Event to explore perceptions of Christians
What people really think of Christians will be explored at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Lifetree Cafe, 1110 Campus Drive, Suite C.
The program, titled "What People Really Think of Christians ... and Why," features an exclusive filmed interview with Gabe Lyons, author of the bestselling book "UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity and Why It Matters."
"Christians are sometimes viewed as hypocritical or judgmental," said Lifetree representative Craig Cable. "We'll discuss whether that reputation is deserved."
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages will be available.
Lifetree Cafe is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting.
Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Craig Cable at (970) 292-4697 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

LOS ANGELES - Rodney King, the black motorist whose 1991 videotaped beating by Los Angeles police officers was the touchstone for one of the most destructive race riots in the nation's history, was found at the bottom of his swimming pool early Sunday and later pronounced dead. He was 47.
King's fiancTe called 911 at 5:25 a.m. to report that she found him in the pool at their home in Rialto, Calif., police Lt. Dean Hardin said.
Officers arrived to find King in the water and unresponsive, with no signs of foul play. He was transported to Arrowhead Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:11 a.m., Hardin said.
The 1992 riots, which were set off by the acquittals of the officers who beat King, lasted three days and left 55 people dead, more than 2,000 injured and swaths of Los Angeles on fire. At the height of the violence, King pleaded on television: "Can we all get along?"
King, a 25-year-old on parole from a robbery conviction, was stopped for speeding on a darkened street on March 3, 1991. Four Los Angeles police officers hit him more than 50 times with their batons, kicked him and shot him with stun guns.
A man who had quietly stepped outside his home to observe the commotion videotaped most of it and turned a copy over to a TV station. It was played over and over for the following year, inflaming racial tensions across the country.
It seemed that the videotape would be the key evidence to a guilty verdict against the officers, whose trial was moved to the predominantly white suburb of Simi Valley, Calif. Instead, on April 29, 1992, a jury with no black members acquitted three of the officers on state charges in the beating; a mistrial was declared for a fourth.
Violence erupted immediately, starting in South Los Angeles.
Police, seemingly caught off-guard, were quickly outnumbered by rioters and retreated. As the uprising spread to the city's Koreatown area, shop owners armed themselves and engaged in running gun battles with looters.
During the riots, a white truck driver named Reginald Denny was pulled by several black men from his cab and beaten almost to death. He required surgery to repair his shattered skull, reset his jaw and put one eye back into its socket.
King himself, in his recently published memoir, "The Riot Within: My Journey from Rebellion to Redemption," said FBI agents warned him a riot was expected if the officers were acquitted, and urged him to keep a low profile so as not to inflame passions.
The police chief, Daryl Gates, who had been hailed as an innovator in the national law enforcement community, came under intense criticism from city officials who said officers were slow to respond to the riots, and resigned under pressure soon after. Gates died of cancer in 2010.
The four officers who beat King -- Stacey Koon, Theodore Briseno, Timothy Wind and Laurence Powell -- were indicted in the summer of 1992 on federal civil rights charges. Koon and Powell were convicted and sentenced to two years in prison, and King was awarded $3.8 million in damages.
In the two decades after he became the central figure in the riots, King was arrested several times, mostly for alcohol-related crimes, the last in Riverside Calif., last July. He later became a record company executive and a reality TV star, appearing on shows such as "Celebrity Rehab."
In an interview earlier this year with The Associated Press, King said he was a happy man.
"America's been good to me after I paid the price and stayed alive through it all," he says. "This part of my life is the easy part now."
The San Bernardino County coroner will perform an autopsy on King within 48 hours.
Major players from the 1992 Los Angeles riots
Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by four Los Angeles police officers set off 1992's Los Angeles race riots and became a touchstone in U.S. race relations, was found dead at his home on Sunday. The riots killed 55 people, injured more than 2,000 and caused $1 billion in damage. Below, a look at the players in King's beating, trial and the riots that followed, and where they are now.
King's videotaped beating on the night of March 3, 1991, triggered the Los Angeles riots more than a year later, when three of the officers who beat him were acquitted of all charges. On the third day of the riots, he famously pleaded on national television, "Can we all get along?" In the years since he has been arrested numerous times, mainly for alcohol-related crimes, and has made several attempts at rehabilitation, including an appearance on television's "Celebrity Rehab." He received a $3.8 million settlement from the city but recently told The Associated Press much of that money was lost to bad investments. King was found dead on June 17 at age 47 at the bottom of his swimming pool in Rialto, Calif. He had published a memoir earlier in 2012 titled "The Riot Within: My Journey From Rebellion to Redemption."
Gates had been Los Angeles' chief of police for 14 years when the rioting erupted and was pressured to retire shortly afterward. Until then, he had been nationally respected for pioneering such innovations in policing as the special weapons and tactics (SWAT) team and the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) programs that partner police with schools. But he was also a polarizing force in the city's black community over perceived racism and remarks like one he made that blacks were more likely to die when placed in police chokeholds because their arteries did not reopen as quickly as those of "normal people." Gates, who blamed his command staff for letting the riot get out of control, died of cancer in 2010. He was 83.
Denny, the white truck driver who drove into the epicenter of the riots of rage and was pulled by several black men from his cab and nearly beaten to death, underwent numerous operations to repair his shattered head, put an eye back into its socket and reset his jaw. After the beating, he publicly forgave his attackers and even met with one of them on Phil Donahue's television show. Since then, he has remained steadfastly out of the limelight, living quietly in Arizona, and declining interview requests. He did not respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press on the riot's 20th anniversary.
Holliday, a plumber, was awakened by a traffic stop outside his San Fernando Valley home on the night of March 3, 1991. He went outside to film it with his new video camera, catching four officers beating and kicking black motorist Rodney King. The video's subsequent broadcast led to worldwide outrage and criminal charges against the officers. When they were acquitted the following year, the riot broke out. Holliday declined to discuss the 20th anniversary of the riot. A friend, Roby Massarotto, told The Associated Press he is busy working on a documentary about the making of the famous video.
Watson was one of several men videotaped attacking white truck driver Reginald Denny at the beginning of the riot. He was convicted of misdemeanor assault and sentenced to time served for the 17 months he spent in jail before his case was resolved. Watson, who later apologized to Denny, operates his own limousine business in Los Angeles. He has two daughters in college and recently returned to his childhood home, near the site where Denny was attacked, to care for his elderly mother.
Williams was the attacker seen on videotape smashing Denny in the back of the head with a brick. He was convicted of mayhem, assault and other charges and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Released after four years, he was convicted of the 2000 murder of a Los Angeles drug dealer and sentenced to 46 years to life in prison, where he remains.
Miller was convicted of robbing Denny during the beating and sentenced to 27 months of probation. He was shot to death in a Hollywood nightclub in 2005.
Williams, who was videotaped going through Denny's pockets as he lay on the ground, pleaded guilty to beating and attempting to rob the truck driver. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
The Korean grocer's killing of a 15-year-old black girl, Latasha Harlins, in a dispute over a bottle of orange juice, raised tensions in the black community just two weeks after King's beating. Tensions escalated even more when she was convicted of manslaughter but sentenced only to probation and community service. Many in Los Angeles' black community still say that played almost as big a role in triggering the riot as King's beating.
Green was one of the riot's greatest heroes. The black truck driver was watching the violence unfold on television at his Los Angeles home when he saw Denny being attacked and quickly headed to the scene. He helped push Denny back into his truck's cab and then drove him to the hospital, saving his life. Later, despite threats and insults from the community, he went on to testify against Denny's attackers. He and his family have since moved to a suburb east of Los Angeles and he did not respond to messages for comment. On the 10th anniversary of the riot, he told the Los Angeles Times: "I can tell my kids that color is on the outside, not the inside. To me, I turned justice around and showed them that all black people ain't the same as you think."
Koon was the police sergeant in charge when Rodney King was beaten. A 14-year veteran of the LAPD who had been commended repeatedly for his work, he has always maintained that King's arrest was handled properly. In his book, "Presumed Guilty: The Tragedy of the Rodney King Affair," Koon blamed the riot on the news media and city officials. Acquitted of criminal charges, he was later convicted of violating King's civil rights and sentenced to 30 months in prison. Koon, 61, retired after the King beating and lives in an LA suburb.
Powell is the officer seen on the video hitting King more than 40 times. Acquitted of criminal charges, he was convicted of violating King's civil rights and sentenced to 30 months in prison. Powell, who lives in the San Diego area, has said he will no longer discuss the incident.
Wind, a highly regarded rookie cop until the King beating, is seen on the videotape striking King with his baton. Acquitted of all charges, he was still fired by the LAPD and struggled in subsequent years to find work. He eventually enrolled in law school and has moved to the Midwest.
Briseno, who stomped on King's back during the beating (he claimed to keep him on the ground so the beating would stop), broke ranks with his fellow officers and sharply criticized their actions. A fellow police officer quoted him as saying immediately after King's arrest that the situation had been mishandled by Koon, the sergeant in charge. During his criminal trial he testified that Powell, who struck King the most, was out of control and that the beating was excessive. Acquitted of all charges, he struggled to find work afterward, at one point taking a job as a security guard. He has moved to the Midwest.

