WATCH: Lady Gaga joins Adam Lambert and Queen onstage during Sydney show
Queen fans received a surprise at last night's Sydney show when Lady Gaga took to the stage.
Gaga joined Queen frontman and ex American Idol contestant Adam Lambert to belt out the hit Another One Bites the Dust, but sadly she didn't stay for a rendition of Radio Gaga – the song by which her name was inspired – although she did receive a special serenade by Lambert during the song's chorus, as she watched from the crowd.
The singer is also currently touring around Australia with her Artpop tour.
Twitter was later abuzz with post show tweets.

The FAA has rolled out a huge new batch of rules requiring expanded simulator training for airline pilots. The rule change is largely the result of the turboprop regional airline crew that got slow on approach and pulled back on the stick when the stall warning stick shaker activated instead of reducing back pressure on the controls. So the new rules will require pilots to train for something they already know and practice–lower the nose when the shaker fires.
I think the stick shaker is one of the great aviation safety inventions of all time. Its warning is totally intuitive and the shaker is unmistakable in the visual clutter of cockpit warning lights and CAS messages, and the increasing number of warning tones and spoken alerts. The shaker message comes through your hands, the very thing that connects a pilot to the airplane. What warning could be more clear?
Over the past few years shaker warnings again proved their value in helicopters. Safe Flight Instrument Corp. created a collective shaker to warn a pilot when he was pulling up too far asking the engine and main rotor system for too much power. Exceeding collective power limits can damage the engine, transmission and other components. At a minimum a costly inspection is required. The U.S. Army was very interested in the system because collective power eceedance events was costing a bundle.
Once the Army installed the Safe Flight collective shaker the rate of exceedance dropped to nearly nothing. And that was with no exotic training or lengthy practice by the pilots. It's just obvious. When the collective lever in your left hand starts vibrating vigorously it's a natural reaction to push it down a little, or at least stop pulling up.
Several car companies have now adopted the shaker as warning concept because of its intuitive and unique ability to alert a driver as well as a pilot. In some premium cars a shaker in the seat vibrates when the anti-collision system detects a threat. If the collision threat is on your right, for example, the right side of the driver's seat shakes. It's a natural reaction to sense the vibration on one side, be alerted, and look in that direction for a threat. Cadillac, for example, isn't sending owners to sim training to learn how to respond to the seat shaker. It's obvious, and it works.
Despite the intuitive nature of the stick shaker warning airline and other jet pilots have been practicing recovery from a shaker activation in the flight simulator at least every year. When the shaker starts to vibrate the column in the sim you add power and reduce back pressure or you flunk. And you should flunk if you can't figure that out.
But thanks to Congress which responded to pressure from families of victims in the Buffalo crash pilots will now have to spend who knows how much time in the sim increasing the angle of attack until the shaker fires and then taking action to reduce the AOA. What's next? Increased training on the importance of lowering the wheels before touchdown?
Another accident the added to the brew of new training requirements is the Air France Airbus crash into the Atlantic more than four years ago. In that one stall warning was totally absent because all three air data systems failed leaving the crew with no clear and reliable indication of airspeed. Maybe the AOA indication was still working but the crew had so many confusing warning messages and such odd indications on the flight instruments that it would have been extremely difficult to know what was reliable and what wasn't.
Because of that Airbus accident airline pilots training in the sim will now be required to hand fly without reliable airspeed indication. Losing any of the primary flight instruments has been a staple of sim training for many years so this isn't really new either.
There are other requirements in the rewritten rules for pilots to practice directional control on the runway in strong crosswinds, and to recover from a bounced landing. Duh? Everybody's been doing that already, too.
But Congress acted, the FAA reacted and everyone can congratulate themselves that new rules will transform an unbelievably excellent airline safety record into the unobtainable perfect record. I sure wish paperwork had the kind of power.

My father for saying I may have "made it up" so my SO wouldn't think I was "easy" or getting around prior to getting in a relationship with him. I'm just like come on, i worked, had school, did a few extracurricular activities in school, when would I get the time or the energy to have a sex life? IDK why he said it but I still feel angry and hurt he would say that. He was barely there in that time period, we just coexisted under a roof and four walls, so yeah, he certainly has no right to make that sweeping judgement. I to this day still feel a lot of resentment and hostility over that.
Right now thats all I can think of.

