Notre Dame will release a perfume for its fans. The new scent was developed by Steiner Collectables and The Cloudbreak Group, who previously developed perfumes for the New York Yankees last year. Specifics about the smell of the fragrance have not yet been released.
The new scent called ND Gold Eau de Toilette for men and Lady Irish Eau De Parfum for women are expected to sell for $62 for a 3.4 ounce bottle. The fragrance will also be available in a shower gel and body lotion for women, men's hair and body wash, aftershave, hand sanitizer, and lip balm.
The Cloudbreak Group marketing director Alyssa Atzeff said that the appeal of the fragrances comes from alumni's emotional connection to their university community. ABC quoted her, "When you wear a fragrance, you are embodying in the essence, status, and spirit of that brand." She continued, "Students, alumni, and fans exhibit a powerful connection to their universities, a passion that can be extended through the creation of the Notre Dame fragrance."
Notre Dame director of licensing Michael Low thought fragrance was the next logical product to offer. He said, "Some consumers enjoy purchasing apparel, some housewares, some jewelry. You ask why [perfume]? I ask 'why not?'"
Low said the scent is subject to some change. "In the end, consumers will determine the success of the various scented projects," he said and went on, "If consumers resist the inaugural scent Cloudbreak and Steiner will have to make appropriate adjustments."
Notre Dame has already licensed other lotions and hand sanitizers, but their work with Cloudbreak Group and Steiner is the first time Notre Dame has worked with companies dedicated solely to the development of a unique scent. The Huffington Post quoted Low in an email, "The University of Notre Dame's practice is to license fewer companies than most other universities, and we encourage our licensing partners to develop innovative products of high quality that are not commonly available in the marketplace."
The Fighting Irish are not the first to have their own fragrance. MLB.com already sells scents for the Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Texas Rangers. Eleven schools have scents from Masik Collegiate Fragrances who specializes in "unique signature scents developed for each university." Penn State, Florida State, Auburn University, and Waseda University in Tokyo among them.

text: Six things to know about glyphosate Food and Beverage Alert Share this 8 AUG 2017 By: Kimberly Hyde Maggie Craig Brooke Killian Kim Stefanie Jill Fogel Teresa Hitchcock Amy Pressman Glyphosate, one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, is under scrutiny by media and plaintiff groups amid recent reports that it is potentially carcinogenic. A key ingredient in consumer and industrial weedkillers, glyphosate eradicates broadleaf plants and grasses. Recently, news outlets have reported that low levels of glyphosate have been detected in a broad range of popular food products, among them ice cream, potato chips, crackers, cereal, honey, corn and corn syrup, fruits, soy, milk, eggs, bread and beer. The notion that glyphosate can be found in food products is not new. But these recent reports have refreshed public interest in the topic. Furthermore, concerned with possible toxicity to consumers, regulators and plaintiff groups are increasingly focusing on the potential link between glyphosate and cancer. The current regulatory landscape is evolving, and we expect that, over the next few years, we will see regulators and plaintiff groups paying substantial attention to this issue. Change is on the way. Now is the time for manufacturers to assess potential risk and exposure relating to glyphosate. Below are six considerations for food and product manufacturers. 1. Conflicting studies have classified glyphosate as "not likely to be carcinogenic to humans" and also a "probable carcinogen." Since glyphosate was registered in 1974, the Environmental Protection Agency and its committees have evaluated its carcinogenic potential, including in 1985, 1986, 1991 and 2015. In 1985, the EPA initially classified glyphosate as a Group C chemical ("Possible Human Carcinogen"), but in 1986, the FIFRA Scientific Panel determined that glyphosate should be classified as a Group D chemical ("Not Classifiable as to Human Carcinogenicity"). Most recently, in 2015, the Cancer Assessment Review Committee classified glyphosate as "Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans," which was then endorsed by the EPA in a September 12, 2016 publication, "Glyphosate Issue Paper." But in 2015, the International Agency for Research (IARC) had issued a statement purporting to reclassify glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans," citing a potential link to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Multiple industry groups have challenged the IARC conclusion, claiming that scientific data was withheld from the studies supporting the statement. 2. EPA is currently re-reviewing glyphosate's carcinogenic potential. EPA is currently reviewing the carcinogenicity of glyphosate and is scheduled to publish the draft glyphosate human health and ecological risk assessment for public comment in the second half of 2017. Glyphosate is also undergoing registration review by the EPA. EPA has set Allowable Daily Intake (ADI) levels for glyphosate in food at 1,750 µg (1.75 mg) per kg of body weight. The European Union's ADI is just 0.3 mg per kg body weight. 3. Glyphosate has been added to California's Proposition 65 list. The varying positions taken by different regulatory authorities make it difficult for subject entities to implement a consistent approach. California's Safe Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, known colloquially as California Proposition 65, requires the State of California to maintain a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. A business is required to warn consumers if its product contains a listed chemical, unless the average daily exposure level poses no significant risk of cancer or reproductive harm. On March 28, 2017, California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment announced that glyphosate would be added to the Proposition 65 list, effective July 7, 2017, notwithstanding industry-sponsored litigation to prevent the listing. California has proposed that the safe harbor level be set at 1,100 µg per day, a stricter intake level than that proposed by EPA's ADI. 4. FDA is beginning to test for glyphosate, but USDA has stopped. Though USDA and FDA regularly test food samples for general pesticide residues, both have historically opted not to test for glyphosate. While media reports and publicly released FOIA documents suggest that USDA planned to resume glyphosate testing in corn syrup as of January 2017, subsequent reports indicate that as of March 2017, USDA has formally decided against testing for glyphosate residues in food moving forward. Meanwhile, in early 2016, FDA began testing for glyphosate residues in soybeans, corn, milk, eggs and popcorn. Though FDA briefly suspended glyphosate testing in Fall 2016, recent reports indicate that as of June 2017, FDA has resumed the glyphosate testing program for corn, soy, eggs and milk. Plaintiffs' bar and activist groups may attempt to capitalize on FDA and USDA activity through increased FOIA requests. 5. Glyphosate is under heightened scrutiny by activist groups following its detection in food products. Increasingly, activist industry groups are targeting glyphosate in food products. A number of articles and reports have been published over the last year calling out manufacturers of products containing excess levels of glyphosate. Reports often mischaracterize the risks associated with glyphosate and fail to properly contextualize the relatively de minimis levels of glyphosate identified in their testing. Importantly, while recent reports have suggested glyphosate residue is present in such goods as ice cream, German beers, feminine hygiene products and bread, the chemical has been present only at amounts substantially below the safe harbor levels proposed by the EPA and California. Based on activist reports, higher-target food products may include honey, corn, corn syrup, fresh and processed fruits, soy, milk and eggs, as well as other genetically engineered foods that use pesticides during processing. 6. Glyphosate is the target of regulations outside the United States. Regulatory authorities outside the United States are also taking notice of glyphosate. In Canada, for instance, the continued registration, sale of and use of products containing glyphosate has recently been reviewed and approved. On April 28, 2017, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency rendered its Re-evaluation Decision in relation to glyphosate and concluded that "the products containing glyphosate do not present unacceptable risks to human health or the environment when used according to the revised product label directions." Furthermore, Canada conducted a health risk assessment which concluded that glyphosate is not genotoxic and is unlikely to pose a risk of cancer to humans. Despite this finding, Health Canada has imposed new mandatory labelling requirements on products containing glyphosate, obligating reference to specific statements including mandatory buffer zones, timing for re-entry into sprayed areas and limits of application to areas where the potential to spread to areas of human activity is minimal. In the EU, the European Chemicals Agency's Committee for Risk Assessment considered glyphosate's classification as a carcinogen after a German proposal recommended an additional classification due to target organ toxicity with repeated exposure. The Committee agreed to maintain glyphosate's classification as a substance that causes serious eye damage and is toxic to aquatic life. However, the European Commission concluded that the available scientific evidence did not meet regulatory requirements to classify glyphosate as a carcinogen. This determination is currently under review by the European Commission. Later this year, it will be taken into account when the Commission and the member states consider whether to approve the use of glyphosate as an active substance in pesticides. Prudence in a time of change In sum, this is a period of rapid change around the regulation of glyphosate. Prudent businesses should consider steps to assess their potential risks.

