The current SPC installer is broken, a new one is being worked on which will be out in a few weeks (hopefully)
New installation instructions, below.
Many other things
How to install (Minecraft 1.6.2)
1. Close Minecraft launcher (if open)
2. Navigate to where minecraft is installed (eg: on Windows %appdata%/.minecraft)
3. Go to versions and copy the 1.6.2 directory and name it something else (eg: 1.6.2.mods). Alternatively, if you have done this for another mod already backup the Minecraft JAR.
4. Open the jar file (using an archive utility, such as 7zip) in the mod directory you created (eg: 1.6.2.jar) and copy all of the files into it except for WorldEdit.jar
5. Delete the files in the META-INF directory except for MANIFEST.MF
6. Close the jar file
7. Copy WorldEdit.jar into .minecraft/bin
8. Rename the jar file to the same name as the directory (eg: 1.6.2.mods.jar)
9. Rename the json file to the same name as the directory (eg: 1.6.2.mods.json)
10. Open the json file in a text editor and the line that contains the id (eg: "id": "1.6.2") change it to the same name as the directory (eg: "id": "1.6.2.mods")
11. Save and close the json file.
12. Start up the Minecraft launcher
13. Create a new profile
14. Select the version that you just created (eg: 1.6.2.mods)
15. Select the rest of your settings.
16. Launch the game.
Note: Using a 3rd party launcher such as Magic Launcher may save you a lot of time in managing mods.

Periodically I will put up a picture and video which I think are good representations as to what Single Player Commands is capable of. If you would like to get your picture or video featured here please send me a link (via PM or post) and if I like them they will get featured.
Note: Videos should focus on SPC and can be any length (preferably at least 30 seconds)

[size=large]Manual Installation (Minecraft 1.6 and above)[/size]
1. Close Minecraft launcher (if open)
2. Navigate to where minecraft is installed (eg: on Windows %appdata%/.minecraft)
3. Go to versions and copy the version directory (eg: 1.6.2) and name it something else (eg: 1.6.2.mods). Alternatively, if you have done this for another mod already backup the Minecraft version.
4. Open the jar file (using an archive utility, such as 7zip) in the mod directory you created (eg: 1.6.2.jar) and copy all of the files into it except for WorldEdit.jar
5. Delete the files in the META-INF directory except for MANIFEST.MF
6. Close the jar file
7. Copy WorldEdit.jar into .minecraft/bin
8. Rename the jar file to the same name as the directory (eg: 1.6.2.mods.jar)
9. Rename the json file to the same name as the directory (eg: 1.6.2.mods.json)
10. Open the json file in a text editor and the line that contains the id (eg: "id": "1.6.2") change it to the same name as the directory (eg: "id": "1.6.2.mods")
11. Save and close the json file.
12. Start up the Minecraft launcher
13. Create a new profile
14. Select the version that you just created (eg: 1.6.2.mods)
15. Select the rest of your settings.
16. Launch the game using this profile.
Note: Using a 3rd party launcher such as Magic Launcher may save you a lot of time in managing mods.
[size=large]Automated Installation (Minecraft 1.5 and below)[/size]
1. Double click the .JAR file to run it. Note that if double clicking the file doesn't open it you can also run it from command line/console/terminal as described below:
Method 1 (Windows):
-Right-click JAR
-Open with 'Java Platform'
Method 2:
-Open command line (Windows) /console (Unix/Linux) /terminal (MAC)
-Navigate to where the installer is, for example it might be:
cd C:\Users\Example\My Documents\Downloads
-Type in the following: java -cp <DOWNLOADNAME> com.sijobe.installer.Installer
Where <DOWNLOADNAME> is the name of the .JAR file, ie: SinglePlayerCommandsV2.11.jar
2. Once the installation screen is up verify that the filepath that is displayed is
pointing to where Minecraft is installed.
3. Click the Install button and the installation will start, a popup message will
appear when the installation is finished.
Backup MCJAR - Allows you to backup the Minecraft.jar at the click of a button
Backup Worlds - Allows you to backup all your worlds at a click of a button
Note: Both backup methods put the backups into, .minecraft/backups
[size=large]Manual Installation (Minecraft 1.5 and below)[/size]
1. Go to the ".minecraft/bin" directory (start; run; then typing %appdata%\.minecraft\bin works) and backup the minecraft.jar
2. Using 7zip or equally capable archive viewer open minecraft.jar
3. Delete the META-INF folder (if on a MAC *only* delete the Mojang_c files)
4. Drag and drop the "com" folder and all *.class files contained within the mod to the minecraft.jar (Caution: don't drop them in a folder inside the minecraft.jar).
5. Close the minecraft.jar
6. Copy ALL the ".jar" files contained within the mod to the ".minecraft/bin" directory (the same directory as minecraft.jar). This means copy the WorldEdit.jar into the ".minecraft/bin" NOT into the Minecraft.jar
7. Enjoy the mod.

If after installing this mod you get a black screen or stuck at done loading. There are four common problems for this, please double check all of these before posting a problem about a black screen:
1. META-INF wasn't deleted.
2. You have a conflicting mod installed.
3. You are using the browser version of Minecraft, only the standalone version works.
4. You installed the mod on the wrong version of Minecraft.
You're on a Mac - Many Macs can't handle Java files compiled in 1.6.X. Try this guide to get mods compiled in Java build 1.6.X to run under a Mac or this video. If the first links don't work or aren't applicable try this.
Game black screens while loading - You forgot to delete META-INF or you left out some class files. Double check that you've got all the class files from the mod by redownloading the latest version and dragging all class files over to minecraft.jar.
Chat Window doesn't show up - Check that the SPC welcome message appears when you start a World, if it doesn't you haven't installed the mod correctly. Make sure all .class files in the mod are put into Minecraft.jar. Otherwise post in this thread.

