Gruyere Cheese Straws
- 2 sheets (1 box) puff pastry, defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 cup gruyere cheese, finely grated
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Golden twists of pastry with swirls of Gruyere and Parmesan cheese and a hint of thyme provide a satisfying crunch that's perfect for a party appetizer or afternoon snack.
Why Try? By using frozen puff pastry, you can quickly make impressive cheese straws that can be piled high on a platter or gathered into a bunch as a decorative arrangement in a tall glass or vase.
Foodie Byte: While these cheese straws can be stored in an airtight container for a few days, they are truly best when eaten within a few hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 10 by 12 inches on a lightly floured board.
- Brush the surface with beaten egg, and sprinkle each rectangle evenly with cheeses, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Cut about 12 strips out of each sheet, and twist, laying about an inch apart on a greased baking tray.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned, then turn over and bake another 5 minutes. Serve.

Karachi - Pakistan on Wednesday named Kamran Akmal in their provisional 30-man squad for this year's World Twenty20, after the wicketkeeper-batsman was cleared of suspicions of spot-fixing.
A Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) integrity committee last week questioned Kamran before approving him for the squad for the tournament in Sri Lanka in September and October.
"Kamran has been selected after he was cleared by the committee and we feel that he can still deliver as keeper and an opener in the Twenty20 cricket," chief selector Iqbal Qasim told AFP.
The 30-year-old has not been selected for Pakistan since the 2011 World Cup.
His name was mentioned at the trial in England last year of three Pakistani Test players over spot-fixing allegations but he was neither summoned by the London court nor banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Former Test captain Salman Butt and pacemen Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer were banned and jailed for contriving deliberate no-balls during the Lord's Test against England in 2010.
Kamran was also accused of deliberately under-performing during Pakistan's surprise defeat against Australia in the 2010 Sydney Test, where he failed to run out Shane Watson and dropped three chances from Michael Hussey.
The ICC directed the PCB to form an integrity committee to check players' conduct and their assets in the wake of the 2010 spot-fixing scandal.
Pakistan appointed Mohammad Hafeez as their Twenty20 captain in May to replace the ageing Misbah-ul Haq.
Misbah, who lost his Twenty20 place, is still missing from the preliminary squad despite vowing to get back in the shortest form.
Also recalled in the preliminary squad are all-rounder Abdul Razzaq and opener Imran Nazir. A final squad of 15 will be announced by mid-August.
Preliminary squad: Mohammad Hafeez, Ahmed Shahzad, Khalid Latif, Nasir Jamshed, Imran Nazir, Shahzaib Hasan, Awais Zia, Sharjeel Khan, Umar Akmal, Asad Shafiq, Haris Sohail, Shoaib Malik, Rameez Raja, Shahid Afridi, Hammad Azam, Abdul Razzaq, Umar Gul, Mohammad Sami, Sohail Tanvir, Yasir Arafat, Wahab Riaz, Junaid Khan, Aizaz Cheema, Anwar Ali, Saeed Ajmal, Abdul Rehman, Raza Hasan, Sarfraz Ahmed, Kamran Akmal, Shakeel Ansar.

From human memes to purrlitical commentary, the Cat Internet is a fully immersive experience, reflecting our own "Human Internet" in as many ways as pawssible.

