Opening Lines: Buyers and cellars
The column: On a tastebud-tickling journey through the wine country south of Melbourne, Howard Jacobson remembers dims gone by
Howard Jacobson
Celebrated novelist Howard Jacobson's most recent novel is Man Booker-nominated 'J'. He has also written 'The Finkler Question', published to great acclaim in 2010. An acerbic critic and broadcaster with a passion for literature and art, he is known for his ebullient wit.
Saturday 14 November 1998
I would like to say I'm doing the Peninsula with a view to laying down a cellar, but I know myself better than that. I have bought a few zippy adolescent Merlots that will need to be kept for a couple of months (six weeks, anyway), but otherwise it's into the boot and down the hatch. You need to have the right personality to lay down wine. You need to be a mean bastard, for a start, capable of looking your dinner guests in the eye at 11.30 and saying "Do you really want me to open another bottle?"
There was none of that when all any of us could afford was Mateus Rose. We were generous when we were poor and knew from nothing.
It's sad, I have always found, buying wine from wineries. Wine country is invariably melancholy: undulating hills, long vistas across deep valleys, delusions of paradise, and those eternal avenues of cuffed and fettered vines, bound to their whipping posts like so many invitees to a surprise party for the Marquis de Sade. I can never get over the contrast between the cause and the effect of vineyards: such fanatic order in the preparation; such wild disorder in the polishing off. (Unless you're one of those self- denying bastards with a cellar, in which case it's discipline from start to finish.)
Spring on the Mornington Peninsula is heavenly when it's not hellish: the clouds high and blowy, the sun playing peek-a-boo through the trees, the bays whipped up to a vanilla froth. A grand time, if you can hold back the tears, to be out on a tasting safari. This is my second day. Yesterday I had my mother-in-law in tow. For a person who is usually content with flat Gulch Creek non-denominational white spritzed up with tap water she turned impressively picky, spitting out Decanter Magazine's choice for the best Semillon ever made anywhere. "Not herbaceous enough for me," she said. "An insufficiency of floral notes."
Since she lost her memory we have been keeping her sharp by appealing to her old gift for spelling words backwards. "What's Semillon backwards, Joy?"
"N, o, l - oh, goodness - l, i, m, e, s."
"And Gulch Creek?"
"K, e, e, r, c, h, c, l, u, g." Not a suggestion of a falter this time.
She knows what she likes, my mother-in-law.
Today, though, I am homo solus. Cricket on the radio, the roads at my mercy, my palate mine to tickle exactly as I please. The last time I had the state of Victoria all to myself like this I was working as a rep for Cheshire Educational Publishing. Twenty-seven years ago. Not many wineries in Victoria then. And not a hint of what Victorians now take for granted as winery food - char sui of Tasmanian salmon with glazed clementines and a vinaigrette of walnut and turnips; Mulataga yabby tails on a bed of warrigal greens and paperbark smoked with kumera with a lemon aspen dipping sauce.
Dim sim, that was what you ate in those days, the first Melburnian attempt at an Asian culinary crossover. A dim sim, if you have never tried one - and if you think it's the same as dim sum, then you have definitely never tried one - is a sort of shatterproof dumpling the shape and consistency of a severed thumb, filled with wood-shavings and rain-forest, and either deep-fried or steamed, depending on whether you want it to taste like a charred cricket ball or a roll of sticking plaster. The great thing about dim sims, from the point of view of a publishing rep with a vast territory to cover, was that they came drenched in soy sauce in a brown paper bag with a greaseproof lining, so you could eat them while you were driving. So what if the deep-fried ones took the skin off your fingers, if the soy sauce stained your lips love-bite purple, if you sometimes mistook the contents of the bag and bit into your own thumb - we were men in a hurry, and besides, there wasn't anything else.
Deem sum - Cantonese for "touch the heart". And the memory of a dim sim touches mine, for there is nothing that goes into the mouth that doesn't, in recollection, make you sad.
Dim simmed out at the end of a long day, I would pull into a motel restaurant and join the other reps for lobster thermidor washed down with a bottle of Chianti. If one of the reps happened to be a woman you would give her your straw Chianti flask to make a night-light out of. Also sad - all that wasted gallantry, all those needless night-lights.
