DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — As emergency workers tended to injured fans and ambulance sirens wailed in the background, a somber Tony Stewart skipped the traditional post-race victory celebration following the NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday at Daytona International Speedway.
A last-lap accident sent rookie Kyle Larson's car sailing into the fence that separates the track from the seats, and large chunks of Larson's car landed in the grandstands. The car itself had its entire front end sheared off, with a piece of burning engine wedged through a gaping hole in the fence.
Neither NASCAR nor Daytona International Speedway officials had any immediate comment on potential injuries.
"There obviously was some intrusion into the fence and fortunately with the way the event's equipped up, there were plenty of emergency workers ready to go and they all jumped in on it pretty quickly," said NASCAR President Mike Helton. "Right now, it's just a function of determining what all damage is done. They're moving folks, as we've seen, to care centers and take some folks over to Halifax Medical."
Stewart, who won for the 19th time at Daytona and seventh time in the last nine season-opening Nationwide races, was in no mood to celebrate.
"The important thing is what going on on the frontstretch right now," said Stewart, the three-time NASCAR champion. "We've always known, and since racing started, this is a dangerous sport. But it's hard. We assume that risk, but it's hard when the fans get caught up in it.
"So as much as we want to celebrate right now and as much as this is a big deal to us, I'm more worried about the drivers and the fans that are in the stands right now because that was ... I could see it all in my mirror, and it didn't look good from where I was at."
The accident spread into the upper deck and emergency crews treated fans on both levels. There were five stretchers that appeared to be carrying fans out, and a helicopter flew overhead. A forklift was used to pluck Larson's engine out of the fence, and there appeared to be a tire in the stands.
Daytona President Joie Chitwood waited by steps as emergency workers attended to those in the stands. Across the track, fans pressed against a fence and used binoculars trying to watch. Wrecked cars and busted parts were strewn across the garage.
"It's a violent wreck. Just seeing the carnage on the racetrack, it's truly unbelievable," driver Justin Allgaier said. Continued...
It was a chaotic finish to a race that was stopped nearly 20 minutes five laps from the finish by a 13-car accident that sent driver Michael Annett to a local hospital for further evaluation. NASCAR said Annett was awake and alert.
The race resumed with three laps to go, and the final accident occurred with Regan Smith leading as he headed out of the final turn to the checkered flag. He admittedly tried to block Brad Keselowski to preserve the win.
"I tried to throw a block, it's Daytona, you want to go for the win here," Smith said. "I don't know how you can play it any different other than concede second place, and I wasn't willing to do that today. Our job is to put them in position to win, and it was, and it didn't work out."
As the cars began wrecking all around Smith and Keselowski, Stewart slid through for the win, but Larson plowed into Keselowski and his car was sent airborne into the stands. When Larson's car came to a stop, it was missing its entire front end. The 20-year-old, who made his Daytona debut this week, stood apparently stunned, hands on his hips, several feet away from his car, before finally making the mandatory trip to the care center.
He later said his first thought was with the fans.
"I hope all the fans are OK and all the drivers are all right," Larson said. "I took a couple big hits there and saw my engine was gone. Just hope everybody's all right."
He said he was along for the ride in the last-lap accident.
"I was getting pushed from behind, I felt like, and by the time my spotter said lift or go low, it was too late," Larson said. "I was in the wreck and then felt like it was slowing down and I looked like I could see the ground. Had some flames come in the cockpit, but luckily I was all right and could get out of the car quick."
It appeared fans were lined right along the fence when Larson's car sailed up and into it.
Keselowski watched a replay of the final accident, but said his first thoughts were with the fans. As for the accident, he agreed he tried to make a winning move and Smith tried to block. Continued...
"He felt like that's what he had to do, and that's his right. The chaos comes with it," Keselowski said. "I made the move and he blocked it, and the two of us got together and started the chain events that caused that wreck. First and foremost, just want to make sure everyone in the stands is OK and we're thinking about them."
Keselowski said the incident could cast a pall on Sunday's season-opening Daytona 500.
"I think until we know exactly the statuses of everyone involved, it's hard to lock yourself into the 500," Keselowski said. "Hopefully we'll know soon and hopefully everyone's OK. And if that's the case, we'll staring focusing on Sunday."

Small tsunami hits Solomon Islands after earthquake
SYDNEY (AP) — A powerful earthquake off the Solomon Islands generated a tsunami of up to 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) that damaged dozens of homes and likely killed several people in the South Pacific island chain Wednesday.
Authorities canceled warnings for tsunamis on more distant coasts.
Solomons officials reported two 1.5-meter (4 foot, 11-inch) waves hit the western side of Santa Cruz Island, damaging between 70 and 80 homes and properties, said George Herming, a spokesman for the prime minister. Many villagers had headed to higher ground as a precaution, Herming said.
Solomon Islands Police Commissioner John Lansley said local police patrols had reported that several people were presumed dead, though the reports were still being verified.
