La Belle Vie!
This lovely and comfortable farmhouse located just beyond the picturesque village of Entrecasteaux in the cinematic French countryside is a perfect home base for a family or friends getaway. Like a scene from Beauty and the Beast you will wind through cobblestone streets, past fountains and the village Chateau, with flower boxes and shutters adorning each window, to your very own Provencal farmhouse. Les Moulieres is set between a vineyard and a river with a main house that sleeps 4 with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a guest house that sleeps two with its own kitchenette and bathroom. The layout is perfect to come either come together to enjoy meals, movies, conversations either inside or outside and yet each have your own private space to collect thoughts and have some alone time. Enjoy all the comforts of home, a fireplace, TV, WiFi, laundry and a fully equipped kitchen. The home is clean and well appointed. Spend your days tasting at nearby wineries, wandering local farmers markets, take long drives through hillside limestone villages, through lavender fields and along verdant river gorges only to return to your private farmhouse to take a dip in the backyard pool. Or jet set off for a day trip to the beach clubs of sunny St.Tropez, rub elbows along the Cote D'Azur in Cannes or try your hand at lady luck in the casinos of Monte Carlo. Walk in Van Gogh's footsteps or simply sit and enjoy a cafe creme and pain au chocolat close to home as you look out on the town chateau. Also to be found in Entrecasteaux is a boulangerie, fine dining at the top of the ramp at La Fourchette, rock and roll pizza with a killer patio at Le Tempo. The property, the surroundings, you will be living la belle vie!
This property is beyond description yet the images will remain with us for a lifetime.
We flew into Paris and saw the tourist sights for 4 days. We woke up early on Saturday and took the high speed train to AIX Provence where we rented our car and began the journey to Entrecasteaux. Our directions were perfect and in no time we were greeted at the house by the local English speaking host and given a grand tour of the property including the house, guest house and pool area. (yes, we went swimming!)
Our days were filled with visiting local farmer markets in the neighboring communities as well as day trips to Monte Carlo, Canne, Nice and other fabulous locations. Some days we cooked in the complete kitchen and other days visited local eateries. Our timing was perfect, visited the Bern Castle estate while they were having a chocolate and wine tasting event!
We were 4 adults....would we do this again?.....YES, in a heart beat. This property was the overall best experience out of all of our years of travel.
So relaxing, so exciting, so beautiful.
We left the house on the following Saturday morning, caught the high speed train back to Paris, and enjoyed our last night in Paris by reminiscing about our perfect holiday in Entrecasteaux!
Oh I want to go again...
I stayed at this place twice...once in early summer, then the following year in September. The first time -- with the lavender in bloom around the house -- we did a lot of wandering. Old churches, 15th century bridges connecting tiny towns to grapevined fields. Town markets. Gorges ending in lakes. Picnics along the way.And some outstanding restaurants when we got tired of cooking from the markets.
The second time -- the figs waiting to be picked from the trees just out the kitchen door -- I was lazier. Reading by the pool. Still warm enough to swim. Slow walks around the land, down to the river, up to the old stone houses. Just writing about it makes me want to pack my bag again. I went with friends -- they stayed in the house -- I stayed in the little house alone. We met for meals and adventures. There were only 3 of us, but there could have been more and we still wouldn't have gotten into each others way.
The place is a farmhouse like no farmer ever lived in. All the conveniences without any upscale cold hotel feel. Wish I could go back...envy you if you do
Wunderschöne, entspannte Ferien
Das Haus ist ein Traum und perfekt ausgestattet. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und immer abwechselnd gefaulenzt und Ziele in der Umgebung erkundet. Die Ansprechperson vor Ort war extrem nett, kompetent und hilfsbereit.
Jderzeit wieder gerne!!!!!!
Entrecasteaux is located 25km north-east of Brignoles. One of the prettiest villages in the region, it has kept its original charm that goes all the way back to the 11th century. The château in the center of the village was built in the 16thc. on the ruins of an 11thc. fort and boasts a garden designed by Le Notre. The old paved streets, lined with tall and narrow facades complete the picture of a medieval village.
Linens/towels and cleaning charges included in rental rates. Stays of 2 weeks may have a mid-stay clean. Long term rates available on request.

Anyone who read Issue 53 on Great Whisky Bars of The World will know that Whisky Magazine rates The Highlander Inn in Craigellachie pretty highly. Richard Jones discovers what makes this humble looking bar such a haven for whisky lovers
'There can be only one!' declared Christopher Lambert in the cult 1986 film Highlander, somewhat misleadingly given the subsequent sequels (three) and television series (two).
Perhaps if you were born in the Scottish Highlands in 1518 and forced to fight other immortals in New York City nearly 500 years later, you could be forgiven a moment of confusion. However when it comes to whisky bars, there's little doubt that the Highlander Inn in Craigellachie is pretty unique.
It helps if you have a great location.
Thanks to its sprawling topography and concentration of distilleries, the whisky region of Speyside lacks a single, undisputed capital. Yet the village of Craigellachie has more claim than most.
'The heart of Speyside' is a much overused phrase beloved by tourist websites, but if any locality has earned the cliché then this is it.
Situated at the intersection of the A95 and A941, immediately to the west lies The Macallan; to the southwest Dailuaine; to the north / northeast Glen Spey and Glenrothes; and to the south heading towards Dufftown sits Aberlour, The Balvenie and Glenfiddich.
In fact at least 15 distilleries can be considered close to Craigellachie (including the eponymous distillery) with many more only slightly further afield. Which, of course, makes Craigellachie the perfect place for a quality hotel.
"I feel we're very much complimentary to the Craigellachie Hotel and the Quaich Bar rather than competitors," begins Duncan Elphick, part owner a...

I've had a fabulous time here! Will recommend to all my friends! (And believe me, they've asked! Green with envy!)
We were in London during a heat wave (by London standards) and the flat definitely retains the heat. However, everything was as advertised, the location is good, and the owner was responsive. It's not a great flat, but it is certainly adequate for a short stay.
Extremely small studio apartment that is definitely not somewhere to hang out and relax. Perfect for the tourist who plans to be out exploring all day. The flat gets very very warm if all of the doors and windows are closed but it cools off quickly when they are opened if it is cool outside. The bed is only somewhat comfortable and the linens definitely left something to be desired. Close to Underground stations and restaurants, which is a definite perk. Owner may want to update their list of things to do in the area - for example, The Duke of Wellington bar next door is closed and looks to have been that way for quite some time. Very affordable price.
This flat is perfect for one or two people, and has everything you need for a great stay in central London!
The apartment is well furnished and the kitchen is well equipped for a comfortable stay in a great neighborhood. It was a good size for a solo traveller. The Baker Street tube stop has several lines so most of the time you don't need to transfer trains. The windows face south so the apartment is bright. The terrace allows one to enjoy fresh air if it is not too cold. It is quiet and grocery stores are an easy walk in either direction. The agents were very responsive, met me on time and answered all my questions. I would stay there again.
The property is in a good location. 10 minute walk to the Baker Street tube station. The apartment was clean and had an outdoor terrace. It was also very small for two people and too hot. The only way to control the heat was to leave the window open. The bed was not the most comfortable we have slept on and was small for two people. The bathroom needs updating - the tub is very high and difficult to get in and out of and the sink didn't drain well. Also, hand towels and tissues would have been nice.
This studio was a great deal considering the location. Close to Baker St. tube station which connects to several lines and close to the Marylebone neighborhood and a few parks as well. It was clean and well maintained; no one lives there full time. Quiet as the room is back. The owner/management were very responsive/helpful to texts/messages. If you don't need a lot of space (wasn't necessarily tiny), this is a great option for one or two people. Rajdoot restaurant down the street was about the best Indian food we've ever had.
Enjoy a light dinner out on the roof garden terrace and enjoy the Cental London location.

