Paracon Australia 2015 is taking pace at the iconic Blue Mountains Hotel The Carrington in Katoomba.
The Carrington has a long and rich history spanning almost a century and a quarter since her establishment by Sydney hotelier Harry Rowell.
Opened in 1883 as The Great Western, this Grand Old Lady soon became a popular mountain retreat for international visitors, the elite of Sydney and those eager to see the natural wonders of the Blue Mountains.
Renamed 'The Carrington' in 1886, in honour of the then Governor of New South Wales, Lord Carrington, the hotel was extended by its new owner, Mr F C Goyder.
The Carrington remained popular as ever through the 1950's and 60's and was bought by Theo Morris, a developer, in 1968. Despite the dwindling popularity of the Mountains in the 70's and the toll taken by time on the Hotel, her loyal clientele kept her afloat for nearly twenty more years.
The Carrington closed her doors in late 1985 and remained empty and derelict until 1991 when it was purchased with the aim of restoring and relaunching this Grand Old Lady of the Mountains.
The Carrington reopened her doors in December 1998 after eight years of restoration, and works are continuing on the restoration of the gardens, garages, stables, and powerhouse.

Shia LaBeouf in the buff for Sigur Ros video
FILE- In this May 19, 2012, file photo, actor Shia LaBeouf poses during a photo call for Lawless at the 65th international film festival, in Cannes, southern France. Sigur Ros' new video "Fjogur Piano" released Monday, June, 18, features LeBeouf. The video was directed by Alma Har'el and is part of a series of videos being created for the band's latest album "Valtari." (AP Photo/Francois Mori, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — If Sigur Ros' (SEE'-uhr rohs's) new video were a movie, it might merit an NC-17 rating.
For the band's clip of "Fjogur Piano" released Monday, "Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf (SHY'-uh luh-BUHF') appears naked.
Alma Har'el (HAH-rel) directed the video. It is part of a series being created for the band's latest album "Valtari." The video also features female nudity, dancing, an octopus, lollipops and trippy images.
Band bassist Georg Holm said the director and LaBeouf collaborated on the idea for it. Holm described it as "absolutely amazing."
Videos don't come with ratings. But the Sigur Ros video does have a warning for its content before it begins.

African Unrest Puts Europe's Gas at Risk as Oil Gains
The unrest in Egypt that forced BG Group Plc and Statoil ASA to stop drilling threatens a region that represents more than 15 percent of Europe's natural gas supply and 4 percent of the world's crude oil.
No disruptions to gas pipeline shipments under the Mediterranean Sea or to oil tankers through the Suez Canal have been reported so far in North Africa after popular unrest erupted last month. Concern pushed Brent crude oil on Jan. 31 to more than $100 a barrel for the first time since 2008.
Algeria, the third-largest gas supplier to Europe, last month suffered riots over food prices similar to those that kicked off a broader protest in Tunisia and toppled President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali on Jan. 14. In Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak failed yesterday to quell protests after saying he will step down later this year after almost 30 years in power, about 10 years less than Muammar Qaddafi has held sway in Libya.
"It's especially southern Europe that's exposed to a supply halt from Algeria and Libya," said Thina Saltvedt, an analyst at Nordea Markets in Oslo. "As Europe's third-largest gas supplier, unrest in Algeria would especially put southern Europe's security of supply to the test."
Algeria and Libya combined export about 70 billion cubic meters of gas, or about 15 percent of the EU's annual consumption. The two members of the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries also pump a combined 2.8 million barrels a day of crude, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Suez Canal
Egypt pumped 742,000 barrels of crude a day and 62.7 billion cubic meters of gas in 2009, according to BP Plc data.
Egypt's Suez Canal is the main artery for shipping more than 2.2 million barrels of oil a day headed for Europe and North America. Last year 368 liquid-natural gas vessels also went through the Suez to the Mediterranean carrying 30.3 million tons of the fuel, according to PanEurasian Enterprises Inc.
Egypt produces about 3 percent of the world's LNG from two export plants at Gas Natural SDG SA's Damietta and BG's Idku LNG facilities, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Energy Intelligence Group's World LNG Review.
"Any supply disruption will certainly impact the balance of the European gas market, potentially putting upward pressure on natural gas prices," Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts including Alejandro Demichelis said in a report this week.
Brent oil for March settlement traded at $101.68 a barrel, down 6 cents, on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London as of 7:24 a.m. It gained 0.7 percent to $101.74 yesterday, the highest settlement since Sept. 26, 2008.
Little Disruption
The month-ahead gas for delivery at the Dutch Title Transfer Facility has slipped 14 percent this year to about 21.15 euros a megawatt-hour. The TTF is the most liquid mainland European gas hub. The equivalent U.K. gas contract, the most traded market in Europe, has fallen 14 percent this year.
So far, there has been little disruption in supplies to Italy from Algeria via the Transmed pipeline from Tunisia. The link flowed at a rate of about 87 million cubic meters a day on Jan. 31, according to Snam Rete Gas SpA, Italy's pipeline operator. Algeria also ships through the Maghreb Europe pipeline to Spain, while Libya sends fuel through a link to Sicily. Algeria may also open the Medgaz pipeline to Spain this month.
"It's important to emphasize that even if the problems spread to one of these countries it is not necessarily the case that energy supplies would be disrupted," Goldman analysts led by Jeffrey Currie in London said in a weekly note on Jan. 31. "History has shown that energy can still flow even under very adverse political conditions."
All Arab countries except Lebanon and Iraq are classified as authoritarian regimes in the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2010 Democracy Index. Egypt, Algeria and Libya rank in the bottom half, below 65th-placed Tunisia, in the latest survey of corruption perceptions in 180 nations by Transparency International in Berlin.
According to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Austria's OMV AG, Repsol YPF SA, and Eni SpA, have the largest exposure to "political risk" in North Africa. OMV and Repsol have about 20 percent of their reserves in North Africa and Yemen, while Eni has 17 percent, according to the U.S. bank.
"As far as we're concerned it's a problem in Egypt, and we're experiencing no problems there at all," Kristian Rix, a Repsol spokesman, said by phone from Madrid this week.
No Impact
The unrest in Tunisia and Egypt has "no impact on our business activities at the moment," Michaela Huber, a spokeswoman for OMV in Vienna, said by phone on Jan. 31. She declined to comment on potential developments.
In Egypt, BG and Statoil halted drilling as the protests began to take a toll on the industry. Apache Corp., which got about a third of its production revenue from Egypt in 2009, said it shut its Cairo offices. Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Transocean Inc. also closed offices. BP, the largest foreign investor in Egypt, made plans to evacuate the families of expatriate workers.
BP is also the biggest investor in Algeria, according to its website. The company is seeking to raise money to pay for the cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico after the Macondo spill, and Algeria's government said last month it's examining the possibility that assets in the country may be part of that sale.
Three people were killed and 420 injured in clashes with police this month in Algeria during rallies against high food prices and a lack of public housing. Three men set themselves on fire, emulating the Tunisian university graduate whose self-immolation a month ago began the wave of demonstrations that culminated in the fall of Ben Ali, El Khabar newspaper reported.
A surge in food and energy costs is stoking inflation in emerging markets and causing riots that may topple governments, said Nouriel Roubini, the New York University economist who predicted the financial crisis, in an interview with Bloomberg Television's "The Pulse" on Jan. 26.

