Keep your head up and two hands on your stick! Good Luck!

Learning To Play Hockey At 37: First Skate. First Injury.
No biggie. Just a scratch and a bruise. Full story in the blog post above.
You'll progress faster if you put on all your pads and helmet during a freeskate and just go for it. Most people will get out of your way. Falling down is usually a good thing at the beginning. Don't be afraid to go to the middle and invade on the figure skaters space, they're probably good enough to skate around you with not much problem.
I have gloves and a helmet with a shield/cage combo, but I haven't bought the rest of my pads yet. Still recovering financially from buying SCF tickets and my quarter season tickets for next year. I should be able to get the rest of my gear in another pay check or two.
Figure skaters where everywhere. All four corners. In the middle. It was pretty chaotic. I was dodging them far more often than they had to dodge me.
My next step is to start a beginner/intermediate hockey skating class on Tues nights.
Go to Harbor Freight or Home Depot and buy 2 sets of flooring knee pads. They will prob run you $2-$3 a pair.
Use those for Temporary knee and elbow pads for free skating. With those, a helmet and gloves, you are pretty
much covered. Just don't fall on your butt, no tail bone protection.
Do all your skating slow and progress from there. Especially for stopping. Make sure your skates are NOT super sharp.
(Remember when you used to skate board and hit a pebble in the road?) A sliding stop will help you learn to stop. much like snow plow
in skiing. Ask for advice from anyone who looks like they know what they are doing.
Stay away from the center of the ice or the figure skaters, they are too much drama. Plus you risk the possibility of a skate in the face.
Good luck and enjoy.
Thanks for the awesome suggestion on the knee pads. It should only be a few more weeks before I get my pads though. I've been checking some out and I think I'm going to go with the Bauer Nexus 400 line. They are cheap and comfortable. I might even just take some cash out of my poker bankroll to buy them. I never spend my winnings, so I should probably treat myself to something.
I actually have the tailbone protection part covered. I have a pair Skeletools shorts that I use for snowboarding. I can't count the amount of times I've ended up on my butt, and felt little to no pain.
Could you elaborate on what you mean here? I definitely don't have the skills I need to play decent hockey yet, but I have no trouble getting around the ice or stopping.
By the way, thanks to everyone for their interest, encouragement, and advice. It is very much appreciated! I look forward to being able to play in an LGK game some day, and hopefully meet some of you in person.

UPDATE - 12:00 p.m. Wednesday -
Are you sick of hearing my voice yet? The big thing on
today's posting is
my appearance on the BrentNet Radio podcast. That was a 59
minutes discussion as you already read.
However, if you still want more, click here to listen to my fifth airing of the Blogger's Minute which aired on WCCO's Twins Magazine Show before Saturday's game at Oakland. It is a little long. The "Minute" lasted a little more than two minutes! In it, I discuss a number of topics related to the Twins and their minor league system. To listen to previous Blogger Minutes, see the links just to the left.

