The Crews
By David Hanson
Wakeskating, like any other board sport, is better done with friends. Actually, it is one of the few board sports that is actually impossible to do without friends (unless of course, you only ride cable.) But either way, having a posse just makes it more fun. That way you have people around to get stoked when you land a trick, tell you you suck when you don't, and most importantly, back you up in a fight. In wakeskating, the best posses ride together, party together and live together, all the while furthering their respective scenes. In their honor, here are some profiles of the best crews, past and present.
It just wouldn't be right to do a crews story and not talk about Cassette. "First off, it was the best crew of all time. The best crew of all wake, not just wakeskating," Thomas said. The Cassette dudes did everything themselves. "We were the only crew that did its own wakeskates, own videos and threw its own parties in my warehouse. We invented concave and bi level wakeskates and put out the first wakeskate magazine called Analog." FuelTV actually called Cassette one of the ten best crews in actions, ever.
The glory days may be over, but no one should ever forget everything that Cassette did for wakeskating.—BG
Location: Thomas's warehouse, Orlando, FL
Official Members: Thomas Horrell, Aaron Reed, Myles Vickers, Jim Leatherman, Justin Tucker, Joshua Johnson, Danny Hampson, Danny Molina, Sam Ratto, Drew Mcguckin, Tim Kovacich and many others.
Pull of Choice: The Session Boat, and Sea Doo, and we invented the winch
Photographer: Josh Letchworth
Token Strapper: NONE. Apparently strappers didn't enjoy being relentlessly mocked.
Latest Video: NARLA. But they were the pioneers of the first all wakeskate video, Linear Perspective.
The area code "941" has become pretty well known these days, and even synonymous with super radical wakeskating. These guys pretty much get really good really fast, and no one really knows why… I know the 941 has had their scuffles in the past, but in the end these guys still stick together and rock their scene pretty hard. I decided to get the inside scoop from Nick Taylor, since he has been riding down there longer than nearly anyone.–DH
Location: Bradenton/Anna Maria Island, Florida
Official Members: Nick Taylor, Stu Shinn, Travis Doran, Andrew Fortenberry, Cory Wash, Jordan Spraig, Tommy Wooter, Jimmy Chadsey, and Father Time (Nick's dog)
Pull of choice: Stu's X-Star, Nick's SeaDoo
Official Photographer: Goldie Bear
Token Strapper: "Oh, we kicked him out."
Latest video: Volume 6 ("That was the last one we were all in")
The Oregon Trail Trash crew is one you have to experience to understand. Basically these guys live to have a good time. Zak Stone knows how to get things done, like his huge video project he just finished, Not What Cha Think, which chronicles the life and times of the OTT, livin' and lovin' life up in the beautiful state of Oregon. Really great vibes around OTT, and always a party. I caught up with Zak to hear the inside scoop on OTT, which he summed up here. "We All work normal jobs, We ride at least once a week! We are year round, and I mean year round. It frees us from our life and puts the joy of being a kid back into our souls! I love my Crew, They all work very hard and helping out and making it happen… Riding use to be a solo sport, but really it's the biggest team sport I can think of. Your riders, filmers, drivers, photographers, rail Builders, rope pullers, and even the food bringers!!!"–DH
Location: West Salem, OR is the OTT headquarters, "but we mob all over Oregon"
Official Members: Zak Stone, Andrew Belzer, Nick Kramer, Brett Jackson, Phill Combs, Kacey Lyn, Joe Miller, Russell Young, Trenton Ataue Young, Spencer Ellis, Bryan Swarm, Joe Poitras, DJ Gitdown, Donavon Sipple, Cody Miller, Kelly Gilmore, Jear "Bear" Holms, Matt Vestlic, Zach Snyder, Greg Waters, Danni Combs, Tony Biasi, Leaf and Tyler Ploub, Chris DeGeorges, "and all the riders that have filmed with us I feel are part of the crew, they help out in lots of ways and we all have a great OTTime."
Pull of choice: Duh! Winch Bitch, AKA The Hive
Official Photographer: Spencer Ellis, Bryan Swarm, Brett Jackson when he brings his camera. "I also like jumping behind the lens. JAM took my dvd cover pic so gotta give him mad props."
Token Strapper: "Brett Jackson is amazing, Phill Combs is coming back from the dead, we rode last night he killed it. Even I am strapping in again!"
Latest video: Not What Cha Think!!!
The homeless crew is a band of vagabond winchers on a mission to change the way people look at wakeskating and wakeboarding. These dudes are constantly traveling the roads of America looking for winch gaps and tearing them apart. Their newest film, Homeless, hit stores early in 2008 and featured only winch riding, the first video of its kind. These guys are visionaries and revolutionaries, taking wakeskating to a different level. With Kyle Walton at the helm of this runaway pirate ship, I got the scoop on Homeless from the man himself.–DH
Location: Bellingham, Washington
Official Members: Nothing is official in this world! www.LaSewer.com Josh Jansson, Jake Slone, Funk, Brandon Rau, Krooked Murff (Kyle Murphy), Gore, Tim Kovacich, Vinny Knapp, Kyle Walton, "and every other broke ass trying to make it the right way."
Pull of choice: WINCH
Official Photographer: Jake Slone, and JJ
Token Strapper: Right now Vinny is a loaded gun firing rounds!!!
Latest video: Homeless is in stores, Change is Good is in the making!
Ever wonder how the top guys in the industry get to be that way? Well the fact that they all ride together certainly helps. Add in their leader is the one of the most influential and respected people in wakeskating, and you have a recipe for success. It's hard to call this crew by one name, but as of late they've been showcased in (and producing) the Volume Wakeskate Video series, so we're going with that. –BG
Location: Lake Georgia, Orlando, FL
Official Members: Scott Byerly, Brian Grubb, Brandon Thomas, George Daniels, Drew McGuckin, Blood, Brian Dalton
Pull of Choice: Byerly and BT's Nautiques, Grubb's Malibu Wakesetter VLX
Official Photograper: Matt Malloy, Bryan Soderlind
Token Strapper: Nope
Latest Video: Volume 7
It's pretty safe to say that the Narcoossee Posse is past its glory days, but that doesn't mean it won't be brought back to fruition some day! Many people have moved from the Narc, but the cool waters of Lake Whippoorwill and the hot coals of many a bonfire still burn deep in all of our souls and keep us connected to our roots and to each other. The Narc-P is all about having fun, riding with our buddies, and enjoying life out here in the country.–DH
Location: Narcoossee, FL
Official Members: Chase Connor, Johnny Kerce, David Hanson, Adam Errington, Steve and Jeff McMurtrie
Pull of choice: Anything on Lake Whippoorwill!
Official Photographer: JAM!
Token Strapper: Adam…but we still love him
Latest video: Silhouette was the first (and only) legit Narc-P crew video. Released in December 2005, it featured full parts from all the talent Narcoossee has to offer. These are rare to find, hold onto it if you get one, and watch out for Chase Connor's gangster opening part and some Kyle Walton cameos!
The DSG (Down South Gangstas) started way back in a small river in Woodstock Georgia and just spread through out all of the south. With the spread came some distances between the members but the crew still holds STRONG through branch off groups. –SJ
Location: ATL Georgia, The South
Official Members: Russell Brightwell, Jake Slone, Vinny Knapp, Tim Bragg, B team goes on for days…
Pull of choice: The purple or the green jet ski, 12 gauge winch, homeless winch, THE SUNBIRD R.I.P.

