My second favorite Steelers Commercial ever! The best had to be Joe Greene
**** Formerly Clevestinks!****i como enormes senos
That Joe Green commercial is a classic. "Hey kid" lol, I love it!
The first time I saw this commercial I got immediately filled with pride knowing that I'm a part of the Steeler Nation. Long live the Terrible Towel!!
Thats the best commercial running on t.v. today!
How many other franchises if any have a symbol so widely recognized
around the globe as the mighty Steeler Nation!!
I could watch that on loop for a good half hour. LOL

Dozens of people joined the ranks of amputees April 15 when first one and then another terrorist bomb exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Dozens of people joined the ranks of amputees April 15 when first one and then another terrorist bomb exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Robert Haas knows what they face.
The Clintonville resident lost his lower left leg after being severely injured July 3, 2012, while serving in the U.S. Naval Reserves in the Indian Ocean.
He underwent surgery, recovered, entered rehabilitation and, in January, was fitted with a prosthetic leg, all without ever once having had contact with someone who had been through the same experience.
"When you go through this, you want to talk to other amputees, because you have a lot of questions," Haas said last week.
"I will not let this happen to another person in central Ohio," he said.
To make good on that vow, the former owner of Scottie MacBean Cafe has started the Amputee Recreational Support Group for Central Ohio.
Working in partnership with Columbus' Therapeutic Recreation Program in the Franklin Park Indoor Adventure Center, the Mount Carmel Limb Loss Support Group and Adaptive Sports Programs of Ohio, the organization's goal is to encourage people who have lost an arm or leg to military service, traffic or industrial accident, disease or, as was so recently made clear, terrorist attacks to remain as active as they can possibly be.
In other words, Haas said, "to get off the couch and back into a recreational lifestyle."
Haas makes a distinction between recreation and sports programs for people with physical disabilities, of which there are a goodly number in the Columbus area.
"Those people are already motivated," Haas said.
"Unfortunately, a majority of the people who become disabled, whether it's an auto accident or diabetes or service-related like me, change their lives to the negative," he said.
"They don't see themselves as active participants anymore.
"For the most part, they live a very sedentary, private life."
The purpose of the group, Haas said, is to motivate these people to become more active through moderate recreational and social proactive activities, such as nature walks in local parks -- "stuff that's fun, like when you were a kid and wanted to go out and play."
"Recreation is non-structured athletic fun," he added.
Haas said once members become more active, if they desire, they will be introduced to more aggressive sports and team activities promoted and organized by the Adaptive Sports Programs of Ohio and other groups.
He emphasized the support group, which is affiliated with the Amputee Coalition of America, is open to all amputees from the region.
"A lot of the amputees are young people," he said. "You'd be surprised how many (are) from motorcycle accidents -- that's a biggie.
"This is open to all ages. People think that once they hit 50, they can't do this stuff. Most of our members are over 50."
Haas has adapted sufficiently to his new prosthesis that he was able to run a 5K race April 20.
"It meant the world," he said.
"When I was in the hospital losing my leg, I had no preparation," Haas said.
"You go from being independent to being dependent. Then you have to start learn how to live life with an artificial limb.
"You'll be surprised by what the body can do," he said.
The next meeting of the Amputee Recreational Support Group is set from 9:30 to 11 a.m. May 11 at the Franklin Park Adventure Center, 1755 E. Main St.
A light breakfast will be provided by Capital Prosthetics. Mary Beth Moore, therapeutic recreation manager for the city's Recreation and Parks Department, will speak.
For more information, call Haas at 614-288-5105.

What would you do with a million gold?
Beyond the novelty of having such a huge amount of gold, one has to wonder what can be done with so much virtual money. I mean what's the point? I can't even use a quarter million.
Besides the obvious (buying all the vanity pets, mounts, equipment, etc. for all your characters), here's my idea. I would try to control the market for certain goods for a period of time. Would I need 1 million gold for that? Probably not, but it's certainly a nice fallback amount in case things go wrong.
I wouldn't be able to do it for extended periods of time and I would probably need to take a week off from work to accomplish this. By "controlling" the market I mean "form a total monopoly on certain goods". I would probably scope out some scarce crafting mats and I would buy them all below a certain threshold. Then I would set my own price and sell them at that price. I would buy all undercutters and re-post.
What would I accomplish? In the end probably not much. It would be more of an experiment but in the best case I would turn even more profits. Unfortunately I don't know what success such a scheme would have due to people constantly undercutting, at all hours, even in the middle of the night when I can't do anything about it. That's why I'd have to take time off from work. So in the end it might not be such a great idea after all.
I just wish I had $1 million instead. I'd certainly find a use for those!
What about you? What would you do with a million gold?

Gold buying is pretty stupid, but if I honestly had a million gold I would sell it either on my own or to a gold selling company. Seriously you can't spend all that in game reasonably. So might was well make some real cash and save some gold for yourself.

True dat. I was gonna write a post about the very topic of gold selling.
- March 20, 2010 at 1:18 PM
Since it would be more than enough to satisfy the needs of all my toons, I would have a blast with it. Gifts for guildies, buy some bags and give them out to new players at the starting area, and stuff like that.

I used to need gold for buying gear that I otherwise couldn't get from pvping, but since heroics buying gear isn't really necessary, apart from Quel'Dalar a few months ago. I make less gold now from the AH (my old tricks don't make the money they used to) than I do from dailies.
A 100,000 gold is way more than I need to buy every mount and pet in the game that I don't already have, but it's a good amount to have for Cataclysm.
If I had a million gold maybe I'd organize some sort of server event. See how many flares can be placed in 10 minutes or cover the area between IF bank and AH with fish feasts.
- March 21, 2010 at 5:55 AM
Theres just nothing kmuch to do with it really is there? I have 90k ish at the moment, 4 80s, all with epic flying, a couple of choppers, a mammoth... there's barely any epics worth buying anymore.

