"We applaud governors Tomblin and McDonnell for working with members of the beverage alcohol community and passing legislation that is good for consumers and good for the state treasury, too."

TweetKausati girl Shweta Tiwari will do a take-off on mentor Ekta Kapoor in the upcoming episode of Comedy Circus.
While Tusshar Kapoor was judging Comedy Circus till some time back, sister Ekta Kapoor will come as the celebrity judge on this week's episode. Ekta, who will join regular judges Archana Puran Singh and Daler Mehendi, has obviously come to promote her film Ragini MMS . But however much she might try to break clichés and try something different on the big screen with films like Love Sex aur Dhoka, Shor in the City and Ragini MMS , her preset image of the one who initiated television tearjerkers continues to haunt her.
So in the upcoming episode of Comedy Circus Ke Tansen , the theme for the week is 'Television and its ongoing trend'. Revealing the highlight of this week's episode, a source from the show says, "This week Raja Hassan, Raja Sagu and Preeti will be seen leaving no stone unturned in order to amaze Ekta to bag a role in her next film. The next act by Krushna Abhishek, Hard Kaur and Sudesh is about a struggling singer trying her luck for a break in the industry. Sudesh's act dressed like Krushna's mobile phone following him wherever he goes is hilarious".
However the best part of the show will be when Ekta Kapoor's Kausati girl Shweta Tiwari would come face to face with her mentor. "Shweta Tiwari will set pulses rolling when she will do a standup comedy take-off on Ekta itself", says the source. Also another actor from Ekta camp, Ali Asgar will be performing on the show. Now this is something worth looking forward to.


Here is an incontrovertible truth: I enjoy expressing my opinion. Anyone who blogs joins me in that category, as does anyone who tweets or updates his or her Facebook page; or teaches, or preaches, or otherwise speaks in public; or writes journalism, or scholarly articles, or books; or broadcasts, webcasts, podcasts, and otherwise -casts….
Here is another incontrovertible truth: I sometimes learn things by writing or speaking. The act of consolidating my thoughts, compressing them into the space allowed by the medium I’m using, ordering them for intelligibility, and even presenting them with what I hope is a little élan often clarifies, sometimes expands, and even occasionally outright changes what I thought.
But here is the last of the axioms for today: I learn most of what I learn not by communicating my own thoughts, but by attending to someone else’s.
Nothing novel here, of course. But what challenges me today is Proverbs 18:2: “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing personal opinion.” And I thought immediately of the online world of discourse. Didn’t you?
How many times have you finished a provocative weblog post or column or article and sought out the Comments section only to be dismayed, even repulsed, by the horrible goings-on therein? The ratio of “pleasure in understanding” to “expressing personal opinion” is shockingly small. So few people apparently willing to consider an alternative. So many apparently quick on the draw to once again smite Evil in the name of Good.
Yet so much of what I have learned, I have learned not by warring with, but by listening to, people I initially thought to be contemptible, either morally or intellectually disqualified from any respectful attention:
Friedrich Nietzsche: violently anti-Christian
Simone de Beauvoir: worldly feminist
John Calvin: promoter of a God who enjoyed damning people
F. D. E. Schleiermacher: father of liberal (= heretical) theology
Augustine: very old Catholic
All nineteenth-century Bible critics: highfalutin’ enemies of Scripture
Pentecostals: hysterical, superficial, spiritual chauvinists
Karl Marx: reductionistic religion-hater
Dietrich Bonhoeffer: extreme idealist turned confusing worldling
Reinhold Niebuhr: chaplain to power
Mennonites: old-fashioned, irrelevant bumpkins
The entire discipline of sociology: elaborate proof of the obvious
Well, that uses up all the humility I have, just to list those few prejudices and stereotypes that kept me from learning—and for quite a while, in some cases.
But I did get over those barriers, began to listen, and learned a lot.
I wonder, then, whom I am tempted to write off today and thereby stop my ears to anything useful, let alone true, they might have to say.
The Tea Party?
Fox News…or CNN?
Mark Driscoll…or Rob Bell?
The Parti Québecois?
Marine Le Pen?
I should at least be asking why so many people find these people interesting and even inspiring. What is going on here, and what can I learn from that? What do they know that I ought to know? What are they saying that I should be saying?
It’s easier, and often more fun, to express my personal opinion about such obviously mistaken people. I might learn something in that process . . . but probably not as much as I will learn if I listen, hard, instead.
(Don’t worry, loyal readers: There’ll be more personal opinion coming your way soon…)


After years of over-charging, City lawyers could face tough justice
Opportunistic city lawyers who over-charge their clients face tough new rules aimed at tackling the excesses and mismanagement of corporate law firms, under proposals to be published this week. The crackdown on the City's legal profession comes after growing concerns that regulators have failed to deal with abuses at multi-million pound law firms.
Clients have told a review led by former Tory cabinet member Lord Hunt of Wirral that lawyers are guilty of over-charging, failing to provide objective advice and breaching commercial confidentialities. New figures show City law firms are emerging from the recession with big rises in profits since the start of the year. Research by PriceWaterhousecoopers found that profits per partner at the UK's largest law firms was up by as much as 41 per cent. The average partner's earnings in the top 10 biggest law firms rose by almost £30,000 to £181,000.
Lord Hunt's report, on the regulation of the legal profession, will outline a tough new approach to governance of City firms. It is expected to endorse recommendations made by a former Ministry of Justice civil servant, Nick Smedley, whom Lord Hunt asked to investigate regulation in the City. He concluded that the current regulatory framework for City law firms undertaken by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority does not "address the true risks".
The City has been hit by a number of scandals involving corporate law firms in recent years. In 2005, a top City lawyer was jailed for eight years for stealing £5.8m from clients' accounts to fund a "life of opulence".
The sums plundered by Michael Fielding, 63, a partner in the London firm Lawrence Graham, had been almost beyond comprehension, Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC said at Southwark Crown Court. "Put simply, of its type this case could hardly be more serious... it is off the financial scale," he said at the time. The court heard that Fielding had used his "immense intellectual capacity" to hoodwink clients.
In 2007, Barry O'Brien, a former head of corporate finance at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, was fined £9,000 and agreed to pay £50,000 in costs over his conflicted role in Philip Green's aborted takeover of Marks & Spencer.

After days of murder, more bodies
than nights in a week, you would think
we’d say Enough. Instead,
more blood. Don’t think
it’s just the dealers, that side
of law not in your nature.
It’s expectant fathers on morning walks,
it’s businessmen minding their business,
selling denim on Sunday afternoons.
Yesterday, my student, who doesn’t believe
in gun control, said he wanted to write
a poem about parenting & the right
to bear arms, how slipping on one side
affects the other
which way that goes).
& though you won’t find me w/steel
in the small of my back (@ least
not by my hand), I know the peace
a poem can bring. So I say, Yes,
write. & he goes back to his seat
nodding his head, the room filled
w/the voices of his classmates
comparing Dove, Simic, & Wright,
the push of my chair
back from my desk to stand & speak
on a chalk board, like a scream
when a gun fires.