If you want to get down to some serious high street shopping, jump on one of the many buses that take you down to Oxford Street.

The series is being produced by Saban Entertainment, working with Nascar, and is slated to air on the Fox Kids Network during the 1999-2000 TV season.
Hasbro will market products in a range of categories, including action figures, vehicles, play sets, games, puzzles and youth electronics.
A number of other companies also market Nascar-licensed toys, including Action Performance Cos., Mattel and Racing Champions. Most of those toys are based on actual race cars and require a separate license with the driver or racing team.
The as-yet-unnamed TV show is an adventure involving fictitious Nascar heroes and vehicles that are sci-fi inspired.
"The show is a new, wholly original Nascar-branded entertainment that while based in reality is total fantasy," said Elie Dekel, exec VP-Fox Family Worldwide, adding that Fox's interest in a Nascar-theme show stems from the soaring popularity of the sport.
Saban is managing the licensing business and is partnering with Nascar on building the promotional program and marketing strategy of the property. Licensing revenues will be split between Saban and Nascar.
Nascar's goal with the series is to build its brand among kids, an under-developed market for Nascar.

Unmasking the Real Zorro
- 17
- Oct
Through the years there have been many people to have claimed the title " Zorro ", meaning fox, but who was the real man? The first to hold the name Zorro ( but that is disputed ), was William Lamport ( 1611-1659 ) or Don Guillén de Lampart (or Lombardo) y Guzmán, who was an Irishman living in Mexico trying to incite the crowds to fight for their freedom. The next man was Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla ( 1753-1810 ), a priest who was able to get crowds to follow him by the thousands, and was the first to be publicly called Zorro, but died by firing squad a few years later. But our story has a California connection and neither of these men do, theirs was a fight in Mexico. in 1919 Johnston McCulley wrote a story called "The Curse of Capistrano ", and six years later Douglas Fairbanks was playing him on screen. Johnston supposedly received his inspiration from a 1854 book entitled " The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murrieta, The Celebrated California Bandit " by John Rollin Ridge ( Yellowbird ). John heard about a Mexican miner who had turned to banditry and was intrigued by the story, but who was the real man?
Joaquin Murrieta was born in Sonora Mexico in 1830 to Joaquin and Rosalia Murrieta, but his mother was previously married to a man named Carrillo, a name he would use later in life. By 1850 he was married to Rosa Feliz, and working in the rich gold country of California along with Rosa's three brothers. Claudio Feliz, Rosa's brother headed to Sonora California while Joaquin and Rosa were off to Niles Canyon in Contra Costa County. But things quickly turned sour, remember, California was bought from Mexico in 1848 and just a year later gold was discovered and Rosa and Joaquin were right in the heart of the gold country. According to legend, Joaquin was doing well, but nearby Anglo miners were not. So one night they tied Joaquin to a tree and brutally raped his wife for hours, she would later die of the wounds and hung his brother. So Joaquin turned to a life of crime in order to revenge their deaths.
The truth is Claudio was arrested for stealing another man's gold, but was able to escape the Stockton jail. He was a ruthless killer, on one of his earliest robbing murdering spree, he and his gang ended up at the Digby Smith ranch and supposedly crushed Digby's skull, split another with an axe and severed a cook's head, then burned the place to the ground. In 1851 Claudio robbed a Californio and made the mistake of not killing him. Once the news reached the local Hispanic Californio's, they choose not protect him anymore and he was quickly found and killed. This made Joaquin the leader of the gang.
Claudio's brother Reyes joined Joaquin in Los Angeles, and they were quickly implicated in the death of General Joshua Bean, the Major General of the state militia, he was also the brother of famed judge Roy Bean. Reyes was convicted of the murder and hung just outside Fort Moore. By January 1853 our " hero " was hellbent on continuing the carnage of his brothers in law. They killed 22 men in just TWO months, mostly docile Celestial's ( people of Asian decent ) and most of the time these people were killed for entertainment only… By March, Joaquin was too well known for the area, so he left for the San Joaquin Valley. Meanwhile the state of California had enough and on May 14th 1853 the state senate passed a bill authorizing "Captain Harry Love to raise a company of mounted rangers, to pursue and capture " Joaquin " the bandit." On July 25th of the same year Captain Love captured Joaquin's gang and fatally shot their leader in a running gun battle.
To prove that he had finally got his man, he severed Joaquin's head and placed in a saddlebag to taken back. End of the story…. Or is it? Love only had a small window of time in order to catch Joaquin, and time was running out. He was looking at a $5000 paycheck if he could get his man, so it appears that he had " a man "…. There have been discrepancies since day one, that the man he beheaded was not Joaquin. Newspaper accounts of the day state both ways, it was and it was not Joaquin, depending on who you want to believe. Earlier we stated that Joaquin sometimes used the name Carrillo, he also used Valenzuela, and others, this led to the rise of the five Joaquin's. It seems that nearly every robbery or murder in the state was attributed to Joaquin and his gang. But it would make for a very smart tactic, have five gangs roaming the state and bringing back the plunder to the real Joaquin. Then after one is killed, quietly move back to Mexico, retire, and live a good life…
So if Johnson McCulley actually did use Joaquin as a inspiration for Zorro, I'm not sure if it was well deserved. The legend is a great story, but the harsh reality of the atrocities he and his gang committed, are eminence.
2 Responses so far.
William Lamport ( 1611-1659 ) is listed as an American… there was no America in the 1600's. He was Irish.

