I have a fresh Debian 6.0.0 (Squeeze) server running on Hyper-V and I'm trying to get the synthetic drivers loaded into the kernel (2.6.32-5-amd64). The research I've done says that the Linux Integration Drivers should have been mereged into the .32 and greater kernel tree but I can't seem to find them in the normal /lib/modules/126.96.36.199-amd64/kernel/ directory. A modprobe also fails to locate and load the modules into the kernelspace.
I'm looking for the following kernel modules:
- hv_vmbus
- hv_blkvscb
- hv_netvsc
- hv_storvsc
Does anyone know where I can find the kernel moduels for the Hyper-V Linux Intergration Drivers? Have they been moved to their own package? Do I need to recomplile the kernel and manually build them?

Thirteenth Holistic Doctor (MD, PhD) Dies- Allegedly Jumped From 20th Floor
We are so sorry to break this news (as gently as possible) as yet another holistic doctor dies within a matter of months. My heart goes out to his friends, family, and his patients who are commenting on my Facebook page tonight about the wonderful memories of this great man.
The article linked at the bottom also says that he was married and the father to eight children.
For those who wanted to see the other holistic doctors who died suddenly these past few months (NOT counting accidents) the recap can be found here from the first to last – with video.
Dr. J.E. Block MD, PhD, FACP (aka "Doc Block") allegedly jumped from the 20th floor on Thursday, October 29th 2015 (2 days before this article was written).
From the article linked at the bottom:
Jerome E. Block, M.D., jumped to his death from the Central Park West Apartments, police said.
They said Block jumped from the 20th floor of the complex around 9:30 a.m.
The article (which describes him as a well known prominent doctor) also says that he allegedly committed medical fraud. A man who says he is his attorney (and appears to be) is disputing some of these claims as can be seen in the comments at the bottom of the link. He says if these allegations were true- Dr. Block would have lost his license. Some are calling it a smear campaign and he only died a few days ago.
There is also a link at the bottom where he said earlier this month that he was taking a sabbatical. According to the news sites- he was in his early 70s, but it appears he had been working full time.
Dr. Block's website has this to say about him in his bio:
Dr. Block specializes in Scientific and Alternative Medicine. Integrations Health Center is the premier Integrated Medicine center in Mid-America, providing not only expert traditional medical (allopathic) care, but also Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Born in Philadelphia, PA he attended medical school in New Jersey with post graduate work at USC and UCLA. He is double board certified in Internal and Urgent Care Medicine, and is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. He taught full time at UCLA and the University of Missouri before entering private practice in a small Kansas town. Prior to entering private practice, he was the chief of staff for two decades. During his time in Tulsa he has also taught at Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He is a published author, and has been a popular newspaper columnist and radio commentator. Married and the father of eight with 15 grandchildren, He currently practices full time in Tulsa Oklahoma and recently completed his Ph.D. in Integrative Medicine.
We will keep you up to date. We see comments pouring in on the the local articles and his Facebook what a wonderful man and doctor he was. Nothing but praise…
He was even listed in the top 10 best Holistic doctors for the city of Tulsa (yes, there is a Central Park West in Tulsa) on Yelp.com
We'll keep you updated as new details emerge. This is Erin Elizabeth on the E Coast of Florida on October 30th, 10pm (links below my bio w sources) Again, rest in peace to Dr. Block.
Erin Elizabeth is a long time activist with a passion for the healing arts, working in that arena for a quarter century. Her site HealthNutNews.com – where this article first appeared – is less than 2 years old, but has already cracked the top 20 Natural Health sites world-wide. She is an author, public speaker, and has recently appeared on some national tv shows because of her stories on the holistic doctors unintended series. You can get Erin's e-book for free here and also watch a short documentary on how she overcame vax injuries, Lyme disease, significant weight gain, and more. Follow Erin on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

The 2005 Ted Synders Award recipient
was Nancy Schmautz (photo left) of Calgary, Alberta. Nancy has been involved with and
committed to the carwash industry since 1983. In 1999, at the first CARWACS
show in Calgary, the then CCA President Mike Black (photo right) was involved in helping to establish
the Western Chapter and approached Nancy to assist with this effort.
She agreed to become the founding President of the CCA's Western Chapter –
an important initiative of the CCA designed to reach out to fellow carwash
operators who are grappling with regulatory and other issues unique to the Western Provinces.
Nancy has been an influential member of the CCA Board and has spearheaded a number of
initiatives related to environmental regulation, municipal zoning and strategic alliances
with organizations such as the Yellow Fish Road Foundation. She, of course, was also
instrumental in growing theh CCA Western membership base.
After seven years of dedicated service to the CCA, Nancy decided to step down as President
of the Western Chapter. In recognition of her outstanding service to the carwash industry, the
CCA Board present to her the 2005 Ted Synders Award.
The Canadian Carwash Association owes its foundation, literally, to Ted Snyders who spent all
his working and volunteer life in the carwash industry. Ted finally retired six years ago at the age of 83.
When asked recently what his fondest memory of the CCA was he responded with, "There's a 101 of them".
However he did add, "I am amazed how much can be accomplished if you join together rather than do things separately".

analyse imagine transform
What is the issue?
Groups, organisations and authorities sometimes need to rethink or transform their activity or structure but struggle to see the wood for the trees (or the trees for the wood!) and don't know where to start.
What we offer
Community Catalysts is able to help communities, organisations, authorities and policy makers to:
• Analyse their current situation
• Imagine how things might be different
• Plan and implement transformational change
• Use co-design and co-production techniques throughout
We start by learning all about the service, organisation, system or approach – engaging and listening to the people involved. We find out what works well, what people think could be better, and capture ideas for development. We make sure that we understand as much as possible about the running costs and where the money comes from to fund it. We discuss what the service, organisation, system or approach might look like if it restructured, refocused or operated differently. We use all that information, along with our experience, to analyse and present all the options, make recommendations and suggest a plan for change. We can also provide ongoing expertise and support as the service, organisation, system or approach transforms.
Examples of this in practice
Community Catalysts' work with the national NHSE Integrated Commissioning Programme (IPC)
Our Innovation Challenge Project in Leicestershire – a coproduction project in partnership with housing providers and their tenants.Read about the project here
Work with Camphill Village Trust (CVT) to analyse their current work and design the development of a new Shared Lives service
"Helen Allen facilitated a very successful workshop to bring together two groups of staff to look at partnership work. She brought a great mix of energy, expertise, knowledge and humour which made the day productive, as well as focussed and fun: Helen connected with all the staff who felt fully engaged and involved in the process" Helen Sutcliffe Leeds Shared Lives Scheme Manager

