Prof.: Wow. Imagining Rip Taylor as the ghost certainly takes the scary punch out of it, doesn't it? Once seen, it can't be unseen.

Guy: looking at your marvelous work and Fraga's; would it be fair to say that Mr. Fraga was an influence?

"Tomb Of Ice" is a much better version than the original story from the Iger Studio.
The mountain/snow adventure is working just wonderful in black and white!
They added a page of climbing scenes, by the way.
Hats off to you for posting it.

Spacelord: Thanks for your steady commenting. Yes, sometimes Eerie Pub redraws out-do the originals!

I thought that "Tomb of Ice" was pure Olivera! Where'd you get the Saborido inks info? Me very interested.

- Mykal said...
Mike: I got the Saborido credit from the one and only source I use for Eerie Pub. material: The great The Weird World of Eerie Publications by one Mr. Mike Howlett! - page 310!! credit reads "Olivera;Saborido redraw" It looks like all Olivera to me, too, my friend; but I never argue with The Source! :)
Am I reading something wrong?
- November 1, 2011 at 5:55 PM
- Mike H said...
Hahaha! The Source! No, you're reading right... but you found a typo!! Wonder how that got in there!! Thank you Eagle Eye Mykal! Hopefully, if we get to a second print, we can fix that!

Mike: I knew, for certain, there was an explanation. The Source is never wrong! In Source I trust!

We bombed the wrong side?
Lewis MacKenzie
Five years ago our television screens were dominated by pictures of Kosovo-Albanian refugees escaping across Kosovo's borders to the sanctuaries of Macedonia and Albania. Shrill reports indicated that Slobodan Milosevic's security forces were conducting a campaign of genocide and that at least 100,000 Kosovo-Albanians had been exterminated and buried in mass graves throughout the Serbian province. NATO sprung into action and, in spite of the fact no member nation of the alliance was threatened, commenced bombing not only Kosovo, but the infrastructure and population of Serbia itself -- without the authorizing United Nations resolution so revered by Canadian leadership, past and present.
Those of us who warned that the West was being sucked in on the side of an extremist, militant, Kosovo-Albanian independence movement were dismissed as appeasers. The fact that the lead organization spearheading the fight for independence, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), was universally designated a terrorist organization and known to be receiving support from Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda was conveniently ignored.
The recent dearth of news in the North American media regarding the increase in violence in Kosovo compared to the comprehensive coverage in the European press strongly suggests that we Canadians don't like to admit it when we are wrong. On the contrary, selected news clips on this side of the ocean continue to reinforce the popular spin that those dastardly Serbs are at it again.
A case in point was the latest crisis that exploded on March 15. The media reported that four Albanian boys had been chased into the river Ibar in Mitrovica by at least two Serbs and a dog (the dog's ethnic affiliation was not reported). Three of the boys drowned and one escaped to the other side. Immediately, thousands of Albanians mobilized and concentrated in the area of the divided city. Attacks on Serbs took place throughout the province resulting in an estimated 30 killed and 600 wounded. Thirty Serbian Christian Orthodox churches and monasteries were destroyed, more than 300 homes were burnt to the ground and six Serbian villages cleansed of their occupants. One hundred and fifty international peacekeepers were injured.
Totally ignored in North America were the numerous statements from impartial sources that said there was no incident between the Serbs, the dog and the Albanian boys. NATO Police spokesman Derek Chappell stated on March 16 that it was "definitely not true" that the boys had been chased into the river by Serbs. Chappell went on to say that the surviving boy had told his parents that they had entered the river alone and that three of his friends had been swept away by the current. Admiral Gregory Johnson, the overall NATO commander, further stated that the ensuing clashes were "orchestrated and well-planned ethnic cleansing" by the Kosovo-Albanians. Those Serbs forced to leave joined the 200,000 who had been cleansed from the province since NATO's "humanitarian" bombing in 1999. The '"cleansees" have become very effective "cleansers."
In the same week a number of individuals posing as Serbs ambushed and killed a UN policeman and his local police partner. During the firefight one of them was wounded which caused an immediate switch from Serbian to Albanian as he screamed, "I've been hit"! The UN pursued the attackers and tracked them to an Albanian-run farm where they discovered weapons and the wounded Albanian who had died from his wounds. Four Albanians were arrested. Once again, the ambush had been reported in the United States but not the follow-up which clearly indicated yet another orchestrated provocation by the Albanian terrorists.
Kosovo is administered by the UN, the very organization many Canadians have indicated they would like to see take over from the United States in Iraq. The fact the UN cannot order its civilian employees to go or stay anywhere -- they have to volunteer -- combined with recent history that saw the UN abandon Iraq after a single brutal attack on their compound in Baghdad and the reality that Kosovo, under the organization's administration, is a basket case, disqualifies it from consideration for such a role.
Since the NATO/UN intervention in 1999, Kosovo has become the crime capital of Europe. The sex slave trade is flourishing. The province has become an invaluable transit point for drugs en route to Europe and North America. Ironically, the majority of the drugs come from another state "liberated" by the West, Afghanistan. Members of the demobilized, but not eliminated, KLA are intimately involved in organized crime and the government. The UN police arrest a small percentage of those involved in criminal activities and turn them over to a judiciary with a revolving door that responds to bribes and coercion. The objective of the Albanians is to purge all non-Albanians, including the international community's representatives, from Kosovo and ultimately link up with mother Albania thereby achieving the goal of "Greater Albania." The campaign started with their attacks on Serbian security forces in the early 1990s and they were successful in turning Milosevic's heavy-handed response into worldwide sympathy for their cause. There was no genocide as claimed by the West -- the 100,000 allegedly buried in mass graves turned out to be around 2,000, of all ethnic origins, including those killed in combat during the war itself.
The Kosovo-Albanians have played us like a Stradivarius. We have subsidized and indirectly supported their violent campaign for an ethnically pure and independent Kosovo.We have never blamed them for being the perpetrators of the violence in the early '90s and we continue to portray them as the designated victim today in spite of evidence to the contrary. When they achieve independence with the help of our tax dollars combined with those of bin Laden and al-Qaeda, just consider the message of encouragement this sends to other terrorist-supported independence movements around the world.
Funny how we just keep digging the hole deeper!