I trust the Lord was generous to you and your family this Christmas in many ways! He is here!! Praise His name!
This was a quiet week in the office and since we did not have a CHRISTMAS DAY service, I thought I would send you all a short update about several things.
1) NEW YEAR'S DAY… we WILL be having a morning worship service. It begins at 11:00am (not at 10:30am for this SUNDAY only). Please plan to come as we WORSHIP the LORD on New Year's Day! We will have time of fellowship following the service… so plan to stay and visit for a while.
2) END of the year giving. If you are still wanting to give a gift to the LORD (an offering) for the 2011 year, we will be accepting them in the office till the end of the work day on FRIDAY. Some money has come in already but there is still time to get in your gift(s). God has blessed LPC in a great way this year! We were praying to break $3,000 for MAK giving and we are just short of that at this time. ALSO, our goal for mission giving this year was $9,000. We are sitting at just short of $7,000 today (over $2,000 short). If the Lord would prompt you to give to missions that would be a blessing! In 2010, we gave $8,900 to missions.
3) Office hours: The office will be closed MONDAY, January 2nd and will reopen on Tuesday for the rest of the week. THANK YOU for blessing our staff so much over the Christmas season. We all were overwhelmed at your generosity!
4) All regular weekly ministries (including LifeLand) will be postponed till the week of JANUARY 8th. Then we will be back to full speed ahead.
5) Christmas Memorial Poinsettias. THANK you to all who donated a Poinsettia in the name of a loved one. I know I have taken some time to pause at each one and remember them who have passed on. Please feel free to come by the office and take your flowers home. THANK YOU for allowing us to use them this Christmas! They looked beautiful.
6) RE-KIND-DLE: 2012! We are looking forward to a week of prayer, fasting and special ministry as we begin the New Year (starts January 8th)! Please keep these dates protected and in mind as we seek the LORD at the beginning of this year.
7) THANK YOU to those who helped at the CHRISTMAS DAY DINNER. What a beautiful gift to our community and area! God BLESS you as you served SO faithfully on the CHRISTMAS DAY… you truly we like the WISE MEN who brought gifts to the Christ Child. Praise God for you!
THANK YOU for all you have done for the LORD in 2011. It was a year of PROMISE for LPC! We are waiting in expectation for what He has planned for us all in 2012!
To God be the glory!

