A Song A Day (Electronic Music Version)
So we came to the conclusion, that recommending certain artists for a genre does not really work, as most arstists' styles vary too much.
Listing all your favorite artists is not specific enough to really point to the good songs made by those artists.
Also such a list is both too much information at once and too much work to go through, overwhelming the lazy of us.
I would still love to tap into the vast knowledge of our users' music reportoire.
It's still the best way to discover new music.
So how about this thread?
- Post only one or two songs a day. If you know more, keep them in reserve for later.
- Don't only post your absolute favorites, although those are a good start. Aim for whatever is interesting, new, or needs more attention for some reason (we won't judge your taste in music based on this ).

I have been listening to some Finnish sounds lately.
I had heard of Cytokine before, but I don't think I'm ready to fully embrace the WOB just yet It was a good track, though.

Quite chilled out DnB. That's another style I have to delve into at some point. I'll continue with the chill-out theme. Quality is awful, but it sounds good enough on my speakers.
I just have to add another track I just came across. It has a great vibe!

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. announced recently its plans to enter the Indy Racing League (IRL) for the 2003 season competition, and its racing subsidiary, Honda Performance Development, Inc. (HPD) in Santa Clarita, California, has contracted with Ilmor Engineering Inc. (a sister company to Ilmor Engineering, Ltd.) to provide engines. HPD and Ilmor will work together as technical partners to design, develop and produce engines for the 2003 season. HPD will provide trackside support to teams using the newly developed, Honda Indy V-8 engine.
"This is an exciting all-new chapter in Honda's racing history and will give Honda the opportunity to compete in the challenging IRL racing series and the famous Indianapolis 500 race, while at the same time expand HPD's abilities as a true racing engine development company," said Robert Clarke, general manager of HPD. "Competing in the IRL series, with its rules to intentionally limit the use of high cost technology and thus provide more parity in the racing field, will give Honda a new competitive experience and fans more exciting racing."
"This new direction builds on a foundation of nearly ten years of CART racing and will serve to elevate HPD's capability from engine assembly to engine design and development and reflects a new commitment to American racing."
"Our technical relationship with Ilmor, an international racing engine company with a long term record in designing and developing competitive racing engines, will allow us to develop the all-new 3.5 liter, normally aspirated V-8 engine in time for the 2003 IRL racing season," said Clarke.
Ilmor Inc. will use a combination of engineering resources in the U.S., a special projects group in the UK and a new manufacturing plant to support the project.
This announcement comes after weighing a variety of options for HPD's business activities and consideration of American Honda's long-term North American motorsports needs. HPD announced it was leaving the CART series in October 2001.
Previously, Honda R&D and HPD jointly developed engines for the CART racing series from 1994 to present, with Honda R&D handling the majority of those responsibilities.
This change will mean that all U.S. auto racing engine R&D responsibilities will be turned over to HPD. This new shift in responsibilities will require HPD to further develop its in-house design, development and manufacturing expertise and capacity. "We have always said that racing is an important training tool for our engineers and these new responsibilities will certainly prove to be beneficial for them," said Clarke.
Honda Performance Development, Inc. was founded in 1993 and has won more than 60 races since it started competition in 1994 including winning four CART Manufacturer's Championships. The Honda Turbo V-8 has powered the past six consecutive CART World Series Driver's Championship Champions.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Jun 12, 2013.
QuestionIf a tree on a undeveloped lot falls during a storm and causes damge to a screen enclosure and a a fence on an adjoining lot, is it the responsibility of the home owner or the lot owner for the removal of the tree?
Most likely the lot owner but I would check the local ordinances to confirm.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A Jewish family of nine told Israel National News that as they walked home from Friday evening prayers last week they were set upon by a gang of Arab youth, and that nearby Israeli police officers did nothing to prevent the attack.
The family was returning to its home near the Flowers Gate in Jerusalem's Old City when five Arab youth with covered faces began hurling concrete blocks at them.
The family managed to take cover under the roof of a nearby store and work their way home without injury. But the children were visibly traumatized by the incident.
What's worse is that several Israeli Border Police officers were standing nearby and witnessed at least part of the attack, but were unable to intervene.
The mother told Israel National News that she later confronted the officers and was told that they could not stop the attackers for fear of getting in trouble with their superiors.
"Soldiers and Border Police can act only if there's an immediate threat to life," she said, recalling the officers' explanation. "What are they waiting for, for somebody to be killed?"
Unfortunately, under Israel's current rules of engagement, that is precisely what they are waiting for. Israel has been so battered by a hateful and condescending international community that it often fears taking even basic measures to defend its citizens until a tragedy big enough to unquestionably justify such measures occurs.
The stoning attack on this family is such a routine kind of attack against the Jews in this area that it was not reported in the mainstream Israeli press.

Yesterday we wrote about Nancy Pelosi's refusal to allow House Resolution 267, a call for the release of the captured British sailors and marines who are being held in Iran, to be voted on by the House of Representatives. Despite pressure from Republican Congressmen, Pelosi remained adamant and the House adjourned today without considering the resolution:
The omission by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is being noted by some Republicans, who say they should have gotten the chance to join the Senate in denouncing Tehran's bold actions.
"I am very disappointed that the speaker chose not to act," said Rep. Charles Dent, R-Pa.
"I believe it's important for us as Americans to show our solidarity with the Britons," he added in a phone interview Friday. "The British are our closest allies, and I think we have to stand next to them in a moment like this."
The Senate on Thursday, before adjourning for its one-week break, passed a resolution condemning the act "in the strongest possible terms" and calling for the sailors "immediate, safe and unconditional release."
Pelosi's spokesman Brendan Daly said the speaker was reluctant to weigh in on the incident without knowing that such a message would do more good than harm. Daly said the British government had not asked Congress to try to pressure Tehran.
"The leadership discussed it and agreed that inserting Congress into an international crisis while ongoing would not be helpful," Daly said.
Lord knows the Democrats would not want to insert Congress into an international crisis. In the same spirit of non-insertion, Pelosi departed for the Middle East, where she will visit Syria, Israel and the West Bank. I suppose we should be grateful that she won't stop by to pay her respects to Ahmadinejad.

