I just got the 3 30th anniversary vehicles today at TRU in Saint John, NB. They're all pretty sharp lookin' out of the package. I was sorta hesitant about getting them but I'm glad I did.
Picked up one the comic packs (Han/Chewie) from a local shop today (Second Spin). Bosskman they have Tarkin & Vader if you are interested.
I'm passing on them Brandon, but Second Spin Rules. I got my MOTU 30" Skeletor Statue there, as well as some Vintage MOTU figures. Just waiting for the OT Tin sets to show up at TRU .....
I went to second spin and picked up the Unleashed Kashyyk Chewie. They also had the Target exclusive shuttle but I had the FAO one so I passed as they're pretty much identical.
Yeah, I seen them both on several occassions (the wife works next door at Citi-Financial) while waiting for the wife to get off work. I have a birthday coming up soon & hopefully I can con her into another Shuttle (have the Vintage one) so I can complete my Endor Diorama when the time comes, I still need a few scout walkers to go along with this as well.
The Han & Chewie 2 Pack is pretty good, Han in S.A. Storm Trooper Armor was enough to suck me in & they did look pretty good when they were carded. The others are O.K. but I have enough Vaders & Tarkins as it is, if the Rebel Trooper had been a new sculpt I would have been sold on that one as well. I can't wait to see the second wave (hopefully they are nice) & to get Vos finally will be sweet.
If you are out & about & spot any Marvel Legends like X-Men Rogue/Iron Man Series 8 (new Avengers) or S.W. like Appo / Camm Scouts or new droids LMK please as this should cap off 2006 for me. I'll do the same for you.
No problem.
Just got my email from that Snowtroopers sponsor (you know, the one that starts with "L" and ends with "egends") advising me my wave 9 figures will be shipped right away. Can't wait to see them! Anyone else going this route? What are peoples' plans for the wave 10 (WalMart) figures?
I went this route for wave 9. I haven't gotten the "it's been shipped" email yet....
I'm hoping that my US friends will bail me out on the Walmart wave....
I came across Wave 9 today at a local comic shop. $9.99 on US cards. Picked up Appo (which looks like a ROTS #41 sculpt with pauldron - no visor), the Kashyyk trooper and the Engineer. I've got the full set coming from Leg4ends too - but I didn't want to miss out on the clones at all....

Florida, South Carolina, Texas A&M and Ole Miss … you've made Austin Bryant's top 10. He's a four-star defensive end out of talent-hotbed Thomasville (Ga.), which is actually quite a bit closer to Tallahassee (Fla.) and Florida State than it is Athens (Ga.). And for the record, the Bulldogs didn't make the cut.
Bryant is 6-foot-5, 245 pounds and has seen a flurry of activity from SEC schools in the past few months. The Aggies and Gamecocks were the two most recent programs to offer scholarships. The other schools to make the cut were the Seminoles, Clemson, Stanford, UCLA, Notre Dame and Penn State.

TPM News
Paul Ryan Challenger Admits He Used Medical Marijuana
Kaleka and his family sought therapy for their grief after the shooting, in which six people were shot by a white supremacist, who later died in a shootout with police.
A therapist in California, where medical marijuana is legal, recommended Kaleka use the drug because it's natural and less addictive than other pharmaceutical drugs. But medicinal marijuana isn't legal in Wisconsin, so Kaleka's mother could only use prescription drugs that he said made her zone out.
"I think it's disappointing that people who might really need it, someone who's gone through a tragedy like that, doesn't have access to that option," Kaleka, 35, said at his Racine headquarters.
Kaleka said he resisted seeking treatment for his grief for about four months. But when he returned to Tarzana, Calif., to prepare to move back to the Milwaukee area, he felt vulnerable without the rest of his Wisconsin support group.
His therapist recommended medical pot. Kaleka was intrigued, and figured he'd heard enough good things about its medical benefits that he'd give it a try. It would be the first time he ingested marijuana since the time he ate a pizza that he'd laced with marijuana as a junior in college, as part of what he said was a spiritual ritual of self-discovery. Kaleka graduated in 2001 from Marquette University in Milwaukee with a dual degree in psychology and philosophy.
Smoking medicinal marijuana left his throat raw and scratchy. He tried a range of medically laced products — brownies, cookies, chips, popcorn — before settling on lollipops, whose dosages were easier to control. He'd have one or two a week, and found they helped him regain his appetite and eliminate suicidal thoughts that had begun popping up.
Kaleka's father, Satwant Singh Kaleka, was among six worshippers killed in August 2012 when white supremacist Wade Michael Page walked into the Sikh temple in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek and opened fire. Five others were injured, including a police officer who was shot in the throat and suffered permanent voice damage. The FBI investigated for months before concluding that Page's motivation may never be known.
Kaleka said that if elected, he'd work to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes at first, and later for recreational use. But Kaleka also said his more immediate concerns would be strengthening gun laws, working for fair pay and fair education and focusing congressional efforts on actual problems rather than on politically manufactured conflicts.
A message left with the Ryan campaign for reaction to Kaleka's comments was not immediately returned Friday.
Rob Zerban, the other Democrat vying with Kaleka for the right to challenge Ryan, said in an email he supports decriminalizing marijuana so people aren't imprisoned for carrying small amounts.

Help Us Celebrate 'National Hug Your Cat Day' and You Can Win Barnum Bash Tickets
If you frequent this website often, you know about Bruce Mikells and his infatuation with crazy cat videos. So it was no surprise that he is all about today's big celebration — National Hug Your Cat Day!
A day this big cannot go uncelebrated. (Is that even a word?) Instead of just more cat videos, we've decided to do a fun little contest.
If you're a cat lover and owner, we know you have pics of you and your cat. Well, we'd like to see some of them. Better yet, if you could get us a picture of you actually hugging your cat, that would be E.P.I.C.
Up for grabs will be a family four-pack of tickets to see Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey's Barnum Bash at the Cajundome on Thursday, June 21st. We will announce the winner on Tuesday's edition of the Bruce & the Kennel Club show.