How to fund a Youth Panel and other exciting projects
This week/Last week Elizabeth Crawford, who is the Trusts and Foundations Officer at IWM, came in to speak to us about how IWM is funded and her work with Trusts and Foundations, and also how we as the Youth Panel are funded. Thanks to the generosity of The Forces Trust, who have kindly funded us, we are now completely funded for this academic year, which is tremendously brilliant! The Forces Trust is a charity that was formed in 1924, after the death of Mrs. Minnie Harriet Allen who left her estate to be given to military personnel and charities; to this day, they still support military personnel and their families.
Afterwards, we had the opportunity to relook at our Family captions, which will form the basis of a trail for young people in the new First World War Galleries opening this July. These had been reviewed by the First World War Exhibition team .We then separated into groups and worked on four captions each, deciding whether to change certain aspects of the captions as suggested or keep them the same. We then looked at other groups ideas to see whether we agreed with them. Afterwards we looked at our photoshoot pictures. We looked through them and found our favourites to use in the future. The picture above is us all at work on the family captions.
Lunch followed with Elana taking on the role of Youth Panel Food Secretary. She had arranged for food to be delivered on a Saturday so we all enjoyed sandwiches, fruit and little cake slices.
After lunch we were visited by 14 – 18 NOW Producer, Angela McSherry, who told us about a 'top secret' programme she wanted our help in. We can't tell you too much about it yet so WATCH THIS SPACE… It was very interesting for all of us, and we really hope she asks us to help her again in the future of the programme!

Credit cards aren't everything. It's true that without credit cards we wouldn't have e-commerce as we know it and to this day they remain the "glue that binds overseas markets together" – but if credit cards are so great, then why have so many alternative payment methods sprung up to meet new demands, and why are alternative payments projected to overtake credit cards in market share by 2017?
Cross-border e-commerce is a rapidly growing and continuously evolving industry. As one of the industry's leading service providers, we'd like to offer you a better understanding of the role alternative payments play in the industry, beginning with a closer look at cross-border e-commerce.
The value of e-commerce payments processed by alternative means was up 21% in 2013, and is predicted to account for 59% of the total global e-commerce market by 2017.
Global Coverage: Beyond Credit Cards
International expansion has never been as easy as it is today. The global digital economy has reached a level of maturity which has encouraged many jurisdictions to put forward initiatives designed to tear down geopolitical borders even further, such as the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA).
But even after the implementation of SEPA, meant to harmonise the formerly-fragmented national markets of Europe, regionally distinct payment habits remain. This is a driving reason why it's imperative that you, as a business owner with cross-border aspirations, need to get to know and love the world of alternative payments.
Types of alternative payments:
- E-wallet – Payments made using a digital wallet. E-wallet providers allow consumers to store funds in an account and use it to make online purchases.
- Direct debit – Funds are taken directly from the customer's bank account. Direct debits are popular for smaller and more frequent payments.
- Mobile (direct carrier) – Purchases made directly from a smartphone are charged to the carrier and added to the consumer's next phone bill.
- Mobile (m-wallet) – Similar to an e-wallet but integrated directly with the consumer's phone. Can also be leveraged at the point-of-sale (POS) with the right technologies in place.
- Other – including local card schemes, pre-pay, post-pay, e-invoicing and digital currencies.
With 57% of the e-commerce market, credit cards are still the dominant payment method, though that number is predicted to drop to 41% by 2017. When taking your e-commerce business across borders, credit card support is a must, but don't forget that alternative payments are a rapidly growing segment in most domestic markets.
The trouble with alternatives is that payment preferences vary widely across different markets. For example, some markets such as Canada have national direct debit systems with widespread consumer acceptance, while others have no direct debit system in place at all.
E-wallets, the most popular and fastest growing form of alternative payments globally, have achieved widespread acceptance among young consumers in mature markets such as the US and the UK, due to their ease-of-use and affordability. In China, e-wallets account for 44% of the total e-commerce market.
Meanwhile in emerging markets such Indonesia and India, most consumers have their first e-commerce experience via their mobile phones, as the public has only recently had access to widespread connectivity. While few people in these markets have PCs or laptops, smartphone penetration is high and rising, so m-commerce is becoming the norm.
M-Commerce: A Game-Changer
It's long been said that mobile is going to have a transformative effect on commerce, yet year after year the best estimates for m-commerce growth have proven to be too optimistic. Even so, mobile payments contributed to more than 10% of global e-commerce in 2013 and industry experts believe that a boom is overdue, especially considering that over 1.7 billion smartphones are in use globally and that number is growing at a rate of 25%.
The main thing holding back m-commerce has been insufficient technologies, but as more merchants around the world get on board with mPOS terminals and the user experience is continually refined, consumers are getting more confident in mobile payments. This coupled with the growth of m-commerce as the primary alternative payment methods in developing nations suggests that we are on the brink of a shift.
In certain industries, direct carrier billing has been widely accepted already. Because there is no sign-up involved and no personal information is required, consumers feel secure purchasing from stores such as iTunes or Google Play on their smartphones.
But the true market disturber is the mobile wallet. Still in their infancy and for the most part only available in specific areas, many analysts believe that when m-wallets reach widespread acceptance, they have the potential of replacing payment cards entirely. This is due to the fact that, like credit cards but unlike e-wallets, with new mPOS technologies m-wallets can be widely used both online and at the point-of-sale.
Why Go Global?
You may be asking yourself "If alternative payments are so complex, why should I bother?" The short answer: leveraging alternative payments in your cross-border e-commerce strategy is nothing short of a guarantee for higher sales.
The longer answer: alternative payments are forecast to account for over 20% of the total European financial market by 2020. In Germany, they already account for 66% of the e-commerce market, while credit cards account for less than 20%. As one of the strongest economies in Europe, selling in Germany without leveraging alternative payments would be a staggering misstep.
With domestic markets becoming more saturated and cross-border e-commerce becoming the norm, online merchants are less and less likely to perceive selling internationally as too complicated and not worth the trouble. On average, merchants are already seeing 15-20% of their traffic coming from non-local visitors. Increasingly, both merchants and consumers don't view e-commerce in terms of locality – where you are is having less of an effect on who you sell to and who you buy from.
Online businesses simply need to tailor their services to local preferences by working with local acquiring partners in each distinct region, because there is one thing for certain: regardless of the geographical region, consumers around the world want choice. Wherever you do business, people want alternative ways to pay and it's up to you to provide them.