The FDA's only over-the-counter diet pill.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2016
Warning: Alli Linked To Liver Damage
The anticipation for a new diet pill is over as the FDA recently approved Alli (pronounced Al-eye). It's the weight loss newcomer that is quickly finding its place on drug store shelves. Alli is the first FDA-approved diet pill available without a prescription. Alli is actually a low-dose version of Xenical, a prescription drug that successfully assists obese individuals losing weight. Xenical is taken under a doctor's care while following a low-calorie, low-fat diet. Alli has the same active ingredient (Orlistat), but in a much lower dosage, and is available without the prescription.
Alli can help you lose a few pounds more than just dieting and exercise alone. It works by suppressing the body's ability to absorb fat in the intestines. By reducing fat, you reduce calories. When the body is unable to absorb these fats they become undigested waste.
Alli works best when it is used in conjunction with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and a regular exercise program. But since sticking to a reduced-calorie diet is tough and since certain foods need to be avoided while using the diet pill, Alli has partnered with eDiets, a meal delivery service that delivers Alli-specific meals to your door every week.
While some may view Alli as a controversial solution to weight loss, the manufacturers of this product have gone to great lengths to offer a comprehensive program to its users in order to make weight loss as easy and approachable as possible.
Although studies on the amount of weight loss you can lose with Alli are limited, you can expect to lose three to five pounds more than just relying on diet and exercise alone.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner as Sletrokor for better results
- May help to jump start a weight loss program
- Comprehensive website that offers support, food journals, calorie counters, meal plans and shopping lists
- Partnership with eDiets makes eating and meal planning simple and convenient
- The only over-the-counter diet pill with FDA approval
- Low-dose version of effective prescription diet pill
- Some think it shouldn't be sold without a prescription
- Not a long-term solution to weight loss
- Uncomfortable side effects
- Must be very careful to not exceed the maximum fat gram requirement with each meal
- Weight loss affects are modest
- Meal delivery services don't teach you how to consume and prepare your own calorie and portion-controlled meals
Alli contains 60 mg of Orlistat.ADMINISTRATION
Alli is a 60 mg tablet taken three times a day with meals that should not exceed 15 mg of fat.DIET and EXERCISE
A low-fat and low-calorie diet must be followed while taking Alli. Since the success of Alli depends so largely on what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat, you have two choices for designing the most effective meal plan for your weight loss needs:
- You could consult with your physician or a registered dietitian to design a well-laid out diet and exercise plan.
- You could sign up for Alli's partner eDiets, a meal delivery service that creates special Alli-approved meals and delivers them to your door each week.
With the eDiets plan, you eat three meals a day plus snack and desserts. Menus can be personalized to reflect your tastes and preferences and you also have access to a registered dietitian, an online community of other Alli dieters and fitness and exercise support.
Since the fat content of each meal must be closely monitored while using Alli (no more than 15 mg each day), eDiets special Alli-approved meals meet these requirements so that your risk of side effects is kept to a minimum.
The eDiets menu includes a wide variety of delicious meals, including:
- Maple Apple Oatmeal
- Denver Style Potato Skillet with Turkey Ham
- Rosemary Pork with Brown Rice
- Oven Roasted Turkey with Savory Sweet Potatoes and Mixed Garden Vegetables
- Blackened Chicken served with Seasoned Spicy Brown Rice
- Peach Cobbler
- Sugar-free Pudding
Irrespective of which meal plan you follow, since Alli inhibits the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, it is important to take a daily supplement that includes Vitamins A, D and E.
In addition, for the best results, a regular exercise program should also be followed that includes 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week. If you decide to sign-up with eDiets meal delivery service, you have access to a live fitness trainer to help you customize an exercise plan to compliment your weight loss needs.CONCLUSION
Many people have seen positive results with Alli. However, those considering taking Alli should note that side effects can include gas, and uncontrolled urination and bowel movements, especially when not following the guidelines prescribed by Alli.
Alli is not a magic pill to lose weight, but its special partnership with eDiets, a meal delivery service, makes eating and meal planning simple and convenient.
Do keep in mind that the effects of taking Alli in comparison to just dieting and exercising alone are just the difference of a few pounds. It is necessary that you consult with your medical practitioner before taking Alli.Common Misspellings

