Leaking Labor's ship is sinking fast
Piers Akerman –, Saturday, July, 31, 2010, (6:26pm)
TWENTY days out from the election, and the Nielsen poll gives the Coalition a 52-48 lead - reflecting the electorate's decision to ignore Prime Minister Julia Gillard's nagging exhortation to "move forward."

A taxing question
Piers Akerman –, Saturday, July, 03, 2010, (6:14pm)
THE federal Labor Party is hoping that its strategy of change the leader, change the game, will appeal to the voting public and new Prime Minister Julia Gillard is certainly going at it with gusto.

The hair apparent or just a pretender?
Piers Akerman –, Thursday, July, 01, 2010, (7:00pm)
WOMEN friends say they knew Julia Gillard would topple Kevin Rudd when she had her hair newly coloured.
Julia, they said, was playing the role made famous by Reese Witherspoon in the hit movie Legally Blonde.
Without giving away too much of the plot, it does hang on a woman's natural concern for her new perm.
That was last week, though.
Subsequently the women's magazines and Sunday lifestyle sections are still making much of the new Prime Minister's sense of fashion (or lack of it) and sending packs of reporters to the Victorian fruit-packing town of Shepparton to research the background of First Bloke Tim Mathieson.
Meanwhile, the rest of the nation is left wondering whether the difference between the current PM and her dumped predecessor is simply one of style - or if Labor's shift heralds a genuine change of policy direction.
Gillard has said she rolled Rudd because the Government had lost direction and needed to get back on track.
She has said the nation will go to an election this year.
Labor's apparatchiks are heavily hinting that the election will be sooner rather than later - that is to say, August rather than early October.
That doesn't leave the Gillard Government a lot of time to define itself, if it can, as something other than a chapter-two extension of the Rudd government.
To accomplish this, Gillard needs to say where and when the administration of which she was deputy leader jumped the rails.
Just as importantly, Gillard must explain why she apparently did nothing to stop the train wreck while it was in progress - and when she saw the warning signs.
Gillard has admitted to being part of the Gang of Four responsible for running the nation under Rudd. In her role, it's an admission she could scarcely avoid.
As well, Gillard has accepted some responsibility for some failed policies.
But this isn't enough.
As deputy prime minister and acting prime minister - frequently, during Rudd's constant overseas trips - Gillard must accept almost equal responsibility for everything the Rudd government did over the past three years.
Next week, just a fortnight into her prime ministership, Gillard will be forced to address one of the biggest issues dividing Australians, the treatment of irregular maritime arrivals (IMAs), when its three-month suspension of visa applications for Sri Lankan boat people expires.
The short odds are that Gillard will simply extend the suspension, perhaps adding another three months.
This would bring expiration for Sri Lankans to the same point as the current six-month suspension for Afghan IMAs.
Conveniently, an extension would also place the problem beyond the election deadline Gillard has set herself.
That's not dealing with the problem, however. It's just putting it off and hoping no one will notice - just as the Rudd administration reopened the old Curtin detention centre in northwest Western Australia in a bid to house refugees without dealing with the reason they are arriving in the first place.
The detention centre on Christmas Island is full with about 2500 inmates.
Immigration authorities are having to make do, shoving people into an old mining camp at Leonora in remote WA, and spreading others into suburban locations throughout South Australia, Queensland, NSW, Victoria and the Northern Territory.
With so many different sites now in operation, the department is blowing out its budget simply providing such essentials as food.
Beyond that, consider the massive cost of basic services such as translators, health providers, communications staff and others needed to care for the IMAs.
Having given a major dog whistle to western Sydney and western Melbourne on refugees with her announced concern about "the sanctuary" Australia provides for those who call it home, Gillard needs to spell out a detailed policy that will reassure the electorate and also permit the department to function efficiently.
Closer to home is Gillard's own failure to rein in the waste in the $16.2 billion BER school stimulus package and her attempt to protect it from scrutiny by appointing business figure Brad Orgill to report after the upcoming federal election.
Like the Government's failed home insulation scheme - which has seen nearly 200 homes either burnt down or placed at serious risk - the BER demonstrated the Rudd government's total lack of managerial skills. The crisis talks on the Government's proposed super tax on mining need to come to an acceptable resolution but again serve to illustrate the amateur approach taken to running the nation by Rudd, Gillard, Treasurer and now Deputy Prime Minister Wayne Swan, and Finance minister Lindsay Tanner.
Whatever Gillard, Swan and Tanner may now say, it is an indisputable fact that the Budget brought down in May relied on the introduction of its Resource Super Profits Tax (RSPT) from July 1, 2012, to bring the nation back into the black after Labor's prodigious spending spree since the party was elected in 2007.
As Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce recently pointed out, the gross national debt when the Rudd government came to office was $59 billion. It is now $147 billion.
In 935 days the Government spent $88 billion - a new record for Australian governments, a rate of spending of $95 million a day, which is forecast this financial year to rise to $150 million a day.
These are the big issues, but Gillard is still playing the media and keeping the attention on her living arrangements in Altona, where her security detail appears to be monitoring security matters from a rundown caravan parked on a neighbouring block while both the Lodge and Kirribilli House stand fully equipped and staffed at taxpayers' expense awaiting her presence.
Gillard and her fellow plotters toppled an Australian prime minister in his first term of office because (they claim) they perceived there was a national emergency.
It is now dramatically apparent that they acted because there was a political emergency.
We are now one week into the biggest political upheaval in the country since 1975, yet Gillard and her team are talking it down and offering distractions out of the Hawker Britton handbook, not substantive policy change.
The gesture of placing Humphrey B. Bear in the prime ministerial office is as calculated as it may have been cute, but it doesn't detract from the notion that Gillard has only managed to make her new digs look like rented space in an airport development.
Flying around the nation with a sense of urgency is meaningless unless something meaningful is also being done, and to date, there is no evidence that Gillard considers the national good to be as important as the political success of the ALP.

