have to agree. Self-defeating language is never good when you're in a competition. Jordan says being a savory chef makes you a better pastry chef, which I take to mean maybe she should take a savory class or two because she's not making the grade here.
Megan — Five-spice burdock root fritter and candied burdock root compote. It looks good. Jordan says "cool" and that he's a fan of the root.
Katzie — Soy milk panna cotta with marscapone cream, caramel, and turnip chips. (Sally is "confused" about why Katzie has won two challenges. She thinks this dessert looks a mess.) The judges don't really comment so we don't know if they agree or not. But thanks for the unsolicited opinion, Sally!
Chris — When the judges come over he puts "last minute garnish" on top. However, by the rules, you can only do that if you've classified it as temperature sensitive (like something hot on top of ice cream). He's automatically disqualified. He didn't want his fried jicama to get soggy on top of the wet stuff. They don't even taste it. Ooh. Snap, bitch.
Carlos — Celery root in three textures (frozen granita, pickled, and chips) with peanut butter pudding. He gets a thank you. Don't ask if it was a good thank you or a bad thank you. It was a quick thank you, okay?
Matthew — Caramelized parsnip cake with banana purée and caramelized hazelnuts. Finally someone who did cake! You can do so much in cake with root vegetables. They're screaming to be made into cakes, I tell you! (Carrot is not the only veggie for baking, people.) It looks great. He's got some fried parsnip strings on top too. Jordan says "Awesome." I agree and I didn't even get to taste it. I want to make this.
Sally — Mango pudding with turmeric and curried popcorn. She's got Thai basil in there too. She gets a thank you. Hmm… They're not really showing much feedback this week or else Jordan just likes to keep his thoughts to himself more than the other judges.
Orlando — Peach and radish crumble with kataifi crunch and vanilla bean sherbet. Jordan nods his head. Amazingly Bitchy!O doesn't get noticeably upset by the lack of praise.
Jordan says overall everyone did well. His least favorites are Rebecca (the potato was overfried) and Carlos (good idea, but it didn't translate).
His favorites were Sally (the colors were vibrant, he liked the SE Asia roots) and Matthew (most beautiful dessert today, smart choice for parsnip).
The Winner — with a nice balance of acid and sugar — is Sally!
Elimination Challenge — Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz of the Beastie Boys is here! It looks like everyone is at least somewhat familiar, but clearly some of them are bigger fans than others. We learn that Rebecca has had a crush on Ad-Rock since she was 15 years old. There is talk about sampling music vs. sampling food.
Challenge — They bring in a bunch of food that is mentioned in Beastie Boys songs. Bacon, cucumbers, canned ravioli. And a lot more. Some of it's pretty disgusting for a pastry kitchen. Everyone has to choose two items from the shelves to use in their desserts. Gail chooses the order:
Megan – Brass monkey and Chivas
Matthew — whiskey (Old Crow) and cornbread
Carlos — popcorn and bacon (I can totally see him working these)
Chris — pesto pizza and pork & beans (I see him trying to be daring, but I don't how that it will work so well)
Sally — cheddar cheese and prosciutto
Katzie — french fries and hot butter
Orlando — white rum and coffee & cream
Rebecca — Ham and a "40" of MGD
Gail asks if everyone is happy with their choices. Then says there's one more thing: they each get to pick an item for someone else. Listen all y'all this is sabotage!
Sally goes first (as winner) — cucumber to Carlos
I'm as cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce — "So What'cha Want"
Carlos — a whole chicken to Sally (WTF? I can bake a chicken, but I'd never bake with a chicken. Your pastry practices may vary.)
Miller drinking, chicken eating, dress so fly — "Hold It Now, Hit It"
Matthew — a bowl of peas to Orlando
Hey could you please pass me the peas? — "Rhyme the Rhyme Well"
Orlando — Katzie says "bring it" but Orlando says the challenge is to sabotage and he's not going after Katzie. Who is he going after? Oh wait, Katzie! Gorgonzola and provolone!
Gorgonzola, provolone, don't even get me started on this microphone — "Shazam!"