Published Editorial
Competencies can mark out performers
The Economic Times
NS Rajan
Partner & Global Leader
People and Organization
Our understanding of what leads to successful performance at work has evolved over time. In ancient Athens, the heart of Greek democracy, eloquence was regarded as measure of success. Psychologist Alfred Binet, when asked by the French Government in early 1900s to identify students most likely to experience difficulty at school, devised the first intelligence test which became a basis for the IQ measure that is in vogue today.
Interestingly, the study of the genome unravelled how our instinct, intelligence and personality are hugely influenced by our heritage. Deep within the marvelous world of the 23 chromosomes that comprise the human genome, some are responsible for the imprint that they uniquely leave behind; chromosome number 6 for intelligence, 7 for instinct and 11 for personality. What is inherited also tends to endure and perhaps remain less amenable to change.
Human potential is a complex composite of instinct, intelligence, personality, knowledge, skills, motivation, attitude and behaviours. We are continually shaped by our genetic inheritance, family, friends, peers, education, and our work as well as life experiences.
The pioneering work of research by the Harvard Psychological Clinic in the 1930s, summarised in 'Explorations in Personality', was the beginning of future studies of personality. Later researchers proposed the Big 5 factors of personality, widely used in assessments, comprising extroversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience. Most personality tests have been questioned for validity, and observed to be discriminatory and too broad in scope, whereas the areas of job performance are fairly narrow and specific.
Around 40 summers ago, a breakthrough article by Harvard University professor David C McClelland titled, 'Testing for Competence Rather than for Intelligence', published in American Psychologist in 1973, questioned the merit of relying on intelligence alone as a predictor of job success.
Adecade after the discovery of McClelland, his colleague Professor Richard Boyatzis advanced our understanding of competencies in his book 'The Competent Manager: A model for effective performance, 1982.' Competencies, an underlying characteristic of an individual comprising 'knowledge, skills, and attitude,' are describable and measurable, and separate superior performers from the average. Corporations have since embraced competence as a cornerstone in their attempt to define employee potential and to enhance future performance more predictably by investing in them.
Organisations too, like an individual, have a DNA of their own with a persona and bedrock of vision, values and culture that differentiate them. Employees, as individuals, reflect the collective calibre of what an organisation hopes to achieve. Competencies provide the basis for investing in them when set in an organisational context. The scientific process of competency modeling, measurement and deployment pave the way for continually enhancing collective capability. Competencies have gained currency since they are valid tender and convertible; a modern day alchemy, perhaps.

Robert Taylor
Robert Taylor was born Spangler Arlington Brugh on the 5th August 1911 in
Filley, Nebraska, USA. He was the son of a Nebraska doctor...(scroll down).
As a high schooler, Taylor participated on the track team, won oratory awards, and played the cello (his first love) in the school band. Attending Pomona College to study music, Taylor became involved in student theatricals, where his uncommonly good looks assured him leading roles.
Spotted by an MGM talent scout, the 23-year-old Taylor was signed to a contract with that studio -- though his first film, Handy Andy (1934), would be a loanout to Fox. Taylor was given an extended, publicly distributed "screen test" when he starred in the MGM Crime Does Not Pay short, playing a handsome gangster who tries to avoid arrest by purposely disfiguring his face with acid.
It was another loanout, to Universal for Magnificent Obsession (1935), that truly put Taylor in the matinee-idol category.
Too "pretty" to be taken seriously by the critics, Taylor had to endure some humiliating reviews during his first years in films; even when delivering a perfectly acceptable performance as Armand in Camille (1936), Taylor was damned with faint praise, reviewers commenting on how "surprised" they were that he could act. Nobody liked Taylor but his public and his coworkers, who were impressed by his cooperation and his willingness to give 110 percent of himself and his time on the set.
Though never a great actor, Taylor was capable of being a very good one, as even a casual glance at Johnny Eager (1942) and Bataan (1942) will confirm.
Taylor's contributions to the war effort included service as an Air Force flight instructor and his narration of the 1944 documentary The Fighting Lady.
His film career went intp eclipse during the 1950s, Taylor starred for three years in the popular weekly police series Robert Taylor's Detectives (1959-1962); and when his friend, Ronald Reagan, opted for a full-time political career in 1965, Taylor succeeded Reagan as host/narrator of the Western anthology Death Valley Days.
Robert Taylor was married twice, to actresses Barbara Stanwyck (they remained good friends long after the divorce) and Ursula Theiss with whom he had two children.
He died of lung cancer on the 8th June 1969 in
Santa Monica, California, USA.

[Update 1/1: That's it, folks. This giveaway is now closed.]
It's been a fun couple of weeks during DT's 'Better than Socks' Holiday Giveaways, but all good things must come to an end. We thought we'd go out with a bang by giving away a freakin' quadrocopter! That's right; get excited. Our friends at Firebox have graciously offered to give one lucky winner his or her very own Micro Drone Quadrocopter (a value of $112).
Featuring four rotors and "automatic gyro control," the Micro Drone is able to pull off sharp turns and 360-degree flips in midair. The quadrocopter has a flight range of close to 400 feet, and is just slightly larger than the palm of your hand. It also comes with a compact remote control with a digital display. The Micro Drone runs on four AA rechargeable batteries, and a full recharge takes about 40 minutes, which is a small price to pay for some sweet, sweet quadrocopter action.
Don't believe that the Micro Drome is as awesome as we're making it out to be? Check out the video from Firebox and see for yourself.
Interested in winning a Micro Drone? Just tell us your favorite toy from holidays past in the comments below by December 31, and we'll choose a winner on New Year's Day. No entries submitted in 2013 will be considered, so good luck!
There's still time to enter some of our recent giveaways, so check out DT's Better Than Socks Holiday Giveaway page for more cool gadgets.

LOUDON, N.H. -- Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are close off the track. On Sunday, they got too close on it.
When Patrick checked up on a late restart she turned sideways and got into the back of her boyfriend and fellow Sprint Cup rookie at the track known as "The Magic Mile." Stenhouse then shot up the track and took out Travis Kvapil.
"We were all bunched up on those restarts," Patrick said. "I'm not sure if I misjudged the braking zone or if they stopped really quick in front of me. It felt like they stopped really quick. I tried to stop myself to keep from getting in the back of anyone, but I got sideways when I tried to do that.
"Unfortunately, I took people with me."
Stenhouse finished 34th with Patrick three spots back in 37th.
It was the second time this season Patrick and Stenhouse, who announced they were dating before the season, were involved in a wreck. The other time was at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in late May.
"I'm really sorry," Patrick said. "At the end of the day it was me that started it, so I'm really sorry."

If you could it would be easy to use one system memory buffer, access it with easy read/write and then use glCopyBufferSubData (ARB_copy_buffer) to move it over to a vram buffer. That would pretty much ensure that the DMA copy engine would be used and no CPU/GPU cycles would be wasted.
Why don't you try and share with us the findings. Catch for a few seconds what happens on your system when the transfer is active, and analyze with GPUView.
What I can confirm is that Fermi really has three hardware queues, and some actions are done in parallel (other queues are used for Desktop Window Manager in the cases I saw).

