Never let it be said that we AV kit testers don't lead a varied life. For no sooner have we concluded our tests on JVC's awesome five grand X55 projector, with its 200-inch image potential, than we find ourselves looking at a 19-inch TV costing the princely sum of £89.
The TV in question is the KULED19XXXYA from Australian budget brand Kogan. And it really does look tiny in the context of the ever-bigger TVs finding their way through our doors these days.
Well, at least the screen portion looks tiny. The bezel around the screen is actually quite chunky by modern standards, adding a good inch to the screen's top, left and right edges, as well as two-three inches along the bottom edge. This makes it look like a budget set – an impression that the plasticky finish does nothing to change. The only saving grace is the extreme glossiness that's been applied to the surface of the black frame.
The screen can be mounted on its supplied pedestal foot stand, or your wall using a 100x100 VESA mount.
Connectivity is surprisingly good. Two HDMIs provide digital playback options for your HD sources, while elsewhere there's a D-Sub PC port, a Scart input, a composite video input, a component video input, a USB port, and an RF feed.
Looking at some of these connections in more detail, not surprisingly for such a cheap TV the RF only feeds into a standard definition Freeview tuner - but this is perfectly acceptable on such a small TV.
The USB port, very surprisingly for such a cheap TV, proves able to play back video, photo and music files, AND be used to record from the Freeview tuner to a USB HDD (up to 1TB in size). Impressive.
Shifting our focus to the KULED19XXXYA's internal specifications, the TV is HD Ready, offering a native resolution of 1366x768. Plus, despite its lowly price and large image frame, it uses edge LED lighting rather than the standard CCFL system we might have expected.
This raises hopes of strong levels of brightness by small-screen LCD TV standards. Though it also raises concerns about potential backlight inconsistencies – even though such inconsistencies are traditionally more common on larger screens.

Sorry to hear your having these issues, Starting with your codes, The DME is reporting that its running too lean at idle, this would most likely be caused by a vacuum leak, a split CCV for example, these are easy to change, take ten minutes! how the garage can justify £423 is anyones guess! I would also check the MAF, this could be giving the DME duff airflow reading meaning its not putting enough fuel in.
High crankcase pressure (little vacuum inside the engine crank case) caused by a vacuum leak causes large amounts of oil to condensate in the breather hoses and inlet manifold, this is a major contributor to oil consumption. Common causes are leaking valve cover gaskets, leaking timing cover gaskets, dipstick o-rings, split breather hoses from inlet manifold to CCV's and worst case severely worn piston rings. The latter I wouldn't expect after just 60k miles and I have yet to hear of any piston ring trouble on an N62.
Another problem that is becoming more and more common as these cars age is the valve stem seals, many people blame the long oil service intervals indicated by the CBS system, personally I agree, the oil as it ages and becomes contaminated attacks the rubber components in the engine, this mixed with the temperature cycling causes the rubber to go hard and eventually the seal loses the ability to stop oil leaking past into the combustion chamber or exhaust ports.
My car was serviced regularly at dealerships but there appears to be a window of almost 30K miles where there is no record of an oil change! needless to say im now at 105K miles and the car is smoking after idle and you can smell burning oil from the exhaust once up to temp. I am pulling my heads in the new year to address this and a number of other issues. Luckily i am able to do this work myself so its only parts and the inconvenience of the car being off the road that the trouble!
I will say that you either have to be a keen and competent DIY'er to own these cars or have some seriously deep pockets! These cars need constant attention, there is always something ready to go wrong! with the missus and two children im kept pretty busy! I love the car though, and the V8 is great, its so smooth and comfortable to drive, Im nagged weekly to get rid of it though! but its what I want, and if I had the choice id get the newer F01/02, although my budget does not stretch that far!
Anyway I hope I have helped, there are some things to check, which im sure you can do yourself. To be honest mine burns 1L of oil every 3000 miles or so, although it really does depend on how much time you sit in traffic!
Hey Stuart,
The CCVs have been replaced the other week and I took it on one of the longer drives for any difference in performance or fuel consumption with both remaining the same. The interesting thing is that it seems perfectly normal at all times; no drop in power and nothing ridiculous fuel wise just a bit worse then I would have expected extra urban which makes me wonder if it could be fuel related; though I would have thought it be running too rich as opposed to too lean.
If you could keep me updated on what happens behind your heads as that is similar to what mine is doing; it doesn't smell too bad but the next options do point toward valve stem seal work but I wonder if because the oil may have been building up for a while before I took to trying to sort it whether or not it will be burning more due a carbon build up in the engine. There is no visible sign of a leak so it makes sense to assume that this oil is indeed being burnt somewhere along the combustion line but thanks for your input i'll look into other air flow issues first; i'd just really like to get the light off mostly!

Rider 5, Rutgers Camden 2
Men's College Tennis
Rider University 5, Rutgers Camden 2
LAWRENCEVILLE—The Rider University men's tennis team won its first match of the season, scoring a 5-2 non-conference victory over Rutgers Camden on Wednesday afternoon.
"It is always good to get the first win and break the ice," said head coach Ed Torres. "Our team was a little more experienced. The guys played steady and cut down on their errors, the best job they've done so far this year."
For Rider (1-1), senior Rollie Malfitano (Wenonah/Gloucester Catholic) won 6-1, 6-1 at first singles and senior Nick Lubold (Carlisle, Pa./Cumberland Valley) scored a 6-1, 6-3 victory at third singles. Malfitano and Lubold teamed up for an 8-5 win at first doubles.
"I thought the team did really well today," said Lubold, one of two senior captains on the squad. "We are a young squad but they (the freshmen) are getting the hang of playing Division I. In my doubles match, we came out a little tense and then loosened up and ended up winning. The singles match went well. I'm not used to playing singles that often but I was able to battle against a tough competitor."
"Nick is a very intelligent guy and is a people person," Torres said. "He talks well but is also a solid tennis player. He has improved his game this past year and not many players at this point in their career, improve from season to season. He hits the ball hard but is more under control. And he is also a wonderful leader of the five freshmen we have on the roster. His teammates look up to him and he can back it up with good play."
Also for the Broncs, senior Kyle Stratton (Stratford/Sterling) won 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) at fifth singles and freshman Matthew Begley (Pennington/Hopewell Valley Central) picked up his first collegiate victory with a 6-1, 6-0 verdict at sixth singles.
Freshman Adam Levi (Princeton Junction/Pennington School) and freshman Ed Chogllo (South River) won 9-8 (8-6) at second doubles and Stratton and senior Sean Sweeney (Franklinville/Delsea Regional) were 8-4 winners at third doubles.
"I thought everyone played a strong doubles match," Lubold added. "The doubles point matters because it takes the pressure off having to only win three of the six singles matches (instead of four) so that was the case today and was a big help."
"In these matches, it is important to get that doubles point," Torres said. "Going into singles having to win four singles matches is difficult. It is much easier from a team stand point to only have to win three of the six singles matches."
Both the Rider men's and women's tennis teams travel to Hofstra Saturday for an 11 a.m. match.