May Allah reward all those who left a very warm spot in my heart.Ameen
My last week in Australia was probably the best.I saw all my sisters in Islam whom I truly love for the sake of Allah all in one go.
Coming back from Syria I realized how busy everybody was in Australia.Life moves on without you.People are always making themselves busy.Well,not long after I fell in the same pattern of been busy with the kids, school, Quraan and just family life. In the last week I saw everyone and felt so fortunate to have such good friends.My own family is so big and wonderful I have no words to describe the value I hold for them.May Allah allow us to all meet in a much better place Ameen.
O.k! Things went well at the airport,We were the last ones to board the plane.Nearly missed the flight.The funny thing was,they announced"The Al-Masri family needs to board now as we have located your luggage to take off the plane" The way we ran...just use your imagination.
The plane was empty so we had great seats and just stretched out.Alhumdulillah for that.Our hotel was exactly what they advertised.
It was clean and comfy.We have three ladies that clean the house each day.I could really get use to this.We started studying straight away so having someone make your bed,clean the bathroom ,kitchen,sweep the floor and mop everyday.WOW!!!
Today they came and changed all the bedding.
For me, all the above, this is a mercy from Allah.We have many tests ahead of us. Allah knows how much we can handle.
Anyway,Make dua for us.Will keep you all posted on whats happening this side.
Australian weather is the best!!!!!!

Last night, I had the privilege of being the guest judge for the first episode of Maharaja Lawak Mega; a tri-country version of popular comedy competition where contestants are made up of popular actors (and singers). The panel of permanent judges are made up of Dato Chef Wan (a chef!), Dato Siti Nurhaliza (a singer!) and Zainal Abidin Hassan (soccer legend!). I suppose it was not obvious enough for audiences at home to figure out that the judges’ opinions are simply an extension/representation of a regular consumer. All the comments basically revolve around whether it was funny or not; something you at home believe you can do and happily do it all the time.
However, to a certain misfortune, Twitterjaya wasn’t pleased that the panel of judges (including the guest judge) are made up of non-comedians. Hey, Jalil Hamid and Imuda, who are probably the funniest old-timers on TV, are taking part in the competition! Who else is left! Well, you had your un-mentions and I replied on TV. Don’t think you can beat that. Jangan lebih kuah dari sudu ya. Bab-bab nak comment orang lain bukan main lagi, sendiri kalau terkena terkencing-kencing nanti. Haha! Anyway, the show was awesome! 17 contestants, 3 minutes each, throwing insults at each other and other contestants (based on true-life incidents), and I got to sit amongst the greats.
It goes to show, and a gentle daily reminder it is, that we cannot please everyone and you know what, that’s absolutely fine! Thanks to the Astro crew especially Kamal, Ellis, Orkid and all I met last night.
Travelled from Kedah, northern-end of Malaysia, even visited Thailand while I was there to Penang to simply have a curry feast before going back to Kuala Lumpur.
Will never get over how beautiful the clouds are at this one particular spot right in between Sintok and Penang. One day I’ll stop by the road and walk onto the paddy field.
Love what you do and wherever you go will be scenic!
I’m currently working on my third album and it’s taken so long because I’ve spent a year mostly on the road and I’ve had awesome 2011 to date. Can’t wait to let you listen to a new sound. I’ve officially left the whole old-school sound and opted to go for a more contemporary pop sound. I’m sure there’ll be one or to of the Jiwang songs that I’m so used to. Promise.
What is a twtup (pronounced as tweet-up)? Twtup is a meet-up/gathering for people who are connected through Twitter. The idea of a twtup is to meet new people and meet new friends all over Malaysia. OctTwtFest is a continuation of Oct23rdTwtup that was held on 23rd Oct 2010. Because of the overwhelming response from the tweeps (residents of Twitter), we have decided to make this as an annual event for social media goers.
Last Year : Oct23rdTwtup
On 23rd Oct 2010, over 600+ people, including many local celebs turned up and made it the biggest twtup in Malaysia. On the day itself, the twtup managed to unlock the Foursquare Super Swarm Badge (250 people checking in at a venue at one time). We organized a number of activities, such as PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) competition, board and card games, and also group games for the tweeps to participate.
Besides games, we also did a cake-cutting session, celebrating October babies that were present. Fifteen committee members volunteered to help make the event a success and it took them two weeks to plan for it. We used Twitvite.com as our platform to manage our invitation list. The event was totally free of charge for the guests. The objective of the event was to inculcate harmony among all present, putting aside race, status and political inclinations, and not to forget; putting faces to names (or tweethandles).
p/s: I will be performing with Joe Flizzow, Altimet, Ila Damia, Sona One, Faliq Fahmie, Xema Suhaimi, Tengku Adil, Luna Rahman, Amir Azizi, Azreel Azhar, Soulzoul & The Gang, Syakir Iman, Diandra Arjunaidi, Fafaraa, Amir Jahari, One Nation Emcees, Daiyan Trisha, Sarimah Ibrahim, Rina Omar, Sharifah Sofia, Karl Shafek, Fauziah Gous, Fazley Yaakob, Hujan & more. Admission is FREE.
This is very well-edited video of Hyrul’s music video launch a month back. Can’t wait to do more events!
Last weekend, I had some Singaporean guests over. Remember the Raya video I showed you a few weeks back? Guess what? My mentor Fazley Yaakob and I decided to sign them via our respective companies, FIPRO and Gumbira. Our first joint-venture project! We recorded over at Rafikoncept at Taman Tun, a luscious acoustic song. Can’t wait to present to you guys their new name and the song that Fazley wrote and composed, and Rafik and I produced. You just wait.
I produced Hyrul Anuar’s album, and this song got its video treatment done recently. Enjoy!