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
John Quincy Adams
"Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Steve Jobs
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
Mary Anne Radmacher
"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you."
Winnie the Pooh
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
Mahatma Gandhi
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
Dr. Seuss

Brockport Blog's Readers Choice Awards Survey Closes Wed.
Click here to take the 2011 Brockport Blog's Readers Choice Awards!
Wows! I'm thrilled with the response my 2011 Brockport Blog's Readers Choice Awards survey is getting!
When I first signed up for the survey site I was on the fence about paying or not.
The site is free for 50 unique responses to a survey or less, but charges a fee for more than 50 unique responses.
I am so glad I set my expectations high – because (as usual!) you guys have met them!
I am going to close the survey this Wednesday October 26, 2011 midnight and announced the results on Friday (Friday is Midnight Madness in the Village of Brockport!)
So, if you haven't voted yet, c'mon over here. Some of the categories – especially BEST PIZZA and BEST PLACE TO DINE – are just a handful of votes apart.
Again, the motivation for the survey was to celebrate the Brockport Blog's First Birthday, increase my reader interaction, and give some positive PR to our awesome village merchants during a time they are facing obstacles due to village construction.

It was a kiss born of thunderstorms and the wild loneliness of the night. It was hot, fierce, and needy.
He looked up at her from where he bent over the spigot. That devilish lock of hair fell across his forehead and her breath caught. Even after their argument, even after the brittle fear of the morning, she was still attracted to him. It was entirely unfair that he was so handsome.She wished he weren't so beautiful.No, she amended. She loved that he was beautiful. She wished he weren't her enemy. That he wasn't always so determined to ruin her life.
It distressed him seeing her so upset. And his distress over her distress distressed him even more. Which made no sense being that she continued to lie to him, even knowing what he had at stake.She was a devil of a confusing woman.
"You will run.""I don't know." She was honest. "Trent knows the truth, understands why the Midnight Rider did what he did. It is his decision what happens next. I am not going to stay and help your brother find my br—my friend. There is nothing left for me here.""There is love."Mazie shook her head. She took her stance and pulled back on her bowstring. "No matter what happens, we will hurt each other terribly/""Does it work, running away?" Cat's voice was marked by concern and frustration. "Is that why Forster has been gone so many years?"

A man accused of causing a Feb. 10 traffic accident that resulted in the deaths of two Otsego High School students entered pleas in the case Monday.
Glenn Walbolt, 56, of Grand Rapids, Ohio, changed his plea from not guilty to no contest on two of four counts of aggravated vehicular homicide stemming from the crash, which occurred on State Rt. 578 near U.S. 24. He was found guilty on the two charges. The other two counts are expected to be dropped at sentencing.
The revised pleas were made Monday before Judge James Bates of Lucas County Common Pleas Court, who set an Aug. 11 sentencing date.
The judge has the option of sentencing Mr. Walbolt to the maximum penalty of 16 years in prison, plus $30,000 in fines.
Authorities have said he lost control of his car on Grand Rapids Road and struck a utility pole while drunk.
David Todd, 18, and Jacob Polen, 17, both of Grand Rapids, were partially thrown from the vehicle, which Mr. Walbolt was driving north on State Rt. 578, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol.

"On Our Way Rejoicing"
... floods and devastation. A lot has happened while we've been away but we have been proud of the way our state has rebounded and are moving forward.
We're excited to be getting home tomorrow. We've been very fortunate through all our travels and have enjoyed sharing our adventures with our friends and family. We're glad I wrote the blog because it's already hard to remember some of the names of places we've been!
The adventure begins
... the 25th year of the German reunification (1989). They were expecting thousands of people in Frankfurt and we actually ( on Saturday night) watched the major event on the TV. Dinner was at a very small local eatery where we had pork and potatoes ( of course) and wine. We sat at long wooden table with benches..family style. A neighborhood German place full of locals and fun to experience. We returned "home" and settled down for the night.
Las Vegas of Tennessee
Oh my, what a shock! But let me begin at the beginning When we left Chattanooga, we high tailed it for the Cherohala Skyway. Weather report had suggested there would be bad weather in the afternoon so we tried to beat the weather. Unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way and we didn't get up onto the Skyway before the rain - lots of it came through. What a bummer. We couldn't see the scenery at all and riding ninths driving rain ...
Knoxville Open Golf Tournament Great For The City
... hot and humid for the competitors. The best way to watch the action from the 18th green is from the air conditioned hospitality tents. The top sponsors this year who had those available were the News-Sentinel, Copper Cellar, and Fleming's Steakhouse, where yours truly hung out with my old childhood friends Ken Canada and Chuck Cavalaris on Championship Sunday. Their food was stupendous, including shrimp, lobster, crab claws, and prime rib.

Camino here I come!!!
... don't worry you have a few more hours before you need to start packing!). I'll end by THANKING God for the many good and few bad blessings in my life (they have all made me who I am)......for family and friends who love and encourage me..... for grace and mercy given to me everyday......and for the "God Wink" of the Camino!!!
Please keep us in your prayers for a safe journey.

text: Senate Votes To End Filibuster Of Hagel's Nomination As Defense Secretary 2/26/2013 2:19 PM ET After nearly two weeks of delay, the Senate voted Tuesday to end debate on former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel's nomination as Secretary of Defense.The Senate voted 71 to 27 to move forward with Hagel's nomination, all but ensuring his confirmation in a vote expected to be held later in the day. Earlier this month, the Senate fell short of the 60 votes needed to end debate on Hagel's nomination, with Republicans largely voting to filibuster the nomination of their former colleague.In the latest vote, 18 Republicans joined with 51 Democrats and the Senate's two Independents in voting to end the filibuster.With the vote to end debate on the nomination, Hagel will only need a simple majority to be confirmed as the successor to outgoing Pentagon chief Leon Panetta. All of the Senate Democrats are expected to vote in favor of his confirmation.The confirmation vote may show a wider than usual partisan divide, however, as some Republicans have been highly critical of some of Hagel's past comments regarding Iran and Israel.Hagel, who served in the Senate as a Republican, also angered some of his fellow party members due to his opposition to the Iraq war.The Republican filibuster of Hagel's nomination also came as some GOP lawmakers demanded additional information from the Obama administration regarding the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.However, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., questioned what his Republican colleagues gained with the filibuster, arguing that the delay was politically-motivated."Senate Republicans have delayed for the better part of two weeks for one reason and one reason only: partisanship," Reid said in remarks on the Senate floor before the vote. He added, "At a time when our nation faces threats abroad, the President's nominee for Secretary of Defense deserves a fair and constructive confirmation process."While the vote to end the filibuster clears the way for Hagel's confirmation, some political analysts have questioned whether the fight over his nomination could limit his effectiveness as Defense Secretary. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News DNC Day 3: Dems Attack Trump Weekday At Bernie's: Sanders Supporters Disrupt DNC in Philly Republican Convention: Waiting For Trump...Wait, He's Already Here...Again