It's funny I should be recalling this remote period in the history of Victorian wining, dining and publishing just as I am rolling into Stonier's Winery. More than funny, bloody heart-breaking. Because no sooner do I enter the grand corrugated iron winery and start to sniff the forest-floor Pinot than someone shorter, happier and perhaps even a little older than me, extends a hand and reminds me of the time we were book reps together.
My God, the coincidence, I tell him. I've just been dreaming about lobster thermidor.
"Then you'll be pleased to say hello to Brian Stonier again," he says.
"Brian Stonier my old boss from Cheshire Publishing or Brian Stonier whose vineyard this is?"
I know the answer before I've finished the question. There aren't two Brian Stoniers. The Brian Stonier of Stonier's Winery is the Brian Stonier who paid my wages.
Yes. And here he is, still with authority in his aspect, still executive chairman of Pan Macmillan, but best known in this neck of the wood for Pinot Noirs to die for.
"Books and wine!" we laugh together. The old nexus.
Two of life's three great consolations. The third being? A dim sim in soy sauce .

Home Improvement News: Remodel a room for the cost of a fill-up
By Paint Quality Institute
As prices at the pump remain high, it's making other things look downright cheap. One of them is interior painting. Always inexpensive, the cost of painting a room is now about the same as the cost of a fill-up.
According to Debbie Zimmer, spokesman for the Paint Quality Institute (PQI): "Even the highest-quality interior paint can be purchased for about $50 a gallon, which is often enough to paint a good-sized room, or even apply two coats to a small one. Throw in a brush, roller and paint pan, and the cost is still well under $100 — or roughly the cost of gassing up a minivan."
The affordability of interior painting has not escaped the attention of consumers, especially in relation to other home projects. In a recent PQI survey, 92 percent of the respondents said they were more likely to paint, rather than do other types of remodeling, given the current economic environment.
"Clearly, low cost is part of the appeal of interior painting, particularly at this point in time, but consumers also know that a fresh coat of paint can greatly beautify a room," Zimmer said. "That's the real secret to the popularity of painting — the ability to completely transform a space with minimal cost and effort."
If you're one of the many who are planning to paint this season, what should you know before you pick up brush and roller? Zimmer offered some advice.
"Good paint performance depends on good paint adhesion, and paint adheres best to surfaces that are clean and sound," she said.
So, before painting, remove dust and dirt from walls and other surfaces with a detergent-water solution. Rinse them clean, and allow them to dry. Fill cracks and holes with spackling compound, and sand them smooth after the compound dries. Prime stains with a stain-blocking primer to prevent the discoloration from bleeding through the new paint.
"It's also wise to use only high-quality brushes and rollers," Zimmer said. "They apply the paint more evenly and make application almost effortless."
When applying any latex paint, make sure the brushes and rollers have bristles and covers made of a synthetic material like polyester; they'll hold up better when exposed to water-based paint.
Most importantly, Zimmer recommended consumers use top-quality, 100-percent acrylic latex paints to make the work easier and to get the best long-term performance.
"In terms of application, top-quality paints spatter less, go on more easily, and tend not to show brush and roller marks," she said. "They also tend to cover the old color in fewer coats, which can save a lot of time, effort and money."
But the big payoff is the durability of these paints. According to Zimmer, they resist fading, yellowing and staining, and even if they do get stained, the discoloration can often be washed off, especially if a higher-gloss paint is used.
So, if the cost of gas has you perturbed, purchase some paint instead. You'll get a lot of mileage out of just a single gallon — very likely, enough to completely transform the appearance of a room in your home.

