Since 1940, the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) has exclusively represented the worldwide oil and gas drilling industry.
IADC conferences are industry-driven events focusing on the critical issues facing the global drilling industry. Whether it's enabling and cutting-edge drilling technology, well control; health, safety, environment; training, or industry economics and financial outlook,
IADC is always prepared to develop new events to meet the industry's evolving needs. At the same time, longstanding IADC conferences continue to unite operators, regulators, drilling contractors and service firms.
IADC conferences benefit from IADC's reputation among government regulators and the industry at large. As the only industry association representing the global drilling industry, IADC has strong intellectual equity in the industry. IADC works closely with governments and our members to develop regulations, standards, guidelines and policies producing greater efficiency, safety and environmental protection in drilling activities. The result: strong participation among regulators and oil companies alike.
In addition, IADC convenes exhibitions in conjunction with the technical conferences to enhance the overall conference attendee's experience. These exhibitions are sizable, but focused, giving our members an excellent opportunity to showcase their products and services.
To help IADC cover the expenses of these events, we invite companies with an important recognition and representation worldwide, to be the conference sponsors for a conference. There are four levels of sponsoring: Platinum Sponsors, Gold Sponsors, Silver Sponsors and Event Sponsors. High profile recognition before and during the events, signage, oral recognition from the conference moderators and logos placed on the promotional materials and web site are just a few of the many benefits of sponsoring an IADC event.
For further information regarding IADC events, please contact Leesa Teel, email@example.com, or Stephanie Carling, email@example.com, at +1 713 292 1945.

Being at home in Marley Park extends beyond your front door.
Take an evening stroll with your spouse, an afternoon jog with your neighbor, or weekend bike ride with your family – Marley Park features 15 uniquely themed parks all linked by an Arbor Walk.
Explore the open play community spaces at Founders Park, the covered picnic area at Bumblebee Park, the performance gazebo at Marley Park, the colored glass decorating Mosaic Park, the beautiful flowers at Rose Garden Park, and the sunken ship playground at Wisdom Park. Each has its own character and charm. Make your way from park to park along the Arbor Walk – a lush pathway of varying types of shade trees, including the signature Arbor Walk tree, the Chinese Elm – connecting Marley Park's neighborhoods.
At the heart of Marley Park is Heritage Park – a special open space managed by the City of Surprise for use by all Surprise residents. Located between the Heritage Club and the Marley Park Elementary School, the 25-acre park features adventure play areas, lighted baseball fields, an open field, an open-air amphitheater designed to accommodate 1,600 guests, and a rose garden honoring the roots of Marley Park. The land for this park in Surprise was donated by the Kemper and Ethel Marley Foundation.
Much of the inspiration for the parks came from the Kemper Marley family that farmed the land for generations growing cotton and a commercial rose garden. Their passion and commitment to this land is expressed throughout Marley Park in its designs and activities.

Where Are They Now? Arie Luyendyk
Posted on: May 20, 2013 | Comments (1) | Where Are They Now? |
He holds the top three speed records at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and has two victories.
One qualifying lap – 237.498, 1996
Four-lap qualifying average – 236.986, 1996
500 miles – 185.981, 1990
And Arie Luyendyk figures his 500-mile mark will stay for a while – it's already stayed 22 years.
"That (500-mile) record will stay there for a long time," said Luyendyk, 59, now living in Fountain Hills, Ariz. "Back then we didn't have a pit speed limit. Now it takes time."
But for qualifying?
"They could change the cars to make that happen," he said. "The fans want to see it (broken). Those records are there, but I would like to see someone break them."
He wasn't always an ovalmeister, starting with when the Dutchman came up with the former Provimi Veal team.
"We had a small team, and there wasn't one guy who had worked with a car on an oval," Luyendyk said. "When I started in '85, we had a little help from Lola, but no one had worked on a car for an oval. The big change came when I got with a team that could prepare a car for an oval. That started in '87 with Dick Simon when I got with Larry Curry. You change your attitude and confidence. I had good races with Simon."
But the 1990 victory at Indianapolis was his first in Indy cars – and Luyendyk could feel it coming.
"I really did feel good about it," he said. "The whole month went well, qualified third and after some really good days, I thought we could be right there. The communication was good between me and Doug Shierson (the car owner). It was good and professional. We didn't change that much during the race. Teams like Penske and Newman-Haas knew we were fast.
"I didn't feel that confident in 1997 (with Treadway Racing). I had the pole, but I was always on the edge. Going into that race with that feeling isn't good. We worked on the car during the whole race."
Everything didn't always work fine. In a race at Texas Motor Speedway in '97, scoring had Billy Boat winning in A.J. Foyt's car, but Luyendyk thought he had won and also went to Victory Lane. An argument ensued, and Foyt pushed/hit Luyendyk into a flower bed. Video of the incident played on sports shows all week.
Eventually, a scoring audit showed Luyendyk to be the winner. After the first day the next weekend at Pikes Peak, Luyendyk came back to the hotel and said: "A.J. and I were talking out on the pit road, and you should have seen it. There must have been 50 photographers there."
And at Christmas, Texas Motor Speedway promoter Eddie Gossage outfitted his whole staff in officials' uniforms and the track's Christmas card showed them all in Victory Lane, Gossage in front with a whistle.
It was rumored at the time and has been confirmed by some that Foyt still has the trophy for that race … he didn't give it back.
Luyendyk is still in the sport, sharing some INDYCAR race control, rookie coaching and two-seater driving duties. He also said he is "playing around with some real estate."
"In race control, it really opens my eyes on what goes on there," he said. "Dispatching safety vehicles and calling cautions. If you're an active driver, you don't see it."
In 1990, a friend of Luyendyk walked on to the pit road on Opening Day at the Speedway and went through Victory Lane, which was, at the time, at pit center. He looked down and saw a coin. It was a Dutch dime. He put it in his pocket and forgot about it.
After Luyendyk won, the friend glued the dime to a block of wood and gave it to Luyendyk the day after the race, telling him the story.
"Oh, that's spooky," Luyendyk said at the time.
Earlier this month, the Dutchman was asked about it. Even after 23 years, Arie said, "I still have it."

