Fierce clashes between the Haqqani network and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan left at least eight people dead in North Waziristan Agency, local sources said on Thursday.
"The Taliban attacked Malik Karim Khan's tribe late Wednesday night. The tribe resisted the attack, leading to crossfire," a local resident said, requesting anonymity.
Sources told The Express Tribune that the clash started in the early hours of Thursday and intensified after the deaths of TTP commander Jehanzeb Khan and Haqqani commander Qadir Haqqani.
The clashes erupted in the Malik Shadam Khan area of the agency's Speen Waam sub-district, which shares a border with Afghanistan. Six people, including a woman, were killed by members of the Haqqani network in the primary clash. In retaliation, two Haqqani network men were killed and several houses in the area suffered damage due to the use of heavy weaponry.
According to an official of the Mirali political administration, who spoke on condition of anonymity, a local tribal elder Gulbuddin was killed in the clash. Gulbuddin was among those tribesmen who were trying to broker a ceasefire between the two parties.
The group continued fighting at the time of filing this report. Sources said the TTP was led by Sattar, who was nominated commander after his cousin Jehanzeb's death. The Haqqani network, they said, is being commandeered by a man named Sangeen.
They said that residents have begun fleeing the area, where both groups have taken positions against each other. Tribal elders and religious clerics are making efforts to broker a ceasefire between the warring groups.
There was no estimate of how many fighters were involved, but sources said the number runs in the hundreds for both groups.
The clashes have a history. Two years ago, a son of Malik Karim Khan had gone missing and the tribe suspected that he was kidnapped by local Taliban militants. The tribe then abducted two people, believed to be associated with the Taliban. Karim Khan's son was released but killed within days of being freed, leading to renewed suspicion.
Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a senior Taliban commander, had asked the people of North Waziristan to rise up against all forces that were using the agency's soil for their own motives. He had asked the people of the "South", a clear reference to the TTP which mostly consists of the Mehsud tribesmen, to respect their land and property. The statement was made through a pamphlet distributed in Mir Ali, two days after the Bannu jailbreak, for which the TTP claimed responsibility.

If you know a camper is in your future, Save the money and just use a regular on the ground tent. Better gas milage, less weight, truck still fits in garage, don't have to bring camp with you if you have to run to town for something.
I'll suggest borrowing someones for a weekend and see how you like it. We rented one and quickly learned it was not at all what we wanted.
I particularly disliked having to climb up and down the ladder at 2am when kids had to go to the bathroom.
98 uzj100. Factory rear-ARB front locked 4.88's. ARB Bull, Warn 9000, Irbis rear bumper, Slee sliders and belly pan. OME t-bars w/863 rears, HID, XM
I like the ARB Simpson III. It unfolds easy and gets put away quick. It is a bit longer than the sleeping bag so you can put your boots down near the end and a small bag. I also has the little extra cover area so people cant see right into the tent.
And yes Mike, I install it myself. I pull into the garage, lower it down, bolt it on and go
Course I have tall garage doors that allow me to clear it with the tent installed
The lift mechanism is $150 with free shippinghttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...=nosim/ihco-20
The ARB Simpson was very comfortable on the Maze trip. I used nakmans full rack and also had two forerrunner two natao gas can carriers mounted on the back. Used on for gas and the other for a propane tank for the propane fire (no wood fires allowed)
Kurt from cruiseroutfitters has a great review of them

I have a Tepui mounted over the shell of my Tacoma. I picked it up from SoftTopper in Boulder for about $1k if I remember correctly. Reasons I went w/ the Tepui:
-Cheaper than most models out there.
-Takes up a very small footprint on top of the truck. I can still load 5 bikes on the roof rack over the cab while it is on the shell... Yet it opens up to be a little bigger than a queen sized mattress.
-I can open it off the back... Giving me shelter for the tailgate, which serves as our kitchen.
After some use (Probably about 10 nights in the last 8 months) I've discovered:
-The foam mattress it comes with is only a tiny bit softer than a board of plywood.... This is easily remedied by putting a memory foam pad sized for a queen mattress in there.
-Sleeping up there is freakin awesome! So much more comfortable than any other camping situation I've used. And if you park in the trees it's like being in a tree house.
-Getting out to pee is a little difficult in the middle of the night. If you tend to get drunk when you camp, this would be a terrible idea.
-It really hasn't hurt my gas mileage as much as I thought it would. Maybe a 5% reduction if that.
-Keeps me quite warm and quite dry. More so than any other tent/system I've used.
-My girlfriend likes it even more than I do.
one other thing:
It's super easy and fast to put up and take down, especially when compared w/ a ground tent. My girlfriend and I can do it in about 5 minutes and it takes about 8 minutes to do it solo. Plus, all your bedding stays up there, so you pop it up and rack out and you are not occupying space in the truck with pillows and blankets.
one big thing to consider is how easily you can set it up/take it down. i found out during the killpecker run that i could never use a standard fold over tent because i'm not tall enough to be able to deal with the cover, fold it down and fold it back up.
get a used maggi.. you can find them for about $1500-1700 and they don't really lose they're value.
i could set up in 2 minutes where it took treeroot 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. granted, he did have the vestibule, but even without, it still took a long time. teardown for me was 5 minutes. treeroot was still close to the same time.
after three days when we rolled in for fuel, the guys with the soft tents were on empty, i had a 1/4 tank. i've found no mileage loss at all.