"Sadly, we believe some people have lost their lives," he said. "At the moment we potentially know of four, but there may of course be more."
One of the people presumed dead was fishing in a dugout canoe when the first wave hit, sweeping him out to sea, Herming said. Officials were searching for his body. Another woman was believed to have drowned when the water rushed into her village, Herming said.
Four villages on Santa Cruz were impacted by the waves, with two facing severe damage, Lansley said. Other areas of the Solomons did not appear to have been seriously affected.
Disaster officials were struggling to reach the remote area after the tsunami flooded the airstrip at the nearest airport and left it littered with debris.
The tsunami formed after an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck near the town of Lata, on Santa Cruz in Temotu province, the easternmost province of the Solomons, about a 3-hour flight from the capital, Honiara. Temotu has a population of around 30,000 people.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said a tsunami of about a meter (3 feet) was measured in Lata wharf. Smaller waves were recorded in Vanuatu and New Caledonia. Continued...
The center cancelled earlier warnings for tsunami waves further away.
Richard Dapo, a school principal on an island near Santa Cruz, said he lives inland but has been fielding calls from families on the coast whose homes have been damaged by the waves.
"I try to tell the people living on the coastline, 'Move inland, find a higher place. Make sure to keep away from the sea. Watch out for waves,"' he said.
He said he's heard the waves have swamped some smaller islands, although he's not aware of any deaths or serious injuries at this point. He said it's difficult to contact people because cellphone coverage is patchy in the region.
In Honiara, the warnings prompted residents to flee for higher ground.
"People are still standing on the hills outside of Honiara just looking out over the water, trying to observe if there is a wave coming in," said Herming, the prime minister's spokesman.
Atenia Tahu, who works for the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corp. in Honiara, said most people were remaining calm.
"People around the coast and in the capital are ringing in and trying to get information from us and the National Disaster Office and are slowly moving up to higher ground," Tahu said. "But panic? No, no, no, people are not panicking."
Dr. Rooney Jagilly, the medical superintendent at the National Referral Hospital in Honiara, said the hospital asked about half its 200 patients to leave and stay with family or friends as a precautionary measure because the hospital is located near the shoreline. Those patients who weren't mobile enough to move stayed, but the hospital remained ready to evacuate them.
Jagilly said there had been no flooding and he hoped the hospital would return to normal Thursday. He said his staff was ready to mobilize to Santa Cruz because the small hospital there has no doctor after the previous one recently died. Continued...
An official at the disaster management office in Vanuatu said there were no reports of damage or injuries there.
More than 50 people were killed and thousands lost their homes in April 2007 when a magnitude 8.1 quake hit the western Solomon Islands, sending waves crashing into coastal villages.
The Solomons comprise more than 200 islands with a population of about 552,000 people. They lie on the "Ring of Fire" — an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones that stretches around the Pacific Rim and where about 90 percent of the world's quakes occur.
The U.S. Geological Survey said Wednesday's quake struck 81 kilometers (50 miles) west of Lata, at a depth of 5.8 kilometers (3.6 miles).

Wait…. what? It's 2013?!?! Let's celebrate turning a new leaf of a beginning of a new year and just the gift of seeing another year come with family and friends. There is just something purifying about a new start isn't there? I celebrated with my friends and boyfriend near home. We kept it low key, but it did give me an excuse to make healthy treats! I chose my fruit & cilantro salsa and a fluffy pudding and berry dessert. Soon after the celebration was over, my vacation was over and it was back to traveling for me! I was thrilled to begin the year heading to Orlando for the AMTC-SHINE Convention for which I was invited to be a guest speaker. This is the convention I competed in back in 2010 to be scouted by FORD Models. Since then, my life has been forever changed.
AMTC stands for Actors Models and Talent for Christ. The non-profit convention consists of several seminars to teach young and aspiring actors and models about ways to keep their faith while pursuing their dreams in the entertainment industry. My job was to speak as someone who competed and is now working in the industry. I spoke in two different seminars where the students were allowed to ask various questions. I HIGHLY recommend this convention for anyone interested in modeling, acting, singling, dancing, or any type of job in the entertainment industry. Other people who are AMTC alums include the country singer Chris Young, Ben Davies of Courageous, Army Wives' Noree Victoria, Megan Fox, and many more! Visit www.AMTCWORLD.com to find out more.
Some of the questions I was asked included:
"What are you daily rituals to stay close to God? " – I answered by describing my daily devotional – Jesus Calling (highly recommended!!!) which is tattered and torn from carrying it with me as I travel each week. However, I purposely bring it with me when I travel not to make myself look good, but in hopes of starting a conversation with a stranger in order to introduce them to Jesus. It has happened several times and gives me an easy opening on a subject that isn't always easy to bring up. Another question was…
"Have you ever witnessed to other people you know became Christians?" – my response to this question was my story about a girl who was from another country who didn't know about Jesus or Christianity very well at all. I met her while I was shooting for Kohls one day. She described how she didn't like the rules it requires us to follow. I get very nervous when needing to witness to someone simply because I know my words could have a major impact on them. It is a lot of responsibility representing the Christian heart around people who have been turned off from God. I tried my hardest to explain that Christianity isn't about just about "the rules," but it's about the relationship with Jesus and accepting his ultimate sacrifice. This reminds me of the song titled "The motions" which refers to Christians who get so caught up in the act of do this don't do that that they forget the most important factor – do they know Jesus? For Jesus said: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" Matthew 7:21-23.
