does anyone use this combination as i am currently looking to change my discs and pads. does anyone know of anywhere that does grooved rear s3 brembo discs as i cant find anywhere.
I belive they were an option for the Big Brake Upgrade, whether you can get the seperately I don't know. Maybe worth giving Bill at badger5.co.uk a call to see what they can do as they sell the Brembo sets. On a side Dave Bayern got a set of ATE Powerdiscs from EuroCar Parts at a good price so maybe worth investing in a set of them instead?
"On my second S3 and loving it. RS3 here I come!!!"
thanks jesters. i dont know much about ATE to be honest. im not looking for huge braking as i dont really do track days. just a replacement that will do the job but good quality at the same time
ATE are a good name your S3 probably has ATE calipers; Dave Bayern got a set for �104.00 so a good price, Black Diamond Grooved are @ �170, Brembo are the same sort of price. In all good quality and good names. The DS2500 will set you back @ �80 so you are looking at the �200/250 mark for what you want.
If you want huge braking then the 4 pots are what you are after, me I went for standard Mintex Pads and Discs at �75 all in. When I can afford the big brake I'll be opting for K-Sport 8 pots.
"On my second S3 and loving it. RS3 here I come!!!"
I need a new set of pads - think I'm going to get a set from Seat as they seem to do the trick.
I thought the DS2500 where around the �130 mark?
03 Ebony black S3, Dieselgeek short shift, its started..
Yup, DS2500s are 130, and DS3000s are 160.
<Insert meaningless geeky specs here>
Sorry the DS's are @ �80.00
"On my second S3 and loving it. RS3 here I come!!!"
The stock brembo front discs for the big brake conversion (brembo) are drilled discs. If you want a matching DRILLED disc, there are plenty of options, but IMO drilled discs are a mistake as they WILL crack and fillup with brake dust!
If you have grooved discs currently on the front and want a matching groved rear disc (as you ask in your OP) then I would say try the EBC ultramax. I currently have the fronts in Big brembo size with the ferrodo ds2500 race pads and they are nothing short of excellent as much as an improvment on the stock brembo stuff as the stock brembo stuff was on well stock! ! (If you see what i mean!)
No warping issues yet and done 3k miles on them, the brembo stock drilled discs had been skimmed by this point!
cheers for that. my fronts are standard at the mo but will be looking to upgrade them when they ned doing. Ive heard the issues with drilled discs thats why thought grooved would be a better option. Iv heard not soo good things about the EBC stuff which has sort of put me off them
"On my second S3 and loving it. RS3 here I come!!!"
are they the 2500 though?
IU was sceptical about them tbh, never having been a fan (still not) of the ebc "brown stuff "pads etc!!
But there was some threads on Seat Cupra.net about them and EBC offered some FOC to try to some of the cupra boys. All feedback was good, so I tried some too.
Place that fitted mine (first set) is now selling them over the Brembo stuff, they are near half the price of brembo and stock, too! I thought the DS pads would kill them, and whilst i am sure they will wear quicker than with stock pads, the problem I was havgin was the things warping well before they get worn out! If they last 2/3 as long as stock ones, have twice the braking and cost half as much, I will be a very happy man! !
Worth a punt IMO. And they look quite swish too!
bTW, for what it is worth, I removed the paint coating they come with as stock before fitting them, rather than contaminate the race pads. it was a bit of a sod to sand off though so be prepared or just fit them and hope they dont catch fire frist time out!!! LOL
Cheers Dave - that explains everything
If I needed new discs and pads for the Brembo brakes tomorrow I would not hesitate to go for the EBC ultramax and Ferrodo DS2500's. For about �300 all in (delivered) they are a true bargain!
Try Badger 5 LTd for brembo size DS2500 race pads. He usually has them in stock.
He will also do price match on Ultramax discs, but I recently found my local motorfactors did them as cheap and I could save postage!
I buy most of my stuff from Badger5, always nice to support small businesses that have an interest in the scene.
It took a week to get me some DS3000s but I couldnt be happier.
If anyone has experienced the difference from OEM to DS2500, then the difference from 2500 to 3000 is the same again.
I wont ever go back to DS2500s now, not after fitting the 3000s and there being only a minimal price difference (�30 ish).
As for Discs, they are way less important than pads, so you could buy EBC and they'd be decent, all discs do is provide a medium to be worn away by friction.
That said, cheaper discs do wear and warp easier, so the more you spend on discs, the less likely you are to have to replace them.
You have to find that middle ground on discs.
<Insert meaningless geeky specs here>
I think I found the middle ground on my discs......it looks like the sump! ! !
(getting coat!!!)
what are the 3000 like cold though....? I noticed my 2500's were a bit scary after 100 mmiles of no use on the wet autobahn the other week, but then this is a trait of the S3 anyway. Ok after half a second, and better than the "no brakes for 3 seconds in the extreme wet" that the stock s3 brakes have.
From cold fine. OEM pretty much.
When warm, they can stop me from 80mph quicker than the mph needle can catch up.
<Insert meaningless geeky specs here>
Dave do you have brembos or just the standard brakes with uprated discs / pads?
03 Ebony black S3, Dieselgeek short shift, its started..
Standard 312mm setup.
<Insert meaningless geeky specs here>
I may have to meet up with you and see what they are like as your nearby
03 Ebony black S3, Dieselgeek short shift, its started..
What discs do you run with the DS3000?
03 Ebony black S3, Dieselgeek short shift, its started..
ATE Powerdiscs.
Yeah I'm in Reading so no problem you can come have a look. PM me.
<Insert meaningless geeky specs here>
so would the ferodo ds2500 pads be fine to use on OEM discs or would brembo be more appropriate?
DS2500s are fine on OEM discs.
<Insert meaningless geeky specs here>
thread ressurection i know but just wondering if people know the best place to buy the ds2500 pads
got mine here http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ not sure if they offer the best price tbh i didn't shop around
Badger 5 as per my previous post:
Best to ring him and confirm he has them in stock.
<Insert meaningless geeky specs here>
Dave, sorry to be a pain but can you help me pleeease.....
I just bought a set of 312mm OEM Audi TT 225 brakes (disc's, calipers and pads), getting them fitted next week along with B8's and a stage 2... anyhows, will the DS2500's fit on them?... may as well get better pads on at the same time I suppose.
Also, you mention the 3000's are far better, do they make lot of noise when using them or ok for every day use and wont drive me up the wall with squeaking.