E.ON acquires wind energy project company Vortex
Expansion of onshore activities in Germany planned
E.ON wants to produce more wind energy in Germany. To implement this strategy, E.ON Climate & Renewables is now taking over the German activities of Kassel-based Vortex Energy.
Vortex has been developing, realising and operating onshore wind farms in Germany since 2004. The project pipeline includes wind farms with a total volume of 300 megawatts and a large number of projects at an early stage of development. This ideally complements E.ON's activities in the construction and operation of German wind farms.
"We see strong growth potential for wind energy in Germany. Vortex's outstanding expertise and regional networking are a key factor for us to exploit this potential and compete for the best locations," says Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath, CEO of E.ON Climate & Renewables.
"Vortex Energy sees the acquisition by E.ON Climate & Renewables as the ideal opportunity to successfully realize its project pipeline in Germany and maintain sustainable growth. For the employees of Vortex, the transaction provides future security and excellent prospects," emphasizes Till Jeske, CEO of the Vortex Energy Group.
Vortex will continue its business from Kassel with an unchanged market presence. With Vortex Energy Deutschland GmbH, 30 employees are transferred to E.ON. The activities of the Vortex Energy Group in Poland and Belgium are not part of the acquisition. The transaction is subject to approval by the relevant antitrust authorities.
This press release may contain forward-looking statements based on current assumptions and forecasts made by E.ON Group Management and other information currently available to E.ON. Various known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors could lead to material differences between the actual future results, financial situation, development or performance of the company and the estimates given here. E.ON SE does not intend, and does not assume any liability whatsoever, to update these forward-looking statements or to align them to future events or developments.

Riding Tips for Road Uphill Climbing
Riding on flat land is one thing; you can gain speed and create an effective rhythm and cadence for yourself. But once you hit a steep hill, your previous rhythm may not be realistic anymore. Since most race courses will have a variety of hills, it's important that you practice climbing uphill on roads by adding hilly areas to your training routine. By knowing when to change gears and let faster riders go ahead, you can save your energy so uphill climbing doesn't slow your race performance.
Stay in Your Seat
It may be tempting to stand up on your pedals to put the most power into your down stroke when you attack a steep hill. While it can certainly help you ascend the hill faster, standing up expends a lot of your energy, which you'll need to conserve for the rest of the course. Instead, try to stay seated, suggests the Foundations of Wellness website maintained by UC Berkeley. The uphill climb may be slower, but it will be easier on your body and your energy level.
Assume the Power Position
How you sit and the way you pedal make a large difference on the quality and speed of your uphill climb. While you want to conserve your energy, you want to put power in your legs to continue pedaling as it becomes more difficult. First, switch to a slower gear for your new pedaling rhythm. Then, slide back in your seat and apply pressure down into your heels on the down stroke. When your heel comes back to the top of the pedal revolution, lift your heel as though you're running, suggests "Bicycling" magazine. This technique gives you the added power you need to ascend the hill.
Keep Your Rhythm
You may notice other bikers pulling ahead of you on hills. Allow them to pass and keep your own rhythm and cadence in check. It can be tempting to speed up to keep up with opponents, but if you're not used to their speed and rhythm, you may find yourself exhausted at the bottom of the hill, warns the Cycling Performance Tips website. Know that you can always make up time on flatter areas. Don't allow other bikers to change your rhythm. If it helps, hum a song or count out your cadence in your head or with your breathing to finish the hill on your own terms.
Train for Hills
Ensure that you place a few hills in your training routine so you know how to position yourself and breathe through the hills in a race. While a flat course is desirable in training to practice for speed, you'll still need to add challenging hills so that an ascent in a race doesn't throw you off guard.

Mad monks and the order of the tin ear
Publication Details
D'Arcens, L. & Monagle, C. Mad monks and the order of the tin ear. Meanjin 74 .4 (2015): 106-113.
The Middle Ages have had a lot of bad publicity lately. Take, for instance, Wolf Hall, the BBC miniseries adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Tudor novels, which appeared on Australian screens in 2015. Here the spirit of the Middle Ages is embodied in Thomas More, played with fastidious spite by Anton Lesser. In Mantel's take on Henry VIII's break with the Roman Church, More the urbane humanist is replaced by More the obdurate Catholic, whose protection of the Church's authority 'stretching back for a thousand years' is shown to be pious, sadistic and political—a triangulation that has become received shorthand for medieval. Even More's most defining quality, his conscience, is shown to be shot through with intransigence and a perverse pleasure in martyrdom. Far from being the Man for All Seasons, he has become the Man of the Past, superseded by his nemesis Thomas Cromwell, played with roguish appeal by Mark Rylance. The Machiavelli-reading Cromwell is Mantel's figure of modernity. Self-made, cosmopolitan, pragmatic and sceptical (indeed almost secular), he is less 'hammer of the monasteries' than jackhammer to the entire creaking edifice of the pre-modern.

