LONDON (ShareCast) - The Chancellor could be forced to announce yet more spending cuts or tax increases for the next parliament when he makes his Autumn Statement, according to a leading economic forecaster.
George Osborne is due to update the country on the government's latest official borrowing and growth forecasts on December 5th.
The Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS (SES: E1:I49.SI - news) ) said the Treasury could have to raise VAT to 25% as tax revenues falter and the economy continues to struggle.
Osborne may also have to abandon one of his fiscal targets - that overall UK debt should be falling in 2015-16, as well as pushing austerity measures into 2018, the IFS report added.
"Since the budget, the outlook for the UK economy has deteriorated and government receipts have disappointed by even more than this year's weak growth would normally suggest," said IFS deputy director Carl Emmerson.
"The planned era of austerity could run for eight years - from 2010-11 to 2017-18."
The IFS said that if the trend for borrowing so far this year continued for the remainder of 2012 borrowing in 2012-13 would total £133bn, which is £13bn higher than forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
In what it called its "pessimistic scenario", the think-tank estimated Osborne could need to find another £11bn in tax rises or welfare cuts for the period following the election.
This would have to come on top of the £8bn of welfare cuts mooted in his March Budget speech.
The IFS recommended the Chancellor drop his target for overall debt to be falling in 2015 as it "does not actually have much to commend it in terms of the economics of managing the public finances".
It also warned Osborne that a recent Treasury windfall from quantitative easing should not be factored into his figures.
Interest paid on gilts bought through QE is to be transferred from the Bank of England to the Treasury under recent changes in a move that could net the government up to £35bn.
However, the IFS said this did not directly materially change the long-term outlook for the public finances.
"In order to avoid any possible perception that the change was made in order to make his fiscal targets easier to meet, the Chancellor should instruct the OBR to exclude the impact of this change from all the figures when assessing compliance with the fiscal targets," the report recommended.

LONDON (ShareCast) - Crude prices gained on Monday on the back of hopes that US leaders would agree on a deal to avert the fiscal cliff.
Crude for February delivery gained $1.02 (+1.12%) to $91.82 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, its highest level since October 18th.
Politicians entered the upper chamber of Congress for eleventh-hour meetings on New Year's Eve, saying that a lot of progress had been made.
Leaders would eventually strike an agreement, though that did not come until the early hours of Tuesday morning; trading on commodities markets was closed for New Year's Day.
Also boosting the outlook for demand on Monday was the HSBC (LSE: HSBA.L - news) purchasing managers' index (PMI) which showed that the Chinese manufacturing sector accelerated unexpectedly in the month of December, rising to a final reading of 51.5, according to the latest survey data out from Markit.
The above means that activity in the sector accelerated at its fastest pace in 19 months during this past month. The consensus expectation was for a reading of 50.9.

Mexican Police Confiscate Drug Lord Nava Valencia's Diamond Studded Guns
ABC.au reports that Jalisco police have confiscated "31 gold and silver-plated handguns of varying calibre studded with diamonds and engraved with the name Lobo Valencia." That would probably indicate that this serious lapse in taste belongs to Mexican drug kingpin (says so on his tax return) Nava Valencia. "Valencia is on a list of 24 drug bosses sought by Mexican law enforcement, which offers a $2.4 million reward in total for their capture. He is the right-hand man of Joaquin Guzman, who tops the wanted list, the statement said." The fashion police are on the case. Obviously. More pics after the jump.1

