National Interreligious Service Board for Conscientious Objectors
Friends' Peace Witness in a Time of Crisis
The physical conference was a gathering of over 200 participants from 28 Yearly Meetings/Associations. There were 17 workshops, 22 plenary panelists, a score of interest groups, and 18 home groups. It was the first time in 30 years that there has been a called gathering to Listen around a testimony.
While there were international participants, the clear focus was upon the condition of the United States. It is the spirit of this nation that has shifted. It is the US that has declared a perpetual war as a seemingly permanent style of leadership. It is the United States' policies that are causing suffering and consternation worldwide. And thus we were gathering to have a true understanding of our condition and seek God's guidance for Way Forward.
To my eyes, the gathering moved on two levels that informed and shaped our Leadings-the conceptual and the experiential.
On the conceptual level, key concepts gave us common framework and language. Peace was no thin discussion of no-war-in-Iraq. It was a full and dynamic space of Life and Power that was fully attentive to the roots, the seeds, the fruit of Shalom/the wholeness and well being of all. The parable of the Good Samaritan became the language for talking together about the paradoxical demands of peace and justice. We were made aware that in being peacemakers, we can become the Pharisee who walk a wide berth around the wounded while they are still being beat upon. Or worse yet, our lives and choices may actually be digging the ditch and abetting the assaults. The Lamb's War became the metaphor to frame our vigorous assault against the powers of destruction with weapons of Light, Love, Trust, Confession/repentance/restitution, Simplicity, Community. Despite our theological diversity, we moved in a sense of unity around the privilege and responsibilities of being faithful to God who invites us to join the transformative/redemptive Gospel Order in the midst of darkness.
On the experiential level, there were discernable movements that moved like waves. The first motions were a sense of relief that at last we were gathered in shared discernment and community. A common recognition of the true severity of our national sins. An air of expectancy that God would Lead.
The second motion that washed over us was fear. Fear of what faithfulness might be asking of each of us. Fear of our inadequacies for the tasks-both individually and Quakers as a whole. Fear that we wouldn't be able to discern the movement of God and leave with only hand wringing and empty talk. The third motion was a shift from pieties to practicalities. We let ourselves embrace the paradoxes. Peace and Justice. Peacemaking as process as well as result. Renewed intentionality toward families, Meetings, neighbors, communities while still working for systemic changes. Life style needs in light of economic and environmental shalom. The fourth motion rose like bubbles as water starts to boil. An individual opening here and there. A catalyzing worship message. An interest group on celebration. Then a consciousness shift from fear to good news. Good news of the amazing invitation to join God's heart in peacemaking. Good news of grace and enough-ness upon people who know themselves to be clumsy and inadequate. Radiant lived-through testimonies of joy in the midst of suffering. The Yesness of God's Spirit rose transforming the landscape of the crises-altering our attentions and intentions.
The conceptual and experiential flows converged-and there was a sense of God's invitation forward.
A challenge was issued to have one person from each North American Meeting/Church be liberated for short or long term service of Friends Peace Witness, e.g. Friends Peace Team, Christian Peacemaker Teams. Forward to Listen for Leadings. Test them in community. Get busy being faithful.
We parted, not with Minutes, epistles and papers, but as changed people. We parted with a joined intentionality to step forward with an urgency commensurate with the dangers of these times.

When you reach the top of mountains and other such things, you might feel as though you are on top of the world.
However, this discipline is hugely technical, particularly when you attempt the more demanding routes. Therefore, it is crucial that you have access to the perfect climbing equipment. Here at e-outdoor we specialise in offerings of this nature and may have the perfect ones for you.

