10/10 Best Ever

Buy Self Tan Here - click to visit our shop and see all the great discounts available
Why are these products being cleared?
The UK company that previously distributed Famous Dave products have ended their relationship with Famous Dave due to the introduction of new EU regulations which make importing US-manufactured Famous Dave products to the UK no longer possible. This same UK company also developed and manufactured the entire range of market-leading, award-winning UK self tan products that it previously made available to Famous Dave, however now this relationship has ended, the founders of the UK company have stopped offering their self tan formulations to Famous Dave and have re-launched them exclusively under their own new UK-based luxury natural beauty brand – www.ForAllMyEternity.com
The Famous Dave brand is currently being discontinued in the UK, and to clarify, Famous Dave has not re-launched, but the award-winning UK self tan formulations which made up 95% of the product range sold in the UK, have been re-launched under the new brand.
The following top-rated industry-favourite natural and organic self tan formulations will no longer be available to Famous Dave in the future when they have sold out, and have been re-launched under For All My Eternity: Tanning Mousse Original and Gold Edition, Tan & Tone, Gradual 10 Lotion, Spray Tan, Sculpt & Smooth, Body Buffer, and Fast Tan.
We are pleased to inform you that the entire range is entirely paraben-free, SLS-free, alcohol-free, and is made using only the finest natural and organic ingredients.
Is this clearance stock outdated or expired?
No, all the stock we sell via this website is brand new, unused, and still well within its useable life. The products do not have an expiry date – they have a PAO (Period After Opening) which is the manufacturer's guarantee that the stock is suitable for use for up to the amount of time specified on the bottle. It is not in our company's interest to sell expired or outdated stock as this would only result in unnecessary returns and unhappy customers.
Do you offer any guarantees?
Yes, we know the stock we sell is in perfect, useable condition and are happy to stand by this. If you are not happy with your product for whatever reason, we will do our best to resolve any issues you may have, and if you are still unhappy you can return it to us within 7 days of purchase for a refund (please note we cannot refund postage). Please also note, you must contact us prior to returning any items to receive the correct return address and return reference number.
I've read a statement from the USA brand…
We are aware of a statement on the Famous Dave USA site - unfortunately much of this information is untrue, slanderous, and is aimed at preventing UK resellers from clearing the remaining Famous Dave stock which was sold to them in good faith without any restrictions. As US-made Famous Dave products can no longer be imported to the EU, and the UK distributors did not wish to sign into a sudden new restrictive, unrealistic and non-negotiable agreement they were presented with, 'Famous Dave' decided to launch a marketing campaign against them and their UK reseller base, rather than simply allowing everyone to sell through the remaining stock which they are legally entitled to do. This unnecessary and increasingly unprofessional move has unfortunately left a tainted opinion of the Famous Dave brand, especially within the reseller base who are currently working together to resolve this matter.
To further clarify, all UK formulations have been discontinued solely due to the UK company ending its relationship with the Famous Dave brand and re-launching these same formulations under its own new luxury UK brand. It has absolutely nothing to do with quality standards and - despite Famous Dave's claims - it is these UK 'discontinued' formulations exclusively that have won the awards and received 10/10s reviews, rather than any US-made products. Famous Dave to date has achieved no press coverage or awards outside the UK, and despite making these false claims about quality standards of the discontinued UK products, Famous Dave is still seemingly happy to use the UK press, magazine covers and 'award-winning' statements achieved by the UK distributors for these same UK self tan formulations – some of which he has never stocked or sold in the USA, and to which he refers to as 'poor' - to still describe and promote his brand.
So what happens once the stock has sold out?
As above, the best-selling UK self tan formulations are now exclusively available under the new UK luxury brand – For All My Eternity. If you wish to continue using the same self tan formulations mentioned above then please visit www.ForAllMyEternity.com. It is important to note that any new 'replacement' products launched by the Famous Dave brand are not manufactured by the original UK company who created all the award-winning best-sellers that are now available via For All My Eternity, and instead any 'replacements' will be completely new formulations made by a different manufacturer based somewhere in the USA.
If you are product loyal, then you can continue using the same formulations you have previously enjoyed now under the new For All My Eternity brand. If you are brand loyal then you can continue buying the Famous Dave clearance stock until it runs out, at which point they will no longer be available in the EU until such time Famous Dave complies with the strict new EU Cosmetics Directive governing the import and sale of USA-made cosmetics within the EU.
I have seen a photo of a product that appears to have gone off, are the products you sell like this?
No, the products we sell are brand new, unopened, and in perfectly saleable condition. The image you may have seen is Famous Dave using a very small number of examples of older stock in an attempt to make it look like all stock is like this – it is not. He is basing these on a handful of old eBay feedback, and the particular photo in question is of a product that we have not stocked for a long time and was purchased from a high street retailer that discontinued the brand back in 2012.
Famous Dave made a comment about the UK products being discontinued due to 'poor formulation' - is this true?
Unsurprisingly, no this is of course NOT true. Famous Dave has never owned any of the UK formulations and had no say in these being removed from his brand last year. When the relationship ended, the UK company of course stopped offering their award-winning products to Famous Dave in favour of re-launching them under their own new UK luxury beauty brand. Famous Dave then went on to use a small handful of isolated customer complaints in an attempt to try and make it look like there was an issue with product quality. He fails to mention however that these are isolated cases – some of which are nearly 2 years old - and has selectively chosen not to mention the many thousands of positive reviews he would have had to trawl through for these exact same UK-made products in order to find the one or two negative comments.
We hope this simplifies and clears up any confusion our own loyal customers may have been experiencing regarding these recent changes, we also apologise for the need to go into this in such detail to clarify the facts. Please enjoy your time grabbing a bargain or two with us whilst stocks last!

