Nothing brings a greater sense of satisfaction to the trainers at RedLine Athletics than an athlete reaching his or her own personal goals. A partial or full scholarship to a college or university, lowering their time in the 100 yard dash or just improving their cardiovascular conditioning, an athlete's overall well-being is of the utmost concern to all of us at RedLine Athletics. Here are just a few comments from some of our many satisfied athletes:
Mike Bolio +I wanna thank Erik and the whole RedLine staff for not just making me a better trainer but for preparing me for this season. I have never been on a better off-season program than the one Erik Korop put me on. I'm not promoting anything bu…t Erik is hands down the best trainer on the West Coast, if not the country. I also want to thank all of the clients whom I developed a lot of personal relationships with. Just remember to not let anything stand in the way of your goals and dreams, always think BIG!
Sue Velarde +Thank you everyone for taking such good care of Brett at Redline. He is feeling so confident and looking great. All you guys have been wonderful and made us feel welcome. It was actually good for both of us because I feel like I did get motivated to eat better and exercise more often!! Take care
Marcy Levatino +Redline is essential to any student athlete who wants to get their skills and fitness to the next level. Since coming to Redline, I have noticed a dramatic improvement in all areas of my game. Their motto of "speed, power, and core", plays a huge part in the success of any sport. I came to Redline as a committed player and I wanted to be fully prepared for the rigors of Division 1 collegiate athletics as well as be prepared for my senior season of high school. I started two months before the beginning of lacrosse season and not only did I excel in my physical abilities but also in my stick skills as well because of the sport specific training. My coaches as well as parents were blown away by the results. I owe all my success in the future to these guys because they made it all possible. Erik and the rest of the trainers at Redline became a second family to me and because of their readiness to help me reach my goals, I looked forward to training and getting better everyday.
Peter Adams +Redline equipped me with the skills and tools I needed to compete at the division 1 level. Being explosive is the key to succeeding in football, and that is exactly what Erik helped me to achieve. Erik, Lyndsey and the entire staff were dedicated to increasing my strength, flexibility and speed so that I could achieve my goals. I have done lots of offseason training in my athletic career but nothing ever prepared me as well as Erik's plan. They really gave me the individual attention that I needed be ready for the season and to grow as an athlete. Thank you Erik and Lyndsey and Redline Staff
Ian Castellana +RedLine Athletics provided me an opportunity to tap into the physical potential I did not realize I had. When I first came to RedLine, I had two years under my belt at the volleyball powerhouse UC Irvine. I nearly died struggling to do the workouts, even though I trained with a pretty sophisticated weight program at school. RedLine emphasizes the physical and mental toughness for an athlete to truly be the most successful at his or her sport. I used to be able to reach above eleven feet on approach in high school, but became loaded down and lost a ton of vertical. RedLine gave me the boost and increased my approach vertical up to eleven and a half feet and standing vertical to exactly eleven feet! Now, when I am blocking balls at practice, I always get hit in the head. Guys always ask, "Are you okay?", and I am so glad my head can get hit, I just relish it. Erik Korop and the rest of the trainers want the best for you, and hope for you to succeed. They are just as good morally as they are smart in training your body. Redline is my ticket to becoming an excellent volleyball player for years to come (hopefully)!
Zach Richmond +Before going to RedLine, playing baseball at the next level wasn't looking like an option for me. But the great people at RedLine believed in me and did everything they could to get me to where I needed to be. With RedLine's help I am now under scholarship playing baseball at a four year university. Deciding to train at RedLine was the best decision I have ever made and I want to thank everyone in the RedLine family for everything they have done for me because without them none of this would be possible.
Devin Powers-Davis +In the fall leading up to my last season of college baseball at University of California-San Diego I was released from the team. After being released I thought my baseball career was over. But, after working with the staff at RedLine for the winter, I am on my way to coach and play baseball overseas in Tulln, Austria. I would never have thought I could go from having no baseball career to getting paid to travel and play in Europe! Thank you RedLine, I can't wait to see where you'll take me during the next off-season.
Mark Roknich +RedLine Makes a Difference! My daughter has always loved to play sports. But thanks to the trainers at RedLine Athletics, I've watched my daughter make a noticeable transformation to an athlete ready to compete at the college level. Not only are the trainers at RedLine generous with their time, but they take a personal interest in the success of their athletes on and off the field, court, or pool. Their expertise is obvious – from implementing the latest professional training techniques to monitoring and addressing conditions that might lead to injury – I have quickly grown comfortable that my daughter is in a professionally managed, but fun, high-energy environment that keeps her motivated. The fact that Lauren eagerly stops at RedLine for training or batting practice after a long day of school or after her regular team practices speaks volumes for the culture created for the athletes at RedLine. Speed, Power, Core. It appears as though those words are more than a motto at RedLine. I've seen my daughter improve in all three categories of fitness. I only wish I had an opportunity to train at a place like RedLine when I was a high school athlete. The atmosphere at RedLine is contagious. For any parent who places a value on personal training, and personal attention for their children, RedLine is THE facility in South Orange County worth your consideration.
RedLine Cares!! +I just want to say thank you, RedLine, for all you have done for my boys. The dedication to what you do and the enthusiasm are appreciated, but it goes way beyond that. When my oldest started working out at RedLine, I knew immediately, after seeing what you do that he would eat it up! All he's ever thought about is play, play, play, work, work, work, and the more he plays, the more he wants to work! He has grown so much and I know that RedLine is a big influence on him. The training staff are people he looks up to, big time! On the other hand, when my youngest came to me and told me he wanted to do RedLine, I was a bit nervous. Whereas my oldest has enough confidence for an entire team, the younger forgot to get in that line when he was born. I've always known he had every bit as much physical talent as his older brother, but he never knew it! Well, Little Mister "I Suck" has taken to RedLine like a duck to water. Now he lives, breathes, and sleeps baseball!! When I see him, hour after hour, in the backyard throwing the ball against the wall, or hitting the wiffle balls, or dragging his dad to the field, it makes me want to cry. It hasn't been easy being the "little brother", both on the field and in the classroom, but he is starting to believe in himself and he's finally found something he truly loves! He looks forward to every day he gets to come see the RedLine guys! As a teacher, I "get" that kids look up to certain people, and as a mom of these two boys, I know they are obviously going to look up to athletes. I am thrilled that they have gotten to know RedLine's staff, and truly appreciate that they care! My boys think the world of RedLine, and for that I am truly thankful!
Johnny Bowden +I am in my fourth year of professional baseball and in the last three years I have tried to train on my own, it was not until I came to RedLine that I got the right direction and instruction that helped me take my game to a new level. To compete against the best you need an edge and RedLine gave me that edge. They helped me become the most athletic and explosive player I could be, helping me achieve the off-season goals I need to compete against big league baseball players. Thank you RedLine for your help and I look forward to another off-season with you next year