So yes! It is important do do his will, but he must also KNOW US as your best friend knows you. It's important to have the relationship with him as you do anyone you care for and put effort into maintaining a relationship with in your life.
Although I haven't seen that girl I witnessed to since, I just hope I made a difference. I am working on not getting nervous as I witness to others because God says to let him talk through you. He also says to let your actions speak the loud.
Another question someone asked me in the seminar was: "How do you stay pure in this industry when people push you so far?" – I described the importance of letting your agents know how far you will go and what you won't do when it comes to shoots, acting, and anything else. I also spoke about having that one person you trust to guide you in the right path when sticky situations arise– because they will. I described my story of doing just this when I called my mother agent Nise Davies from Tennessee. After speaking with her I have had a clear understanding since about what I consider okay and what I don't when it comes to work. (Any aspiring models/actors wanting further advise on where to draw the lines in such gray industry – find me on modeledbymaria FB page and message me! I'd be happy to help and supply further details of my story!) Overall, I have been truly blessed with FORD who totally understands me, and puts me as a person opposed to a source of income, first. I will never forget when I was competing at AMTC and the FORD scout – Shannon – said herself in a seminar "don't let this industry become WHO you are, it is just what you DO." I strive to never forget that, and I honestly think that is the reason why I have any success that I do have today.
I was supposed to be teaching aspiring actors and models about God and this industry, and I sure hope I did. However, I left the sunshine state being so inspired myself from all of them. My eyes were opened to how blessed I am to be working in this industry and having the job that I do have. I also was reminded of the importance of shining God's light on other people in the industry, and to not take that lightly. "For who knows that you have not come to a royal position for such a time as this?"-Esther 4:14.
The new year continued on wonderfully from AMTC with several flight changes in order to go directly from Orlando to Dallas to shoot for JCP (JcPenny). I shoot swimsuits for their website. Although it may seem like the dead of winter to you, swim season is in full force here in the modeling world to prepare Spring ads. I love shooting there because the studio has the southern hospitality just like home back in KY, yet it still has the big city feel. I had to take a picture when I saw water served in Mason glass jars . From Dallas I went back north, bypassing home, to Chicago to shoot for one of my favorite and most family-like clients of all time – Sears. It is never a boring day in that studio due to how much the stylists, photographers, and hair/makeup artists make me feel at home. Finally, I flew back to KY after several days on the road in order to have a few more days at home before hitting the road again. Although many people would complain about days on the road, I simply love traveling and truly enjoyed starting the year off this busy. My hope is that it continues strong and that this is the best year yet!!
Lastly – just so you can hold me accountable… my new year resolutions:
1. Blog MORE!!!!! (I haven't decreased my traveling or photo-shoots… just let holidays and finals get the best of me and my time!)
2. Live slower – allowing more time before having to leave the house to not rush so much. I'm also only taking 2 classed for my online grad school this semester in order to keep my sanity with traveling. This increased tie included increased time before passing out in bed in order to get my personal-God & me & maintaining the relationship time in.
3. Be on time more – okay…see? I admitted it…. it isn't always traffic's fault
4. Attempt doing more yoga and eating more organically – going along wit my overall goal of slower/more relaxed living
5. Don't let traveling be an excuse to not be more actively involved at church opposed to just attending Sunday services.
6. Never take a day for granted and remember life is all about relationships with those around me – it's important to nourish them adequately!

Hi All, I have heard enough complaints about people being made about me placingsomething so personal on a "consumer site"... Well there is a connection. Just visit: http://afa.net/ They list companies to attack and boycott for their support of the GLBTcommunity... Is that really worse than someone complainting about their hair hurting? Please... I think I might have brought a topic up that might make sensefor people to think about... Not the same, I hate this company because Ididn't get my way... I am all for PFB, but too often politics harm consumers too. Just my 2 cents. I am not here to offend or "take up bandwidth". I thinkPFB is safe from crashing or becoming homo-friendly...