Kalanchoe hates soggy soils
If it were to send out notices of a family reunion, the kalanchoe would have more than 125 envelopes to lick. An avid collector can find varieties from a few inches in height to a few feet tall. Some are creepers.
The kalanchoe most commonly found in nurseries is 3 feet tall and perennial. You can count on this succulent to give you blooms in the hottest part of the year. The kalanchoe name is pronounced with the final "e" audible. You may have heard it called "air plant."Kalanchoes are found in the wilds of South America, China and Java, but Madagascar is considered its homeland. The name is from a Chinese word. These constant bloomers were originally brought from Madagascar to Paris in 1927, where a German merchant named Blossfeld managed to grow them as houseplants. According to www.valentine.fr, the merchant began to trade his kalanchoe plants, which made them more popular. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is a common variety named after him.
The people of the Amazon use kalanchoe as an herbal remedy even today. They infuse the leaves and use the tea as a popular remedy for fevers. The leaves are boiled and applied to skin ulcers. The leaves are soaked overnight and the liquid is consumed the next morning for heartburn.
If you have an area of your yard that doesn't get much water, this is the perfect option. How about a kalanchoe in a cactus garden or rock garden? They don't want much water and just hate a soggy location.
Beautiful varieties of colors can be found including reds, pinks, purple, white, yellow, orange and bi-colors. They are precious with their compact shape, rich foliage and study stems. You will love the kalanchoe because of its long-lasting flowers and ease of care. They love our warm temperatures and can grow both indoors and out.

Greece Upgrade
Greece's 10-year government bonds advanced, pushing the yield below 9 percent for the first time since October 2010, after Fitch Ratings yesterday raised its grade one level to B-, citing "clear progress" on rebalancing the economy. The yield fell 96 basis points to 8.36 percent.
Three shares advanced for every two that dropped in the Stoxx 600, which traded near the highest level since June 2008. Commerzbank AG surged 15 percent, rebounding from a record low, on the first day of a rights offer to raise about 2.5 billion euros ($3.3 billion). EasyJet Plc rallied 5.6 percent as Europe's second-largest discount airline reported a narrower first-half loss. London Stock Exchange Group Plc rose 3.6 percent as profit topped estimates.
The decline in S&P 500 futures indicated the U.S. gauge will retreat from a record. A report at 8:30 a.m. local time may show manufacturing in the New York region expanded for a fourth month in May, with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's general economic index rising to 4 this month from 3.1 in April, according to the median of 52 estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists. A separate release may show U.S. factory output declined in April.
Emerging Markets
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index slipped less than 0.1 percent even as three stocks rose for every two that declined. Russia's Micex index slid 0.6 percent while the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland companies listed in Hong Kong added 0.5 percent. India's Sensex jumped 2.3 percent, the most in a month, after Reserve Bank of India Governor Duvvuri Subbarao said yesterday that he would "take note" of softening inflation at next month's policy review.
Chinese corporate borrowing will probably exceed that of U.S. companies within the next two years, according to S&P. Non- financial institutions from the world's second-largest economy will need $18 trillion of debt during the five years ending 2017, the ratings company said in a report yesterday. That's 34 percent of the $53 trillion in bonds and loans S&P estimates will be sought globally and compares with $13 trillion forecast for U.S. companies.
Gold fell for a fifth day, the longest slump since February, losing 1 percent to $1,411.34 an ounce, and silver dropped 1.9 percent. Copper declined 1.1 percent and nickel retreated 1.2 percent. China is the biggest buyer of industrial metals. West Texas Intermediate oil was down 0.7 percent to $93.52 a barrel, the fifth consecutive decline and the longest streak since Dec. 10.

Internet crimes
Given the global reach of the Internet, the posting of child abuse material online constitutes an international crime and demands concerted collaboration worldwide.
At INTERPOL, we work very closely with many partners to increase awareness, enforce laws and to prevent crime in this area. We also work with organizations to improve safety and security online.
We run many initiatives,including the development of a victim identification network and the coordination of international operations. Key to identifying victims is the International Child Sexual Exploitation database.
A key project involves the monitoring of websites to develop the "worst of" list of sites depicting child sexual abuse/exploitation material that are illegal in all countries. We then work with Internet Access Service Providers (ASPs) to block access to sites containing child abuse material which fit a strict criteria.
Identifying videos of abuse
To aid law enforcement in fighting crimes against children, a new forensic technology has been developed to assist in finding and removing the most explicit videos of child sexual exploitation from the Internet.
Created by online security technology provider Friend MTS and donated to the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, the technology generates a unique digital signature, like a fingerprint, of child sexual abuse videos, which can then be compared with other videos to detect matching 'fingerprints'.
Once a video is given a 'fingerprint', police and Internet service providers can quickly and easily identify full or partial copies of the video wherever they are hosted online. This enables online providers to filter and block known child sexual abuse material, and helps police to investigate cases of online child abuse more efficiently.
The Baseline system allows partners in the public and private sectors to recognize, report and remove child sexual abuse material from their networks.
They can do this by checking images and videos on their networks against the Baseline list of 'digital signatures', which is calculated from some of the worst child abuse images and videos recorded in INTERPOL's International Child Sexual Exploitation database.
In the case of a match, the network operators alert the police and can remove the material, thereby limiting its circulation.
The Baseline list is made up of 'hash codes', and does not include the images and videos themselves. A digital signature is only added to the Baseline list following agreement by three different members of INTERPOL's specialist network of investigators as meeting strict criteria in terms of the severity of the image content, for example those believed to feature children aged 13 and under. The strict criteria ensure that the Baseline list refers only to images and videos which would be considered as illegal in any country.

On earth and in heaven
Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever, flowing from the throne of God?
Yes, we'll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river, that flows from the throne of God.
On the margin of the river, washing up its silver spray;
We shall walk and worship ever, all the happy golden day.
Ere we reach the shining river, lay we ev'ry burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver and provide a robe and crown.
At the smiling of the river, mirror of the Savior's face,
Saints, whom death will never sever, lift their songs of saving grace.
Soon we'll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace.

Many Christians still love this song, more than a century after it was written, because its simple message of faith, comfort, and hope still resonates. I suspect that the song's lyrics have reminded many Christians of river baptisms where their friends and family gathered.

NEWARK � Wayne County Council for the Arts presents �Fifty Years� of photos by Winston Vargas.
Born in Santiago, Dominican Republic, his family immigrated to New York in 1952 when he was age of 11. Winston started his photo career at the age of 13 when his teacher loaned him a camera for a field trip to the zoo. He was the school photographer for his high school newspaper. Winston joined the Army and went to Europe where he continued his photo interest and won a couple of awards in military photo contests. In 1965 when he was released from the military, he was able to land a job as a photo assistant at BBD&O which was at the time one of the largest Ad agencies in the country. Two years later he was in charge of one of the two studios at the agency.
�I started photo journalism at the Germain School of Photography in NYC and my instructor was the picture editor of Newsweek magazine, which gave me the opportunity to get photo assignments for the magazine which lasted a few years,� Winston said. �While taking the journalism course, I was assigned to document in still photography for the Department of the Interior areas of the City of New York for a permanent exhibition at the Museum of Immigration on Liberty Island. I had my own study in NYC doing corporate and promotional photography. In 1972 I started teaching commercial and photo journalism photography at the Germain School, and started the first bi-lingual courses at the school. I also taught the first Video Tape course when video was at its infancy. In 1979 my family and I moved to the Dominican Republic where I got a position as Director of Photography at Young and Rubicam Advertising Agency. In 1984 I returned to the U.S. and started teaching again and doing freelance work for publications. In 1995 as a partner in a news gathering organization supplying TV networks with breaking news in the NY Tri-State area. On 9/11, I covered the World Trade Center disaster and continued freelancing both in video and still photography.�
Winston has received credits in some of the following: Newsweek Magazine, Time Magazine, Business Week, The American History Book/Duskin Publishing, NY State Council for the Arts.
In the Chris Fayad Members� Gallery, we are happy to present artist Judi (Palermo) Shumway. Judi grew up in Newark, New York and studied art throughout high school and college. She has an Associate Degree in Art from Finger Lakes Community College where her concentration was in the Fine Arts. She credits her interest in art because of the art teachers she has had. She uses various mediums, but she developed her own style in pen and ink for which she is best known. Much of Judi�s work has been commissioned by local businesses, colleges and by individuals as gifts. Her favorite subject matter is older buildings, especially barns. She also has devoted much time to drawing Wayne County buildings in Lyons. She resides in Lyons with her husband, Gary and son, Matthew.
These exhibits are on view through Nov. 1.
Wayne Art Gallery hours are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, noon to 3 p.m. and by appointment. Admission is free. Gift certificates are available for classes and gift store items. Wayne County Council for the Arts is located at 108 W. Miller St., Newark. For more information, call 331-4593, email email@example.com or visit www.waynearts.wordpress.com.