Barnes, Mark Faiers and
Chris Dawson,
a brilliant idea - they'd
shoot a movie. There was
only one drawback - they
didn't have any money. So
in the true spirit of
outlaw film-making they
went ahead and made one
anyway. A full five years
later their celluloid
baby was in the can. But
how did they
shoot a cool, hard-edged,
surreal movie that has
the same brain-frazzling
intensity as Eraserhead,
on a miserly budget of
just 16K? Michael Barnes
- director of Cardiff-set
gangster flick Fatigue
- gives us the low-down.
This email interview was
completed in February
After many years
of writing scripts
and making short films to
try and get a start in
the industry and
having those works
rejected without even
being read/watched we
decided to take Peter
Jackson's lead (Bad
Taste) and finance
and shoot the film
ourselves. Little did we
know what we were letting
ourselves in for!
You actually
started shooting Fatigue
over five years ago - why
did it take so long to
Barnes: When I
first started looking
around at other ultra
low-budget movies an
obvious one to look at
was El Mariachi by
Robert Rodriguez. In his
book Rebel
Without A Crew he
states that he shot the
entire production in just
over a week so quite
naturally we thought we
could do the same. A week
into shooting when we
hadn't even got an eighth
of the film in
the can we realised
just how ambitious our
script was with a new
location almost every
minute! This slowed the
shoot down considerably.
Also we had to stop each
time our budget ran out
which was often - sixteen
millimetre film costs a
bomb to purchase and
develop, at one point we
had shot for a year
without seeing any of the
rushes! We just
couldn't afford to get it
developed - it seems
madness just
thinking about it now.
What was the
total cost of making this
film? Do you think the
economic constraints
imposed upon you actually
inspired even greater
levels of creativity.
Barnes: The
total cost was approx
£16,000 give or take a
few hundred. £12,000 of
that was on film stock!
Without doubt the
economic restraints
created the look and feel
of the film - we
were restricted in what
we could do with camera
movement, sets and
design; we wrote down
every location that we
thought we might be able
to get for free
and crafted the
script around them.
Because of these
restrictions the story
came together very
The term
'multi-tasking' could
have been invented for
Mark Faiers
direction); and Chris
Dawson (asst.
direction). Did the
distribution of jobs
between the three of you
fall into place quite
naturally or was there
all kinds of squabbling?
Barnes: Oh you
missed a couple! I
edited, tracklayed and
dubbed the film too! And
Mark and Chris did many
more jobs than they
credited themselves for
as the films end credit
roller just looked
ridiculous. I've
never really thought
about it before but yes,
I guess we all slipped
into our specific roles
naturally which looking
at it now was a major
blessing. I'd be lying if
I told you it was all
plain sailing though.
There were a couple of
times during shooting and
post production when
opinions differed but we
got through that
and looking back I
really appreciate that
Mark and Chris trusted me
to deliver with the
directing and editing
because it must have been
frustrating for them at
times. Thankfully we all
loved the end result so
they didn't feel the need
to beat me up and dump me
in the Taff.
You've done
loads of television work
in your career - did that
influence the aesthetic
of the film at all?
Barnes: No,
nothing I've ever done on
TV influenced Fatigue.
Television has become so
restricted regarding
drama production - stale
- so many rules, Fatigue
doesn't have
any rules!
is mainly set in Cardiff
and London - what kind of
potential does the Welsh
capital have as a
cinematic setting?
Barnes: Well
Cardiff is undoubtedly a
beautiful city but as
every metropolis it
has its dark
corners and Fatigue explores
that perverse, dark,
underbelly because it
reflected the main
character's predicament
and state of mind. I
don't think the Welsh
Tourist board would use Fatigue
to attract holidaymakers.
Cardiff also doubled up
for London (low budget
remember) apart from the
underground of course!
Personally I always think
it's great when you see a
film at the cinema that's
set in a
location that you
know. When it's done well
it can only add to the
aura and mystery of a
Tell us some
of the specific locations
Barnes: Most of
the locations we filmed
at have been knocked
down. I wish I was joking
- the hippo club, the set
for the big dance floor
gunfight has gone
and has now become
offices! The house we
shot in was repossessed!
The Cafe Alba
disappeared! The
scrapyard is now a block
of flats! The car park is
now a building site! And
the covered indoor market
has become a shopping
precinct! Talk
of a 'Fatigue
curse' started to be
heard around town but I
have a simpler
theory - if you
stand still long enough
you'll be cemented into a
large ugly building.
Is it fair to
say that Fatigue
has a harder, more
psychological edge than
some of the
style-over-substance Brit
gangster flicks of recent
Barnes: I hope
so, most of that crop of
late 90s gangster films
were played for laughs
but Fatigue is
very dark, there's a
couple of gags in there
but blink and you'll miss
them. We really wanted to
make something that would
feel odd, surreal and
different but still have
a recognisable genre
As well as
being a gritty thriller Fatigue
is also an excellent
portrait of a man
suffering deep
psychological despair.
How did the character of
Mitchell Willow, the
guilt-ridden former drug
dealer, evolve in the
writing process?
Barnes: Well we
started with
Mitchell, the script
evolved from his
character and to be
honest he came from
myself and Mark - not
that we were ever drug
dealers you
understand! I mean
we really were Mitchell
Willow at that point in
time - no hopers with no
jobs, money or prospects
and we really didn't know
what our next move was,
and the story really
sprung from taking that
character one step
further - what would
I have done if I'd been
offered that job? You
know, just deliver some
slightly dodgy parcels? I
mean the money's okay?!
At the time I'd have
probably done the same as
Mitchell, out of the
frying pan into the fire!
There's plenty
of kudos in making an
underground film but if
you had access to an
unlimited budget what
kind of movies would you
Barnes: Well
that's a bit of a dream
situation and to be
honest I haven't given it
much thought. The only
thing that's important
to me is to keep
working because when you
stop the rot sets in. At
the moment everything I'm
writing is aimed at a low
budget because it's
so much easier to
raise the finance. It
really is a jungle out
there. Woody Allen's
latest film won't be
getting a cinematic
distribution in the UK
despite its undoubted
genius so if a giant
like that can't get his
work seen it really makes
you realise that the most
important thing is just
to try and keep working
and if that
dream ticket arrives
then thank you very much
but I'm not gonna sit
round and wait for
Cannes, LA,
the Great Lakes - have
you had fun touting Fatigue
around the film-festival
circuit or is it as much
business as pleasure?
Barnes: Well
it's just fantastic. The
response around the globe
to Fatigue has
really justified all the
effort that we put in -
we walked away with Best
Picture at the Great
Lakes Film Festival late
last year and this week
we've just been selected
for festivals in Brussels
and Luxembourg .....
pleasure well deserved!!
Any plans to
make another movie in the
near future?
Barnes: Of
course, though all three
of us agree we could
never make a film the
same way we made Fatigue,
it almost killed us and
tested friendships. The
next one will be financed
the normal way with a
budget, a full crew, and
a break for lunch!
Thanks Mike