The attraction of new places is the possibility of encountering the unexpected. On Nov. 11 a year ago, it was 75 degrees in Missoula. I had just moved here the week before from a particularly damp, mild part of the Pacific Northwest. To celebrate settling in, I planted garlic in neat rows that thrived through the surprisingly mild winter, sprouting by mid-March, yielding magnificent heads that rivaled in number and size the bumper crops friends produced year after year in the fertile, damp, and rarely frozen soils of the coast. I was day-dreaming that day of garlic-and-rosemary mashed potatoes, of the roasted golden skin and tender juicy flesh of a free-range, free-spirited turkey sacrificed on the altar of Thanksgiving, a bird raised on organic grain, an animal worthy of Benjamin Franklin's much-ridiculed nomination for The National Bird. I wanted a turkey that lived a happy and fulfilled life until the moment its blissful little neck hit the chopping block. And then it struck me: Where would I find such a bird in these parts?
Before the unsavory accusations of provincialism and West Coast snobbery begin, let me defray them by saying they're absolutely true. One of the few consolations of watching your hometown drown in acre after acre of new subdivisions is quick access to a lot of good food, though eating in Seattle or Portland has developed its own brand of pretentiousness. While you can wear jeans to just about any restaurant in town, cooking at home is the true test of the tragically hip, which means where you buy your groceries has become of paramount importance to those with a discerning palate, a distinction that until very recently was limited to chefs or food critics. In most cities now, there is no shortage of gourmet grocery store chains catering to the notion that it might be just as prudent to roast a basketball as a Butterball, a concept evolved as much out of an obscenely prosperous economy as any concern for personal or ecological health.
That day in the garden a year ago, I became unexpectedly homesick in a gastronomic sense. A happy, hippie turkey was at least a day's drive away. I initiated an internet search and found that for about the price of a flight to Toronto, some well-meaning person will deliver a carefully bred, fed and processed turkey to your door. To make matters worse, the family celebration last year was in Spearfish, S.D., further into the nation's heartland, where I imagined the request for anything "free range" might be met with uncomprehending stares, or open hostility, which was only another ignorant urban assumption about to be turned on it's head.
It turns out that South Dakota is the birthplace of free-range for domesticated animals. The way I found out is that someone told me about the Good Food Store, where they sell Hutterite turkeys. At first, I wondered obtusely if Hutterite might be some sort of meat substitute, but then learned they were people like the Amish for whom there were great reasons to admire. Like the latter, the Hutterites were persecuted in Europe for maintaining religious practices that were not heartily endorsed by the big department-store religions, the refusal to bear arms being foremost among those. Kicked off their native soil in Russia in 1870, the German-speaking Hutterites were subsequently chased out of every other country in Europe in which they tried to settle, which prompted them to get on a boat and sail west to America. They stopped first in South Dakota in 1874, where they stayed until World War I, fleeing to Canada to avoid U.S. military conscription. The Hutterites returned to the States via Montana in the late 1930s and have quietly prospered since, with some 40 Hutterite communities calling the north central part of the state home. At the very least, a peaceful coexistence with local farmers and ranchers has developed with the Hutterites, who have fostered a reputation of always being willing to help their neighbors.
Through strict adherence to communal living, hard work, and diligent care of their land, the Hutterites have become masterful farmers, spurning conventional agricultural methods in favor of organic and holistic practices. Since they've been at it for more than a century, the recent phenomenonal growth in sales of organic produce, meat and dairy products will no doubt benefit the Hutterites economically. But economic prosperity has never been the primary concern of the Hutterites. The idea that, as Wendell Berry would have it, the life of the soil is analogous to the life of the spirit seems a central tenet of Hutterite life. The food they produce and sell throughout western Montana demonstrates year-round what is referred to blithely as the holiday spirit, according to Good Food Store Education Coordinator Randi Erickson.
"The first thing that surprises you about them is that they're really funny," says Erickson, who has visited the New Rockport Colony near Choteau, where her store buys the nearly 1,400 turkeys sold to customers throughout western Montana. "They have this dry sense of humor which maybe you don't catch onto the first time, but after two or three jokes, it's clear. They're also very shy, but incredibly generous and hospitable people. They won't let us leave without tons of produce, eggs, and fresh baked bread. And the gifts are freely given by everyone you meet, including children. We even got to sample the homemade rhubarb wine they make."
Erickson's descriptions of the New Rockport Colony are excerpted here from her own written account of the visit: "We took in a sweeping view of the property-6,000 acres in all, much of it enveloped in a sea of grain ready for harvest. The farm's living area in uncomplicated and unadorned, designed with function in mind. The land consists of a few buildings and smaller houses built for the 20 families living [at New Rockport.] The colony's main buildings are accented only with windows, and the grounds are gravelled and tidy, with cement sidewalks from building to building, perhaps to guard the women's long skirts from mud in the rainy season. ... The [food] storage area is huge, dark and rich with the smell of earth and stored vegetables. Illuminated by two or three light bulbs, the cellar holds 500 tons of vegetables, or enough storage for about 250,000 orders of french fries."
Erickson describes colony spokesman John Wipfe as an open person, one who walks the farm with a cell phone on his hip and is willing to answer most questions. "He always gives us an update on the health of the birds willingly," says Erickson, who noted that the colony's birds are fed from grain grown on the property, and that no birds are given growth hormones, although if a chick gets sick, antibiotics are used. The Sunday before Thanksgiving, the entire colony—some 125 men women and children—will participate in the butchering of this year's turkeys. The slaughter takes a long day; then early Monday morning, trucks deliver the birds to The Good Food Store. According to Erickson, the largest turkeys are then donated to local charities—including the Poverello Center, which last year received a monstrous 36-pound turkey to serve at Thanksgiving dinner.
Then at 5:30 on Tuesday morning, the Good Food Store prepares for the deluge of people who show up to purchase their holiday turkey. "We've got some employees who haven't yet experienced turkey day," says Erickson. "Hopefully they'll learn that it's a little hectic and a little fun as well. It's become a kind of Missoula tradition, we give out rolls and coffee and hot cider, people visit in line, and talk about their plans for the holiday season."
I had been warned of the festive crowd outside the store last year. I admit some skepticism of a city which, in sharp contrast to others that light Christmas trees or decorate town squares, marks the beginning of the holiday season by getting up in the dark and waiting in line for a dead bird.
But I waited in line for mine, chatting with a woman who had left in the middle of the night and driven from Salmon, to buy a Hutterite bird. I then drove my turkey 11 hours back to its ancient free-range roots in South Dakota, where it was cooked, eaten and unanimously judged the tastiest turkey in anyone's memory.
This year, it seems the nasty Montana winter everyone warned me about in coming here has started with a snarl. It was nearly 50 degrees cooler this Nov. 11 than last. The garlic that I meant to put in the ground for next year sits in a brown sack on the porch, awaiting the decreasing likelihood of a thaw, a reminder that like nearly everyone else, I'll be relying on others to grow and process my food this year. Given such a dependence, and the increasing cynicism with which enormously complex political and corporate powers meet this need, I'll be happy to be back in line in the predawn hours on Kensington Street. After all, if the adage about soil and spirit is true, these birds contain a little American religious tolerance, with trace elements of communal giving and cooperation. It's just the kind of meal you can sink your teeth into toward the end of a chilly election-year November.

