And I can confess that Pat Grimshaw occasionally demonstrates a refined vocabulary. You don't very often hear 'pugnacious.'
^ you and Giancarlo and your old Canadian friend personify it.
He says the practice of invective is a form of art.
Were T. S. Eliot Australian he would've written:
"Do I dare to eat an avocado?"
(apologies to Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.)
i confess to being in the BEST MOOD OF MY LIFE. i feel like i'm high BUT i'm NOT weeded out. my face is feeling toasted BUT goddamnit, I FEEL GOOD. I FEEL GREAT. i don't know if the ssri's is putting me in a manic state BUT FUCK, I FEEL GOOD and NOTHING CAN GET ME DOWN!!!!
i see that this thread already made a wrong turn because someone appeared to be in a bad mood BUT sheit... i love you xbuzzerx. to think that the same time last week, it was the great depression and NOW, I FEEL .
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I credit the killer edging session you had earlier in the day.
I am not in a bad mood.
this new fuji just wants to sniff guy's necks, smile all day long, put dicks in his mouth and have jizz overflowing him his asshole and mouth. at this moment of this, i wouldn't mind having a bloody rectum from hard sex with a hard cock.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I confess that I didn't know there was so much drama from seemingly nothing on the first page of this thread. Mountain out of a molehill, etc, etc.
Like the SSRI fuji.
Some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America over 100 years.
I confess I'm really thinking about buying this..
1840 Rupee, British East India Company $67.00
Convicts are still crossing the boarder every day.
I miss DigitalFudge's threads.
and I don't dislike buzzer.
Well Australia is made up of convicts
I confess that this forum isn't fun anymore and my plans to leave may be coming sooner than I expected. Wow, guys. Wow.
I don't miss Lana Del Rey.
Lana Banana.
What I most like is the guy with the earphones on giving G-Lex a very no-nonsense look.
Ah, at least we can have another confessions thread--since the other one was confiscated (until further notice?).
Chickenguy--I blame you and your thorough reading of a certain mod.
I confess that I hate hair or dress or similar criticisms of non-entertainment industry events... like inaugurations.
Except for the time Hillary wore a horrible bright orange dress and was scary.
One of my many non-sexual fantasies (yes, I have time for both sexual and non-sexual fantasies) years ago was going to the Oscars and not wearing a tuxedo. Wearing something dashing and daring. Like Captain Harlock's all-black and black-and-red cape ensemble (without the guns). I liked the idea of a man playing dress-up at an event like that. I'm surprised no one has.
I confess that there is one porn star I would pay for an "evening" with.
I'd be willing to give it a kiss. And more.
^ how about their claws lol.

Neal Augenstein, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - In the midst of an early flu season, a new delicatessen is selling many bowls of chicken soup.
"People think of soup as a comforting thing to eat when you're under the weather," says Brian Zipin, general manager of DGS Delicatessen on Connecticut Avenue below Dupont Circle.
Chicken soup's healing powers begin even before the tablespoon enters the stock with all the "herbs and celery and carrots and onion," says Zipin.
"As you're eating it, you kind of sigh and feel like 'Oh, I already feel better," he says.
"Whether that's clinical, medical, or just mental, it doesn't really matter. It does make you feel better."
Zipin says most adults remember a more carefree time when illness meant extra attention from a parent.
"You don't have to be sick. We'd probably prefer you weren't, he says. "But if you come in sick, we'll take care of you and make you feel better."

U.S. Consumer Travel Report Sixth Edition
In the past three years, U.S. consumer travel has had trouble catching up with the nation's overall economic recovery. But after a long, stressful period of watching every dollar and forgoing vacation, travelers took off in 2013, finally treating themselves to the rest and relaxation they'd been craving - and providing the travel industry with a sorely needed boost. Phocuswright's U.S. Consumer Travel Report Sixth Edition is designed to help travel companies make the most of the bright years on the horizon by offering longitudinal analysis of consumer leisure travel behavior, consumption of major travel products, and the trip planning process.

Traveler Technology Survey 2013
Today's travelers are typically within arm's reach of one or more web-enabled devices, whether they are using desktops and laptops at home or work, or mobile technology such as smartphones and tablets on the go. Increasingly, travelers expect their mobile experiences to have the same speed and functionality as the desktop web, and want to use their devices to plan their vacations, navigate busy airports and explore new destinations. Phocuswright's Traveler Technology Survey 2013 presents a comprehensive view of the devices travelers currently own and use, and general trends in mobile web activity. In addition, the report addresses how travelers use social network platforms like Facebook and Twitter to plan their trips and share their travel experiences.

U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition
While the U.S. economy showed clear signs of recovery in 2012, there were enough mixed signals to make vacation decisions difficult for many Americans. Through a longitudinal analysis, Phocuswright's U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition examines traveler behavior along each step of the travel planning process - from the media travelers rely on to make destination and product decisions, to the channels they use to book and share their trip experiences. Key metrics include frequency and duration of trips, travel expenditure and travel component purchases, and travel intentions for the coming year.

Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary Cigars
Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary
The Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary cigar was designed by Rocky Patel to honor his, you guessed it, 15 years in the cigar making business. This box pressed beauty is made up of Nicaraguan fillers and is wrapped in an Ecuadoran Habano leaf. This is a box pressed cigar with a dark, somewhat oily wrapper with little to no veining present.
The aroma off the foot has some dirty earth notes along with some hay and a non-distinct sweetness. The pre-light draw gave off some more of that musty barnyard flavor mixed with some harsh black pepper that coated the mouth. Once lit, the spice is joined by some delicious flavors including bitter/dark coffee and the chocolate flavor that Nicaraguan leaves are known for.
When this cigar first came out, there were some concerns about the final third of the cigar being harsh. Now that this cigar has been out for awhile and has had some additional time to age, it has really come into it's own. Give this Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary cigar a try and perhaps save a few in your humidor to celebrate some anniversaries of your own.

Tony Fernandes is celebrating a healthy deposit into Caterham's bank account after Vitaly Petrov clinched 11th in the Championship.
Having dropped behind Marussia in the standings in Singapore, Caterham faced a race against time to retake the position from their fellow newcomers.
And Petrov did just that in Brazil on Sunday.
Leaving it to the very late race of the season, the Russian brought his car home in 11th place in a wet-dry grand prix.
And that meant Caterham finished ahead of Marussia in the Constructors' Championship, earning the team millions in prize money.
"We have done it. We have done it. We have have done it," Fernandes Tweeted.
"Came 11th and got back to 10th. Worth a lot of money to us. Well done everyone at Caterham."

Red Bull have promised to address Mark Webber's start problems as a matter of urgency after it compromised yet another race for him.
The Australian qualified P3 at the Belgian Grand Prix on Saturday, but his hopes of challenging for the race victory was over before the race even got underway as he had a problem with his clutch.
Team principal Christian Horner feels it is important that they sort out the issue once and for all if they want to stop throwing away points.
"We approach each race as they come, we try to get the best out of the car, we keep pushing in all areas - but there are things we need to improve," he is quoted as saying by Autosport.
"We particularly need to address the start issue with Mark, and have to get on top of that. It has cost us too many points so far."
The Australian slipped to sixth place on the opening lap and, although he managed to regain one place after that, he found himself stuck behind Nico Rosberg of Mercedes for the rest of the race.
"The two practice starts we did were diabolical. The clutch was like tractor. That's where we were. It turned out to be not great. In the end, you murder the tyres trying to recover and it just snowballs," a disappointed Webber said after the race.
Horner echoed his comments and admitted that it was always going to be difficult for him to make up lost ground once they detected problems with his clutch.
"We had a clutch that under delivered and created a horrible start for Mark," explained Horner.
"We could see on the formation lap that the clutch did not appear to be performing as it should. Adjustments were made on the formation lap but the clutch has not delivered as it should have done at the start.
"That compromised him into the first turn and then you are on the back foot from there.
"Fernando [Alonso] got a run on the down hill into Eau Rouge and, after that point, the race became fairly static.
"It was only Fernando who made progress from that point onwards.
"We could close up, but we didn't have enough straightline speed at the end of the straight and we lost ground in the dirty air of the middle sector."

