Iota area recreation millage would make sports complex a reality
IOTA - Voters in Wards 4 and 7 of Acadia Parish will go to the polls Saturday, October 2 to vote on a new four mill recreation district tax for construction, maintenance and operation of a sports complex in Iota and for use by children in the northwest area of the parish
Over 500 children play sports in the Northwest Acadia parish area including Iota, Evangeline, and Egan, and their present sports facility near Iota need to be replaced. The recreation department has been graciously allowed to use the fields near St. Francis Elementary School in Iota for the past twenty-five years.
But, the kids need a new ballpark. Enter local businessman B.I. Moody, III, who has offered to donate twenty-four acres of farmland just south of the church's present athletic fields for the new ballpark. "Moody-Amy Park" will include six baseball fields and room for numerous football and soccer fields, and will be constructed with a combination of federal and state grant money, government funding, and donations from area businesses.
"We tried for years to get this park built without passing a recreation tax, but we have finally come to the conclusion that the recreation district tax is the only way this will work- and we know that the people in the area don't mind paying this little bit each year to see that the kids have a place to play. We've talked to many people in the area, and have had universal support for this project," said Wilbur Parker, chairman of the Northwest Acadia Recreation District
The proposed recreation tax will be a minimal amount, and will provide for all expenses related to the ongoing operations at the park, including maintenance, grass cutting, utilities, and operating the park on a day to day basis. A homeowner in the northwest Acadia Parish area who falls under the homestead exemption whose home is assessed at $100,000 would pay $10 per year for the recreation district once the 4 mil tax is passed. A similar home assessed at $200,000 would pay $50 per year for the recreation district at the 4 mil rate.
Acadia Parish Sheriff's Department Major Keith Latiola has been a recreation volunteer for many years, and is the president of a non-profit corporation set up to manage the new park. Northwest Acadia Sports Authority, Inc. will be responsible for the day-to-day activities at the facility, and will report to the Acadia Parish Police Jury, which will own the land and improvements.
"The kids need a place, and the church has been very nice to let us use their land for so long now for youth sports. But we need to be aware of church's future need to use their property for other things, like expanding their cemetery, and we need to build a new park. Mr. Moody has been very generous in offering this land just across the bayou from the present park, and after looking at many alternatives, this recreation district is really the only way to get this park built," said Latiola.

Creating a SuperKaramba theme
If you can't find the SuperKaramba theme you're looking for, you can always build your own.
Pretty wallpaper is fine as far as it goes, but if you want desktop frills that actually do work for you, such as displaying weather reports or monitoring system data, you'll need a tool like SuperKaramba. SuperKaramba [1] is a KDE-based tool that lets you create helpful widgets for your desktop. The SuperKaramba website refers to these interactive widgets as "custom eye candy," but SuperKaramba applets are more commonly called themes. You'll find many pre-built SuperKaramba themes on the Internet, but you can also create your own themes. A SuperKaramba theme can take the form of a game, a system monitor, a desktop music directory, or even a custom toolbar. Previous articles in Linux Magazine described how to get started with SuperKaramba. For additional information, see [2]. (These articles are currently available through Linux Magazine's convenient online archive.) This article is a brief workshop on how to create your own SuperKaramba theme.