Food items to bring back from Spain
I am currently living in Beijing, and a friend of mine from here who is leaving on a month-long trip to Spain shortly has offered to bring me back whatever I'd like from there. I have been to Spain a few times, and so have a few ideas of my own, but if you were offered this opportunity (and bearing in mind luggage issues, and the realities of international borders) what would you want brought back?
If custom allows it, cheese and cured pork product. Saffron, unsmoked pimenton, dried beans, aged sherry vinegar, bomba rice, oiled packed tuna, anchovies, turron, marcona almonds.
re: PBSF
UN-smoked pimenton, a crime! That wouldn't be pimenton a la vera, merely paprika.
Absolutely pimenton, absurdly flavorful on top of eggs, in Mexican/Spanish dishes, in red pasta sauce, on top of roast chicken, great for vegetarian dishes because it gives a smoky, almost meaty, depth. Amazing, amazing stuff. Pimenton are special peppers roasted over mesquite, then ground into powder. The best brand is La Dalia, in the blue and white tin with the big red flower. Storefront and factory is near Jarandilla, look it up. I prefer the Dulce to the hotter Picante.

Gyros meat on spits gave off delicious aromas Thursday morning as volunteers sliced it in preparation for Niles' Big Greek Food Fest, set to open at 5 p.m. Friday.
Other volunteers--about 20 in all, with more pledged to arrive later in the day--worked outdoors to set up tables inside tents pitched in the parking lot. People hurried between the building and the tents outdoors making preparations.
is running the fest Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening.
Organizers promise lots of authentic Greek food, Greek music and more.
"We have been preparing this since January," said Georgia Botsis, one of the lead coordinators.
Nearly 100 volunteers have been helping since Wednesday to get all the food prepared and cooked. Roughly 75 volunteers are cooking up a feast for the three day fest.
Last year 14,000 people showed up to the fest. This year organizers said they are hoping for a similar turnout.
"There are 650 families in the parish alone," said Botsis.