Lesbian sues Kansas City diocese over firing
A parish food pantry worker who was fired over her marriage to another woman sued the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph on Thursday, the latest in a number of clashes over gay rights between Roman Catholic leaders and their employees nationwide.
Colleen Simon, 57, said the diocese and the parish where she worked knew she was married and that her wife was a well-known community leader before Simon was hired. She was fired when the couple was mentioned in a news story.
"I was mostly shellshocked," Simon said.
Diocesan officials hadn't yet seen the lawsuit, but said in a statement, "As a church, we have the right to live and operate according to our faith and church teachings."
New Ways Ministry, a Catholic gay rights group, has found more than 15 cases since 2010 of American teachers, school administrators or parish musicians who lost jobs or resigned after expressing support for gay marriage or going public with their own same-sex relationships.

The Failure Wall
What if you were asked to write your failures on a wall for everyone to see? What if the person doing the asking was your boss? That's exactly what happens every day at Dun and Bradstreet Credibility Corp. Jeff Stibel, chief executive officer, came up with the Failure Wall. Stibel encourages his employees to write their failures on the 10-by- 15-foot surface in order to succeed in their work and in life.
Voicing Lament
Most of us know someone for whom life has been particularly hard. Maybe they live with chronic pain, have faced the loss of a child, or have faced multiple adversities. Perhaps you've been in this place too. If so, you'll know that dealing with these challenges can be spiritually depressing. We want God to intervene, but He hasn't. And that can leave us feeling sad, lonely, and angry.
Sweet Music
O ur music practice was not going well. The team was tense because we were gaining no traction in selecting and practicing songs for an important event. Then it happened. A young woman said softly, "I think we should pray about this." And with that, she called out to God to help us move forward in practicing and performing well for Him.
Greater Work
In just a few short hours, my husband and I learned that— although our lives were soon to be united in marriage— we wouldn't walk identical paths. We had been dating for over a year when each of our fathers entered the hospital on the same day, though in two different facilities. One man breathed raggedly in his final stages of cancer; the other lay bleeding internally on the operating table after an open-heart procedure—two lives hovering between heaven and earth. The next day, one remained; the other did not.
Don't Hesitate
Scientists conducted a social experiment with two groups of commuters at a train station. They asked one group to start conversations with their seatmates. They instructed the other group to remain silent. The commuters who talked while traveling said they had a "more positive experience" than those who did not. Initially, commuters believed starting a conversation would be hard, but they found that most people were happily willing to talk.
My first roommate in college didn't seem to want to be friends. He listened to music with his headphones on and stared at his computer all day, and nearly all night. He didn't want to joke around or share a meal. We rarely spoke for the first few weeks. He simply didn't want to interact.
Not Losing Our Way
A newly elected senator vows to be a new kind of politician, but by the time he runs again he's in the pocket of special interest groups. An actress goes to Hollywood to star in wholesome movies, but soon she compromises. Both started out trying to reach the world, but instead they lost their way.
How Long, God?
Not long ago I was certain that God was moving my husband and me in a specific direction. Two different sources, without consulting one another, encouraged us to pursue the same opportunity. So we did. Doors flew open as we kept moving forward. We were encouraged and excited, for what we never thought would happen was coming together right before our very eyes. As we bathed the whole process in prayer, God seemed to be honoring our requests. Until the eleventh hour, that is. That's when the final door was slammed shut in our faces. We were shocked, and felt cheated and tricked by God. There was absolutely no way to make our dream a reality.