Apple Training: Directory Services
Apple Training: Deployment
I've been speaking at conferences since about 2004 or so. I'm always looking to improve my craft of presenting the material I'm looking to deliver. I certainly think I've improved, but know that I can always get better. Now, I have seen a lot of good advice to speakers, particularly Peter Hosey's, "Presentation Tips," [http://boredzo.org/presentation-tips/] and others. However, most of what I've seen talk mostly about your slides. I also happen to run a conference [http://www.mactech.com/conference], so, I have some views from that perspective as well.
I'm giving a talk at Penn State's MacAdmins Conference. Attached are the talk notes, so people don't have to scribble furiously during the talk:
I'll give you the executive summary ("TL;DR") version right up front: the world of anti-malware products for OS X is pretty awful.
Most products are re-cycled from their Windows counterparts and don't feel like something made for OS X. Many products destabilize the OS or have a heavy impact on CPU. Worst, many have vulnerabilities themselves, making you feel secure for having installed them, but in reality making you less secure.
Then, there's just plain foolishness. While evaluating the state of current A/V for OS X, I tried to get a trial of Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac. After spending time on the website, and figuring I was just missing how to download it, I chatted with a sales rep. No, he assured me, I wasn't just missing it: there is no trial for the Mac. "Can't be," I thought.
The good news: there is a Mac client.
The bad news: you need to download the Windows version of the product, which weighs in at 1GB. It's a Windows .exe executable file. Or is it?
The Windows app is really a 7zip executable, so you can unpack it with The Unarchiver on your mac. This reveals a "Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_12.1.2_Part1_Trialware_EN" folder. Inside that archive at the path SEPM/Packages/, you'll find SEP_Mac.dat. Rename it to SEC_Mac.zip and again use The Unarchiver to unpack this and you'll get a new folder with the installer.
Why the obscurity?
Possibly the worst part of the whole experience? Symantec recommends that you use their Java-based download manager to download the file. Yeah, Symantec is truly concerned about security.
I'll be speaking at this year's MacSysAdmin Conference. So that people can listen without feeling the need to quickly copy everything down, I've prepared this handout that contains everything I reference.
Download it here:
I'm giving a presentation at this year's Penn State MacAdmin Conference. So people can pay attention and don't have to scribble notes, here's a complementary document that contains notes and links to everything I talk about in the presentation.
So, another race (Habitat for Humanity 5k charity, 2011), another batch of data. Unlike the last batch of data, I had less pre-conceived notions about the makeup, as I was paying more attention to our 9-year-old who ran her first 5k with us. Like the last set of data, the bulk of people came from towns in close proximity:
Ronkonkoma Bohemia
35 31
Oakdale Sayville
18 12
Holbrook Patchogue
11 11
Manorville West Babylon
I've been on a small data analysis kick lately. It was great news when a recent race I ran freely shared the race data in a nice plain-text format (http://www.flrrt.com/results/sea11.txt). I converted this into a CSV file and read it into R. Now, just looking at the crowd, I would have guessed that there were a 'few hundred' people, the bulk of which were men. In fact, there were 969 runners overall with nearly an even split between men and women (480 female and 489 male - that's a pretty insignificant margin).
Once again, I had a lot of people asking me about the music I chose for MacTech Conference. The idea for the Intro Playlist is that it entertain people while waiting for the initial opening of the conference. It's timed so that as the final song plays, Neil, Scotty and I can get up on-stage with no worries of changing, muting or stopping the music. Here's what I played this year:
Apple has released a security update for Snow Leopard and Lion that addresses this issue:
Snow Leopard: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1446
Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1447
There is no update for Leopard, so, in that case, you should still follow the instructions below.
Apple's update simply drops these files into place (on Lion):
So, no matter which updates you made to the Diginotar cert -- delete or untrust -- the Apple update will just plow over all of that with the right setting and updated certs.
While ignoring how broken the entire Certificate Authority (CA) model is, here's what you should do right now: Delete the CA cert for Diginotar from your system. Why?
Now, if you're an individual, this is simple: just remove it from your system. Since I largely focus on Macs here, that would be in the keychain. Open Keychain Access.app, search for "Diginotar" and delete the resulting certificate.
...and don't forget Firefox, which keeps its own list of CAs:
But, what if you're a Sys Admin responsible for protecting a fleet of machines and you don't expect end-users to do this themselves? (Or, that you're going to personally visit each machine.) Automate it, of course! The security binary will help you do that:
sudo /usr/bin/security delete-certificate -Z C060ED44CBD881BD0EF86C0BA287DDCF8167478C /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
(You can first check for the existence of the certificate using security's find-certificate instruction.)
Of course, you're using a system management framework that will allow you to run this command on all the machines in your fleet, right?
Update: This turns out to be a little more complex than simply removing the certificate. While removing the Diginotar cert is still recommended, DigiNotar is cross signed by other CAs. Removing the Diginotar root only removes one of them (and there are 5 paths). Also, it seems that there are some bugs in Apple's certificate handling in some cases. So, what can we do?
Certainly, remove the Diginotar cert from your machines, as that does help the most egregious cases. From there, we have two options: Use FireFox 6.0.1, which uses its own root certificate store and is now protected against this. Secondly, we need to wait for a patch from Apple--the only one in a position to really address this. Only a patch from Apple can completely fix browsers and apps that rely on the system store, Safari, of course, being the biggest use case, with Chrome and Mail.app as two other Webkit-based apps that may rely on the system root store for certificate handling.
(Big thanks to Harald Wagener for review on this, and reminding me about using find-certificate.)
GMail, when accessed via IMAP tends to do some "interesting" things. There are several settings that lessen the pain:
1 - Click on, 'Settings,' at the top of the GMail web page while you're signed in. Click on "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" and then scroll down to the "IMAP" section.
2 - Update the following settings:
"When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted" - Auto-Expunge off
"When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder" - Immediately delete the message forever
"Folder Size Limits" - leave as default

Aside from planning, there is another important thing that you need to consider when thinking about touring to the state of DC and this is the kind of transport service to hire. Getting around the city is not an easy task because it entails following different directions from point to point.

So for the best option for each and everyone in your group, hiring a DC Bus Company should be your best bet.
Why Hire a Coach Bus?
You might want to argue why you should hire a coach bus when there are other transport services that can be hired and availed in the city of DC today? The reason to this is quite plain and simple: a coach bus offers a great deal of convenience to each and every passenger who aims to travel from point to point in the city. The conveniences are presented in the following manner:
- A coach bus proves to be the most effective way to explore DC as far as affordability is concerned.
- And for a friendly price, everyone also gets the opportunity to enjoy relaxing and comfortable trips anytime of the day.
- Friendly and professional drivers are also there to handle you safely on the road.
- Coach buses are highly available as they are offered by a good number of bus companies in the city today.
- Hiring a coach bus in DC can now be made conveniently through the company's online portal.

