"Knuckleball!" to Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival
It may be the toughest pitch for batters to hit, but this weekend the knuckleball is set to be a big hit with theatergoers. Knuckleball!, a new film by acclaimed documentarians Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg, will premiere this Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Produced in association with Major League Baseball Productions and utilizing its extensive library of archival baseball footage, Knuckleball! tracks the history of the unpredictable pitch while focusing on two of its best-known and most-recent practitioners, R.A. Dickey and Tim Wakefield.
The film also features interviews with knuckleball legends including Phil Niekro, Charlie Hough and Jim Bouton, who discuss their own histories with the pitch and reflect on the attitude and commitment required to master it.
Saturday's outdoor screening behind the World Financial Center at 250 Vesey St. is free and open to the public. Prior to the screening, Dickey, Wakefield, Hough and Bouton will all be on hand for a free clinic from 6:30-8:00 on the lawn.

MONROE — A Monroe woman is facing a felony charge for allegedly lying to help her teenage son's friend skip school.
Jackie Sevillano, 32, committed first-degree criminal impersonation on May 4 when she called Monroe school officials, claimed to be the boy's mother, and said he was not in class because he was at a doctor's appointment, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Walt Sowa said.
School officials didn't buy the ruse, and called the boy's parents. They were alarmed, Sowa said. The boy later was tracked down by police, who found him with another teen. The pair reportedly admitted spending the day trespassing and smoking marijuana, the prosecutor wrote.
Sevillano offered "a series of poorly constructed lies" when confronted by police, but eventually admitted calling the school and misrepresenting her identity.
The felony charge was filed after Sevillano rejected an offer to plead guilty to attempted first-degree criminal impersonation, a gross misdemeanor, court papers said.

ah my god, that's a bit much, wtf, stop this madness!
Not really, the dude thinks I have a personal vendetta against him because I don't like him, he doesn't like me and thats were it ends, he suddenly think because someone else hates him it has to be me. I really couldn't give a flying fuck about him.
thats like Clark Kent trying to get out of being superman, albeit in a much more vulgar and insane way. You are obsessed, its so obvious. Because of trolls like you the forum is now shit. Very much like the way you fight. I dont need to hide behind any names to say that. Your a coward for doing so. This is my last post. I need to go and sleep before i work, and train. Keep up the bad work.
Best of luck with the fight Reedy

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Rookie Kevin O'Shea poured in a career-high six points and three Hawks netted hat tricks on Saturday afternoon to lead the University of Hartford men's lacrosse team to a 24-4 oust of the Wagner Seahawks at Alumni Stadium.
The Hawks improve to 3-6 with the victory and will return to action on Saturday evening when they open up America East Conference action with a date against the UMBC Retrievers. Opening face-off from Baltimore is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Wagner dips to 0-8 on the season.
The 24 tallies by the Hawks marked the most goals in a single game for Hartford since March 25, 2000 when they poured in 26 in a 24-goal win against Wagner.
The game was dominated by Hartford from start to finish as the Hawks never trailed in the contest and quickly jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first quarter and took a commanding 13-1 advantage at the halftime break. The Hawks dominated the third quarter, 5-1, and went on to outscore the Seahawks 6-2 in the final period to score the victory in commanding fashion.
Sophomore Andrew Cacchio and veterans Ryan Compitello and Aidan Genik each recorded three-goal games while O'Shea, Martin Bowes, Carter Bender, Jared Franze and James Murphy scored two goals apiece to lead Hartford's attack. Murphy, a rookie, reached the back of the net for the first time in his career and was joined by classmate Robert Zecher in accomplishing the feat.
In a penalty-driven first quarter that saw 11 yellow flags down on the field, six in favor of the Seahawks, Ty Schuldt put the first tally on the scoreboard just 15 seconds after the opening whistle. Jared Franze and Bowes made it a 3-0 outing before David DeCirce put Wagner on the board with just 49 seconds left in the opening period.
During that stretch, Wagner was 1-for-6 in their man-up opportunities while Hartford was just 0-5. The Hawks held their opposition to just two extra man goals in 13 chances, while Hartford converted on 3-of-10 man-up situations.
The Hawks rallied in the second quarter for 10-straight goals and kept the Seahawks off of the board the entire quarter to push ahead by a margin of 13-1. Out of the intermission, Hartford continued the offensive onslaught with five more unanswered markers before Wagner doubled its goal production with 6:35 left to make it a 15-2 game.
In the final quarter, Hartford delivered back-to-back scores before allowing a pair of Wagner goals by Colin O'Rourke and Nick DePhillips. The game was closed out with Hartford netting four consecutive scores, with Cacchio providing the last two.
Senior Scott Bement garnered the win inside of the cage, making 10 stops while allowing just two in. He was relieved by rookie Chris St. George in the final quarter who rejected three shots and allowed two in his first career appearance.
O'Rorke led Wagner with two goals while Mike Hurley also finished with two points on a pair of assists.
As a team, Hartford dominated in every statistical category. The home team outshot the Wagner, 53-27, thanks in part to a 19-1 second quarter margin. In addition, the Hawks collected 19 more ground balls than their opponents, finishing with a 39-20 advantage.
In the face-off circle, the Hawks scored a 17-of-29 advantage led by Schuldt's 15-for-29 effort. He finished with nine ground balls, a game-high and career-best.

Whitey Bulger Trial Kicks Off in Boston
He was escorted into the courtroom, a wrinkled old codger, with little indication that he once made grown men literally piss their pants in fear. His manner of walking is now more a shuffle than a strut. James "Whitey" Bulger, alleged criminal mastermind, mob boss, street hoodlum, longtime fugitive from the law, has finally arrived at his moment of reckoning at a defense table in courtroom #11 at the Moakley Federal Courthouse on the South Boston waterfront.
Just a few short miles from where Bulger once allegedly controlled the city's criminal underworld, opening statements were delivered today in the most explosive organized crime trial to ever take place in this city. Whitey stands accused in a 32-count indictment that alleges he ran a racketeering enterprise from 1975 to 1995 that was second-to-none in New England. Bookmaking, dope peddling, extortion, gun trafficking, money laundering, and at least 19 acts of murder are attributed to a man who has been characterized as a Machiavellian gangster and ruthless serial killer. Now, at age 83, stripped of his "street cred" and power, he is the Incredible Shrinking Man, a physically diminished former gangster with a bad heart and few friends or advocates beyond an imprisoned girlfriend and a defense attorney who, though highly capable, is in the position of Hans Brinker, the Little Dutch Boy with his finger in the dyke, facing a tidal wave of incriminating evidence.
The true manifestation of Bulger's powerlessness is the manner in which he is forced to sit mute, as Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian T. Kelly excoriates the former mob boss. Bulger was "a hands on killer," proclaims Kelly, delivering the government's opening statement in workmanlike fashion, focusing primarily on the unseemly details of the mobster's many alleged murders.
Bucky Barrett, a Southie criminal, ran afoul of Bulger when he sought to hide the lucrative proceeds of a jewelry heist. Said Kelly, "This man here, Bulger, shot him in the back of the head." Eddie Connors, a local hood, "couldn't keep his mouth shut," a prerequisite of anyone who did business with Bulger. Connors was lured to a phone booth, and then, said Kelly, "Death came calling in the form of this man over here" – he points at Whitey – "who riddled the phone booth with bullets." John McIntyre was suspected of being a rat, so Bulger first tried to strangle him with a rope that was too thick; McIntyre gagged but did not die. "You want one in the head?" Bulger allegedly asked. "Yes, please," said McIntyre. So Whitey shot him in the head.