i had a set of ate's on my old s3/r32, and they were the best brakes i have had on my car's to date, i couldnt cook them or anything, and i do drive my cars hard,
DS3000s squeal all the time with normal use.
Get some DS2500s instead for road use.
You just need the fronts, you can use standard rears.
<Insert meaningless geeky specs here>
I have some DS2500's, front braided hoses and Motul 600 fluid waiting at Badger Bill's for me... Only thing you need to remember is to sort out the pad wear indicator as the DS2500's don't have one

With his ear for the small town and his knack for finding the needle of humor in life's haystack, Philip Gulley might well be Indiana's answer to Missouri's Mark Twain. In I Love You, Miss Huddleston we are transported to 1970's Danville, Indiana, the everyone-knows-your-business town where Gulley still lives today, to witness the uproarious story of Gulley's young life, including his infatuation with his comely sixth-grade teacher, his dalliance with sin—eating meat on Friday and inappropriate activities with a mannequin named Ginger—and his checkered start with organized religion.
Sister Mary John had shown us a flannelgraph of the apostles receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. They looked quite happy, except that their hair was on fire. . . . I was suspicious of a religion whose highpoint was the igniting of one's head, and my enthusiasm for church, which had never been great, began to fade.
Even as Kennedy was facing down Khrushchev, Danny Millardo and his band of youthful thugs conducted a reign of terror still unmatched in the annals of Indiana history. With Gulley's sharp wit and keen observation, I Love You, Miss Huddleston captures these dramas and more, revisiting a childhood of unrelieved and happy chaos.
From beginning to end, Gulley recalls the hilarity (and heightened dangers) of those wonder years and the easy charm of midwestern life.less

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
An auto repair shop owner could be looking at jail time if he is convicted next month of violating the Town of Lockport's sign ordinance again.
David J. Mongielo was in Town Court on Wednesday to face another count of violating Lockport's sign ordinance. The law says any sign which is capable of changing the format or message may not change any more than once every 10 minutes.
Mongielo is accused of having his electronic videoboard sign change displays every few seconds to promote a benefit for Niagara County Sheriff's Deputy Allen Gerhardt. Gerhardt lost both of his legs in an accident in July.
Town prosecutor Bradley Marble said the alleged violation occurred Aug. 25. The sign is in front of Mongielo's Auto Specialties on Robinson Road.
Mongielo said his sign is used to promote benefits and community fundraisers. When he attends the events, Mongielo said he often gets positive feedback on the sign promotions.
"If they want to put me in jail for supporting a fundraiser, so be it," Mongielo said. "I enjoy helping people."
The trial was held Wednesday before Town Justice Raymond E. Schilling. Schilling will deliver his verdict at a court hearing Jan. 17 and will also sentence Mongielo if he is convicted of violating the ordinance.
Mongielo was found guilty on three counts of violating the town sign law in September 2010. He was cited on three different occasions He was fined $750, or $250 for each count.
With the fines came a one year conditional discharge that could carry a 15 day jail sentence. That simply means if Mongielo violates the ordinance again, he could receive jail time, Marble said.
Mongielo, who represented himself Wednesday, said a 10-minute video was introduced in court showing the sign's displays. The town argued the display had changed completely, whereas Mongielo said the it was a video and the format did not change.
Mongielo also argued that the law is selectively enforced. Other town businesses have signs that violated the ordinance, but Chief Building Inspector Brian Belson testified the businesses received warning letters and changed their signs.
Mongielo said town officials are harassing him.
The video of Mongielo's sign was recorded by Donald Jablonski, a town zoning board member. Jablonski is also the town Republican committee chairman. Mongielo is a GOP committee member as well but has had differences with Jablonski.
Contact reporter Joe Olenick at 439-9222, ext. 6241.