A SmartArt graphic is a visual representation of your information that you can quickly and easily create, choosing from among many different layouts, to effectively communicate your message or ideas. To see a video of a user creating SmartArt graphics, go to Community video: Add illustrations with SmartArt. The examples in the video are shown in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, but you can create SmartArt graphics in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, and Microsoft Office Word 2007 too.
Most content that is created by using 2007 Microsoft Office system programs is textual, even though the use of illustrations improves understanding and memory and encourages action. Creating designer-quality illustrations can be challenging, especially if you are not a professional designer or you cannot afford to hire a professional designer. If you use earlier versions of Microsoft Office, you can spend a lot of time getting shapes to be the same size and to be aligned properly, getting your text to look right, and manually formatting the shapes to match the document's overall style, instead of focusing on your content. With the new 2007 Office release feature called SmartArt graphics, and other new features such as themes (theme: A set of unified design elements that provides a look for your document by using color, fonts, and graphics.), you can create designer-quality illustrations with only a few clicks of your mouse.
You can create a SmartArt graphic in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office Word 2007, or in an e-mail message in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. Although you cannot create a SmartArt graphic in other 2007 Office release programs, you can copy and paste SmartArt graphics as images into those programs.
Because Office PowerPoint 2007 presentations often contain slides with bulleted lists, you can quickly convert slide text to a SmartArt graphic. In addition, you can add animation to your SmartArt graphic in Office PowerPoint 2007 presentations.
When you create a SmartArt graphic, you are prompted to choose a type of SmartArt graphic, such as Process, Hierarchy, Cycle, or Relationship. A type is similar to a category of SmartArt graphic, and each type contains several different layouts. After you choose a layout, it is easy to change the layout for your SmartArt graphic. Most of your text and other content, colors, styles, effects, and text formatting are automatically carried over to the new layout.
When you select a layout, placeholder text (such as [Text]) is displayed, so that you can see how your SmartArt graphic looks. Placeholder text is not printed, nor is it displayed during a slide show. However, the shapes are always displayed and printed, unless you delete them. You can replace the placeholder text with your own content.
As you add and edit your content in the Text pane, your SmartArt graphic is automatically updated — shapes are added or removed as needed.
You can also add and remove shapes in your SmartArt graphic to adjust the structure of the layout. For example, even though the Basic Process layout appears with three shapes, your process may need only two shapes, or it may need five shapes. As you add or remove shapes and edit your text, the arrangement of the shapes and the amount of text within those shapes is updated automatically — maintaining the original design and border of the layout for your SmartArt graphic.
To quickly add a designer-quality look and polish to your SmartArt graphic, apply a SmartArt Style to it.
Top of Page
Before you create your SmartArt graphic, visualize what type and layout are best for displaying your data. What do you want to convey with your SmartArt graphic? Do you want a certain look? Since you can quickly and easily switch layouts, try different layouts (across types) until you find the one that best illustrates your message. Your graphic should be clear and easy to follow. Experiment with different types by using the table below as a starting point. The table is intended to help you get started and is not an exhaustive list.
Also, consider the amount of text that you have, because the amount of text often determines the layout that you use and how many shapes you need in the layout. In general, SmartArt graphics are most effective when the number of shapes and the amount of text are limited to key points. Larger amounts of text can distract from the visual appeal of your SmartArt graphic and make it harder to convey your message visually. However, some layouts, such as Trapezoid List in the List type, work well with larger amounts of text.
Some layouts for SmartArt graphics contain a fixed number of shapes. For example, the Counterbalance Arrows layout in the Relationship type is designed to show two opposing ideas or concepts. Only two shapes can contain text, and the layout cannot be changed to display more ideas or concepts.
If you need to convey more than two ideas, switch to another layout that has more than two shapes for text, such as the Basic Pyramid layout in the Pyramid type. Keep in mind that changing layouts or types can alter the meaning of your information. For example, a layout with arrows pointing to the right, such as Basic Process in the Process type, has a different meaning from a SmartArt graphic with arrows going in a circle, such as Continuous Cycle in the Cycle type.
If you don't see the SmartArt Tools or Design tabs, make sure that you've selected the SmartArt graphic.
You can apply color variations that are derived from the theme colors (theme colors: A set of colors that is used in a file. Theme colors, theme fonts, and theme effects compose a theme.) to the shapes in your SmartArt graphic.
If you don't see the SmartArt Tools or Design tabs, make sure that you've selected a SmartArt graphic.
A SmartArt Style is a combination of various effects, such as line style, bevel, or 3-D, that you can apply to the shapes in your SmartArt graphic to create a unique and professionally designed look.

Connecting to Campus as a Commuter
The transition from high school to college can be challenging. Sometimes this change is especially difficult for students who commute their freshman year. Consequently, Freshman Connections created the Commuter Ambassador program to help commuting first year students.
To help you get the most from your college experience, Ball State has created Commuter Connections. Part of our nationally recognized programs for first-year students, Commuter Connections will help you become familiar with Ball State's vibrant, welcoming campus and meet other freshmen, other commuters, and upper-level students.
In Commuter Connections, you will be teamed up with an upper-level student known as a Commuter Ambassador and a group of other commuters. Your ambassador will help answer questions you might have about Ball State, provide opportunities to hang out and meet other commuters, and hold special events during the semester. You will meet your Commuter Ambassador during Welcome Week, during Commuting 101 which is an event planned just for commuters.
The Commuter Connections program begins with Commuting 101, a mandatory event for all freshmen commuters.
Applications are now closed for the 2014 - 2015 Commuter Ambassador position. Interviews will be conducted on April 8 & 9, with job offers going out before April 14th.