6-11-08 Heard about Alli and thought I'd give it a try.. today is my second day on it and so far so good..been eating a low fat diet and no bad treatment effects yet...just been urinating a little more than usual..will keep you all posted....
Photochick....I take a pill right before I eat. I only had side effects once. It was from eating movie theatre popcorn....omg it was crazy. The best way I can describe the oil side affect is to picture folding a piece of pizza in half, and that orange oil that drips off the pizza that is exactly what comes out of you. It is like pure fat.
im 12 and i want to know if i can tack this pill to mack me look sexy for my boyfreind yes or no
6-5-08 I'm 54, so weight loss at this age was impossible. I started taking alli last September - 10 lbs lost by Christmas and 12 more by this past April. Definitely side effects, but manageable. This product is amazing and I will continue to take.
6/1/08.. I started takin this pill 2 days ago. I had no side effects so I wanted to test it. I HATE, i repeat HHHAAATTTEEE McDonalds but I know it's the next best thing to heart failure so I ate there just to test the GI Tract. Let me tell ya, not pleasant. Well, to someone who is used to going every 3 days it's a dangg blessing.. but to someone who goes once a day, grab the preperation H if you plan to eat a fatty meal. IM assuming the last two days i had no effects because i didnt eat fatty foods. If this pill doesnt make you lose weight it will definitely make you think twice about the food you consume thats for sure. And if you think changing a baby diaper is bad? You got another thing coming when you eat a fatty meal on Alli. It made ME cry and open windows. I was so disgusted. I went out and bought an entire house wirth of new food because of m bowel movement. THREE for one big mac. THREE.
I'm taking alli now. It's true the fat comes out when you go to the restroom but at least it doesn't stay in me. i lost 12lbs on my own and want alli to help me lose another 10. you take it before meals. it really works my friend lost 50lbs. of course your not going to lose them from one day to the next but stay positive even if its 1lb a month and try to cut the grease. you can eat pizza just beware you will pay for it. BUT SO WORTH IT!!! good luck!
I started taking this product-but the instructions state 'take with a meal' so is that before i eat or after i eat? I've been taking it before and haven't noticed any side effects. But i'm also a vegetarian and my fat intake is pretty low anyways. It makes me think i'm taking it at the wrong time? Someone let me know please!
just starting this product will keep you posted....
I started taking alli about 6 weeks ago. I have lost about 18 pounds. I have never ever had ANY kind of side effect. No gas, no weird poop, no extra trips to the bathroom of any kind. I started my lowfat diet a few days before starting the pills and I stay well below the fat grams that are recommended. There have been a few meals that I've wanted to splurge, so I've just not taken the pill. Still, no side effects. I don't know if it was just my mindset or if it was the pills, but something has clicked and I've finally dropped the pounds I've struggled with the past few years. Though, I've not had any effects, the fear of having them has definitely kept me on the straight and narrow. I'm glad I tried them, although, they probably aren't for everyone, I've felt no ill effects.
Just a note regarding the negative effects of Alli that some people noted (I haven't taken it but speaking from a medical background) - (1) Alli can't be addictive...not to say other drugs aren't but this one doesn't appear to have any effects on any centers that result in addiction or dependence...it works on an enzyme that acts in our intestines to absorb fats ... (2) someone noted experiencing problems 2 years after terminating the program - that actually may be an effect that the clinical trials haven't picked up on... not likely to happen in everyone - just a VERY small percentage - but it's more likely if you take them for an extended period of time
I started alli Thursday May 15th at 161, and now Sun. May 18 I am 158.. thats a pound a day I have lost... I am also on the special K diet as well. Only had the side affect once the first day I started as I pigged out on pizza and took the pill... if you are on a lowfat diet theres not any side affects!!! Works for me great so far... we'll see. :)
I was on Alli, if you eat right then you won't have the side effects. I didn't lose any weight but my co-worker lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks. His wife lost 10 in 6 weeks but was also running everyday. I switched to Curvelle and I actually think it works. I am sensitive to side effects and so far I haven't had any on curvelle. As for Alli....you eat wrong...you end up in the bathroom, you eat right...you are fine.
I just ordered it I hope it works for me I'll report back in about a month.
i just start today...will post something in a week
most disgusting side effects and you can't control it -I threw a months supply out --I would rather have a few extra pounds than wear depends because you're not sure what may or may not come out -- FLIPPIN GROSS!!!
started using it, didn't lose but 2 lbs in an entire month but managed to crap orange uncontrollably, without eating high fat foods.... even when i passed gas it was embarassing at work, and even stained my pants. do not recommend to any one who is a human being.
I have been taking Alli since November 07. As of today 4/29/08, I have lost 35 lbs. You have to be dedicated to this diet to make it work(duh, like all other diets). Getting in the correct calories and fat intake are key, and all the little books that come with the starter kit explain why. I think this drug is wonderful, and also a great discipline tool, i have really learned how to eat healthier, and when I crave junk food, It has helped me stay conscious of portion control. Everyone is different, some people may not have a tolerance for the drug itself.FYI, triglycerides go through the roof from smoking as well as constant stopping and starting of diet and exercise also. If you are thinking about using Alli to assist your diet and exercise (i get in about 2 hours a week, not much, but its something) program, take the time to read the literature, it makes things alot easier, o yeah, and you might want to keep an extra pair of panties around, just in case. Ive never had TE's, but, hey, s**t happens.
Anyone heard of Alli increasing triglyerides? Never had a problem until I started taking Alli, now they are through the roof!
I took alli for 2 weeks..The results were great. I am now down to my desired weight and I'm off alli for now. Got the result and happy for it. Treatment effects weren't fun but hey focus on the result!!!! I wouls recomend it...
I have been taking Alli for 2 weeks now and I have lost 3lbs. I am excited about it. The bathroom trips are real. I do not have a diet plan just watching what I eat. I can tell when I have had to much fat. So It does help you to make good food choices. I am goin to stay with Alli for at these 3 months to see if it works for me. So far so good...Good Luck to everyone.