Like many parents, Bill Graham—the father of two active and always-hungry teenage sons—has stepped up to the plate on the crusade against junk food, given national campaigns against rising illnesses like diabetes.
And moreover, Graham can fuel healthy-snack options, and does, when selling to his customers—those who he supplies with machines and food from his company, A&M Vending in Cinnaminson.
Lighted slots still dispense the typical assortment of Doritos, M&M's and Oreo cookies. But for many firms wanting to nurture better eating habits, Graham dedicates two rows in the vending machines for healthier foods like Natural Wayz soups, Foods Should Taste Good multi-grain chips and low-carb fruit juices.
Graham sits at the helm of an establishment that provides snacks to 159 businesses in South Jersey and Philadelphia. His small office is tucked within a nondescript one-story building on Taylors Lane.
His arrival at A&M happened as a result of a dismal economy, corporate slashes and a strong motivation to own his own business one day.
For more than 20 years, Graham worked for Verizon, with most of his career there in the role as a senior support specialist. It was at Verizon where he met his wife, Diane, who still works for the company.
"I gave her a tour on her first day," says Graham, a friendly, low-key guy. "I then asked her to lunch."
His education at Burlington County Institute of Technology in automotive and diesel technology gave him the skills to become adept at fixing and overhauling equipment.
"My dad and brother are both riggers. I thought that's what I was going to do," Graham says.
At Verizon, he worked closely with technical teams and created design enhancements to Verizon's websites.
In 2008, Graham's department was phased out and he lost his job.
"It's not easy when it's all over like that," he says.
Throughout the next four years, Graham worked for ICT Group and TD Bank doing development work, similar to what he had been accustomed to at Verizon.
But he says the grit and grind of the corporate world began to disillusion him.
"It was always on the back burner to have my own company. I thought, why not try it now, instead of when I'm 60," Graham, 52, says.
Embarking on a vending business wasn't something that at first Graham considered. He admits he didn't have a lot of experience and didn't know quite what to expect.
"I looked at about 40 other businesses, a lot of them were retail. But, I didn't want something that was 24/7," he says, referring to the long and tedious hours that those in retail sometimes work.
With the help of Murray & Associates in Cherry Hill, a real estate company specializing in the brokerage of privately held companies, Graham bought the 28-year-old vending company in November 2010. It had been owned by the Schaeffer Family in Williamstown for the last 15 years.
The mid-size firm supplies machines and food to fitness centers, law firms, manufacturers, service stations, and schools. Local clients included Carquest Auto Parts, Coca-Cola and Harris Tea Co.
At the end of last year, Graham started looking into the healthy fare niche to offer his clients more options. He says a lot of the effort is trying to come up with foods that will hook vending machine patrons, while offering fair pricing—healthier snacks sometimes are more expensive.
"Some of these items don't have a long shelf life either, so we also have to be careful about that," Graham says, regarding foods trimmed of preservatives.
In his first year as owner—and by drawing on his strong computer knowledge—he streamlined his systems, reconfigured his database and reorganized the way invoices are administered. By year's end, profits grew by 19 percent, according to Graham.
Four employees—with nearly 75 years of cumulative work experience—stayed on and made the transition when Graham took over.
These days, the Cinnaminson resident isn't looking back.
"Even though I'm on my own," Graham says. "I'm much more relaxed in my own business."

SEATTLE - More World War II-era ammunition has been brought to the surface from underneath Seattle's busiest cruise ship terminal at Pier 91 in the Magnolia neighborhood.
The KING 5 Investigators broke the story of sunken ammo first discovered by Port of Seattle Police Department divers last month.
Most of what they recovered earlier this fall included harmless objects such as training rounds and empty shell casings. But they also discovered projectiles containing high explosive material.
On Thursday, Port of Seattle divers stumbled onto yet more ammunition at the bottom of Elliott Bay while working on a completely different project: inspecting pier pilings the Port is about to replace.
They brought a projectile to the surface and called explosive experts from the Army to inspect it.
Sources tell the KING 5 Investigators the round contained explosive material, but officially the Army says they suspect it was live, but extensive corrosion prevents them from making a decisive determination.
The site is a priority to take care of because of the unusual scenario of having discarded military ammunition so close to a high human traffic location. Hundreds of massive ships carrying thousands of tourists come in and out of Smith Cove Cruise Terminal in the spring and summer.
Acclaimed underwater munitions expert Jim Barton says all that activity is a concern.
"We are not in imminent danger of an explosion by these munitions, provided somebody doesn't drop something off the pier, somebody doesn't drive a pile off the pier, or a bow thruster (from a cruise ship) ... doesn't exert enough force to turn some loose projectiles on top of each other where it causes a detonation," said Barton.
The Navy used this area as a huge supply depot from World War II through the early 1970's.
When the Port of Seattle turned it into a cruise ship terminal they didn't know Navy ammo had been tossed or dropped off the pier. Jim Barton is surprised Port officials were surprised.
"Let's just get that straight right now. This is for anybody out there that has a pier that was once used by the military. You must expect them to have handled ammunition during whatever war was taking place during the use of that pier," said Barton. "Wherever munitions have been handled in the past, they have rolled off the pier, they've been dropped out of cargo net. It's perfectly normal, it's expected."
Now the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and the Port of Seattle are in a hurry to figure out exactly what's lurking below so they can clean it up before the big boats come back to Seattle in April.
The Coast Guard says they're taking the new findings seriously.
"The Coast Guard hopes this discovery encourages the Department of Defense to continue to make this remediation project a priority. What was found today magnifies the fact that we don't know what remains down there. We continue to work together with the Department of Defense and the Port of Seattle to ensure the safety of the community," said Lt. Jennifer Osburn, Coast Guard, Sector Puget Sound.

|Yes. Money for the 2010 election should not be the same as 2008
|No. Exposing more people to the library is worth the money

Another example of wasted public money. If they want to vote early at the library then cancel the normal election poll voting. Too much money is WASTED on holding elections anyway. They need to reduce the number of voting locations for one thing and reduce costs.

This was a waste of money. Voting at my regular place has NEVER been a problem. Plus, you can't visit the library during voting times because of all the extra people waiting for up to one hour to vote.

It is wasted money to Republicans because Obama won. It was easier for Bush to fix Florida when Jeb only needed one day to do it.