Vintage Victuals: Reviving traditional recipes from Montana's past
The Depression was a hell of a time to be a writer, editor, journalist, or researcher in Montana. With the federal government scrambling to find a way to keep the great mass of unemployed men from turning into a communist peasant army, most were kept busy building lodges, trails and roads through the wilderness. The intelligentsia, however, was occupied researching and writing a series of regional guides that detailed the custom and culture that were changing with each new technological and social advance. Last year An Ornery Bunch, a collection of tales and anecdotes compiled by the Montana Writer's Project was published after researching Montana's extensive WPA holdings—250,000 items in 52 linear feet of storage space—almost equal to the federal archives. And given the interest in nonfiction about Montana we should expect to see more of these in the future. Whistleberries, Stirabout, & Depression Cake was originally intended to be only a section of a larger compendium of America's eating and drinking habits provocatively titled America Eats—it was never completed due to the distractions of our entry into World War II, and then later the welfare for writers program was vilified as a hotbed of communist activity.
Poet W. H. Auden perhaps summed it up best when he wrote that the Writers' Project, which employed Richard Wright, Nelson Algren, Saul Bellow and Zora Neale Hurston, was "one of the noblest and most absurd undertakings ever attempted by any state."
Whistleberries, Stirabout, & Depression Cake is chock full of anecdotal details about what, why and how the Western men and women of yore ate and drank. What emerges is not 101 recipes for beans, but an immense variety of foods stemming from the immigrant nature of the settlement of the West.
Take breakfast in Butte, where you would see the Irish miner set his bowl under the chute and pull the lever on a huge copper pot to obtain his stirabout, "a sweet semiliquid gruel made from oatmeal mush and thinned with milk"; for lunch the "Son of Erin would wash his food down not with coffee, but with black tea fortified with stirabout."
The Cousin Jack Pasty, meanwhile, was introduced by the miners from Cornwall, who called the tasty meat pie of beef, potatoes, onions, and rutabagas, "a letter from 'ome … and on many occasion when a miner tarries too long in one of the bars of Butte or elsewhere it is a welcome letter indeed."
Boxty, another dish popular among the Irish, Welsh and Cornish miners, is a special-occasion, sweet-sour, steamed-milk pudding thought to bring "strength to the males and fecundity to the females." It is the conglomeration of ethnic foods—like potato cakes on Christmas Eve, Scottish haggis, the Serbian or Croatian povitica, Scandinavian lutefisk, Italian ravioli, spaghetti, Mexican frijoles and chiles—that lead the authors of this piece to conjure up a subterranean lunch bucket swapfest that would shame any international food fair gourmand.
The style is wonderfully discursive, like a reporter freed from word limits finally able to use the superfluous anecdote, the curious aside, and the detailed explanation to complete the picture. And so while the book is not altogether free association, it is editorially loose in the style of the day and divided into sections such as "Miner's Concoctions," "Lumber Camp Feed," "Dining in Open Spaces." At the end is an appendix of recipes from the Western states.
In all, the book succeeds in capturing the details of a society where the manufactured, canned and chemically preserved were quickly replacing age-old practices, and communities joined together by orgies of food were being isolated from each other by more novel forms of entertainment. No longer do we see: "The old-time prospector [who] obtained his vitamins through his sense of 'feelin.' 'I feel like I should have me a mess of berries (beans),' or 'it's nearin' time to git me a mess of dand'line grens.'"
Some specifically mentioned among Montana's culinary contributions are solid citizens like the pasty, corned beef and cabbage, lamb ragout and venison mincemeat. However, many of the miners who struck it rich quickly spurned the diet of bacon, sourdough and beans that had fueled their diggings. Instead, dining at a place like the Montana Club in the 1880s, a lucky miner might need an advanced degree in Romance languages to read the menu, even though he'd probably sign his name with an X:
"One Butte miner's wife remarked after her husband had spent an evening at the Silver Bow Club [in Butte] as a guest of a former pal: 'Sure, the old man isn't feelin' well this mornin'. He was up at the Silver Bow Club half the night with the millionaires, fillin' his belly up with biled oysters and drinkin' champagne wine out of the painted ladies' slippers.'"
Whether it is the creativity of the eggless, butterless and milkless Depression Cake, the skinny on a Sean O'Farrell or the story of the Last Chance Gulch miner, who having made his stake, rode up to the most deluxe restaurant in Helena and declared: "Bring me a hundred dollars worth of ham and eggs and a bale of hay for my horse," it is all "laurpin' good truck"—real good victuals.
Creamed Corn
Fill 9-by-13 pan one-third full of canned corn.
Mix: 2 tsp. sugar, 2 tsp. salt, 1 cup melted butter and 1 pint Half & Half.
Pour: mixture over corn and bake at 350 degrees until bubbly all over.
Serves approximately 10.

Thanksgiving Mysteries: The secret stories behind your favorite holiday fare
Lo, the mystery of Thanksgiving. No American institution is so poorly understood—except perhaps the Electoral College. No nationwide expression is taken at such face value—save maybe what the networks predict on election night. Truth be known, Thanksgiving is quite possibly our country's most misunderstood holiday, just stuffed up the rear with oddball facts that most of us never learned. Few people know, for example, that Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a holiday as a guileful kind of publicity stunt in 1863. (The Union had finally begun to win the Civil War, it seems, and Abe was looking for a unifying ritual). Even fewer people know that in 1939, Franklin Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving up a week, because Lincoln's date was too close to Christmas. (The nation was just shaking itself out of the Depression, you may recall, and FDR didn't want some 80-year old publicity stunt to cut the shopping season short.) And let's not even get into the fact that the only day the Pilgrims actually designated as Thanksgiving Day was July 30, 1623. (That celebration was held to give thanks for a summer downpour that had ended months of drought. No turkey, corn or Indians were involved. True story.)
So let's face it. The whole holiday is a mystery to most of us. And nothing about it is more mysterious than the food. Sure, it's tasty, pleasing to the eye, and as familiar and comforting to us as a maternal bosom. But still, we know surprisingly little about much of what ends up on our Thanksgiving table. So let us take just a brief moment to delve into the stories behind some of your favorite holiday fare. Will the truth embitter next week's special meal? We hope not. But look at it this way: When it comes to food, it's always a good idea to take the mystery out of things.
The Mystery of Canned Cranberry Sauce
Along with such oddities as junk bonds and Charlie Rose, canned cranberry sauce is one of those things that everybody knows about but no one really understands. Where on earth did it come from? Who decided we needed it? And since there's really no merit to it on its own, what quality does it have that has made it so famous, so much a part of our lives? In the case of canned cranberry sauce, the real mystique stems from the fact that it is a food that everyone has eaten but absolutely no one can duplicate (marshmallow crème and artificial grape flavor are another two such anomalies).
Mysterious as it may be, however, cranberry sauce is not without its historical value. Its connection to Thanksgiving can be traced to the fact that, for centuries, cranberries have grown copiously on the coast of Massachusetts. And it was there, back in 1620 or so, that our buckle-hatted predecessors learned from one of the resident Indian tribes (the Wampanogs, probably) that the little red berries were vital for surviving the cold months, and that the plants themselves could survive even the harshest New England winters. The colonizers named them "craneberries," because they believed the tiny pink blossoms that emerged in the spring resembled the heads of cranes.
Fast forward 280 years. The berries appear to have lost their novelty. Something new and strange must be done with them. Enter Boston entrepreneur William Underwood, who earned his small-type footnote in culinary history in 1898 by being the first to can cranberries for commercial purposes. No one knows what he did or how he did it. But canned cranberry sauce had suddenly found its place on our nation's table.
The Bridgeton, N.J., cranberry concern known as Minot Food Packers, Inc., indicates that it was not until 1922 that "the modern cranberry canning industry began," whatever that may mean. But, as the oldest existing producer of cranberry products, Minot can nonetheless be looked upon as the authority on canned cranberry sauce. It offers these guidelines for identifying a quality product:
• Cut a very thin slice from the can-shaped loaf of gelatin. It should be bright red and clear, without any trace of browning (browning, Minot warns, is a sign of overcooking, although even the best sauce can start to brown if it's in the can for more than five months).
• The product itself (which Minot refers to as "the gel") should be slightly firm and should be accompanied by no more than two teaspoons of liquid in the can. They do not say why.
• The flavor should be sweet, tart and, basically, cranberry-like. Traces of "carmelizing" on the palate serve as a further sign that the product may have been overcooked during processing.
• No instructions are available on how to remove the ridged imprint that the can leaves on cranberry sauce. Try to decorate around it.
The Trouble With Stuffing
The problematic qualities of stuffing are manifold and obvious. They are so obvious, in fact, that we need only to list them:
1) Any food that is meant to be rammed into another food should be looked upon with suspicion.
2) Its purpose is unclear and historically undocumented. Basically, it's seasoned bread. Now, it is safe to assume that bread will be a part of any Thanksgiving meal, and even if there is no bread, the sweet potatoes are there to meet the obligations of that starchy bottom tier of the government-endorsed food pyramid. So what is the stuffing for? We have been unable to obtain a credible answer.
3) There is no single recipe for it. Our investigations into the quintessential formula for stuffing turned up empty. Instead, we found countless variations that included everything from apples and sausages to oysters and portobello mushrooms. The absence of a reliable stuffing archetype casts the food, we think, in some doubt.
4) It is served sticking out of a turkey's ass.
5) Despite its homespun flavor, stuffing mixes commonly include such ingredients as emulsifiers (including sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate [NaC18H35O2]) and preservatives (like calcium propionate [Ca(C3H502)2•H2O]). Just like Grandma used to make.
6) In all seriousness, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently issued an official warning to Americans not to cook stuffing inside the turkey. Research has found that stuffing prepared in the traditional way often does not reach temperatures high enough to kill bacteria, which may explain why so many family Thanksgiving get-togethers result in food poisoning, crying young brides, and, ultimately, drunken screaming matches. But maybe that's just our families. You can read more about the USDA warning at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OA/pubs/tbstuff.htm.
The Shocking Truth About Pumpkin Pie
As squash goes, the pumpkin is truly a thing of wonder. Not so much because of the qualities of the fruit itself—like its flavor or its shelf-life or its usefulness—because it doesn't really have any of these. Instead, what makes pumpkins so fascinating is the fact that they are the only food in all of American history that we have never treated like food. The fact is, we've used them for everything but eating, and we continue this neglect today.
When white settlers were first introduced to the pumpkin in the 17th century, they were quick to find a variety of novel uses for the giant winter fruit, except eating it. At first, they dashed it to pieces and fed it to their livestock. Then they got in the habit of hollowing out the center and upending it on each other's heads to form a sort of template for family haircuts (This, according to Southern Nevada Vo-Tech Center's chairman Ed Kane, brought about the term "pumpkin head" to describe northern colonists). Then, of course, they projected Old World superstitions on the pumpkin by filling the empty squashes with glowing coals on All Hallows' Eve, in the hopes of warding away unkind spirits. In sum, over the nearly 400 years that Americans have spent using pumpkins, the closest we ever got to actually eating them was using them as stock to stretch out winter stews or, more commonly, making tea from their seeds, which was believed to kill tapeworms and improve urinary health.
Today, we continue to treat the pumpkin as America's leading non-food. Pumpkins are still a rather large crop in American agriculture, with Ohio, Indiana and Illinois taking the title as the nation's biggest pumpkin-producing states (Eureka, Ill., is the official Pumpkin Capital of the World). But still, the vast majority of those fruits are never consumed. According to Nash's Produce, an organic farm in Sequim, Wash., 99 percent of the pumpkins grown in America today are used as jack-o'-lanterns, and then thrown away. The other one percent is turned into pumpkin pie filling—but even then it's not the kind of pumpkin you're thinking of.
Now follow me here. There are actually two species of pumpkin: the commonly recognized orange jack pumpkin, and the yellower, butterier cheese pumpkin. It is the cheese pumpkin—poor cousin to the famed Halloween decoration—that ends up in the spiced admixture we call pumpkin pie filling. But considering that a paltry 1 percent of the nation's cheese pumpkins could not account for all of the thousands of cans of pie filling sold every year, there must be something else in those cans that's posing as pumpkin. What could it be? Brace yourself: According to botanists at Virginia Tech, pumpkin pie filling is often actually made from butternut squash. This was confirmed by Illinois gardener Tom Clothier, who writes that, more often than not, "the canned pumpkin in the supermarket contain[s] no pumpkin." To this he adds the additional, and emotionally devastating, charge that, in his opinion, "Butternut Squash is better at being a pumpkin in all things."
Indeed, it is a sad state of affairs when a food is outdone by another food at its own worthiness. But that, unfortunately, is the shocking truth.
Cranberry Bread Pudding
6 cups toasted diced sourdough or whole-wheat bread, packed
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
2 cups raspberry-cranberry juice
1 cup honey
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 cup dried currants
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread cubes in a greased 8-cup baking dish. Set aside. Combine all of the remaining ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil gently just until the cranberries begin to pop. Pour the cranberry mixture over the bread cubes, mixing gently, and let sit for 15 minutes. Bake the pudding in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until bubbly.