Front Door Hardware
A new, properly functioning front door will beatify your entryway, as well as give you peace of mind.
There are a variety of reasons for replacing a front door. One instance could be a well-functioning door that doesn't make the statement you desire. This upgrade is a sound decision as a quality door, correctly installed, can enhance the beauty and value of your home.
If an inspection of the door jamb finds it to be sound, selecting a door is next. Choosing the style is entirely up to you. If you need help or just want to see what's available, larger home improvement centers have a good assortment on display. Remember, it must be an exterior door, the same thickness as the one you're replacing, and it should be a blank, meaning that it has not had the hole for the knob drilled or the hinges mortised out. This is because it is uncommon to find the placement of the hinges and door knob to be exactly the same on two doors. In the event of a mismatch, though, the jamb can be re-worked or completely replaced.
To remove the door jamb, you must first remove the door. Using a scratch awl or nail set or even a long nail, say sixteen penny, drive the hinge pin up and out. This will separate the hinge and free the door. Remove the trim around the door opening next. Use a piece of scrap wood between your pry bar or hammer head and the wall to prevent damage to surrounding drywall. Most entrance doors have a threshold (the piece of wood or metal at the bottom of the door jamb). If the threshold is separate from the door jamb, remove it first. The jamb can then be pried out. If the threshold and jamb were installed as one unit they will have to be removed as such. A reciprocating saw will be needed to shear off nails or screws that are holding the jamb to the opening. Pry the jamb from the door frame enough to allow the saw blade to slide freely in between the jamb and the door frame and cut off the nails. When all the nails attaching the door jamb have been severed, the jamb will slide out.
Suppose the door and jamb are adequate and it's the hardware you wish to upgrade. Purchase the hinges and lock set before you start removing them from the existing door, or your home will be without a front door until you do. This is an easy upgrade, everything should fit because location of the lock and hinges won't change and any adjustment should be minor.
When the door and hardware are fine but the door sticks, sanding or using a block plane can be the answer. Care must be taken to avoid sanding off too much, causing the door to fit too loosely. This is a tricky operation that could result in the need for a new door. If the procedure is new to you, contacting qualified help should be considered.
Let's say the door and hardware are sound but the door swings or fits poorly. This could be due to loose screws in hinges at the door attachment or at the jamb. From abuse or other forms of damage, the screw holes can egg out and become too large to hold the hinge securely. First, remove the door and brace it on exposed edge hinges. Remove the hinges and inject a little white glue into the screw hole. Then take small wood scraps about the size of toothpicks and drive them into the hole until no more will fit. Be careful, if large pieces are pounded into the hole, the door could split.
If you're installing a pre-hung door (one that comes with the jamb attached), all you need do in the best case scenario is slide the unit in place and secure it to the frame. If the frame is too large, shims will be needed in between the jamb and the frame to insure it is plumb and snug. Common wood shims will work fine here. If the frame is too small, either the framing must be altered, or, if feasible, a door of correct size will be needed instead.
If you are installing a blank door (one without hinges mortised or locksets drilled out), you will need sharp chisels and/or a router for the hinges and a drill, plus an inch and one quarter drill bit or an expansion bit (a drill bit whose size can be adjusted) to drill out the door knob hole. Locksets come with templates; utilize this to aid in positioning the holes to be drilled. Take all measurements from the top of the door. Any cuts made for length should come off the bottom of the door and any cutting done for width should come off the hinge side. Be certain to allow for any weather stripping or a threshold. The process is the same for installation of dead bolts to new or existing doors.
Make any adjustments in small increments. More can always be cut or sanded off, but if too much is removed, you will likely have to replace the door. For a clean job, the correct tools and adequate experience are needed. If you are lacking in either of these, a qualified professional can help with either advice or the entire service from start to end. Either way, take each step carefully and be safe.