After getting all the gold-based achievements (kirin tor rings, the 22-slot bag, and the various mounts) and decking my main out with the various vanity pets, not much else one can do. I like the idea of controlling a market, but who knows Blizz might not take kindly to one toon controlling a monopoly on say epic gems.
- March 22, 2010 at 7:19 PM
- Darth Solo said...
Blizzard doesn't mind people trying to control a market, as long as they are not using bots or other automated means to do it. They've stated this repeatedly. For example they won't mind if, say, someone tries to monopolize a certain market by keeping prices artificially low for weeks on end. It's pretty much a free market (again, provided no cheats are used). So monopolize away!
- March 23, 2010 at 7:07 AM
I would disagree with your fundamental gold making mantras...
Here's my strategy: -
Level to 80 FAST. Fuck gathering and trades and the AH and all that stuff, you'll get all the gold and gear you need from quests and running dungeons.. reason for this is it's much easier to make gold when u get to 80.
Once you get to 80, hammer the argent/ebonweave blah blah dailies. at the same time get into the dungeon group finder. Use the triumph emblems to buy crusader orbs from vendor and punt them on AH. Level jewelcrafting then use the dalaran jewlers tokens from daily quest to buy dragon's eyes that you can sell on AH.. Level enchanting and DE all the purples u can get. Use your champion's seals from argent to get weps and DE them and sell the crystals.... also vendor trash all the other drops you get in heroic dungeons and your away.
Another tip, once you complete a dungeon on dungeon finder, don't put in your need/greed rolls on the drops straight away, most people only care about emblems and will beam out straight away and u can win the loot easy (and DE or trash). If any fucker is wise to this (there's always one), fuck em, roll a need for everything. You'll never see him again anyway. Rinse and repeat. Daily quests while you're dungeon queueing. I should charge money for this shit. Peace out.
- March 28, 2010 at 6:17 PM
Oh, and you'll get stone keeper's shards, use them to buy whatever gems are selling for decent on your server and u can make a fortune.
This is also a simpler strat than splitting up saronite bars etc. as you don't need to fuck around with the AH too much and also you can get geared at the same time :-)
- March 28, 2010 at 6:27 PM
- Darth Solo said...
That is also a way to do it, of course. At any rate, I don't see a reason not to learn skinning at the very least while leveling. Skinning is one skill that practically levels itself and gives you extra crit to boot.
- March 29, 2010 at 7:26 PM
- Oxymustard said...
Sell it, that's what I used to do back in vanilla. Find a few buyers in your region, login at their place over the course of a few weeks and when a GM contacts you simply say that he's a friend from college/work and that you gave the gold as a gift and because your IP is registered there a few times and you're not from Asia they won't make it a big deal.
I'm sitting on 780k right now and feeling pretty burned out from raiding. I usually monopolize the pristine black diamond,librams and rare patterns/designs/schematics market. The first two will make you alot of gold because many folks start and quit The Insane achievement.
- April 8, 2010 at 6:31 AM
- Darth Solo said...
@Oxymustard yeah I would sell it but I'm not gonna risk it. Besides, there are bigger security issues with these gold sites and I wouldn't wanna get involved. At any rate, it's always good to have a big gold buffer.

Cattle management and hay production seminars will be of interest to cattle producers attending the 2009 UT Beef and Forage Field Day.
The event is being held June 11 by the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture at the Blount Unit of the East Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center near Knoxville.
Activities will begin with registration and a trade show at 7:00 a.m.
The keynote presenter will be Raymond Cooper, a producer from Cannon County, Tenn. His talk is titled "I Have Fed No Hay to 120 Cows in Six Years."
Following the keynote presentation, attendees will divide into small groups to hear expert presenters discuss such topics as pasture management, weed control, and addressing fuel and fertilizer costs.
Additional talks will cover the economics of herd management, budgets for grazing systems, and soil testing. Time will be available for all participants to attend each session as well as to visit the trade exhibits.
A youth program will be presented concurrent to the main program, and both programs will conclude with a sponsored lunch.
Pre-registrations are encouraged by June 4. Contact a local county UT Extension office or call the East Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center at (865) 974-7201.
The UT Beef and Forage Field Day is a cooperative effort of UT AgResearch and the UT Extension Eastern Region. The Blount Unit of the East Tennessee Research and Education Center is located on Singleton Station Road, which is approximately 8 miles south of the UT agricultural campus in Knoxville off U.S. Highway 129. If approaching from the south, Singleton Station Road is just over 1 mile north of the intersection of U.S. 129 and I-140 (Pellissippi Parkway).

Post subject: Need Advice on board and Rig
I need some advice on a board and rig. A little history. I am 44 yrs old. Have been winsurfing on and off since around 15 yrs old. Always on longboards. Mistral Competition Light then Fanatic Fox and then Equipe. I got out of it for a number of years and all my equipment disappeared over the years. I am now just getting back into it. My weight is 135 Lbs. I uphaul only. I like to sail in 8 to 15 knots. Flat water only. On the coast of North Carolina, a city called Wilmington, south of Hatteras. I bought a couple of cheap boards . A Bic Samba (170 L) and an old Fanatic Shark (125 L). Honestly I dont feel comfortable on either one. I used to love to go out in anything from 8 to 15 knots. Now I fear that I will not be able to uphaul and get back. Thats a big issue for me since I am now diabetic, however I do carry sugar in my life jacket just in case my blood sugar drops. My sails are a little older too. An awol 5.5 from hot sails maui and a Bic fun slalom 6.4 that came with the Samba. I feel I may have a stability issue and maybe feeling a little over powered with the sails. I did buy a cheap waist harness that I am trying to learn how to use. I have a two yr old child now, so for me looking at any new equipment is way out of the question. Any Advice anyone could give me would be wonderful, Take care, Have a wonderful day, cheers, Len

hey Len,
here's a great starter written by James who is a big contributor on this forum
How old /wide is the Shark ? Briefly the newer style boards are wider which means more stability, easier to up haul and plane. The newer sails have improved stability and hence better control and range. Both of these "innovations" will definitely improve your sailing experience based on the issues you put forth.
Starting on a 80cm wide board with daggerboard, maybe a 5.0 or even 4.0/4.2 sail ? at 135# that 6.4 must be a big sail for you and a bear to up haul ?
I would think something used from 2004 + would suit you well and still be very reasonably priced. Guestimate boards in the $300-400 range and sails in the $150 ? Maybe something like a Starboard Go ?

+1 on the above post, and add learn to rig your sails properly, it makes an incredible difference in how well they handle, and affect how much fun you have accordingly. Most sail company websites have a rigging guide on them.

I would not have thought that the Samba would feel much more unstable and difficult to uphaul than an Equipe, but it is slightly lower volume (but you are light). But anything wider than 70 cm would be a piece of cake to uphaul for you. Then you decide whether you want daggerboard or not. dhmark

Post subject: Thanks for the advice
I have been recommended the Starboard Go. I will seek an older version of that board and in the meantime keep trying with the Samba. Do you think a smaller rig could help greatly? With some help from Hot Sails Maui I have finally gotten the tuning on the AWOL 5.5 pretty good. At 135 pounds do you think that size should be ok for 10-14 knots? I have even thought about a 3.7. Is that too small? Thank you all for all your help.

The Bic Samba is notoriously tippy. Even though it is a longboard, it's tippier than some shortboards.
I'd look for a wider and floatier longboard. The Kona ONE is a popular one that works well for both non-planing and planing windsurfing. It has 220 liters volume.
The GO is pretty stable, but it's not really intended for non-planing windsurfing.