We Will Rock You
Time Out says
Problems with Ben Elton's conversion of Queen's back catalogue into a theatrical production? 'We Will Rock You's depiction of a dystopian future where live music is banned rails against the corporatisation of music like a crusty hippy in John Lewis. Yet during the interval, the tannoys blare out: 'Ladies and gentleman, the "We Will Rock You" finale is guaranteed to blow your mind! So get your glowsticks now!'.
Agit-prop tirades against the soullessness of the state's enforced formation dancing are used to paint the rock-star wannabe of a lead (called Galileo Figaro, obviously) as a futuristic Che Guevara. But upon the discovery that rock'n'roll offers untrammelled freedom of expression, he prances about like one of Britney's backing dancers.
At points, 'We Will Rock You' gets so worked up about the cultural impact of 'X Factor' et al that you wonder if the audience might be sent out to bring back Simon Cowell's head on a plate. Yet the production happily employs 'X Factor' ejectee Brenda Edwards as one of the leads. And while it's box-tickingly keen to include a (clunky) feminist female lead, they patronisingly explain her existential malaise as being a lack of 'Somebody to LURRRVE'.
But why would 'We Will Rock You' be a credible work of theatre? After all, Queen's brand image was so arch that they could've starred in their own 'Carry On' film. So never mind the clunky song intros ('What do I want? I want TO BRAAYYYYK FREEEEE!') and sexual innuendo ('You are an eager beaver.' 'You leave my eager beaver out of this!', etc). It SHOULD be daft. And ultimately, the main draw is a punchy soundsystem ringing to the katana-sharp live renditions of the band's material, although it's a bit of a shame that Freddie's lyrics are occasionally tinkered with for plot purposes. As is the underwhelmingly reserved atmosphere created by a tourist-heavy audience. Queen fans with a sense of humour won't be disappointed. Theatre fans may want to look elsewhere.

You say that Danish Dough is a laminated dough. What precisely does that mean?
According to Baking911.com, "Laminated Dough" is made by encasing butter in dough, and taking it through a series of folds, rolling and turns to produce layers of butter in between sheets of dough. The leavening in these doughs is mainly derived from the steam generated by the moisture from the butter--the laminated fat traps water vapor and carbon dioxide formed during baking, and as steam expands in the oven, it lifts and separates the individual layers.
Additionally, as smart and cute Cakespy reader E-Dizzle clarifies:
There are three basic laminated doughs: Puff pastry has no yeast, and is used to make yummy things like palmiers, cheese twists and any sort of super-flaky tart or crust. The dough itself isn't sweet, so it can be used for sweet or savory pastries.
Croissant dough and danish dough are very similar, both containing yeast. But croissant doughs are considered very "lean" (crazy, I know) because the detrempe (which I just call "the doughy bit") has only flour, salt, water and yeast. Danish dough, however, is considered "rich" because it contains eggs and dairy, and sometimes sugar.
If they were to have a faceoff, which would win--puff pastry or danish dough?
Really, would you ask us to choose between a flaky puff pastry or a delicious Danish? Apples and oranges, we tell you. Surely here's enough room in the world for all sorts of dough. Vive le carbohydrate!
What are some examples of pastries made with Danish Dough?
Well, the Danish, naturally--but pinwheels, envelopes and turnovers are frequently made using this type of dough. Also, though not always, a lot of kolache recipes call for a Danish-y dough.
Can puff pastry and Danish Dough be used interchangeably?
Why does it take so long to make my own dough?

Car yards proved to be one of the more resilient segments of the retail sector last year, according to figures compiled by the Motor Trade Association, with sales of new vehicles topping 100,000 units for only the third time since 1989.
With 100,795 new passenger cars and commercial vehicles sold, sales were 19 per cent up on 2011. New car sales reached their highest level in five years, with 76,871 vehicles sold - a 20 per cent rise, the MTA said.
Spokesman Ian Stronach said the growth last year was off a low base following the global financial crisis, but business had been much stronger than anyone in the industry had expected.
"Forecast growth predictions were easily exceeded, with most segments and the majority of distributors all sharing in the strengthening market."
He said car buyers had been benefiting from the strong Kiwi dollar - which was helping keep retail car prices down - and consumer confidence was being bolstered by rising house prices in many areas.
The entrance of new brands, particularly from China, had helped keep the market competitive, Stronach said.
But although buyers had more makes and models to choose from than ever before, he said the overall rate of new vehicle sales was still well behind that of Australia and the United States, which sell new vehicles at double the rate of this country.
The MTA said new car sales were dominated by Toyota, with the Japanese firm's new Corolla model helping propel the brand's sales to 21,620 units in 2012, giving it a 21 per cent share of the market. Ford was in second place with sales of 11,132 units, giving it an 11 per cent market share, while third place went to Holden with sales of 9,446 units and a 9 per cent share.
Used car sales were down 3 per cent on 2011 at 78,311 units last year, but this was ahead of expectations.
Stronach said the used car market had been affected by new exhaust emissions standards, which had reduced the available pool of vehicles that could be imported from Japan.