Bent and Huddlestone get England starts
Darren Bent and Tom Huddlestone will get the chance to stake their claims for a place in England's final 23 for the World Cup after being handed starts in Sunday's friendly international against Japan.
Boss Fabio Capello needs to cut seven players from his preliminary squad of 30 ahead of the tournament in South Africa.
Sunderland striker Bent did not feature in the 3-1 win over Mexico on Monday because of a hamstring injury.
Capello opted to start with Peter Crouch, who scored his 21st England goal, and bring on Jermain Defoe in the second half.
Bent scored 24 times in the Barclays Premier League last term, more than Defoe, Crouch and Emile Heskey. He has yet to score a senior international goal, though.
Tottenham midfielder Huddlestone was introduced from the bench against Mexico.
And with doubts over the fitness of Manchester City's Gareth Barry, Huddlestone is a possible alternative in the holding midfield role.
"I have seen Huddlestone in a lot of games," said Capello. "This year he always played very well as a holding player and I am happy because he is here as he is one of the important English players."
Capello has also confirmed David James will start his first international since the qualifying victory over the Ukraine at Wembley on April 1, 2009, 10 games ago.
In addition, Aaron Lennon will also be handed a place in Capello's team to face Japan, possibly on the left wing, where he has spent most of this week in training.

Most keyboards that either come with a computer for free these days or are purchased for next to nothing at the local computer mart use inexpensive "rubber dome" or "membrane" contacts under the keys that have a mushy feel, lack tactile feedback, and must be fully depressed in order to be detected. The result can be an uncomfortable and tiring typing experience. Mechanical keyboards on the other hand utilize an individual mechanical switch underneath each key that provides consistent actuation. Such switches are usually only used for industrial applications due to their price. The benefit of these mechanical switches is comfort, increased typing speeds, and lifetime. Mechanical switches are rated for millions of key presses. In its lifetime a high quality mechanical switch based keyboard will provide a reliable and pleasurable typing experience for a long time to come, outliving several cheaper keyboards.
Our former Los Alamitos, CA showroom is closed.
We carry Cherry MX based keyboards that are currently available with five varieties of Cherry MX switches, all of which are mechanically compatible in size and shape, but differ in their internal workings; as such they are suited for different applications. Cherry MX switches are made by ZF Electronics (formally known as Cherry Corporation) and detailed technical specifications can be found on their website here.
Commonly, Cherry MX key switches are known by the color of their plastic keystem which can be seen when the keycap is removed. Aside from color, these switches differ in three important ways.
1. Change in force required over the keystroke
Each kind of switch defines itself with a resistance or force which varies over the duration/travel of a keystroke. As you will see in the Travel vs. Force diagrams for each Cherry switch (below), each switch reacts differently as you press and release. Note the unit of force in these diagrams is cN or centi-Newtons, 10 cN is equivalent, for practical purposes, to 10.2grams on planet earth; so approximately 10 grams for the sake of discussion.
2. Maximum force required to actuate the switch
Keyswitches react with an increase in force in order to provide tactility, prevent errant keypresses, or facilitate rapid actuation. With Cherry MX switches, resistance is lowest at the top of the keystroke and highest at the bottom. This maximum resistance/force is important to consider, since a higher resistance means more work for you!
3. Sound
Some switches provide an audible click, while others try to be as quiet as they can. Volume-wise: Tactile Click > Tactile Touch > Linear Touch > Tactile Force > Linear Force. Details follow the diagrams below.
"Brown" switches, found in all Brown Tactile Touch keyboards are non-clicky switches that are essentially defined by their tactile "bump," or rapidly increasing point or resistance, which occurs between 1 and 2mm into the keystroke. The subtle physical sensation Tactile Touch switches provide indicate to your finger that the key has been actuated*, so that you can move your finger onto its next destination; this tactility along with the low resistance/force these switches provide make them well suited for fast touch typists in quieter environments. (Force requirement: 45 to 60cN)
"Clear" switches, found in all Clear Tactile Touch keyboards are non-clicky switches that are essentially defined by their strong tactile "bump," or rapidly increasing point or resistance, which occurs between 1 and 2mm into the keystroke. Unlike Brown Tactile Touch switches, Clear Tactile Touch switches provide a much more pronounced tactile bump. Also, the higher resistance/force of these switches make them better suited for touch typists with higher than normal finger strength.(Force requirement: 55 to 65cN)
"Blue" switches, found in all Tactile Click keyboards, are a CLICKY switch, which like the Brown switch, have a tactile "bump," or rapidly increasing point or resistance at 1-2mm, but with the addition of an audible clicking mechanism which tells the world they have arrived! The Blue Tactile Click switches differ from the Tactile Touch primarily in that they create an audible click. Like their "Brown" brothers, "Blue" Tactile Click switches have a tactile bump to indicate to your finger that the key has been actuated*, and the strong clicky feel and sound leaves no doubt, so your finger can move onto its next destination. The low resistance/force of these switches make them well suited for fast touch typists, particularly those who are nostalgic for the sound of typewriters and terminal keyboards. (Force requirement: 50 to 60cN)
"Green" switches, found in all Tactile Click keyboards, are a CLICKY switch, which like the Brown and Blue switch, have a tactile "bump," or rapidly increasing point or resistance at 1-2mm, but with the addition of an audible clicking mechanism which tells the world they have arrived! The Green Tactile Click switches differ from the Blue Tactile Click switches, but with a heavier spring. The higher resistance/force of these switches make them well suited for touch typists with STRONG fingers -- you've been warned! (Force requirement: 70 to 80cN)
"Black" switches, found in all Linear Force keyboards, are unique in that their resistance increases at a constant rate over the keystroke. This linear characteristic provides a smooth uninhibited keystroke that affords the user with more control and quicker key reset, hence they are well suited for fast paced gaming where repetitive keypresses are the norm. The addition of higher resistance makes Linear Force switches resistant to errant keypresses. (Force requirement: 60 to 80cN)
"Red" switches, found in all Linear Touch keyboards, are a unique combination of linearly increasing resistance, like the Black switch, but with lighter resistance, similar to that of the Brown switch. This lighter linear characteristic not only provides a smooth uninhibited keystroke, but also lighter resistance for a more versatile typing experience, hence they are a well suited switch for someone who switches between gaming and typing. As with all linear switches, there is no physical tactility to indicate the point of actuation, so if the switch is not pressed far enough, actuation may not occur, as actuation cannot be assured from feel alone. (Force requirement: 30 to 60cN)
* It's important to note that with mechanical switches, it is not necessary to press the switch completely down to actuate the key, they generally actuate halfway into the keystroke; which is a key benefit over your standard rubber membrane keyboard, as this provides a more consistent and comfortable typing experience.
Other factors to consider:
"Blue" switches have an audible click that occurs right before the point of actuation; this aural registration is a pleasure for some typists, but is *not* recommended for quieter settings. On the other hand, "Brown", "Black", and "Red" switches are designed to be quiet; though Black switches tend to be the quietest of the bunch since their higher resistance helps to slow your finger down before you fully depress the key, which would normally result in a clack/clapping sound as the switch bottoms out and the keycap comes in contact with the switch housing.
Also, keep in mind that all of these switches have springs inside, so some small vibrations are normal. Additionally, the plastic keycaps and metal backplates of keyboards have their own tune and natural resonance as they are played:)