Wines Tht Rock was featured on the CBS Morning Show in their Special Holiday Gift Guide
Best Gifts in Movies and Music
Entertainment Weekly and Billboard Magazine Offer Last-Minute Film and Song Gift Suggestions
In the "Early Show" series, "Early Holiday Unwrapped", Dalton Ross, assistant editor of Entertainment Weekly magazine, and Bill Werde, editorial director of Billboard magazine gave suggestions to wow your loved ones with best music based gifts this holiday season.
"A unique gift", Werde said, is a collection of music-inspired wines. According to Werde, "this is a great gift for music lovers who also just happen to love wine."
He said, "Who can resist a bottle of wine, especially with an iconic album cover as its label?"
Thanks for the mention CBS Early Show!!
Sensing music other than by hearing it? Actually, if you look at studies on synthnesia or cognitive priming there clearly is proof that music has an effect on our other senses. Or anecdotally someone might reflect back on an experience in college where someone was convinced they could actually taste that Allman Brothers guitar solo…
Anyway, before I get off-track I would like to point out that enjoying the pairing of wine and music is something I happened across early in my wine career. It was a method of description that helped me turn something stressful to enjoyable. I had worked a new winery job for about a year and shown a good palate and ability to recognize flaws in wines. So eventually the winemaker invited me to participate in a blind competitive tasting. For those of you not familiar with this, a blind tasting is where a group of tasters will sample approximately 10 different wines that have a few things in common such as vintage and variety and even price point to compare against one another. The name of the wine however is concealed by enclosing the bottle in a paper bag which is lettered "A, B, C", etc. The wines are passed around and then sniffed and tasted and ranked quietly by each person. Later the results are tallied and wines are given a score from best to worst. The worst wine is first described and then the bag is pulled off and the winery is revealed.
Usually the winery hosting the tasting has one of their wines in the mix in hopes theirs will show best. It is not uncommon that someone ranks their own wine last. So I made it into the big room with all the big shots and I was anxious to prove I deserved to be there. Everyone else had done this many times and this was my first shot at showing some skills and I wanted to be invited back again for the next time.
So a glass for each one for each person was set up, the wines were passed around, our blank score sheets handed out and we all got started at the 5 S's;
After this everyone wrote down notes about the appearance, aroma, flavor and so on. The person next to me wrote out a sonnet on each of the wines. I was writing down little more than yum vs. yuck, raspberry vs. blackberry. Well at least I know what I liked and I felt fine to vote.
After a few minutes of quiet contemplation, someone mentions that each person will need to read their thoughts on a few of the wines to share with the group. Crap. I was okay scoring the wines, but now my Kindergarten level of wine description was going to be revealed. I was not going to fake some fancy terms or anything so I just had to think of language that described something else that was enjoyable, sensory based, and I was opinionated on. Cars? No, I do not know enough on that. Girls? That will get me in trouble. Music? Bingo! I described each wine as a song, musician, or a regionally based style of music. This got me back in to a descriptive state of qualitative thought and I was able to describe each wine distinctly.
When the tasting concluded and it was my time to talk about the wine, I felt comfortable describing the wine which was spicy, yet a bit subdued as an acoustic set by Carlos Santana. The room laughed and much of tension that was there before lifted. While my technique was not as descriptively useful as what some people would have preferred, it was an icebreaker for the room which was somber and straight faced up to that point. They did invite me back to more tastings and over the years I have added a slew of terms to my sensory library of reference, but the music catalog has expanded as well. It's prett sweet to reflect back on that moment and be part of the Wines that Rock Project today.

Wines That Rock partner Ron Roy was recently featured on the FOX Morning Show in St. Louis. He discussed with hosts Randi Naughton and John Pertzborn the history of the company, how we blended the worlds of wine and music and some other interesting insights when it comes to "tasting the music".
Good Job Ron!!

...Bono, The Edge, and Mick Jagger were among those who couldn't get enough of a Dark Side of the Moon Cabernet Sauvignon, Rolling Stones Forty Licks Merlot, and a Woodstock Chardonnay. This is a great idea that someone should have thought of a long time ago: the wines come from the award winning Mendocino Wine Company with beautiful labels and the real stuff inside. Delicious.
"these are no mere novelty acts: I indulged in Forty Licks Merlot on Thanksgiving, and it went down like cherries and cinnamon; the Woodstock Chardonnay had the mineral, fruity brightness of liquid sunshine. I haven't uncorked the Dark Side of the Moon yet, but I'm thinking I'll have to cue it up with a Wizard of Oz screening"
This past Saturday and Sunday, Wines That Rock was out in force at 2 separate Stew Leonard's locations to pour it out and and let people try and buy Wines That Rock. It was a really fun time. So nice to let people taste and talk about the wines. We got some great reactions, comments and made a bunch of new friends. It was always a treat to see people catch a glimps of the bottles for the first time, and watch them light up as they realized what they were looking at. Never underestimate the power of Rock 'n Roll.
After tasting all 3 varietals, and putting a few bottles of Dark Side of the Moon in her shopping cart, Mary Ann rolled up her paints leg to show us her true musical passions.
Classic!! The entire Wines That Rock team really enjoyed meeting everyone. It was a fun 2 days.
Another fun moment came when Crystal was sampling The Rolling Stones Merlot. We had some videos of the Stones playing in the store, and as she took a sip and tried the wine, the lyrics of You Can't Always Get What You Want sang out:
I saw her today at the reception - A glass of wine in her hand
We all agreed it was a "sign" and Crystal grabbed a few bottles of Forty Licks Merlot. We all had a good laugh over that. Thanks Crystal.
Crystal - "It won't take 40 Licks!- Loved it!"
Lots of folk coming out mentioned where they had heard of us (Stew Leonard's Wines Website, Facebook, Twitter, The Today Show, and a bunch more), and were excited to try the wine for the fist time.
Here is a shot of our Yonkers Display
Special Thanks go out the entire Stew Leonards team at BOTH locations.