News Release
"Operation Serpent" leads to Fines and Jail Time
NEWMARKET, Ont. -- November 14, 2012 -- A joint Environment Canada and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources operation has resulted in significant penalties against two defendants convicted of the unlawful sale, exportation and inter-provincial transport of live Snakehead fish.
1240197 Ontario Inc., operating as Lucky Aquarium in Markham, and an employee of Lucky Aquarium, Mr. Muk Leung (Jimmy) Ip of Toronto, each pleaded guilty in the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket to two charges under the federal Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act (WAPPRIITA) of illegally exporting an invasive species, Snakehead fish (Channidae) to the United States and illegally transporting Snakehead fish from Ontario to Manitoba. Lucky Aquarium and Mr. Ip also pleaded guilty to four counts under the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997, of illegally selling Snakehead fish.
Lucky Aquarium was ordered to pay a total of $75,030 in fines and surcharges with an additional $1,250 to be paid for the publication of notices that warn of the dangers of invasive species, and outline the potential penalties for those who defy the law. Lucky Aquarium was also sentenced to two years of probation.
During probation, Lucky Aquarium must meet stringent requirements for reporting imports, exports, and sales of fish to Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
On November 9, 2012, Mr. Ip was sentenced to two 60-day jail terms to be served concurrently, followed by two years of probation and will pay $1,250 towards the warning publication referenced above.
Lucky Aquarium and Mr. Ip were charged on June 5, 2012, by Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources at the conclusion of a 12-month joint-forces undercover operation dubbed "Operation Serpent" by Environment Canada.
As a result of the joint-forces operation, Mr. Ip received a penalty of $13,000 for related charges brought by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation Police.

Summer is officially upon us. You may be noticing yourself having more energy, feeling more social, or experiencing all-around better moods. This is normal for this time of year, when, from an acupuncture perspective, the yang -- extroverted, lively, enthusiastic, active -- aspects of a person are at their peak.
In acupuncture theory, humans are viewed as microcosms of the natural world that surrounds them. Weather and climate, particularly during the transition from one season to another, factor significantly into diagnoses and treatment plans. Each season is linked with a natural element, organ and emotion.
The element, organ and emotion of summer are, respectively, Fire, heart and joy. So, how does this influence the way we feel in summertime?
Do You Like to Play With Fire?
How we feel during summer is largely determined by our constitutional expression of the Fire element.
We all know people who can run around on 90-degree days with plenty of energy to spare. Often, these people are high-energy, charismatic, communicative, optimistic and alert. They have a playful attitude, enjoy intimacy, and are quick to connect with others. This is the profile of a Fire-type person.
Then there are those people who constantly complain about the heat, and spend June through September feeling lethargic and fatigued. They may be perceived as selfish, distant and introverted, becoming easily overwhelmed by too much socialization or noise. This is the profile of someone with an under-expressed or deficient Fire element.
The acupuncture perspective on seasons is that during each season, the associated element should shine a bit brighter than it does in other seasons. So for example, in summer, Fire qualities tend to be more strongly expressed.
Over the next three months, it's normal to feel an extra pep in your step. You should feel a bit happier, freer, more spontaneous, energetic and connected. You should want to stay up a little later, talk a little longer and run a little farther.
If you're someone who tends toward under-expression of the Fire element, you'll want to pay extra attention to encouraging these qualities in yourself throughout summer.
However, if you're a Fire type, someone for who Fire qualities come naturally -- or perhaps have a tendency to be overpowering -- your focus should be on appreciating these things but remembering to keep them in check. Elemental qualities can more easily become excessive during the time when they are naturally in bloom.
Here are seven acupuncture-inspired pointers for maintaining a balanced Fire element, and staying happy and healthy, all summer long.
By remaining active during summer, you work in accordance with the extra Yang energy that's available to us this time of year. Also, since the Fire element is associated with the Heart system (which includes but is not limited to cardiac function as we think of it in biomedicine), summer is a good time to pay attention to heart health. Exercise keeps blood and oxygen circulating so that proper nutrients can make their way to the rest of your body. Fire types should be cautious about overdoing it with exercise, especially on very hot days or at signs of excessive sweating or face flushing.
Characteristics of the Fire element include connection, intimacy, communication and joy. What better way to tap into these qualities than spending time with friends? So have that BBQ, hit that pool party, organize a day at the beach. Nurturing connections during summer not only makes the season more fun, but it also helps ease the transition into fall and winter, when we tend to pull inward and spend more time alone.
Friends are fun, but so are strangers! During the summer months, you may find yourself more inclined to smile at someone in the grocery aisle or spend a few extra minutes chatting up the postman. Again, connection is important this time of year, so if you have the urge to strike up a conversation with someone you don't know, go for it. It's just your natural Fire coming out to play.
Every element has an associated emotion and expression of that emotion. Fire's is joy and laughter. When you're hanging with friends or strangers this summer, crack jokes, appreciate theirs, tell funny stories, then tell them again. Keeping the laughter flowing will keep your Fire burning bright.
In general, acupuncture favors warm foods -- that is, foods with warm properties, not necessarily warm from a temperature standpoint. They are thought to ease the digestive process by causing your system to relax and more easily break down food. Cold foods, in contrast, cause contraction and stagnation, which means your body has to work a lot harder to digest. Summer, however, is the one time of year when it's okay to cool things down diet-wise. It's not license to chug ice water all day and eat raw salad at every meal, but cooler fare such as watermelon, cucumber and tofu may be better tolerated in summer.
All of acupuncture's natural elements keep each other in balance, but perhaps none have a more complementary relationship than Fire and Water. Maintaining balance between the Heart (Fire) and Kidney (Water) systems is especially crucial because they represent opposite ends of the continumm in terms of how we perceive reality -- Heart/Fire is responsible for the way we interface with the external world while Kidney/Water is about our inner life and ancestral/genetic identity. Since in summer there is a natural exaggerated expression of Fire/Heart qualities, being physically near water can be a grounding experience that reminds us of the interconnectedness within and around us.
With school out, sun shining into the evenings, and social events revving up, sometimes sleep is the last thing on our minds in summer. It's natural to sleep fewer hours when daylight is so abundant, but rest should still be a priority, especially since many of us move and sweat more than usual this time of year. Also, sleep in acupuncture is a function of the Heart, the organ of summer. Keeping a regular sleep schedule helps prevent disruption in this aspect of the Heart system, which is prone to imbalance during summer.
The driving principles behind all of these tips are awareness and balance. Know that summer is a time to allow your Fire element to flourish while remaining mindful that the flames, for some, may need to be tamed. With that, happy summer!