SethSpeaks on
BrentNet Radio
But the main thing today that I want to talk about is being on BrentNet radio's second episode. We recorded it last night and it was a lot of fun. We basically just had a phone conversation, and it is now available to listen to online. Brent and I discussed a number of topics. The Twins. The Vikings. And we each counted down out Top 5 Most Underrated Sports Movies. We had hoped to fill 20-30 minutes for the show. However, it ended up lasting just under 59 minutes. But it was a lot of fun. Just a phone conversation about fun topics. Now, it does take a little while to download the file, but I really hope you will check it out. I think you will enjoy it whether you agree or disagree with my takes on things. Also, then head over to the BrentNet Forums, sign up and let us know what you think. You'll also find many other fun topics to discuss with the group there.
I posted a large, analytic article yesterday using the Win Expectancy Finder,, so today will be just a few quick thoughts. I was working on some future articles, but the motivation to do much new research just wasn't there. So I'm just going to post a few quick thoughts and hope that you will enjoy the future articles.
Good morning ya'll! Did you stay up and watch the entire Twins/White Sox game last night. Michael Cuddyer homered in the top of the ninth to tie the game at four a piece. It remained that score until Shannon Stewart singled in a run in the 16th inning. Joe Mauer later doubled in a run. Justin Morneau was walked to load the bases, but Terry Tiffee came through with a two run double. Lew Ford singled in a fifth run of the inning to give the Twins a 9-4 lead heading to the bottom of the 16th. Joe Nathan, all warmed up assuming he would be coming into a save situation, still pitched the inning. Here are a couple of game notes:
All 11 Twins players who batted had at least one hit. Shannon Stewart and Joe Mauer each had three hits. Justin Morneau, Matthew LeCroy, Lew Ford, Michael Cuddyer and Brent Abernathy each had two hits.
After his 16th inning RBI single, Shannon Stewart left the game soon after with a leg injury of some sort. It looked as though it might be a groin injury. (it was announced the next half-inning that it is just a cramp) Jacque Jones came in to run for him.
The Twins needed just six pitchers to get through 16 innings. Brad Radke started and gave up the four runs in just 6.2 innings. Juan Rincon got an out to get out of that inning. Then Matt Guerrier came in and, for the 15th consecutive appearance, he did not allow a single run. He went four innings and allowed just three hits and a walk. Jesse Crain pitched two scoreless innings. Then even JC Romero came in and threw two scoreless innings to pick up the win. Joe Nathan struck out Juan Uribe, Joe Crede and Brian Anderson to end the game in the 16th.
Brian Anderson made him big league debut for the White Sox in this game. He went 2-7.
A good win for the Twins. As I've said, even if they're out of playoff contention, they might as well continue to get as many wins as they can.
I have to ask you to send me a quick e-mail telling me how much gas prices are in your area. Here in far north Minnesota, it was $2.42 yesterday, $2.50 this morning, $2.54 this afternoon, and is now sitting at $2.59. That's crazy! I mean, I understand an increased price, just maybe a little more gradual. I would also guess that in many places, $2.59 is still a deal.
Michael Cuddyer is the man! When he hits homers, they go a long ways!
Speaking of long home runs, how about Justin Morneau's two-run shot?
Matt Guerrier is the man! Four shutout innings!
Nick Punto is horrible!
Stick and Ball Guy is back! All it too was a Twins beat writer writing an article on how Gardy thinks that statistics like the Pythagorean Numbers mean nothing! There is no better blogger out there when he's on a rampage!
Is it just strange that Peter Gammons entered the Hall of Fame and now we have to pay for his articles on ESPN.com? Of course, there aren't many ESPN.com writers anymore that can be read for free. Jayson Stark still does, but that is about it. It is too bad. I, for one, refuse to pay to read online articles when I can find so much more other places for free.
I got this e-mail from the American Family Association last night:
Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Selling Sex, Not Burgers Dear Seth,
During the past several months CKE Restaurants (owner of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's) has begun selling sex instead of burgers. When contacted about their sexploitation, the company has been arrogant and in essence told those who complained to get lost.
Here are examples of just how nasty and offensive these ads have become:
- One ad shows a model simulating sexual moves while riding a mechanical bull . The close up shots focus on her naked midriff and bottom, plus seductive facial expressions.
- CKE hired Playboy founder Hugh Hefner as their official spokesperson. Hefner was featured on TV commercials, surrounded by half-nude Playboy playmates.
- Another commercial shows a baby in his mother's womb. The baby is physically and verbally abusing the mother. One version features a tough-talking unborn baby threatening to rip out part of his mother's womb if she doesn't stop eating jalapeno peppers.
- A raunchy, sex-oriented TV ad features Paris Hilton in a thong bikini as she washes a Bentley automobile. (To view the ad, drag the image on the lefthand side of the website to the center screen.)
- And now, Carl's Jr. and Hardee's are giving Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model cups with the purchase of their 44 ounce drink.
CKE is now appealing to hedonism. When companies have trouble selling the quality of their product, they often turn to selling sex. CKE's ads appeal to the 15-25 year old male and if it offends you or your family, they just don't care. They are expected to continue their raunchy campaign in the future.
I like how they link to these "raunchy" sites. I mean, did anyone who got this e-mail not look at the Paris Hilton commercial! I know I did (again!), and I am pretty sure that Tom Brady did too!
If you have any thoughts, please e-mail me.
Here are the remaining pitching matchup for tonight's series finale. And what a matchup it promises to be as two of the top lefties in baseball square off.
Wednesday - 7:05 p.m. - Johan Santana (11-6, 3.48, 1.04, .226) vs Mark Buehrle (13-5, 2.99, 1.17, .259)
Wednesday - RED WINGS 5, Pawtucket 4 - The teams were knotted at one through nine innings. Then Pawtucket scored three 10th inning runs off of Ricky Barrett. However, in the bottom of the 10th, the Red Wings scored four runs on a Josh Rabe walk-off grand slam! It was his 10th homer of the year. Jason Tyner was 2-4. Boof Bonser started and gave up a run on two hits and four walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out nine. Willie Eyre and Travis Bowyer combined for 2.1 innings of scoreless relief.
Wednesday - ROCKCATS 8, Erie 7 - Glen Perkins was roughed up again, but the team came back and won with a run in the 10th. Perkins started and gave up six runs on seven hits and a walk over just 3.2 innings. Daylon Childress then gave up a run in 2.1 innings. Jannio Gutierrez went 1.1 innings without allowing a run. Kevin Cameron improves to 6-1 by throwing 2.2 scoreless innings. Luis Jimenez went 3-5 with two doubles. Denard Span, Matt Moses, Doug Deeds, Alex Romero and JR Taylor each had two hits.
Wednesday - MIRACLE , Clearwater - Jay Rainville was impressive again on his way to another win. In six innings, he gave up a run on six hits and a walk and struck out four. Tristan Crawford helped by throwing a scoreless inning. Jay Sawatski pitched up his 11th save with two scoreless innings. Matt Tolbert went 3-4. Brock Peterson had two doubles in four at bats. Trent Oeltjen had two hits.
Wednesday - SNAPPERS 4, Quad Cities 1 - Kyle Aselton has been striking out a lot of batters per inning since joining the rotation, unfortunately he has also walked a lot of hitters. Last night, he put together a great start! In seven innings, he gave up just an unearned run on just one hit and one walk. He struck out nine. Josh Hill pitched two scoreless innings for his second save. Tarrence Patterson went 2-4 with a double. Steven Tolleson hit his second homer.
Wednesday - E-Twins 6, Bristol 3 - Danny Vais improved to 5-0 with six innings of one-run ball. He gave up two hits and a walk. Alexander Smit struck out three in two shutout innings. Yancarlos Ortiz and Larry Jones each had two hits.
Wednesday - GCL Twins 9, GCL Red Sox 8 - The Twins scored five runs in the top of the 9th to steal a win from the Sox. The big hit was a three-run homer from Paul Kelly in the 9th. Kelly also had a double. Richard Sojo had two doubles in five at bats. Marion Knowles had a double and a triple in five at bats. Josh Dean went 2-4 with a double and a walk. Jose Castillo gave up four runs (3 earned) in just 3.2 innings. Patrick Bryant gave up two runs (1 earned) over 2.1 innings. Walter Patton got the win by pitching a scoreless eighth inning. Aaron Craig gave up a run in the 9th, but still recorded his 10th save.
On that note, I am going to call it a day! I hope everyone has a good one! As always, please feel free to e-mail me your thoughts on the Twins, the minor leagues, or anything you would like to discuss.