- GQ magazine's style editor Adam Rapoport
This Saturday will mark our first ever in-store wine tasting. We are very excited and honored to be working with the legendary Stew Leonard's as we launch Wines That Rock throughout the New York area.
We want to break the traditional mode of wine tasting and not only let the wine shine but have everyone enjoy the classic rock sounds of The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and the many artists who played Woodstock. We know the Long Island wine loving crowd will enjoy our visit and this is just the start of a long, fabulous relationship.

You know those times when you find a great meme/image/anecdote, and you share it on your Facebook page…only to see…nothing?
Yeah, I hate when that happens too.
There's nothing worse then thinking, "Oh this is going to be great" and then it falls flat.
Why do I care so much?
Because I care about our community and I want to make them laugh – or say "Aha! Yvette's a genius!"
Kidding, I just want you to enjoy our page.
Facebook Faux Pas
A few weeks ago on Open Forum, Christopher Litster, senior vice present of sales and marketing at Constant Contact, shared the top ten Facebook "faux pas" – the reasons people don't "like" your Facebook status updates.
Asking questions that are too broad or personal.
According to a recent article on Inc., messages on Twitter with a question mark drew 52 percent fewer clicks for B2C companies and 39 percent fewer for B2B companies. So if you're going to ask questions Facebook is the place to do it, but stay away from open-ended ones. Give your community a choice or create a poll. Have fun, but don't get too personal.
The tone is uninspiring.
Yes, you're creating posts for an organization, but that doesn't mean you should sound like a corporate robot. See previous comment about having fun.
Every post is pure text.
It's fine to have an all text post. However, you don't want all of your posts to be just text. Litster suggests using "any image that's visually appealing and relates to your post or company." It's easy, so take the extra five minutes and do it.
There's too much focus on selling or your only talking about your business.
Your page is for your business AND your fans. Of course you should share company news, but keep in mind, "People go to Facebook to catch up and connect. When they want to buy, they'll go to your website," says Litster.
The message isn't in sync with your audience or business.
Make sure each post serves the interests of your community and your business. Whether it's funny, a tip or trick, or something interesting – it should align with your company and audience.
You're not responding.
You should always respond. Enough said.
Your page has an identity crisis.
Use an editorial calendar. They help provide structure, but are also flexible so you can change a post at a moment's notice.
You're not offering anything.
"One of the reasons people become fans is for the perks," says Litster, so offer deals or insider offers.
One of my favorites is Sprinkles Cupcakes. They have a word of the day and if you're one of the first 50 people to say it in their retail store, you get a free cupcake. Not everyone can offer a free cupcake, but simple things, such as highlighting a fan as the Facebook Fan of the Week (ahem) show you care about your community.
You give up too easily.
Still don't know what your community wants? According to Inside Facebook, Facebook has started highlighting the most engaging posts in the page admin panel. AND they also notify you when a post performs better than average so start there.
Growing a social media presence takes patience. And it won't happen overnight. Take time to find valuable content, engage with your fans, and soon you'll be successful in social media.
What do you love to see on a company Facebook page? And what do you loathe?

29 Comments on "Nine Reasons Fans Don't "Like" Your Status Updates"
I try to build up good social media karma by chiming in on friends' pages. 🙂
@Suze Carragher Yup. Being promiscuous in commenting on the things that engage and interest you is a good thing even if the link between being an active commentER and commentEE is tenuous at best. Good post, good comment.
Relentless sales hype, no interaction with other FB users, stupid posts trying to be silly, mentioning relevant news items but just linking to them and not offering any expertise commentary.
I always say 'AHA! Yvette is a genius!" These are great tips for the rest of us 🙂 Thanks, lady!
Cision NA Bwahaha!!! I have my moments 🙂
[…] Nine Reasons Fans Don't "Like" Your Status Updates, Spin Sucks […]
It is so crucial to respond and engage with your community or they won't be around for long.
PattiRoseKnight1 Exactly!!
PattiRoseKnight1 Serious-a-mundo. Why would I hang around a place where no one's even interested in having a conversation? I don't let people talk at me offline and then ignore my response…
JoeCardillo PattiRoseKnight1 Right?! Great point Joe – and that's what we try and tell clients. If you were at a networking event, you wouldn't be talking about your industry the entire time. You try and connect with people, get to know them, what their hobbies are, where they are from, what their background is, etc. So why would you just share corporate robot talk online?!
JoeCardillo PattiRoseKnight1 We love you Joe!!!
PattiRoseKnight1 JoeCardillo Aww thanks. You know I adore alla y'all, right?
(ironic that I didn't respond to Yvette's reply. talk about ignoring a response =P)
Kato42 I always want a cupcake!!
I see it a lot too and its one of the things that turns me off. I'll only visit or like their pages if I want something.
I love when brands showcase their fans. It's easier for some, but I like seeing real people. Love that the local car dealership is trying to be part of the community. It's a step in the right direction, but like you said, there's so much more they can do.
Kato42 Well said. I think the biggest problem happens when people stop thinking about it as a conversation with other human beings. Sounds sort of obvious, but there are some pretty bad offenders out there.
Oh you are a genius Yvette =)
When it comes to building community, brands have to remember they are dealing some pretty smart processing power in the human brain. But you know what, you can easily get people to tell you what they want, eliminating the trial and error.
JoeCardillo Haha, why thank you Joe!
Agreed – if you ask, they will let you know what's on their mind!
So, any words of wisdom for those of us who are slowly (ever so slowly!) working on building audience? This beginning stage feels like we're talking to a wall. Where's the line between patience (Daniel-san)) and making the decision that you've got the wrong approach?
KateNolan Truth be told, I've found that off-line connections are the most important in getting things going. Like Gini said in another article, when she does speaking engagements, she sees an increase in activity on the Spin Sucks blog.
Kato42 So it's back to being patient and keeping channels open. Wax on; Wax off; Wax on…. 🙂
KateNolan Or, methodically try different approaches and track what works… take one approach for a week, keep the stuff that's resonating and switch up the stuff that isn't with something else for another week, and so on. Like the scientific method, but on social media 🙂
I like the concept of asking "A or B" questions on Facebook, because I think you're right: open-ended questions don't get much engagement. I wonder if it's the same with Twitter—it's always easier to answer A/B questions, no matter what platform you're on.