I'll second d0uglass recommendation on the Kona ONE. I own one and it's a keeper since it's a very versatile board. It may glide a little less than the Mistral you've used in very light wind but it will be easier to use and more fun in planning wind. It also has intrisic safety since it has good flotation and a daggerboard.
I think your 5.5 sail size is ok for you. If you use James' sail calculator, you will see that 14 kts will barely get you on the plane. Meaning that with more experience, you will use that sail in higher winds. A 3.7 would be the recommended sail for a beginner without sail handling experience. I assume you are more advanced than that. I guess the best you can do is to try again you 5.5 in lighter winds to figure out if you are close to be overwhelmed by the weight and the pull of the sail before getting something smaller if needs be.

Get a larger SUP. Make sure it has a sail connection. They are very stable and glide great in lite wind. If you goal is to get up on a plane then go for the Kona. Stable, good glide in light wind and can get moving if the wind picks up. Hard to find one used. As for a sail, a 5.5 if set up correctly should be perfect. If you don't downhaul or outhaul enough, the sail will feel heavy and get over powered quickly. How old are your sail. The new stuff is so much better than what we all learned on 20 or 30 years ago. Look on the buy sell adds and find a nice 3 to 5 year old sail for a hundred bucks. Just make sure it been taken care of.....

you want to keep costs down
you want to uphaul some sails that you are having difficulty with...
you have a harness
yesterday i was having difficulty uphauling my sail as well
i adjusted my EZ uphaul and i felt it was MUCH easier
not all people like them, but when they work for you and your sail then YAHOO
they are NOT expensive and do require some adjustment which just takes time

Marriage law takes effect in England and Wales
March 13, 2014
Today, the marriage law passed last year in the United Kingdom took effect - meaning that married same-sex couples living in England and Wales are now respected as married in the state. Unmarried couples were able to issue their "intent to marry" beginning today, but they cannot receive licenses until March 29, 2014, after the countries' 16-day waiting period.
The bulk of same-sex marriage legislation came into effect at midnight, meaning couples who have entered into same-sex marriages overseas are now recognised as married. Before today, same-sex couples who got married overseas had their marriages treated as a civil partnership in England and Wales, but the Equalities office says from today "they will instead be recognised as being married".
Earlier this year, the United Kingdom passed a freedom to marry bill, which applies to both countries. In July 2013, the Queen of England granted royal assent, and final approval, to the bill. When the Queen granted this final approval, Freedom to Marry founder and President Evan Wolfson cheered on the victory, contextualizing the win in the international movement to protect same-sex couples and their families. Evan said:
After a rich and extensive months-long debate in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, Britain's parliament passed a historic freedom to marry bill, introduced by a conservative prime minister and drawing support from across the spectrum. ... With the Supreme Court's powerful ruling on federal respect for marriages nationwide, Freedom to Marry has laid out the roadmap of work needed to ensure that the United States joins these countries on the right side of history.
16 countries now have the freedom to marry for same-sex couples nationwide: The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, Argentina, Denmark, Brazil, France, New Zealand, and Britain. Two others have taken regional steps to allow same-sex couples to share in the freedom to marry in parts of the country: Mexico and the United States.
Learn all about the freedom to marry internationally HERE.

Legacy: Austria's Influence On American Skiing "Kruchenhauser & His Ambassadors (1950s - 1970s)" Why have so many American ski schools and resorts been influenced by Austrians? From 1931-1971 Professor Stefan Kruckenhauser and his ski instructors/ambassadors dominated the world of alpine ski instruction, and alpine ski racing in particular. American investors paid top dollar to get Austrian champions, like Othmar Schneider, Pepi Gramshammer, and Pepi Stiegler, all interviewed in this film, to represent growing American ski areas, and as a result? Austrian alpine skiing technique, racing, coaching and culture permeated the American alpine ski scene, particularly at some of the Americas' largest, best-known resorts: Aspen, Boyne Mt., Jackson Hole, Portillo, Stowe, Sun Valley, the Sugar Bow, Stratton, and Vail.

Test Kitchen-Approved
Author Notes: This is a take on champ, a traditional Irish dish of potatoes mashed with scallions or spring onions. I use buttermilk and Yukon Gold potatoes to give the potatoes a lot of flavor without tons of butter. To mash the spuds, I strongly recommend a food mill. The mill yields fluffy, lump-free potatoes, and even better, it will separate most of the skins from the potatoes, so you don't need to peel them! —Savorykitchen
Serves: 4-6
pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
bunches scallions
ounces butter, divided
cup buttermilk
salt and pepper
In This Recipe
- Wash the potatoes, peel them if desired, and cut into large chunks. Place them into a pot of well-salted cold water (enough water to cover by 1") and bring to a simmer. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Slice the scallions (the green and white) into thin rings. While the potatoes are cooking, in a small skillet, melt 2 ounces of butter. When melted, add the scallions to the skillet and stir until they have wilted and are a little softened. Set aside and keep warm.
- Drain the potatoes and mash using a food mill, potato ricer, hand blender or your chosen implement of destruction. I like smooth, silky mashed potatoes, but if you like 'em lumpy, I won't judge.
- Add the remaining 2 ounces of butter to the potatoes and stir in. Add buttermilk until the potatoes are light and not too thick. Again, this is partly a personal choice. For me, 1 cup of buttermilk is the maximum needed to get the right blend of richness and lightness. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust as needed.
- Stir about half of the scallion mixture into the potatoes. Turn the potatoes into a warmed serving dish and top with the remaining scallions.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is weighing up the possibility of extending its current licensing of AirPlay to include video. Currently third party manufacturers can use AirPlay but only the audio protocol. This is why we are seeing high end stereos and iPod docks with AirPlay but no products that can receive video streamed from an iOS device.
Under the new plan, according to "two people familiar with the project", Apple will license AirPlay video software to consumer electronics makers this year. This could then be included in TV's, Media Players, Blu-ray Players etc.
AirPlay is one of the killer features of the new Apple TV. If Apple decides to let other manufacturers use the technology it would surely lessen the attraction of the Apple TV for many. On the other hand, it would make owning an iOS device with AirPlay a very attractive proposition to many more potential users; and open more iTunes accounts too.
What do you think? Would you still buy an Apple TV if you could use AirPlay directly with your TV or Blu-ray ? Let us know in the comments!

Johnson City, Tenn. (
The Owls, who are entering their final season of play in the A-Sun, received nine of a possible 11 votes in the coaches poll while rival Stetson garnered the remaining two votes to stand second. The media poll was similar with FAU grabbing seven first place votes to sneak past the Hatters for the top spot by just one point.
Following the pair of traditional powers is newcomer UNF who is only one year removed from reaching the NCAA Division II title game. Gardner-Webb lands fourth followed by ETSU and Jacksonville. First year member Kennesaw State stands as a solid seventh place in both polls while Belmont, Campbell, Lipscomb and Mercer rank in the bottom four spots in slightly different order in each poll.
Another media outlet, Southeastern Baseball, projected a third place conference finish for the Buccaneers.
"We are very excited about the start of the season," said head coach Tony Skole. "As always I'm not concerned with where the pollsters believe we stand prior to the season. I really like our ball club and the kids are working extremely hard."
The Bucs placed one player on the preseason all-conference team, senior outfielder Shane Byrne (
"We have high expectations but we also understand the high quality of baseball played in the Atlantic Sun Conference," said Skole. "We have a very difficult schedule ahead of us which will be a great challenge."