Recently there were suggestions flying around for 40th birthday presents for a friends 40th birthday present.
Well, I am looking for my DH's 40th birthday present. I know for sure that he doesn't like watches, jewelry or anything of that sort.
We won't be having a party for him until after I convocate in the Spring and we move back to our home city (we just don't have many friends here...). So I would like to have a very special present for him but like usual have no ideas. Our kids will be getting him a football jersey of our favorite sports team. He thinks that will suffice (probably b/c I am in university and we are down to one income)- but I think he secretly is hoping for something more and I would really like to surprise him with something...
I am thinking in the $200-300 range.
Just give him a rainscheck for the gift you originally wanted to give him. If money is tight right now I'm sure he will be delighted at your restraint in saving money, as most DH's seem to be inclined :) He'll get a great gift in the end and something to look forward to in the process.
Print some photos of the team and of the city the team is from, that kind of thing and stick it on one side of a birthday card.
who is DH?
What about tickets for his favourite Football team game if they are close enough for him to get to. An overnight getaway for the 2 of you. My SIL bought my BIL a days rental of a really fancy sports car that he loved. He got to tour around in this dream car for the day and had a ball.

Don't trust Apple Maps: Victoria Police
Screenshots published by Victoria Police before the Apple fix.
(Credit: Victoria Police)
Victorian police yesterday issued a warning to motorists travelling towards Mildura to put away their iPhones and iPads, and not trust Apple's Maps to navigate.
The warning comes after police had been called to rescue a number of stranded travellers, on several occasions. They had been directed into the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park, which Apple Maps indicates as being Mildura itself. Police said that some of the motorists that had relied on Apple Maps had been stranded for up to 24 hours and had to walk a long distance to find phone reception to call for assistance.
Police had tested the route using Apple Maps themselves, and confirmed that the route was 70kms off the mark.
Wired is reporting that Apple has fixed the navigation, showing a screenshot of the corrected route, however, our tests locally have proved otherwise. We created routes from Adelaide, Swan Hill and Melbourne and were directed to the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park on each occasion.
Looking for a Maps alternative? Here are some of our favourites.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Interviews with rescuers who helped find and pull bodies from West Virginia's Upper Big Branch mine last year suggest some of them question who was in charge during the chaotic early hours after the explosion -- Massey Energy Co. or the federal government.
So do relatives of at least two of the 29 men who died in the nation's worst coal mining disaster since 1970.
The interviews show ill-equipped Massey executives Chris Blanchard and Jason Whitehead charged deep into the mine just after the blast. So did two fully equipped and trained Massey mine rescue teams. And at least early on, even government mine rescue teams assumed Massey Chief Operating Officer Chris Adkins was directing the search for victims.
Blanchard and Whitehead stayed inside the mine despite concerns raised by two federal Mine Safety and Health Administration officials who testified they felt the executives were creating confusion underground by ignoring rescue protocols and creating footprints in the dust that could throw off the searchers.
That behavior is "the way Massey has been all along -- above the law,'' said Gary Quarles, whose son Gary Wayne died in the April 5, 2010, explosion. "Blanchard and Whitehead, they just thought they didn't have to answer to nobody, that they could go and do what they wanted to do.''
Quarles said Wednesday he's read only seven transcripts so far, but they're enough to raise questions about why MSHA didn't take over and order the executives out.
"They were acting on their own,'' he said, "and didn't care what MSHA and the state had to say.''
Clay Mullins, whose brother Rex died in the blast, called the company's actions "typical Massey.''
"My impression is that Massey took control of everything down there that night,'' he said. "It looked to me like they just pushed MSHA to the side and did what they wanted to do. They didn't want to have backup rescue teams or anything.''
Officials from Massey and MSHA did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday.
It is unclear whether Blanchard, president of the mining subsidiary that managed Upper Big Branch, and Whitehead, then director of underground performance, have talked with investigators. Massey has said they were merely trying to save the lives of their men.
But in some of thousands of pages of documents released this week, it's clear the Massey executives weren't the only ones who knowingly broke the established rules of mine rescue, charging into the hellish blast scene without permission, sufficient equipment or backup in what turned out to be a vain attempt to save others.
Other rescue team members defend their actions as the natural impulse of a coal miner to help a fallen comrade.
"If you had people in there, and it was your mine and your friends or your workers, you'd probably go in, too, as far as you could go reasonably without endangering yourself,'' MSHA rescuer Virgil Brown told investigators.
But MSHA's Jerry Cook, who was barred from helping with the search after an initial clash with Massey executives, told investigators their presence only made things worse.
"You know, it's bad enough to try to find 29 people, you don't need to have 40 more to look for,'' he said, adding that Blanchard and Whitehead could have ended up doing something to change the environment underground.

General Record Schedules
State Agency Record Schedules
Local Agency Record Schedules
Disposition Orders
Targeted Assistance Program
Records Management Handbook
A record schedule is a "manual, directive, or policy containing descriptions of and disposition instructions for retention, access, and management of all public records or documents" (3 V.S.A. § 117). Pursuant to 1 V.S.A. § 317a, which was added by Act 96 of 2008, a "custodian of public records shall not destroy, give away, sell, discard, or damage any record or records in his or her charge, unless specifically authorized by law or under a record schedule approved by the state archivist pursuant to subdivision 117(a)(5) of Title 3."
Each state agency has a designated records officer or records liaison who is responsible for the agency's records management program, including records retention. Prior to contacting VSARA, State employees should contact their respective records officer or liaison for information about recordkeeping requirements. Local agencies do not have records officers. Please visit our Local Records website for information specific to local public agencies.
The Vermont State Archives and Records Administration has developed General Record Schedules (GRS) that any public agency (state and local) may adopt. Please see our General Record Schedules web page for more information.
Agencies that have been using disposition orders to manage their records may continue to use them until they are superseded by an agency specific record schedule and/or general record schedules. More details are available on our Disposition Orders web page.
Please note that VSARA offers a Targeted Assistance Program (TAP) for agencies wishing to update their records management program and/or create agency specific record schedules. Agencies must go through TAP if they wish to supersede their existing disposition orders with an agency specific record schedule approved by the State Archivist.
To learn more about Managing Records, please contact us at: . Specific staff contact information is located on our staff contact page.