That's why I got so surprised and confused when some people I knew suddenly became anti-Serb in 1998 and 1999. Where exactly did everyone get their strange ideas about Serbs, I wondered?
I still don't know the answer.
Believe it.
Yes, and they knew what they were doing.
Probably because they are afraid if we pull out, it will further destabilize the entire region. And we have this thing that we learned in the history books that the assasination in Sarajevo was the spark that ignited WWI.
I don't know where we go from here. Once we get in a place, we don't seem to like to leave. What a mell of a hess we have made of this.
Notice this is the Canadian press. I don't expect to read anything about this in the American press.
I guess what really bothers me is that the planners and shakers want people to learn to live with other ethnic groups. That is simply asking too much for some people. Sad, but true. If people don't play by civilized rules, you cannot force them to live together in peace. It doesn't really even work all that well in America, but the law keeps things in check for now.
"It is a relief when American foreign policy rises from imperialism, if only to arrive at fatuity"-----but our assault on Kosovo, Belgrade, and Serbia is beyond any excuse.
Hey I don't like Serbs when they interfere with some issues in Macedonia.
I don't like Serb criminals that have turned patriots but in fact are still criminals like Arkan and few others.
I like Arkans wife. She is very pretty and has a great voice. :))
I like the Serbs as when they tend to do something they go all the way i.e. they are persistant.
I didn't like them when Dubrovnik was bombed in 1991 for no military aim or gain.
You have seen lots of Yugoslavs (Serbs and Croatians) you just don't know it.
Vlado Divac basketball player (Serb) and Mira Furlan (Croatian) actress in Babylon 5 here is the website:
We've GOT TO get out of Kosovo and give it back to Serbia. If this precedent is allowed to stand, the UN is going to be here demanding that we hand Texas and California over to Mexico on the same stupid basis inside of five years.
I honestly think this is not beyond the pale for about ten years from now. Freepers should run this country. I think this may be the only sane place left on earth.
Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow) MP
Sometimes - not very often - a colleague makes a speech in this Chamber that states a problem more eloquently than one could have done oneself. As one who raised the issue of Kosovo and was granted a private notice question on the subject on Monday, I can only say that the speech made by my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford, South (Mike Gapes) should be read by all who have to make decisions on that desperately difficult problem in the Balkans. I am glad that he referred to the nickel factory.
I shall simply relate a personal experience, and I hope to be forgiven for crudity. I went to stay for four days in Kosovo with my national service regiment, the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, which was on duty there. In the presence of the then colonel, David Allfrey, and the then second in command, now colonel of the regiment, Ben Edwards, I was able to talk at length with some of the local Albanian leaders. I would not have had that conversation had not the guns of the British Army been behind me, because they were pretty rough customers. They were truculent, saying, to put it crudely, "Of course we're going to winwe have the power of the penis." By that, they meant that they were going to use population to achieve their objectivegreater Albania. Some of us who opposed involvement in Kosovo from the beginning thought that we were being taken for a ridetwisted around the little finger of people whose agenda was very different from what Britain and the United States thought they wanted. The way in which we were manipulated by the Albanians must teach us a lesson.
Last week, with the Inter-Parliamentary Union, some hon. Members had long and serious discussions with the incoming Serbian delegation. My hon. Friend the Member for Ilford, South was present and my hon. Friend the Member for Halifax (Mrs. Mahon) chaired the meeting, and they will bear out my account. The Serbs said, among other things, that it was all very well to talk about rebuilding Belgrade, but the old buildings were constructed under the Austro-Hungarian empire, so the centre of their capital city could not be rebuilt unless every stone was taken down and construction started again. Bitterness is mounting, and my impression, which my colleagues might share, was of a highly dangerous and explosive situation. People say that it will take between $30 billion and $100 billion to improve the position.
Alice Mahon (Halifax) MP
4.54 pm
Mrs. Alice Mahon (Halifax) (Lab): I, too, will try to cut my speech down and keep it brief.
We had to deploy an extra 750 troops to Kosovo last week. The entire violent episode exposed the character of the Albanian separatists, some with terrorist and criminal links, who are now in leading positions of power in that province. The Kosovo Liberation Army never disbanded. It simply became the Kosovo Protection Corps. Agim CekuI name him againthe man who ethnically cleansed the Krajina, is in charge of the Kosovo Protection Corps.
I agree with my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford, South (Mike Gapes) that what we saw last week was a flagrant example of ethnic cleansing: 3,500 Serbs were burned out of their homes by well organised gangs and joined the 200,000 who have been expelled from the province during the past five years. Those people are scattered all around Serbia and Montenegro in camps. The hon. Member for Uxbridge (Mr. Randall) and I, as officers of the joint group on Yugoslavia, visited some of those camps. I wish other hon. Members would take the trouble to do so. I am pleased that the spotlight is again on those forgotten ethnically cleansed people. Maybe now note will be taken of them.
The violent attacks against the Serbs and other minorities have gone on under the UN, KFOR and so-called protection force administration since the military campaign ended. It is inconceivable to me and many others in the House that thousands of troops from 30 countries are unable to protect the Serbs and other minorities living in the province. Between June 1999 and last week there were 6,923 attacks on the minorities by the Albanian separatists. I make a distinction between them, and people like Dr. Rugova and the men and women of peace in the Albanian community, but the separatists are in charge and they want an ethnically pure state and a greater Albania. Why else would they destroy 154 churches and monasteries? Why else would they want to wipe out a whole culture and eliminate diversity? Their aim is a greater Albania. I am old enough to remember another regime in Europe that sought to eliminate other races and cultures. The consequences for Europe and the world were disastrous.
The latest outbreak of ethnic cleansing was well organised. The Secretary General of NATO, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, accused the Kosovo Albanians and said:
"What happened last week, orchestrated and organised by the extremist factions in the Albanian community, is unacceptableit should be condemned and it's a shame."
25 Mar 2004 : Column 1129
The UN spokesman said that more than 50,000 people took part in the violence. Only 163 have been arrested. The mob also turned against KFOR and the UN. We know, too, of the tragic killing of two UN policemen.
KFOR must take immediate steps to provide effective protection for the minority communities living under siege. The war criminals such as Agim Ceku and Hashim Thaci who give the Albanian community such a bad name should be arrested and taken to The Hague. UNMIK, which on several occasions has tried to overturn warrants and criminal proceedings against Ceku, should stop doing that.
Let me say something about the links between the separatists and other extremist Islamic groups. On 15 October 2003, a GIS/Defence and Foreign Affairs reportthere have been regular reports since the 1970sindicated that Ceku was directly engaged in support of Albanian-trained Islamic terrorists, and noted:
"During the first half of August 2003 300 Albanian-trained guerrillas including approximately 10 mujahedin (non-Balkan Muslims) were infiltrated across the Albanian border into Kosovo, where many have subsequently been seen in the company (and homes) of members of the so-called Kosovo Protection Corps. The guerrillas were trained in three camps inside the Albanian border at the towns Bajram Curi, Tropoja and Kuks where camps have been in operation since 1997".
From visits to Interpol as a representative on the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, I know that some extremists in Albania and the Kosovo Liberation Army have links with al-Qaeda. Kosovo is in the hands of mafia extremists, organised crime is the main economic activity, and the sinister link to terrorism is definite. I agree with my hon. Friends, and, in particular, with my right hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham, Ladywood (Clare Short), that we must have a serious discussion about the final settlement in Kosovo, because the issue will not go away.
Albania? US? EU?
we all know what happened, we all know about the Serbian churches, but 99.9% of Canadians and Americans don't have a clue about this stuff...
just like, unless you read FR, you wouldn't have known about the atrocities in Haiti during the "peaceful" rule of Aristide.....
honestly, there is such a dirth of infomation about true world affairs...other than clintoons.....
how can the younger generations have any perspective if they have no world views at all.....
comments ?
What was he a professor of? Was he a liberal? What religion was he?
100% correct. Our childrens' children will most likely be still paying for it.....
Only us here at FR I guess.
Was Dubrovnik bombed? Yes.
The old city was hit by medium caliber shells and the harbour was hit with small anti-tank missiles.
I didn't read I was simply watching the news in 1991. Small Anti-tank AT-3 Sagger missiles hit the walls doing little damage and hit several boats. Some hit roof tops. It was a waste of wire guided missiles with no military gain.
Were the Croatians drawing fire? Most probably.
In all it was waste of time on the Serb side and the only result was bad publicity for them.
A Macedonian admiral Bocinov in the Yugoslav navy was on a ship near the city of Split in Croatia when he was ordered to bomb it. The order was so stupid that he refused it and got sacked on the spot.
This out of top of my head so I could be wrong.
With understanding of how the KLA can organized a Kosovo wide riot i.e. ethnic cleansing, one must ponder on the strong possibility the the mass exodus of Albanians during the time of the NATO bombing was in fact organized as well. An AK47 is a great motivator to move on down the road.
I do believe like the so called Racak massacre that every large scale event in kosovo was orchestrated by the KLA and the latest riots and the dead Serbs prove this. This article is well written and provides the world of how the KLA operates which I had the opertunity to see for myself back in 1999/2000. The Serbian VJ and MUP will be back into Kosovo in soon because I do believe NATO will be very busy in other parts of the world in the very near future. Nothing happens in Kosovo unless the KLA decide it is going to happen, Racak was an example like the recent riots. Its time to give up the idea that there can be peace in Kosovo. The only result of that wet dream will be the genocide of the remaining Serbs in Kosovo. I do believe the KLA and those that support them deserve what is coming to them and its a big ugly storm on the horizon. Once again the Serbs are on the front line of the Muslim invaders but I do hope that they are fair with those Albanians that wish to remain in Kosovo peacefully.
Clinton and the democrats have made the muslims mascots to be supported when they can. Like the gays, blacks, hispanics, etc. So we bombed the non-muslims but they were not to be appeased.
``I had no idea that it was a Serb pressure group who were paying for my speaking tour. When I found out I gave the money to Aids research in Canada.''
That was 1994 - one wonders who he would donate his blood money to this time.
The need to rationalize the failure of one's mission by delegitimizing it is a fascinating phenomenon. It's interesting to see the different approaches to the problem taken by the likes of Rose and Mackenzie vs. Dalliare or Smith.
Hey, Mackenzie - did you say that?
Ok, thanks.
There, happy?
Kinda living in the proverbial glass house when you're talking about 'gibberish', Zoran. You asked for a source, I gave it to you. If you don't like that I can actually back up my posts whereas you're talking out your fourth point of contact most of the time, it's up to you to change your behavior, not cast aspersions on mine.
Problem is, you have never been to any of the regions you feverishly defend. Yet, you blast others as liars that have been there or have done investigation/s (first-hand).
Don't you get it? Getting serially banned and then coming back asking another poster how you're doing just isn't conducive towards being viewed as a reputable source for anything other than unintended humor.
You've got the Serbian strain of the Nationalist bug, Zoran, and it's taken you down hard. You can't be part of any solution because you're part of the problem.
Sorry pal, the truth supplants all lies you foment on here, hoplite. If I have been banned, then sue me. This is the internet hoplite. You can text what ever you desire without proving a darn thing.
Pictures of my being there, doing a CI of the area proves the lies you have posted and what the media has posted (ex of the UNMIK Police Officer being ambushed in Northern Kosovo by "Albanian" gunmen. Whom you claim were Serbs posing as Albanians).