It's Mr. Pants Game Boy Advance
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
With the same sort of instant appeal and practically infinite replayability of Tetris, it joins the pantheon of puzzle gods and goes down as another GBA must-buy - so long as the lack of multiplayer doesn't irk you.
Maddeningly addictive.
Although the strange graphics and sounds of this game seem to have been grafted onto your average puzzle game, the result is quite pleasing.
A simple concept that works on many levels, and Rare takes this idea as far as it can with a deep and addictive GBA presentation that's as challenging as it is wacky.
Game InformerAn addictive and oddly likeable revisitation of the genre's heyday. [Jan 2005, p.148]
Cheat Code CentralObviously It's Mr. Pants has terrible graphics, but they really add character to the game.
If you actually manage to track down a copy of this game, know that your effort was really worth it since It's Mr. Pants is one of the best puzzle games you'll find on the GBA.
Seriously though, if you can track down a copy of It's Mr. Pants buy it immediately. It's not that it's the greatest puzzle game on the market, but it's pretty damn addictive, and it makes you think in ways that games such as Tetris and Lumines don't.
None of the puzzle modes are individually at the pinnacle of the genre, however, and the trial-and-error-based gameplay might only appeal to enthusiasts.
AceGamezGreat in short bursts and solving the main puzzles can be a real blast, however the game fails to deliver any serious replay value once you complete them and setting high scores will eventually become dull and tedious.
There's nothing cripplingly wrong with It's Mr Pants - far from it. But it's basically a simple case of the sum of its parts not reaching its true potential.
Nintendo PowerThe puzzles are incredibly easy at first, but they grow in complexity at a good clip. It's odd, tricky and funny. [Jan 2005, p.140]
Mr. Pants the character deserves to star in more than just a puzzle game. He's a goofy, charming product of British humor, so we fully expect a Mr. Pants platform game or (even better) RPG in the near future. Please?
It's Mr. Pants is a puzzle game that doesn't entertain because it requires far too much effort to just get into the groove of it.
Play MagazineMildly addictive yet limited fun. [Nov 2004, p.90]
Many players will quickly fall in love with the line-drawn artwork that's used in the menus and backgrounds, as well as the barnyard sound clips that are the game's sound effects, but, beyond those aspects, It's Mr. Pants is merely an average puzzler with a limited array of features.
Cleverest when at its most minimal, It's Mr Pants is a little too convoluted and coy a brain-tease, destined to live in the shadow of purer designs. [March 2005, p.93]

HIGHLIGHTS-Top trading houses at commodities conference
LAUSANNE, March 29 Top executives from the world's largest commodity trading houses discuss trends in trading at the FT Commodities Global Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland, this week.
SYDNEY Australia's Billabong International Ltd (BBG.AX) on Tuesday said it would conclude a refinancing deal within weeks as its annual net loss more than tripled and sales of its surf and streetware continued to decline in key markets including the United States.
The company is considering two refinancing offers, one led by U.S. private equity firm Altamont Capital Partners and another from U.S. hedge funds Oaktree Capital Management OAKCP.UL and Centerbridge Partners.
"We are within weeks of finalizing our long-term funding arrangements," chairman Ian Pollard said in a statement, without mentioning which party's offer was the preferred option.
Billabong posted a net loss after tax of A$859.5 million ($777.80 million) for the year ended June 30, including significant items such as impairment charges on brands and goodwill. That compared with a net loss of A$275.6 million a year ago.
Adjusted net profit, excluding one-off items, fell to A$7.7 million, from A$33.5 million a year ago. That was below average analysts' forecasts of A$10.8 million, according to Thomson Reuters Starmine data.
Sales continued to slide in the Americas, Billabong's biggest market, following the closure of a number of underperforming stores, the company said. Store closures and weak consumer sentiment hit sales in Australia, while heavy discounting impacted revenue in Europe.
Struggling to pay off debts left over from an ill-timed expansion as its brands fell out of favor, Billabong has issued a series of profit warnings since rejecting a A$850 million bid from private equity firm TPG Capital Management in February 2012.
Billabong's shares dropped 4.4 percent to A$0.54 by 0006 GMT, against a 0.2 percent slip in the broader market. It hit a record low of A$0.12 in June and traded above A$14 in 2007.

Two Henderson brothers face up to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty Thursday to growing, then trying to sell more than 100 marijuana plants.
Eric Medlin, 28, and Raymond Medlin, 31, entered their guilty pleas before U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro. She scheduled their sentencing for Nov. 29.
According to the U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden's office, a search warrant was served on March 29 at 1941 Ramrod Ave., Suite 100, in Henderson after a citizen complained about a possible marijuana-growing operation. Discovered in its confines were 50 pot plants with growing equipment, according to federal court documents.
The brothers also owned and operated Organic Releaf, a medical marijuana dispensary at 8545 S. Eastern Ave. in Las Vegas.
Two years ago in September, a federal search warrant was executed there and roughly 2 kilograms were discovered, including medical varieties such as "White Rhino," "White Widow," "Purple Wreck and "Sour Diesel," federal officials said.
The brothers, however, were not arrested at the time, although their mother, Caroline Dellevalle and co-defendant, Chad Uhl, were convicted of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana, officials said.
In the March raid, the brothers did not have a valid medical marijuana card or a pending application.
By Nevada law, it is illegal to sell medical marijuana unless the sale is designed to help patients who are in need of it. But if sellers claim to be primary caregivers, then they must "consistently assume responsibility for the housing, health or safety" of their patients, as is required by Nevada law.
Usually when this is the case, the owners of dispensaries buy the medical marijuana from third party sources, they don't actually grow it.