Love and Other Drugs is a recent movie starring Jake Gyllenhall and Anne Hathway directed by Edward Zwick. It is a movie which starts of a romantic comedy and becomes a serious romantic drama by the end with themes as varied as Phamaceutical Marketing, Parkinson's disease and the mismatched but free-spirited couple who cant help falling in love.
Jake Gyllenhall plays a marketing guy who can sell anything to anyone, especially if that anyone is a woman. He is a natural charmer, smooth talking casanaova who doesn't hesitate to bed his customer and undercut his opponent to sell. He is a Medical Representative for Pfizer trying to sell anti-depressant drugs to the Doctors and trying them to prescribe his drug over the rival's more successful one. He meets Anne Hathway suffering from early symptoms of Parkinson's disease, a free spirited woman who is perhaps the first one not to fall for him. As it happens the two gets attracted towards each other and have endless rounds of sex and fun but are wary of commitment or their own reasons.
The film starts of with a fast pace and shows the cut-throat pharmaceutical market of prescription drugs in America and how doctors and medical representative gang up for their mutual benefits. The film changes tracks into a romantic drama and concentrates on the sex-affair between the leads and onset of Parkinson's disease in Anne Hathaway's character Maggie Murdoch. Jake Gyllenhall's Jamie Randall tries his best to get a cure for the incurable disease and helplessly falls in love with her but Maggie does not want anyone's support in her life. The launch of sex-drug Viagra propels Jamie as one of the leading and most popular medical rep translating into a promotion to Chicago. But he realizes how much he desires Maggie, Jamie lets go that and in the end the couple is seen to be living together.
The film is strictly okay for a one time watch and promised lot more in the first half but settles into an ordinary romantic drama by the end. Anne Hathaway acts powerfully and is completely uninhibited. Jake Gyllenhaal perfectly suits as the charming, smooth talking casanova sales representative. The movie is quite well shot but feels slightly longer and dragging by the end. The movie has some real strong and bold sex scenes and situations and its safe to assume that this movie would never release formally in Indian theaters.
My Ratings – 6.5/ 10 – Watch it for sizzling chemistry between the leads and a nice inside view of the murky pharmaceutical market of America

There are two categories for workers entering the U.S. They are permanent visas and temporary visas. If your work only calls for a temporary stay for employment, you would need to apply for a nonimmigrant visa with the assistance of a good immigration lawyer.
If you wish to live in the USA permanently, you need a green card or immigrant visa.
The H1B is a temporary visa for workers. Applicants for this visa must have a level of expertise in their field. Technology and biotech firms most commonly use this visa. Persons working for the Department of Defense also qualify. The H1B requires that you have a temporary intent to reside in the United States on a temporary basis. You must hold a highly specialized knowledge, which you can apply as well as a bachelor s or higher degree in your specialty. Many jobs qualify for a H1B visa including accountants, business executives, computer programmers, designers, engineers, journalists, pharmacists, and scientists.
Green cards or immigrant cards allow you to remain in the U.S. on a permanent basis for live and work. Worker s Green Cards fall into five preference categories Worker s Green Cards fall into five preference categories.

BERLIN : German fashion house Hugo Boss has named Mark Langer, its finance chief since 2010, as the company's new chief executive to bring the business back on track after disappointing results recently.
Langer, who has been with Hugo Boss for 13 years, replaces Claus-Dietrich Lahrs, who stepped down in February after a profit warning after a steep fall in sales in the United States and China.
"Due to my long-standing work for Hugo Boss I have a clear understanding of the company's potential and know what we need to do to get it back on track for profitable and sustainable growth," Langer said in a statement on Monday.
Hugo Boss this month said that it will seek to cut costs by renegotiating rents, shutting stores and shifting marketing spending back to its core menswear business.

McConnell blasts EPA over regulations
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell accused President Barack Obama's administration Wednesday of declaring war on Kentucky's coal industry through onerous regulations and said it is time for Congress to rein in the Environmental Protection Agency.
Speaking at a meeting of the Kentucky Coal Association in Lexington, McConnell also called for Senate passage of a bill he is co-sponsoring to require the EPA to "act within a reasonable time frame" in handling mining permits.
Bill Bissett, president of the association, said some permits have been pending as long as five years, and applicants do not know how to proceed.
McConnell's proposed Mining Jobs Protection Act, also co-sponsored by U.S. Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and James Inhofe, R-Okla., would benefit the coal industry, Bissett said.
"We are basically in a game of time management with regulators that we cannot win," he said.
The EPA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Dubai [UAE], Jun 15 (ANI): Bangladesh fast bowling coach Courtney Walsh on Saturday said that West Indies players Chris Gayle and Andre Russell are very dangerous and it is paramount that Bangladesh contains the batsmen in their upcoming match in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.
"They are two dangerous players we have to try to restrict and get them out at the same time to have more control of the game. We will be focused on their team itself because they have very good players in their team as well. I am sure we can perform as a team against West Indies," International Cricket Council (ICC) quoted Walsh as saying.
West Indies and Bangladesh recently squared off against each other in the tri-nation series in Ireland. Bangladesh defeated Windies in the finals of the tournament.
Bangladesh got off to a good start in the World Cup as they defeated South Africa in their first match. But the team's campaign derailed a bit as they lost their games against England and New Zealand. Bangladesh's match against Sri Lanka got abandoned due to rain.
"We were very consistent in every department right throughout that Tri-Nation series. We have been hampered a little bit by the weather here. It is out of our control. If we can get the consistency in the next couple of games, who knows what can happen," Walsh said.
Walsh who scalped 746 wickets in his international career for the Windies said discipline is the key for bowler's success in cricket.
"You have to have pace sometimes but for me, consistency, control, and execution is more important. If you don't have the 140-150kph pace, then you have to compensate for that. We have certainly been consistent, hitting the right areas and getting good variation," Walsh said.
"The guys have been working hard but you will have bad games here and there. Consistency is the key for us, and try to get good variation," he added.
Bangladesh takes on West Indies in their next match of the World Cup on June 17 at Taunton. (ANI)