King's Daughters Ministry gives man a free car
By ERIN MILLER
Stephens Media Hawaii
very Rogers couldn't sleep Tuesday night.
The 53-year-old Kalapana resident said he had butterflies in his stomach keeping him awake as he awaited Wednesday morning, when he could catch a ride to Kainaliu.
Once he arrived, Rogers picked up the keys to a 1991 Ford Bronco, a free vehicle provided to his family of four from King's Daughters Ministry Inc.
Rogers recently purchased another vehicle, for about $300.
"It made it about three months," he said. "Everything on it was dangerous. There was nothing on it that was safe."
Rogers, who is married with two children, ages 1 and 4, moved to Kalapana about eight years ago from Alaska. He had previously lived in Kalapana about 30 years ago, before the lava flow.
A construction worker by trade, he said he "used up" his back in that physically demanding field and is now disabled.
In addition to his health problems, Rogers' children also have frequent doctors appointments because of chronic health conditions.
His family stayed in Kalapana Wednesday while he rode with a neighbor to Kona to pick up the car, which only had 50,000 miles on the odometer, despite being 22 years old. The Bronco had been prepped with new tires, an updated safety inspection sticker and a full tank of gas.
The latter was a pleasant surprise.
"I was a little worried about the gas," Rogers said. "I figured I had just (money for gas) enough to make it."
Helen Vailuu, King's Daughters Ministry president, handed Rogers the keys and guided him through the process of signing over the title. The nonprofit organization, which runs a thrift store in Kainaliu bearing its name, has given away several cars to families in need over the years.
"There's so many people that need help out here," Vailuu said. "It's sad."
King's Daughters does more than give away cars. The organization is opening its first transitional women's shelter in Hilo in September. Another thrift store, this one in Kailua-Kona's Old Industrial Area, is also slated to open in the fall, Vailuu said. The thrift store in Kainaliu provides funding for the organization, but also gives some of the people Vailuu is helping a place to work and learn job skills. "We try to get them to want to work," she said.
Starting soon, her thrift store will have to make payroll, as the all-volunteer organization is going to begin paying some workers, she said.
Vailuu is always looking for more donations, both cash and items to sell in her shops.
Each Thanksgiving, Vailuu and the King's Daughters give away turkeys — more than 300 in recent years — to families to help them celebrate the holiday.
"This is such a passion of mine, because of the need of people," she said. "Sometimes we just need to be there to pick them up. They need to know people are out there to help them."