As Christians, we are called to both be like Jesus and to win others to himself. But what do people really think about Jesus and Christians respectively? This video explores that idea through the use of random interviews on the street in downtown Chicago.

Other Ways To Optimize Your Linux Battery Life
Published on 21 May 2014 10:33 PM EDT

15 Comments
After writing recently about the
PowerTOP 2.6
release and mentioning that some new power consumption/efficiency tests were in the works at Phoronix, a few readers wrote in asking about other ways to extend their battery life under Linux.
While the power efficiency of Linux on desktop/laptop systems is improving, overall it still doesn't appear to be on par with Windows 8 or OS X systems, especially when it comes to the "out of the box" power performance as shipped by default. PowerTOP is one of the easiest ways to drop your Linux power usage, but for those curious about other measures, here's some other common yet useful resources for new Linux users to make their systems more power efficient:
- The useful
site has a page on reducing power consumption. While ThinkWiki is mostly concerned about ThinkPads on Linux, the information shared on that Wiki page apply for the most part to other laptops.
- There's many power-saving suggestions on the always very useful
Arch Linux Wiki
. Like ThinkWiki, even if you're not an Arch Linux user, the information still is rather relevant to Linux users as a whole.
- There's also
a few tips on the Ubuntu Wiki
for some particular notebooks, but again they are rather broad suggestions that work for other hardware too.
If you have any other Linux power saving tips, feel free to comment on this article within the forums. My latest Linux power impact tests from PowerTOP will be out in the next few days.

ALIEF TAYLOR – The more stickers on a football player's helmet, the better. Taylor QB Remi Olonade doesn't have much room left on his.
"I just stay mentally focused into the game and execute everything I have to do," Olonade said.
The junior has put together a string of good games for the Lions. In the past two weeks he has score a combined 10 touchdowns, 8 through the air and 2 on the ground. He has 23 on the season.
"I want to get all my passes correctly, get everyone going. O-Line, everyone needs to speak louder and I want to be that leader," Olonade said.
While he is a force to deal with on the field, Remi admits the toughest part about being the team's starting quarterback is becoming a better leader. That was something he had to learn over the off-season.
"I just worked on getting active with the teammates to make everyone really listen," Olonade said. "We all came together and we all have chemistry together. We are always with each other."
Remi's work ethic comes from his parents. His father came to Houston from Nigeria and tells his son all the time to never get down on himself.
"My dad taught me how to stay on the right track and my mom taught me how to just be a leader," Olonade said. "She wants me to make sure I do the right things in class, academics then football."

5 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
salt and freshly ground black pepper
400g/14oz piece pork fillet, fat trimmed
65g/2½oz unsalted butter
1 apple, cut in half, core removed
½ tsp light brown sugar
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed to a paste with the edge of a knife
400g/14oz canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
100g/3½oz cheddar or Wensleydale cheese, grated
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
4-5 tbsp chicken stock
pinch caraway seeds
75g/2¾oz Savoy cabbage, core removed, shredded
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Drizzle one tablespoon of the olive oil into a shallow ovenproof dish, then sprinkle over the chopped rosemary and thyme and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the pork fillet into the dish and turn until completely coated in the herbs and oil.
Heat an ovenproof frying pan until hot. Add the seasoned pork fillet and fry for 1-2 minutes on all sides, or until browned all over.
Add 15g/½oz of the butter to the pan. When the butter is foaming, add the apple halves, cut-sides down, and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until golden-brown. Turn the apple halves over and sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the apples have caramelised. Remove the pan from the oven and set the pork aside to rest (reserve the pan juices). Keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of the remaining olive oil and 25g/1oz of the remaining butter in a separate saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until softened but not coloured.
Add the beans and continue to fry until heated through, then add the grated cheese and stir until melted.
Transfer the cheese and bean mixture to a food processor and blend to a rough purée.
Add the chopped parsley to the cheese and bean purée, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken stock, as necessary, to loosen the mixture.
Heat the remaining oil and butter in a wok or frying pan over a high heat. Add the caraway seeds and stir fry for 10-20 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the shredded cabbage and stir fry for a further 1-2 minutes.
Add the remaining 2-3 tablespoons of stock and season the cabbage, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage has wilted.
To serve, carve the pork on the diagonal into thick slices. Spoon the bean and cheese purée into the centre of two serving plates. Pile the wilted caraway cabbage on top. Arrange the pork slices on top of the cabbage. Place one caramelised apple half alongside each serving. Drizzle over the reserved pan juices.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

NTSB: DUI Limit Should Be Lowered to 0.05% Blood-Alcohol Level
Published May 15th, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - It didn't take a high profile case to get people in north central Florida to think about drinking and driving; it's in the spotlight once again following a recommendation by a federal agency to lower the legal limit.
On Tuesday, members of the National Transportation Safety Board officially recommended that all states lower their legal blood alcohol limit to .05, below the current limit of .08.
When making their decision, board members looked at a number of countries overseas, including Australia, which recently saw a sharp decline in traffic fatalities involving alcohol after lowering its limit to .05.
While the recommendation was made with safety in mind, one Gainesville attorney who's been defending DUI cases for more than 40 years says lowering the legal limit would likely not make much of a difference in the number of alcohol-related vehicle deaths.
"The folks that are in the most serious accidents usually have a [BAC of] .15 or above," said Jeffrey Meldon, a personal injury and DUI attorney. "A .05 is a very low level, and the number of drinks that it takes can be anywhere from 1 to 3 drinks to get to a .05," said Meldon.
Meldon encourages lawmakers to look at other ways to enforce the current limit, such as installing breathalyzers in cars.
Meantime, members of the law enforcement community say they welcome any effort that will lower the number of impaired divers on America's roadways.