Tech Philosophy
Technology Overview
Teachers and students at Bishop O'Dowd High School, use technology as an innovative tool to inspire and build 21st century skills. As a result, the Bishop O'Dowd community embraces the integration of technology into the curriculum as a fundamental strategy for effectively preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of their unique generation.
Getting Technology Assistance
The Technology Support Center is located in room 209 in the main classroom building. It is staffed by Brian Payawal and student helpers.
Students and parents can get help with Schoology and PowerSchool by visiting the Technology Training Center in room 124. You can also contact Gavin Maeda by email or phone.
At Bishop O'Dowd High School, technology is a tool to aid teachers and students in their work and learning. As a result, technology is infused into the curriculum and the life of the Bishop O'Dowd community. Teachers use technology to teach, manage their grades, and communicate both internally and externally. Students use technology as a tool of research, composition, creation, presentation, management, and communication. The technology department strives to provide technology that resides in the background of the classroom appearing invisible and working seamlessly for faculty, students, and staff.
Technology Staff and Responsibilities
The Bishop O'Dowd One to One Laptop Program
The One-to-One Laptop Program supports Bishop O'Dowd High School's mission of preparing students to thrive in the 21st century. We seek to make learning more accessible and relevant, to ignite our students' natural desire to learn and to prepare them for college and a rapidly changing world where the information landscape is networked, digital, and overwhelmingly abundant.
This research-based program teaches the proper use of a laptop or tablet device and our software keeps students organized, facilitates access to the world's information base, and teaches higher-order thinking and research skills. Laptops help engage students of differing interests and learning styles.

Parent benefits from the 1:1 laptop program
- Flexibility to purchase a laptop from Bishop O'Dowd with extended warranties that provide on-campus hardware and software technical support and repair.
- Purchase or bring a school approved Windows or MacBook laptop and pay a yearly technology/ebook fee. This option requires parents to purchase an extended warranty, which provides off-campus technical support at the responsibility of the student/families.
Bishop O'Dowd's 1:1 laptop program allows students and their families to choose the best computing device that creates and sustains an authentic educational experience to effectively and ethically cope with this new information landscape. It prepares students to take their place in the economies of the 21st century.

Toshiba laptops and Tablet PCs purchased by students (class of 2014 to 2016) are covered under a four year warranty. They can use them until they graduate or they can opt to purchase a new laptop.
I am a returning student and I want to purchase the new O'Dowd laptop. How much will it cost?
The price of the O'Dowd laptop for returning students is $1,188 with a 3-year extended warranty.
If I am a returning student, can I bring my own laptop?
Returning students can bring in another computer that meets the minimum system requirements of our BYOL program.
What happened to the Pen-Enabled Tablet PCs?
In response to market trends and client feedback, our Tablet PC vendor, Toshiba, has decided to "phase out" their M-780 Tablet PC. While moving forward in our plan to offer families a choice between the O'Dowd laptop option and a BYOL option, Bishop O'Dowd's Technology Department will continue to offer on-site hardware and software support for students who have a Toshiba Pen-Enabled Tablet PC.
What are your plans for tablet/slate support and use in the classroom?
Bishop O'Dowd will continue to be at the forefront of educational technology use. We are developing a faculty-driven cohort to study, test, and explore the educational potential and use of tablet/slate computing devices, such as the Apple iPad and Windows 8 tablets. Any future classroom use of these devices must come from a sound pedagogical, research-backed, informed decision, and not merely as a passing fad. In the meantime, Bishop O'Dowd is making improvements to its network architecture and support framework to accommodate future use of mobile devices for learning.
How do I connect my student's laptop to my home network?
Due to the numerous possible configurations, it is advisable to contact your service provider for assistance.
How do I connect my student's laptop to a home printer?
Most printers come with a software CD with the required drivers and instructions for installation. If the CD is not available, most manufacturers' web sites will have the latest software available for download. Follow the manufacturers' instructions for installation and configuration.
Can I install home software or hardware applications on my student's laptop?
Yes. You may install other programs on the laptop as long as they do not interfere with the computer for school work. If a problem occurs because of a third party installation of software or hardware not included in the original image (when you first received your laptop), O'Dowd is not liable for loss or corruption of data. In cases when harmful or illegal software is downloaded or installed, O'Dowd will charge a re-image fee of $25.
What warranty comes with the laptops?
Laptops purchased through the school come with a three year which includes Accidental Damage Protection. This protection covers non-intentional liquid spills in or on the unity, drops, falls, collisions, and electrical surges as well as damaged or broken LCD displays. It does not cover theft, loss, normal wear, consumables and intentional acts of damage.
What is not covered under the warranty?
The warranty does not cover theft, loss, normal wear, consumables and intentional acts of damage.
The warranty covers Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH). It does not include protection against normal wear and tear, theft, mysterious disappearance, misplacement, viruses, reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct associated with handling and use, cosmetic damage and/or other damage that does not affect the functionality of the device.
Defective power adapters and batteries are covered under the warranty. If the power adapter and/or battery has been lost, stolen, or has physical damage, it will not be covered.
If damage to the laptop is recurring, and is discovered to be due to intentional, reckless handling, the parent will be notified and the warranty may become voided. If this happens, parents will be responsible for the cost of repairs.
What can the Tech Support Center fix?
If you choose the O'Dowd Laptop Option, most hardware malfunctions are fixable on-site. The Tech Support Center stocks many of the parts needed to repair the laptops. Occasionally, a part must be ordered. In this case the student may receive an available loaner laptop to use while the repair is being made.
Do you provide loss/theft insurance?
Bishop O'Dowd does not provide loss or theft insurance for student laptops. It is required, however, that electronic device insurance for student laptops be purchased or covered under a homeowner policy.
Worth Ave Group/Student Insurance Partners has provided Bishop O'Dowd families an exclusive discount on electronic device insurance, which protects the laptop against accidental damage, theft, vandalism, and will provide replacement cost coverage. Visit my.worthavegroup.com/bishop for form information.
What do we do if the laptop is lost or stolen?
If your laptop is lost or stolen on campus, you should check with the Technology Support Center immediately to see if anyone has turned it in. You may also be asked to check with the deans and security. If you believe your computer has been permanently lost or stolen, you should file a police report and contact your insurance provider.
If you purchased a Toshiba M780 laptop from Bishop O'Dowd (classes of 2013-2014 only), laptops that are lost or stolen must be immediately reported to the Technology Department. Parents must file a police report and bring a copy to the Technology Support Center (room 209) so that a claim can be filed with the insurance company and the recovery process can begin.
What if I have a problem with my laptop, operating system, or Bishop O'Dowd course-specific software during the school year?
Bishop O'Dowd is one of the few schools in the bay area that offers a fully-staffed technology support center.
If you chose the O'Dowd Laptop Option, repairs are made on-campus by Apple, HP, and Toshiba certified employees and trained student helpers. The Technology Support Center is located in room 209.
If you chose the Bring Your Own Laptop Option, you are responsible for the repair of your laptop. This typically requires you to locate an authorized repair location (such as an Apple Store's Genius Bar or Best Buy's Geek Squad) and take the laptop to that location for repair.
Loaner laptops are available for students free of charge when repairs are required. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that their academic work is not disrupted during the repair of their laptops. Please note that teachers are not expected to adjust their lessons or assignments to accommodate for the repair of the student's laptop computer.
Troubleshooting and technology assistance is also provided in the Technology Training Center in room 124.
What if school is not in session?
The Technology Support Center (room 209) and the Technology Training Center (room 124) is staffed during normal school days, from 8:00am-3:30pm. During the summer, support hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00am-12:00pm.
Support is also available by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Is training for the laptops provided?
Technology training and support is accomplished through an extensive new student orientation, online self-help videos, and skill steps available 24/7 in Schoology. Support and training is also available at the Technology Training Center in room 124.
New Students will go through a Tech Check before they start at Bishop O'Dowd, to make sure that their computer meets our minimum system requirements and they have access to O'Dowd system software and accounts.
Technology support and training outside the scope of O'Dowd course specific software, eBooks and Internet-based services will not be provided.
What are the student's responsibilities with the laptop?
Students are expected to read and abide by the Bishop O'Dowd High School Technology Policies. This covers acceptable use with respect to all technology resources, including laptop computers, cell phones, and video and audio equipment. The Technology Policies also specifies expectations and acceptable use related to copyright, security, privacy, vandalism/hacking, and use of multi-media devices.
What are my responsibilities as a parent with the laptop?
Parents are also expected to read and abide by the Bishop O'Dowd High School Technology Policies. In addition, parents are expected to partner with the Technology Department to ensure that proper safety and use of the laptops is carried out by the student. Parents are encouraged to contact the Technology Department with any questions and issues related to their student's laptop for use at home or school.
How are the students going to carry the laptops around campus?
Laptops must be carried in a carrying case at all times. We recommend putting the laptops in a soft or sturdy sleeve or a hard case before putting it in their backpacks. Some backpacks contain separate padded sleeves for laptops. A sturdy case can offer protection from being placed in lockers or being jostled while traveling from class to class.
Will there be space available for students to store the laptops during/after school?
When not being carried by the student, laptops must be locked in his or her locker inside the classroom building only. The gym lockers (outside the classroom buildings) are not secure and laptops should never be brought in there or left unattended at any time.
What if my student participates in after school sports?
Students should lock their laptops in their lockers in the classroom building only. If they are attending an after school event, including an away game, the laptop needs to be secured in the classroom building locker before boarding the bus or going to practice. Campus security will let students back into the classroom building when they return from the game if needed. Never bring the laptop on the bus, leave it in the gym, in the locker rooms, on the fields, or in a car in view or in a backpack. It will get stolen.
Will this laptop last all four years?
The average life of a well-maintained laptop is three to four years. Regular care will help your laptop last longer. An important part of owning a laptop is regular updating and maintenance, and with care and upkeep, laptops should last students all four years at Bishop O'Dowd.
Faculty & Technology
Bishop O'Dowd teachers incorporate technology into their class design and instruction, in consultation with the Technology Team and the school administration. Teachers are committed to continually update their technology skills by attending professional development opportunities and working one on one with the Technology Team. Teachers are encouraged and supported to incorporate innovate software as appropriate to their courses.
Examples of Classroom Use
The 1:1 laptop program revolutionizes the way teachers and students interact. Schoology is a learning management system (LMS) that all teachers and students use to communicate in and out of class. Teachers will post homework, labs, videos, presentations, and other class resources. Students and teachers can interact through blogs, discussion boards, and live sessions. Students also utilize many course specific programs including, LoggerPro, Geogebra, Membean, MathType, and the Microsoft Office Suite. In addition, students have access to the digital content of the Library and other research tools. All students receive training on the use of these programs and services during freshman orientation or during the course of the year when classes are in session.
PowerSchool is the online grading report system all teachers use. Parents have access to their student's assignments and grades, allowing parents to collaborate with teachers. Parents and students have complete access to view up-to-the-minute grades. Parents and students see the current grade as well as a breakdown of the grade by assignment. We believe this transparency allows us to help students take responsibility for their academic performance performance as well as allowing a true partnership between teacher and parent.
Naviance - Family Connection is a service that allows parent and students to partner with the counseling department in career and college planning. Starting in the freshman year, students begin to formulate their interests for life-long planning and learning.