Brought to us from the creators of Mabinogi, Nexon brings us Vindictus, known as Mabinogi Heroes in Korea. Nexon is known for its free to play games, though sometimes lacking in visual stimulation, overall astonishingly fun and addicting. Vindictus recreates that fun, and addictive nature, but brings to the table, Visual stimulation. Using Valve's Source Engine, Nexon was able to give Vindictus a beautiful landscape, with some detailed character models.
It's simple click style action can become very addicting to the after school player, with only a short amount of time to play each day. Giving you a small set of normal attack combinations with the "Smash" attack finish after any number of click combos. Given it's simple combat there isn't alot of upgrading when it comes to skills. Most combat is based on the simple strategy, attack quickly and dodge, resume attacking after dodging.
It includes a token system, in which you pay a certain amount of tokens to play missions after a certain level. The more missions you run in one day the more the token cost is for any mission. Of course, knowing Nexon, you are able to purchase special tokens that only require 1 token per "boat" no matter your number of missions in that day, Tokens are renewed 3 times a week. Even so it is a game that is best played only a few hours a day, considering each mission takes at maximum 25 to 30 minutes each if you do them alone.
Questing is optional, though important for faster leveling. Most items can be purchased through the in-game marketplace, but you lose experiance for not going through the mission in order to obtian the items. Although, your quest item isn't garunteed to appear, therefore requiring you to do the same mission reapitedly until you obtain the item. This can get very boring and some what irritating if the mission costs tokens, or isn't able to be completed alone. Quests and missions are the same for each class. So aside from the different weapons, and slightly different attack and play style, replay becomes useless, and quite unattractive.
Overall, the game can be quite fun, though isn't a number one choice for the gaming enthusiest. I myself may rate this action, hack and slash at a 3 out of 5. Though that is highly opinion based, I urge others to try it out for themselves.

Our BeerJoin Our Email List
Pale Ale
A golden hued pale brewed with pilsner malt, noble hops, and our unique house yeast. Dry hopped with a blend of noble and American hops to complement the subtle fruity yeast profile, providing a complete flavor and aroma experience. This beer is for those looking to get more out of their go to beer. Full flavor upfront, with a clean finish. 4.9% ABV. [draft and cans]
Session IPA (summer seasonal)
Light, crisp, and hop forward, this tweener ale has the drinkability of a pale ale and the hoppy punch of an IPA. A simple malt bill anchored by organic pilsner allows the house yeast and American hops to shine through, producing the piney and citrusy flavor and aroma you expect from an American IPA, and of course it's dry hopped. 5.5% ABV. [draft only]
Extra Special Bitter (fall and winter seasonal]
A Texan take on an English classic. This ale greets you with a crisp bitterness, but then quickly brings forth it's malt complexity. Rich and toasty malts dominate and set this beer apart from its caramel driven English counterparts. Balance is always key, as this beer has excellent quaffability and plenty of flavor to stimulate your taste buds indefinitely. 5.8% ABV [draft only]
Coffee Milk Stout
Inspired by Cafe' Cubano, this 5.9% American stout is brewed with lactose and Huila Acevedo coffee beans from our friends at Flat Track Coffee Roasters. The beans produce a soft, sweet, savory profile with hints of cherry that pair perfectly with the beers' creamy texture and burnt sugar notes. Rotating seasonal coffee varieties will be used with each new batch. Stay tuned for more details! [draft and cans]
Marco IPA
Our original 7.0% American IPA features El Dorado and Simcoe hops. "Burnt Orange" in color, it has a substantial and complex malt profile. Powerful aromatics of tropical fruit and pine, from extensive dry hopping, will welcome you. A warm, bready malt character quickly washes away the initial bitterness, and then gives way to the resinous hops. Overall, a well balanced and full-bodied IPA with complexity in both the malt and hop profiles. [draft and cans]
Honey Blonde
The taproom is the creation of our architects at Dick Clark and Associates who along with the founders visualized a place where every aspect of the brewing process is on display.

Kate Connor used to be a demon hunter: Now she's a stay-at-home mom, a "glorified chauffeur for pep squad practice and Gymboree play dates." But when a demonic assassin shows up at her suburban home minutes before an important dinner party, the retired Hunter is forced back into action to save her town -- and her freshly baked mini-quiches -- from the invading fiend and his army of the undead.
Kate's husband and her two kids don't know anything about her demon-killing past -- and she wants to keep it that way. So while doing what supermoms do -- raising an inquisitive two-year old, dealing with a teenage girl's myriad of social issues, supporting an overworked husband running for county attorney, etc. -- Kate also finds time to unravel the mystery behind the sudden ghoulish invasion. It seems a master demon named Goramesh has come to town in search of an invaluable religious artifact secreted in a much-storied cathedral. But in order to obtain the relic, Goramesh must first find a suitable human subordinate…The character of Kate Connor is an appealing mélange of Laurell K. Hamilton's sexy, butt-kicking vampire executioner Anita Blake, Sex and the City's super-cool column writer Carrie Bradshaw, and the women of ABC's Desperate Housewives, whose lives revolve around domestic intrigues like potty training, teenage curfews, PTA meetings, bake sales, neighborhood gossip -- and scandalous secrets. Fast-paced and strikingly clever, this lighthearted romp through suburbia will appeal to romance, mystery, and fantasy fans alike. Paul Goat Allen

Going into each season we wonder. We wonder what rookies will step up and make a name for themselves. We wonder which teams will fall flat on their faces and even which teams will shock the world.
We rarely wonder which of the players are going to take a nosedive in terms of production. We try not to wonder which of our favorite players may just be entering "stiff-dom." That's why I'm here.
Someone needs to point it out to fans because they ignore it until they raise their arms, shrug their shoulders and ask: "What happened?" Keep reading and you'll see what happened to these once-great players.
I would like to warn you that seeing a few of these players on my list might get your blood boiling. Just take a deep breath and try not to soil yourself. Things will be OK.
If you choose to comment, which I encourage, please try to be respectful. I'm not telling you that you suck or calling your mother names. I am just pointing out some facts you may have overlooked.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.