Dear Mr. Allen, (and recipients) I received your response in regards to the US Marriage Amendment notblocking states from acknowledging Civil Unions or Partnerships. Mr.Allen, your supporters may feel this is true, but it's not. I would liketo share with you my personal reasons I don't support any Amendmentregarding Marriage. One reason this is so personal to me is because thiswill be on the ballot in November. It has implications that hit very closeto home for me. Why should the majority vote on the freedom/rights of aminority; how is that justice when the outcome is nothing short ofhopeless? Here is my history; my partner and I have been together nearly 5 years now.We live in the same way an engaged couple would. We have a joint checkingaccount, we purchased our home together, we purchased our cars together,and our wills reflect our wishes and commitments to each other as lifepartners. You might think, that is all well and good, so why are myfeathers in a ruffle? It is because this new amendment states that marriagecan only be between one man and one woman, and that any arrangementapproximating marriage is null and void... So, as you can imagine, if I were to pass away, any one of my greedy familymembers to walk in under this law and take everything away from my partner(or vice versa). Since I have checked into this with multiple lawyers and ajudge, I know it to be a fact. Then if I were hospitalized for any reasonand could not express my wishes to the staff, my partner would not beallowed in to see me. The one person that I would want with me, would bekept from being at my side in case of an emergency because he is not"related to me" or married to me. These are just a few of the reasons myblood boils over this subject. We live a very quiet life, we volunteer timeto our community and do our part as good citizens. I even hold an office inour community's government and work for a major worldwide company, and sodoes my partner. Regardless, our commitment to each other is very personal.We don't run out and kiss in public or any other offensive act. We are veryprivate and show the public at large, the utmost respect. It bothers mebecause these laws and amendments make our commitment to each other nulland void in many cases especially under the law. Our contracts and willsare of a legal nature and no amendment or law should block something sopersonal and private. It is simply no one's business, or it shouldn't be...I hope this helps you better understand my personal feelings now. My parents are long gone, both passed away years ago. My brother is adevout Southern Baptist and struggles with my lifestyle; my sister is adrug addict in your fine state and would take any opportunity to getanything she could of value in light of my death... It simply isn'tright... I just want to live my life in peace. Surely you can understandthat? I hope. I am not saying my life style is right or natural. I am noteven asking for you to agree with it or approve of it. I just want peopleto respect my life as an American and as a fellow human being. My partnerand I hurt no one, we don't bother anyone. We deserve a little bettertreatment by our government and by others. We only ask for the same respectand tolerance that we show everyone else. Nothing more, nothing less. Ithink if you spoke one on one to other gay people that are in committedrelationships they would tell you the same thing. I will be the first toadmit we are just as human as heterosexuals; we have people that live inthe bars and clubs that represent our community poorly, like every othercommunity. The hard part is looking beyond those that stand out and seeingthe honest hard working people in each community, if gay or straight, goodpeople that just want to live the American dream and be happy. So manypeople make this a religious issue, which I understand and actuallyrespect. To them, I ask, please allow me the same freedom you have, andallow God to be the judge. I'm not harming you in any way. Besides thefirst amendment is supposed to give us all the right to worship or not, aswe see fit. Please Mr. Allen, stop the lies; you can't really be that naive. You knowas well as I do that this amendment will strip any connection I have withmy partner, short of roommate status. This is nothing short ofdiscrimination and evil. I know you want to run for President, but firstyour have to act like one. You can't go around calling people names, andtaking people's rights away by refusing to allow the law to protect themthrough contracts, beneficiaries, and other legal arrangements. It's notAmerican or Virginian, its bigotry at it's finest. I am sorry for being soangry. Put yourself in my shoes. How would you feel?
People say Love is Blind... I say Religion is... Following any religion so blindly and placing it before the very freedomsthat allow that religion to exist is DANGEROUS. If you doubt it'shappening, look at history around the world. Look at Iraq, look at thecrusades. Now look at the evangelical uprising here in the US. It is ofthings to come... We must stop judging each other and remember whatAmerica is all about... FREEDOM & LIBERTY.
VA BALLOT QUESTION NUMBER 1 November 2006 Shall Article I, the Bill of Rights, of the Constitution of Virginia beamended to state "That only a union between one man and one woman may be amarriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its politicalsubdivisions" "This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not create orrecognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals thatintends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects ofmarriage. Nor shall this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions createor recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which isassigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects ofmarriage."? Dear Family, Friends, Associates and Neighbors: I send this message to you as a plea. Above is the full text of theamendment that you, as a registered voter, will be voting on this November. This is a plea because this amendment will deeply affect my life in aprofound way. Please note the section that is bolded and underlined inred above. It states that no agreement or even contract, such as a will orbeneficiary will be valid between any two individuals, other than thosethat are legally married. This impacts contacts with people that havejointly purchased homes, listed others as beneficiaries, will agreements,joint bank accounts and many other legal agreements that you might take forgranted. This entire subject is very personal and private to me. I would neverdiscuss something of this nature with anyone other than my partner, forthose that know me, you already know even writing this email is extremelyuncomfortable for me. While I might agree and respect the sanctity ofmarriage, I do not agree with the wording of this amendment. It restrictsme from legally securing my personal and financial affairs in my life. This is extremely humiliating to me. I have confirmed with three differentlaw firms and even spoke with a retired judge to confirm the implication ofthis amendment to all unmarried individuals. This amendment simply goestoo far. I sincerely ask you to vote against this amendment in November. Virginiaalready has at least 2 different laws in place that protect marriage. Thisamendment not only goes too far, but it is simply unnecessary. As your relative, friend, associate and neighbor. I respectfully ask youto vote against this amendment in November. Please vote "NO" and encourageyour friends and family members to also vote "NO". I rarely ask anyone foranything, this time my plea is very important.