Two Sabres prospects -- forward Zack Kassian and defenseman Brayden McNabb -- have been named to Hockey Canada's national junior team development camp, which will help determine the squad for the world junior tournament in Buffalo this winter.
Kassian, the Sabres' first-round pick from last year who was recently charged with assault, is coming off a playoff run of 16 points in 19 games as Windsor won the Memorial Cup. McNabb, selected in the third round last year, has become an imposing defenseman for Kootenay. The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder had 57 points (including 40 assists) and 121 penalty minutes in 64 games.
There are 41 players invited to the August camp, and the roster will be announced in December just prior to the start of the tournament.
"There are a number of tremendously talented players across Canada in this age group, and the players named today will have a terrific opportunity to showcase their abilities against the best the country has to offer," Hockey Canada head scout Al Murray said. "We are looking forward to a very competitive, high-energy camp."

DENVER -- We're on the scene at Coors Field and Terry Francona has made his toughest decision so far in the World Series. With no designated hitter, David Ortiz will play first base for the Red Sox Saturday night in Game Three. Mike Lowell will stay at third base and Kevin Youkilis will be on the bench. Francona said Ortiz's knees are fine and he hopes the Sox have a lead so he can put Youkilis in for the late innings. We'll see how this one goes, given Youkilis' terrific postseason at the plate and the hole his absence creates in the Boston lineup.

Yesterday in Polk County ...
Article Author: David James
The Great Bridge Collapse
Mamie first heard a loud noise. She saw the bridge collapsing along with a large tractor-trailer and a passenger car. All on the bridge plunged into the icy waters of the Hiwassee River.
It was the afternoon of January 6, 1949. The bridge spanned U.S. Highway 411 midway between Etowah and Benton. Both news accounts and the memory of those still living differ as to the exact time of day. Some think as early as 1:45 p.m. or as late as 3 p.m.
Mamie Plumley, 16, (Now Mrs. Knox Henry Melton of Etowah) was sitting on the back steps of her home located just up the hill on the south side of the river and on the west side of U.S. 411.
Mamie shouted for her family to come outside and they rushed down the hill to witness what had just occurred. As they stood at the water's edge, the site looked like carnage. She told The Polk County News this week, "There was nothing we could do. We saw three men climb out of a black car and on top of the roof of the auto. They were halfway across the river."
The three men were Wes Harbison, 55, James H. 'Sackey' Culpeper, 45, and R.L. Lanning, 28, all residents of Delano just a mile to the north. Harbison was the father of longtime Etowah educator Andy Harbison. Culpepper was the Uncle of Max 'Dad' Culpeper of Delano. Lanning was the father of Joe Dean Lanning of Reliance and Larry 'Ode' Lanning of Etowah.
The 1947 black Ford passenger car, driven by Harbison, was traveling north in front of the big rig. Habrison later told a Chattanooga newspaper, "I looked in the rear-view mirror and the big truck was jack-knifing. The bridge was falling behind us. I tried to speed up but it was too late. We slid backwards into the water."
The truck was under deep water but the car carrying the three men only sank to its rooftop. Some conjectured that it was sitting on a large underwater boulder. Lanning was finally able to get the car window down and the three men exited the car and climbed onto its roof.
Upon hearing what had occurred, Cecil Lanning (brother of R.L.) and Roy Bryant came quickly from their home on the Benton side with a rubber raft and went into the river. The pair pulled themselves along the swift water by holding onto portions of the collapsed bridge. When they reached the passenger car, they pulled the men into the raft and made their way back to the shore on the Benton side.
As the above was taking place, Hub and Ester (Ester was R.L.'s sister) Burris went to the Lanning home in Delano to inform R.L.'s wife, Irene, and then 10 year-old Joe Dean and 8 year-old 'Ode'. The family was driven to the scene by Andy Harbison. Both Joe Dean and Ode told The Polk County News, "When we got the river Dad, Wes, and Sackey were on the Benton side and out on the shore. They were cold but not hurt."
As traffic began to back up, Polk County Sheriff John Edwards had traffic south at Ocoee diverted into Cleveland and eventually onto to U.S. Hwy 411. In Etowah traffic was diverted onto what is now the "old" Athens Highway 30 and eventually over to Highway 11 west of Athens.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Troopers T.J. Sirey and Tom Moore assisted in finding the two men in the truck. On January 7th, a ten-man team from the Tennessee Highway Patrol was able to cut open the top of the rig and secure the two bodies.
Dead at the scene were two brothers, Guy R. Rickard, of Deerfield Michigan, and Hayes Rickard, Jr., of Britton, Michigan. They were brought to the surface by Tom Burnette and Blair Ramsey of the Highway Department Rescue Team. According to reports, the pair died by drowning.
The bridge itself had been built in 1908 by the Joilet (Illinois) Bridge Company. Two men at the scene, Charles Cole and H.M. McClary, told an area news publication, "The bridge did not have a weight limit sign. There had not been one there for a number of years."
Mamie Plumley told The Polk County News, "Later after the bridge collapsed, my brother used a canoe for 2-3 days ferrying people back and forth across the river. Some needed to get to Etowah and some to Benton."
Sixty-three years later folks still talk about the collapse. Some speculate that there were 3 men in the big truck that was carrying oranges, apples, pecans, and tangerines. A third body never surfaced.
Eventually the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built a temporary pontoon bridge to again connect the two neighboring cities of Benton and Etowah.