Los Angeles Anglels designated hitter Raul Ibanez (28) hits a single against the New York Yankees during the first inning of a game at Yankee Stadium. / Brad Penner, USA TODAY Sports
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Raul Ibanez's first opportunity to be an everyday major league player came with the Kansas City Royals.
Returning to the Royals more than a decade later, his hope is for another experience: postseason play.
The Royals signed the 42-year-old Ibanez Monday, nine days after he was released by the Los Angeles Angels.
"It's been in the works for a while. I was really excited about the opportunity to come here. I like the makeup of the club, and I like the possibilities. They're endless," Ibanez said in Minnesota before the Royals played the Twins. "There's a great opportunity to do some special things here."
The Royals entered Monday 3 1/2 games behind first-place Detroit in the AL Central and 1 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot. Manager Ned Yost said he'll probably play Ibanez in the outfield, at first base and as the designated hitter.
"He's what we call a professional hitter," Yost said. "So we think he's going to be a big addition to our team."
Ibanez, the second-oldest active player in the majors behind Cleveland's Jason Giambi, who is on the disabled list, batted just .157 in 57 games for the Angels. Though 10 of his 26 hits were for extra bases, he said his balance was "totally off" at the plate.
"I'm just going to be myself and try to help this team any way I can," Ibanez said.
This is his fifth team since 2011. Ibanez hit 29 home runs just last year for Seattle, the team that he broke in with in 1996. He didn't regularly crack the lineup until joining the Royals in 2001, and in 2002 he had his breakout year with a .294 batting average, 37 doubles, 24 home runs and 103 RBIs in 137 games.
"I have some very fond memories of the city. My son was born in Kansas City. Nothing would please me more than to be part of something that hasn't been done here in a long time, and that's getting into the postseason," Ibanez said. "I've been in from the other side, and when you're playing against them you look at that team and you realize how far the organization has come and how much progress they've made."
The Royals made several moves Monday. Ibanez and infielder Christian Colon were added to the roster, and infielder Pedro Ciriaco and outfielder Justin Maxwell were designated for assignment.
Colon was recalled from Triple-A. The fourth overall pick in the 2010 draft was batting .296 with 48 runs, 14 doubles and 14 steals in 74 games for Omaha. Yost said Colon will play second base, shortstop and third base.
Kansas City also traded left-hander Donnie Joseph to the Miami Marlins for cash. He was designated for assignment on June 24.
The 26-year-old Joseph pitched in one game for Kansas City this season, getting two outs on June 16 in Detroit. The Royals got him during the 2012 season in a trade that sent reliever Jonathan Broxton to Cincinnati.