centre for democratic institutions The Role of Parliamentary Committees: Workshop for Members & Staff of the National Parliament of Timor-Leste Thursday 6th – Friday 7th March 2008 Parliament House, Dili The Centre for Democratic Institutions (CDI) conducted a workshop for Members and staff of the National Parliament of Timor-Leste at Parliament House in Dili on 6th and 7th March 2008. Held in conjunction with the International Republican Institute (IRI), the workshop focused on the role of parliamentary committees with an emphasis on engaging the community through committee work. This workshop followed on from the successful workshop on holding public hearings for Committee A of the Timorese Parliament that CDI and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) ran in November 2007.1 The workshop was held at the request of the President of the National Parliament of Timor-Leste, Mr Fernando Lasama de Araujo. The idea for the Workshop came from discussions between CDI Deputy Director, Mr Quinton Clements, the President of Parliament, his senior officers and Committee Chairs on future strengthening activities for the second National Parliament that CDI could facilitate. One aspect of these discussions was both the President's strong interest and that of Committee Chairs in assisting the newly appointed Chairs with training on working with Parliamentary Committees. Mr Clements described the previous CDI workshops on Parliamentary Committees for the Bougainville House of Representatives and the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea in 2007. The President and Committee Chairs believed that type of specialized training for both Members and staff would be valuable. This was the fourth in an ongoing series of in-country training workshops for Members and staff of national and sub-national legislatures that CDI has been conducting.2 The successful formula involves: • addressing a specific capacity building need – in this case, committee work; • tailoring the program to specific local circumstances; • using a combination of Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Islands parliamentarians/ parliamentary officers as presenters; and • developing a highly interactive program focused on practical outcomes. 1 Committee A (Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Justice, Public Administration, Local Government & Government Legislation). The workshop was held in Dili on 15-16 November 2007. 2 Previous workshops on the work of parliamentary committees were conducted for the Autonomous Region of Bougainville House of Representatives, Buka, 28-29 June 2007; National Parliament of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby, 9-10 November 2007; and Committee A, National Parliament of Timor-Leste, Dili, 15-16 November 2007. 1 The reason both CDI and the parliaments it assists have chosen to focus on developing their committee systems is that like parliaments all over the world they have realised that a strong and effective committee system is one of the best means through which they can play meaningful roles in the governance of their countries. The aim of this workshop, therefore, was to assist the National Parliament with ensuring that its parliamentary committees can perform their proper roles. Members gained a greater appreciation of the value of parliamentary committees: as a means of 'taking Parliament to the people', thus enabling them to be better informed about community views; of providing a bridge between their constituents' concerns and the broader community interest; of promoting public debate; and of scrutinising the Executive and contributing towards better government through a more informed administration and policy making process. Workshop Participants CDI Deputy Director, Quinton Clements, convened the workshop, together with: • Mr Tim Barnett - MP for Christchurch Central and Chief Government Whip, Parliament of New Zealand; • Mr David Kusilifu – Committee Secretariat, National Parliament of Solomon Islands; and • Mr Repe Rambe – Committee Secretary, Public Accounts Committee, National Parliament of Papua New Guinea. Mr Chris Wyrod and Mr Karlito Nunes of IRI provided the on-the-ground logistical support. 45 of the 65 Members of Parliament participated in the two day workshop with good representation from both government and opposition parties. The media were invited to attend the first day. Background The Timor-Leste Parliament has two types of parliamentary committees – standing committees and ad hoc committees – provided for in the Rules of Procedure of the Parliament. Standing committees are established for the life of the Parliament. The role of the standing committees is to examine and advise the Plenary on draft legislation, amendments and treaties, consider petitions, and undertake inquiries. There are currently nine standing committees. These are: • Committee A – Constitutional Affairs, Justice, Public Administration, Local Government & Government Legislation • Committee B – Foreign Affairs, Defence & National Security • Committee C – Economy, Finance & Anti-Corruption • Committee D – Agriculture, Fisheries, Forests, Natural Resources & Environment • Committee E – Elimination of Poverty, Rural & Regional Development & Gender Equality • Committee F – Health, Education & Culture • Committee G – Infrastructure & Social Equipment • Committee H – Youth, Sports, Labour & Professional Training • Committee I – Internal Regulations, Ethics & Mandate of Deputies 2 Ad Hoc committees are established to perform a specific task and once the task is completed, the committee is dissolved. Under the Rules of Procedure, Committees meet every Wednesday and Thursday when Parliament is in session. This has posed some constraints to the current Parliament, since MPs from smaller parties belong to more