Crime Prevention Tip of the Month
Traffic Tip of the Month
Do you have an internship program?
How can I volunteer for the LAPD?
What LAPD programs are available for teenagers?
Vandalism Costs
Schools pay out millions of dollars each year to clean up graffiti, repair buildings, or replace vandalized equipment. That means less money for new books, computers, sports equipment, and student activities.
Local governments (and their taxpayers) pay the bills for broken street lights, stolen signs, and vandalized parks.
Businesses pass the costs of vandalism on to customers through higher prices.
Vandalism Hurts
People feel angry, sad, and frightened when something of theirs -- a mailbox, a garden, a car antenna -- is destroyed for no reason.
Vandalism indirectly claims other victims -- a child is injured because a stop sign was stolen, a person can't reach 9-1-1 because the public phone is broken.
Who and Why?
Most vandals are young people -- from grade schoolers to teens to young adults -- who damage property for one or more of the following reasons:
Graffiti is often the first sign that gangs are taking over a neighborhood. Gangs use graffiti as their street "telegraph," sending messages about turf and advertising their exploits. Graffiti identifies territorial boundaries, lists members, and communicates with rival gangs. The gang says "This place belongs to us."
A community's first step in taking back its streets from gangs is getting rid of graffiti immediately. This power struggle can't be won overnight, but persistent communities working in partnership with law enforcement almost always emerge as victors. Once the graffiti is gone, use landscape designs (such as prickly shrubs or closely planted hedges), building materials (such as hard-to-mark surfaces), lighting, or fences to discourage vandalism.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Pan Pacific Kuala Lumpur International Airport Hotel
Nice hotel for travel transfersfrom jmalzone
The rooms leave a little to be desired and the bed is hard as a rock. However, it serves its purpose being so close to the airport. In addition, the work out room is nice and there is a lovely pool and tennis courts so you can get in a little exercise before your long flight home.
Great convenient hotelfrom kohkoh
We stayed this hotel for one night enroute to Hong Kong. You can walk to this hotel from KL Airport or they have little buggy to ferry you to the reception. When we arrived we did not see any buggies at the airport so we decided to walk. It is not very far and a good excuse to stretch the legs after an 8 hour flight from Sydney. Check in was smooth and efficient and we were upgraded to a suite which was large and comfortably furnished.
Our one only complaint is that the mattress was very hard, which we find common in a lot of Asian hotels.
Room service was prompt. We spent a quiet night and checked out next morning to catch our flight to HK.
On our return to Australia I received an email from the General Manager asking me to complete a survey. I did so and received a prompt reply apologising about the mattress and promising to update my profile so a softer one would be provided next time.
I can definitely recommend this hotel.
ll be back.from DNR
Very goodfrom Mel_S_UK
This is an excellent place to rest after a flight. We enjoyed our stay here and are now tempted to come back to Malaysia for a longer stay.
Fantasticfrom rosiepet
Loved this hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
We would highly recommended this hotel and it is excellent value for money
good for weary travellersfrom MrsMcNeill
Top Notch, elegant, convenient + good valuefrom Pleiadestemplej
In contrast to other reviewers, not once did the 'golf' buggy drivers try to sell us anything. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially at the poolside + gym. All facilities were clean and modern, well-maintained and good quality.
Caveats include the strange unevenness of some of the corridor floors near the gym/pool area which might trip a few people up.
Apart from that, and the inadequate Internet room, we would recommed this hotel unreservedly - it's one of those that you could seriously consider living in!
Handy for tired travellersfrom A TripAdvisor Member
No problems booking in, we had paid in advance for $88/night and were glad we had as the walk-in rate was $200/night. Room was nicely furnished, clean, bathroom had a tub and shower, good toiletries. Bed was hard but I slept like a baby. Room was very quiet.
Ordered room service it came very nicely presented, wasn't amazing food but edible. Expensive for Malaysia but what do you expect? Can get the buggy service over to the airport for cheaper beer/food if you want!
Would definately stay here again if had a short stop-over in KL. Prefered it to the Concorde Inn, but then that was half the price and you usually get what you pay for...
Mediocre !from Stena
Top Local Tips for Kuala Lumpur
KLIA and LCC terminals From KLIA, the express train is the way to go and on arrival at KL Sentral, if you have lot's of luggage, catch a taxi, and watch the meter. If you have only a bag or two you can either go by rail, bus or taxi to your hotel (though rail is less straightforward). From the LCC terminal (Air Asia) catch a Skybus to KL Sentral. You will be asked when you get there whether you want a bus or taxi. I caught the bus and was at my hotel in a jiffy. I found buses virtually emply. Taxis are cheap, but drivers tend to maximise the time spent getting to your destination, and trains can be crowded, with steps to climb, and the risk of pickpockets.
avoid the taxi's they are all rip off merchants - catch the train or get your conceirge to negotiate a price
Good cheap food You can get some great food from the food garden in the airport, just where the Pan Pacific golf cart pick up/drop off is, at incredibly cheap prices. This is a perfect alternative to having to eat from the overpriced hotel restaurant.

ljubas said this on November 21, 2009:
Excellent tires for beginners, very similar to Sriver FX.
Josué said this on June 2, 2012:
It is a very good rubbers to start in table tennis because helps you to learn the spins theory, and gives you a lot of feeling, it has a superv control and its not fast, that helps you try without fear.
jhuang5555 said this on July 8, 2012:
I am dissapointed with this rubber maybe because I use it for my BH. I think this rubber is too soft and doesn't have enough elasticity to counter hit or counter loop.
I am able to use this rubber for good return of service with my BH against average rubbers like shriver or Donic Coppa, but if someone uses rubber like Tenergy for long serve to you, then this rubber really lacks of the power to counter attack back as it's too soft or weak.
I will try to use it for FH instead, but I think it also lacks of the power for counter looping in the mid distance from the table. Overall, I think this rubber is too soft to counter especially not for BH.
tomnet said this on August 28, 2013:
similar to the normal vario. a bit softer slower, more control and same spin.