Facebook for iPhone just received an update that contains one of the most sought after missing features, push notifications. It has been a long time coming as most of us hoped for this feature when Facebook 3.0 was released. The only other difference noted in 3.1 is very Android-like, the ability to sync your friends with your address book.
Now all we need is for Apple to step up to the plate with iPhone 4.0 and give us a better to handle our notifications. At least we can all dream right?

For your consideration: a $500,000 ring mounted with a tanned sliver of hairy human skin. The piece, titled the Forget Me Knot ring, is the creation of boundary-pushing Icelandic fashion and jewelry designer Sruli Recht. For these one-of-a-kind works of art, Recht had a 110 by 10 millimeter a strip of his skin surgically removed from his abdomen; the artist then salted it, tanned it, and embedded it on a gold ring.
The work, though grisly, carries with it a raw sexual potency. Its title refers, of course, to marriage, or "tying the knot;" in this way, the piece is unabashedly intimate, tying literal bodily fleshiness with the idea of love and intimacy. The ring's beauty lies in its refusal to be pretty; its hairy, gray, and it's gruesome physicality operates as a strangely comforting promise that two people might become "one flesh."
The medicinal and scientific references of the rings strangely reinforce this idea of devotion. Complicating the relationship between jeweler and client, the ring comes with a certificate of authenticity, providing DNA validation that the slash is in fact the artist's, and a DVD graphically documenting the making of the ring, including the surgical removal of flesh. With these items, Recht creates a personal catalog of both his molecular and artistic existence, offering himself to a potential wearer in uncomfortable yet touching ways.
Recht's other rings, composed of rare black diamonds and other precious stones, remain authentic to his gritty, viscerally demanding aesthetic. Take a look, and let us know what you think! (via Oddity Central)

The Golden Gate Chapter of Audi Club North America is one of the more active organizations in the country. Throughout the year it holds a number of high performance driving events at various racetracks, instructor certification clinics and teen driving clinics. It also has Yosemite and Marin County fun drives as well as hosting a hospitality tent at Turn 5 at Laguna Seca during the Grand-Am races to cheer on the Audi teams.
As summer 2012 faded into fall, the focus turned to its signature event, AudiFest at Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon). It's the Chapter's largest event of the year and although it didn't break the record attendance of 2011, it came darn close.
Club members were able to enjoy two days on the track, but it started with a fun drive in Sonoma and Napa counties on the Friday, with a banquet, raffle and auction on Saturday night.
In an effort to centralize the event, all Friday's pre-track activities were held at the Sheraton Petaluma host hotel. This meant attendees could check-in, register for the event and get the car tech-inspected before heading to the Raceway on Saturday morning.
Club member Larry Whitney led Friday's drive through Sonoma and Napa Counties to enjoy the winding roads and vineyards. The group travelled up to Santa Rosa and Calistoga, stopping for outdoor lunch at Busters Southern BBQ. It was followed by a brief wine and champagne tasting at the Frank Family Winery before traversing the mountains back to the host hotel.
With a variety of meetings held for the first-time attendees and track instructors on Friday evening, the all-in-one approach proved to be the right one. The instructors were then paired with their students at the end of the general drivers meeting and everybody retired early to prepare for the first track day.
On Saturday, fog hung low over the hills above Sonoma Raceway, but early risers were greeted to the familiar sight of cars being rolled off trailers into parking spots as the paddock filled.
With the best part of the weekend underway, the instructed groups were out first, followed by the intermediate and advanced groups. The newbies listened intently to veteran instructor Gordon Sanderson who prepared them for what to expect when they got on-track. But first they'd experience slalom, threshold braking and lane-change exercises to understand car dynamics.
After lunch a line had formed at the garage of sponsor Big-O tires, where Guy Gamba and his crew helped students with tire pressure recommendations and free nitrogen fill-ups. The paddock was busy with the DIYers rotating tires, checking oil and cleaning windshields.
The beginners were first on track in the afternoon and the remaining groups got their sessions as the day progressed.
As with most Audi Club events, the evening banquet, with its auction and raffle to benefit the Chapter, was a great way to end the day. While members enjoyed their meal, Event Master Cliff Musante presented Andrew Bennett from 2Bennett Audimotive with the 2012 Member of the Year award. Andrew and brother Ken have been huge supporters who go out of their way to assist members, so it was well-deserved.
The event wouldn't have been possible without help from the sponsors who are listed online. They generously donated 23 items for the raffle worth more than $17000, raising almost $2000 in ticket sales. The impressive list including everything from sets of Pirelli and Continental tires to Neuspeed wheels, APR software, a Milltek exhaust, to dyno pulls and wheel alignments.
Sunday picked up from where Saturday left off, with everybody making the most of their track time and trying to build on their experience. Inevitably, the day passed too quickly but many of the first-timers had been signed off by their instructors for solo laps. They soon had the same worn tires and broad smiles of everybody else in the paddock.
Audi Club North America Golden Gate Chapter had hosted another great event at Sonoma Raceway, but as AudiFest 2012 was ending, its members were looking ahead to the 2013 Winter Diving Event at Thunderhill Raceway, which took place in January.

An Australian process for disposing of nuclear waste has emerged as a front runner for cleaning up atomic power plants and obsolete warheads.
The Synroc, or synthetic rock process, was invented by the late Australian nuclear physicist Ted Ringwood in 1978.
This month, after years of low budget and low key refinement, it won a multimillion dollar "demonstration" contract to eliminate 5 tonnes of plutonium contaminated waste at British Nuclear Fuel's Sellafield plant, on the northwest coast of England.
Synroc binds or immobilizes nuclear wastes in a synthetic rock containing microscopic matrices specifically tailored to lock up the particular forms of spent uranium or plutonium that needs to be disposed.
It is claimed Synroc will be geologically stable for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years and resistant to subterranean heat and water leaching.
In Ringwood's vision the enriched uranium or plutonium fuel rods that were used in power stations would be turned into synroc once their energy was spent and put back into the same mine shafts from which the uranium ore from which they were made was extracted.
"There is no more elegant way of safely exploiting atomic energy than extracting everything you can from the original source and then putting the waste back where it came from," Ringwood said at the time.
But Synroc ran afoul of both the nuclear industries of the US, UK and France, and the anti-nuclear movements. The atomic "establish disarmament" movements vehemently opposed all aspects of the industry, even the work towards safe storage of waste, on the basis that it could be reprocessed in the wrong hands into nuclear weapons.
And until the combined crises of soaring oil prices and unacceptable levels of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning began to make themselves felt, these political and economic objections had brought the industry to a standstill.
Nuclear energy was too costly, compared to coal or oil, and the problem of dealing with radioactive by-products that could be lethal for more than 250,000 years had not been solved. Vitrification also proved a failure.
Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization says the global spend on temporary storage of nuclear waste is now around US$4 billion a year, and it has been discretely lobbying behind the scenes in recent years to "educate" politicians on the potential export benefits of either licensing Synroc or using it for an Australia-based reprocessing industry.
Ringwood, who died 14 years ago, had estimated that Australia could earn around US$10 billion a year from converting other countries radioactive wastes into Synroc and burying them deep under the outback.
Synroc was chosen by the US Department of Energy in the 1990s as a preferred technology for treating waste plutonium, before the program's budget was cancelled in Congress.
The British deal for Synroc comes as government and opposition politicians in Australia are calling for careful reconsideration of the merits of nuclear energy as an alternative to the burning of fossil fuels. As a major producer of uranium, Australia is now debating becoming a user, and a remover, of the most potentially deadly element that exists in mineral form on the planet.