Blenheim Palace (/ˈblɛnəm/) is a monumental stately home situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. It is the seat of the Dukes of Marlborough. The palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and circa 1724. UNESCO recognised the palace as a World Heritage Site in 1987.
Its construction was originally intended to be a gift to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough from a grateful nation in return for military triumph against the French and Bavarians at the Battle of Blenheim. However, it soon became the subject of political infighting, which led to Marlborough's exile, the fall from power of his duchess, and irreparable damage to the reputation of the architect Sir John Vanbrugh.
Designed in the rare, and short-lived, English Baroque style, architectural appreciation of the palace is as divided today as it was in the 1720s. It is unique in its combined usage as a family home, mausoleum and national monument. The palace is also notable as the birthplace and ancestral home of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
The building of the palace was a minefield of political intrigue by Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. Following the palace's completion, it became the home of the Churchill family for the following 300 years, and various members of the family have in that period brought various changes, in the interiors, park and gardens. At the end of the 19th century, the palace and the Churchills were saved from ruin by an American marriage. Thus, the exterior of the palace remains in good repair and exactly as completed.

When Pope Benedict XVI published his first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est ("God is Love"), it seemed that the overriding reaction in the media was a great big yawn. God is love? Is this news? Within the Church, reactions were mixed, too. Some wished Pope Benedict had used his first encyclical to clamp down on liberal abuses; others wished he had used the opportunity to liberalize the Church. Did Pope Benedict miss a cue here?
I propose that he spoke profoundly on cue here. The expectations greeting the pope's encyclical were spoken, in part, from a sensed need for healing in the Church, healing of division, healing of hurt. But there is no healing in the Church, ultimately, if we do not remember the essential proclamation that gives the Church its raison d'être. Listen, for a moment, to what the pope proclaimed:
"We have come to believe in God's love. … Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction" (No. 1). This encounter is always "news," Pope Benedict is saying, it is the good news of the Gospel, is always generating a "new horizon" beyond the gridlock of division and the seemingly closed circle of hurt.
Pope Benedict's first encyclical was an encyclical in basic evangelization that aimed to forge a connection between evangelization and healing, or rather to remind us that evangelization and healing are intrinsically connected. The "encounter" with the Person of Jesus Christ, the encounter at which evangelization aims, is the intrinsically healing moment and the source of all healing. It is "loving personal concern … the love kindled by the Spirit of Christ" that offers people "refreshment and care for their souls" (No. 28).
Evangelization has the first priority, then, because it is a call to ourselves as Church to return to the sources of healing, to the God who is Love.
And yet, if there truly is an intrinsic connection between evangelization and healing, then it must also work the other way around. Divisions and hurts within the Church are blocks to evangelization, and if they are not healed, the Church's energy for evangelization can be dissipated. Pope Benedict reminds us that love of neighbor is "constantly renewed" from the "encounter with the Eucharistic Lord," but conversely, that this encounter acquires "its realism and depth" in our "service to others." If this service is not rendered, it impedes the encounter with the Eucharistic Lord. Following his own advice, Pope Benedict did undertake significant gestures of apology and accountability, as a service of healing, just as he also took up gestures of dialogue across some of the divisions in which the Church is implicated. The enduring legacy of his pontificate will be the reminder of the intrinsic connection between evangelization and healing, and that this intrinsic connection arises out of the nature of evangelization.
John Cavadini is director of the Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. For more reflections, see Pope Benedict tribute section, Pages 9-24.