A man's proposal on the Brooklyn Bridge went horribly wrong, but not because his girlfriend said no. He accidentally dropped the ring, which fell through a crack on the pedestrian bridge and into traffic below.
Don Walling planned to ask Gina Pellicani to marry him as his family looked on and her sister videotaped it. "I got on one knee, proposed and it just flew out," Walling said. "I watched it fall through the crack on the bridge, right between the wood planks." Walling kissed Pellicani and told her he was going to get the ring back. He ran into the road below and with his family shouting directions from above, managed to find the ring. The band was bent but the ring can be repaired. "He'll never disappoint our daughter, that's for sure," said Mary Pellicani, mother of the bride. "He'll obviously jump off bridges for her." [MSNBC, KSHB-TV]

Keith Wilson is the only high school teacher in the county who shows his students the finer points for breaking into someone's house.
Wilson readily admits that forcible entry is a bad thing in most law enforcement circles.
But James Rowell, Adam Medlin and Preston Davis have no intention of using those skills for a life of crime or an unwanted midnight encounter with Davis' dad, Lancaster Police Dept. Lt. Duane Davis.
The city of Lancaster's push to save paper and plastics from the landfills has caught on throughout the county.
Marty Cauthen, the city's solid waste director, spoke at City Council's meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9, about six schools asking if the city can provide them with recycling containers and pick-up service.
The schools are Andrew Jackson Middle, Andrew Jackson High, Clinton Elementary, Heath Springs Elementary, Indian Land High and McDonald Green Elementary.
PAGELAND – Two Lancaster residents caused a lot of disruption in Pageland over the weekend of Sept. 29 and have now been charged for it.
Chastity Marie Leach, 26, 2076 Old Camden Monroe Highway and Johnny Ray Pyatt, 35, 2345 Doc Holliday Circle, were arrested for 19 various counts, including shoplifting, property damage and motor vehicle theft over the span of three days (Sept. 29 to Oct. 1).
The Lancaster County Farmers Market held its annual Public Services Honors Festival on Saturday, Oct. 6. The event was designed both to educate young people on local agriculture and locally grown produce while paying tribute to service agencies in the county.
This was the second year of the festival. Event organizer Robert Steele, chairman of the Lancaster County Farmers Commission, said he was pleased with this year's response.
Lancaster County Council members shot down a rezoning request by an Indian Land nonprofit that would have allowed it to build a no-kill animal shelter.
The action came during a meeting in which council members also approved a fee-in-lieu-of-taxes deal for a company looking to settle elsewhere in Lancaster County.
Three of the seven seats on Lancaster City Council are up for election this year.
Incumbent Linda Blackmon-Brace and Jackie Harris are vying for District 3. Jean Cureton and incumbent Tamara Green Garris are looking to best the other candidate for the District 4 seat, while Sara Eddins is unopposed as she seeks re-election to District 6.
City Council members, who serve four-year terms, don't run along party lines.
District 3
There is a very private side of HOPE in Lancaster that few get to see.
It usually happens just after 11:30 a.m. each weekday when the front doors get locked and volunteers have a chance to collect their thoughts, said HOPE in Lancaster Executive Director Elaine Adkins.
When those doors are closed and no one is around, Adkins said the tears inevitably flow.
A faith-based, nonprofit volunteer-driven organization, HOPE in Lancaster is known for providing short-term emergency assistance for those in crisis.
Traces of DNA collected at the scenes of several burglaries and larcenies just north of Lancaster in May resulted in arrest warrants issued this week for a Monroe, N.C., man.
Authorities are searching for Lucas Wayne Pate, 21, on several charges, including three counts of second-degree burglary, three counts of larceny/breaking into a motor vehicle and two counts of damaging or tampering with a vehicle, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office press release.
In addition to voters' right to choose their political representatives during an election, most states, including South Carolina, offer an even more direct form of democracy known as a ballot measure.
Such measures, whether binding or non-binding, offer voters a chance to voice their opinions directly on a range of issues from constitutional amendments to questions about special local taxes.
Lancaster City Councilwoman Linda Blackmon-Brace addressed a photograph submitted to The Lancaster News this week showing her car parked in a handicapped space.
A resident, who asked to remain anonymous, brought the picture to the newspaper office about 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3.
The photo shows a burgundy four-door Cadillac parked in a handicapped space at the County Administration Building on the White Street side. The car has a Blackmon-Brace campaign sign on its side.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is set to step up his summer recruitment drive after a deal was agreed with Barcelona for "fantastic" Chile international Alexis Sanchez.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder completed his medical in London on Thursday, the two clubs reported to have agreed a deal in the region of £30million, and will join up with his new team-mates at the end of July after spending some time on holiday following the World Cup.
Arsenal are also expecting to imminently close a £10m transfer of France defender Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle, with Atletico Madrid right-back Javier Manquillo another reported target.
Press Association Sport understands a defensive midfielder is also on Wenger's wanted list. Arsenal have been linked with both Bayer Leverkusen's Lars Bender and fellow Germany international Sami Khedira, although his reported high wage demands could derail any potential deal.
There is no doubt, however, that bringing in Sanchez - who also had interest from Liverpool and Juventus - will present something of a personal coup for Wenger.
The Gunners boss is understood to have spoken to the player face to face while working for French television at the World Cup in Brazil, convincing him Arsenal was the right place to further his career.
''As many people have seen during the World Cup this summer, Alexis is a fantastic footballer and we are delighted that he is joining us at Arsenal,'' Wenger said on the club's official website.
''Alexis will add power, creativity and much quality to our squad and we are all looking forward to him joining up with us in a few weeks.
''He has consistently produced top-quality performances at the highest level for a number of seasons now and we are all excited to see him integrate into the Arsenal squad."
Sanchez helped Barcelona win the 2013 Primera Division title and is expected to feature in the Emirates Cup at the start of August.
The Chile international, who helped his side reach the last 16 at the World Cup before losing on penalties to hosts Brazil, is relishing the new challenge.
''I am so happy to be joining Arsenal - a club which has a great manager, a fantastic squad of players, huge support around the world and a great stadium in London,'' Sanchez said.
''I am looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and to be playing for Arsenal in the Premier League and Champions League. I will give my best to Arsenal and want to make all the supporters happy.''
Arsenal know they must continue to work on bringing in other reinforcements if the FA Cup winners are to mount along-overdue sustained assault on the Barclays Premier League title, having been clear at the top in January only to fade away and finish fourth.
While Debuchy will represent a Premier League-ready replacement for Bacary Sagna, who left on a free transfer to Manchester City, there is also need to sign at least one goalkeeper after number two Lukasz Fabianski joined Swansea following his last appearance at Wembley.
Wenger will return to Arsenal's Hertfordshire base after the World Cup final, ahead of a trip to New York at the end of the month, where the Gunners will tackle former captain Thierry Henry's Red Bulls.
After games against Benfica and Monaco at the Emirates Cup, Arsenal then return to Wembley to take on Manchester City in the FA Community Shield on August 10, before starting the new Premier League campaign at home to Crystal Palace the following weekend.