Honorable Elected Official: I am writing you today because of this cultural war that seems to havebroken out regarding the marriage amendment. I have taken the time tospeak with both extreme sides on the matter and the results are always thesame and surprisingly consistent. The deeply religious people always want, "to protect the sanctity ofmarriage and define it as a union between one man and one woman"; which isfine from a religious point of view. However if you look at and speak withhomosexual people they say, "They want the same rights and protections as amarried couple." Both of these arguments are valid in the Liberties outlined in theConstitution, specifically the preamble. Where the opposition comes in iswhen the argument becomes one-sided. When you have the deeply religiouspushing for an amendment and the homosexuals pushing for equal marriagerights you cause this cultural war. This is understandable if you take amoment to understand both sides of this situation. The answer is simple. While passing this legislature to define marriage,also attach or push through legislature to protect the rights ofhomosexuals. If you don't want to call it a Religious Marriage and a CivilMarriage, you could just call one Marriage, and the other a Civil Union. The catch is, when it comes to legality the word marriage is already on alllegal documents between two people, if you change the wording to CivilUnion, all the documents have to change to accommodate the new status. This is a topic that many people take sides on. I think if we all tried tounderstand each other and tried harder to meet in the middle agreementscould be made to protect both. However, this could not be done separately. These laws need to pass together as one amendment, and need to be reviewedby both parties to ensure the wording isn't so loose that you could drive abus through the loop holes. This is the same issue facing Virginia'samendment. I ask everyone that reads this letter to put down the stones, take a deepbreath, understand the deeply religious aren't going away, and thehomosexuals are only growing in numbers. It is time to find a peacefulsolution that makes everyone happy. Please remember that "respect does notrequire approval." We live in the United States of America; we must allstart being American's first and everything else second. We need to treateveryone with respect and dignity despite if we agree or disagree with whatthey are asking for; as long as it does no harm to anyone else then thereis no reason not to accommodate their liberties and equal rights under thelaw. In memory of Coretta Scott King, please remember "justice is indivisible",not long ago she spoke on this issue and was very plain spoken about it;please work toward a solution that represents everyone, not just themajority in this case. Remember, what the homosexual people want doesn'thurt anyone; if it did, then pass all the laws you want to, but what theywant is respect and liberty like every other American.
Dear Elected Official: I found an amazing statement recently I wanted to share with you. To be a person of faith is to have the world challenge that faith. Was theuniverse designed by God? Should marriage only be between one man and onewoman? That's up to everyone in this country to decide for themselves,because the Framers of our Constitution believed that if the people were tobe sovereign and belong to different religions at the same time, then ourofficial religion would have to be no religion at all. It was a boldexperiment then--as it is now. It wasn't meant to make us comfortable. Itwas meant to make us FREE. This statement expresses the very fabric of what it is to be an American. It is our most essential imperative that protects all of us in the firstamendment. I fear our country has lost sight of this. So many seem benton protecting the sanctity of marriage. This entire controversy contrasts our freedoms in this country. I simplyask that each and every person remember the freedoms our framers worked sohard to protect and cherish. In the times of modern conveniences and fastfood we have forgotten these most basic imperatives and are writing thingsinto our constitutions that would make the Framers of our Constitutionsfaint. We all need to be very careful and much less reckless in regards to ourConstitutions and most sacred documents. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, orprohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and topetition the government for a redress of grievances. It seems that all the different states are attempting to sanctify marriageby using the state constitutions. This goes against the first amendment. It amazes me that our leadership is getting away with this (probablybecause they are mostly Christian...) raising an entirely new issue, butstill the same dangerous lack of regard and respect for these documents. It's time to draw the line again... I would simply like to ask you to think before you act so quickly.
"To be a person of faith is to have the world challenge that faith. Wasthe universe designed by God? Should marriage only be between one man andone woman? That's up to everyone in this country to decide for themselves,because the Framers of our Constitution believed that if the people were tobe sovereign and belong to different religions at the same time, then ourofficial religion would have to be no religion at all. It was a boldexperiment then--as it is now. It wasn't meant to make us comfortable. Itwas meant to make us FREE.'

The radio show apologized for the call Wednesday, saying it "was done with light-hearted intentions."
The show was known for its irreverent humor, aimed at a young, mainly female demographic. The hosts were devoted to gossip and pranks.
Its two DJs, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, continued to tweet about the call on Thursday and earlier Friday, promising "more on the #royalprank."
Talking about the call on air Thursday, Greig said: "They were the world's worst accents ever. We were sure 100 people at least before us would've tried the same thing. ... We were expecting to be hung up on -- we didn't even know what to say when we got through."