Click Here for Product Description & Application Instructions
These Tanners will get your skin as dark as you would like. Once applied, your colour will develop in about 3-4 hours. After that time, if you would like a darker tan, just re-apply. Please refer to the above colour guide.
Famous Dave's Moisture Tan, Fair Skin & Face Tanner, dry to the touch almost immediately as they are applied to the skin and dressing can occur within 5 minutes of the application. Famous Dave's Moisture Tan, and Fair Skin & Face Tanner do not rub out on sheets or clothing.
Moisture Tan and Fair Skin & Face are different than most other products in that they are not gels or a greasy creams. These Tanning Lotions are creamy smooth lotions very similar in consistency to hand lotion. They apply very easily. However, remember self tanning products will tan you where you put them. If your application is haphazard and sloppy, so too will be your tan. No self-tanner will streak if it is applied evenly.
Spray Tan will last up to 7 days depending on your skin type. Tanning lotions: People are different although you can expect your colour to remain for up to 5 days. It will then begin to gradually lighten naturally until more is applied.
Chlorine and salt water tend to strip colour, however customers have reported that Moisture Tan will not come off in the pool or sea, provided that you exfoliate well before applying the product and moisturise daily.
No, these products do not contain an SPF and do not therefore protect you from the sun. Wearing sunscreen is therefore essential.
As these products do not contain an SPF, using a high SPF factor sunscreen is essential. If you apply the self tan product onto clean, unmoisturised skin and allow it to fully absorb before applying sunscreen (or any other products), the sunscreen should not affect how the self tan develops or wears. Use an oil-free sunscreen if possible.
The Spray Tan, Fast Tan and Moisture Tan Dark with Bronzer contain a guide colour to ensure even application. Because Moisture Tan and Fair Skin & Face Tanner go on so smoothly without streaking, there is no need for a colour additive.
Your tan will start to develop over the 3-4 hours after application. We recommend you allow the product to develop on your skin for at least 7-8 hours, or longer if you wish to achieve a darker tan. Fast Tan will develop in just 1-2 hours, however you can leave it on for up to 4 hours if you want to achieve a darker tan.
These self tanning products work equally well on your face and body. What's great is that you only need a very small amount for your face.
These products work with most skin tones. Pale skin, yes. Pale skin redheads, many (but not 100%). We have many fair skinned customers that love to use self tan.
You should always exfoliate prior to self tanning because this will get rid of all the old dead skins cells (meaning you're tanning the newest layer of skin) and help ensure an even and longer-lasting tan.
Some people have a reaction to dihydroxyacetone (DHA, i.e. the tanning agent) which is used in ALL self-tanners, including these tanning products. We do have many customers with sensitive skin who use Fair Skin & Face Tanner, which has less DHA in it. If you have had bad experiences with self-tanners in the past, we would recommend this product, however if it is the tanning agent DHA you are allergic to, unfortunately the Fair Skin & Face Tanner could also cause an allergic reaction. We encourage all customers with allergies to contact us before placing an order; full ingredient lists are available upon request.
No. these products and ingredients are not tested on animals, and no animal derived ingredients are used.
Always check with your GP. According to NHS, although there are no known dangers of using tanning products during pregnancy, they can sometimes cause an allergic reaction. Changes in hormone levels can make the skin more sensitive than normal. If you wish to use fake tan during pregnancy, test the product on a small area of skin first to see if you have a reaction.
Yes they can. ALL self-tanning products contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This is what tans you. It works by bonding with the protein in your skin. Provided your hands are washed thoroughly with soap and water for at least 30 seconds - immediately following application - NO self tanner will give you tanned palms.
We recommend using a tanning mitt because it makes application even easier and means you don't get any product on the palms of your hands. It's not a requirement, but we would recommend one. Alternatively you can use disposable vinyl gloves. If you are just using your hands to apply the product, make sure you wash them using hot soapy water straight away afterwards to remove the tan from your palms.
If you don't have a tanning mitt, a good tip is to apply a small amount of tanner with cotton wool, sponge or a tissue onto the back of your hands after you have washed them; also wipe around your wrists to avoid any marks. Alternatively, apply a small amount of tan to the back of one hand and rub the back of both hands together. Then use a tissue to remove any tan from the palms and fingernails.
We recommend storing your self tanner in a cool, dark place away from radiators, direct sunlight, and humid areas such as the bathroom.
Unfortunately we cannot currently take orders by phone.
Unfortunately not.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Starting in model year 2003, the IPC/DIC is able to read out in 3 difference languages: English, Spanish, and French. Some questions have been received concerning how to change the DIC Language, mainly on vehicles without steering wheel controls.
To change between the languages on vehicles with steering wheel controls, follow Document ID # 867116 in SI.
Vehicles without steering wheel controls follow the procedure below:
Turn ignition on.
Use the trip reset stem to display the Odometer on the DIC.
With the Odometer displayed press and hold down the trip reset stem, after 3-5 seconds the DIC will begin to scroll thru the 3 difference languages.