Larger keys on mechanical keyboards; i.e. Spacebar, Backspace, Shift, etc. use stiff hinge-like wires to stabilize the left and right sides of a key so that the entire length of the keycap moves downward regardless of where you press on it. These hinges are called Stabilizers. And just like door hinges, these stabilizers need a little bit of grease now and then. For this reason, we offer two specially formulated greases with convenient curved-tip dispensers we call Mechlube and Mechlube 2. Why are there two different kinds? Well, some keyboards have different stabilizer mechanisms, so we recommend you check out both Mechlube and Mechlube 2 in order to understand which is more suitable for your keyboard.
Before you do anything...unplug your keyboard from your computer IMMEDIATELY!
Now take a deep breath;) If a switch is sticky or not functioning due to a spill then it is possible to restore the original function of the switch by cleaning its internals using procedures outlined below. However, if whatever you spilled caused a catastrophic electrical short; i.e. smoke, sparks, burning smell, and/or fire to rise from your keyboard then you may want to consult with our support before you continue. Otherwise, you're likely safe to proceed with the following instructions.
If only one or a few switches are affected, then first remove the keycap of the offending switch/es. Press the keystem down and drip 2 or 3 drops of distilled water into the switch housing while actuating the switch several times. It's possible to rinse and dislodge most contaminants this way. Some water will fall through the back of the switch into the keyboard, but most can be removed by turning the keyboard upside down and draining the switch into a soft towel. This process should be repeated 3 or 4 times. You should then allow the keyboard to dry for at least one day in a warm and dry location.
For more than a few sticky keys it's more efficient to open the case of your keyboard and remove the entire switch board and soak it in a distilled water bath for about 30 minutes (up to one hour) while intermittently actuating all switches. This should loosen and flush out most water soluble contamination with minimal stripping of the factory grease present inside the switches. Two or more days in a warm dry location, preferably with sunlight, should be allowed for all water to evaporate. Special precautions: Do not heat the water and do not use a hair dryer on any attached keycaps; permanent damage can occur.
** These instructions are for Cherry MX based keyboards, Topre keyboards can present significantly more complications. Please email us for a consultation.

With the exception of the Happy Hacking Keyboards, which have their own Apple drivers, most of our keyboards will work on Apple, Linux, and variants natively in some manner; products that are known to not work at all in some OSes will be listed as such. Please note that most of our boards use a common Windows PC layout which does not have keys that a normal Apple keyboard would have. When used on a Mac, keyboard keys on a PC layout keyboard will automatically be mapped as shown in the following table:
|PC Key
|Mac Key
|Print Screen
|Scroll Lock
As an alternative for Apple/OSX, third-party utilities exist to allow remapping keys, such as Karabiner
The return policy for many products is stated at the bottom of the product page. For most keyboards we do not accept returns for a refund; due to sanitary reasons we can/will not resell a used keyboard so please make your purchase with consideration for this policy. ELITEKEYBOARDS IS NOT A TEST-DRIVE SERVICE. All other products that have no stated return policy on their respective product page can be returned for a full refund if unopened and unused; opened or used products will only be refunded the price minus a 15% restocking fee.
Key "chattering" or "contact bouncing" is a natural occurrence in mechanical switches that can cause one switch press to be detected as multiple presses. Under normal switch operation the digital electronics in a keyboard will filter out a small amount of natural chatter/bounce, however, in the case that an individual switch is damaged or defective, the amount of chatter/bounce can become too large to be filtered. The result is a repetition of key input seen on your computer screen for only one intended key press. This is a problem that affects only the broken switch and is a problem that is covered by your EliteKeyboards warranty.
How to test for chattering:
Severe chattering is actually very rare, but it can be very frustrating if you think the problem is you when it is actually the key switch.
If you're under a Windows operating system, we offer our own testing program Switch Hitter for extensive chatter testing. Testing under other operating systems can be achieved using the following procedure:
1. Start by opening up a text editor like Notepad in MS Windows.
2. Repeatedly press and depress the suspect key and alternate each keypress with a space. It is a good idea to vary the force with which you hit the key in question while performing this test; as chattering can sometimes show up more frequently with hard key presses, but not with light; and visa-verse.
A good switch will have output like this on your screen:
d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
A chattering switch will output:
d d d d dd d d d dd d d d d ddd d d d d d dd ddd d d
3. Repeat step #2 for several lines and also test a few keys you do not suspect as a control case in order to eliminate your brain and fingers from the equation.
How to fix chattering:
Please, under no circumstances should compressed air be blown into a mechanical switch!! This bad advice is repeated across internet forums, and it is a recipe for disaster. Please do not do this!
If you find you are experiencing a problem with one or more switches, please contact email@example.com.