FA CUP LIVE: Manchester United v Reading - as it happened from Old Trafford
Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the FA Cup with Rik Sharma as Manchester United host Reading at Old Trafford to conclude the weekend's fifth round fixtures. The Premier League leaders are heavy favourites to progress at the expense of the Royals in the all-top flight clash which produced seven goals in the first 35 minutes when the teams last met at the Madejski Stadium back in December.
Follow Rik on Twitter here: @rbsfeatures or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Man United 2-1 Reading (KO 8pm)
Man Utd: De Gea, Smalling, Jones (Nani 42), Vidic, Buttner, Valencia, Anderson (Carrick 83), Cleverley, Young (Van Persie 63), Welbeck, Hernandez.
Subs not used: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Giggs, Kagawa.
Goals: Nani 69, Hernandez 72.
Reading: Federici, Kelly, Shorey, Mariappa, Morrison, Karacan, Leigertwood (Guthrie 63), McAnuff, McCleary (Robson-Kanu 70), Hunt, Le Fondre.
Subs not used: Andersen, Gunter, Pearce, Carrico, Pogrebnyak.
Booked: Hunt.
Goal: McAnuff 81.
Ref: Andre Marriner.
An interesting game and a fair result. McDermott's men defended manfully and manged to prevent an onslaught after United opened the scoring.
Federici and McAnuff were the star men for the visitors while Vidic and man-of-the-match Nani did the business for Sir Alex Ferguson.
United will now face either Middlesbrough or Chelsea in the quarter-final of the FA Cup.
Thank you for following the action with Sportsmail - please join us again tomorrow night for coverage of Arsenal v Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
96mins: Nani stands over a free kick. This will surely be the last play of the game. He blasts it over... and that's your lot.
95mins: Hernandez strikes from an angle and Federici, who has run all the way back to his goal, denies him. We're in Fergie-time - or should that be McDermott-time today?
Roles reversed: Sir Alex Ferguson was calling for the end of the game after stoppage time overran
94mins: Flicked on and then headed over the bar off of a United defender. Corner... but it's hacked away and United regain control.
94mins: Freekick to Reading, Federici's come up!
John Edwards at Old Trafford: We have seen both sides of David De Gea tonight.
A stunning reflex save from a fiercely-struck Adam Le Fondre volley was the equal of anything he produced in the Bernabeu, but those who question whether he has the physique for English football were given further cause for harbouring doubts.
Not least in the first half when he stayed rooted to his line for an inswinging free-kick that was no further than two yards out by the time Nemanja Vidic won a crucial aerial battle with Sean Morrison.
Not this time: Brian McDermott's team will not get their hands on the FA Cup
90mins: The Dutchman then finds Welbeck with a ball over the top, but he's tackled at the last. Four minutes of injury time added.
87mins: Van Persie plays in Hernandez who drives towards goal and forces Federici to make another good save. Nani fires the rebound in to the side netting.
84mins: Oh Danny! A great break from Nani ends with a measured through-ball to Welbeck on the left hand side of the box. His first touch is a little shaky and then he stumbles in to the ball and knocks it off the pitch laughably with his second.
Comeback: Jobi McAnuff kept a cool head to strike for Reading as they tried to fight back
81mins: GOAL! (McAnuff)
Talk about tempting fate! Smalling fails to clear the ball effectively and McAnuff, who's been Reading's best player tonight (bar Federici), pounces on it inside the box and keeps his composure to roll it past the keeper.
78mins: A quiet night for De Gea in truth. He'll find things tougher when Madrid come to visit.
Sportsmail's John Edwards at Old Trafford:
Talk about a reward for persistence. Nani had only been on
the pitch 27 minutes, after going on as substitute for Phil Jones just before
half-time, but he fairly peppered the Reading goal with shots from all angles
and distances, and with either foot, prior to finally breaking the deadlock.
Anyone would think he was trying to send a message to Sir Alex Ferguson after appearing to become surplus to requirements in recent weeks.
Reach: Hernandez flies in at the near post to connect with Nani's searching cross
Double trouble: Hernandez added to United's lead, leaving Reading a long way to come back
74mins: This could be bad for Reading now. United are flooding forward and a cute backheel from Welbeck is cut out before Nani can reach it for the third.
72mins: GOAL! (Hernandez)
And almost instantly it's the second goal. Nani (yes, him again) whipped in a cross from the right and the Mexican darted in to head home at the near post. Superb movement from Hernandez.
69mins: GOAL! (Nani)
At last the deadlock is broken. And Nani was the most likely person to do it today, given how he's played. The ball broke to him in the box and his lashed strike deflected off of Morrison and past Federici.
Open sesame: Nani got the goalscoring underway as he rifled home from close range
Point to prove? Nani celebrates opening the scoring
68mins: Van Persie lines up a strike at goal but it's blocked on the edge of the box. Reading have defended bravely but it's so difficult to see them holding out.
65mins: Nani fires another strike from distance not-too-far wide of Federici's post.
63mins: Ah, here he is. Van Persie comes on for Young.
59mins: Reading make it into United's box and three shots are all blocked. Now United break with Anderson... and Federici saves in style. Another corner. Don't let the scoreline deceive you - this is a good match.
58mins: Vidic heads at goal... it deflects off Morrison and is hacked off the line by Reading. Living. On. The. Edge.
57mins: Nani steams down the pitch (looks like a man on a mission - a mission to get in to the team for the Real Madrid clash) and lays it off to Hernandez. His cross is blocked for a corner.
55mins: Needless foul from Hunt. He chops down Smalling and is promptly booked by Marriner.
53mins: 'Oh, Robin van Persie' chant the United fans. The lethal Dutchman is on the bench.
50mins: Cleverley's strike is blocked by a defender. Looks like it's backs to the walls for the Royals again.
48mins: United putting the pressure on, as you'd expect.
Opposites: Nani has been running at Reading and causing chaos, unlike Valencia (below)
SECOND-HALF: We're underway
8.57pm: Does anyone know what's happened to Valencia this season? He seems to be far less effective than in the previous two campaigns. (Cue him opening the scoring in the second half with a thunderbolt...)
45+3mins: Another Nani strike is pummeled away for a corner by Federici, this one from fully 30 yards. It looks like Reading will make it to the interval at 0-0.
45mins: Sumptuous volley from substitute Nani cracks against the left-hand upright. The winger was shooting from the right side of the penalty area and was a whisker away from opening the scoring. In other news, there'll be four minutes of added time.
42mins: Nani enters the fray in place of the injured Jones. Valencia will switch to right back.
39mins: Jones is hobbling off after throwing himself in to a tackle with McAnuff. I don't think he'll be able to continue. Ferguson will be hoping he's not out for long, given how well he performed in the Bernabeu.
Blow: Phil Jones was injured during a challenge against Jobi McAnuff and had to be substituted
37mins: Reading have come in to the game more in the second half of the first half. United began at 100miles an hour but McDermott's men will believe they can at least get a draw if they make it to half-time unscathed.
33mins: Smalling rises to reach Anderson's corner... and his header is high, wide and certainly not handsome.
30mins: McAnuff pulled back by Jones as he enters the box. Technically it should be a penalty but in reality if that was ever given we'd all tut, shake our heads and mutter 'soft'.
28mins: It's cleared away by United, Vidic in the end pumping it away. But Reading win it back and McCleary rifles a 25-yarder in to Row P (or thereabouts).
27mins: McAnuff swings in another ball from the left which Buttner heads behind for a corner. Shorey to take.
22mins: How did that not go in?! A great 25-yard drive from Tom Cleverley is palmed away by Federici and the ball falls to Young, just seven yards out. His low strike is somehow attended to by the keeper, who tips it wide when it looked a certain goal.
No way through? Federici leaps to his right to palm Young's effort behind
Blood: Hunt was in the wars
20mins: Blood! Blood! It's Hunt, still suffering from that Vidic collision.
18mins: Another good set-piece delivery from Shorey, this time a free kick from the right hand side of the penalty area. Morrison is ready to head it home but Vidic superbly makes sure he makes it to the ball first. Great defending.
16mins: Jobi McAnuff charges down the left and delivers a fine cross... but there's nobody in the middle. At all.
12mins: Noel Hunt and Vidic receiving treatment after clashing heads in a 50-50 challenge. Vidic seems to have a cut above his eye and Hunt on his head. Ouch.
11mins: Tidy hold-up play by Welbeck. Received the ball in the box with his back to goal. Didn't panic, found Phil Jones on the right, who whipped in a superb low cross which Federici reached just before Hernandez.
My ball: Adam Federici denies Javier Hernandez by reacting quickly to pick up Phil Jones' cross
9mins: Good corner by Nicky Shorey, caused some panic in the United box but Vidic knocked the ball to safety.
7mins: Interested to see a bit of the left back Alexander Buttner. Hardly featured this season after signing from Vitesse Arnhem.
5mins: Last Wednesday, against Madrid, we saw the best of Welbeck (even ignoring his goal). But frankly he needs to find the net on a regular basis. He'll get plenty of chances to if United continue the way they've started tonight.
In the thick of it: Welbeck has already had a few chances... will he find the net today?
4mins: Welbeck is played in down the left by a superb Ashley Young pass, but Adam Federici is more than a match for his strike.
2mins: Shocking finishing from United, who should be ahead already. Danny Welbeck fires at the goalkeeper and the ball rebounds out to Antonio Valencia, who heads it straight in to the sky instead of in to the gaping net.
The ease with which United cut through Reading there will worry McDermott.
7.59pm: Ref Andre Marriner and his officials look a bit chilly in the centre circle. Vidic looks nonplussed.
7.57pm: What lies in wait for the winner of this tie? A home clash against either Middlesbrough or Chelsea.
7.55pm: Five minutes before kick off at Old Trafford. Predictions? 3-1 to United for me. Don't bet on it. Or if you do, don't blame me.
7.50pm: A note on De Gea - it seems people either think he's incredible or he's awful. Can't he just be somewhere in between? A promising keeper - who might or might not become excellent.
Lit up: Old Trafford looks nice with the lights on
7.48pm: Sir Alex confirms that Wayne Rooney isn't in the squad because of a sinus infection.
'He's a sinus infection. He came in on Sunday morning, I sent him home and he's in his bed,' Fergie told ESPN.
Meanwhile Ashley Young is making his first appearance for seven games, while Nemanja Vidic, who missed United's exploits against Real Madrid last week, is back in the heart of the defence.
7.45pm: In January, Le Fondre scored a goal every 17 minutes (or just over) he was on the pitch. So by that reckoning he should score at least four times today. Watch out David De Gea!
7.41pm: McDermott to ESPN: 'It goes against the grain for me not to try and attack. This is a cup game, this is a one-off, we want to get a result. We want to attack the game as best we can.'
He added: 'I spoke to Alfie (Le Fondre) and said to him, for this game, he's first man on the teamsheet and then there's 10 others to follow.'
7.38pm: Recently Royals boss Brian McDermott said: 'If you've got Adam Le Fondre in your team, you've got a chance.' The last few games have been proving him right.
7.36pm: Another glimmer of hope for Reading comes in the form of Adam Le Fondre, who has been superb of late. He has seven goals in his last seven games.
7.32pm: Although it is hard to see Reading getting a result tonight, let's remind ourselves of that crazy game in December which United won 4-3 at the Madjeski. Click HERE for the match report.
7.26pm: Former United player Sir Bobby Charlton speaking to ESPN: 'It's a great game and it's an FA Cup and I am always very happy come the FA Cup because it's something completely different and a change from the norm.
'I'm happy we're still in the cup because there's a lot of good teams that have have gone out already.'
Legend: Sir Bobby Charlton walking around the Bernabeu prior to Man United taking on Real Madrid last week
7.22pm: Another surprising (to me, anyway) fact is that Man United have not won the FA Cup for almost a decade. Their last triumph was against Millwall, in 2004.
7.18pm: Here's a scary statistic (via Opta): Reading's last win against United came in 1927. But - don't despair Royals supporters - it was also in the FA Cup AND on a Monday night.
7.15pm: So even though Robin van Persie asked his boss to play him so he can maintain his form, he's not in the starting XI. But Fergie knows best and it would be churlish to quibble with his selection. Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck are certainly good enough to pose Reading a threat.
7.07pm: The team news is in:
Man Utd: De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Vidic, Buttner, Valencia, Anderson, Cleverley, Young, Welbeck, Hernandez.
Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Giggs, Carrick, Nani, RVP, Kagawa.
Reading: Federici, Kelly, Shorey, Mariappa, Morrison, Karacan, Leigertwood, McAnuff, McCleary, Hunt, Le Fondre.
Subs: Andersen, Gunter, Pearce, Carrico, Robson-Kanu, Pogrebnyak.
7pm: Good evening and welcome to Sportsmail's coverage of the final fifth round FA Cup tie this weekend.
In the red corner... it's Manchester United. Champions elect. Eleven-time FA Cup winners with 18 appearances in finals.
And in the blue (and white, striped) corner... Reading. Relegations battlers. No appearances in the final.
Aiming for the last eight: Manchester United will hope to book a quarter-final spot in the FA Cup