You recently editorialized about an earlier piece written by Frank Parlato concerning the inequality between Indian-owned and operated businesses and those non-Indian businesses trying to compete.
In your editorial, you posed questions about how this unfair advantage enjoyed by Indian tribal businesses could be remedied. The solution to this problem was directly addressed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1998 case titled "Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma vs. Manufacturing Technologies Inc. (523 U.S. 721).
In that case, a unanimous nine-judge court concluded that the court-created doctrine of legal and tax immunity for Indian tribes was created in a 1921 case for entirely different purposes and to protect small, dependent and nascent Indian tribes.
The justices reasoned that in this day and age, when Indian tribes and tribal governments own and operate huge business empires and huge and varied multi-million dollar corporate holdings, that application of this immunity doctrine in such cases, was clearly an improper anachronism.
In the end, however, six of the nine justices of the court opined that the problem these court cases created by allowing Indian tribal immunity to e extended to these business enterprises, should be fixed by Congress.
Justice Stevens, writing for the three judge minority, put it succinctly saying: "Why should an Indian tribe have greater immunity than the United States, all the several states and every foreign sovereign nation?"
The court did not stop at that point, however, and they suggested a simple solution to Congress in order to eliminate this unfair business largesse'. They suggested that Congress amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act to include Indian tribes and their business enterprises. That federal law provides that any foreign sovereign nation like France, England, Japan or Costa Rica, who did business in this country, with this country or with any citizen of this country, is obligated to obey all federal, state and local laws, pay all the same taxes and is amenable to be sued in all the courts of the land for their misdeeds just like every other domestic busines.
That case was decided 10 years ago, and Congress has done nothing.
There are two primary reasons for this. First, it has been politically incorrect to curb any activities of Indian tribes, even when their true identity is suspect or they are nothing but a front for other non-Indian busines empires.
The second reason is that the vast sums of money available through gambling casinos and resulting from legal and tax-immunized businesses, allow cotributions to be made to Congressmen and senators, lobbyists and their ilk, invitably has prevented any ovement in Congress to fix this incredibly unfair advantage.
It cannot be overlooked in this contet that the landmark McCain/Feingold federal campaign reform, reporting and Contribution Limitation Act conspicuously omits any limitation on Indian tribal contributins to politicians, thus ensuring that nothing is likey to be done to limit tribal business exploitation of this outdated sovereign immunity doctrine to the detriment of other non-Indian businesses.

Verbeek predicts tough times for Socceroos

Former Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek has painted a grim picture for the future of the national team and says there should be serious concern about about the quality of the next generation of players.
Verbeek, who led Australia to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, said replacing aging stars like Tim Cahill and Harry Kewell would be successor Holger Osieck's biggest challenge as they build towards the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
But the Dutchman believes the talent pool may not be there and that it could take another generation for Australia to rebuild.
In an interview with Qatari sports website Doha Stadium Plus, Verbeek, now Morocco's under 21s coach, said a dwindling youth talent pool was one of the reasons he did not stay in the job after the World Cup, along with the gruelling travel schedule.
"Working with the Australian national team is a really tough job because you've got to fly all over the world," Verbeek said.
"Your players are in Europe, Asia and Australia. So I seriously got problems with jetlag. Physically, it was a tough job.
"Second, if you see the performance of their youth teams at the moment, it isn't that encouraging.
"In the third round of the 2012 Olympic Games qualification, they (the Olyroos) played six games, but couldn't score a single goal.
"If that's the future of Australian football, then you would be seriously worried about that situation.
"That's the kind of difference between the generations.
"The current crop of youngsters prefers to stay at home and play in the A-League, unlike in the past when the boys used to get to Europe in their teens and develop there."
Asked about suggestions from Osieck that Australia's young talent stocks were getting thin, Verbeek agreed.
"That was one of the things I always said when I was in Australia. But it's a difficult thing to say because the people in Australia are very proud," he said.
"They're proud of the A-League. There's nothing wrong with the league as such.
"… The A-League is OK and players like Alessandro Del Piero want to come there. But if you look at the quality and development of youngsters, that's tough.
"I'm afraid, it'll take at least a generation to change."
Verbeek led the Socceroos from 2007 to 2010 and achieved strong results before Australia failed to progress beyond the group stage in South Africa.© AAP 2014

I respect Pim's opinion. He would know. But I sure hope there is a generation of young hungry players out there who want to prove him wrong. Whether they are in the A-League or struggling to get of the pine somewhere in Europe. Please prove Pim wrong. In summary I shall finish with a poem.
There once was a man called Pim
Who found our nation less pleasant than a cold dim sim.
His but got sore from sitting on a plane
His press conferences were bland and extremely mundane
And he found our talent pool to be far too slim.

Pim is 100 percent spot on, but I fear even worse. You just never see kids out on the streets and in the parks after school kicking balls around anymore. They are all on their computers and consoles nowadays in doors. You don't see kids out of doors in most developed nations nowadays because of the same reasons. To get really good at something you need to spend 10,000 hours on it they say. You cannot do that inside on a computer playing Pro Evo or Fifa.
You can have all the greatest coaches, the best fields, clubs, you name it but without hour upon hour of practice you won't get good. It is as simple as that.