What is Urban Swim?
Urban Swim is an organization dedicated to providing people with safe access to clean water.
We stage open water swim events in urban areas as a means of fostering a relationship between people and water. Our events introduce people to the recreational possibilities of their local waterways, and in so doing, raise their awareness of water quality issues.
Our activities in support of safe access to clean water are not limited to our open water swim events. We are also actively involved in other initiatives including dock sharing, water testing, free kayaking programs, support of other open water swim events, partnerships, and political advocacy.

During severe winter weather AAA receives a high number of road service calls. AAA Chicago also advises that priority service will be given to members who are stranded or in a dangerous situation.
AAA recommends if motorists become stranded, it is best to stay with the vehicle. If you can start your engine, run it only long enough to keep warm. Make sure the exhaust pipe is snow-free.
Proper Preparation
Preparing for frigid weather conditions will help keep your vehicle on the road, advises AAA Chicago. Motorists can help keep their vehicles on the road by doing the following:
- Check your battery strength. Faulty batteries cause more car starting problems than any other factor. At 0 degrees, a good battery has 35 percent less starting power.
- Park your car in the garage. If you have no garage, put a tarp over the hood or park protected from prevailing winds. To keep doors from freezing shut, place a plastic trash bag between the door and the frame.
- Keep the fuel tank at least half-full to avoid fuel-line freeze-up
- Make sure your car has an emergency kit, which should include the following: Cell phone and charger, jumper cables, warm gear for all potential passengers – boots, hats, gloves, blankets, flares, flashlight and extra batteries, extra food and water for all potential passengers, general first aid kit, non-clumping kitty litter, ice scraper, snow brush and shovel, windshield washer fluid
When taking to the road during winter weather, remember to drive with caution to help maintain your safety as well as that of passengers, fellow motorists and roadside workers. AAA recommends the following tips for winter driving:
- Before starting out in snowy weather, take time to remove the snow from the entire car so it doesn't blow onto your windshield or the windshields of other drivers. Make sure your mirrors and lights are clean.
- Drive with your low-beam headlights illuminated.
- Watch for icy surfaces on bridges and intersections, even when the rest of the road seems to be in good condition.
- Look farther ahead in traffic. Actions by other drivers will alert you to problems and give you extra seconds to react.
- When changing lanes, avoid cutting in front of trucks, which need more time and distance than passenger vehicles to stop.
- Don't use cruise control in precipitation and freezing temperatures.
- Remember that four-wheel drive helps you to get going quicker, but it won't help you stop any faster.
- Apply constant, firm pressure to the pedal with anti-lock brakes.

|Garden view of a Hacienda in Mexico
While on my day tour of Chichen Izta we stopped at a hacienda for lunch and a show. My bus partner was Mexican. He seemed to be delighted that we were stopping at the hacienda for lunch. He told me there was a hacienda in his native California that had indoor and outdoor seating. This particular hacienda had an indoor buffet style restaurant. It also had a chapel and a gift shop.
|Artwork Souvenirs at Sun Moon Palace Resort
Tip: Buy souvenirs away from the resort, you will spend less for souvenirs on tours. The souvenirs were much cheaper on the tour than at the Sun Moon Palace Resort. I bought four handkerchiefs for $1. Hat and T- shirts were $5. One of Mexican Tourist from California spent $267 on souvenirs at Chichen Itza alone. He said his wife had given him a list of souvenirs to pick up. I was amazed.
|Students dancing at Hacienda Lunch in Mexico
I sat at the front of the restaurant near the stage so that I could film the students dancing. The young women wore those famous white dresses.
|Town Square of Valladolid, Mexico
After lunch we stopped at Valladolid, Mexico which is a small town that is known for the famous white dresses that the women wear there. There is also more shopping for inexpensive souvenirs.
|Two women proudly wearing those famous white dresses
After I took the photos of the women they wanted a tip. I gave them some Nature's Sunshine Solstice Energy packets because I had spent all my cash on souvenirs. Everybody needs energy right.
|My models for the day in those famous white dresses.
They were very nice about it. They just giggled and went on their merry way.