Into the World
Chinese Christians inspire me. Their slogan is "Back to Jerusalem," for the Christian faith spread mostly west from Jerusalem through Europe and northern Africa to the Americas—lands that sent missionaries to Asia. Now Chinese believers aim to spread the gospel through the Middle East until the church reaches Jerusalem, where it all began. The task will be dangerous, but they're willing to risk everything for Jesus.
Being Centered
It's winter in New York City. The air temperature hovers just above freezing. A man puts on his wet suit and prepares to ride the waves at Long Beach, an area southeast of Queens where he lives. As he faces the water, he meditates on avoiding danger and prays to the ocean gods. His surfboard—a 9-foot Hawaiian-made job—features a picture of his now-deceased spiritual guru. The man says of the image, "It keeps me centered."
The Gift of Sleep
She told me that she was depressed. It was so bad that she had attempted suicide more than once. And even though she wasn't at a dangerously dark state at that moment, she was still in a deep hole. Struggling with sleep, she hadn't enjoyed a good night's rest in a long, long time.
Fly to Jesus
George Whitfield, the Anglican preacher who was part of the Great Awakening in the American colonies, once said, "Come away, my dear brethren—fly, fly, fly for your lives to Jesus Christ, fly to a bleeding God, fly to a throne of grace . . . beg of God to give you faith, and to enable you to be close with Jesus Christ." Long before Whitfield encouraged believers to fly to Jesus, the writer of Hebrews encouraged weary believers to approach Him boldly and confidently as their Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14,16).
Fasting Focus
Many years ago I was the youth minister of a church. I was in over my head, burning out quickly, and in need of time with God. So I arranged a retreat for a few days at a friend's cabin in the country.
Fighting Temptation
Mimi began working at a brothel in her early 20s. The big money began funding a lavish lifestyle, but working nights meant she lost touch with her friends. Soon things began spiraling out of control.
An Angry Prayer
The 1965 movie Shenandoah stars Jimmy Stewart as Charlie Anderson, an authoritarian father of seven who farms in the Shenandoah Valley. Set during the American Civil War, the film explores themes of war, family, and restoration.

About Shane Brumfield
I am just country boy that gets out with the camera from time to time and snaps a few photographs. Some turn out nice and others well get deleted. I do very little if any post editing on my pictures, what you see is what i saw when i snapped it, maybe a crop or a little zoom in, maybe a little color manipulation, but nothing added or any special effects. I just want to do all the preparations before i actually push the button. All of my captures are taken with a digital Canon (not a DSLR unfortunately) and the subjects are mostly pics of sunsets, sunrises, the moon, animals, flowers, and just about all things nature. There may be a few pics on my page that are black and white with certain parts in color, but these are not post processed either it is a function on my camera. And there may be a few pics on my page that i didnt actually shoot, but if i didnt then my wife did.
{If there is an image that you see that is not set up for the print on demand please just contact me and i will change it to where it will be available. Thanks for looking.}

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
New space-based aircraft monitoring system will change the future of air traffic control
Malaysia Flight 370 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth and after weeks of searching, experts are still at a loss as to what really happened to the ill-fated flight though they believe the Boeing 777 went down in the ocean. One of the main problems with the search is that the airliner went down in the southern Indian Ocean, one of the most remote areas of the world.
Thankfully, there are options being worked on to change aircraft monitoring from ground based systems to satellites. Using GPS would provide real time tracking that can help with rescue efforts, avoid delays, increase safety, as well as saving the airliner industries billions of dollars a year.
In the U.S. the FAA system is being called the Next Generation Air Transportation System, but there are also private companies working towards the same end.