You need to contact HP support and ask for Win8 compatible drivers, if they don't have them on their website, or if the ones on the website do not work.

The Two-Way Will Mubarak News Further Delay Democracy? June 20, 2012 Some Egyptians fear the military is going to further "bamboozle the democratic process," NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson reports. The concern: Generals will cite Mubarak's declining health — or death if that happens — as a reason to put off reforms.
The Two-Way Egypt Braces Amid Reports Of Parliament Being Dissolved June 14, 2012 Parliament had passed a law barring former Mubarak aides from seeking office. Now the nation's highest court has rejected that. And it has taken aim at the parliament. Protests are expected.
The Two-Way New Coma Report About Mubarak June 11, 2012 A spokesman for Egypt's interior ministry tells CNN that the former president is in a "full coma." The BBC, however, says it's been told Mubarak is not in a coma. Rumors about the severity of his problems continue to swirl.
The Two-Way Ousted Egyptian Leader Mubarak Sentenced To Life In Prison June 2, 2012 Former President Hosni Mubarak was convicted on Saturday in connection with the killing of protesters during last year's uprising. The protests pushed Mubarak to resign after nearly 30 years in power.
The Two-Way In Egypt These Days, Lying About A Nose Job Can Bring A Politician Down March 5, 2012 It was more than 30 years before Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak lost his grip on power. It took less than a week for an "ultra-conservative Islamist member" of the post-Mubarak parliament to be forced to resign for lying about his surgery.

text: In May, a lawyer from the Spanish National Court Office of the Prosecutor petitioned [JURIST report] judge Ismael Moreno to issue arrest warrants for 13 CIA agents who allegedly kidnapped El-Masri. The Office of the Prosecutor alleged that the court had jurisdiction to issue the warrants because the agents made a stop in Spanish territory using hidden identities without official Spanish government authorization to do so. In 2008, El-Masri petitioned [ACLU materials; JURIST report] the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) [official website] to open an investigation of human rights violations by the US, alleging that he was tortured by the CIA. In 2007, the US Supreme Court rejected [JURIST report] without comment El-Masri's petition for certiorari, ostensibly supporting the Bush administration's contention that allowing El-Masri's federal lawsuit to proceed would require the revelation of state secrets. Also in 2007, the German Justice Ministry said that it would not press a formal request [JURIST report] to extradite the 13 CIA agents suspected of participating in El-Masri's alleged rendition after the Bush administration informed them it would not comply with a such a request, despite a 2006 German investigation that concluded there was no evidence to disprove El-Masri's allegations.

The SUNY Fredonia Women's Choir will be performing the 25th annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at Fredonia's First United Methodist Church at 8 p.m. Saturday. This beloved holiday tradition will combine readings and musical portrayals of the story of Christmas. There is no fee for the event, but the Student Opera Theater Association is sponsoring a non-perishable food drive as a freewill offering. Monetary donations to the host church are always welcome as well.
The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols began in 1918 at the Church of England, marking the beginning of Christmas through nine Biblical readings. The SUNY Fredonia performance models the service presented annually at King's College Cambridge, England, but with its own unique Fredonia traditions. In celebration of the 25th anniversary, the Women's Choir will feature a number of local artists, including James Bigham, organist/choirmaster at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Buffalo, mezzo-soprano Lynne McMurtry, and flutist Susan Royal. The choir will also present newer works by composers Persis Vehar and Keith Peterson, SUNY Fredonia faculty emeritus, with the composers in attendance. This year's festival also features works by Daniel Pinkham, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gabriel Faure, Carlisle Floyd, and Caludio Monteverdi, among others.
The community is welcome to join in for an evening of thoughtful readings and reflective musical responses as the choir celebrates the 25th anniversary of this annual campus-community tradition. The First United Methodist Church is located at 25 Church St.

Davis Bynum chardonnay is driven by vineyard sites. The eastern parts of Russian River Valley, nearing Highway 101, tend to be slightly warmer than the very cool western reaches. While maintaining ample crispness due to balanced acidity, the additional warmth pushes the flavor profile toward tropical and the mouth-feel to a round texture that is at once lush, but with a clean lingering finish.
"Winemaking in Russian River Valley is a true pleasure. No other region outside of Burgundy stamps as distinct a signature pinot noir and chardonnay. I see my job as winemaker to naturally guide the fruit through the fermentation process, maturing the wine in the finest French oak barrels, all the while retaining the authentic flavors of the region." – Gary Patzwald, Winemaker
The Davis Bynum Winery story begins in 1951 when Davis Bynum, then a young newspaper man for the San Francisco Chronicle, bought 50 pounds of grapes from Robert Mondavi and made 3.5 gallons of petite sirah. It wasn't a great wine, says Davis, but then we drank it all before it was six months old! In 1971, Davis acquired vineyard land in the Napa Valley, near St. Helena. After...Read More About Davis Bynum
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to...Read More About Russian River