Lots of good stuff on here. I appreciate the feedback. I thought I had my mind made up that I was getting one. I still think I would use it enough. The ARB like Romer has goes for about $900 on CL once in a while. The Maggi is top $ for sure, but seems like the easiest setup. Now I'm not sure what to do. Here's the article Nakman referenced from Kurt Williams.
EDIT: Same story Romer posted.
I had been thinking I'd at least like one for the Kokopelli trip. But, there's really not much downside to just sleeping in the back of the truck either. (Except maybe ventilation) OTOH, the kids would be psyched to sleep up top on our local overnighters. Seems like half of you like them, the other half don't. Do those of you who have them feel like you use it enough? Or, is it too much of a hassle? Damn Nakman and his "Post it on the RS forum" pep talk....... Way to douse the flames on my slumber in the sky.

Stan I had one for about 4 years and hardly used it. It was almost better to take the popup, or just a tent, or just crash in the truck. Then once I finally did I realized it just wasn't for me. Like Farnham said, you should try to borrow one, with at least one kid (you can borrow one of mine if yours can't go)- I bet you'd learn real quick if you liked RTT life.
99 uzj100, 05 525EXC
Edit: before I had a kid...
I have an ARB Simpson II, the older model that Romer and Kurt have. I really like it. I lived out of my FJ60 a few summers ago and the RTT was great. I like that it doesn't get filthy when it rains or snows from mud on the ground. It has a mattress. I could fill my rig with gear and not have to worry about making room to sleep in it. I CAN put it on and take it off myself with some ingenuity. Going up and down the ladder is easier for me than crawling around on my knees to get in and out of a small tent and the RTT is a lot more wind/weather stable than a giant ground tent. Since selling my FJ60 I have built a rack on my Hilux and mounted it to my bed rails. It's great. Even easier to put on and off, easier to get in and out of. I just miss the enclosed FJ60 cab for my gear. I wish I could mount it on my FJ40 because I enjoy driving the 40 most. Someday I'll sell everything, buy an FJ45 Troopy (or maybe another FJ60) and mount a RTT on it.
Now that I have a kid I just don't wheel or camp anymore.

It looks like some tents don't open flat. Some have a slight "V" to them. The ARB's (Romers and Martins pics) look totally flat when open. The Tepui's look "V" shaped in their pics??

A funeral in New Hampshire, for a lovely, kind woman of 93 was a place of intense emotions last week for my family. A memorial service, really, an opportunity to be with family and remember Joyce. A mother, wife, grandmother, great grandmother, mother in law. I listened to my beloved brother in law speak with his heart in his throat, remembering his mother, all the way back to when he was a young child, heard the respect, love and most especially joy. We all felt the grief of the adult grandchildren there, who had in some ways been raised by Joyce, most certainly been saved by Joyce from a terrifically difficult childhood. I watched the newest great grandchild sleep on her mother's shoulder, one month old the next day.
A family pulling together to help Joyce spend her final days on earth as she wanted, with her family around her, in a peaceful way. A family that does not necessarily all get along, has serious and important problems between them; still making the decision to put those differences aside and put Joyce and her needs, first. And of course, not perfectly, but lovingly. My heart goes out to my sister, who loved her mother in law intensely and genuinely and to my brother in law and Judy, Joyce's daughter. Don, Joyce's husband is lucky to have had Joyce for so long, as was Joyce lucky to have Don. Don will continue to be cared for by the family; for that is what they do. That is what Joyce taught them to do, by what she always chose to do. To create peace, to have patience, to love no matter what.
I hope it reminds all of us to do the same. To have patience with ourselves, first. Infertility, particularly, we tend to blame on ourselves. Something our bodies are not doing properly; something we ought to be able to do. Be gentle with yourself, be patient with yourself. That loving attention will reap rewards far more reaching than heaping blame on top of disappointment, on top of frustration.

Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines has recorded a version of a classic Pink Floyd song for an upcoming documentary soundtrack. She covers the Roger Waters song "Mother" for West of Memphis: Voices of Justice, a collection of music "from and inspired by" the new film West of Memphis, which focuses on the nearly 20-year-long ordeal of the West Memphis Three.
Maines had been an outspoken opponent of the imprisonment of the three accused child murderers, who were sent to prison and then exonerated 18 years later. Her version of "Mother" will appear on West of Memphis: Voices of Justice, which is coming out on January 15 (the film will be released in N.Y. and L.A. on Dec. 25).
This version of "Mother" features fellow West Memphis Three activist Ben Harper, who plays lap steel on the track. Harper is also credited with producing and recording the song. The pair performed the song on numerous occasions this summer.

In his recent interview for SPIN's "Listening In" series, freed West Memphis Three man Damien Echols fondly reminisced over his love for old school heavy metal — an interest which many felt contributed to his death row conviction while still a teenager. Since that fateful 1994 conviction, countless musicians have come out in support of Echols and co., resulting in an impressive list of high-profile supporters that tellingly transcends genre.
A cross-section of that lineup is quite literally manifested on West of Memphis: Voices for Justice, the soundtrack for the upcoming documentary about the plight of the WM3, West of Memphis, due to hit theaters in New York and Los Angeles on Christmas Day. Among the guests contributing to the corresponding album are Marilyn Manson, Eddie Vedder, Band of Horses, Bob Dylan, Henry Rollins, and Nick Cave with Warren Ellis.

