I've been to this particular discount theater before; I watched The Haunting of Molly Hartley and Changeling back-to-back and it only cost me like, two bucks. You have to buy your tickets at the concession stand, which means you get to stand behind the girl chatting away at the counter guy who's only listening to her bullshit in the off chance it'll increase his chance of finding out what it feels like to be inside her -- then eventually he'll notice you and charge you the $1 ticket fee + a $2 3D surcharge. What -- a 3D theatrical experience for three bucks?! Hot damn. Out-of-focus projections of scratchy film prints are the norm at these joints, but this place was showing Resident Evil: Afterlife in RealD 3D or whatever the fuck that shit's called. I'm assuming you've seen the previous 3 Resident Evil movies, as I have, so keep pace or don't. There be spoilers.
George A. Romero is right; when Zombie Armageddon arrives, it's gonna be us -- the people -- who are going to fuck it all up. But where he has it wrong is that it's not going to be because of class differences, or race differences, or the inability to forget that these monsters are no longer our friends & relatives and must be disposed with extreme prejudice. No, that's not what's going to lead to humanity's demise. You know what's gonna do it to us? No one's going to fucking agree on what to call them -- we're going to be too fucking busy having pissing matches over whether to call them zombies or infected or whatever the fuck you want to call them. While we fight over that, we're going to be too distracted to notice the army of Bad News slowly approaching us. Then it'll be too fuckin' late.
But it won't end there, because the zombies/infected/whatever are also going to be fighting amongst themselves on whether they should tear the living apart or eat them, and if they eat them, should they eat the flesh or the brains or both? And then some of the zombies/infected/whatever will be having arguments because one is shambling while the other is running and it's like Make Up Your Mind and What Kind Of Zombies Are We and I'm Not A Zombie, I'm Infected and The Fuck You Are, You're A Zombie and meanwhile you have the teleporting Fulci zombie laughing at all of them.
So, the movie. The world's been taken over by whatever you want to call those creatures, and in the meantime, the underground headquarters for Umbrella Corporation in Japan is under attack by a group of Milla Jovovich clones. I'm looking at all of these Millas in their black skintight ass-kicking uniforms, shooting/stabbing/kicking the shit out of people, and I'm thinking to myself that while dying really sucks and I don't look forward to it (not anymore, at least), if I had to go -- well, being killed by a bunch of scowling Milla Jovoviches wouldn't be a bad way to go, especially in the Resident Evil universe, where you're very likely to get eaten alive by a pack of zombies/infected/whatever. I'd rather that the last thing I see before moving on to the next world (or eternal darkness, depending on your beliefs) be a lineup of hot angry Millas (Milli?) aiming their blazing MP9's at me, not a pack of asshole zombies.
These Millas, they were created at the end of the 3rd Resident Evil, and I don't know if they have souls and I don't care, but they sure as fuck are the same as the original Milla in every other respect, right down to the mannerisms and even the supposedly tough/funny one-liners. They're as human as human can get, minus the whole God Created Me deal (or not, depending on your beliefs). Being human beings, I'm sure they have needs, these Millas. And every available man in this post-apocalyptic world is either a zombie, a bad guy, a S.T.A.R.S. member about to valiantly sacrifice himself for the greater good, or Mike Epps. Pickings be slim. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, uh, I'm sure that in between sparring and shooting and training for future bad guy ass-kickings, they probably got to know each other very well. At least in my cut of the movie, they would. And shut the fuck up about me being lonely, I'm just saying. We should see that shit, it would be beautiful.
It doesn't happen, though. They all get blown up by some fuckin' Chad in sunglasses and long coat. Wesker's the name of this fuckin' asshole and he's probably a Gay, that's why he blew them up, because you don't blow up Milla Jovovich X 10, you just don't -- what you do is call up a couple of your bros, bring out the booze and crank up the Journey, 'cause it's Party Time. The only awesome thing Wesker does is shoot one of his own men in the head for committing the cardinal sin of questioning an order. I love when Big Bads kill their own men, it shows how evil they are.
It turns out that the real Milla, she's still alive and she almost takes the motherfucker out but she fucks up by trying to pull some "Any last words?" bullshit and you KNOW how that shit fuckin' works. There's a brief scuffle and it ends with Wesker the Chad injecting Milla with some kind of serum that neutralizes the T-Virus cells inside her, and whatever the fuck it is, it ends up sapping poor Milla of all her super-abilities and telekinetic powers. It allows Wesker to not have to worry about her fucking up his plans for World Domination, but more importantly, it allows writer/producer/director Paul W.S. Anderson to not have to worry about explaining why Milla's character doesn't just use her superpowers to get out of the many jams she's going to end up in for the next 90 minutes.
Paul W.S. Anderson is also married to Milla, and he even tried ruining her by impregnating her, but what I was left thinking about while watching all the Milla clones get shot, stabbed and blown up was if this was just an excuse to watch his wife die a bunch of times. I mean, even the happiest couples have their disagreements and maybe watching Milla #6 end up a twitching bloody mess on the floor brought a smile to his face as he remembered the time Real Milla didn't let him hang out with his mates (he's a Brit) because she's a wife and that's what wives and girlfriends do -- not let you hang out with the homies unless they're along for the ride. I'm not bitter, Stacy. I'm not. I'm sure he and fellow on-screen-wife-killing director Stuart Gordon would have quite the chat over a couple of pints (Paul's buying).
Anyway, Milla flies a Zero plane from Japan to Alaska, in search of the previous film's survivors (they left for a supposed refuge paradise called "Arcadia"), but upon landing, she finds nobody except for Ali Larter (also from the previous film). Larter can't remember shit because of some mechanical spider hooked up to her chest, and immediately begins fighting Milla, grabbing each other and rolling around on the ground, causing my special parts to feel funny. Because she's Ali Larter and not Muhammed Ali, Larter gets knocked the fuck out and Milla takes her along for a ride on her Zero. Usually when I see Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter flying, it's in my dreams and it's usually without the aid of an airplane and their destination is the city of Me. But in this case, they're flying to Los Angeles for whatever reason. They end up landing on top of a prison and hook up with the survivors inside, which comprise of an asshole movie producer, his bitch-boy intern, a Brit aspiring actress, the token Mexican Played By A Spaniard, some bald guy who I thought was the sports guy from Frasier but wasn't, and Wentworth Miller (whose full name is Wentworth Earl Miller III but was changed from his original birth name, Sir Fancy Britches Britchardson the IV).
The prison survivors are disappointed to find out that Milla and Ali are not there to rescue them, but are probably happy to see that the girl/boy ratio just rose up and gave the dudes better odds. Not only that, but what fuckin' odds! It's the end of the world and there's only 3 women with them, and they're all hot. Fuckin' A. You'd think these girls would stick together, forming some Girl Power shit, but it's all a front. When one of them ends up getting chowed down by the monsters, a minute later, one of the survivor girls is cracking wise again. It's like the poor girl never existed. Yet, when one of the guys is presumed dead, this same chick who was making her fucking stupid one-liners, she immediately gets borderline-weepy, proving once again the 2nd eternal truth that Women Secretly Hate Each Other. (For the record, the 1st eternal truth is I Don't Know Shit About Women.)