what to do with a bottle of Maraschino liqueur?
- momskitchen Dec 30, 2008 04:24 AM
I tried the Aviation cocktail with Plymouth gin, but it wasn't for me (I just don't like gin). What to do with the rest of the bottle?
Ah, there's the rub! And my personal failing in the maraschino department. I LOVE gin and so I'm sitting here wracking my brain for a recipe I enjoy that doesn't have it.
Looks as if I need to poke around those recipes a bit to expand my experience! Can we leave this one at "I'll get back to you", momskitchen?
Manhattan Cocktail No. 1 (from Savoy):
2 dashes maraschino (1/4 oz is good)
1 pony rye whiskey
1 wineglass vermouth (mixed -- i.e., both sweet and dry)
3 dashes angostura bitters
Stir (Savoy says shake, but I disagree on that one), strain, and squeeze a piece of lemon peel over the top. It's a really tasty drink, and the maraschino gives it a bit of a funky undertone that I really like.
Make brandied cherries! OK, you may have missed the southern hemisphere cherry season, but that's what I did a week or so ago. Our Costco had Chilean cherries, but they were gone when I went back just before Xmas. And you just have to live with the guilt about the carbon footprint of buying produce from so far away.
My recipe is about 1/4 simple syrup (1:1), 1/4 Luxardo maraschino, and 1/2 brandy. Boil your jars, add the cherries and spices, fill to cover. Refrigerate.
I also really like Gary Regan's Manhattan recipe from a while back, which had you use maraschino as a rinse for the glass.
you can use it as a replacement for the sweet component of many cocktails, for an interesting variant - try using it instead of triple sec in any cocktail you like that uses it, for example.
you will have the same balance, but a completely different flavor profile....
i know you said you don;t like gin - i used to feel the same way, until i started viewing gin as the best of the infused vodkas - gin is like vodka but better engineered for mixing! anyway i make this cocktail often:
1 1/2 oz gin (plymouth or hendricks)
1oz maraschino liquer
1 oz lemon juice
i suppose you could replace the gin w/ vodka or tequila pretty easily
I'd also look for some European cocktail recipes which include cherry liquors. All the best bar work I've experienced using them has been on that continent. I had a barman at a London private club off Sloane St. spend 15 minutes working on some elaborate concoction that must've used a dozen different glasses and implements. It was the greatest cherry soda I've ever had, with the odd side effect of 12 oz. severely impacting my sense of balance, even though I'm a really big boy.
Try this old recipe for New Year's parties:
Jefferson Davis Punch:
1.5 Pints of lemon juice
3.25 lbs. of sugar, dissolved in water
12 bottles of claret
1.5 bottles of sherry
0.5 bottle of brandy
0.5 pint of Jamaican rum
1 cup of Maraschino liqueur
3 bottles of ginger ale
6 bottles mineral water or soda
Garnish with two lemons sliced thin; half of a cucumber sliced with peel on; one orange sliced. If too strong, water may be added till the quantity reaches 5 gallons. Best if made 24 hours before using, adding ice, the ginger ale and mineral water just before serving.


By Britwatch Team
- Top seeds: Sara Errani, Sloane Stephens, Sam Stosur, Kristina Mladenovic
- Defending Champion: Sam Stosur
STRASBOURG, FRANCE- Sara Errani is the top seed in Strasbourg as the preparations for the French Open reach their conclusion.
Britwatch Tennis: Full Draws and Schedules
Interactive Draw & Results
Top Quarter: Errani/Vesnina
Errani’s clay court season has not been her best so the Italian has taken a wildcard into Strasbourg in hope of finding some much needed form. Monica Puig is a dangerous round one proposition as the Puerto Rican holds a 2-0 head to head advantage over her. Yaroslava Shvedova is famous for inflicting a golden set on the top seed so we know what she is capable of
Elena Vesnina has found some of her old form this year and could benefit from any upset of Errani. The Russian plays Saisai Zheng in the opening round. British interest will lie with Heather Watson who has shown some decent form over the past few weeks. Watson could be a dark horse contender for the title here. She plays Kateryna Bondarenko in round one.
Second Quarter: Stosur/Garcia
Sam Stosur returns to Strasbourg to defend her title with some decent results on clay this year. A final in Prague was followed by a semi final in Madrid- not a bad showing from the former French Open finalist. Qualifier Lauren Davis will entertain Stosur in round one. Su-Wei Hsieh brings her unusual game to the winner in round two.
Caroline Garcia is now a seed here thanks to the withdrawal of Monica Niculescu earlier today. The Frenchwoman is looking to re-find her early season form in time for her home grand slam this week. Garcia will test her skills against Kirsten Flipkens in a potentially entertaining first round affair. The winner should progress to the quarter finals.
Third Quarter: Mladenovic/Cornet
Speaking of French hopefuls, Kristina Mladenovic has snapped her four match losing streak by defeating Madison Brengle here in round one. Despite her recent doubles success, the 23 year old has not been in the best of form lately and needs a boost ahead of the French Open. The fourth seed will play Alison Riske in the second round, she defeated Alize Lim in her opening round match.
Alize Cornet was the other seed in this quarter but her return to France was cut short by Alla Kudryavtseva in round one. The upset has opened up the third quarter for a surprise quarter finalist with Zarina Diyas being the only other main draw acceptance in the section. Tie that with Mladenovic’s form and there’s a possibility of a shock name in the last four.
Bottom Quarter: Stephens/Babos
Sloane Stephens is a player that you can never predict. She can either go all the way or lose in the opening round, either way the American is the second seed and a title favourite here. Donna Vekic awaits in round one with Shuai Zhang or Pauline Parmentier awaiting the winner.
Timea Babos will bring her power to the table in this section. The Hungarian could have a tasty looking round two with Mirjana Lucic-Baroni providing they beat Olga Govortsova and Qiang Wang in their respective openers. The winner of that should meet Stephens in the last eight, but as we have found out recently, anything can happen in the WTA.
The Internationaux de Strasbourg takes place on May 15th-21st

As one of the latest crave for a foodie is hunting for Non-Halal food which is mushrooming especially on pork burger or for to hunt for a satisfied porkie meal. It was on a trip recently to celebrate Karen’s Birthday and again I was put in charge for hunting ground, a suggestion came up by Kebbie mentioning Sanbanto then I went to Google it up that they do have good reviews from bloggers and decided to go there. Then a restriction came up that it takes time to travel there as its in SS2. Then after a while I found out that they have a branch now in Puchong at IOI Boulevard that is called the Pork Place which is one of a upcoming center for FnB heaven that I think its very similar to Sunway Giza.

We want to see you in your homemade/handmade masks! Wearing a mask during the pandemic is not mandatory in BC, but doing so can be helpful. Wearing a mask – while also following public health recommendations such as frequent handwashing – is recommended in situations where physical distancing may not be possible, like on public transit.
We've noticed many Indigenous people wearing masks with style and flare, incorporating First Nations designs and traditional techniques like beadwork. Some of us have made our own masks, while others have ordered handmade masks from small Indigenous businesses.
We want to see you in your mask! Show us your creative mask style by posting your photo with the hashtag: #GoodMedicineFNHA
If you haven't made your mask yet, click here for information on how to make one and on mask use in general, including:
Medical face masks should be reserved for health care workers, first responders and others providing direct care to COVID-19 patients.
You should continue to practise physical distancing and frequent handwashing even if you choose to wear a mask.