Katzie — Onions to Megan
Mike D's out back and he's growing onions — "Finger Lickin' Good"
Megan — Canned ravioli to Chris (who comments that he now has a complete meal)
Chef Boyardee cooling on the pot — "Hold It Now, Hit It"
Chris — For his boyfriend Matt, has mashed potatoes and gravy (which he says off camera seemed kind of funny at the time). Matthew maybe says a bad word that has to be bleeped. Then Chris feels bad wondering what did he do? He could potentially send his boy home. Oops.
Like gravy on potatoes, Luke to Darth Vader — "Do It"
Sally gets to go twice. She gives falafel to Rebecca, which surprises me because I'd expected her to give something to Katzie. But I guess since Katzie's already been sabotaged, it's Rebecca by default.
Yo what the falafel, You gotta get up awful — "Oh Word?"
Note: The producers put the lyrics on the screen for these selections. I've got too much of a life to go looking them up myself (but not too much of a life to hit pause a billion times while I type that shizzle up.)
They have four hours to cook. And they're off. Megan informs us she's had a few 40s in her life. I would have pegged her as more of a Mad Dog kinda girl, myself. But we've all got layers. Like an onion. Speaking of… what's she going to do with that onion?
While Chris feels bad about it, it seems Matthew isn't upset at all by the mashed potatoes. He's actually going to do cake! And then he talks about growing up and listening to the Beastie Boys and in this high-pitched voice says, "If this is going to be that kind of party, I'm going to stick my [bleeped] in the mashed potatoes." (from "B-Boys Making with the Freak Freak"). I somehow managed not to fall off the couch while laughing so hard. I did not foresee those words (in that voice) coming out of his mouth. He's so adorable.
Note: Looking up "dick in the mashed potatoes" on the Lyric Wiki (http://lyrics.wikia.com/Lyrics_Wiki) yields far more results than I'd expected and the Boys aren't even at the top of the list. I don't even want to know what I'd get for this on Google.
Musicians are sick, y'all. I'm just saying.
Back to the program… Chris is going to make a brownie with everything in it. He was having fun when he picked his ingredients but not really thinking about what to do with it. Now he seems a little more concerned. But what else can he do other than go for it.
Bitchy!Orlando is excited to finally not be on a team. To celebrate, he's been drinking his rum rather than cooking with it. It's slowing him down.
Sally's butchering her chicken and worrying about getting the flavor but not going too savory. But she's got immunity so she can go risky instead of worrying about going home.
Katzie's going to go make sweet pomme frites with different sauces. We learn a little about her culinary background. Sally's still disrespecting her. I'm waiting for a bitch fight and hoping it's with bikinis and a kiddie pool filled with butterscotch or salted caramel pudding (although chocolate would do in a pinch).
Rebecca's chopping ham. She reminds us of how much she loves Adam. He's married honey. To a riot grrrl. You don't stand a chance. Rebecca informs us that she's worked with beer before, but she's having problems with the falafel. I cannot even imagine trying to make a dessert with falafel. I think I'd probably focus more on the use of chickpeas as a workaround here, but no… she's trying to fry patties and it's just. not. working.
Orlando's using already-made vanilla wafers as they are. Uh oh. That is Not Good. When it's mentioned to him he brushes it off. Johnny's not going to be brushed off on this. Clearly Orlando did not watch season one.
Carlos is working his popcorn beautifully. I'm kind of in awe when he starts doing really creative stuff. I wish he were my dad to have treats for me when I get home from school work.
Everyone is looking good except for Chris. He's really struggling with time. And suddenly day one is over. I hope he got done what he needed to.
Did anyone else notice that Johnny never visited the kitchen? Don't they know we live to see him in his chef's jacket with his hands behind his back being all "What are you making and how is it not going to suck?" A girl's got needs.
It's Elimination Day morning. The girls are chatting from their beds about what they're making. Oh wait! Megan and Katzie are in one bed together. I thought season one had all the LGBTQRS chefs. What's going on?
Mattris are in their bedroom on neighboring twin beds. They're laying opposite directions so they can gaze soulfully at each other. Then Chris ruins my moment by talking about being away from his one-month-old baby. Matthew's own daughter is pretty young and he understands. We see pictures of her and his wife and they are lovely. He talks to his little girl on the phone. It's sweet and adorable. Ohhhh. The little girl shouts "I love you" before they hang up. My ovaries just exploded like a smooshed cream puff!