I forgot to mention another survivor; he's a basketball star and he's a likable dude for an athlete -- he's more Shaq than Kobe. He escorts Milla to the shower room and tells her that the prison has running water (even though it's cold) and I think this is probably his way of hinting to her that while she might look like Milla Jovovich, she currently smells like present-day Michael Jackson. I mean, she puts enough thought into her appearance to continue using make-up and get her hair done, but it looks like she only changes outfits between films. We're talking years here. That's something that I always think about when I watch these post-apocalyptic films, is how bad everyone must smell in these worlds. The survivors are not the lucky ones, if you ask me.
Anyway, zombie/monster/Chad nastiness ensues, most of it in slow-motion and set to a driving tomandandy score. In addition to Wesker the Chad and the zombies, there's also these scary
dudes with tentacle maws who like to burrow through walls and floor so
they can get at you. If they don't get you, there's also a couple of
those monster dogs that split open to reveal more teeth. Every monster
in this movie has teeth to spare; there are jaws within their jaws.
There's also this creepy giant dude with a makeshift axe/hammer deal;
he's like 10 feet tall and doesn't talk and I don't even think you see
his face in the entire movie. I wonder if Anderson forgot that he was
making a Resident Evil movie and ended up dipping his toe into Silent
Hill waters with that motherfucker, but it turns out that the creepy
giant is an actual Resident Evil character. I don't know which game he
was in, because I'm only familiar with the 1st one and part of the 2nd.
What can I say, I was more into movies than video games at that point. I
don't even know how true these movies are to the video games anymore,
and I don't know if it even matters, because people are watching the
shit out of them either way.
I remember looking up Army of Darkness in John Landis-lookalike Leonard Maltin's movie review guide; he complained that the movie became dull in between the set-pieces, which saddened me because it meant that Leonard Maltin was smoking crack. This is why when I met him in person at the American Cinematheque, I looked at him with pity as he happily held the door open for me as we made our way into a screening of Los Angeles Plays Itself. I regret not turning that screening into an intervention. Anyway, I bring up that review because I kinda feel the same way about the non-action stuff in this movie. If there were any fucks to give during the dialogue/character scenes, I couldn't find them. Thankfully, there's enough action to balance that shit out in the movie's favor.
This entry is a lot more Matrix-y than the previous films, with all
the slow-mo and the 360-degree freeze-frame shit and some of the
characters pulls some Agent Smith bullet-dodging shit. Now that I think
about it, maybe the Resident Evil universe takes place in the
Matrix. That would be a mind-blower. It amuses me to think that some 10-year-old kid (there was a
little girl with her cholo father in the audience) is going to watch
this movie, have his-or-her world rocked by it, and then years later
he-or-she is gonna come across The Matrix (which he-or-she has never
seen), pop it in, watch it, and then go "It was all right". What was
Totally Fucking Awesome to you or me is going to be merely OK to
him-or-her. I know this because it's happened to me with other classics I
finally got around to, after having grown up watching the imitators and
the inspired-bys.
Like the previous Resident Evils, all the going-ons are
happened-befores -- we've seen some of these plot elements and scenarios
in other movies of similar genre. Having said that, I had lots of fun
with it. Sure, I've seen a hot chick in a leather outfit jump backwards out of a
glass window and fall a great height while firing two automatic weapons
before -- but this time it's two hot chicks, and they're both Milla
Jovovich. The Resident Evil flicks were never the most original, or even
the least original, but they're good fast times. Shit, the fuckin'
games they're based on aren't exactly reinventions of the wheel,
Some of the action scenes feel like they were directed by Zack Snyder
and The Wachowski Brother & Sister, and since I like those guys (and
girl) and it's done well, I was cool with that. It's when someone tries
aping a motherfucker's style and fails miserably at it that I have
issues. P.W.S. Anderson's a ripoff artist, but he's a pretty good one. His movies have always been a decent night of entertainment for me, so I've no reason to hate on the guy -- except for Soldier, where Kurt Russell wins the EFC Award for Best Performance in a Piece-Of-Shit. I know it sounds weird to applaud a filmmaker for being adequate, but I feel a need to do so because this dude is straight-up HATED by so many. Don't know why, unless all the hate is for Soldier.
I'll go you one further -- I don't get the Uwe Boll hatred either. Yeah, I said that shit. I've seen, like, 3 of his movies before I learned my lesson, but while I didn't like them, I didn't think they were affronts to the artistry of cinema. Maybe it's because he made his Bad Filmmaker bones with video game movies, which are a risky endeavor unto themselves. If there's two things I've learned in this world, it's that you don't piss off a woman (sorry, Stacy) and you don't make a video game movie, because Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned or a geek disappointed. Maybe it's because his shit is so mediocre, maybe that's a bigger crime than outright incompetence; this would also explain why people happily worship Ed Wood and Tommy Wiseau, while wanting to disappear Boll and his whole family off the face of the Earth.
If people felt that way about me, I'd punish the world by making bad taste movies about fat girls and Auschwitz too; might as well play the Asshole card, which I suspect is Boll's game nowadays. This Kraut motherfucker is happily going to play the I'm A Shit Filmmaker Who Doesn't Give A Fuck part for as long as his name continues to be met with boos. And don't give me this shit about purposely making movies that suck because of some tax-shelter bullshit as being a reason to hate the guy. Unless you work for the German government or pay German taxes, you have no dog in that fight. Did you know Uwe Boll stole a fuckin' 35mm movie camera from a film school -- probably fucking over an eager film student in the process -- to make a movie? No? Well, that's because it wasn't Uwe Boll, it was Werner Herzog who did that shit. But I bet if you thought it was Boll, you were all like What A Fucking Asshole. There's a point in here somewhere, go look for it, I'm too lazy to make one.
In conclusion, I want to play video games and smoke pot with a bunch of Milla Jovovich clones.

what i love about trips whit my buddies is that you learn somthin new. or at least a twist on somethin you already knew. when you are consuming tall cans, while you are camping "real talk" comes out. don't worry when i get some photos from the trip i will share some more stories. but for now you need to remember, "real talk"......thanks niko for getting this stuck in a lot of peoples brain.

Sunday, September 21, 2008
so last night i watched a iron maiden concert on vh1 classic from rio in 99' and it ruled. so then i remembered this video i ran across. these kids kick ass. i only hope that my kids, will soon follow. but check the little girl in front, she reminds me of my niece.
Saturday, September 20, 2008
well i guess it's time to roll on another trip which means many spots and tall cans shall get wrecked. which made me think there are some basic... silent, but understood rules of the road. cuz we all know there is nothin worse than bein on a trip with some idiots that don't get it. the main reason i like headin out on the road is, i get to hang with some of my friends that i wouldn't normally get to skate with and we get to skate some cool spots and crack some cold ones. so here are the rules. all of these apply unless you are sam king, then no rules apply.
----SHOTGUN IS CALLED NOT GIVIN. once you are headin back to the vehicle then shotgun may be called. but remember riding shotgun means you are part d.j. and map reader.