After a six-week break, the 2013/14 HSBC Sevens World Series gets back underway at the Dubai Rugby Sevens this weekend.
After a six-week break, the 2013/14 HSBC Sevens World Series gets back underway at the Dubai Rugby Sevens this weekend.
The captains of New Zealand, Australia and England -who are the tournament's top seeded countries -admitted that they expect a tough test this weekend.
While round one of the IRB Women's Sevens World Series starts on Thursday in Dubai, the best in the men's game have until Friday to prepare themselves for action.
DJ Forbes and his all-conquering New Zealanders got the new series underway by winning their first Gold Coast Sevens title. The 2012/13 series champions have won their last three tournaments but have not won the title in Dubai since 2009.
This weekend they top Pool A and face matches against Kenya, France and Portugal.
"Dubai is one of the ones Titch (coach Sir Gordon Tietjens) has wanted to target and it's been a little while now so we're on a good run of wins and hopefully we can keep that going," revealed Forbes.
"Part and parcel of being a New Zealand team is that we're expected to do well.
"On paper it's an awesome side, it's got guys who have been in tournament Cup wins, World Cups, Comm Games, so there's a massive amount of experience and with that comes expectation but it's all on the day and we could have a team of stars but a star team will beat anyone, so we've got to put it together seven minutes at a time.
"I'm the closest I've been to injury-free and now with the Olympics I've got a new drive, a new motivation and a lot of rugby in me, but with a bunch of boys like this it's going to be hard to hold my spot so I've got to try and do my job week in, week out."
Gold Coast runner-up and Player of the Tournament Ed Jenkins knows that Australia have never won here, but is buoyed by the fact that they have never enjoyed such a strong start to a World Series.
He is now looking to carry on that momentum in their pool B clashes with Wales, Scotland and Spain.
"We've never had a start like this so unfamiliar territory for us but it's still early days, there are eight tournaments to go so we'll see how we go this weekend," said Australia's captain, Jenkins.
"We've got a lot of competition for places at the moment and James (Stannard) has been battling for his place and got the late call-up, but unlucky for Cam Clark, who has been performing well recently.
"Looking forward, it looks like the programme is going to be centralised, we've got guys signing new two-year contracts at the moment, so the future of Australia rugby sevens looks bright at the moment.
"There's a belief in the side at the moment, retaining guys helps with that a lot but the guys aren't under pressure at all, hopefully we'll just go out there at the weekend, so what we do best and the results will take care of themselves."
England skipper Tom Powell can point to four previous victories in Dubai since the World Series started, and was involved in the two most recent wins in 2010 and 2011.
However, that counts for nothing under new coach Simon Amor, who is in the process of instilling a new ethos and playing system.
Of the top four seeds, England also face arguably the toughest of the pools with games in Pool C on Friday against Fiji and former England coach Ben Ryan, as well as North American rivals Canada and USA.
"The boys have had good preparation back home and after the results on the Gold Coast hopefully we can replicate what we did here a couple of years ago, rather than last year (Shield winners)," explained Powell.
Once you get going and the fans get behind you here, it's a fantastic place to play. It adds a bit of pressure because people want to see you perform, but it's a special place to play.
"Fiji are one of the household names when it comes to Sevens, and coached by our old coach, which adds a sub-plot. We managed to come out on top against them in the Gold Coast and it will be a tough game here but we'll go in with the right mind-set.
"Canada and USA are both strong teams with good games in them and can turn anyone over, given a chance, so we've got to make sure we're on the money, controlling those games and not under-estimating those teams in any way. They're on the World Series for a reason and both dangerous opposition."
South Africa last won in Dubai in 2008, the season they went on to win their one and only World Series title to date.
They impressed on the Gold Coast, losing to the hosts in the Cup semi-finals, having only arrived a day before after travel disruptions.
This time there have been no such problems and Branco du Preez and Cheslin Kolbe come back to a settled squad under captain Kyle Brown aiming to perform well on day one against Samoa, Argentina and invited side, Russia.
"We've enjoyed the break and it's given us time to reflect on what happened there (in Australia) and we were pretty pleased with how we performed and we've taken a lot that we can take into Dubai," said Brown.
These days you've got to focus on day one, or you'll find yourself in a Bowl (competition) very quickly.
"We've got Argentina first, then Russia and Samoa, so a challenging pool and that's as far as we're looking, to top our pool.
"We'd like to avoid ending up in the Bowl, like last year, and I'd also like to avoid breaking my leg, which is where I ended up last year.
"Cheslin Kolbe is back and I think everyone knows what he brings to us. He's got incredible feet and he's one of those guys who finds the space and puts everyone else into it.
"It's a fairly simple job but he does it incredibly well, and we've got other guys like Branco du Preez, a real stalwart, coming back also."