They get to Angel City Brewery where they're to set up and prepare for serving and judging. The space is awesome and filled with huge murals.
Then Matthew does the unexpected and amazing. He puts his gravy in a whip cream canister to make it foam. He sprays some to taste and says, "Just like mashed potatoes and gravy."
People come in and start tasting. A bunch of people at once. Which is a problem for Katzie because she's making fresh french fries. It's like they learn nothing from one week to the next about a la minute desserts. Everyone thinks they're an exception to the rule.
Marcel Vigneron from Top Chef All Stars (whom Sally is good friends with, apparently) comes over to her. He's the one who told her to go on the show. Now he tells her that he likes that she used all these savory ingredients, but says it doesn't taste savory. I'm not sure if that was a compliment or not. She chooses to take it as one, but…
The judges have arrived! They've got Ad-Rock and Danielle Karyllos this week. Jordan Kahn from the Quickfire has left the building. Here's what people made:
Carlos — Popcorn panna cotta, spicy cucumber air, bacon caramel, and popcorn glass. The glass looks awesome. Danielle thought the cucumber would be hidden but says you can really taste it. Ad-Rock loves the glass. People in the crowd liked the flavors and texture.
Orlando — Coffee, strawberry, and rum parfait with frozen green peas — Johnny immediately notices that the cookies all look the same (I told you!) and asks did he make them or buy them. Orlando says, "Chef, that's a secret. I'm going to have to hold off on that one." Wow. That's ballsy. Then he talks about not having time to make everything from scratch. I do not see four hours of work in this dessert. He could have made his own vanilla wafers, but he got drunk instead. Danielle finds the peas/strawberry contrast to be interesting. Johnny isn't happy. Bitchy!O isn't winning this one.
Megan — Chivas whiskey pudding cake, brass monkey sorbet, and caramelized onions — Just standing there, Gail can smell the onions. But they're all smiling and laughing which has to be a good thing, right? Ad-Rock looks at Megan and says, "Brass monkey sorbet?" And she replies that she's calling the dish "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" because of all the sugar. Gail says you can get drunk just from smelling it. Things are good and then Johnny says the cake is falling apart — they're small cakes and they've dried out while sitting there. So… maybe not good.
Educational moment: For those who don't know what Brass Monkey is… it's a cocktail typically made of equal parts dark rum, vodka, and orange juice (although there are variations on that). There's also the poor man's brass monkey, which is to take a "40", drink it down to the label then fill it up with OJ. shudder. In the 70s through 90s there was a premixed cocktail version available in bottles from half pint to 750mL in size. Now you know.
Sally — Prosciutto cake, chicken toffee sauce, and cheddar ice cream — This is a twist on a sticky toffee pudding. It's garnished with a chicharrón chicken skin. Ad-Rock looks like he's choking at first, but he's just freaking about the chicken skin, which he says is delicious. In the crowd there are people who say this dessert is their favorite. It's all about the chicken skin. I love me some chicken skin and could probably eat it with ice cream and cake no problem.
Katzie — Sweet pommes frites with sweet and savory sauces (hot honey butter, gorgonzola/pear/walnut, and provolone/chocolate/maple). She's also got shakers of different sugars. She tells them to taste whatever they want for combinations, it's meant to be fun. With the guests earlier this was a problem because they wanted more guidance. Johnny says it's all over the place — sometimes too sweet, sometimes too salty. Some guests think the concept was too easy. Oh Katzie. I predict whining later and not because people are mad you won again.
Rebecca — She gets Ad-Rock to sign her cast. Then she fangirls him hard. It makes him a little uncomfortable. It makes me a little uncomfortable. Moving on to her dessert (which is inexplicably NOT included in the plated desserts to vote for online) — Falafel panna cotta with ham pecan brittle & 40oz. ice cream. Yes, she made ice cream from beer that comes in 40oz bottles. I kind of love her. Johnny is blown over by a load of garlic in the panna cotta. Oops. Gail wishes she could taste the beer more. Oops again. Ad-Rock seems wowed that he can taste falafel. I'm wowed by the whole idea of this dessert. And a little terrified. After the judges walk away Rebecca is pretty freaked about the garlic issue.