And I'll add this to the list of "Reasons Why I Will Never Use Twitter In Excess".
I'm going to assume that the man's frustration more comes from the fact that the company's game engines don't instantly work on the Wii U, which is to be expected as it doesn't have the same structure or hardware as the Xbox 360/PS3.

It is nice seeing these people being honest about what they really feel. It shows you who really runs the videogame industry and how clued in they are on every aspect of it.
Of course since they think the industry started with the PS1 they'll be quite shocked when it crashes.

Lol! That's what I thought at first, too. I'm just so shocked that someone with such a great gig would be so disrespectful. There are a million different ways he could have put his point across without seeming so unprofessional and belligerent.
pssssst. I know who's getting fired soon.

Also: why haven't I seen this on Kotaku yet? Usually that site jumps all over stuff like this. Maybe I just missed it.
I used to be a fanboy, and then Nintendo did the whole YouTube thing and now I can think clearly, because I am no longer a fanboy. Let's face it, Nintendo is probably done with living room hardware. They messed up. They released a console with no advertising and nothing but ports and bad games at launch. I ask my friends about the Wii-U and they give me a dumbfounded look because they have no idea what it is. The specs would have been amazing in 2006, but this is 2013. I think it will turn a profit once they release Zelda and the 3D Mario but they will finish in 3rd in the "Big 3". Nintendo is not on the same level as its fans, they just don't get it. They keep angering their fans and they continue to do nothing about the horrible Library of games. The 3D mario and Zelda should have been finished by launch not almost a year after.

Matches in a suit being cleaned at the Pantatorium Dye Works plant on North Grape Street caused a fire this morning that resulted in the destruction of $900 worth of clothes. The matches were ignited when being run through a "tumbler" causing an explosion of gasoline. The interior of the building was gutted and the machinery, on which insurance was carried, damaged. No insurance was carried on the clothes, but all claims will be paid, the company announces. The fire department extinguished the blaze after a quick run.
"DENVER, Colo., Aug. 20. — It will be possible in ten years to eliminate tuberculosis of the lungs."
This statement, made by Dr. Jefferson D. Gibson, pulmonary tuberculosis specialist of Denver, and originator of a plan by which the dreaded disease, which kills more persons than any other malady, can be stayed, has resulted in appeals from thousands all over the country for more details of his proposed treatment. Dr. Gibson's statement was made before the convention of Homeopathic physicians here recently. Many physicians have commended and approved Dr. Gibson's treatment, but there have been others to criticize it adversely.
Dr. Gibson proposes to eliminate tuberculosis of the lungs by an X-ray treatment augmented by injection of a serum, sunlight and fresh air. His somewhat technical explanation of the treatment before the physicians convention has not been fully understood by laymen and to answer his critics he today gave a practical explanation through the United Press.
"The first part of infection in a vast majority of cases of lung tuberculosis," said Dr. Gibson, "originates in the bronchial glands and radiates from there to the top of the lungs. It then spreads fan-like over the remainder of the lung tissues.
"Splendid results have been obtained by treating the glands of the neck, abdomen and other parts with the X-ray. The X-ray will produce equally good results if applied to the bronchial glands. It thus cuts short, or prevents pulmonary tuberculosis entirely."