Pat Bonacci, AFSC Receives Lasallian Volunteer Award
On April 27th at the 13th Annual Crystal Ball, The Bootleggers Ball, Principal Pat Bonacci, AFSC was honored with the Lasallian Volunteer Award for his years of service to La Salle High School, the last 16 as Principal. Below are the words Dr. Richard Gray, President, shared with those at the Crystal Ball, about Pat Bonacci.
"A 1971 graduate of Saint Mary's College of California, Pat Bonacci, AFSC leapt right into the world of Catholic education by taking a teaching job at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in Pasadena. He remained in that capacity until 1977 when the Pastor asked him to serve as the first lay principal of the school. Pat served ably in that capacity until 1985 when Divine Providence led him to La Salle High School.
Serving under three principals, Brother Christopher Bassen, FSC, Brother Robert Mizia, FSC, and Brother Philip Clarke, FSC, Pat occupied virtually every administrative position in the School: Dean of Students, Director of Admissions, Dean of Studies, and Assistant Principal. Typical of Pat and his love of the students entrusted to his care, he has always taught at least one class throughout the twenty years he has served La Salle.
In 1995 then Brother Philip Clarke asked Pat to serve as principal during a time of unusual transition at La Salle which included the implementation of the President/Principal model and, in 1994, the initiation of a construction project that essentially transformed the campus. Since then Pat has overseen the most dramatic expansion the School has ever known. Enrollment has almost doubled during the last ten years of Pat's stewardship, and while he would be quick to say that others had a greater role to play in the School's current success, we know, in a way that he won't admit, that it is the force of his wonderful, caring personality that explains why the culture of La Salle is so successful. Throughout the changes at La Salle Pat continued to exemplify the Lasallian values of faith and zeal.
And Pat has never weakened his commitment to making La Salle a better place for the students entrusted to his care. As principal of La Salle, Pat implemented the School's Service Learning Program, expanded the immersion program, and established Founder's Week of Service, in which he, personally, has participated alongside teachers and students. The hugely popular Block system essentially reorganized the way instruction in the classroom was managed and, even as he prepares to transition to his new role as Vice President for Mission, Pat has supervised a two year implementation of a curriculum mapping process. His commitment to children is exemplified by the fact that, in addition to teaching, Pat also serves as an Academic Advisor.
With only one extraordinarily dedicated Christian Brother on staff, the School has come to rely on Pat to hold up for us the Lasallian values of the Christian Brothers. Anyone who has engaged in a conversation with Pat about the schools sponsored by the Brothers will have noted his frequent reference to "our" school in Sacramento and to "our" school in Berkeley – as if he were a Brother – when in reality he so thoroughly identifies with the Mission of the Christian Brothers to give a human and Christian education to the young, especially the poor, that it would never not occur to him to identify with the Lasallian schools up and down the West Coast. Pat truly demonstrates how a lay person can work "together and by association" with his vowed colleagues in the Christian Brothers.
His service to the Church and the Community does not stop at the School's doors. Pat has been actively involved in the larger church through the Archdiocesan Principals Association including tenure as a member (and Chair) of the Archdiocesan Principals Advisory Board and leadership of the Catholic Athletic Association. Furthermore, he has been active at his parish, Saint Luke as a Lector and long time volunteer at the annual parish fiesta. His civic engagement is best exemplified by his attendance at countless Eagle Scout Honor Courts and a willingness to sit through long (often boring) City Council hearings on behalf of La Salle.
Allow me to share one comment from a colleague that could be just as easily applied to Pat's relationship with students and parents: If Mr. Bonacci's first name weren't Patrick, it could just as easily be Patience. Throughout the years I've worked with him, he's been a remarkable example of that virtue. His door is always open and an invitation to enter means an invitation to be listened to sincerely and with understanding.

JAK here...though he's always yummy, bright colors do look good on him...a fun outfit!
OT...while wandering this a.m.I clicked on Popular Posts...(Sauli Koskinen returns to L.A.) A walk down Memory Lane. Thread is from March 2011......as scattered as most of our current ones, but for those who were around then, you notice how many regulars we no longer hear from...or at least rarely hear from. If they still follow I wish they'd let us know.
Somehow it seems we were a little nicer to each other a year ago!
I also noticed I talked a lot more! - June 13, 2012 at 10:25 AM
@ P.A.S.........JAK here
Are you feeling well enough to send us a HI! Hope so!<3 - June 13, 2012 at 10:31 AM
im adam lambert fan for life since AI
- June 13, 2012 at 10:58 AM
JAK, Interesting to go back in time a little, isn't it? I think we do have a nice core group here who are supportive of Adam the vast majority of the time. A few "interlopers" sometimes mix things up, but I guess that's what makes life interesting. It would be fun to hear from some of those long-lost posters. You'e always such a fun and thoughtful contributor to this site. It's people like you who keep things sane!

@JAK "If they still follow I wish they'd let us know. Somehow it seems we were a little nicer to each other a year ago!"
PRS here. (Not sure if I'd be remembered.) I do jump in every once in a while. I did get tired of the negativity and nastiness that seemed to be happening with greater frequency. I still am an avid Adam fan. In fact I'm going to 2 California concerts in July.
Will try to be a better participant in the future. - June 13, 2012 at 11:06 AM
Just realized I haven't been to Adam's public facebook for about two years now. I mean i've completely forgotten it exists. I used to go there to look at the pics people posted there, but then the Gaga Glamberts, who think everyone must like Gaga, took over the place. I remember the picture of Gaga showing the middle finger, that was supposed to be a message to some Adam's fans, and I left for good. I think Adam said once he has no control over his public fb.