DINWIDDIE, Va. -- For the second year in a row, the IHRA will offer their version of the "Daytona Speedweeks" at the CompetitionPlus.com Spring Open presented by LIZZARD Racing Engines, hosted by Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie, Va. This event, slated for the weekend of March 7 - 10, 2002, will offer the opportunity for everything from Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley-Davidsons to Funny Cars to Pro Modifieds to Pro Stocks the opportunity to test in a controlled environment at one of the finest racing facilities in the country.
Brian Pierce, manager of VMP, is excited about the event returning to his track.
"We really enjoyed the event last year," explained Pierce. "It served as an excellent way for the racers and our staff to get back into the groove and prepare for the season. We hope that the 2002 event will be even larger."
The event is not limited to the aforementioned classes, as sportsman racers are encouraged to take part in the event as well. A special gamblers race is planned for one of the four days as is a junior dragster shootout similar to the one presented in the 2001 event.
CompetitionPlus.com editor Bobby Bennett is proud to be associated with the event for the second year.
"We had a ball last year," explained Bennett. "We have had extensive meetings to improve on last year's event and I am confident that we are headed in the right direction. I am very pleased to be associated with the PREMIERE test event on the IHRA tour."
Joining the program as well will be Matt Grillo's LIZZARD Racing Engines, most recently the sponsor of the IHRA's Top Sportsman Quick Eight program. Grillo explained that if CompetitionPlus.com was to be associated with it that he was sure to be involved as well.
"I have to agree that last season's event was a blast," explained Grillo. "We had a lot of cars there and the fans were very much in tune to the cars that were on the track. I look forward to being associated with this event."
This unique event will feature everything from Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley-Davidsons to the high-speed Pro Modifieds to various sportsman entries in test mode. There will be a special Chicago style eliminations program on Saturday in the professional divisions in exchange for the test time.
The event will provide professional drivers the opportunity to test for the upcoming season during that weekend, provided that they participate in a special "Chicago Style" eliminations program on Saturday. Pre-entry is encouraged for the professionals as it not only assists the VMP crew with determining parking space as well as publicity for the event. If you have a sponsor, this would be a great way to garner publicity for them. Professional teams that pre-enter will be given free entry for three crewmen.
Sportsman drivers that wish to test and tune during the event can receive a cost break by pre-entering. The standard fee for the CompetitionPlus.com Spring Open will be $75 at the gate for the entire weekend and $25 per day if a driver does not wish the entire program. However, if they pre-enter, the fee drops to $65 for the entire event.
Checks or money orders must be made payable to Virginia Motorsports Park. They may be sent to the following address:
Virginia Motorsports Park P.O. Box 600 Dinwiddie, Va. 23841
Deadline for pre-entry is March 1, 2002
A special e-mail address has been set up for those that wish to pre-enter online. Online pre-entries can be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The following information must be included with each pre-entry. Car Number: Classification: Driver Name: Team Owner Name: Address City, State & Zip Phone Number You Can Be Best Reached At: Car Make: Sponsor (if applicable): Days you plan on attending - NOTE - If you plan on attending the complete event, please list - COMPLETE EVENT
For more information on the event, stay tuned to www.ihra.com,
www.virginiamotorsportspk.com or drag racing's leading e-zine at
www.competitionplus.com. As more news becomes available, it will be posted on
these websites.

Threat on bathroom wall delays Plymouth schools
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth Schools had a two-hour delay this morning due to a bomb threat at Plymouth High School.
Superintendent Daniel Tyree said they called a corporation—wide delay because the school buses shuttle students for all of the other schools at the high school each morning. Tyree said, "The only school building effected was PHS."
Although the actual wording was not released, Tyree called the bomb threat a "sloppy mess on a bathroom wall."
He said the Plymouth Police are investigating and dogs trained in bomb detection from the Indiana State Police were at the school by 5:15 a.m.
Tyree said, "We expect to allow people into the building if we know everything is safe."
PHS Principal Jim Condon said, "I will not allow staff or students into the building until 9:30 a.m., but will make a determination by 8 a.m. if school will be held. The tentative plan is to have a two-hour delay."
Condon said they are having a complete investigation in cooperation with the Plymouth Police Department.
Tyree said Condon was handling the situation for the corporation. He was able to confirm through Condon that the building was evacuated at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night. Tyree said, "There was staff waiting for the girl's basketball team to return to the school." "The building will be locked down until (this) morning." Tyree said.
Tyree said a message concerning the bomb threat was sent out per phone to parents, staff and students from PHS."

This past weekend at Eastbrook, my good friend, Dave Choi, kicked-off our series on prayer with a fantastic message from Luke 11:1-13 called "Lord, Teach Us to Pray."
You will definitely want to listen to his message online at the Eastbrook web-site here.
You could also look up Dave's church, Church of the Beloved, here or give him a shout-out at Facebook.
The outline for his message is as follows:
I. Lord teach us to pray
II. Prayer is simple
III. Prayer is shamelessly bold
IV. Prayer seeks until it finds
V. Prayer works because of who God is

Something I have been encountering quite a bit lately and want to address is the problem of corn-soybean growers who don't have sufficient horsepower to run their new tillage tool. What happens is that an equipment retailer will bring the tillage tool and a tractor to run it out to the farm for the grower's evaluation. The tool looks great in the field, and the farmer buys it, but when he goes to use it with his own tractor he realizes too late that he doesn't have adequate horsepower either to pull the tool or to run it at the manufacturer's recommended speed. So, this is just a friendly reminder that if you're looking at making an investment in a tillage tool, be sure you try it out on your farm with your own tractor.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
An Israeli court this week sentenced convicted Jewish terrorist Jack Teitel to two life sentences for the murders of two Palestinian Arabs and the attempted murders of a Messianic Jewish youth and a radical left-wing professor.
Sitting in court, Teitel said in his distinctive American accent that he regretted none of his crimes, and wondered why more were not following his example.
The Messianic youth in question is Amiel Ortiz, who was the victim of a disguised bomb Teitel left on his family's doorstep in the Samarian town of Ariel.
Following a miraculous recovery thanks to much prayer and dozens of operations, Ami is today studying and playing college basketball in the US.
Speaking to Israeli TV, Ami's mother, Leah Ortiz, said she was pleased with the court's ruling, stating that Teitel remains full of evil hatred and is therefore a danger to all around.
Sadly, it was noted that Israel's Channel 2 News referred to Ortiz as belonging to the Messianic Jewish "cult," which is as negative a term in Hebrew as it is in English.

The bride and I were ALL talk and NO walk.
You see, this bride had been dreaming of her engagements in a wide open field for as long as she could remember. And I, being a photographer who aims to please, was willing to make that happen.
But, as we started driving along the country roads, we noticed that EVERY SINGLE field or wide open space was fenced off with signs warning "TRESPASSING FORBIDDEN BY LAW." blah-bitty-blah-blah-blah.
For a moment we were willing to do anything for "the shot". We pumped each other up with chants like, "hop the fence, hop the fence." However, each time we parked to carry out our rebellious daydreams, we just couldn't do it. We were chickens (and probably law-abiding citizens, too).
Enter Nick, the fiance. He stepped up to save the day like any knight in shining armor would. He bravely offered to stop at a nearby farmhouse and ask the owners if we could take pictures in their fields. awkward. But guess what...IT WORKED!
And really, it was all worth it.
Meet Lauren and Nick, my new favorite lovebirds.