So I work with the same person pretty much every shift for 24 hours, it's like having a second family. Anyway I work with a male, so it's like having a work husband without the benefits, lol.

Hello Dear WHL Family;
Do you realize that it was February 17, 2009 when I posted a blog about our then new WHL site provided by Conrad. I talked about our exhilaration as we explored the new site and how we were able to forget our illness for those moments that we spent playing in the arcade, uploading pictures, exploring new capabilities of the site, etc.
I also mentioned that "static" was something that Conrad would NEVER allow! Was I right??? Here we are, less

Recently a trial concluded in London with the convictions of four would-be suicide bombers whose failed attack on the London transport system took place almost exactly two years ago. It emerged in the course of the proceedings that the bombers' ambition was to exceed the devastation caused by the July 7 terrorist strike which had taken place two weeks previously and which left 52 dead and more than 700 injured. That this was no empty hope was confirmed by experts who testified that the backpack devices contained a powerful mix of explosive substances previously unseen in
The desire to murder as many people as one can is in itself testimony to a truly depraved mind. But the full extent of these people's evil can only be fully appreciated when we learn of what has been done for them by the country on which they plotted to inflict so terrible a harm.

P88 failure to pass drop test
Not as bad as it sounds. In the 1984 XM9 trials at Aberdeen, the entrant pistols were dropped from a height of 1.2 meters on a hard surface
(drop attitude and surface were unspecified, and I don't know what they were); the test was passed if there was no accidental firing, or degradation of function or safety. Damage to or movement of sights was permissible.
The Walther failed because the rear sight popped out. This was hardly a surprise, given Walther's past history with the P.38 and misguided propensity for putting elegant (and delicate) target components on guns expected to see hard service. The loss of the sight itself was not the problem; with the sight gone, the firing pin retainer and associated parts also took flight, rendering the gun unserviceable.
This could easily have been solved, but a more serious problem was uncovered by the Army. After 7,000 rounds, the pistols (probably two) selected for the endurance test were found to have cracked their frames across the top of both rails, perpendicular to the bore line and in front of the locking insert. Though the Army report concluded that the frame "lacked sufficient strength to withstand firing 7,000 rounds", in fairness to Walther it takes more than a failure of this kind to establish a serious design defect. It should be remembered that this trial was the first to specify NATO-spec ammunition, which is the commercial equivalent of +P or better, and most of the pistols entered by the various manufacturers were originally developed for lighter loads. In factory tests the P88 had far exceeded 7,000 rounds without failure, but the earlier JASSAP trials at Eglin were bitterly criticized for using commercial ammo procured from IVI in Canada, and the Army was determined not to make THAT mistake again.
In any event, the frame cracking was a harbinger of woes to come. The original cracking with NATO ammo could probably have been cured simply by a minor beefing up or a change of material, but after the Army's rejection of Walther's XM9 (these all had 88-prefix s/ns), Walther just could not leave the gun alone for commercial introduction. In rapid succession Ulm made unannounced design and cosmetic changes, some of them inexplicable, most for the worse. First a curved backstrap, then a scalloped slide, and on and on. One could never be sure what the next P88 arriving from the factory would look like--which was death on advertising-- and at around $1,200 per copy, sales were understandably slow.
It was a shame; the gun deserved better. Had it been left in its original XM9 configuration, which had a grip shape reminiscent of the Browning High Power, and an all-business gray parkerized finish, it would have held great promise for that market segment that appreciates classy, functional, expensive things. It was by far the most comfortable and pleasant gun to shoot in its class, which contributed greatly to its fine accuracy. Some engineering attention was needed for a few details, principally the durability of its delicate lockwork, but I really liked the XM9 version. However, nobody at Ulm ever looked back...
It got worse, but it's late, and the rest of that sad story I'll leave for another time.

Mike: I had heard pieces of that story, but never in the detail that you provided here; thanks for that. I'm sure that many others on the forum would love to hear the rest of the tale as well.
What is most interesting to me in the whole sordid affair of the Army's testing of the P88 is that what was left behind as a result -- despite all the tinkering -- is still a magnificent firearm ... a true engineering marvel. I wouldn't trade my P88c for much of anything on the market, regardless of price or perceived value.
And to think that at one time, it was even better. It boggles the brain and saddens the heart.