Dan & Jackie Keating
It only took Dan Keating seven years to work up the courage to propose to his wife, Jackie, though he knew early on she was the one he wanted to marry.
Dan first met Jackie nine years ago at Dutch's Tavern after two failed attempts by their families to introduce the young couple to one another.
"I was home from Indiana University one summer nine years ago and my aunt said, 'You have to meet Dan,'" Jackie said. "At the time, (Dan's family) had a suite at Slugger Field and I went and met his entire family and he didn't show up."
Following the first attempt, Dan attended a barbecue where he met Jackie's family, but this time, it was Jackie who was absent from the venue.
Finally, it was at Dutch's, the night Jackie's uncle performed with his band at the tavern, that Dan and Jackie came face to face.
"I walked in the door, my aunt's sister handed me a tambourine, pulled me on stage and the rest is history," Jackie said.
"We went out that night and dated ever since," Dan said.
Seven years later, Dan's moment had arrived. It was time for him to step up and ask Jackie to be his wife.
"We were living in Chicago at the time," Dan said. "We were going to go out and do some Christmas shopping. While we were out, I suggested we go by the Art Institute – Jackie is an art history major and her favorite painting is ('Paris: A Rainy Day'). We walked through and did a quick lap and finished at the painting."
As Jackie and Dan stood before the painting, Jackie suddenly had a feeling of what was about to happen.
"He was so calm all day and then right as we were looking at the picture and we were holding hands, all the sudden he started shaking, and I was like this is it."
Not only did Jackie have an idea the proposal was about to occur, but so did a couple who was watching nearby.
"The cool thing was there was a couple sitting behind us that we didn't really see and this woman took a picture of the proposal in the middle of it," Dan said. "She knew what was happening. She stopped after the whole surreal moment and got our contact information and said she'd send us the picture."
About a year after their wedding on May 30, 2009, Jackie and Dan moved to Louisville, where their families live, after spending five years in Chicago.
Here, Jackie is the chief development officer at Dare to Care food bank, while Dan is the higher-ed sales representative at Office Resources, Inc.
Outside of work, the couple enjoys spending time at Cherokee Park with their three-year-old Goldendoodle, Ralph, and venturing out to various restaurants around town.
"We try to do something different every time," Dan said. "Mayan Cafe is a great spot and Jack Fry's. We've got a couple of couples that we go out with fairly regularly and we always try a new restaurant every time. Of all the things in Chicago that I miss, restaurants have not been one of them, because Louisville has got a great food scene."
When they're not dining out, they also like to cook together. "It's a team effort," Dan said. "And, if the cooking is not a team effort, then the cleaning is."
This dynamic duo also shares an abiding love for IU basketball. And though Jackie claims that beyond that, the pair have very dissimilar interests – including Dan's love for Michigan football and Jackie's commitment to boot camp classes at the YMCA in Southern Indiana – one thing you'll always find the couple doing together is laughing.
"We laugh a lot," Jackie said. "You're pretty funny. I find you pretty entertaining," she said, smiling at Dan.
"I think you have to keep it kind of light for sure," Dan said. "But, I think communication is definitely the key. I think when you can be your silly self with somebody, that's a pretty good indicator that it's going to work. We get each other's senses of humor. I'm not sure everyone does but we do so that's good enough."
"Enjoy where you are," Jackie said. "I think it's human nature to always think what's next. Laugh a lot. Don't take yourself too seriously. And do get a dog because it's great entertainment."
"Don't forget to fight fair because it never ends well otherwise," Dan said with a laugh. "And don't forget that you are in a partnership and that it is work. I think you should put in more effort than you would expect to get out."

The Ballston Spa man who admitted to hitting and killing a teenager while she was walking along the road has been sentenced to several years in prison. Our Matt Hunter was in court for the sentencing and has more.
BALLSTON SPA, N.Y. -- It was an emotional day in Saratoga County Court, as Gavin Staulters, the man who last month admitted to driving drunk and killing a 14-year-old girl, appeared before a judge and learned his fate.
"She was 14, she wanted to have a singing career, she wanted to ride horses, she wanted to go to Skidmore and she just wanted to do everything and she won't get to do any of it," said Sarah Liedel, Kari Liedel's mother.
On the morning of July 7th, Kari Liedel seemingly had her whole life ahead of her. That same evening, she would tragically die on the side of a Saratoga County road.
"Nobody should go through this. It's senseless," said Sarah Liedel.
Last month, Gavin Staulters, 22, a former Air Force airman, pleaded guilty to second degree vehicular manslaughter for getting behind the wheel drunk before his car struck and killed Liedel, who was walking along West Milton Road.
On Wednesday in Saratoga County Court, he was sentenced to between two and six years in state prison.
"Six months ago my best friend's life was taken and today's the day he gets his punishment, but I don't think any punishment will ever be sufficient," said Heather Wright, Kari Liedel's friend.
"I think these sentences, in general, are woefully inadequate," James Murphy, (R) Saratoga County District Attorney.
Before Staulters learned his fate, Liedel's mother, Sarah, addressed the packed courtroom. She called Staulters' actions a "blatant disregard for human life" and said every time she drives down the street, all she sees is the driveway where her daughter lost her life.
"I hold my breath every time I drive by, you go quiet because, you know, it's right there," she said.
Staulters was immediately taken into custody. While he could serve the maximum sentence the law allows, Liedel's friends and family say they still feel robbed of justice.
"I feel as though he [Staulters] has remorse, but at the same time, there's not really anything he can say to make me believe he wouldn't go and do it again," said Kortni Liedel, Kari Liedel's sister.
"It's not an accident, it was a conscious decision and it's murder," said Sarah Liedel.
Staulters, who acknowledged he's seeking treatment for alcoholism, wept during Liedel's victim's impact statement. When he addressed the court himself, he apologized for his actions and said, "Not a day goes by I don't think about the accident...it makes me sick to my stomach."