PHOTO: Adam Levine's Fiancee shares photo of future hubby in his undies!
Listen to Maroon 5 on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - If you have ever looked at Adam Levine and wondered "boxers or briefs?" you now have your answer, courtesy of his fiancée.
The Maroon 5 frontman's bride-to-be, Behati Prinsloo, put a photo of the singer — in his undies — on blast Wednesday. And, gulp, she likened her future husband to a cheesy porn star!
"70's porn called," the Victoria's Secret model wrote, along with the Instagram pic. "It wants it's vibe back. Immediately."
And what a vibe! In the snapshot, "The Voice" mentor shows off his famously tattooed bod — and abs! — as he runs down a hallway in nothing but a pair of black, low-slung briefs and sunglasses.
We hope Levine opts for a little more coverage when they do tie the knot. The couple dished up one of the more surprising headlines of the summer when they announced in July that, after being broken up for several months and Levine having a new girlfriend, they were suddenly back together and engaged.
Prinsloo's Instagram pic comes as a bit of a surprise not only because Levine is nearly naked. The duo is actually pretty private when it comes to their relationship, and while she regularly posts photos on Instagram, they are typically of herself, not him.
Well, we respect her editorial judgement. This was a great one to share.

President Kevin Riley called the meeting to order at 11:02 a.m. Riley welcomed everyone to the meeting and introductions were made by those present. The Chapter approved the minutes of the November 5, 2011 meeting.
The Treasurer's Report showed a balance of $5,400.71 as of November 2011, dues and donations collected of $3,363.00, for a new balance of $8763.71. With the $88.00 expense for graduation honor cords for Sigma Beta Delta and $1,000.00 allocated to the Business Undergraduate Society, the November 2012 balance is $7,675.71.
The Business Undergraduate Society expressed thanks to alumni members supporting its trip to St. Louis. The group toured headquarters of Energizer, Brown Shoe Company and Anchor Advertising Agency.
Lindon Newberry presented the SIFE report. SIFE won at regional competition last year and qualified for national competition. With the criteria for competition having been changed over the last several years, CofO has decided to drop its association with SIFE (now known as Enactus). The SIFE team has been very successful for over twenty years. The Business Department faculty is exploring other student group organizations to provide additional opportunities for students.
The Sigma Beta Delta honor society had a need for fifteen honor chords in the amount of $135.00. The Alumni Chapter approved funding of this expense. The Alumni Chapter also approved a $1,000.00 donation of funds to the Business Undergraduate Society to support another trip next semester.
Officers for next year will be Katy Cameron, President, moving up from Vice-President, Jeff Shipley, Vice-President, moving up from Secretary/Treasurer, and Kevin Riley, Secretary/Treasurer, elected at this meeting.
President Riley encouraged membership in the Alumni Chapter and the current Chapter members discussed ways to increase membership numbers.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:27 a.m.

Rochette jumps on issue of faster ice
By KATHY RUMLESKI -- London Free Press
The ice at Palavela arena, where all of the Olympic competitions are held, has presented a challenge to Canadian Joannie Rochette.
She said the ice is faster than she is used to, making jumping tricky because she has been getting more air than normal.
"If you jump too high, it's hard to control the landing. You just need some time to adjust, said Rochette, whose competition starts Tuesday.
Rochette, 20, the two-time Canadian champion, will not do media interviews after today.
The native of Ile-Dupas, Que., is a strong technical skater, with triple-triple combinations in her repertoire.
When asked if strong jumping will be a key to winning the competition, Rochette said, "In the short program, definitely."
Russian Irina Slutskaya, pegged as the one to beat, has signature jumping. The reigning world champion has made history twice, landing a triple-Lutz-triple toe combination and and a triple-Lutz-triple loop in competitions.
"She's a strong competitor," Rochette said of Slutskaya. "I look up to her."
The Russians already have won the pairs gold and Evgeni Plushenko is poised to take the men's title tonight.
Rochette, who has been on an international podium this season, winning silver at Skate Canada, said it would be nice if another country won Olympic figure skating gold.
"That would be cool, but they're really good."
American Michelle Kwan's withdrawal last week because of a groin injury strikes a gold candidate off the list.
Compatriot Sasha Cohen is a two-time world silver medallist capable of winning gold, and Japan also has a couple medal hopes, including dark horse Miki Ando, who is the only woman to have landed a quad in competition.
Rochette, who came to Turin early because she wanted to participate in the opening ceremony, will not practise tomorrow.
"I made plans with the doctor about coming for the opening,"she said.
Her team also decided since she has been here for so long already, Rochette needs to rest.
"I need to keep my energy for what is to come," she said.
Rochette suffered a stress fracture in her landing leg in the 2002-03 season, but said the injury isn't causing her any problems now.
Rochette will be joined in the competition by teammate 16-year-old Mira Leung of Vancouver, who is in her second season on the national team.

Ship Weight:0.52 PawGanics Dish & Bowl Cleaner Tangerine 8.45 oz. (250 ml) PawGanics Dish & Bowl Cleaner Tangerine leaves your pets' dishes and bowls (and yours) squeaky clean and fresh safely. Made with natural, plant based ingredients that are non-toxic and biodegradable, this sustainable foaming formula leaves no chemical or gel residue behind. Most people don't think twice about the products they use to clean their countertops or scrub the bathtub, but the harsh reality is that they may be exposing themselves and their family, including their pets, to hazardous and toxic chemicals. Just like people, pets can become exposed to household chemicals that may contain harsh chemicals or leave behind toxic residue. Pets are particularly susceptible to toxic chemicals or harsh ingredients in household cleaning products. Everything in their environment eventually ends up in their mouths, and they eat, sleep and play on the floor, where cleaning products settle. In fact they could accidentally ingest the hazardous and toxic chemicals used to clean the home. The increase in the use of cleaners and other household chemicals in recent years has been linked to greater risk for a number of health conditions in both animals and people. These include irritations of the eyes and skin, respiratory disorders, and unfortunately, accidental poisoning. What you need to know: There are over 70,000 synthetic chemicals in commercial production On average, three new synthetics enter the market each day Due to trade-secret labeling laws, manufacturers are not required to list all their ingredients on product labels Chemical information is required by law only on products used in the workplace; it is not mandatory on the products used in homes According to the National Research Council, no information on potentially toxic ingredients is available for over 80% of the chemicals in everyday-use products Traces of chemicals can be found in every organ of the body within 26 seconds of exposure The statistics are scary, especially parents of children and pets. Happily the PawGanics team has worked hard to create products that are naturally non-toxic for a safe and clean home. PawGanics helps provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are creating a safe and clean environment for every member of your family. Kevin and Keith, PawGanics founding-fathers are compulsive, clean-freaks but also family and pet guys! They read other 'green' labels and thought, "Whoa. That's harsh!" Safe for the planet should include people and pets, right? So, PawGanics makes products that clean like crazy and are safe around babies and pets: earth safe, people safe, and picky mother-in-law safe. (And they really work!)