Aaron's Sons and the Levites
1These are the family records of Aaron and Moses at the time the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. #Ex 19:3 2These are the names of Aaron's sons: Nadab, the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3These are the names of Aaron's sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests. 4But Nadab and Abihu died in the Lord's presence when they presented unauthorized fire #Lv 10:1-2 before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests under the direction of Aaron their father. #Lv 10:6Nm 4:16
5The Lord spoke to Moses: 6"Bring the tribe of Levi near and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him. 7They are to perform duties for # Or to guard him and the entire community before the tent of meeting by attending to the service of the tabernacle. 8They are to take care of # Or to guard all the furnishings of the tent of meeting #Nm 1:50 and perform duties for # Or and guard the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle. 9Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been assigned exclusively to him # Some Hb mss, LXX, Sam read Me ; Nm 8:16 from the Israelites. #Nm 8:16|NoBook| 18:6 10You are to appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out their priestly responsibilities, but any unauthorized person who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death." #Nm 1:51|NoBook| 3:38|NoBook| 8:19|NoBook| 18:7
11The Lord spoke to Moses: 12"See, I have taken the Levites from the Israelites in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. #Ex 13:1-232:26-29Nm 3:68:16-18|NoBook| 18:1 The Levites belong to Me, 13because every firstborn belongs to Me. At the time I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, #Ex 13:15-16 I consecrated every firstborn in Israel to Myself, both man and animal. They are Mine; I am Yahweh." #Ex 3:14-166:6-7Nm 3:41
The Levitical Census
14The Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai: 15"Register the Levites by their ancestral houses and their clans. You are to register every male one month old or more." 16So Moses registered them in obedience to the Lord as he had been commanded:
17These were Levi's sons by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 18These were the names of Gershon's sons by their clans: Libni and Shimei. 19Kohath's sons by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20Merari's sons by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the Levite clans by their ancestral houses. #Ex 6:17-191Ch 6:1
21The Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan came from Gershon; these were the Gershonite clans. 22Those registered, counting every male one month old or more, numbered 7,500. 23The Gershonite clans camped behind the tabernacle on the west side, #Nm 2:18-24 24and the leader of the Gershonite family was Eliasaph son of Lael. 25The Gershonites' duties #Nm 4:24-26 at the tent of meeting involved the tabernacle, the tent, its covering, the screen for the entrance to the tent of meeting, #Ex 26:7|NoBook| 35:11 26the hangings of the courtyard, the screen for the entrance #Ex 27:9-1935:17-1838:9-31 to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, and the tent ropes — all the work relating to these.
27The Amramite clan, the Izharite clan, the Hebronite clan, and the Uzzielite clan came from Kohath; these were the Kohathites. 28Counting every male one month old or more, there were 8,600 # LXX reads 8,300 responsible for the duties of # Or for guarding the sanctuary. 29The clans of the Kohathites camped on the south side of the tabernacle, #Nm 2:10-16 30and the leader of the family of the Kohathite clans was Elizaphan son of Uzziel. 31Their duties involved the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the sanctuary utensils that were used with these, and the screen # The screen between the most holy place and the holy place; Ex 35:12 #Ex 35:12 — and all the work relating to them. #Ex 25:10–27:21 32The chief of the Levite leaders was Eleazar #Ex 6:23-25|NoBook| 28:1Lv 10:6Nm 3:2 son of Aaron the priest; he had oversight of those responsible for the duties of # Or for guarding the sanctuary.
33The Mahlite clan and the Mushite clan came from Merari; these were the Merarite clans. 34Those registered, counting every male one month old or more, numbered 6,200. 35The leader of the family of the Merarite clans was Zuriel son of Abihail; they camped on the north side of the tabernacle. #Nm 2:25-31 36The assigned duties of Merari's descendants involved the tabernacle's supports, crossbars, posts, bases, all its equipment, and all the work related to these, #Ex 35:1-13Nm 4:31-32 37in addition to the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.
38Moses, Aaron, and his sons, who performed the duties of # Or who guarded the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites, camped in front of the tabernacle on the east, #Nm 2:3-9 in front of the tent of meeting toward the sunrise. Any unauthorized person who came near it was to be put to death. #Nm 1:51|NoBook| 3:10|NoBook| 8:19|NoBook| 18:7
39The total number of all the Levite males one month old or more that Moses and Aaron # Some Hb mss, Sam, Syr omit and Aaron registered by their clans at the Lord's command was 22,000.
Redemption of the Firstborn
40The Lord told Moses: "Register every firstborn male of the Israelites #Ex 13:1-2Nm 8:16-18 one month old or more, and list their names. 41You are to take the Levites for Me — I am Yahweh — in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites' cattle in place of every firstborn among the Israelites' cattle." 42So Moses registered every firstborn among the Israelites, as the Lord commanded him. 43The total number of the firstborn males one month old or more listed by name was 22,273.
44The Lord spoke to Moses again: 45"Take the Levites in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites' cattle in place of their cattle. The Levites belong to Me; I am Yahweh. #Nm 3:13|NoBook| 10:1015:40-41 46As the redemption price for the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites, 47collect five shekels for each person, according to the standard sanctuary shekel — 20 gerahs to the shekel. #Nm 18:16 48Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for those who are in excess among the Israelites."
49So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the ones redeemed by the Levites. 50He collected the money from the firstborn Israelites: 1,365 shekels # Over 34 pounds of silver measured by the standard sanctuary shekel. 51He gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the Lord, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

North Queensland Cowboys star Johnathan Thurston confident one NRL trial enough to have him firing
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- February 20, 2014
COWBOYS linchpin Johnathan Thurston is adamant he can rediscover his scintillating World Cup form from the moment the 2014 National Rugby League season kicks off.
But, just to make sure, he'll be asking coach Paul Green for some extra minutes this weekend.
Thurston has just one trial before Round 1, with the creation of the National Rugby League Auckland 9s and scrapping off the All Stars clash robbing him of time to find his groove.
If he was worried, though, he wasn't showing it yesterday.
Still flying high after being named the player of the World Cup late last year and subsequently claiming the Golden Boot award, five-eighth Thurston was confident he wouldn't be underdone.
"I believe so (one game is enough)," the Cowboys co-captain said.
"I haven't spoken to Greenie about how many minutes I'll play, but, if all things go to plan, then I'll probably play the whole game, just to put things in place that we've been training for.
"I'm looking forward to it."
Thurston — who believed the Cowboys could take momentum from the club's Auckland Nines success into the season — was yesterday named in a 20-man squad to battle the Gold Coast Titans in Toowoomba on Saturday night, with plenty of focus on who will play fullback.
But the Cowboys were giving little away yesterday.
Rather than name the players in position, as is the custim, the squad was released in alphabetical order.
Still, the leading contenders to fill the No. 1 jersey after Lachlan Coote was injured at the Nines were all there: Matthew Wright, Zac Santo, Javid Bowen and Michael Morgan.
The other contentious position, hooker, was also packed with options, with Cameron King, Ray Thompson and Anthony Mitchell all named.
Thurston admitted he was disappointed to lose Coote after the pair built a good on-field rapport.
Asked what he would want from the new fullback, he quipped: "Something like 'Mango' (retired club legend Matt Bowen) would be nice — not too much pressure.
"No, defensively (they) need to be on the ball and bringing those kick returns back with a bit of venom, if they're chewing up metres there our big boys don't have to run back as far.
"Whoever's there, I have the belief that they will get the job done."
The trial will be a happy home coming for Thurston, who spent time growing up in Toowoomba, while Clive Berghofer Stadium also holds some happy memories for the two-time Dally M Medallist.
As well as being where he played as a teenager, he scored four tries there for the Canterbury Bulldogs in 2003.
"No pressure," Thurston said with a laugh. "But we're just looking forward to Saturday night.
"We've been training extremely hard and Greenie's been putting all his structures in place, so it's time to put it all to work now."
COWBOYS SQUAD: Scott Bolton, Javid Bowen, Kyle Feldt, Glenn Hall, Cameron King, Kane Linnett, Robert Lui, Michael Morgan, Joel Riethmuller, Zac Santo, Matt Scott (c), Ashton Sims, Tariq Sims, James Tamou, Brent Tate, Jason Taumalolo, Ray Thompson, Johnathan Thurston (c), Antonio Winterstein, Matthew Wright.

Great first attempt Paola. I usually use iso 100 and very slow shutter speeds at f5.6 with tripod. Try putting your camera on its B stop and use a cable release then count off the seconds. If the photo is not bright enough do it again but with a longer exposure. I have used exposures of 1.5 minutes for some effects (usually where there is only one street light).
You get caught up in night photography as it adds a whole new dimension to your portfolio,

The number of people coming down with the whooping cough is going up and now health officials are urging Kentuckians to get vaccinated.
In 2007, the number of whooping cough cases in the state was 47.
This year there are already more than 250 reported cases in the state.
The Kentucky Department of Public Health says children under one year old are most at risk for significant complications from the illness.