ORONO, Maine - The Black Bears fell to second-ranked Boston College on Saturday evening by a score of 6-3. The Black Bears participated in the 7th annual Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer sponsored by FairPoint Communications. With the loss, Maine falls to 4-19-3, 1-12-2 in Hockey East while Boston College improves to 20-4-2, 13-2-1 in Hockey East.
The Black Bears and the Eagles skated to a 0-0 draw in the first period with Boston College holding the 14-3 shot advantage. After the first period, the Black Bears are 0-1 on the power play while the Eagles are 0-2. Kelsey MacSorley (Stratford, Ontario) picked up a holding penalty at 10:40 in the first and Hailey Browne (Oakville, Ontario) got tagged with the hooking penalty at 16:57 after bringing a BC skater to the ground in what could have been a one on one opportunity for the Eagles.
The Black Bears took advantage of the power play opportunity that carried over from the first period. Shawna Lesperance (Belle River, Ontario) notched her third goal of the season just 21 seconds into the second period after Brittany Dougherty (Chesterfield, Michigan) snapped a shot at the Eagle goalie. Lesperance was able to put the loose puck home after a scrum ensued in front of the crease. Dougherty registered her 18th assist of the season while Jennifer More (Deloraine, Manitoba) tallied her seventh.
The Eagles would go on to score four unanswered goals to end the second period with a 4-1 lead. Alex Carpenter got Boston College on the board at 2:57 on the power play opportunity and notched her second goal of the game at 5:22. Melissa Bizzari took advantage of the power play at 11:48 and Lexi Bender registered the final goal of the period at 14:44.
The Black Bears held a slight 11-8 shot advantage over the Eagles in the second period. Maine went 1-2 on the power play in the second while Boston College went 2-2.
Third period saw both teams registering two goals for a final score of 6-3.
Missy Denk (Poplar Grove, Illinois) picked up her second goal of the season at 7:45 of the period on a power play. Brittney Huneke (Hastings, Minnesota) took a shot from the top of the offensive zone but before the puck met the goalie, Denk was able to smack it out of the air to find the open five-hole. Huneke notched her second assist of the season.
The Eagles would register the next two goals off the sticks of Dru Burns and Kate Leary.
Lesperance notched her second goal of the game and fourth of the season with 34 seconds left in regulation on a power play opportunity. Kelly McDonald (Ancaster, Ontario) tallied her fourth assist of the season while Kayla Kaluzny (Calgary, Alberta) picked up her seventh.
Brittany Ott (St. Clair Shores, Michigan) saw her 12th loss of the season at the hands of the Eagles. Ott allowed six goals while posting 34 saves in the 6-3 loss. She now sits at 4-12-3 between the pipes for the Black Bears.
The Eagles held a 40-25 shot advantage over the Black Bears. Both teams went 3-5 on the power play opportunity.
Maine returns to action next weekend as it travels to Vermont for a two game series. The first game will take place on Saturday, February 9 at 2:00 PM followed by game two on Sunday, February 10 at 2:00 PM.

Gastrological Forecast
Oh, just go ahead and eat and drink like the world might end. Because if you're like most people, you really do only have a few days left before the good times have all gone bye-bye. Come January, your "new life" begins and you have to start exercising and eating right, quit smoking and switch to light beer. Yup, it'll be All Bran all the time in 2005. You have lots of leafy green vegetables and grilled chicken breasts, wheatgrass shots and iced herbal tea to look forward to. Are you crying into your beer yet? Your 40-ounce malt liquor beer? Just think how much tail you're going to pull when you belly up to the bar and order a Michelob Ultra. Very sexy, tough guy. Ah, and now the tears come. Shed those tears now my dears, so you won't have runny mascara for the big New Year's party. You know, the party at which you're going to eat handfuls of bacon-wrapped cocktail wieners dipped in chile con queso, washing them down with Jim Beam straight from the bottle and a chaser of oatmeal stout. Stick that hand deep into the candy jar on the receptionist's desk and gobble up every last chocolate truffle you can dig out of your nephew's discarded Christmas stocking. Because in the words of that somber zombie movie 28 Days Later, "the end is really f-ing nigh."

Chef Recipes
Chardonnay-braised lamb shank with leek risotto, root vegetables and natural reduction
From Chef James P. O'Brien III of Milagro Grill and Brewery
James O'Brien is a restless traveler. Milagro's new chef grew up in St. Louis, but has since worked in Memphis, Louisville and Atlanta, and attended culinary school in Vermont. O'Brien's wife was eight months pregnant when he decided to quit his high-paying corporate chef job and take a chance on relocating to the Southwest. After six months spent cooking at the Sheraton Old Town, O'Brien decided to settle down in the kitchen at Milagro Grill and Brewery in Bernalillo. "I walked through the door and my jaw dropped," the chef says of his first visit to the restaurant. "I thought hands down this was the most beautiful restaurant I'd seen since I've been in New Mexico." Milagro's menu, on the other hand, presented an inviting challenge. To O'Brien, it looked like the menu had been written by three different people—none of whom agreed with each other. He started work immediately on a dinner menu that would present a clear vision of elegant but rustic food; dishes that are creative but approachable. This Chardonnay-braised lamb shank is one of the chef's favorite dishes from his new menu, which debuted just a few weeks ago. The crispness of the Chardonnay helps to counter any gaminess in the meat so that even diners unfamiliar with lamb will be wooed.