One of the more entertaining parts about my job is the phone calls we receive in the early morning.
For some of our readers, the idea of Google is completely foreign, and the easiest way to find out sports information is to call the news front desk, have them transfer the call to sports, and have the phone located five feet away from my desk ring incessantly for a minute or two before I finally cave in and pick it up.
Sometimes, the questions are simple. "Who won the Yankees game last night?" or "How many points did Amare have?" are far more common than the obscure, "How much time was left on the clock when the Rangers scored their third goal two weeks ago?" variety.
Most of the time, the answers can be found with a quick flip through of the paper or a five -second Google search, but occasionally, a question comes that leaves me speechless.
For example, after the New York Knicks lost Game 4 to the Boston Celtics, I received a call from a livid 70-year-old man.
"You wanna know why the Knicks lost that series?" the man said the second after I answered the phone.
"Why's that?" I replied, knowing that this would be good.
"It's the tattoos," he said matter-of-factly. "Those damn tattoos."
"It's all those damn tattoos that the Knicks are wearing," he said. I held back my giggles thinking of the players wearing tattoos the way one wears a jersey or a hat. "Ya got your Carmella and ya got your Amare and they're all covered in tattoos."
I didn't know whether to go psychiatrist on him with a, "How does that make you feel," response or simply hang up the phone altogether, but since I would always wonder what this man's rationale was if I didn't ask for more, I responded, "But how do the tattoos make the Knicks lose? The Celtics have tattoos too."
"They don't have nearly as many," the man replied. "Maybe if the Knicks would focus on their game rather than getting tattoos, they could win like the Celtics."
So there you have it. The secret to the Celtics' four-game sweep of the Knicks was the difference in tattoos. Here I was thinking it was about the Celtics ability to close out games or the injuries to Amare and Billups, but the answer was written all over the New York players' bodies.
While this man's allegiance to the tattoo theory seems ridiculous, is it that far off from any talk of "The Decision" or "The Celebration" being at all related to the Miami Heat's success or failures in the NBA Finals?
Sure, it may have irked me or you or the entire city of Cleveland when it happened, but realize it happened nearly a year ago. It has no bearing of what happens in this series.
Take the Jersey Shore. I watched 10 minutes of an episode in season one and absolutely hated the show. But I knew it wasn't even close to being done.
The quotes were heard everywhere, the "Jersey Shore" party theme became more popular than the "sure, I'll wear a jersey" party and eight out of ten people thought it was hilarious to fist-pump like champs, or whatever the hell it was called, at every single club or basement dance party in America.
I still knew it wasn't losing any steam. It wasn't until hundreds of jokes or rants like the one you are reading right now were released that I knew the Jersey Shore was on its way out.
As soon as you become sick of reading about people being sick about something is when the show/event/musician/etc. has run its course. The next season of Jersey Shore—if it's not currently on the air—will still get some support, but the one after that will be the end.
In the NBA Finals, the death of "The Celebration" was after Game 2 when reporters tried to link the miniature celebration Dwyane Wade and LeBron James did in front of Dallas' bench to the greater celebration, "The Celebration" if you will, that took place last July.
At that point, I think most of us were fed up with hearing people being fed up, thus marking the end of the conversation.
It may not ring true for other writers, but I hereby announce my retirement from mentioning "The Celebration" or "The Decision" when talking about the Miami Heat.
In my mind, I'm just going to assume the Chris Bosh Toronto Raptors years never existed—which is not that far from the truth, I don't know if I could find any game film of that era—and that LeBron's Cleveland years were all just a figment of our wildest imaginations.
Do you like the Miami Heat?
If the Mavericks win this series, and people want to link the Heat's loss to events that happened last summer, that's fine, but to me that's only a step above thinking the Heat lost because of LeBron's tattoos.
The series is now tied two games a piece, which honestly, is the way it should be since the series has been decided by a grand total of 15 points in four games.
Yes, the Miami Heat has, for the most part, looked more dominant in these four games. They've established bigger leads, they've played incredible defense and Dwyane Wade is back to his 2006 self.