India's Janadesh 2007
Protest marches are no rare occurrence in India. Since Mohandas Gandhi added the padyatra (foot march) to his repertoire of nonviolent tools with the 1930 Salt March to Dandi, leaders and activists across the world's most populous democracy have used long marches to draw attention to their causes.As a result, Indian politicians are used to this sort of mass action, and the sight of 25,000 people walking, even along the country's national highway, is not so remarkable. In an atmosphere of political indifference, little seems to change for the most marginalized in this country.
Would Janadesh 2007 be any different, I wondered, as my feet joined the march? Years in the planning, Janadesh ("the people's verdict") was conceived to bring unresolved land rights issues to the attention of the national government. Organized by the NGO and social movement Ekta Parishad (Unity Forum) and led by long-time Gandhian activist P.V. Rajgopal, Janadesh 2007 roused 25,000 landless peasants, members of indigenous groups, and marginalized farmers to pressure the government into undertaking land reform.
Janadesh 2007 began at Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, on October 2, and promptly vanished into the cloud of good intentions and general hype that marked that date, the anniversary of Gandhi's birth. As thousands of Dalits (groups once called outcastes or untouchables) and adivasi (tribal peoples) gathered for the month-long march to the capital, a national bank advertised its promise to bring "banking to the people" in Gandhi's spirit. Despite India's recent economic boom, wages often fall below the legal minimum, underemployment is the norm, and rural poverty is rife. As I looked at the front page advertisement, I considered the irony: 30 percent of India's population have nothing to bank.

Name: Kirk
Gender: Male
Location: Belfast
I think my dad is sexy and want to fuck him but am scared to ask! I also fancy my best friend and every time he stays over with me I fantasize sucking his cock and fucking him hard what do I do?
My you're a randy little bugger, huh Kirk? I see you didn't include your age when you wrote me. so I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess you're still a lad.
First off, I want to direct your attention to the advice I gave a young man named Jaymie earlier this month. You will find that column HERE! I want you to read this because my words to him apply to you as well. Particularly in terms of your desire to suck your best friend's cock and fucking him hard. You're such a charmer!
Second, you should know that you follow in a very long line of gay men who have and do fantasize about boning their hunky dads. This is all very natural and it provides a wealth of extremely tantalizing mental material for our wank sessions. And that, my friend, is where this oughta stay.
Incest, and that's what we're talking about, is taboo. And it's taboo for several really good reasons. The most devastating thing about incest is the secrecy that must surround it. No one violates this universal taboo in the open. The secrecy and the inevitable shame and guilt when found out will, sure as shootin', destroy a family dynamic. Your old man will know this even if you haven't grasped this yet yourself.
At the same time, it would be foolish to deny that sexual and erotic tensions often swirl around a family dynamic. It's unavoidable. A father's love for his children, a mother's love for her children can and sometimes does develop an erotic component. A son's love for his parents, a daughter's love for her parents can morph into a powerful sexual desire. But like I said, crossing the line from longing to actuality is a loaded gun aimed at the heart of the family. Your dad's parental responsibilities to you must trump any eroticism he may have toward you. You, on the other hand, have a responsibility to your father not make his job any more difficult than it is.
Here's the thing, part of being a parent to a teenager is acknowledging and allowing for the teen to practice his or her seduction skills inside the family unit. Girls harmlessly flirt with their fathers and compete with their mothers. Boys harmlessly flirt with their mothers and compete with their fathers. And sometimes this happens toward the same-sex parent too — boys toward their fathers and girls toward their mothers. The adults need to take all of this in stride. They have to believe the flirtation is harmless so they can provide their children with the proper non-seductive environment for their maturation to occur. If the flirting crosses the line into full-on, for real seduction the unspoken agreement between parents and children is shattered. And there will be hell to pay.
The same is true in the reverse. A child must have the confidence that as they mature and develop their sexual identity, they will not unwittingly become the object of their parent's seduction or worse their predation.
Of course, Kirk, there's the distinct possibility that your old man doesn't share your sexual predilections. And coming on to him could easily destroy whatever bond you may share. In fact, your disclosure could easily backfire into a violent response. Your dad could easily knock your block off.
Here's a tip: if you absolutely must confess or confide your attraction, save it for when you are old enough to have moved out of your parent's house. That way some of the sting will have gone out of revelation because the family dynamic will have changed. But you can be sure the awkwardness will continue.
Good luck