Rosie Huntington Whiteley Jets Back to West Coast

Making a sexy landing to the west coast, Rosie Huntington Whiteley arrived at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday (December 4).
The 25 year-old stunner made the terminal her runway as she trekked past the waiting shutterbugs in figure-hugging skinny jeans, a tan jacket and a pair of sunglasses.
In related news, tonight is finally the night where you can catch Rosie and her fellow VS friends strut down their infamous runway.
Joined by beauties including Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel, the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show will air this evening on CBS.

Mums and Bubs Excercise Classes
I have been recommended an exercise class by another new mum. Here is a link to the site: http://www.pregnancyandparenting.com...e_classes.html
classes are only $18 (when purchase 10 at a time). I've just booked in to start next week so I'll let you know how it goes. Classes are outdoors and if bubs are unsettled the instructor can show you ways of doing the exercise whilst settling bub.
6th March 2011 10:16 AM #2
Peta that sounds like a great class - I'd love to hear how you find it. Getting fit after having a baby offers challenges. It is great that they incorporate taking your baby along.

I found these exercise classes excellent
Julie Cunningham provides great motivation, technique supervision and alternatives for individual's needs. The entire class can be done baby-wearing and there is a good mix of fitness and strengthening exercises and from my experience there seems to be a pilates base. Classes are run outdoors whenever possible which keeps things interesting for bubs. I started when Caitlin was 4 months old and other mums have babes ranging in ages from 2 months to 2 years.

I love the idea of a mum/bub exercise class! I wish they offered more of them around where I live. It is such a great idea. I know that there are some videos out there that show you tips for incorporating exercise with baby at home. One example would be: The Perfect Postnatal Workout.
Here are some other tips for Exercising with your Baby!

My wife is now on her first time pregnancy on her 18 weeks, she is now feeling heavy on her tummy but she is just 35 kilos and 26 years of age. I wanted to know if she is now allowed to have exercise? Like walking or other exercise? And if she is allowed and if it is now needed, how often or how long she needs to do it and what type of exercise are allowed ?
19th July 2012 09:16 PM #6
Hi Shao,
35 kg is an extremely low weight for any woman which will make her BMI much below average. Because of your wife's low weight I would ask her to check with her doctor before exercising, particularly as I see (from your other post) your doctor has advised your wife to eat frequently in order to put on weight.
The usual pregnancy advice is to continue with the same level of exercise you were undertaking before pregnancy (with the exception of contact sports etc which would harm the baby). Pregnant women should still be able to talk through the exercise (rather than being extremely out of breath). But as your wife's weight is so low I would check with her healthcare provider what they recommend in this case.
Best wishes,

Hello Shao,
You have received some excellent advice from LJ.
It is, however, important that your wife be getting some form of exercise, just not rigorous exercise like you might get from an exercise class.
The exercise I'm referring to is things like walking every day and stretching.
When I was expecting my first child, I walked a lot at work. I was constantly walking up flights of stairs to deliver messages to the teachers or handling staffing needs. I didn't need any extra exercise.
If your wife sits a lot during the day then she will want to be sure that she's getting out twice a day for a 15 minute walk. If she get winded, then she needs to slow down. This can be a relaxing romantic walk, the two of you together, or it can be a faster pace walk. Whatever feels comfortable for her. The goal is to get the muscles working which will move fresh oxygen throughout her body and into the baby.
Stretching is really helpful as well, as her body will be doing a lot of stretching over the next few months. Just gentle stretches each day. Here's a little video to give you some ideas on how to stretch during pregnancy.
23rd July 2012 09:04 PM #8
Thanks for posting this video Kate - it's certainly easier to see how best to stretch in pregnancy rather than just have it described!

Hi Peta,
Your link didn't worked for me as I got 404 error while trying to check your shared link. I know things like this happens on entire web so I will be kind if you will check, fix and share the link again. Any reply will be of great help for those mums who are looking for exercise classes for themselves and for their bubs.