Some listeners applauded the prank, like one who identified himself as Guido on the station's Facebook page and wrote, "It is only a joke people! it was great i love it!!!"
Others were outraged, with such negative views outnumbering positive ones on 2DayFM's before the nurse's death.
"Your stunt was done at a time in this country where there is paranoia about the intrusion of the media into people's lives," Gary Slenders wrote. "I know you will say it is harmless fun, the management of 2DayFM will say that it won't happen again, but this exactly where the phone hacking scandal started."
The outcry grew exponentially after Saldanha's death, leading the Coles supermarket chain to remove all its advertising from 2Day FM in response.
By Friday evening, a spokeswoman for the station told CNN in a statement that the pair will "not return to the show until further notice out of respect for what can only be described as a tragedy." She said Greig and Christian -- whose Twitter accounts have been taken down -- were "deeply shocked" by the incident.
Rhys Holleran, CEO of the Southern Cross Austereo media group, echoed those facts and views in a press conference Saturday afternoon, saying the company and DJs "mutually decided" they would be off the air for an undetermined period.

Although the potential for recognition this awards season is definitely there for the deeply moving teen dramedy "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," star Logan Lerman feels in many ways, he's already a winner by simply having the chance to experience the project.
"I honestly don't have any expectations. I was satisfied with the filmmaking process, and when it was done I said, 'That's it. It's perfect," Logan told me, humbly, in a recent interview. "I ended up seeing the movie and really enjoyed it, but as far as the awards attention, it's all very flattering and nothing I was really expecting."
Perhaps the bellwether of good things to come happened last week with the Film Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best First Feature for writer-director Stephen Chbosky, who adapted the film from his best-selling novel of the same name. Lerman said it's only right that Chbosky's vision is being recognized, because it's what brought everybody together.
"I really hope people recognize Steve's incredible script," Lerman enthused. "Every element of it went into the process of making the movie and what it turned out to be. I would definitely praise his material. It was beautifully written."
Now playing in theaters nationwide, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" stars Lerman as Charlie, an introverted teenager gingerly entering freshman year in high school. Emotionally fragile since childhood, Charlie believes the prospects are bleak until he forms an unlikely friendship with Patrick (Ezra Miller) and his half-sister, Sam (Emma Watson) -- a pair of free-spirited seniors who change the wallflower's life in ways he could never have imagined.
To make sure that he and Chbosky were on the same page, quite literally, Lerman said read the filmmaker's book version of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" prior to filming. He reveled in the chance to work with a talent who was writing and directing a project based on his own novel -- something that doesn't happen in Hollywood too often.
"It was like having a little cheat sheet there -- he was the No. 1 asset to have around and I took advantage of it," Lerman beamed. "I read the book before shooting because it was important for this type for film. It's not like a really loose interpretation of it. We were trying to keep it really similar to it so the fans who appreciate his book would be really satisfied, so we worked hard at doing that."
One of the key aspects of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" is the relatability factor it has with its audiences, especially as Charlie enters high school without a friend to call his own. And while most audience members hopefully won't have suffered the trauma Charlie has at this point in his life, they'll definitely relate to how vital friendship is to the high school experience.
"I think everybody's been there -- everybody's been in that position," said Lerman, who will turn 21 next month. "It's definitely nostalgic, but it's also about the importance of those relationships you make at that point in your life, where you find people that you can trust and confide in."
Lerman said the reason Charlie's friendship resonates on screen is because of the real bond he formed with his castmates -- especially Watson and Miller.

Reports of Voter Fraud, Voter ID Challenges, Irregularities Reported in Eastern PA
Election Day brought problems at polls in several areas of eastern Pennsylvania
EASTERN PA — Several reports of voting irregularities in Eastern Pennsylvania emerged on Tuesday, the day of the presidential election. In Easton, signs appeared offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to voter fraud convictions. A constable for Easton's 10th ward removed one such sign staked into the ground after consulting with an elections attorney on site. The Pennsylvania Commercial Action Network, the same group that posted "Replace ObamaCare" billboards around the state, made the signs. ID Requests Many Easton voters also reported poll workers asking for their IDs, even though IDs are not required for this election cycle under the law. Matthew Keeler, press secretary for the PA Department of State, said that's part of the …

Americans never lose their fascination with Abraham Lincoln, but now is an especially good time to be plunging into the 16th president's story, as the producers of "Killing Lincoln" are finding out.
National Geographic Channel's new docudrama -- based on the bestseller co-written by Fox News host Bill O'Reilly -- is coming on the heels of Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," which has already gathered plenty of Oscar buzz and sparked viewer interest in the Civil War period.
Billy Campbell, who plays Lincoln in the NatGeo movie, has the unenviable task of following Daniel Day-Lewis in the Spielberg film. Friday morning at the TV media tour in Pasadena, Campbell said that starting out he had few specific notions about how to portray Lincoln's voice and mannerisms, although he did reveal a deep personal interest in the period, as a lifelong Civil War buff and battle reenactor.