Jewish World Review June 2, 2010 / 20 Sivan 5770 Disgracing America By Mona Charen
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | The effort to destroy the Jewish state has many fronts. One front is in Iran, where the maniacal regime that has repeatedly promised to "wipe Israel off the map" marches inexorably toward a nuclear bomb. Another is in Gaza, from which Hamas has lobbed 10,000 missiles into Israeli cities. Yet another front, the most insidious, is comprised of the propaganda arm of the Palestinian movement. And this front thrives for only one reason — the complicity of the world press and the so-called "international community." It was the propaganda arm that staged the "Freedom Flotilla." But there have been many previous productions: The propaganda arm was responsible for the photo-shopped images of damage to Lebanon during the 2006 war, the staged "death" of 12-year-old Muhammad Al Durrah, the "massacre" at Jenin, and the "war crimes" in Gaza. In each and every case, the "news" of Israeli atrocities was broadcast far and wide by organizations like Reuters, AP, CNN, and AFP. The United Nations has offered its imprimatur to every libel. The truth seemed always to have a case of laryngitis. Today, in the wake of the confrontation between Israeli soldiers and the provocateurs aboard the Gaza flotilla, the remarkably incurious world press is providing exactly the sort of headlines on which the organizers knew they could count. "Flotilla Attack Is Israel's Kent State" screamed the Huffington Post. Agence France Presse carried a banner quoting the Turkish foreign minister to the effect that "Israel has lost all legitimacy." Every news outlet I checked docilely described the flotilla as "humanitarian." Don't members of the press ever resent being so used? Fact: Israel imposed a blockade of Gaza to prevent weapons from reaching the radical Islamic regime there that continues to make war on Israeli civilians. Egypt, too, has blockaded the strip, hoping to choke off weapons to Hamas, which it views as a threat.
Fact: Humanitarian relief is delivered to Gaza from Israel on a daily basis. During the first three months of this year, 94,500 tons of supplies were transferred to Gaza from Israel, including 48,000 tons of food products; 40,000 tons of wheat; 2,760 tons of rice; 1,987 tons of clothes and footwear; and 553 tons of milk powder and baby food for the strip's 1.5 million inhabitants. Representatives of international aid groups and the United Nations move freely to and from the Gaza Strip. Fact: Upon learning of the intentions of the Gaza flotilla, the Israeli government asked the organizers to deliver their humanitarian aid first to an Israeli port where it would be inspected (for weapons) before being forwarded to Gaza. The organizers refused. "There are two possible happy endings" a Muslim activist on board explained, "either we will reach Gaza or we will achieve martyrdom." Fact: The flotilla ignored multiple instructions from Israeli navy ships to change course and follow them to the Israeli port of Ashdod. Fact: On board one of the ships, according to Al-Jazeera, the "humanitarian" Palestinians sang "Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews, the army of Muhammad will return" — a reference to the 628 massacre of Jews in Arabia at the hands of Muhammad. Fact: The flotilla's participants included the IHH, a "humanitarian relief fund" based in Turkey that has close ties to Hamas and to global jihadi groups in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Chechnya and elsewhere, and which has also organized relief to anti-U.S. Islamic radicals in Fallujah, Iraq. A French intelligence report suggests that IHH has provided documents to terrorists, permitting them to pose as relief workers. Among the other cheerleaders — former British MP and Saddam Hussein pal George Galloway, all- purpose America and Israel hater Noam Chomsky, and John Ging, head of UNRWA, the U.N.'s agency for Palestinian support. Fact: When the family of Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier who was kidnapped during a cross border raid by Hamas in 2006, offered to support the flotilla if they would agree to ask Hamas to permit international agencies to visit their son, they were rebuffed. Fact: When Israeli commandos rappelled down ropes to the deck of the Mavi Marmara, they were assaulted and beaten with metal poles and baseball bats by the Palestinians on board. (It's available on theisraelproject.org). Some commentators sympathetic to Israel complain that the Israelis were late getting their explanation of events to the press. That's probably true, but almost irrelevant. There is a jerking of knees around the world whenever and wherever Israel is forced to defend herself. This eagerness to repeat the Palestinian version of events, to assume the very worst about Israel, and to ignore the history of blatant and outrageous lies by Israel's enemies — amounts to joining them.

wanting to replace tweeters
(might be a newbie question) .... I have an 2012 overland and want to replace the tweeters up front and possibly replace the rear overhead speakers with tweeters/crossovers to add a little more treble on top of the overly powerful bass... should the doors pop right off with a trim stick and a little brute force and pop right back in? I am very familiar with taking on and off toyota door panels if anyone else is and if so is it kind of similar?
Re: wanting to replace tweeters
If you have "overly powerful bass", you better check your EQ settings. Your the first I've heard of complaining of too much bass. The Bass/Treble/Mid can easily be adjusted via the built-in EQ. You can easily replace the center 3.5" dash speaker, and obtain much clearer highs. That's what I started with. The OE speakers just suck, and sound muddy. They have gotten worse in 2 years. My '09 Aspen Alpine system sounded better. It didn't have the sub, and only had 276W. I looked at those Alpine mids, and they were pretty beefy for OE.
Re: wanting to replace tweeters
I replaced the tweeters in mine as part of a completed audio overhaul. Swapped out the stock OEMs for 1" Alpine's.
You have to take the whole door panel off. Once that's done you can remove the window trim where the tweeter resides. |
Re: wanting to replace tweeters
Yes the door panels will pop off with a little force. There are approx 15 christmas tree type chips that hold the door on, plus the bolt and screw in the door handle, and the screw in the small coin pocket. You can check rage's or my page, bc we have posted on this already w/ pics. i have taken all the doors apart and its easy when you know exactly where to apply force. The tweeters are the only thing i have not changed yet. If you have any questions ill try to help where i can.