I want to add here that not only Walther failed....
at least they had a pistol that held the requiered minimum of 10 rounds.....
HK submitted the P7... but in order to do so they had to weld mags together and add a extension to the frame. Do not get me wrong I love my HK's (3 p7's) but it just goes to show how a company can go wrong when in a hurry to get a pistol ready for trials like these
look at the grips... they are even XM9 marked

That is very true. There is an old Greek proverb that "He who runs, stumbles."
There were eight entrants, only three of whom had enough developmental time behind them to be serious contenders--Beretta, SIG/Sauer and the S&W 469. The others, the Steyr GB, FN High Power DA, Colt, H&K, and Walther, never had a realistic chance. Bill Ruger recognized early on (probably from his WWII experience) that his gun--what became the P85, designed principally by Roy Melcher-- was not yet ready, and decided not to waste the money or suffer the adverse publicity that would ensue from a poor showing, and did not enter. Ruger concentrated instead on preparing his gun for commercial introduction without distraction, which proved a very wise decision. Gaston Glock was still struggling to get started in Austria, and his innovative design probably could not have satisfied the specs anyway. Star, which had been stung by its treatment in the earlier Eglin trials, kept its distance but unofficially, to an extent still unclear, had some arrangement with Colt; indeed, the Colt entry bore a remarkable resemblance to the Star M28, which in turn borrowed heavily from the Czech CZ75.
In the end, only Beretta, which had a proven gun and its own on-shore U.S. manufacturing facility up and running, was able to fully satisfy the Army. SIG came close, and indeed thought they had it in the bag through a strategic alliance with Maremont, who already supplied M2 and M60 machine guns to DoD. But last minute lobbying by the Italian government, which called in many diplomatic chits to apply pressure, coupled with an episode at the Pentagon of insufferable arrogance on the part of the Swiss who owned J.P. Sauer, produced a victory for Beretta.

The final insult for Walther was the adoption of the Beretta 92...a pistol that used the falling block action that the P-38 pioneered!!!!
The reasons and theories for Beretta being adopted are numerous...including a deal made by Uncle Sammie to base missiles in Italy. Plus Beretta undercut the replacement parts costs of the SIG by a few pennies. What is even more amusing is the later M11 adoption. Seems SIG got the last laugh and the Army adopted the SIG 228 (As the M11) as a substitute standard pistol for it's forces. Seems there was a lot of complaining about the big grips of the M9, and the Beretta was having all kinds of reliability problems with magazines and slide detachment from the frame (hence the saying "you ain't a Navy SEAL till you've tasted Italian steel").
As to the rest...Glock was dead in the water before they even entered. They didn't pass the requirement for a seperate manual safety. Steyr GB is a weird gun to start with. It was actual based on a gun made in Morton Grove, IL by Les Rogak called the Rogak P-18 (which was based on a WW2 design). Steyr eventually took over design and production of the gun (after the P-18 flopped badly), but even Austria, where the gun was made, decided on the Glock instead. Ruger has tried to get his guns accepted for military use previously and has failed each time. The Mini-14 is a prime example. He tried to market it worldwide (France tested it) but has not had much success with it. Accuracy and reliability problems plague it. Some police departments have adopted it, but with the advent of dirt cheap M16 rifles released by Uncle Sammie, Ruger Mini 14 is pretty much a "sporting rifle" now. Ruger may have had more than fear of embarassment that kept him from entering the military trials. Shortly aftet it's introduction, the P-85 had a massive recall of EVERY unit because a broken firing pin caused an AD during decocking. I suspect that would have been the end of the P-85 as far as Uncle Sammie is concerned and would have killed civilian sales too. While the Colt does appear to strongly resemble the Model 28/30 Star, one wonders why Colt would hook up with a gun that has had nothing but problems since it's introduction.
Then again, Colt made some really dumb marketing moves back in those days Anyone remember the Colt double action semi-autos (Colt Double Eagle?) A real turd in stainless steel. They even had a Rube Goldberg plastic frame gun (the Colt ALL American 2000) that ranks with the Edsel for dismal failures. Surprisingly, it was designed by Eugene Stoner and Reed Knight.

Long story short: Steyr cancelled and got it back, but no matter, it was too awkward and experimental to be a realistic contender.
For those interesting in seeing what the XM9 Walther P88 looked like, it was featured and on the cover of an Interarms catalog, I believe '88.

For the same kind of reasons that barred the Glock, the Star did not meet the Army's specifications.

While the secondary is still making a few busts, as a whole, they seem to be improving.
"We were doing pretty bad early in the season, now we are working harder and doing the right assignments and not coming up when the quarterback scrambles. That is the main problem in the secondary right now. We are working hard on that so that we can get better."
Some fans have said that Coach Cooper's schemes are bad and that is the reason why you guys played so poorly early in the season.
"It's not Coach Cooper. He has great schemes. It's just us young players busting our assignments."
When you say busting assignments, what exactly are you referring to?
"We are out of position. Like when the quarterback scrambles, we might run up to the second level instead of third level when we have a deep third. Or we might not get over to our half fast enough and they throw it over our head. All of our busts have been on deep balls."
What happens? Do you just leave an open spot?
"Yeah, sometimes we leave an open spot when we see something else and try to make something happen."
How are you trying to correct it so that you don't continue to make those mistakes?
"We are trying to get to our zone a little faster and sit there and let (the play) come to us."
You are probably one of the biggest cornerbacks in college football. When you were in high school, people said you would be a strong safety in college, but you wanted to be a college cornerback. Now that you have your wish, how do you think you have done at the cornerback position?
"I was pretty mediocre at first because I hadn't done much back peddling, but I am getting better and better due to working against JJ (Justin Jenkins) and Ray Ray Bivines. They have helped me get my feet quicker and faster."
I know you are big and can hit, but do you feel you have the true raw speed to stay up with the best wide receivers the SEC has to offer?
"I can't say I have true speed, but I do know how to play football and I do know how not to let a person get behind me too far."

First-time mother, Lystra Mills, 34, is in limbo because doctors at Mt Hope Womens Hospital can neither tell her how long it will take for a burn on her newborn daughters inner left ankle to heal, nor when baby Kaitlin Soriah Mills, would likely be discharged from the neo-natal Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Initially (April 14), they told me they wanted to keep my baby for a week, maybe two weeks. Now theyre telling me they dont know. Today (yesterday) the doctor giving me an update, he said, Well baby is doing excellent. We just want to keep her until the burn heals some more. So I asked him, How long? and he would look to tell me, Ask baby.

Katherine Heigl has waited 10 months to defend herself from rumours that she's difficult to work with. And what has she come up with? "I can only say that I certainly don't see myself as being difficult, I would never intend to be difficult.... If I have ever disappointed somebody, it was never intentional." At NBC's Television Critics Association summer press conference on Sunday, 35-year-old Heigl, who will star in this fall's State of Affairs, responded to a reporter's question about the claims with that rebuff, US Weekly reports.
Let's revisit the claims: In September 2013, Hollywood Reporter quoted unnamed executives and producers as saying that the former Grey's Anatomy cutie-pie-turned-film-actress's bad behaviour had cost films time and money. It also cited sources saying her demands and insults were disruptive, and pointed to her practise of criticizing her own projects publicly. The report did refer to two sources who spoke positively about her, but the overall message was quite negative. "She's not worth it," the site quoted a producer as saying.
If collective memory is any guide, Heigl's "defence" is not going to persuade directors or win fans. She's not the first difficult actor and she won't be the last, but how she handles the controversy can make all the difference.
Heigl, here are some options for you:
Embrace it Russell Crowe is known to get into a fight or two but you mostly don't see him pretending to be innocent.
Apologize profusely Christian Bale got a really bad rep after a tirade on the set of Terminator Salvation. But afterward, he put out a solid public apology and all was forgiven, it seems. Words like "inexcusable," "punk" and "regret," are useful in such situations.
Pretend you were just pretending to be difficult You wouldn't be the first. See: Spencer Pratt – the man that loves to be loathed.
Tell us why the haters have it all wrong Kanye West explains that people just don't get him 'cause he's too smart to handle. "I'm in the process of breaking down walls that people will understand 10 years from now, 20 years from now," he told Seth Meyers.
Be too good to turn away Julia Roberts was apparently nicknamed "Tinkerhell" on the set of Hook due to diva-like behavior. But you don't see directors passing her up because she's an incredible actress and brings in the big bucks.
Morgan feels 'strong'
Tracy Morgan spoke out Monday for the first time since a serious accident injured him and killed his friend James (Uncle Jimmy Mack) McNair five weeks ago. He was seen leaving his home this morning, where he smiled for the cameras and told reporters, , "I'm fine. I feel strong." He was applauded after adding, "Love you, thank you very much. Appreciate it." Morgan is suing Wal-Mart, blaming the company for allowing a truck driver who hadn't slept in 24 hours to drive the vehicle that collided with his own.