Just found a nice article of seo your wordpress blog, very worth reading:
nice attempt to increase your own site's ranking... sheesh. not even a week on the site too.
most of that information is available elsewhere, in much better format (much more accessible to the average blogger, webmaster, et al).
and I think some of that information is misleading and/or incorrect. but that's just IMHO. people should beware of someone writing a blog post, and then saying "Hey, I just found a nice article someone wrote".. again, IMHO.
Agree with David. Just looking for the Google juice.
just fyi, but post links here on the forum isn't one way of doing it, as the nofollow tag was implemented a while ago to keep away spam
sorry, it won't work

DIY Ornament Ideas: Vintage Compass
This is a continuation of the big 2015 Dream Tree Reveal for Michaels Stores and my theme for this year: Vintage Camping and Hiking:
As part of my DIY ornament ideas I decided to go with a vintage compass:
I started out with these milk bottle lids from Michaels:
Step 1: I used a quick grip clamp to keep the milk bottle in place to drill holes in them using a small drill bit. You probably don't even need a drill bit if you can get a nail through easily. I just like using power tools whenever possible.
You will need two lids for each compass. First I drilled a hole in one side where a hook will go for hanging:
When the lids are stacked they should look like this on one side:
Then I drilled two holes on the other side of the lid, and drilled two holes on the other side of the second lid:
When the lids are stacked they should look like this on the other side:
Step 2: You'll need floral wire and pliers:
Cut two pieces of wire about 1″ in length and use them to create little loops to attach the two lids as shown:
The loops act as tiny hinges:
Cut about a 2″ length and twist both ends together to make a loop. This will be the ornament hanger.
Insert the loop through the single hole in one of the lids. I used a clothespin to create tension so that I could add a drop of glue on the inside to keep it in place while the glue dried:
Step 3: I forgot to take a photo of this step but I used gold metallic spray paint to spray paint each compass.
Step 4: I Googled "compass" and about 100 images came up for the inside of a compass. I picked a free one and imported it into Powerpoint where I duplicated it over and over on one sheet. I placed a layer of packing tape on each side to make the compass image glossy and to protect it from moisture:
Step 5: I cut out the compass images and glued each one into a lid:
Step 6: For the little needles I used regular old paper brads. I bent them down on either side and dabbed a little paint on them:
Then I glued those in place as well, adding a miniature brass brad in the middle:
Allow the glue to dry and here are your finished compasses!
An easy, inexpensive ornament to add to a tree:
More tutorials to come soon on the rest of the ornaments!

Face Oil: Yes, You Can Put Oil on Your Face
The last time Congress passed a major law to regulate cosmetic ingredients was in 1938. The United States has only partially restricted 11 ingredients from use in the beauty industry; the European Union has banned nearly 1,400. It's safe to say we're dangerously behind the times. -Beauty Counter Petition for Safe Beauty
This is huge: This week Gregg Renfro, the founder of Beauty Counter, is in Washington to ask Congress to clean up cosmetics and prioritize safe beauty. We need stricter regulations in the cosmetic industry. Right now pretty much anything goes and it's really scary.
MYTH —-> The government prohibits the use of all dangerous chemicals in personal care products, and companies wouldn't risk using them.
FACT —–> With the exception of color additives and a few prohibited substances, cosmetics companies may use any ingredient or raw material in their products without government review or approval (FDA 2005).
(from Environmental Working Group)
Last week Beauty Counter announced that its one of the first two companies to join the Environmental Working Group's new EWG Verified status. That's huge too. This is why I love Beauty Counter and its mission. (see the NEVER LIST on their site here.)
Plus, I have the most complicated skin on the planet: dry, acne prone, not to mention rosacea that flares up every time I go out in the sun or eat spicy foods (which is everyday).
No makeup ya'll.
And I'm almost 40…
And I'm a cancer survivor….
I need all the safe skin help I can get.
…so it's my new mission in life to do everything I can to keep my family safe and to help educate others about safe products, especially those that follow the strict European standards (unlike most U.S. products).
I use only Beauty Counter products from shampoo all the way to my face lotion. Boo uses all Counter Kids. Because I know the products are safe. But the number one question I always get is:
If you had to pick one product, what would you pick?
And my answer is the Lustro Face Oil.
Why does oil work?
While most of us have been conditioned to think that oil is bad for skin, the opposite is actually true: Pure plant based oils are incredible healing for even the most problematic skin. These oils are full of power antioxidants and essential fatty acids that protect, smooth and plump skin. Oily, acne-prone complexions can benefit from pure plant based oils because of naturally occurring antimicrobial ultra-hydrating properties.
There's a different oil for each type of skin. You can use it by itself or mix a few drops in with your regular moisturizer to start.
Here's the difference between oils:
#1 Lustro Oil has Calendula. Calendula is known to soothe, moisturize, and refresh all skin types. It has a warm, earthy floral scent that works great for sensitive or irritated skin.
#2 Lustro Oil has Jasmine. Jasmine has a heady white floral scent and it enhances the appearance of skin suppleness and tone. It is ideal for dry or tired skin.
#3 Lustro Oil has Ylang Ylang and Wild Chamomile. Ylang ylang and wild chamomile balance oil production and soothe skin. This is idea for very dry, very oily or complicated combination skin.

DIY Ornament: Vintage Wool Canteen
This is a continuation of the big 2015 Dream Tree Reveal for Michaels Stores and my theme for this year: Vintage Camping and Hiking:
I love the old vintage wool covered canteens and I had to find a way to make them as a DIY Ornament:
I started out with little 3″ wood toy wheels like the ones below and small wood spools:
Step 1: To make the little canteen spout I used a clamp to hold a wood spool in place while I cut it in half:
I used a small wood toy saw and it worked great:
The halved spool:
Step 2: I screwed the halved spool to the edge of the wood toy wheel:
Step 3: I painted the pieces with Krylon metallic silver spray paint to resemble a metal canteen:
Step 4: To make the striped wool I used regular gray crafting felt and lined it with blue tape. Then I spray painted one color. When the paint dried I removed the existing tape and re-lined the felt with blue tape to for the next color:
Step 5: Once the paint was dry I used the lid of the spray paint as a circular template and cut out two circles for each side of the canteen:
Step 6: I applied a thin layer of E600o industrial glue to the back of one of the pieces of felt and glued it to the wheel. When the first side was dry I repeated this step for the other side.
Step 7: I made a little loop of wire to hold a small length of chain in place for the canteen lid right under the screw. The other side of the chain can be attached underneath the bottom of the lid or somewhere on the side if you prefer. The chain is just a length of chain from the jewelry department at Michaels:
Step 8: For the strap I used a plain ribbon and small upholstery tacks. The tacks can be found at any hardware store or you can also use small metal brads:
I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the wheel so it would be able to insert the tack. I looped the ribbon so both raw ends ended underneath the canteen, added glue underneath, and inserted the tack:
I also drilled holes on each side of the canteen for the side tacks, apple glue underneath and inserted the tack through the ribbon to hold it in place:
The finished vintage wool canteen below!
It looks just like the real deal:
Great for ornaments and gifts for the hiking and camping enthusiast. Also great for American Girl camping gear:
Boo wants one for Christmas for her American Girls, along with the tiny lanterns and bedrolls.