Ohio 50 cents Ci i * officials sfc | ng lightly around the deal to widen road by QLEN MILLER News-Times reporter The city is the middle of sensitive negotiations with Lorain officials over the widening of a heavily traveled section of Cooper Foster I'.irk Road between Rl 58 and N. Main Street The mayor met with Lorain community development director Sandy 1'rikloff and his staff for two hours bcc. 6 in an effort to work out shared funding for the project. The only conclusion reached was both cities are strapped for money. Even the Lorain County Engineer's Office has claimed it doesn't have money because it already has committed funds for county road projects, according to mayor John Higgins. About a month ago, Lorain officials announced plans to widen Cooper Foster to five lanes at die intersection with Rt. 58. The widening only will be done about 300 feet cast and west of the intersection, not along the often congested half-mile-long section between Rt. 58 and N. Main Street Higgins said he and other city officials would like to see it widened to at least three lanes to help relieve congestion. Both he and Lorain officials concede traffic is likely to increase with the development of a planned unit development (PUD) of single homes on the vacant Lorain land west of Supcr-K. Lorain plans to widen Cooper Foster Park Road as far as a traffic light located at the store's southern entrance. Higgins has said this may relieve traffic, but not the additional traffic created by the housing development. The development will be located opposite Terra Lane. Lorain has allocated $972,500 for the project, including $50,000 contributed by PUD developer Bill Rowland. The negotiations involve how much each city is willing to contribute for the additional three lanes. Higgins said he has talked about the project during a brief meeting with Lorain mayor Joe Koziura, although money remains the chief stumbling block. "The cost figures are not working out exactly as we would like them. We would have to pay the larger share,'' the mayor said. "We don't have all the engineering data yet, so we are trying to figure how far they can go with the money they do have." Amherst would use street levy funds, although that will disrupt its repaving program. In addition to the widening, money also has to be set aside for the rehabilitation of the Jackson Street bridge in 1999. "So, we are going to have to be prudent or we are not going to have a street program next year," Higgins added. "We can't neglect the rest of the streets when the money comes from a voted levy." Congestion at the intersection with N. Main Street has been a particular sore spot between the two cities. Several years ago, Lorain city council withdrew an agreement with Amherst to help pay for the construction of tum lanes and traffic signals. Earlier this fall, the city placed a flashing warning light at the corner because of a high accident rate at the intersection. A traffic study now being done for the city may enable it to get a federal grant for the purchase of traffic lights. Anyce Dawson and her husband, Bill, enjoy a moment together at home. Despite her own illness, Anyce Dawson inspires all by GLEN MILLER News-Times reporter Anyce Dawson is leading a courageous batde against an ominous foe, terminal cancer. Her weapons are many — weekly chemotherapy, herbs, a vegetarian diet, a positive attitude, humor, love and a refusal to give up her life. Other cancer patients see her as a source of hope and courage, a role model for them in their battles against ..jhe life-threatening disease. That's the reason the Lorain County branch of the American Cancer Society recently honored her with its Special Courage Award. Most people see it as little more than a plaque on the living room wall of Dawson's Colombia Drive home. But to her, it represents the way the 51-year-old woman has lived her life since being diagnosed with ovarian cancer two years ago. And, it's the way she intends to defeat her foe, whatever the odds. "I've really been quite at peace," she said. "At first I thought there would come a time when I would get devastated about it, but I haven't," Dawson said. "You have to think about the positives, not the negatives." She did cry, but only once. Her tears came after she experienced weakness following the first of four rounds of chemotherapy. Since then Dawson has looked for the "good things" in life, people and the world around her. She tells other cancer patients to do the same, no matter what their prognosis is and regardless of how they feel. "I just always tell people to never give up hope because there is always hope, no matter what the doctor may say. None of us know what God has planned," she said. She encourages patients to watch funny or happy TV shows or movies, read positive books, and, most important, read or learn everything they can about their illness. Her health has surprised her doctors, given the advanced stage in which the cancer was discovered. They have never used the word "terminal" even though the cancer wasn't discovered until it was in its fourth stage, nearly the most severe stage. Her illness began in 1996 when she began experiencing CONTINUED on page 3 Walking the dog's more than an exercise by QLEN MILLER News-Times reporter If somebody would tell Bela and Cindy Kalassay to take a walk, they'd probably do it, only with a dog or cat The Kalassays are among the hundreds of Americans who have embarked on self-employment by walking dogs and pet sitting, s small but growing career. You might say the Kalassays actually want their lives lo go to the dogs — and cats, too — for profit The Amherst Township couple are the owners of Happy Tails, one of perhaps two or three pet sitting services in Lorain County and the only one in the Amherst area. It's a side job for both, something that will let them put sway extra money for retirement.

There are many people who pet structuring and what not, you never know where you're going to be working. So I wanted to get something going we both could work at and enjoy," he explained. "Besides, we've both had pets all our lives since we've been children." At first the Kalassays weren't sure what kind of small business they wanted to pursue. She is a longtime craft-maker and he is good with tools and his hands. But both wanted to do something different, something they both enjoy. After paging through dozens of business magazines and seeking advice from the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce, they thought a seven-day-a-weck pet care service offered the best potential. "It's largely untapped around here," she added. Amherst and Lorain County are far from being hustling and bustling metropolitan areas. Regardless, long workdays and busy schedules leave many pets alone for hours on end with little exercise and companionship.

"We not against the mentally ill but we feel this is an imtppiopriaje place because its right in the middle of our ivsighbochood." Daniel Orr said. More man s half dozen rendenu earlier this week to snd plan their opposition to the group home, which opened in early July without their knowledge.

Dolores and Marc Kingsley moved to Amherst in August from a westside Cleveland neighborhood. She spent last week roaming about Amherst looking for a store where she could buy several toys she plans to donate to the Salvation Army. She and her husband spend every Christmas distributing food to the needy and toys to underprivileged children. "We could go back into Cleveland, but since this is our new home, we're looking what we can do here just to bring a little cheer into the lives of the unfortunate," she explained. "It's what Christmas is all about and it gives you a sense of giving." Last year she spent the holiday in a Cleveland soup kitchen preparing turkey, ham and goodies the homeless seldom taste. The year before that, the Kingsleys visited their son and daughter-in-law in England, where he is in the Army. They spent Christmas Eve helping feed needy people. "We've been helping people for 14 years now, so I guess you'd call it a tradition," she said. Like the Kingsleys, Lyle Hodges and his wife Lynda, both 25, are also new to Amherst An aircraft mechanic, they moved from rural Wisconsin. . Lynda, who is pregnant, hopes to pass on to her child an unusual tradition started many years ago by her grandparents. She said her grandparents always had a hard time getting her mother and uncle to go to bed Christmas Eve so they could put presents beneath the tree. Her grandparents devised a scheme that would have made Santa proud. - About 8 p.m., the children were served hot chocolate and told to keep their eyes at the window looking for an elf and eight tiny reindeers. No TV was allowed on Christmas Eve back in the fifties. The hot chocolate and window watching enduced sleep in the youngsters. By 10 p.m., they had slipped into dream land and by 10:30 grandma and grandpa had slipped the presents under the tree.