Chris — Pork and bean brownie, pine nut cream, and naked ravioli — Gail says "Totally weird" and Ad-Rock compares the brownie to when a dog has peanut butter on the roof of his mouth. Ha ha! But he means it in a good way, of course. And that's how I took it because how is peanut butter on the roof of a dog's mouth not delightful? Johnny gets the pork and bean texture, but says he's not getting a lot of flavor. After the judges leave, Marcel (Top Chef All Star) comes over for a taste. He comments that he's not sure it works and says, "Don't be afraid if I don't finish it." Chris looks kind of pissed about that and I don't blame him.
Matthew — Cornbread and mashed potato cheesecake, whiskey caramel, and gravy foam — They're smiling and awed by the gravy whipped cream that really does taste like gravy. As someone who thinks gravy is gross I'm shuddering over here. But I also think it's a brilliant idea. He made his own chicken stock to make the gravy! He made cheesecake from potatoes. His plating is gorgeous. I kind of adore him right now. Johnny says he can taste all the pantry ingredients and seems impressed.
After the serving is done, they're tasting each others' desserts and chatting a bit. Carlos has Matthew's dessert and definitely tastes the mashed potatoes and gravy. Matthew's worried about going home. Oh baby! I think you're safe. I'm worried about Rebecca with the garlic. And Katzie who just kind of flopped.
We come back from a commercial and find out that the chefs have a little "banana game" going on. The objective: to place a banana on someone without them knowing. Carlos manages to banana Marcel's shoulder while he's talking to Rebecca. They have named the banana Pepe. There will be bonus points if anyone can banana Johnny (and that better get caught on camera if it happens). Better yet, I'd like Johnny to come banana me.
Ahem. Stew Room! Gail comes in and asks for Katzie, Megan, and Rebecca. I'm thinking they've flipped it this week and we've got the bottom three first. Sally thinks she's in the bottom again because she didn't get called. And you know she's dying that Katzie's out there.
But this Sally [thumb to chest] was right and chef Sally is wrong. — these are the least favorites.
Rebecca — Why do you think you're here? She says she was thrown by the falafel. Johnny brings up the garlic issue and Ad-Rock says the ice cream didn't taste like beer. Rebecca comments that being judged on these ingredients sucks and Gail reminds her that they're judging everyone on crazy ingredients. Danielle just looks disappointed. Rebecca cries. It's kinda sad in that it's boring.
Megan — She had some unusual ingredients and she thought she could tie it together. Johnny asks why the cake was so dry and Danielle points out that she was calling it a pudding cake, so there was an expectation of sticky and moist and "it just crumbled". Ad-Rock found the onions on the side to be weird. Megan doesn't really have a defense.
Katzie — Now she's got a defense. She says she took a risk that didn't pay off. Johnny said she should have focused on fewer condiments (although he actually "less condiments" which is wrong. Come over Johnny and I'll show you how fewer is finer and less is more.) because some flavors ruined other flavors if tasted after and there was no direction. It was hard to glean flavors from all the different combinations.
They go back to the stew room and let them know they're the least favorites. Everyone's confused and some are maybe a little angry at the change up. I've been waiting for this for a couple of weeks, I don't know how they don't see it coming.
The judges now want to see Matthew, Chris, and Sally. Carlos and Orlando are left out. I'm sure Bitchy!O is pissed, but the cameraperson spares us his face. Better safe than out, right?
These three are the absolute favorites. Matthew's so freaked:
Matthew: I'm gonna go throw-up now.
Gail: You're not allowed to throw-up because you didn't eat what we ate.
Everyone: laughter
Ad-Rock apologizes for the pork & beans and the chicken. Apparently he was the advisor on the selection of foods.
Sally — She messed up Ad-Rock for the rest of the day because all he wanted was more of the chicken skin. The salty, crunchy, creamy combination worked for Danielle.
Chris — Ad-Rock says he makes a good brownie. Johnny liked that he intentionally sabotaged himself, but it all came together and worked.
Matthew — Gail says, "Gravy on the cheesecake." They're all smiles. Johnny was impressed at how well he controlled all the flavors.
Gail turns to Ad-Rock to be the decision maker. Matthew! Yay! That's what I had hoped for because I feel like he got the most creative and fun, but still serious about it. In the stew room they all seem happy for him, which is great.