My Summer Tour
Music Stars Tell All About Life on the Road
Steve Earle is going fly-fishing. Lyle Lovett will squeeze in some horseback-riding. And Dave Matthews plans to hit some swimming holes with his three kids. Despite the clichés about groupies and all-night bacchanals on the road, many veteran acts seem to be more excited about the comfort of food, family and a well-appointed tour bus on their summer concert tours over the next few months.
With the concert season kicking into high gear, artists are reflecting on the ritual of the road, the shifting economics of live music and how they plan to spend their summer tours.
The synth-rock band Phoenix makes its inaugural appearance at the four-day Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee Friday. "Many people are talking about this festival: 'You're going to be wasted and take drugs,'" says singer Thomas Mars. "Those are two things I don't do, so I'm not sure I'm going to have a very good time."
The summer concert season remains an oasis of profit in the otherwise unsteady music business. So far this season, ticket sales are relatively strong for most major tours, including Bob Dylan's run of minor league baseball parks with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp, and a reunion of the pop group No Doubt. It's a good sign for artists and promoters who had early concerns that the shaky economy would keep fans at home. Organizers of Bonnaroo, where dozens of acts including Bruce Springsteen and Beastie Boys will perform this weekend, said this week that ticket sales were on pace to exceed last year's attendance, which was just short of the capacity of 80,000 people.
Last summer, high gas prices forced many traveling acts to trim their convoys and map their tour routes more conservatively. Fuel is less of a problem this summer so far—and some acts are more worried about their fans' shrinking entertainment budgets. "I've decided in advance to really go out of my way to show how appreciative I am that anyone shows up," says Mr. Earle, a singer-songwriter who recently embarked on a U.S. tour that will extend into October.
Here's what 10 acts now on tour or about to hit the road had to say about their summer plans.
Last September, the Brooklyn band TV on the Radio released its third album, "Dear Science," a collection of thorny indie rock songs that landed on many critics' lists of the best albums of 2008. This summer, the band is introducing that music to the biggest crowds of its eight-year career. Firsts for the band include a slot this weekend at Bonnaroo.
Making the rounds at high-profile festivals has meant crossing paths with some of their music idols—and occasionally having to follow them on stage. Last week at a Philadelphia festival organized by the hip-hop band the Roots, TV on the Radio went on after Public Enemy, the seminal rap group. "That was so exciting, and yet totally terrifying," says bass and keyboard player Gerard Smith. "It was like throwing the world's biggest paper airplane after the Macy's fireworks display on the Fourth of July."
The band's rising profile allows it to push into new territory this summer, such as Finland, where it's on the bill at the Ankkarock festival. The payout from such international festival gigs can often include travel expenses, providing a cost-effective way to travel in an expensive region and lay the groundwork for potential future tours. Life on the road was different in the band's early days, Mr. Smith says, when members were "sleeping two to a bed and sneaking in and out of the Motel 6."
Country star Taylor Swift has been spending her summers on tour since age 16, when she began her career opening for acts such as Rascal Flatts and Kenny Chesney. Now 19 years old, the singer is on her first headlining tour, which has some trappings of sleepaway camp. Lately her band and crew have been building bonfires in the parking lot after shows using a portable fire pit—"one of those things you can buy at Home Depot or Lowe's," Ms. Swift says. Inside a circle of tour buses, they toast s'mores and dance. The party typically starts mellow with music by John Mayer, she says, "then we bust out the Michael Jackson."
Her professional "family" rarely calls her Taylor. Usually it's "Tay," or "Swifty." They're traveling in a convoy of eight tour buses and 11 tractor trailers, with stops ranging from the outdoor stage at Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming to Madison Square Garden, where Ms. Swift has a sold-out show scheduled for August. One thing she prefers in a venue: a roof. "I love being able to hear the screaming and the audience noise. If there's no roof, the screams just go up in the air and it's not as dynamic," she says. With its myriad details to coordinate, road life agrees with Ms. Swift's penchant for organization. Her stage show includes eight costume changes and a man-made downpour that drenches her. She says, "It's cool if it rains—I just want to control it."
When he's on tour, roots rocker Steve Earle sleeps only on his tour bus. That way the New York resident can tune in to Yankees games anywhere, avoid unnecessary luggage schlepping and accommodate his Australian cattle dog, Beau, who once had a hotel incident with an elevator full of Los Angeles Lakers. "Beau freaked out and the Lakers freaked out," Mr. Earle recalls. But his band does book rooms, and Mr. Earle makes sure to get a hotel key from his tour manager so he can slip into the hotel gym for his morning workouts.
He recently released an album of songs written by his friend and mentor, the late Townes Van Zandt, and will mostly be on stage solo this summer, accompanying himself on an acoustic guitar. Such a quiet format can be challenging in outdoor venues, especially at festivals with big crowds and music bleeding over from other stages. But in recent years he has found ways to play more festivals. One reason: festival gigs typically earn Mr. Earle double or more the amount he'd collect when performing solo, because production costs are covered and organizers pay a premium for artists to build the date into their route. "I used to hate them," he says, "But it's no muss, no fuss, and a heck of a lot of money."
Once addicted to heroin, crack and alcohol, Mr. Earle served a prison stint in 1994 on drug and firearm charges; he says he's been clean ever since. It can be tough to locate group meetings while he's on the move, but sobriety helps him take advantage of his travels, he says: "I didn't go to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam until I was sober."
Though he performs virtually year-round, he looks forward to his summer tour because it brings fly-fishing. Mr. Earle routes his concerts through the Western states in August, when mountain streams are full of trout. This year, he's planning two late-summer concerts in Montana. In Bozeman, he'll rendezvous with the guide who taught him to fly-fish, and perhaps get some tips from the locals. He says, "Some people come to the bus after the show and let me know where the fish are."

*Ticket prices for solo performances.
Lyle Lovett wasn't exaggerating when he named his Large Band: More than a dozen musicians and singers back the Texas singer-songwriter on stage. But the veteran outfit, steeped in country, jazz and blues, only takes shape in the summer when Mr. Lovett can cover his increased costs with bigger gigs. The Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a craggy mountain venue outside Denver, is a reliable stop for Mr. Lovett that, with a capacity of about 10,000, accommodates 10 times as many ticket-buyers as some theaters he plays in other seasons.
The scene is pretty sedate. "We've never been accused of getting anyone dancing," Mr. Lovett says. But he enjoys watching families picnic on the grass or, at Humphreys Concerts By the Bay in San Diego, pull up in boats and honk their approval. All this reminds him that a career in music is sustainable, a concern that still nags after 25 years of performing. "Regardless of the economy," he says, "the ever-present elephant in the room is that people could just stop coming."
The singer is also a horse breeder and rider. (For deft maneuvering of his mare Smart Shinetta, he took home a trophy in April from the National Reining Breeders Classic.) On tour he often drops in on his "horse trainer heroes" to compare notes.
Every touring season has its new buzz bands, and this summer that label has stuck to Phoenix—never mind that this Paris-based band has been paying its dues for a decade. Once a backing band for Air, a celebrated electronic music act from France, Phoenix has expanded its cult following with its sunny fourth studio album, "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix," a blend of chiming rock and driving beats. An April performance on "Saturday Night Live" helped build demand for the group, which has a run of U.S. and Canadian performances in June before hitting the festival circuit in Europe.
Thomas Mars, the group's singer (and father to a two-year old daughter with film director Sofia Coppola), was in Germany last week, where Phoenix was appearing at the Rock Am Ring festival with some 70 other bands. Phoenix was going on at sunset, unlike the afternoon slots in previous years there, where Mr. Mars recalls playing to "a very empty field." But it can be tough to connect with a sea of listeners. "To be very honest you always have to look at the girls. I never look at guys. There's nothing worse than a guy who's eating a sandwich and yawning," Mr. Mars says.
Like so many American jazz musicians, tenor saxophone player Joshua Redman has traditionally spent much of his summer in Europe working a thriving festival circuit. In recent years, however, some jazz festivals have shut down, while others have incorporated more pop music to pull in broader audiences. "It used to be you could start doing festivals at the end of June and go well into August," Mr. Redman says. Now he spends more time country-hopping to fill gaps between festivals with solo gigs. "You go from France to Warsaw, then Holland, then London. That's kind of par for the course in the jazz summer festival scene."
Yet some sure things remain on Mr. Redman's calendar, including "arguably the best jazz festival in the world," the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which begins June 30 and will also feature Stevie Wonder, Dave Brubeck and Madeleine Peyroux. Mr. Redman, whose recent album "Compass" hit No. 4 on the Billboard jazz chart, has three concerts scheduled for Montreal. But with some impromptu jam sessions lasting until dawn, his total playing time will hinge on his motivation level after coming off stage. He says, "I went to twice as many jam sessions 10 years ago when I was 30."
Even in the hottest days of summer, Karen O typically performs in striking costumes. The lead singer of the trio Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a fashion icon for the alternative rock set. Her outfits during recent shows have included printed leotards, flowing ponchos and drapes of shiny gold discs.
The singer, born Karen Orzolek, replenishes her wardrobe on tour from the "goldmine" of vintage clothing in Midwest stores. Last week, she bought a pair of elastic banana-print pants from the 1980s at the Vintage Haberdashery in St. Louis. She says she's made some sartorial missteps, however, with outfits including patent leather or PVC. "It's as breathable as Saran wrap. Even if there isn't much of it, a little goes a long way in making you terribly hot and bothered performing in it," she says.
Between tour legs in Europe, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is spending 10 days at home in Las Vegas, where the rock star's to-do list includes renewing his driver's license (lapsed in 2004) and perhaps minor ear surgery. "I thought I was losing my hearing. It's like my ears won't pop," says Mr. Flowers, a founder of the band that helped restore disco beats to rock music with a hit album, "Hot Fuss," in 2004.
Two weeks ago he joined one of his biggest influences, Bruce Springsteen, on stage at the Pinkpop festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands, where the Killers were also on the bill. Before his set, Mr. Springsteen had dropped by to invite Mr. Flowers to help him sing "Thunder Road." The 27-year-old singer didn't need much time to bone up. "I was happy that he asked for that one," he says, "I've got that in the bag."
There's no tour bus or roadies for pianist Emanuel Ax, who typically travels solo by plane, but summer does involve other rituals for classical musicians, including the addition of outdoor festivals. If that includes listeners who've had too much wine while on their picnic blankets, so be it, says Mr. Ax, who welcomes a little rowdiness (within limits). What he could do without, however, is the way summer weather plays with the feel of his fingers on the keyboard. A humid night with a chill in the air, especially, "conspires to make everything feel slippery and horrible." But Mr. Ax, a sports fan, abides. "It's like playing football," he says. "There's no point in getting mad when there's snow or there's mud on the field."
"It's been a long time since I spent a summer doing anything else," says Dave Matthews about touring. Since breaking out in the mid-1990s, his eponymous rock band has been one of the concert industry's most consistent acts, pulling in repeat customers in a similar fashion to the Grateful Dead and Phish. His band had one of the top 20 U.S. tours last year, grossing $39 million in ticket sales, according to Billboard.
Like many touring veterans, Mr. Matthews likens his caravan to family, including the catering crew that buys local produce in each market. But when school's out for the summer it's easier for Mr. Matthews to pack along his actual family, including his wife, twin seven-year-old daughters and a son who turns two this month. "I know where all the children's museums are," he says. Whenever possible, he tacks on extra days for mini vacations. Among his favorite spots, the Columbia River system near the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington, and the Great Lakes area of New York near the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, where he performed last month.
The dry heat in a place like Phoenix wreaks havoc on the singer's voice. But elsewhere, the temperature tends to cause only cosmetic problems, says Mr. Matthews, who describes himself as an epic sweater. At center stage, he's largely out of reach of the air conditioning units in the wings, and the "little fan" at his feet doesn't offer much relief. He says, "I've found that sweating until it looks like you've wet your pants doesn't help much, but that's my main technique."