A Journey to the Interior of the Earth HTML version
When I removed my hand it was black. I looked nearer, and found we were in a coal
"A coal mine!" I cried.
"A mine without miners," my uncle replied.
"Who knows?" I asked.
"I know," the Professor pronounced decidedly, "I am certain that this gallery driven
through beds of coal was never pierced by the hand of man. But whether it be the hand of
nature or not does not matter. Supper time is come; let us sup."
Hans prepared some food. I scarcely ate, and I swallowed down the few drops of water
rationed out to me. One flask half full was all we had left to slake the thirst of three men.
After their meal my two companions laid themselves down upon their rugs, and found in
sleep a solace for their fatigue. But I could not sleep, and I counted every hour until
On Saturday, at six, we started afresh. In twenty minutes we reached a vast open space; I
then knew that the hand of man had not hollowed out this mine; the vaults would have
been shored up, and, as it was, they seemed to be held up by a miracle of equilibrium.
This cavern was about a hundred feet wide and a hundred and fifty in height. A large
mass had been rent asunder by a subterranean disturbance. Yielding to some vast power
from below it had broken asunder, leaving this great hollow into which human beings
were now penetrating for the first time.
The whole history of the carboniferous period was written upon these gloomy walls, and
a geologist might with ease trace all its diverse phases. The beds of coal were separated
by strata of sandstone or compact clays, and appeared crushed under the weight of
overlying strata.
At the age of the world which preceded the secondary period, the earth was clothed with
immense vegetable forms, the product of the double influence of tropical heat and
constant moisture; a vapoury atmosphere surrounded the earth, still veiling the direct rays
of the sun.
Thence arises the conclusion that the high temperature then existing was due to some
other source than the heat of the sun. Perhaps even the orb of day may not have been
ready yet to play the splendid part he now acts.
There were no 'climates' as yet, and a torrid heat, equal from pole to equator, was spread
over the whole surface of the globe. Whence this heat? Was it from the interior of the

The way to do that is to use compound quotes, as you suggest. So, type
-display `"cmd..."'- instead of -display "cmd..."-. I do not see how
you think that that would be buggy. The difficulty with nesting
strings and regular double quotes is that it becomes ambiguous which
quote is a closing quote and which quote is an opening quote. That is
solved by using compound quotes, so that is that.

Why was Modi denied US visa, Advani asks Rice
Modi was denied visa for his alleged role in Gujarat riots of 2002.
New Delhi: Senior BJP leader L K Advani on Saturday raised the issue of US denial of visa to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at his meeting with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Confirming this, BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said Advani asked Rice how the US State Department had issued a clarification that Modi will not be given visa without the latter even applying for it.
"Though granting visa is the right of any sovereign nation it should not ban the entry of any elected chief minister of a democratic country," Advani was quoted as telling Rice.
Rice asked the officials accompanying her to get further details on the issue, Javadekar added.
The clarification was issued by the US after an American leader sought the government's position on the issue in September.
Modi was reportedly denied visa for his alleged role in the Gujarat riots of 2002 which left a trail of death and devastation.
Several human rights groups and sections of the media have accused Modi of inaction and a passive attitude as chief minister when communal riots broke out soon after the Godhra train carnage.
However, the Nanavati Commission looking into the Godhra carnage and the riots that followed, released its report last week, giving a clean chit to Modi.
However, an earlier commission, headed by U C Bannerjee, had indicted Modi in the riots.
Modi was invited to the US by the Gujarati expatriates who wanted him to address their group consisting of NRI business leaders.