Back at the judges table… Gail thought the combos that should have been the easiest were the worst. These aren't the people with pork & beans or gravy to work with. (Although Rebecca did get falafel, which is pretty ridiculous.)
Katzie's dessert didn't seem risky to them (or to me):
Ad-Rock: And she made french fries with dipping sauces. [shrug] Not a pork & beans brownie. I'm just saying.
Johnny: You're just saying? [grin and nod]
Ad-Rock: My culinary standpoint is, I'm just sayin'
Can he come back every week? Please? Because he's maybe the best judge ever.
Moving on to Rebecca…
Ad-Rock: Again, my culinary standpoint. She f***** up.
Danielle: Yeah [trying not to laugh]
Ad-Rock: It was nasty, y'all. Come on.
Gail: [nodding]
Johnny says it was a garlic bomb.
Moving on to Megan. It was smart that she took two bottles of booze, because that's easy. But she didn't really do anything with it and the onion jam didn't connect to the rest. The onions reminded Johnny of how your mom puts something on your plate that you think isn't supposed to be there because she wants to make you eat it. I love you, Johnny. Never change.
In the stew room Megan knows that the onions didn't work. But they don't know which of them is going home.
Katzie's whining (surprise!) about how much work she put into her dessert and how she doesn't want to go home. She's stuffing he face with something (M&Ms??) and Rebecca says she needs to stop stress eating. She says it really nicely, but Katzie gets all upset. "Thanks for pointing that out." *sigh* Oh sweetie, get over yourself. Poor Rebecca apologizes and says she wasn't trying to be mean and she wasn't.
It's decision time. Who's packing up her tools and going home? Rebecca. She goes to the table and shakes hands with everyone. In the stew room she jokes about running away and eloping with Ad-Rock then she tells them that she loves all of their hair and hopes they all win. She leaves still loving the Beastie Boys but hating falafel. I love her and will miss her, her hot pink cast, and her crying. Really, I will.
Next week is all about chocolate! I love chocolate! Not just to eat, but to work with and to see what pros do with it. I hope they get Jacques
Pepin Torres (wrong Jacques, not that they aren't both amazing) to judge. There's no one in the world like him when it comes to chocolate. I predict major bitchiness from Orlando and Sally saying two mean things about Katzie. See you next week.

Anyway, my son had a scrimmage tonight and it was great to have an almost game to watch (and to take pictures of). Like I said, I am sure that I will probably be complaining about something football related in the not too distant future so please feel free to remind me of all this when I do.
This video wasn't around when Friday Night Videos was on but really it is the only video for this post. Happy Friday, everyone!!

It is easy to say that dead heroes don't save lives. It is without doubt true, but while some heroes are fabricated, there are others who want to help so badly, they fail to realize the danger to themselves and add to the casualties count. This was the case of the Illinois policeman from this video. The policeman made a fundamental mistake which cost him his life and it wasn't a responsible gun owner who killed him.
The officer was responding to a two vehicle collision on a rural road in southern Illinois. What he didn't know was that one of the vehicles carried ammonia in its tank. Ammonia is a widely used industrial chemical (fertilizer) which even though classified as toxic by inhalation, is fairly harmless if inhaled in low concentration because human body is equipped with natural processes which prevent its build-up in the bloodstream. In high concentrations, though ammonia can cause lung damage or death.
The officer who responded to the call came to the accident scene and saw a body collapsed on the road. Fumes rising from the overturned tank were very obvious, even in the video. The tank was also labelled to carry hazardous chemicals yet the officer was so focused on the person who appeared to be in immediate need of help, he disregarded the warning signs and stepped out of this vehicle to walk straight into the highly concentrated ammonia cloud.
The gas killed him almost instantly. He's heard in the video which was recorded on the cruiser's onboard camera coughing and choking and a few short seconds later, he was gone. It was a needless death which showed that becoming so concerned about somebody else's life that you stop paying attention to things which could end your life is a surefire way to add to the body count.
Props to Best Gore member Hawk for the video:

Today marks the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination, and there's still much to be learned about the personal life of the iconic former president. At times Kennedy seems like a mythical icon, shrouded in a curtain of conspiracies and the overly romanticized and distorted Camelot/ Kennedy administration metaphor.