As a native Virginian, Campbell played -- gulp -- Confederates. But "we had uniforms for the other side as well," the actor noted wryly. "A lot of us flip-flopped."
The NatGeo project is adapted from the O'Reilly book about the plot to kill Lincoln in 1865. "It was probably the most pivotal moment in American history, and we needed to get it right," Jesse Johnson, who plays Lincoln's assassin, the actor John Wilkes Booth, told reporters.
Neither O'Reilly nor his coauthor, Martin Dugard, showed up for the panel.
But executive producer Erik Jendresen said Booth's crime led to an early example of popular attacks on the entertainment industry.
"The day after the assassination there were reports of a lynch mob seeking out actors," Jendresen said.

A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Navigating the Crises
In this video, Brian McLaren discusses the idea of surrogate arguments, in which a debate over one thing is really a means for arguing something completely different. According to McClaren, the argument over the age of the earth is one such argument.
Report on BioLogos-Reasons To Believe Dialogue
BioLogos and Reasons To Believe are Christian non-profit organizations. On January 23, 2010, three scientists and a theologian who support BioLogos met in Washington, DC, with three scientists and a theologian from Reasons To Believe to discuss areas of agreement and disagreement.

Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
The Broken Made Whole
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
Series: Chosen by God: Biblical Election and the Imago Dei
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
Series: Thinking Aloud Together
This series by Scot McKnight relates a lecture given at the 2012 BioLogos workshop for Evangelical theologians, scientists, authors and pastors. He explains that evolution is taught in public schools, and therefore must be addressed by Evangelical pastors in the churches as well. This will educate a whole generation of upcoming scientists on the issues of science and faith. Overall, he encourages scientists and pastors to collaborate on the issue as they rethink the long held interpretations of Genesis 1-3.
Why should Christians consider evolutionary creation?
Because evolution is a challenging subject, many Christians are tempted to simply ignore or reject it. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and with our relationships with other people—believers and non-Christians alike. First, Christians should study evolution because (like all the natural sciences) it is the study of God's creation. Creation itself is a complementary revelation to what is communicated in the Scriptures, and through it God shows how and when he brought about life, to his honor and glory. Studying the creation is also an invitation into a deeper understanding of the attributes and character of Father, Son and Spirit. Second, considering evolutionary creation aids the Church in its gospel mission, supporting young Christians in their faith, helping answer critics, and equipping us to engage effectively in the wider culture. An anti-evolution attitude can harm Christian young people by presenting them with a false choice between pursuing science OR holding to faith. Similarly, a hostile attitude towards evolution can hinder evangelism when seekers hear that they must reject science to follow Christ. On the other hand, studying evolution as a God-ordained process helps Christians refute arguments that science encourages an atheistic worldview. Furthermore, as the church engages front-page issues raised by the rapid growth in science, medicine, and technology, a Christ-centered voice in such areas as bioethics will be stronger if based on a thorough understanding of the natural sciences, including evolution.

Mitochondrial Eve, Y-Chromosome Adam, and Reasons to Believe
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church
A five-year project headed by the Barna Group explores the opportunities and challenges of faith development among teens and young adults within a rapidly shifting culture.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.

Many mouse, touchpad, and keyboard problems are caused by hardware that isn't set up properly. Here's some information about how to check your device, make sure cables are connected properly, make sure the hardware has power, and check the settings.
Check that all cables are plugged in to the correct locations. This can include mouse and keyboard, PS2 and USB cables, and, in some cases, external USB touchpad cables.
Disconnect USB cables and wait for a short time for the device driver to be unloaded by Windows, and then plug the device back in and the driver will reload.
Try using a different USB port on your PC. For example, move from a port on the front or side of the PC to a port on the back of the PC.
If you use a USB hub between the device and the PC, try removing the USB hub and plugging the device directly into a USB port on the PC.
If you're using a USB hub that uses an external power supply, make sure the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet and is working properly.
Make sure that the cables on your device aren't damaged in any way. Damaged cables can cause the device to stop working properly.
Make sure old or worn batteries in your devices are replaced and functioning properly.
If you're using a wireless or Bluetooth device, you might need to disconnect the device from your PC and then reconnect it. Look on the bottom of the wireless device for a Reset button. Resetting the device will disconnect and then reconnect the wireless connection. There might also be a Reset button on the USB receiver for your device.
USB wireless devices. For USB wireless devices, this might be as simple as unplugging the USB wireless receiver, waiting for about 10 seconds, and then plugging the USB wireless receiver back into the USB port. The wireless connection should be reestablished. For additional help with USB devices, see Install a USB device.
Bluetooth devices. For Bluetooth devices, the steps might be a little more detailed, and you'll need to follow the steps listed in the documentation that came with the device. For additional help with Bluetooth devices, see Add a Bluetooth enabled device to your computer and Add a Bluetooth or other wireless or network device: frequently asked questions.