Where I stayed
Cascade Acres
Whispering Pines Campground
When we got off the ferry we made our way to Lake Placid. It took just about an hour to get there so it wasn't a bad drive. We stopped at the information center on our way in and then drove down Main Street to check out the town. After checking out the town we headed to the campground to set up the RV for the night.
After getting the RV set up we relaxed a little bit and then got ready to head in to town for the evening. We caught the free trolley in to Lake Placid and headed over to the Lake Placid Brew Pub for some dinner and to try some beers. They had a 45 minute wait so we sat down at the bar and each had a sampler to try their 6 beers. Jared really liked the 46'er and Moosale, and I liked the Backfence IPA and Bruce's Brown Bag Ale. We met a nice couple at the bar while we were hanging out and chatting with them for a while
Saturday, September 24th
Today we slept in and took our time heading out from the campground. We drove the RV to the park & ride lot at the scenic train station. We bought our tickets for the scenic train ride/wine & cheese event. After buying our tickets we walked up to the Olympic Center.
When we got to the Olympic Center we purchased our tickets and then wandered around a little bit on our own before our tour started. We found out that the 1980 rink was being set up for a wedding that was taking place later at 3pm. It was a pretty neat idea and cool to see.
The arena is a sight in itself, and local guides give hour long tours in which the American "Miracle on Ice" hockey victory over the Soviet Union in 1980 figures prominently
The tour includes a view of that game's last two minutes on a television in the stands. Seeing it in the very space where the action unfolded was cool, especially as the announcer, Al Michaels, yelled, "Do you believe in miracles?"
While we were in the upper level of the arena, we were overlooking the USA rink, where some figure skaters were practicing. We were treated with a view of figure skaters Ludmila and Oleg Protopopov, gold medalists in the 1964 Innsbruck and 1968 Grenoble Olympics
Then we walked with Howard down to the 1932 rink and ended the tour at the Hall of Fame, where Howard told us some more stories of the people in the HOF. That concluded our tour. We both really enjoyed the tour, especially since Howard made it much more than just a tour of the facility with his stories of actually living the events/history that he talked about.
We left the Olympic center and walked around Lake Placid's Main street and visited the shops again since now today they are open. We bought our magnet and called it a day shopping. We walked over to the Great Adirondack Brewery, per a suggestion from Jenny (Jared's sister). We relaxed and had some beers and appetizers to settle our rumbling stomachs. We only had their pumpkin ale (seasonal) and the Abbey Ale. Both were tasty. We also got to keep our glasses (which had quotes about beer and Olympic symbols).
By the time, we walked back to the scenic train station it was time to board. We boarded and got seats, and enjoyed the train ride and wine
Sunday, September 25th
Today we got up early and drove to the Olympic Sports complex, which houses the bobsled/luge runs biathalon course. We signed up for a tour, and then checked out a bunch of bobsleds that were outside for you to play with. Then we hoped in the van and began our tour. First, there was the 1980 bobsled run, which isn't iced anymore and is only used to do half runs in the summer on sleds with wheels for tourists. The other run is the combined track, which was built in like 2003 and is used for bobsled, luge, and skeleton. We took a tour up to the top of hill, which was a great view out over the valley. Our guide said Lake Placid is one of the few Olympic cities you can see all of the event sites from one spot (check out the pictures). We headed back down the hill and then headed up the road to see the Ski Jumps.
Since you have to pay to get a close up view of the jumps we decided to pass and got some good shots of the jumps from other places. From here we drove over to the torch, which is now a large horse show grounds and ball fields, but was the site of the opening ceremony for the 1980 games.
Then we continued through lake placid for the last time, as we headed to the Thousand Islands.

Best Director: Sevé Schelenz forSkewU.S. Premiere: April 19 (Myrtle Beach International Film Festival)
The found-footage genre is all the rage — especially in horror films like Paranormal Activity or Cloverfield. Although 1980's Cannibal Holocaust was the first in this genre, 1999's The Blair Witch Project created the modern formula: several ordinary people film something unusual or possibly supernatural, often by accident, with the conceit that the film you're watching was "reconstructed" from their footage. Either you're drawn into the moment and it seems "real", or the jerky camerawork makes you barf in your neighbor's box of Sour Patch Kids — but in either case these films are all pretty much the same. I didn't think it was likely that we'd have a new take on the genre. And then I saw Skew.
Directed by Sevé Schelenz, Skew tells the story of three friends — Simon, Eva, and Rich — on a road trip to a buddy's wedding. Simon just bought a videocamera and wants to document the occasion. Since we're watching a found-footage movie, we check off the inevitable genre tropes: Attractive, likable leads? Check. Abrupt edits and the unpolished camerawork of an amateur? Check. Creepy ominous events? Check. A helpful hotel clerk whose face seems to be all fucked up, despite him acting perfectly normal? Che — woah, what?
Fucked up isn't really a good way to describe it. His face is just...off. You could call it skewed (duh). This effect is so unique and unnerving, and the moment I saw it I held my breath. It's not every day that you see something new and original in a movie, especially a horror film, and I crossed my fingers that Skew could be something special. And then came the kicker: it's not the clerk's face that's off. It's the camera. "Could it be?" I asked myself. "A new take on found footage? Where the killer isn't some ghost, zombie, monster, or bunch of sticks — but the camera itself? Oh man I hope the rest of the movie is this cool!" And, thankfully, it was.
Skew delivers on every level — acting, writing, sound, camerawork, and effects. Such a cohesive film points to great, consistent directing by Schelenz. Skew is such a sublimely simple story, but therein lies its strength: a film like this depends on its audience getting emotionally involved with the characters, and Skew's minimalist plot lets us spend a lot of time with Simon, Eva, and Rich and really get to know them. Schelenz's script is cleverly written, and although the film sounds add-libbed, the actors are reading directly from the screenplay. This is a thinking man's horror film, and you have to pay attention to it to fully grasp the story. And I haven't even discussed the awesome ending, which, well, you'll have to find out for yourself. It makes you want to go back and watch the film again, and upon second viewing I picked up on so much that I missed the first time.
And man, that skewing effect is just so damn creepy. It's worth seeing for that alone. Do yourself a favor and go watch this right now. There's no word on a DVD release yet, but it's on Netflix Instant. Don't watch a trailer, don't read any more plot summary, just press play. You're welcome.