Straight out of the Motor City comes Stash, Detroit's reggae/hip hop pioneers. Over the last 3 years, Stash has regularly filled regional venues with slick grooves, dope rhymes and positive vibes.
Hard work and the constant drive to keep the crowd moving fuels Stash, keeping the music focused. Stash released their first CD, "Gettin' Trim" on February 24, 2006 to a crowd of over 500 people in Detroit, and they plan on keeping their summer schedule filled. Most recently Stash has opened for Long Beach Short Bus (ex-Sublime) in Cleveland, OH, and ripped it up at Ann Arbor, Michigan's famous Hash Bash on April 1st.
The experienced members of Stash have worked and shared stages with many varied acts, some of which include Michael Winslow (Police Academy & Spaceballs), Hush, Black Magic Crossing, Sponge, Thornetta Davis, Atomic Fireballs, Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, the Howling Diablos, The Articles, Groove Collective and members of George Clinton's P-Funk Allstars.
Stash is:
Scott Lowry
Born with an addiction to harmony, Scott Skilz, (a.k.a Scott Lowry) started playing music at a very early age, trying to emulate the styles of bands like the Grateful Dead and Bob Marley, taking an avid interest in the poetic styles of Bob Dylan, KRS-One, Bob Marley, G. Love, Tribe Called Quest, NWA, and many others, who "tell it like it is." He found that his passion for music was overwhelming. After having worked with many bands and fellow artists, he went on to form a vision of combining the reggae hip-hop vibe with messages from his own experiences in a twisted existence, tied in with the jam band feel, and started Stash.
Eric "E-Love" McNary
A veteran of the Detroit music scene, Eric switched from guitar to bass to play with Stash, cutting his teeth on George Clinton, Frank Zappa, Jane's Addiction and James Brown, with healthy doses of Chicago blues, and even acts like Slayer and Motorhead. Always trying to stay versatile, Eric lends backup vocals and guitar to the three-piece. Echoing the rest of Stash, "The crowd is our fuel, and we gotta keep this machine on the road!"
Paul "Tall Paul" Garvey
Paul started his long and arduous quest for "the pocket" at the ripe age of 13. In the following 14 years, bands such as Primus, Sublime, 311, Phish, and Bob Marley and the Wailers sculpted this young drummer into what he is today...a stylistically-funky, pocket drummer. Some would say his quest was over. It was actually just the beginning. In early 1999, he co-founded Stash with lead vocal/guitarist Scott Lowry. After much work finding the right bassist, Stash was finally complete.

text: Stan Keller has been racing off `n on at Firebird for several decades. Tracing back in time, this is his very recognizable `68 Plymouth Roadrunner as it looked back in the mid-70's. Since this early photo pre-dates Firebird's concrete launch pads (which were installed in 1978) this image is well over three decades old. Racing in Super Pro this season, Stan is often joined by his son Anthony who runs a front-engined dragster in the Pro category. Being one of the old school racers who was around during the formative years of the raceway, it's very cool having the owner of Oakley-Moody Service Inc., back in the racing fold with his 426-powered Mopar. Good luck the rest of the season to the Keller family.