appear in 2 Broke Girls I knew I wanted to be able to see it so I made some
calls and the next thing you know my buddy who works kind of with the show
hooked me up. Well, in his typical fashion it was more of he says he hooked me
up, but you never know what you are actually going to get when you arrive, but
I knew I would at least get in. I might have to stand up and take off my shirt
and shake my belly for candy and to entertain the audience, but getting in was
gold. Or so I thought.
people on the list of the cast and crew to get in for the taping. Sometimes
there are no people on the list. Last night there were nearly 100. That is half
the available seats. Apparently someone had told someone and they called
someone who called someone who saw Ferris at 31 Flavors and the entire world
decided to descend on the Warner Brothers lot to see Lindsay Lohan. Hopefully
they were coming for the same reason as me – to watch an actual train wreck
that doesn't injure anyone. They obviously have not watched her act.
waiting to get in the show. They had got their tickets months in advance and
had no idea that the date they selected was all the date Lindsay had selected.
Almost one hundred percent of the time all of those people would be
accommodated but last night more than half had to go home without seeing the
show. I would have given up my spot if it had helped but I was just one person
and most of these people were in groups of three or four. Don't feel too bad
for them because there is a happy type ending for them later on in the recap.
You can probably scroll to the bottom if you are one of those people who can't
stand to wait.
preliminaries, which can be a good thing with this show. I went the first
season and got there around 4pm and didn't walk out until a little after 2.
This is season 3 though and towards the end and I heard they were getting out
most nights about 9. It is not Two And A Half Men fast which pre-records so
much stuff that they barely even say hi to their audience before getting you
out the door, but 9pm is early enough where I could get some drink time in
before sleeping.
is some kind of seat getting magician. It was all sleight of hand as you will
see. I literally sat down two minutes before taping began. The first scene involved
the entire regular cast and took place in the diner. One scene took about 15
minutes to shoot and that included a stop so they could move the cameras.
Everyone was flawless and since Jennifer Coolidge is only in two scenes of this
particular episode would like to point out how amazing she is and how gorgeous
she looked.
open because of her botox which also caused her to have trouble pronouncing
certain words. Of course she won't be able to pronounce anything if she keeps
smoking because her voice is rapidly disappearing into some type of screaming
smoking raspy hell hole. You know when you go to some type of event that
requires a lot of yelling or screaming and you can barely speak. Combine that
with a three pack a day habit and botox and see how well you do. There was a scene later on in the show that required Lindsay to say the words Hawaii and Bahamas in succession. She couldn't move her botoxed muscles enough to get that combination down without pausing between each. It sounded like someone who had injected with Novocaine an hour earlier.
want the writers to know that your words were very good for the script of this
episode. I also want you to know that myself and all of the other 199 members
of the audience are very familiar with every single one of Lindsay Lohan's
lines and can repeat them all verbatim to you because we heard them so many
times last night. There is not a member of the audience who couldn't do a
better job than Lindsay Lohan did last night.
but let me take you through Lindsay's first scene. Max and Caroline are selling
their cupcakes and a guy walks up and wants to buy a cupcake for his
girlfriend. His line of "My girlfriend wants a cupcake and she gets anything
she wants," brings in Lindsay who then says, "I want a house in the Hamptons
but I will settle for a cupcake." Yes, I know that line and the other lines. I
heard them and heard them and heard them. This first initial half of a full
scene had about five lines from Lindsay. It took about 45 minutes to shoot
because she never could get through without screwing up. She would get one line
and screw up another. There was some combination that she always managed to
find that she had not done previously.
scene, Roger, bless his heart decided to
announce Lindsay's presence to the audience and goaded almost everyone out of
their seats to give her a standing ovation. Yeah. Miss Liz and Dick herself. At
this point I think everyone was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Sure, they had four days to practice and rehearse, but it was five lines. Kat
Dennings and Beth Behrs had twice the lines and had to worry about timing and
still made the audience laugh every single time through. Despite having to
repeat the first part of the scene well over a dozen times they didn't slip
once. When you go to a taping and see those compared to Lindsay you realize
that Lindsay is never going to win an Academy Award and she is lucky to even be
working as an actress.
who wants a cake made by Max and Caroline. She can't decide what kind of cake
she wants. Her whole thing in the episode is indecision. What kind of cake to
have, what kind of dress to wear and whether she really wants to get married.
Let me take you through the entirety of what Lindsay has to say in this scene.
I don't have a copy of the script. I took no notes.
lets her in the back that she thinks the guy in the hair net got to second base
with her. Every time through she got this line right. Apparently she has a lot
of practice with this type of thing and it was natural to her. After that it
all went downhill. She walks into the room and uses the line adorbs. It is
annoying once. Imagine having to hear it five or six times because she couldn't
walk and get the line out of her mouth right. She then talks about how she used
to have a shop that sold dresses called Get The Frock Out and this translated
into other names of stores that were next to it. Not going to happen. Another
six times minimum to get through two lines. Once she finally gets that right she
has to choose what kind of cake she wants and because of her indecision has to
go through several options. "I want something traditional. Old school. No wait.
Now I'm thinking because you guys are so cool that I want something with a
Williamsburg vibe." To her credit she got that right most of the time. Kat had
an incredibly complicated response to it which she never screwed up and when
you watch it on the show will wonder how she didn't despite saying it a half
dozen times. Lindsay then turns to survey the back of the diner and says, "Now
I'm thinking pastels because it is spring. Now, I'm thinking black and white.
Is tribal still in? Now I'm thinking that you guys should just pick whatever
you want."
a lot of trouble stringing together the various permutations required and after
thirty minutes the lines were reduced and reduced until all was left was
basically the black and white line and do it yourself. There was no point in
trying to get it all right because it was not going to happen.
regular cast and they took about twenty minutes to go through two scenes. All
flawless. Once again it was time for
Lindsay, but off camera. All she had to do was read one line of script. READ
it. It took her three times to get it right.
was really down the totem pole and was relegated to the back row. No worries
though. I knew I would move again. And again. And again. See, after that first
wave of euphoria about getting to see Lindsay Lohan, that guest list of 100
people began to see that Lindsay was a train wreck but you only want to watch
so many collisions before you realize you have better things to do with your
life and they filed out en masse. About one-third at that point and because of
some seat shuffling I found myself in the second row in a perfect position to
watch more Lindsay meltdowns.
Courtney. You probably know her better as Flo from the Progressive commercials.
Minus her flaming red hair and using her acting skills she was stellar.
Seriously. Plus she got to call Lindsay a b**ch in the script which was lustily
followed by Max and Caroline in their characters. Or did they think? Anyway.
of cool people. Hey to the people from Austria. Thanks for those extra halves
of sandwiches you gave me. To the couple from Wisconsin, you were very lovely
but perhaps you should save the making out for your hotel room. To Miss California
2012, Leah Tibbits, thank you for letting me smell your cupcake and giving me candy when I
thought I would die from a lack of sugar. I'm very sorry about my size and
taking up half your chair, but you are very small and play the harp so you are
probably used to sharing space with 300 pound objects that are tough to move
and smell like bacon. OK, so perhaps your harp doesn't smell like bacon, but you were very nice and you do charity work with Wounded Warriors and married a former Marine and graduated from college and are going to get a Masters degree and I would much rather hang out with you and people like you than Lindsay Lohan. Next time I promise not to shove you to the ground when they pass out Rice Krispie Treats. Hope your knee feels better. I'm sure the swelling will go down by the end of the week.
wedding dress and has cold feet about the wedding. She has six or seven lines.
45 minutes later when the audience can see the finish line of this scene a cell
phone starts ringing. Loudly. "I'm sorry, that's mine. Hello. I have to call
you back." Yes, it was Lindsay's phone. One more time through the last part of
the scene. Ten more minutes gone from my life.
and they filmed it three times just to try and get different comedic bits in to
choose from. Kat Dennings is an amazing actress. I think that sometimes gets
lost because people keep staring at her breasts and don't focus on her acting.
some type of storm or an invasion of zombies. They could not leave fast enough.
Most of the rest of the invited guests bailed at this point and lots of the
audience too. I think the announcement that there was another scene involving
Lindsay pushed everyone to the edge. The people who run the distribution of
seats did amazing work at trying to make it look like the seats were filled. My
buddy Roger saw that he was losing everyone and started passing out candy at a
quicker pace and cupcakes that say Max and Caroline on them. He gave out money
and led group songs and the audience that stayed felt as if they were a part of
something. They had seen the worst the world could give them and one more scene
with Lindsay was not going to crush their spirit. On second thought we all
should have probably left. The last scene took forever to set up because it was
the wedding and there were 100 extras and cameras had to be re-positioned. Plus
it had Lindsay in it.
place. Nothing more. I would tell you the one line but it would be a spoiler. It
is about ten words long. Twenty minutes. Then another twenty because they had
to shoot the scene from different angles and she couldn't keep a straight face.
All she had to do was remain expressionless or vacant. You know, like those
dates she goes on. When the scene finally ended there was a pre-recorded scene
that was shot Monday with Lindsay. I can only imagine how long that took to
shoot and how many crew members didn't want to go back to work last night. Usually
there is a set up prior to a pre-recorded scene but they just played it and the
audience was thrilled to be leaving. The cast walked out for bows and no one
gave Lindsay much of a hand. She was featured third right after the guy who
played her boyfriend and Flo. Way down the pecking order and Flo should be
upset that Lindsay got better billing. One group photos was taken after and
then Lindsay disappeared fast while the rest of the cast hung out and took
photos with friends and did that whole SNL pat on the back and hugs thing you
18 minutes (4 minutes [pre-recorded). Three of those hours were for the few
scenes Lindsay had. When the final product airs next month people will see the
editing and Lindsay's best from those scenes and think to themselves that she
isn't that bad. The lines were well written and with as many shots as she had
at each one she was bound to get something that can be used. People will tune
into watch. The 200 people that sat through that taping though will know that
Lindsay didn't deserve to be on the show. They will know that every single
person who had lines on the show was at least ten times better than Lindsay and
in many cases a hundred times better.
Because of Lindsay they had to repeat them for hours. No matter what though
they always got laughs from their lines. Lindsay didn't. People were tired of
her. They wanted it to end. What I saw in Kat and Beth were two people who
respected the fact they have jobs that pay very well and may never be given a
second chance to make this kind of money or be on this kind of show. They knew
every line and where to be and what to say and how to act and they were
professional. Lindsay looked like someone who took her script with her while
she partied for a week straight and could show up and work it out while filming
the show. That attitude is why she doesn't work. She didn't take it seriously.
It was a paycheck. I hope she doesn't get many more.