Redland Rescue Inc.
Our Pet List
Our Organization
Redland Rescue, Inc. is a Non Profit, IRS 501(c)3, Doberman Pinscher Rescue Organization. However, we occassionally will take in other working breeds as space permits. We work state wide in Florida with other Doberman Rescues, but primarily cover Dade, Monroe & Broward Counties. We also have foster homes in the Tampa/St. Pete area.
Our Doberman's are evaluated in Foster homes prior to placement. All adoptive homes are provided current medical information along with the Doberman's being fully vaccinated and micro chipped.
We can fax or mail an application to you and upon approval an in home interview will be made with you. No Doberman will be placed in a home without Vet references and an in home visit by one of our members.
Our mailing address is P.O. Box 901616, Homestead, FL 33090
Our Web Address is: www.redlandrescue.org
Who We Are
Our founding members come from a retired Doberman show family and the others through existing Doberman rescue groups. It's a great mix of knowing the breed and understanding rescue. We are proud to be a member Doberman Pincher Club of America. We are also proud of standing by our rescue Dobermans. We have a full disclosure policy to adopting homes of any known problems (health and/or temperment). In the event and adoption through us doesn't work out - we do take our Dobermans back, have a refund policy and do honor it!
Adopting a Friend
This breed is not for everyone, especially rescue Dobes in general. If you have never had a Doberman and think this is the breed for you, please research your choice. The worst thing for us in rescue is to have a Dobie returned. It is damaging to their temperment and their stability. The wrong environment or handling will be disasterous to them and the adopting home. Our adoption fees range from $200 to $350, depending on age/health. Because our Dobes are in private homes, we will not allow anyone into our homes without an approved application.
Volunteering and Donations
Our most urgent need right now is for qualified, loving foster homes. Because we do not board our dogs, we are limited in what we can take in. If you have any experience with Doberman's and have room in your heart and home to helps us out, that is the best donation you can give to us.
Money donations are helpful to the "kids", but there's nothing more important to this breed than a foster home for the rescues to relax in prior to their permanent placement. If you are in Dade or Broward County and can help, please email us: firstname.lastname@example.com
Any and all monetary donation are appreciated. They are fully tax deductable. Gift certificate to Pet Supermarket for food, toys and bedding are also important. We need large crates and bedding for them too!

CM softball gains experience this year
STANTON — Sometimes a young softball team can surprise the coach with their play.
Then again, they can frustrate a coach because of their youth.
That was the story of Central Montcalm's softball team this season, according to coach Jason Johnson.
"At times we played well and other times we showed our youth," Johnson said. "We gave away some games but we won a couple big ones."
One of those "big ones" was against Morley Stanwood, who last year was the Division 3 state champion.
"We beat Morley and they were undefeated in the league," Johnson said. "We lost the first one and I thought we'd get bombed. But we won 9-3. We hit well at the plate. That was the biggest win of the season for us."
Johnson noted a couple of players who stood out to him this season.
"Mikayla Studley is a freshman. She played short, center, third, played wherever we needed her," Johnson said. "She ended up making the all-district team as an outfielder.
"Molly Buskirk was not really a surprise. She was playing behind a senior last year. She ended up having a huge year. She was MVP and made all-district team. She had a good year."
Johnson thinks the Green Hornets will have a pretty good season in 2013.
"Paige Switzer is going to play next year, so we'll have a senior pitcher, which will be a nice thing to have," he said. "We should have a talented team. We should be able to win more than 14 games next year."
Part of that will depend on if Central has a junior varsity team, which they didn't have this past season. The other part will be putting pieces together, according to Johnson.
"We have to secure a couple of key defensive spots," he said. "We have to continue to hit. Some of our bats came alive at times and some of them struggled this year."
Johnson would also like his players to believe in his strategies.
"It's a matter of discipline and trust," he said. "There were times when I would call something and they wouldn't execute because they didn't trust me to do the right thing."