Drakes Bay Oyster Co. owner Kevin Lunny won a legal battle Monday when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency injunction that will keep his operation open until his appeal can be heard.
Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected an appeal of her previous ruling dismissing a preliminary injunction request to halt the federally ordered closure of the oyster operation in the Point Reyes National Seashore.
The 9th Circuit court agreed to the emergency injunction stopping the closure while it considers whether to issue a temporary injunction based on Lunny's appeal. Had it not granted the emergency injunction, Drakes Bay would have had to close operations by March 15.
"We are beyond thrilled that our business will now remain open while we continue to fight the decisions from the court and Secretary (Ken) Salazar that have put our business at risk," Lunny said.
The closure order came on Nov. 29 of last year, when Interior Secretary Salazar announced he would allow a 40-year lease -- originally negotiated with the Johnson Oyster Co. in 1972 and taken on by Drakes Bay -- to expire. In 1972 the federal government bought the land from Johnson for $79,200 and provided the lease. Lunny took over the lease in 2004.
Salazar wrote in his decision that Lunny was explicitly informed "no new permit will be issued" after the 2012 expiration date.
Lunny has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn that decision, but he needs a temporary injunction to allow him to continue to operate until his lawsuit can be heard. The 9th Circuit court is expected to take up the injunction issue the week of May 13.
"Our fight has always been about more than just our business," Lunny said. "Our fight is, and will continue to be, about the great service Drakes Bay Oyster farm provides to the community as an innovative sustainable farm, an educational resource, and part of the economic fiber of Marin County."
Neal Desai, Pacific Region associate director of the National Parks Conservation Association, said he believes it is just a matter of time before Drakes Bay has to shut down.
"We are confident the district court got it right when it decided that the interior secretary had full discretion to let the lease expire and that the oyster company was unlikely to win its lawsuit," he said. "The 9th Circuit Court's decision (Monday) unfortunately delays by two months the ability for Americans to enjoy their national park wilderness."

Wabash College is the nation's 6th best value private college according to The Princeton Review. Each year the New York-based company compiles rankings of colleges across the country from surveys conducted during the previous school year.
Wabash was sixth on the best value private college Top 10 list. No other Indiana college made the list. Wabash was also named one of 163 colleges named a Best Midwestern College. More than 650 colleges across the country complete the survey for consideration.
The lists are part of the 2008 edition of its book, America's Best Value Colleges (Random House/Princeton Review, $18.95) that is now on sale. The guide profiles 165 colleges chosen for their excellent academics, generous financial aid packages and costs of attendance.
Wabash scored in the top 10 of six different categories compiled by the publication. Wabash ranked third in "Professors make Themselves Accessible," only behind the United States Air Force Academy and the United States Naval Academy.
Wabash was No. 8 on the list of "School Runs Like Butter," with Pomona College and Bowdoin College topping the list.
The "Students Happy with Financial Aid" category had Wabash ranked 10th of the 165 schools. Princeton topped that list.
Wabash attained its highest category ranking in the "Everyone Plays Intramural Sports" category, finishing second behind Notre Dame.
The College was 7th on the "Major Frat and Sorority Scene" ratings. DePauw was the only other Indiana school on that list.
Wabash was fourth on the "Jock Schools" list in interesting company behind University of Florida, Penn State and Clemson.
The Princeton Review selected the schools for the book based on data it obtained from administrators at more than 650 colleges during the 2005-06 academic year, and its surveys of students attending the schools.
"We considered over 30 factors to identify our 'best value' colleges," said Robert Franek, vice present of publishing for The Princeton Review.
"They covered four areas: Academics, Tuition GPA (the sticker price minus average amount students receive in scholarships and grants), Financial Aid (how well colleges meet students' financial need), and Student Borrowing. The 90 public and 75 private colleges we chose for this edition offer a terrific education, plus they have impressive records of meeting students' needs for financial aid. We highly recommend them as America's best college education deals for 2007."