----DO NOT PACK MORE THAN WHAT WILL FIT IN A BACK PACK. if there are a lot of people goin. space is very limited. and you got to remember that the camera guy and filmer are gonna have a lot of shit as well.
----IF YOU ARE A BAD DRINKER STAY AT HOME. there is nothin worse than being out in the middle of nowhere with some asshole pukin all over the place and then blacking out. so if becoming a beer-wizard sounds cool to you, but a 6 pack will knock you out. then keep your sorry ass home cuz i had to clean up shit and puke from my two kids and i don't intend to do it for you.
----IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY THEN BRING PRODUCT TO SELL. as you know most skaters are poor and unless you are on a trip with the "shec's" then chances are you gotta cover your beer tab. take it from me there have been many trips where i had to sell shit so i could eat. and if you try to make a 20 dollar a day tab, chances are you will survive.
----SKATE EVERY SPOT. this don't mean you gotta huck your carcass down a 15 stair. try to find somethin else there to film on. who knows you might get stoked on somethin you found other than what everyone else is riding. and there is always gonna be that one spot that you can't do nothin on, so feel free to drink a brew an hold a flash cuz bgp's with a tall can give that footy some extra flair.
-----BRING GOOD MUSIC. nothin can get a session heated like some 80's metal.
----DO NOT LET CHALKER SMOKE ANY TYPE OF WEED. cuz according to c-murda it turns me into a little giggly ass girl.
----GO DAGGER STYLE. this means sleep where ever. bring a sleeping bag and camp under the stars. cuz unless your sponsor is payin for a room, that shit is expensive. don't be afraid to get dirty.
----I HAVE RUN OUT OF SHIT. basically don't be a douche. keep it cool. have a good time. get some good footy, and hopefully have some chix flash you. make new friends and reconnect with old ones. because skateboarding is one of the best things ever.
Sunday, September 14, 2008
what i love about cleaning out old areas, is that you find hidden gems. it's not that they were ever lost. but somehow always gets found. and more importantly proof to my ol' lady that i am capable of shooting a photo. i found a fisheye lens for a video camera in the glovebox, and shot it on a old cannon elf. ok. enough of the logistics here is the story. this was taken on a trip back from seattle while filmin and hangin with the legendary big poppa aka C-MURDA. its adam bulger drivin. chalker at shotgun, and good ol' brian henderson in the back. what i love about this photo is you can see the entire inside of bulgers car. and make sure you look for brian in the back.... but what you cannot see is that moments after this i ripped the hugest, smelliest farts. and if you know me then you know the smell. anyways hendo is passed out, with his mouth wide open just gulping down mouthfuls of my methane madness. me and bulger are laughin so hard we cannot believe brian is still asleep. i think i might have told brian this, but now there is photo proof for those who don't believe. and i will try to find some photos or video of another time we went up with jeff "pizza chief" henderson, ryan "zappy" zapaltas, tony "manfreak" manfre, adam "toebock" crew, and eric "mia" sweet. cuz if i find somethin from these other trips up there be on the lookout. more random tales.
Saturday, September 13, 2008
-----so saturday hits and i am trying to ge some fools over to the beer-muda to skate. and trying to get a filmer so i can log some footy for the video. well long story short. no filmer and some of my scum ass buddys show........ well break out the dad cam, and here you go. oh yeah and we call em one eye wilie, cuz he got shot in the eye as a kid. also willie i would like to thank you for the hip kickflip challenge. cuz my back really hurts right now.
Monday, September 8, 2008
-----so sunday started out like any other sunday. till my vacuum broke. so me and my lady head to target to get one. so lohne calls me to go check a couple of spots. nextthing you know we are headin out to sebastopol to this church that has a bunch of jersey barriers. these are the real deal, no quick crete' for added tranny. lohne gets his back truck up on the shit, and i am getting into wallie boardslides. well as this is goin on i see this guy pop out, looks at us and makes a phone call. can you guess who it was to? well the local law showed up and gave us the boot. so we went to meet some guys over at the skatepark, and head out to the next spot. so danny says he knows about this pool in windsor to hit up. so i hop in lohne's truck and get some road sodas and head over to the pool. we got a god crew and good times to follow. the crew is as follows lohne, chalker, rameriez, koogle, tim, zeke. and ian. oh yeah lets not forget evan and even johnny "grape smuggler" was there. all i can say is there is nothin like skateboarding somethin that wasn't made for skating, with all your friends, havin a cool one. shit, everyone was havin a good time. everyone carved the light but me and grape smuggler. i ended up riding across the light, and grape smuggler was gettin close. after about an hour some dude from the property spots us and we all know were done for. so we all take our last runs, and bounce. luckily for tim, zeke and forest they bailed 5 minutes earlier. so ian is the first the bail the property guy in the golf cart is blocking the entrance. next thing you know sonoma county's finest show up. they got ian at the entrance, and we see what is goin on and we wait. next thing you know the officer is on the gas headin right for us. he gets out and tells us to whip out our i.d.'s he looks right at me and says "what are you smilin for" and i reply " gettin in trouble for skateboarding an abandoned pool" he thought i was high. but then he turns to rameriez and says "have you been smoking marijuana?" so lohne laughed and got sent to the front of the car. and next thing you know the cop has the flashlight in rameriez's eyes. this shit was gettin outta hand. cuz we were legit. no one had anything illegal and they had nothin on us. so they finally told us "next time you are goin to jail" we finally get our asses off the hot hood and leave. so me and lohne pack it up and head back to my pad. on the way we discuss why the fukk do cops seem to give the older guys a guilt trip. one of the cops told lohne to act 33 which we both thought was funny. what the fukk are you supposed to get fat and americanized at 30? fools don't get it. i can't wait till me and lohne are 50 and still gettin harassed. at least we didn't conform do some status which is judged by some preordained society. skateboarders can go to the grave knowin they lived life there own way. so the bottom line is if you got a chance to skate somethin that tis gonna be short lived, hop on the bus...and don't be afraid to skate anything that pops up. cuz a true skater will ride anything. cuz if you are only skating one type of terrain, you arn't gonna get it. =======skate and destroy========
Saturday, September 6, 2008
-----today i read that van wastell passed on. life sucks. this kid had more style than all these goons that call themselves pro's. so grab a tall and raise it in the air. here's to you van!