Mindy White (born June 19, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and musician from Nashville, TN. She is a former member of Arizona-based indie rock band Lydia and current lead vocalist of indie rock band States. Mindy is also founder and editor of her lifestyle site Hello Real Life.
Early life and career
In early 2007, she joined Gilbert, Arizona-based indie rock group Lydia, headed by Leighton Antelman, on vocals and keyboard. Lydia released one studio album with White, titled Illuminate, on March 18, 2008.
In 2009, Mindy left Lydia to start her own musical project, States, with members of Florida-based alternative band Copeland, including Bryan Laurenson (guitar), Jonathan Bucklew (drums), Dean Lorenz (bass), and Stephen Laurenson (guitar). Together, they recorded an EP called Line 'Em Up which came out on October 12, 2010. They then released their full-length studio album, Room to Run, on October 18, 2011, and later re-released it (with the addition of two demos, acoustic versions of two songs from their EP, a remix, and two brand new songs) on June 19, 2012 via Tooth & Nail Records, followed by Paradigm on December 3, 2013, released independently with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign. Mindy has toured with bands such as Circa Survive, The Starting Line, Set Your Goals, Lights, Copeland, Metrostation, Paramore, and much more.

Because of my melanoma diagnosis, I consider myself a student of sun safety. I've learned to be diligent and cautious about my sun exposure while still getting out and enjoying the season.
However, there's a bit more to it than that. I needed to redefine beautiful as it pertains to skin. As a teen, I saw my peers tanning and was very much aware that tanned skin was their idea of attractive. Thankfully, society seems to be moving to a place where we see pale skin and consider it healthy, beautiful and classic. I'll take that!
Here are some of my favorite tips and tricks to being safe in the sun and fashionably pale:
- A good general rule is to avoid the sun during peak hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Depending where you live, you may want to be even more cautious. I like to use a mobile weather app to check the UV index. If it's moderate or above I look for an indoor activity.
- Look for a broad-spectrum sunblock, meaning it protects from UV-A and UV-B rays with a minimum SPF30. Apply prior to sun exposure and reapply as directed. I like to spray my perfume after I've applied sunblock to help mitigate some of that distinct sunscreen smell.
- Don't forget about your head. There are sunblock options available that are designed to be applied over hair to protect your scalp. Hats are also a great option. Sun hats and baseball caps look especially great during warmer months.
- Wear sunglasses. Again, make sure they offer UV protection at 100%. They are very stylish and great for people watching at the beach. Remember in sunglass fashion, the bigger the better.
- Sport beachy cover-ups. Look for long sundresses or linen clothing. These will look fantastic while protecting you from the sun.
- Many lip balms are available with SPF, grab yourself one. Hydrated lips are always a plus.
- Ladies, most makeup brands offer their foundations or BB creams with SPF. Make sure you look for those options; it's a very easy switch for a little extra protection. Oh, and wear some nail polish, it provides a little UV barrier to your nail beds.
If you are really craving a sun kissed look, there are some great sunless tanning lotions on the market. They can be quick and easy to use, but more importantly they don't expose you to damaging UV rays. But remember, pale is beautiful and pale is always in.
If you're going on a spring break trip, have a fantastic time and please, be safe in the sun.

I'm getting in the christmas mood already and looked this up because we went last year and it was so much fun. incredible setting with gorgeous views across the river and you can tie it in with a look around the Tate
Fantastic xmas market. We were there last year and its a great location with some great stalls. Will definitely be going back this year!
Worst Christmas Market ever - sad atmosphere, not well curated stalls, sad looking food... Generally not enough good shit. A waste of my 6£ uber to check it out.
Went there on the 10th December and all the stalls were shut, very dissapointed as there were not many stalls even if it had been open. Don't bother going there a waste of time. Caroline Local resident of Southwark

Four Roses is growing again. Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear helped Four Roses announce plans to expand bottling operations at its Cox’s Creek Warehouse and Bottling Facility. Four Roses is expected to create up to 30 new jobs and invest $8 million in the project.
“Four Roses is vital to Kentucky’s rich Bourbon heritage,” said Gov. Beshear. “It’s exciting to see the company continue to grow its operations, create jobs and contribute to the renaissance of one of the Commonwealth’s signature industries. I want to thank Four Roses for its investment here in central Kentucky, and I look forward to seeing this facility in action.”
The 60,000-square-foot expansion will contain two bottling lines, bottling support areas and office space. Four Roses expects the facility to be up and running by the spring of 2018.
“Four Roses’ growth in the U.S. Bourbon market continues to demonstrate that attention to quality and detail is what the consumer wants in our premium Bourbons,” said John Rhea, Four Roses chief operating officer. “Building this new facility and providing these new jobs here in Bullitt County are exactly what we wanted to do to show our support for our current employees and this community. We want to personally thank Gov. Steve Beshear and Bullitt County Judge- Executive Melanie Roberts for their tremendous effort and support to make this project happen.”
This is the second Four Roses expansion in Bullitt County in the past year. Last September, Gov. Beshear and company officials cut the ribbon on Four Roses second visitor center. The 2,500-square-foot center expects to attract more than 20,000 guests annually, and is a complement to the Four Roses’ original visitor center located at the Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.
“I appreciate Four Roses as they continue to invest in our region, while expanding and growing their business,” said Sen. Jimmy Higdon, of Lebanon. “Four Roses is a special part of our community, and I congratulate them on their success as one of Kentucky’s premier Bourbon producers.”
“It is with great pleasure that I congratulate Four Roses for the upcoming expansion,” said Rep. Linda Belcher, of Shepherdsville. “Their impact on job creation and increased tourism opportunities is a true asset to our community. I’m looking forward to the completion of its facility in 2018.”
“It has been a pleasure working with Four Roses over the past several months, and we are very excited to bring this project to reality,” said Bullitt County Judge-Executive Melanie Roberts. “Four Roses has been a great corporate citizen of Bullitt County. This expansion represents job creation and growth for our county, proving this partnership is growing and flourishing.”
Four Roses is committed to safe, responsible drinking.