Ahh Islay!
So, I am off to Islay tomorrow to work for a few days and this is something to seriously look forward to. If you have been to Islay then you will undoubtedly know where I am coming from! My job involves a huge amount of travel around Europe which I enjoy hugely but when the opportunity comes to go to Islay, I look forward to it like no other trip.
It is almost when you arrive the Islay feeling gets into you. It must be that salty air! Spending time at the distillery makes you realise that this is where all of the Bowmore story orginates from and it makes you feel quite humble. For over 230 years our little distillery has been producing this wonderful spirit and leaving it to mature slowly in the No. 1 Vaults.
If you ever get the opportunity to come to Islay, jump at it with both hands! A magical Island only a 30 minute flight from Glasgow or 3 hours by car and a 3 hour ferry ride! It is a trip you will never forget! The following website has many pointers on what the Island can offer (www.islayinfo.com) and of course you can stay in our amazing cottages and do one of our great tours.

James Dean doesn't have a lock on icon status
–, Wednesday, January, 30, 2008, (11:57pm)
THE "experts" are now saying that Heath Ledger's passing will be just that - passing - because somehow in the Internet Age we can't keep out attention fixed on anything for more than 15 seconds of fame.
I personally think this is rubbish.
But Karal Ann Marling doesn't. The professor of American studies and popular culture at the University of Minnesota told usatoday.com it's natural for everyone to feel sad about the death of any young person, famous or not. But the overwhelming interest in Ledger's death will soon fade, she predicts.
"They're not going to put a bust of him in Griffith Park" in Los Angeles, says Marling. "This is more about the cult of celebrity and about diversion — the country is so celebrity-mad almost anything a celebrity does is worthy of news, and most of that is just avoidance of politics (coverage)."
But I would suggest Prof Marling consider the shock death of Croc Hunter Steve Irwin. There are busts of him.
Sure, there are the likes of Anna-Nicole Smith, whose untimely demise capture mega attention for a little while before interest faded fast. The reason? She really didn't do anything of note.
But Heath Ledger is different. And James Dean doesn't have a lock on icon status.
Have Your Say
Mr Ledger's death is very sad and a terrible tragedy for his family and those who knew him but to compare him with James Dean is going completely over the top. The truth is that while a fine actor only one performance and film - Brokeback Mountain - is likely to last. The story will inevitably fade, around the world at least. Australians put a remarkable amount of stock on their celebrities, viewing their successes as some kind of collective national success, which is immature and a bit odd. Especially considering most of them are quick to make their homes elsewhere (sure, they may come back to escape the northern winter for a couple of months and pledge their love for all things Australia but the truth is that they're out and glad to be out). So desperate are Australians for their own celebrity icons that they even try and co-opt foreigners with the slightest link to the country. How pathetic was all that "Aussie Ana" stuff at the tennis? One of the world's biggest stars, Madonna, lives in Britain but to my knowledge the Poms have never tried to "claim" her. They don't need to. The Australian media seems to be taking national offence at the fact that while a big story for a few days to help feed the 24-hour rolling news machine, in global terms Heath Ledger was probably a third level celebrity and the story will fade away. One family has lost someone they love, that should be enough.

In twenty or thirty years time people will still be showing up to fancy dress parties as James Dean. Can the same be said of Heath?
Thu 31 Jan 08 (05:30am)
I believe Heath will be a legend. If busts of him are to be built then I say yes. His life though terribly short, was a full and talented one. Anyone who brings pleasure to the masses should be placed into that iconic status. I for one will miss him , but luckily we have his work to remember him by.