If the device doesn't appear to work at all (for example, no lights appear on the device when it's plugged in, or the cursor doesn't move or doesn't appear on the screen), connect the device to another PC and make sure the device works on that PC. If the device doesn't work on the other PC, you might need to replace the hardware.
Some devices won't work without installing a driver. When testing the device on another PC, make sure that you have the correct driver installed for the device. (See the Update drivers tab for help with installing the device driver.)

Entry tags: | cycle, garden, journey |
I have an umbrella on the table on my southeast facing front deck, so it's still shady there.
Every year when the seasons seem to change before the solar cycles do, I think about covering this deck.
And after giving an appropriate amount of thought to what would be a major disruption for me, I move on to other thoughts.
The cicadas are back.
They emerge every 13 years, with males announcing their presence before they move on northward as the soil temperature rises.
I've been here 17 years come this fall.
So I've sat out in front of this home, and heard the cicadas before.
I think that's a record for me.
The first time I've been in the same home when the cicadas began their serenade.
Because I've been here that long, my garden has matured quite a bit. It thankfully doesn't take all the heavy lifting it used to.
My back isn't what it used to be. That's just part of the cycle.
So I'm learning to ask for help when I need it.
That's a lesson in the cycle.
I think it's neat how the cycles work...I've moved into a cycle where it is good and necessary to slow down, have a seat on my deck under the umbrella, and review the framework I've completed over a period of time.
Does it need some tweaking here and there? Does something need to be ripped out, recycled, or re-done in some way?
That works equally well in the garden...
The journey is good.

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
We were in the car. I was, at a guess, about 7 years old. Mum was driving (as per the norm) and my aunt was riding shotgun. I remember it SO clearly…
"Where are we going mum?"
There was an air of excitement about the journey, even though I had no clue about the planned destination. I think it had been badged as a 'surprise'.
"OK", said my mum. "What is it that you want more than anything in the whole world?"
I pondered this for a millisecond, my seven-year-old brain whirling with the knowledge that I had been banging on about one particular thing which I desperately wanted for months. I had sustained a relentless nagging which I seriously doubted would ever actually pay off. Could it really be that? Wow, I really had better parents than I had thought!
"Is it a……hhhorse?" I ventured, tentatively.
"Ah. No." The reply, accompanied by a stifled snigger, spoke volumes. It had been too much to hope. Probably some crabby relative we're visiting or something equally boring.
"Try something a bit smaller."
Oh well, in for a penny….."A…dog?" I offered.
Had my mother really just agreed to buy us a dog?! I leaned forward between the two front seats and screamed (this was the pre Clunk-Click-Every-Trip era) and planted huge kisses on both womens' cheeks.
This was the day that Folly, the Terrier cross-breed entered our lives.
She was small & black, with a curious ginger beard and a white throat. She had only half a tail – an unfortunate case of mistaken umbilical identity by her mother at birth. She was a beauty, much loved, gentle and loving, and she was our constant companion for about 7 years until her sad demise in 1981. She gave us 7 delightful puppies (an unplanned pregnancy!) in around 1978, which crawled all over each other in the garden shed like little mice. My brother and I adored and named them all, and begged to keep one. Sooo not happening.
The pups were all black, with one exception which was a 'nude' colour. He was, infact SO nude when he was born that we nick-named him 'Kojak'. He was destined to be our favourite from the off. Parental common sense prevailed and we found good homes for them all.
In the intervening years, pets have played a huge part in my life.
There was:-
- a Guinea Pig named Suki
- a pair of gerbils (Bubble & Squeak)
- a scruffy mongrel dog, Sam, whom I inherited from a scruffy mongrel boyfriend. He simply like me better. Who wouldn't?
- a hamster called Scratchy, and
- a fierce (and also inherited) English Bull Terrier called Sweep (another case of love me, love my enormous killer white dog).
All of the above sadly departed.
Latterly, as children arrived, pets made a resurgence. So much so that my life is now dominated by furry friends and I am a veritable Doctor Dolittle.
Meet, respectively :-
a) Dandy & Rosie, our Border Terrier brother and sister (we went for one and came home with two – don't judge me).
b) Tarzan, the Siberian puss – yes, I know it's a stupid name.
c) Pancake (an even more stupid name), the vegetarian lizard – in a bid to finally satisfy my eldest's unquenchable thirst for animals to ignore and for mummy to feed & tend.
We are critter-lovers, I cannot deny it. They bring a degree of joy and fun to our family life which is irreplaceable, along with a degree of chaos which I could well do without.

Sette ST-21 Tool Kit - 21 Tools
Essential Tool Set for Use at Home or Trailhead
The Sette ST-21 is a top quality bike toolkit at an amazing price. Every tool is custom designed to do its intended job and then manufactured to precise tolerances. Sette tools are intended for use by home mechanics but they're good enough for professionals: we've had our own mechanics use them without any problems!
Just got my order in the mail today. It's no Park Tools kit, but has pretty much everything you need to completely strip and reassemble a bike (except for bearings and headset). Great price, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good starter tool kit.