Renters Insurance - HO-4 Coverage
Renters insurance (also known as HO-4 coverage) typically covers losses to your personal property from 17 types of perils:
| || |
You'll note that while volcanic eruptions are included, floods and earthquakes arent. If you live in an area prone to either, it's recommended to buy a separate policy or get a rider on your existing policy. In some coastal regions, where hurricanes might pose a threat, you might also need to buy a separate rider to cover wind damage. As always, you need to check the details of your policy
One thing to look at is whether the renters insurance company will offer "actual cash value" (ACV) or "replacement cost coverage" for your belongings. As the name implies, ACV coverage will pay only for what your property is worth at the time of your claim. So, if you bought a television five years ago for $300, it would be worth significantly less today. You'll be paid that lower value, minus any deductible (which would be applied to your overall claim).
Replacement cost coverage, on the other hand, will pay what it actually costs to replace the items you lost, again minus the deductible.
When you are thinking about your needs for coverage, keep in mind that the costs of some consumer goods are coming down. For instance, the television that cost you $300 five years ago might just be purchased new for $200 now. This is something to consider while you decide on whether you need ACV coverage or replacement cost coverage.
Many people opt for the lower cost replacement cost coverage. After all, many of your personal belongings are not critical, and can be replaced over time. The cost of a comparable item may have come down. (This is typical with electronics and stereo equipment, for instance.) Usually, you can afford to wait to replace some items until you have the money to pay for them yourself or can shop for a bargain. For that time and effort later, you'll save money up front on your premiums.
Let your agent know about any particularly valuable items you have. Jewellry antiques and electronics may only be covered up to a certain amount. If you have some items that are unusually expensive, you may need to purchase a separate rider. If you don't buy that additional coverage up front, you are not likely to be able to recover the damages later in a claim.
In order to ensure that you are buying the right level of coverage (as well as to prepare for the unlikely event of a claim), it's important to take inventory of your personal belongings. Unfortunately, many people only figure out that they didnt have enough coverage ...


Google’s Safe Browsing System determines php.net is malicious
Google’s Safe Browsing system deemed the official PHP website, PHP.net, malicious last week. Though, the initial reaction from PHP creator Rasmus Lerdorf was a false positive from Google; this was not the case.
“Magnitude is a community name chosen for an Exploit Kit previously referred to as Popads,” said French security researcher Kafeine in a recent blog post about the kit.
In response to the attack, PHP.net was moved to a new set of servers and new SSL certificates were issued; as it’s possible the SSL private key of the site recovered by the attackers.
In addition, the PHP group has confirmed that the source code for PHP was not modified in any way from the attack.
“The highest priority is obviously the source code integrity,” as stated in the PHP.net news for Oct 24. “We see no evidence that the PHP code has been compromised.”
However, while the site is now clean, what’s most scary about all of this is the source of the breach has yet to be determined. According to an article from Ars, PHP maintainer Adam Harvey states “the investigation is ongoing. Right now we have nothing specific to share, but a full post mortem will be posted on PHP.net once the dust has settled.”
It’s true that websites suffer hacks all the time. Unfortunately, for this reason it is important to be on your guard against things like exploit kits even when practicing safe browsing habits.

What we do
Responsible Care helps the industry to operate safely, profitably and with care for future generations. Through the sharing of information and a rigorous system of checklists, performance indicators and verification procedures, Responsible Care enables the industry to demonstrate how its health, safety and environmental performance has improved over the years, and to develop policies for further improvement.
Responsible Care requires companies to be open and transparent with their stakeholders – from local communities to environmental lobby groups, from local authorities and government to the media, and of course the general public. It has driven a transformation in the way that companies operate: from being secretive and defensive about their activities, to being more open, honest, and actively seeking dialogue and partnerships with stakeholders.
The initiative is intentionally flexible in order to transcend differences in culture, regional or national legislation, and so on, thereby enabling all chemical associations and their member companies – wherever they are in the world – to adopt Responsible Care and adapt it to suit their local situation.
Nevertheless, there is a common set of Fundamental Features that all associations must adhere to, ensuring the initiative remains true to its core ethic.
Responsible Care is the world’s leading voluntary industry initiative and has been adopted in 60 countries whose combined chemical industries account for more than 70% of global chemicals production.


My first visit
I’m told I need an appointment with you. What happens next?
We will call or write to you to arrange your first appointment, giving you a choice of dates and times.
If you can’t make the appointment for any reason, please call us so we can reschedule. The number to contact will be on your appointment letter.
What do I say to the child or young person I’m coming with about the first appointment?
We find it helps if you can tell them about the appointment and why you think it will help your family to talk with someone about the difficulties you are all experiencing.
It can be hard for younger children to make sense of the place they are going to, and describing it as a place where people can talk about their worries might help.
If there are issues you feel it will be inappropriate to discuss with the child or young person present in a first appointment, please arrange to meet a therapist initially without them.
Will I be meeting just one therapist?
Usually, yes. However, if you are going to be seen as a family, your appointment may be with more than one therapist.
What will happen at the appointment?
We’ll ask you to come to your first appointment about 10-15 minutes early, so you can fill in some forms we need for our information.
At the appointment, you will be asked to describe your situation and your concerns, and to say what you have already done to try to resolve them. We will also ask you what outcome you are hoping for in coming to the clinic. This first appointment is an assessment to decide what service would best meet your needs.
We find that people get the most out of this if they say whatever is on their mind. The service is confidential and the therapist is here to help you and the child or young person.
Following this appointment, the therapist will complete an assessment and recommend what type of treatment is best. We will then assign the most appropriate team or service to work with you and the child or young person. This may not include the therapist who you saw at your first appointment.
Can I have an interpreter?
Our interpreters are specially trained to work with people in therapy and you can feel comfortable speaking freely in front of them.
If you or the child or young person have an interpreter you’d prefer to use, please let us know and we will do our best to include them.
We will usually be told if you need an interpreter. But if you are not sure whether one has been organised, please contact the administrator whose details are provided on your letter. You can also contact the administrator if you have any other questions


Do I Need A Disclosure Statement?
The need for Disclosure Policies comes mostly from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which mandates truth in advertising rules and regulations.
The Material Disclosure Statement
As it applies to the average Internet marketer, the Material Disclosure refers to revealing to the reader or site visitor that there is the possibility of a material connection between the promoter and the seller of the products and services being promoted.
Meaning that, if a sale is made, the promoter will usually receive some form of compensation such as an affiliate commission payment, or payment for producing a referral lead, or free products, and any similar form of compensation.
Does This Apply to Me?
Bloggers or website owners receiving cash or other payment to review a product are considered to be endorsing the product.
The specific rule (16 CFR, Part 255 – Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising) further implies that the relationship between the promoter and the seller of the advertised product might be providing a less than truthful endorsement as to the quality and reliability of the item being sold; and, that the buyer needs to know of the material connection arrangement because it might not be anticipated and such a connection might affect the buyer’s decision.
Truth in Advertising
The rule also discusses basic truth in promotion when it comes to results that can be expected when using the product. If the advertisement shows a consumer testimonial stating that he made $1 million dollars overnight, proof of such must be shown, and furthermore, a statement must be made to the effect that these results are not typical. Endorsements must not be deceptive; they may not make false or misleading claims.
If a result from using the product or service is not typical, then it must be mentioned as such. Furthermore, disclaimer statements such as: “results not typical” do not diminish falsity and are not acceptable for diminishing the liability accompanying false advertising.
An Accompanying Disclaimer
Frequently, a disclaimer will accompany the disclosure statement. The disclaimer will say something to the effect that the buyer should use “due diligence” before purchasing – meaning that the buyer should not solely rely upon the information within the advertisement when evaluating the product or service.
Prominent Display of the Disclosure Statement
Other parts of the ruling dictate that disclosure statements be prominently displayed on the site and in emails that promote products whereby the sender of the email might receive commission payment of any sort. It is required that the sender of the email indicate that his or her endorsement of a product, and the email promotion of such, will possibly be rewarded, upon a successful sale or other transaction type, with payment of some sort.