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hello there.
Sorry you had to wait. I forgot my password
Not at all.
Thank you so much for your question.
thanks for being here to answer
Do either of the parents want you to speak to the judge in their case?
I have not asked my daughter yet. I know she would be hard to convince. I live in another state than she
Are you seeking custody or visitation of the children?
You mentioned that you live in another state. Your optional information lists "Wisconsin". Are you in Wisconsin, or Is the divorce pending in Wisconsin?
Divorce pending in Wisconsin
I appreciate that information. Thank you for your patience. Please allow me to explain the law in Wisconsin:
I should start by saying that, because the nuances of every case are different, this information should not be construed as complete or advice without consulting in person with counsel. That said, the answer to the question is that although a grandmother can write to a judge in a divorce case, the judge is actually not allowed to read the content of the letter. To ensure that the court stays unbiased, the court will not consider any information unless all parties to the case have received notice and a chance to respond. Furthermore, no witness statement can generally be considered unless each party has had a chance to cross-examine the witness under oath. So even if the court receives a letter from a party to a case, the court cannot consider the content of the letter in its decision making process.
If either party to a divorce wants to let a third-party (such as a grandparent) be heard by the court, they can allow the third-party to make a statement via a declaration or affidavit, or they can call the party as a witness.
However, when the third-party is not a part of the case, and where their testimony is not invited, they are simply not a part of the action.
Whether the person is a grandparent or a cousin or a complete stranger, there is no right to be heard unless the person is a part of the case.
Ok this helps me. My only concern are my sweet grandbabies! Thank you for the answer.
Certain. I hope that this was helpful.
Did you have any other question?
Ok now i see you wrote i cannot be part of the case and that is unless there would be an affidavit?
It's possible that a party to the case may be able to introduce the statements of a non-party for limited purposes via an affidavit or declaration under oath.
Signing an affidavit or declaration under oath would not make someone a party to the case. It would just open their comments for consideration by a court.
OK..Thank You. I will talk to my daughter. This may be all that would be needed. Have a Great Night and God Bless

Today I reach my end point in Washington D.C.
The primary reason for the walk was to raise awareness for homeless veterans and veterans with behavioral health issues. In a time when veteran suicide is at an all time high, I felt like this was a positive way for me to combat the situation.
As I made my way across 12 states and encountered numerous people along the way, I saw first hand the effects of veteran hardship outside of my own community.
With each encounter, the walk became less about my own personal experience, but more of a collective effort to bring light to a harsh reality.
So as I take these final steps towards the capital building, there is a nation of people walking in spirit with me. A nation proud of its veterans. A nation as one.
Happy Veterans Day.