I also look at old posts once in a while and I must say the Sauli ones are the most amusing especially when you read all the haters who were predicting the early demise of their relationship and how it couldn't possibly last and how Adam needs to concentrate on making his album and how he has no time for a love life blah blah blah...well 1.5 years later they are still going strong and Adam is looking better than he ever has so take that haters!!
I use to post here anonymously for quite a some time before I opened gmail so decided to open an account. But you are right there are quite a no. Of pple who were regular posters that have gone awol not just on this site but others like IDF. - June 13, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Adam and that Paul didn't seem very comfortable with each other there on the coach. Funny video however! LOL!
- June 13, 2012 at 12:00 PM
I hated when some Glamberts wanted Adam to only work on his album and no play. It's like they think Adam is their slave. I hope he gets money from the Queen concerts, so he can have some vacay, he deserves that.

I used to really enjoy hearing from the cat, what was it's name icon I think ...those posts were so funny often made my day...Renee

Found some pics of Adam from the G-A-Y concert. That pour guy with the "kiss here and now" sign. I don't think he got one, even though he was pretty cute.....http://www.chrisjepson.com/2012/06/adam-lambert-live-in-london/

I think the small individual gigs in the US benefit more his band than his own career at the moment. They are not being advertised and only Glamberts know about them.
- June 13, 2012 at 12:35 PM
*only Glamberts know about the gigs, because it's not an official tour

Great news! Adam's new album, Trespassing, will be featured as Amazon's album of the week from 6/12-6/18 for only $5.00. Don't miss out on this great deal! MP3 download. http://myplay.me/rpe - June 13, 2012 at 1:57 PM
I used to post much more in the earlier days of this site. I also had to take some breaks when the obvious nastiness was becoming too much and the Tommy unrealities and Sauli bashing became ridiculous. There is a distinct difference between differing opinions of likes and dislikes of music,fashion and other non-earthshaking events, which I welcome and gives me a different point of view, but there have been disrepectful, hurtful comments and obvious button pushing ones that at times created ill will and a war zone that took away the ambience and caring that represents the majority here. I like seeing the familiar tags and seeing new ones. I also felt enriched by the many worldwide fans and male perspectives. It's a place where we can be silly over Adam and share our excitement and act like flailing idiots when in real life we might get a lot of eyerolls from those that don't get our fascination and admiration of Adam. We've lost some very caring, entertaining people that are missed. I hope they will return or check back from time to time. I try to read all of the comments and often will read them and respond when time has passed. I like the fun loving banter, great links and thoughtful discussions. Most of all I like the many people I've come to care for on this site.

@funbunn40......JAK here....
I've been on a hunt and so far found one of our 2011 flights of fancy. You, Sister and I wrote a James Bond type story about Adam, Sasha and harem girls.....Bolero was the soundtrack....remember?
If you would like to read our silly story use this link, worked for me, hope it'll work for you and any others who might like to check it out.
Let me know if it works.....^o^ - June 13, 2012 at 2:26 PM
Lucky UK fans they will get free of the first single BTKM:)))
Canadian - June 13, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Please vote here for the greatest fans.
Adam is losing to Demi Lovato?!?!?
Thanks! - June 13, 2012 at 2:33 PM
Brilliant idea from Adam to gift the first single from Trespassing album. It would be interesting to know how many download it and do they like it. I like Better Than I Know Myself, I hear it on the radio where I live, and I hope Adam will sing it live someday (not acoustic).
- June 13, 2012 at 2:34 PM
I would assume that many fans who used to be on fansites but who are no longer, have moved to other media, such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. This topic came up a while back on AO. Many of those who no longer post on Adam Official regularly are very active fans in other ways. They just don't post as much on the fan sites. Technology as shifted in the few short years since AI. Fandoms take on new forms. All I know is that if you do not follow a celebrity closely on some form of electronic or digital media, you will NOT hear much about them except the bare minimum, even Bieber and Gaga. TV isn't the place for lots of celebrity news anymore, unless it's some scandal news. Real fandoms exist on fansites, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
My neightbor is one of those who LOVED Adam on AI, but didn't follow him afterward. When I talk to her occasionally about Adam, she pretty much thinks he's fallen off the face of the earth and is surprised at how successful and busy he is. Traditional TV doesn't give specific info on many performers at all, even the biggest ones. If you aren't an avid follower of Gaga, you wouldn't know when her tours are or what she's doing from day to day. Same with someone like Adele. And these are the biggest names out there. Adam has lots of devoted, active fans who cross over from one media to another. Look at the great responses to polls that Adam is in. He does quite well, actually. People leave for different reasons, but often they are still good fans.
DRG - June 13, 2012 at 3:00 PM
Hi Everone, I am still here. Havent posted much lately but still come everyday in case I miss something.
Yes a lot of the old regulars are missing. I sometimes wonder if they are posting as Anonymous, to avoid negative and catty remarks?
Some of those stories and poems from way back were excellent nad entertaining during quiet times, great to focus on something positive. - June 13, 2012 at 3:00 PM

So cool to see "Adam Lambert: Trespassing" on the Billboard list on last page of latest Rolling Stone. RS only comes out every other week so the week it was number one, there was no issue so we missed that pleasure. It is now number 12.
Just my opinion but I have to remind myself that the music industry is SO HUGE right now. Many stars are doing well but very few are "super screamers" like Bieber, Gaga and Adele. I think our Adamazing has a solid fan base, talent that is still unfolding, as much exposure as can be mustered. He seems a lot happier and more satisfied that we do!!
I don't think anyone means to drop off the blogger list. I, for one, get ridiculously busy and seem to lose touch with a lot of things that give me pleasure. " ...Well, I'm not broken but I need a (Adam) Fix'!!!! - June 13, 2012 at 4:17 PM
Planet Fierce checking in. I am lurking most of the time. I don't post much because I won't get into the gutter with the haters and I get my opinions validated with the die hard fans (regulars) who are on all the time. I post if I have something interesting to add. But I love reading what everyone else has to say, and I appreciate SO much all the time and effort that goes into maintaining my favorites sites (of which this is one).
- June 13, 2012 at 5:00 PM
JAK, see what you started? I'm an Adam fan from day one as well as a fan of this site and others. I do read this site daily and, too, miss some of the original posters but love the talent and insight of some of you who write almost daily.
Looking forward to those Queen videos which will have to suffice (I know they will) until I can see Adam "live" again.
AG - June 13, 2012 at 5:36 PM
JAK, I also have been an Adam fan since he first appeared on Idol and found this website early on, I check in every day to keep up on everything happening in his career and read the comments also. My other source for info, videos and print/web links is Twitter. What I might find first there, soon shows up on 24/7. Thanks to everyone who maintains this website and supports Adam Lambert! He is a true treasure!