Despite BlackBerry 10 coming out sometime in the next few months RIM is still releasing BlackBerry OS 7 devices like the new BlackBerry Curve 9320.
The BlackBerry Curve 9320 is just like every other entry-level Curve. It features the same iconic BlackBerry design with a 2.4-inch 320×240 display over a physical QWERTY keyboard. The phone uses an 800MHz CPU, and has a rear-facing 3.2MP camera.
With just 512MB of storage, the Curve 9320 won’t store a lot of data without a microSD card inserted. It will last quite a long time, though. RIM claims the new phone can last for 18 days on standby, or seven hours of talk time thanks to its 1,450 mAH battery.
The Curve 9320 features two programmable buttons on one side. RIM maps them to BlackBerry Messenger and the camera, but users can set them to whatever they prefer.
The BlackBerry Curve will be available on May 18 in the UK for £139.99 (~$225) on Three’s Pay As You Go plan. If the phone does make its way to the U.S., it will likely be on a similar low-cost prepaid service.
The new BlackBerry Curve 9320 is a good enough device for a new smartphone user who mainly just wants a physical keyboard. It is hard to recommend over similar entry-level Android phones or even entry-level Windows Phones, however. RIM recently stated that current BlackBerry phones can’t upgrade to BlackBerry 10.
Buying a new BlackBerry means in a few months the user will have an obsolete device with dwindling support. For that reason alone it’s hard to recommend even a prepaid BlackBerry.


"With intense mortification he saw that the piece of meat he had hidden at yesterday's dinner had oozed grease through his handkerchief and his pocket. 'How wonderfully strange,' he thought, 'to be upset by this trifle; yet I am upset.' He sat down and ate his piece of meat (the eye of mutton chop) …"
This scene from Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander came to mind as I produced a half-eaten piece of cheese on toast at work one morning last week and proceeded to munch.
Yes, cheese on toast. The secret to portability by pocket or satchel is to grill it well beyond the gooey stage – to the point where the edges of your toast are on the brink of burning and the cheese has nearly vaporised. Upon cooling it fuses hard and dry. Take a few bites then, since you're running late, stow it on your person, run to catch the train and surprise your workmates later. Wrap it in a piece of snatched paper kitchen towel as you nip out, if you're fussy that way.
O'Brian's seafaring surgeon, Stephen Maturin, had an endearing habit of whipping out comestibles from about himself:
"Aye?", said Stephen, setting a cabbage-leaf parcel on the table and taking an egg from his pocket and a loaf from his bosom. 'I have brought a beef-steak to recruit you for your interview, and what passes for bread in these parts ... "
So why don't we do it any more? What's wrong with having a sausage in your pocket like Stephen – won't you be pleased to see it later? (In one scene, Stephen produces a "Catalan sausage", pares off chunks with his surgeon's lancet and feeds them to a lady patient:
"You must allow me to warn you against any indulgence in lowness … Were you to give way to melancholy, you would certainly pule into a decline.")
To me the hard-boiled egg has big potential as a pocket edible. Every day I go to work on an egg, but the hard-boiled egg can go to work on you. It may even get nicely cracked in the rush-hour commute and then you can shell out while you log on. Eat promptly, though, to avoid that greenish halo around the yolk.
Hunks of hard cheese lend themselves to similar casual carriage and gustation. None of your smelly, gooey Frenchie ones, mind – unfortunate discharges may result.
And give me a plain scone any day for this purpose. Ooh, or a chicken drumstick – even if it's KFC, which is better the next day anyway, when it's cold and stiffened up.
Here's my as-yet incomplete list of ground rules for pocket eating:
1. Bananas, apples, mandarins or KitKats and the like don't count.
2. Item must be carried unwrapped, or wrapped in a handkerchief, kitchen paper, newspaper, cabbage leaf etc. We're talking improvised - no cling film or any sort of purpose-built sheath or carriage receptacle. Paper kitchen towel is fine. Paper bags are acceptable, but not plastic ones.
3. Preferably the item is home-cooked, and extra points are scored if it is a cooked item that is normally consumed hot, but you eat it cold from your pocket. Extra extra points if it is a meat item, especially a particularly greasy one.
I hear there's another strain of pocket eater: the condiment carrier. The type who can't do without Tabasco or L&P wherever they eat out. Food blogger Ms Marmite carries garlic around in her pocket, in the advent of a food-flavouring emergency.
Any other pocket eaters willing to break cover? Feel free to lend a hand with the rules, too.