'West Of Memphis: Voices For Justice' Music To Be Released Jan. 15, In Part To Benefit West Memphis Three
Legacy Recordings Set To Release West Of Memphis: Voices For Justice - Music from & Inspired By New Film Documenting the Case of The Memphis Three
West of Memphis: Voices For Justice - Featuring Music From Eddie Vedder, Natalie Maines, Patti Smith, Lucinda Williams and More - Available Tuesday, January 15, 2013
The purchase of this album will in part directly benefit the West Memphis Three
"West of Memphis," A Sony Pictures Classics Release, Opening In Los Angeles & New York On Christmas Day (December 25, 2012)
Legacy Recordings will release West of Memphis: Voices For Justice, an album of music and songs inspired by the new Sony Pictures Classics film, "West of Memphis," which chronicles the case of the West Memphis Three. The album serves to raise awareness for the continuing fight for exoneration of the West Memphis Three.
"West of Memphis" is a new documentary film produced by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh (the Lord of the Rings trilogy), Amy Berg (Best Documentary Oscar nominee Deliver Us From Evil), with first-time producers Damien Echols (of the West Memphis Three) and Lorri Davis. Directed by Amy Berg, the film reveals the untold story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light; a fight to stop the State of Arkansas from killing an innocent man.
Starting with a searing examination of the police investigation into the 1993 murders of three eight-year-old boys in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, the film goes on to uncover new evidence surrounding the arrest and conviction of the other three victims of this shocking crime--Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. All three were teenagers when they became the target of the police investigation for crimes they did not commit. Each of the West Memphis Three spent more than 18 years in prison while outside the gates, mounting evidence and testimony pointing to their innocence led to an outpouring of support, particularly from the music community and artists featured on this album such as Eddie Vedder, Henry Rollins, Natalie Maines, Marilyn Manson, Dave Navarro, and Patti Smith.
"Music has always played a huge role in my life. In my early years, it allowed me to escape the crushing poverty I was born into. Music took me out of myself and into a thousand other worlds. Then, when I was put on trial, it was music they used against me. My love of heavy metal was considered 'proof' that I was evil and a satanic murderer. And then, ultimately, it was music that helped to free me when friends and supporters came together to put on the Voices for Justice concert in Little Rock," said Damien Echols.
"West of Memphis" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2012 and was an official selection at the Deauville American Film Festival 2012 and the Toronto International Film Festival 2012.
Much of the music heard in "West of Memphis" comes from an original score written and performed for the film by the Australian compositional team of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (The Dirty Three, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds). "It was an honor to have made a contribution to the film and to have played a part in raising awareness of the case of the West Memphis Three," said Cave.
Strains of the Cave-Ellis film score may be heard in the Henry Rollins track, "Damien Death Row Letter (Year 9)" in which Rollins reads a letter Damien has written him in 2003. One of the WM3's most vocal proponents over the years, Rollins was the producer and prime creative force behind the 2002 compilation album Rise Above: 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three.
Natalie Maines, a staunch backer of the West Memphis Three, performed the Pink Floyd song "Mother" live with Ben Harper in the summer of 2012 and decided to record it for West of Memphis: Voices For Justice. Maines and Harper produced this studio recording of the song, which features Ben on steel lap guitar.
Lucinda Williams re-recorded her 2006 song "Joy" exclusively for this soundtrack after playing it at Neil Young's "Bridge School Benefit.
The supergroup cover-band Camp Freddy--lead guitarist, Dave Navarro, is a friend and supporter of Damien Echols--recorded this version of "The Jean Genie," originally by David Bowie, one of Damien's favorite artists to listen to while on death row.
Tonto's Giant Nuts featuring Johnny Depp and Bruce Witkin recorded their version of "Little Lion Man," a Mumford & Sons cover, or this album. The song was an inspiration to Echols at the end of his prison term.
Marilyn Manson contributed his cover of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain," featuring Johnny Depp on guitar. Manson weighed in on the WM3 case on April 8, 2010 and said, "....I wish that I had the strength that this guy (Damien Echols) had, because he's gone to trial and gone to prison for just looking and thinking the things he did, and that's pretty much what all of us as a music community believe in and what we need to finally get behind. So I'm standing up today to say let's all get behind the West Memphis Three and fix it."
Band of Horses contributed a spectacular live version of "Dumpster World," from their acclaimed album, Mirage Rock, to West of Memphis: Voices For Justice.
Clarence Greenwood, aka Citizen Cope, has been following the West Memphis Three case for years and volunteered his song, "DFW," for the film after seeing an early cut and being moved by the story of Lorri Davis and Damien Echols.
Eddie Vedder wrote the song "Satellite" for Lorri Davis as a gift in a collection of songs he recorded for Lorri and Damien around 2000. Director Amy Berg makes beautiful use of the track over the final scene in "West of Memphis."
Bill Carter and his wife, Ruth Carter, wrote "Anything Made of Paper" to run as the end titles for "West of Memphis." The song's origins come from when Carter asked Echols what he could bring to him on death row and Damien answered, "anything made of paper, that's all."
The White Buffalo, aka Jake Smith, covers Faster Pussycat's 1989 hit "House of Pain," one of the songs Damien listened to on death row.
Bob Dylan contributed his liberation anthem, "Ring Them Bells," from 1989's Oh Mercy.
Tonto's Giant Nuts featuring Johnny Depp recite "Damien Death Row Letter (Year 17)" along with the Nick Cave and Warren Ellis score.
Patti Smith was one of the key artists who volunteered to perform at the Voices For Freedom benefit concert in West Memphis, Arkansas in August 2010. Patti's recording of "Wing" on the West of Memphis: Voices For Justice album is her live performance from that event, which had a major impact in pressuring the state for the release of the WM3.
Digital versions of West of Memphis: Voices For Justice will include the bonus track "Road to Nowhere" an Ozzy Osbourne cover recorded by Bill Carter. Ozzy's original was one of Damien's favorite songs to pass the time on death row.