Was Kennedy a truly great president as purported by mainstream media? Despite his political and philanthropic endeavors, like the startup of the Peace Corps, his engagement in civil rights, and his adept management of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy's personal flaws, like his dependency on drugs and his womanizing liaisons, remained hush-hush throughout much of his presidency.
Maybe that's why Americans have remained fixated on JFK. Get to know the most elusive icon in American culture: 14 Things You Didn't Know About JFK.

Lewis Hamilton will start the Malaysian Grand Prix from pole position after pipping Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in a weather struck qualifying session at the Sepang International Circuit.
The first phase of qualifying started with a bone dry track but with the threat of rain and, lightning, certainly lingering in the air. Unsurprisingly it was Hamilton who set the fastest time on the medium tyres ahead of Rosberg, with Bottas in third and just nine tenths down despite a scruffy lap and a set of hard compound tyres.
At the back of the field Roberto Merhi was struggling in his Manor after ruining his first fast lap by running wide, whilst his team mate Will Stevens was stuck in the pits with an electronic problem with his power unit. Meanwhile both Red Bulls were struggling with Ricciardo and Kvyat under pressure with five minutes to go before quick laps from the pair thrust them into the top 10.
However, as the lightning worsened and the checkered flag fell, it was the two Manor's - who will have to go to the stewards to see if they will make the grid after missing out on the 107% time - , along with the two McLarens in 17th and 18th with Button out qualifying returnee Alonso and Nasr in 16th, who bit the dust.
Q2 was a fairly quick affair with rain falling just 3 minutes into the session starting at turn one. There were early worries for both Hamilton and Raikkonen with Marcus Ericsson hindering both drivers first laps with Hamilton just managing to squeeze through in 8th but Raikkonen could only manage 11th with the downpour making it impossible to improve his time.
So with Q2 over as quickly as it had begun it was Raikkonen, Maldonado, Hulkenberg, Perez and Carlos Sainz Jr. that failed to make the cut. Meanwhile Verstappen and Ericsson both made their Q3 debuts.
After a fairly lengthy delay Q3 started in slightly damp conditions with some drivers opting to go straight onto the intermediates. Over the line however it was deja vu once again as Hamilton snatched pole just ahead of Vettel who split the Mercedes pair. Honourable mentions also go to Max Verstappen who recorded the best qualifying for a teenager in over 50 years with 6th on the grid whilst Red Bull's 4th and 5th with Ricciardo and Kvyat respectively was an improved showing on Melbourne.
1. Lewis Hamilton - Mercedes - 1:49.834
2. Sebastian Vettel - Ferrari - 1:49.908
3. Nico Rosberg - Mercedes - 1:50.299

text: NQ-Nomad 1279 Report post Posted August 23, 2017 Hi guys, Live from Gamescom 2017 in Germany, we wanted to announce some news you have been anticipating for a long time now: Pre-Alpha will be accessible to Gold Founder backers and above and the ATV members on September 30th. We just announced the news via a Press Release that will soon be uploaded on the dedicated section of our website. You probably noticed that we're calling this first public access "Pre-Alpha" and not "Alpha", as originally intended. Why? Because we are not quite ready yet to switch the game into Alpha, but we still wanted to honor our commitment to our backers. This first public glimpse of the game won't feature a proper game loop as we originally wanted but, after postponing the release a few months ago, we felt like a new delay was not appropriate. We think any additional delays, even though the game is not in the true Alpha state we had anticipated, would not be in keeping with the spirit of our commitments to our community and backers. We decided it would be better to give you access to the game at an even earlier state than to delay again. That it would be better to give you a look at where we are, rather than wait again for where we had hoped to be at this stage. We promised to be transparent and open and we think this decision is the best way to keep that pledge. We're still actively working on a number of items that must be completed before we can truly call the game "Alpha" and bring you a better gaming experience. As with any pre-release software please keep in mind that the game is still in development and that the Pre-Alpha version, while as stable as possible at this stage, will still have a number of bugs, glitches, and unexpected issues. Again, the game should be stable (as are the versions we are showing at Gamescom and next month at PAX West), and playable, but this version is very early and we ask you set your expectations accordingly. That said, we feel this is your game as well as ours and that your early feedback is necessary and vital to help