I had only read one previous novel by J.J. Connington — The Case with Nine Solutions (1928) — about which I remember one clever piece of misdirection and little else. I’ve had The Four Defences (1940) for ages, but his fellow-Humdrummer Mr. Freeman Wills Crofts captured my heart and swept me off my feet, so amends were here to be made. Thus, we have the remains of an unidentified body in a burned-out car, an obstreperous coroner insisting on felo de se, and a mystery on our hands. Cue an amateur detective — with the delightfully pleonastic name of Mark Brand, whose job seems to be giving relationship advice on the radio — to break the case…
Hairy Aaron, it’s dull. You’d think a fire-destroyed car containing a body with scope for plenty of physical evidence and clue-hunting would be the sort of situation a writer creates in order to show of their brinkmanship and creativity. Alas, it feels like half of every chapter is spent simply repeating information from the chapter before, the narrative a sort of rolling stone covered in moss that is described again and again with varying degrees of interest, with ever-more moss gathered and some of that described while also some of the pre-existing moss is talked about in case you forgot it was there.
The main problem I have beyond this repetition, however, is just how non-existent the detection is. On account of his radio show, Brand is able to canvas for help, and all we ever see are the results of this, never the process. Frequently he turns up at the door of Inspector Hartwell with his trail already ended and the thing he was searching for already found — in stark contrast to Crofts, who was devil for showing you the sheer amount of legwork and ingenuity that went into such revelations, and who made his Inspector French greet failure as inevitable and merely to be faced with equanimity before an alternative path is taken. Here, Connington appears to employ a Croftian example early on with Brand having run down various sightings of cars matching the one destroyed in the fire, then piecing together a possible timetable of the sightings that are likely to be of the same car, and while this felt like a soft introduction to Brand to prepare you for his rigorous ways, it’s actually just how everything works from that point on. Hartwell needs information. Brand turns up with it, having got it, somehow. Brand shows it to Hartwell and makes some cryptic remark that implies he’s holding something back (“You’ve missed one or two points, Inspector.”). Rinse and repeat. Fin.
For all this, you never get any sense of Brand as a character beyond the fact that he wears loud tweed suits and…well, okay, that’s it. There’s not a single character who gets to demonstrate some personality trait without you being told that’s how they are in advance in the entire book: the inquest — gah, dear sweet heaven how I detest inquest chapters that add nothing to the plot — is full of “he seemed a ponderous man” and “she looked empty-headed” before the witnesses say anything, and then they vaguely behave in the manner of the adjectives applied to them. Curtis Evans nails it perfectly in his book Masters of the Humdrum Mystery (2012) when he holds the book to account for its “practically non-existent atmosphere and the thinnest of cardboard characters”. Even the setting seemed entirely indistinct to my mind; something about the writing felt very American to me, and the constant references to paying off witnesses with “quids” and chauffeurs driving people to London wold suddenly drop out of nowhere and remind me that we were in Good Old Blighty, only for me to immediately forget again when anything else happened.
And yet, away from the plot, there are some points of contemporary interest that far outweight what you’re supposed to be interested in: the hoarding of petrol for one’s car was a matter that would attract the attention of the police, though “[n]obody carries petrol [in their car] nowadays, with all these pumps by the roadside”. As a document of social history it has its merits, but for every good line we get hideous clunkers like “If this was a tec novel and I was reading it, I’d get suspicious at once”, and the egregious smugness of Brand regaling his sister with a pointless piece of tell-don’t-show by beginning “There’s only one length for a story and that’s the right length”. Mark, Alfred Walter Stewart would wholeheartedly disagree with you…
As to the plot, well, the plot of a detective novel (though, as I say, I don’t think this qualifies as one) is always a matter of personal interpretation. Unfortunately for Stewart here, the early, entirely incongruous mention of a particular detail pretty much immediately set me on a path from which nothing convinced me to waver. Drag as many people with an unmotivated interest in dentistry across the trail as you like, the scheme at the heart of this was already pretty old by 1940 and you’re not appropriately misdirected away from it for my taste (unless boring the reader so much that they skip ahead and miss pertinent details was part of the plan). And the final summation — all the detritus having been cleared away — is relayed with the enthusiasm of a man describing his job as a low-grade cat food taster to someone he doesn’t like very much and knows he’ll never see again. I shut this one with a sigh that was decidedly more long-suffering than it was pleasurable, and I’m not in any rush to return.
The only sensible response is to run sobbing into the arms of Freeman Wills Crofts and promise never to betray his trust and just hope he’ll have me back…
Mike Grost @ GADetection wiki: The Four Defences is notable for the complexity of the plot. Every chapter unveils much new detail about the crimes. There is no padding: Connington has produced a Golden Age detective novel whose length is justified by the richness of the plot.
Nick Fuller @ The Grandest Game in the World: I expected a damn dry slog through arid wastes of police procedure, “painstaking” (and giving!) detection, without a pause at a refreshing oasis of excitement, humor, or characterization. Instead, this may well be Connington’s most zestful book since the 1920s.
These two are some of the most widely-read of all GAD enthusiasts and their perspective on the books in the genre are always worthy of serious attention, but we shall agree to disagree on this title…!
For the Follow the Clues Mystery Challenge, this links to Six Were to Die from last week since both have a number in their title.
And on my Just the Facts Golden Age Bingo card, this fulfils the category Set in a small village.

WELCOME TO First Class Tailored Solutions
'Making a difference'.
We are an external provider of transitional alternative educational packages for young people in challenging circumstances across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, South Yorkshire and the surrounding counties
First Class Tailored Solutions was established in April 2012 with the aim of providing short-term individually tailored educational programmes for the large number of young people who are at any one time unable to attend mainstream schooling. The years of experience of our Managing Director, Janet Starr, as Individual Provision Lead in Nottinghamshire, means that we have a real understanding of what is needed to affect re-inclusion and to achieve positive re-engagement with education. We have a strong team of Teachers & Teaching Assistants whose focus is always child-centred.
The provision we offer is highly flexible in terms of location, hours of input and educational experience provided. We work 1:1 in the home, in school alongside members of staff in other appropriate venues. Programmes can be created to meet individual need. Sessions out of school hours can also be provided. The area we cover, at the moment, is the East Midlands region and have staff in all of these areas. Find out more about us on our services pages. If you teach or mentor and would like to join this growing organisation, then please feel free to fill in an application form.
Robust safeguarding, monitoring and evaluation procedures are in place. We are experts at providing a planned differentiated curriculum and flexibility to ensure the best possible outcomes for the young people whose education is entrusted to us.
Please contact us to discuss what we offer and how we can tailor our provision to meet your needs.
RECRUITING NOW! Core subjects particularly in demand! Apply via application form or contact
What we do
Feedback/Review - How do people we support feel about us? Check out the new page!
If you would like us to help with a young person, then please feel free to look at the 'Contact us' information page and download a form to help us support you with this.
These students have achieved results which were much better than we would have expected had they remained in school
Excellent commitment from talented teachers - thank you!
Would not hesitate to recommend First Class to colleagues.
Young people can find education a problem for a variety of reasons. Fitting in, getting the right help or worrying about how other people see them. When their difficulties become too much for them, impeding their academic progress, external provision is the next option. Whether they have medical, behavioural or anxieties that reduce their time in mainstream, we can help.
At First Class we have teachers who specialise in all areas of the curriculum and across Key Stages 1-5. As an external provider, we not only deliver academic support but can also offer mentoring for those who are challenged by being in a mainstream classroom. We provide strategies, in co-ordination with schools to help students back into education. If you're interested in joining the organisation and live in the East Midlands, why not take a look at our contacts page
For those outside of mainstream education, we can offer tailored solutions for activities and sessions which build on their interests or support them in achieving qualifications.