Legendary Austin musician Bill Carter has a new single, "Anything Made of Paper," which you can hear exclusively at Entertainment Weekly. The track will be featured on West of Memphis: Voices for Justice, the music inspired by the documentary film about the West Memphis 3.
"This heartfelt song, penned by my dear friends Bill and Ruth Carter, is a sublime, haunting number that offers us outsiders a tiny insight into the cruel world that Damien and Lorri were forced to inhabit for so long," Depp says. "Those words, 'Anything Made of Paper' are rooted in truth, for no item but paper was permitted either in nor out of Damien's Arkansas cage."

Juggalo (feminine Juggalette, or Juggala in Spanish speaking countries) is a name given to fans of the group Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, slang and characteristics.[1] The Gathering of the Juggalos, alternatively known as just "The Gathering", is a notable annual festival held by juggalos and the artists that they support, which have included rap stars such as Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, and MC Hammer; over its first eleven events, the festival has drawn an attendance of about 107,500 fans.[2]
The term originated during a 1994 live performance by Insane Clown Posse. During the song "The Juggla", Violent J addressed the audience as Juggalos, and the positive response resulted in Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope using the word thereafter to refer to themselves and their friends, family and fans, including other Psychopathic Records artists.[3] The fanbase boomed following the release of their third album, Riddle Box, in 1995, leading Insane Clown Posse to write the songs "What Is A Juggalo?" and "Down With The Clown" for their 1997 album The Great Milenko.[4]
According to Shaggy 2 Dope, "[Juggalos come] from all walks of life – from poverty, from rich, from all religions, all colors. [...] It doesn't matter if you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or a crack rock in your mouth."[5] Juggalos have compared themselves to a family.[6][7]
Common characteristics of identifying a member of the Juggalo subculture are as follows:
- Drinking and spraying the inexpensive soft drink Faygo.[8][9]
- Listening to horrorcore and other types of underground rap music.
- Wearing face paint, generally those either like a clown or perhaps similar to corpse paint.
- Wearing HatchetGear.
- Having the Hatchet man logo applied on personal effects and die cast worn such as in a necklace.
- Doing hair in the spider legs style, i.e. like the Twiztid members[6]
- Displaying the gesture of wicked clown, the westside sign with the left hand and the C sign in ASL with the right, with arms crossed over.
- Making and responding to "whoop, whoop" calls.
- Expressing a (generally) tongue-in-cheek obsession with murder, committed with a blade weapon.
Juggalos view the lyrics of Psychopathic Records artists, which are often violent in nature, as a catharsis for aggression.[10][11]
Many characteristics of the Juggalo culture originated from in the 1980s, when Joseph Bruce (Violent J) and his family were living in poverty. He and his brother Robert received all their clothes from rummage sales, and their food from canned food drives held at their own school.[12] Due to their poverty, the Bruce Brothers were the brunt of many jokes in school. However, the brothers were not ashamed of their living standards, and instead embraced it.[12] Joe even made a name for themselves, Floobs.[12] According to Joe, a Floob was essentially a scrub, but not just an ordinary scrub. A Floob "wore the same old shoes and shitty clothes from rummage sales [...] but [...] didn't even have to be cool. [Floobs] turned [their] scrubbiness into something [they] could be proud of."[12] Though Joe only specifically names himself and his brother as Floobs, he alludes to other Floobs whom he had not met or known of, but were living in the same conditions as he and his brother; the respect that Floobs had for each other and their family-like embrace of likewise people influenced the philosophy held among Juggalos.[12]
Charities, benefits and community activity of Juggalos
Juggalos in Denver, Colorado, founded the charity Juggalos Making A Difference.[13] In 2010, Psychopathic Records ran a toy drive to benefit children of poor families.[13] Since 2008, Florida Juggalos organized The Juggalo Cleanup Crew to pick up trash for the Dead Stephanie Memorial Cleanup, in honor of Stephanie Harris, high school student who died of diabetes in 2008.[14][15] In 2014, ICP held a charity concert in Ohio, for Aaron Spencer, a juggalo who passed away from a debilitating illness. All proceeds from the show went to the Spencer family.[16]