L: Lancaster - Laroche
Wrestling Heritage A-Z
Larry Lancaster
For a couple of years, 1964 and 1965, Larry Lancaster was a busy worker for Joint Promotions, with opponents that included top heavyweights Steve Veidor, Sean Regan and Yuri Borienko. Most of his bouts were for Dale Martin Promotions in the south of England. Regular appearances in Portsmouth lead to a suspicion that he may have lived nearby. To his credit the boy did travel, and he worked in the north of England for Norman Morrell,
Jack Land
See the entry for Karl Von Kramer
Rex Lane
Like many other professional wrestlers Rex Lane made the transition from fan to backroom boy (he put the ring up at Middlesbrough Town Hall) to getting thrown around in the gym, often by his mate Dicky Swales. We are often surprised that many wrestlers are unable to remember the year, let alone the date, when they made their professional debut. Rex has no excuse because a couple of important things happened to him in 1981, more or less at the same time. He got married and went to Scarborough on his honeymoon. Whilst there he and his new bride went to the wrestling, only to find that the promoter was a man short. You know what's coming, don't you? Seeing Barry in the audience the promoter turned to him for help. Wouldn't we all have welcomed the chance to make a few bob on our honeymoon? In the years that followed Rex travelled the country and the world, working for top promoters such as Max Crabtree, Bobby Barron, and Jackie Pallo. Happy memories include great matches with Greg Valentine and Pete Ross, driving to London with Haystacks holding the car door in place after accidentally pulling it off as he climbed in, working in Spain and Germany; whilst a moment of great sadness as he partnered Mal Kirk on the night that he died.
Jack Lang
Jack Lang was a powerfully built middleweight from Crewe who had a background as a BAWA weightlifting champion. He was a very strong man with an enormous chest, neck and shoulders.
Jack's real name was Harry Green and there was already a prominent wrestler by that name so he was re-branded for the professional ring as Jack Lang.
He wrestled in the Midlands and North in the late'60s and '70s, mainly for Independent promoters but also for Wrytons Promotions at one time. His opponents included Pete Lindberg (billed as the Clash of the Strongmen), Lew Roberts, Gordon Corbett, Jack Martin, Eddie Rose and Paul Mitchell.
Lew Roberts remembers Jack with some bitterness, for Lew had his first bout with Lang who showed him no mercy and dished out a fairly savage beating. Lew then came to the Panther's Gym in Manchester where a couple of the local hard men took him under their collective wing and showed him how to even the score with Lang which he did two years later when he broke Lang's nose in a bout described as " a bit of a ding-dong" by promoter Jack Cassidy.
Jack went to Australia for several years and wrestled extensively, his robust style earning him a good reputation. He was a serious-minded wrestler who was not interested in anything else but overcoming opponents with his great strength. Outside the ring he was a cheerful man with a hearty sense of humour, a contrast to his ring personality.
After retiring from wrestling Jack trained as a Physical Therapist and set up practice in South Wales until his death in the early years of the century.
Bob "Legs" Langevin
Legs Langevin was an adventurous twenty-something when he came from his Canadian home to wrestle in Britain between 1936 and the outbreak of world war two. He went on to a career of almost forty years and travelled extensively, wrestling legendary stars that included Strangler Lewis, Jim Londos, and Lou Thesz. In Britain he shared a ring with top overseas visitors that included Jack Sherry and Karl Pojello as well as domestic stars. Born in Quebec Bob worked as a farm worker and in a brewery before taking up wrestling. Both were physical jobs and developed the enormous strength that was to serve him well in the wrestling rings. At the Montreal YMCA he came under the guidance of pro wrestlers Leo Lefebvre, Frank Sexton and Yvon Roberts. Unsurprisingly the nickname "Legs" resulted from his strong legs and a specialty move, the airplane head scissors, which he claimed was no longer used following his retirement. With the outbreak of war approaching Bob returned to Canada where he joined the Montreal police for the duration of the war. He resumed his wrestling career in 1945 and was to remain working for more than a quarter of a century and then became involved in the promotional side.
Bob Legs Langevin died on October 8th, 2005, aged 91.
Steve Studs Lannigan
A man who was at the front of the queue when the facial hair was dished out. He was a rumbustious Salford heavyweight who fans seemed to enjoy watching but made little long term impact on the wrestling scene. Nevertheless, he did notch up around half a dozen television appearances between 1982 and 1986, so that's not too bad.
He was the Leicester tearaway who turned pro in 1961, billed in the early days as John Howard. Jon was one of the Jack Taylor stable who became a fixture on the midlands and northern independent circuit of the 1960s against the likes of Mick Collins, Ron Marino and Taffy Jenkins. The move across to Joint Promotions in 1970, alongside brother Pete brought national exposure and thousands of more fans to jeer their villainy. He soon became a regular in televised tag matches alongside brother Pete. Fared better in local halls than on the small screen and the brothers had verdicts over established teams such as The White Eagles and The Dennisons. Their tactics didn't go down well with the crowd, particularly in Digbeth where they were always assured a hostile reception.
Pete Lapaque (Pepe Lapaque, Helsinki Express, Young Pierre)
Like his brother Jon, Leicester's Pete Lapaque emerged from the Jack Taylor weekend gymnasium to become an independent regular who went on to find fame on television and throughout the country in Joint Promotion rings.
A youngster on the East Midlands independent scene of the early sixties known variously as Young Pierre, Pierre La Toure, Pierre Du Barry, Pierre Du Prey, Pierre De Roma a quick change of nationality to the Helsinki Express before finding success as Pepe, soon to become anglicised into Peter Lapaque.
Whatever the name, and whether in singles combat or with his brother Pete Lapaque was one of the ring's rogues, in the nicest possible way of course.
A World of Sport regular right up until 1988's final bell, losing against Johnny Saint just six weeks before wrestling disappeared from our television screens.
Frequently disqualified in tag action alongside brother Jon, or as The Rockers with Tommy Lorne. Disqualified even in single combat against Steve Logan. Career highlight must rate as the family's sole tv success when Pete defeated Ricky Wiseman.
Leno Larazzi

Guy LaRoche
Gypsy Guy LaRoche was a rule bending French middleweight who made frequent visits to the United Kingdom during the 1950s. The photograph shows LaRoche about to throw Rene Ben Chemoul from the ring.
Roger LaRoche
One time European and World middleweight champion who visited Britain in the 1950s and early 1960s. In September 1954 he defeated Jack Beaumont at Belle Vue, Manchester, in a bout for the World Middleweight Championship. LaRoche visited Britain during the 1950s and 1960s, wrestling Steve Logan on tv in April, 1962.