Isn't a 7,000 seat arena rather small especially for a World Championship? I can remember attending SOI & COI in Spokane several years ago & the place would be packed. I believe it is a 10,000 seat arena. Did Skate Canada make money for organizing 2013 Worlds?
Well, it would cease to exist as a spectator sport. As long as skaters are willing to pay money to take lessons, practice, enter competitions, etc., it will continue to exist as a participant sport. Maybe on the level of most other Winter Olympic sports.
It holds just over 9,000 for hockey and skating events. It always irritates me to see that some of the best seats are held for corporate sponsors, federations, ISU, etc., and they sit empty most of the time. I know it's the way of things but it's a waste IMO.
That's probably the direction figure skating is going. And ISU has already sensed that's coming and has accepted it. I, for one, believe that figure skating won't ever die. As long as there are organized competitions, there will be participants.
Is it true that $peedy requested a 2 year extension of his current term because he cannot run for the next term due to his age?
Peter Murray @blazingblades says: Post-Worlds unfortunate fact: Cinquanta to remain in office thru Summer of 2016. And there's an article from 2012 explaining: http://www.examiner.com/article/international-skating-union-now-officially-a-dictatorship
Every single sport tries extremely hard (or at least should try) to become very popular withe the audiences because this means more media coverage, followers, publicity, money, power, influence. It would be unbelievable stupid for figure skating, which does have the goods to be an extremely popular sport, to take the approach you suggest!
I'm genuinely interested in knowing how you think the political manuevering or cheating in the judging takes place now? Under 6.0 there were simply two marks, that really meant nothing since they were simply used to place the skater in the order that the judge felt they should be so scrutiny of the mark wasn't really useful except in comparison to that own judges marks. It was fairly simple to rank skaters in a pre agreed order (if there was colusion or politcal pressure). I just don't understand how, even getting a majority of judges together they could even begin to agree how to manipulate the system these days - in a free skating programme you have what 13 tehcnical elements that a man must complete. With the GOE of those elements needing to be in line with what the skater does on the ice and gets called. If the fall on every jump, you're not going to be able to give positive GOEs and anything higher than -3 or -2 for that would raise suspicions and likely get you into trouble after the event. The PCS are probably more likely to be open to maniupulation but they're not going to swing it all the way - the technical would still be important and need to go a certain way. I just don't understand how the judges could come up with a way to mess with the system in any way near as easy a way as 6.0 was. Does that mean I think COP is untouchable? Aboslutely not, there are flaws that need fixing, but it has to be much more difficult to cheat/collude using COP than under 6.0.
I agree antmanb- I really think there is still bias, and well reputed skaters get the benefit of the doubt, but I just don't see blatant cheating when I look at the protocols. Especially in events where day a dance team wins by like half a point- and it is obviously politicking. Um- I just don't think judges are good enough at math, or that well organized, for that to happen.
You do not need superior maths skills to realize how much easier is to cheat now. Under 6.0 the judges had only two scores which they could manipulate, but now the possibilities are countless. There are between 9 and 13 elements in a LP, each of them being awarded a certain GOE. With the exception of the cases when a skater falls or makes a blatant mistake, the judges can actually give any GOE they want since the criteria is ambiguous enough to allow them to justify almost anything. 13 elements mean 13 possibilities of influencing GOE. And this is not the only opportunity when it comes to GOE. Since the range of GOE varies between -3 and + 3, again here theres plenty of room to manoeuvre. For an OK-ish done element that maybe deserved 0 GOE it is not hard for a judge to justify that he actually thought it deserved + 1 or maybe + 2. Then of course we have the components where a 0.25 0.5 points more than deserved wouldnt raise any question marks. Now the only question remains on how to make several judges to favour the same skater. I think that this is where the power and influence of a federation comes into play . Like Nietzsche used to say: All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
Under 6.0, a judge could place skaters in whatever order they wanted on their own card, regardless of the quality of the skating. To avoid being tagged as incompetent or biased, even if the judge was trying to manipulate the results, it was best to keep their rankings at least close to what the judge thought the skaters really deserved and to be able to justify their decisions afterward. They couldn't control whether their rankings would end up in the majority, unless they were part of a bloc. Working alone, they just added one vote in the direction they wanted, which could end up being a deciding vote in close contests. If several judges made deals in advance and worked together to bring about a specific result, they had a much higher chance of succeeding. With IJS, judges can give GOEs and PCS to favor the skaters they want to win and to hold down the skaters they want to have finish lower. They can't control the base marks that the skaters earn by what they actually do and how the tech panel calls it. They don't even know what levels the tech panel calls, although they could make a good guess if they want to try to keep track of the features in addition to their own judging tasks. They also don't have time to add up the scores for each element and component precisely, although they can make rough estimates. If one judge wants to manipulate the results, s/he can systematically give the favored skater(s) slightly higher scores than s/he thinks they really deserve, and can systematically give slightly lower scores to the expected rivals. They can't use numbers that are too far above or below the rest of the panel, though, because if their scores are consistently dropped in the trimming of high and low they will not have much effect and will also get flagged as out of line. But if they're consistently on the high end of the legitimate range for the favored skater and consistently on the low end for the rivals, even if their scores are trimmed that means some other judge's high and low scores, respectively, will not get trimmed and will count. Essentially a judge on a 9-judge panel can force GOEs up or down by about 1/7 of a point per element, and components up or down maybe a 1/7 of a point but probably a little less (doubled in the freeskate) for each component. So if they do this systematically it can add up to several points and can decide a close contest. If two or more judges work together to manipulate scores in a coordinated manner, they can be even more effective. If the skater they want to favor just doesn't deliver the technical elements at all, they can't force a win. But they can nudge that skater to finish higher than the performance objectively deserves. The best way to force an undeserved win would be for two members of the technical panel to collude always to give skater A the benefit of the doubt on all level features and jump rotation questions, and always rule against the rival skater on all borderline calls -- especially anything that would allow them to throw out a whole element for the rival, should the skater provide such a questionable element. But that's the tech panel, not the judging panel. Judges and one or two tech panel members working together could be extremely effective. That would be a major conspiracy. No reason to believe such an effect has ever existed. However, in either system, if we see a close contest and believe that, in theory, judges may have been being dishonestly favoring one of the skaters, it's still hard to know from the outside whether judges in favor of skater A succeeded in boosting A's placement even though if they'd judged honestly skater B would have come out ahead, or whether a different set of judges might have been trying to boost skater B and didn't quite succeed. Clearly, if you think skater B was better you would believe that the judges who gave higher scores to A were wrong and more likely to be cheating. But since the nature of the sport invites legitimate differences of opinion, there's no way of knowing from the scores alone whether skater A's supporters were acting dishonestly or whether they just honestly disagreed with your opinion. If there's recorded evidence of judges making deals in advance, etc., that's a different story.
Yes, but empty seats aren't the same thing as unsold seats. From what I was told by a volunteer, all seats were sold for the FS events - but I too could see that not all seats were occupied. Who knows what the reasons for that were: could be corporate giveaways that recipients didn't use, scalpers who didn't manage to resell their tickets, people who didn't make it to the arena because of lousy weather or other travel interruptions, choosy fans who only wanted to see the last group or two of skaters, and/or many more possible reasons.