Reality for most of us means that we have to choose one wheelset for all conditions. You know the tradeoffs; deeper wheels are faster in the wind, lighter wheels are faster up hills. And regardless of which way you go, strength is always paramount. Looking at the options, most people would best off on mid-depth wheels -- light enough not to be a penalty uphill, but deep enough to eke out some advantages everywhere else. And this is where the Reynolds Forty Six Carbon Tubular Wheelset excels. These wheels have been ridden in cobblestone and hilly classics alike and at the Tour de France.
The Forty Six is an update of Reynolds popular DV46T wheelset. They have nearly the same rim shape, but the wheels are faster because of a subtle aerodynamic improvement. It's known as a Swirl Lip Generator and is a patented Reynolds feature you'll find on their shallow- and mid-depth carbon-fiber rims. The SLGs are two tiny lips on either side of the narrow edge of the rim. If you didn't know better, you might think they were parting lines that weren't sanded down after the rim came out of the mold. There's no sanding forgotten, and they are hardly an accident. The SLG creates turbulence that helps the airflow reattach faster behind, after passing over the rim. They also decrease sideways air force on the rim, and in so doing, make your bike easier to steer in crosswinds. This means it takes less concentration and less strength to pilot the bike so you can devote more concentration and more strength to going fast.
Another change is Reynolds' new CTg brake track. C is for Cryo, Tg for glass transition temperature. As you know, heat build-up is not a good thing at the brake track. For tubulars, heat build-up can lead to softening of the glue holding the tire to the rim and melting brake pads in the heat. The new CTg tracks are the result of a new resin system and a new laminate structure. In regular riding ...faster than the Thirty Two, but light enough for rolling race courses... conditions, it means the brake tracks operate up to 100 degrees cooler than the old tracks. In other words, braking will be better, more consistent, and you'll have little to fear from braking hard on long descents.
The rest of the wheel is equally high-performance. The rim is drilled for internal spoke nipples. This means the wheels are a bit faster and stronger, as the hidden aluminum nipples present less of an obstacle for the wind and the rim has smaller holes in it. The spokes are DT's bladed Aerolite, both front and rear. The Forty Six wheels use 20 radial spokes in front and 24 cross-2 drive and radial non-drive rear. DT also makes the hubs for Reynolds. These are the 240s model -- light, strong, smooth, and durable.
All Reynolds wheel owners can buy themselves some extra peace of mind by purchasing Reynolds' two-year damage protection plan. It's called RAP, short for Reynolds Assurance Plan. The insurance means you should have little fear that a crash will ruin your wheel investment. Find out more about it on the Reynolds Cycling site.
The Reynolds Forty Six Carbon Tubular Wheelset comes with either a Campagnolo or Shimano/SRAM compatible freehub body and includes a full set of Reynolds' Cryo Blue brake pads in versions to match each. Reynolds recommends only these pads as they were designed with the brake tracks; use of any other brake pads is not recommended and will void the warranty. Reynolds also includes their new ultra-light quick release skewers with the wheels.

Welcome to another beer style crash course video giving you quick but thorough explanations of beer styles.
If IPAs are for the hop heads, Scottish ales are for the malt heads. Their rich, sweet, caramel maltiness makes these highly addictive brews.
Unlike English beers which have fruity flavors from the yeast, Scottish ales are fermented cool (it's cold there) which reduces the fruity esters and gives a very clean flavor.
A long boiling process creates the caramel flavors that are so coveted in Scottish ales. Peat malt is often used by breweries recreating the style, but it wasn't traditionally used by Scottish brewers. The peat malt went to the distilleries and the brewers relied on their yeast, process, and other ingredients to create the beer's complex flavors.
History of the Scottish Ale
Early Scottish beers were gruit, beers that used herbs and spices instead of hops. The heather flower is abundant in Scotland and was a common ingredient.
Scotch whiskey drinkers are well aware of the quality of malt produced in Scotland. The huge whiskey market means there was plenty of barley for brewing beer, and they weren't stingy with it. The brewers used high malt bills which are responsible for the malty sweet flavors of these beers.
An interesting feature of Scottish ales is their naming convention, which is based on the Shilling system of currency. The stronger the beer, the more Shillings it was taxed (actually other beers were taxed the same way, but it really stuck with Scottish ales). The lighter beers were charged 60 Shillings while the stronger ones were charged 70,80, or 90 Shillings. Here's the BJCP breakdown if you're brewing to style:
- Scottish Light 60/- (2.5 – 3.2% abv)
- Scottish Heavy 70/- (3.2 – 3.9% abv)
- Scottish Export 80/- (3.9 – 5.0% abv)
- Scotch Ale aka Wee Heavy – (6.5 – 10% abv)
Now for some commercial examples:
Scottish Ale
- Orkney Dark Island
- Bellhaven Scottish Ale
- McEwan's Scottish Ales
- Three Floyd's Robert the Bruce
Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy
- Orkney SkullSplitter
- Bellhaven Wee Heavy
- Oskar Blues Old Chub
- Founders Dirty Bastard
While doing this video I was disappointed at how hard it was to find Scottish ales, especially lower abv varieties since there are a decent amount of wee heavies out there. They are unique beers and a refreshing break from the onslaught of hops in American craft beers.
Do we have any malt heads out there? What are your favorite Scottish ales?
Hey, it's Billy Broas from BillyBrew.com doing another beer style crash course video. Now I had a few people ask me to do a Scottish ale. I happen to love that style so I had no objections. So here it is a crash course in the Scottish ale beer style.
Scotland has a very long brewing tradition going back thousands of years. Back then they made what's known as grut, which are beers that are unhopped. Instead they're made with spices, herbs, roots, flowers and things like that. There are a lot of heather grown in Scotland so they made a lot of heather ales. The use of heather really isn't too common anymore. They eventually did switch over to hops, but there was a lot of resistance to that because they had to import them from England, which meant one that they're expensive, and two that they had to actually buy them from England, which they weren't too happy about.
Even still they really don't use a whole lot of hops in their beers. Very little. Just enough to preserve the beer and balance out the malt a little bit, but that kind of defines this style. They are really, really low hopped beers and it's all about the malt in Scottish ales. Malt is the defining future of the Scottish ale and there is a good reason for that. When you think of alcohol in Scotland what do you think of? Probably scotch or scotch whiskey. They grow a ton of barley in Scotland. It's really high quality barley for the distilleries and the breweries share that. So they have an abundance of barley and they definitely use a lot of that. They make these really rich malt focused ales.
You really can't talk about Scottish ales without talking about their naming convention. They were actually named based upon the taxes that were levied upon them. The currency back then was the shilling. The lower IBU beers were taxed less than the higher IBU beers. So your lower ones like the three percent Scottish ales they were taxed 60 shillings and that became the name of that beer style Scottish 60's shilling. Then you have 70, 80, 90 and 90 and up is known as a Scottish ale or a wee heavy same thing. 90 shilling and below, the lower IBU beers are called Scottish ales.
So what do they taste like? Like I said, really rich malt flavors. They're very smooth, really good caramel flavors also from an extended boiling process. There is very little hop bitterness and little to none at all hop flavor and aroma. They're often smoky, earthy and a little bit peaty. There are some butterscotch flavors in there. They're also really clean beers. You don't get the fruity flavors that you get from English ales. That's because they're fermented at pretty low temperatures for ales. So you don't get those fruity esters and because of those temperatures the yeast often drops out and doesn't finish fermenting the beer. That means you have residual sugar which means you have a sweeter beer.
The color is deep amber to brown and then ABB ranges from three percent on the 60 shillings to 10% or even higher on the wee heavies or the scotch ales. The IBUs range from 10 on the 60 shillings or as high as 35 on the Scottish ales which is still pretty low. So brewing these things and the ingredients got to talk about peat smoked malt or peat malt. It's used in distilleries for making Scottish whiskey. A lot of brewers do use it and a lot of brewers think that it's used on Scottish ales, but in fact, it's not traditionally. So if you're brewing to style leave out the peat malt. Save that for the whiskey. But then again, if you do like the smoky flavor that it gives you go ahead and use it. It's your taste buds, but try to keep it to a low percentage, two to three percent or lower.
Malts you want to go with a Scottish or English base malt. Use pale malt or Maris otter. Specialty malts you want to use crystal malt. Caropills[SP] can be used and even a small percentage of roasted barley normally three percent or below. Hops should only be used for bittering and go with an English variety. For the yeast, go with a Scottish ale yeast.
Okay commercial examples and I'll start with wee heavies or scotch ales because they're really more common. The king in my opinion is the Orkney Skull Splitter, fantastic beer. There is also this one from Isle of Sky brewery called We Beast. Then this is a newer American one called Highway 78 by Stone, Green Flash and Pizza Port. There is also an America Old Chub by Oscar Blues and founders Dirty Bastard. Scottish ales, Orkney also makes one called Dark Island. There is also the Bell Haven Scottish ale. In America there is the Great Divide Claymore scotch and the Three Floyd's Robert the Bruce.
Food pairing suggestions, your lighter Scottish ales, your 60 shillings, those would go well with something light like a salad. Your heavier wee heavies go great with meat. Something like pot roast would be fantastic, roast beef or say a steak that developed really good caramelized flavors that would really match the caramel flavors in the beer. These beers are also pretty sweet so you can definitely pair them with dessert. I think it would go great with cake or tiramisu. It's really fantastic for after dinner.
So that's a crash course on the Scottish ale beer style. Dig deeper in to them if you want. There is a really great history behind them. Thanks for watching guys. I'm Billy Broas from BillyBrew.com. Cheers.