Canine Influenza (Dog Flu)
Canine influenza (also known as dog flu) is a contagious respiratory disease in dogs caused by specific Type A influenza viruses known to infect dogs. These are called "canine influenza viruses." Dog flu is a disease of dogs. No human infections with canine influenza have ever been reported. There are two different influenza A dog flu viruses: one is an H3N8 virus and the other is an H3N2 virus. The links below offer more information.

The city of New Orleans hopes to use $100 million from a new influx of FEMA money to fix a 1920s-era Sewerage and Water Board power plant that has failed four times since Hurricane Katrina, once forcing residents to boil their water. Deputy Mayor Cedric Grant said the city has designated the power plant upgrade its top priority after the federal government agreed this week to give the state of Louisiana an additional $390 million for mitigation programs.
Paul Rainwater, the state's Commissioner of Administration, said the state wants the new money from FEMA to go to parishes to make their communities safer for future storms. He said the money will be distributed based on the amount of FEMA public assistance money each parish has received to repair damage from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The state is still working on those calculations.
State officials have also determined that none of the new FEMA mitigation money will go to their troubled $750 million home elevation and reconstruction program for Road Home recipients, which made up a majority of the $1.5 billion in mitigation aid FEMA has sent to Louisiana so far. The state has been harshly criticized for how it has run the elevation program, and several parish-run house-raising programs have been more efficient.
"We've always believed that pushing the money down to local governments is the best way to go," Rainwater said. "In Baton Rouge, it's very difficult to administer those sorts of programs. So, we all agreed this money needed to be pushed down to local governments so they could set their own priorities."
Only Jefferson Parish stands to collect a higher percentage of the new money than Orleans Parish. Grant said it will take about $200 million to repair the Sewerage and Water Board's 25-cycle power plant on Claiborne Avenue, which runs the city's sewer and drainage pumps. About half of the upgrades should be paid for with hazard mitigation aid, Grant said.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu sent a letter to Gov. Bobby Jindal in January appealing for the additional mitigation money. In the letter, Landrieu lists a few other priorities beyond the power plant, including drainage and storm-water management systems modeled after those used in the Netherlands. Landrieu's letter also says the city would work with the state to develop a housing construction program to satisfy FEMA's requirement that local governments match 10 percent of certain disaster recovery costs.
Parishes have used mitigation money in the past for everything from residential elevation projects to stormproofing of infrastructure.
State spokeswoman Christina Stephens said the $390 million approved by FEMA this week acknowledges the $5 billion increase in public assistance projects the federal agency has approved since 2008. The original mitigation aid of $1.5 billion was awarded because it was 7.5 percent of all Katrina and Rita recovery costs FEMA had paid from 2005 to 2008.
"We've been very aggressive in the last few years in making sure we were getting fairly assessed (for Katrina and Rita recovery costs) under the FEMA process," Stephens said.
The state's decision not to give any new money to its signature home elevation program is noteworthy. That program, which is run by the state Office of Community Development, has taken off in the past year, paying out more than $350 million of the $650 million earmarked for grants. But it has also been dogged by allegations of graft, mismanagement and shoddy work.
The latest estimates show that the $650 million set aside for actual homeowner grants might be enough money to cover only 10,500 of the 15,000 approved applicants, leading elevation companies to clamor for additional aid. Some homeowners who are waiting for the grants say they've been informed their grant is on hold because of financing issues.
But Rainwater said the Jindal administration never wanted to run the program out of Baton Rouge. He said that FEMA insisted on a state-run home elevation effort in 2008 because the $1.2 billion had sat unused for three years already and, Rainwater said, "we almost lost the money."
"We think it's better spent at the local level, so here's our chance to correct it," he said.
St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis echoed that sentiment as he cheered his parish's chance to expand the home elevation grant program it runs in-house.
"We have more than 150 people in the pipeline in our program ... so I can't tell you how excited I am to get this money down to the local level and get it out fast as we can," Davis said.