than one Standing Committee and therefore are not able to attend all meetings at the same time. This has implications for achieving quorum at meetings. The Workshop The workshop program was based on sharing the experiences of other parliaments in the region, specifically those of Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, with the East Timorese parliamentarians. The first day was devoted to presentations on the Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Islands experience of working with parliamentary committees followed by question and answer sessions. The parliamentarians then broke up into small groups to consider three themes – what makes effective committee membership, are the current operational processes for the Timorese parliamentary committees best serving the needs of those committees, and procedural issues such as the powers of committees and protecting witnesses. The Vice President of the National Parliament, Mr Vicente da Silva Guterres, officially opened the workshop. He outlined the reasons why the Workshop was being held, and the benefits to individual Members and to the Parliament he expected from it. Mr Clements then spoke about the role of CDI, introduced the members of the team and outlined the program. All of the Members present were then asked to introduce themselves. Mr Barnett then gave a presentation on the business of Parliament from a New Zealand perspective. He started by outlining his own experience as a politician. He then proceeded to identify the key eternal outcomes of a Parliament, the key current trends in the NZ parliamentary process and the factors that prevent high quality parliamentary democracy being delivered. Mr Barnett's presentation was followed by the screening of a short video provided by the Australian Parliament – "Committees in the Community". Mr Kusilifu introduced the next session on the elements that underlie effective committees. He began by describing the role committees can play and the challenges they will face in trying to do so. He then outlined several key points about the parliamentary committee system in Solomon Islands. He explained how committees can be informed and productive, be heard and seen, give the public the confidence to have their say, debate well and reach consensus and be high-profile and integrated with the House. Mr Rambe spoke of the experience with committees in the PNG National Parliament, in particular how the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has become more active in recent years. He described the work undertaken to strengthen the Public Accounts Committee, the achievements so far and the challenges they currently face. It was clear that these sessions focusing on the parliaments and committee systems of Solomon Islands and PNG particularly impressed the East Timorese participants. They provided a concrete, regional example of what was possible and practical in strengthening Parliament and its committees. The presentations by Mr Kusilifu and Mr Rambe provoked numerous questions and considerable discussion. 3 The next session involved the participants breaking into smaller groups to consider the potential contributions of committees to the work of the Parliament and the obstacles committees face in their work. In the general discussion that followed, participants shared a range of ideas on the value of parliamentary committees and how to make their committees work effectively including: • The need for appropriate funding and resources; • The need for well trained staff; • A greater commitment from all Members; and • The need to develop effective procedures for all committees. The final session of Day One involved all the presenters describing good practice in a range of areas of committee work. The presenters noted the importance of bipartisanship and consensus in committee work, the role of the Committee Chair, holding manageable inquiries, using external assistance for inquiries, properly preparing for hearings, and producing evidence based reports. The day two sessions were focused on taking the Timorese parliamentarians through a typical inquiry process – establishing an inquiry, planning, collecting written and oral evidence, and reporting back to the Plenary. Each session involved a practical exercise including the holding of a mock public hearing using a script prepared by the Legislative Council of New South Wales. Participants were shown examples of good committee practice including television footage of public hearings as part of the Solomon Islands Public Accounts Committee's inquiry into the 2007 budget appropriations. Mr Clements also discussed the issue of witness protection, using the example of the David Kelly Affair in the UK to illustrate how committees can potentially affect the lives of witnesses. Conclusion CDI worked closely with the IRI Dili office in preparing for the workshop. IRI in effect represented CDI on the ground in Dili and liaised closely with the Director of the Parliament Secretariat, Mr Joao Rui Amaral, and the Chief of Staff to the President of Parliament, Mr Marcelino Magno, on CDI's behalf. There were a number of challenges CDI faced in organising and conducting this particular workshop. Firstly, unlike Pacific region parliaments which are modelled on the Westminster system, the East Timorese Parliament has a different structure, procedures and political culture. Accordingly, in designing the workshop, CDI had to tailor the program to these local circumstances. Mr Clements had to ensure the presenters were aware of the different context in which the audience they were working with operated. Secondly, the workshop had to be conducted in the local language, Tetum. All presentations and handouts were translated into Tetum and simultaneous translation into Tetum was provided for all sessions. One of the lessons learnt from this workshop is that the scenarios for practical exercises should be drawn from local examples. Unfortunately, the participants had difficulty using the script from the Legislative Council of NSW for the public hearing role play exercise. Although it had been translated into Tetum, the scenario involving an inquiry into the Cross-City Tunnel in Sydney and the procedural issues it raised were not well suited to the East Timorese situation. Nonetheless, it did provide one example of how committees in another jurisdiction operate. 