Juggalo gangs
Although the Juggalo subculture stems from the horrorcore subgenre of the general hip hop music fandom, criminal and gang-related activity has been attributed to self-described 'Juggalos' in recent years, including assaults,[17][18][19] drug trafficking,[17][18] vandalism,[17] burglary,[18] shootings,[18] theft,[17][18] robbery,[18] and numerous murders.[17][20][21][22]
Interaction between violent and nonviolent Juggalos
According to a 2011 Intelligence Report, the Juggalo subculture is split between violent and nonviolent factions. Some members of the Juggalos street gang even look down on non-criminal Juggalos, considering them to be weak,[17] and criminal Juggalo gangs have committed attacks on non-gang-related Juggalos.[23]
Both Juggalo gang affiliates and nonviolent Juggalos believe in the Juggalo "family".
However, some nonviolent Juggalos do not believe that any gang related activity should be associated with the Juggalo lifestyle.[17]
Public and artist reactions
The Insane Clown Posse filed a lawsuit against the FBI about the gang-listing.[24] In December 2012, ICP agreed to withdraw their involvement as plaintiffs.[25]
Psychopathic Records launched the website juggalosfightback.com for fans to submit stories about unfair treatment by law enforcement. ICP hopes to use these stories in their legal battle to declassify Juggalos as a gang.[26]
The classification of Juggalos as a criminal gang was ridiculed by the technology magazine Wired in a November 2011 article, with journalist Spencer Ackerman referring to previous scandals involving FBI harassment of Muslim-Americans.[27]
On January 8, 2014, Insane Clown Posse along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed suit again against the FBI. The suit aims to have Juggalos no longer considered to be a gang and to have any "criminal intelligence information" about Juggalos destroyed.[28]
Gathering of the Juggalos
The Gathering of the Juggalos (The Gathering or GOTJ) is an annual festival put on by Psychopathic Records, featuring performances by the entire label as well as numerous well-known musical groups and underground artists. It was founded by Robert Bruce, Insane Clown Posse, and their label in 2000. The Gathering has featured bands of a variety of genres within hip hop and rock, though the majority of the acts perform horrorcore and hardcore hip hop, similar to that of Psychopathic Records artists.[29][29][30]
Described by Joseph Bruce as a "Juggalo Woodstock",[29] the Gathering of the Juggalos spans four days and includes concerts, wrestling, games, contests, autograph sessions, karaoke, and seminars with artists. Over its first eleven events, the festival has drawn an attendance of about 107,500 fans.[2]
In July 2012, the media organization Vice released "American Juggalo," a twenty-minute film documenting the festival, through their subsidiary music channel, Noisey. Sean Dunne directed the work.[31]
On August 9, 2013, 24-year-old Cory Collins died at the festival, following 3 more deaths at previous festivals.[32]
In popular media
Psychopathic Records launched the professional wrestling company Juggalo Championship Wrestling in 1999.
In 2009, Psychopathic Video filmed a documentary about Juggalos entitled A Family Underground.[33][34][35]
Mainstream media has also made references to the Juggalo subculture. In 2009, television sketch comedy Saturday Night Live began a reoccurring series of sketches about the "Kickspit Underground Rock Festival" which parodies Juggalos and the Gathering of the Juggalos.[36][37] The following year, the television show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia parodied Juggalos on the episode "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth".[38] In 2011, the television show Workaholics aired an episode called "Straight Up Juggahos" that revolved around Juggalos and an Insane Clown Posse concert.[39] Later that year, an independent documentary entitled American Juggalo was released.[40]
Several well-known figures have identified themselves as Juggalos. These include actors Kane Hodder[41] and Charlie Sheen,[42] professional wrestlers Kazushige Nosawa,[43] Vampiro,[44] Colt Cabana,[45] and Willie Mack,[46] and rappers Chuck D,[47] Coolio,[48] Kung Fu Vampire,[49] MURS,[50] and Vanilla Ice.[51]