Where Does it Hurt
When I first saw the headlines about Paris I had just been reading about a young pastor's wife who was shot in the early morning hours by a burglar. I thought my heart would explode. And just last week I was reading about the environmental impacts of war, "no-go" zones that have left farmland poisoned, entire communities left as ghosts for the next thousands of years. Then a day late I learned about the suicide bombings in Beirut. For two days I've been watching the posts on social media become their own form of crossfire. I find myself lost in the virtual crossfire over and over. Maybe these days it's too easy to just meme about the way forward, and there is no actual path laid in the forward direction. Humans can be the worst. And the best. And the worst.
Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
-Eckhart Tolle
As the silent watcher of my own thoughts I know this about myself: I have to let labels vanish in order to navigate this confusing world clearly. Most recently I find myself crossing over those artificial political and religious lines and I like myself much better there. I like being an independent contractor. It sounds better than "outsider." Brene Brown says that "professing love is easy, practicing love takes courage." I no longer fear letting go of things I always thought I knew to be true. I see this very thin line where hurt and the end of hope can transform into hate, and where hate can make people completely numb to the miracle of life. And we all started out as children once. Hate is the only thing I wish there was a rewind button for.
I prayed for Paris, even though some people have said that it wouldn't help anything. Sometimes prayer is just acknowledging the heart behind it, and finding direction.
"Think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and blood from our hearts. Our blood flows and our breathing continues 'without ceasing'; we are not conscious of it, but it never stops."
-Oswald Chambers
I rarely write about current events because I question everything. I trust what I think is good and right but sometimes it can't be put into words. Maybe there are already too many words. I know that I'm more scared of indifference than hate, if the two are even measurable. I don't think I've ever held hate for anyone, but I wish I could put into words why. Am I quick to forgive? Am I lazy? I think we are all more alike than we are different. I think curiosity and wonder could heal the world. I believe in finding your own spiritual medicine: the stuff that makes you feel more connected to this earth and other humans. I believe in being kind to all humans and all creatures. I believe in a good night's sleep, humility and listening, and I hope all of this makes me courageous enough.
Barbara Brown Taylor says that "we learn things in the dark, that we could have never learned in the light."
The dark is often the tipping point.
I hope we learn from all of this.
I hope I learn from all of this.
The Peace of Wild Things
by Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
DIY Ornament: Vintage Camping Lantern
When I was making my vintage camping themed tree this year the first thing I thought I needed was a vintage camping lantern, but I couldn't find one. So I made one:
These are the three main ingredients in my little lanterns: little glass jars from Michaels' bead section, wood peg doll holders, and buttons:
Step 1: The first thing I did was start gluing different sized buttons into a stack formation using E6000 glue:
Step 2: Then I took apart the little glass jars with their cork tops:
I used a knife to cut the little corks in half to make them shorter, unscrewing the little "eyes" too:
Step 3: I glued the modified corks to the top of the button stack:
Step 4: When the glue was dry I painted the button stacks and the wood peg doll holders:
After a few coats they were ready to go:
Step 5: These are the three pieces needed for each lantern:
A little glue on each piece and stacking them together is the final step:
I added a small screw eye to the top of each lantern (larger than the one that it came with) and the lanterns were ready for the tree!

DIY Ornament: Vintage Camping Bedroll
Last week was the big 2015 Dream Tree Reveal for Michaels Stores and my theme for this year: Vintage Camping and Hiking:
I decided on the theme after finding cute little red and black checked backpack ornaments at Michaels. And then I began making the rest of the ornaments, including the cute little vintage bed rolls:
For the bed rolls you need the following:
Gray Felt
Leather Latigo Lace
Floral wire
Step 1: Cut each piece of felt in half.
Step 2: Cut three 6″ pieces of latigo lace.
Step 3: Roll up one of the pieces of felt.
Step 4: Use one of the pieces of latigo lace and tie around the end of the roll. You can trim the ends with scissors if it turns out to be too long.
Step 5: Tie another 6″ piece around the other end.
Step 6: Pass the third piece of latigo lace under one of the tied pieces as shown below.
Step 7: Cut a small piece of floral wire using wire cutters.
Step 8: Loop the wire around the latigo lace as shown below.
Step 9: Use pliers to crimp the wire into place to secure the leather in place.
Step 10: Repeat for the other side and trim any excess leather.
Cute little finished bed rolls to hang on the tree! Or to use for American Girl doll props or other decor.