4 The other challenge CDI faced was the lack of cooperation from the major parliamentary strengthening organisation present in Dili, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The UNDP have a Parliamentary Support Project located at the National Parliament, funded in large part by AusAid. Mr Clements had discussed the possibility of a joint CDI-UNDP committees training workshop with the UNDP Project Manager, Ms Marcia Monge, in 2007. Early in 2008, Ms Monge informed Mr Clements that the UNDP Project would be unable to partner CDI in the planned workshop but welcomed CDI's initiative and offered to assist where possible. However, upon arrival in Dili CDI learnt that all UNDP Project staff had been instructed not to cooperate with or assist either CDI or the Parliament Secretariat with this workshop. Although Mr Clements subsequently met with Ms Monge to discuss CDI-UNDP collaboration on this and future activities, it was most unfortunate that the UNDP chose to adopt that position on this occasion. Notwithstanding these challenges, the workshop was extremely well received by the parliamentarians and staff. Feedback from participants was that the workshop addressed the many operational and procedural issues they were grappling with. There were many achievements including encouraging all the Timorese parliamentarians to sit together outside of their party groupings for the first time to discuss the issues and problems confronting their parliament. Having Mr Kusilifu and Mr Rambe involved in the workshop proved invaluable as there is considerable interest on the part of the East Timorese parliamentarians in the way the Papua New Guinean and Solomon Islands parliaments work. Once again, CDI used a highly interactive program very much based on the input of the Timorese Parliament as to the issues Members wanted addressed. Each of the presenters used an inclusive approach in getting their messages across and engaging with the audience. As a result, the sessions generated lively discussion and numerous questions from participants. All participants exhibited a genuine desire to learn about committee practice and procedure and gain a better understanding of how to make the East Timorese parliamentary committees function more effectively. The participants expressed great enthusiasm for the workshop and the approach taken. Feedback from the participants has been overwhelmingly positive. It was evident that the Members could see the benefits of committee work and would implement many of the lessons learnt in their own committees. At the conclusion of Day Two, the Vice-President of Parliament, Mr Vicente da Silva Guterres, expressed his gratitude to CDI for organizing and conducting the Workshop. He thanked CDI for putting together a professional team of facilitators with many years of parliamentary experience. This was the second CDI activity in Dili for the National Parliament. The successful delivery of this program will greatly assist in future CDI Timor-Leste focused activities. Acknowledgements The workshop would not have been successful without the active involvement and support of the Members of the Timor-Leste Parliament, the Parliament Secretariat and the office of the President of Parliament. CDI extends its deepest appreciation to the President of Parliament, Mr Fernando Lasama de Araujo, the Director of the Parliament Secretariat, Mr Joao Rui Amaral, the Chief of Staff to the President of Parliament, Mr Marcelino Magno, and their staff for their generous assistance, advice and hospitality. 5 CDI is especially grateful for the enthusiastic participation of the Members of Parliament. CDI also acknowledges the kind assistance and support of the Parliaments of Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. A special note of appreciation goes to Mr Chris Wyrod and Mr Karlito Nunes of IRI and their staff for managing all the logistical arrangements. CDI greatly appreciates the involvement of the presenters – Mr Barnett, Mr Rambe and Mr Kusilifu - in the workshop. Without their genuine interest, enthusiasm, patience, extraordinary skill as facilitators and presenters and deep knowledge of parliaments, the workshop would not have been the success it clearly was. 6

2006 Land Rover LR3 Q&A
2006 Land Rover LR3 Question: brake and rotors
when replacing brakes, do you need to replace the rotors as well or can you have them resurfaced? - reguy
2 Answers
Answer 2
There is a minimum allowable thickness for rotors so they'll need to be measured. Many newer cars have a softer rotor material compared to the brake pad material and it's not uncommon to need rotors with pads. If there is enough material (thickness) in the rotors, they can usually be machined. Policies on machining rotors depends on the brand of vehicle in many cases - Andy Y

Flint is the birthplace of General Motors and is second only to Detroit in auto production. It continues to see its fortunes rise and fall with the auto industry, and recent problems at GM and parts maker Delphi have weighed down the modest resurgence the city saw in the past few years. The city's lowest point, in the 1980's, was the focus of a documentary film Roger & Me, which depicted the effects of 30,000 lost jobs on the local economy and social fabric.