Totally agree with Pim once again. Pim's only crime is being honest and not sugar coating stuff. And is being honest and not being a yes man a crime in 2012, in some circles of aussy soccer it seems so.
And also let's also have another dose in honesty and reality check. Who would you trust . An elite soccer coach who has been in soccer all his life, in a soccer country like Holland where it is no 1 sport. A man who has been part of soccer culture his whole life as an elite player and an elite coach. Guss Hiddink's right hand man at south korea 2002 as his assistant . head coach of south Korea, and also head coach of soccer's on his resume.
Or would you trust some aussy mug who has had no interest in soccer, and has been totally brain washed by some sections of the media , and wouldn't even understand anything about world football. He just thinks he knows everything coz he read it in some tabloid newspaper written by manipulative jounralists if you can call them that trying to whip up hysteria by selling newspapers.
One thing i feel sorry about too is politicians sometimes too. yes many politicians lie as do economic experts, but when ever they make points, that in theory sound tough every bogan jumps on the bagwagon in panic, and really has no idea or understanding about economics. Like in some countires if you see debt over 1 billion dollars you go wow, but in the context you have to weight it up based on how much say as a percentage of GDP for example.
And I feel sorry for Pim how he has to deal with some bogans in OZ, who wouldn't know or understand the 1st thing about world football, or Asutralia's ranking or importance in the football world.
Guys wake up,. IF Australia didn't make another world cup for another 50 years would soccer die as a sport. LOL. Hardly.. World soccer does not need Australia or New Zealand. Never has and never will, wake up.
How many world cups have Aust and NZ won ever in 82 years of the world cup. A big ZERO 0.
In 82 years we have only made 3 world cups, NZ 2. The best effort being a 2nd round of 16. Big deal .
Pim's country Holland has never won world cup, but sure has done a hell of a lot better in world football than Aust/NZ
1 Euro titie 1988. Made world cup gand finals including the last 1 in 2010. Also in 1974, made plenty of semi finals too eg France 98, and many euro semi finals too. Plus some of the world great clubs that have won Euro champions league titles eg Ajax, and PSV Eindhovan.
So I think when you look at the 2 football resumes. 1 being Pim a man who has been part of elite soccer his whole life, and a regular aussy bogan or man in the street out of the 22 million population in OZ, who has never been part of football culture , other than a few cameo world cup matches jumping on the bandwagon, I know who i would trust.
In Guss we trust, in Pim we trust. And Pim knows far more than 99.9% of aussies about football. Even Foz and Les lol.
As the article shows Pim is very clear in his opinion with direct evidence to back up his point. Most aussy blokes in the street who have never had anything do do with soccer, just read the tabloid headline, and jump to Xenophobic conclusions with no basis or understanding and total ignorance on the subject.
And on of the last paragraphs of the article sums up Pim the expert analysis, vs some aussy who is not even a footy fan probably a fan of another of the footy codes who has never followed soccer, hasn't got a clue about the sport.
Pim's last paragrah:
"Second, if you see the performance of their youth teams at the moment, it isn't that encouraging.
"In the third round of the 2012 Olympic Games qualification, they (the Olyroos) played six games, but couldn't score a single goal.
"If that's the future of Australian football, then you would be seriously worried about that situation.
"That's the kind of difference between the generations.
"The current crop of youngsters prefers to stay at home and play in the A-League, unlike in the past when the boys used to get to Europe in their teens and develop there."
Asked about suggestions from Osieck that Australia's young talent stocks were getting thin, Verbeek agreed.
"That was one of the things I always said when I was in Australia. But it's a difficult thing to say because the people in Australia are very proud," he said.
"They're proud of the A-League. There's nothing wrong with the league as such.
"… The A-League is OK and players like Alessandro Del Piero want to come there. But if you look at the quality and development of youngsters, that's tough.
"I'm afraid, it'll take at least a generation to change."
Perfectly said Pim. Demonsrating your experience and superiority levels perfectly, to the regular aussy bogan who has no idea and attacks your expert comments. As Pim is an expert and elite football man, unlike 99.9% of people who criticise him. Well said Pim.

Pim maybe an expert. He maybe from Holland. He may eat stroodle for breakfast lunch and dinner. But I don't care. I want to believe. I want to say yes we can. Because a revolution is happening. The young round ball kickers of this nation will not be underestimated any longer.
Boo Pim. Go Australia. Kick your way to Rio in 14, Moscow in 18 and win that World Cup that should have been ours if not for the dodgey dealings at FIFA. Take Qatar 22. For it was ours in the first place.

Bee Bee, you are a perfect example of the points I said in my post, of why Pim is so right and such an expert, and you have no idea, and the gap in experience levels between you and Pim when it comes to soccer is like David VS Goliath. And you are little David, Bee Bee.
To quote "But this current mob of youngsters will rise to the challenge" . is that just a given because they are from Australia, and some aussy sports fans it seems believe Australia has a divine right and is automotacially good at every sport that gets a little bit of hype and interest. LOL, dear oh dear wake up Bee Bee. We are not that important in the soccer world. We have never done anything in soccer of any significance.
"I want to say yes we can. Because a revolution is happening. The young round ball kickers of this nation will not be underestimated any longer." On what credible basis or evidence, Bee Bee. Our awful Olyroo Olympic campaign. You sound like Bee Bee just another fan who just thinks Australia will automatically waltz though the soccer world and will come good, simply coz we'll come good like it is some sort of she'll be right mate attitude , like we are just the lucky country in every sport we touch. Total nonsense Bee Bee. Showing once again why Pim being a soccer expert and form a soccer country, knows more than about soccer than 99.9% of the 22 million aussy population, including you very obviously Bee Bee.

Dear Johnno,
Totally agree. I know nothing of Football. Pim is Goliath. And I am not even "little" David. I am a comparitive microbe to Pim. I am under no delusions of my weight in this argument. (Microbial.) Pim was and still is a great coach.
Heres my point. Pim's gone Johnno. He's in Morrocco. The going got tough and Pim got going (Too Morrocco). Instead of saying. "Wow, the juniours in this country are stinking right now, (Better fix that somehow.) Pim said, "HMMM, Morrocco looks nice, think I'll move there." Instead of saying "All our juniours are not developing in Europe like they used to, they are playing in that silly little A-League, What will I do?" He said. I know," I'll move to Morrocco and tell everyone that Australia is a lost cause for 25 years and thank God I'm in MORROCCO."
Instead of making the A-League the problem. How about making it the solution. If it continues to grow, then maybe some of these kids developing in the A-League will be good enough to get a starting spot on a European first division team. Instead of going there and twiddling their thumbs on the pine for months on end.
So Johnno. Got any solutions. Because all I got is blind faith and a strange semi-delusional hope that somehow we get through this. And if that makes me a bogan little plucky Aussie. Then so be it.
By the way. Read your ancient History. David beats Goliath in the end.

So in your eyes, lets give up hey, we are an insignificant country playing the world game so lets just give up!
Denmark won, the Euro, Greece won the Euro. Iraq won the Asia Cup, 3 nations who shouldnt of won them but did.. Even the mighty NZ went undefeated in the last World Cup (the only team to do so)
Why cant Australia believe? Why do we sit here having to read your tripe and believe you? What makes your opinion the right one whilst you lambast everyone elses? Are you Pim's media manager?
Pim was a clown who milked the Football community and trodded off, had no interest in growing the game or even attempting to grow, or at the very least offer solutions. He was abrasive and detrimental to the cause. Football in this country is growing, we wont see the fruits of it in our generation (im 32) but give it time, it will grow and the youth system will become stronger!