Clarins was founded by Jacques Courtin-Clarins who opened his first beauty institute on the rue Tronchet in Paris in 1954. The company is known for making high quality beauty products made exclusively from plant extracts. It became the leading skin care leader in France in 1980. Clarins launched the first makeup line in 1991 and perfume widely loved and known by many, Angel by Thierry Mugler in 1992. Today, Clarins New Instant Sun Light Summer Make-Up Collection consists of Eye Quartet & Liner Palette, Instant Sun Light click & Gloss SPF 6, Instant Smooth Compact Highlighter, Delectable Self-Tanning Mousse SPF 15, Waterproof Eye Pencil, and Fix' Makeup. In the next 5 days, I will review several of these products for you focusing especially on the Limited Edition items.
The Eye Quartet and Liner Palette consists of four neutral shades and an eyeliner to create countless looks from sweet to sultry. The palette also contains a double-ended eye shadow applicator, an eyeliner brush, and a mirror for ease of application during travel. What I love most about Clarins is the company's attention to detail by including a nice leather pouch to cover the silver metallic palette casing. It's rather neat that I can use the top of the case as a mirror since I can see my reflection from it! This is a Limited Edition Palette retailing at $36USD.
When I opened the palette, I'm greeted with this super gorgeous flower design with gold veining on the petals. This is one of those products where the design is so pretty you just want to stare at it and not really use it to avoid messing up the patterns. From left to right on the top row, there is pearly ginger and iridescent cinnamon. On the bottom row, there is matte cocoa and sparkling paprika. Metallic nutmeg eyeliner is the stripe on the very right hand side.
Pearly ginger is a beige color that comes off almost white in the picture with shimmer. This is good for highlighting inner corners or the eye and brow bone.
Iridescent cinnamon is a shimmery medium brown that reminds me of MAC's Mulch but with a tint more red. It is a really pretty brown color.
Matte cocoa is a matte brown darker than iridescent cinnamon but applies very smooth for a matte. I had no issues getting the color in 1-2 swipes.
Sparkling paprika looks pink in the pan but swatches as a golden color.
Metallic nutmeg eyeliner is a beautiful reddish brown with golden shimmer liner that is very smooth to apply.
After swatching the colors, I couldn't resist and applied it onto my lids to see how the colors work for an everyday look with MAC's Fresco Rose as a base. I used the Pearly Ginger in the inner corner, sparkling paprika in the mid lid, Iridescent cinnamon in the outer 3rd of the lid with Matte cocoa in the crease, and Metallic nutmeg eyeliner to line the eyes.
Overall, I really love this palette and if you are a neutral color lover like me, I think you'll really like it as well. The colors are nicely pigmented, smooth, and just really beautiful. I'm generally not a fan of palettes because you get 1-2 colors that work but all the colors are wearable in Clarins Eye Quartet & Liner Palette. Since this is a limited edition item, I highly recommend checking out the palette at your local Clarins counters or online at Clarins under "Makeup -> New Collection".
What do you think of the palette? Would you check it out?