The Craft & Hobby Association announced yesterday the locations for its Winter 2011 and Winter 2012 trade shows.
The CHA Winter 2011 Show will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, from Saturday, January 29th through Tuesday, February 1st, 2011. This is a shift from the usual Sunday-Wednesday schedule for the trade show. The California Gift Show will take place at the Convention Center from January 21st-24th, 2011.
The CHA Winter 2012 Show will return to the Anaheim Convention Center from Sunday, January 29th through Wednesday, February 1st, 2012.
"As one of Trade Show Weeks Largest 200 events in North America CHA is faced with some unique exhibiting requirements that can only be serviced in top-tier trade show cities like Anaheim and Los Angeles," explained Steve Berger, President and CEO, CHA. "Over the past several years CHA has aggressively pursued the best rates, accommodations and concessions from potential host cities in order to keep costs down, grow the show and industry, and keep our members happy."
In an exclusive interview this afternoon Tony Lee, CHA VP of Meetings & Expositions, told Scrapbook Update Editor Nancy Nally that CHA plans tenatively to start moving the Winter show around from its recent base in Anaheim about one out of every three years to keep the show from getting stale. Lee said that CHA believes it is important to keep the show on the west coast for the next few years due to the concentration of CHA membership in that area (CHA has 800 members in California alone). The size of the venue that CHA needs limits CHA's selection on the west coast to San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Anaheim and Los Angeles.
Asked about whether the Saturday-Tuesday schedule for the 2011 show ruled out a consumer Supershow accompanying that show, Lee said that CHA was waiting to see the results of this weekend's show before deciding on its options for next winter's show, which could include booking a separate venue for a Supershow. Lee said that logistical concerns with other events in the LA Convention Center had required the schedule shift, but that exhibiting costs and other practical considerations might actually make a separate venue more attractive for a Supershow anyway.
Lee did have a very positive outlook on the future of the Supershows, saying that they are intended by CHA to grow the crafting market and that their research showed they succeeded with that in Orlando. 65% of Orlando attendees said they tried a new craft, and 85% of those who did said they planned on purchasing supplies for a new craft that they tried. Lee said that they have filled the upcoming show's booth space almost to capacity, and that two-thirds to three-quarters of the exhibitors are doing make-n-takes, taking up about 18,000 square feet with those activitites. He says they've also addressed for this show a major concern from the summer show by widening aisles to reduce the congestion that was seen at the summer show.
LA Inc., the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau, will be aggressively promoting the 2011 winter show location to attendees at the 2010 show in Anaheim. They are sponsoring the Keynote presentation and Awards Ceremony featuring Dr. Martha Beck from 7:45 – 9:45 a.m. on Sunday, January 24th. Prior to the Keynote address attendees will be shown a video highlighting sites and hot spots in Los Angeles. During the show itself, LA Inc. can be found in booth # 3688 where Candy Spelling will sign autographs and give away prizes. (Candy Spelling is the widow of legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling and the mother of actress Tori Spelling. Her bestselling book, Stories from Candyland, will be out in paperback March 2nd.) Universal Studios is also providing Shrek and Fiona for photo opportunities.
So, what will downtown Los Angeles have to offer CHA attendees who in recent years have gotten used to having Disneyland on their doorstep? Scrapbook Update called on our friend Georganne Bender to find out. Bender, as half of the retail consultant team Kizer & Bender, has traveled extensively to speak at every major convention center in the country. (Bender is also currently a CHA board member.) She described the LA Convention Center as beautiful, and for entertainment, pointed to the brand new complex within walking distance called LA Live. LA Live includes an assortment of restaurants and theaters, and the Staples Center is also part of the LA Live/Convention Center complex. For those who wish to play tourist, Hollywood and Beverly Hills are 7-10 miles away – an affordable cab ride for a chance to play paparazzi looking for stars, window shop designer stores, see the walk of fame, or catch a glimpse of the famous Hollywood sign. LAX is about twice as close to the LA Convention Center as it is to Anaheim, facilitating more convenient arrivals.
On Monday, January 25th, 2010 from 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. in room 204A of the Anaheim Convention Center, CHA members are welcome to attend the CHA Town Hall Meeting, where they can ask questions directly to CHA executives and learn more about the CHA Winter Show venue selection or discuss any CHA-related items.
Editor's Note: Please note that the CHA trade shows are business events which are only open to credentialed professional members of the crafts industry who attend to conduct business such as ordering wholesale product for their retail businesses and conducting meetings and attending business seminars. These are NOT consumer events that are open to the general public.

Article Summary: This article provides general information on DNS aging and scavenging in Windows Server.
Dynamic DNS has been one of the key features of Active Directory since its inception, and Active Directory administration would be considerably more difficult and time-consuming without it. It allows machines in an Active Directory domain to automatically register themselves in DNS so that other domain members can locate them easily. When the IP address of one of those machines changes, the corresponding DNS record is automatically updated to reflect the change, ensuring that the machine can still be located.
There can be a downside to this, though: when a machine is removed from the network without warning - due to a hardware failure, for example - any records belonging to it will remain in DNS indefinitely. If the same machine rejoins the network later with a different IP address, both sets of records will appear in DNS, and other machines will be intermittently unable to connect to it when they resolve its name to the old (and no longer valid) address.
Fortunately, there is a mechanism that can alleviate this: DNS aging and scavenging. As its name implies, two mechanisms work in concert to provide this functionality: the aging mechanism applies a timestamp to newly created DNS records, and the scavenging mechanism periodically deletes records that are older than a certain age. The process is a bit more complicated than that, however.
Aging and scavenging are disabled by default on Windows DNS servers, because they can have a negative impact if they are enabled and improperly configured. For example, valid DNS records may be deleted. If these deleted records belong to a domain controller, domain-wide connectivity problems and/or authentication failures can result. For this reason, it is important to understand the aging and scavenging process before setting it up.
The following is an overview of the aging and scavenging process for a single DNS record:
There are a few important points to remember:
For instructions on configuring aging and scavenging, see How to Configure DNS Aging and Scavenging and How to Configure DNS Aging and Scavenging from the Command Line.

I have just returned from Fantasy Island Resort and am happy to say that it was a wonderful experience. The resort is older but kept very clean. The management is doing everything right. The beach was cleaned every morning and the meals were excellent. We had an stiff ocean breeze so we did not encounter any biting bugs. The scuba dive center is world class and takes any hassle or stress out of diving. The dive center sets the bar for other dive centers to meet. If you only get to go on one vacation this year then I would recommend this resort. I have been diving for many years and would class these dive locations as spectacular. Wall dives with large coral overhangs and creveces to swim through. An experience not to be missed.

We paid $11,000 for our family of 7 to celebrate New Years at an all-inclusive.
When we arrived the front desk told us that we would have to pay an extra $30 per person for the New Years Eve meal. We refused and were served dinner anyway. SCAM.
I've traveled the world (46 countries on 6 continents) slept on beaches, in train stations and on park benches but this was by far the worst vacation experience of my life.
I've e-mailed Sunwing and asked for a full refund.
Room Number:
Confused and unorganized front desk. It took 3 hours to get a room key. Nobody knew what to do. The resort was about 1/2 full and it was like they didn't even know we were coming.
Looks like a poor quality hostel. The Men's shelter in my home city has nicer rooms.
Bathroom smelled like stale urine. Counter top was cracked and stained. Shower leaked and the shower head was broken. There wasn't any hot water one day and the tap and shower dispenses salt water only.
They ran out of toilet paper! We used napkins for one day.
They don't give you clean towels, they pick up your dirty towels off the dirty floor and drape them across the foot of the bed to dry. Soap and shampoo were replaced once in 7 days.
Bed sheets weren't changed once in the 7 days we were there!
Bar fridges didn't work and half of the air conditioners didn't work.
Restaurants and Bars:
Website says 2 restaurants and 2 bars. Only 1 bar that closes at 10 p.m. the pool bar never opens.
Only 1 restaurant that serves average but inconsistent food. Hot coffee one day but not the next. Milk, wine, beer, fresh meat and omelettes made an appearance but quickly left! Maybe the hoards of house flies stole them.
Breakfast is from 7-9:30. Lunch from 12-2 and dinner from 7-9:30. NO FOOD in between or after. They offer a pay menu if you get hungry - US$8 for a hamburger.
There are 5 mixed drinks and one american beer provided in the all-inclusive package. Anything else starts at US$5. Wine is undrinkable. I actually spit the red out.
They ran out of Rum one day.
The bartender, Gabby, told my kids that pot was legal in Honduras and sold them some!!! Classy touch
The beach was the only good thing about the whole vacation except for the fact that the cruise ship passengers took over the whole beach for 3 of the days we were there. Not a chair or umbrella or kayak to be had.
The website shows water trikes but they aren't there. Only 6 working kayaks for the whole resort.
It took 2 days to get a beach towel and we could only trade them in for clean ones twice.
Pool was filthy and smells like sewage.
The septic system must be under the deck in front of the bar. We couldn't sit on the patio not only for the smell but because the deck has rotted away and feels like it will collapse right under your feet.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
We brought our 3 kids and their significant others. 7 of us in total. We didn't do any off resort activities.
Playing with the monkeys and kayaking (if you can get one)are about it for on site activities.
The bar closes at 10 p.m. so staying up late and enjoying a few beverages was out of the question.
"One Happy Island.....Is Fantasy Island, Roatan Honduras"