A hate crime and robbery case against two southwestern suburban men that began more than two years ago ended as the pair pleaded guilty to one felony count each of a hate crime. Akram Alshoweat, 24, of Oak Lawn and Mohammed Shaban, 37, of Hickory Hills have to pay court costs and were each sentenced to 24 months probation by Cook County Judge Colleen Ann Hyland in her Bridgeview courtroom. Other related charges were dismissed.
The two men were charged in connection to a June 2010 incident where police say they attacked a woman they believed to be a lesbian outside a Hickory Hills restaurant.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
When Tim Walsworth graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a degree in journalism, he needed work. That's when he stumbled onto a job with the United Way.
"I didn't know what they did," Walsworth said in his Durango office. Yeah, he'd watched the ads during NFL games on Sunday, remembers seeing the giving hand logo and people doing good things.
"I really didn't have a clue. But, long story short, I found my passion and my calling."
A chance to direct an office brought him to Durango. And after a decade of overseeing a nonprofit that's often in the public's eye, Walsworth's name has become synonymous locally with United Way. So when you hear he's leaving, the news is a jolt. Perhaps you're even angry – c'mon Tim, how can you do this? Then you learn he's staying in Southwest Colorado because he loves it so much, and you forgive him.
Walsworth officially was appointed the new executive director of Durango's Business Improvement District on Tuesday, when the city of Durango approved its 2013 budget.
"It wasn't an easy decision for me because I absolutely love the United Way," the animated Walsworth said during an interview in the United Way conference room.
But after all the blood, sweat, tears, heart and soul he poured into the local organization, "I'm just ready for something new."
Yes, there will be a slight bump in pay, and as the father of an 8-month-old boy, that's important. But he's also excited to use his skills in a new, challenging way.
What exactly, you may be asking, is the Business Improvement District?
Known as BID, it is a quasi-governmental organization that is financed by a tax on property owners in the district, which includes the downtown area and property up Main Avenue all the way past the Hampton Inn at 3777 Main Ave. The city approves BID's budget and appoints its directors.
BID's mission has changed since it was created in 1997 to study the feasibility of a downtown conference center. That center was deemed infeasible, so the district now works to attract and retain businesses, and to market special events. "Branding" the Historic Downtown has become a central focus of the BID, according to its website.
Walsworth's succession to BID's top job heralds a change. The prior director, Bob Kunkel, concurrently served as the city of Durango's manager of downtown business development. Kunkel remains in that job, and BID now has its very own executive director.
For BID, breaking that connection with the city is kind of like a kid leaving home for the first time, said Karen Barger, BID board member and owner of Seasons Rotisserie & Grill.
She describes Walsworth as inspiring, enthusiastic and a great communicator – traits that made Walsworth stick out among nearly 40 "very qualified candidates."
Tim Wheeler, owner of Durango Coffee Co. and also a BID board member, said Walsworth is well-connected to many aspects of the community, from government officials to business owners. And his track record at United Way has been stellar.
"He's willing to roll up his sleeves and get things done," Wheeler said.
When Walsworth started, the United Way occupied a tiny, shared office at East Eighth Avenue and College Drive – the master bedroom of a former three-bedroom apartment.
"Inaccessible. People couldn't find us," Walsworth said. It wasn't an optimal situation, but, he chuckles, "It was great 'cause the rent was really cheap."
Ten years later, United Way of Southwest Colorado is on the ground floor of a much more spacious office in Bodo Industrial Park. The nonprofit has grown its fundraising from $500,000 in Walsworth's first year as executive director in 2003 to more than $700,000 in 2011.
He's proud of the $6.15 million raised during his tenure in the five-county area. They're in the ballpark of raising this year's goal of $764,000.
He hit the streets hard when he joined Southwest Colorado's United Way in 2003, and plans to do it again when he starts with BID on Jan. 2.
"In my first 90 to 120 days I'm going to literally try to meet with every business and property owner in the district," he said. "It might be impossible, but I'll try."
District voters in 2010 chose to continue BID for the next 15 years. Good news for most of the 800 property owners, unwelcome news for the 31 percent who voted against it and don't think their taxes are being put to good use.
Walsworth is ready to tackle the challenge of chatting to those in favor as well as the reluctant BID members.
"I want to work for you whether you like us or you don't like us," Walsworth said. "And if you don't like us, let's try to start fresh and give me a chance to show that I'm for you.
"I need to know what you think. Honestly tell me. It's not going to hurt my feelings."
It's an opportunity to make some positive changes, and that's what he's all about. He even stops halfway through making a point to say it himself:
"I'm a glass-is-half-full kind of guy – can you tell?"