[This post is part of my Green Smoothie series]
Ever heard of a green smoothie with cinnamon? No, neither have I! In order to keep up with the festive theme of the last few weeks, I've tried to come up with a "holiday green smoothie". It turned out to be a refreshing mix of apples, banana, cinnamon and romaine lettuce. You hardly notice the romaine lettuce, the smoothie tastes more like applesauce, but an applesauce you can drink! It's smooth and creamy with a hint of cinnamon, the perfect flavor during the holidays.
Romaine and Apple Cinnamon Green Smoothie Recipe
In a blender, combine romaine, apple, banana, cinnamon, ice and water. Blend on the highest speed until smooth and creamy.

Can you replace the lettuce with spinach?
Just whipped up a batch…delicious. You could even add a pinch more cinnamon if you like. (Confession – this is my FIRST EVER green smoothie and I plan on making them more often, hopefully everyday!)This will be added of my Green Smoothie Recipe Notebook! Thank you!
So good! Not all lettuce smoothies taste good to me. They're sometimes too bitter, but the bananas sweeten it up nicely. Thanks!

I have a question regarding my leaking refrigerator that no one can seem to help me with. The air vent from the freezer leaks into the fridge all the time.
I know the common cause is blockage, ice or other, but there isn't any. I have completely disassembled the freezer and there has never been an obstruction. There is no ice blocking the freezer drain, coils are free of ice, the
drain tubes are not obstructed, water pours through them freely, etc.
What else could be the cause of this? I can't seem to get an answer from anyone.
The only place water comes from is the air vent. I have been keeping a pan underneath it to stop the water from pouring down the back wall and then out of the front onto the floor.
With no ice blocking the vent I can't figure out why it drips there all the time? The only answer I seem to get from anyone is that it's an ice blockage, which it isn't.
Any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Is it really Barack Obama or has the dream yet to come?
Who are the Negro People?
Dr. RaDine Amen-ra Harrison-Pitts

As the new U.S President B. Obama touts about being the embodiment of the late DR. Martin Luther King dream for America, I can't help but wonder, who are the people DR. King is talking about when he speaks of the Negro People? Who are the Negro people?

Has anyone taken the time to read and comprehend Dr. Martin Luther Kings I HAVE A DREAM speech, if they did they will notice there is no mention of African people, African struggle, African Americans.

I Have a Dream states "One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition."

He only mentions the condition of the Negro people in their homeland of America and their relationship with the new nation of the United States. At some point in time a person reading this speech should want to clarify, "Who are the Negro People- the blacks as they are identified?" To answer these questions one needs to identify some facts.

What does the term Negro signify? The term Negro people signify the Indigenous American people or Amerindians the colonial term used to represent them is Negro The Negro American race or black Americans represent the continuation of the remaining natural linage and bloodlines of the indigenous American People belonging the land of America before European invasion born from American Indian women. The founding father of the U.S established a new form of society on American soil. In this new society American Indian women and her descendants are used to SERVE as human commodity (slaves) people living in freedom(without their natural rights to self determination) but not being free (collective self determination) in the United States. Negro people represent the descendants from American Indian women or enslaved American Indians of America.

He continues and speaks about the full citizenship promised by the U.S to all Negro people in their homeland, and reveals the fact the U.S has not kept its promise; he states the Negro People have received a "Bad Check".

"It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds"

What is the deal the United States made with the Negro leadership for the Negro people 1868. The U.S. promised "Citizenship" to the Negro people? If a person would do their research, they would find that the 1868 treaty with Abe Lincoln established the Union of the American Indian people as Negros with the United States and the continent of land belonging to the American Indian people was put in a land trust to be governed by the United States in exchange for American Indian people born from American Indian women were to receive full citizenship meaning the same rights as the people who enslaved them and self determination to develop themselves under this new nation umbrella.

Understanding past U.S history explains why Dr. King 's dream of seeing an integrated society's Negro and Euro-American people working as equals in this nation? The big secret is - The Negro People are the people who are allowing the Nation to exist, without their land there is no Nation, with out there peace there is "no prosperity of this Nation" He also threatened the Negro race of people will not rest until they have justice. In other words "NO Justice, NO Peace" All black American people can attest we are not treated equal nor are we treated equally or regarded as citizens,. In 2009 our people still languish on the out skirts of Euro-American society and the Marjory are captured and living in Prisons, our children live in extreme poverty, we lack collective employment as a nation we are on the brink of extinction. The difference today is Negro people as black American for generations have been forced and influence to assimilate into European attitudes and culture they have lost their connection to their ancestral American Indian culture and connection to their Natural homeland. As a result they lack respect, dignity, hope or direction.

Now that some facts have been revealed, the question to ponder is how did the new elected African president become the ideal of DR. Martin Luther King and the Negro People? Or better yet Why is President Barack Obama a European and African decent immigrant being used to personify the dream of Martin Luther King for the Negro people in the Negro Homeland instead of a Negro president for the country that has yet to give them a GOOD check, Wouldn't a Negro president show the world, the dream of Martin Luther King has for his people finally came to pass? The answer is President B. Obama does not represent Dr. King's dream he had for the Negro People. President, B Obama represents a distortion of the Dream, and the Negro people are being Con out of their pants again by the Euro- American (U.S) society and (U.S) media at large.

So exactly what is the semantics around Barack Obama? A European and African decent immigrant who is now a Negro Person, or are Negro people becoming Africa immigrants to their homeland thru identifying themselves with Barack Obama. Is there a national identity switch going on? Are the Negro people being duped out of the dept the United States owes them, the one DR. Martin Luther King spoke about? Are today's Negro people being setup to be permmentily homeless people, with no place to be fruitful and multiply on the planet? If Negro or black American people become immigrants don't they lose all there human and inalienable rights to live in the U.S, and lose their civil privileges by becoming immigrants to there homeland through identifying President Barack Obama as one of them? Yet he is a Kenyan African not an American Negro? Will this enable the U.S to destroy the dream of Martin Luther King and remove any claim the Negro people have in the Negro Homeland?

LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT
As a result, Negro people are being bamboozled again with a new perception that racism has stop in America against them, when in fact the systematic extermination of Negro people are filling up the jails and the graves, the only difference now is that they have a man named Barack Obama to cover over the crimes being committed against them and keep the people invisible and confused. It is a fact most black/Negro people lack education in their heritage, history, and most Negro women have been educated to have little respect for understanding their collective purpose as creators of the race and the sacred Grace we hold- it is woman that nature in trusts to continue their humanity as a valuable part of nature to the planet If they did they would not say they are black and they would understand B Obama is not the first Negro president and recognize and respect Michelle Obama is the first Negro woman in the White house and stand proud because her presence in the White House is a huge strike against the stigma from colonialism of Negro women as inferior woman, while our people understand that the struggle of equality represented by a Negro Man as president has yet to come part of Dr. Kings dream has started but yet to be completely fulfilled. It is up to us not to lose site of who we are and represent, our struggle is not over. It is time to recognize your indigenous identity.

Day 19
Clean Up Social Network Privacy Pt 1: Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube, Google
DAY 19: Clean Up Social Network Privacy Pt 1: Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube, Google
Welcome to Day 19 of my 30 day security challenge, the month long challenge I created to help you gain control of your privacy and security online. You can follow along with the security challenge via my blog at snubsie.com, where you can skip ahead or download a checklist of the challenge. Each video will also be curated into a playlist so it'll be easy to follow along from Day 1 all the way through 30 here on Youtube.
Today is all about cleaning up some important accounts online. This will be a two parter, focusing on specific accounts and websites for two days. Today we'll be going through Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube and Google.
On each of these sites, I'll walk you through the settings you should change to have a secure account and what to change. The layout of these sites or privacy settings may change overtime - keep that in mind if you're watching this video in the future!
First is Twitter. Go over to Twitter.com on a desktop or laptop browser and login. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and click on settings and privacy. Starting from the Account menu if you haven't done it already, scroll down to Security and set up a Code Generator App so you get two factor authentication codes on your phone. Next, turn on "Password Reset Verification", then scroll down and hit save, and type in your password at the prompt.
Next, click on Privacy and Safety. If you want your profile to be private, click on the box next to Protect Your Tweets. This will keep anyone who isn't following you from seeing your tweets. You'll need to approve followers before they can read 'em. Next, turn off Tweet with a Location and click on Delete Location Information. This will ensure your tweets aren't being sent with an address or city listed. Under Photo tagging, you can edit who can tag you in photos, then change Discoverability options as you see fit. These are self explanatory. Next is Personalization and Data - click on the Edit button and disable everything. Twitter for teams is a thing for coworkers. If you don't think you'll need to tweet from other accounts, just turn it off. Turn off Direct Messages from anyone, and check Don't allow anyone to add you to groups. Under Safety, check anything that you personally see fit. Next, under the Password option, you can create a new password if you haven't already, along with generating temporary ones for other devices or apps. Under Mobile, you can add your phone number so you receive text notifications for different settings. Under Notifications, you can turn on a quality filter and mute specific words from showing up in your timeline. Browse down to Apps to revoke access of third party apps, and under Your Twitter Data, scroll down to account access history and check recent logins. See anything weird? Go back to that Apps tab and revoke access. Remove any Places You've Been. Lastly is information about your Interests, which you can curate by clicking on the links to each list, and Accessibility is the last menu, which allows you to turn off Video Autoplay.
Next is Snapchat. From your phone, open Snapchat and click on the little ghost, then click the little gear icon. Scroll down to the Who Can... menu, and change the Contact Me option to My Friends. Change View My Story to My Friends or Custom, change See My Location to Only Me (Ghost Mode), then disable Quick Add (so you don't show up in random peoples menus as a person they should follow). Next, go back to your main page and click the ghost again, then click Added Me. Simply click on any users name you don't recognize and tap either Ignore, so their attempt to add you is deleted. Or tap Block if you want to block 'em from attempting to add you ever again. Next, if someone screenshots your Snapchat, you will see a notification pop up. Be aware that Snapchats disappear in app but can last forever if someone screenshots it. Whats worse - someone could easily take a photo of a snap with another device so that notification doesn't get sent. Keep this in mind when sending snaps. Snapchat allows you to save Snaps to a Memories collection. You can move these Memories into a "My Eyes Only" collection. Swipe up from the main page, then click the checkmark in the top right corner. Click the photos you want to privatize, then click the Lock icon. If it's your first time adding photos to My Eyes Only, set up a passcode, then follow the on screen prompts. Now those photos will be in your private album and your Memories album will be free to share with friends. Go back to settings by clicking the Ghost then the Gear, and scroll all the way down to clear your Cache, Conversations, and Sticker searches. Under My Account, change your password if need be, and turn on Login Verifications. This is basically 2FA. You can also change Memories settings so new photos only save to your camera roll. Now, click on Manage Preferences under Additional Services. Under Ad Preferences, uncheck the box. Then Under Maps, uncheck the box.
Next up is Youtube and Google! Head on over to youtube.com and sign in. Click on your little profile picture at the top and click on the gear icon. Click on Connected Accounts and remove any that don't look familiar to you. Next, click on Privacy and check all the boxes to make your liked, saved, or subscriptions private. At the bottom is a link that says "Google Ads Settings". Click on this to change what ads you're shown whenever you watch Youtube videos or turn off Ads Personalization all together. You can also update your activity feed settings here as well.
Lastly for today is Google. This is a big one. Google has a lot of separate security and privacy pages and settings to go through, so let's get to it. First off, go to https://aboutme.google.com/ and hit the little pencil icon next to anything you need to update or delete. Then, click the little green Globe icon or the gray lock icon to change any settings over to private.
Now head over to https://myaccount.google.com/privacycheckup . This is a walk through of your google account privacy settings. Click start now, then from the top of the page, work your way down through all of the settings to update and secure them. Most of these are self explainatory. Youtube settings should all be set already. Click next to then change your Google Photos settings, and make sure to Turn ON the remove geolocations setting. Click next. The "Help People Connect With You" option allows people to find your public information via your phone number. Click next and then update your google + profile settings. Click next to go to the fifth section - "Personalize my google experience". Turn off Web and App Activity, then go to the My Activity Link. Look creepy? It is. This is a history of your chrome, google, and android usage that shows what apps you've used, what you've searched for, and more. Click on "Delete Activity By" then choose how much data you want to delete from your Google Account. Don't worry - the most deleting your old activity will do is make it so anytime you search for something again, Google won't know what to autofill to make your browsing easier.
Alright, go back to that Privacy Checkup screen. Click Location History, turn off, then click Manage History. From the map, you can see a detailed view of every place you've visited. This is private data for your account, but could be dangerous if someone got access to it. Click the Gear then click "Delete All Location History". If you like having this history turned on, you can keep it on then delete specific places by clicking into the place on either the list or the map, then clicking the three dots next to the name of the location, then choose Remove Stop From Day. Unfortunately you have to do this for each place individually. Go back to Privacy Checkup and click Device Information. It can be nice to keep this on from a convenience perspective, but if you want to delete data saved about your device's alarms, contacts, calendar, etc. this is the place to do so. Next is Voice and Audio Recordings. These are quite literally old audio recordings of you talking to your Android device. Just delete them. Next from the Privacy checkup screen is turning off Youtube search and watch history. Once done customizing these settings, move on to the next portion on the Privacy Checkup list. Click on Manage your Ads Settings to see and remove any types of ads that you don't want to see.
Next is moving on to the Security Checkup. From https://myaccount.google.com/ click on Security Checkup. From here you can remove any third party apps or devices that you don't need or don't recognize. If any unusual activity has occurred, it'll also show up here. Lastly, you can turn on two factor authentication from this menu. Now you've got all of that customized, you can read more details about Google's Privacy settings at https://privacy.google.com/#.
Also, go to https://payments.google.com and delete any credit cards you don't want associated with the account. You may want to also go to photos.google.com and drive.google.com to delete any old data that you no longer need.
Day 19 is now complete! Tomorrow is all about cleaning up your social network privacy options part 2. But first, make sure to subscribe on youtube and hit up snubsie.com for the downloadable checklist and to skip ahead on the 30 day security challenge. Again, I'm Shannon Morse and I'll see you tomorrow for day 20!