Islam in Australia
Islam in Australia is a minority religious group. According to the 2011 census, 476,291 people, or 2.2%[1] of the total Australian population were Muslims. This made Islam the fourth largest religious grouping, after all forms of Christianity (64%), no religion (22.9%) and Buddhism (2.5%). Demographers attribute Muslim community growth trends during the most recent census period to relatively high birth rates, and recent immigration patterns.[2][3]
While the Australian Muslim community is defined largely by religious belonging, the Muslim community is fragmented further by being the most racially, ethnically, culturally and linguistically diverse religious grouping in Australia[citation needed], with members from every ethnic and racial background, including Aboriginal and Anglo-Celtic Australian Muslims. Members of the Australian Muslim community thus also espouse parallel non-religious ethnic identities with related non-Muslim counterparts, either within Australia or abroad.
Pre-European Australia[edit]
The first Muslims in Australia were traders from ethnic groups indigenous to the Indonesian archipelago.[4] The Macassan and Bugis traders from Indonesia may have had a relationship with the Indigenous people of northern Australia, and their language influenced Indigenous Australians of different tribes.[5]
Macassan trepangers and Bugis traders from Sulawesi (formerly Celebes) visited the coast of northern Australia for hundreds of years prior to arrival of Europeans in Australia to fish for trepang (also known as sea cucumber or "sandfish"), a marine invertebrate prized for its culinary and medicinal values in Chinese markets.
During the voyages the Macassans left their mark on the people of northern Australia — in language, art, economy and even genetics in the descendants of both Macassan and Indigenous Australian ancestors that are now found on both sides of the Arafura and Banda Seas.[6]
Early fleets of settlers used Muslims from coastal Africa and the islands and territories under the British Empire, for labour and as navigators.[citation needed]
19th century[edit]
Between 1860 and the 1890s a number of Central Asians came to Australia to work as "Afghan" camel drivers. Camels were first imported into Australia in 1840, initially for exploring the arid interior (see Australian camel), and later for the camel trains that were uniquely suited to the demands of Australia's vast deserts. The first camel drivers arrived in Melbourne, Victoria, in June 1860, when eight Muslims and Hindus arrived with the camels for the Burke and Wills expedition. The next arrival of camel drivers was in 1866 when 31 men from Rajasthan and Baluchistan arrived in South Australia with camels for Thomas Elder. Although they came from several countries, they were usually known in Australia as 'Afghans' and they brought with them the first formal establishment of Islam in Australia.[7]
Cameleers settled in the areas near Alice Springs and other areas of the Northern Territory and inter-married with the Indigenous population. The Adelaide, South Australia to Darwin, Northern Territory, railway is named The Ghan (short for The Afghan) in their memory.[8]
The first mosque in Australia was built in 1861 at Marree, South Australia.[9] The Great Mosque of Adelaide was built in 1888 by the descendants of the Afghan cameleers.
During the 1870s, Muslim Malay divers were recruited through an agreement with the Dutch to work on Western Australian and Northern Territory pearling grounds. By 1875, there were 1800 Malay divers working in Western Australia. Most returned to their home countries.
Early 20th century[edit]
The first attack planned against Australian civilians to be motivated by political Islam was carried out at Broken Hill, New South Wales, in 1915, in what was described as the Battle of Broken Hill. Two Afghans who pledged allegiance to the Islamic Ottoman Empire murdered four Australians before being killed by the police.
In the early 20th century, Muslims of non-European descent were banned from emigrating to Australia under the provisions of the White Australia policy.
However, some Muslims still managed to come to Australia. In the 1920s and 1930s Albanian Muslims were accepted, whose European heritage made them compatible with the White Australia Policy. Albanian Muslims built the first mosque in Shepparton, Victoria in 1960 and the first mosque in Melbourne in 1963.
Post World War II[edit]
The perceived need for population growth and economic development in Australia led to the broadening of Australia's immigration policy in the post-World War II period. This allowed for the acceptance of a number of displaced Muslims who began to arrive from Europe mainly from the Balkans, especially from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Moreover, between 1967 and 1971, approximately 10,000 Turks settled in Australia under an agreement between Australia and Turkey.
From the 1970s onwards, there was a significant shift in the government's attitude towards immigration. Instead of trying to make newer foreign nationals assimilate and forgo their heritage, the government became more accommodating and tolerant of differences by adopting a policy of multiculturalism.
By the beginning of the 21st-century, Muslims from more than sixty countries had settled in Australia. While a very large number of them come from Bosnia, Turkey, and Lebanon, there are Muslims from Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran, Fiji, Albania, Sudan, Egypt, the Palestinian territories, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, among others.