Had been destroyed by the Germans in 1943. According to testimonies we found, the fence stones were used to build a road, a tank trench was built in the northern part of the graveyard, and most of the tombstones were removed for curbstones in the streets. They were dumped in cement in a bridge in the center of town. Some other matzevot are in Polish yards and houses. In cooperation with the local Polish Land Lovers Association, we are trying now to overcome the destruction, fence the cemetery, protect it from future possible development, redeem the matzevot from where they are and return them, making a memorial monument inside the holy place. We already managed to mark the boundaries of the cemetery in cooperation with the local Conservator in Plock. Also, more than 200 matzevot were removed from the streets of Browarna and are safe now in a local Contractor warehouse. The first steps have been taken towards completing the mission. We have support, both financially and logistically, from Zygmunt Nissenbaum's fund; and our project will be accomplished with its assistance. Jews from nearby small towns and villages, such as Dobrzykow, Ilowo, Sannicki and more were also buried here. Yizkor. [August 2003]
Jews were recorded first in the 1507 census in conjunction with the coronation of Sigismund I but probably lived there prior to that date. Most Jews was involved in small trade and crafts and some in buying and exporting skins. The increasing role of Jews in the economy worried Christian merchants and craftsmen. In 1576, the shoemakers petitioned Polish king Zygmunt III to prohibit Jews from buying skins from surrounding peasants. Jews could purchase them only at a town market at the end of morning Catholic mass. The decree held until 1582 when Stefan Batory forbade Jews from acquiring hides and tallow in the city or surrounds. During the Swedish war, Stefan Czarniecki's pogrom killed and injured many Jews including scholar Rabbi Abele Gombiner. As the city revived in the early 18th century, the local Jewish community developed, but the Jews only could reside in a separate part of the city. In 1710, a wooden synagogue was built. Jews continued in small trade and crafts, but several worked in agriculture, mainly orchards on land belonging to German colonists. In court documents in Warsaw, records reveal a complaint made in 1690 by the Christian merchants about the Jewi Jakub Gostynin and his son Yochama about surgery. From 1823 until 1862, a ghetto existed. The son of Abraham Abele Gombiner, Chaim ha-Levy, later rabbi of Kalisz, author of "Magen Abraham" ( "Shield of Abraham"), a commentary on the first part of the Shulchan Aruch, was born there. In 1914 Rabbi Gombiner founded a group of Jewish intellectuals and a library. In 1917, during the self-government election, Jewish candidates won twelve of the eighteen seats. During this time, chief rabbi was Jehuda Gąbin Goldsmith, visionary of the Zionist movement. In 1927, he was replaced by Rabbi Nutkowitza. The synagogue was built as a timber-framed rectangle. Over the entrance were two onion-shaped domed towers, each with a flag. On the truss was the dates 1710 and 1893, the years of construction and renewal of the synagogue. The album Old Jewish Art in Poland by Izabella Rejduch-Samków and Jan Samek estimates that the facade of the synagogue was inspired by the baroque architecture of churches. Anna Kubiak's study "Jewish historical architecture in Poland" (Jewish Bulletin of Institute History, 1953) states: "(....) structures in the contour Cerkiewne. The synagogue roof was originally covered with shingles and later with sheet iron. The sanctuary had a women's gallery supported on pillars called babińcem. Six steps led to the centrally located bimah decorated by a roof supported by four pillars. A Polish eagle topped the brass chandelier. Candlesticks were used before 1772. A baroque aron ha-kodesh, apparently carved by knife only was famous. The building avoided fires that occurred fro time to time in the city. The synagogue survived the bombing and fire during September 1939, but September 21, 1939 was its end. In the interwar period, Jews had clothing, leather, footwear and agricultural products shops and stalls. Among the 488 artisans 198 were Jews. In 1935 Jewish craftsmen included 65 tailors, 7 caps manufacturers, 28 shoemakers, locksmiths 5, 10 blacharzy, 4 carpenters producing furniture, 4 and 5 builders and hairdressers. Some Jews owning furmanki engaged in transport. Pine forests enjoyed visitors. Some Jews had guest houses and inns. Despite this, the financial situation of a large part of the Jewish community was poor. Many Jews were living in poverty, with the assistance of charity. Difficult living conditions forced many to emigrate. From 1920 to 1935, 47 Jewish families and 127 individuals left, three amilies and 31 people to Palestine. Despite the poverty, their cultural and political life was rich. In the 1930s, a boycott of Jewish shops and craft enterprises ensued. Consequently, the diminished kahal budget aid increased the suffering of the poorest. Soon after the Nazis occupied the city in 1939, Jews were put into forced labor in the trenches. On September 21, 1939, the Jewish population of gathered in the market. The Nazis brutalized the Jews; some were killed. The synagogue fire spread to a house of prayer and nearby buildings. The fire consumed the Torah, the prayer books and all synagogue equipment. Several Jews in the burning building miraculously escaped death. After this, the Nazis accused Jews of setting the fire, imposing forced contributions. Repression increased daily. Stopped during the night by a German soldier, a Jewess was raped and murdered in cruel ways. Her mother died shortly afterwards. In early October 1939, Jews were ordered to wear yellow Mogen Davids. All men had to sign up to work three days a week for the Third Reich. A Judenrat, headed by Moshe Want, was created. Initially, the ghetto was "open", allowing its 2,100 residents to purchase food from local farmers. Men and women were forced to work for the occupiers and German companies. Early in 194, the Jews were deported to labor camps in Konin, for many only a stage in the final trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau. The ghetto was finally dissolved May 12, 1942. Those who resisted, were shot on the spot. Before the outbreak of WWII, about 2,300 Jews lived in Gabin. Only 212 survived the war. Of those, approximately 180 persons had fled to the Soviet Union. The remaining thirty-two survived the war hiding in the "Aryan" side. After the war, most left Poland for the U.S. and Israel. photos.

Almost completely destroyed by the Nazis, Grziwacz Jacob wrote in his memoirsat www.zchor.org: "One day the Nazis gathered several hundred Jews and ordered them remove the gravestones to the nearby Catholic cemetery. Gravestones were used to reinforce the bridge and construct curbstones. Prior to the entry of Soviet troops into the city, the Nazis once again defiled the cemetery with tanks. Only a few dozen matzevot remain. Sam Rafel in 1937 made a short film about the city and its inhabitants. Courtesy of Ada Holtzman. More photos from the film. The site was a children's ball field and a garbage dump. The majority of graves were unknown until 1993 when torrential rains near the bridge revealed gravestones used in its construction. On July 23, 1993 for "Voice of the Morning" B. Buraczyński wrote: "During the maintenance of the bridge was an unusual discovery. Among river cross plates tombstones were found, originating from the local Jewish cemetery (... ). It turned out that the gravestones were used for the curbs placed along ul. Browarnej. In addition, more than 130 were found on ul. Pożarnej, the profanation of the Jewish cemetery by German occupiers, ... None of [the workers] returned after the war from the Ukraine. They were murdered. Matzevot fragments made of sandstone are also in the nearby forests and in private premises." Local peasants made a cottage industry of the sandstone. Some tombstones were used for other purposes. At the end of the 1990s, descendants of Gabin Jews, the Nissenbaum Family Foundation, Memorial Foundation Century, city authorities, and the Society of Lovers of the Earth Gąbińskiej, cleaned the cemetery area and recovered fragments of gravestones into a lapidarium. The unveiling of a monument took place on August 16, 1999. During the ceremony Maciejko Mary-Kaminska was honored for assisting Jews during the Holocaust. Ada Holtzman, a Gąbiń descendant, created the website especially for the ceremony. [May 2009]

Great open trails for dog walking, hiking, and biking.
The trail wasnt quite clear on where to go.
We started this trail, and certainly enjoyed the views but turned around about a quarter of a mile in due to the overwhelming presence of big honkin ugly power lines. Since it's out and back, it appears walking right alongside this series of giant metal towers would take up at least 30% of the hike. Not worth it in our book.
Great views and awesome motivation!
A great hike! Has a few short and strenuous uphill pieces but well worth it. Fantastic views of Missoula and the valley.