Pims as sharp as a tack but he is no Guus. Against Germany in the previous WC it was his dire strategies that allowed the Socceroo's to be humiliated. Sabotaging the whole campaign, by default and not playing to the squads strengths resulted in a poor sophomore effort compared to the bull-terrier spirit of the march to the Semi- finals appearance of 06. Time to move on Pim, you were good but not great. The A League is on the ascendency, just how much talent evaporated due to homesickness and untold emotional issues while living abroad? The best situation is that the middle 60% talent or so that ply their trade in Europa return to the A-League, refine their technique and then instead of the occasional tier-1 player we can poach tier-1 management. BTW: Del Piero is a God send. Thanks to Sydney FC for the recruitment of a true legend. His inclusion in the FC squad will lift the whole League, particularly the impressionable youngsters in the League who observe, practice, apply what this great master of the round ball game applies.

What Verbeek's conveniantly removed is the fact that when we qualified for Germany and did so well playing some very decent football that was all done without a national domestic comp, thats right we finished the tournament in Germany running a competent 12 in the world all without a domestic national comp that truly is amazing and would suggest no other nation has done that.
Verbeeks entitled to he's oppinon but have you genuinely heard from a bloke who seems so bitter from the past,Imight point out that while Verbeek and our boys were at the world cup he was bagging the australians in he's own press in Holland ,the guys a creep and overall lacked a sense of professionalism.

Pim should keep quiet and concentrate on Morocco rather than continually bashing us. We are paying for Pims coaching tenure now more than ever, perhaps if he had actually attempted to blood some youngsters rather than purely focusing on qualifying for the World Cup at any costs and doing so in the most dull and uninspiring way we wouldn't be in this perceived situation where we have no young talent coming through.
In my eyes Pim Verbeek was only ever concerned with the short term for Australian football. We have plenty of promising youngsters they just need to be given an opportunity to prove themselves.

Pim has a point … but leaves out another bigger point…
When our kids left to play in Europe there was no where the competition to get in… the EPL when Harry, Timmy etc was not what the EPLis today … kids from all over the world … from Asia, the Middle East & Africa in addition the South Americans players are heading off to Europe early…. its much harder to get in….
However Pim is right that the player development in the A-League is poor …. only the Mariners & Jets [Jets only recently] have training academies … the Roar have also done some good work…
The other not stated fact is Asian & Middle Eastern standards are lifting very quickly …
AS always with Pim he may be correct but offers very little reasoning as to the reason why and the solutions…

I recall a young Mark Viduka playing in an earlier version of the A-league back in 1994 (?).. he then went to Croatia for a year when Man United made an offer for him, which he declined in order to go to Leeds United.
So if local coaches are bold and pick the young guys, there is no reason we cannot uncover new talent which can succeed at higher levels.
Agree with Pims comments about the Olyroos not being able to score a goal in 6 games.. that really is a worry.