'"How I wish", said this extraordinary woman who could neither see nor hear, "that all men would take sunrise for their slogan and leave the shadow of sunset behind." … By her incredible victory over the flesh she had left the shadows behind her. Blind, she had seen the sunrise; deaf, she had heard the music of the spheres. I left her with a new sense of our human possibilities.' (Karsh)
Helen Keller was blind and deaf from the age of 19 months after suffering what was termed 'brain fever'. When she was five, her parents sought the advice of Alexander Graham Bell, who urged them to write to the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston. The Institute sent Anne Sullivan to teach her and Sullivan was able to make contact with Keller through touch, teaching her the alphabet and how to read and write in Braille. Keller learnt to listen to people by placing her middle finger on the speaker's nose, forefinger on the lips and thumb on the larynx. She also learnt to talk to a degree and was able to attend RadcliffeCollege from which she graduated with honours in 1904. Keller committed her life to helping the deaf and the blind. Polly Thomson, Keller's secretary from 1914, became Keller's companion after Sullivan's death in 1936.

Clodfelter Fire Update- Evacuated Residents Allowed Home
Kennewick residents who were evacuated yesterday due to a brush fire are now allowed to return to their homes.
Winds helped fuel the fast moving blaze which burned across nine square miles near South Clodfelter Avenue and Leslie Road Yesterday.
Firefighters helped save more than 50 homes, although there were a few reports of damage to fences.
Officials are not sure of the cause.
Original Story-
Firefighters are battling a major brush fire near Clodfelter Road in Kennewick and are working to keep structures and homes in the area safe.
Traffic is blocked off from reaching the area, and people are advised to stay away if at all possible.
I-82 is now closed from milepost 109 to mileopst 113 near Badger Road. There is no estimation as to when the highway will re-open in that area
The public is asked as well to avoid the Clodfelter and Christensen Road area, and not to travel west of Columbia Center Boulevard on 10th or Clearwater Ave.
The Red Cross is also setting up a shelter for those who have had to evacuate their homes a Highlands Middle School in Kennewick.