Burning coolant?
1995 525i 160k miles
Okay, story time! Skip past for condensed version :) Two days ago I noticed a small amount of white smoke coming out of my exhaust while idling at normal operating temperature. When revved in neutral, a fair amount of white smoke came out the exhaust, maybe 4 feet back before it dispersed. Naturally, I was concerned. Thought it could be a lot of water vapor or maybe burning oil since my PCV valve breather hose was missing and leaking oil. Took it for a thirty minute ride and, viola, white smoke gone no matter if idling or revving at high RPMs. The next morning I took it for a compression test, and even though it was cold there was no smoke or water vapor coming from the tailpipe on the drive there, couldn't replicate the smoke to show the mechanic no matter what. Ran a compression test out of curiosity, 210 all across the board except cylinder 6 which was sitting between 200-205. Replaced breather hose, intake vacuum hose and ICV line while I was there. We decided white smoke must have just been condensation. On the drive home a bit of smoke started coming out but once the engine was at operating temp it was not noticable from the drivers seat so I didn't think anything of it. Fast forward to today, drove a bit and no smoke. It was cold today, no water vapor either. Clean as a whistle. After work, about 45 degrees F outside, and you guessed it, white smoke same as before. Decent bit when idling, big cloud when revved in neutral at operating temperature. Checked my coolant, and guess what? Lost a good amount in one day! I know its relative to individual resevoirs, but it went down two notches in about 20 miles of city driving est. about 2- 4 ounces? Me and my dad agree the exhaust smoke smells faintly sweet, like coolant. The radiator was replaced about 35k miles ago, no noticeable leaks. Oil not visibly contaminated, remaining coolant not visibly contaminated. Oil filler cap clean as can be, smells like oil.
SHORT VERSION: Sometimes a little white smoke, sometimes a decent bit, sometimes nothing. Loosing fair amount of coolant, exhaust smoke (when smoking) smells faintly like coolant. When not smoking, smells like exhaust. Compression test results: 210 210 210 210 210 202. New radiator, no evident leaks. No contaminated oil or coolant. No signs of blown head gasket/ cracked block besides white smoke smelling faintly like burning coolant.
CONCLUSION: Guess I'll get a pressure test on the radiator tomorrow, see if there's any leaks. Any ideas what could be going on here? :dunno: I've read sometimes a head gasket can be fractured but once the engine heats up, expansion causes the crack to close. Then overnight and at initial start up, coolant leaks until engine heats up. But even this doesn't explain why sometimes even at cold, exhaust won't smoke, and sometimes at normal temp exhaust will smoke?
Actually, my mistake. Cylinder ONE was at about 202.
Oh and I might add that there hasn't been even the slightest overheating problem. The needle steadily climbs to a hairline before the middle and sits there regardless of if I'm in stop and go traffic or on a straight road at moderately high revs ( 5000ish ). Heating and air conditioning work perfectly.
Is your coolant level dropping?
Best thing is to go to autozone or other and lend-a-tool the combustion leak test.
The fluid is cheap. Easy to use and it will tell if you have gasses in your coolant.
Which is the definition of a head gasket leak if I am not mistaken.
Yes, my coolant level is dropping. And I went to the local O'Reilly's and the guy looked at me like I was a space monkey when I asked if they had block testers. "You know, they check to see if you have hydrocarbons present in your radiator....little fluid, changes color?" Lol nothing, he almost acted like he didn't speak english. Freaking O'Reillys, if they weren't so close to my house I'd never shop there. I guess it'd be a good idea to head to autozone and do that before I pay for a pressure test on my radiator, cause I'm pretty sure there's no external leak. Thanks for the suggestion My525iT.
1. Do the pressure test anyway, but do not pay to pressure test your radiator. Purchase the kit from ebay...its roughly $40 shipped, which would be about the cost of getting it done professionally. You can keep it for life, its a good thing trust me.
2. I bet ebay has the block testing kit as well.
3. I suggest that you purchase a new rad cap and bleed screw even if the rad pressure test is successful...under $15 shipped in total. Its just insurance. You know, old car...
4. What is the colour of your coolant ? Does it have a good, strong smell (when you sniff the rad cap ) ? If it doesn't, please add cheap, strong smelling, brightly coloured coolant to your existing setup. I use 2 cans of coolant which cost $3.50 each. Being bright green, it is much easier to identify the source of leaks if they occur. Being strong smelling, if a hose should leak or burst especially while driving, the strong smell invades the cabin and alerts you to a problem up to 10 minutes before your engine actually begins to overheat. Remember the car buzzes when you leave the light on, but has no alarm when it is overheating. So this is a quick and dirty way to protect/alert yourself, especially if you do not intend to change all of your engine bay's coolant hoses to new ones. This is always recommended, the hoses themselves are not that expensive mayber $150 total for everything, but it is very troublesome job especially for the m50 engine.
5. Where are you coolant levels now ? How much are you losing daily ? Did you do any radiator flushes recently ? Did you change any hoses recently ? Often when this happens, air gets trapped in the system and is evacuated out to the expansion tank during driving, giving the impression that water levels are falling.
6. Keep monitoring your coolant levels daily until this is fixed or fully understood to be benign. Top up once it drops 2 marks below the cold level. Don't top up earlier.
7. I am sorry to post this and attempt to dominate this conversation even though I have owned fewer cars and am younger and more handsome than Snowy. :)
UPDATE: The coolant level from hell. When I first purchased the car, coolant level @ max line. A few days later, coolant level dropped to 2 notches below max line. A day later, coolant level dropped another 2 notches. Never added coolant, and posted this thread. All checks done at completely cold engine, for what it's worth. Few hours after I checked coolant level and discovered drastic drop, I check again. Engine slightly warm, and guess what? Coolant level shot back up to max line. WHAT THE EFF IS GOING ON?! I'm not insane, I've been checking at night and using a flashlight to illuminate coolant so I can tell precisely where it's at. I'm utterly confused...
And yes, it is strong smelling, bright green coolant. No external leaks noticeable, not a drop. Practically brand new radiator, I doubt the cap is leaking. I've looked at it while running at normal operating temperature, no gasses visible or heat shimmers coming from cap.
Will give it a shot. Think I'll get a block tester just for peace of mind. Thanks as always Roberto!
I have a 1989 535, Mine does the exact same thing. Burns coolant every third or fourth blue moon. I cannot replicate it. Does not over heat, does not mix fluids. I have even given up on checking coolant because it doesn't ever seem to go down. The coolant resevoir isn't gunked up either. The car runs fine. no misses, I have had this issue sense Ive had it(3k miles now) Its a head gasket going really slow. Mine is cylinder 6 with the issue. I have had my car to 100 many times been to 120 once. I don't know how to blow it lol
Theres only two ways to burn coolant, cracked head or a gasket.
I would say your safe to drive it until your ready to do it. But I would never put off a head gasket if I cared about the vehicle.
READ RADIAN'S WRITE UP ON HEAD GASKET. It is amazing very well documented, And honestly if you care about your care thats how it should be done.
Could it be possible to be burning fluid through a leaky intake manifold gasket? And if so, would this cause a positive reading on a block tester, anyone know?
These engines often need headgaskets somewhere beyond 150k miles. Yours is coming due, it is warning you.
I would never dump a bottled mechanic into a car I intended to keep.
If mechanics in a bottle actually work, and they do clearly work in many cases, then it is obvious that very sound chemical engineering is behind them. IOW this is technology. Hg leaks do not fix themselves even partially.
Which means you can and should use them in a car you intend to keep, where appropriate, and not doing so due to superstition is simply superstitous behaviour. Not all big problems in life need to have equally big and complex solutions to them.
UPDATE 2: Radiator shop down the street did a complimentary block check for me. Last night, smoke smelling like burnt coolant. This morning, no smoke, no smell. Fluid block tester was inconclusive, did not change color in the slightest. Test done at normal operating temp. Guess the next step will be to top the fluid off and keep an eye on everything. If it's a block issue, I'd rather ( obviously ) repair it sooner than later. But no way am I going to rip my engine apart if I'm not sure that's the problem. Any input?
Just to add to AMK's problem, I had a 91 525 M50 doing the same thing.
Same symptoms, AND overheating, froth under the oil cap and white smoke bellowing.
No oil contamination nor coolant contamination and 3 NON BMW mechanics telling me i
had a bad head gasket.
PITA for near 2 mos so I hardly used the car...
I called a buddy over. European car mechanic. Bled my system with the heater controls
on MAX DEFROST for reasons I can't fully explain and within an hour no more problems.
He told me when there's air in the system that HOT SPOTS can develop; areas where air
gets trapped and can burn off coolant, cause coolant loss and overheating.
His first and last advice... These cars are notorious for air in the cooling systems!
You have other problems in your car. Air in the block should have made it out to the rad's expansion tank through driving, if you had done normal bleeding to begin with. I would suggest that you change your thermostat and water pump (composite impellers only) if you have not done so recently.
You probably do not have a hg problem.
Yea, I'll order the pressure test I suppose. Also, what is bleeding the system? Never heard that term, same thing as flushing?
No not the same. Please read bentley search for it there and look on youtube.
If you response "You have other problems..." was in reply to MY post, you may
be assuming my problem persists. Bleeding solved the problem entirely!
Tyrant: I don't feel RBs post read that way.
It almost sounds as if you may have another issue like a bad fan clutch, wpump, tstat. Maybe the coolant is not circulating properly. These BMWs have there own way of running hot. Probably as Josh said you may be burning a tad of coolant at different times. My car has an OK head gasket but it drips on the outside and not through the internals. If you are losing coolant you may want to check the heater hose connections on the drivers side. 3 of them goes thru the engine bay to the foot well above the accelerator pedal behind the carpet/steering wheel. I am fixing one now - it sux because of the carpet.
Here is a link to help you understand and test your system. It is all in the Bentley but this is the best write-up I found to understand how the coolant circulates. http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/697674/
And NAPA also sells an additive you can add to coolant and use a blacklight to search for leaks.
I don't have the problem anymore... BLEEDING solved it.
My apologies if my post sounded like I was suggesting the
OP's problem was only bleeding. It was just MY personal experience.
Hi Tyrant,
From my experience, and I recently changed my radiator and was "losing" coolant for nearly 3 weeks, then for 1 week it was all cool, then I was "losing" coolant again, then it was all cool, then I've not lost more than an inch of coolant in 7 days.....I realise that a huge amount of air entered and stayed in the system during the rad change despite proper bleeding.
However, that huge amount of air slowly and eventually made its way out to the expansion tank. It has taken almost 1 month for that to happen.
My engine did not overheat at all due to this. I'm running without my fan clutch as well, and am just using my dual speed aux fan for primary cooling.
Your engine is the same as mine. It should not have overheated over this.
Air has a tendency to rise from the bottom of an engine to the top, more so for heated air. Air will be pushed around by fluid. Coolant is pushed around by the water pump, which pushes around the air, which eventually makes it out to the radiator and collects under the bleed screw etc. Water pressure is increased during driving, thus pushing water and trapped air around the system.
Many mechanics do not understand the nuances of our engines. Many enthusiasts understand the car far better than professional mechanics. This is the reason why more than one person has spent hundreds of dollars with mechanics and not solved problems, only to come to forums such as these and find the solutions, usually rather rapidly I might add.
Many mechanics misdiagnose the problem but solve it along the way while attending to something else. They are blind to what they have done in effect because well such is the power of their prior beliefs.
I understand that you feel that bleeding....sorry, BLEEDING....solved your problem. I am very sure that it did not. However, if I had not had this weird experience with my own radiator recently (which my mechanic confirms is typical when a new radiator is changed), I would have been tempted to agree with you. And, I might add, I changed my radiator when the engine was cold i.e. the thermostat should be nice and closed, which means no air should have entered the block from outside, and the cold bleed that I did should have sorted it out, and anything left over should have been settled by the hot bleeding I did later.
I was not there to see exactly what else your mechanic did that may have ended up fixing the problem. OR, the problem may have temporarily righted itself randomly. I know that is a unconvincing reason, but it has been known to happen. Coincidence is taken for correlation. I once had a thermostat stick open. I ran cold and normal for around one week. Then, it stayed normal for almost 8 months before this started happening again. Weird.
My original question to you remains unanswered. Did you recently change your thermostat ? Water pump ?