It's classist and fatphobic to visually characterize "bad" or "risky" homeowners by making them fat, smokers, and have more children.
There has to be a better, more accurate, less lazy, non-bigoted way to visually differentiate the "nice" homeowners (thin, heterosexual couple with one child and one dog) from the "irresponsible" ones (fat, smokers, 3 kids, drinking soda.)

Just type federal income tax illegal into google
You will see what I mean. The 16th ammendment never says that income tax for you and I should be a mandatory collection from the Gov
It is not required by law. The IRS bullies people into giving up their cash. A lot like the Mob.
The ammendment for the federal income tax as we know it now was NEVER passed
Hence illegal

We need a new rock band, something neoPunk with a name like "The Roving Cavaliers of Credit". A general takedown of Greenspan, Bernanke, Paulson and Geither for misunderstanding a thing called debt-deflation and that free-market systems are naturally unstable and function because they never have a balance point.
zawan says:
Thank for the info AVRAM
Wow, I never knew there could be so much contradicting information.
There are people that say the 16th amendment was never ratified.
There are IRS workers that can't find a law that states the legality of Individual income taxes
and then In 1913, there were 38 States in the Union. There is no legal documentation that the majority of the 38 States ratified the 16th Amendment.
And then there are articles like this:
oh woe is me, why can one never find the truth when the Government is involved.
Also, NEON, UFO's are unidentified flying objects not aliens. I think there are like a dozen UFO sightings every hour probably.

I finally get it!!!
Greedy bastards wanting more money despite the consequences.
Can we please also explain to the people that the Federal Income tax is Illegal while we are on the topic of money??
K thx
the_boy says:
@Zawan I think you mean unconstitutional, not illegal, and either way that's a hell of a battle to fight.
This video was pretty great! I like how all the blame is hinted at, but it appears to have been made with a conscious effort to not fault individual elements but point out instead a rather systemic failure.
zawan says:
Apologies then for the "thread-jack"… I honestly loved Jarvis' movie, went to his site, very talented.
But I actually just found the answer to this whole tax thing after some footwork…went to the IRS site, and I was just cracking up at their explanation. But holy wow look at how many times they say "Frivolous"..
It's almost Saturday night live-ish, like they didn't have a thesaurus

zawan says:
@boy I think if you take my money and say it is yours when there is no law saying so, it is illegal as well unconstitutional.
Also, the blame was pretty squarely laid on people's greed. If everyone didn't try and make their pockets fatter we would not be in this mess.
Capitalism on steroids = Economy with roid rage and shrunken testicles.

Worth watching for the graphical representation of the "subprime family", which morphs out of the "prime family" (add two more kids, booze, cigaretts, and 40 lbs the adults).
But it can't touch "The Giant Pool of Money" from This American Life (except in brevity).
noen says:
The point zawan, is use your head. Every possible permutation of belief, scam, con, truth, half-truth and paranoid delusional rant has been explored, it's defenders and debunkers lined up and they all have their "proofs".
Bottom line, ya think if you walk into court and declare yourself a sovereign person the judge will say "Oh nooes! He caught us, now we have to let him go." Nope, they'll just throw your butt in jail.
mdh says:
If everyone didn't try and make their pockets fatter we would not be in this mess.
Not everyone. Just all the greedy people.
If we bail the irresponsible people out out of this I expect to be rewarded for my responsibility. Once I found out that I qualified for a preposterous mortgage I started my personal planning for this mess.
Stefan Jones says:
@Zawan: "IRS" without vowels is "RS."
GTMoogle says:
Alternative viewpoint to blaming greed (which you couldn't stop anyway) is that part of why we expect capitalism to work is that there's nothing necessarily wrong with greed, as long as there's honesty or transparency. If no one wants more than they have, the economy stalls also.
The problem came when they were allowed to make horrible deals and shuffle them into the AAA stuff (Something the video could elaborate on as well).
The system before the sub-prime was stable. Even with sub-prime deals, it was sustainable as long as there were no bumps in the road.
When the agency that rates risk does its job when everything seems fine, they'll come under fire for 'slowing down the economy' and businessmen will push for less regulation and oversight. By this argument, we wouldn't have a problem if we stayed the course with regulation.
Possibly, even if we had, they businessmen would have found new playgrounds where regulation didn't exist yet, shifting the argument to not creating "more" regulation (which really would have just been the same regulation growing with the market). Even if we kept up growth, they might have invented new unregulated tools fast enough to cause the same problem. I don't know anything about what the actual outcomes might have been. Maybe we could have avoided this, maybe not.
Here's a question I've never seen asked: Depending on how long we take to recover, where would we be relative to what the market would have grown like with enough regulation to avoid the problem? Is it possible that we come out ahead even WITH the collapse? I don't think it's likely, but I am curious. I'm sure graphs of past recessions have a reasonable answer, I'll go look…