Larger-scale Muslim migration began in 1975 with the migration of Lebanese Muslims, which rapidly increased during the Lebanese Civil War from 22,311 or 0.17% of the Australian population in 1971, to 45,200 or 0.33% in 1976.[citation needed] Lebanese Muslims are still the largest and highest-profile Muslim group in Australia, although Lebanese Christians form a majority of Lebanese Australians, outnumbering their Muslim counterparts at a 6 to 4 ratio.
Lebanese Muslims form the core of Australia's Muslim Arab population, particularly in Sydney where most Arabs in Australia live. In 2005 there where race riots following the 4 December attack on Surf Life Savers at Cronulla Beach. Approximately 3.4% of Sydney's population are Muslim. Adherents of the Sunni denomination of Islam are concentrated in the suburb of Lakemba and surrounding areas such as Punchbowl, Wiley Park, Bankstown and Auburn. Turkish Muslims are not far behind, in fact, statistics show that the Turkish Muslim population in Australia will surpass the Lebanese Muslim population in the next decade or so. The majority of Turkish Muslims in Sydney are from Auburn, Eastlakes and Prestons. Despite still having a large Turkish population in Auburn and Eastlakes, many Turks moved out of these areas and moved to Prestons to be close to the new and growing Turkish private school, Sule College which is run by people closely affiliated with the worldwide Feza Foundation. Adherents of the Shi'a denomination of Islam is centred in the St George region of Sydney, Campbelltown, Fairfield, also Auburn and Liverpool, with the al-Zahra Mosque being built at Arncliffe in 1983,[10] However there are also a small number of adherents to the Ahmadiyya sect.[11] During the 1980s the Australian Muslim population increased from 76,792 or 0.53% of the Australian population in 1981, to 109,523 or 0.70% in 1986.[citation needed] In the 2011 Census, the Muslim population was 479,300 or 2.25%, an increase of 438% on the 1981 number.
There are also Somali populations scattered throughout Australia who fled their country from the start of the Somali civil war in 1991. The general increase of the Muslim population in this decade was from 147,487 or 0.88% of the Australian population in 1991, to 200,885 or 1.12% in 1996.[citation needed]
In 2005, an attack on Volunteer Surf Life Savers by Lebanese Australian Muslims and verbal abuse of the local women with phrases such as 'You're a slut', 'you Aussie slut', 'you should be raped' caused the 2005 Cronulla riots. At this time the overall Muslim population in Australia had grown from 281,600 or 1.50% of the general Australian population in 2001, to 340,400 or 1.71% in 2006. The growth of Muslim population at this time was recorded as 3.88% compared to 1.13% for the general Australian population.[citation needed]
Many Muslims living in Melbourne are Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and Turkish Muslims. Melbourne's Australian Muslims live primarily in the northern suburbs surrounding Broadmeadows (mostly Turkish) and a few in the outer southern suburbs such as Noble Park and Dandenong (mainly Bosniaks).
Very few Muslims live in regional areas with the exceptions of the sizeable Turkish and Albanian community in Shepparton, Victoria and Malays in Katanning, Western Australia. A community of Iraqis have settled in Cobram on the Murray River in Victoria.[12]
Perth also has a Muslim community focussed in and around the suburb of Thornlie, where there is a Mosque. Perth's Australian Islamic School has around 2,000 students on three campuses.
Mirrabooka and neighbouring Girrawheen contain predominantly Bosniak communities. The oldest mosque in Perth is the Perth Mosque on William Street in Northbridge. It has undergone many renovations although the original section still remains. Other mosques in Perth are located in Rivervale, Mirrabooka, Beechboro and Hepburn.
There are also communities of Muslims from Turkey, the Indian subcontinent (Pakistan, India and Bangladesh) and South-East Asia, in Sydney and Melbourne, the Turkish communities around Auburn, New South Wales and Meadow Heights and Roxburgh Park and the South Asian communities around Parramatta. Indonesian Muslims, are more widely distributed in Darwin.
There is a deep split within the Australian Muslim community. Many of the Muslims in New South Wales are Arabs but there are also Turkish and Bosnian Muslim communities, while Victoria has predominantly Bosnian, Turkish or Albanian Muslims.[citation needed]
Present day[edit]
Population statistics[edit]
The following is a breakdown of the country of birth of Muslims in Australia from 2001:[13]
- Australia: 36%
- Lebanon: 10%
- Turkey: 8%
- Afghanistan: 3.5%
- Bosnia-Herzegovina: 3.5%
- Pakistan: 3.2%
- Indonesia: 2.9%
- Iraq: 2.8%
- Bangladesh: 2.7%
- Iran: 2.3%
- Fiji: 2.0%
There were 281,578 Muslims recorded in this survey; in the 2006 census the population had grown to 340,392.[14] 48% of Australian-born Muslims claimed Lebanese or Turkish ancestry.[13]
The distribution by state of the nation's Islamic followers has New South Wales with 50% of the total number of Muslims, followed by Victoria (33%), Western Australia (7%), Queensland (5%), South Australia (3%), ACT (1%) and both Northern Territory and Tasmania sharing 0.3%.[citation needed]
The majority of people who reported Islam as their religion in the 2006 Census were born overseas: 58% (198,400).[14] Of all persons affiliating with Islam in 2006 almost 9% were born in Lebanon and 7% were born in Turkey.[15]
When comparing top three religious affiliations of residents in the top 15 countries of birth of migrants to Australia compared with that of Australian residents born in those countries (2006 census), the following results relate to Islamic population proportions:.[14]
Country of origin | Proportion of people with Islam or Muslim as their religious affiliation in country | Proportion of Australian residents born in that country with Islam or Muslim as their religious affiliation |
India | 13% are Muslim | Islam not in top 3 responses for religious affiliation |
Philippines | 5% Islam | Islam not in top 3 responses for religious affiliation |
Greece | 1.3% Muslim | Islam not in top 3 responses for religious affiliation |
Germany | 4% Islam | Islam not in top 3 responses for religious affiliation |
South Africa | 1% Islam | Islam not in top 3 responses for religious affiliation |
Malaysia | 60% Islam | Islam not in top 3 responses for religious affiliation. Malaysia has a 60% Muslim population, but only 5% of Malaysian-born Australians cited Islam as their religion.[14] |
Netherlands | 6% Islam | Islam not in top 3 responses for religious affiliation |
Lebanon | 60% Muslim | 40% Islam |