I Think You'll Manage
I think you'll manage.
I could tell you the story of The Butterfly Circus but you should just watch the short film:
I spent the last week at a writing intensive led by author Patti Digh and one of the recurring themes that I came away with was the one line from The Butterfly Circus: I think you'll manage. I have been finding quite a few ways not to manage lately.
The other message I heard in the film: Don't let the world lie to you. Don't believe the standards the world measures you against. Don't let it tell you that you are broken or incapable. The world has no idea what you are capable of.
I love the part when Mendez says:
Yes, you do have an advantage. The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph.
I learned a lot about myself last week and felt like I was getting back on track again after having derailed for a while. When it was time to go home I felt a twinge of fear because I realized I was re-entering real life again: my real life with a husband and daughter that I want to love and give undivided attention to, my real life filled with endless to-do lists and responsibilities, my real life filled with distractions and competing interests. I can find a million things to move me away from my work instead of towards it: I don't have time. It's too loud in here. I'm not smart enough. I've lost brain function. I'll never finish. The dog is needy. Maybe that's why I've always had this idea of finding myself in Annie Dillard's Tinker Creek cabin and writing my own book, because I could write like Annie if I just lived in a that cabin, in solitude, right?
One morning we were writing about leaving a coat behind, the coat being a symbol of something heavy we have been holding on to. I ended up writing a story about Tinker Creek. And it was one of those stories that came out of nowhere, as if I was not even aware of the words while I was writing:
She stepped into the cabin and realized it was smaller than she had thought it would be. There was small rickety writing table and a simple cane chair in the room but not much else. The quiet was like a vacuum. The solitude in this natural environment had been long awaited. This is where her muse resided and where she would finally finish her work. The lengths to get here, away from the distractions of the world, had spanned a few months. She sat down in the simple cane chair and carefully unpacked her writing materials: her typewriter, her notebook, her pens. And as she sat in the chair, she waited for the inspiration. But the inspiration did not come. She walked down to the creek, and stood on the large rocks and twisted roots that she knew Annie had once stood on. And as she stood on the rocks, she waited for the inspiration. But the inspiration did not come. She walked through the woods and looked for the frogs and the squirrels that Annie had written about because surely those would spark the inspiration. And as she walked, she waited for the spark of inspiration. But the spark of inspiration did not come. She walked back to the cabin, stepped inside and took off her heavy coat. As she went to hang the coat on the back of the door she discovered a coat hanging there already: Annie's coat. She turned, looked around the cabin and suddenly felt unwelcome. This was not her writing space. This was the writing space of someone else. She realized that her inspiration had been left in the beautiful chaos of her own life. The muse she sought was in all of the questions she was trying to leave behind. And in the questions there awaited a huge roaring reservoir of a river, not just a tiny tinker of a creek.
Reading back over what I wrote, the words became a very clear message: I am not Annie. I compare myself too often, I set expectations of myself based on other writers. For example I'm fairly certain that my use of punctuation is wrong…compared to Annie Dillard, or anyone that passed English 101. I have my own language and way of writing that comes from my own experience. It cannot come from anyone else but me. For a long time now I have been struggling to connect two very different bodies of writing I have been working on and it feels like I have been trying to construct a bridge from California to Japan. And at times it seems too hard to be done. But then this happened:
Me: It would be a really long bridge spanning a few tectonic plates.
Patti: I don't think many people would want to drive over that bridge.
With that one sentence the universe was cracked open for me. I was trying to force things together that maybe aren't supposed to go together. And when I force things I venture outside of my own voice and the writing just becomes a scary-tectonic-plate-spanning-bridge. And I don't think anyone would want to go on that bridge either, including me.
There's more than one way across a huge body of water and maybe I should be taking a slow scenic boat instead of trying to build a super technical ocean highway. All the obstacles and boundaries are my story. Even the ones I create out of thin air.
One day as a break from writing we spent an afternoon creating little writing shrines from Altoid boxes and sometimes my brain makes things without asking and mine ended up as this Jesus reminding me to write while a ship gets eaten by a sea monster:
I can find find meaning in just about anything so I think I was was maybe subconsciously trying to tell myself: Write! To save the people on the ship from the writhing pickles!
Somehow I think butterfly circuses, pickled sea monsters and Annie Dillard are all connected in some way. I'm not going to try to explain it any further but what I wanted to leave you with is that: I think I'll manage. And I think you'll manage too.
The Blickensderfer
I recently saw this typewriter in a local antique shop: A model 7 Blickensderfer Typewriter c. 1897.
Designed by George Canfield Blickensderfer, it was known for its portability and advertising included reviews such as "well adapted to small quarters" and "I took your Blickensderfer to Omdurman [Egypt] and have done the whole of my work for Reuter on it….never has a typewriter been tried more severely." See the little cylinder? Pressing a key caused the embossed cylindrical wheel to turn so the correct letter was positioned over the paper, it would then be inked by a roller as it was pressed down onto the paper. This is one of the first portable typewriters and weighed only about 6 pounds. Cool right?
I recently got all new juicy inky ribbons for my own collection of typewriters. I loaded them all in today and it felt kind like I'd won some kind of lottery being able to choose from any of them and type for a very long time:
And then a thoughtful gift left by a new friend today. I met author Kim Michele Richardson a few weeks ago when she popped in to the used book store I volunteer in. This week I went to her local book signing and she's been so supportive of my own dreams to write. She left me these old typewriter keys today and some other bits of an old Smith Corona typewriter. I'm pretty sure they came from an L.C. Smith #8 which were manufactured around 1915.
Somehow she must have known that I've been writing on this newer electric Smith Corona:
I love writing on the electric typewriter that a friend of ours gave Boo a few years ago. When Boo first had a chance to test it out she said: this is the best thing invented since the computer.
It's a good feeling trying to fill up the pages with the clicking of the keys, no spell check and no way to backspace. I can't rethink…I just move forward. My favorite thing is when I type too fast and after I've stopped the key have to catch up with me: ghost typing. One thing I've learned: I could definitely stand to improve my typing skills…and spelling skills. I've become too reliant on spellcheck these days. I'll have to write about these two typewriters in my morning pages this week…a thread connecting two machines that were manufactured 100 years apart. I'm certain the old keys will tell me stories of all they captured over the years.
2015 Dream Tree Reveal – Vintage Camping Theme
I can't believe this is my fourth year making a dream tree for Michaels! I've loved the past few years of coming up with new ideas each year. The first year I went with a rustic theme and in year two I picked a floral theme. Last year I went all out with a Scandinavian theme. And then this year might be my favorite:
Wild meets A Walk in the Woods?
Over the past year our lives have become more and more centered around living outside and it only seemed natural to go with an outdoor theme. Once I saw these cute little vintage backpack ornaments at Michaels I knew a vintage camping theme was the direction I wanted to take with this year's tree:
Most of the ornaments I made from scratch using materials from Michaels and I'll have tutorials to follow soon on how to make your own. Like these little lanterns, can you guess what they are made from?
Or these Pendleton-inspired wool-covered canteens:
Handmade compasses:
And vintage bedrolls:
I added in a bunch of vintage park service inspired signs:
We live right near the Appalachian Trail (and I love the book A Walk in the Woods) so I had to go with some of those:
I added added in branches and marshmallow skewers for added detail:
The tree at night with all the lights on:
Have you read Wild yet or seen the movie? Yes, I loved that one too….and had to throw in the PCT sign:
The Christmas tree topper…I can never pass up a scenic overlook!
I'll share all the ornaments, details and closeups soon so you can follow along!