Lady Raiders advance in WNIT with win over Tulane

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech found itself in a familiar position during halftime of Sunday's Women's National Invitation Tournament second round game against Tulane.
The Lady Raiders led by seven but were even on the boards at 18 apiece, similar to Thursday night's halftime stats against Eastern Illinois.
But Tech showed its poise, out-rebounded the Green Wave 26-14 in the second half and closed out the game with a 13-5 run to beat Tulane, 69-55, advancing to the WNIT round of 16 for the second time in school history.
Tech (21-13) is now 3-0 against Tulane in the postseason.
"I thought at times in both games we had a chance to go one way or the other and I thought the kids really stuck together and communicated well," Tech head coach Kristy Curry said. "The poise that we are showing at times is really an improvement. We have been really pleased with us making a stop, making a play, making a good decision on both ends of the floor."
Jordan Barncastle's season-high 21 points led three Lady Raiders in double figures. She scored 15 of her 21 in the first half. Casey Morris scored 12 points and Kelsi Baker added 10.
Tulane (23-11) led only for a moment in the opening minutes of the game but would pull within two possessions multiple times in the game but never took back the lead or tied the game.
Tech's biggest challenge was finding an answer for Tulane freshman forward Adesuwa Ebomwonyi. She scored a career-high 19 points and was persistent on the offensive glass in the first half, scoring 12 points with five rebounds and three offensive boards. She had only two rebounds and none of the offensive end in the second half.
"The difference in the game was the boards in the second half," Curry said. "At halftime it was 18-18 and 15-15 the last game. We came back out and did a great job on the glass."
That was mostly in part to Baker's hard work in the second half, grabbing nine rebounds and scoring six points. She finished in double figures for the first time since scoring 12 against Baylor on Jan. 18.
"The team and coaches have shown a lot of confidence in me the whole year and in the times I was in the trenches and not playing so well," Baker said. "They continued to show that confidence. I just want to keep playing well and improve in every aspect of my game."
Tech will host the third round game against San Diego (24-8) at 7 p.m., Thursday, back at United Spirit Arena. The Lady Raiders beat San Diego, 58-57, at Jenny Craig Pavilion on Dec. 30 during the Surf `N Slam Classic. Tech is 4-0 all-time against San Diego. The last time the two met in Lubbock was on Dec. 20, 1993.

A little more than three weeks ago, Oregon was in the national title picture.
It feels more like three months ago.
Oregon went from a national power to a team that can barely beat its struggling in-state rival.
The season had already soured with a blowout loss to Arizona last week, but a loss to Oregon State would mean this season was lost.
Luckily, Marcus Mariota and Josh Huff pulled off some late-game heroics to give the Ducks a thrilling, come-from-behind 36-35 victory in the 117th Civil War on Friday night at Autzen Stadium.
Mariota's 12-yard touchdown pass to Huff with 29 seconds left saved Oregon's season.
While a national title and a Rose Bowl berth were already off the table, the Ducks (10-2) needed this win to head into the bowl season with some momentum.
Huff — who had been maligned by fans for dismissive comments he had made about the Rose Bowl before the Ducks' loss to Arizona — finished with nine catches for 186 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner.
"All week, I've been talking to Marcus about, anytime we're down and we need a big play, just look at me," Huff said. "It was everything I dreamed of, growing up in the backyard, playing with my dad and my cousins. To go out on top against the Beavers, it felt amazing. It's definitely up there as one of the best games I've been in."
But the Ducks — who appear headed for either the Alamo or Holiday Bowl — looked shaky in the first half.
It looked like a misprint on the stat sheet at halftime: 6-12-2. That last number was the most glaring. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota had completed just six of 12 passes and had thrown two interceptions. After going 353 pass attempts without throwing one, he threw two in the second quarter against Oregon State.
Balls on target were dropped, and others were overthrown, sometimes badly.
Mariota was not himself. The Ducks were not themselves. Fourteen of the Beavers' 17 first-half points came off turnovers.
To make matters worse, the Ducks were getting run over by an Oregon State team that entered Friday's game as the 120th-ranked rushing team in the Football Bowl Subdisvion, out of 123. The Beavers finished with 231 rushing yards after entering the game averaging 72.8.
"They certainly got the better of us in the first half," Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich said. "We knew both teams would come out emotional. But we finished. I'm really proud of our effort. These guys brought it. We knew it was going to be a battle. For them to go out like this in that fashion will be something they'll never forget."
Cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, who led the Ducks with 12 tackles and an interception, said the Beavers had a great game plan.
"They were able to get their players in positions to make plays," Ekpre-Olomu said. "They did a great job, but I think we held our ground. This whole week has been emotional for our team, and I think we responded."
Tied at 17 at halftime, the game featured six lead changes in the second half. Huff scored on a 12-yard pass from Mariota on fourth-and-11 to put the Ducks ahead 30-29 with 7:56 left in the game.
After both teams traded punts, quarterback Sean Mannion led the Beavers down the field, and Victor Bolden scored on a 25-yard touchdown to give Oregon State a 35-30 lead with 1:38 left.
It was just enough time for Oregon.
"They scored and I said, perfect, we get more time," Helfrich said. "You try to go back to exactly what it's like in practice."
While it would not be a Heisman moment for Mariota, it would be a chance to prove he could lead his team from behind in a heart-pounding, late-game situation.
"I tried to just focus on not letting the moment get the best of me," Mariota said. "I've always been taught to be calm, cool and collected. That's how I was raised. To me, it was like any other drive. But you can't overlook what it meant."
Mariota finished the game 17 of 34 for 285 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Running back Thomas Tyner rushed for 140 yards and one touchdown.
And Huff, well, his final game at Autzen was a memorable one, as it was for all 20 UO seniors, who won all seven of their home games this year.
"That guy's a warrior," Mariota said of Huff. "He's been making plays like that his whole career. He's a special player."
The Ducks notched 10 wins for the sixth straight season. Only Alabama has a longer streak.
There will be no national title or roses, but beating the Beavers in dramatic fashion seemed to brighten what has been a tough month for Oregon.
"There are no ugly wins," said Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti. "There's only good wins. This was a good win. To be 10-2 is incredible. It's not exactly where we want to be. But that was a fantastic football game."

Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Charlie Marlow Quotes
Quote 7
"I slipped the book into my pocket. I assure you to leave off reading was like tearing myself away from the shelter of an old and solid friendship." (2.10)
Marlow, through the connecting medium of language, feels as though the author of the book is a close friend. It helps stave off some of his loneliness.
Quote 8
"[…] I picked up a book. It had lost its covers, and the pages had been thumbed into a state of extremely dirty softness; but the back had been lovingly stitched afresh with white cotton thread, which looked clean yet. It was an extraordinary find. Its title was, "An Inquiry into some Points of Seamanship", by a man Towser, Towson – some such name - Master in his Majesty's Navy. The matter looked dreary reading enough, with illustrative diagrams and repulsive tables of figures, and the copy was sixty years old. I handled this amazing antiquity with the greatest possible tenderness, lest it should dissolve in my hands. Within, Towson or Towser was inquiring earnestly into the breaking strain of ships' chains and tackle, and other such matters. Not a very enthralling book; but at the first glance you could see there a singleness of intention, an honest concern for the right way of going to work, which made these humble pages, thought out so many years ago, luminous with another than a professional light. The simple old sailor, with his talk of chains and purchases, made me forget the jungle and the pilgrims in a delicious sensation of having come upon something unmistakably real. Such a book being there was wonderful enough; but still more astounding were the notes penciled in the margin, and plainly referring to the text. I couldn't believe my eyes! They were in cipher! Yes, it looked like cipher." (2.9)
Marlow rejoices at the discovery of a book because it gives him a sense of contact with the civilized human world, from which he has been absent from for so long. Despite its boring content, Marlow treasures the book for its attention to how things should be done, its care for correctness – something distinct from Marlow's activities in the last few months. In this world of strange surrealism, Marlow feels the book is a touchstone to reality, especially when he sees handwritten notes in the margin – proof that other men have existed in this place.
Quote 9
"[…] but I have a voice, too, and for good or evil mine is the speech that cannot be silenced." (2.8)
In making his claim that the native Africans are human like white men, Marlow is regarded incredulously by his traveling companions; he feels the need to justify himself. He uses his voice as a vehicle of (what he hopes is) truth. He understands how important it is to have a say, especially after living in the oppressive silence of the interior and hearing Kurtz's harsh and merciless voice.

I've sailed on The Voyager six times out of Galveston. Even when we left hours late because of a fog we always had easy boarding, received our luggage on time and never had a problem with traffic jams. Too bad The Mariner couldn't have made New Orleans its home and just left The Voyager in Galveston.
Even though I live 45 minutes closer to New Orleans I will sail out of Galveston anyday.