HAL - June 13, 2012 at 8:05 PM
I'm hearing you... there are so many of the 'old faces' that have been missing for months. This site just hasn't been the same warm site it used to be. It used to be the first place I checked in the mornings, now it isn't. I go on another site everyday, which is so friendly and warm, and a place where people can say if they don't like something without it turning into a hate thread....AND NO TROLLS. Some of you would love it there, but I don't feel comfortable putting the name on here. However I am on the fan site (as HK fan)if anyone would like the link to join us.
I still come here at least every other day to catch up on threads but don't always post.
I would really love this site to go back to the place it was a year ago.
And if there are of the old regulars out there lurking, come out and play sometimes. And for all the anons posting, be brave and give yourself a tag, It really does help to feel part of things, and included in conversations, and makes every thing run smoother on here. - June 13, 2012 at 8:25 PM
Would just like to add that
ADAMS NCOE VIDEO WAS PLAYED ON MTVASIA mtv hits this morning, right between Goyte and JB's Boyfriend....he looked great up there on my TV. - June 13, 2012 at 8:27 PM
@JAK- I also check in everyday sometimes use my tag, sometimes not. I come here first, then twitter, than google- twitter gives alot of URLs for info that's not posted here. Yes, us that really get adam will always be a fan. I personally have never been offended by stuff here,I just skip over it and say to myself- troll- next! For the most part we are die-hard fans and I do miss a few- kentucky fan, fan-4fun,oh my minds not working, but so many more, but on the bright side we've gained new ones. I wonder if some had to slow down because of thier other halfs not getting it (like mine) just a thought?
If you read any horrible comments on other websites by brownie2- it's not me. - June 13, 2012 at 8:43 PM
Some of my best times here have been because of U. The stories, the poems, particularly the semi-naughty ones U wrote. I saved them! Does this sound familiar?
It was a really hot day in NYC. July 16 2011. Adam was walking dwn the street, cell phone to his ear, sunglasses, arm raised to wipe off sweaty forehead and tee shirt rode up a couple inches and pants were riding low and there it was! His tummy! What a fantastic picture, I think I dreamed aboutit.
U wrote
Now you've done it Adam
Showed an inch of tummy
You know how you affect us
We all think you're yummy.
Women all up and down this thread
Are going into spasms,
If there had been another inch
I loved that one. I used to post frequently as Nancy, then I faded away during a divorce, but I have been back awhile as NS.
More Poems! - June 13, 2012 at 8:54 PM
Welcome back!
DRG - June 13, 2012 at 8:57 PM
Hah...loved that poem about Adam's tummy! I stared at that pic, well, that tummy, for forever lol!
I luv this blog 'cause I feel at home among the "glamily"! Most of my friends think I'm nuts and talk about Adam, well, 24/7! But here, it's ok to be a "crazed Glambert"! We all "get it", in our love for this special, amazing, sexay man, with the best voice on the planet!
LOL, I think I'm always the last to post comments 'cause I work all day, and don't get to this til late at nite! I love all your comments (minus trolls), and hope this continues 'cause it's only the beginning!!
AdamLuvr in Texas :) - June 13, 2012 at 10:39 PM
- daydreamin said...
Aww, so many of the ol' Glamily coming back for a visit! It's good hearing from everyone! NG, I'm so sorry about your divorce (hope it wasn't Adam related!) but glad you shared. Brownie, I have to come on here late usually because I work during the day, come home and rest a little before starting dinner, then spending time with family then it's Adam time usually till quite late. But I'm off for the summer, so am here during the day more now. Too much complaining unless I wait till later the rest of the year!
Thanks JAK for bringing back the others! - June 14, 2012 at 12:00 AM
coloforadam @4:17, I'm a casual fan of Adam's, and I agree, there is only the handful of artists that seemed to be played endlessly n the radio. Who knows, Adam may never get to GaGa like status. But I say, who cares? He has such a remarkable talent that jI think he will always fans that will pay to see him. And another plus is smaller venues. They are more intimate, and he seems to be able to talk to and interact with the audience. And that seems to be a must for Glamberts!
- June 14, 2012 at 3:36 AM
WOW! WOW! WOW!.....JAK here
What a great response, so nice to hear from y'all again! Reading this thread this morning was like a mini reunion. Glad to know you're checking in, do speak up on occasion. Nancy (NS) loved re-living that hot day in NYC photo of Adam, it's burned into my brain!
You kept my poems? How neat.....I bet they sound pretty silly, but then that's my usual intent....a laugh or giggle. Do you have my "RAPS"? That career sort of fizzled, I think I only wrote a couple.
Anyway, hello to everyone, none of you were forgotten, just missed.
@ Renee.....Yes,
Icon is Fan4fun's Portuguese-English speaking cat who lives with his "MOM" in the Azores. We don't hear much of his adventures lately cause Fan4fun has been in and out of hospital having several serious surgeries and can only rarely pop in with a word or two. Icon is almost speechless without her assistance.
But soon, I hope she'll be back and we will hear from both of them.
I wish you all a Happy Flag Day (bet you forgot that!) It's a momentuous (sp?) day for me.....restoration begins on all the damage done when all my plumbing had to be replaced recently....well, not my personal plumbing...my house's! Today is Wallpaper Man Day, I don't suppose he'd appreciate me greeting him with a big hug! I'll control myself! :))))) - June 14, 2012 at 5:02 AM
I log into 24/7 several times a day/night but I don't always post/don't post a lot. I love and need to keep up-to-date with everything Adam and this is the 1st site I visit every day. :)
- June 14, 2012 at 5:14 AM
MGF here... lurks and checks in when she can :)
Hi AG/neighbor - June 14, 2012 at 5:53 AM
Sorry to hear Fan4fun isn't well..:I check in everyday but things have been a little crazy here in good old Joplin this year ....I must have missed that info...I hope she is better very soon...I used to read my dog Grizzly posts from icon...lol every time I said the word cat he would whine...Renee - June 14, 2012 at 8:15 AM
@ Renee
You have a dog named Grizzly who whines at the mention of the word "cat"? Hmmmmmm, I'm assuming this is a male dog.......^o^......
(soft whisper) "has he had a proceedure?" :))))))))) - June 14, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Hi MGF, nice to "hear" from you.
And JAK, I didn't forget. I'm wearing my flag pin today and reminded the people here at work of this day. (Oh, this younger generation.)
Happy Flag Day everyone!
AG - June 14, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Grizzly is a Jack Russrl he is very very smart....we live in the country and there seems to be a lot of stray cats....Grizzly is not allowed to chase cats or bark at them...when he does he gets scolded by his dad a fate worse than death...so when u say cathe just whines....I guess I'm kinda mean cuz I'd ask him Grizz do u want to hear a story written by a talking cat....mostly he didn't ...Renee
- June 14, 2012 at 12:35 PM
OK, JAK, you have inspired me to check in with some of the regulars. Like many of them, I check this site every day but do not always post. I always focus on the positivity and ignore the trolls. 24/7 will always be my "go-to" site for Adam. When the site went down temporarily, I felt like I'd been severed from my family (Glamily)! I recently got out of the hospital for cancer surgery (doing very well and cancer is gone, Thank God!!). During my stay, I brought my autographed Adam pillow (from the Upper Darby concert) to comfort me, and wouldn't you know it, several of the nurses were Glamberts! I shared GNT memories with one of them who attended the Atlantic City concert with her mom. I was so close to him that night, 5th row! Anyway, these three years have been incompably glorious as I follow the career of this extraordinary young man. What he has brought to my life can never be put into words. I hope all the joys he has brought to everyone he's touched in his life are returned to him tenfold. Love him and love all the fans who frequent this site.
Aquarian Glitz - June 14, 2012 at 3:02 PM
@ Aquarian Glitz........JAK here
That is a tag I haven't seen in quite awhile. Greetings and good healthy days ahead. I too had a hospital Close Encounter of the Glambert Kind. Went to E.R. in middle of night and while nurse was putting in IV and setting me up with B.P. cuff, she moved my purse and saw the Adam Peace Pendant...I use it as a zipper pull. We immediately bonded and talked about our favorite "hobby".
It's always a thrill to find a fellow Glambert. When cuff was ready she said "Okay, now get nice and calm" and she pulled the curtain and left me alone to come down from my "high".
B.P was okay, but the "high" has been hanging around since Idol Season 8! :)) - June 14, 2012 at 5:14 PM