drive our development in the right direction. What does it change for you? Not much. All Gold backers and above prior September 7th (as previously announced) will have access to this Pre-Alpha and future Alpha 1. New backers pledging after September 7th will get access to Alpha 2 at a later stage. The Pre-Alpha will not be accessible 24/7. Instead we will be announcing times and dates that the single-shard server will be available for testing. We'll make sure to give you plenty of advance notice of uptimes so you can plan your play times and testing with friends and other players. Because we are shifting from an Alpha to a Pre-Alpha test we may decide to ask all participants to sign an NDA and agree not to share information, screenshots or stream the game until the proper Alpha release. While we said there would be a high chance of not having any NDA for the Alpha, this Pre-Alpha is something else and we don't feel it would be appropriate for streamers and viewers to judge Dual Universe based on this extremely early version. Once the game reaches a true Alpha stage the NDA will be lifted as we originally stated. However, to allow you to share your crazy stuff with us and the community, we're currently considering creating a dedicated section of the forums for Pre-Alpha testers to share feedback, post images and videos, and other related materials. It will be the only authorized place to do that to keep it as private as possible at the beginning. Please know we aren't doing this to hide any of issues we expect in Pre-Alpha, but to help us better focus the feedback and reaction from those who are actively participating in the tests to help us reach our true Alpha goal more quickly. We know it's not ideal and that breaking the NDA will be very tempting but we wanted to give you access to the game on September 30th to keep our promise and decided to trust you guys, like you trust us everyday. On a side note, as we're currently attending Gamescom, we won't be able to be as reactive as we usually try to be, so thank you for your patience and understanding. Nyzaltar and I will try to answer your questions whenever possible. Thank you for your amazing support! We already have amazing help propositions from some of you to help us improve the game once it's live and that matters a lot to us. So this is it. See you soon in Dual Universe!

A Study In Serifs: Part 1
If you have ever had to identify a typeface so that a correction can be made to existing copy, you may have had to resort to a magnifying glass in order to assess the weight of a stressed or unstressed stroke, or to reveal the mystery of the serif in its many manifestations.
But what happens when you D-I-V-O-R-C-E these serifs from their original letterforms? Well, if you have any talent, you might come up with something similar to what the visual poet Scott Helmes has created in his Haiku Series, poems constructed entirely from parts of letters.
And where better to explore the straight line tangent to the curve than in the pages of Harper's Bazarre, the exquisitely balanced female form complementing the full-figured Ultra Bodoni, and her pale companion, the anorexic Hoefler Didot?
Above: Haiku #92 [letterpress on Fabriano and Arches; 6x7 inches]. Copyright ©2011 Scott Helmes

Micah Beckwith, a junior at Boardman High School, has made two trips to Track and Field State Competition in Columbus. He competes in the seated division in four events, and has earned All Ohioan status five times in the last two years.
Micah has a wheeler (racer chair) that he uses for the 100, 400 and 800. That chair is rented for the season and returned in August. But now, a group of supporters spearheaded by outgoing Athletic Director Denise Gorski is raising funds to buy Micah his own personal racer chair for better training opportunities.
"My husband and I have partnered with Carmella's restaurant and Mike Tomczak (former OSU quarterback, 14-year NFL quarterback, and now assistant football coach at YSU) to help raise funds to buy Micah his own personal racer chair. They range in price from $3,500-$4,500," said Gorski.

Cerezo Osaka striker Kenyu Sugimoto has been chosen as the Mastercard Player of the Month after scoring 5 goals in 4 games last month.
🏆Mastercard 月間MVP発表🏆— Jリーグ (@J_League) August 8, 2017
明治安田生命J2リーグ からは、 #ファジアーノ岡山 #赤嶺真吾 選手が受賞しました✨https://t.co/aKzuIqqBQp#Jリーグ #jleague pic.twitter.com/R5LmUXsmmz
There were only 2 players who scored 5 goals in July, Sugimoto and his former teammate Yu Kobayashi, but he was better than Kobayashi in almost all aspects, such as the number of on-target shots, the number of receiving forward passes, the number of dribbles, and the number and the win rate of aerial battles. The selection committee says that Sugimoto "has not just increased his presence as a key striker, but also been highly rated in defense and playmaking, such as defending from the front, receiving a long-range pass from the back, and breaking through the center of the pitch. That's why he has been selected without any question."