Wednesday, September 3, 2008
so on sunday me and louda go scoot around for a couple of hours to stretch the ol' legs and have a little fun. so louda falls on his hand and stretches it out a little. he has a little pain and it stiffens up. no worries right? just take it easy for a couple of weeks and all will be fine. well that is a skaters attitude towards it. so louda goes into work just like any other day. and his boss calls him in the office and gives him the ol' you know you might wanna stop skateboarding you are not gettin any younger lecture, and if you wanna have some kinda career you need to take a mature standpoint. WHAT THE FUCK? you just don't stop skateboarding. the only way you stop if is the grim reaper snakes you on your last run.and this was not only louda. my buddy beau rolled his ankle at the glory hole, and i work with his dad and he is tellin me that he is gettin to old to skate. which is funny comin from a guy who has a world series softball ring, you would think he wouldunderstand......skateboarding is not baseball where you break your arm and hang it up. the shit is in your soul. when espn stops the coverage then the true riders will emerge. most of my friends work a 9 to 5 and still find the time to rip. this shit pisses me off. most will never know the feeling of walking out your front door and being able to be one with your surroundings. you cant just walk out the front door and play golf? so i guess what i am trying to say if you havent skated for more that 10 years than you won't understand. and if you have then tell the world to suck it! yah i have had a couple of beers and this sounds like a rant. but if you don't skate then shut the fukk up and die from your preinduced bullshit cuz you won't get it. and at least me and my buddies have traveled and seen the world as it really is. not that shit on the hills or the O.C. so get a board and become a road warrior..... and by the way the photo is italian for roll forever.

Being an Interista Down Under
The Guiseppe Meazza Stadium, Milan. Sunday the 7th of October. Internazionale are the visitors at their home ground to bitter city rivals AC Milan. The ultras from both the Curva Nord and Curva Sud have perfectly choreographed routines to cheer on their respective sides. They are loud, proud and extremely volatile towards supporters of the opposing club. For other fans packing the stadium, the air is electric. Despite not being a sellout, the pre-match atmosphere is lively and boisterous. Flags, banners and jerseys shout out to the entire world that each fan is there for and whom they wish to see decimated after the next 90 minutes. There are few places in the world right now that are as alive as this one.
Travel 13,650 kilometres to a small, quiet pocket of the world. Perth, Western Australia. It's 2:45 in the morning and you can't even hear the wind outside. It's dead still, dead quiet. The promise of daybreak is still hours away, and yet, there is one house out in the suburbs of this city where the day has already begun, only due to the events happening on the other side of the world.
Being a supporter of a football club is something special. You are part of a community, nay, a society, where you share camaraderie, the joy of winning, the pain of losing and the emptiness of a draw with every single other supporter. However, this must be nothing compared to being a supporter of a club from THE CITY YOU LIVE IN. It must be something special, having a shared bond of heritage with that club. Almost all professional football clubs in Europe have a deep history. Some have a shorter history than others, but are no less special. Some have cabinets full of silverware, but are still no greater than some others. The feeling of growing up in and living in the same city of the club you support must be a brilliant experience.
Then, if you're not living in the same city, living in Europe, where you are able to travel to these games with much more ease. Where you have a greater knowledge of the club and their history because football is so engrained in European culture, that you cannot escape it, despite living in another country. This is still a great experience. Or so I'd imagine so.
Then, there is life in Australia, where Football means a completely different sport and where the word hooligan is synonymous with 'soccer'. It's a country that, despite having its own rich and deep history of the beautiful game, the game is kept under wraps by the mainstream media. It's a country where teams such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only teams worth a mention outside of its own domestic league (which is in its infancy, but still proving to be a great competition).
For a supporter of Internazionale, living in Australia can be a daily struggle. Even in an information age where social networks and instant media practices are prevalent, it is difficult to connect with many others who bare the same love for my club. Sure, in the time that I have used social networking to connect with other fans of Inter, I have been able to 'meet' other local supporters of the nerazzurri, and it's fantastic, but it is still lacking the community feel.
It wasn't until I found a twitter user named Don Nerazzurri, that I truly felt like part of this community of Inter supporters. Knowing that there were so many of us, physically unconnected from the great city of Milan, yet still with the same passion for the club, all with our own back stories of how we became supporters.
However, to be a football supporter, let alone an Inter supporter in Australia, can sometimes be a swim against the current. If you aren't actively keeping up to date with what is going on, then you fall very far behind. You see, we aren't immersed in news about football and our great club the way Italy and Europe is. We make the best of it. Starting up local groups like Inter Club Perth is one way. On a site like Facebook, it exists to connect Inter fans from my city, yet it is still not big enough or structured enough to warrant any plans in the near future for us to all get together. Yet, at the same time, just having a group like this, and knowing that there are other equally, if not more, passionate supporters in my own city is very reassuring.
My hope is that one day, and this will be very far away, football can become much bigger in my country. In the meantime, I believe it is an Inter fan's duty to spread the word of our club. This is the reason why I wear my jersey with pride absolutely everywhere I go. Sure it makes my wife upset that I'm often wearing the same thing, or it might be inappropriate to wear on certain occasions, but for every person out there wearing a Milan jersey, or a Man Utd jersey, or a Real Madrid jersey, I'll be there wearing the nerazzurri – because people deserve to know of the greatest club in the world and they surely deserve to know that other clubs exist beyond what the mainstream media throw in their faces as football 'tokens'.
Then I think to myself, so many miles away, yet the reach of this club is so great that it made me a supporter. No, not just a supporter; someone who is dead passionate about the club and who lives and breathes their colours. The reach of a great club should never be underestimated. So I only hope that I can be equally as passionate about winning over other local football fans., as I am about my support, because if our great club can reach me thousands of miles away, then I can definitely reach those within my own city.
Being a fan of Inter in Australia has its negatives, but there are so many positives that we fail to see sometimes. Like as I mentioned earlier, the almost fresh slate that we have with fans of football that don't yet have a club they are truly passionate about. It's interesting when I'm out and I see people wearing jerseys of the big clubs in Europe. Three years ago I was coaching and Under 16's side of a small club from the inner suburbs. The team was struggling, undermanned and under-skilled. Yet the boys loved their football. They loved the game. Yet none of them really supported any clubs, at least not with any real interest anyway. We had one young man who was quite tall. He was of average ability, nothing to write home about, but he loved the game. He always wore a Barcelona jersey. I remember asking him so many questions about the club, questions that he couldn't answer. I used to try to discuss with him what was happening at the club during the transfer window – he seemed to be very unaware of what was going on, even who was currently on the roster apart from Messi and Xavi.
This is the kind of football fan that I can win over in my own country. Without much of a connection to a club that is only supported part-time, it is easy to show the greatness of Inter Milan, a club with such a history, such character and emotion. What attracted me to Inter in the first place was the overall charm of the club and its character. This is something that the best marketing campaign in the world simply cannot achieve. Inter's history and people make it what it is; a great club.
So now begins a personal journey of mine – expand Inter Club Perth, win over the undecided football fans, and paint my city in Black and Blue.

I know how It is and I am a die hard inter supporter from Sydney, everyday I either go to goal.com, fedenerazzurra, inter.it, or nerazzurri world to get some new news on my champions 😀 and whenever they play I always stream their games through the internet,
Im proud inter supporter and im the only one in my whole family other than 2 other cousins, because everyone else either goes for juve or ac milan. They tell me to change but I tell them my blood is black and blue hahahaha.