Jury See's Bloody Photos in Yager Murder Trial
Nov 2nd @ 8:59 am in News by Scott Staley
The Nathan Yager murder trial continued yesterday with several pictures that painted a "grotesque" death. The defense was trying to keep the photos from the jury due the extremely bloody, graphic and repetitive nature of the death of Melinda Tackett Yager, saying it might prejudice the jury more than inform them. Prosecution argued these photos showed the true injuries prior to an autopsy and how she appeared at the crime scene in Paonia. Ultimately, the judge allowed most pictures. The trial continues next week.

Seattle Police Arrest 17 'Clowns' During May Day March
Police say anti-capitalists attacked them with metal rods, fireworks and a skateboard.
Seattle police say 17 anti-capitalist demonstrators were arrested Wednesday on property destruction and assault charges after the city's annual march for worker and immigrant rights. Eight officers were injured in the May Day melee, police say.
An account of the events posted by Sergeant Sean Whitcomb on the Seattle Police Department's website says that the "scuffles between clowns and our local superheroes" started with an unpermitted 6 p.m. PDT "Anti-Capitalist/Anti-State" march, two hours after the large annual march ended.
"The behavior of the group during the evening demonstration steadily escalated into violence. Just after 7 p.m., protestors began spraying the costumed Rain City Superheroes with silly string," Whitcomb wrote. The "superheroes" he mentions are volunteers who claim to help fight crime in the city. "Shortly after that, the window at Sun Liquor was smashed," he wrote.

During the following two hours, Whitcomb recounted, agitated demonstrators "began shoving and attacking reporters" and "began damaging property, throwing fireworks and rocks at officers."
"After demonstrators began throwing metal rods and full water bottles at officers and business windows, officers moved in and made arrests," Whitcomb wrote. "When officers arrested several protesters and began loading them into transport vans, demonstrators surrounded the officers and prevented the vehicles from leaving."
Protesters ignored a police demand that they leave the areas and "continued to hurl rocks, bottles, fireworks and a skateboard at officers."

The non-compliant, asphalt-throwing crowd was eventually chased through the city by officers wielding pepper spray and "blast balls," dispersing around 9 p.m., local time, according to Whitcomb. Seven officers suffered "bumps and bruises" and a policewoman's knee was injured by a fist-size rock. A bystander was hurt when a glass bottle went through her car window.
Earlier on Wednesday, several thousand people participated in the larger annual march. Under the headline "Seattle May Day marchers keep the peace," KING-TV reported that some protesters were eager for excitement. One gas mask-wearing protester told the TV station: "I'm hoping that somebody will spark the flame. I'm not saying anarchy is completely right, but it's a better way than capitalism right now."
There wasn't an immediate tally of the cost of property damage Thursday morning. The Stranger reports that FBI agents paid visits last week to several people associated with protests on May Day last year that left some Seattle banks and other businesses with broken windows.

What is Taurus' soul mate? To respond to that issue the phrase soul mate demands to be outlined. It is the other fifty percent of your missing spirit. When you fulfill your soul mate, the halves become a single.
In seeking for a soul mate, a person are unable to exclusively look to the sunshine indication. The carry out birth charts of both equally men or women are desired. The arrangement of the celestial bodies at the working day, place and time of an individual's birth will perform into the character of them. A Taurus will pair nicely with an unique with the sign of Capricorn, but if they have conflicting indicators in other locations of the chart they could perhaps not get along at all. A Taurus with an Aquarius climbing is incompatible with a Capricorn with a Cancer growing. The personal with the indications ofTaurus/Aquarius would be totally domestic, although the Capricorn/Cancer would want to modification consistently, perhaps shifting consistently. At very first glance, Taurus and Capricorn get the job done clearly alongside one another, but the increasing symptoms, Aquarius and Most cancers would bring about tension within just the association.
The signal of Taurus signifies the sunshine sign only. Taurus persons are extremely sensual and tactile. They absolutely adore wonderful meals, professional wine, elaborate deserts. The Taurus person has a lustful approach to lifestyle in all of its sort. Taurus is amazingly loyal and trustworthy and expects the very same from their soul mate. So, with consideration of only the sun indicator a nice choice would be Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio. The soul-to-soul relationship in this article is that Taurus will offer the materials society of their union and the h2o signal will in return cling to that stability.
If the cardinal, or mutable symptoms were being to be thought of as, then the optimum solution would be an alternative fixed indicator. The set indications are Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius. The cardinal indicators (Aries, Libra, Most cancers, and Capricorn) interfere with the routine as well much, while the mutable indications (Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo and Pisces) will only speak about supplying steadiness for the Taurus.

A day after a former athlete was dismissed from the University of Washington (UW) football program because of a violation of team rules, head coach Steve Sarkisian had a change of heart and reinstated the tight end to the team.
"We gathered some more information on the situation and it felt like the right thing to do," Sarkisian told reporters after Friday night's team practice. "We met with some of the team leaders on the team and it felt like the right thing to do ... their punishment will be handled in house and I think that they're thankful for the opportunity to get back and I think that their teammates are happy to have them back."
According to Sarkisian's initial statement to The Seattle Times football blog, Perkins and Huskies' teammate Willis Wilson were kicked off the football team Thursday due to an unspecified team violation:
"Joshua Perkins and Willis Wilson have been dismissed from the University of Washington football team due to a violation of team rules, Coach Steve Sarkisian announced today.
Neither Coach Sarkisian, nor the University, will have any further comment on this matter.''
Both players were reinstated to the team on Friday and took part in the evening practice, working several reps with the No. 2 offense, according to the News Tribune.
Perkins A Gifted Athlete at Gahr

Enjoyed at the brewery in st Louis. 1.5 finger head with poor retention on a clear bright golden body. This beer is pretty much odorless. Flavor Is also really mild with mostly light grain and rice. No hop or supporting flavors but also not bitter or off putting. Light body ad high carbonation. Incredibly boring beer. Obviously easy to drink but also it's lack of flavor will bore you into not wanting another.