Remembering Cory
Lea Michele tweeted a photo of Cory Monteith yesterday, on the one-year anniversary of his death. The tweet read, "We hold you in our hearts today, and every day we remember your smile. We will love you and miss you always." Michele and Monteith were co-stars on the hit musical TV show Glee, as well as romantic partners at the time of his death. Monteith was 31 when he died of a heroin and alcohol overdose.

Kanye West, always a step ahead
The Taylor-Swift-interrupter, leather-sweatpants-inventor, self-proclaimed genius was in a reality show before even meeting wifey Kim Kardashian. The premise of the show appears to be "people perform administrative tasks while talking." The talking centres around planning trips for stars using a travel agent. A clip from a failed pilot from 2010 shows Kanye West talking about how he hates airports because people ask him if he's Kanye West and then don't have very good follow-up questions. Pro tip: If you approach Kanye at an airport and you've interrupted his important phone call and subsequently feel guilty and rushed – don't worry about it, he's probably not even really on his phone.

Itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie
Bethenny Frankel thought it would either be hot, or impressive, or something, to post a picture of herself wearing her kid's Hello Kitty pajamas to Instagram. Oh, and the 43-year-old and former Real Housewives star's kid is just four-years-old. The caption read: "This is my daughter's nightgown and PJ shorts. Think we're ready to start sharing clothes yet?" The only time a mom and her preschool-aged child should be sharing clothes is if you're talking about sharing clothes to dress Barbie up in. Though that's weird in its own way.

Celebs love to juice!
Alicia Silverstone, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Lea Michele are all gleeful over their healthy concoctions.
PLAY IT NOW: Golden Globes 2013 NBC Universal After Party: Bill Murray Reacts To Jodie Foster's Speech
Golden Globe host Tina Fey also did some healthy sipping the week before Sunday's award show. She was spotted at Equinox Fitness in Manhattan enjoying the hottest new juice line on the market - Creative Juice Flows.
The fitness giant teamed up with wellness doctor Dr. Jeffrey Morrison, along with culinary rock star chef Michael Romano to launch a line of organic cold-pressed juices.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Golden Globes 2013: The After Parties
"Creative juice is a new concept in juicing. It blends flavor and function. Chef Romano created the flavor profile, while I helped determine the functional purpose for digestion, immunity or detoxification," Dr. Morrison revealed to Healthy Hollywood.
Chef Romano said he developed the juices the same way he would develop a dish. These juices feature a lot of ingredients not often seen in other juices, such as sea beans and kaffir lime leaf.
Healthy Hollywood got invited to Creative Juice Flow's launch event this morning and I got to sample all seven of their autumn/winter juice line. Some shot samples were their carrot, papaya and orange blend called "Clockwork Orange" for digestion, there was a dark green combo called "Green Means Go" for energy, and a red beet combo "Zest for Life" for immunity. Each season will bring on a new menu of different juices.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Golden Globes 2013: Best Dressed
Healthy Hollywood must admit I enjoyed every sip. The juices are light, flavorful, some have a spicy zing (which I love) and none of them taste like you need to plug your nose to get it down! Just can't give wheat grass the love it deserves!
Dr. Morrison also revealed to Healthy Hollywood there will be a Creative Juice Flow cleanse, which is a 3-day juice program. On the menu are five different juices, plus a protein meal. "We call it the 5 plus 1, which is basically 5 different juices combined for a specific purpose, which can be either detox, immunity, or digestion and the plus one protein meal," Dr. Morrison explained.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Golden Globes 2013: The Winners
Dr. Morrison believes it's important to have a protein portion on cleanse, otherwise existing only on juice can spike blood sugar level and leave many people feeling low energy and foggy.
"The reality is just eliminating all those processed foods makes people feel better anyway. Juices are packed with antioxidants and vitamins and minerals," he added.
Finally, juicing is an awesome flu-fighting remedy. Our country is experiencing a major outbreak and folks can boost their immunity with healthy foods and juice.
"People can enhance their immunity by avoiding processed foods and eating less sugar and drinking less dairy, which increases mucus. Instead focus on immune boosting foods or these juices," adds Dr. Morrison.
The right herbs are also key to fighting the flu. Tarragon, Rosemary, cloves, mint and garlic are all good cold busters to sprinkle into your food or look for as an ingredient in your juice.

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
All winning streaks have to end at some point or another. For the Celtics, theirs ended after 11 games, their longest streak of the season. It's just too bad it had to come from the Philadelphia 76ers at home in a 98-97 loss on Friday night. With the loss the Celtics fell to 20-5 on the season; the 76ers improved to 7-19 on the year.
With Allen Iverson on the bench with knee tendinitis, Philadelphia was able to come back from a 76-72 deficit heading into the fourth quarter. They were able to rally and Elton Brand tipped in the go-ahead basket with 7.7 seconds left in the game. The Celtics got the ball up court quickly but both Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were unable to hit the game-winning shot as the C's lost their fourth Friday night game in seven contests. The loss brings the Celtics to 8-4 at home this season, compared to 12-1 on the road. That is surprising because Boston only lost six games at home all of last season.
As the Celtics continue to struggle at home, Pierce is also wondering what is wrong with his team:
"Tough one to swallow," Pierce said. "When you have a team on the ropes like that, especially at home … we've got to do a better job. I don't know what the problem is about us playing at home this year."
Friday night's loss was the first of three home games for the C's before making the trip down to Orlando to take on the Magic on Christmas day.
Boston was led by Kevin Garnett with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks, but Garnett struggled shooting the ball as he went 5-for-14 from the field. Pierce continued his cold streak as he was only able to go 4-for-12 for the game for a total of 9 points. Allen chipped in 17 points of his own, but also missed 10 of his 17 shot attempts on the night.
Also coming up big was Kendrick Perkins with 12 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks. He had 11 rebounds in the first half alone. Rajon Rondo continued getting his double-doubles as he had 13 points and 10 assists while adding 3 steals.
Boston's bench had to go much of the game without key reserve Rasheed Wallace as he received two technical fouls in the second quarter and had to be restrained upon being ejected. Tony Allen filled in nicely as he shot for 10 points while adding 3 steals.
Philadelphia was led by Brand with a season-high 23 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. It was his key tip-in late in the game that won the game for the 76ers.
Also helping out the team from Philly were Andre Iguodala with 18 points (6-for-15), Marreese Speights with 17 points (6-for-16) and 10 rebounds, and Willie Green with 16 points (6-for-13).
While the Celtics were able to shoot 45% for the game, they limited the 76ers to only 40%. Boston narrowly beat out Philadelphia in every category but still managed to lose. The Celtics had 46 rebounds, the 76ers had 45. The Celtics had 21 assists, Philly had 17. The 76ers had seven steals, the Celtics had 10. Boston had seven blocks, Philly had six. It was just one of those games where everything was going right for the Celtics but then everything went wrong and the 76ers were able to pull away late and come away with the game-winning shot.
It was a tough loss against a division rival for the Celtics, even when the 76ers had their two best ball-handlers out in Iverson and Lou Williams. Williams is still out with a broken jaw.
The Celtics will next play the Minnesota Timberwolves at home on Sunday. The T'Wolves have struggled a lot this season as they are 5-22 on the year. The Celtics should not sleep on the young team though, because they typically do play the Celtics hard ever since the Garnett trade.