My Summerfest: Cecilio Negron Jr. of De La Buena
When to see him: 5 p.m.Friday, BMO Harris Pavilion
Fest experience: The son of local musician Cecilio Negron, Negron Jr., 37, recalls going to Summerfest to see his father play beginning when he was 14. His father has performed at Summerfest at least 10 times.
Best fest moment: I got to perform in the amphitheater when I was 17. I was in a hip-hop group, and we won a radio contest and got to open for Patti LaBelle. That memory of being on that amphitheater stage definitely influenced me to pursue music full time.
Best Big Gig set: Santana a few years ago. I had never seen Santana before, and I got to see a legend.
Top show to see:Femi Kuti & the Positive Force (10 p.m. June 28, Johnson Controls World Sound Stage). Anytime Femi is around, I want to see Femi. It's a great show with a great band, really good music and a very good message. His backup singers pretty much dance the whole time, and not only that, their harmonies are just right. It's crazy.
Must-have food: Barbecue chicken from Saz's, definitely.
If I ran Summerfest: I would have a total Afro-Caribbean day — all the bands, all the food, the whole environment.
— Piet Levy

Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills looked like scenes from European alps
- From: adelaidenow
- July 13, 2012
A FREAK thunderstorm has transformed the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills into a picturesque alpine scene.
Hailstones the size of 10c coins blanketed roads and hills.
Homes were flooded and businesses were caught off guard by the sudden storm, which dumped more than 30mm of rain in some areas in less than half an hour.
The heaviest fall - of 40mm - was recorded at Mt Adam, while Rowland Flat received 37mm.
Other towns to bear the brunt of the storm included Lyndoch, Williamstown, Birdwood and Mt Pleasant.
Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster David House said while thunderstorms often occurred in winter, the severity of yesterday's weather was uncommon. He said the thunderstorm was initiated by warmer than average temperatures - Adelaide basked in a mild 19C , 4C above the July average - and moisture from the northeast.
"Often we see hail in winter and it is often mistaken for snow," Mr House said.
He said another 10mm to 15mm of rain was forecast to midnight on Sunday, with showers developing today.
The Lou Miranda Estate at Rowland Flat was hit with a huge burst of rain and hail for about 20 minutes. Worker Lisa Miranda said the building was flooded.
"We had hail pelting probably about the size of 10c pieces," she said. "Basically it just flooded into our office and into the restaurant."
Her mother Valerie said she had lived in the Barossa Valley for 20 years and had never seen anything that resembled the snow-like hills created by the abrupt hailstorm.
"It is the most beautiful sight you will ever see - once in a lifetime," she said.
Barossa Grape and Wine Association chief executive Sam Holmes said the hail was quite patchy and any impact would be limited.
"Some parts of the Barossa received no hail, while others were hammered, but it is as good a time as any to see hail," Mr Holmes said.
Tim Corcoran was driving from Williamstown to Lyndoch, which was hit with 24mm of rain, when the hailstorm hit. He said the hailstones were up to 1.5cm wide.
"It pelted down, then there was all this ice on the ground and a lot of water melting off vineyards at Rowland Flat," he said.
The State Emergency Service responded to 24 calls, after flood damage, nte mainly in the greater Mt Barker area.
An SES spokesman said hail had blocked drains at businesses and on roads, causing buildings to flood and creeks to struggle.

Looking for love – or just a friend? While out at Beacher's Madhouse at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood Saturday, Lauren Conrad was "very flirty" with Glee's Cory Monteith – and at one point, appeared to give the actor her number. When she wasn't chatting up the cute Canuck, Conrad, clad in a black tank top, skirt, blazer and Chanel bag, danced in her seat, chatted with friends and sipped on a cocktail. Later in the evening, her former maybe-flame Derek Hough came by, and the two hugged and had a friendly conversation before parting ways. The star finished the night with champagne, and stayed until the club closed.