Go back into the history of grand prix racing, and the only green you'd expect to see was the color of a British racing car and the vast quantity of cash injected into the sport. But today, Formula One is different scene, thanks in no small part to a push by the FIA for a more environmentally friendly form of motorsport. Just take a look at the on-again, off-again implementation of regenerative braking and the limitation on everything from fuel to tires.
That push is set to take a big step forward (or backward, depending on who you're talking to) when the current high-revving V8 engines are replaced by 1.6-liter turbo sixes in 2014. But that's not the end of the changes. The FIA has just published further modifications to the regulations, which will now include the necessity for F1 cars to run entirely on electric power for the entire time they're in the pit lane.
According to Rule 5.19 of the revised technical regulations (which you can find in PDF form here), "The car must be run in electric mode (no ignition and no fuel supply to the engine) at all times when being driven in the pit lane." The new rules, which come into effect together with the new engines in 2014, also mandate the inclusion of on-board ignition (as opposed to the external starter motors used currently).
In order to accommodate electric-only propulsion in and out of pit lane, the new Energy Recovery Systems have been increased in capacity to 120 kW, and theywill also be allowed to recapture energy from exhaust fumes as well. Unfortunately, that also means waving goodbye to the high-pitched whine of the engine holding at the pit-lane rev limiter every time it goes in for fresh rubber, but as they'd say at FIA headquarters in France, c'est la vie.

If you get very few or no eggs then I recommend 100mg/day once in the morning.

Chronic use of any opiate, including Suboxone, has the potential for negative effects on

Book info:
Town of Mirrors: The Reassembled Imagery of Robert Pollard
The visual art of Robert Pollard is uncanny, moving, strange, and it summons a dark melancholy at the same time; an austere beauty is forged in what is degraded and worthless in the image repertoire of culture itself. – RICK MOODY, from his introductionDownload the press release: Microsoft Word (684 KB), PDF (456 KB)

text: Suzy Bogguss' debut, Somewhere Between, was perfect testimony that country albums could aim their sights toward commercial radio and still concern themselves with matters of integrity. The songs on the follow-up, Moment of Truth, aren't quite as gritty, but Bogguss remains a revelation, a singer of remarkable clarity, poise, and intonation, with the additional gift of sure emotional directness. On the torchy blues of ''Burning Down,'' the ballad ''As If I Didn't Know,'' and the sensual ''Friend of Mine,'' Bogguss displays an especially authoritative presence, and a promise to develop into one of country's brightest stars.

One of the things we really like about this part of the world are the rivers. Many of them are big, wide and slow flowing, and the rest are just slow flowing. Every single one is a lazy river. The Loire itself is a very shallow, wide river to cross, running across a plain, but in places along its valley the Vienne river runs deep.
The Claise river doesn't run deep, nor is it wide, but it is our river and when we go to the river there is always something to see. If we are really lucky we will see a kingfisher dive in the river, but more often it's a coot paddling along the edges.
All these rivers can sometimes lead to confusion, not a good thing when a bloke is supposed to know his way around. We have had the occasional discussion about the name of the river we are approaching, or what river a certain town is on.
Because of this I have prepared myself a map.
Except that those particularly perceptive amongst you will have noticed it isn't actually a proper map, but a schematic map in the tradition of Harry Beck. True to the spirit of Harry Beck, the geographical relationship of places isn't an issue, the importance lying simply in which order places occur.
These aren't all of the tributories of the Loire River - in fact they aren't necessarily even the most important tributories. It is a fully personalised schematic showing the rivers (and the towns on them) that are important to us.

Brilliant, Simon, with Harry Beck's inspired original work put ingeniously to yet one more situation. I'm very envious that you thought of it.
Should it be on the counter at all Indre et Loire Tourist Offices!
Glad to see also that the proper green line has been allocated to the Claise.

John and Jean. Ie too wish you had thought of it. It would have saved me three days :)
John I was thinking of doing something punning and satirical with the river colours, but "our" river did have to be the District line colours, and purely by coincidence the Sarthe ended up black. I suppose the Loire should have been red (Central), but after that I ran out of ideas.
HAs anyone noticed how stilted my writing was this morning? There is a reason (or 6) for it

Simon, please add the branch line from Le Grand-Pressigny for the Aigronne... Petit-Pressigny, Charnizay and Obterre!
Superb Idea! And without comparing yo used London Transport font too?!
- February 20, 2011 1:13 pm
- Simon said...
Tim: I was going to put in the Aigronne, but I just didnt have room to do so and leave Preuilly sur Claise as the centre of the system (it happened to fall there by chance, which I took to be an omen, so I left it there!)
Font is Gill Sans - as London Transport use. One of my favorite fonts. (Or does having a favorite font mark me out as a bit of a saddo?)
Clue. 1 is Peter Cliff.
- February 20, 2011 2:00 pm
- Tim said...
t'Aigronne is a very important river around here, dontchaknow!
Actually, you could do a 'commercial' version by moving the Loire further north on the bend to Blois to give space... and lengthen the Loire vertically [and shorten it a tad horizontally] to both give room to stretch the picture vertically and add the Aigronne and the missing wine town... Sancerre!!
You should be able to sell the result in all the local tourist hotspots.
Ps.. The LT use a variant on Gill Sans [the y's curve to the right at the bottom]

Chocolate-covered Candy Eggs
.... submitted by rcoen
Source: Woman's Day Magazine
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips OR white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon solid vegetable shortening
Colored sugar
Tubes of decorating icing
Candy confetti dots
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Beat butter and cream cheese in
medium bowl with mixer at med. speed until well blended. Gradually add
confectioners' sugar and vanilla, beating until smooth. Mixture will be
stiff. Roll 2 level tablespoonfuls between hands into egg shapes. Place
on lined cookie sheet and refrigerate 1 hour or until cold and very firm.
Meanwhile melt chocolate in a deep bowl or saucepan as directed on
package. Stir in shortening until well blended. Let stand at room
temperature 15 minutes. For coating the eggs chocolate should be warm
(86-90 degrees F.), not hot. Set 1 egg on a fork, hold over chocolate and
spoon chocolate over egg to coat. Gently, with a small spatula, push egg
off fork onto lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining eggs, reheating
chocolate if it cools and gets too thick. Before the chocolate sets,
sprinkle eggs with colored sugar, or press on confetti dots, candy leaves
or flowers. Or let chocolate dry and pipe flowers and leaves on chocolate
with tubes of icing. Refrigerate.