Bet yet sometimes from this I find it hard to talk anyone else about it because there are no inter clubs in sydney ( I hope they start one) nor are there many people that I know who are as passionate for inter as I am, but I know as soon as jump onto the internet and go onto the above websites I know that I am with my nerazzurri brothers and sisters 😀 so thank you don nerazzurri, michael from fedenerazzurra and goal.com for allowing me and many inter fans outside italy to be able to share this inter experience 😀 ❤
wow I can totally relate to this article and the comment! I'm a crazy inter fan from south west sydney and there is not one person I know who supports inter. The only friend I have that actually follows serie a is a milan supporter so our conversations are usually debates. To be honest, I think meeting another inter supporter will be so weird for me because I have always kept my emotions and ideas on inter to myself for so long. Hopefully that can all change!
Hey I am an Inter supporter from Sydney as well. In fact, I am a die-hard Interista. I will get up early, stay up late and lose sleep entirely for Inter if I have to, and I will do it while juggling a busy uni life. I also find it difficult to find someone who supports a club outside of the EPL, and even then, a supporter of a team other than Barcelona or Real Madrid. Sometimes I do wonder what it would be like to be part of a group of Inter fans here in Sydney. But I will say one thing, despite no such groups existing, I am always hoping to run into another Inter fan, always. Since it is very unlikely to do it in person, I resort to social media like this and boy, I don't regret it one bit. Thank you to all that keep us updated here down under.
Hey Guys,
Found your site through the Inter blog on ESPN. I'm from New Jersey in the United States. I live about an hour from New York City. I've been a die hard Inter fan since the 97-98 season. Ronaldo's rookie season. The reason aside from my Uncle being a supporter that I fell in love with the Nerazzuri. I'm of Italian ancestry and my family isn't even from Milan. They came from the Campania region so Napoli,Salernitana or Avellino would have been my logical choice but since they don't like soccer I sided with my Uncle. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only Inter fan in the world. None of my friends or family except my Uncle even like football or soccer,as it's called in the US. I'm always wearing something Inter be it a jersey,sweatshirt,polo. My wife thinks I'm crazy and I should have been born in Italy or South America lol, but deep down she likes Inter too. I even have my 2year old daughter watching the games with me. She even has her own Inter kit. The reason I'm writing is just to share my story of being a die hard Inter fan. Keep up the good work and looking forward to reading more from your blog and site.
Yeah I love talking to anyone that's an Inter fan since me and my Uncle are the only ones into them. Any chance I get I read every english news article or site dedicated to our beloved Inter. Is it easy to watch their matches on TV in Australia? We kinda get spoiled over here in the States. Bein Sport just started over here and it's a great soccer channel. They cover Serie A,La Liga,Ligue 1, CONMEBOL and CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers. As I said before keep up the good work.
FORZA Interisti!!!!!
Hey ch4wordpress,
Are you from the US? I just switched from cable to Satellite this season and noticed you get more for your money with directv.
Don, i like your comment in Goal.com… Salute…
Hey guys, glad to read all your responses to my article!
As far as Football on television in Australia goes, there isn't really anything free-to-air right now. Next year, our domestic league, The A-League will finally have a few matches live on free tv.
Apart from that, SBS (special broadcast system) is a channel in Australia that has been around since the early 80's and it is basically 90% foreign programming. Back in the 90's they had a dedicated Serie A highlights show and even showed some matches. Today they only have exclusive rights to all World Cup matches (very good coverage) and the UCL and Europa League as well as many international qualifiers and friendlies from around the world.
Unless you have pay tv over here, then you won't get much else. A subscription to RAI is the only way to see any live Serie A. All you can get on pay tv over here is EPL and sometimes the league one playoffs, but even those are scarce these days.

Developing A Preschool Baptism Sunday School Lesson Plan
Sunday School Baptism Lesson
According to the author Anne Adams, "John the Baptist helped prepare the way for the ministry of Jesus. He baptized people in the Jordan River as a sign God was washing them of their sins." In this baptism Sunday school lesson plan, preschoolers hear the story of John the Baptist and Jesus. This Sunday school lesson is age appropriate for preschoolers and takes about 45 minutes to complete. It can be taught as presented here or modified to fit any church curriculum. A supply list is included for planning purposes. [caption id="attachment_130493" align="aligncenter" width="872"] The Baptism of Christ by Leonardo da Vinci[/caption] The following educational objectives are met by this Sunday school lesson:
- Learning what baptism is
- Showing how baptism is performed
- Explaining the requirements for baptism
Here is a Sunday school materials list for the story of Jesus' baptism.
- Bible or text of Matthew 3:1-7 and 13-16, and Luke 3:8-16
- Markers or crayons
- Wiggle eyes
- Tissue paper
- Tape, glue, or stapler
- Dove craft template and instruction sheet
- Plastic toy figure of a man
- Small tub of water
Teacher's note: Baptismal requirements vary from denomination to denomination, as does the preferred method. This lesson is designed around the information found in Acts 8:36-39. Briefly, a eunuch asked Phillip what he needed to do to be baptized, and Philip replied that he needed to believe in Jesus. This lesson teaches water baptism of a person who is old enough to understand and confess belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
Background Information on John the Baptist and Baptism
Here are some fun facts to help preschoolers understand the story better.
- Jesus and John were cousins.
- John was a prophet; God chose him to tell people that Jesus was coming as their savior.
- The word baptize comes from the Greek word baptizo, and most Bible scholars agree it means to dip, immerse, or submerge an object or person.
- John was eccentric – he dressed in camel hair garments and ate locusts and honey.
These facts can be written on a whiteboard or simply used conversationally during the story portion of the lesson.
Teaching About Baptism Using Jesus' Example
Read or tell the story found in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Ask the children if they have ever seen anyone baptized, and then explain the process: a person confesses their belief in Jesus, they are gently immersed in water, and carefully lifted up again. They cover or hold their nose to prevent water from entering. Take the plastic figure and immerse it into the small tub of water, and then lift it up. Let the children take turns pretending to perform a baptism while asking them these discussion questions:
- How many of you have ever seen someone being baptized?
- How many of you have been baptized?
- Why did Jesus get baptized?
- What does a person need to do to be baptized?
- What happened when Jesus came up out of the water?
- What did the voice from heaven say?
The key point to stress is that baptism is not required for salvation, it is merely an act of obedience in honor of the example set by Jesus.
Flying Dove Bible Craft Activity
Print enough copies of the flying dove template for each student. If time permits, the teacher can let the preschoolers cut out the doves, but if time is scarce, the templates can be cut out prior to class. Let students decorate the birds as they wish, and draw or glue an eye in the appropriate place. Follow the directions on the template sheet to finish the craft. By the end of this baptism Sunday school lesson, the children understand the concept of baptism and how it fits into the Christian life. They learned fun facts about Jesus and John the Baptist, and made a hands-on craft project. Click here for more Sunday school lesson plans and activities.

Beginning April 1, potential borrowers with ongoing credit disputes totaling more than $1,000 will not be able to get a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration.
The rule marks a significant belt-tightening at the FHA whereas the adminstration earlier held no such requirement that disputed credit accounts needed to be paid off. Before this rule, a direct endorsement underwriter could determine if any of the borrower's outstanding debts should impact the approval of the FHA-backed mortgage.