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Kelly Johnson hit a two-run homer and Yunel Escobar and Rajai Davis each drove in a run as the Toronto Blue Jays edged the Minnesota Twins, 4-3, in the middle test of a three-game set at Rogers Centre.
Chad Jenkins (1-3) earned his first major league win after giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over five-plus innings.
Casey Janssen stranded a runner in the ninth to earn his 22nd save of the season.
"I don't think anyone wants to coast to the finish line, whether it is pride, or if its whatever motivates you. I feel like we owe it to everyone to give it everything we got," Janssen said.
Denard Span went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and Alexi Casilla added an RBI double for the Twins, who have dropped four straight.
Anthony Swarzak (3-6) was saddled with the loss after giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings.
Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the third when Davis singled to center field to score Adeiny Hechavarria. Hechavarria opened the inning with a double into the left-field corner and advanced to third on a Moises Sierra ground out before coming around on Davis' base hit.
Kelly Johnson ripped a two-run homer in the fourth and Escobar stroked an RBI base hit in the fifth to extend Toronto's spread to 4-0.
Span's two-run shot in the sixth inning cut the Twins' deficit to 4-2, and Minnesota added one more in the seventh when Casilla doubled to right field to score Trevor Plouffe, who opened the frame with a double of his own.
"He threw me a fastball in and I just reacted and put a good swing on it. That was pretty much of the gist of it. It was good to get us on the board that way," Span said.
But Darren Oliver worked a scoreless eighth and Janssen worked around a two- out single in the ninth to close out the game.
Toronto has won six of its last nine, but dropped 14 of its last 21 overall
... Hechavarria has recorded at least one hit in 12 of his last 13 games ...
Minnesota is 25-69 when its opponent scores first.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Jan. 8 and 9 was "Wildcard Weekend" in the NFL. The Jets beat the Colts. Packers over Eagles. Seahawks bested the Saints, etc.
|Mike Tomlin's Steelers lost the Super Bowl, but the Pittsburgh coach won big for manning up to the facts.
On Jan. 10, Auburn beat Oregon 22-19 in the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game.
Jan. 1 marked the beginning of 2011. Do you remember where you were on New Year's Eve?
The movie "The Fighter," starring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg, came out Dec. 19. In my opinion, the best movie of the season, and the best sports movie in a long, long time ("human sports" for all of you now shouting "But what about 'Seabiscuit'?!").
Santa Claus came to the McKagan house on Dec. 25. On Christmas Eve, we all watched "A Christmas Story."
On Dec. 19, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the New York Jets, 22-17.
Four days later, on Dec. 23, the Steelers turned it around on the hapless Carolina Panthers, 27-3.
On Jan. 3, most of our K thru 12th-grade kids went back to school this year.
On Dec. 27, a blizzard hit New York, Boston, and most of the Northeast United States, burying cities in knee-deep snow and stranding countless thousands at airports around the country. Where were you?
Jan. 25 saw Motorhead start yet another world tour, this time for "The World Is Yours." Their gig in Anaheim, Calif., was so loud that Angels fans shouldn't be surprised if they can still hear remnants of the song "Ace Of Spades" reverberating around Angel Stadium come the first week of April when baseball season starts.
On Jan. 16, the Los Angeles Clippers beat the L.A. Lakers. I never did like the Lakers -- who, do-or-die, will always be an arch-enemy to my Seattle SuperSonics. Oh yeah, that's right, they were stolen from us.
On Dec. 22 at the Maaco Las Vegas Bowl, No. 10 Boise St. beat No. 19 Utah 26-3.
Feb. 6 at his Super Bowl postgame news conference, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin showed us all what having fortitude and balls is by stating that his team just simply got outplayed. No excuses. No B.S.
Jan. 19 brought us the return of NBC's "The Office." Oh, yeah!
On Feb 5, Desmond Howard "tweets that Phil Simms threatened him at some Super Bowl week pre-function after a spat over Howard's criticism about Simms' son as a college QB. Now, while I find this all intriguing, whatever happened to some good ol' fisticuffs in the back alley? Ah, the "Information Age" has had its "weenie effect" on even the toughest of us all, I guess …
Feb. 7 is when we all start the "pitchers and catchers report to spring training" talk on AM sports radio.
On Dec. 18, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 11,491.91. To this date, the DJIA has gone up roughly 706 points, to 12,197.00.
At 11 p.m. PT, Jan. 4, my first ESPN.com column appears. In that introductory piece, I state clearly that I am not a sportswriter.
At 11:05 p.m. PT, Jan. 4, a comment appears to my column from an anonymous and obviously miffed poster, asking why I am writing for ESPN, "he is not even a sportswriter!"
On Jan. 17, Ricky Gervais serves as host for the Golden Globe Awards show. He raises quite the ruckus whilst offending pretty much everyone in the room. Here is an example: "I hired him to star in a remake of a show I starred in, which he's now leaving, killing a cash cow for both of us. Please welcome Tina Fey and the ungrateful Steve Carell!"
On Jan. 4, Apple announced that the iPhone 4 will be available through Verizon; the people go crazy!
Jan. 17, Brett Favre files retirement paperwork with the league office of the NFL.
On Dec. 31, the Rex Ryan foot-fetish scandal takes root.
Why am I bringing up all of these random dates? I am just trying to bring some scope to how bad it has been for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. All of the above-mentioned things have happened since …
Dec. 18, 2010. The last time that the Cleveland Cavaliers won a game, beating the Knicks 109-102.
Musician Duff McKagan, who writes for Seattle Weekly, has written for Playboy.com and is finishing his autobiography, writes a weekly sports column for ESPN.com.

hello, i new user from russia
Hi everyone. New (obviously). Hoping to find some good info. Thinking about jailbreaking my PS3 finally. Modded all my previous consoles with soft and/or hard mods. Interested in learning the basics and eventually jailbreaking my ps3. I'm a complete newb when it comes to jailbreaking the ps3 and not afraid to admit it. Any help, advise, caveats, etc on where to look, what to look for, etc would be appreciated. I have quite a bit of Linux background. Hoping that may come in handy.
Anyway, nice to meet everyone and nice to be here.
Sorta new here and figured it was time to announce my official arrival. Better late then never. I have been researching about cfw and its apps and i usually find myself here so hello and thank you to all the users and admins.