Review of the 2008 Nissan Armada
If you're going to utilize its strengths, the 2008 Nissan Armada is an excellent choice for a full-size SUV. Otherwise, some competing vehicles might serve you better.
- Safety
Powerful V8 performance, plenty of room in all three rows, fold-flat third-row seat, very capable in towing and off-road situations.
Still some subpar interior materials, less cargo space than competitors, poor fuel economy, less than ideal ride quality.
What's New for 2008
The 2008 Nissan Armada gets a number of updates, including a new grille and headlights, a restyled cabin with a more luxurious ambiance, and a number of high-tech features. The latter include keyless starting, Bluetooth capability and a navigation system with a hard drive that allows 9GB of storage for music files.Read full review of the 2008 Nissan Armada
Full 2008 Nissan Armada Review
What's New for 2008
The 2008 Nissan Armada gets a number of updates, including a new grille and headlights, a restyled cabin with a more luxurious ambiance, and a number of high-tech features. The latter include keyless starting, Bluetooth capability and a navigation system with a hard drive that allows 9GB of storage for music files.
Looking to capitalize on America's love of super-sized SUVs, Nissan introduced its burly Armada four years ago to battle the popular domestic stalwarts. With its powerful V8 engine, roomy cabin and generous towing capacity, the Armada won over plenty of fans. We were not, however, fans of its cabin d�cor, which consisted of too many square feet of hard plastic panels.
Thankfully, the 2008 Nissan Armada sees some improvement in this area. A newly sculpted dash features a 7-inch color display, while more soft-touch material and wood-tone accents (in the LE trim) add inviting warmth. These accoutrements are more in keeping with the Armada's emphasis on passenger comfort, as its first- and second-row legroom beats rivals such as the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition and Toyota Sequoia. Only the Ford has more third-row room thanks to its lower floor, but it falls behind the Armada in off-road capability.
Strong performance is afforded by the Armada's 5.6-liter, 317-horsepower V8. In addition to brisk acceleration around town and prodigious passing power, the 5.6 allows a 9,100-pound tow rating. We've driven the Armada with and without a trailer and were very impressed by its stamina when hitched up.
Certainly, the 2008 Nissan Armada is roomy and capable whether towing a heavy trailer or getting the whole family to a campsite, and it remains a good choice for those who plan on making the most of its capacities. But unless you regularly haul around trailers the size of a condo or chauffeur your kid's little league team, you may want to consider the Armada's competitors. Rivals such as the Chevrolet Tahoe are more manageable in tight spaces, offer more comfortable seats, have higher-grade cabin materials and provide a better overall ride quality.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2008 Nissan Armada is a large SUV that's offered in SE and LE trim levels. The SE is the base trim and comes with seating for eight, 18-inch alloy wheels, full power accessories, a power driver seat, dual-zone climate control (with controls for the front and rear), an eight-speaker sound system with a CD changer and an MP3 input jack, power-adjustable pedals and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Step up to the LE and you get 20-inch alloy wheels, keyless starting, a power liftgate, a rearview monitor, leather upholstery, heated front seats (with power adjustments for the front passenger and memory settings for the driver), second-row captain's chairs and an upgraded 265-watt, 10-speaker Bose sound system with satellite radio.
Many of the LE's features are available as options on the SE. Other options, depending on the trim, include second-row captain's chairs (dropping seating capacity to seven), a power-fold feature for the third-row seat, Bluetooth connectivity, auto-dimming side mirrors, a new navigation system that can also store digital music on its 9.3GB hard drive, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, satellite radio and a sunroof.
Powertrains and Performance
Powering all 2008 Nissan Armadas is a 5.6-liter V8 that pumps out 317 hp and 385 pound-feet of torque, and a flexible-fuel version is available. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard, and both trims are available with two- or four-wheel drive. With either drive setup, fuel economy is below average for a large SUV. EPA estimates for 2008 4WD models are 13 mpg city/18 mpg highway. At least the Armada provides plenty of towing capacity; properly equipped, it can lug 9,100 pounds.
Antilock disc brakes (with brake assist), stability control, front-seat active head restraints, rear parking sensors and side curtain airbags that protect all three rows of passengers are standard on all Armadas. Front-seat side airbags are optional on the SE and standard on the LE. In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration frontal-impact crash tests, the 2008 Nissan Armada scored four stars for driver protection and a perfect five stars for passenger protection.
Interior Design and Special Features
Responding to sharp criticism about the Armada's abundant plastic cabin trim, Nissan stepped up its efforts in this area for 2008. A redesigned dash and door panels feature more soft-touch material and wood-tone accents. Although it's much more inviting than before, the Armada's interior still lags behind the solidly executed examples set by General Motors in its Tahoe and Yukon utes. There are plenty of storage cubbies all about, even overhead, making life easier on long trips with the kiddies.
Thanks to three-passenger benches in both the second and third row, both trim levels of the Armada seat eight. If you check off the no-cost option for second-row captain's chairs in the LE, your Armada will seat seven. Those second and third rows are split and easy to fold flat, allowing one to optimize most any combination of people and cargo. Folks who frequently purchase 10-pound boxes of cereal and 100-roll packages of toilet paper should know that with both rows folded down, maximum cargo capacity stands at 97 cubic feet, which rates about 10 cubes less than the Armada's domestic rivals.
Driving Impressions
While the powerful V8 makes the 2008 Nissan Armada feel light on its feet when accelerating off the line and on the highway, the massive girth of this truck is obvious when cornering or coming to an abrupt stop. Ride quality is generally smooth and comfortable, though larger pavement imperfections can send quite a jolt through the steering wheel and cabin. Parking a vehicle this large in crowded city streets and parking lots can be a hassle, though opting for the rear camera somewhat eases the process.