JOHN Kosmina has parted company with Adelaide United for the second time in his managerial career and this time it is unlikely there will be a third coming.
But in a surprising twist, news service AAP has reported Kosmina may have left Adelaide knowing there would be another job waiting for him next season - at Brisbane Roar. It's understood the coach had sounded out Brisbane officials about the prospects of a coaching job being available at the Roar next season prior to quitting.
The reigning champions, who appointed Mike Mulvey mid-season to replace sacked Rado Vidosic, are struggling this season and there are ongoing rumours of player discontent. A Roar spokesman said Mulvey had an iron-clad contract until the end of the season, and then his position would be reviewed.
Kosmina quit on Monday morning, citing a ''lack of trust'' in the way the Reds are being run.
Assistant coach Mike Valkanis has taken the reins at a club that now looks to be spiralling into a state of crisis.
Adelaide chairman Greg Griffin said that he was stunned by Kosmina's decision, which was sparked by Kosmina's concerns about his future with the club and his worries about its long-term strategic planning.
''That came as a complete surprise to me,'' Griffin said. ''The club was quite frankly amazed.''
Griffin said the board was due to meet on February 12 to discuss Kosmina's request for a two-year term on a higher salary.
''I literally have no idea what he's on about,'' Griffin said of the lack of trust or vision allegations. ''As far as we were concerned, we had a process in place, which he agreed with and took no issue with.''
Having just dealt with the fallout from its dismissal of former coach Rini Coolen, who picked up a payout of more than $700,000 for his termination with 3½ years of his contract left, Adelaide now has to clean up another mess.
It will, barring a spectacular post-Kosmina implosion, play finals football this season, but faces two difficult home games against Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory.
After answering Griffin's SOS call to step in as Coolen's replacement Kosmina brought some local pride back to the club and guided the team to the quarter-finals of last year's Asian Champions League and united was a pace-setter in the A-League this season.
The coach issued a lengthy statement on Monday morning spelling out his reasons for the decision. ''Before last weekend, we had been first or second in the league and were recognised as a good football team.
''However, apart from survival, I can see no clear direction. There is no vision. Decision-making at management level is reactive and impulsive at best, and there is no consistency in managerial procedure.
''There is far too much whispering in corridors and around corners … I simply cannot, and will not, work in an environment which otherwise lacks trust.''
Kosmina had helped set up Adelaide United nearly a decade ago. ''I was, and still am, proud of what was achieved, and the culture that was put in place in those early years.
''I was more than aware, upon accepting Griffin's offer, that many of those principles had been eroded over time. Fast-forward 10 months, and we come to this. Where I go from here I'm not sure. I'll see which way the wind is blowing. I was digging in the back garden when Griffin rang me a year ago - now I have some time to go back and finish it off.''
Kosmina's first spell in charge at Hindmarsh ended in controversy after he had guided the club to the A-League grand final in 2007.
With captain Ross Aloisi sent off early in the game the Reds' discipline broke down and they were crushed 6-0 by Melbourne Victory in the showpiece game. Kosmina subsequently had a short spell in charge at Sydney FC before returning to his Adelaide home.