Big Spring Sex Offender Accused Of Exposing Himself To Young Girl
By: Dylan Brooks
Updated: February 5, 2013
Aaron Lustfeldt was arrested by Big Spring Police and Howard County Sheriff's deputies in the 1600 block of Martin Luther King Blvd around 4:45 PM on February 4th.
Big Spring Police say that Lustfeldt, 27, exposed himself to a 9-year-old girl in a playground at Comanche Trail Park around 5:30 PM on February 1st.
Witnesses told police that Lustfeldt was driving a maroon minivan.
Police and Howard County Sheriff's deputies also say Lustfeldt went to Big Spring State Park and the Walmart parking lot in the maroon van over the weekend.
While Lustfeldt was allegedly in both locations, police say he tried to secretly take photos of women as they went about their business.
Deputies later determined that Lustfeldt was a registered sex offender, and a deputy allegedly found the maroon minivan parked outside Lustfeldt's home during a monthly compliance check.
An arrest warrant was then issued for Lustfeldt's arrest.
Now, Lustfeldt is charged with indecency with a child by exposure.

New Mexico's Economy may Affect the State's Vulnerability to Spikes in Gas Prices
By Whitney Jones
Las Cruces, NM – A report by the Environment New Mexico Research and Policy Center and the Natural Resources Defense Council says New Mexico is the fifth most vulnerable state in the nation to rising gas prices. As KRWG's Whitney Jones reports, when oil prices go up, families in vulnerable states like New Mexico, are hit the hardest.

I got an error when creating the Wine Fake drive.
The creation of Wine Fake drive is the passage that immediately follows the creation of the wine prefix.
It seems to me that the version of wine installed in an x86_64 Sabayon Linux environment can't recognize win32 prefixes, but this is strange: take a look at the USE Flags used in the installation of wine in Sabayon (the output is taken from equo install wine; sorry for using Quote tag )

Miriam L. Wallace Professor of English Teaching at New College since 1995 Go to Dr. Wallace's personal homepage In 2002 she was awarded an NEH College Teacher Fellowship for her book Revolutionary Subjects in the English "Jacobin" Novel, 1790-1805, which examined the evolving citizen-subject in late eighteenth-century radical novels (Bucknell, 2009). Her edition of two novels for classroom instruction—Mary Hays's 1796 Memoirs of Emma Courtney and Amelia Alderson Opie's 1804 Adeline Mowbray—was published in 2004. Professor Wallace is currently working on particular examples of legal or criminal speech and writing in the later eighteenth and early nineteenth century, including riots, treason trials, oaths and test acts. She was selected as a Lewis Walpole Library Fellow for her project on "Illustrating Speech: Depicting Professional, Popular, and Illicit Speaking," which she will be researching during the 2012 summer. Her regular course offerings include the "Rise" of the Novel in Britain, Eighteenth-Century British Literature, Romanticism and Revolution in the English Novel, Law and Literature: Rhetoric in Action (writing intensive), Home and Empire: Victorian Literature, Haunted by the Victorians: British Modernist Fictions, Critical Theory in the U.S., and Anglophone Feminist Theory. With Professor Van Tuyl (French), she won the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Shirley Bill Teaching Award for a co-taught course on "The French Revolution in the Cultural Imagination" in 1997.