A West Haven Student Obsessively Pursues Game-Show Success
He once camped out on a Hollywood sidewalk for three days to be first in line. He traveled to New York City seven freakin' times over two years to take tests before he was finally chosen for his next mass-media adventure. His friends think he's crazy, "but not necessarily in a negative way."
His name is Christian Carrion. He's 24, lives in West Haven, and may well be Connecticut's premier Game Show Geek.
Since 2007, Carrion has been a contestant on four different national and cable TV game shows and has just tried out for his fifth.
"I grew up watching game shows with my mom," he says, acknowledging that what began as a simple way to pass the time turned from "a hobby, to a passion, to an obsession."
Carrion is now a senior at Southern Connecticut State University and his major is (surprise, surprise) broadcast journalism.
"My lifelong dream is to be a game-show host," he says, his voice rising with excitement at the very idea. "I just love that energy of being on the air."
His game-show mania began to peak around his 18th birthday. That was when his parents bought him the air fare to Los Angeles so he could attend a taping of "The Price Is Right" just before longtime host Bob Barker was to retire.
That was the time he spent three days on a sidewalk to make sure he was among the first 300 people in line. That's apparently all the show lets in for each taping. Carrion's recollection is that something like 1,500 crazed game-show freaks showed up for that performance, but his fanatical persistence paid off big-time: he was the first person let in.
Which also meant he was the first member of the audience to get a tiny pre-show interview. "I guess it went well," he recalls, "because they called me down right at the start of the show."
It was only the beginning of what Carrion now likes to refer to as his career as a "professional game-show contestant."
The 2007 "Price Is Right" show (it aired that May) was followed by an appearance in 2010 on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." But the second time around didn't prove to be that easy.
"I tried for two years to get on that show," he says, explaining that he took the written exam (30 questions) and did the mini-audition interviews seven different times in New York City. They finally called him down to do the show, which he taped in October 2009, and his performance included a few Kung Fu moves that apparently took host Meredith Vieira a bit by surprise.
Carrion had lots of fun, but unfortunately didn't become a millionaire.
His next target was MTV2's "Hip Hop Squares," an updated version of the old "Hollywood Squares." Carrion made his appearance on that show in May 2012. He followed it up with a spot on the Game Show Network's "The Chase," a trivia contest in which teams of three people are pitted against a trivia kingpin named Mark "the Beast" Labbett.
Labbett is a 6-foot-6-inch trivia-champion behemoth who apparently hardly ever loses. Carrion says his team ("I did great; my teammates not so great") was doing fine up until the final round, which Labbett won, and that meant neither Carrion nor the others on his team got any money at all.
"The Chase" was taped on Aug. 13 and hasn't yet been aired.
Carrion says he doesn't really have a strategy for getting picked from all the other fan folks who want to become game-show players. Well, there is that crazed persistence of his.
"The more shows I get on, I kind of like build up a resume," he says, and that may influence the people doing the selections. He says they may simply figure that, if he's done well on another show, he'd do well on theirs.
"My excitement comes naturally," he says of the wild enthusiasm that seems to be a bottom-line requirement for people on these game shows.
Carrion admits that he's gotten plenty of ribbing from friends and acquaintances. "A lot of the time I am 'the Game Show Geek,'" he says. "It's a good thing, I don't mind it."
And Carrion is far from done.
He recently had a tryout for NBC's new "Million Second Quiz" show and believes the audition went well.
"So here's hoping," says Connecticut's top Game Show Geek.