We like mussels at our house.... a budget-conscious and delicious buy from Monterey Fish. Plus the quick prep makes for an easy dinner. At home in California, foraging for Mussels is a no-no. Quarantine signs warn of contamination and unhealthy waters.
For the first time in my life, we got to harvest our own mussels off the shore! We were recently in Golden Bay, New Zealand - tucked into the lightly populated shores on the gorgeous South Island, the waters are clean and harvesting seafood from the beaches is just fine.
We heard that the tides were low at ten am, so off we set with a few buckets in hand. Within 15 minutes we had plenty of mussels to cook up.
In trying to keep our meal as simple and local as possible, we threw together an easy spaghetti with mussels. We borrowed a few spices from our neighbor, harvested some herbs from the garden there, then walked to the nearby market and bought some New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, local onions, butter, olive oil, sea salt, and pasta.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pounds mussels
- 1 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 5 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder
- 1/4 cup cream
- 5 sprigs thyme
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, warmed
- fresh ground pepper
- sea salt
- handful of chopped parsley and/or parsley blossoms if available
- 1 pound spaghetti or linguine
Clean and de-beard mussels. (Our harvested mussels took a lot more prep than the ones we buy at Monterey Fish. Paul scrubbed a multitude of barnacles from the shells. He gave the mussels numerous baths in fresh water. Then he and Lilah removed the beards.)
Start to heat a large stock pot of water for cooking pasta.
Warm 4-6 low soup bowls.
Get another large pot ready in which to cook the mussels. Melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, chili, and fennel seeds. Cook for just a few minutes until garlic is tender.
(Put pasta on to cook. Strain when done and put equal servings into 4-6 warmed low/soup bowls.)
Add white wine to the mussel pot and simmer for about 6 -8 minutes until reduced by half.
Add mussels and thyme sprigs to the pot. Cover. Steam for about 5 minutes until mussels have opened. Remove mussels with a slotted spoon.
Put an equal amount of mussels on top of each serving of pasta.
Quickly strain mussel cooking liquid. Combine 1 cup of cooking liquid with 1/4 cup of warm heavy cream. ( Save the extra cooking liquid as stock for your next risotto or seafood stew.) Whisk cream to blend and add salt and pepper to taste. (Note that freshly harvested mussels can be quite salty and don't need much/if any added salt.)
Distribute the sauce evenly over each bowl of pasta and mussels. Generously sprinkle fresh herbs/blossoms and plenty of fresh ground pepper. Eat and enjoy!
serves 4 as main/ 6 as appetizer

AB 1616, the California Homemade Food Act, was signed into law by Governor Brown on September 21, 2012 and will become effective on January 1, 2013. This new law will allow certain foods, known as Cottage Foods, to be made in private homes and sold to the public. Individuals who own and run these home-based businesses will be known as Cottage Food Operators (CFOs).
Starting the application process for your Cottage Food Operation:
It is exciting to start your own food business in the comfort of your home. The first thing for you to decide is what cottage food you will be selling and how you will sell the food. The following information will help you decide the class of Cottage Food Operation (CFO) that suits your business and what you have to do to qualify as a CFO with the local Health Department.
You can use the home's kitchen for the preparation, packaging, storage, or handling of cottage food products, as well as the ingredients and equipment that you use to make these products. Attached rooms within the home are to be used only for storage.
As a CFO business, you are allowed to prepare only non-potentially hazardous foods in the home you live in. The food you wish to prepare must be listed on the State's approved list of food products, provided below. You are allowed to sell the food you prepared to the public, either directly or indirectly. How you decide to sell the cottage food will determine the class of CFO and the application process you will need to follow.
Class A Cottage Food Operators
A "Class A" CFO can only sell cottage foods directly to the consumer and
is required to register with Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and submit a "self-certification compliance checklist". Direct sales can be made:
Click below to get started!
Class B Cottage Food Operators
A "Class B" CFO can sell cottage foods directly to the consumer, as with Class A
and may also sell
indirectly to consumers within Los Angeles County. A "Class B" CFO is required to
register and obtain a permit from Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
A permit is issued only after our inspection has verified that your home kitchen meets requirements. In addition to direct sales, indirect sales can be made to:

How much does it cost to become a CFO in Los Angeles County?
Effective August 8, 2013, new fees for Cottage Food Operator Registrations and Permits will be implemented, as approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on July 9, 2013. All Cottage Food Operator Class A applications received beginning 8-9-2013 must include the new fees indicated below. Cottage Food Operator Class B applications will be received without a fee, however payment is required prior to issuance of the Permit.

A 19-year-old Lancaster man was shot in the leg Thursday evening in what he told Lancaster Police was a drive-by shooting.
The man was walking on Willowlake Road between 6:15 and 6:30 p.m. Thursday when a white vehicle with tinted windows drove toward him from the opposite direction, according to an incident report.
He told police that as the vehicle passed, he heard three shots and realized that he had been struck in the leg, the report said.
The vehicle turned left onto Arch Street heading east.

A woman pulled from the rubble of the Washington mudslide along with her infant son is starting to recover physically from her ordeal after six surgeries, but she and her doctor acknowledged Wednesday that the emotional healing will take a very long time.
Certain sounds bring Amanda Skorjanc, 25, right back to March 22, when a river of mud and debris wiped out her Oso neighborhood and killed at least 35 people.
"If the wind blows too hard. If someone is pushing a bed past me, and it rumbles the floor a bit. It brings back the same sight over and over again," Skorjanc said Wednesday in her first interview since the massive mudslide. She spoke at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle to a pool of reporters from The Daily Herald, KOMO-TV and KIRO Radio.
Skorjanc was sitting with her son that Saturday morning watching videos when the lights in her home started to shake and blink. She looked out the door and, like in a movie, saw houses "exploding" from the force of the slide.
The neighbor's chimney was coming toward her. She held her son tightly and turned away from the door.
"I held onto that baby like it was the only purpose that I had," Skorjanc said. "I did not let that baby go for one second."
When the earth stopped moving, Skorjanc was trapped in a pocket formed by her broken couch and pieces of her roof. Skorjanc said she called out to God to save them and prayed rescuers would arrive quickly and find them.
"I started to hear sirens — the most amazing sound I ever heard," she said.
Skorjanc remembers hearing the voices of several men coming to her aid. She had two broken legs and a broken arm. The men lifted her son from her arms and then cut her from the debris.
"I had my eyes closed," Skorjanc remembers. "I didn't want to see what was going on. I was scared and in so much pain."
One of her ankles was crushed and might not recover fully. She also suffered injuries to her face, including an eye socket. Her doctor said she will need to be off her feet for another 10 weeks, then likely will struggle to start walking again.
Skorjanc said she considered Oso home, although she grew up in Indiana and has lived in Washington for just the past two years. But she has no plans to return to the rural community 55 miles northeast of Seattle, not even for a visit.
She said she struggles with guilt daily, because she has her family — including her partner, Ty Suddarth, the father of her child — and others who lived in Oso don't. Suddarth had left the house to run an errand when the mudslide hit.
Dr. Daphe Beinggessner, a University of Washington orthopedic surgeon, operated on Skorjanc three times and estimated her physical injuries will take a year or more to heal.
She added that the recovery of Skorjanc's son, Duke Suddarth, seems to be really making a difference in the young mother's improvement: "As he's been getting better, she's been getting better."
Skorjanc said she will work hard to get better to be there for her son, who is being treated at Seattle Children's Hospital. "He's my motivation."
The rest of her energy will go toward giving back to the community.
"I'm so overwhelmed with the amount of love and support we get every day," Skorjanc said. "We will pay it forward for the rest of our lives."