Bare Hill Triathlon
At 7:02 this morning, my son came down from his room. I was debating whether I should go run a sprint triathlon that started at 8. I had just decided that I would run my 8 miles instead, but somehow when he came down I became undecided again. I asked him what I should do. He (rightfully) looked at me strangely and told me to do whatever. I threw my bike on top of the car and drove to the race. The thing is, I haven't been swimming in months. I'm not sure what possessed me to do this, except that it was convenient and I guess I wanted to? I almost gave up a second time when I lost my timing chip while setting up my bike. It turned out it was lying on the ground nearby, but the thought of having to go and tell the race organizers I didn't have a chip was almost too much for me.
As expected, the swim was a struggle. Not the worst kind of struggle. I wasn't drowning, or even really very tired. I was just really bad at it. Before I took those couple months off from swimming, the swim coach taught me to pull, I mean really pull. Apparently though, I only do it with one arm. So, like a shopping cart with a squeaky wheel, I pull to the right. I ended up alternating between breastroke and freestyle just to keep going in the right direction and to avoid running into the woman who swam the whole leg beside me. Needless to say, it was slow. When I looked back at the end, I could have sworn there was no one left in the water. Apparently I was wrong, because I was not last in the swim, but DAMN.
This particular triathlon has the longest transition. You run up the hill from the pond about 1/4 of a mile to the transition area. I ran it in flip-flops. I'm actually quite good at running in flip flops. It's a skill you learn from having a daredevil 4 year old daughter. 5:22 on the transition. I figure this was 3-4 minutes of running and 2-3 minutes of actual transition. I had trouble getting my bike shoes on.
Took off on the bike and started passing people. Being a local tri, I'm used to the hills. I can truly say that I didn't even really push this that much. Maybe a little on some of the longer hills, but not much. I passed people the whole way. Only one person passed me when we had to go down a steep hill with a sharp turn at the bottom. I passed him again on the uphill. At the end, I coasted in. I almost caught a woman in my age group (I later learned) but I decided to let her stay ahead of me in favor of relaxing a little in preparation for the run. I mentioned that I was supposed to do an 8 mile easy run in training today? I wasn't trying to push things. 1:08 on the transition. Uneventful.
The run was probably the best I've ever had in a tri. I started out feeling some soreness in my back, but I just relaxed (not pushing it, again) and ran as if I was doing my 8 miler. It was a nice day, there was shade on much of the route and I was just out to enjoy myself.

Why Tim gives to NYCUP!/
It is a privilege of mine to do this work and Tim Craig is someone who makes that work possible through his devotion to prayer and giving! Here's why he supports NYCUP.
"The last .2 miles of a marathon are very hard (because you have already run 26 miles). They are also full of joy as your multi-hour, lead-legged journey is almost over. Months of training and logging miles has finally paid off as you cross (perhaps stumble across) the finish line.
When Jonathan told me he was running a marathon and raising money, I was confused why it wasn't $26,200. The last .2 miles count. I immediately wanted to give towards those last two-tenths of a mile.
Here's why: NYCUP is developing a generation of student leaders with the character and capacity to run the marathon of Biblical justice in their lives and invite others to join them. The gifts that NCYUP is bringing to the table are powerful and much needed in this generation.
Just in my own life, NYCUP has transformed the way I see the homeless community in NYC. The way I view my neighborhood in Inwood has changed. My understanding of the power of the cross and Jesus' death and resurrection has expanded. NYCUP has helped me bring my racism to Jesus, bringing healing and racial reconciliation. Finally, I have grown in articulating the gospel, prayer and leading diligently.
NYCUP doesn't put the cart before the horse: Jesus Christ is worshipped, studied and foundational to any act of justice. It is not simply doing good things for those in need, but joining with the Lord of all to partner with Him for His redeeming purposes in the world.
I am committed to developing the next generation of student leaders in New York City and NYCUP is crucial to equipping the next generation of leaders to be change agents for the kingdom everywhere they go.
I believe in NYCUP because living a life of justice isn't a sprint. We don't serve hard for 40 seconds, give ourselves a pat on the back and call it a day. It is a lifelong pursuit, pouring out our lives in response to God's love, grace and truth.
NYCUP is the best movement I know of that's doing this." Click here if you would like to give and keep reading if you want to learn more about our exciting work!

Attorney General Kane adds Chief of Staff, realigns Executive Office
Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane has realigned her executive office to strengthen her commitment to public safety by continuing to prosecute drug dealers and child predators, protect consumers, seniors and veterans from fraud, and expose public corruption.
Blake Rutherford has been appointed Chief of Staff, effective December 15. Rutherford, 36, formerly served as Vice President of McLarty Companies, led by former White House Chief of Staff Thomas F. "Mack" McLarty. Prior to joining McLarty Companies, Rutherford was Chief of Staff to the Attorney General of Arkansas. During his tenure in Arkansas, the office established a Cyber Crimes Unit to fight Internet predators, and developed a wide-ranging Consumer Protection initiative and website intended to protect consumers against scams and fraud. From 2006 to 2010, Rutherford served as Director of Public Communications at Stone Ward, a full-service advertising and public relations firm. Prior to that, he was an attorney serving in private practice with the firm of Wright, Lindsey & Jennings LLP. Rutherford is a graduate of Middlebury College and the University of Arkansas School of Law. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife, Jessica Dean, who is the evening news co-anchor of CBS Philly.
"We are excited about adding Blake to our team. He has demonstrated his commitment to public service, and he brings extensive experience that will benefit this office and the Commonwealth in the coming year and beyond," said Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane.
In addition, Attorney General Kane recently appointed Mike Stefan as her Legislative Director and hired Cathryn Hinesley as an Assistant Press Secretary to provide media relations and speech writing.
Renee Martin, who has been Acting Communications Director for several months, will return to her duties as Education and Outreach Director in January. This section of the office is staffed with agents across the state who work to educate Pennsylvanians of all ages about the myriad of services available to them through the Office of Attorney General. Attorney General Kane has selected a permanent Communications Director and more information about the new director will be announced when the employment process is completed.
Chief Operating Officer David Tyler has accepted a position outside the agency. His last day with the Office of Attorney General is December 12. During his tenure, Tyler provided critical assistance in passage of legislation that expanded the state's prescription monitoring program; modernized operational processes and practices throughout the agency, saving more than $7 million; and created a robust Legislative Affairs office that will continue to serve all Pennsylvanians.
"We thank David for his service and wish him the best of luck in his new position. We look forward to our continued working relationship," she said.

Educators wanted to help set Smarter Balanced achievement level descriptors
Once the Smarter Balanced Field Test concludes, achievement levels must be set for next year's fully operational assessment. This process will include an online panel, scheduled for Oct. 6-17, that will allow up to 250,000 K-12 educators, higher education faculty, parents and other interested parties to participate virtually in recommending achievement levels. This is a critical opportunity to collect input from a diverse group of participants and establish consistent measures of progress.
By participating in the online session, panelists will recommend an achievement level score that demonstrates how much students should know or be able to do in order to reach Achievement Level 3 (proficient) at the grade-level standards and to be on track for eventual college and career readiness. It is important to have as many participants as possible, from as many backgrounds as possible, provide these recommendations.
The process of setting achievement levels will establish performance standards that are rigorous, fair and accurate. The recommendations will be based on achievement level descriptors written and approved by Smarter Balanced governing states last year, the claims and targets defined for each content area and grade level, as well as educators' expertise in their content area and experience with students. Acceptance of recommended scores is subject to existing approval processes within the individual consortium states.
The online panel to recommend achievement levels will occur during a two-day window within the October 6–17 time period. It will take panelists up to three hours to complete the orientation process, review test questions, and recommend a score for Achievement Level 3.
Interested participants can register here.
On the registration site, you will be asked to choose the grade and content area (English language arts/literacy or mathematics) in which you want to participate. You will be asked to provide an email address, role and demographic information. You will then be asked to verify your email and select a two-day window for participation.
Registrations must be submitted online by September 19.
It is very important to keep your registration confirmation email. The Department of Education will not be able to retrieve it for you.
Contact Jan Martin, Department of Education, at (605) 773-3246 with questions.