If you watch Shake It Up, then you know that Kenton Duty plays Gunther, a unique, theatrical and ambitious dancer from a fictional country. His taste in clothes is loud and catchy and celebrates his love of performing, in other words – flashy! We got to talk to Kenton Duty to see what he is like in real life.
Q: What's your favorite thing to do when you have time off?
Kenton: I like to read. I also like to play my guitar, write music, and sing. I really have some great friends. So, hanging out with them is always fun. And, I really enjoy hanging out with my cousin, Sarah. She is one of my best friends. I also enjoy cooking and baking with my parents.
Q: A perfect day would include?
Kenton: Playing my guitar and singing the music I am co-writing. I am working with some amazing people. I would also enjoy being outside and getting any kind of exercise! Then, I would want to put in a few hours of dancing! Then, I would end the day eating a great meal, with dessert of course.
Q: What is your favorite book of all time?
Kenton: I LOVE to read, so this is a hard one for me to narrow down to! The Eragon series was great. I reread it several times! One reason I would recommend it to a friend is that the author, Christopher Paolini, was only 15 when he began writing the book. It shows all of us that if we put our heart and efforts into our passion, we can work toward our dreams!
Q: Favorite digital toy?
Kenton: I like my i-Pod. I load the music I am working on, so I can listen to it and work on it no matter where I am. I also use it to chill when I am preparing for the day. I have a variety of music genres on my iPod. So, there is no telling what I might be listening to when you see me! My family loves to take pictures. So, we usually have a camera or two with us. It is fun. My sisters and I got the bug from my parents. It is fun, too, because we may all have a different idea on the same picture. It really shows you how individualistic everyone can see the same thing.
Q: What is one thing you wish everyone would do to make the world a better place?
Kenton: Well, one thing would be to be nice to others. My parents taught me from a young age to think of others before yourself. And I have found that when I do that, I am a much happier person.
Q: Is there a social or political issue that is particularly close to your heart?
Kenton: I like to support issues that can help other kids. I like to help where there are kids who are sick or who may not have school supplies for their classroom. I also like to help with kids that have come from abusive homes. I also support local homeless shelters that help rebuild families.
Q: What has been your biggest challenge in life?
Kenton: My biggest challenge so far has been juggling schedules. Between acting and music, there are a lot of appointments. Then, you add school on top of that, it gets to be pretty jumbled. I am planning to attend college when I graduate from high school. So, school is very important to me, and the grades and preparation are very important to me.
Q: Do you have any pets?
Kenton: I have a pet Guinea Pig. His name is Peanut. The funniest thing he does is how picky/spoiled he is with his food. He will spit food out of his cage that he doesn't like. He will also throw a fit if he wants pears and you give him apples.
Q: What is your greatest fear?
Kenton: My greatest fear is being around a snake. I really do not like them!
Q: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Kenton: My family and I love the beach. So, I would love to live on a beach. . . on one of the Hawaiian Islands, or in the Caribbean!
Q: Describe yourself in three words.
Kenton: Fun-loving, caring, dedicated.
Q: What is the most important thing you want fans to know about you?
Kenton: I really appreciate the support I have received from fans. I also want fans to know that it is important to share your dreams with your parents and others. My motto I like to share with others is to "Dream Big."

Liar liar: Jonas Gustavsson's phantom Saturday start
Cam Charron
December 06 2011 08:55AM
Kevin McGran, in his story about James Reimer getting Saturday's start in Boston, wrote that head coach Ron Wilson had been only "indicating that Reimer would only back up in Boston." At Friday's practice, the Leafs coach said that "more than likely [the starter] is going to be [Jonas] Gustavsson".
Later in the same scrum, Wilson replied to a question whether he was "being definitive" in the selection of the starting goalie with "I'm not being definitive on anything."
And yet, a couple of members of the Toronto Maple Leafs media circuit have decided that Wilson was lying to the press about the goaltender selection. The headlines said that Gustavsson would start Saturday night, and it was announced earlier Saturday morning that Reimer would get his first start since coming back from a head injury.
Did it matter in the long run? No. The Leafs lost 4-1 on Saturday to the Cup Champion Bruins.
Doug Smith of the Toronto Star wrote:
The coach, who I may have spoken to or listened to three or four times in my life and really have no opinion on as a person, comes out Friday afternoon and says something to the effect that, yes, The Monster will be the goaler in Boston on Saturday because The Kid With Or Without The Concussion isn't ready and will be the backup.
I have to ask exactly what Smith was listening to. Wilson never came out and un-equivocally stated that Gustavsson would be the starting goalie on Saturday. Rather, it seems, he told the young Swedish Monster to prepare as if it were a start in case Reimer wasn't able to go.
The contention really should be from Wilson's post-practice conference on December 3rd before the game against Boston.
Reporter "When did you make the decision?"
Wilson "About three days ago".
Wilson ducked a follow-up question (I can't really tell from who) on why he kept the starting goalie under wraps, calling the issue "ad nauseum" but most reporters in the scrum didn't really seem to take issue with being apparently lied to. In both the Friday and Saturday morning scrums, Wilson kept pressing how Reimer really felt like he was in game shape.
So who was lied to? Was Smith? Was Damien Cox, who went on a Twitter rampage Sunday, calling Wilson's tactics "deception" and repeatedly calling Wilson some form of a "liar" and accused him of "[misleading] media".
Keep in mind, this is from a man who once wrote that:
Everyone has obstacles, and part of our job is to overcome them.
This is indubitably true. The role of the hockey journalist is a tough one. Being a beat-writer is a tough career. It involves long days and many frequent flier miles to get out small bits of information to the public that they can't find anywhere else. When you put a piece of information out there, you want to do your due diligence to make sure it's true lest you end up with egg on your face.
However, nobody did end up with the proverbial egg on face. Everybody is aware that Ron Wilson, for whatever reason, switched his goalies. The quick flip-flop by Wilson, which wasn't so much "Gustavsson" flipped to "Reimer" but appears to be more "there is no definitive starter" flopped to "we had a definitive starter three days ago".
Who knows if there was any hockey parlance involved, if Wilson was offering quotes to the media to stand firmly behind that night's starting goaltender. Many teams don't release their starters until game day. Leafs General Manager Brian Burke said via his Twitter account that Wilson made a switch, as is a coach's prerogative.
A mistruth or two is an obstacle like any other, like sifting through player clichés to find meaningful stories. Sometimes you can avoid that by asking the right follow-up question and hope to catch somebody off-script. It's what you're taught in journalism school. Other times it is about finding the right source.
The public interest isn't better served if the Toronto Maple Leafs don't definitively say who the starting goalie is 24 hours before the game. It is the role of the diligent sports media to discover that. Cox was not lied to. Smith was not lied to. They weren't in the Friday scrum, and they weren't individually addressed. It's not as if Wilson called up the sports departments of the Sun, Star and Globe and said "Jonas Gustavsson is our starter on Saturday night. Book it." Even McGran, who was in the Friday scrum and wrote the game day story, didn't seem to be fazed.
From personal experience, I was once told to "f*** off" by a basketball coach when asking about whether or not a basketball player would play in a game, 30 minutes before tip-off. I recognized this as simply one of the obstacles of my job, and talked to the player after the game to discover that he was always going to be in the lineup.
So which of these reporters with access is going to ask Jonas Gustavsson what he thinks about this and what he was really told. If a reporter can get him on record saying that he was lied to about not getting the start on Saturday, then you have a story.