The surfing world lost an icon in Michael Peterson. The following piece appeared in the August 2009 issue of SURFER as part of The 50 Greatest SURFER's of All Time. MP finished 16th on the list. The author, Sean Doherty, was also MP's biographer (MP: The Life of Michael Peterson).-Ed
Michael Peterson still sports the very same pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses he wore during the '70s. They're a bit beat up these days, the frame held together by sticky tape, but they still work just fine. For MP, the leather jackets, jeans, and panama hats may have been all about fashion, but the sunglasses were pure function. They formed a reflective barrier against the outside world. Behind them he couldn't be read. Behind them he could plot the downfall of the guys he was surfing against, size up the chick across the room, scope out a dealer for a bag of exotic candy. Behind Michael Peterson's glasses spun several worlds, some real, some imagined, one occasionally bleeding into the other.
Five years after Nat Young was christened "The Animal," a gangly, scruffy kid from Coolangatta came along who made Nat look like a koala bear by comparison. Aloof, awkward, and monosyllabic on land, Michael Peterson was transformed upon immersion into saltwater. His surfing was frenetic and savage, a personal blitzkrieg on the idyllic green walls running down into Rainbow Bay.
Growing up during the golden age of Kirra, Peterson, along with sparring partners Rabbit Bartholomew and Peter Townend, explored the innermost limits of tube-riding. MP had shaped the rocker apex back into the middle of his boards, a simple yet beautiful idea—front foot meant go, back foot, stop. And if any potential interloper dared even look at one of the King Of Kirra's waves he'd be warned off by a shrill whistle from inside the cavernous chamber. Pathologically shy, MP would later attribute his love of being inside the barrel to the fact that no one could see him in there.
While America had Dora, Australia had MP. No Australian surfer embodied the zeitgeist of the '70s better than he did, and the fact that he revolutionized both surfing and surfboards along the way almost became lost behind the supernatural aura he generated. He was a walking totem with a loyal following of disciples, but loathed the limelight his surfing powers generated.
For the three years between '73 and '75 Peterson burned white hot, winning every professional contest in Australia. His success was a blend of obscene talent and rat cunning. This domination, however, never made it off Australian soil. So used to being top dog in the water and hassling accordingly, a left hook to the jaw in Hawaii quickly took the wind from his sails. And despite being one of the first guys to surf Backdoor ("the Hawaiians wouldn't let me go left"), he never really shone on surfing's biggest stage.
By '76 the wheels were falling off. Loaded to the eyeballs on a smorgasbord of opiates and hallucinogens, he'd be occasionally sighted at the Bamboo Flute restaurant in Coolangatta devouring avocado ice cream. His appearances in the lineup, meanwhile, were dwindling, and he'd even shaved off his trademark mustache. Living in the shadows, his behavior was spiking far beyond simple eccentricity, and it was clear something was going on with the guy. Most assumed it was his ravenous drug intake… but they were only partly right.
Michael Peterson was poison to the new, clean-cut professional regime that was taking over surfing. This was symbolized poetically when he pulled into the Sunset Beach car park so close to a car containing the "Bronzed Aussies" that they couldn't open the door. He wound down the window, toked violently on a joint, cocked his head, and dead smoked the unsuspecting trio in matching T-shirts.
MP still had one last fight in him though. The 1977 Stubbies at Burleigh saw the introduction of man-on-man surfing, although the five grand prizemoney was the real carrot. After smoking a pre-final scoob in the car park, MP paddled out in front of 20,000 people on Burleigh headland and dusted a young Mark Richards. He took the five grand and disappeared.
Michael Peterson loved Pink Floyd, and would soon go the same way as Syd Barrett. The voices were speaking to him by this stage. The cocktail of chemicals in his brain, both naturally occurring and supplemented from the street, were fuelling a cacophony inside his head. MP was a textbook schizophrenic years before medical science knew what a schizophrenic was.
His descent was equally spectacular and tragic. While sleeping in his car on the side of the highway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane, he was woken by police sirens heading the other way and panicked. He sped off, quickly. A hundred miles and 35 police cars later he was eventually stopped on the Storey Bridge in Brisbane, telling the arresting officer he'd successfully outrun the aliens.
Jailed, then institutionalized, MP was eventually diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, medicated, and placed in the care of his mother, Joan. He stopped surfing altogether. For the next 20 years surfing saw little of him, as he was busy hiding from open sky. A daily handful of prescription drugs quieted the voices but also saw his weight balloon, and a daily walk down the road to sit under his favorite mango tree was about as adventurous as he got. But the longer he stayed out of the spotlight, the more his legend grew.
In the past five years he has made tentative steps back into the surfing fold. Mingling with his heyday peers during the annual Gold Coast World Tour contest, Peterson offers flashes of that same razor-sharp mind that brought them undone all those years ago. Occasionally, even the sunglasses come off, his eyes darting back and forth nervously, hinting at vulnerability he'd always kept hidden.
"Take him out of his generation, put him anywhere, he was the whole act," says Rabbit Bartholomew. "But he was more than the whole act, he was too much. It couldn't last." Michael's disease may have lit a fire under his surfing, but it also meant it would only burn for a few brief years.