In Tour De France 100, Richard Moore celebrates 100 editions of the Tour de France with some stunning images from the race's history, some classic, some rarely seen.
I must admit my heart sank a little when Tour De France 100 by Richard Moore was eased off the postie's aching shoulder to be signed for. Nothing to do with Moore's work. He's an excellent and very knowledgeable sports writer. It's just the cover. I'd seen the book online and the cover is a horizontal split between a beautiful and classic black and white image of a line of riders in the mountains and one of those god awful modern blurred grimacing frontal sprints - the long lens 'press 'n' pray' snap so adored by lazy sports editors since the advent of long lenses and auto focus in the late 1980's. Combined with a back cover grid of riders from across the eras the cover as a whole reminds me of one of those remaindered books you see in bargain bins with red stickers on. Whoever it was at Bloomsbury who decided on the cover should be taken out and shot.
Fortunately, inside the cover, all is well. Moore's skill in combining fine images and serious text establishes the book far above a general public anniversary cash-in. Separated into 12 chapters each covering roughly 7 years (allowing for the world wars) Moore neatly focuses on each era and its stars and the changes the race itself undergoes to become the event but is today. He deals with Armstrong, Pantani and EPO and dips back into the Delgado affair before the dominoes are stopped in their topple by the wall that is Big Mig.
Partial histories of potential doping aside Tour De France 100 is a good book. Moore's had access to L'Equipe and Getty's large Picture Post and Hulton archive to choose some of the best images from the first 70 years of the tour and he's taken full advantage of the riches on offer. He weaves the triumphs and tragedies around them with energy.
Much of the photography is truly superb. We're used to seeing grainy shots of poor wretches in sweaters with tyres wrapped around each armpit, but on this occasion the print quality is so clean and many of Moore's image choices so new you turn pages and find an almost three dimensional quality; the sweat runnels on riders faces, those wonderful bikes with their metal placard numbers and dusty sunlit streets from the 1930s so clear you can almost identify produce in shop windows. Even for Tour de France history buffs this is a treat.
The dimensions of the book bring out the details superbly - something we're no longer used to with pixel screens. With many of the images A4 and larger you can drink in the detail of spectators' faces and fashion. How did western civilisation ever reach the point when it now considers sweat pants and nylon football shirts to be more comfortable and stylish than generous suit trousers with button braces, white shirt and tilted fedora? I don't know where it all went wrong but it's time to introduce smart comfy retro wear again for spectators and make it a UCI ruling.
It's also a treat to see some of the work of Bert Hardy. Hardy was Picture Post's best photographer in the 1950s and his skill with light and positioning often gives his work an almost ethereal glow. If you had to choose a single photograph that encapsulates the Tour de France his image on page 77 would be a good choice. Three riders plugging away up a mountain climb almost into camera, sun broiling the shoulders, faces lit by the glare from the dusty white pebble track and a long zig zag of conquered road dropping away behind them.
Moore has found fresh images for the more modern era too. Hinault actually smiling as he's mobbed by happy fans in 1978 is almost as worrying as his grimacing. I would still have stayed well clear of his teeth if I were them.
In some ways the colour images are not as effective as the black and white. To publishers it seems acceptable to tweak black and white to bring out the best interpretation of the negatives, whereas editors who are not photographers tend to shy away from altering the often gun metal dark quality of transparency, or rushed colour print images, to produce a better result. If it's acceptable to enhance monochrome then it should also be acceptable to enhance historic colour images.
Photographic veracity over appeal is all very well, but like 'Play it again Sam' being the line from Casablanca that isn't actually said photo captions tend to pass into fact unless corrected. Moore corrects a Picture Post caption error which identifies the Col Du Tourmalet as 'Le Torniquet'.
Here's a couple of Moore's that need to be addressed in future editions. On page 69 it's not Bartali leading but Coppi. As Moore will know - it's all about the nose with Coppi.
Finally, I've seen this more than once which is why it rankles: there is absolutely no way on earth that the image on page 25 of Octave Lapize tackling the Tourmalet in 1910 is shot at night and lit with car headlights. Film stock and lenses in 1910 just weren't fast enough to do that and register the specatators and the whole mountainside as well. Even with a flash array the size of a house just behind the camera, even now, you would not get this image in darkness. The spectators are lit from the sun - as is the bar of the windshield on the car. It's dawn's early light and Lapize must be high up the mountain pass rather not just starting it. Some newspaper editor back in 1910 slapped on a bit of poetic licence and the myth has merrily been pedalled for over 100 years as far as Moore. Never mind. Nobody's perfect. Now that was said in a film...
Bin the terrible cover and you have a pretty well-presented photo book with all the facts you need on the first 100 years of the Tour de France.