The University of Miami football program was guilty of more widespread cheating than was found at the University of Southern California in 2010, according to the breadth of their respective NCAA reports. But Miami drew a much lighter sentence Tuesday than USC, again prompting complaints of inconsistent rules enforcement by the governing body of college sports.
"We have always felt that our penalties were too harsh," USC Athletic Director Pat Haden said in a statement Tuesday. "This decision (on Miami) only bolsters that view. Beyond that, we have no further comment."
DECISION: NCAA credits Miami's self-imposed sanctions
Asked about the differences in punishment, the NCAA had an answer – sort of.
"We don't do a great deal of comparative analysis," said Britton Banowsky, chairman of the NCAA's infractions committee.
Instead, he offered two clues: He said Miami's cooperation with NCAA investigators was "commendable" and that the school softened the blow by moving in advance to self-impose harsh penalties, including a two-year ban from postseason play and other recruiting visit restrictions.
Miami's effort to pay the price before the bill came due likely saved it from more severe sanctions.
On Tuesday, the NCAA announced relatively minor additional penalties -- Miami also will be docked three football scholarships per year for three years and be placed on three years of probation. No special limits were placed on the number of new recruits Miami could sign to scholarships can per year, which is capped for all schools at 25.
SUSPENDED: Former Miami coach to miss 5 games
HEFTY: Miami to crack down on impermissible texts
By comparison, the NCAA hit USC so hard with penalties that the Trojans are still trying to recover. They were stripped of their 2004 national title and slammed with 30 scholarship reductions, a two-year bowl ban, four years of probation and a limit of signing only 15 new recruits per year for three years, 10 under the normal annual limit.
The USC case stemmed from rules violations and impermissible benefits involving two players: football's Reggie Bush and basketball's O.J. Mayo.
In the Miami case, there were 18 allegations with 79 sub-issues involving several student-athletes and spanning more than a decade. Multiple football coaches were found to be aware of the cheating but not reporting it. Some coaches also provided the NCAA with false information. In the end, the NCAA's infractions report on Miami was 102 pages, much of it focused on money and gifts to players from booster Nevin Shapiro. The NCAA's infractions report on USC was 67 pages.
But that's not always a predictor of penalties, an expert said.
NCAA rules enforcement "is always inconsistent, arbitrary and capricious," said David Ridpath, a frequent NCAA critic and president-elect of the Drake Group, which seeks reform in college athletics. "Miami had a couple things going for it: It cooperated better than USC and the NCAA screwed up publicly. They were not going to bring the hammer down too much, but they wanted to use a velvet hammer. The self-imposed sanctions were significant, too."
Banowsky stressed that each case is unique and cautioned against comparing punishments between schools.
Try telling that to USC, which has seen several football programs receive lighter punishments since 2011 despite committing an array of similar sins. In 2011 and 2012, the NCAA found that Ohio State and North Carolina had multiple players receiving a combined $45,000 in impermissible benefits. As a result, the NCAA slapped those two schools with 24 combined scholarship reductions and a one-year bowl ban for each.
Banowsky also pointed out that different cases are decided by different infractions committees, which are composed of several officials from various schools and conferences sitting in judgment of the school under investigation.
"Each committee is a different group of people," said Banowsky, commissioner of Conference USA.
In 2010, the chairman of the NCAA infractions committee was Paul Dee, the former Miami athletic director under whose watch many of Miami's infractions took place. When he announced USC's sanctions in 2010, Dee infamously justified USC's harsh sanctions by saying that "high-profile players demand high-profile compliance."
Some thought those words would come home to roost for Miami, but the Hurricanes escaped long-term ramifications.
USC's penalties substantially weakened the Trojans' roster and undoubtedly contributed to the recent firing of head coach Lane Kiffin. From the NCAA's standpoint, USC looked the other way despite obvious signs of cheating, including not adequately checking how Bush was able to purchase a 1996 Chevrolet Impala with new wheel rims during his sophomore season in 2004. USC also self-imposed penalties, but only in women's tennis and men's basketball, which included a post-season ban for 2010 and a one-scholarship reduction for two seasons.
"The institution never undertook the follow-up necessary to obtain complete information regarding the vehicle," the NCAA report said.
The defiance of Haden's predecessor, Mike Garrett, didn't help matters for the Trojans, either.
When the NCAA penalties came out, he called it "nothing but a lot of envy." The NCAA's report on USC in 2010 still said the school "met its obligation" in cooperating with investigators, just not enough to mitigate its punishment.
"USC struck me — especially Garrett — as holier than thou," Ridpath said. "Not that the system is fair, but from my vantage point USC was their own worst enemy."
Garrett, now the athletic director at Langston University in Oklahoma, deferred comment Tuesday to USC when contacted by USA TODAY Sports.
The NCAA's own investigative shortcomings also seemed to benefit Miami. The NCAA admitted to missteps in February after getting caught trying to obtain evidence for its case through Shapiro's bankruptcy proceeding. NCAA President Mark Emmert condemned the move and said any evidence obtained improperly would not be used in the case.
"When determining the facts of the case and appropriate penalties, the committee only considered information obtained appropriately during the investigative process and presented at the hearing," the NCAA said in a statement Tuesday.

A vision of Britain between 1801 and 2001.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
This is one of our more unusual themes, because only two censuses have ever gathered
information on religion in England and Wales, and they were 150 years apart!
The 1851 Census of Religion was a separate census carried out at the same time as the main Census of Population. It assumed that everyone was Christian, and tried to find out what kind of Christians were most important in each district. It did this by counting how many people attended each church on the census Sunday. Our information has been considerably simplified from the original returns, which counted 35 different religious groups in England and Wales. One result is a large 'other' category.
In 2001, a question about religion was included among the questions in the main census for the first time ever. Except in Scotland, where there is separate information on the Church of Scotland, Catholics and 'Other Christian', the results lump all Christians together but also gathered information on Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and Sikhs. People were allowed to write in other religions not included on the census form, but we have no data on the distribution of 'Jedi'.
Our detailed statistics are held in structures called nCubes, which you can think of as tables with one dimension, or with two ... or with twenty. Their dimensions are defined by the variables each nCube combines, and each variable is made up of categories. These nCubes are available at national level for this theme:
|Available nCubes
|Period covered
(number of categories)
|1851 church 'attendances'
Major Christian denominations in 1851
|Religious Faiths
Major religious faiths in 2001
|Attending all churches