I was there too. It was sold out. The sections above the judges (and thus in camera range) were reserved for ISU and VIPS as usual. They are always only partially filled and those people come and go according to their schedules and what else is happening behind the scenes at the competition (sponsor receptions, presentations, meetings, etc). There were a couple of sections in the top bowl reserved for the athletes and coaches, and they also come and go. There was a section in the top bowl reserved for the media who also come and go. So in a 7000 seat arena it may have looked as though a lot of seats were empty but that was not the case in the sellable seats. There were some of those empty during the weekday daytime when the local people must have been at work. But other than that, it was packed and LOUD. The concourse was very crowded. The atmosphere was amazing!
The fault with this system is just too simple: falls are not penalized like falls. For any lay viewer the only thing that matters is if a skater falls or not. URs can not easily be perceived, nor is skating skill. Popping is bad but aesthetically it's still better than a fall. Two-footing is bad but it is a step up than a fall, meaning you can at least save it. I'm quite sure that if a fall is a 5 points bonus deduction (only almost equal to popping a quad to a triple), no one would ever complain again. Some will say then no one would try for a quad anymore, but it's not as if people only fall on quads, and this has something to do with other disciplines as well. I love Caro, but she had two falls. She should have placed under Murakami, so as Patrick under Ten and S/S under D/R. For me, as a long time gymnastics fan, it's always amazing to see skaters fall and get back up thinking they still have a shot to win. It doesn't happen in any other discipline I can think of.
100% agree with you, analia. Falls are not penalized enough; and clean performances are not rewarded enough. They (ISU) should start from here.
I disagree here. I watched US nationals with 6 people who are totally non-skating fans (mostly men...) They were watching because it was my birthday party and I insisted we get to watch! They all could tell that pops were a huge mistake. When a skater fell on a difficult jump and did that roll over get back up as if nothing happened (not a US skater but Brezina often does this- it is almost as if he never fell) they were still really impressed with the jump. Possibly because they are used to basketball players falling all the time in games? There was a lot of "how did they get up so fast?" I feel like it would be too subjective to be realistic, but I feel like the penalty for falling should be greater if you take longer to stand back up. With the tech panel, maybe they can slo-mo and actually set a time for it? Because I really do think it is better to do a full rotated quad and fall, than pop a quad to a double and land. Pops look ridiculous.
Or that part of the penalty -- taking off for the amount of disruption to the flow of the program, in addition to the GOE reductions and fall deduction -- could be written into GOE guidelines. It's still going to be subjective because "how disruptive was it?" is not really quantifiable. And different falls that have body parts in addition to blades touching the ice for the same amount of time might vary based on how well the skater stays in the character of the program while down on the ice and how well s/he maintains body alignment on the way down and the way up. Counting the seconds won't give a straight linear correlation with the degree of disruption. Also sometimes skaters stumble around for a couple of seconds trying not to fall and succeed in keeping anything but the blades off the ice. That can be more disruptive, but it wouldn't get a fall deduction. Still, judges should have the discretion to penalize it in PCS, and GOE when applicable, if they find it disrupts the performance of the program.
Falls result in a 1.00 deduction in addition to a minus 3 from the judges and if in the Short Program it is a missed element. What numerical deduction would like to see?
One that wouldn't allow to win if your fall/falls are an obvious disruption of the program. This will probably lead to a certain degree of precaution in the performance; but I'll happily take that instead of a fall. l
Serious questions .. not snarks .. just want to understand where you're coming from: - you would rather see a male skater do the jumps they're most comfortable with, e.g., 3T or 3L, even if they're not as difficult so they won't fall vs pushing themselves and the sport further and trying the more difficult jumps with the possibility of a fall? - what if everyone falls in one of their programs, short or long? How do you determine the degree of fall and the degree of disruption to the program to then determine a winner?
Speaking only for myself . . . I don't want to see rules that forbid a win just because the program contains a fall or two. And sometimes the undisputed best skater falls. Sometimes everybody falls. But I do think it would be appropriate to penalize falls more, and especially to penalize programs with many falls more heavily. I think the problem at the highest levels is that a 1.0 deduction is not significant compared to all the other areas in which the top skaters are able to earn points. So I'd like to see *larger negative GOEs for quads and triple axels, so that -3 would take away at least 50% of the base value *fall deductions as a percentage of total segment score rather than a flat 1.0 for all disciplines, all levels, all competition phases *increased penalties for a second, third, etc., fall in the same program *explicit guidelines to judges encouraging them to lower P/E and other component scores for falls and stumbles, and encouraging them raise P/E scores for clean programs with all positive GOE All that would make it less likely for messy programs with multiple falls to win competitions. But sometimes they still would, because a skater who falls a couple times is just that much better than everybody else.
General terms, such as reflected in this post, do not address the deductions that should be automatic and not up an official's individual interpretation. The current deductions are automatic. If this is a real problem? then hard numbers should be requested through your Federation and sent to the ISU Technical Committees.
Many of the deductions people are requesting will bring us back to the Vancouver Olympics- where playing it safe won. If you lose 50% or more in a fall, skaters will not be doing quads.
Was it ever announced why Cinquanta wasn't at worlds? Did he know something we didn't? lol And while I am talking about Cinquanta, there should be term limits for the presidents of the federations and the ISU: Two olympic cycles at the most.
Well I'd rather see a skater win with no quad than win with a quad and multiple falls. The quad isn't everything. Besides I don't think the answer is giving skaters points for Quad Falls, I think the answer to encouraging clean quads by giving more points to clean quads. .. In fact I think its highly unfair that a person who landed a clean quad only gets about a four point advantage over someone who fell on the quad. And I'm not saying in the sense increasing the quads base value.For example, they could easily start giving rewards for hard combos (ie quad combos). I'd also support a rule that says a skater can repeat two triples, and one type of Quad. So a skater can do a Quad toe, Quad toe, triple axel, triple axel, and triple lutz, triple lutz. If they do their combos right a really nice way to build up some points..... Its not really appropriate when a skater is still getting 6 points for a quad fall.. I can handle somebody winning one fall, but I think multiple falls, stumbles etc are a real problem...PCS aren't affected to.. I really do agree about it being way more appropriate to make a percentage system.
Yes it was announced. He was at the Sochi Olympic site for an Olympic Committee site meeting. That is why the Figure Skating First Vice President, David Dore represented the ISU at Worlds. If anyone wishes to install term limits, following is how you go about it. Make the proposal to the Federation, to which you belong. Get it apporved at that level, then convince your Federation to present the term limit proposal at the next ISU Congress.
IOW, term limits in figure skating is unlikely to ever happen. Can you explain why Mr. Cinquanta has been able to maintain such a stranglehold on the seat of power for so long??? The management of speed skating and figure skating should be separated. They are distinct and separate sports and should not be lumped together, with revenue from figure skating supporting speed skating. But the status quo will likely continue especially after the strategically ill-planned revolt against the ISU was so effectively quashed in 2003.
That wasn't very respectful of them. They have known well in advance the date of worlds and should have scheduled so he could have attended what for him should have been one of the most important events of the year.