Sargramostim (GM-CSF) for induction of remission in crohns disease: A cochrane inflammatory bowel disease and functional bowel disorders systematic review of randomized trials
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, 05/15/2012
Evidence Based Medicine
Clinical Article
Roth L et al. – Sargramostim does not appear to be more effective than placebo for induction of clinical remission or improvement in active CD. However, the GRADE analysis indicates that the overall quality of the evidence for the primary and secondary outcomes was low due to sparse data and heterogeneity, indicating that further research likely would have a significant impact on the effect estimates.
Methods- A literature search to April 2011 was performed to identify all randomized trials studying sargramostim in patients with CD.
- The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to evaluate study quality and the GRADE criteria were utilized to assess the overall quality of the evidence.
- Three randomized studies (total 537 patients) were identified.
- The risk of bias was low for the three included studies.
- There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients who achieved clinical remission (GM-CSF 25.3%; placebo 17.5%; relative risk [RR] 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.80–3.50; P = 0.17), or 100-point clinical response (GM-CSF 38.3%; placebo 24.8%; RR 1.71 95% CI 0.98-2.97; P = 0.06).
- There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients (GM-CSF 95.8%; placebo 89.3%) who experienced adverse events (RR 1.07; 95% CI 0.99-1.16; P = 0.08), or serious adverse events (GM-CSF 12.0% vs. placebo 4.8%; RR 2.21; 95% CI 0.84-5.81; P = 0.11).

Wouldn't it be amazing if you could have a professional team of stylists just like your favorite celebrities do? Well, you're in luck! Lisa has assembled a team of some of the biggest names in beauty and fashion to answer your questions for free! The team will choose and answer a few questions each week. So, submit your question below:
Question from Angela:
I will be graduating from college in May and have found a job in Boston at an insurance company... Where can I go to find cute work clothes that aren't too pricey but also aren't too old looking for me? I am 22 years old and this is my first real job.
Beauty Squad Answer:
Not to fret
Boston has a plethora of choices to get you suited for success in the workplace- even on a budget!
Start with smart office chic staples as your foundations.
Pencil skirts
Little black dress
Crop jackets
Opt for tri-seasonal fabrics that give longevity to your investments.
Check out CRUSH on Newbury for well- priced options
ZARA and REISS for trendy little numbers
Remember, to make polished & professional choices.
At 22 its okay to pick out figure flattering silhouettes in fresh colors that keep you on trend…
But be mindful of hemlines & plunging neckline that might distract from the image you're trying to project.
Personalize and refresh key pieces with accessories.
Layer on gemstone collar necklaces that bring focus to the face or stack enamel bracelets as arm candy. These are classic and work appropriate options that add an instant pop.
Find them at knock off price points at Lou Lou, Bobbles and Lace, and Macy's if you cant splurge at Kate Spade, Cynthia Rowley & J.Crew
Now if you're a girl that loves the hunt, shop thrift and consignment stores like Artifaktori and Rescue.
You can find lux and designer labels with a little bit of love, no one in the office will ever have to know.
Be confident in your wardrobe and ultimately yourself…you'll shine
-Lydia Santangelo, Founder TESstylist
Question from Melissa:
What can I do to prevent split ends?
Beauty Squad Answer:
While there are things you can do to prevent split ends unfortunately once you have then they can't disappear. My suggestion to prevent them are a couple of things...over brushing your hair can actually cause them. What you can do is be careful while brushing by starting at the ends and work your way up the shaft toward your roots, once you can detangle from the ends up you can prevent breakage. Also be aware not to brush your hair while you have a lot of product in it, some styling products tend to make hair less pliable which can cause some split ends by tearing through the hair. Wrapping your hair up in a towel is harmless, vigorously towel drying your hair can cause unecessary tangles.Also if you tend to wear your hair tied back try a lower tail, this holds less tension, and when you do take hair down don't tear off elastic....undo it where it's secured the way you put it up. To address the already split ends my suggestion would be to first get regular trims every 4-6 weeks. This doesn't mean you have to cut length but merely let your stylist know your goal for preferred length and they should take your request and truly just get rid of the damaged ends only. It isn't a one 4-6 cycle that will repair but being diligent with trims over the course of 6 months should get you great results. As far as managing to keep your hair looking good there are many products (oribe's hair care line has 2 leave in hydraters and a smoothing serum , bumble has a great pre-blow dry oil) that you can use in the meantime to keep frizzies at bay. Finally if you have somewhat of long hair, don't be hard on yourself for having some spot ends, speaking personally you have to take into consideration how old hair is if it's long. It means you've weathered many seasons (sun, wind, dry air) and perhaps you have color...all these things inevitably will create some split ends but it's the price we pay for wanting, keeping and enjoying long hair. Good luck!!!
-Rossana Casale, Senior Stylist at Salon Mario Russo
If you're looking for a high end look with an affordable price tag.. splurge on one item and surround it with less expensive pieces.. For example: Michelle Obama was wearing a J.Crew belt with a Thom Browne jacket and gloves..
Jenna Dewan-Tatum shows off her growing bare baby bump in the May issue of GLAMOUR - in nothing but a red bra top and blue-and-white striped dress shirt, snuggled up against a giant stuffed panda toy.
Question from Dina:
I'm not the slimmest girl out there, I'm about 30lbs overweight (5'8" and a size 14) and working to get it off, but I have no idea how to dress. I always buy clothes that make me look so frumpy. I tried the overweight woman's stores and those clothes are too big, but everywhere else they are still too small. Do you have any suggestions?
Beauty Squad Answer:
Step One – do not be discouraged or down on yourself in anyway. There are loads of solutions available for you to feel good about what you wear.
Step Two - simplify your quest by one-stop shopping with built in services.
I would recommend shopping at one of the major department stores to start for several advantages - It often allows for one–stop-shopping, offers a range of sizes from missy to plus, accessories, shoes and undergarments all under one roof and most provide a free personal shopping services. Try Macy's, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus. They all offer the amenities that make shopping easier. I always suggest dressing from the inside out, seek out a specialist in the lingerie department for a good uplifting bra that offers seamless support and invest in a tummy/bottom controlling spanx (or similar brand) for your undergarments. Next head over to the Collection floor in the missy area for some great basics. Depending on your lifestyle or needs, you should focus on key items like pencil skirts, cropped blazers, v-neck cross body tops that are figure flattering silhouettes for all body types as work staples. Hit the trend/contemporary floor for some straight leg dark denim jeans (try Not Your Daughters Jeans – specializing in higher waistlines, and slightly fuller legs, or Style & Co. Brand at Macy's). Mix the core jean with empire wast tops, crisp bottom downs and light weight sweaters that take your from season-to-season. You may want to consider scanning the Plus department for some 0x options or 14W for a fuller fit. You are way too small for a 1x or regular Plus department items, but cross shopping on occasion may provide you with a few more options.
Step Three - Experiment with accessories.
Try a statement necklace that offers a color pop, and keeps focus to your face. Play with a mix of heel heights and styles in shoes. Shop some for day (kitten heels, embellished ballet flats, classic peep toe pumps) and for night opt for a t-strap sandal, wedges or metallic tones to kick things up. Try an oversized clutch big enough for all the essentials for day and still works well as you transition to night/social events.
Step Four – why not take some help?
If all of this seems overwhelming to do on your own, take advantage of the FREE personal shopper service that these stores offer. Simply call a location near you and ask to speak with a consultant. The will provide you with a one-one consultation, pre pull looks for you, and even help you cash in on insider coupons and sales. I recommend working with a few, allowing you to get comfortable and have more choices from store to store.
Step Five – feel good about yourself
After spending your valuable time, money and efforts the goal is to feel confident and comfortable in the pieces you select. Rely on the experts to help you achieve some great go-to looks that you feel great in!
Lydia Santangelo, Founder/Stylist for TESstylist
...So it's official... the results are in -- we are all in agreement, that this disgusting!