On the J.League's official website, Sugimoto commented as follows: "This is the first time for me to be selected, so I am sincerely happy. I am grateful to my teammates because without them I couldn't have scored goals. While tough games continued in the very hot weather in July, we could win because we united as one and got a big boost from the supporters. More tough games will follow from now on too, but we'll try our best to win one by one and stay at the current position."

The price of silver is expected to trade in a tight range this week ahead of Friday's jobs report, but our latest silver prediction still shows the price of silver soaring through the rest of 2016.
Before we get into our exact silver price target for 2016, here's what is moving prices this week…
Spot silver today (Wednesday) was down $0.03 at $17.46 an ounce. Precious metal traders and investors remain cautious heading into Friday's unemployment report. And a soft ADP report today raised the question if Friday's report can meet expectations.
According to today's ADP report, U.S. private employers added the fewest workers in three years in April. Signs of weak hiring activity were also present across most sectors.
Here's why this matters for the price of silver…
A weak job report on Friday would give the U.S. Federal Reserve an additional reason to pause on an interest rate increase. Those lower interest rates are bullish for silver prices. And that dovish tone from the Fed, along with a shift away from stocks by many investors, have caused silver prices in 2016 to soar.
Silver entered a bull market on April 19 after climbing to a 10-month high. Positive signs for Chinese industrial demand along with the Fed's dovish tone helped boost silver prices.
Plus, silver has more industrial uses than gold. That's another reason the price of silver in 2016 has climbed more than 23%.
Silver prices climbed 5.4% last week, closing April with a gain of 15.2%. That was silver's largest monthly gain since August 2013. On Friday, silver ended the session at $17.85, which was its best price since Jan. 28, 2015.
Prospects for even more gains for silver prices have investors are piling into silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and snapping up silver coins at a frenzied pace.
The U.S. Mint has begun rationing weekly sales of American Eagle silver coins because of silver shortages. Still, Mint sales in the month of April totaled 4,072,000. That's 42.8% higher than April 2015, when they reached 2,851,500 coins.
To date, 2016 silver Eagles total 18,914,500, 26.8% more than the 14,922,500 coins sold through the same time in record-year 2015.
But if you've missed out on the gains we've already seen in 2016, there are still plenty of market-beating gains ahead. Here's exactly how high Money Morning experts see the price of silver climbing in 2016…
Our Bold Target for the Price of Silver in 2016
Commerzbank expects the silver price to end 2016 around $18 – modestly higher than its current level.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts project silver prices will close out 2016 in the $15 to $20 range. Investment demand for the precious metal could take the silver price to $20, according to the bank.
But we see the price of silver climbing even higher. Money Morning Resource Investing Specialist Peter Krauth sees silver prices soaring 25% to the $22 mark this year. And that's likely a conservative scenario.
The key reason the silver price will advance further is the "unnaturally, incredibly cheap" relationship between silver and gold.
The silver-gold ratio – which is the amount of silver required to purchase one ounce of gold – is now at a record high.
The ratio is calculated by dividing the gold price by the silver price, and currently sits at 73. Since record keeping began in 1687, the silver-gold ratio has ranged between 14 and 100. Throughout the last century, the average ratio range has been 47 to 50.
When the ratio is high as it is now, it means silver prices are trading at a discount compared to gold.
This wide spread has traders looking at silver as a discount investment – and they are taking advantage of the cheap trade.
Some traders are swapping their gold bets for silver in anticipation of the ratio moving back to the recent 47 to 55 range. These wagers will inevitably boost silver prices higher.
For investors who want to profit from the silver price rally without storing physical silver and have access to quick buys and redemptions, Krauth suggests buying the Sprott Physical Silver Trust ETV (NYSE Arca: PSLV).
PSLV stores its silver bars and coins at a secure third-party location in Canada. Its growing market cap is $940 million, poised to soon surpass the $1 billion mark.
The trust's holdings are documented and subject to regular audits and inspections. A key perk for U.S. investors is that holding the trust for at least 12 months allows you to benefit from a 15% capital gains tax. That's much better than the 28% rate associated with most silver and gold ETFs.