As it turns out, I've been spending much of my professional time lately studying what happened in the credit markets during the bubble years, so I think I have a slightly better grasp than I did at the time, when I only thought it would lead to a nasty financial crisis, as opposed to Great Depression II."
"The broad story is well known, even to the cable TV pinheads: Housing Bubble + Subprime Mortgage Lending + Derivatives = Armageddon. (The numerical illiterates at Fox News would probably add ACORN to that equation.) But even now I'm not sure if many people fully understand just how insanely reckless the carnival was, to the point where future historians will speak of "structured finance" in much the same the way we talk about the bubonic plague."
It's the same old story, industry privatizing profits but socializing the loss. It's unclear to me how we start the economy again since we don't really have one.
Stefan Jones says:
In addition to greed, there's wishful thinking:
* "Condo flipping rocks! The housing market will always grow!"
* "I believe that nice salesperson when he said I really could afford this mortgage and I shouldn't worry about the rate going up because I can refinance."
* "Hey, I found another way to subvert the fiscal soundness checks. At this rate I'll be able to sell ARMs to ten more poor suckers by the end of the week. What could go wrong?"
* "And we'll use default swaps to protect ourselves!"
* "Banks would only be stifled by regulation. The dishonest and underperforming ones will be weeded out by market forces."
* "An unfettered free market will always lead to the optimum outcome."
* "Ronald Reagan proved we didn't have to worry about deficits!"
This isn't quite the same as greed. It is believing in bullshit, in replacing common sense with ideological fervor.

@Zawan I'm assuming we're talking about the US constitution here. Income tax is definitely allowed by the 16th amendment, and is quite possibly allowed by the constitution itself. Also, taxes don't take from "person A" and give to "Person B". They take from persons "A, B, C, etc…" and give to them all in a common trust, held and spent by government, levied and spent in ways guaranteed by law. Income tax is an allowed one.
RationalPragmatist says:
zawan, enough with the tax protest threadjack. You may want to spend some time at the Agitator.com.
Great, concise presentation. I think that the video should have spent a little time expanding on credit default swaps. Unregulated trading lead to the sale of more than $70 trillion (US) dollar CDSs among just about every investment bank and institutional lender, yet there was only a total of about $16 trillion (US) dollars in collateral debt obligation pools. This means that speculators, beyond those simply trying to hedge risk, were purchasing CDSs, though it turns out the issuers had no real reserves or liquid assets that would permit them to honor the CDS if payment was required. CDSs were listed as assets by investment banks and institutional investors, and used to obtain additional leverage. So, when investment banks and institutional lenders learned that their CDSs were either worthless or would bust the issuer, like AIG, the credit markets froze up.

Oh heck no. I'm not set on a rut hunt over all. I would like to hunt the rut in Colorado to burn my points on. Other than that I just want to hunt Muleys. As long as they are all 180" or better.

Hey BB, that is one of my all time favorite movies! Thanks!
WY has some general hunt regions that you can draw every year or every other year. Check out Eastman's MRS either online or in the mule deer issue of the magazine. Just pay close attention to public land access. There are several posts on here about guys getting tags for areas rated "poor access", and disappointed that there is no public land to hunt. Also, when the area is rated "rough / extreme" in the MRS, that's for real!
I just did my first DIY mule deer hunt in WY this year and that how I went about it in general. I started planning about 12 to 14 months prior and we had a good time and I am already planning next year's hunt. The better your planning and research, the more enjoyable your trip / hunt will be.
Good Luck
You could always take up another weapon to increase your odds during the off years too. I know that for CO I draw a mulie bow tag every other year, and there are second choice units that I can put in for nearby that will put me hunting mulies two out of three years. I don't have any experience hunting mulies later in the year, but they are pretty patternable in September.
Thanks guys. LaHunter,sounds like you have it dialed in. If you don't mind,I may be in touch in the near future. I'll be checking out the MRS here to see what's what.
I do have the chip for Colorado in my GPS MAP 62S. I love it. It's a real asset.
I'm a long way from having it dialed in. I am still very new at western hunting and still learning. I have just paid close attention to sound advise over the past year on this forum. If you are planning on a DIY hunt, the more effort you put in on the front end (research / planning / conditioning) the greater your odds of enjoying your hunt. Also, when you live a loooong way from your hunting destination, it makes planning that more important. I'll be glad to help any way I can.
Good Luck
This year in WY was the first time I used the chip and after using it I dont know how or why I hunted so long without it!
I have 5 points and will be going for unit 68,681 3rd season this next hunting season (2015). From my research it sounds like a hunt with a lot of bucks in the 150 range with some 180+ coming out every year especially if you get snow. I wouldn't spend 7-8 points on it necessarily but it sounds like a good hunt.

Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman today had a sack -- in the courtroom.
Merriman was awarded about $3.8 million and real estate ownership interests by a federal court in a dispute between him and two former pro athletes -- including Western New York basketball legend Christian Laettner.
U.S. District Court Judge Roger W. Titus ruled that a judgment be entered in favor of Merriman against Laettner, Brian Davis and BD Ventures LLC, according to court papers filed Dec. 13 in federal court in Greenbelt, Md. In 2009, Merriman sued the former NBA and Duke University basketball players after they defaulted on a $3 million loan and failed to convey ownership interests promised to Merriman, according to court papers. Davis was a teammate of Laettner's at Duke.
"Shawne Merriman trusted Laettner and Davis to repay the millions they borrowed from him for their business," Marc Kasowitz, Merriman's attorney, said in a statement. "We are pleased that the federal court has vindicated Shawne's rights and is compelling Laettner and Davis to fulfill their obligations."

Valpo Tennis Swept at Ball State
Saturday, February 11, 2006Valparaiso continued its season-opening five-match road trip on Saturday afternoon dropping a 7-0 decision to Ball State in Muncie, Ind.
The Cardinals swept all three doubles matches to take the opening point. Matt Baccarani and Joe Epkey downed Nic Kooyers and Mike Shideler 8-5 at the top spot while Valpo's Mike Wagner and Dave Bukowski dropped an 8-3 match Tony Epkey and Patrick Thompson at number two. Ball State's Joe Vallee and Jose Perdomo defeated Joe Venegas and Alex Lau 8-4 at third doubles.
In singles play, Ball State won all six matches in straight sets. Joe Epkey defeated Kooyers 6-2, 6-2 while brother Tony defeated Venegas 6-0, 6-1. Thompson was a 6-1, 6-4 winner over Shideler at number three and Danny Vidal triumphed over Wagner 6-3, 7-5 in the tightest match of the day at fourth singles. At number five Vallee defeated Bukowski 6-2, 6-2 and Perdomo swept Lau 6-1, 6-2.
Valpo (0-4) will close out the road trip next Saturday afternoon with a 2 p.m. match at DePaul.

The visual explanation of a retweet, which is now part of the dictionary. Photo: Rosaruo Ochoa on Flickr
In their never-ending quest to be modern, the folks behind the Concise Oxford English Dictionary have managed to make themselves look old again.
One of the standard bearers of the English language has completed the annual ritual of adding new modern words to the dictionary.
This year's list includes such winners as "retweet" because "like" is already in there and "+1" is still to new to the block.
Other words to make the cut were "cyberbulling" -- thank you Facebook -- and "sexting" -- which may become less of problem this weekend when AT&T hits delete on most of its text messaging plans.
The new words are chosen based "on cultural ubiquity, which they gauge using a database of more than two billion words culled from contemporary sites," according to Engadget.

FAIRMONT, W.Va. —
Groh, the judge, said Schutzhund dogs are not "junkyard dogs."
"They aren't attack dogs," he said. "I couldn't give my dog a command to bite you. He knows no such command."
The dogs at Creekside Kennels are social, obedient animals. A testament to their good nature is that many are certified therapy dogs that visit patients in hospitals or residents of nursing homes.

A collection of unpleasant stats from the New England Patriots' 52-28 victory over the Buffalo Bills:
1) Buffalo has allowed more points at home only once, 56 points to New England in 2007.
2) The Patriots scored 45 points after halftime, the most by a trailing team since the 1950 New York Giants scored 48.
3) Those 45 second-half points -- a Bills record for most allowed in any half -- were scored in 21 minutes, 12 seconds of game time.
4) New England's 31-point fourth quarter tied an NFL record.
5) The Elias Sports Bureau found the Patriots' margin of victory is the second-largest by a team that trailed by at least 14 points at halftime.
6) The Patriots became the second team in NFL history, joining the 2008 Green Bay Packers, to have two 100-yard rushers, a 300-yard passer and two 100-yard receivers.
7) Steven Ridley and Brandon Bolden became the first Patriots running backs to hit triple digits in the same game since Don Calhoun and Vegas Ferguson in 1980.
8) Buffalo gave up 580 total yards, second-most in franchise history. The record is 598 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in 1992.
9) New England's 19 rushing first downs tied Buffalo's record for most allowed in a game.
10) The Bills have allowed 100 points in two AFC East games -- the most in division play by far. The Carolina Panthers are next at 73 points, but over three games. The Cincinnati Bengals have surrendered 71 points in two games. No other club has allowed more than 59 points.
11) The Bills' net differential of minus-44 points in the division also is the NFL's worst.