RWE Seeks Partner to Cut Risk at Caspian Gas Project, Turan Says
RWE AG (RWE) is seeking a foreign partner before signing a production-sharing deal with Azerbaijan's state energy company on the Caspian's Nakhchivan structure, the Turan news service reported, citing an unidentified official.
Germany's second-biggest utility, which is responsible for the exploration costs, will be ready to sign an agreement with State Oil Co. of Azerbaijan, or Socar, after it finds a partner, Turan cited the official as saying. While Socar and RWE signed a memorandum of understanding on the structure in March 2010, they haven't yet agreed a deal on exploration and production.
Nakhchivan, some 45 kilometers (28 miles) off the Azeri coast, was first explored by Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) in 2001 and 2002 and later abandoned after no fuel was found. The structure may hold 300 billion cubic meters of natural gas and 40 million metric tons of condensate, Socar estimates.

text: We will read three classic works in the history of modern moral philosophy. We will also read several essays that amplify and extend the issues raised in these books. The emphasis in the course will be on close reading and analysis of the text-and on thinking about the central questions in theoretical ethics. (Be forewarned: this is not a course in applied ethics.) These questions include: how, exactly, are we to understand morality? What are moral norms and what, if anything, is their ground or foundation? How are we to understand human nature? What is the relation between human nature, reason, and morality? How are we to determine the moral rightness of an action? By appeal to its consequences (for oneself or for others?)? By appeal to the agent's motive? Something else entirely?

However, Country retained the shield after winning the match last year.Mum's the word for on-fire IdrisHoppa earns NSW Origin recall hopeReynolds double act pleases FittlerCountry should have held on: BarrettWATCH: Full match highlightsWATCH: Amazing Idris pass for tryWATCH: Country press conferenceWATCH: City press conferenceFull match statsRelive our live commentaryLatest State of Origin newsWith the game being touted as a genuine Origin trial by NSW coach Laurie Daley – who watched on in the grandstand – the likes of Beau Scott, Jamal Idris, Hopoate, Josh Jackson, Andrew Fifita, Aaron Woods, Daniel Tupou and James McManus did their chances no harm.Gold Coast Titans duo and great friends David Mead and Kevin Gordon scored three of Country's five tries in what proved to be a happy representative debut for both men, while Tupou scored a great double for City.Watch the NRL LIVE with a 2-week free trial.Get the NRL Digital Pass now!It only took two tackles for City to concede their first error. With Australian coach Tim Sheens also watching in the grandstand, dumped Kangaroos prop Fifita couldn't control the ball when it mattered – although Country was held out despite attacking in good territory.The first try came in the 11th minute for the Country boys through the quick-thinking of captain Scott. Handed the ball by Knights teammate Mullen, Scott was met by several defenders before he managed to get his arm free and throw the offload back inside to his fullback David Mead, with a conversion from Roberts giving Country a 6-0 lead.Six minutes later City hit back with a magnificent try. With Fifita taking what looked to be a standard hit-up, the big man threw an offload to his supporting fullback Matt Moylan, who raced 30 metres downfield and chipped over the top for City five-eighth Josh Reynolds to regather the pill and cross the white stripe.With City mounting constant pressure – forcing a goal-line drop-out soon after – the Country team held strong until the last tackle. In the 23rd minute, lanky winger and Tupou leaped high above his opposite man McManus after his halfback Adam Reynolds put in an inch-perfect cross-field kick to set up a 10-6 advantage.While he is a wizard when attacking the ball off huge bombs, Tupou had no such luck picking up the scraps from a massive Tyrone Roberts torpedo with 10 minutes left in the half.Off the following set the Country boys would level the playing field once again, with interchange hooker Josh McCrone making an instant impact. McCrone threw a swift cut-out ball to Kevin Gordon, who did extremely well to stay in the field of play to level the scores up at 10-all.Country were at it again three minutes later after a Mullen 40/20 saw his team get a repeat set deep in City territory. Fullback Mead crossed for his second try seconds later to set up a 16-10 half-time lead in what was proving to be a good day for Titans try-scorers.City held the majority of the possession to kick-off the second half, although they weren't good enough to come up with the chocolates. After three attacking sets from City at their try-line, the Country defence held strong.Further poor discipline continued to hurt the Country lads but poor attacking plays weren't helping the City slickers either. With City's fifth-tackle options seemingly boiling down to kick to Tupou', and Country struggling to keep a handle on the ball, the game turned into a temporarily misdirected affair.With 18 minutes remaining, the Country broke the second-half deadlock against the run of play. A chip kick from five-eighth Mullen across to his centre Idris saw the boys from the bush extend their lead to 22-10.Country extended their lead again in the 69th minute through the hands of McManus. With Jamal Idris taking a run one off the ruck, the Penrith centre left his opposite man Dylan Walker begging before throwing a basketball-esque pass to the Knights winger, who dived over in the corner.With Tupou crossing again and Fifita scoring a runaway try, the City side snatched a draw in the final four minutes in gobsmacking fashion – leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of the Dubbo faithful.The final try came after the ball travelled from one side of the field to the other multiple times, going through countless City hands, before Hopoate barged his way over close to the goalposts for an easy equaliser for Reynolds, leaving the game at 26-apiece.In great news for every club represented, there were was one injury concern to come out of the afternoon, with Country and Cowboys forward Tariq Sims rolling his ankle in what doctors would describe as a minor injury at worst.Country 26 (Mead 2, Gordon, McManus, Idris tries; Roberts 3 goals) drew with City 26 (Tupou 2, J. Reynolds, Fifita, Hopoate tries; A. Reynolds 3 goals). Crowd: 9627.

When we asked about tech favorites, several IT pros cited tools they've acquired to help address mobile device management, data security and application control.
The number of smartphones in use around the globe is expected to surpass 2 billion by the end of 2015, which is one reason corporate IT teams are scrambling to define their mobile technology strategies and implement BYOD policies.
When we asked IT pros to name their favorite products, a handful of respondents cited tools they've acquired to help address mobile device management, data security and application use.
Brook Ellis, for instance, singled out Mojave Networks cloud-based mobile security offering, which is designed to help companies to secure sensitive data, evaluate application use, and block threats.
"The ability to track, lock, and limit usage of our deployed devices with this product is immeasurable," says Ellis, business analyst at LeeSar, a healthcare supply chain company in Fort Myers, Fla. "It has decreased workers' spending company money on irrelevant apps, it has increased productivity by not allowing for personal use. It has helped me to track and locate or lock and wipe stolen or lost devices."