George Adamski
|George Adamski
April 17, 1891
|April 23, 1965
(aged 74)
Maryland, USA
|Self-described "wandering teacher"[1]
|Royal Order of Tibet,
International Get Acquainted Program,
George Adamski Foundation
George Adamski (April 17, 1891 – April 23, 1965) was a Polish-born American citizen who became widely known in ufology circles, and to some degree in popular culture, after he claimed to have photographed ships from other planets, met with friendly Nordic alien Space Brothers, and to have taken flights with them. The first of the so-called contactees of the 1950s, he was called a "philosopher, teacher, student and saucer researcher," though his claims were met with skepticism.[2]
Adamski had written a best-selling book titled Flying Saucers Have Landed detailing his experiences, co-written with Desmond Leslie.[3]
Early years[edit]
Adamski was born on April 17, 1891, in Poland.[4] At the age of two, he and his family emigrated to America and settled in New York City.[4] From 1913 to 1916, beginning at the age of 22,[5] he was a soldier in the 13th U.S. Cavalry Regiment K-Troop fighting at the Mexican border during the Pancho Villa Expedition.[4] In 1917, he married.[5] Adamski then moved west, doing maintenance work in Yellowstone National Park and working in an Oregon flour mill.[4] While in Laguna Beach, Adamski founded the "Royal Order of Tibet," which held its meetings in the "Temple of Scientific Philosophy."[5] In 1940, Adamski and some close friends moved to a ranch near California's Palomar Mountain, where they dedicated their time to studying and farming.[5] In 1944, with funding from Alice K. Wells, a student of Adamski, they purchased 20 acres (8.1 ha) of land on Palomar Mountain, where they built a new home called Palomar Garden and a new restaurant called Palomar Gardens Cafe.[2][4][5]
On October 9, 1946, during a meteor shower, Adamski and some friends claimed that while they were at the Palomar Gardens campground, they witnessed a large cigar-shaped "mother ship."[4] In 1947, Adamski took a photograph of what he claimed was the 1946 cigar-shaped "mother ship" crossing in front of the moon over Palomar Gardens.[4]
On May 29, 1950, Adamski took a photograph of what he alleged to be six unidentified objects in the sky, which appeared to be flying in formation.[4] Adamski's May 29, 1950, UFO photograph was depicted in an August 1978 commemorative stamp issued by the island nation of Grenada in order to mark the "Year of UFOs."[4][6]
On November 20, 1952, Adamski and several friends were in the Colorado Desert near the town of Desert Center, California, when they purportedly saw a large submarine-shaped object hovering in the sky. Believing that the ship was looking for him, Adamski is said to have left his friends and to have headed away from the main road. Shortly afterwards, according to Adamski's accounts, a scout ship made of a type of translucent metal landed close to him, and its pilot, a Venusian called Orthon,[7] disembarked and sought him out.[8]
Adamski described Orthon as being a medium-height humanoid with long blond hair and tanned skin wearing reddish-brown shoes, though, as Adamski added, "his trousers were not like mine."[1][4][8][9] Adamski said Orthon communicated with him via telepathy and through hand signals.[1][8][9] During their conversation, Orthon is said to have warned of the dangers of nuclear war and to have arranged for Adamski to be taken on a trip to see the Solar System, including the planet Venus, the location where Mrs. Adamski had been reincarnated.[4][8] Adamski said that Orthon had refused to allow himself to be photographed and instead asked Adamski to provide him with a blank photographic plate, which Adamski says that he gave him.[4] When Orthon left, Adamski said that he and George Hunt Williamson were able to take plaster casts of Orthon's footprints, which contained mysterious symbols.[10]
Orthon is said to have returned the plate to Adamski on December 13, 1952, at which point it was found to contain new strange symbols.[4][11] It was during this meeting that Adamski is said to have taken a now famous UFO photograph using his 6-inch (150 mm) telescope.[11]
In 1954, Desmond Leslie is said to have witnessed several UFOs with Adamski while visiting him in California. He described one of them in a letter he sent to his wife while he was in San Diego:[12]
... a beautiful golden ship in the sunset, but brighter than the sunset ... It slowly faded out, the way they do.
In 1957 Adamski received a letter signed "R.E. Straith," alleged representative of the "Cultural Exchange Committee" of the U.S. State Department. The letter said the U.S. Government knew that Adamski had spoken to extraterrestrials in a California desert in 1952, and that a group of highly placed government officials planned on public corroboration of Adamski's story. Adamski was proud of this endorsement and exhibited it to support his claims. However, in 2002 ufologist James W. Moseley revealed that the letter was a hoax. Moseley said he and his friend Gray Barker had obtained some official State Department letterheads, created the R.E. Straith persona, and then written the letter to Adamski as a prank. According to Moseley, the FBI investigated the case and discovered that the letter was a hoax, but charges were not filed against Moseley or Barker.[13] Moseley also wrote that the FBI informed Adamski that the Straith letter was a hoax and asked him to stop using it as evidence in support of his claims, but that Adamski refused and continued to display the letter in his lectures and talks.[14]
In May 1959, Adamski received a letter from the head of the Dutch Unidentified Flying Objects Society informing him that she had been contacted by officials at the palace of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands and "that the Queen would like to receive you."[2] Adamski informed a London newspaper about the invitation, which prompted the court and cabinet to request that the queen cancel her private audience with Adamski, but the queen went ahead with the audience, saying, "A hostess cannot slam the door in the face of her guests."[2] After the audience, Dutch Aeronautical Association president Cornelis Kolff said, "The Queen showed an extraordinary interest in the whole subject."[2] Wire services such as United Press International and Reuters sent the story out, and newspapers around the world ran it. On May 19, 1959, The Straits Times ran the story.[15] The Sydney Morning Herald ran it on May 20, 1959, along with an image titled "The 'Moon Man.'"[16] On May 21, 1959, the Rockford Register-Republic ran the article,[17] and the Los Angeles Times ran it on May 27, 1959.[18]
Adamski believed that the photographs of the far side of the Moon that were taken by the Soviet lunar probe Luna 3 in 1959 were altered to depict a barren, lifeless surface when in fact there were cities, trees, and snow-capped mountains there instead.[19]
Later life and death[edit]
In 1962, Adamski announced that he would be attending an interplanetary conference held on the planet Saturn.[4] In 1963, Adamski claimed that he had had a secret audience with Pope John XXIII and that he had received a "Golden Medal of Honor" from His Holiness.[20] Adamski, at the request of the extraterrestrials he was allegedly in contact with, met with the Pope in order to request a "final agreement" from him because of his decision not to communicate directly with any extraterrestrials, and also to offer him a liquid substance in order to save him from the gastric enteritis that he suffered from, which would later become acute peritonitis.[21]
On April 23, 1965, at the age of 74, Adamski died of a heart attack in Maryland.[4]
The most common arguments contrary to Adamski's claims forwarded by skeptics in the 1950s is that living on the planet Venus was technologically impossible considering Earth's technological advancement (in the 1950s), owing to its environmental conditions. These conditions include an atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface which is 92 times that of Earth, clouds composed of a substance thought to be sulfuric acid, and an average surface temperature of 464 °C. It follows, then, that no human from Earth could live on the surface of the planet without a highly developed technology, and as a result most considered Adamski's claims to be a technological impossibility for the 1950s. It should be noted however, that the alleged Venusian visitors stated they lived in underground cities, thus not being exposed to hostile conditions on the surface.[citation needed] Also, his claims inspired a British citizen who went under the name Cedric Allingham.
Adamski's 1955 book Inside the Space Ships is considered by some[22] to be a "remake" of a science fiction book, ghostwritten by Lucy McGinnis entitled Pioneers of Space, that Adamski authored in 1949. His often-published photo of a flying saucer from 1952 has been variously identified as a streetlight or the top of a chicken brooder.[23] Adamski also claimed that movie director Cecil B. DeMille's top trick photographer, J. Peverell Marley, had examined his UFO photos and found a "spaceman" in them, and Marley himself declared that if Adamski's pictures were fakes, they were the best he had ever seen. In England, 14 experts from the J. Arthur Rank company concluded that the object photographed was either real or a full-scale model.[24] However, in his 1957 investigation into Adamski's claims, James W. Moseley interviewed Marley, who denied that he had enlarged the photos for analysis, found a "spaceman" in them, or knew of anyone who had. Moseley also interviewed German rocket scientist Walther Johannes Riedel (1903–1974), who told him that he had analyzed Adamski's UFO photos and found them to be fakes.[25] Riedel told Moseley that the UFO's "landing struts" were actually 100-watt General Electric light bulbs, and that he had seen the "GE" logo printed on them.[25]
Adamski's co-author, the Irish aristocrat Desmond Leslie, created a low-budget UFO film entitled Them And The Thing at Castle Leslie in the mid-1950s in which the flying saucer was created by shining mirrors on to a Spanish Renaissance shield suspended from a fishing line. The film was rediscovered in 2010.[26]