Phillies clobber Mets, 13-8
|Philadelphia Phillies' Michael Young, right, celebrates with teammate Jimmy Rollins (11) after hitting a three-run home run during the third inning of a baseball game against the New York Mets, Friday, July 19, 2013, in New York. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II)
NEW YORK — Chase Utley, Domonic Brown and the Philadelphia Phillies came flying out of the All-Star break, scoring 11 runs in the first three innings Friday night on the way to a 13-8 rout of the New York Mets.
Michael Young hit a three-run homer, Utley had a two-run drive and Brown a solo shot as the Phillies (49-48) won for the ninth time in 12 games to move over .500 for only the second time this season. Philadelphia roughed up familiar foil Jeremy Hefner in its seventh consecutive victory at Citi Field dating to last season, including a three-game sweep in April.
While the Phillies have made themselves right at home in Queens, the Mets keep struggling in their own ballpark. Back on the field after hosting the All-Star game Tuesday for the first time since 1964, they fell to an NL-worst 17-28 at home.
Utley tripled and drove in three runs on a 95-degree night that made Citi Field feel like a sauna. Delmon Young had three hits and Brown, fresh off his All-Star debut, tagged Hefner once again while adding had three hits and two RBIs.
John Mayberry Jr. also knocked in two, and every Philadelphia position player had at least one hit and scored by the third inning. The beneficiary of all that early offense was Kyle Kendrick (9-6), who was handed an 11-0 cushion and lasted 5X\c innings.
Kendrick, who pitched a three-hit shutout April 26 at Citi Field, improved to 4-1 five starts at Citi Field and 13-3 in his last 19 against NL East teams.
Marlon Byrd hit a three-run homer, and David Wright had a two-run shot in the ninth for the Mets.
Hefner (4-7) came in with a 1.76 ERA in his past eight starts, the best mark in the majors since June 4, but he's often run into big problems when facing the Phillies.
Chased after getting only six outs, Hefner dropped to 2-3 with a 13.75 ERA in six career outings against Philadelphia.
With streaking center fielder Ben Revere sidelined by a broken foot last weekend, Jimmy Rollins returned to the leadoff spot for the Phillies and got them off to a fast start.
Rollins, who had been hitting third, has batted in each of the top three slots at least 20 times this season.
"To me, the lineup we've got right now, that's where he goes," manager Charlie Manuel said.
Rollins singled to start the game and scored on Utley's one-out triple off the 408 sign on the center-field fence. Brown hit an RBI single, Delmon Young drove in a run with an infield single and Mayberry added an RBI single before Hefner finally ended a 38-pitch inning that lasted 20 minutes.
It only got worse in the third, when Philadelphia scored seven runs and batted around for the second time.
Brown sent an 0-2 breaking ball into the second deck in right for his 24th home run, making him 6 for 6 with two homers, a double, two walks and seven RBIs against Hefner in his career.
Darin Ruf doubled and scored when Byrd overran Young's single in right field for an error. Mayberry smacked a run-scoring double that chased Hefner before Carlos Ruiz hit an RBI double off Greg Burke.
Michael Young capped the outburst with a three-run shot to left. Utley added a two-run drive off Josh Edgin in the fifth to make it 13-3.
New York trimmed it to 13-6 in the sixth and had the bases loaded with two outs when Luis Garcia retired pinch-hitter Josh Satin on a grounder.
NOTES: Mayberry made his 17th start of the season in center, but assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said the Phillies are looking into "all sorts" of other options. `'I wouldn't rule anything out," he said. "We haven't had a situation that merited pulling the trigger at this point." ... Philadelphia entered with a major league-best .616 winning percentage after the All-Star break since 2007. ... Reserve infielder Justin Turner (ribcage) is likely to come off the disabled list for a four-game series against Atlanta that begins Monday night, Mets manager Terry Collins said. ... New York rookie Zack Wheeler (3-1, 3.54 ERA) pitches Saturday against LHP Cole Hamels (4-11, 4.05), who is 6-11 with a 4.28 ERA in 23 starts against the Mets. ... New York worked out Thursday, but Collins said he gave 3B David Wright the day off following all his responsibilities leading up to the All-Star game. ... Attendance was 35,021, with a postgame concert scheduled by hip-hop artist and Mets fan Nas.

"Courteney has always been a nurturer," says Arquette. "But to see her juggle a baby on top of everything else is just amazing." The couple named their daughter after Cox's mother (also Courteney Cox) who was endearingly nicknamed Mama Coco by Cox's friends.Read MoreLess

COC, Hart District students will both have opportunity to
learn from prestigious dance company.
offered by the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons
(PAC), the dance company Diavolo will present a special performance and set of
accompanying master class opportunities for Santa Clarita Valley students.
Founded in 1992 in Los Angeles
by Jacques Heim, Diavolo is a professional modern dance company with a mission
to create large-scale interdisciplinary performances that examine the funny and
frightening ways individuals act within their environment.
Performances include the talents of dancers, gymnasts and
actors all interacting on stage with outrageous and surrealistic props and
sets, to create an almost cinematic experience. By continually pushing the
boundaries of both the performer and the stage, Diavolo has captivated audiences
around the world.
In line with its mission, Diavolo has also become an
exemplary teaching institution, featuring experienced artists/teachers who have
graduated from some of the country's finest dance institutions.
As a prelude to the PAC Diavolo performance on Saturday
November 1, company artists will interact with students from the College of the
Canyons dance department in the first of two master class opportunities on
October 30.
Designed for the professional and pre-professional dance-track
student, Diavolo hosts master classes traditionally featuring lessons in trust,
teamwork, physicality and artistry. In addition, all master classes will
incorporate a "creation" aspect, where students will take learned vocabulary
and elements of dance and create a short phrase, either with partners or in
On Friday morning, October 31, approximately 600 local
junior high and high school students from the William S. Hart Union school
district will be treated to a special Diavolo education performance as part of
the college's ongoing arts education outreach program.
A second Diavolo master class will provide a dozen local
high school students with the opportunity to work alongside professional
artists from the dance company, in a format similar to that enjoyed by the
college's dance students. This second master class will also include the
presence of selected College of the Canyons dance students, who will serve as
mentors to their high school aged counterparts.
"One goal of these events is to develop and to sustain
educational collaboration between College of the Canyons' dance students and
the Hart district dance students," said Dr. Floyd Moos, College of the Canyons'
Dean of Fine and Performing Arts. "We're looking forward to help sponsor future
creative opportunities for professional and student growth and to enrich and
expand the learning experiences for participants at all ages and all stages."
All Diavolo master classes and special performance
arrangements are made possible thanks to a donation from the Found Penny
"We are thrilled that the Found Penny Foundation is
supporting the PAC K-12 Arts Education Outreach program," said Adam Philipson,
PAC managing director. "This generous donation will allow College of the
Canyons and the PAC to make a strong and lasting impression in the program's
pilot year, and will greatly impact the ways in which we are able to reach out
to more local students and provide exposure to the arts."
The PAC's K-12 arts education outreach program seeks to use
the college's vast cultural and community resources to expose students to the
visual and performing arts, while also collaborating with teachers and
administrators in school districts throughout the area to develop an enhanced
arts education curriculum, and a variety of unique educational opportunities
for all students.
Tickets for the 8 p.m.
Diavolo performance on Saturday November 1 can be purchased online at www.canyonspac.com or by calling the PAC
box office at (661) 362-5304.