At Needham Bank, the need for secure mobile collaboration led IT to Accellion's kiteworks file-sharing technology.
"Keeping pace with the consumerization of IT, I was motivated to find a user-friendly solution that would enhance productivity in my workplace by allowing for the remote sharing and collaboration of information. Kiteworks by Accellion does just that," says James Gordon, first vice president of IT at the Massachusetts community bank.
"This mobile-first interface allows my employees and me to put the most important items at the forefront of our workflow while also securing corporate data. One feature that I find most beneficial is the three-tier cloud architecture with separate authentication required at each layer."
Kiteworks has been a productivity boost for end users. "Because the solution is so intuitive, employees find that regardless of their team member's physical presence, remote or in person, collaboration is just easy," Gordon says. "Not only does this allow our company to work together efficiently, but it also easily allows for accurate documentation and safe storage of all our work."
At Active Interest Media, it was relatively easy for IT to manage the company-issued BlackBerry devices that employees used. But as people started bringing their own devices to work, "it created new security and management issues," recalls Nelson Saenz, vice president of IT at the El Segundo, Calif.-based publishing company.
Today Saenz relies on Good Technology's Good for Enterprise mobile collaboration and device-management suite.
"I like Good for Enterprise because it makes it easy to secure our company information and manage the mobile devices in our network by placing the corporate data in a secure container that separates it from the rest of the smartphone," Saenz says. "IT only needs to worry about managing the container on the device, not the rest of the employee's device, applications, or information."
"The design of the product also makes it easy for our employees to use so they don't require training from IT to get up and running."
Ease-of-use was also a draw for Jim Carroll, vice president, managed mobility services, at Tangoe. His favorite product, LogMeIn Rescue, allows support staff to remotely view, diagnose and fix computers and mobile devices.
"In order to benefit from the increased productivity and flexibility the mobile revolution can provide, organizations need the ability to effectively manage employee's devices, without expending valuable time and resources," Carroll says. "LogMeIn helps them do that by maximizing mobility, connectivity and business productivity, providing a hands-free approach to managing mobility so they can focus their resources on their core business."
"It helps me deal with the complexities of mobile strategy, providing remote access capability and a hands-free service to shorten resolution time," Carroll says.

Passion and courage
Women's leadership summit provides insight, inspiration
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent | June 07. 2013 8:59PM
Hundreds of women participated in the New Hampshire Women's Leadership Summit on Friday at Nashua Community College. Here, some of the participants dance and applaud during the opening ceremony of the event. (KIMBERLY HOUGHTON/Union Leader Correspondent)
An estimated 350 women were encouraged to face their fears, not be afraid to fail and learn from their mistakes. They were also warned about other individuals who may attempt to bring them down — and more often than not, it may be a female counterpart, according to Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau, who spoke during the opening ceremony of the event at Nashua Community College.
"Don't be that woman, and don't be afraid of that woman," she said, reminding those in attendance that they can succeed in spite of them.
"You have the courage to say, 'I can do that much more,' " said Lozeau. Whether it is getting the kids to school on time, finishing the laundry, running errands, keeping a marriage strong, volunteering and of course holding full-time jobs, Lozeau said it is important to learn from other remarkable women also trying to manage it all.
Kicking off the festivities with a motivational speech about courage, and even a little dancing to Donna Loren's "We Are Woman," Beerel held up a nearly 800-page book on leadership theories and practices.
"Why do leaders need courage? Courage is the ability to act despite our fears," she said, stressing good leaders must be courageous enough to face the fear of being humiliated, alone or unpopular.
While receiving messages of courage on Friday, female professionals received lectures on various ways to improve their success, including workshops on communicating effectively, fostering leadership, guiding careers, de-escalating tense encounters, creating a dynamic personal brand and more.
"I really like the theme and the message of today's event," said Janelle Travers of Concord, a trust administrator at Cambridge Trust Company in Concord. "This is such a really good topic."
Jennifer Jones, also of Concord, agreed. Jones attended the summit as an employee at Merchants Automotive.
Some of the keynote speakers included Jessica Jackley, a social entrepreneur, Chris Grumm, president of the Women's Funding Network, and Liz Walker, a television journalist and humanitarian.

In 2013, Bonney Lake-bred country band Aces Up toured more, played higher profile gigs and laid the foundation for its next record, the follow-up to 2011's radio-ready "Backyard Superstars." The band will cap off its big year by headlining Jazzbones on Saturday, Dec. 14. So we caught up with singer-guitarist Tyler Adams to find out what makes this local buzz band tick.
Tacoma Weekly: How did you guys get started?
Adams: Well, my brother and I, we got an apartment together after he got out of the military. He was in the Marine Corps from 2000 to 2004, and he went over to Iraq for two tours and came home.
I'd been playing guitar since I was nine, so I had been writing a little bit here and there. He looked at me one day and said, "What are you playing?" It was just a little riff I wrote, and we decided to write a song around it, and it just turned out to be country. That's what we grew up listening to. It was kind of in our roots and in our blood. So we decided to start the country band, and went to the radio station, told 'em we had some stuff goin'. They listened to the song, told us it wasn't that great.
TW: What station are we talking about here?
Adams: The Wolf (KKWF-FM, 100.7) when they first started, back in '05.
TW: Is this a song you still play?
Adams: We don't play 'em any more. One was called "Lost Love" and the other one was called "Four Years Gone." We played those songs for 'em, and they said, "We gotta hear the whole band." And truth be told we didn't have a band, but we told 'em we did. So they gave us a show with Steve Holy as our first show; and we put a band together, played a show and just never stopped."
TW: Obviously, you got better.
Adams: Like to think so. (Laughs)
TW: You started the band with your brother. Is it usually smooth sailing, or does it ever stray into the Oasis, Black Crowes territory?
Adams: We have our spats. We try to do different things and we just butt heads. But at the end of the day we're brothers, we're family and always get over whatever we're mad about and end up working together. He's the best business partner I could think of, and he's the best friend I've got. So it couldn't be any better for me.
TW: There's not the same local country scene that there was even a decade ago when there were a couple more places to play. Where did you guys cut your teeth?
Adams: We opened up for Josh Gracin after we opened for Steve Holy. Then we started playing the Little Creek Casino in Shelton. It was four hour sets, and we were playin' all night long. So we had to learn about 45 songs. It was all the songs that everybody else wanted to hear, not the stuff that we wanted to play that was our own music. … We wanted to play our own music, but you gotta cut your teeth and earn your way.
TW: On your last album, "Backyard Superstars," you've got a really radio ready sound. And you can point to people like Blaine Larsen and Lila McCann that are from this area. But do you feel it's a steeper hill to climb being from the Northwest and trying to make it as a country band?
Adams: Rae Solomon, she moved out to Nashville. Robbie Walden, he also moved out to Nashville, but they're both from here. Chance McKinney still plays around here, and there are several other bands.
But at the same time it's tough when you go to places like Tennessee or Texas. ... When you tell 'em you're from Seattle, some of 'em almost laugh at ya. So it makes it good for us up here in the Northwest. But it makes it really, really tough when we try to head south or southeast.
TW: You guys are really gaining traction. I saw you were nominated for the KOMO best bands poll, you're doing more touring and you're getting more high profile gigs. What are some of the highlights from this year?
Adams: Well, the biggest highlight for me of 2013 was getting to do a run with Florida Georgia Line. That was just an awesome experience. The two guys, Brian (Kelley) and Tyler (Hubbard), that make up the duo, they're awesome guys; and then the whole band, too, they were all really personable people. They taught us a lot in just the few days we were hangin' out with 'em. ** TW:** Are you doing any recording next year?
Adams: We have a producer picked out, and we're writing songs as much as we can, every single day. Mine and (my brother) Jason's phones are filled with voice notes and written notes or typed notes and lyrics and hooks and ideas for songs. So really, all we have to do is find the time to sit down together and write 'em out. We're trying to record early next year and put the CD out by spring or summer.
TW: What to you have planned for this weekend at Jazzbones?
Adams: The night's gonna start with C-Leb & The Kettle Black. After that it's Cody Beebe & The Crooks, and they're good friends of ours. We've played several shows with 'em.
We haven't played at home in a long time. We used to play as much as we can, and it's been a lot less because we've been touring. We're gonna have probably three new songs we're gonna debut here. We played them a little bit on the road, and people seemed to like 'em.
TW: What are some titles people can listen up for?
Adams: There's one called "It Rains in California, Too." There's a song we wrote with a buddy of ours, Adam Craig, called "It's All Good." And then we might even throw one in we wrote with … Austin Jenckes, from "The Voice."
We went down to Nashville two months ago and wrote one with him called 'Rolling in the Evergreen." That's a song for home. There's a hidden meaning behind it. It's Washington, I'll just leave it at that.