After April 1, the borrower must either pay off the outstanding balance on these collections accounts or document a payment arrangement that the lender must then submit to the FHA before closing. The payment arrangement will be counted into the debt-to-income ratio for the new home loan.
Jeremy Radack, a real estate attorney who helps builders in Houston get buyers financed, expects between a 33% and a 50% reduction in FHA originations this year because so many borrowers in the 650 to 680 FICO score range have a past due collections account.
"Take the 750 borrower with a medical collection outstanding from five years ago when they were in college for $5,000. Is that really a bad loan? I don't think FHA looked at how much of their performing borrowers have collections accounts," Radack said. "There are so many other things they could do to mitigate risks to the fund."
The rule excludes disputed accounts from more than two years ago, along with those related to theft. But the lender must document an identity theft or police report on the fraudulent charges.
The unintentional consequences could be severe for those still originating mortgages.
"We expect this revision will certainly kick some buyers out of the marketplace, and we're in ongoing efforts to quantify how extreme the impact will be," said Lisa Jackson, senior vice president of research at John Burns Real Estate Consulting. "We did a quick sample of some of our builder clients focused on the entry level. They cited impact to varying degrees, with one reporting the new rule would disqualify 60% to 84% of his buyers currently under contract at specific communities."
An FHA spokesman said the rule was designed as another protection for the FHA emergency fund. The fund levels slipped to 0.2% of at-risk insurance last year, well below the 2% mandated by Congress. The FHA will raise insurance premiums on April 1 as well to boost the fund by $1 billion.
"When performing loan-level reviews of FHA loans, we found that many borrowers with mortgage payment delinquencies had prior credit deficiencies including unpaid collections and unresolved disputed accounts prior to the approval of their loan," the spokesman said. "This change was made to eliminate this layer of risk to FHA-insured loans and help protect our insurance fund."
Because of the FHA insurance premium raises to 1.75%, Radack expects the more qualified borrowers to go to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans, which have smaller charges for private market insurance premiums.
"FHA is not going to be in my vocabulary," Radack said.

On 11 June, Kaspersky Lab blogger Roman Unuchek warned that a new ransomware variant of the Svpeng banking Trojan is currently targeting users in the UK, UK, Switzerland, Germany, India and Russia, while focusing its attacks mainly in the US.
It follows his announcement two days earlier that the 'Pletor' Android ransomware was out in the wild and had infected more than 2,000 systems in 13 countries, mainly in the former USSR.
Meanwhile, on 4 and 9 June, researchers at ESET and Symantec confirmed the appearance of a third threat, the Simplocker file-encrypting ransomware, aimed at Russian-speaking Android device owners.
Researchers say this marks the first time that file-encrypting ransomware has appeared on the Android platform, whose vulnerability is increasingly attracting malware authors. Svpeng is also the first such ransomware attack on UK users, according to David Emm, senior security researcher at Kaspersky Lab.
He told SCMagazineUK.com by email: "It's the first time we've seen mobile ransomware targeting the UK specifically. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting smartphones, eager to capitalise on the growing use of these devices for personal and business use – hence the exponential growth in mobile malware."
Kaspersky was not able to confirm the number of UK infections at time of writing.
Svpeng is described as "typical ransomware" by Unuchek in his blog. But he warns it is likely to evolve to start stealing users' banking credentials as well.
Once it has been downloaded, Svpeng purports to scan the phone, and then flashes up a fake FBI message saying it has found pornographic content. It blocks the phone and demands a £118 payment to unblock it. It also displays a photo of the user taken by the phone's front camera.
"The creators of the Trojan accept MoneyPak vouchers for the ransom payments," Unuchek said.
Svpeng currently blocks the whole mobile device but has the capability to simply encrypt user data.
It also checks whether the device has mobile apps from several major US banks and payment companies – including American Express, Citibank and Chase – and sends the result back to its command server.
This paves the way for Svpeng to go back to its original use, Unuchek said: "Considering that Svpeng is, first and foremost, a banking Trojan, we can expect to see attacks on the clients of these banks who use mobile apps to manage their accounts."
Explaining why Svpeng and the other ransomware campaigns are targeting Android, Emm added: "Cybercriminals, like electricity, follow the path of least resistance – and that's Android currently. Google has taken an open, flexible approach – good for manufacturers, mobile networks and customers alike. But it also provides scope for cyber criminals to develop malicious apps."
Dave Hartley, a principal consultant with UK-based cyber security firm MWR InfoSecurity, agreed that Android devices are so vulnerable that these "unsophisticated" ransomware campaigns are able to succeed.
He told SCMagazineUK.com: "MWR has sought to raise awareness of the fact that exploitable weaknesses and vulnerabilities exist in the latest and greatest offerings from Android mobile device manufacturers, which could be abused by sophisticated malware and/or motivated attackers to take full control of devices, without requiring user interaction.
"The current campaigns seem to be reasonably successful without having to try very hard at all. Should the manufacturers, vendors, OEMs etc not address the issues highlighted by researchers, in the future and as more users become savvy to the risks they face, we may see more sophisticated measures employed. They are not required as of now."
Asked what users and security professionals can do to protect themselves, Hartley said: "By default, Google's Android will stop users installing applications other than those that have passed through their marketplace. This malware required the user to have accepted the risk of installing unverified software, meaning it's more difficult to become infected with this malware than on a desktop PC.
"So far, malware hasn't had to try very hard to get itself installed, because users aren't aware of the risks. The best protection is, as with desktops, to be aware of the risks, make good judgments when installing software and always review the requested permissions."
Emm advised: "The key is to ensure that mobile devices are managed in the same way as other end points. This includes anti-malware protection, application control and backup of important data stored on the device."
Figures from F-Secure in March show while the Android platform has 87 percent of the global smartphone market, it attracts 97 percent of all mobile malware.

Create the perfect Word Blanket for your Mom! Here are 8 ideas for you!
For those lucky enough to have amazing mothers, Mother's Day is a great day to recognize what they mean to your life.
Unfortunately, I lost my Mom in 2017 but there isn't a day that goes by without thinking about her and feeling grateful for the impact she had on my life and my children and their children.
I design and print incredibly soft throw blankets with words and images. They are a popular gift for Mother's Day so I thought I would provide some unique ideas for your Mom!
You can even write your own words, from your heart and I'll design and print them on a blanket for you!
I create a special Mother's Day blanket every year. This year I included a beautiful rose image that my friend Donna created with pencil crayons. The word "MOM" is filled with watercolor flowers.
My customers always have amazing ideas, and one of my favorite customers, Bari, requested a design where we added a photograph behind the word "Mom". I thought I would try it out and added a photograph of my daughter, Farrah, my Mom and me. I think it is pretty amazing!
Time to show some gratitude – this blanket highlights all the reasons you are grateful for your Mom. You can make it 100% personal!! She will be SO happy, I can promise you that!
The bond between Mother & Daughter can be an incredibly strong one. I think that is why this blanket is one of the most popular of our Mom blankets.
This is a cute one for new Mom's. A blanket for Me and Mom! I absolutely love the font – it includes little red hearts on some of the letters. The hearts color can be changed to whatever you like (except white)!