GREAT FALLS – It has been six months since Ashley Whittle was seriously injured in an industrial accident, and for 24-year-old Whittle, it's a day she'll never forget.
Whittle had worked at Morcon, a manufacturer of paper products, for almost four months when the unexpected happened. She was still in training and her job was to pack and box products made at the facility.
Whittle's long, dark hair fell to the middle of her back so she kept it pulled up in a ponytail at work.

My grandfather was a master of homemade ice cream. The process started in the early afternoon. The custard would be mixed, the peaches peeled and added. Then the ice cream custard would retire to the "icebox" to chill. A quick trip to town for a bag of ice and it was time for the ritual.

BBC blasted for compromise over Margaret Thatcher's Witch song
Britain's public broadcaster came under fire on Friday for compromising over the song Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead that was sent flying up the UK charts by a campaign to celebrate former prime minister Margaret Thatcher's deathtv Updated: Apr 13, 2013 18:18 IST
Britain's public broadcaster came under fire on Friday for compromising over the song Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead that was sent flying up the UK charts by a campaign to celebrate former prime minister Margaret Thatcher's death. The song from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz is vying for the No 1 slot in the UK's weekly list of the top 40 best-selling singles that are usually played in full on a BBC Radio 1 chart show on Sunday.
As pressure mounted from some politicians and members of the public to ban the disrespectful song, the BBC said it would air the track on Sunday but only a short clip as part of a news item explaining why the song is in the charts. The song Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead was popularised by a campaign to celebrate Margaret Thatcher's death.
"The BBC finds this campaign distasteful but does not believe the record should be banned," the BBC said in a statement.
The furore was seen as a critical test for the new head of the BBC, Tony Hall, appointed after a sex scandal involving the late TV presenter Jimmy Savile threw the broadcaster into turmoil and raised questions about the organisation's ethics. The publicly-funded BBC was criticised for a slow and unconvincing response to revelations that Savile was a serial paedophile abusing children over decades.
BBC Radio 1 controller Ben Cooper acknowledged the decision to air a clip of the Wicked Witch song was a compromise. "You have very difficult and emotional arguments on both sides of the fence and let's not forget you also have a family that is grieving for a loved one who has yet to be buried," he said in a statement. But the reaction not to play the song in full like other chart hits sparked criticism of the BBC caving in to political pressure over the 87-year-old leader who died of a stroke last Monday.
Even some Thatcher supporters, including the former Conservative MP Louise Mensch, said the BBC should air the song. "Thatcher stood for freedom," tweeted Mensch.
Media lawyer Mark Stephens from London law firm HowardKennedyFsi said the BBC should play the song. "She was a controversial figure and its chart position represents the views of a section of the community," he told the Independent newspaper. Prime Minister David Cameron steered clear of the debate on Friday, having struggled all week to find a unified approach towards handling Thatcher's death and her funeral on Wednesday.
Earlier in the week he described so-called death parties by her detractors as distasteful and a spokesman on Friday said he had no further comment to add over the Wicked Witch song. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrat Party, said it was not for politicians to tell the BBC what to play even though he did not feel the online campaign was 'in very good taste at all'.
The BBC has banned other songs in the past, including the Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen which was released in 1977 at the time of the Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee.

Beck acknowledges his role in "turn[ing] the light of day" on Tides
On Friday, I discussed the case of Byron Williams, who on July 18 was pulled over by police while reportedly on his way to "kill people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU" and engaged in a five to eight minute shootout with ten officers before being shot, capture, and hospitalized. I noted that the Tides Foundation is relatively obscure, and wrote that "the question the media should be asking is why he decided to target Tides."
I also pointed out that while we don't know how Williams heard about Tides, Glenn Beck is virtually the only one on television talking about the organization, regularly bringing it into his conspiracy theories. Beck has mentioned the organization in at least 29 editions of his Fox News program, including twice the week before Williams' shootout.
Today, Glenn Beck acknowledged his role in purportedly "turn[ing] the light of day on" the Tides Foundation. After playing a clip in which Color of Change's James Rucker says that "No one knew what Tides was" until "they were on Glenn Beck's blackboard," Beck says:
BECK: Then he says, the reason why I'm trouble is because no one knew what Tides was before Glenn Beck's blackboard. Tides was one of the hardest things that we ever tried to explain, and everyone told us that we couldn't. It is the reason why the blackboard really became what the blackboard is, is because I was trying to explain Tides, and how all of this worked. Now, you'll notice that I'm a danger because no one knew what Tides was until the blackboard. Meaning that they need the cover of darkness. They must silence people that turn the light of day on to these organizations.
As I noted last week, in "turn[ing] the light of day" on Tides, Beck suggested that they were "using failing capitalism to destroy it" and creating a "mass organization to seize power."

Hello Steve,
Before sending this question I reviewed the Official Rules board to see if my question had been answered. It appears that it had, but I wasn't sure if I was looking at conflicting answers.
From a previous post it appears that a character that possessed a host could be stunned if the host was stunned. Does this apply with Unconscious, Disabled, Dying and Instant Kill results as well--assuming you are using the OPTION: MASSIVE DAMAGE for the last two results to be possible?
My thought was Stun and Unconscious applied to possessor and host. In the case of Dying or Instant Kill results I would allow a Will Save or Power Check by the possessor vs a DC of 15+Damage for the possessor to be expelled (but unconscious) from the host.
Thank you.
From Previous Posts...
http://www.mutantsandmasterminds.com/ph ... possession
.... what happens if the body I am inhabiting is damaged to unconsciousness or disability? Can I just hop out or am I expelled?
SK: You're expelled, but unharmed.
http://www.mutantsandmasterminds.com/ph ... possession
1. The book states that the possessor uses the host's physical attributes, skills, and powers. This seems to indicate that this means that the host's damage and fortitude saves are used to resist damage and injury effects. It says nothing else, so that infers that if the possessor fails a damage save, goes to dying, and then fails the fortitude save, the host and the posessor are dead. Is this correct?
SK: Yes.
Possession + (Unconscious, Disabled or Dead)
These questions about M&M's first edition were posed to Steve Kenson--and then he answered them! Steve's now providing official answers to second edition questions, but we've archived this forum for you to search.