Birds of prey generally have been hit hard by human activities, from persecution to chemicals to agricultural changes, and it has taken decades of dedication, conservation and campaigning to help many species recover. Some still face significant threats.
As a charity dedicated to birds of prey, the Hawk and Owl Trust has been working with 25 other organisations to produce Birds of Prey in the UK: on a wing and a prayer.
As its introduction explains:
"It highlights the value and importance of birds of prey in the UK and the conservation success story they represent. It seeks to separate fact from myth, based on evidence and not anecdote.
"We have published this because, as a group of organisations, we are concerned that a small number of people see birds of prey as a threat and portray their recovery as being 'out of control'.
"Some people go further, breaking the law, with serious and sad consequences for birds of prey in some parts of the UK.
"As champions of the natural environment, we can only be content when the populations and distributions of our birds of prey recover fully. For this to happen, full legal protection must be maintained and action taken to stop illegal killing.
"We wish to see healthy populations of all wildlife and collectively are doing much to restore special habitats, secure more sustainable land management and introduce people to the spectacle of our native wildlife."

Topics include:
- Decline, extinction and recovery
- Illegal killing
- Back from extinction
- Recovering from the effects of pesticides
- Birds of prey will always be relatively uncommon
- Why legal protection is essential

Quidditch Ron, Tonks, Burrow Attack and More in UK Calendar Scans
Sep 03, 2008
The images keep pouring in, as scans from the UK 2009 "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" are now online courtesy of our Order Partner Rupert Grint.net. In the large scans you can see another shot of Qudditch Ron in action here, as well as a nice scan of Lavender Brown. Of note are scans from the calendar involving the attack on the Burrow including this with Ginny (Bonnie Wright), Harry, Tonks, Lupin and Arthur Weasley, with a looming Bellatrix (Helena Bonham Carter) in the background. We can also see a new photo of actress Julie Walters as Molly Weasley, along with Tonks (Natalia Tena), Lupin (David Thewlis), and Arthur (Mark Williams), with a photo of the Burrow in the corner.
Update:A slightly different version of the Ginny, Harry, Tonks, Lupin and Arthur in the fields by the burrow has now emerged, here via Snitchseeker.
Another interesting scan is this of young Tom Riddle, with a close up of the cliffs by the sea, possibly where the cave is located. Several additional photos of actor Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley are available, including larger versions of a Ron victorious, Ron in his robes, Professor Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), Lupin and Tonks, and one of Hedwig.
Thanks much to RupertGrint.net via HBPmoviepics!

Today, audio manufacturer Edifier released two new Bluetooth speakers. We've seen a deluge of these in the early days of October, but all that means for you is that – if you're in the market – you've got options. Edifier's newbies are the Esiena Bluetooth and the Bric Bluetooth. The former is meant to serve as the centerpiece to your audio set-up, while the latter is a portable, pick-up-and-go option. Let's have a look at the specs.
Both models stream wireless music at up to 30ft and both support all iPhones, pods, and pads, with the very notable exception of the iPhone 5, which will require the addition of a Lightning adapter for hard-docking. We're starting to see the implications of Apple's decision to change up the connector on its latest phone as manufacturers were obviously developing these products while Apple kept the new connector on the down-low.
The Esiena is the more powerful of the two, housing two three-inch drivers and a class-D digital Amp. The Esiena also supports several extra connectivity options, with an SD reader and both Aux and USB ports on-board.
The Bric is the lighter, more flexible option. It features two 2 and ¾ inch drivers and runs on six AA batteries. The lack of an included rechargeable battery gives us pause. Though rechargeables can always be purchased on the side, they just aren't as convenient. The Bric plugs into the wall too, but if you plan on using it away from the socket, you'll want to factor in the cost of extra batteries.
Both speaker systems are now available for purchase at Edifier's website. The Esiena is priced at $300 and the Bric at $100. Happy Bluetooth speaker extravaganza to you.

The class has been interesting. I have made new friends ... genealogy friends. Some, like beginning artists, have lines going various directions with the need to bring them together into form. Others have generations of ancestors just waiting to be found. There is always a need to learn research techniques and analysis. Where do you look for this or that? More importantly how does it apply to the research problem. What kind of evidence is within a particular document? Is there a better source? I hope they remember all of these things.
To enhance the learning process I have used Keynote presentations each week. I am a Mac user and simply take my laptop with me and plug into the classroom projector. The students also receive handouts. Each week I have presented them with a loop presentation in Keynote called In the News, Genealogy News. While they are waiting for the class to begin they can watch all the latest genealogy news on the screen.
As usual they want all the information they can get on Internet. I have stressed that they also need to do hands-on research and write letters. Some have Internet database subscriptions and some do not. The pros and cons of those are discussed. For some the leap is just too expensive to subscribe.
It is difficult to tell them everything they need to know in two hours, once a week for six weeks. I hope they will continue with their genealogy education, reading methodology books and applying what they learn to their specific genealogy.
I have been teaching genealogy for many years and each class has been a challenge that I have accepted and enjoyed. This means that I am also a student. I learn from them and their needs and enjoy their questions. Let's hope the next class I teach is just as great!