In our Sept. '12 issue, we introduced you to the concept behind our two-part FRC "refresher course"—specifically, to breathe new life into a '99 hardtop using a coordinated set of aftermarket appearance upgrades. Along with the obvious benefit of rejuvenating a once-proud C5, the project would furnish us with an opportunity to address the topics of paint and bodywork, areas often overlooked when dealing with Chevy's non-rusting, non-denting fiberglass flier.
As noted in our last installment, the figurative cayenne in our aesthetic sauce piquante came in the form of a suite of 'glass body panels from Lewis Five Motorsports. The package included flared front and rear fenders, along with a set of matching splash guards. While our initial test installation revealed the L5 panels to be of unimpeachable quality, they—like all non-factory body components—would need to be tweaked just a bit to match the car prior to the final install.
That left only the matter of paint, an area in which car owner Greg Lovell would brook no dissent: The Vette wore an integument of scorching Torch Red when it left Bowling Green, and so it would in its new incarnation. One gallon of DuPont ChromaBase (as mixed) and another gallon of ChromaClear were selected for the job.
Before we go on, it bears mention that the process of preparing, painting, and installing automotive body components is at least as critical to the final result as is the quality of the parts themselves. With that in mind, we made certain to use someone with extensive experience in the field of Corvette 'glasswork, the better to ensure that our FRC's snazzy new outerwear wasn't rumpled by inexpert execution.
Following Lovell's recommendation, we entrusted the job to Rudy Gonzalez, a paint-and-body man at Plant City, Florida's Stingray Chevrolet who takes on freelance assignments in his off hours. The folks at Stingray were even good enough to let Gonzalez perform the work onsite, using the dealership's pro-quality paint booth and equipment.
While a step-by-step recounting of the process would require more space than we can spare here, we've done our best to show you the major portions. Even in abbreviated form, it's clear that is an undertaking best left to experienced professionals wielding specialized tools within the confines of a purpose-built facility.
With that said, let's take a closer look at what it takes to turn a tired C5 into a dazzling magazine cover car.

The Carroll Foundation Trust and parallel Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland Trust multi-billion dollar corporate identity theft offshore tax fraud bribery case has disclosed that yet another UK Law Society firm has been named in the explosive criminal "standard of proof" prosecution files which are currently "held in custody" at Scotland Yard.
Sources have confirmed that the City of London law firm Penningtons Manches premises were penetrated by the FBI Scotland Yard "targeted" Withersworldwide and Goodman Derrick law firms crime syndicate which removed Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland Trust and Carroll Foundation Trust settlement deeds archival records in what was a bungled attempt to destroy a forensic paper trail leading back to this massive City of London bank fraud heist that stretches the globe.
Further sources have said that the "Penningtons Manches blue file" dossiers contain compelling evidential material which surrounds the fraudulent incorporation of a Withers shadow "criminal parallel trust" that effectively embezzled a bewildering two hundred and fifty million dollars of Gerald Carroll's huge treasury investment holdings which were held the Queen's bankers Coutts & Co and Barclays International.
In a stunning twist it has emerged that the former HM Government Business Secretary Sir Vince Cable MP concealed a voluminous bundle of compelling criminal evidential material in his capacity as the Minister responsible for Companies House and the Insolvency Service. It is been disclosed that Sir Vince and his lawyers Goodman Derrick "conspired" with two High Court Judges in a bungled attempt to liquidate the Carroll Foundation Trust and the underlying Carroll Trust Corporations which continue to be retained "on register" at Companies House.
The disturbing insights into the Gerald Carroll Trusts debacle follows on from British and American media reports on the case which have revealed that major parts of the Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland Trust Gerald J. H. Carroll "life tenant" records were destroyed at the Pinney Talfourd law firm premises "in concert" with Wortley Byers solicitors Brentwood Essex. It is understood that both firms are also facing major allegations of money laundering tax fraud and obstruction in this case spanning three continents.
Scotland Yard leaked sources have said that the Penningtons Manches former senior partner Jane Simpson is continuing to face major allegations of conspiracy to defraud racketeering and offshore tax fraud offences on an industrial scale "centered around" the Manches merger with Asshetons solicitors formerly based at the Aldwych City of London in this major public interest case.