Speed, Style, Spirit: The Rob Roy Hillclimb
Excerpt from The History of the Rob Roy HillClimb
The Rob Roy Hillclimb
You need to have javascript on and the latest version of

This video is an excerpt from a 49-minute documentary "The History of the Rob Roy Hill Climb" produced by Darren Jones for the Penrite Oil Co. which features rare film footage and photographs, and commentary from six times Australian Hillclimb champion Bruce Walton. It is available in full on DVD at
Rob Roy Books
Rob Roy Hillclimb
, Australia's oldest purpose-built Hillclimb, was established in 1937 at Christmas Hills, about 30 kilometres from the centre of Melbourne. Hillclimbing, in which cars are driven uphill one at a time against the clock, is one of motorsport's oldest events and was first held in 1897 in France.
Cut out of the bush, the Rob Roy course included an uphill, half-mile, graded dirt road. In 1939, the track was sealed and became one of only three bitumen-surfaced purpose-built hillclimbs in the world, the other two being the Shelsley Walsh and Prescott courses in the UK.
The Rob Roy Hillclimb attracted professionals, enthusiasts and amateurs, along with their often specially modified Bugattis, Elfins, MGs and Holdens, and has a special place in Australia's motoring history. Drivers who competed here include Jack Brabham, Harry Firth, Stirling Moss, Jean Behra, Reg Parnell, Stan Jones, Lex Davison, Bill Patterson, Doug Whiteford, Peter Whitehead, Reg Hunt and Len Lukey, drivers who also tackled and in some cases vanquished the Formula One circuit.
In 1962, bushfires ravaged the Rob Roy course, and it lay in disuse for 30 years until the MG Car Club of Victoria secured a lease on the property and faithfully restored the track to host a bustling schedule of Hillclimb events every year.