Finding aid (Word)
Frank V. Pelatowski first joined the Navy in 1923. He served in Hawaii during 1925 and 1926, and was discharged in 1927.
Pelatowski returned to the Navy during World War II, serving as a Chief Carpenter's Mate. He had duty at the U.S. Naval Construction Training Center at Camp Peary, Virginia; Camp Endicott, Rhode Island; Naval Construction Training Center, Quoddy Village, Maine; and the Receiving Station in New York City.
Following the war, Pelatowski settled in West Haven, Connecticut. He worked to secure government-funded temporary housing to meet the needs of returning veterans, chairing the Combined Veterans Organizations Housing Committee. He was a member of the AMVETS organization, and ran for the Connecticut General Assembly on the Democratic ticket.
Scope and Content Note
This collection contains personal papers of Chief Carpenter's Mate Frank V. Pelatowski. Most of the material in the collection dates from his World War II service, though there are items from his earlier Navy service and post-war activities. The collection is arranged in four series.
Series I, Correspondence, consists of letters between Pelatowski and his wife, Amie. The bulk of this series is made up of letters sent by Amie between 1943 and 1945. A smaller group of letters that he wrote to Amie in 1943 is also present, as are scattered items from other correspondents. The Correspondence Series is arranged chronologically.
In Series II are photographs, dating largely from his assignment to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in 1925-1926. Also in this series are photographs of the wrecks of seven destroyers--Delphy, Nicholas, S.P. Lee, Young, Woodbury, Chauncy, and Fuller--that ran aground at Point Arguello, California (also referred to as Honda Point) on 3 September 1923. Finally, there is a single photograph of an unidentified child. This series is arranged chronologically.
Series III, Miscellaneous, contains news clippings; the 1943 Christmas menu from Naval Construction Training Center, Quoddy Village, Maine; the Pacific Fleet Submarine Force's Independence Day program for 1926; the rating description for Chief Carpenter's Mate; and several speeches and presentations by Pelatowski. This series is arranged alphabetically.
The final series holds a scrapbook. Much of it consists of postcards from the areas surrounding Pelatowski's various duty stations and from trips taken with Amie while on leave. A number of clippings from his post-war activities are also included.
This collection should be cited as Papers of Frank V. Pelatowski, Archives Branch, Naval History and Heritage Command, Washington, D.C.

The Aspectus team headed out to Holborn’s All Star Lanes recently to welcome James Reynolds in his new role as Account Manager. James brings with him a wealth of PR knowledge and has already proven to be a valuable addition to the FS team (even if not on the bowling lanes!).
The trash-talk had been flying across the office all week, and only intensified as the boys lined up against the girls and collected the evening’s questionable footwear. James made an immediate impact in the boy’s lane with a quick-fire spare, before ending on a respectable 85, while the indomitable Amy (undisputed Aspectus bowling champion) recovered from a stuttering start to take the overall honours with 107.
Luckily for the boys, just as James faltered, Garry and Ian (the slayers of pins) were in the ascendancy and, despite Amy’s devastating action backed by valiant efforts from Jess and Mariko, the girls couldn’t pip the boys to the post.
After the dust had settled, so too did the Aspectus team, replenishing the energy stocks (and rehydrating) with a meal and cocktails. With James still getting to know the office, and Head of North America Steph Johnson over from New York, it was a great opportunity for the ever-expanding Aspectus family to spend some time getting to know each other. Meanwhile, Global Group Director Alastair Turner presided over the evening, supping cocktails from a crystal skull like an affable Bond villain.
The next day at Aspectus Towers, the colourful drinks gave way to the usual teas and coffees as the focus switched back from bowling balls to making calls.

The defenseman wasn’t as fortunate at Washington Capitals development camp, where he suffered a left knee injury Wednesday on a Joe Finley hit.
The bad news: It knocked Miskovic out of the rest of camp.
The good news: He won’t need surgery and is expected to be 100 percent in four to six weeks.
“All things considered, I’ll take this over several other options that it possibly could have been,” Miskovic said. “I’ll take the four to six weeks to get healthy and be ready to come back to main camp just as strong as I would be.
“With the crutches, I’ll probably have a little stronger shoulders and triceps. We’ll take the positives out of it.”
Development camp, which concluded Saturday at Kettler Capitals Iceplex with a scrimmage, gave Bears head coach Mark French and assistant coach Troy Mann a week-long look at a number of players who are expected to compete for jobs in Hershey in 2010-11.
“Mark and I kept an eye on the guys we thought potentially should be with us in Hershey,” Mann said. “We probably gave those guys a little extra look, compared to some of the free agents.”
Finley, Trevor Bruess, Stefan Della Rovere, Anton Gustafsson and Jake Hauswirth all will compete for jobs at Hershey’s training camp.
“Each of the guys showed well,” French said. “I don’t know if anybody showed more than anybody else. We’ve got reason to be optimistic. We’ll see how it all shakes out. I think the main thing we take from it is Washington has shown their depth again.”
Hauswirth (concussion) and Gustafsson (hip flexor) both were injured in the final scrimmage.
First-rounder Gustafsson (2008) played one game for Hershey last season.
“He showed some really good things,” French said. “You certainly see his skill level. I thought that he competed well in all the games and practices. Again, I think the most important thing for him is to get better at each one of these events.”
Free-agent signee Dustin Stevenson, who had a brief in-residence stay with Hershey during the Calder Cup playoffs after his season with La Ronge (SJHL) ended, raised his stock. Originally expected to be ticketed for South Carolina (ECHL), the defenseman may get a chance to make the Bears.
“He needs to work on his foot speed and he probably needs to fill out a little more,” Mann said. “But he really looked good in the games compared to his practices.
“He’s got some work to do, but we’ll do our best in training camp and we’ll see where it takes us as we get farther into camp whether he can crack the lineup with the depth we’ve got.”
Mann also said defenseman Dmitri Orlov, a 2009 second-rounder, may loom as a possibility depending upon his contract situation. Orlov has played in the KHL the past two seasons.
“The Orlov kid showed some stuff,” Mann said. “We don’t know his status. He’s a potential guy.”
The white team beat the red team 3-2 in a shootout. Andy Miele scored for white and had the decisive shootout tally. Eric Alexander, a camp invitee like Miele, also scored for white. Phil DeSimone and invitee David DeKastrozza scored for red.
Bruess and Della Rovere had a spirited fight in the second period. Finley and invitee Anthony Pisano also fought in the second.


For many Australians, self-employment can allow flexibility and more freedom. However, a drawback for some self-employed individuals is difficulty in obtaining home loans.
With many lenders tightening their credit policies, borrowing can become tricky, especially for the self-employed.
For the self-employed, meeting the standard home loan lending criteria can be difficult, the process can take longer and larger deposits are required due to the increased risk of cash-flow fluctuation.
‘Low-doc’ home loan option
The low-doc home loan option is a more flexible financing solution for the selfemployed who have income and assets, but may not have the usual paperwork and standard income verification documents necessary to apply for a loan.
They generally do not require traditional proof of income. Lender dependant, borrowers will normally need to provide confirmation of their self-employment status – such as a registered ABN held for over two years.
Up-to-date tax returns and financial statements are generally needed to confirm and verify income. Lenders may even require business activity statements (BAS), trading statements or a letter from your accountant.
However, there are often limits on the borrowing total, with lenders only allowing you to borrow up to 80 per cent of the total purchase price before the additional requirement of lender’s mortgage insurance.
Traditionally, the interest rate offered is higher than for the standard variable rate, but recently this has been changing to bring these to the same level. Also, you can often transfer to a better rate once you are able to demonstrate your income.
Not every lender will accept home loans from low-doc borrowers and some will require more documentation, but this shouldn’t deter self-employed borrowers from seeking home loan approval. To help improve your chances of low-doc loan approval, you may want to consider talking to a mortgage broker about your options.