4 Cylinder
there is no fuel open button...it's a pain to press it to open.
2009 Tsx — I love the new generation tsx mostly because it's a 4 cylinder & still has the size & luxuries of the TL. super smooth ride, looks amazing & comes with all the bells & whistles at no extra cost. It's also great on gas which is a must in this economy!

2009 Acura TSX 6-spd w/ Tech Pkg Review
nice car
no negitives
Good — Okay so I bought a 2013 Acura TSX w/5 spd-automatic trans. and the 2.4L inline 4-cyl engine. It seemed like a great buy, and it mostly was. Performance-wise, it is actually quite a bargain. The 2.4L offers surprisingly good pickup when you need it. Press the accelerator down to the floor and it shoots forward unlike any 4-cyl I've driven before, even more than my friend's '04 TSX I test drove a few years back. I love the 2.4's engine sound at high rev's, once you approach it's 7,100-rpm redline it screams with egotistic swagger and it sounds great! 5-spd shifts very accurately and smoothly. Handling is fairly impressive but not incredibly sporty, mostly due to the fact that the 2nd-gen TSX has electric steering instead of the previous hydraulic system. The suspension is fairly stiff and somewhat unforgiving over poor roads so it's not the best for those wanting cushy-comfort rides. But overall not too bad of a ride on smooth and average roads. The interior is quite comfy, with great interior quality and attention to detail and pretty good seat, although the front passenger seat lacks some crucial lateral support, which I found rather strange. The rear seat is still tight, almost like the lifted the same one out the 1st-gen TSX an placed it here. Anyone over 5'11 won't be very happy back there. Interior tech is fantastic, with a standard iPod dock so I can rock out to my favorite songs. The navigation system works well and isn't overly complicated unlike most new cars these days. Controls are adequate as far as being easy to use. The trunk is actually pretty roomy for a sport compact. Exterior styling is great. I really dig the pointy front nose and flat minor rear decklid spoiler on the trunklid. Great job on the styling, Acura. The verdict: Acura has left me with a smile on my face and I'm satisfied with it's mild sporty character, great interior design, and sleek exterior styling. What a great value it represents. I greatly recommend it to someone who wants a nice sporty little car with intuitive interior tech, styling, and more. Thank you Acura.

2009 Acura TSX Base w/ Tech Pkg Review
For the price, maintenance and comfort of the car I felt that I stood toe-to-toe with any mid-size luxury sedan. Great car for young professionals.
My only con would be the 2009 GPS interface and the sound quality of the speakers. The new TSX seems to have improved in both those areas.
Great Car For Everyday Use — I have had this car for a year and not had one problem with it. It has been thoroughly reliable and has served me well. If I did not move to a city, I would have had this car for the long term.

Great Gas Mileage, Soft Perforated Leather Seats, Fun to drive, Powerful for a 4 Cylinder Engine
Paint chips too easily, Navigation/Center Screen has ALOT of glare, Could use a V6, Bucktooth front grille can take a while to get used to
09 Tsx — Bluetooth phone connection is amazing Leather seats have great support Powerful for a 4 cylinder engine Oil changes and maintenances can be costly Insurance for this car is costly Definitely a fun sports sedan Wished it had RWD instead of FWD

Acura TSX is smooth. The ride is smooth, the pick up speed is smooth.
A little small in the back seats. But quite nice exactly.
This Car Is Absolutely Perfect For Everyone Who Wants Fuel Efficient — I really like this car for routine activity. It's fast, cost efficient, pretty car. I love the color(gray) and the sunroof where can open it to enjoy the fresh air. This car's model is so sporty where it is so cool for daily uses.

Plastic interior.
This Car Is New To Me. — I've only had it for about a week, so I'll let you know later. So far, it drives nice, feels sporty, and accelerates well for a four-cylinder. It looks nice on the outside, but the interior feels a little cheap with a lot of plastic.

6-speed manual shifts smooth/ great sound system (Buy the optional subwoofer)
This Is A Great Car But It's Really Easy To Go Over The Speed Limit (unintentionally) — I love the car but the key fobs need work, when you hold unlock for three seconds it opens all the windows + sunroof but when you hold lock it won't close the windows you have to go in the car and manually close all the windows

New Start8 beta for Windows 8 released - Neowin
^ This is perfect, it's *exactly* the same as Windows 7's start menu and lets you boot to desktop.
I didn't really have a problem with Metro after I'd got stuff installed (windows 8 installed on my home machine for a week), but it's ultimately pointless on a desktop.