I've been going through some old service manuals I have. This; due to my '97 STS having an over voltage condition that blew out the PCM....
Section 8C1-8 of the 1996 Service Manual Book 1.
This says it. Think about what the smoothing filter would do provided there was quick temp spikes or changes. Think about the fact that it uses a 16 point calibration table. One degree of temperature change would be the difference between the IPC commanding the needle to move to the next 16th position or not. This gives a lot of room for variances between cars. Very easily. So after a head gasket job is complete; if the vehicle ran one degree hotter or cooler; this one degree could be the difference between the gauge needle moving past 12:00 or not.Quote:
Coolant temperature is broadcast from the PCM via Class 2 serial data to the IPC. The IPC compares the temperature data with a sixteen-point calibration table to determine needle deflection. A smoothing filter is used to secure a continuous response.
This is out of the 1996 manual; but keep in mind Cadillac retained a lot of the same electronic engineering through many years and models.
I don't know if this has ever been found by another forum member or not; but if possible; Ranger; please Sticky this somewhere for future reference. This has been of topic for a while; and short of talking to the original engineers; this may be the most in-depth information on the subject we will ever come up with.
Also the smoothing filter; since we now know one is used; may be programmed different through the years and models. Doubtful but easily possible.

WARRIORS ATHLETE OF WEEK: Former stars influenced current hurdles standout
Kelsi Ring and Madison Smith were two of the best girls hurdlers to ever compete for the Brainerd Warriors.
Their status on the Warriors' honor roll (top 15 in school history) supports that fact, as well as what they have accomplished in their post-high school careers.
Ring, now competing for the University of Minnesota-Duluth, ranks first in school history in the 60-meter hurdles (9.15), second in the 100 high hurdles (14.72) and seventh in the 300 hurdles (48.39).
Smith, now competing for the University of Minnesota, ranks No. 1 in school history in the 300s (44.47), second in the 60s (9.63) and third in the 100s (14.91).
Part of the legacy Ring and Smith left on the program was the mentoring they did with then-freshman Brainerd hurdler Chloe Miller, who is now hurdling in their footsteps. Miller ranks third in the 60s (10.09) and ninth in the 100s (16.37).
"They were so great," Miller said of Ring and Smith. "They taught me a lot. They were my friends. They helped me through my freshman year. They made me who I am as a hurdler."
Warriors hurdling coach Howie Jacobs also credited Ring and Smith for Miller's development.
"She really learned a lot from them," he said. "Chloe's probably the best at warming up of anybody. She learned a lot from those two about how to get ready for a meet."
Miller has roared over the hurdles this year. In last week's Brainerd Time Trials, she scored wins in the 100 hurdles and long jump.
"It was really windy that day," Miller said. "I just did my best. I switched legs a couple times (in the hurdles) but it all worked out in the end.
"I had four (long) jumps. My first was my best one. It felt really good. It was just a good meet."
Miller opened the season with wins in the 60s at the Huskie Classic and the Central Lakes Conference Indoor meets, both at St. Cloud State University.
"I switched lead legs this year, that's helped me out," she said. "It's been a learning experience. I've had to work on it and it's paying off.
"I used to go over the top with my right leg. Coach Jacobs and I found out that I was much faster going over with the left leg."
Jacobs said the leg switch has paid dividends.
"During the first two weeks of practice we switched lead legs, which is almost unheard of for a hurdler," he said. "It turns out she's been much faster than she's been in the past."
Ring and Smith aren't the only mentors from whom Miller has learned.
"Coach Jacobs is the best coach I could ask for and I owe all of my accomplishments to him," she said. "... He is really a great coach."
Warriors head coach Dan Clabo said Miller is one of the team's hardest workers and should vie for one of the top spots in the section 100 and 300 hurdles races.
"She's in very good shape, and our indoor meets pretty much showed it," Clabo said. "She's knocked off time, bettered her best in the first two meets. She's off to a very good start."
Miller's work in the weight room is another reason she has made improvement this spring.
"Coach Jacobs puts an emphasis on squatting," she said. "That's helped with the 300 hurdles, endurance-wise."
In June, Miller hopes to return to the section finals in the 100s for the third straight year. She finished sixth last year and eighth as a freshman.
"It would be awesome to have an opportunity to go to state," Miller said. "I will have to improve but I think it's a possibility."
Other notable efforts:
• Jackson Walters, boys track and field, won two events and were on a winning relay in the Brainerd Time Trials meet.
• Cole Smith, boys track and field, won two events and were on a winning relay in the Brainerd Time Trials meet.
• Nikki Anderson, softball, pitched 10 scoreless innings, including a one-hit complete game, against Moorhead.