Skip to comments.Mel Gibson: $5 Mil to Fringe Church (FOX attacks "antiquated Catholic ideology")
Posted on 02/20/2004 5:46:17 AM PST by Behind Liberal Lines
Mel Gibson's put his money where his mouth is. By now everyone in the world knows he's spent $25 million to make "The Passion of the Christ" and promised nearly $25M more to market it.
But what you may not know is that Gibson has also put up $5.1 million so far to run his own personal church near Malibu.
Last year Christopher Noxon wrote in The New York Times that Gibson had donated $2.3 million to make Holy Family Catholic Church in Agoura Hills, California a reality. Holy Family rejects the universally accepted teachings of the Second Vatican Conference and chooses to stick with antiquated Catholic ideology.
Bu it turns out that Gibson has donated a little more than twice that amount to Holy Family since 1999, according to federal tax filings. And that's not counting 2003, since the most recent report has not yet been filed.
Gibson and his wife Robyn are listed in federal tax records as directors of the Holy Family Catholic Church. The church is run out of Gibson's Icon Production company offices, with an Icon employee responsible for keeping the church's books.
The Gibsons' tax-free donations to Holy Family are made possible by a charity they established called the AP Reilly Foundation, which is named for Mel's late mother. The foundation was created on October 29, 1999 for the sole purpose of creating the church.
The church, by the way, has an unlisted phone number, keeps its address a secret and has asked those who have the information not to release it.
Gibson is no stranger to controversy when it comes to voicing his opinion about his religious beliefs. In a 1992 interview with the Spanish magazine El Pais, his comments about homosexuals which cannot be printed here caused an international stir.
In the same interview Gibson talked about the fact that his brand of Traditionalist Catholics did not subscribe to the Second Vatican Council's 1965 rulings on various subjects including who was responsible for the death of Jesus Christ.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
This Roger Friedman has got to go.
Perhaps "widely accepted" would have been a better phrase.
And when will Islam or wahhabism be spoken of with such disdain? "This primitive, backward, and bloodthirsty variant of Islam is quite popular among the leaders of our so-called ally Saudi Arabia." You don't see it often put like that. But I guess its OK to badmouth Christian tradition.
Holy Family rejects the universally accepted teachings of the Second Vatican Conference and chooses to stick with antiquated Catholic ideology.
How could the teachings of Vatican 2 be 'universally accepted' if in the same sentence he says that this church in particular rejects some of those teachings? It can't be 'universally accepted' if one group doesn't accept them. This reads like a sentence in a first draft of a high school newspaper article, which a smart faculty supervisor or senior class editor would fix.
I think the quality in writing on balance in the major media outlets has really plummeted in the last 20 years or so. On the other hand, the writers are the best and brightest ever - they have told me so. ;-)
Technically, Gibson's church is "fringe," since it is not in union with the Los Angeles archdiocese and is outside the Catholic mainstream.
They ARE universally accepted within the Catholic Church.
Gibson's chapel is not in union with the Catholic Church and Rome.
Of course Gibson is free to believe whatever it is that he chooses, despite the teachings of the Pope.
Never mind that his father only days ago referred to this Pope as an a$$.........
Flame away because it's clear that those who revere Gibson are keepers of the only true thoughts about the matter.
It's one thing to attack Gibson's behavior. It's another to cast aspersions on a religion.
I believe that less than five percent of Americans are Jewish. Is that a "fringe" religion too, now? How about Buddists? Or the Mennonites? Or the Mormons? Are the "antiquated" religions?
Scrutinize Gibson for shady business dealings or intemperate statements (if they, in fact, exist). But don't single out a religion for attack.
Gibson's chapel has 70 members and attendance is by invitation only.
That's an "exclusive" church.
Ever heard of tithing? Apparently Mel Gibson has:
Malachi 3:8-12
8. "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, 'How have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.
9. "You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you!
10."Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.
11. "Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes," says the LORD of hosts.
12."All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land," says the LORD of hosts.
No one in the Catholic Church is empowered to build his own chapels or separate himself from the Pope, which Gibson has done.
I'm rebuking Hutton Gibson's Holocaust Denial and antisemitism. I'm criticizing Mel Gibson for not rebuking and correcting him.
I believe that less than five percent of Americans are Jewish. Is that a "fringe" religion too, now?
You tell me. Tell me what you really believe about the Jews. Share your deepest feelings. Get it all out.
How about Buddists? Or the Mennonites? Or the Mormons? Are the "antiquated" religions?
You tell me. Share your pain.
Scrutinize Gibson for shady business dealings or intemperate statements (if they, in fact, exist).
"Intemperate statements" ? ...
A denial
A denial
A denial
But don't single out a religion for attack.
I don't consider Holocaust Denial and Antisemitism to be a religion but if it were I would single it out for attack.
It is not common among mainline Catholics to reject Vatican II. Those who do reject it likely number less than 5% of active Catholics.
This has always been the case, and it is today.
Nothing incites people to fury more than the subversion of their illusions--especially when they are subverted by confrontation with truth. People will kill to prevent truth from threatening their illusions.
Notice how "Liberals" recoil in horror and anger when faced with truth.
Present the truth, and you could well find yourself crucified.
Uh....I hate to break this to you,since you're obviously looking for an excuse to call me an anti-Semite, but I'm in a mixed marriage.... my wife is Jewish. My kids are Jewish. Bar Mitzvahs and the whole deal.
We celebrate Christmas and Hannukkah in December, Easter and Passover in the Spring and Rosh Hashannah in the fall.
We both are looking forward to seeing this film because we think it will be a great piece of cinema.
Neither of us approve of bashing a religion as "antiquated" or "fringe" just because we disagree with it.
I'm simply noting that calling a small, or unpopular, religion "fringe" or "antiquated" in a major news outlet potentially opens the door to casting other such religions in a negative light.
Actually that is not quite correct.
Extract from a reply written on May 3,1994 by Cardinal Edward Casssidy, President of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity,to an inquiry about the status of the Society of St.Pius X "... Regarding your inquiry (March 25, 1994) I would point out at once that the Directory on Ecumenism is not concerned with the Society of St. Pius X. The situation of the members of this Society is an internal matter of the Catholic Church. The Society is not another Church or Ecclesial Community in the meaning used in the Directory. Of course the Mass and Sacraments administered by the priests of the Society are valid. The Bishops are validly, but not lawfully, consecrated.... I hope this answers your letter satisfactorily."
Hence, Widely accepted would be more correct, than Universally.
And as to choosing between VII and SSPX....
Better to be a schismatic, than a heretic.
Do you have evidence of this? I have seen Mel's theology/church referred to as "rejecting the reforms of VII and denying the authority of the Pope", but this seems to always be third-party hearsay. One can attend Latin indult masses and be skeptical of the manner in which VII is implemented, while still recognizing VII's authority and Papal authority in general as I do and remain in perfect union with Rome. I consider myself an Orthodox Traditionalist Catholic - I don't know if this is where Mel stands or if he has thrown his hat in with the Lefebvre gang.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but this is an important distinction and I have never seen it directly addressed by Mel.
I imagine that if he didn't do this, he would have to contend with groupies showing up there just to get a glimpse of him and possibly disrupting the service.
I was speaking rhetorically about the idea that one can feel justified attacking a religion simply because it might not have as many adherants as some others and might not be considered "modern" by some.
The actor does not hide his disdain for the Catholic Church. In a January 2003 interview with Time, he condemns Vatican II, saying it corrupted the institution of the church. Look at the main fruits: dwindling numbers and pedophilia." The 40-year gap between the colloquium and the current scandal is conveniently not addressed
American Daily.
Gibson is not in union with Rome, though he will not come out and say so.
And if the church was the Celebration of the Divinity of Celebrity Belly-Button Lint, they'd be kissing his butt.
It's amazing how the media crucifies people that don't share their ideology!
That's your opinion. IMO, Vatican II was necessary to remove the "fortress mentality" that surrounded the Church prior to 1962.
I think the most important thing is that Gibson's chapel needs to be in union with God and the Bible. If it is, then there is no problem.
He's wrong. The practice is frowned upon, but hardly outlawed. See 36.