A French bike with Italian components
A race bike to be used for commuting
A vintage bike with modern parts
Built with a spreadsheet instead inspiration
What can I say? I am ashamed of this bike.
In all its 16.3 lbs of embarrassment.
I even tried to write an algorithm to decide my tires.
What do you folks think? Total do-over right?

Wow, I figured there would be some way to do it cost effectively. That is limiting. Which cameras would have this functionality? Any camera with fire wire?
Using a Canon 5D MKII or III trough USB tethering is the way to go. This what we use for stop motion animation. The new Nikon D800 can be controlled through WiFi too.

These dashing youth are not only attractive, but as the children of the world's wealthiest people, they are also devastatingly rich. Having billionaire parents has its perks, from $60 million weddings to private yachts.
But while some of these heirs have become famous in their own rights as models and businessmen, others have stayed out of the spotlight, focusing on charity or private work.
Sofia Barclay: Sofia Barclay, 23, is the granddaughter of David Barclay, media and real estate tycoon, estimated to be worth a combined $3.2 billion with her twin brother Frederick.This beautiful heiress splits her time between London and New York City and attended Westminster School in London.
Sofia has said that she has always wanted to be an actress and has attempted to pursue her career in New York City. Considering her beauty and familial wealth, she should not have much of a problem.
Sir David Barclay, #358 on the Forbes list, is worth $3.2 billion.
Isha Ambani: The 20-year-old is currently a sophomore at Yale and the only daughter of Mukesh Ambani, an oil tycoon and India's richest man.At 16, Forbes put Isha at number 2 on their list of heiresses, noting that by then she already had an $80 million share in her father's company, Reliance Industries. Isha has now grown out of the braces and glasses of her teens and is not only an accomplished pianist, but a student leader in New Haven.
Mukesh Ambani, #19 on the Forbes list, is worth $22.3 billion.
Sam Branson: The son of Virgin mogul Richard Branson could very well pose as a double for his father, but he does far more than hide in Sir Richard's shadow.Sam, 26, who graduated from St Edwards in Oxford, has expressed an interest in becoming a documentary filmmaker and has mostly shied away from the public. However, the young heir is a known friend of Prince Harry.
A few years ago, Sam spent three months trekking across the Arctic and recently set up his own production company.
Richard Branson, #255 on the Forbes list, is worth $4.2 billion.
Georgina Bloomberg: Georgina is the daughter of Michael Bloomberg, who is not only New York City's mayor but the 20th richest person in the world. Georgina, the "rebellious" Bloomberg, has shunned the political and business world of her family to become a professional equestrian.Over the last few years, Georgina has written two novels for young adults centred around competitive horse racing with characters that appear to be based on both her and Mayor Mike.
Beyond being an avid Knicks fan and a member of a number of charity organizations, Georgina is dating baseball player Justin Dalles.
Michael Bloomberg, #20 on the Forbes list, is worth $22 billion.
Marta Ortega-Perez: This Spanish beauty is the daughter of Amancio Ortega, the founder of the global fashion firm Inditex, who Forbes says is the fifth richest man in the world.Rumors have it that Marta, 28, is being groomed by her father to one day take over the international fashion company that owns the Zara retail chain.
However, Marta has been given no easy path and started at the bottom where she stocked shelves and dealt with customers. This may be hard work, but considering her father is worth $37.5 billion, it's probably worth it.
Marta is also an avid equestrian and recently married Spanish equestrian star Sergio Alvarez Moya.
Amancio Ortega, #5 on the Forbes list, is worth $37.5 billion.
Vanisha Mittal: Vanisha, 31, is the daughter of the world's foremost steel magnate, Lakshmi Mittal. A graduate of Cornell University, Vanisha has been highly involved with securing real estate investments across the globe and taking key roles in her father's business.Nonetheless, the Indian heiress definitely benefits from having one of the richest fathers in the world. For her 2004 marriage to investment banker Amit Bhatia, her father threw her a $60 million wedding, considered one of the most lavish in recent history.
Lakshmi Mittal, #21 on the Forbes list, is worth $20.7 billion.
David Ellison: David Ellison, 29, is the movie star son of Larry Ellison, the co-founder and CEO of Oracle Corporation.With the financial backing of his father, David has attempted to become highly involved in Hollywood as both a producer and actor, and starred in the 2006 flop Flyboys.
However, David has recently garnered significant attention for his production company Skydance, which has backed such hits as True Grit and Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol.
Assumed heir of a family fortune currently estimated at $36 billion, David is also an accomplished aerobatic pilot.
Larry Ellison, #6 on the Forbes list, is worth $36 billion.
Amanda Hearst: The 28-year old is the heiress to the multi-billion dollar Hearst Corporation and graduated from Boston College with a major in art history. Although her parents may not be on the billionaire list, Amanda has five different Hearst family relatives ranked amongst the world's richest.Amanda's great-grandfather is frequently cited as the creator of modern tabloid journalism, but Amanda tends to stay out of the spotlight herself. However, about a decade ago Harper's Bazaar published an article claiming the heiress spends $136,000 on herself annually, a figure she vehemently denies.
Beyond the wealth, Amanda has modelled for Tommy Hilfiger and is the founder of Friends of Finn, an organization dedicated to the closing of puppy mills.
Currently, Amanda is an associate market editor at Marie Claire.
Five of her relatives are worth $1.9 billion or more and are ranked by Forbes.
Dylan Lauren: This stunning Duke graduate is the only daughter of legendary fashion icon Ralph Lauren. Although she could have easily rested on the laurels of her father, Dylan went out and became a successful businesswoman in her own right. Inspired by Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Dylan created Dylan's Candy Bar, the international and widely successful confectionery chain.Dylan, 38, is married to hedge fund manager Paul Arrouet and recently came out with a book entitled Unwrap Your Sweet Life.
Ralph Lauren, #122 on the Forbes list, is worth $7.5 billion.
Petra Ecclestone: Petra, 23, is the daughter of Bernard Ecclestone, CEO of Formula One and perhaps the most glamorous heiress on our list.As we've reported before, Petra lives quite the luxurious lifestyle with multiple million-dollar estates across the world, including the former Spelling estate, once the most expensive home in America, for which she paid $85 million.
It is no surprise that Petra is a former model, but this heiress is a working girl as well. As an ambassador for the Meningitis Trust and an aspiring fashion designer with multiple lines, Petra proudly boasts about working 8 hour days.
Nevertheless, Petra's recent wedding cost £12 million with performances by Eric Clapton, The Black Eyed Peas and David Guetta; nothing big compared to Bernie's $2.8 billion net worth.
Bernard Ecclestone, #418 on the Forbes list, is worth $2.8 billion.