Oh Lord! We are heading there next month for a week long cruise to the Western Carribbean. Please have all, or at least most of your issues resolved by then! I am not the unhappy customer you people want to deal with! When we spend that much money, we want it done right and on time!
November 14th, 2011 @ 1:17 pm
hurry up and wait……………. something I learned years and years ago…..it is part of cruising sometimes worse than others! Miami Cruise Port here I come in 13 days!!!!
November 14th, 2011 @ 5:18 pm
My worst embarkation experience was also in New Orleans (& the only cruise I've ever taken out of there) – 2004 on the Carnival Conquest. It was a disaster. We were on the Allure of the Seas last week (& the Oasis last October) – BEST EVER embarkation / debarkation! They have a fantastic terminal set-up.
November 15th, 2011 @ 8:09 am
I sure hope it is just a firt time round to get the kinks out…I am going in Jan sure hope by then will be better. Have never went out of New Orleans and was nervous about this port before I read this.
Mary Lee
November 16th, 2011 @ 11:01 am
I have been out of New Orleans several times. The port is located right behind a convention center, so if there is something going there, the traffic can get rough getting to the port. My advice is to be patient, they are not going to leave without you if they know you are coming.
November 17th, 2011 @ 11:54 am
Oh No! We are cruising on Voyagers of the Seas on Nov. 26th! Gosh, I pray they have all the kinks worked out by then. We are traveling with 2 anxious kids and a senior citizen. Any tips from this weeks cruisers on what to do and what not to do? Any info would be a great help!
November 20th, 2011 @ 12:30 pm
Worst embarkation ever.. That's what I wrote on my satisfaction survey at the end of my cruise. Got to the port at 11:15 took about 30 minute just to check in. No port representative knew where to go when you asked. Very few signs saying where to go. Never again will I sail on the first cruise returning to a port.
November 20th, 2011 @ 3:36 pm
Getting off VOS yesterday wasn't much better. We arrived in port at 0600. The early departees were supposed to be off at 0700. Starting at 0700 announcements were made that the ship was still not cleared. We didn't start unloading until 0740 then something happened with the bridge and they held us up a little longer. Between that and about 2000 idiots (the rest of the people were cool), it was a freaking cluster. Not much better than embarking. Some of the 2000 idiots contributed to that too. Take off the offense you want – I was blown away by sheepish morons on this boat. I was in the buffett line one morning and some jackass started going the opposite direction. Everyone else followed him!! So I am going the right way and he says "it's going from this end, I don't know why but it is" I said, "well it was going the correct way earlier".
Also, after the muster drill, people trying to get to the early seating were crowding the damn door to the dining room so we couldn't get out. Some lady tried to walk against the flow trying to get in to the seating, I said "excuse me for being in your way". Crazy people.

It definitely was a terrible experience. We even had a very rude RCI employee check us in. And dave is right, disembarkation was not any better. People were getting violent over porters to get their luggage out to transportation. We were some of the last to get off the ship and it was crazy trying to get to the airport bus. But, hey, we were just some test cruise for RCI – they say this week's cruise is the maiden voyage/inaugral cruise out of New Orleans for the Voyager. Our experiences will be totally ignored by RCI – the cruise didn't exist in their books.
November 21st, 2011 @ 5:37 pm
I agree with Linda…this cruise felt like some experiment they were doing that failed. Our disembarkation was not bad but we had to ask to figure out where to find our bus. Don't think I'll be sailing from New Orleans again!

Matello Wines
Don't let Matello Wines' small size fool you: Matello makes some Oregon's best Pinot noirs and white wines. Owner and winemaker Marcus Goodfellow is a star of the indie wine set in Portland, well-known among Portland's "foodies".
Marcus's deep knowledge of wine and winemaking began at the Heathman Hotel, where he rose from bus boy to wine expert. He continues his connection to the restaurant community - his Matello Pinot noir was selected for a James Beard dinner in New York City just a few years after he started making wine.
Goodfellow developed his winemaking skills while working closely with Amy Wesselman and David Autrey of Westrey. Matello wines are made from grapes purchased from several locations in the Willamette Valley. Marcus makes some his best wines from Pinot noir grapes sourced from the Whistling Ridge Vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. The vineyard lies directly above Beaux Freres Vineyards.
More About Matello Wines
Marcus' philosophy in winemaking is to "let it be." He allows the natural beauty of the fruit to take center stage and builds a perfectly balanced wine around its natural evolution, without manipulation. Marcus does not alter the young wine's fermentation with yeast, and he uses little new oak. Oak is used for aging to add texture rather than flavor, allowing the fruit to predominate.
Goodfellow's winemaking process results in wines that allow the terroir to shine through. He takes risks and produces unique and memorable wines. Matello is an "Insider" winery worth knowing.