Agency Cost Of Free Cash Flow, Corporate Finance, and Takeovers
Michael C. Jensen
Social Science Electronic Publishing (SSEP), Inc.; Harvard Business School; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
American Economic Review, Vol. 76, No. 2, May 1986
The interests and incentives of managers and shareholders conflict over such issues as the optimal size of the firm and the payment of cash to shareholders. These conflicts are especially severe in firms with large free cash flows--more cash than profitable investment opportunities. The theory developed here explains 1) the benefits of debt in reducing agency costs of free cash flows, 2) how debt can substitute for dividends, 3) why diversification programs are more likely to generate losses than takeovers or expansion in the same line of business or liquidation-motivated takeovers, 4) why the factors generating takeover activity in such diverse activities as broadcasting and tobacco are similar to those in oil, and 5) why bidders and some targets tend to perform abnormally well prior to takeover.

Lee, Spike (Shelton Jackson Lee), 1957–, American filmmaker, b. Atlanta, Ga. He gained recognition as a student at New York Univ. with his graduation film, Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads (1982). His films usually celebrate the richness of African-American culture and address such societal problems as racism, sexism, and narcotics addiction. She's Gotta Have It (1986), a low-budget film mainly about sexual relations and attitudes, established Lee as a commercially viable director. His Do the Right Thing (1989) presented the complexities and tensions behind interracial relations. Many of his subsequent films have been controversial— Jungle Fever (1991), an exploration of interracial relations and attitudes; Malcolm X (1992), based on the life of the African-American leader; Clockers (1995), a violent portrait of life at the lowest reaches of the drug underworld; Girl 6 (1996), a high-spirited portrayal of a young woman in the phone sex business; and The Original Kings of Comedy (2000), a series of racially charged stand-up routines by four contemporary African-American comedians. He broke with his traditional style and subject matter to make Inside Man (2006), a polished heist movie. Lee first turned to documentary with 4 Little Girls (1996), a moving study of the fatal 1963 bombing of a black church in Alabama. The made-for-TV When the Levees Broke (2006) documents Hurricane Katrina and its harrowing aftermath in New Orleans; If God Is Willing and da Creek Don't Rise (2010) is its sequel. His Oldboy (2013), a revenge story about man kidnapped for 20 years then freed, is a remake of a 2003 South Korean film.

An Australian man has hacked Apple's Siri and is using it as the remote for his home automation system, which set him back only $110.
Sydney's Marcus Schappi spent a measly $108.40 on a set up that'll turn on a lamp and open web pages by simply speaking to his phone. Next on the 28 year-olds home auto list is a Siri controlled front door and chicken hutch, where his conversational voice instructions will open, close and lock them.
In an interview with the SMH, Schappi said his simple setup has the potential to control his air conditioning system, manage his home entertainment system or even remotely unlock his car. However, Schappi predicts Apple will want to plug the loophole he exploited in the software quickly.
"Anything with a remote control is instantly up for grabs," he said.
"When Apple shipped the iPhone 4S, only a subset of Siri functionality was made available to Australian consumers. [This hack] could provide an opportunity for developers to fill the gap."However, he is concerned an Apple fix could compromise the experience for customers. Apple is now left with a dilemma: patch the hole and risk compromising iOS 5, or leave it as is and lose its Siri leverage.
"They could push out a patch that breaks things, but this would be a bad customer experience," he said.
"If Apple could secure Siri it would allow Apple an enormous amount of leverage."
Schappi's app-savvy bravado was nurtured as a hobby while studying. Eventually it turned into a more serious career, with Schappi starting the Little Bird Electronics. Currently he acts as the company's Managing Director, but also finds the time to work on applications for companies like Qantas, Caltex, Foxtel, Austar and the NSW Rural Fire Service.
"I've just switched over fulltime to what was the hobby business I founded whilst at university [Little Bird Electronics]," he said.
Schappi describes his home-brewed system as "relatively inexpensive." It uses an Arduino board with an Ethernet port ($24.95), two Arduino compatible relay modules ($13.50) and an electronic switch ($13.50), totalling $108.40.
Schappi hopes his business will distribute such kits early next year. Check out a demo of his handy work in the video below:

LG has released a new range of IPS computer monitors that have inherited the stellar genetics of their leading TVs.
"By combining LG's Cinema Screen Design and MHL functionality with the industry's leading IPS technology, the IPS7 series is able to offer stunning design with leading edge viewing performance," said Lambro Skropidis, LG Marketing General Manager.
"With the rapid growth in the number of mobile smart devices such as smartphones and tablets, the availability of content has greatly expanded. LG's IPS7 expands the user experience, enabling viewers to take full advantage of this content-rich environment."
The M52 range ups the ante by doubling as a TV. It features an in-built TV tuner and will support HD broadcasting, DVDs, internet games and photos.
The D43 range is differentiated by its Cinema 3D capabilities, including the company's 2D to 3D conversion technology. Gamers will naturally gravitate towards the D43 as it features LG's Dual Play. By popping on Dual Play glasses, two players can see their gaming action on the whole screen simultaneously without their competitor stealing a peak.
The monitors come in a range of sizes and can be purchased from retailers today.