The answers are both right: a possessor whose host is KOed is expelled, but a possessor whose host is killed also dies from the lethal shock. Your option of allowing a Will save to escape this fate is just fine if it's something that suits your game.

At first glance, the Forbes Traveler 50 Most Visited Attractions List confirms several tourist industry truisms: A) Americans love to travel, but they prefer to stick within their own borders. B) Wherever Mickey Mouse goes, he conquers. C) Paris is the unofficial cultural theme park of the world. And D) Niagara Falls isn't just for lovers anymore.
But the list also contains several surprises. Since the Taj Mahal—our fiftieth and final attraction—receives 2.4 million visitors a year, several popular favorites like the the Prado (2 million), the Uffizi (1.6 million), Angkor (1.5 million) and Stonehenge (850,000) didn't make the cut. And while Western audiences may not be familiar with names like Everland and Lotte World, these South Korean mega-parks managed to rank 16th and 22nd on our list, respectively.
Not surprisingly, the French are out in force. How to account for the preponderance of attractions in Paris? According to the latest statistics report from the World Tourism Organization, France receives more foreign tourists per year than any other country -- some 76 million in 2005. Spain followed with 55 million, the United States with 50 million and China with 47 million. Italy rounded out the top five with 37 million (with the U.K. not far behind).
And given that we chose to include domestic tourism statistics, why wouldn't India, China and the developing world have more attractions on the list?
The three primary factors appear to be relative GDP (recall that significant majorities of the populations of China and India remain at subsistence level), the vast travel distances involved within those countries, and the lack of reliable visitor statistics. We were nevertheless surprised to learn that the Taj Mahal receives only 2.4 million visitors a year, given India's population of over a billion. And while the Great Wall made the top 10, we couldn't find any other Chinese domestic attraction that drew similar crowds. Expect that to change in the years ahead.
We excluded religious pilgrimage sites, such as Saudi Arabia's Mecca, India's Varanasi, and Tokyo's Sensoji Temple, which according to the Japan Tourism Authority receives over 30 million visitors each year. We chose to include some famous churches in Paris owing to their status as cultural attractions and the high numbers of foreign tourists they receive. St. Peter's Square straddled the line, but there are no estimates for tourist traffic versus religious attendance, so we included only visitors to the Vatican museums.
And though the Mall of America in Minnesota, with all its myriad diversions, received a staggering 40 million visitors last year (and at last count China has roughly half a dozen equivalents in terms of size), we chose not to include shopping malls. Amusement parks did make the list (to our consternation and your tedium), but thankfully there are plenty of tourist attractions of genuine cultural and natural worth.
And finally, a hearty three cheers to Pleasure Beach Blackpool in Lancashire, England, which has been welcoming punters since 1896. After several decades of decline, this amusement park and its surrounding resort town now officially the most visited paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom. Who'd have thought?
So who's #1? The Eiffel tower? The Grand Canyon? The Great Wall? The Pyramids of Giza? Answer: none of the above.

Even with a dearth of major upsets in college basketball this week, there were still some changes in the rankings.
There was no suspense at the top. Arizona easily retained the No. 1 spot in the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll for a second week, once again claiming 30 of 32 first-place votes.
But No. 2 is now quite literally a dead heat. Ohio State and Syracuse, separated by just three poll points a week ago, are now tied for second, with each still getting a No. 1 nod. Louisville, Michigan State and Wisconsin continue to hold down the next three positions.
COACHES POLL: Full top 25 rankings
RELATED: Kentucky, Louisville both lacking marquee wins
Stock up: Oklahoma State. The Cowboys were able to climb two places within the top 10 thanks to some minor shifting with close point totals. They check in at No. 7
Stock down: Kentucky. The Wildcats' road loss at North Carolina, their third setback of the young season, sent the preseason No.1 team tumbling out of the top 10 all the way to No. 21. UK's 11-position drop is the largest of the week.
Stock up: Connecticut. Replacing Kentucky at No.10 are the unbeaten Huskies, who gained two places to leapfrog another undefeated squad, No. 11 Oregon.
TIP-OFF: Time to start noticing Oregon
BASKETBALL BRUNCH: Is UNC a title contender?
Stock down: Kansas. The Jayhawks did pick up a bounce-back win against New Mexico after falling earlier in the week to Florida. But that didn't stop KU from taking a six-spot hit in the rankings to check in at No.19.
Stock up: North Carolina. The up-and-down Tar Heels are back on the upswing, gaining three places to No.18 following their win against UK. The upward move of three matches the largest of the week shared by No. 13 Iowa State and co-No. 15 Baylor. The Bears, by the way, split the No. 15 spot with Gonzaga, which can't seem to stay out of ties. The Bulldogs were even with Iowa State at No. 16 last week.
Stock down: Duke. It wasn't anything the Blue Devils did, since they were out of action all week. But both they and Wichita State were nudged down a slot to No. 8 and 9, respectively, as Oklahoma State surged ahead.
New kids on the block: No. 24 Colorado, No. 25 Missouri.
College dropouts: Iowa, Michigan.