SUGAR HILL -- Late-night hijinks on a city-owned golf course in Sugar Hill could cost two beer-swilling teens thousands of dollars for repairs, officials said Tuesday.
Suwanee residents Cameron Brothers, 18, and James Cardwell, 19, are accused of taking a four-wheeler on a midnight joyride at the Sugar Hill Golf Club on July 4, ripping through sand bunkers, doing "donuts" on greens, laying tracks across the course and plowing a costly sprinkler system, according to police.
Police traced the ATV's tracks into woods, along a trail and to a house about a half-mile away, where both teens were arrested early the next morning and charged with criminal damage to property in the second degree, a felony, and possession of alcohol by a minor. They have since been freed from the Gwinnett County Jail on $1,900 bond each.
Sugar Hill City Clerk Jane Whittington said Tuesday the vandalism is having a lasting impact at the course.
The city has had to consult with outside vendors to fix the computer-controlled irrigation boxes that were ruined. Whittington expects the final cost of damages will land between $10,000 and $15,000.
"As soon as we get our quotes in, we will be fixing (the irrigation system) immediately," she said. "It's very hot outside."
Once confronted by police, Brothers and Cardwell admitted to causing the damage and repeatedly offered to pay for it, according to police reports.
Police reportedly found telltale Natural Light beer cans at the course, on the trail and at the home where the teens were staying.
Both suspects reeked of booze when confronted by police about 5 a.m., a report states.
"(The suspects) said they had been drinking alcohol during the night and were extremely intoxicated when they were causing the damage," one officer wrote.

Idiots!! The city needs to sue them for the full amount of damage, and if they dont pay, then sit in jail and rot.

The city will never recover that money.

I bet they had parents who encouraged and enabled them to be 'free spirits" while ignoring the fact they would one day get into trouble for not respecting the other people and their property.
FordGalaxy 2 years, 5 months ago
It wasn't too long ago that I was 18 and 19 years old, and I don't remember ever finding it fun to willfully destroy the property of someone else. Granted it may have soemthing to do with how I was raised...
Dubbin 2 years, 5 months ago
It is within the perview of the judge who hears the case to make these two pay up - restitution for property damage is considered a part of sentencing for any crime. The reason criminals get away with so much in our society is because of judges who keep letting them walk away with a slap on the wrist.
chasmcjr 2 years, 5 months ago
yea, yea yea.... I know but you can't get blood from a turnip... Restitution is ordered but the reality of the matter is the jails are bursting at the seams already and most judges won't put an teenager in jail just for not being able to pay that much restitution. Unless Mama and Daddy chip in, it will take years and years (if ever) before the city gets reimbursed through the court system.

I believe it's not a parenting issue. 18 year-old in today's society believe they are ten-feet-tall-and-bulletproof, regardless of how they are raised (most of the time; but there ARE exceptions). They simply don't think of the ramifications of their actions until they learn first-hand what they have to deal with after they break something.
I know one of the parents of one of the boys, and I know they didn't raise their son to be a "free spirit". Also, I don't condone what he did and does indeed need to be held accountable and be responsible for his actions; I just don't blame his parents like many others of you out there. How many of your own children do exactly what you tell them to do, to the letter? Now, make that child an 18 year-old who believes he should now be an adult and is therefore free to make his own decisions. Is his actions still his parent's fault? I say no.

First, they should be ordered to get their sorry butts to the course and fix the damage. Then pay for it, which I doubt they could because they were drinking Natural light. At this time they have payed $190 each to get out of jail. Both are really a couple of loosers.
CD 2 years, 5 months ago
Where's Winegarden when you need him? I think a little abuse by the judicial may be warranted here.
Gundoctor1 2 years, 5 months ago
Ford Galaxy is exactly right. One exception.
It was a very long time ago when I was 18 - 19, and my friends and I did some very stupid things, but destroying property was not one of them. What in the world is up with these kids?? I can tell you in very few words. They are not held accountable, and they know they will not be. Well, hopefully these two will get a judge like me that will hold them accountable in a very harsh way. Not only would they pay to repair the damage, they will be out there working as the damage gets repaired.
I bet when these young thugs grow up and have kids,theirs will not repeat this if the lesson is ingrained in these two right now. Stop coddling these kids and hold them responsible.
kevin 2 years, 5 months ago
Why aren't the owners also suing these kids/family for the lost revenues. You just don't pat down a golf course and think you can play on it right after. Just two smart a** kids that think they are too rich and famous to obey the law or act like human beings instead of big-shot jerks. Like other no-brainers, they look to blame someone or something else for their actions. I'll bet you anything that their parents will be making some under-the-table donations to the judge.

I'm sure there will be a lawsuit at some point, but today is Thursday and this happened Tuesday. Takes a little bit to get police reports, estimates, lawyers.