IWPR and the Work and Family Researchers Network coordinated a briefing, "New Health and Economic Research on Work and Family Policies in the United States and Canada," sponsored by Senator Patty Murray.
Panelists presented current research on the benefits of family leave policies, who accesses benefits, and barriers to usage.
Burnout hurts. When you burn out, you feel diminished, like a part of yourself has gone into hiding. Challenges that were formerly manageable feel insurmountable. There's a lot of stigma around admitting that you're overwhelmed, and that keeps many people trapped in a state of burnout. Here's what to do in order to rebound and sustain wellbeing.
Shojo chef Mark O'Leary is a vocal advocate of work-life balance in the restaurant industry.
Today's workforce includes more than 23 million family caregivers, and that number is only projected to grow. Competing for talent will be tougher as candidates increasingly look for employers who support this part of their life. The good news? Support doesn't need to be complicated or expensive to drive positive impact.
"The major economic and business themes over the past year have been focused on companies doing more with fewer resources, the skills gap and further advances in technology that have given rise to security issues."

'United States of Tara' - 'From This Day Forward': Charmaine getting married
A review of the "United States of Tara" season two finale coming up just as soon as I take leggings for granted...
"Let's plow." -Charmaine
"From This Day Forward" ended this confident second season on a very strong note. Some stories never quite worked (specifically, anything to do with Kate, including what turned out to be underuse of Viola Davis), and others are left to be dealt with next season (the mystery of Hubbard's relationship to Tara, the half-brother that Tara and Charmaine will now likely want to track down), but Diablo Cody and company wrapped up most of what they needed to, and did it in the show's usual mix of the poignant and the ridiculous.
In particular, the finale was a wonderful showcase for Rosemarie DeWitt as Charmaine. Charmaine began the series as the broadest, most extraneous character, but as she's come to (mostly) accept the reality of her sister's condition, Charmaine's emotional story has become just as important and powerful as Tara's or Max's or Marshall's. Here, even though she was rushing into marriage with great-on-paper Nick while carrying the baby of better-for-her-in-reality Neil, I felt for her as that wedding was upstaged and eventually wrecked by Tara's issues. And then I laughed at the slap fight with Chicken, and then felt for both sisters when their parents revealed the truth about their half-brother and the molestation that led to Tara's DID. And if Charmaine didn't get the trophy husband(*), she does get the guy she clearly liked better (even if she treated him awfully at times), and I liked the 21st century Miss Havisham quality of her going to the bar with him without taking off the wedding dress.
(*) Interestingly, Tara's alters generally come out when she's under attack in some way, but here Chicken (whose role is to protect Charmaine) emerges, I suspect, because Tara realizes on some level that Charmaine doesn't really want to marry Nick - who turns out to be no prize with the rough way he handles Charmaine outside the kitchen - and uses Chicken to do the dirty work. Once the wedding is over, Tara returns.
And now that we have a clearer sense of what caused Tara's DID, I'll be curious to see what next season's stories might be. This information won't cure her, and she still probably has to find Brice and find out more about Hubbard, but now we're worrying about the margins of the bigger picture. The Gregson marriage has survived distractions by Pammy and Lynda and then Pammy again, the kids are (for now) back on their mom's side again, and Shoshanah is still around to offer advice. What conflict comes next? Other than, of course, the never-ending battle to give Kate something to do that makes sense, is interesting and in any way has something to do with the rest of the family?
Where would you like to see "Tara" go next season? And what did you think of how season two wrapped up?