The Emporers New Clothes revisited. The only ones that should be whipping themselves into a lather over this bloke are the writers (I hesitate to call them journalists),and photographers for those journals of great knowledge and wisdom - Who Weekly,Zoo Weekly etc. They have one less juicy subject with which to fill their rags.
A good young actor carked it. Get over it. Tragedies of this magnitude happen every day as young men lose their lives and whole families suffer for it.
The coverage this bloke has had in death is disproportionate to his fame in life and only goes to underline that Parliament hasn't yet gone back so there is little else to writeabout. Look at the biggest 2 stories of the last week or two. Corey and now Keith, I mean Heath. What a total beat up.
Thu 31 Jan 08 (06:07am)
As sad as it is, how he is remembered will be strongly influenced by the announcemnet as to the cause of death.
At the moment, everyone is feeling how bad it is for a 28 year old, with a beautiful daughter with the world at his feet to die so young.
Sadly, if it turns out that it was the result of a drug overdose, he will be seen by many in a different light, as having thrown his life away.
No matter, it is still very sad.
Thu 31 Jan 08 (08:53am)
devils advocate here…
what if there were drugs at Heath's unit--and that they were the focus of Miss Olsen's men to "sort out" before the ambulance arrived......
stranger things have been known to have happened…
of course, only devils advocate
Thu 31 Jan 08 (09:51am)
Thu 31 Jan 08 (01:44pm)
Devil's advocate!? No, just being stupid. Seriuously....are you one of these people that think the goverment have aliens in some underground facilty?!?! Does there ALWAYS have to be a conspiracy behind everything!? You didn't know the guy....EVERYONE who makes these assumptions/statements, didn't know the guy! Just let the man rest in peace....his family does not need to read such nonsense!!
Let him rest in peace......
Thu 31 Jan 08 (10:00am)
If he was on drugs he has paid the ultimate price,now the media will gain nothing but contempt by rehashing this subject,let the poor sole rest in peace,they who are pure cast the first stone..LET HIM REST IN PEACE…
Thu 31 Jan 08 (10:24am)
Sorry, I was distracted. What was your point again? Heath who?
Thu 31 Jan 08 (10:28am)
You can't compare Heath to Irwin. Irwin didn't need celebrity gossip props ups by you guys every second week to maintain in the spotlight. Irwin was a great family guy where mum , dad and kids can watch his documentaries, learn something, and enjoy seeing a young girl get familiar with her dad's life and work, and inspire other little kids out there, like we have seen. Heath is just another actor who died young. If I never ever bought a celebrity mag, never ever read your confidential, never ever read the Internet, never ever watched any of his movies.... then Heath is just another overdose death. Heath read a script, learnt his lines, and acted, role played in front of a camera. If we can forget the likes of Mother Teressa, while still weeping and discussing Diana's death, it just shows that without your manufactured stories and attention seeking artcles that are aimed at selling pages and making $$$ for all of you in the Industry, Heath's death , is just that, another young man dying beacuse of his negligent , selfish habits.
But you can still love him as much you want. Each to his own !

Until(and if) the autopsy details are made public all conclusions drawn from previous 'drug espisodes' are pure speculation.
Unless you have detailed knowledge of a persons' medical history and know that person very well you are just guessing (and filling up newspapers and blogs with hot air)
Give it a rest
Thu 31 Jan 08 (11:22pm)
Heath shied from the media, Steve Irwin loved it. Both have died. Steve doing what he loved and allegedly Heath doing what he loved. Where is the difference? Both risked life and both died. Shouldn't they both be remembered as aussie icons. Both were risking life and both died doing what they loved. RIP Heath and Steve.
The family are keeping things low kwy - and for a reason - they have lost a family member and a child has lost her father. Please, media, have some respect - the poor man is not even buried yet and we are finiding "stories" to muddy his name.
A good actor yes, a legend...no! Just a young man who died early, with acting skills and a persona that was alluring.
Time to let the family say their goodbyes without romour or inudendo - respect is what needs to be displayed here and let the Media continue to give us pathethic Britney stories instead!!
Thu 31 Jan 08 (11:11am)
What exactly is your point? Oh that's right, you didn't make one ...
Thu 31 Jan 08 (11:14am)
Way off the mark John. Even real celebs such as John Lennon have ben largely forgotten by the majority. James Dean & ELVIS were larger than life figures from an era of real superstars. And having a bust made in some country town doesn't mean you will be remembered.
Thu 31 Jan 08 (11:35am)
Please enough attention to this overrated so called actor. Let him rest in peace.

summed it up
Heath Ledger was VERY lucky, not that talented and got paid truck loads of money for it. In the end, he pissed it away and we are meant to feel sorry for him or laud him as some tragic figure?
In a few years it will be like River Phoenix or Brad Renfro - we will see their names while watching re-runs and say "he's dead, right?"
Finally Australian newspapers are getting on board with the real truth (probably bcoz they have made heaps of money by glamorising him already) behind the death of the so called legend and drug addict Heath....
I feel for Heaths family, his kid and his death at just 28 is a real tragedy. However honouring him to be some sort of a legend or hero at the end of his drug inflicted life, is disrespecting thousands of families who have lost loved ones to drug addiction. We shouldn't be worshipping any sort of lifestyle that will destroy our family structure or society.
Yep Heath Ledger is different. He was materially rich but spiritually poor. Lost on most important aspects - love, joy and peace - of his life and gave up his life at such an young age. Do you think he should be promoted as a role model for our youngsters? I think not.
Thu 31 Jan 08 (11:48am)
One must respect the passing of any human being and sympathise with the families that bear the loss but the hero worship that goes on is misdirected. Both Dean and Ledger had the perfect opportunity to try and influence young people for the better but sadly, despite their enormous talents, they have not been role models for good.
Thu 31 Jan 08 (01:14pm)
James Dean certainly had a fantastic "cool" image but seemed a troubled soul but his acting was always over-rated. He was very good but if you watch his few films he tends to over-act. Heath Ledger was a far better actor and as Mel Gibson said-was probably going to be one of the greats. Heath's death is very sad but it's also a great loss to the acting craft as was the other great actor Rivers Phoenix. But Phoenix-who was incredibly good looking and had a marvellous persona is largely forgotten. Sadly-I don't think Heath will be remembered much in a few years as Dean has been. He isn't "legend" material. Vale Heath.
Thu 31 Jan 08 (01:25pm)
Mistake me if i am wrong but if he was smoking 5 joints a day for 20 years, that means he was only 8 when he started! that doesnt seem right.
Thu 31 Jan 08 (02:17pm)
So the guy was a junkie why are we so surprised. You have to wonder with these junkies how great an actor or athlete they'd be without the junk. They are just normal people put in abnormal positions. Why doesn't the media choose to immortalise the average person doing the a positive action? What about the dad or the mom who spends their whole day looking after their kids or something like that? To me they deserve the focus and admoration not some young junkie stoned out of his mind 24/7
Thu 31 Jan 08 (02:27pm)
What the hell is the point of this john rolfe? you barely have an opinion! miss the point of a blog, perhaps?