Where to begin?
Fantasy Island, Roatan Honduras
My wife and I are avid scuba divers. We have been traveling to the Caribbean to vacation and dive and, in recent years up to as many as three trips a year. We do get around a bit so I thought Debbie's would be a good place to write about our most recent trip.
Let me start by saying....If I had to sum up this vacation in one word it would be intoxicating!
Room Number:
Once we were on the ground we decided to take our own cab ride to the resort. The airport was jammed and the resorts transfer bus was equally busy. The taxi ride was private and nice. Our driver was courteous and charged a fair rate. We travel with 6 bags (Three are loaded with dive gear and camera equipment). When we arrived at the resort, we were delighted at how well keep it appeared. The greeting we received by the staff made us feel most welcome.
The hotel was in the process of re-doing the rooms. Top to bottom, Paint ceramic and porcelain tile and fixtures in the bathrooms, new individual air conditioners, paint throughout and more. We opted to take one of the older rooms that had not been through the transformation yet. I wanted a better view of the water, and the rooms that had been completed at the time of our trip were just a little too far from the main operations of the resort. As of this writing all of the 115 rooms have been redone and you can now have a choice of any one of them if available.
Restaurants and Bars:
The resort restaurant was delightful! Our stay was all inclusive, never a shortage of food or variation. The chefs and staff were proud of their creations and were equally proud to present them to you. Once online (Buffet style) There was a soup and salad bar, BBQ grill, and fryer (food made to order while you wait), and 8-10 trays of warmed food for your consideration. Did I say I loved the food? You bet I did, if it wasn't for the 4+ dives that I did daily I probably would have gained 5-10 extra pounds.
The seating was plentiful. two-top tables all the way up to seating for 20 or more was available. The restaurant staff would bring your choice of beverage once seated. Oh did I mention wine and beer was included in the price? It was! The staff was always ready to please. I did notice that they loved it when I would tip as I went through the vacation rather than wait until the last day or meal. No all people did this and tipping at the time of the meal did win extra points.
The Lobby Bar was ample. There was always music on with a Caribbean flair and the seating was equally comfortable. Groups of four barrel chairs around a centered small table. The lobby is open to the outside so there was always a nice breeze coming through. Internet was access was available to all who brought their own laptop. There was one computer available on a sharing basis, first come, first served.
The fact is Roatan does not have many beaches, and the real fact here is that Fantasy Island not only has a beach but it is without a doubt one of the nicer ones on the island. Large, clean and in a sheltered lagoon. With views of the Caribbean just beyond the land atoll. A huge amount of seating is available ranging from hammocks to chaise lounges, to queen sized canopied beds for stretching out and taking a mid day snooze.
The grounds are magnificent! Clean and loaded with all types of various foliage and fauna. The resort is just what its name says.... Fantasy Island is on it's own island. When entering you need to cross over a 200 foot long bridge.
The pool was quite nice. I only had the opportunity to go in once as the water is not heated and the air temps were a little lower then normal on this trip. There is seating at one end at a swim-up bar. The bar is on the opposite side of the Lobby Bar. My wife and friend went in and they were promptly served as they sat down on one of the stools. Too bad it wasn't just a little warmer!
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
I think I started off by saying that this was a dive vacation so....I really can't say enough about the diving! It is wonderful viz (diver slang for visibility) is terrific (between 75' and 125') The reef is the second largest in the world and in great shape! You may want to lend a hand in Lion Fish eradication though. As in all of the Caribbean destinations these bad guys are flourishing.
The dive op was also in the process of being updated. New boats and equipment were in order. Checking back since our stay they keep to the plan and now have a top notch facility.
We ventured out only twice (off the island) during our two week stay. We made friends with our taxi driver (remember him from our arrival) he had given us his phone number so that we had our own car service available just by placing a call. He meet us at the lobby and off we went. He took us on a fantastic tour of the Western half of the island and we had a chance to see this wonderful island up close and personal.
There is an office set up back at the resort for just handling off-site activities. They seemed endless. Prices are very reasonable.
There was always someplace to go or do on the island...Did I mention there is even a private zoo for your enjoyment. Even three small monkeys were roaming free around the island. You never knew when these little guys would show up but they always knew when to surface for a treat.
Other Comments:
Once again I can't say enough about the staff. They know how to make you feel special......As special as if you were visiting your own private "Fantasy Island"
Have a vacation that you will remember!
Something was odd though, when I referred a large group to book their annual trip at Fantasy Island the Travel Rep. tried to convince the group to stay at another resort. I imagine the agent/rep was going to get a bigger commission from the other place. The other place may have been a little shinier or fancier but please give this place a chance. Times are tough and competition is fierce and in my opinion some people are only interested in what they can put in their own pocket.
This resort has spent a bundle and the results are obvious. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. My wife and I will be back in December this year but not for two weeks....THREE this time!

This was one of our best dive vacations. Everything and everyone one was perfect. My only complaint would be the Gift Shop. I wanted to purchase several t-shirts with Fantasy Island on them and the selection was poor. We are planning on another trip in Dec 2011 and hope to go back. I do not understand why when doing research through this resort we are told to try HMResort instead. This is odd to me.
Upon arrival at the airport we had a long wait for the hotel transportation. We took a taxi instead and will do this in the future.
Have been renovated since our stay. What I really liked was the on site laundry. They actually washed the bedspreads and air dried them. Big plus on this. We have stayed at high end hotels and the first thing we do is removed the bedspread. Here we were very comfortable sitting on the bed with the spread on.
Restaurants and Bars:
Being a diver in the past the bar and restaurants attached to the resort had wood chairs. I would put a small pillow in my tote bag and use it as a cushion. Here the chairs were clean and had plenty of padding in the seat, so sitting on them in shorts was nice. Also the bar area and additional seating was also so comfortable.
Loved the pool. On our stay it was not that warm to use it but will next stay. Also swim up bar.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
The diving on Roatan is heaven on earth. The boats could use some work but they get you to the dive site and back. The fresh fruit on the boat was plentiful and the Boat Captain passed out nice terry robes to wear in between our dives. I do think alot of the guest took them home. We did not and hope they still have the robes when we go back. I think they should charge everyone $50 for robe use and get a refund when you return the robe. We stayed in a Villa at Captain Dons Habitat a few years ago and was given a cheap towel on arrival. When you checked out and returned the towel your credit card charge was reversed, but on this stay our villa was robbed while we sleep. (that another story) On check out they wanted to charge us for the towel which was also robbed. We think they must have wrapped our laptop in it. This was our worst trip ever and will not return to Bonaire or CDH.
Other Comments:
One afternoon we walked over the bridge to get a taxi to tour the island. Great driver and also we met a nice man named Mr. Jackson. Hope he is doing well and can not wait to visit with him again.