Doyle edges Ramabeletsa
By James Slater
Photos: Scott Raven
In a terrific battle , Manchester unbeaten Ryan Doyle kept his unbeaten record and won the international masters featherweight title with a desperately close one point win over South Africa's Michael Ramabeletsa on Saturday night at the Bowler's Arena in Manchester. The score of 95-94 is reflective of how tough and how close the fight was. Doyle suffered a badly cut right eye and both men bled from the nose. The pace was red hot all the way and both guys gave their all. Ramabeletsa lost a point for holding in the 7th, a round that saw him go down, only for it to be ruled a slip. The South African was elusive and clever, Doyle was all aggression. It all added up to make a great fight. Neither guy deserved to lose really and both warriors spoke of a rematch afterwards. Doyle is now 9-0(5). Ramabeletsa is now 11-11 (5).
Unbeaten super-bantamweight Liam Hanrahan wiped out Spain's previously unbeaten Sal Tejada in just one minute and 13-seconds of the opening round. A right to the head sent Tejada crashing and he was counted out. Falling to 2-1, the visitor claimed the punch that felled him was to the back of the head. Hanrahan is now 6-0(4).
Bobby Hough, a light heavyweight trained by Matthew Hatton, improved to 2-0 with a 4-round points win over serial clowner, the always durable Jody Meikle. The Stockport prospect kept his composure as Meikle went through his bag of tricks – dropping his hands, grinning,Switch hitting and mugging to the crowd. Hough was all business and he won every session.Score was 40-36.
Making his pro debut, cruiserweight Sam Hyde won a commanding 4-round points win over a tough Elvis Dube of Derby. Hyde of Manchester enjoyed huge vocal support and scored two knockdowns in the 2nd round. Dube, a 29 fight veteran, survived and made it to the final bell only to lose by a 40-34 margin.
Chiseled Welsh heavyweight prospect Andy Jones, a southpaw, improved to 2-0(0) with a good learning fight against Lithuanian veteran Remigius Tiovsky. Boxing in a four rounder of just 2-minute rounds, the learning fighter who is very much a work in progress won every round and won by a 40-36 margin. Tiovsky has been the distance with names Dereck Chisora and Sam Sexton.
Liverpool welterweight Peter Spencer was made to work hard by Polish veteran Arek Malek. improving to 11-0, spencer won by a score of 39-37 and didn't have things his own way. The Pole was having his 81st bout.
Promising Chorley welterweight Jack Catterall improved to 7-0(4) with a one-way traffic beating of a game but outclassed Aleksus Vaseris of Lithuania. Catteral decked his man in the 1st and looked in for a short night. But the visitor, showing heart, hung in there and really took some shots, to the body especially. Finally, at one minute and 38-seconds of the 5th the ref had seen enough and stopped the one-sided affair. Southpaw Catteral has people excited.
Tonight in Manchester on Dave Coldwell's latest show "Call of Duty" light welter Kerry Edwards of Wales got the night started with an exciting 3rd round KO over Shaun Malcolm of Sheffield. Wild at times but always aggressive and fun to watch, Edwards won the 1st on sheer work rate. Caught off balance in the 2nd Edwards received a count but was unhurt. Ending matters with a right hand followed by a left to the head, Edwards got the win at one minute and 53-second of the 3rd. Both men were making their pro debut.