SO HEY GUESS WHAT! Like most people enjoying (LOATHING) this incredibly terrible heat wave that's scorched America from sea to boiling sea, I spent the day being very lazy and doing a whole lot of nothing and was very set on keeping it that way because it is Sunday and who doesn't want to do nothing on Sunday so I was going to do that and maybe play video games or rewatch series 6 of Doctor Who and lay upside down on my sofa as one does and then after I took a very wonderful evening nap I woke up at 7:45 and realized OMG TRUE BLOOD IS ABOUT TO START THERE WENT ALL OF MY NO PLANS. And you know what? I am GLAD I stopped doing nothing because this was a very good episode! Not great, but very very good! Small victories!
Tara has embraced her vampire affliction and is now working the bar in Fangtasia. Pam took note of how she sashayed, Shantay, Heather on the runway through the place in an outfit she loaned her, to which Tara responded, "If I wanted to look like a drag queen, I'd have raided Lafayette's closet" which is the first time I've laughed at a Tara line in YEARS. Oh Tara, I have a newfound love for you. Don't #$% it up. After Tara nearly had her head ripped off by Pam for attempting to bite a human in front of everyone, Jessica sauntered over and they bonded over being newbie vampires and how great it felt to feed on a human for the first time, but just as you think they're legit besties now and are totally gonna watch Girls and laugh about who's a Marnie and who's a Jessa (I'm such a Shosh.), the two got in a knockdown dragout fight when Jessica heard Hoyt's voice coming from Tara's bathroom stall. They might both be vampires now, but irregardless, ex-boyfriends are just off limits to friends.
After waking from a dream where he was in Masters of the Universe jammies, eating breakfast with his very much alive parents and tiny tot Sookie, Jason found himself naked in his house with no recollection of how he got there. Andy's night was much the same, with the last thing each remembering was the fairies light blasting their faces. Instead of spending much time investigating Sam's dead shifter friends (aside from finding out they were shifters), Andy focused on deciding to have nothing to do with the fairies and focus on Holly. Which is fine because thanks to his intrepid sheriff skills, Sam and Luna ended up shot too in a weird drive-by at Luna's by hillbillies in dime store Halloween masks. Are they dead? Who knows! Here's hoping maybe!
Terry Bellefleur and fallen oak tree Scott Foley were tied up by their crazy comrade and asked if they were followed by something, which, no, they were not. Not even the people at home are trying to follow this, amirite? I'm right. As it turns out, the reason why houses keep burning down is because one of the civilians that got caught in the crossfire in Iraq managed to survive, but used bingo card Scott Foley ordered Terry to kill her, and she CURSED THEM WITH HER LAST BREATH. So now they're being stalked by an Ifrit which is something I only know from playing Final Fantasy VIII in the 10th grade. This Ifrit though is not a giant horned demon beast that inspires disturbing fan art (never google image search 'Ifrit', you guys), but is actually a poorly animated smoke monster that smothered and killed their comrade after J. Crew orderform Scott Foley and Terry Bellefleur managed to escape.
Things got downright hot and heavy for Sookie and Alcide, but right as he was about to show off how he earned his Magic Mike role, Sookie barfed all over his boots. Eric and Bill were standing in her bedroom doorway as it happened, which is gross because what were they going to do? Stand there and wait for them to finish before interrupting or hope for a wonderful moment such as this so they wouldn't have to interrupt? Not okay, you two. The pressure is really on Bill & Eric now, as they get a call from Mac who says they have one more day to find Russell before they're executed. Sookie agrees to help them and says "Let's boot and rally" which I had to google because what does that even mean? Apparently, according to Urban Dictionary, it's when you drink to excess, throw up, then drink some more, which is a terrible idea. I felt like a real actual grown up for having not known what that meant or that it was even possible. This seems like something people under 23 get really excited about the possibility of doing, but it is the worst idea I have ever heard of. Pretty sure throwing up is not a sign you should refill the tank but a sign your car needs to be towed home. I worked really hard on that line, send me all the moneys. BOOT AND RALLY.
The only other person who knows about Russell's whereabouts is Doug the construction manager so Sookie uses her super cool psychic powers to retrace his steps, as he was glamoured by the vampire who had him dig up Russell. A vampire who turns out to be female member of the Authority, who I will bet you is Salome. Doug gets scared once they reach the hospital Russell's being kept in and laments that he's never been to New York, and Eric says it smells like pee and the people are rude which I find to be patently false. Okay, yes, it smells like pee, but if you want to meet rude people you should try grocery shopping at the River Oaks Kroger on West Gray. THOSE people are rude. (EDIT: I mean the shoppers, not the employees. Hollywood Star Service or whatever bell they make us socially awkwards ring when they perform their jobs sufficiently. The shoppers though deserve a foot or two run over with a buggy.)
After finding a room full of live humans hung up on hooks in body bags up to their necks, the group finds a recovering Russell Edgington lying in a bed and looking much better than the fetal Darth Maul he was in Sookie's visions. He doesn't have the strength to get out of bed just yet, but he is as delightfully witty as ever and I can't for him to get out of that bed and start chewing that scenery.
True Blood airs Sundays at 8PM on HBO. Nathan also watches Spartacus.