With the exception of two late game collapses/Mavericks comebacks, the Heat could have swept the Mavericks in four games, giving them one of the most impressive postseason runs in NBA history.
But they didn't. We now have a best of three series and honestly, either team could come out victorious.
Both Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki have made cases for why they should win the Finals MVP. Their play has been phenomenal, but just like the rest of this season, the focus is once again on LeBron James.
I was glad to see that after Game 3, the vast majority of writers defended LeBron James pointing out his nine assists and once again stellar defense on Jason Terry. This idea that LeBron was "shrinking" from the challenge was widely disproven and we all moved on with our lives.
The best explanation I have is The Media is this one crafty lawyer who sneaks in a ridiculous question—that of course gets objected to—but plants a seed of doubt within the jury's head.
Ninety-nine percent of the other writers make the case for why this question was out of line and completely ridiculous, but in the end the jury is left wondering, "You know, maybe it is LeBron's tattoos."
Going into Game 4, I was ready for LeBron to have a monster game and once again shut this mysterious The Media figure up. This was his time to say how dare you compare me to Scottie Pippen, I'm LeBron James and this is what I do.
But instead, LeBron gave us 8 points. The lowest total of his entire playoff career.
Granted, an 8 points, 7 assists, 9 rebound game is not far away from a 12 point, 10 assist, 10 rebound game that would have been hard for even the biggest LeBron hater to discredit, but it wasn't what he needed to do.
Yes, it's ironic that this man who critics wanted to label as a prideful, selfish, ego-driven monster is also guilty of giving up millions of dollars to play in Miami, share the spotlight with two other stars and is now being criticized for playing too unselfishly on offense.
The problem I see with LeBron, in these four NBA Finals games, is the fact that me or J.A. Adande or anyone else writing about him is having to defend just how well he has played. Honestly, it's starting to feel like the reaction to M. Night Shyamalan after he created "The Village."
Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" was so incredible, that the bar was set extraordinarily high for whatever his next movies would be. Likewise, LeBron James' 8 years in the NBA and his 2011 postseason run, up until the Finals, were his Sixth Sense equivalent.
Game 1, he gave us Unbreakable, a solid performance but not quite at the level of Sixth Sense. Game 2, we got Signs, Game 3 The Village. Game 4, we were ready to toss out The Village and believe that another Sixth Sense was coming, but instead got Lady in the Water.
LeBron has two or three more games in this series to give us a heroic performance, but he also has the opportunity to give us The Happening and, dear God hopefully not, The Last Airbender.
LeBron says that winning is all that matters to him, and I actually do believe him, but I know personal legacy carries some weight. It does for all of us.
Gaining a reputation for being the Heat's defensive stopper is good, but he's not aiming to become Ron Artest. Gaining a reputation for being a facilitator as Dwyane Wade does the scoring is too much Scottie Pippen.
If I was on the playground picking my team, there is no question I would pick LeBron James over Scottie Pippen. However, the NBA Finals statistics have not been flattering to LeBron in that comparison so far.
Here's what Scottie Pippen put up in the first four games of his second NBA Finals, when he was 26 years old, nearly the same scenario LeBron is in right now age and experience wise.
Pippen: 18.7 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 8.2 apg, 1.7 spg, 0.5 bpg, 3.7 turnovers
This is LeBron's line:
LeBron: 17.2 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 6.2 apg, 2.2 spg, 0.2 bpg, 3.5 turnovers
Besides steals and a 0.2 difference in turnovers, Pippen has better numbers across the board through four games. The Bulls would go on to win that series in 6 games, something the Heat could still do.
LeBron is more than capable of an eruption in Game 5. He's a special enough player that an eruption could mean 40 points or it could mean 20, 15 and 10 or it could be locking down Terry and hitting several big shots of his own.
Whatever it looks like, the Miami Heat need it to happen in Game 5 in order to be successful.
To LeBron, which side of the 3-2 mark his team is on will be his primary concern, but at some point, which side of the 26-year-old Scottie Pippen comparison has to mean something too.
If and/or when he has that Sixth Sense type of performance, there will be no debate to how good it was.
We will know, because suddenly no one will be out defending that his game was actually good, but instead discussing where it ranks in playoff history.
Until then, we will wait for what comes next from M. Night ShyamaLeBron.