The End
Kevin Wasie - So, you ask why any college student would give up their precious spring break to study marketing in the middle of Indiana, Well … So do I, because I'm still not sure what made me make that decision. Maybe it was the prospect of getting to know some alumni; maybe it was the thought of learning material not available for study here at Wabash; or maybe it was the idea that if I'm not doing it then someone else will be. Either way, it was worth it.
After spending our Thursday night at the College Football Hall of Fame, we met up with Ken on Friday at 9:00 AM to debrief. As we found out from Katie Barrentini, Director of Marketing at the CFHOF, they were not doing nearly as well as their sales numbers projected. However, after discussing this issue in the debrief, most of us agree that in face of all of the obstacles, the marketing department is doing a fantastic job. It is not easy to deal with a low budget on the hopes of obtaining higher sales numbers.
After debriefing, we were met by the Vice President of Rowland Associates, Tom Vriesman. While at his previous job for Herman Miller, Tom was highly involved in the creation of a brand market strategy for their National Design Centers and Dealers. It was apparent from his presentation how influential the philosophy and vision of the company is on the products and services. For instance, Tom told us how their sales strategy is related to biblical ideology of listening to the client, and then consulting. This philosophy is apparent in every single detail of their dealer locations which are built around finding out what is best for the client, and then helping them select it.
When Tom was finished with his presentation we moved onto the last exercise of the marketing trip, evaluating our own brand image. As Ken says, it is important to know how you will act and what you will say before going into any interview. This may sound very simple, but when we were put to the challenge, we found it to be a difficult task.
Moving onto one more administrative detail, we filled out a survey to gauge the success and/or failures of this year's trip. In order to improve upon this year, Lu and Ken will look into these results and make necessary changes.

Can an iCal attachment contain HTML in the description property? If so, what are the restrictions?
After doing some research and testing. The answer is a qualified no. Meaning: you could throw it in there, but you shouldn't.
It is not strictly forbidden by the RFC, but DESCRIPTION is not the appropriate property for HTML content.
DESCRIPTION should be the plain text version of your content. The property X-ALT-DESC with a FMTTYPE declaration of text/html is the appropriate property for HTML content.
The following example worked in both Outlook and Gmail/Google Calendar, but does not appear to be supported by Thunderbird(w/Lightning): (please, forgive the ouput. it was generated by Outlook)
Like any HTML rendering in an email client supported tags and styles are limited.
HTML in the description won't be rendered as HTML in Outlook, at the least. If you want to include rich text that Outlook will recognize, export an event from your Outlook calendar, and take a look at what they do. I believe they provide plain-text in the Description and then create another property for the HTML.
I think it's possible, according to the RFC, but I doubt that it's a good idea, as it appears to be a bit of a security hole.

It's been more than 30 years since Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) first globe-trotted around the world in search of precious relics from antiquity and, thanks to the popularity of the four movies chronicling his exploits, the character has transcended film to become an enduring part of our American culture. Even the least knowledgeable of movie buffs know that Indiana loves his hat, hates snakes, and relishes saving artifacts from the fiendish clutches of the Nazis.
Throughout the years, dozens of real-life adventurers have been offered up as the inspiration for the character, but if any of them truly did serve as the basis for Indiana Jones we may never know because creators George Lucas and Steven Spielberg aren't talking. One of the most recent additions to the list is also one of the most controversial because this "Indiana Jones" actually worked for the Nazis.
The Strange Truth
One of the most mysterious figures in modern archaeological history, German medievelist Otto Rahn traveled the world in search of ancient artifacts and legendary treasures. Rahn's meticulous study of The Iliad led him to the western coast of Turkey, where he discovered ruins that he believed to be the legendary city of Troy. Obsessed with finding the Holy Grail, Rahn journeyed to the Pyrenees region of southern France because he believed there was a link between Wolfram von Eschenbach's epic 13th century poem "Parzival" and the Grail. After publishing his findings, Rahn was contacted by Heinrich Himmler, the brutal leader of Hitler's SS, who wanted to fund his research into finding the grail. Though not a Nazi himself, Rahn accepted the commission, telling a friend, "A man has to eat. What was I supposed to do? Turn Himmler down?"
Himmler was so confident in Rahn's theories that he had a space set aside in Wewelsburg Castle in Westphalia for the Holy Grail. Rahn never did discover the Grail and his alternative lifestyle landed him in hot water with Himmler, who ordered him to serve a three-month tour of duty as a guard at the Dachau concentration camp. Rahn was horrified by what he saw at the camp, writing, "I have much sorrow in my country… impossible for a tolerant, liberal man like me to live in a nation that my native country has become." The archaeologist naively attempted to resign from the SS and Himmler accepted, but soon thereafter Rahn was dead. Or not. Some say he committed suicide, while others say Himmler had him killed. Another theory has it that he didn't die at all, but changed his name and became an ambassador. Rahn's true demise is, perhaps, forever lost in time. That is, until another real-life "Indiana Jones" digs up the truth in some long lost tomb...
Inspired Fiction
Raiders of the Lost Ark,
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
In the two most popular movies in the series, Indiana Jones (Ford) races to discover legendary religious artifacts before the Nazis can get their clutches on them. In Raiders, we see that the Nazis will spare no expense to discover the Ark of the Covenant for Hitler, employing thousands to dig holes all over the desert. In Last Crusade, the Nazis are on the hunt for the Holy Grail, the very same item that Rahn spent his career searching for on behalf of the Nazis.