Michelob Golden Draft Light has a thick, stark-white head, a clear straw, bubbly appearance, and a bit of lacing left behind. The aroma is of sweet, slightly musty grain, and the flavor is similar. The beer is quite akin to other major, mass-produced light beers. Mouthfeel is light and watery, and Michelob Golden Draft Light finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, and dry. Overall, it's a very good beer.

Look is clear pale gold yellow. Smell is faint... boiled/fermented corn, hint of freshly cut grass. Taste is clean, crisp, air. Really not much: grain, malts some cooked corn, hint of grass and a slight foul spoiled flavor. Very light feel; extremely carbonated.
I don't like to unfairly bash beers like this, but this just isn't enjoyable. Halfway decent at times, till the "garbage juice" flavor hits you. For some reason it's huge in the midwest and seems to be at almost every bar I go to. It's always cheap as dirt, but even at a good price it isn't worth it.

This beer is light beer so I will compare it to other light beers. It does not compare to more roboust beers as it is not meant to be. The flavor was decent and it went down easy. If there was a drinkability rating it would get a 4.5. The color was as expected for its style light golden transparent. It was priced right at $3 for a 20oz draft on happy hour. The flavor was mild but still decent for its style. I did not feel like I ate a meal after a couple. If you like like light beer I would recommend trying this one.

look: 2 | smell: 2 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5
Appearance: Transparent straw. Very light in color. Basically non-existant bright white head.
Aroma: Almost nothing. A little bit of bread.
Taste: Starts with a just a hint of pale malt but turns into corn by then end. No bitterness. Probably one of the least bitter 'pilseners' in the world. Any flavor potential this brew had was ruined by how watered down it is.
Mouthfeel: Super effervescent to the point of being annoyingly fizzy. Very thin. Above average drinkability but drinks like soda water. Basically the same experience as drinking a Coke.
Final Thoughts: While not the worst macro-lager, Michelob Golden Light is definitely low-class. It's the usual choice for frat parties and other mindless drinking activities but has absolutely no place in a now booming beer industry full of such better options.

Poured a translucent yellow with a big, foamy head. No retention or lacing. Smells like you typical AAL, except lighter, with the usual cereal grains, and a touch more corn sweetness. Tastes the same as the scent. Corn sweetness is the biggest flavor here, and helps detract from the otherwise fairly bad taste. Very light, not quite as carbonated as other cheap lagers, and easy to drink.
Overall, a regional beer that I think might have success elsewhere outside of the midwest.

Kid's Clothes Week Challenge is coming up next week. I always feel a little sheepish participating, because I actually *do* have plenty of time to sew each week (the challenge is to take 1 hour every day and sew for your kids) because I am already lucky enough to have 2 or 3 days each week when the kids are both in preschool and kindergarten, and I've designated that time very strictly as "work-time" so that I can write blog posts, design patterns, and sew. It's surprising though how little of that time actually turns into real sewing time for stuff for my kids though, so KCWC is a great motivator for me to look through the closet, find the gaps, and make the things that need making…like leggings, or fall coats, or whatever.
This morning I sat down to make my KCWC goals and started piling up fabric and patterns and soon decideed I really need to try and coordinate a little bit with what I've already made them (you know, maybe try and match some of what they already have?) or it's going to turn into Crazytown over here. So I opened up iPhoto, to look for pictures of stuff I made them already this year, and realized that I have a HUGE backlog of handmade garments that got sewn, but never blogged. Sheesh. Before I can start making more clothes for Elliot and Clementine, I really want to unload these photos on the blog.
So this week, as part of my personal countdown to KCWC, I'm going to be throwing pictures at the blog of things I've made for the kids this year that never got blogged. It's my own little challenge, to try and "clean out the virtual closet" before I go and make more clothes for them. I'll even show you some of the new kids patterns I've been working on. That will be fun. Here we go!!!

I had to edit my fabric choices too–so we don't go to crazy town! I love your little challenge and I can't wait to see all the clothes you've been hiding from us!
Amanda says:
I am so excited to see what you've sewn for them! I am doing KCWC for the first time this year and am going to get organized this week too!
Lisa says:
Rather than actually sewing for my own kids, I think I should convince my mom to sew some stuff for ME! Wouldn't that be awesome? And totally selfless…I'm helping her keep her skills sharp.

hee I love this.