Officials continue to investigate Hwy 12 fatal crash
BUTTE, Mont. - A fire engine and a pickup truck collided Thursday night causing an explosion. It killed the Three Forks fire chief who was driving the fire truck and a Helena family of five, including three children, in the pickup truck.
The Montana Department of Transportation closed U.S. Highway 12 east of Helena for hours to give troopers time to investigate.
Helena resident John Elliott was headed home on Highway 12 Thursday night when he witnessed the crash. He said he pulled to the side of the road to get a better look.
"By the time I got out of my vehicle, it was pretty much just going up in a ball of flames. I didn't even know what I was looking at at first," said Elliott.
Elliott soon realized it was fire truck and pickup truck.
"A few minutes after I got out of my car that's when I heard the first explosion," said Elliott.
Elliott said he and others watched in shock.
"Nobody saw anybody walk out of this one," said Elliott. "And that's when I knew it was pretty serious."
Sergeant Alex Betz with the Montana Highway Patrol was one of many on the scene late Thursday.
"They were off the shoulder of the road, fully engulfed in flames," said Betz.
Investigators measured skid marks to recreate the scene and figure out what happened before the crash.
"There were troopers on scene from the origination of the call until this morning," said Betz.
Betz said they determined the fire truck was headed east and the pickup was headed west. Both vehicles ended up in a ditch on the north side of the road.
The Department of Transportation reopened the road around 8 a.m. after all the evidence of the crash had been collected.
"There's a lot of information that we pick up off the roads," said Betz.
Elliot said it took time to process what saw Thursday night. "That helpless feeling that you can't do anything to help them, it hit me later," said Elliott.

The recent spike in shootings across Sydney may encourage more young men to arm themselves with a gun and turn petty disputes into fatal ones, the state's leading crime researcher says.
Four men, all with links to bikie gangs or organised crime, were killed in Sydney last month. Eight people have been killed in public shootings this year, with police investigating 65 other non-fatal incidents across the city.
NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research director Don Weatherburn has warned that, if the violence continues, others may feel the need to arm themselves for protection.
''The thing that worries me most is that the shootings themselves may encourage more young men to seek a gun. What would otherwise be non-fatal fights could turn into fatal disagreements,'' Dr Weatherburn said.
The number of public shootings dropped off at the end of last year but the number has risen again, although he said it was still below the level of gun crime that erupted on our streets a decade ago.
There has, however, been an increase in the past month, he said.
''There has certainly been a spike of late. The most distinctive feature is that people have been killed whereas previously people were driving up and just shooting at houses,'' he said.
''But I don't know where it will end or when it will end. We seem to get these spikes periodically and this is not the first and not the worst. The biggest spike we had was back in 2000 but the problem goes away and comes back.''
Police warn that the weapon of choice for criminals is handguns. There is debate over how criminals are obtaining the guns, be it through illegal imports or stealing from legitimate owners.
Crime statistics show there were 711 firearms stolen in NSW last year, a 36 per cent rise on 2009, with the biggest rise being in handguns. There were 77 pistols and 18 revolvers stolen last year, compared with 19 and seven respectively a year earlier.
The National Coalition for Gun Control spokeswoman Samantha Lee said statistics showed there were 42,000 registered semi-automatic handguns in NSW, nearly 10,000 more than six years ago.
With that spike in ownership had come an increase in their use by criminals, she said.
Police Minister Mike Gallacher said that, while stolen handguns were a concern, the number stolen each year was ''far smaller'' than the numbers seized by police.
The police strike force with the job of stopping gun crime had seized 80 guns since February 1, he said.

Cb-TRAM: Tracking and monitoring severe convection from onset over rapid development to mature phase using multi-channel Meteosat-8 SEVIRI data

Cb-TRAM is a new fully automated tracking and nowcasting algorithm. Intense convective cells are detected, tracked and discriminated with respect to onset, rapid development, and mature phase. The detection is based on Meteosat-8 SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infra-Red Imager) data from the broad band high resolution visible, infra-red 6.2 µm (water vapour), and the infra-red 10.8 µm channels. In addition, tropopause temperature data from ECMWF operational model analyses is utilised as an adaptive detection criterion. The tracking is based on geographical overlap between current detections and first guess patterns of cells predicted from preceeding time steps. The first guess patterns as well as short range forecast extrapolations are obtained with the aid of a new image matching algorithm providing complete fields of approximate differential cloud motion. Based on these motion vector fields interpolation and extrapolation of satellite data are obtained which allow to generate synthetic intermediate data fields between two known fields as well as nowcasts of motion and development of detected areas. Examples of the application of Cb-TRAM and a comparison to precipitation radar and lightning data as independent data sources demonstrate the capabilities of the new technique.