Flint continues to work to build a broader economic base. There is a small but proud base of cultural attractions including an orchestra and other performing arts, plus a few quality museums. Cost of living and housing are low.
The city is located in the Flint River Valley in the center of Genesee County. The surrounding terrain is generally level with some hills 15 miles southeast of the city.

Winter is normally the driest season. Although snowfall is occasionally heavy, most occurs as frequent light flurries. Winter months are marked by considerable cloudiness and high humidity, while summer humidity is usually not excessive and sunshine is plentiful. Weather changes are frequent. First freeze is early October, last is early May.
As of 2014, Genesee County's population is 425,337 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of -2.48 percent.
The median home cost in Genesee County is $73,700. Home appreciation the last year has been 7.30 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Genesee County's cost of living is 19.80% Lower than the U.S. average.
Genesee County public schools spend $11,821 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 23 students per teacher in Genesee County.
The unemployment rate in Genesee County is 7.80 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Positive. Genesee County jobs have Increased by 0.69 percent.

Some Nostalgia
We took the kids to one of the few operational drive in theaters left in the U.S.
Not as awesome as I remember but still fun. The picture was dim and the bugs were plentiful. The weather was perfect though. We didn't have a lot of options so we watched San Andreas.
I was taken against my will by my posse. We packed up the house and took off for parts unknown. We drove and drove for hours and only got out once in a smelly truck stop, where I was again called upon to defend the woman of our pack. She always wants to walk around all those big smelly trucks to find a postage size piece of grass where 400 other animals have pee'd and she expects me to go there? At least it's sunny and dry here, I'm sick of all that rain and thunder back ...
Texas Time
Good evening from Abilene, Texas. Well, it was a longish day and we traveled 383 miles and lost an hour as we were greeted to the Central Time Zone upon entering Texas.
We started the day at the KOA in Carlsbad but after breakfast we headed up to Roswell. NM, about an hour north of where we started. Roswell became famous for a reported UFO crash landing in July 1947 in which the government allegedly secreted away the bodies of aliens ...
Visiting Kay and Family
... we had breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then went to Wally World to pick up stuff to make brunswick stew and corn souffle for everyone. After they visited for awhile and played some games, and I watched a couple of football games, we had a tasty dinner, and then said our goodbyes.
Arizona Trip, Day 10
... around the trailer is a must. Well, today, we noticed that the bumper on the trailer was "broken" at the weld. Seems like our bikes on the bumper were too heavy, or the constant "bouncing" because of the rough roads was a no no. So... What's the solution? Take the bikes off. Good thing we had room in the truck. That is where the bikes will now travel for the rest of our trip. Had a good night sleep after all ...

RIP(Rest In Pieces)
One of Piconjo's best pieces.
It's a shame he didn't continue the storyline on to reveal the true face of Nazigrounds.
For those reviewers who think this was actually about Nazis? It wasn't. It's a satirical jab at Newgrounds in whole. "Wadolf," in specific, is a jab at Wade Fulp. So no, you're right, R0man, Hitler did not die that way. Wadolf, however, did.
As for the Toadies? They're you, me, and every other Newgrounds voter.
Come back to us, Piconjo! Newgrounds misses your scathing, satirical humor!
R.I.P. Livecorpse. Here's hoping you've found the peace you never did while you were still alive and kickin'.
Remember, Newgrounds: Piconjo <3's j00

All right guys, things got a bit heated yesterday and people started posting personal details and threatening violence. I've never had to shut down comments before, but I had to do it yesterday. I'm opening up comments again, but keep it sensible please. If it gets stupid again, I'll shut it down for good.
Okay guys, this is a very controversial topic. Here's the unedited footage of the Steve Nogas incident.
What seems to have happened is that the driver Steve Nogas was told he was disqualified for reason stemming back to his qualifying burnout (disobeying a fire mashal), he forced his car through a group of officials and on to the track, and after the burnout he was escorted from the track and his car towed away.
Could have been handled a little better from both sides, but forcing your way on to the track is definitely the wrong way to go.
I've posted this video to provide a little clarity to the incident.
Summernats statement 11/01/2012
11 January 2012
There was an incident at the burnout track on Sunday 8/1/12 involving entrant Steve Nogas in NUKINFUTS. Steve was seen to forcibly drive his car through officials who were instructing him not to drive at the time, and then did an unauthorised burnout.