HOUSTON — Once the Houston Texans' defense started making plays, rookie Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins had no chance.
Arian Foster had two touchdown runs, Matt Schaub threw a TD pass to Andre Johnson, and Houston's defense overwhelmed Tannehill and the Dolphins in the Texans' 30-10 win over Miami on Sunday.
Tannehill, the eighth overall pick in the draft, had one of the toughest assignments of any of the five rookie quarterbacks starting on opening weekend, facing a defense that ranked second overall last season.
He looked fine early, but then threw three interceptions in a game-turning 6-minute stretch late in the first half, and the Texans marched to an impressive opening win in what they believe can be a Super Bowl season.
Texans defensive end J.J. Watt deflected two passes that resulted in interceptions and also had 1½ sacks. Watt missed most of training camp with a dislocated left elbow.
Tannehill finished 20 of 36 for 219 yards. He made his pro debut on the same field where he played his last college game, leading Texas A&M to a 33-22 win over Northwestern in the Meineke Car Care Bowl last December.
Schaub threw for 266 yards in his first action since fracturing his right foot in Week 10 last year, and Johnson finished with 119 yards receiving.
Marcus Thigpen returned a punt 72 yards for Miami's touchdown. The Dolphins gained only 275 total yards.
The Texans, who've boldly adopted a "Super Bowl or Bust" mantra, came out sluggish. They dropped passes and missed tackles early and trailed 3-0 midway through the second quarter. The team unfurled a red, white and blue "2011 AFC South Champions" banner before the game, but the impatient fans were already booing after another drive stalled in the second period.
That's when Houston's defense, the catalyst of last year's playoff drive, came alive.
Pro Bowl cornerback Johnathan Joseph started the flurry of Miami turnovers when he intercepted Tannehill and weaved 36 yards down the sideline. Mike Pouncey shoved Joseph out of bounds for a personal foul, setting up Houston at the Miami 7.
The Texans' offense couldn't convert for a touchdown. Schaub was sacked by Randy Starks, eliciting more boos, and Shayne Graham tied it with a 35-yard field goal.
On Miami's next series, the 6-foot-5 Watt deflected Tannehill's pass at the line, and Brian Cushing came down with another interception. Schaub converted a third down with a 24-yard pass to Johnson, and Foster weaved for a 14-yard touchdown to put Houston in front.
Foster, who sat out Friday's practice with a sore knee, flipped the ball toward the official and offered his customary bow to the re-energized fans in the end zone.
Watt swatted Tannehill's next pass and cornerback Kareem Jackson came down with it at the Miami 27. Richard Marshall then was called for pass interference and Foster plowed into the end zone from the 1.
Tannehill handed off on Miami's next play from scrimmage, but that didn't work for the floundering Dolphins, either. Daniel Thomas fumbled and Danieal Manning recovered at the Dolphins 31 with 28 seconds left before halftime. Schaub then threw a pinpoint pass to the end zone for Johnson, who outmuscled Sean Smith for a 24-3 halftime lead.
Thomas, Miami's second-leading rusher last season, left with a head injury and did not return.
Graham added 40- and 19-yard field goals after Thigpen's punt return.

Daniel Has His Day Winning Best Actor For 'Lincoln' At The Oscars
Category: Entertainment
/ Feb 25, 2013 11:06AM EDT
For his epic portrayal of America's loved former President, Daniel-Day Lewis took the Oscar for best actor in the intense drama 'Lincoln'. Day-Lewis was the night's front runner, and made Oscar history for winning his third Oscar for best actor. "I do know that I've received so much more than my fair share of good fortune in my life and I'm so grateful to the Academy for this beautiful honor. It's a strange thing because three years ago, before we decided to do a straight swap, I had actually been committed to play Margaret Thatcher and Meryl was Steven's first choice for Lincoln and I'd like to see that version." The humble British born actor won a Golden Globe, British BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild in the lead up to the Oscar's for his memorable performance. Day-Lewis has been honored with critical acclaim for his portrayal of the loved American icon Abraham Lincoln. His transformation into the President gave him the honor of the first person to win an Oscar for playing a U.S President. Video Courtesy OF Reuters

'Minute and Separate': Considering the Admissibility of Videotaped Forensic Interviews in Child Sexual Abuse Cases after Crawford and Davis
Kimberly Y. Chin
Allen, Glaessner, Hazelwood & Werth LLP
Boston College Third World Law Journal, Vol. 30, No. 1, 2010
Child sexual abuse is one of the least prosecuted crimes in the United States in part because of the many evidentiary challenges prosecutors face. In 2004, the Supreme Court introduced a new standard for determining the admissibility of out-of-court statements made by declarants who are unavailable to testify at trial. In Crawford v. Washington, the Supreme Court held that testimonial statements are only admissible at trial if the declarant is unavailable to testify and there was a prior opportunity for cross-examination. This Note will examine Crawford's impact on the admissibility of videotaped forensic interviews with child victims of sexual abuse and suggest that courts adopt a "minute and separate" approach when deciding whether statements contained in those interviews are testimonial in nature.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 36
Keywords: Confrontation Clause, Sixth Amendment, Crawford, Davis, Melendez-Diaz, primary purpose test, testimonial, child abuse, sexual abuse, videotape, forensic interview, evidence, hearsay

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Janeiro Ceiling fixture Very happy with this light. This manufacturer has pulled off a minimalistic design that doesn't look cheap. Great light quality too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Simple and elegant This is perfect in our hallway. It blends in with the ceiling when off, and looks clean and contemporary when on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Conway B. from High quality, good price I bought two of these fixtures for a country cottage kitchen where the ceiling is only 7 feet high. They are sleek and shallow enough not to spook my 6'2" husband, and the substantial, matte-finish glass creates a lovely glow with minimal bulb show-through.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Toni from High quality, low cost I purchased two of the 10-inch fixtures for a country kitchen with 7-foot ceilings. They are elegant and unobtrusive (especially important when your husband is 6'2"). I was particularly pleased with the quality of the glass--a fine white matte finish, with minimal bulb show-through, so that the light diffuses evenly.