The Good, The Bad & The Oily
Anyone struggling with greasy, shiny, oily skin might argue that the mere existence of sebum (the medical term for skin oils) is a curse. Yet Mother Nature intended for it to serve a beneficial purpose.
The source of all the trouble is the microscopic sebaceous gland, safely hidden beneath the surface of the skin. Sebaceous glands are part of the pilosebaceous unit (hair + oil gland duo). These glands (envision partially inflated balloons) lie deep within the dermis. They connect with the hair shaft and empty their contents onto the surface of the skin through the pores. All skin surfaces, with the exception of the palms and soles, possess sebaceous glands. The area with the most oil-producing ability is the one most crowded with sebaceous glands - it's the notorious T-zone (forehead, nose and chin).
Sebaceous glands produce sebum, a complex blend of varied lipids (an assortment of fats), and dead sebaceous gland cells, (the cells that manufacture the sebum). Fats found in sebum include triglycerides, wax monoesters, squalane and free fatty acids.
The Good
Under normal circumstances, these glands should play a normal role in lubricating the skin and hair, protecting them from environmental challenges like dehydration and maintaining health and luster.
The term acid mantle refers to the protective, acidic environment created by the milieu of sebum, surface cellular debris and sweat bathing the outer layers of the skin (epidermis) and hair. The pH of the acid mantle ranges between 4.5-5.5. The acid mantle forces epidermal and hair cuticle cells to lie flatly in a tight array much like shingles on a roof. Without it, cells can pull apart, leading to dehydration, irritation and sensitivity. Hair can become brittle, dull and prone to breakage. The loss of an acidic environment can also lead to the invasion of bacteria into the skin.
Adequate amounts of sebum are very important in maintaining the protective acid mantle. Conquering oily skin is therefore a challenge. One wants to create a non-greasy, mattified appearance yet avoid over-stripping protective surface oils.
The Bad
Anyone who suffers from oily skin knows when too much sebum is produced, it's a real problem. Oily skin has a terribly negative effect on self-esteem as well as body image. Greasiness and shine often outweigh acne concerns. Oily skin is both uncomfortable and cosmetically unacceptable.
Sebaceous glands working overtime is the cause of excessively oily skin. Too much sebum produces surface oiliness, blocks pores, provides nourishment to bacteria that live upon the skin (P. acnes) and contributes to acne flare-ups.
The Oily
The true cause of oily skin lies in one's genetic makeup - an excess of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Too much of a good thing, this metabolite of testosterone, DHT is responsible for triggering sebaceous glands to produce sebum. Higher than normal levels of this androgenic hormone, or an increased sensitivity of the glands to normal levels of DHT can result in a virtual oil slick.
DHT first appears at puberty in both girls and boys. The menstrual cycle affects DHT levels, paralleling the rise of progesterone (post ovulation). Ever speculate why your skin becomes oilier and acne-prone just before menstruation? Blame rising levels of progesterone (and ultimately DHT).
Perhaps you have been praying your oil-laden T-zone would suddenly vanish overnight and be replaced with a healthy, radiant complexion. The goal is realistic even if the timing is not. However, eliminating extreme oiliness must be done with care. It's vital not to give in to skin-traumatizing temptation.
When it comes to cleansing oily skin, using a blend of salicylic and buffered glycolic acid work synergistically to dissolve heavier fatty surface oils and deeply cleanse the epidermis. DERMAdoctor Ain't Misbehavin' AHA/BHA Cleanser leaves skin feeling clean, fresh and glowing.
Astringents & Toners
True, toners can cut through oils, but all too often they also strip away the skin's protective barrier. DERMAdoctor Ain't Misbehavin' Toner was created to be a "good for your skin" toner. It's base contains both buffered glycolic and lactic acid, which gently yet effectively cut through grease and grime through chemical exfoliation. Plus it contains anti-aging antioxidants, protective non-comedogenic hydrators and oil busting botanicals.
Masques may effectively reduce the feeling of oiliness on the skin for several days. A clay base lifts excessive oil away from the skin. DERMAdoctor Ain't Misbehavin' Intensive 10% Sulfur Acne Mask & Emergency Spot Treatment contains therapeutic additives to deal with some of the acne causing issues as well. This masque can help exfoliate materials lodged deep within the glands as well as reduce the presence of oils.
This category includes prescription Retin A, Retin A Micro Gel, Differin, Tazorac and Avita as well as OTC DERMAdoctor Poetry In Lotion 1% Retinol. Topical Vitamin A based formulas unquestionably help oiliness. However, a sizeable minority of patients still develop redness, flaking and irritation despite appropriate use of prescription retinoids. Poetry in Lotion provides high potency retinol with fewer high potency problems.
Oil Blotting Papers
Blotting papers blot. It's that simple. There are a variety of oil blotting papers on the market. While some people erroneously think that they may aggravate oily skin conditions (untrue), again, they are simply reducing the shine that may develop on the skin throughout the day. The use of agents to help reduce oil production in the first place will provide a broader fix of the problem. Having blotting papers on hand are a life saver for the very oily.
In addition to following an oil-busting skin care routine as mentioned above, what to do about sunscreen? When answering scads of consumer email, inevitably the biggest resistance from those with oily or blemish prone skin is about sunscreen. Too greasy, too sticky, blocks my pores...the list of reasons to avoid its use is endless. Look for something light weight and oil-free.
I personally do not feel that oily skin alone justifies the use of Accutane. Accutane is a great medication for the treatment of severe cystic acne, but has significant side effects associated with its use. The FDA does not indicate the use of Accutane for the control of oily skin. While I do hear from clients that they wish they could take this medication solely for controlling excess sebum production, it's just not a medically indicated use. A topical version of isotretinoin (the generic name for Accutane) has been tried in Canada and Europe for acne treatment but is unavailable in the U.S. I've only had the opportunity to see one patient who has relocated and was using this product. The skin was very parched (over-stripped of oils) and there was little change in the acne.
Systemic Interference With DHT
Less available DHT means less stimulation of the sebaceous gland and ultimately less oil production. Medications currently exist that block the ability of the hormone 5-alpha reductase to convert testosterone into its gland-triggering form, DHT. Currently none of them are prescribed with an FDA approved use to treat oily skin. However, in rare instances, an off-label use may be considered by a dermatologist.
Birth control pills (those that are more estrogen dominant), hair loss medications for men (such as Propecia which cannot be taken by women of child-bearing age/ability ), Spironolactone (a diuretic often given to treat acne, off-label, because of its antiandrogenic effects), and the antiandrogenic cyproterone acetate (not available in the U.S.). The most likely treatments your physician might prescribe would be a the oral contraceptive Ortho Tri-Cyclen or the water pill Spironolactone, both of which are currently used in acne treatment (with the side benefit of oil-reduction).
- Using oil control products will lead to an increase in sebum production.
This is absolutely false.
- Blotting facial oils helps to reduce the production of sebum.
False. While blotting can provide a temporary method of removing the oil, just like topical oil control products, they have no affect on the production of sebum.
- Oily skin is not a concern for those with rosacea.
Again, false. While rosacea sufferers are more likely to have drier, more sensitive skin due to the natural aging process, I have seen more than my share of significantly oily skinned rosacea patients. DERMAdoctor Calm Cool & Corrected contains NDGA, an ideal botanical for this concern. Combined with sebum sequestering micro-particles, excessive oils are absorbed, yet the product is formulated in a base appropriate for the rosacea patient prone to skin sensitivity.
- Accutane fully eliminates ("cures") oil production.
False. While Accutane does normalize the faulty mechanism related to the formation of cells lining the sebaceous glands, which in turn stops cystic acne, sebum production is not entirely eliminated. After treatment, the skin may either remain non-greasy or experience a return of oiliness post treatment.
- You can't wear make-up while using oil control products.
False. Make-up should be labeled oil-free or "non-comedogenic" and is appropriate for use by those with oily skin. It may also be applied on top of products that help control acne or oily skin conditions. For those more affected by excess oils, despite the use of some oil control products, the use of a powder base may help. Rice powders like those used in some mineral makeup feel light, don't plug pores and help absorb excess oils.
- Oil control products cause unpleasant dryness and irritation.
While many oil control products which reduce levels of facial skin oils may cause these problems, this is absolutely not true across the board. And product misuse or overuse can also be responsible for skin irritation, not just the product formulation.
Now you know all about how to improve your oily skin condition. There is a wide range of options for you to take advantage of. Remember that when all else fails, your dermatologist is the perfect resource for prescription intervention.
Thank you for taking the time to read my newsletter. As always, I hope you have found it informative.

In math, they say it takes 3 occurrences before you can determine a pattern. Based off the fact that I've only blogged two days in a row in all of 2011, I have not yet shown a pattern of being a consistent blogger this year. In the grand scheme of things though, I'm ok with that.
At the risk of sounding overdramatic, there was an event this week that really put things in perspective for me. Those that follow professional cycling were saddened to hear of the death of Belgian rider Wouter Weylandt on the third stage of the Giro d'Italia. I won't go into the details, because frankly, there are plenty of writers who wrote about the event more eloquently than I ever could, but I will say this: Seeing someone die on live television and witnessing the aftermath really makes the whole "Oh no, Blogger went down for 2 days!" thing seem pretty trivial. I'm not dissing any fellow bloggers out there, nor their readers. After all, here I am, on my soap box, taking pictures and writing to anyone and no one, into the void. But on my list of priorities in life, freaking out over posting consistency just isn't ever going to place at the top.
Ok, now that I've probably alienated any readers I had left, let's dive into the clothes, eh?
For one of my most worn skirts, I can't believe it hasn't made it into the blog yet. I bought this last summer and have paired it with pretty much every top in my closet. Yet for some reason, I never seemed to have the opportunity to dig my camera out. I think the beauty of it is two-fold. One, the elastic waist allows it to sit pretty high up, which is about the only way skirts look flattering on me. Two, the print is so out there that it begs to be paired with opposing patterns. Plaid, stripes, polka dots, whatever you can throw at this skirt, it'll take it and make it look fabulous. Oh, and three, it has pockets. I guess that makes it three-fold, which I'm pretty sure isn't an actual term. Oh well, I still love it.

Obama - Prayer Service
WASHINGTON (AP) — Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Sikh clergy have prayed for President Barack Obama's second term in an inaugural service at Washington National Cathedral.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden sat in the front pew Tuesday as prayers were said in English, Spanish, Arabic and Hebrew.
Kathryn Lohre, president of the National Council of Churches, asked God to "grant them wisdom to discern your will and to consider your Word among the counsel they receive."
The Rev. Adam Hamilton, senior pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kan., praised Obama's rhetorical skills — saying, "You should have been a preacher" — and urged the president to bring a divided nation together.