I don't know about you, but I've crashed out in a lot of memorable sleeperies over the years. I slept in the Paris hotel where Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn filmed exterior scenes for Charade; during that same vacation, I stayed at a London hostel with co-ed rooms, a first for me. It was a little startling one night to wake up, see a woman slip naked from the bed next to mine, wrap a towel around herself, and exit to the bathroom.
I once drove to Louisiana with some friends and their dawgs. We stopped along the way at a seedy little motel on the side of I-55 north of Jackson, Miss. I pulled back the bedspread and found a burn hole in the sheets, right next to the cigarette butt that had made it. Creepy. On the other hand, we got ribeye steaks delivered in for dinner, and I don't know many other places in this world that will bring seared ribeyes to your door. The dawgs ate outside.
One thing I've learned, whether it's a roadside joint, a place with live nude girls, or a quaint Parisian hotel, all I need is a place to sleep.
One place I've never stayed is the Hôtel Ritz in Paris, and since rooms start at 550 € a night (about $760 US), I don't think I'll be staying there soon. I could, however, stop at the famous Ritz Bar and have a drink. Ted Haigh (yes, him again) details one such drink in Vintage Spirits (yes, that book again), the Ritz Sidecar. It's a simple drink, really–cognac, Cointreau, and lemon juice, just like a normal Sidecar. What makes it ritzy, though, is the particular cognac. At the time of writing, the barman at the Ritz was using an 1853 E. Remy Martin bottling. Mmmmmmm. The drink costs less than one night's stay in the hotel, although not significantly so, 400 € ($559 US). That physically hurts, so let's look at other options.
Let's call this the Flea Bag Sidecar:
Photograph by Jennifer Hess. Prices that follow come from BevMo.com and may vary based on where you're located.
For this exercise, buy yourself an American brandy. Fuckin' do it. It will lack the subtle richness and full mouthfeel of a good cognac, but you're not sipping it from a snifter, you're mixing it with other stuff. A Sidecar made from American brandy lacks the complexity of one made from cognac, but this post is about going cheap. And having mixed up a couple of these tonight, I just want to say, they're pretty good.
A 1.75L bottle of E&J VSOP will run you $17.99 right now at BevMo. This is a bottle you could club a seal with and it'll cost you less than a Jackson. Not bad. By the way, does E&J ring a bell? No? Maybe Ernest & Julio Gallo will, then.
Cointreau is simply a triple sec, an orange-flavored liqueur made from dried orange peels. It happens to be the best of the triple secs, but it's also probably the most expensive, unless the barman at the Ritz has a bottle from the cellars of Louis XIII. Go down-market with a liter of Hiram Walker for $9.99. You can make a damn lot of Sidecars from these two bottles.
I don't know the national-average price for lemons these days, but you can probably get one for about 50¢.
Jen and I like our Sidecars a little tart, so here's the ratio I like to generally use:
- 1-1/2 oz. brandy
- 3/4 oz. lemon juice
- 1/2 oz. triple sec
Shake over ice, strain into a chilled mixing glass, and smile.
Now let's just go ahead and price this out. It's tricky since the bottles are measured in liters and the recipe's in ounces. I'll do the math for you and keep it all to myself. Since this isn't math class, and you're not Mrs. Abernathy, I don't need to show my work.*
(On an cents-per-ounce basis, the lemon juice is surprisingly the most expensive ingredient here. You might cut corners further and use Realemon or some other soul-crushing bastardization, but then you'd be the sort of person who eats Spam and Velveeta sandwiches, and I wouldn't want to know you.)
So, here's the cost of this Sidecar. Are you ready?
$1.00 US (or .71 €), and that's if you pay retail prices for all ingredients.
*Oh, all right. 1.75 liters (the brandy) equal 59 ounces. 1 liter (the triple sec) is 34 ounces. (Both figures are rounded off.) At $17.99 a bottle for 59 ounces, the brandy costs 30¢ an ounce. The triple sec is about the same, 29¢ an ounce. You'll need just one lemon to get 3/4 oz. of juice, and you'll have a bit of leftover, so you'll use about 40¢ worth of juice.

When the Kings meet the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday at Staples Center, it will be the team's sixth look at a Pacific Division opponent in eight games. And so far Coach Darryl Sutter isn't sure he likes what he sees.
"The division's tough, and every team's good," he said. "And we're trying to hang in there."
The Kings are fifth in the division, but with 20 points they have a better record than all but four teams in the Eastern Conference.
"It is what it is," he said. "We're not even in a playoff spot today and our record is a tad above any time since I've been here. There's good teams that aren't going to make the playoffs. And there's good teams that are going to be bubble teams that could win the Stanley Cup."
The Kings have done well in the Pacific so far, losing just twice in five games. But after Saturday they won't see another division opponent for 15 days.
Special teams
Thursday's win over a weak Buffalo team followed a blueprint the Kings had hoped they would see a lot of this season: a perfect penalty kill, two power-play goals and flawless goaltending from Jonathan Quick.
But the challenge now is to do that again.
"If we'd repeat [that], we'd go 82-0," Sutter deadpanned after Friday's morning skate.
Captain Dustin Brown was a little more hopeful.
"Maybe that's the jump start we needed," he said. "It's about habits, especially with the" penalty kill.
The Kings' penalty kill had given up a score in six consecutive games before Thursday, but they've been solid with the man advantage, scoring six of their last 10 goals on the power play.
"You don't score every game on the power play. It's not about the percentages," Sutter said. "The power play is about scoring big goals."
Injury report
Forward Jarret Stoll, out a week with an upper-body injury, skated hard by himself on a side rink Friday, but the Kings say they won't play him until he's able to practice with the full team. Sutter said defenseman Matt Greene, who is out for undisclosed reasons, and forward Jeff Carter (lower body injury) are not close to returning.
When: 7.
Where: Staples Center.
On the air: TV: FS West. Radio: 1150.
Record vs. Canucks (2012-13): 1-2.
Etc.: Vancouver comes into Staples Center leading the NHL with seven road wins. But the Kings, who head out on a four-game trip after Saturday's contest, have won four of their last five at home. With Thursday's 4-2 victory at San Jose, the Canucks have won six of their last eight games.

I recently came across a design contest to design a recycle bin for Global Inheritance. Global Inheritance is a non-profit that oversees educational and environmental programs at major festivals and events across North America, and the Coachella Music Festival have created TRASHed.
It is always fun and challenging to design for a unique shape or surface. When I saw the shape and the hinge I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Whenever I saw a recycle bin open in the past, I always thought is kind of looked like a Crocodile or Amphibian opening a large mouth. I was lucky that Sculptee comes in a green that was very close to the plastic on the small bin. I used some burlap, a key chain ring, and some grommets to make the sash. Originally I conceived making arms and hands but as I put the piece together the sash idea came to me. I think the sash works better than the arm idea: it adds some texture and extra visual interest.
Here is my creation, "I am a Recycle-tarian," sitting on
my recycle bin at home.
Here is the "Recycle-tarian" with it's mouth open.