Another great idea for a new Mom. Becoming a Mom is a big adjustment!!
A wonderful young man wrote these words for his Mom. What an amazing message!
And we cannot forget about Grandma!!!! I love you Grandma because…. As with all of our blankets, the words can be customized to suit the unique relationship between Grandma and Grandchild!!
It is a lot of fun to ask your children why they love their Grandma. Sara's granddaughters came up with their list! Love it!
Sadly, some Moms have lost their children. This blanket is a gift for moments of grief… This blanket was created for the loss of a child through miscarriage, born still, or illness. It is meant to be from a mother's child.
And for those who have lost our Moms and may be finding this day especially difficult….
I wrote more about this in this blog post.
My grandchildren and I spend hours drawing and coloring. You can be sure I am really excited about that. For years I seemed to be the only one in my family circle that enjoyed being creative!!! These paintings mean a lot to us Moms. In fact, when my Grandmother passed away, my children's artwork was still taped to her fridge and they were in their 20's by that time.
My granddaughter drew this picture when she was only 3 and it almost looks exactly the way I initial everything – the "d" is perfect! I framed it and it hangs in my living room.
If you scan your child's artwork, I can print it on a throw blanket for you. Or do you have a cherished handwritten note or letter from Mom? Scan it and I can also print it on a throw blanket for you.
Do you have a favorite quote for your Mom? Please share – we would love to hear it!
Remembering Mom this Mother's Day…

|The Case for a non-stop flight between Dhaka and New York
|Saturday, 22 August 2009
Having read the recent article in the Financial Express dated 14th August about Biman's resumption of its Dhaka-New York flights, I have a few comments to make and some questions to ask publicly to the CEO of Bangladesh's national flag carrier. Firstly, as a north-America resident of Bangladeshi roots I am delighted to hear the news because it can cut my journey from 24+ hours down to 16 hours. Secondly as a well wisher of the ailing carrier, I look forward to this becoming a profitable route. Thirdly, I question why the flight has to make a stop on-route to Dhaka from New York based on both technical and business reasons.
However, there are some assumptions I need to make to justify my thoughts and I leave it up to the experts in your readership to judge the fairness thereof. The article claims that there are some 200,000 Bangladeshis residing in the United States; let's add another 50,000 to cover those who live in Canada. If we assume about 90% of these folks travel to Bangladesh at least once every two years, and 75% of them live east of the Texas-Ontario diagonal and are therefore likely to fly on the JFK-DAC route. This brings the total number of such customers to 168,750. In other words, there are 660+ people who travel between Dhaka and New York every calendar day.
The current cost of an average economy class return ticket from this region (Toronto, New York, Washington DC etc.,) on Etihad, Emirates and Kuwait Airways to Dhaka ranges from $1,200 to $1,400 (Tk 86,000). This is equivalent to $650 one way (actual o/w fares are in excess of $750). Therefore, the gross-earning for the airline operator per o/w flight with 231 passengers is $150,150. Interestingly, Biman claims they made a loss of Tk 75 Lakh ($107,142) per New York – Dhaka flight using a full load of 274 customers in their ancient DC 10-30s. This implies the cost per o/w seat to Biman on this flight was $940 or 44% higher than other carriers – or they had 114 seats that were not filled or paid for.
A Boeing 777 has a range anywhere between 5,200 and 8,000 nautical miles (nm) with a capacity to carry 300 to 400 passengers. Such an aircraft is more than adequate to cover the 7,000nm over between New York and Dhaka with passenger and baggage but without any revenue cargo. All factors considered, such a non-stop flight would take about 16 hours. Recently, Biman wet-leased (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) a Boeing 747 at $5,300 per flying hour. The current wet-lease cost of a Boeing 777 ranges between $10,000 and $14,000 per hour. Taking a mid-range value of $12,000 per hour, the lease cost to Biman is $192,000 per one way flight. The fuel consumption of the aircraft is 0.01665 gallons per passenger mile; the price of jet fuel is currently $1.47 (average price over last several years has been $1 with a sudden spike up to $4 in Q1 of 2008; it is now sharply declining). Let's assume a configuration and fill factor are such that there are 365 passengers in a three class configuration: 335 in economy, 20 in business and 10 in first class and the premium fares are weighted by 1:1.5:2 making the total number of economy seats – for cost purposes – 385. The total operating cost adding $43,000 for fuel, now comes to $235,000 per flight or $610 per seat. If Biman charges the same as what the foreign carriers are charging, they would make a profit of $40 per seat or $15,400 (Tk 10.8 Lakh) per flight instead of a loss Tk 75 Lakh!
As long distance traveler, I'll readily opt for a non-stop flight that lasts less than 16 hours to nearly 24 hours it takes going via Abu Dhabi, Dubai or Kuwait. The opportunity cost of those extra wasted hours in changing planes, getting exhausted waiting in transit lounges (not to mention getting abused by natives of the Gulf countries) factoring in the per capita income of the USA ($38,000) and Canada ($30,000) - is equivalent to two whole productive days or $200. Given this, Biman would be well within their rights to claim a share of that money and charge between $1,400 and $1,500 per seat and should easily make a profit of 15%-23% or $90-$140 per non-premium class seat. It appears there's a clear business case for operating such a flight and all the complaints from Biman about political pressure from Bangladeshi expatriates in north America seem utterly ridiculous. Furthermore, it is obvious that having such a direct flight between Dhaka and New York will benefit trade between the regions many times.
If one includes a few of hours of non-flying time for the leased aircraft, the total time per o/w flight comes to 18 hours. As 231 people travel everyday or 1,617 per week, 4+ flights/week with 365 paying passengers would consume 100% of the market share. But if only 2 flights a week are operated (365 x 2)/1,617 to capture 45% of the captive market share, Biman would still retain their profit margin on this route. This will leave the aircraft unused 45% of the time over that period and the excess capacity thus created can easily be diverted to operate flights to Dubai, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore – routes that are clearly over-subscribed by the several million strong expatriate labor force in those regions and fall in the 6 hour (flying plus non-flying time) per leg bracket. This is equivalent to one daily return flight each of these busy regional destinations – currently being monopolized by foreign carriers who from my recent personal experience have a nasty habit of mistreating Bangladeshi passengers.
While I am happy to see positive ideas emanating from Biman's management reflected by good business decisions, I think it would be a huge mistake to break-up the New York - Dhaka journey by stopping in a third country like the UK. Not only will it take away the biggest attraction of a shorter travel time but it will also add to the anxiety of having to deal with travel restrictions on Bangladeshi passport holders in those countries not to mention delays and elemental uncertainties related to any additional stop-over. I look forward to seeing Bangladesh's national flag carrier on US soil again soon!

A Minnesota boat accident attorney can help you get compensation for your losses.
What Factors Contribute to Boating Accidents?
No two boat accidents are the same. But there are some common factors that may lead to them, including:
- Using alcohol or other drugs while operating a boat
- Not following safety procedures
- Speeding or other reckless behavior
- Manufacturing defects in the vessel
- Not properly maintaining a boat
- Not heeding weather or other advisories
Proving fault is not always easy. Boat lawyers often turn to expert witnesses, accident reconstruction procedures, and other methods of proof.