Is there a way to block our forum spammer/shoe salesman, jqyshoes?
He or she could at least contribute an eggcorn or two along with the spam!
Feeling quite combobulated.
The administrator removes them when he becomes aware of them.
Cool. I can hardly see the forest for the trees anymore. :-)
Feeling quite combobulated.
The shoe salesman should shoo!
I'm going to go barefoot for the rest of the day in protest! :-)
Feeling quite combobulated.
Okay, it's safe to wear shoes (or carry purses) again—I've deleted our spam. And after that I went rummaging through the deserted back offices here, looking for that darn manual. And waddya know…. Most of the time, it turns out that I don't have the access to do whatever we feel needs to be done on the site. But in this case I actually found clear directions for banning offending IPs, so if the pesky Prada peddler strikes again, we'll be ready for him.
um. at the moment there are several spam threads preceding this one in the list. Lol. Guess it didn't work.
No, we can't tell yet whether it worked. As I said in the earlier post, I only figured out how to ban IPs after I deleted the spam—which means I didn't have any IPs to ban. This morning's new batch gave me an IP to work with, so we'll see if they're back tomorrow. And spammers typically work with multiple IPs—they may just jump to a new one on me

Here's my thought process. Seems like the first couple pours are wasted unless you are a yeast lover. Then I saw that new style keg that has a concave bottom to keep yeast away from the center. How about trimming the bottom inch or so off the dip tube? Has anyone tried that? Thoughts?
I started cold crashing 3-4 days before filling the keg and that cut the losses down to about 1 pint. Pints 2-3 aren't crystal clear but they are not mud either. Of course I never bottle before 2 weeks in fermenter and usually wait 3 weeks. I also drink sparingly until the beer has been in keg for 3 weeks (usually I try a pint at the 1 week and 2 week marks).
My last two to keg I racked with a siphon rather than a drain spigot. That has helped. The current fermenting batches were all brewed on the same day. They are going to get four days at 32° before racking to a bottling bucket. That will help. I'll eventually find my method to crystal clarity all the time.The finished product, after those yeasty pours, is pretty fine IIDSSMY. I am working on making more, or all of it fine.
The first pint is a vitamin supplement. The second and third pints are rewards for taking my vitamins.I cut a gas dip tube once because it wouldn't fit in my stoopid keg. That's a hard metal - used an entire dremel cutting disc to get through that little thing.

Kimono Tee with patch pocket
Added Mar 10, 2012
by cynthia-1
Wollongong, Aust...
My third go at pixelink's Kimono Tee pattern, this time using the satin left over from The wedding dress project
I used the matte 'wrong side' of the satin fabric to make most of the tee, using the shiny satin side only at the collar and for some of the patch pocket. I used a self-made bias binding from the shiny satin, for the neckline. Unfortunately, the bias neckline puckered and does not sit flat (boo.) I drafted the patch pocket from scratch and added a buttonhole closure. The vintage shell button was sourced from Mum's collection. Again, I omitted the bottom casing and drawstring tie, and instead shortened the tee and added a 2cm hem.

That grey-brown shit that accumulates between your toes. Primarily composed of dead skin cells, sock fluff and sweat.

Ep 1... I dunno, maybe I'm just used to UtaPri, but wasn't this episode weirdly low-tension? I mean, girl moves into a huge mansion to live with an army of stinking rich pretty boys who keep flirting with her (sekuhara in the very first evening? come on, Ren! Kaname! uh, I'll just call him not!Ren), she gets carried, hugged, kissed, has shirtless service, twincest BL service (complete with kiss), finds out she's now the sister of a super-popular idol, etc... I would've expected something more lively and exciting. Even the ending is pretty meh, dancing aside.
Aside of that, the show knows what it's doing. The girl? yeah, whatever, let's just shiptease the twins instead.
(As far as I'm concerned she should get together with Iori, for reasons that have nothing to do with this anime. Although it seems Yuusuke is going to be the lucky main guy.)
The characters are the usual suspects (pretty much all of the usual suspects...), the chara designs are mostly pleasing to the eye, and the seiyuu are of course doing a good job, so yeah, I'll watch this for the pretty and the ear candy.
(And that house. I'd love to live in that house with or without the pretty boys.)
That Louis guy was irritating, though... they really shouldn't have him speak like that in an anime.

At first I thought it would be funny to have a talking animal like in Tamako Market, but this rat is simply annoying with his bitchy overprotective attitude. I just know he's going to be a major cockblock throughout the entire series.

Too many characters in one episode, I actually got a bit stressed seeing so much male. Toriumi is using his Cecil voice... God why. And Suwabe is also using his Ren voice.
Yuki Kaji's character OTOH was incredibly cute, he stole every scene he appeared. I'll watch one more episode I guess and hope that Hosoya's character has more screentime (I like that he's voicing a tsundere)

This might be fun in a So Bad It's Good way that UtaPri was...at least Chi seems like she's not a doormat after telling off MonkRen. And the squirrel might be fun.
Speaking of UtaPri, I recognize that the twin with the glasses as Toriumi...was the white haired twin Otoya? Sounded like him.
Oh well...see what happens. I like Ono's character, Glasses Twin and the hairdresser bro so far....

Oh my gosh...I could barely get through that.
It feels like Amnesia all over again. A MC female with little to no personality, a bunch of boys who all have names, ages, and colors, but screw it, I can't remember them! They're all tropes with little personality outside of that. And then there is the hated talking animal mascot! So we have a soft-spoken fragile glass flower of a girl with no personality, with guys with no personality and the only character remotely interesting is in all actuality is the darn squirrel!!!
I will give this another episode, maybe two, but this anime has dropped way down on my list, and if it doesn't begin to show some effort, will be dropped altogether.
I give this first episode a 3.8/10.

Practice Theory and Work Task Performance: How Are They Related and How Can They Contribute to Study of Information Practices
Katriina Byström and Annemaree Lloyd
Monday, 6:30pm
Our aim is to introduce an emerging understanding of how practice theory can be used to frame the analysis of (work) task-based research. This analytical work is tentative, but has the capacity of furthering task-based research by addressing the dialogical relationships and embodied performances that constitute practice. We argue that analyses of task as a constitute element of practice can contribute to a rich discussion of knowledge construction in information studies.

Rihanna on dating Brown: A mistake? My mistake
NEW YORK (AP) -- Rihanna says if dating Chris Brown is mistake, she's OK with that.
The singer tells Rolling Stone in an interview that dating Brown makes her happy and "if it's a mistake, it's my mistake." She adds that she's ready to go public with her singer-boyfriend.
Four years ago, Brown attacked Rihanna and was charged with a felony. But rumors about their relationship emerged after the singers collaborated on songs and appeared in photos together.
Rihanna says she knows that her history with 23-year-old Brown is "not the cutest puzzle in the world." The 24-year-old also vows that Brown is "disgusted" by what he did in the past. She says the two have matured and they "know exactly what we have now, and we don't want to lose that."
The magazine's new issue hits newsstands Friday.