So I almost got killed on New Year's Eve...
(from my blog, http://blog.myspace.com/nathanatx )
Ok, I'm being dramatic, but it WAS a close call. The evening's events unfolded like this. First, I went to my church's country & western themed New Year's Eve party. That was a lot of fun, they had a pretty good band, plenty of food & "beverages," and a lot of my friends were there. I waited until the ball dropped and then left to go to another party. The party was at this couple's house out by the lake, two very sweet guys. Their house was great, they had a heated pool & hot tub... the hot tub was in a little grotto... very cool. So I got to hang out with my friends and meet several really great new people. After a little while, I headed back into town. There was a light mist coming down. Not enough moisture to do any good, but just enough to make the roads slippery. If you've been to Austin and have been out to Lake Travis, you most likely were on 2222 at some point. It's a curvy, hilly road with lots of steep cliffs. It's beautiful in the daytime, but dangerous in the rain... something I wasn't ever too concerned about, until last night. I was coming uphill around a bend and this big white cadillac was coming downhill. All of a sudden this car jerks and was coming downhill sideways, straight at me! It was all instantaneous. I snapped my SUV out of the way just in the nick of time. The offending car corrected itself and went on it's way and I continued home. During Friday night's Fuel meeting, the young adult ministry that I lead, my lesson was entitled "Creating Your New Year" and centered on the idea that God is all about new beginnings. His mercy for us is unending, his love for us doesn't have a limit. Sometimes we have very clear moments when we realize we've been given a chance at a new beginning. Maybe we avoided a bad car wreck. Maybe we survived a surgery or sickness. But I would suggest that most of the time we're not aware of that sense of being given a fresh start. Maybe we're too focused on our busy-ness and the stress of life. Maybe we've made so many mistakes that we don't feel worthy of a chance to live with a clean slate. Most of us, though probably just aren't giving ourselves a chance to think about it... to become present to and grateful for the newness and freshness of each moment of our lives. I believe that God's mercy and love for us isn't just new every morning, like the Bible says, but that it's new for us every moment... always. The Bible says that nothing could separate us from God's love. Not our busy-ness. Not our feeling unworthy. Not even the hurtful and unloving things we say and do. When we start to "get" God's heart for us, all kinds of miracles are possible in our lives. When we begin to see ourselves in the same light & love that God sees us, we blossom. We can begin to create our lives with freedom and creativity, not limited by doubt, stress or fear. Let 2006 be your year for miracles. Open your heart & mind to a continual awareness of God's love for you. Listen to this month's meditation from http://www.unityonline.org/pray_guidedmeditations.htm. |
Thank God you are ok, Nate
Thank God you are ok. I have been to Austin several times and out to Lake Travis, and it is very tough terrain in the daylight much less during rain or fog. Side note-my grandparents used to live in Jollyville. My uncle graduated from Round Rock High School way back in like 1974. I grew up visiting her in the summer time and grew to love that place. Of course where she lived is now grown up with a subdivision, but I remember quiet summer evenings when she let me sleep out on the porch and the occasional car sound I heard, but mostly just peaceful and quiet and beautiful. Anyway, pardon my trip down memory lane. I am glad you are ok. Hope it didn't shake you up too bad.:) |
Yeah, I'm fine. I like to keep my angels in good shape. :pray: :D
Austin is so beautiful, how did you manage to not settle down here? |
settling in austin
Believe me I would love to someday. Maybe I will get to in the future. I have heard though that it is really expensive to live there and I can't afford a whole lot. Know of anything affordable, not in the half million or million dollar range? For instance, my grandmother's house when my grandfather built it cost him 25,000, it is now worth over 800,000. I can't even come close to that. I am closer to the 25,000 range, which now is close to poverty level if you know what I mean. Seriously, I would jump at the chance to move to the Austin area, if I could afford it.:) BTW, I have some friends in Austin that I met at University Baptist Church annual Gay and Lesbian Retreat last October (2004) and they live close to UT. Their house is ok, but not worth what they are paying for it. If you know of anything or have any insights I would be glad to hear it. :) |
houses in TX
We were just in Austin last week (visiting family, incidentally, we have a relative in Round Rock High School right now, small world huh?) - anyway, I'm pret-t-ty sure we saw some signs advertizing new homes in the low $200s, in or around Austin. In fact, I believe just a few minutes east along the 290 we saw billboard ads for new homes UNDER $200 - and it looks like they are building a new freeway from that area to reach into the heart of Austin. So I think there ARE some opportunities for home purchase around Austin. And our relative bought her first home in Round Rock in summer of 2004 for something in the $100s. It's a 2 bedroom house, nice large living room and kitchen, garage, and a decent sized yard with patio.
Fwiw, at least prices in TX aren't as awful as they are in so many other areas. We live in the Phoenix valley. We bought our home at christmas of 2004 for $225, which was considered a lot for the neighborhood and size of the house - well now, a year later, nothing in the neighborhood sells for less than that, and our house value has gone up to almost $300. Prices are really swelling in Phoenix, as they are in several other places as well. In Texas, there is still undeveloped space, so I think prices may stay relatively a little lower until it fills in. Which, hopefully won't be for a while. |

I see all the ebay ones. Want one I know works from a member. Had bad luck with a few craigslist's ones
I got a used one with the lower serial numbers. I don't see why there are some many compaints about Line 6. I made one call got a service ticket for repairs at my local service center at no charge. It was way out of factory warrenty without the sells ticket. They messed up and are taking care for it.
Thanks to Eric at Line 6
Just got a nice one Can you telll me the date of purchase ? Also are there any mods that need to be done by the service center ?
Can't tell you the date of manufacture, but based on the serial number it was manufactured after the two known maufacturing issues had been resolved: footswitch durability and USB audio dropout. Your device should have neither of those problems. Just make sure the firmware is up to date (run Line 6 Monkey to check it) and you're good to go.
Enjoy it!!
That is what I hoped. That I found one made past those orther issues. Thanks so much for this forum

A small South Valley school district has a cash at winning some big money. The Lindsay Unified School District is a finalist in the federal Race to the Top grant program.
Lindsay beat out hundreds of other school districts across the country and is one of only four finalists in the state.
A unique learning system has put the Lindsay Unified School District in the running toward a big chunk of change.
Director of curriculum, Lana Brown says, "In Lindsay we do understand that kids learn at different rates and different times, and we wanted the opportunity to let our learners excel."
Regardless of their age or grade, students here progress at their own pace, through what's called performance-based learning. This personalized program pushed the district closer to the finish line in the Race to the Top. It's now one of 61 finalists competing for millions of dollars in federal grant money.
Brown says, "The grant is designed to encourage schools to do things in a new innovative way to prepare learners for the 21st century for the future times and for schools to do things in a different way to meet learners' needs. We're doing just that."
The system is proving to be a success among students like Isaac Castro and Lewis Cha, who are already wise beyond their years.
Isaac Castro says, "I'm in sixth grade and I'm in seventh grade language arts and seventh grade math."
"I'm in seventh grade. I'm in algebra which is ninth grade math here at Lindsay," says Lewis Cha.
If the district makes the final cut, it could receive $10 million spread out over four years, to fine tune the performance- based system.
"We're very excited. We are hoping to win the grant," says Brown.
The district hopes to continue putting kids on a fast track toward their future.
Cha says, "It's a great opportunity for me. I feel that it's a very special program that all schools should have."
The race is not over yet. Again, the district is competing against 60 others. Only about 15 to 25 will receive funding. The winners should be announced December 31, 2012.
Fresno, Clovis, Sanger and Central unified school districts each applied for the grant funding as well, but those applications were turned down.