"The Christmas tree is the center piece," said Joannie Smith, who owns River Ridge Christmas Tree Farm in Commerce with her husband, Jerry. "There's nothing like a tree you can look up to and be amazed by the lights and all the ornaments on it. It's just your holiday centerpiece."
River Ridge gets its trees for sale from Wautoma, Wis., and began selling them for the season Nov. 18.
"We've always specialized in the taller trees," Smith said. "I see some customers that normally have a tree and this year they're going with the taller ones."
River Ridge offers trees up to 15 feet, selling mostly Fraser and Balsam firs, Smith said. But the most common height is between 7 and 8 feet.
"The majority of the people don't have a vaulted ceiling," Smith said.
Irwin Loiterstein, a Christmas tree wholesaler in St. Louis who works with growers nationwide, said tall trees are in demand, but so are tiny ones suited to apartments and condominiums.
''There's been big surge in smaller and taller trees,'' said Loiterstein, who serves on the board of directors of the National Christmas Tree Association. ''I had a bunch of them last week and got rid of them, and all of sudden I'm getting calls all over the place.''
U.S. consumers plan to buy about the same number of real Christmas trees this year as in 2004, according to the results of a nationwide poll conducted by Harris Interactive.
The poll, conducted for the National Christmas Tree Association, projects that 24 percent of U.S. households will purchase a real Christmas tree in 2005 which would be about 27 million trees. Last year, 27.1 million U.S. households purchased a farm-grown Christmas tree. One-third as many households (8 percent) will purchase an artificial tree in 2005, according to the poll.
"One of the reasons people like real trees is the smell and the fact that they're real. And the prices are real cheap," said Sikeston Lowe's manager Matt Seabaugh.
At Lowe's in Sikeston, the largest trees for sale were 12 feet tall, Seabaugh said. "And we've sold out of those," he said.
However, most trees, which are Douglas and Fraser firs and Scotch pines, sold during the Christmas season at Lowe's are between 6 and 7 feet tall with the best seller being the Fraser fir, Seabaugh said.
"Honestly, tree sales really picked up for us when the weather turned cold, and it boosted our traffic of trees," Seabaugh said.
Garden Lane Nursery began selling Fraser firs Nov. 21, said owner Jim McCall.
"Typically, to sell Christmas trees, it needs to be on the cold side," McCall said.
Garden Lane offers taller tree sizes ranging from 8-, 9- and 10-foot trees, but the 7- and 8-foot trees are most popular, McCall said.
Both McCall and Smith said they think real Christmas tree sales are up this year.
Another trend this year was the increase in sales of trees prior to Thanksgiving.
"This is the first year we started selling before Thanksgiving weekend," McCall said.
McCall contributed the surge in pre-Thanksgiving sales to fallen gas prices.
"We sold more trees before Thanksgiving than ever before," Smith said.
But Smith said she isn't sure why there was an increase.
"I've been in the business almost 30 years, and I haven't figured it out yet," Smith said. "A lot of people want the perfect tree so the sooner they come out, the better tree selection they'll have."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Sometimes things just don't make the final cut of a project.
There is a book on marriage coming out at some point in the not-too-distant future, published by OSV, to which Hallie and I have contributed a chapter. The following is a section that ended up on the chopping block, and I thought you might either 1) enjoy it, or, 2) exclaim loudly: "Thanks be to Almighty God they didn't print THAT gangrenous blob of mummery!"
So, here it is, fresh out of my computer's trash bin:
The assignment for this chapter was to provide some hope for married people. One cause for hopelessness may lie in these facts: the supernatural grace given in the Sacrament of Marriage exists in union with everyday life; the latter is visible, the former is invisible; the latter is prosaic, the former is profound; the latter is frustrating and cruel, the former is the life of God breathing peace and charity. These are opposite things. Only God knows how to weave them together so that the latter is taken up into the former and perfected—how can we regular folk, who are year in and year out writhing in pain to bring forth children or toiling with sweaty faces to coax thorn-covered crops from the cursed ground, be expected to worthily live the vocation of marriage that God gives to us?
There are great practical how-to tips out there. There is good advice galore. There are wise friends and relatives to lean on. There are brilliant books, savvy articles, prayers, popes and saints, all of who and of which we should avail ourselves until death do we part. But here is what really makes a Christian marriage work: Christ. Jesus must be the center.
There really is no substitute for Him. "If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple" (Lk 14).
Jesus clearly appreciated the hyperbolic idioms of his people. He didn't mean literally 'hate' anyone, the way a person hates Nazism. He just means put him in the center. Love him more than anything. Even when you are holding your newborn baby in your arms, give him back to God: "Lord, I thank you for giving me this amazing gift…" He will give that baby right back to you, because that's where he intends for him to be, but if you try to claim your children entirely as your own, and then think that they can satisfy your soul entirely—as wonderful and precious as they are—you will end up unhappy. If I say, "I will give everything I have to my family," in the end, I won't. I can't. Jesus must be the center, first, and then I will be able to be the spouse and parent God wants me to be.
That's the primary ingredient in a successful Christian marriage: Jesus. We are made for him. There are no substitutes.

MrsTinCT5 Stars Out Of 5November 2, 2008MrsTinCTWow I'm so excited that Perry Stone is finally offering his books in the broader markets - I've been watching him for several years teaching & have highly recommended that people watch him on the tv or the web & this teaching will greatly bless you as it instructs you in taking communion daily & how it's been in the later years that the church took away that from the congregations - Perry's done extensive research on the Jewish Roots of Christianity & has been teaching how the western views are very much different over the years from what Jesus & the Apostles (all Jews by the way) originally knew to be as truths - I'm looking forward to his next public offerings in addition to continue to watch his programs on tv & online

In 1992 while I was working as a cook at a restaurant, and after having a terrible day at work I decided to start taking English classes at PCC. I realized that I didn't want to be a cook for the rest of my life. I studied 4 years at PCC because it took me a long time learn English at college level.
My greatest hope is that students will see in me the opportunities this country offers and that it is possible to break the cycle and go to college as long as one works hard and has determination.

The last week of June this year brought to the surface yet again a case of customer data theft in the Indian BPO industry, in this case by a rogue employee of a leading MNC bank. It also managed to revive concerns about information security management.
And rightly so as we live in a world which revolves around information. Information is money and any scamster who has access to 'right hot' information will easily look at encashing the same. It is in this context that data/information management and security gains significant importance.

Eckstein returns for the Padres Friday
Written by | Bill Center | 5:27 p.m., Jul 16, 2010
The Padres Friday officially placed right-handed pitchers Mat Latos and Mike Adams on the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-handed reliever Ernesto Frieri and center fielder Luis Durango from Triple-A Portland.

Right-hander Jon Garland will face Dan Haren of Arizona in a rematch of the April 5 season opener in Phoenix. Haren and the Diamondbacks prevailed 6-3 in that game.
With the return of Eckstein, Chase Headley returns to the No. 4 slot behind Adrian Gonzalez in the Padres lineup. Nick Hundley will hit fifth and Scott Hairston will hit sixth.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Klein Michael Thaxton was an ex-soldier and armed carjacker from McKeesport participating in an Allegheny County Veterans Court rehabilitation program when he brought Downtown Pittsburgh to a halt.
Armed with a kitchen knife and hammer, Thaxton held a Ligonier businessman hostage on Sept. 21, 2012, at Three Gateway Center, at times sending Facebook messages to friends before surrendering six hours later.
Thaxton, 23, was in Veterans Court to expunge or slash his carjacking sentence while getting housing help, counseling and probation monitoring.

The prolific Portugal forward will make his first return to Manchester since leaving United three years ago as Real Madrid visit the Etihad Stadium in the Champions League.
It is a match City must win to retain any hope of qualifying for the knockout stages from Group D. Ronaldo, 27, is at the height of his powers and has scored a remarkable 165 goals in 162 appearances for Real, including the late winner when they met City at the Bernabeu in September.
Mancini is well aware of his threat, even without taking into account any extra incentive from playing back in Manchester.
Mancini said: "I think (it is) not only tomorrow night - I think Ronaldo has a big impact on every game. One player that scores every game, one or two goals, is an incredible player.
"For this reason we should have more attention on him because he is a player that can change the game."
Meanwhile, Real Madrid midfielder Michael Essien is injured and will be unavailable, Jose Mourinho said on Tuesday.
Mourinho did not reveal the nature of the injury to the Ghana international, who joined Real from City's Premier League rivals Chelsea in the close season.
"He has a physical problem and did not recover in time to travel," Mourinho told a news conference at City's Etihad stadium, without elaborating.
After four of six matches, Real are second on seven points in what many consider the toughest group of Europe's elite club competition, one behind German champions Borussia Dortmund.
Ajax are third on four points and City have only a slim chance of making it through to the last 16 with two points in fourth and last place.
Mourinho said he did not think City, who twice squandered the lead in a 3-2 defeat at Real's Bernabeu stadium in September, had any chance of qualifying for the knockout stage.
"Other teams are playing easy groups. Other teams know from day one that they qualify easily," Mourinho said.
"City, Real Madrid and Borussia, we all want to win the competition, we all can but we all know we can be out in the group phase," added the Portuguese, who won the Champions League with Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010.
"I think City will be out of the Champions League. They can win tomorrow because they have a team to compete against Real Madrid and why not?
"They can do the same against Borussia but eight points is not enough so I think City will be the big team that will be out.
"That win (against City at the Bernabeu) was crucial for us to be at the moment, I am not saying in a completely safe position, but in a position where we depend only on ourselves and we are in good conditions to qualify."