Plan 9 does not have a lot of flashy demos and is not intended for home users. It is not intended for use by novices or as a starter operating system. Instead, it was intended as a platform for trying out new algorithms, new methodologies, and new technologies and it does these very well. Its development tools and documentation assume a fair amount of familiarity with UNIX fundamentals.
Similarities to and differences from UNIX
Plan 9 is similar to UNIX in that is has a kernel, a command shell, and various C compilers. It also has man pages and runs standard UNIX applications like awk, emacs, cp, ls, and others listed here. It is different from UNIX in that the people who wrote it had 20 years of kernel and user experience to re-think and redesign the entire operating system. One major difference from UNIX and most other operating systems is that all major applications understand 9P, the underlying, distributed file system protocol. And because everything under Plan 9 is part of the file system, and the file system is distributed, everything under Plan 9 is distributed, and easily accessible as a file object.
Instead of the X11 window management system, Plan 9 has Rio. Rio is small, intuitive, and easy to program. A Plan 9 contributor, Geoff Collyer, wrote a graphics front end for the Reversi game in 469 lines of C code. That's impressive. Because Rio sits on top of 9P, Rio itself is a distributed windowing system.
UNIX's name server, BIND, has been replaced by ndb, which is easy to configure, much more secure, and is the partial basis for Plan 9's powerful, distributed name space.
Plan 9 does not use UNIX sockets for inter-process and inter-computer communications. Instead, all communications are done through 9P, the distributed file system paradigm. Protocol stacks and network cards are implemented as file system objects. Ethernet packet types are simply subdirectories. Plan 9 does have an extremely robust implementation of TCP/IP including IPV6. The abstraction of network communications separates ordinary programs from the gory details of network connection specifics. New protocols and transport media can be added or changed with virtually no impact on basic applications.
How is Plan 9 Better?
It was designed as a faster, cleaner, more-lightweight multi-processor operating system with better security in all aspects of operation. It uses lightweight processes that were designed for fine-grained resource control across forks. The thread library uses no kernel support and this makes it very quick. Plan 9's system libraries were built with multi-processing and Unicode character support from day 1. In fact, UTF-8 was invented for Plan 9. These libraries, in conjunction with a new generation of high performance Plan 9 compilers, make application development very fast and very reliable.
The Plan 9 security model is quite different from other mainstream operating systems. It has no root, administrator, or super user. Instead, local host owners have privileges over their own machines and can join various network groups that extend more privileges and access to resources such as printers or the CPU. Authentication is done using the Secstore client application. The Secstore server exchanges encrypted passwords or hardware passkeys, and stores sensitive information in memory.
Distributing resources is especially easy. Want to use someone else's sound card? Simply import their /dev/audio. Remember that everything in Plan 9 is a file system object, including multimedia devices. Want to debug a process running on someone else's machine? Simply import its /proc file.
Because all distributed resources have been rewritten for simplicity and efficiency, network administrators love it for its ease of use. Developers love Plan 9 because its libraries are elegant and the compilers are clean and fast.
How is Plan 9 worse?
As with other innovative operating systems, Plan 9 suffers from a lack of commercial support, a lack of device driver support, and a lack of mainstream applications. When this article was written Plan 9 did not have a web browser, it does not have support for VMWare virtualization (but does for Xen), it did not have accelerated video card support other than GForce and some Radeons, it supports only a few sound cards beyond AC97 and Soundblaster. It did not have office productivity software. And it did not support Windows compatibility through Wine.
Why use Plan 9?
Plan 9 offers only a few advantages to single workstation users running in isolation. Its advantages grow rapidly as the number of networked Plan 9 workstations increase. If you are developing a large distributed computing application, using Plan 9 makes a lot of sense. If, for instance, you are performing large-scale scientific computing that needs to run across a large number of computers you are faced with a variety of difficult challenges. A particular problem in large node computing is that the failure of a single node can bring your whole computing cluster to a halt. This problem is increasingly likely as the number of processors increase. Consider that a computer node with a mean time between failure of 10,000 hours (or about 1.15 years), when used in a cluster of 10,000 nodes will fail on average of once an hour. In other words, your large, expensive super-computer will crash once an hour. Plan 9 provides the basis for writing processes that can be mirrored or replicated in more efficient ways and can become fault tolerant. Without increased fault tolerance, large scale computing just doesn't scale well.