Chris Kattan Revisits Mango, the Roxbury, and Mr. Peepers
It's one thing to make Chris Kattan play all his old "SNL" characters again. It's quite another to make him play Mr. Peepers for minutes on end. Because that could kill a person.
On "Late Night with Seth Meyers," our host concluded his "Distinguished Guests" audience bit with a cameo appearance from Chris Kattan. Then Kattan takes over with a few old characters and, finally, a gag that sent me into louder and louder laughter. You have to feel for the man as he brutalizes his face for the sake of comedy -- especially since it works.
And for the record, my favorite Kattan moment ever is this old MTV special "25 Lame," where he, Jon Stewart, Janeane Garofalo, and Denis Leary make fun of music videos and receive a rude, hilarious awakening from Rob "Vanilla Ice" Van Winkle -- or as Kattan calls him, "Vanilla!"

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Tyrel Lawson didn't grow up thinking he'd be in the business of winemaking. He was raised in Glade Park, where his parents own a ranch. In high school, he got a job at Two Rivers Winery, where he learned all about the industry. Lawson kept the job as he attended Mesa State College.
While at Two Rivers, he heard about Colorado's new law, Alternating Propriotorship. Lawson says it's a fairly common practice in Oregon and California, but it was only passed in Colorado two years ago. Under the Alternating Proprioatorship law, different companies can use the same premises and winemaking materials. Lawson approached Bob and Billie Witham, owners of Two Rivers, and they agreed to allow Lawson to use Two Rivers to produce wine under the Kahil Wine label.
Lawson says, "what it means is that I have my own bonded storage area, my own winery license, everything you would need to be a winery. The only difference is that I alternate premises with Two Rivers Winery so I'm making my wine in the same tanks, utilizing the barrel room, I have a section that's alternated with me, so when my wine is being made, techinally that area is leased to Kahil Winery."
Lawson chose to use the Malbec grape, first grown in France, and then widely-produced in South America. He buys the Malbec grape from a grower in Orchard Mesa. Lawson says he chose the Malbec because he wanted to be part of what he calls a 'niche market' in Colorado. He says, "it works out that the growing region they have here is similar to Argentina and Chile."
Kahil Wine's label features a flyfishing lure. Lawson said that he had always heard that when marketing a product, the product-maker should always choose something close to the heart, and represents the region. He says he's an avid angler, and fly fishing represents Colorado. Lawson is engaged to a woman named Katherine, a name he incorporated into Kahil.
Lawson says he's only been producing and selling Malbec wine for 3 months, and he's already sold out on his entire half-year production. A representative from Cottonwood Liquors says he's developed quite a fan base. She says several people come in and buy it buy the case.
Kahil's Malbec Wine took a bronze medal at the Colorado Governor's cup in July, and a double gold medal at last year's Colorado Mountain Winefest.
You can find Kahil's Malbec Wine at Cottonwood Liquors, Fisher's Liquor Barn, Crossroads Wine and Spirits, La Dolce Vida, and The Winery, on Main Street.

Bollywood Movies With Really Tragic Ends
The movie ending plays a very important role in making it memorable. Most of the Bollywood movies have a happy ending. Seeing happy ending makes you come out of the theater happy. However, there are some Bollywood movies which have a really sad ending. To tell the fact, tragic movie endings are worse than open-ended ones.
Not all movies have the happily ever after ending which makes it a super hit. There are certain Bollywood movies which can leave you sad as it touches your heart. Movies like Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Raanjhanaa etc have really tragic endings which will directly connect with your heart.
Some of the tragic movie endings are so sad that you wish they were changed and you can see the evergreen, happily every after conclusion on-screen. For example, one of the biggest blockbusters of last year, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela had a very tragic end. Lovebirds who represented the desi version of Romeo and Juliet shot each other under the misconception that their families which are rivals are killing each other and their death too is coming close. So, instead of getting killed by someone else, the married couple Ram and Leela (Ranveer and Deepika) respectively kill each other.
Here is a look at the Bollywood movies which have really tragic endings.
Bollywood Movies Which Have Tragic Ends:

By Ms. Tracy Robillard (AMC)January 20, 2011
PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. -- Soldiers now have capabilities to engage the enemy far more effectively during nighttime operations, following the recent full materiel release of three infrared illuminating rounds.
The term full materiel release signifies that the Army has rigorously tested and evaluated the item and determined it is completely safe, operationally suitable and logistically supportable for use by Soldiers.
The M1064 105mm Infrared Illuminating Cartridge; the M1066 155mm Infrared Illuminating Projectile; and the M992 40mm Infrared Illuminant Cartridge were approved for full materiel release via the Program Executive Office for Ammunition (PEO Ammo), headquartered at Picatinny.
"PEO Ammo manages and oversees the acquisition and lifecycle of all conventional ammunition for U.S. warfighters," said Brig. Gen. Jonathan Maddux, Picatinny Senior Commander and the Program Executive Officer for Ammunition. "Products like infrared illuminating cartridges and projectiles are just a few examples of how we strive to be leaders in providing the best conventional, leap-ahead munitions that bring new and more effective capabilities to our joint warfighters."
Illuminating cartridges, or pyrotechnic flares, have been widely used by militaries for years, but they have previously only provided light in the visible spectrum, which the enemy can utilize as well. The Army's new infrared illuminating cartridges/projectiles produce infrared light that is invisible to the naked eye, but is clearly visible through night vision devices which U.S. Soldiers use in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Following the full materiel release of these three additional munitions, the Army now has visible light and infrared capability for all calibers of mortars, artillery and 40mm.
The IR illuminating munitions were developed at Picatinny Arsenal by the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), which developed and fielded the world's first-ever IR illuminating munitions in 2002 (the 60mm M766, 81mm M816 and 120mm M983 Infrared Mortar Illuminating Cartridges).
"IR illumination burns longer, significantly increases the area of battlefield illumination and its performance is less sensitive to temperature and firing conditions compared to the standard visible light illumination," said James L. Wejsa, Chief of ARDEC's Pyrotechnic Technology and Prototyping Division, which led the pyrotechnic formulation, design and qualification testing of the candle assembly for these mortar and artillery IR illuminating munitions.
Approved for full materiel release on Dec. 9, 2010, the M1064 provides enhanced covert capability over the current 105mm, M314A3 Illuminating Cartridge (visible light) due to the candles' faint visible signature while descending in the air.
Fired from an M119 series howitzer, the IR illumination capability of the M1064 greatly improves visibility in tactical operations against enemy targets during periods of darkness when using Night Vision Devices.
Ground coverage of IR illumination provides over 2.5 times the diameter of visible light illumination, which enables friendly forces using the M1064 greater fields of view to better assess targets and engage the enemy.
"IR illumination increases mobility during night operations, allowing the commander to shape tactical engagements, mass effects and support maneuverability from disparate locations and lessen over reliance on direct fires," said William Vogt, Project Officer for Mortars and Artillery Illumination, Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS), the PEO Ammo group that manages the M1064.
Additionally, the M1064 utilizes the M314A3 firing solutions, as the M3143 allows a mission to use both capabilities - infrared light and visible light - without firing adjustments.
The Army has 8,300 in inventory and plans to procure an additional 5,500 by the end of fiscal year 2011. This will follow with approximately 3,000 cartridges every other year. The M1064IR Cartridge is slightly higher in cost than the M314A3, but it provides a new capability unlike the M314A3.
Approved for full materiel release on Oct. 14, 2010, the M1066 IR illumination artillery projectile provides approximately 120 seconds of IR illumination. This round provides enhanced covert capability over the current 155mm M485 Visible Light projectile and greatly improves visibility in tactical operations against enemy targets during periods of darkness when using Night Vision Devices.
In addition to the visibility enhancement, IR Illumination provides a covert capability due to its faint visible signature while in the air. Ground coverage of IR illumination provides over two times the diameter of illumination when compared to the M485A2 visible light illuminating projectile currently in U.S. inventory.
The M1066 can be fired from a 155mm howitzer system like the M109, M777, and M198 howitzers. It is fired with the M762A1 electronic time fuze and could be fired with the M119A2, M231, M232A1 propelling charge.
Like the M1064, the M1066 also provides warfighters the opportunity to use both infrared and visible light.
Also managed by PM-CAS, the Army plans to procure 7,000 M1066 rounds in fiscal year 2010, and 4,000 every other year. The U.S. Marine Corps plans on procuring 8,000 in fiscal year 2011 and approximately 4,000 every other year. The cost of the projectile is approximately the same as the visible light projectile.
Approved for full materiel release on Oct. 8, 2010, the M992 provides an illumination/signaling capability via an infrared candle - a first of its kind for the M203 and M320 40mm grenade launchers. The round can also be fired from the legacy M79 40mm grenade launcher.
"The M992 provides a capability not previously available to the Soldier that takes advantage of U.S. Armed Forces technology to improve night-time operation success," said Gregory Bubniak, Project Officer for 40mm Ammunition, Project Manager Maneuver Ammunition Systems (PM-MAS). "It enhances night operation capabilities of troops equipped with night vision equipment, while producing minimal visual signature outside of the infrared spectrum. This will allow users to access the approximately 90,000 cartridges available in inventory. "
Managed by PM-MAS, the Army plans to field approximately 22,000 M992 cartridges in 2011.
The M992 is approximately 50 percent more costly than visible light spectrum cartridges fired from the M203 and M320 (such as the M583A1, M661 and M662) due to small quantities purchased. However, increased quantities would decrease cartridge cost significantly, Bubniak said.
"The product cost is justified by the M992 capability when compared to limited alternative IR device options currently available to the user," he said.