This is the first year any aconites have come up - not many but by my standards a miracle.
Lily of the valley has managed to transfer to the lower beds in the garden, where I have never planted it - guess it is the birds as with snow drops. All fine by me.
LT2, hi - re feeding acers. I don't give them anything extra special, they get the same dose of organic pelleted chicken manure that the rest of the garden gets in April. Other than that, certain things get some seaweed mixture if I think they look a bit in need, and I do use specialist clematis feed on those if I remember! So acers get the pellets and nothing else, they have a thick layer of gravel on the top of the compost which a) keeps some of the weeds out, b) prevents too swift drying out if we get heat (??!!), and IMHO looks nice. That's it - oh, I do stroke them as I pass and tell them how wonderful they look - up to you if you do that - mine now expect it of course.
Coor, that's a smashing sized peony - bet that will be gorgeous in due course. Mine much smaller, but have not been there so very long.
Water butts may overfill and thus overflow, but I've never heard of them causing rotting to decking - the water will just drain away. We have several butts around the place, some of them there for many years, and all works fine. They are not more trouble than they are worth once you get used to them, because your plants will love the contents so much more than tap water.
I have a jam jar in one of the unused holes in one of mine - from which all the birds like to drink - no matter how many water feeders there are about the garden! I guess they are there for different types of fittings - I've never thought about it, but off hand cannot think of another purpose for them.
You can stretch some old socks or tights over the holes to let air in and out but keep the insects and/or mozzies out.
We have a waterer diverter, and two butts linked together so that when one fills the other takes over - they're full now but will be essential later on - I hope.
I have had the most amazing amaryllis this year, deepest darkest red, 4 stems, each with 5 or 6 flowers - it is now resting quietly in the greenhouse. When it has finished flowering, cut back the flower stems, water and let the leaves grow on. Give a general feed, something seaweed based is what I use, let it die back altogether and then keep it safe till you re-start it at the end of this year for next winter.
So much depends upon which bamboo he has. There are lots, and some of them are really very vigorous and can spread through nearly anything. Maybe if a picture of the bamboo can be uploaded that will help, and a sight of the new shoots - how far from the original planting is it trying to grow? In the end bamboo is a grass, but can be a ferocious one if in the wrong place.
It won't grow through the slabs per se, but will find a way between them if is is a spreader, but there are ways to contain it - more people on here will know more about that than I do - hope he gets some good help here.
Surprising amount of bulbs and bulb like things can go in now, look in a good garden centre or good web site - the Spring bulbs like daffodils and tulips will indeed have to wait until autumn, but lots of other fun things now - dahlias? Not bulbs, but tubers, good time to put those in if you like them, and they can last for many years.
A couple of twigs in a vase perfumes the house gloriously - though not overpoweringly.
They do indeed work well, but for me, I found the whole process more physical work than I could manage well. Also, as nature abhors a vacuum, the neighbours slugs came in en masse later on. However, for a smallish patch that you want to be especially good, they certainly work. Am thinking of drenching my hosta area with them this year - we will see.
Lucky you! I've been trying to grow these en masse for years - funny how ones persons joy is another persons 'get rid of' plant. How are lily of the valley with you? Almost a weed here.

Financial Advice - Drink Heavily
By user12607856 on Feb 16, 2009
I was using an old post of mine this morning, to remind myself of how I'd rated my book collection, and to rerun the script now 9 months have past and I've a slew of new unread books.
One of the comments there is from Tyler and while I was waiting for the book rating script to finish, I wandered over to his blog. There was a very interesting perspective from November last year, on the current economic crisis and a great quote from his father:
"If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left. With Fannie Mae, you'd have $2.50 left of the original $1000. With AIG, you'd have less than $15 left. But if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all the beer, then turned in the cans for the recycling refund, you'd have $214 cash. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily. It reduces anxiety too. Even better to buy in a state without a deposit and then return them into a state with a deposit refund."

Bio: The Romans had a saying. "Your name is your destiny."
Juno and National Jazz Awards nominee Melody Diachun is a case in point. She is a celebrated singer, songwriter, performer, teacher, and recording artist.
With a father who sang, played piano, and wrote songs, 'Melody' was "…the perfect name, until I started singing, too." Birthday cake candles from the age of five were blown out with an annual secret wish to live a life in music. Three critically-acclaimed albums and countless performances since, maybe the Romans were onto something.
"One of the biggest compliments I get is when people tell me they don't like jazz, but they really like what I do. I call it 'gateway jazz'…"
With influences from Miles Davis to Joni Mitchell to Prince, Melody has been hailed as "a jazz singer of the first order" (Times Colonist). A warm and sincere performer, she offers her listeners grooving originals, standards, and tasteful takes on much loved pop songs with "that friendliness that makes listening a relaxing, joyous occasion" (Yorkton This Week).
A favourite of the CBC, Melody's albums "Lullaby of the Leaves" (2002), "Dreams & Places" (2006) and "EQ" (2008) are all on regular rotation on national and local radio. Television appearances include Melody's own episode of the series "Jazzman", which airs on BRAVO!TV and The BET Network, and a guest appearance and performance on Joy TV's "P3: People, Places and Perspectives".
Melody was the first vocalist admitted to the McGill University's jazz performance program in which she earned her Bachelor of Music degree "with distinction" in Jazz Voice. She also studied privately with vocalist Sheila Jordan in New York. Melody has been awarded several scholarships, grants and awards including a Short-term Grant from Canada Council for the Arts and a 10K20 Recording Grant from Rawlco Radio.
The life in music that was once a wish has taken Melody from Nova Scotia to Montreal to Vancouver, with stints in New York and Banff in between. Today she and her husband, guitarist-bassist and "musical accomplice" Doug Stephenson live and play in Nelson, British Columbia, where Melody was hired on to teach singing and songwriting at Selkirk College's Contemporary Music & Technology program.