Printable version of Public Summary Document for Testosterone undecanoate, injection, 1 g in 4 mL, Reandron®, November 2005 (PDF 37 KB)
Public Summary DocumentProduct: Testosterone undecanoate, injection, 1 g in 4 mL, Reandron®
Sponsor: Schering Pty Ltd
Date of PBAC Consideration: November 2005
1. Purpose of ApplicationTo request an authority required listing for use as testosterone replacement in primary and secondary male hypogonadism.
2. BackgroundThis formulation has not previously been considered by the PBAC.
3. Registration StatusTestosterone undecanoate injection was registered by the TGA on 26 October 2005 for testosterone replacement in primary and secondary male hypogonadism.
4. Listing Requested and PBAC's ViewAuthority required
Androgen deficiency in males with established pituitary or testicular disorders;
Androgen deficiency in males 40 years and older who do not have established pituitary or testicular disorders other than aging, confirmed by at least 2 morning blood samples taken on different mornings. Androgen deficiency is confirmed by testosterone less than 8 nmol per L, or 8-15 nmol per L with high LH (greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of the eugonadal reference range for young men);
Micropenis, pubertal induction, or constitutional delay of growth or puberty, in males under 18 years of age.
The PBAC accepted the proposed restriction wording. However, the PBAC after noting that the injections would be administered every 10 to 14 weeks, considered that 1 repeat would be more appropriate than the 3 repeats as suggested by the sponsor.
back to top
5. Clinical Place for the Proposed TherapyAn alternative product for use as testosterone replacement therapy in primary and secondary male hypogonadism.
6. ComparatorThe PBAC accepted the submission's nomination of testosterone implant as the appropriated comparator.
7. Clinical TrialsThe basis of the submission, as detailed below, was two non-randomised open-label studies:
· testosterone intramuscular (i.m.) injection 1 g (n=7) over ~33 months
· testosterone implant 1.200 g (n=14; double PBS dose of 600 mg) over 6 months.
Publication details of two non-randomised studies:
|Trial/First author
|Protocol title
|Publication citation
|Von Eckardstein et al
|Treatment of male hypo-gonadism with testosterone undecanoate injected at extended intervals of 12 weeks: a phase II study.
|Journal of Andrology 23(3):419-25.
|Jockenovel F et al
|Pharmacokinetics and pharma-codynamics of subcutaneous testosterone implants in hypogonadal men. .
|Clinical Endocrinology 45:61-71.
8. Results of TrialsIn respect to the i.m. injection study, the results showed that as the injection interval was lengthened, testosterone levels decreased, but remained within the reference range (10.4 to 34.7 nmol/L). A 12-weekly dosing interval maintained serum testosterone levels within the required range.
The majority of the adverse events reported with the injection were assessed as not associated with the study drug. Overall, the injection was well tolerated over the trial period of approximately 33 months.
The only side effect observed with the implant was local infection (5.4%), leading to extrusion of 5 pellets in 3 patients (4.5%).
back to top
9. Clinical ClaimThe PBAC accepted the submission's claim that testosterone i.m. injection was no worse than the testosterone implant (600 mg) in terms of effectiveness, but the "implant was associated with extrusions and infections".
10. Economic AnalysisA preliminary (that is, trial-based) economic evaluation was presented. The PBAC considered the choice of the cost-minimisation approach was valid. The resources included were drug costs, costs of administration and cost of managing side effects.
The submission claimed that the net cost for the injection was lower than that for the implant.
The PBAC considered it appropriate that a modelled economic evaluation was not presented as the submission was based on a cost-minimisation approach.
The equi-effective doses in the context of cost-minimisation were testosterone i.m. injection 1g every 10-14 weeks and testosterone implant (600 mg) every 4-5 months. This relativity was based on results from the two studies that showed that these doses produced serum testosterone concentrations within the reference range (10.4 - 34.7 nmol/L).
11. Estimated PBS Usage and Financial ImplicationsThe submission estimated that the likely number of packs dispensed per year would be less than 5,000 in Year 2 of listing.
The submission estimated that the financial cost per year to the PBS would be well under
$1 million in Year 2 of listing. The submission stated that the overall market was expected to grow more rapidly as a result of listing the injection.

12. Recommendation and ReasonsThe PBAC recommended listing on a cost-minimisation basis as compared to testosterone implant with a dose relativity of testosterone intramuscular injection 1000 mg every 10 - 14 weeks and testosterone implant (600 mg) every 4 months. The PBAC noted that the cost minimisation basis of its recommendation is reliant on an average three monthly rate of administration of the injection and requested that the Drug Utilisation Sub-Committee (DUSC) monitor the use of the injection following PBS listing. In the event that PBS usage becomes more frequent, the PBAC may wish to revisit the dose relativities. The PBAC also considered that the dosage requirements of the injection would align with a maximum quantity of one injection with one repeat allowing for 6 months treatment in total which is considered appropriate.
|Authority required
Androgen deficiency in males with established pituitary or testicular disorders;
Androgen deficiency in males 40 years and older who do not have established pituitary or testicular disorders other than aging, confirmed by at least 2 morning blood samples taken on different mornings. Androgen deficiency is confirmed by testosterone less than 8 nmol per L, or 8-15 nmol per L with high LH (greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of the eugonadal reference range for young men);
Micropenis, pubertal induction, or constitutional delay of growth or puberty, in males under 18 years of age.
|Maximum quantity

13. Context for DecisionThe PBAC helps decide whether and, if so, how medicines should be subsidised in Australia. It considers submissions in this context. A PBAC decision not to recommend listing or not to recommend changing a listing does not represent a final PBAC view about the merits of the medicine. A company can resubmit to the PBAC or seek independent review of the PBAC decision.