Welcome to Classic Shell - Its something called Classic Shell that puts a start menu on Windows 8. I've got Windows8 with this installed on a VM Box at work.
Oui, but that's more like XP's start menu (With the searching) than Vista/7's.

i personally don't think the learning curve for end users is sufficiently steep for business and schools to have to stick with windows 7. if anything the start screen makes more sense as a desktop replacement. maybe i'm off base with that, but i don't see why a user would want or need a start menu if the things that they need to get to can be presented in a non-cluttered fashion on the start screen. Plus, if there's group policies to control what's presented then what's the big deal. The other aspects of Windows 8 that don't require a learning curve like the faster boot up times, the ribbon, the UI effects [or lack of] are a bonus over windows 7.
by and large i can see schools going for either iPad or some variant of a windows 8 slate. That commonality of interface on windows devices is really important, even if there's some adjustment when using keyboard/mouse rather than touch. It can't be that big of a deal for schools to do phased roll out windows 8 onto desktops if they're providing win8 or RT slates to staff and pupils.

Exploration of great lakes navel history, from shipwrecks to lost villages beneath the ice.
The 1000 Islands is without question the world's best fresh water ship wreck diving site, and Arctic Kingdom is proud to offer a world-premiere opportunity to access the region via airboat. From picturesque islands, clear water, to literally hundreds of shipwrecks to choose from, the 1000 Island Region offers everything for anyone looking for an excellent cold water dive destination.
Under the ice, the visibility is crystal clear. From lost villages, to well-preserved shipwrecked schooners and incredible wall dives, explore the world's best, most pristine fresh water dive location.
- Ice dive from an air boat – a world's first and only offering
- Dive amongst the most varied ice conditions available outside of the arctic circle
- Dive in the St. Lawrence River when the water visibility is at it's best
- Historical, pristine, fresh-water wrecks
- Dive the "Lost Villages" – submerged locks, hydroelectric stations and more
- Pass by 100′s of picturesque islands – the most famous of which is Dark Island with the Singer Castle
- Multilevel dives from 10 to 33 meters under or near varied ice conditions
1000 Islands
Located along the eastern stretch of the St. Lawrence Seaway System, The 1000 Island Region is the the gateway of exploration and commerce from the Atlantic to Lake Superior. Nearly four thousand kilometers long, the seaway is is the longest inland waterway at in the world. Since the first explorers arrived from England and France, over 400 years ago, the mighty St. Lawrence River has claimed hundreds of schooners, barges, paddle wheelers and freight carriers. Shoals ripping hulls open, war time battles, ships purposely scuttled to prevent them getting in the hands of the enemy, to careless captain, rookie pilots, old age, storms and on board fires, fog, rain, wind and ice have all claimed their fair share of these wooden and steel vessels. The history of the St. Lawrence is preserved in its depths providing vast opportunities for exploration below the ice, when visibility is at it's best to see history up close.
Lost Villages
The St. Lawrence River is the only way for ocean freighter ships to reach the Great Lakes, transporting freight to a host of cities, including Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Toronto. To allow larger freighters through the river, it was necessary to raise the water level and to do so a lot of infrastructure along the old water level was lost.On Inundation Day, July 1, 1958, seventy thousand people watched as 30 tons of explosives were detonated, releasing 180 billion gallons of water through a cofferdam on the St. Lawrence River. The lives of local people were changed, and six villages and three hamlets were lost forever underneath the waters of newly created Lake St. Lawrence.
Among the impressive underwater sights, from sidewalks to old railbeds, there is also the old canal system with complete locks as well as a hydro electric station submerged below the surface.
Ice Diving by Airboat
Ice diving the St. Lawrence has not been offered until now. As it is a flowing river, with open water flowing between areas where the ice is solid – neither snowmobiles nor traditional boats could safely access the area. Arctic Kingdom is offering ice diving from an airboat – a vehicle that can travel both above the ice and through the water undeterred. This offers unprecedented access to the best freshwater wrecks at the time of year when visibility is at its best. Under the ice, the visibility is crystal clear. From lost villages to well-preserved shipwrecked schooners and incredible wall dives, explore the world's best, most pristine fresh water dive location.
Itinerary Brief
Day 1 – Arrival in Ottawa
Day 2 – Travel to ice dive facility – introductory ice dive
Day 3-5 – Daily Sorties via airboat to ice dive sites
Day 6 – Travel to Ottawa airport for flight home
Ice Reliability, Accessibility and Safety
Arctic Kingdom has led expeditions to the Arctic's most remote and demanding regions, providing training and support for film crews, scientists, and documentary photographers throughout the circumpolar regions. With decades of experience on and beneath the Arctic ice, we are able to provide training that replicates the Arctic diving experience in a region much closer to home.
The Arctic is home to a variety of conditions, from drifting pack ice to massive icebergs and huge pressure cracks. Traditional ice dive courses in the southern regions can only offer ice diving through a hole in a still water lake. Though sufficient to teach basic skills, this hole-in the-ice experience cannot compare with the variety and beauty to be found diving beneath the Arctic Ocean.
In Ontario's Thousand Islands, we have chosen a location with ice conditions similar to the Arctic, offering a wide range of training scenarios. Using our state-of-the-art airboat, you will able to experience ice that has never been accessed before, safely and reliably.