Psst–Wanna Buy a Counterfeit Club?
Golf Equipment Makers Are Fighting Crooks Who Sell Knockoff Clubs, Balls and Grips
The connection between golf and the erectile-dysfunction industry, well-known to anyone who watches the game on television, apparently goes deeper than we imagined.
Last month, federal customs agents and state police raided a warehouse in Columbia, S.C., seizing $3.6 million in counterfeit pharmaceuticals, almost entirely consisting of two products endlessly pitched to the golf demographic, Viagra and Cialis.
Agents also seized a large quantity of counterfeit golf clubs and components in the raid. In fact, a crucial tip that led to the bust was the interception a few days earlier at the Charlotte, N.C., international airport of hundreds of fake Golf Pride grips and high-end shafts, sent from China and packaged for delivery to the Columbia warehouse.
The counterfeiting of golf merchandise—clubs and balls, but also bags and apparel—is a whopping business. A working group established to fight counterfeiting nine years ago by the five biggest golf manufacturers estimates that fake golf gear approaches 10% of the legitimate market world-wide.
Big raids inside the U.S., like the one in South Carolina, are rare, however, because 95% of the U.S. counterfeit golf trade is online, with the products delivered directly to individual consumers, according to the group. Almost all of that fake golf gear is manufactured, assembled and shipped from China.
By one barometer—the amount of counterfeit goods seized—the group has had great success in recent years. Last spring, the U.S. Golf Manufacturers Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group shut down more than 200 websites selling goods into the U.S. market. Chinese authorities collaborating with the collective raided three dozen counterfeiting operations in China last year, seizing more than one million fake clubs.
"The difficulty with counterfeiting is you never know where you really stand—U.S. Customs examines only a small portion of the goods entering the country," said Joe Nauman, executive vice president for corporate and legal affairs at Acushnet, which makes Titleist balls and clubs and FootJoy shoes. "My overall sense is that the problem is as big or bigger than it's ever been."
On March 5, Nauman himself participated in a raid in China that illustrates the difficulty of finding and then shutting down counterfeiters. The sting took place in a dingy residential district of five-story apartment blocks on the outskirts of Dongguan, a city that is part of the Pearl River megalopolis extending from nearby Guangzhou to Hong Kong, 60 miles away. An overwhelming majority of the world's golf clubs are manufactured in this region. It's also the hotbed of golf counterfeiting.
The tip that led to this particular raid, the 14th in Dongguan in the past year, came from a local cop. He passed it along to private investigators that the U.S. working group employs in China. Since the neighborhoods in this part of Dongguan, which is also China's sex-trade capital, are suspicious of outsiders, the investigators had to find a local whom they could pay to provide surveillance. They then passed his intel along to China's Administration for Industry and Commerce, which coordinated the seizure with local police.
On the morning of the raid, Nauman and three others, including Stephen Gingrich, an executive from Srixon/Cleveland Golf, waited in a car a few blocks away until police secured the area. When they walked down the trash-strewn alley to the unmarked door of the counterfeiters' lair, Nauman narrowly avoided stepping on a huge dead rat.
Inside, in a space not much bigger than a three-car garage, was a single shaft-painting machine, a work station where clubs were cut to size and grips attached, and racks containing 40,000 to 50,000 shafts and 5,000 clubheads. Even valued at counterfeit levels, the seized merchandise might have sold for more than $1 million. The husband and wife who ran the operation, and lived in an apartment across the alley, employed just three additional workers.
Investigators are still trying to determine where the finished clubs were headed, but many seemed destined for retail stores in China. Six of the completed fake Callaway sets, for instance, were in Callaway bags with Callaway head covers and accompanied by a Callaway travel cover. This is how the dodgy off-course shops that cluster outside legitimate golf resorts in China, such as nearby Mission Hills, often sell counterfeit clubs to tourists. Over the last few years, the U.S. working group has been successful in pushing Chinese authorities to drive fake golf goods out of high-end malls and most legitimate retail outlets.
They have had far less success rooting out the foundries where the fake club components are made. The Chinese have hit only two foundries in the last three years. "There is still a certain level of local protectionism involved," said Nauman. "As far as we can see, there's been no slowdown in production." More than two million fake golf clubs a year enter the world market, the group estimates.
It's easy to imagine big club-forging plants as easy targets for interdiction, but in fact, counterfeiters can churn out club components in surprisingly tiny, dispersed spaces. Using a legitimate club head—or even a photograph—as a model, rapid-prototyping technology can spit out CAD files and create a master for a driver or iron head quickly and inexpensively. As for the actual foundry work, it can be done in a room as small as 20 feet by 20 feet.
From the exterior, the best counterfeit golf clubs these days can be hard to differentiate from legitimate clubs. "These guys have become very good at what they're doing," said Kerry Kabase, vice president of purchasing for Edwin Watts Golf. The old telltale signs, such as irregular paint and misshapen hosels, with glue oozing out, are less common.
At a recent golf-industry show, however, the U.S. working group displayed examples of counterfeit clubheads sawed in half, and you can see the type of irregularities that impact performance: irregular interior walls, or supposedly hollow iron-head cavities that instead are solid steel. Performance is erratic. Some fake clubs may play decently well for high-handicappers, others less so. One common flaw is inconsistent performance among irons in a set.
There are virtually no counterfeit clubs or balls sold at authorized retail outlets in the U.S., the group says. If you're shopping online, however, beware any club set whose price seems too good to be true—especially if the order will be shipped from China.

Another school year has started at Andrews University. Students once again fill the residence halls, sidewalks, classrooms, and cafeteria. This year, though, the campus is even busier than usual.
Final reports reveal that the 2007-2008 enrollment numbers have reached a record high, with 3,221 students enrolled overall at the University. This is a headcount increase of 500 students since 2001. Additionally, the new freshmen population is the largest Andrews has seen in ten years with 337 new freshmen enrolled. The new freshmen population increased this year by 47 students. A rapid increase of this size has not occurred since 2002. While the overall graduate school population decreased by 1% (or 18 students), the percentage of students enrolled in doctoral programs increased by 5%.
"Thanks to a challenge by Dr. Heather Knight, our new provost, and an Ad Hoc Enrollment Growth Committee, we've been challenged to grow the student population, including significant increases in our new freshmen group in the undergraduate programs," says Stephen Payne, vice president for Enrollment Management. "We've worked across campus to better communicate with and serve our prospective students. The academic advisors, residence halls, Student Financial Services...everyone has done more this year than ever before. We want to continue to streamline the registration and enrollment process, designing it with students in mind." This work is now paying off.
On Sunday, August 19, just over a week before classes started, 305 freshmen and new students made their way through First Stop, a central location where Andrews University comes together to verify students' current information as well as provide students with a schedule for the upcoming week of orientation programs.
Wednesday evening of that same week brought the start of the All Fired Up! program. Through worships, concerts, and family group activities--which organized new students into groups that met, worked, and ate together during All Fired Up! and beyond--these new students were able to get acquainted with each other, their teachers and staff, the Andrews University campus, and the surrounding area.
On Friday, nearly two hundred students and family group leaders chose to work in the community through service activities including a beach clean-up, a fire truck wash, and a Habitat for Humanity project. "These students were very involved throughout the All Fired Up! activities. They have the capacity to make a real impact on the campus community over the next few years," says Steve Yeagley, assistant dean for Student Life and coordinator of the All Fired Up! program.
Don May, assistant dean for the College of Arts and Sciences and director of general education and student retention, reports that retention rates--the number of first year students that return--at Andrews look to remain steady, as well. Overall, retention rates are generally predicted to be around 71%, due to Andrews University's admission standards and the type of university it is. Since early this decade, Andrews University has consistently exceeded this expected retention rate and this year appears to be no different.
May observes, "The new students this year are incredible. Even as you pass them on the sidewalk, they are engaged, thoughtful and friendly. The University faculty, staff and students are more focused on what Andrews can be. We're off to a year where God is blessing, and Andrews can be proud of itself."