Brzezinski – Russia Must Be Sure Ukraine Won't Join NATO
Former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski stands by his convictions that Ukraine should never join the North Atlantic Alliance if peace and stability in the war-torn country and the region as a whole is to last.
Brzezinski's full recipe for solving the yearlong Ukrainian crisis is the following:
"Ukraine must have a right to freely choose its political identity and forge closer ties with Europe. At the same time, Russia must be reassured that Ukraine will never become a NATO member," Brzezinski said, as quoted by Spiegel Online.
In other words, Ukraine needs to become Finland of sorts. Brzezinski's ideas echo those of Henry Kissinger. In an opinion piece for the Washington Post published in March 2014, the former secretary of state urged the West to understand Russia's concerns and its attachment to Ukraine.
"Ukraine should have the right to choose freely its economic and political associations, including with Europe," Kissinger stated, adding that Kiev should not join NATO and "should pursue a posture comparable to that of Finland

Miles declared his love of cauliflower to Suzi on Saturday. For the following three days, he pulled out the mustard seeds from the drawer and asked what they were for, shaking the little black balls in the jar. By Thursday, we had amassed all the ingredients for Miles and Suzi to cook dinner in a trip to the market, where Miles also professed love of orka and a bunch of other veg we weren't able to cook that day. Upon coming home from school, they headed out to the garden to pick curry leaves, pandan, lime and chilis. Then the cooking lesson commenced. Hope Miles took notes as I was banished from the kitchen! We loved this dinner and lapped up every last morsel.
Check out my spice drawer – isn't it gorgeous!??!

The original car in the 911 RS series, the 1972 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, was built so that Porsche could enter the 1973 European GT Championship (to be homologated for the Group 4 class, a minimum of 500 road legal cars had to be constructed). Production of the RS 2.7 started in early 1972 and its stunning performance made it an immediate hit. More than enough cars were constructed, securing Porsche's entry to the championship. The rules allowed for some modifications to be made to the racing cars compared to the road cars. The most obvious difference between the RS 2.7 and its racing counterpart, the RSR 2.8, was the slight displacement increase (which, combined with a revised compression ratio, yielded an additional 100 bhp!) but other modifications included wider rear wheels, more strongly flared rear wheel arches and uprated brakes (to ensure that the fastest 911 to date stopped as quickly as it went).
At its racing debut at the 1973 Daytona 24 Hours, the RSR 2.8 immediately proved to be the car to beat; the example entrusted to the American private team Gregg/Haywood for this endurance test won unchallenged ahead of the 7 litre Corvettes and 4.4 litre Ferraris. Further success in endurance racing was had at the Sebring 12 Hours and the Targa Florio in the same year. In the European GT Championship, which the RSR 2.8 was originally designed for, it was almost unbeatable, winning six of the nine rounds and the championship. The values of original examples have soared in recent years, making them totally out of reach for many (think upwards of £400k!). The car we detailed in this case is a superb replica, built with the original cars in mind, but at the same time being refined and developed to make it even better. The car is based on a 1972 Porsche 911 2.4T, and mimics a Carrera 2.8 RSR, but with some subtle differences.
Brought to the UK in the 1980s, this car was campaigned in the Porsche historic championships as a Carrera 2.7 RS replica for a number of years with some notable success. From the late 1990s onwards it has been used mainly as a road car, but in 2008 a major rebuild was executed by a known specialist and at this time it evolved into its current specification. The bodywork has been modified using 2.8 RSR specification lightweight panels all round. It is fitted with a full but non-intrusive roll cage and comfortable bucket seats and four point harnesses. The engine was rebuilt in 2008 (to 3.2 litre specification) with new competition parts, and is thought to produce just shy of 300 bhp. The brakes and suspension have also been extensively upgraded and make the ideal balance for fast road or light track use. As a final note, the exhaust comprises an RSR style pair of cans that create an unbeatable and most pleasing soundtrack!

I am a big fan of Edward R. Hamilton, Bookseller.
He's a real guy, and he sells discount books of
all kinds. I like the histories and biographies.
These newspaper-looking catalogs come in the mail,
and I look through them and mark the ones I want,
and mail Ed a check, and a couple weeks later my
books arrive. The company charges you $3.50 for
shipping if you order one paperback or a whole
tubful of dictionaries. It don't matter. They don't
care; it's still just $3.50. They must have a giant
machine that folds cardboard around your book bundle
and staples the package together with these really
big-A$$ staples that you need a screwdriver or a pair
of pliers to get open. Once you're on their mailing
list, they kindly send you free catalogs for the rest
of your life. I'm sure they will send them even after
I'm dead. Edward R. Hamilton is THAT nice a guy.
So, when I'm browsing their catalog, which I often
do while I'm eating my creamy tomato soup and Ritz
crackers for lunch, I can usually find something
interesting. A couple months ago, I got several
hardcover biographies for $24, big-A$$ staples
included. The whole thing is very casual and very
old-fashioned. There is a certain warm and fuzzy
retro feel to writing your name on a good old order
form and stamping an envelope and all that. It sort
of reminds me of mailing in three Kellogg's Corn Flake
box tops and thirty-five cents in coins for a little blue
toy submarine that you could play with in the bathtub.
Or ordering things from the Bazooka Bubble Gum
Or ordering things from the Bazooka Bubble Gum
wrappers (truly RETRO!).
Edward R. Hamilton only ships books to places with
U.S. Zip Codes, so if you're anywhere but here,
you're basically screwed.

Author Notes: Unlike most of their International counterparts, the Berliner, the beignet or the doughnut (just to name a few), my recipe for Romanian traditional gogoși take little time to make and they're not made from risen dough, as there's no yeast and no butter, for that matter. I like to have mine simply powdered with sanding sugar and smeared in home-made jam or even chocolate spread. If you want to go the extra mile, you could stuff yours with jam or chocolate spread, then sprinkle with sanding sugar. Either way, this makes for a quick and delicious sweet snack or dessert. To me, it's also quite childhood evoking and since doughnuts exist in almost all cultures in one form or another, I think they do the trick for almost anyone. Plainly put, they're sugary, deep-fried delight. —East of Kitchen
Serves: 4-6
cup full-fat yoghurt
cups all-purpose flour
teaspoons baking powder
teaspoons orange zest
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
cups sunflower oil
sanding sugar
teaspoons home-made jam or chocolate spread
- In a medium bowl, sieve in the flour and the baking powder. In the bowl of your stand mixer or in a large bowl, with the aid of a handheld mixer, beat the yoghurt and the egg. Add the flour and the baking powder, then the orange zest and the vanilla. Beat well until you obtain a soft and loose composition. Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat and once it's really hot, start taking spoonfuls of the composition and release them into the hot oil. Fry them until they are golden-brown, flipping once, about 2-3 minutes on each side, with the aid of two forks. Remove the gogosi and place them on a plate that's been lined with kitchen paper.
- Stuff them with jam or chocolate spread or just sprinkle them with sanding sugar and serve them plain or alongside jam or chocolate spread.