Australian Baseball Star Shot And Killed in Duncan, Oklahoma By 'Bored' Teenagers [UPDATED]
A college baseball player attending East Central University was shot and killed Friday afternoon (Aug 16) in Duncan, Oklahoma.
Christopher Lane, a 22-year-old senior from Melbourne, Australia, was jogging through a quiet neighborhood while in Duncan visiting his girlfriend.
Lane was killed by three teenage boys, James Edwards-15 years-old, Chancey Luna 16 years-old and Michael Jones 17-years-old. The boys told police they "were bored" and just wanted to kill for fun. Duncan Police have identified Luna as the shooter.
Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford told the Associated Press on Monday that a woman called 911 after she saw Lane stagger across the road and fall to the ground.
Ford stated that Jones has given him a detailed confession to police.
"They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target,'" Ford said. "The boy who has talked to us said: 'We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.'"
The boys were picked up in a church parking lot in a black vehicle. Police searched the car and found a dismantled shotgun, however it is believed that it was not used to kill Lane.
The district attorney has filed for first degree murder charges at the Stephens County District Court. Due to the nature of the crime the boys can be tried as adults, however since they are under the age of 18, they cannot face the death sentence.
Sarah Harper, Lane's girlfriend, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that the two had returned to the United States from Australia only last week.
"He didn't deserve any of this," Harper told the network. "It's heartbreaking that it was such a random choice those guys made that drastically altered so many lives in the process."
In the wake of the crime former deputy prime minister of Australia Tim Fischer, has urged Australian citizens to boycott travel in the United States.
Fischer who, led Australia's gun control reforms with former prime minister John Howard in 1996 believes boycotting travel to the US will help build pressure to have Congress act on creating tougher gun laws.
"I am deeply angry about this because of the callous attitude of the three teenagers (but) it's a sign of the proliferation of guns on the ground in the USA," Fischer said. "This is the bitter harvest and legacy of the policies of the NRA that even blocked background checks for people buying guns at gunshows."
A memorial ceremony was held yesterday at Essendon Baseball Club
Flowers and a baseball were placed on the home plate yesterday morning with a message. "A wonderful young man taken too soon," it read. "Why?"
Essendon Baseball Club will hold a match against the University of Melbourne on Sunday as a tribute to Lane to raise money for the family.
Update 8/20/13 2:53 P.M: The three teenage boys have now been formally charged.
Longtime Citizen of Duncan, Oklahoma Reacts to Recent Acts of Violence
We can't escape the fact, as harsh as it may seem, that senseless acts of violence are not just for the big city anymore. My town, Duncan, Oklahoma has been cast into a national and international spotlight for a crime that did not have to be committed.

Tangueray No. 10 (A gin review)
Posted by Arctic Wolf on April 8, 2010
Oh my! The Rum Howler Blog has branched out again. This is my first attempt at a gin review. My plan is to review at least three different gins by summertime subjecting them to the rigors of my peculiar review methodology.
I want to caution my readers that Gin is not a primary alcoholic beverage of which I indulge. This means that my reviews of gin (and tequila for that matter) may more closely resemble fantasy than reality. However, I would rather fail in trying to write a worthy review than to be satisfied with where I am at and make no attempt to grow and branch out. (By the way I do not plan to fail!)
My method of reviewing any spirit is to discuss and score my enjoyment of the spirit. I am confident than an honest discussion of this enjoyment will lead to a worthwhile review.
So it is that we come to the first bottle of Gin which I will review, Tangueray No. 10. This is a premium quadruple distilled gin which sits at the top of the benchmark as far as Tangueray gin is concerned. Here is an excerpt from my review:
"Tangueray No. 10 gin is soft and remarkably approachable. Juniper berries lead out in front with hints of pine and spruce behind. My mouth tingles wherever the gin stops to rest which is probably caused by the higher than normal alcohol proof (94.6). I can taste a light orange sweetness akin to Triple Sec or Cointreau in the background. Floral notes drift in and out of the currents of my palate, as do other citrus flavours….
You may read the full review here….
Gin Review: Tangueray No. 10
Of course I have added a few "forrest approved" cocktails including my sumptuous Key Lime Gimlet!
Enjoy the review!

I would heartily recommend that you also try Martin Millers 8o proof gin, not cheap, but maybe somewhere between Hendrick's and Sapphire. It is quite simply the smoothest of the gins I've tried, so to my mind great value too.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Derek Webb 'I Was Wrong, I'm Sorry, I Love You' Released Yesterday
Derek Webb, former singer of Caedmon's Call and President of NoiseTrade music sharing website, released his new album, I Was Wrong, I'm Sorry & I Love You, yesterday.
The album is written as a reflective look back at his 20 years in music as well as 10 years since his first solo release. It is also the true follow up to that first record, She Must and Shall Go Free.
"The new album is very much connected to my first album, She Must and Shall Go Free, which came out a little more than 10 years ago and was the result of questions that I had about the church," he said to the Christian Post. "Having spent 10 years prior in Caedmon's Call and after years in the Christian culture, I found myself with a lot of questions about my role in the church. My first record was me trying to answer those questions."
Webb impressively handled all aspects of production, recording, and songwriting, and revealed lyric and acoustic videos every Tuesday leading up to the album's release.
On September 6, Webb will perform on the WGN Midday News as a preview to his "The Apology Tour," starting September 26.
Tickets will be sold in a unique format for the tour, with Webb opting to use a three-price system in the theme of the album. The "I WAS WRONG" admission (Ticket/Name Your Own Price), "I'M SORRY" ($12 ticket, Reserved Section Seating, $1 donation to Blood:Water Mission) and "I LOVE YOU" ($20 ticket, Group Q&A discussion, Autographed Tour Poster, Reserved Section Seating, $1 Donation to Blood:Water Mission).
"I'm going to spend some real time promoting the record. I'm going to get out on the road before the end of the year. I also am the President of Noisetrade and run that company, so that's about three days a week for me and part of my every day work that I do. I have two small kids and a wife. So that sounds like three or four full-time jobs right there," he said to CP.