The political tumult of Bahrain aside, competition got back to 'normal' this week with a front-three on the grid of Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), season points-leader Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), and Mark Webber (Red Bull). Look just a tiny bit further beneath the surface, however, and some of the variety that has made 2012 such an exciting season is easy to see, with both Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) and Sergio Perez (Sauber) within striking distance of the top spot and Daniel Ricciardo (Toro Rosso) qualifying P6.
Amid great talk of tire degradation, Kamui Kobayashi (P12) was the only driver to start the race on the harder compound. Sebastian Vettel held a 2.2 sec lead over Lewis Hamilton at the end of the first lap, with Webber holding down third. Romain Grosjean (Lotus) got third from Webber during Lap 4 and had closed in on Hamilton by Lap 5. In the meantime, Vettel pushed his lead to more than 4.5 sec.
Grosjean took P2 from Hamilton on Lap 8. And when Lewis went in to change tires two laps later, the pit crew let him down with a glacial tire change which saw him plummet down the standings. Kimi Raikkonen moved into P3 having passed Webber on Lap 13 and advanced further during pit cycles. Raikkonen passed teammate Grosjean for P2 on Lap 26.
Lap 30 saw Vettel's lead over Raikkonen cut to 1.7 sec and gradually lower until the pits on Lap 42, which saw the lead blow back out to 3.2 sec. All three of the top runners reentered the fray on the harder medium compound tires. Raikkonnen cut 0.6 sec the next lap, told by team that Vettel's tires were degrading more rapidly.
McLaren's misfortunes continued, Jenson Button suffering a puncture on Lap 54 while chasing Di Resta in P6 to fall down the standings to P13. Button retired during Lap 56 with engine problems.
Vettel held on to a +3 sec lead across the finish line, becoming the fourth winner from the fourth constructor to win a race this year. He also became the fourth championship points leader of the season. Raikkonen and Grosjean came in P2 and P3, becoming the seventh and eighth drivers on the podium this year as compared to 7 for all of 2011 and the first time two Lotus appeared on the podium since the 1979 Spanish Grand Prix (Mario Andretti and Carlos Reutemann). It was Grosjean's first career podium.
Nico Rosberg's driving was under review post-race for allegedly pushing both Hamilton and Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) off track. To this writer's mind, however, he maintained a pre-existing line through the corners and the people trying to pass him on the inside simply ran out of race track. He started P5 and held that post at the end as well, with Webber coming in fourth.
Kimi surged from P11 on the grid to take the second step on the podium, but Michael Schumacher – who qualified P17 but dropped back to P22 for a transmission change – charged even further, grabbing the last point of the race at P10.
Qualifying be damned, the season of change remains intact!

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. Psalm 90:12
Some times I am reminded of my mortality and I get a sobering kick in the shins call to action to use my days for good and not waste them on what doesn't matter. When ever I get my guitar out to play I need to check to see if it is still in tune. In a similar way I need to keep checking my heart to see if it is still in tune with the life I am living. Some times I ask myself, "Does this still make sense for me, is this still worth doing?"
One day in the winter of 1970 my mother went to bed, fell asleep but didn't wake up. I was ten years old. This was an early lesson in life's brevity. That is a life scar I treasure for the way it wound my clock that day some 40 years ago. The loud ticking off of the seconds ever since has made me want to make the most of each day as a gift not to be taken for granted.
Brenda and I have a joke between us that goes something like this. "Hey, how are ya doing?, ...... Oh busy, real busy!"
It is a joke to us because of how in our culture that is what we so often say to each other like being suspended in constant activity is a good thing. Around here we actually have to carve out times and days to not do stuff. We make times to let the dust settle and regroup. Today I challenge you to let your self feel empty and even lost for awhile. It doesn't feel like a good thing but it is a good thing for your interior where all good and bad will in the future spring.