MARBELLA, Spain -- Hans Rosenzweig, a pioneer in the German amusement machine industry, died here on March 21. He was 78.
Rosenzweig was best known as managing director of Germany's Nova Apparate, part of the Gauselmann Group. The company was Europe's main importer of amusement machines, including Williams and Bally pinballs, in the 1970s and '80s, and enjoyed success during the videogame boom years.
According to Intergame, a trade magazine, Rosenzweig was born in 1934 in Kulmach, Bavaria, and began his career in the games industry in 1962 as a journalist with Sigert-Verlag (Braunschweig), which is now Automaten-Markt.
Rosenzweig was involved in Euromat, the federation of European coin machine trade associations, and represented Germany on its board for many years. He served as Euromat's vice-president and later honorary president, Intergame noted.
He is survived by his wife Ute, a son and two daughters. He had lived in retirement in Spain since 1998.

Indigo Girls
Spotlight show • Classical music meets folk rock when this Georgia-based duo performs with the Utah Symphony. Keith Lockhart, Utah Symphony music director from 1998 to 2009, will conduct the concert. He also will lead the orchestra's sold-out Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers concert Friday. Lockhart has been in Park City all week rehearsing for both shows and has enjoyed "being back in my old haunt," he said in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune. Lockhart said he worked with Martin when he appeared with the Boston Pops. But it will be the conductor's first encounter with the Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. The duo, whose last studio project was 2011's "Beauty Queen Sister," are best remembered for their environmental activism as well as classic folk rock songs such as "Closer to Fine" and "Galileo." Ray also is a supporter of local radio station KRCL, which she immortalized in her solo song "SLC Radio."

Adam Ant & The Good, The Mad & The Lovely Posse
Spotlight show • British pop icon Adam Ant is on his largest North American tour in 18 years, touring behind his new and uniquely titled album, "Adam Ant Is The Blueblack Hussar Is Marrying The Gunnar's Daughter." In a phone interview, the 58-year-old said the album released on his Blueblack Hussar label contains 17 autobiographical songs and nearly 70 minutes of material. It's something he never would have been able to do on a major label. Ant promised a long night of music that will include six songs off the new collection, as well as the hits that helped him sell 40 million records, such as "Goody Two Shoes," "Stand and Deliver," "Wonderful" and "Room at the Top." "It's like I've run a marathon every night," said the musician, who once had eight singles in the Top 40 in one week. Some of the more revealing songs include "Cool Zombie," which details how Ant bought a house in Tennessee, got married and conceived his daughter; and "Who's a Goofy Bunny, Then?," a tribute to his former manager Malcolm McLaren.

Kenny Loggins and Blue Sky Riders
Spotlight show • Music produced by the Blue Sky Riders the trio of Kenny Loggins, Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr crosses genres. The group's first album, "Finally Home," was released in January and includes "I'm a Rider," which has a country twang; "Dream," with a pop flavor; and "How's That Workin' For Ya?," containing blues swing. All the songs feature flawless three-part harmonies and soulful lyrics. During a recent interview with The Salt Lake Tribune, Loggins and Middleman said the band was conceived in 2008 when Loggins worked with Burr on his solo album "How About Now." A couple of years later, Loggins had two dozen song ideas in a notebook and a note to "Save for Gary" written in the margins. He called Burr suggesting they form a band that also included a female voice. Burr suggested Middleman. When the three sat down to write "I Get It," the Blue Sky Riders were born. The trio performed at Sundance earlier this year, but will return to Red Butte Garden as part of its summer tour. Loggins joked that his favorite thing about Utah is the girls making Middleman laugh. "That's your favorite part of every town," she said. Of course, the mountains are Loggins' real Utah love. As for Middleman, she remembers Utah as the state that introduced her to Uggs.

We've all heard the jokes about messenger bags, specifically those that involve nicknaming them "man purses." But regardless of their checkered past, messenger bags are back – and if you can get imprinted messenger bags, that's even better. Having your company or organization's name printed on custom messenger bags means that no one will ever think your bag is a "purse." Instead, it will be likened unto a trendy briefcase – something masculine, utilitarian and professional.
Bags like these can also be promotional messenger bags when they are used by the staff of an organization. If you are an employer, it may be worth the effort to budget for distributing them to your entire staff (or at least employees who interact with prospects and clients, such as the sales team). If anyone on staff goes out of town regularly, it's a no-brainer; they need personalized messenger bags to use as travel bags! No matter where they are on your corporate totem pole, if you find out that they are frequent fliers – well, you need to get them imprinted messenger bags to use as their carry-ons. It just might be instrumental in helping your brand get recognized nationally!
Durable and well-constructed, our custom messenger bags can double as laptop carriers, book bags, or mobile file cabinets (figuratively, of course). Some people may just wish to use them for carrying receipts, so that when it comes time to do taxes or generate expense reports, all the records necessary are in one convenient bag they've carried with them all year. But even if they are not going to function as promotional messenger bags, these items should still be customized with a personal logo and text. After all, you never know who will see them!
Order your personalized messenger bags now, or browse through our great selection and take your time finding the right one. There is sure to be one that is a good fit for everyone on staff.

Periodic Table Building Blocks: These 20 toy blocks contain the entire periodic table– every known element in the universe. Pretty deep, right?
Tipping Tea Cup: Tipping back and forth to brew your tea, this cup sure has some poetic rhythm.
Stump Ring: Is there anything more symbolic than your true love's initials carved into the trunk of a tree?
Recycled Glass Owl Night Light: Our night owl's eyes seem to gaze right into your soul.
The Rules
Here's an example that Marisa wrote for our soup & sandwich tray:
"I love you, Grilled Cheese"
"And I you, Tomato Soup"
-Doomed never to touch
Ok, go. We can't wait to see your creative poetry!


text: It's' probably just me, but it seems like the surf always improves when the sun goes down . Are there any spots out there that have enough lighting to do night surfing? What would it take to get some stadium lighting in our favorite surf spots? Perhaps if enough of us get together on this we can make something happen.