Fit For Life: Is Your Fitness Program Making You Unfit?
Saturday, September 28, 2013
Stop doing something over and over and not seeing results. Losing body fat and gaining muscle while becoming leaner and stronger should be the goal. If you are working out and this isn't happening, it's time to make a change. Time is too valuable to waste and exercise is too difficult to be doing for no results, or not the intended results. If this sounds like where you are in your fitness routine, here are a couple of alternatives to what you are doing which should put you on the road to success.
You put too much of a strangle hold on your nutrition, and pay too much attention to calorie counting. My first and most important advice goes to food quality. Get rid of processed cheap food, and eat quality whole, organic foods.
Because if you focus on counting calories, you end up eating low quality, heavily processed fat free products, like fat free mayo, fat free yogurt and other processed fat free dairy products, use low fat butter and oil substitutes, and packaged meats, and reduced calorie beverages. You also sacrifice healthy fats by eating egg whites and low fat peanut butter.
Instead, purchase quality organic whole foods, eat yolks and full fat butter and dairy products (if you need to eat dairy). This type of food is absorbed nutritionally by the body and gets properly utilized and digested, and you will feel more satisfied when you eat less. Remember your body needs fat and nutrients to function effectively and efficiently, build muscle, and fight disease and sickness, so don't deprive yourself of nutrients.
Once you master the role of quality eating, now you can eliminate certain things and portion your foods accordingly. Usually by this time you will already have lost some weight and will look and feel better.
Overtraining, in general, results in a negative outcome in several ways. I see a lot of people spending hours a day exercising on elliptical machines and recumbent bikes and they do not get the results they are looking for. On the contrary, these people usually get flabbier, due to the fact they are burning muscle - not building it. Training for longer amounts of time with little intensity nets you poor results. My suggestion would be to cut down on the cardio time and up the intensity level. Hit it harder and shorter. I would rather see someone doing intervals on the treadmill, taking a spin class, or doing a step mill for 30minutes over walking for an hour on the phone, or watching TV on a stationary bike any day.
The myth about lifting
Many women worry about getting too big from lifting weights. This is the main reason they neglect strength training. I feel the number one most important part of any exercise program is strength work. For those who work with me, after going through body weight movements, and a client is stable and moves well, everyone I train from 15 to 87 year olds, does strength training. Not only does this make you look better and move more effectively, it also revs up your metabolism to make your body burn more calories at rest. The higher your muscle to fat ratio is, the more efficient you become at torching that unwanted body fat. It has also been shown that after a bout of resistance training, you burn calories longer than if you did a session of cardio.
A prescription for success
In this day and age, especially where there is big money to be made selling fitness tapes, equipment, and expensive memberships and classes, things are getting blown out of proportion as to what it takes to get in shape. Much of what is new is over done and quite extreme. "Insanity"-type programs, px90, crossfits, and beat down workouts, are in my opinion a little too much for most people that are lured into what sounds like a quick fix. Everything is extreme to a point that if you don't vomit or get sore for days you are not successful. I believe exercise should be looked at like medication: too much = overdose. Too little = ineffective. Prescribe just the right dose and you will get the results you need.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — She just walked away.
The parents of a missing Indiana University student sat in stunned silence in December when a lawyer uttered those words in an Indiana courtroom in defense of a young man they hold partly responsible for their daughter's disappearance.
That moment that continues to haunt the Edgemont, N.Y., couple — Lauren Spierer's pre-dawn disappearance on June 3, 2011 — was characterized by the attorney as almost a whim.
"There are only two facts: A young woman got pretty intoxicated and she just walked away, and they can't make that into something it's not," lawyer Greg Garrison told the judge, arguing, successfully, that his client Mike Beth be dismissed as a defendant in Robert and Charlene Spierer's wrongful death lawsuit. "She just walked away."
"It was said with an arrogance and a certainty that was very troubling to us," Robert Spierer told The (Westchester County, N.Y.) Journal News during a recent interview in White Plains, N.Y.
STORY: Judge denies missing coed's parents' plea to seal data
STORY: Men sued by missing coed's parents want data public
"I just have that tattoed on my brain; 'She just walked away, she just walked away,' " said Charlene Spierer, disdainfully parroting the lawyer. "He was very flippant about it. I just wanted to say, 'Just prove that she just walked away.' "
The Spierers, who will mark the third anniversary since their daughter's disappearance Tuesday, continue to suspect Beth and two friends had something to do with it, and that the 20-year-old Indiana University student may never have left their townhouse complex alive after she arrived there, unsteady and with bruising to her face, after a night of heavy partying.
Having been frustrated by the lack of progress by police and their own private investigators, Spierer's parents are using the lawsuit to try to force more information from the two remaining defendants, Jay Rosenbaum and Corey Rossman. They believe the men, who have long since left Bloomington, Ind., and are pursuing careers out of state, are still withholding information about their time with Spierer in the hours leading to her disappearance.
Lawyers for Rosenbaum and Rossman maintain Spierer left the housing complex on her own and that the young men bare no responsibility.
The lack of answers has left the Spierers trapped in time. They accept that their daughter is dead but are unwilling to move on. Her room remains as it was the last time she visited.
"It seems like this just happened, like it was just this past June," Charlene Spierer said. "I still have Lauren's text messages on my phone, her voice messages. It's almost like we're still waiting."
"You just get kind of crazy about things," she added, noting that she gets choked up when she encounters people and places that remind her of Lauren.
She and her husband also tense up when they receive phone calls from each other.
"Every time Robbie calls me, even after all this time, I think he's calling me about Lauren," she said, tearfully.
"I feel the same way," Robert Spierer said, "that one of those calls from you is going to be a call where you're going to be saying they found Lauren."
Yet this year for the first time since their daughter's disappearance, they've been trying to figure out how to move on with their lives, trying to convince themselves that it's OK to pursue happiness with her missing.
For instance, they're making efforts to spend more quality time with their older daughter, Rebecca, a social worker who this past year moved with her husband to Massachusetts.
"Rebecca said to me that she dreams about Lauren all the time," Charlene Spierer said. "We're trying not to just be completely focused on Lauren. Because (Rebecca) is young, she has a whole future ahead of her. Hopefully there's going to be a lot of happy things that are going to be happening for her."
"The passage of time doesn't blunt the memories," Robert Spierer said. "What it helps you to do is to find other meaningful things in your life, try to bring back things that haven't been there for the past three years. It takes a while to get to that place where you feel like you can start looking forward instead of continuously looking backward.
"We're letting ourselves do things that other people do," he added. "We talked about planning a vacation."
"But we can't," Charlene Spierer said. "We can't really plan because we need to be here. We're kind of dictated now by this suit that we're pursuing. If there is a court date, if there's an interview, we need to be there."
They filed the lawsuit days before the second anniversary. Since then, they've maintained a low profile, not wanting to jeopardize the case by commenting about the young men they've strongly criticized in the past.
It has required restraint and extreme patience. Over the course of a year, the Spierers haven't gotten to the point when their lawyer can depose the defendants and grill them about the disappearance. A trial, if it happens, won't take place until May 2015 at the earliest.
"The process is painstakingly slow, and fraught with filings and appeals and refilings, just an endless series of legal maneuverings and delays," Robert Spierer said.
"You get very disheartened," Charlene Spierer said. "But what are our other options? We really can't do anything as far as the investigation. So we really don't have a choice. It's very emotional. But we're not going to give up on Lauren."