SUGAR HILL -- Late-night hijinks on a "CITY OWNED" golf course in Sugar Hill could cost two beer-swilling teens thousands of dollars for repairs, officials said Tuesday.
So I guess the residents can determine if it was a good idea to be responsible for this site in the first place?
Bob44 2 years, 5 months ago
Do people READ before posting comments? I don't believe you can sue the family of an 18 year old for damages, can you? If so, then I need to file suit against my neighbor's entire family because his 23 y/o son just accidentally hit my garbage can while backing out of his driveway.
Why is everyone so eager to blame it all on the families? I guess socialism runs deep in their mentalities; I bet they approve of the Obama healthcare reform, too. Just hold the entire family accountable for the actions of one. Sheesh!
kevin 2 years, 5 months ago
so tell us how the golf club will get all the money they lost? Print it, like our government? A family should be able to control their brats. I guess if someone tried to stop what they did and shot one, you would want to put the shooter in jail also.
SickandTired 2 years, 5 months ago
these two losers were obviously staying at a friends home so where was the adult supervision in the house they were staying at? How come the adults of that home weren't arrested for providing alcohol to minors. this just happened in May with the North Gwinnett HS party where 13 kids got arrested and the boy's parents were arrested even tho they were sleeping while the party was going on (yeah right I believe that one!). They were so $^*tfaced so they took a 4 wheeler, went 1/2 mile through the woods and destroyed our golf course! Any takers on a bet that drinking alcohol wasn't all they were doing???? Morons.
timkenyon 2 years, 5 months ago
You did read in the article that these guys are 18 and 19 years old, right? What other adult supervision would you expect for an 18 and 19 year old?
Morons they are, yes. But technically, they ARE adults. Stupid and immature ones, but adults nonetheless and unfurtunately being stupid and immature is not illegal.
bnhwillard 2 years, 5 months ago
Make fixing the course their work detail. They stay in jail until its finished, and they are out there every day sweating to put it right again. Obviously they don't have the skills to fix it themselves, but they can at least serve a good part of the manual labor.
SickandTired 2 years, 5 months ago
@timkenyon...Sorry but I have a 19 y/o son who lives in my house. I damn guarantee you that he and his friends don't get $^*tfaced in my home. LEGAL drinking age is 21. These two morons clearly weren't in their own homes. Let's say that night they got in a car and drove down Suwanee Dam Rd. got into an accident and killed someone. Whoever provided the alcohol would be legally responsible for these two jackholes getting drunk. So yes you are right but only in the sense that they are technically adults but not legal to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages.
timkenyon 2 years, 5 months ago
Were the homeowners home at the time? If not, how would they control their idiot son? Who bought the alcohol? Were they living on one of their parents homes or what? I agree that they need to be punished severely and made to pay. I'm just saying that some folks on here are acting as if these were a couple of minors who should have had parental control over a sleepover and that just does not compute. I agree, if it was my home, there would not have been any such activity going on at all. IF I had knowledge and control. But if I was out of town, gone for the weekend and I had a stupid offspring that would do something like this, how could I stop it if I was not there?

Why don't u go find something else to b!*$@ about instead of picking on teenagers who make mistakes a$$
NewsReader 2 years, 5 months ago
So what are you advocating GwinnettResident24? Give them a pass and void their responsibility for this foolishness because they are "teenagers"? Give me a break! BTW, it's "you're", not "your". Had you been paying attention in class instead of whining and moaning about being picked on as a teenager, you probably would have learned that!
LIGChillz303 2 years, 5 months ago
Obviously many have hit a nerve with GwinnettResident24! Must be friends of the 2 teenage losers or their parents. Underage drinking, DUI, & malicious destruction of public property are not mistakes. They're lucky they didn't hit a tree during their drunken 4 wheeler vandalism adventure, instead of mugshots it would be the coroners picture.

Thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate your uplifting words, yes, it has been a terrible stretch for me, but that's Life eh? Nice to have a place to escape too here on the forums:)
Yes, I'm not concerned about the slow sales of the Ruins, I am sure it will be a "slow burner" Law's pictures are a great help! Everyone's pictures are! You guys are all really great, and I think that it's awesome being able to see what others are building here, it's inspiring...as far as the economy, I'm not worried about that too much as it's been bad for a long time and that has never seemed to have too much of an impact on us before...that's because you guys are all such loyal collectors and for that I really thank you because it allows me/us to keep making kool stuff...our Forum membership keeps getting larger every year, hurray!
One day, I'm gonna post some of my own pictures, some day soon hopefully!

I just received my Ruins sets and they are even better than I thought!! I didn't see a lot of the detail until I got my hands on them. Also, the best part of the Ruins set is that it makes for fantastic pieces for indoor settings, such as broken down walls, worn areas of a dungeon, etc.
I'll post lots of pictures once my campaign gets going (maybe in ~3 weeks). Also, I can't wait for Wicked Editions 3!!!!

Stefan, Jeff.
I'm not happy about my ruins set at all now !!
You didn't tell me the original box's size so where do I store it now mm ?? :
You also didn't give me a clear notice to make a set up too so it's hard to know how to do something :
I could add the stairs of the wicked set :
But the worst thing was to check if my central dunjeon was done correctly so I had to go up & down several times :
I just finished my haunted castle :
I could finally rest into the chapel inside :
But my players never reached the spot and ran away :
Please next time you release a ruins set II deliver us the workers with it and a lift too.
Ps to Stefan : if you need some more photos to get inspiration for your ruin set II let me know I have a lot from all catsle in ruins close to my town.