PVC pipe and fittings are stocked in metric or imperial, with sizes ranging from ½" to 12" and 20mm to 315mm.
PVC pipe and fittings are ideal for use in commercial and industrial sectors. This product is becoming increasingly popular, especially for cold water systems in commercial properties and process water installations. Other applications include the transfer of acids and alkali's, Sewage Treatment, Effluent Systems, Chemical Processing and Potable Water Systems.
PVC is dark grey in colour and has an extremely smooth interior and exterior finish. This reduces the possibility of blockages or the build-up of solids in certain applications.
PVC pipe and fittings are installed using a solvent weld system. All joints and pipe ends must be abraded and cleaned using a pipe cleaning solution, solvent glue is then applied to both surfaces and the pipe and fitting is then pushed together. The result is an extremely strong and permanent joint in a matter of minutes.
This system doesn`t require ant maintenance if installation is satisfactory, unless blockages occur due to incorrect design or installation. Inspection and jetting chambers can be installed in large or industrial systems if required.
PVC is simple to install, extremely lightweight and resistant to a large range of alkali's and acids. A full range of valves and fittings are stocked, with ancillary products such as glues, cleaners, brushes, bracketing, cloths and more.

Tories slip as NDP makes modest gains
Angus-Reid was last in the field on May 22-23, and since then the New Democrats have picked up two points to lead with 35%. The Conservatives are down three points to 34%, a swing of five points in less than a month.
The Liberals are up one point to 19%, while the Bloc Québécois sits at 6% and the Greens at 5%.
The NDP leads in Quebec with 42% (-1), British Columbia with 40% (=), and Atlantic Canada with 36% (+8). They trail in second in the Prairies with 33% (+10), in Ontario with 32% (+1), and in Alberta with 22% (-1).
The Conservatives lead in Alberta with 58% (-3), the Prairies with 55% (+6), and Ontario with 38% (-3). They are second in British Columbia with 34% (-7) and Atlantic Canada with 30% (-2).
The Bloc is runner-up in Quebec with 23% (-4) while the Liberals get their best results in Ontario and Atlantic Canada (24%, +1 and -11, respectively).
The Conservatives win 15 seats in British Columbia, 27 in Alberta, 21 in the Prairies, 66 in Ontario, five in Quebec, 12 in Atlantic Canada, and one in the North.
The New Democrats win 15 seats in British Columbia, one in Alberta, seven in the Prairies, 25 in Ontario, 58 in Quebec, nine in Atlantic Canada, and one in the North.
The Liberals win five seats in British Columbia, 15 in Ontario, seven in Quebec, 11 in Atlantic Canada, and one in the North.
Angus-Reid measures "momentum", in terms of whether opinion is improving or worsening for each of the leaders. Canadians tend to dislike their politicians, so momentum is usually negative. Thomas Mulcair, however, scored a +2 result, better than Bob Rae's -2 and Stephen Harper's -30. He is also the only leader with a positive approval rating, at 45% to 33%. Rae splits 38% to 44%, Elizabeth May 35% to 37%, and Harper 38% to 53%.
May 23, and since then the New Democrats have picked up one point to lead with 37%. The Conservatives are down two points to 30% while the Liberals are up two to 22%.
In this flash one-day poll, the Bloc has 6% support while the Greens are at 5%.
As this survey and the last one were taken at around the same time as Angus-Reid's last two surveys, we can compare some trends. Federally, both firms have the Tories down (two to three points) and the NDP and Liberals up (one to two points apiece). They also both show consistency in Alberta (Tories and NDP losing support) and Ontario (Tories down, NDP/Liberals up).
Ontario is a tie in Forum's polling, with the NDP (+1) and Tories (-1) at 34% each. The NDP leads with over 40% support in Quebec, the Prairies, Atlantic Canada, and British Columbia, with the Conservatives leading in Alberta only. It is a remarkable set of numbers for the NDP. For a polling firm, however, it is always best to have the least remarkable numbers. Such a large lead has not been recorded elsewhere, though that is not to say that it won't be in the coming weeks.
The New Democrats win 22 seats in British Columbia, one in Alberta, 16 in the Prairies, 27 in Ontario (still their Achilles' heel), 56 in Quebec, 12 in Atlantic Canada, and one in the North.
The Conservatives win nine seats in British Columbia, 27 in Alberta, eight in the Prairies, 50 in Ontario, five in Quebec, 11 in Atlantic Canada, and one in the North.
The Liberals win four seats in British Columbia, four in the Prairies, 29 in Ontario, 10 in Quebec, nine in Atlantic Canada, and one in the North.
On leadership, Forum gives Harper a 31% approval rating, with 61% disapproving. Mulcair scores a net positive rating with 39% to 31%, while Rae has an approval rating of 40% to 32% disapproval. Mulcair is still a bit of an unknown - his "don't know" score sits at 31%, higher than either Rae or Harper. He had 22% "not sure" in Angus-Reid's poll, also higher than Harper or Rae.
But Bob Rae is on his way out. Who will replace him? Justin Trudeau is the only plausible candidate with any real support/name recognition, registering 23% in Forum's poll on who is the best person for the job, 16 points ahead of the next favourite option (John Manley). Trudeau also had the best "good choice" score in Angus-Reid's poll.
Interestingly, both surveys asked how Canadians would vote if Trudeau was Liberal leader. Obviously, the difference between hypothetical and reality is something François Legault could tell us a lot about. Nevertheless, it is indicative of Trudeau's popularity.
Forum had the most modest score for a Trudeau-led Liberal Party, with 28% support to 28% for the Tories and 32% for the NDP. Based on their regional breakdown, this would deliver 86 seats to the Liberals, putting them not far behind the Conservatives (at 106 seats) and the NDP (at 113). The Trudeau Liberals would win 23 seats in Quebec and 36 in Ontario.
Angus-Reid provided no regional breakdown so there is no way to run a seat projection, but they did give the Trudeau Liberals a massive 40% score. This shoved the NDP down to 21% and the Conservatives down to 30%, a certain majority for the Liberals. Perhaps more interestingly, though, they compared Trudeau's numbers to those of other potential leaders. Of those listed, Dominic Leblanc performed the worst (35% CPC to 31% NDP and 20% LPC). Marc Garneau, seen as a likely candidate, managed 28% to 27% for the NDP and 32% for the Tories.
The numbers are odd, though, since they all resulted in the NDP losing support whether or not the Liberals gained any. Why would the Leblanc Liberals manage to drop the NDP by four points while only taking one for themselves?
Until the Liberal leadership race actually gets underway and we know whether or not Justin Trudeau runs, these numbers do not tell us much. They do show, however, that the Canadian public likes the idea of a Trudeau-led Liberal Party. In politics, merely getting your foot in the door is half the battle. It points to potential for the Liberals if all of their cards are played right and Trudeau turns out to be what some Canadians hope he can be. Those are big ifs, but considering the 2011 debacle a "maybe" is not a bad thing for the Liberals.

Mulcair is old. Harper is old.ReplyDelete
Trudeau is something young and new. I have a feeling young people would be motivated to actually get up and vote for him.
Just as the "Orange Crush" was an irrational wave of mass popularity that suddenly hit after Layton having run multiple elections without a similiar happening, we could see Trudeau mania 2.
Or not! Nobody can predict such waves.
However, its not certain that the NDP will always be opposition party or first place party forever and ever now. They could just as easily slip back to third if Quebec's mood shifts to something glitzy and new.
I'll take what hope I can get lol.ReplyDelete
What I don't understand is how Angus Reid has the worst numbers for the Liberals under Rae but the best numbers for the Trudeau-led Liberals. How in the hell does that work?Replies
The Trudeau numbers just seem wonky. It seems highly unlikely to me that the Liberals really pick up 21% of the vote just from a change in leader.Delete
The NDP picked up 20% of the vote in Quebec just from changing leaders as well.Delete
Trudeau's appeal could potentially be nation-wide.
The bump from Mulcair's election was a different phenomenon - the Quebecois had voted NDP, and were waiting to see if the candidate who was based in Quebec would win. The Liberals are in a long-term structural decline, and have been since the 1970s.Delete
Perhaps that decline has ended. Mike Harris came third in his first election and then won two majorities in Ontario. The Conservatives came third behind the Progressives federally too. They're alive and well...Delete
There is no evidence that the Liberals have managed to curb the structural decline. They have seen a steadily shrinking base, and nothing in these numbers have indicated that that has changed. They have simply maxed the remaining categories/areas where they do well. That's what make me think that these Trudeau numbers represent a Liberal ceiling, not something that would be a new normal. When the NDP surged in the 2011 election, it was telling precisely because the surge was happening outside of traditional areas of NDP support.Delete
Well we have no idea where that surge is thanks to Angus Reid not giving a breakdown, so can't really say one way or the other.Delete
This will just feed the Liberal messiah fixation, this idea that they are only the right leader away from winning again.ReplyDelete
I think the only useful thing these "what if Trudeau was leader" results tell us is that the Liberal brand is not dead. It is capable of being revived under the right conditions.
Before everybody gores ballistic for Justin they should read Jeffrey SimpsonReplyDelete
What is your opinion of Forum as a poller?
Have they been accurate in the past with their polls on election day?
- Anonymous18 June, 2012 14:53
A little hiccup in your writeup...ReplyDelete
You write that:
"Federally... they also both show consistency in... Ontario (Tories up, NDP/Liberals down)."
But you also write that...
"Angus-Reid.... The Conservatives lead in... Ontario with 38% (-3)."
"Ontario is a tie in Forum's polling, with the NDP (+1) and Tories (-1) at 34% each."
In other words, in your summary, you have tories up Lib/NDP down, whereas you report the results to be exactly the opposite, Tories down, NDP up. (could not find Lib movement but I assume it's up in Ont in both polls)