There are developed trade links between Australia and several Muslim countries, particularly Middle Eastern, for instance through the export of halal meat. The meat export industry is regulated in Australia and managed by the Meat and Livestock Association.
Of the thousands of international students studying in Australia, a number[quantify] are Muslims from countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Since the 2001 World Trade Center attacks in New York, and the 2005 Bali bombings, Islam and its place in Australian society has been the subject of much public debate.[16] A number of forums and meetings have been held about the problem of extremist groups or ideology within the Australian Islamic community.[17][18] Politicians and the media have taken a robust approach to tackling militant Islam at home and abroad.[19] Jamaah Islamiyah's bomb attack on the Bali tourist resort in Indonesia on 12 October 2002, killed 88 Australians. Some 20 Australians were killed on 9/11. Australia's Prime Minister, John Howard, was in Washington on 9/11. Australia immediately committed special forces to the war against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. After the 7/7 attacks in London, Mr Howard established a Muslim Community Reference Group and said that no radicals would be invited to join. When al-Hilali (the Mufti of Australia) suggested Holocaust denial, Andrew Robb, the Australian Parliamentary Secretary for Multiculturalism, said he would not be reappointed to the group. Peter Costello (Mr Howard's deputy) warned that, if the radical Muslim cleric Abdul Nasser Ben Brika really wanted to live under Sharia law, he might choose voluntary deportation to Iran. In October 2006, Muslim cleric Taj El-Din Hilaly compared women who do not wear the Islamic veil to "uncovered meat", implying that they were responsible for gang rapes perpetrated by Muslims; "if the meat was covered, the cats wouldn't roam around it".[20][21][22] Hiali's comments echoed earlier comments placing the blame on women for rape made by Sheik Feiz Mohammed.[23][24] Angry responses to the comments were made from Muslim women as well as non-Muslim figures.[25] A similar incident occurred in January 2008, when cleric Samir Abu Hamza, leader of the Islamic Information and Services Network of Australasia, told his male followers they can beat and rape their wives if they're disobedient.[26] He also denounced Australian culture as one of beer, gambling, and prostitutes.[27] These comments were condemned by both the Muslim community and the public at large;[28] Prime Minister Kevin Rudd demanded an apology for the comments, saying "Australia will not tolerate these sorts of remarks. They don't belong in modern Australia, and he should stand up, repudiate them and apologise".[29] As part of the broader issue of women's rights under Islam (particularly in light of the misogynistic statements by Islamic leaders) the perceived gender inequality in Islam has often been the focal point of criticism in Australia via comparisons to the situation of women in Islamic nations. Muslim women face hurdles both from within the Muslim community and from the wider community.[16][30]
Unemployment rates amongst Muslims born overseas are higher than those born in Australia. Average wages of Muslims are much lower than those of the national average, with just 5% of Muslims earning over $1000 a week compared to the average of 11%.[16]
A 2004 report from the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission showed that many Muslim Australians felt the Australian media was unfairly critical of, and often vilified their community due to generalisations of terrorism and the emphasis on crime. The use of ethnic or religious labels in news reports about crime was thought to stir up racial tensions.[31]
In March 2011, Imam Sheikh Taj El-Din Hilaly denounced Feiz Mohammad.[32] He called Feiz Mohammad dangerous, and insisted that he be banned from delivering sermons to young Muslims.[32] He said his preaching "can lead young people to move away from their family and community [and] to distance and isolate themselves."[33] He added, "If religion had something like the Australian Medical Association, or a trade authority, they would not allow him to be preaching, they wouldn't give him a licence ... I haven't seen a change in him."[34]
On 15 September 2012, the 2012 Sydney Islamic riots erupted due to an anti-Islam film. Islamic groups in the state condemned the violence.[35]
Aboriginal Muslims[edit]
Islamic contact with the Aboriginal population may be older than its contact with Christianity, which had a more profound impact. The first contacts between Aborigines and Muslims include some of the oldest contacts Aborigines had with the outside world itself.[36] (see Macassan contact with Australia).
As of 2003, the growing community of indigenous Aboriginal Muslims, was conservatively estimated as 1000 individuals.[37] Others are descendants of Afghan cameleers or, as in the Arnhem Land people, have Macassan ancestry.[38] The boxer Anthony Mundine is a member of this community.[39]

Sundance, WY – With hunting underway all across South Dakota and Wyoming, visitors are reminded to follow South Dakota and Wyoming hunting regulations, as well as Black Hills National Forest shooting and travel regulations:
"We'd like to remind the public that off-highway vehicle (OHV) travel is allowed only on roads and trails designated open to motorized use," said Steve Kozel, Bearlodge District Ranger. Black Hills National Forest offices offer free maps showing routes open to motorized travel. These maps are also available on the Black Hills National Forest website. "Please be a courteous hunter; illegal off road travel can ruin someone else's hunting experience," said Kozel.
Some areas may not be safe to hike in during hunting season. Please review the maps of game management units and stop by a local Forest Service office to find out which areas are best to avoid during the season.
The Black Hills National Forest contains dead trees, killed by the mountain pine beetle. Remember – your safety is your responsibility. Locate vehicles and campsites away from dead trees; they can fall without warning and carry an ax or saw in case a tree falls across a road. Check the status of your desired campground by visiting: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/blackhills/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5370500&width=full, or call a local Forest Service office for more information. Reservations for most campgrounds can be made at www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777.
Setting up your own campsite away from developed fee sites, also known as dispersed camping, is allowed on most of the Forest for a maximum of 14 days in any 60-day period. However, around developed reservoirs and campgrounds, camping is allowed only in designated areas.
Fire restrictions remain in effect. Please park in areas clear of tall grass and brush. "The Forest is tinder dry and one small ember could ignite a massive wildfire," said Kozel. Visit http://www.blackhillsfirerestrictions.com/ for more information. Also be sure to check local weather conditions before heading out.
For more information on the Black Hills National Forest, visit http://www.fs.usda.gov/blackhills.