The teams of the National Lacrosse League must cut down to 20 people on their active roster by Monday at noon. It sounds as if Mike Hominuck decided opted to make the decision by the Buffalo Bandits' coaching staff a little easier.
The veteran forward of the Bandits has announced his retirement.
"I wish I could've played one more year, but it wasn't in the cards and I'm happy to be going out a Bandit," Hominuck said. "I will always be a supporter and continue cheering for the Bandits."
Hominuck, 32, played nine seasons in the NLL, three with the Bandits. In 102 games, he finished with 127 goals and 184 assists. Hominuck also played with Minnesota, Edmonton, Toronto and Philadelphia.
He was fairly effective last season with the Bandits. Hominuck did get caught in a numbers game at times last season, as the Bandits brought in many new faces during the 2013 season and had some problems finding adequate playing time for all of them.
For what it's worth, Hominuck was one of the best interviews on the team. He's an eighth-grade teacher in Welland, Ont., and is a smart, interesting person. Speaking as a media member, you hate to see those guys go.

FORT WORTH — Brock devotees are hoping for a healthy dose of deja vu after dropping the first game of a best-of-three set to Pilot Point on Thursday, in the Class 2A Region II softball final played at Chisholm Trail High School.
A pair of errors in the first frame marked a shaky start for the Brock defense, and the offense could not make up the difference in an eventual 4-0 loss to the Lady Cats.
The Lady Eagles were actually pretty fortunate to get out of the first inning just surrendering a single run.
But 'fortunate' described little else for Brock on this night, who was without two of their regular starters going into the game. The Pilot Point hits began to fall in the second frame, as they added a pair of runs in the second, putting the Lady Eagles down 3-0
With the night Lady Cats pitcher Skylar Cagle was having in the circle, Brock could ill afford to cede many — or as it turned out — any runs. The right-hander fanned 16 batters on the evening, giving up just a pair of hits. It was the sixth frame before the Lady Eagles pushed a runner into scoring position.
Brock had a similar Game 1 a week ago when they fell to Mt. Vernon in the first contest, but rebounded big in the second and third games to take the series.
Head coach Ryan Starnes and the BHS girls hope a repeat is in the offing in this week's set, as they take the field again on Friday, at Chisholm Trail. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.
If the Lady Eagles can reverse fortunes in Friday's rematch, the deciding game will be played on Saturday, same venue, same time.

Trying to convince kids to stay away from drugs is an ongoing battle. Authorities and parents continually look for ways to occupy kids so boredom won't lead to unnecessary temptations. Activities have been a favorite way, especially when it's getting kids involved in sports.
Fishing is one of those activities, and that is the continued impetus behind legislation sponsored by the state's 9th District legislature delegation that would permanently create and fund a Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs program throughout New Jersey.
The Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs program has been in existence in New Jersey since a pilot program began in Ocean County in 2000, said Assemblyman Brian Rumpf, one of the sponsors of the bills – one in the Assembly, one in the Senate – that would permanently establish the HOFNOD program.
The Assembly version – A-638, sponsored by Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove – recently advanced out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee recently, moving it one step closer to a vote by the full Assembly. Its companion bill, S-178 sponsored by Sen. Christopher Connors, was approved by the Senate Environment and Energy Committee on Feb. 9 and awaits action by the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee.
The bills would establish the program within the state's Division of Fish and Wildlife and fund it through a $200,000 appropriation from the Drug Enforcement and Demand Reduction Fund (DEDRF), where fines and penalties from convicted drug offenders are deposited and then are used to support state-authorized drug and alcohol abuse abatement programs. DEDRF has carried a surplus over the course of several fiscal years.
Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs is a national program started by the Future Fisherman Foundation that aims to teach children about fishing and the environment. HOFNOD uses angling skill development as a gateway to teach youth about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and how to deal with the challenges facing them in their young lives, the national organization's website notes.
In 1986, a young man from Florida wrote a letter to the Future Fisherman Foundation saying fishing had kept him off drugs and that he thought it would help keep other teens away from drugs, too, and HOFNOD was born.
In New Jersey, "there have been demonstrated success stories," said Rumpf, who was the mayor of Little Egg Harbor Township, which had a HOFNOD event in 2000 at Tip Seaman Park. There were more than 150 parents and children who participated, he said.
"It tries to incorporate the message that there are fun and productive things you can be doing besides alcohol and drugs," Rumpf said.
The legislation has been kicking around at the state level for several years, but Rumpf said the cutbacks suffered by the Division of Fish and Wildlife in 2008 have spurred more attention.
In 2008, then-Gov. Jon Corzine cut the state's budget across the board and that resulted in the division cutting out its fishing derby assistance because it lacked the staff to participate.
Many of those derbies had been part of the HOFNOD program, and that has strengthened interest in passing the legislation, Rumpf said.
"I believe there is recognition that it is a low-cost way to combat this problem, and it has demonstrated success stories," Rumpf said. "Folks are excited to see it move forward on a statewide basis."