French Ready for Next Challenge
Mark French in 2002.
The German philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, famously said, "that which does not destroy us makes us stronger" and for new Hershey Bears head coach, Mark French, that statement could not ring any truer.
After being fired in his only previous professional head coaching job by the Wichita Thunder of the Central Hockey League in December of 2007, and then serving a short stint as a volunteer coach with the Reading Royals of the East Coast Hockey League, French arrived as in Hershey in January of 2008 to begin his job as Bob Woods' assistant coach.
"You find out a lot about yourself in adverse situations. Everybody's a good coach when things are going well and you have great players, but you truly find out a lot about your character and intestinal fortitude when things don't go well," said French.
"I know I've become stronger as a person, and I think that's the biggest thing I've taken from that experience, no matter what the circumstances are, I've been able to overcome it and land on my feet."
French, who played four years of college hockey and graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from Brock University in Canada, receiving the highly regarded "212 Degrees" award each year, presented to the athlete who demonstrates leadership, commitment and excellence on the ice, still benefits from the lessons learned at that institute.
"I think the one thing that going to university and getting a degree, the biggest thing it taught me was how to learn; and the thirst for knowledge, and that's how I've always been as a coach," he reflected. "So, I think that's what it's provided me, always striving to learn a little more."
While it might seem that his degree would benefit him in his dealings with the multiple personalities that comprise a hockey club, French is not so sold on that line of thinking.
"I don't know if there's a direct correlation with the psychology, but I've got a hunger for knowledge and I love the game of hockey and all of the nuances of the game of hockey and I always want to be learning."
After the recently concluded Washington Capitals prospect camp, French said the experience was like his previous ones, with one notable exception.
"I don't think it was much different, but certainly when I got a chance to introduce myself, it's nice to put the head coach title beside it," French said. "That was the only thing that was different, it was just nice to be here for a second year and get comfortable with the players and staff."
Unlike recent affiliations that Hershey has had, which saw them not always reading from the same book, their most recent union with the Capitals has saw the partners not only reading from the same book, but being on the same page. With that happy unison spurning two Calder Cups, French had a simple one word answer, "no", when I asked him if fans should expect a discernable difference in the Bears' style of play now that he has switched roles.
"I think the one nice thing that has been done with Washington and Hershey is that we basically play the same style, and that's dictated by the Caps. So, if there was a change in their philosophy, that would be mirrored in Hershey. Bruce's system has proven to be very successful; we employed it last year in Hershey and were also very successful, so, there's certainly no need to change our style."
French's promotion opened up a spot for an assistant coach; and that position has been filled by Troy Mann, who previously turned down the position in the midst of the 2007-08 season, opening the door for French to join the organization.
"Even prior to me getting the head-coaching job, the whole organization talked about getting him," said French. "Bruce (Boudreau) has a very good relationship with him, Bob (Woods) played with him and I've known him for many years, as has Doug (Yingst, Hershey's General Manager). Bruce probably knows him best, but at the same time everybody knows what values and type of work ethic he brings to the table."
When asked what was his most cherished memory of last year's title run, French, who had answered all of my previous questions with certainty and swiftness, pondered the question for a few seconds before offering up his response.
"After Keith Aucoin scored that empty net goal late in game six. We had scored the three quick (first period) goals and then it was a long wait, where every second seemed like an eternity; and the game still seemed to be very much on the line up until that point, especially when Manitoba made it 3-1. When he scored that goal with just over a minute left, you could really start to bring yourself to enjoy it and reflect."
In French's upcoming first season leading the boys from Chololatetown, Bears fans are hoping that the results will be a mirror image of last year's successful campaign.

Subscribe To Why Hasn't Clark Duke Become The Next Big Comedy Star? Updates
I've already subscribed
Between 2007 and 2011, I was convinced Clark Duke would turn into a star. With a sophistication and a good sense of timing that set him apart from most other chubby comedians and a close friendship and web show with Michael Cera, he seemed poised to morph into an A-list actor. Regardless of what Kick-Ass 2's release this weekend might tell you, however, his career is most definitely spiraling in the wrong direction, and to be honest, I can't figure out why. From Greek to Hot Tub Time Machine, he's been really good every time he's been given a chance. He's even passable in total shit like A Thousand Words, and he has a very similar, time-tested pedigree to others in almost the exact same position who have made it. And yet, he still hasn't.
Back in 2006, Jonah Hill took a small role in the Judd Apatow directed film 40-Year-Old Virgin and turned it into large parts in Accepted and Superbad. Now, he puts his own projects together (like the brilliant 21 Jump Street), toplines movies, has 7 upcoming roles listed on his imdb page and has made us all laugh in films like Cyrus and Get Him To The Greek. Oh yeah, he also got nominated for an Academy Award for Moneyball.
Back in 2007, Ken Jeong took a small role in the Judd Apatow directed film Knocked Up and turned it into larger parts in Role Models and The Hangover, as well as a co-starring slot in the cult classic Community. Now he's the goddamn face of Coke Zero and has been in an incredible number of television shows and movies including but not limited to Despicable Me, Pain & Gain, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, The Goods, Party Down and Pineapple Express. He just released Turbo and moving forward, he'll be featured in both Spy and Norm of the North.
Back in 2007, Clark Duke took a small role in the Judd Apatow produced film Superbad and turned that into larger roles in Sex Drive and Kick-Ass, as well as a co-starring slot on the show Greek. Later, he was able to land a lead in Hot Tub Time Machine, and this past year, he was featured regularly on the final season of The Office. Coupled with work on two yet unreleased films, his resume, from the outside, is similar to the others at various points, but there's just no momentum there at all. There's just the occasional sputter.
The Office sounds really great on paper, but in actuality, he was maybe the 8th lead during his run, sometimes only appearing in a few scenes each week. In addition, he's also releasing A.C.O.D. and Kick-Ass 2 this year, but the former's poster includes 6 names, none of which are his; best case scenario, he's about the fifth lead in thi sweekend's Kick-Ass 2. The Croods also came out this year and is a nice enough project, but supporting voice work isn't really an accurate reflection of true star power. Perhaps worst of all, his recent work in Identity Thief wasn't even credited.
Duke is creative enough with his body that he can play a traditional schmuck or an idiot best friend (like he did in Sex Drive). He's also thoughtful and enough of a mean-spirited dick that he can play a frustrating wannabe intellectual (like he did in Hot Tub Time Machine). He has talent. Perhaps more importantly, he has enough restraint that he's not grating. He doesn't try and suck out every ounce of potential comedy in each line like so many comedians are apt to do. He also doesn't try to bowl over his co-stars. He just goes with the flow, which is why he would work well in a more serious ensemble too. And yet, he has one fucking project coming up on his IMDB.
I'm not saying Duke should be toplining $50 million dollar movies. I'm not saying he should even necessarily be taking the lead in indie dramas, but he should certainly be working on a regular basis. People need to start hiring him.