This is great! The only problem I have is that, if it's a 3-on-3 battle, Trip will probably just rely on Serperior-Conkeldurr and a random Poke. I want to see his other Pokemon, the ones who haven't appeared outside their debut episodes.
As far as the info & pic concerned its a 1vs1 battle but 3vs3 would be nice and will be a proper battle for the rival and league.. its shown Serperior squeezing pikachu to pulp.. I wonder if Ash is ready to put Trip out of his misery(participating in UNOVA league).. very interested to see what moves Ash uses in grass vs electric battle.. may be he will apply the tactics from Garbodor vs pikachu battle: making the grass snake tail get into a tangle(knot).. very hard to wait till the ep :(
I wonder what the giant epic battle WILL be, then? None of his other rivals have been given the framework to serve as the final climax. (oh dear Arceus, not Indigo again, please don't) Unless...a dark horse setup is imminent.
Step into the Fairy circle
Luckily there's two things facing off here - Trip failing in the first round and Ash losing everything. We've had Trip break that pattern once, so it should be Ash's turn.
That said, Ash deserves to lose, Trip has been shown to be a far better battler with far stronger Pokemon.
Benga or Rosa should enter!Originally Posted by Samurott
I hope that Serperior hasn't learnt Wrap or Bind, its moveset was so cool before
After seeing that picture I'm starting to believe that the Unova League will open like the Johto League and have a 3 match qualifier in which you have to accumulate a certain number of points to advance to the full battle rounds. I don't think we'll see Ash or Trip eliminated as a result of this battle.
Pokemon White FC: 0648 4815 7165
Pokemon White 2 FC: 3869 6438 9106
I'm hoping they don't do a repeat of Paul and Drapion by having Trip show up with a Seismitoad or Palpitoad.
Sorry but... 'cling on' to the Japanese names? It's not like I'm calling Maril 'Pikablu' or insisting that Satoshi and Kasumi (or Ash and Misty if you'd prefer) belong together... the Japanese names are just as acceptable as the English ones. It's not like I'm using fan terms or anything.Originally Posted by Chaotic Buizel
I'm guessing the Unova league will be very short, only slightly longer than a Don battle tourney.

I am a native Californian, born and raised in Boyle Heights. I have taught at the University level since 1999. I joined the Political Science department at CSULA in the Fall of 2008 and affiliated with the Latin American Studies Program where I teach Special Topic courses on Latin America (POLS 451) and Central America and the Caribbean (POLS 456).
I teach a wide variety of courses in World Politics, Model United Nations, Foundation of Global Politics, International Poltiical Economy (undergraduate and graduate courses), Latin American Politics (undergraduate and graduate) and Central American & the Caribbean. TOP
I am also the faculty adviser for the Model United Nations program at CSULA. Students who participate in this program will learn the structure, history and mission of the United Nations in POLS 420A. Additionally, students will learn how to prepare for the role of ambassador to the United Nations, as well as how to accurately represent the issues from the perspective of the country you will represent in POLS 420B. Those students who are currently enrolled, and in good academic standing in both POLS 420A and POLS 420B will attend the National Model United Nations conference in New York. This program is open to all CSULA undergraduate students, irrespective of your major.
Our Model UN program is very strong and since I started in Fall 2008, we have had the privilege of representing Cuba, Turkey, Spain, and most recently Belgium. Our student delegates have been recognized for their Outstanding Position Papers and their performance as delegates at the conference.
My dissertation examined the political, social, and economic environment that shaped the Zapatista movement. My research identified several reasons to account for the longevity of the Zapatista movement: a changed political opportunity structure in Mexico, a stronger civil society, and the EZLN's capacity to foster a solidarity network of transnational advocacy networks and develop connections at the domestic and international level.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AP) - A colonel from Peterson Air Force Base who's moving on to a new assignment has been replaced by her spouse.
Officials said this week that Col. Jennie Johnson has turned over the 302nd Operations Support Squadron to her husband, Lt. Col. Christopher Lay.
Col. Kurt D. Jones, who presided over the July 14 change-of-command ceremony, says it might be the first time one spouse succeeded another in the U.S. military. Air Force officials at the Pentagon said Thursday they were attempting to verify that.
Johnson's new assignment is deputy commander of a C-130 cargo plane training detachment at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas.
The operations support squadron that her husband now commands handles flight operations, war plans, air crew schedules and other responsibilities for C-130s.

We're having a little Easter party with some of the girls from work this week and I'm so excited! We have a little after-work get together every few months, the excuse for us to meet up and laugh – and have a drink or two – varies (past gatherings have included pumpkin carving and a cookie exchange) but one thing that remains the same is that we all bring something yummy for the group to enjoy. Since Easter is arguably the prettiest holiday – so many pastels! – we thought we would try to make this the prettiest party yet.
I am really loving the ombre trend currently (well, at least I'm assuming it's a trend… I feel I see it everywhere lately) so I thought it would be fun to try and make some ombre pastel cupcake liners to match the ombre cupcakes I'm planning on bringing to the party. I scoured the internet for a DIY, but sadly to no avail, so I had to make it up myself… a daunting prospect.
The cupcake liners didn't soak up the dye like I thought they would, so they ended up being more dip dye than ombre… but despite not turning out quite as planned, I am definitely pleased with the results. I know I'm a bit biased, but I think they turned out really well. They're prettier than plain white cupcake liners, but far less expensive than the printed ones that are available.
What you'll need:
- white cupcake liners
- food colouring (I used red, blue and green)
- water
- bowls for mixing the dye in that are wide enough on the bottom to fit the top of a cupcake liner
- newspaper or an old sheet to protect the surface you're working on (it can get messy)
It's pretty simple actually, all you have to do is mix the food colouring in a bowl with some water (use more water for lighter shades) and then dip the top of the cupcake liner in it. I tried dying the bottom of the liner and it didn't work so well, but perhaps you're more talented than me and can pull it off. Also, as I mentioned the cupcake liners don't soak up the dye very quickly, and since I'm rather impatient I ended up just swishing them around in the dye so the process would go much faster. Swishing them around means that the colour at the top won't be even, but I kind of like it that way.
After you've put the liners in the dye mixture, there will be some excess on them (as you can see above). You can either just wait it out and it will dry eventually, making the colour a bit darker… or you can gently tap the liners on the edge of the bowl to shake off the excess dye. Just make sure you have something underneath, because as you can see below, it can get a bit messy.
The colours I chose to do were pink, purple and seafoam. Mixing up all the colours brought me back to elementary school – it was fun!
Pink was just red dye and water; Purple was a mixture of blue and red (though I think I might have accidentally used more blue than red); Seafoam was a mixture of blue and green (think it was pretty equal that time).