Members of the Rush County EMA Advisory Board met earlier this week and EMA director Chuck Kemker gained approval for the Rush County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP).
The plan establishes a basis for coordinating emergency services in the county in the event of a disaster that required supplemental assistance. The plan will next be taken before the Rush County Commissioners for final approval.
According to Kemker, the CEMP plan covers five phases of emergency management: mitigation, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. Kemker next turned his attention to distribution of the plan to the individuals and businesses involved.
In other business, Kemker said that the EMA is partnering with the Rush County Health Department for an October 9 health fair. During the fair, county and local residents with disabilities will be given an emergency backpack containing a number of survival items.
The EMA director continued by saying that in the event of an emergency or natural disaster, all residents should have an emergency kit with enough supplies for up to a week.
While depending on the severity of the emergency, the county needs to be prepared for a week to 30 days prior to receiving state or federal assistance.
Talk next turned to commodity points of distribution (C-PODS) in the event of an emergency.
C-PODs are a part of the state logistics plan and a necessary part of the plan to meet resource support to distribute food and water to masses until mass feeding operations can begin.
Kemker said it is important that local EMA organizations provide a means for the C-PODs along with public health departments (PH-PODs) which will dispense antibiotics and/or vaccines.
In a final matter, the county is still seeking volunteer members for a Damage Assessment Team. Those interested are asked to contact Kemker at the EMA office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 765-932-8391.

In a new fall feature, Montgomery County's Patch sites will be selecting a high school football Game of the Week, but we need your help and it's really easy.
We'll post a poll every week listing the games across the county. All you need to do is vote for your selection as the Montgomery County Patch High School Football Game of the Week.
Polls will close for each week at 11:59 p.m. the Wednesday before kickoff. (For example, week 1 games begin on Friday, Aug. 31, so we'll close the poll at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 29). Polls will normally open at 6 a.m. Sunday.
The Game of the Week winner will be announced Thursday mornings. In the event of a tie, we'll be relying your comments to make a decision. Whichever game or school has the most support in the comments will win the tiebreaker.
Thanks for your participation, and best of luck to all 2012 fall season athletes.
Vote for the Week 1 Montgomery County Patch High School Football Game of the Week and tell us in the comments why your school deserves to be selected!

WHAT IS TRiO?
Established by Congress in 1965, TRiO programs are federally funded through competitive grants at over 1,200 colleges, universities, and agencies throughout the United States. The TRiO program is designed to provide supportive services to students who are first generation (neither parent graduated with a bachelor's degree), low income, and/or disabled.
- TRiO/Student Support Services participants have a 22% greater chance of entering their third year of college than similar students without the benefit of TRiO.
- Students who receive a full range of TRiO services (counseling, special courses, and tutoring) are twice as likely to be retained in college.

South Park iPhone App: Clips, Wallpapers, Episode database, and More
BoingBoing got an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming South Park App. The verdict: pretty darn cool, with some fun functionality for any South Park fanatic:
[...]the ability to stream clips, grab wallpapers for your device, read news, and browse the complete episode index. Also: choose character likenesses as "contact images" for your iPhone -- assign a face to the phone book entry of your choice.
It's not the full episodes available at http://www.southparkstudios.com/, but it will mean you'll be able to look up the episode when Saddam first fell for Satan. Knowledge like that will serve you well, as people will have to, you know, Respect your South Park Authoritah!
There are 6 comments. Add yours.
I wish we could watch them!!!
I like the idea of assigning characters to contacts - could be a lot of fun! Shame it will only show clips, then again, I've seen every episode at least 20 times. Wonder if it will include songs from the movie?
I wanted this app for the Simpsons! (anyone, anyone)
But considering the episodes are online, WHY NOT stream the episodes to the app on wifi? That would make this app worth $20 bucks (at least) if I could watch ANY southpark. Oh man.
It's about time! Been stuck with a crappy imaginationland game and no way to get my SP fix. There won't be streaming episodes because Apple sells them on the iTunes store. It would make no sense.
love your website
Hi - very good website you have created. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to write a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically delightful. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor for a merchandising firm. I have always enjoyed playing with computers and am attempting to learn code in my free time (which there is never enough of lol).