He was removed by security at the end of his drive and was immediately given a life-time ban by management.
The incident was witnessed first hand by Summernats management including the owners.
The owners said "We made the immediate life-time ban decision for two reasons. The first and most important reason was we saw a guy place our burnout management team in great physical danger. We were very upset by that. Second, we were furious that all our efforts to establish burnouts as a legitimate motor sport could have been ruined in one moment. This is not just about the Summernats. There are a lot of people out there who want to see burnout events banned across Australia, and all competitors and event promoters alike have a responsibility to protect this awesome sport."
Summernats management has reviewed both the incident and the punishment post event, consulting the rules and taking submissions from burnout track officials and the driver.
Following this process, the Summernats have revised their decision and have released their official position.
"Steve Nogas' life time ban has been suspended on review. He is however banned as an entrant from Summernats 26. As such, Steve is ineligible to enter as a competitor at Summernats 26. However, the Burnout Chief Marshall has invited Steve to make amends with the burnout crew and work alongside them at Summernats 26. This will give Steve a better appreciation of the issues facing officials managing this sport."
Summernats gave the following reason for the review.
"Our own assessment of the rules led us to the opinion there was no explicit statement about life bans for such behaviour. As such, we felt it was only fair to review the decision. We took into account the fact that Steve has since been extremely apologetic about what he did and has accepted complete responsibility for his actions. He has made several public and private statements expressing his regret. We also considered the intent of his actions. Whilst the consequences could have been severe, we accepted Steve's statement that there was no intent or premeditation to his actions. The one year ban is a consensus decision between Summernats management and the burnout competition chief steward. Steve has gratefully accepted this decision.
"The Summernats stands by the actions of our burnout crew. Our crew do an incredible job under very trying conditions. Their primary mission is to maintain the safety of competitors and the audience. Our burnout crew do a superb job and should be commended for their professionalism.
"We have learnt important lessons from this incident, and Summernats will be taking a number of measures to ensure this doesn't happen again."
Steve Nogas says, "What I've done there is totally out of character for me and totally wrong for any entrant to do. I'm deeply sorry for the way I conducted myself."
Summernats management stated, "We want to be very clear. The only reason we re-considered the decision was that our rules were not explicit on life-time bans. Moving forward, the rules will be very explicit. If a driver deliberately and maliciously ignores the instructions of officials on the start line of the burnout pad placing them and the competition in jeopardy, that driver will receive a life-time ban. Apologies after the fact will not be considered. Now we all know the rules, and these will be very clearly laid out in the Participation Guide for Summernats 26 and beyond."

The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement
In this intriguing, readable business novel, which illustrates state-of-the-art economic theory, Alex Rogo is a UniCo plant manager whose factory and marriage are failing. To revitalize the plant, he follows piecemeal advice from an elusive former college professor who teaches, for example, that reduction in the efficiency of some plant operations may make the entire operation more productive. Alex's attempts to find the path to profitability and to engage his employeesi n the struggle involve the reader; and thankfully the authors' economic models, including a game with match sticks and bowls, are easy to understand. Although some characters are as anonymous as the goods manufactured in the factory, others ring true. In addition, the tender story of Alex and his wife's separation and reconciliation makes a touching contrast to the rest of the book. Recommended for anyone with an interest in the state of the American economy.

Ran across this name today. I've never heard it before, but am very intrigued by it. Pronounced geh-ZEE-nuh, it is supposedly a German diminutive of Gertrude. It's the name of Sandra Bullock's sister and a few other contemporary Germans. Anyone have opinions on or experience with this name? Would it work in the English-speaking world (possibly spelled Gesina)?Mommy to Rosamund Hazel March 2011, Elowen Louise June 2013, & Barrett Irwin Gregory due July 2015

I read it and would have pronounced it like jesseen. I think it would be nice pronounced that way, too bad I'm wrong. In English, I guess it would make it easier for other people to cue them to the correct pronunciation by spelling it Gesina.

I, like mimiottawa, first pronounced it in my head as "Jez-een", which I liked better. Not too fond of the correct pronunciation, and it would be one of those where the bearer would be correcting people her whole life. Unless she lived in Germany I guess. Reminds me of gazebo. Gasina or Gazina would more easily get the pronunciation you're looking for.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