Features Justin as assistant moderator. Should be interesting ?
- pinkobme18 June, 2012 18:39
I've been wondering lately what would/could happen if Harper resigns, and even quits politics, before the next election. I guess it would depend on who takes over, but if they time it right, the public could see this as a revitalization of the CPC, especially if the new leader isn't as far right.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous19 June, 2012 00:15
Justin has been annointed by the media as a messiah for the Liberals, and I really don't understand why. What has he really done in his political career that is of note? His major accomplishments appear to be calling Enviro Minister Kent "a piece of shit" (while undoubtedly true, this hardly put wind beneath the wings of rhetorical poesy) and TKOing an out of shape reprobate Con senator in the ring.ReplyDelete
Seriously folks, name me a single accomplishment of Justin's other than managing to get elected, and even Bob Anders manages that much.
One could say the same thing of Jack Layton, a guy who could not win election as mayor of Toronto, yet people quite liked him. (I am not disagreeing with you, just noting that such things are not as important as people might think).Delete
His only major accomplishment is managing to be born as Pierre Trudeau's son.Delete
- Anonymous19 June, 2012 10:08
@Dave:True, but it took Layton three elections to make his breakthrough. I am not saying Justin couldn't do the same but not overnight.Delete
It also took harper several elections to make his breakthrough.

@Dave Brodbeck-Delete
Jack Layton had an extensive municipal political career of over 20 years practicing his characteristic ability to "get things done" for working people. He did a year as head of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, encouraging "cities" to be heard at the federal/provincial table. He didn't always succeed. He grew over the years, especially in his job as NDP leader. He was also a husband and father.
With all due respect to Justin Trudeau, his CV is quite thin, especially considering he's 40 years old.
He is no Jack Layton .... not by a long shot.
"He was also a husband and father."Delete
Trudeau isn't?
- Anonymous19 June, 2012 12:28
Don't think the "husband/father" was a reference to Trudeau, just a comment on Layton.Delete
I fail to see how someone's marital status matters, though I am pretty sure Trudeau is a husband and father. I am a husband and a father, so perhaps I will run for the leadership of the Liberal Party.....Delete
I doubt Trudeau would right everything for the Liberal Party in one election cycle, or, perhaps ever. That said, he has been elected to a national office at a relatively young age. (Though, of course, his name recognition has not hurt him....)
If Harper quit as CPC leader I think you would see an extraordinarily long, expensive nasty divisive battle to succeed him. There is no obvious successor, the stakes would be very high and the old Refom vs. PC cleavages would quickly come to the fore.ReplyDeleteReplies

Cowboys Add Return Specialist
The Cowboys and Allen Rossum have agreed on a 1-year deal to bring the return specialist to Dallas.
From the Cowboys website:
Rossum is expected to sign a one-year, veteran-minimum contract with the Cowboys on Wednesday morning. A Dallas native who played at Skyline High School, Rossum left for Notre Dame before joining the Philadelphia Eagles as a third-round cornerback in 1998.
Philadelphia quickly learned that Rossum's greatest talents were as a kickoff and punt returner, a role he's filled for five franchises over the last 11 seasons. After two years with the Eagles he was traded to Green Bay, where he spent two seasons. He signed an unrestricted free-agent contract with Atlanta in 2002 and went on to play five years there before being traded to Pittsburgh for the 2007 season.
After a year in the Steel City he joined the 49ers, playing in San Francisco for all of last season and the first four games of 2009 before he was waived Monday to make room for first-round pick Michael Crabtree, who ended his holdout last week.
In 156 career games Rossum has 307 punt returns, averaging 10 yards per return with three touchdowns. He has returned 513 kickoffs at an average of 23.3 yards, with five scores.
Rossum would replace Patrick Crayton as the Cowboys' primary punt returner. Felix Jones, Miles Austin and Kevin Ogletree have served as kickoff returners so far this season. Crayton has averaged 8.0 yards on 10 punt returns this season, but mishandled one kick Sunday, leading to a Kansas City touchdown, and then appeared hesitant to field a couple of more punts later in the game.
Rossum, who has 10 career starts at cornerback as well, will replace Cletis Gordon, who was released Tuesday after signing on in an emergency cornerback role last week.
Sounds like a good deal. Lord knows we didn't want Patrick Crayton resuming duties after the bye week.
Thanks to Nate for giving me the heads up.

My father Jack Moran arrived in New York on April 5th, 1923. He was from Athea, a small village in County Limerick. He loved New York. And Brooklyn.
My mother was born in Kerry and raised in Limerick but she didn't meet my father until she came to the States in 1927. The Irish in New York would all get together for parties and they met at one of those parties.
My mother was nine years younger and she had the prettiest blue eyes. They got married in 1928, had me in 1929, and my brother in 1931. At some point my father started to work at the Stock Exchange. He ran what they called "the car" – the elevator from the first floor to the sixth. It was for "Members Only," and he was fascinated by the way the "members" dressed. He loved nice clothes.
After they married, they lived in what was called a railroad apartment – the rooms went from front to back, the front room, then the bedroom, then a long hallway, then another bedroom, the dining room and the kitchen. The air would flow all the way through. The [buildings] weren't brownstones, but they were brown. People did keep them nice. Each one was separated by a metal gate. People parked their [baby] carriages inside; women would sit on the stoop, shoot the breeze. We lived on the top floor, and it was one short step up to the roof. It was a few blocks to the subway station, get off at Wall Street, and he was at work. He liked the easy way.
In the summer, to catch a breeze, he'd bring his beach chair up to "Tar Beach" so called because the roofs were tarred over. He had a radio with a cord. He'd throw the cord down through the airy way, and my mother would bring it in through the dining room window and plug it in. He'd listen to the Dodgers. On the weekends we'd go out to his brother and sister's in Long Island and play card games. They were building a house, and he helped.
But come Monday morning, he was back in the city.
We loved the shows, especially the music. There was an Irish show, the McNultys, which consisted of Ma, Eileen, and Peter [McNulty]. We'd go to the Academy of Music in Brooklyn to hear them. That only happened once a year. We went to Carnegie Hall once. They were the high spots, the enjoyable musicals. My brother and I were small. We'd take a roast chicken off to Prospect Park in the summer and have a picnic lunch.
Dad liked New York but he loved Brooklyn.
We all did, really.