I'm from France and since a few months I'm going to this weekly Triratna Buddhist Community. Well I can't go every week but I go whenever I can.
I became intrested in Buddhism, when I started to learn about the practice of mindfullness and the fact that thoughts and emotions are nothing more than just thoughts and emotions. (simply put)
Realising that I don't have to run from my own fears or other uncomfortable feelings and that I can face them without any judgement, has been a real eye-opener.
I'm 21 now and recently I really started to realise how much I run away from myself.On days I don't have school or work, I get up, put some music on, sit behind the computer. I realise I don't have anything to do on the computer. Put the computer away, after a while start to feel uncomfortable, put some music on. After a while I put the computer back on and here we go again.
I'm not into gaming or other computer stuff, I like to learn so I read a lot on the computer. But in 6 or 12 months I'm moving out from my parents house and I'm preparing myself to a life without any computer, tv or other mind numbing stuff. I'm getting better at it, it used to be so hard for me but now I'm able to meditate for 20-30min in one session. And everyday I give myself this "1 hour no distraction-time" where I just meditate and do some form of yoga. Some days I do one 1-hour session and some days 2 or more. My goal is to increase it slowly.
At the Triratna Buddhist Community. I learned 3 different forms of meditation: The Bodyscan, Awareness of the Breathing and loving-kindness meditation. At home I usually do the first 2. I try to keep it as simple as possible.
Still, I have some question for you guys. The Triratna Buddhist Community I attend is in my humble opinion a good one, everyone seems nice and the teacher seems like a good person and down to earth. Also he keeps everything really simple which is good for me now.
The course I attend is an introduction course and we basically learn about one of the 3 meditation forms every week. It's free, but we can give dana if we want. Which is a sign of good intentions for me. After a few sessions we can attend the other Sangha, which is for the more experienced ones and is more Buddhism than the course I attend now. Now it's more about Mindfullness which is only a part of Buddhism.
So being intrested in also joining the other Sanga I started to read about the Triratna Buddhist Community yesterday and seems like it doesn't really have a good reputation especially his founder. It has made me a bit suspicious honestly. Can you guys give me some insight about this?

Zack's Weird Boxed Set Dream
I remember the following (I didn't read them, but someone was marking them off as they went):
1d20 (red)
1d20 (blue)
3d6 (red)
3d6 (blue)
5 Player Cards
24-page Referee (yes, Referee) guide
3 sheets paper minis and map
4-page Beginner's Adventure
16-page Veteran's Adventure (yes, Veteran's)
1 Box
No idea on where the page counts came from, or why there was no color for the d10s.
Then, we were giving them away as some promotion with a catalog. We were on a radio show as we went through a mall announcing it.
I sort of feel like the guy who wrote the poem "Kubla Khan". I just wish I knew what system it was.

Hmm, that is odd. Still, that's better than not having any dreams at all.
It would be interesting to know what system this is suppose to be for. From the contents, it seems to be for some sort one-shot evening game. After all you have player cards and no player's guide.

I think for many people, there's still an expectation and mystique surrounding the boxed set. It's a deeply-ingrained legacy of the hobby.
I also think it makes for an awesome gift/starter set.
- September 17, 2009 at 11:17 AM

Taking nothing for granted in the supposed system, we can't really assume what those players' cards are. Maybe they're plastic placards that you write on with dry-erase markers or grease pencils. It makes sense that the box doesn't include writing implements and spare paper.
Or the player cards are things that the DM writes on to keep notes on the characters.
Maybe the cards are character sheet blanks, and there are five varieties. This would make sense, as otherwise you're limited to five players at once. I'm thinking along the lines of the old goldenrod paper character sheets for 1E AD&D. Fighter/Ranger/Paladin, Thief/Bard/Monk/Assassin, Cleric/Druid, Magic-User/Illusionist. This suggests there are five archetypes, or five sets as the above, or perhaps only four with one general-purpose sheet.
A game will be shipped with rules for a standard type of play involved even if it's a multi-genre system. A game with no special features (like magic, technology, cyberspace, psionics, vehicle rules) will probably have one type of character who is the standard fighting type. Each other special feature of the system will likely have a character that specializes in it. From this we can conclude that your system is neither an archetype-free one nor is it one that contains more than three or four special features. Because without archetypes there would be no reason to have multiple varieties of player card, and with more than four special features in the system you'd need more varieties of card than five.
The difference in dice color seems important. As is the fact that the die colors are repeated for the d20 and the d6s. Note no color on the d10s.
You can roll a wide variety of tests using those dice. You can get 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, etc. And you can roll curves of 2-12, 3-18, 2-20, and 2-40. But you can't roll 1-8 without reference to a table, which I've found problematic in the past.
Also note the progression of die numbers vs. die sizes. 1/1 of the largest, 2 of the middle, 3/3 of the smallest. 2, 2, and 6 dice, 10 dice total.
It appears that the players are meant to share from a common pool of dice. Which means each player needs to have access to the entire supply of dice, and none of them are used for placeholders or markers. They must all be available to be rolled by the next player.
The short referee guide suggests a rules-light system. Perhaps something with ad hoc descriptors rather than lists of skills and spells and such. You could have a a character who is "Gunfighter 3", "Bar-Room Brawler 2", and "Popular With the Ladies 1". And the book just has to suggest guidelines for the referee against abuses with too-general descriptors. Like "Is Really Awesome 3".
I suggest this as a possibility because 24 pages isn't enough room to include lists of anything really. You're going to blow a whole page on an equipment /cost / weight list, and another page on a list of skills. Going that route you quickly run out of space for any actual rules.
Furthermore I think we can assume the referee book holds most of the rules for the game, and that individual adventures won't contain new rules. Sure one adventure might contain vehicular rules when the referee guide doesn't, but that just spreads the rules around multiple books. Not a smart design decision.
By "map" I assume it's a basic battlemap thing with a grid. Something setting-independent. But with such a simplified game I wonder - using a ruler would actually be easier than including grid rules. And by "sheets of paper minis" I assumed cut out flat top-down view minis. But they could have been ones you cut out, fold up, and glue to make stand-up game pieces.
In all, I could definitely see this game as a simple vehicular wargame, or a naval game, or some other type of strategy game. But it could also be a roleplaying game, who knows?
- September 17, 2009 at 12:18 PM
- Zachary The First said...
@1d30: Wow! You have given me a lot to digest here! Nice analysis! I find myself curious about the Player's Cards, too. Were they dry-erase character sheets, perhaps?
I think you're right on rule-light. 24 pages is a strange number, huh? I'd think one of the usual 4 multiples--16, 32, 64, etc...
I have any more dreams like this, I'm going to you first! :)