Voters in Spencer and East Brookfield overwhelmingly turned down an override request that would have funded the Spencer East Brookfield Regional School District budget for fiscal 2014.
Both communities approved the measure at their town meetings, but in the privacy of the ballot box, things were much different, with each town seeing a margin of about two to one or more in opposition.
"I would say that was overwhelming," Spencer Chairman of Selectmen Gary Woodbury said.
The school committee had requested a $2,086,697 override in order to fully fund a $24.7 million fiscal 2014 budget. East Brookfield taxpayers would have been responsible for $405,585 of that amount, with Spencer residents paying $1,681,094.
Now, the school committee has 30 days to set up a district meeting that will allow voters from both towns to vote together on a budget.
That news has local officials concerned because a budget approved at that meeting will not be contingent on an override. That could mean deep cuts for municipal government or the possibility that an override would be needed to maintain services such as police, public works, fire departments and Town Hall operations.
"The voters have spoken four times, twice in each town, and said that the assessments are too much for the taxpayers to handle," Spencer Town Administrator Adam D. Gaudette said after the vote Tuesday night. "I'm hoping the school committee will revisit the assessments, and they may have to make some hard decisions."
In Spencer, passage of the override would have caused the owner of a home valued at $200,000 to pay an additional $340 per year. In East Brookfield, the owner of a $250,000 home would have been assessed about $450 more annually.
Mr. Gaudette said the school committee must schedule a regional meeting for voters in both towns to attend and must propose a budget number for that meeting warrant. Selectmen in the two towns will collaborate to pick a moderator.
If the proposal is not approved at that meeting and the school department budget remains an unresolved issue by Dec. 1, the state will take over the district, Mr. Gaudette explained.
"If that happens, I would hope the state would look closely at these votes and at the towns' budgets," he said. "Because we are very concerned at the town level that we are going to be put in a position where we are forced to shut down major services."
The next school committee meeting is slated for 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Wire Village School auditorium.

YORK, Pa. – Taylor Brummitt (Annapolis, Md./Annapolis) scored a late goal to help the York College men's soccer team beat Gettysburg 1-0 in a non-conference matchup Wednesday afternoon.
With the win the Spartans improve to 10-2-1 overall and remain 3-0 in the conference. The loss drops the Bullets to 4-7-1.
The Spartans struggled to finish on their opportunities in the first half. The Green and White had a lot of shots in the beginning of the game but all of them were off the mark.
Junior Matt Yackel (Hopewell Junction, N.Y./John Jay) made a great defensive tackle at the top of the box to shutdown one of the few scoring opportunities the Bullets had.
The Green and White were also able to hold Gettysburg to zero corner kicks in the first half.
The beginning of the second half was filled with a lot of back and forth play between both teams in the midfield. With time winding down the Spartans began to take control on offense. Brummitt burried his sixth goal of the season at 15:29 off a double assist. Jake Hower (Lake Forest, Calif./El Toro) had a header that Greg Bechard (Newark, Del./St. Mark's) tapped to Brummitt on the left side of the goal before the Gettysburg goalkeeper could make a save.
York continued to control the pace of the game for the rest of regulation and would hold onto the victory.
The Spartans held a large 19-4 advantage in shots as well as an 11-1 advantage in corner kicks.
In goal Jesse Derksen (York, Pa./Susquehannock) recorded three saves in his third complete shutout for the Spartans this season. For Gettysburg Connor Darrell finished the game with seven saves.
The Green and White return to action on Saturday against St. Mary's for an important CAC matchup at 2:00 pm.

Three Puerto Rico Municipalities to Receive EPA Funds to Assess Abandoned and Contaminated Sites
Release Date: 04/22/2010
Contact Information: Beth Totman (212) 637-3662, email@example.com
(New York, N.Y.) Three municipalities in Puerto Rico will receive a total of $1 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to help them identify and assess sites to determine if they must be cleaned up before they can be redeveloped and put to productive use. The municipalities will receive the funding through EPA's brownfields program, which helps communities clean up, redevelop, and reuse sites that range from major industrial parcels to small facilities to old gas stations. Brownfields are properties at which redevelopment is hindered by toxic pollution. The cleanup of contaminated properties previously used for industrial or commercial purposes and the ultimate investment in their redevelopment protects the environment, reduces blight, revitalizes neighborhoods, and takes development pressure off open space.
"The EPA brownfields grants will help revitalize parts of three communities from both an environmental and economic development perspective," said Judith Enck, Regional Administrator. "These assessments can lead to cleanups that will protect the health of area residents and provide opportunities for development projects that benefit communities, produce jobs, and improve the quality of people's lives."
In 2002, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act was adopted by Congress to help states and communities around the country clean up and revitalize brownfields sites. Under this law, EPA provides financial assistance to eligible applicants through four competitive grant programs: assessment, revolving loan fund, cleanup, and job training. EPA's brownfields program encourages redevelopment of America's estimated 450,000 abandoned and contaminated waste sites.
The following municipalities will receive brownfields grants to assess sites with hazardous substances and petroleum contamination:
· The municipality of Camuy was selected to receive one $200,000 assessment grant for hazardous substances and one $200,000 assessment grant for petroleum contamination. Brownfields in Camuy include a former sugar mill, abandoned gas stations, former shoe and clothing factories, and printing shops.
· The municipality of Gurabo will receive a $200,000 assessment grant for petroleum contamination. The municipality has identified 20 potential brownfields sites that include abandoned industrial facilities and former gas stations.
· The municipality of Juncos will receive $200,000 in hazardous substances assessment grants and $200,000 in petroleum contamination assessment grants. Juncos was once home to heavy machinery manufacturing facilities, sugar mills and tobacco factories. By the late 1970s, much of the industry had left Juncos, leaving abandoned facilities and areas of contamination. The assessment grants will be put toward identifying contaminated facilities and properties in Juncos for future cleanup work.
Since the beginning of the brownfields program in 1995, EPA has awarded 1,702 assessment grants totaling $401 million, 262 revolving loan fund grants totaling more than $256.7 million, and 655 cleanup grants totaling $129.4 million. As part of EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson's commitment to this program, the 2011 proposed budget includes an increase to $215 million for brownfields with a focus on planning, cleanup, job training and redevelopment.

Anyone ever been to one of these?
There was an advert in the back of this weeks ITWeek that sparked my interest.
The auction had a fair bit of reasonable kit that a home user might be interested in such as moderately specced desktops and laptops P3 900MHz - P4 1.6GHz. nothing exciting but stuff that would make a good second PC or a home server.
Even laser printers and good office desks would be good buys but...
How much does this stuff go for (UK£)?
The closest auction houses to me would be a couple of hours drive and I wouldn't want to go if the prices were silly but if there were bargains to be had it might be worth it.