Heroquest: That's AWESOME! Great pics, looks like you had a great time. And it really does show off how cool DF is, that it matches the "originals" so well!
Stefan: I do hope my pictures, and all the pics people post, help illustrate how versatile and interesting the new set is.
Thinking about it a bit, I have two suggestions that I think might help with the sales model for DF, and both of them would be easy to implement:
1) A "difficulty level" ranking system. Already there are some sets with "advanced" in the name, but I think there could be an intermediate level, and I'd place the Ruins set in that level. "Basic" sets would be the introductory sets, and any set that lends itself less to multiple uses/tricks. The sets that provide the basic construction elements, but little else, would be basic sets.
"Intermediate" sets would be sets like the Ruins set, the Narrow Passage set, and other sets that can be used in straightforward ways, but also can be stacked in interesting ways, can have multiple uses, and so on. The advantage of an "intermediate" label would be to let introductory users know that the sets can be useful without a lot of experience or creativity, but also lets more experienced users know that the sets are designed to allow for more creative applications.
"Advanced" sets would be sets like the ABS sets, of course, but also the chasm set, that really benefit from experience, where introductory users might be able to benefit from them, but should probably get used to the modular system first, while more experienced players can really sink their teeth into the complexity of the sets. The lake expansion should go here, it's pretty tricky. The other water sets could probably be cast as intermediate sets -- or maybe the river set would be intro, but the lake set either intermediate or advanced. It's pretty easy to figure out how to just make a basic lake with it, so beginners could work it out. But anything beyond a basic circle or oval lake requires a bit more experience, so it feels like a good candidate for the intermediate level.
And so on.
2) Bundles. If you find there are sets that aren't selling as well, and want to encourage people to buy, offer a small discount on bundles of sets that form natural pairs. Bought together, save 20% off the total or something like that.
It occurred to me that Ruins and Narrow Passage sets have both been somewhat "slow burners" and they really work well together. The NP set can be a really useful support structure for higher levels, which is a good way to use the ruins set -- but it also looks good to sprinkle NP pieces around a ruined structure, since the columns standing alone further suggest the dessicated remains of a once-grand structure.
It would help move inventory, plus it would give people an incentive to buy if they're afraid that "Well, in order to get real benefit from set X, I'd also need to buy set Y, and I can't afford both." Or, even better, it would help people who have been thinking "Man, set X looks awesome with set y, but I don't know how often I'd use set y on its own, so I should be responsible." Nudge them into getting it by offering a discount when bundled. (think of how many people have said "I wasn't going to get caverns/sci-fi/hellscape/ruins, but this combination makes me think it would look great with the sets I DO buy...")
Other combinations: Cavern Set and Chasm Set, Room Set and WA or WA2 set, obviously MBS and MBS2 and ROTA and ROTA2, but also maybe Room Set and MBS as a "medieval building combo" for that great fieldstone/timber combination. Doe/Hellscape of course. Or, Hellscape/Sci-fi --> remember I posted a bunch of Hellscape sci-fi setups when HS came out, and people seemed to think it looked cool.
The real benefit, I think, would be to avoid the obvious combos like Room and WA or MBS and MBS2. Most customers willing to buy one of those would also probably buy the other. The point of bundling would be to show off unexpected interactivity, as between Narrow Passage and Ruins, or between Hellscape and Sci-Fi. (see also: Caverns and Sci-fi, for a classic "batcave" look).
It might be a good alternative, I think, to just a straightforward sale of sets that are slow movers. A way to push inventory without having to eat too much of the cost, since most of us know DF is a small company with a thin (sometimes nonexistent) profit margin.
And, hey, if it doesn't work, you haven't really lost anything, because it doesn't cost anything to advertise a bundle package sale -- especially if the point is to bundle sets you already have a backlog of inventory for. If people buy, great. If they don't, well, you tried, and you didn't have to expend any resources but the time it took to post the ad.
Just a thought,
Minotaur Lord

Great pictures, HQF! Thanks for sharing.
Those of you in Europe may have to wait longer for your DF deliveries, but you have the real thing to look at in the meantime; I envy that... ;-)
The picture above inspired me to mention that I hope a ruined/damaged staircase shows up in Ruins 2 or Wicked Additions 3!

Well this was my buy for 2011. So far I haven't had a chance to use it yet but I think it will make a great edition to the family here. The wife is using various sets for her Pathfinder game, mostly room sets and accessories. Thanks for the great work. I like most of the stuff!

My first exposure to World Pulse was when I picked up a magazine last year. I was so excited to see so many women form around the world working to make the world and their communities better. I finally got around to joining earlier this year and am now getting around to posting. My new years resolutions this year were: 1. doing work in the field of literacy, 2. working with women and children, 3. living a more simple life, and 4. exploring the world more. I truly want to become more of an activist locally and internationally as I believe women are strong and will bring about unprecedented changes in our world for the better. Also earlier this year I joined a group in my community called Spread the Word which pairs up reading buddies with students who are having difficulty in our local schools. We meet once a week and work on improving the reading and comprehension skills of our buddies. This year I am working with four students who are in third grade and only reading at the first grade level.
I also have been to a couple of Peace Corp meetings and am exploring applying in mid 2011. This would give me a more direct impact in an area of need. Why the wait?? My daughter is in her graduate studies and I must be here for graduation.
Best Wishes to my global sisters and thank you for all the work you are doing.