Marktully2 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 109 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
DigitalLesson.com is a website that sells downloads of math lessons, projects, and games to middle school math teachers. We also have a newsletter and want to be a resource and gathering point for middle school math teachers.
DigitalLesson.com has been around since 2004. You can visit the website to see my current design and get an idea about the feel of the site.
You can also visit http://www.entrepreneurincomestreams.com to see the Wordpress version of the website that I am in the process of creating.
I will use the logo on a new header for the Wordpress site, as well as on actual digital products to be delivered, eBook covers, etc.
My target audience is middle school math teachers who would like to find valuable math lessons, projects, games, etc. online to download.
The logo should have some sort of picture component and the words DigitalLesson.com. The graphic should include a mathematics component but also focus on the digital delivery of products for teachers. The slogan "Powerful Middle School Math Activities" can be worked in if it fits with your concept. It would be nice to see the logo with and without the slogan.
The math activities travel from the computer to teachers around the country and even the world. Then teachers print them and use them in their classrooms.

Kim and Mike Bossley are nothing if not survivors. Acts of God. Acts of man. An ever-changing business environment. Bring it on.
Or not. They could probably use a more peaceful 2014 after the year they had last year.
KMG Industrial Screening & Metal Finishing is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this month and the six-month anniversary of when the St. Vrain River overflowed its banks and invaded their Boston Avenue shop.
The couple's business is a combination of screen printing — T-shirts for consumers and industrial cases for commercial customers — and "anodyzing" — covering metal objects with various types of protective or decorative coating.
It had been a normal, if not rainy, Thursday morning last September when, "We got the order to get out. We got the reverse-911 call," according to Kim Bossley.
She said out of instinct, she started grabbing the computers and putting them on shelves. The hazmat team soon arrived, aware of the harsh chemicals KMG uses in its day to day operations. But they weren't there more than a couple minutes before the water started coming down Boston.
The couple was allowed to get to higher ground while the water flowed down the street, but knew by the amount of water that their business was getting hammered.
"We lost two full bays of screen printing equipment," Kim Bossley said. "We lost the T-shirt press, screens, printers.
"After the flood we got in and everything was floating. And all of the mud was clogging the screens. They're made of silk, and all the mud was just sticking in them."
The screens cost between $45 and $60, she said, and they were a total loss as the company had no flood insurance.
"I'd say 90 percent of them (dozens and dozens) were lost," said Mike Bossley. "They were in the mud under two feet of water."
Fortunately, the plating and metal finishing side of the business was not as badly damaged. Still, they decided to move rather than restart their business in that location. They found a space at 1331 Sherman Drive with the help of the city and the Longmont Area Economic Council, Kim Bossley said.
But their trials weren't finished yet.
"We were in the process of moving here," she said. "We shut down the shop the second week of October to do the move."
But their chilling unit, a critical piece to their operations for which they had to rent a semi to have moved to their new building, got ransacked one night before they were even back in business. Someone ripped the cover off and stole all the copper wire out of it.
"They got $42 worth of copper," Kim Bossley said. "That's what the police report said."
The thieves returned the next night and stole the condenser out of the unit.
"It was very depressing — with the flood and the moving," Mike Bossley said.
Added Kim, "We were anticipating only being down two weeks; we ended up being down eight."
Luckily insurance did cover the cost of a new chilling unit. It was also fortunate that during the flood none of the toxic chemicals were mixed into the flood waters. The water crept up the side of the containment tanks but stopped short of overflowing them.
And with all of the damage to the screen printing side of the business, the couple estimates that about 90 to 95 percent of their business is now the metal plating side of it.
They're not back up to their pre-flood revenue, they say, but they're getting there.
"We had a lot of customers who really stepped up when we needed it," Kim Bossley said.
The company's customer base includes some huge companies, such as Ball Aerospace and Lockheed, but Kim Bossley wanted to single out Hirsch Precision Machinery as one of her most supportive. They've been there since the very beginning and continue to be a strong customers 10 years later.
KMG Plating was formed by Kim (then McGuire) in 2004. She had learned the business working in her dad's machine shop and ended up buying him out.
That same year Kim bought out Precision Silk Screening Co. in Longmont, a 25-year-old business. And in 2007 she bought out neighboring screen printing business NEO Graphics. She later consolidated the three businesses under the one name she has today.
Kim and Mike got married in 2009; he had been working at the company for a couple years before that. He's the company's plating manager and vice president.
There's one other reason why Kim Bossley counts herself as one of the lucky ones, she said. The very day of the flood, she got a call from her doctor saying she had been accepted into a clinical trial for an experimental drug to treat Hepatitis C — Stage 4 liver failure, a life-threatening disease she had been battling.
Six months later, she wrote in an email, "I am happy to report that ... I am showing no signs of HCV in my body."