There is a nation-wide class action lawsuit against Papa John's Pizza.
Customers filed the $250 Million lawsuit because they say the popular pizza chain has sent out a half million unwanted spam texts.
The messages offered pizza deals, but some customers said they got 15 or 16 of them in a row, in the middle of the night.
One of the plaintiffs said Papa John's never asked permission to text the advertisements, which were banned by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991.
The plaintiffs are seeking $500 per text, but could get up to $1,500 per text.
The company's corporate office says they were not involved because the lawsuit involves a small number of their franchises.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Niagara County Sheriff Jim Voutour says it was citizen outrage that sparked his office to launch an undercover probe of welfare fraud at Niagara Falls food stores.
"You know, we'd get the complaints from people who'd be in these stores and they'd call us and say, 'You can't believe what these people are buying (with food stamps),'" Voutour said.
Or in some cases, what they were not buying.
"We looked at some of these stores and at the amount they were processing in food stamps," Voutour said. "We had stores that were processing enormous amounts of food stamps, but they didn't have the inventory of (food stuffs) to support (the food stamp redemptions)."
On Monday, Voutour and Niagara County District Attorney Michael Violante dropped the hammer and arrested the owners of two Falls mini-marts, charging them with a raft of fraud related crimes.
The charges followed a four-month, undercover investigation. Investigators from the Sheriff's Office posing as food stamp recipients were able to make a series of fraudulent transactions at both the Indian General Store, 1611 Pine Ave., and Merry Mart, 336 19th St., between September and January.
Voutour said it was shocking how easily the fraud took place.
"It took (the undercover investigators) some time and some rapport," Voutour said, "and they made some normal purchases. But then they were able to move into the illegal stuff pretty easily."
Charged and arraigned in Falls City Court on Monday were Jasbir Kaur and Shamsher Singh, the owners of Indian General Store.
Kaur, 52, was charged with second-degree grand larceny, misuse of food stamps, first-degree falsifying business records, first-degree tampering with public records, third-degree welfare fraud and three counts of first-degree offering a false instrument.
Singh, 59, was charged with second-degree grand larceny, misuse of food stamps, first-degree falsifying business records, first-degree tampering with public records, third-degree welfare fraud and first-degree offering a false instrument.
Investigators said during the course of the food stamp investigation they also linked Kaur and Singh to a Medicaid fraud scheme and charged them with that as well.
Also charged and arraigned on Monday was Merry Mart owner Wael Rizek. Rizek, 42, was charged with third-degree grand larceny, misuse of food stamps, six counts of first-degree falsifying business records and six counts of first-degree tampering with public records.
City Court Judge Angelo Morinello set bail for all three men at $5,000 cash or $10,000 property.
Voutour said that during the course of the investigation more than $180,000 was confiscated. The sheriff said he is working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to seize the funds and return them to the taxpayers of Niagara County.
"This took a lot of time and a lot of effort, but the result was pretty good," Voutour said.
As part of the investigation, 38 Niagara County food stamp clients, who were committing unauthorized purchases with food stamp funds and/or selling their food stamps for cash, were identified and interviewed. In return for their cooperation, the individuals were not criminally charged, but they did agree to settlements that discontinue their food stamp eligibility for one year.
The savings to Niagara County taxpayers as a result of those deals is estimated at over $100,000.
Voutour said the probe is ongoing, with additional retail locations and food stamp clients being investigated.
"This investigation was absolutely meant to send a message that (food stamp) fraud will not be tolerated," Voutour said.
The sheriff's office was assisted in the investigation by the Niagara County District Attorney's Office, the Niagara County Department of Social Services, the United States Department of Agriculture Office of Inspector General and the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.

After the horrific shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, many people thousands of miles away in KOTA Territory are trying to find ways they can help the school.
Seth Larson is the owner of Cloud Peak Cross Fit in Sheridan. He says that as a father, the tragic shooting in Connecticut shook him and he wanted to do something to help the students still at Sandy Hook Elementary.
"My wife and I have two little boys. After last Friday's events, we wondered how kids could go back to school and feel comfortable," said Larson.
What he came up with was having people come in all day Thursday and do as many 'burpees' as they could to raise money for the school.
"Burpees are something that anybody can do. Everybody can get up and down off the floor. Some people have gotten sponsors that are giving them a flat rate for doing it. Other people are being sponsored per burpee, so they're being challenged, said Larson.
Today's goal was set at 26,000 for the 26 victims and Larson says each burpee represents a prayer for the victims and their families.
But in order to reach 26,000, that means some are doing more than 1,000 in a row.
"My two hours of sacrifice are nothing compared to what it was for the community, the students, the families who lost all those people," said Erika Sanders, who did more than 1,000 burpees.
Larson says that the funds raised will go to the school and he hopes the money can provide a way for the students and the school to get back to normal.
"Be it a carnival day, pizza parties, some type of gym equipment. Whatever would make the school fun for those kids again," said Larson.
Larson is still counting the money raised, but says 47,121 burpees were done by participants.

The European Commission (EC) is proposing plans for a two-pronged tax strategy - a Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) that would need to be implemented globally and a Financial Activities Tax (FAT) to operate within Europe.
"This is good progress," said Anton Kerr, head of policy at the Alliance. "We have just taken a step closer to a Robin Hood Tax but we need to ensure that a significant proportion of the money that is raised through European taxation will go to the poor and support health initiatives, development and climate change in the developing world, where it is desperately needed."
A FTT would tax every transaction based on its transaction value, resulting in substantial revenue raised.
At a European level the Commission is considering implementing a FAT. This would target the profits and remunerations of financial companies.
The EC worked on the basis that the financial sector needs to make a fair contribution to public finances, particularly because the finance sector was a major cause of the financial crisis and received substantial financial support over the past few years.
With urgently needed new sources of revenue in the current economic climate required the two pronged approach was put forward to contribute to the cost of re-building Europe's economies.
The ideas will be presented to the European Council towards the end of this month and then to the G20 Summit in November, with the aim of encouraging international partners to agree on a global approach.
"All that is needed now is the political will to ensure that this continues to move forward," added Marielle Hart, head of EU policy at Stop AIDS Alliance in Brussels. "Stop AIDS Alliance will be closely monitoring developments."