Boating Responsibly in Minnesota
To avoid collisions, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources recommends that boaters:
- Keep the throttle depressed while turning.
- Keep a safe distance between your vessel and other boats.
- Make turns gradually.
- Look before turning to ensure no other vessels are in your path.
If an accident does occur, you should:
- Stop at the scene and offer aid to anyone who needs it, if you can do so safely.
- Call 911 for help, if needed.
- Exchange information with other parties involved. Include name, contact information, vessel ID number, and the name of the boat owner, if it is someone other than yourself.
By law, you also must file a report with the local sheriff's office if:
- Property damage exceeds $2,000.
- There was a serious injury or fatality.
You should also tend to your best interests as soon as possible. A boat lawyer can best represent you both in and outside of the courtroom.

Ale-Braised Short RibsDébut de l'été 2011
Ale-Braised Short RibsDébut de l'été 2011
BY: Julia Rogers & Tonia Wilson
While picking up beers for the weekend make sure to buy a couple of flavourful, dark ales to use for the ribs. If there are any leftover ribs you can use the meat to make a delicious ragu sauce for pasta. Shred the cooked beef and add to your favourite tomato sauce with a handful of fresh basil.
3½ lbs (1.75 kg) beef short ribs cut 2- to 3-inches thick (5- to 8-cm) and sliced into pieces with 1 to 2 bones in each (for meatier pieces use 1 bone, if smaller use 2 bones)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
2 cups (500 mL) onions, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp (25 mL) garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp (25 mL) fresh sage, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp (25 mL) tomato paste
2 cups (500 mL) dark ale
1 cup (250 mL) beef stock
1. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Generously season short ribs with salt and freshly ground pepper.
3. In a large ovenproof pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sear the short ribs in oil until well browned on all sides, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Place browned ribs aside on a plate.
4. Discard excess oil from pot, add onions, garlic and sage and sauté until onions are nearly tender, about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute longer.
5. Place ribs back in pot along with ale and beef stock. Bring to a simmer, cover and then place in preheated oven. Bake for 3 hours or until meat is very tender and falls apart when gently pulled with a fork. Remove from oven.
6. Set ribs aside and pour the pan juices through a strainer to remove the solids; reserve liquid. Place ribs and strained liquid back into the same pot and cook over low heat until the liquid has reduced to a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes.
7. Season to taste and place everything in a transportable and oven-friendly dish. When ready to serve, place in a 350°F (180°C) oven and warm through. Serve ribs covered with sauce.

TIME IS VISIBLE AT CAMP SALMEN - Part 1
Besides the trees and wildlife, layers of time can be seen at Camp Salmen Nature Park.
The land itself reflects the geologic past. Bayou Liberty was formed when the sea level lowered a couple of million years ago, uncovered the land and let rainwater find a way to channel to the sea. Much of the topography in the area is from the huge quantities of Ice Age melt water, silt, sand and gravel carried from the far north by the Pearl River.
Also during the Ice Age, sea levels were lower and the people later mistakenly called "Indians" walked into North America from Asia. They eventually migrated to these parts and lived on the banks of the bayou and hunted in the marshes. They left shell, stone, bone and pottery pieces on the ground in piles called '"middens" which became evidence of their thousands of years of occupation.
It is said the presence of these natives in the neighborhood was one of the reasons Joseph Laurent built his trading post here in the early 1800s. It is now called the "Salmen Lodge." Of course, La Liberte' was one of the first Europeans to come to this bayou nearly three quarters of a century before. Many of his fellow Frenchmen followed his example and also produced building products – lumber, charcoal, pine tar and bricks from the forest.
Laurent was a trader who used his schooner "Marguerite" to carry the settler's products and produce to the growing city across the lake and bring back manufactured goods. He probably used the wide part of the bayou in front of his store to turn his schooner around to make it ready for another trip. He also evidently made bricks on his property and you can still view his clay pit remains. The building continued as the neighborhood store for almost a century. Hidden in the ground around it are old privy holes, the footings of out buildings, cisterns and many other artifacts that would be an archaeologist's dream.
Over the course of the next 150 years, the community on the bayou became known as "Bonfouca" and the Frenchmen were gradually replaced with native-born Creoles. Then something new happened just a few miles to the east. A railroad from Mississippi to New Orleans was built in the 1880s and the project's work camp became the town of Slidell. Fritz Salmen and his enterprising family carried on the traditions of Northshore forest products and put the town on the map with their highly successful building products industry. Eventually they bought this land, extracted its timber and clay, and changed it by leaving clay pits, railroad beds, brick fragments and the beginnings of a new forest. In next week's column learn about changes to the land when the Boy Scouts and St. Tammany Parish government made an appearance.
CAMP SALMEN'S HISTORY - STILL HERE TO SEE - Part 2
Last time we learned that Salmen Lodge was Joseph Laurent's old Indian trading post and was a part of the "ancient" Creole community of Bonfouca on Bayou Liberty. The community was nearly a century and a half old when the upstart town of Slidell showed up on the railroad tracks nearby. Since then, more history happened at Camp Salmen Nature Park and more evidence of time's passing was left behind.
Fritz Salmen was a forward-thinking man who believed in putting his land to good use after extracting its timber and clay. He had numerous land development projects like farms, pastureland and housing. His idea of donating some of it to the Boy Scouts of America led to a considerable amount of infrastructure being emplaced over the next 60 years for the enjoyment of nearly 400,000 boys.
Remnants of the Boy Scout Era are everywhere in the park. The woods contain traces of wire, plumbing and lumber from out buildings once scattered around the encampment. Some of the trails follow the paths between them. Their first cafeteria left a pile of stove coal and the newer cafeteria left a slab that sprouted a big, brand new picnic pavilion, the centerpiece of the new parish park. The "Leaning Oak" on the parade ground was propped up with a couple of poles to hold it up for generations of climbers. The old water tower looms, rusting overhead, as its water well still functions nearby. The bayou bank has remnants of the scout's canoe dock and their old boat slip hides in brush. The mound of dirt over the swimming pool is now a lovely picnic area and curbing under a nearby oak shows the location of the previous '20s era pool. Mary's Grotto demonstrates the care taken for the scout's spiritual development.
Bridging into the new era of St. Tammany Parish parks is the monument honoring Fritz Salmen for his generous donation to the scouts. A new flagpole represents the scout's patriotic ideals. A brand new copy of their old amphitheater will continue to provide a place for the spirit of community.
A winding new paved Parish Parkway meanders through the woods to replace old Camp Salmen Rd. There are bricks, bricks and bricks — everywhere — mostly buried. Nearly a century of brick making took place here, in addition to brick rubble from Slidell's brick manufacturing heritage, and demolished brick scout buildings. The place might as well be called "Camp Brick."
For the future, the young "upstart" Slidell continues to grow out from its beginnings on the railroad track and now surrounds Camp Salmen where our Nature Park remains a valuable island of refuge and an important link to the past.