@da Trux: Thanks! I think the commenters make up a lot of what makes this blog work—I firmly believe that, and that's why I do things like the Friday Discussion. A lot of times, I'll have a basic idea, but the comments are what fleshes it out. The blog is a partnership in a lot of ways, I think.
Yes, I am on the Palladium forums. I don't post too often there these days, but do pop in time to time to see what's going on.

? The red dice are rolled offensively; the blue dice are rolled defensively. The d10 is random factors.
- September 17, 2009 at 4:48 PM
- Zachary The First said...
Could be. I thought the red were perhaps GM dice, the blue player dice, and the black dice shared. But that's an interesting idea, as well!
- September 17, 2009 at 5:35 PM
You didn't mention the d10s were black! :P
I like Narf's idea. If there's two die colors, it means they're used for something with only two possible options. For example, if your system had you roll for Quality, Speed, and Cost you'd need three colors.
Another possibility is that the game uses dice pools. You roll some dice for your base skill and some dice for your pool. And the rules make it important to note which dice were which. Maybe if you roll a complete failure on your skill, the pool can't help you.

Xplora wrote:I reckon it's unarguable that if the process to develop the law is flawed, then it certainly is grounds for abolition particularly when background data isn't available to show this is a really big improvement to our nation. The huge numbers of cyclists in other cities and countries around the world show that it is a good idea to have as many riders as possible, if only for green reasons. I don't care about the green angle much (born to a family of 3rd generation mechanics) but it is a good reason, internationally, to maximise bike use. There is enough steel in an engine block to make 6 bikes, but no petrol is required to move those bikes once created LOL
As I think I've said before, geting a government to accept that cycling, or active transport generally, is a policy objective worth pushing is the hard part. I don't know if, once I got them to swallow that particular camel, I'd lose too much sleep over whether they strain at the gnat of MHL repeal, myself. So to speak.
Xplora wrote:I think a dirty little secret on the MHL Is that it shows how the slippery slope occurs in public policy. An ill considered lie is presented and accepted, and once the law is changed the landscape changes so much that the possibility of return is impossible without a very long hard slog. This is definitely beyond the cyclist lobby right now.
Yes, changing the status quo is hard. Nothing new there. What lie are you talking about anyway? Would Hanlon's Razor perhaps do the job?
Xplora wrote:The rules around nuclear waste and open cut mining are similar - once you start a major open cut mine, you can't go back. That mine is there forever in human terms. The nuclear waste is likely to outlast human evolution (let alone civilisation itself). You have to be very conservative when considering the impacts of these decisions. We have to look at 20 years of MHL and realise that nothing has improved for riders, cycling, congestion and general wellbeing as a result of the law. We aren't as cyclist friendly as any European nation despite being flatter, better climate, more outdoorsy culture, etc.
MHLs are not the only reason for this, not even the main reason if you ask me. And the analogy with nuclear waste is perhaps the wierdest non sequitur of this whole thread. I can't be bothered reading through the whole thing to make sure, but it's right up there.
Xplora wrote:If the evidence doesn't heavily weigh in favour of the law, then it stands that abolition is easier than enforcement.
That's not how it's done, like it or not. Is there evidence, actual empirical evidence, supporting Mandatory Bell Laws? I doubt anyone's bothered looking, but there it is, to name but one example. There's a good reason for that too: that sort of evidence is difficult to obtain. Now, if you want to argue that MHLs by their nature demand this sort of proof where other laws don't, by all means give it a red-hot go, but you'll have to actually make that case. As a general proposition, it doesn't hold water.

With four rounds of questions ranging from famous movie racing scenes to prominent Mormons, houses were head to head for the majority of the competition. However, DPhi overtook the competition with 60 points, allowing them to win their first Greek points of the year. Theta came in second with 56 points followed by a close third from AEPi with 55 points.

In a career that spans over five decades, Jack Anderson has earned a reputation as one of the most respected and accomplished investigative journalists in America.
In this remarkable program, Anderson details his close relationship with John F. Kennedy and tells of his belief that the Mafia was involved in his assassination. Anderson's theory of Mob involvement in JFK's death is bolstered by his close contacts with important Mob bosses in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, and his revelations of organized crime's relationships with Castro, Cuba, and the CIA.
Extensive footage documents the relationships that Anderson claims were at the heart of the tragedy, and interviews with former Anderson sources shed light on the theory. Revisit the discoveries that led Anderson to the troubling conclusion that has been embraced by conspiracy theorists worldwide, and see how others have worked to further the investigation. And in a rare interview, director Oliver Stone tells how Anderson's work influenced his Academy-Award winning JFK.