Telstra claims its pre-paid USB 4G modem is Australia's first pre-paid 4G product. Like its post-paid USB 4G Modem brother, the pre-paid USB 4G modem promises typical download speeds of between 2 megabits per second (Mbps) and 40Mbps, but you'll only achieve these speeds in currently limited areas of 4G coverage.
Telstra's pre-paid USB 4G is the company's first pre-paid device to work on its 4G network.
• Telstra USB 4G Modem review
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G review
• HTC Velocity 4G review
The Telstra pre-paid USB 4G Modem is essentially not too different from most other USB modems on the market. It's slightly larger than many other USB mobile broadband devices, but smaller than Telstra's own post-paid USB 4G Modem.
The pre-paid USB 4G modem has a gloss white finish and features Telstra's "4G" branding on both sides. Two antenna ports are located on the right side of the modem hidden by plastic covers, while a single LED light on the front flashes red, green or blue to denote offline, 4G or 3G/2G connections.
The Telstra pre-paid USB 4G modem is manufactured by ZTE. We like the hinged, rotatable connector that allows it to be positioned at various angles. However, we tested the USB 4G modem on both an Apple MacBook Pro and a Toshiba Satellite U840 ultrabook and the connector hindered access to adjacent USB ports on both machines.
The front cover of the Telstra pre-paid USB 4G Modem easily slides off to reveal a regular SIM card slot (Telstra's 4G network runs on a regular BigPond SIM) and a microSD card slot that allows the device to double as a USB flash drive. The software required to run the pre-paid USB 4G modem is included on the modem itself; for Windows users the installer automatically opens, while Mac users simply need to double-click the file that appears on the desktop the first time the modem is plugged in.
Telstra's Connection Manager software allows you to access session information, including sent and received data, 4G/3G indicators and signal strength. It's a relatively light piece of software and the annoying links to Telstra's services, news and search information can be hidden by adjusting options in the view menu.
The Telstra pre-paid USB 4G Modem is marketed as a 4G device, but it uses both 3G and 4G technology. If you move out of an area with 4G coverage, the USB 4G modem will fall back across to the regular Next G 3G network.
Current 4G Telstra coverage (denoted by the dark blue patches on Telstra's coverage map) stretches across all eight capital cities and their respective airports in Australia, along with around 80 regional and metropolitan centres. Telstra says it will continue the LTE rollout into other coverage areas "where demand requires the extra capacity".
Using the Telstra pre-paid USB 4G modem in an LTE coverage area should result in "typical" download speeds of between 2 megabits per second (Mbps) and 40Mbps and typical upload speeds of between 1Mbps and 10Mbps. These are best case scenarios though, and the results we achieved were far less, albeit still pretty impressive. Like all mobile broadband products, the speed will depend on a number of factors including time, location, network coverage, signal strength and congestion.
The speeds we encountered in our North Sydney office (which is in the 4G coverage zone) were impressive but not as fast as Telstra's quoted "typical" speeds. Using PC World's Broadband speed test, we managed to achieve a top download speed of 29Mbps, which is quite impressive for a modem of this kind. Upload speeds during testing peaked at around 11.2Mbps (higher than Telstra's quoted 10Mbps), though generally hovered between 6Mbps and 8.4Mbps on most occasions. In a 4G coverage zone, it took us just over one minute to download a 71.5MB iTunes file with the pre-paid USB 4G modem. Keep in mind, though, that you'll only achieve these speeds within 4G coverage zones — the rest of the time you'll switch over the regular Next G network.
The Telstra pre-paid USB 4G modem sells for $129 and comes with 3GB of data to use in Australia with 30 days' expiry. Recharge options range from $20 for 250MB of data to use in 21 days, up to $150 for 10GB of data with a 365 day expiry. A full list of Telstra's pre-paid mobile broadband plans can be found on its Web site.

Downhill Forward
U.S. U-17 Women's National Team forward Emily Bruder likes to take a direct route toward goal. Typically there are defenders in the way who object to her path of choice and often physical confrontation ensues, but that's not Bruder's problem. In fact, she enjoys it.
Hailing from snowy Utah, which features some of the best ski slopes in the USA, it can be said that Bruder's attacking style is much more downhill than slalom.
Bruder is what one would call a "combative" striker: Get the ball. See the goal. Let's go.
"I like being strong with the ball and I don't want to let any other players get it," said Bruder, who packs quite a bit of muscle on her 5-foot-9 frame. "I take pride in being able to use my strengths to help the team."
Even at this young age, the 17-year-old from Juan Diego Catholic High School has come to appreciate the value of how a physical striker can wear down a defense. She just has to look to her role model, Abby Wambach.
"I watch Abby a lot," said Bruder. "She's definitely really physical up top and is so mentally strong. She comes to every game with that approach. Seeing her play keeps me motivated to keep playing my style and keep improving."
She even earned the nickname "Bruiser" after the U.S. coaches clipped together some video of her bowling over three players in a row during one sequence. Whoops.
"Sometimes I feel like players just bounce off me, and it's not my fault. It's just because I'm bigger than them," said Bruder. "But I do I try to assert myself right from the start of every game. It raises the level of my game and gives me confidence and hopefully helps my team fight even more."
"She is a rare forward in that she actually inflicts more pain on defenders than defenders do on her, and over the course of a game that can take its toll on defenses," said U.S. head coach Albertin Montoya. "At the end of the day, the word I would use is 'effective.' It may not be in the most aesthetically pleasing way, but she gets things done."
While Bruder is playing at the edge of her game on the physical side, she is also working very hard on the technical aspects. When the USA plays a 4-3-3 formation, she can play at center forward with her back to the goal and hold the ball, or she can float out to the wing, preferably the left, where she can cut inside and do damage with her heavy shot or get to the end line and send in dangerous crosses.
"She is a very dangerous player because of her physical qualities," said Montoya. "She is actually one of our best one-on-one players because her mindset is to run at goal and defenders have a hard time dispossessing her. She just has to learn when to go at goal and when choosing another option would be more beneficial to the team at that moment.'
"I'm really working on keeping possession when I receive the ball," said Bruder. "I need to take the time, to hold it and play simple. I don't always need to go to goal right away. I need to feel when to keep the ball, when to pass and when to take players on. Albertin has been really helping me, and I'm starting to figure it out more."
She is also learning that her thundering run at goal pulls defenders out of position and that leaves teammates open.
"We have a lot of talented attacking players on this team, and we need to get everyone involved," said Bruder. "I like being able to run at goal and then find my teammates with passes in dangerous spots, but I am working hard on my finishing."
Yes, it all comes back to finishing, the bugaboo of every young forward. Bruder has scored twice in her six U-17 caps so far, including a spectacular blast from outside in a 2-0 victory against the Germany U-17s last February. But she was disappointed in herself for not putting one away in the USA's match against the China U-20s in early April, a match that ended 0-0.
"Against China, I missed a lot of my shots, so right now I am working finding the net and placing the ball," said Bruder. "Sometimes I have these moments when I am relaxed and can finish, and sometimes I just rush too much, so I feel I'm improving in that area."
While goal-scoring is perhaps the most difficult part of the game, Bruder has found success in that department for high school, club and country.
A star for ECNL club Utah Avalanche, the Stanford-bound junior is already the all-time leading goal scorer at Juan Diego Catholic HS with 87 goals. She is a two-time Salt Lake Tribune Class 3A Player of the Year and led the Soaring Eagles to the Utah Class 3A semifinals this past season with 26 goals, including seven in three postseason games.
"When she gets squared up in the attacking third we almost always get something positive out of her, whether it be a shot, a cross, a corner kick or a goal," said Montoya. "She's deceptively fast running with the ball and can get behind defenses. She's just very difficult to play against."
It's those qualities that Montoya hopes to see in the 2012 CONCACAF U-17 Women's Championships, which will send its top three finishers to the U-17 Women's World Cup in Azerbaijan this fall. Bruder says she and her teammates are ready and have put in the work over the past year to evolve as a cohesive unit.
"In the beginning of this cycle we weren't really playing as a team, and we all could see that," said Bruder. "Now we look at video and we are on the same page and working as a team, covering for each other all over the field and being leaders out there. We've trained for a year for this. It's time we take everything that we've learned put it into action on the field. I know that we can do that, and I feel good about this tournament. I know that all the girls are excited, and we are looking forward to the games. We are ready to play and have fun and win."
Get Bruder to the starting gate.