The Memorial Day Weekend brought a 2-day race to Skyview Drags. The weekend started off with Friday night Test & Tune but about 1 hour into the evening, the skies opened up and torrential rains saturated the track. Clean up went into Saturday morning and so we started the May 28th show about 2 hours behind scheduled. Saturday was Old School Nostalgia Night with special shows from NETO (Northeast Timing Organization). Although the Great Lakes Funny Car event was cancelled because of the impending weather, Skyview was pleased to have the Tweety's Rat car driven by Bob Rosetty and the Rollin' Stoned car of Joe Jacono put on 2 great exhibition runs for the fans. Sunday, May 29th was a regular point's race for all classes. Both days races were completed.
The show started off with 15 racers in our Precision Crankworks Junior Dragster program. Our youngest competitors made their way through 4 rounds of competition to see sisters Randi and Haley Teed in the finals. The win light went to the younger sister as 13-year old Randi Teed took home the trophy and $200 savings bond for her efforts. 14-year old Haley Teed took home a $100 savings bond for her great showing. Semi-finalists were Ron Klein and Faith Peckham. In the Junior Dragster Second Chance race, which Skyview offers for the racers we do not win first round and would like more seat time. The finals saw Jared Baker taking the win over Abby Hacker, who reached the final round for her second week in a row. Semi-finalists were Morgan Burgess and Dave Morris.
North East Timing Organization (NETO) was at Skyview to put on a special show for the fans. NETO was founded in 1999 by Bob "Tiny" Eglit and offers pre-1974 cars including front engine dragsters, funny cars, altered, gassers, super stocks and stockers for your racing enjoyment.
In NETO Comp, racers run off a .400 tree and must run at least 9.75 seconds ET in the ¼-mile. The finals at Skyview saw Brian English line up against the fiat-bodied altered of Joe Morrison with Morrison earning the win.
In NETO Nostalgia, racers run off a .500 tree and must run 10.00 seconds ET or slower in the ¼-mile. The finals at Skyview pitted Lee Mills and his beautiful '67 Ford Fairlane against Craig Norton's '55 Ford Thunderbird. Mills had the better reaction time and ran dead on his 7.29 dial to take the win.
In the Super Pro class, Kathy Kiekel proved she was no "one-hit wonder" as she worked her way through the field and earned a spot in the finals for the second consecutive week. This time, she would face the Nova of Jim Potenziano Sr. With Kiekel winning the coin toss, she pulled into the right lane and Potenziano took the left lane. After the burnouts, Potenziano pre-staged, followed by Kiekel. Potenziano then staged his car, but before Kiekel could stage her truck, Potenziano launched his car down the track. Kiekel staged and then turned the car off to await instructions from track officials. "I wasn't going to move an inch until an official gave me the okay," said Kiekel. "I knew I had just won my second race, so there was no way I was going to mess up anything on a technicality." When the track officials gave Kiekel the okay, she drove her truck down the track to pick up her second win. Potenziano had mechanical issues with his trans brake not holding, which caused his Nova to lurch forward when he staged. "I was already on the button and knew I was done for," said Potenziano. "So I just let go and launched the car." Matt Spisak was the semi-finalist. Later that day, Bob Hacker, the victim of a Potenziano prank last week, came over to Kiekel to let her know that the Hacker's personally saw Potenziano pulling wires under his Nova so that it would "malfunction" in the finals because Potenziano didn't want to lose to a girl! Tune in next week folks to see who pranks who next.
Mike LaRose and his "Hustle Stuff" '68 GTX made a repeat showing in the finals this week. This time, he would face Bruce Rowan's Camaro. LaRose pushed a bit too hard to try and repeat his winning ways from last week and he went .4969 red, giving the win to Rowen. Mel Teed and her Olds 442 was the semi-finalist.
Keeping the winning day alive for the Teed family, Randy Teed and his fast sled reached the finals and would face 2010 Bike/Sled class Champion Brent Garcia on his Buell motorcycle. Teed had the better reaction time off the line and when Garcia broke out, he handed the win over to Teed who celebrated in victory lane with his family.
In Street Money, Howie Conklin made it to the finals to face Tony Zanaw with Conklin coming out the winner. Glenna Erecitano was the semi-finalist. And then, in the Street Trophy class, Howie Conklin would again make it to the finals winning over the #43 car (no driver information at this time) to take home two huge trophies for all of his hard work. Glenna Erecitano and Shanon Fenton were semi-finalists.
In the TCR (Teen Championship Racing) class, Christian Taylor took the win over Teresa Kurtz.
For our second day of point's racing, 11 Junior Dragster racers took to the track to start the day. Jared Baker, yesterday's Second Chance winner met Randi Teed, yesterday's eliminations winner, in the finals. The weekend would be ruled by the young Miss Teed, who is only in her second year of racing. She notched back to back wins for a truly memorable weekend. Morgan Burgess was the semi-finalist. In the Junior Dragster Second Chance race, the finals saw Kimberly Klein, who turned 15 that day, defeat Dunham Hall. Haley Teed was the semi-finalist. As a special give-away, Junior Dragster sponsor Precision Crankworks offered a prize to the first junior racer to post a .50xx light in competition. We had to wait until the semi-finals before Dunham Hall hit the mark. Next week, Hall will race at Skyview Drags for free courtesy of Precision Crankworks.
In the Super Pro class, Chuck Fish got the chance to show off his brand new American dragster as he made his way through the field. Fish earned a bye run in the semi-finals and with only 3 cars remaining, he was guaranteed a spot in the finals. Matt Spisak defeated Brett VanBrocklin and his new American dragster in the semi-finals. Spisak would now face Fish in the finals. Fish had a .5169 reaction time and ran 4.9521 on a 4.94 dial while Spisak had a .5270 reaction time running 6.9770 on his 6.96 dial. It was all over at the starting line and Fish earned his first win at Skyview this season. "I plan to race at Skyview more this year," said Fish. "I might take a week off every now and then and race some big money races elsewhere, but I definitely plan to be here a lot more this season."
In the Pro Class, Bob Belvick and Joe Rodriguez squared off in the finals. Belvick posted a .5181 reaction time and when Rodriguez broke out the win light came on for Belvick. However, as the cars approached the finish line, blue smoke came billowing out of Belvick's beautiful Camaro. The good news? Belvick just won Pro class. The bad news? He blew up the motor doing it. Tim Zyla, driving Manley Houghtalen's Camaro, was the semi-finalist.
In the Bike/Sled class, Randy Teed tried for a repeat of yesterday's win as he faced off against Jason Crawford in the finals. Teed pushed the lights just a bit too hard and went red, handing the win over to Crawford. Robert Withers was the semi-finalist.
The Street Money class saw Gary French and his Illegal Regal face off against the Mustang of Roger Seidel, with Seidel taking his first win of the 2011 season. Rookie Mike Ink and Glenna Erecitano were semi-finalists.
In Street Trophy, Gary French defeated Howie Conklin in the semi-finals. He would then take on the #43 car (no driver information at this time) in the finals with French taking home the trophy.
In the TCR class, it was Christian Taylor for the second day in a row standing in Victory Lane.
Next up for Skyview Drags is a double header on Saturday, June 4th. First up will be the June 4th Junior Dragster race starting at 10 AM. The Junior Dragsters got their May 7th race in so they do not have a double header. As soon as the juniors are finished, Skyview will start the May 7th make-up race for all other classes. Immediately following the completion of the make-up race, Skyview will run the June 4th race for all other classes.

No Exit Philosophical Viewpoints: Existentialism Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue. We used the translation by S. Gilbert found in No Exit and Three Other Plays, published by Vintage International in 1989.
Quote #1
VALET: Sorry, sir. No offense meant. But all our guests ask me the same questions. (22)
Yet Inez does not, as we later see. What is so different about her? Why doesn't she have the same concerns as Garcin?
Quote #2
No eyelids, no sleep; it follows, doesn't it? I shall never sleep again. But then – how shall I endure my own company? (31)
Right…Garcin doesn't exactly have it figured out yet. If only his own company were the worst he had to endure!
Quote #3
VALET: Oh, the management can cut off the current if they want to. But I can't remember their having done so on this floor. We have all the electricity we want. (46)
Moments like this one keep No Exit steeped in a sort of dark humor; hell is other people, but it's also bureaucratic nonsense.