The private-equity firm that owns Pabst Blue Ribbon beer is planning to bid on the Hostess cake brands division – which includes Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Drake's Devil Dogs, and…Twinkies. Could a PBR-like revival be in the snack cake's future? PBR and Twinkies may not seem similar. One is a cheap-but-popular beer, especially beloved in hipster urban neighborhoods. The other a once-pervasive childhood staple with a bit-role in the Hostess bankruptcy proceedings. But both are iconic legacy brands that were once very much in demand. PBR has been revived. Twinkies ain't doing so well.

Golfers Elbow or Tennis Elbow - Which One do You Suffer From?
Of all the major elbow injuries, the two most common are golfers elbow and tennis elbow. The problem is knowing which one you actually suffer from. Let's take a look at both golfers elbow and tennis elbow.
Golfers elbow is very similar to tennis elbow, in the sense that the causes and ways you can develop it are the same. If you suffer from golfers elbow, you will feel pain and discomfort on the inside of your elbow, closest to your body.
Tennis elbow on the other hand, is pain and discomfort on the outside of the elbow. Tennis elbow is much more common than golfers elbow. With tennis elbow, the pain usually starts out innocently enough as dull pain or may feel like you just bumped your elbow. Overtime, if not treated, tennis elbow will get worse. It's important, to first get diagnosed from a medical professional and then take proactive measures to cure and treat it.

Penguins edge Phantoms in OT
GLENS FALLS, N.Y. - Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins goalie Jeff Zatkoff had not allowed more than two goals in each of his past six starts, so the Penguins had to like their chances Friday night.
Zatkoff had already allowed those two goals when the Penguins and Adirondack Phantoms began overtime, and the Penguins never really gave the Phantoms the slightest chance to get the third.
They controlled the puck for much of the first minute of overtime - taking advantage of a four-on-three power play - and capitalized on a breakdown to take a 3-2 win at Glens Falls Civic Center.
Alex Grant blasted the game-winner from the top of the slot at the 1:19 mark, just 18 seconds after the Phantoms finished killing off Jeff Dimmen's interference minor. But as Dimmen rushed out of the box and into the defensive zone, he misread the play and left Grant alone inside the blue line.
Beau Bennett found Grant with a drop pass, and he drove the winner past goalie Brian Boucher.
"We had a little bit of momentum there on the power play and that allowed us to have some offensive zone time," Penguins coach John Hynes said. "It was a great shot."
The Phantoms (165) and Penguins (163) entered the game with the two fewest goal totals in the Eastern Conference. The first 25 minutes or so, then, went as a reasonable person might expect.
The two sides played to a defensive stalemate, and combined for just about 20 total shots on goal, before they found their offense and traded goals about four minutes apart in the second period.
Adirondack struck first when Garrett Roe beat Zatkoff from an odd angle 5:25 into the frame, but the Penguins answered back with a power play goal, when Jayson Megna redirected former Phantoms defenseman Joey Mormina's shot from the point past Boucher at the 9:06 mark.
The Penguins took their first lead early in the third period, when Riley Holzapfel got past a Phantoms defenseman and swept Brian Gibbons' pass behind Boucher at the 5:59 mark.
But Adirondack, which boasts the worst record in the Eastern Conference at 28-34-3-3, forced overtime when Shane Harper finished off a rush with amateur try-out Kyle Flanagan and knocked the rookie's centering pass behind Zatkoff just 6:44 before the horn sounded.
That just set up Grant's heroics, though, and the goal ensured the Penguins remained one point back of the fourth-place Portland Pirates in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt.
"They pushed us to the wire and when it goes to overtime it's anyone's game," Zatkoff said. "It's a bounce. It's one play, and fortunately we were on the good end of it."

I am trying to decide whether to buy an alva baby pack of 20 pockets with bamboo inserts. I have tried them out and I think they could work for us.
Here are my numbers:
150 dollars- 20 cloth alva baby diapers + 20 bamboo inserts
37 dollars -12 extra bamboo inserts
35 dollars - wash money spent every two days.
Disposables 50 dollars (up&up diapers, 2 packs per month)
Is it worth the trouble to cloth diaper when the money difference is not really that much and there is so much work involved? Should I order my pack from alva? Should I try sunbaby instead?
I was considering getting the grovia diapers because reviewers said it was easier, but they are out of my budget and some reviewers said they leak. Are they worth it?

Family of former chief military rabbi will return Torah scroll from 1967 liberation of Jerusalem, donated to IDF by fallen soldier's family in 1949.
Yoav Zitun
Published: 05.05.14, 19:54 / Israel News
Yoav Zitun
The iconic Torah scroll seen in the Six-Day War victory picture from the Western Wall will be returned to the IDF and be placed in a special case in the Chief of Staff''s office, bringing an end to a decades long dispute.
Related stories:
The scroll will be placed in case in six months time, at a special ceremony attended by the Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz, representatives from the Defense Ministry, the chief military rabbi and representatives of the Shapira and Goren Families.
The family has protested about the six month time period for the scroll's return. "There are few that are still alive and our concern is that they may not live to see the scroll back in its natural place. This delay is just a tactic meant to buy more time. Every day the scroll is not in its rightful place inside the military ark, it desecrates the memory of the fallen soldier and the bereaved family members who are no longer with us."