Gelson's and Bristol Farm's used to carry it, it is good. Call them.
re: Scotty
I understand from the New Yorkers that I know that the sauce is for bread dipping or using with the potatoes. Personally I pour it right on my steak and I think it is great. You might note that there is a common thread between the really well known staek sauces one of which is now gone I understand. Pacific Dining Car, Peter Luger's Monty's Steak House, and the legendary steakhouse at Knotts were all steak relishes. I believe the one at the now long defunct Fog Cutter in Hollywood was also similar. I think one person started this sauce and then everyone added their own touch to it. By the way, Peter Luger's on a hamburger or lamb chops shows equally well.
it is the best steak sauce ever created!!!!
re: woofer
Pacific Dining Car used to sell you some to go. See if they still do and then try it side by side with the Peter Luger's. By the way, a wine group I belong to flew in steaks from Peter Luger's. The heck with their steak sauce and price be damned those are outstanding steaks. We had the new york strip.
re: Hughlipton
hmmm never had it before, might have to try it. usually with prime steaks i dont use sauce. and most steak sauces i have tried are either lacking in one or more ingredients or are overdone in one flavor. that being said i recently ate at 555east steakhouse in long beach and was surprised at how good their house made steaksauce is. brought a bottle home.

Thread: A new Lighting addition...
A new Lighting addition...
A friend of mine on an Emergency Lighting Forum (http://www.eLightbars.org) asked me to test/torture a utility light that he came up with. And me being the light junkie that I am, i jumped at the chance... We are calling it The Mule as of right now. And let me tell you, this thing throws crazy amounts light.
It's made up of 2 Tomar High Intensity LED Take-Down/Alley Lights, and a Strobes'N'More License Plate Bracket.
Here's a copy of my review from the other forum:
Initial reaction:
Packaging - 10 out of 10
I wasn't really sure what to expect when I received this box, but it was suprisingly heavy for what I knew was going to be inside. Upon opening the box, I found the item to be pack VERY well, and marked "Fragile - Handle With Care" all over it. And it survived the typical USPS handling. There were some dings and compression marks on the box when it arrived, but no damage to the unit itself.
Consrtruction - 10 out or 10
When I opened the box, I was shocked to say the least. Shocked in a good way. This thing looked absolutely AWESOME!!! It is a very solid unit. No wiggles or lose anything anywhere on it. The mount plate had to be modified to accept this lighthead, but you can't even tell, the lighthead and mount plate match up perfectly. Wiring was as professional as you can get. Heat shrunk from lighthead to lighthead, and down the lead wires, leaving about 6 inches of bare wire for connection.
Functionality 9.5 out of 10
As for the lightheads themselves, well, they are very sweet looking. Nice DEEP reclectors, very bright LEDS. This thing is INSANELY bright!!! I can usually look directly into most LED products, but not this one. It's bright to look at it from the side, never mind head-on.
I did a simple "Extended Usage" test on these lights, and it did amazing. I had the lighthead activated for over an hour (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes). The only fault I found is that the back of the lighthead itself gets extremely hot. So hot in fact, that you can not even tough it. And that heat conducts itself through the mount plate onto the bracket. The mount plate gets very warm, but nothing that can really burn you. And the bracket only gets warm at the point where it makes contact with the mount plate. It's that heat that makes me deduct 1/2 a point on the overal functuon of this product. I do take into consideration that this lighthead is a High Intensity LED lighthead and it's designed as an alley/take-down light. It was NEVER intended to be on for over and hour continuously. But after only 10 minutes the back of the lighthead and the mount plate were merely warm to the touch, and stone cold after 20 minutes.
And here's a Vid of the finished product:
Hope you enjoy!!! And if you want more info, feel free to contact Dave from MichanaELS: firstname.lastname@example.com

MANKATO — One of the Mankato area's most visible nonprofits is hoping a little change can spice up their annual major fundraiser.
One Bright Star, the group that offers support to families who have lost a child, has discontinued its annual gala event and is embarking on what it is betting will be an exciting new fundraiser: a casino night with poker, blackjack and other games. Not for money. Just for fun.
"We wanted to add a fun theme, more of a positive experience," said Cassi Wanous, One Bright Star's new executive director. "We don't want it to be a sad time. We wanted to do something a little different."
Because of the theme change, and because they got started a little later than usual, Wanous said they haven't had the same response they've had in years past. They're hoping that, with a little publicity, things will change.
"Change" has actually been a common theme for One Bright Star. Sue Ostendorf left as executive director, which left a vacancy. Wanous came along at the right time and was able to step in to fill that role.
Not that she wanted to be able to.
Two years ago she gave birth to twins, Landon and Kolton. Both had contracted an infection called necrotizing intercolitis. But Landon had it first, and by the time doctors discovered it, it was too late. Eventually he died. Kolton suffered, too. But doctors were able to save him.
In the aftermath, a funeral director gave the Wanous family a grieving journal provided by One Bright Star. Until that point, Wanous said, all she really knew about the organization was that they had a memorial in Ray Erlandson Park.
Eventually she was invited to the annual celebration, and they purchased a plaque and paver to add to the many already at the memorial. And when a spot opened up on the One Bright Star board of directors, she joined.
"I stay home with my son, so it was something for me to put my time in for something for Landon as well," she said.
Eventually, she became the executive director. It was an easy decision to take a leadership role with an organization that has meant so much to her family.
"One Bright Star was really helpful in seeing that we weren't alone, that there were other people going through this," Wanous said. "It's not a club you want to be a part of, but to see there were others was helpful."
While the leadership has changed, the mission has not. The group still strives to make life a little easier for families that have lost a child.
The casino night is set for March 2, but pre-registration ends today. So call them. Today.