Bill used to push down privatization efforts
By Stacy Brown | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board said it has 150 million reasons why privatization talks should stop.
Joe Conti, CEO of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, or PLCB, referred to an estimated $150 million in profits that would go into the state's coffers annually under a bill sponsored by state Sen. Jim Ferlo, D-Pittsburgh.
"We want to be able to increase our revenue and return it to the General Assembly," Conti told the state Senate Appropriations Committee during a hearing Thursday.
The board's proposal is outlined in Senate Bill 1287, which is in the Senate Law and Justice Committee.
"Given the commonwealth's current fiscal challenges, this proposal should be given careful consideration," Conti said.
The bill estimates that PLCB would generate $70 million a year in new state revenue on top of the $80 million it will give the state this year, money that could be used to stall some of Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed budget cuts, Conti said.
Additionally, PLCB made a cash transfer of $105 million to the state's general fund last year, and transferred more than $391 million in tax revenue last year.
PLCB will transfer $80 million this year, but the general fund could see an almost 100 percent increase under the board's proposal.
The bill also would allow PLCB to operate like a modern, wholesale and retail business and deliver a greater return for all Pennsylvania taxpayers, he said. PLCB recently launched app for iPhone users. A similar app for Android users is launching soon, he said.
Highlights of the proposal with anticipated annual revenue include:
- Providing the board the authority to adjust its markup on specific products: $25 million;
- Allowing the board to charge manufactures a fee to store inventory at a warehouse operated by someone under state contract: $12 million;
- Assessing a $700 administrative fee for all license renewal and validation applications: $14 million;
- Increasing fines on those who are found to have violated the state Liquor Code: $2 million;
- Allowing lottery tickets to be sold at state wine and spirit stores: $8 million;
- Expanding Sunday hours from noon to 5 p.m. to noon to 9 p.m. and allow up to 50 additional stores to open on Sundays: $10 million.
For some, expanding Sunday hours and opening more wine and spirit stores is almost blasphemous.
"Sunday is a sacred day made by God," said the Rev. Earl Watkins of Grace Baptist Church in Scranton. "It's a day of rest, a day God has declared holy and a day that one should not have the option of partaking in joy juice."
The PLCB's proposal is the latest example of why state involvement in alcohol is a conflict of interest, said Michael Geer, president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, a socially conservative organization.
"On the one hand, the PLCB is supposed to enforce laws related to alcohol and, on the other hand, they are looking to find more ways to sell it to more people. Add the lottery and that's encouraging people to drink and gamble. They shouldn't do it," Geer said.
Proponents of the board's proposal said tough economic times are a cause for such action.
"This is just plain old common sense and now is the time for lawmakers to support modernizing this valuable public asset," said Wendell Young, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776, which represents 24,000 workers including clerks in state wine and spirit stores.
"It makes a lot more sense to generate $75 million more each year in revenue than it does to cut higher education, basic education and the safety net for vulnerable Pennsylvanians," Young added.
Young said PLCB already provides the commonwealth with more than $500 million a year in revenue — after paying all expenses for the agency's operation — and employs more than 5,000 Pennsylvanians.
While state House lawmakers have wrestled with legislation to privatize Pennsylvania's state-owned liquor stores, but the effort appears to have slowed since last year.
Unlike in 2011, Corbett made no mention of the privatization effort in his budget address last week, though he has a commission working on privatizing some elements of state government, including, possibly, the liquor store system.
A study commissioned by the Corbett administration last summer found the sale of the liquor stores could net the state a one-time $1.6 billion windfall.
And previous attempts by the PLCB to modernize have not always been successful. The board admitted that it lost $1.5 million between 2009 and 2011 on the ill-fated wine vending machines before pulling the plug on the program last August.
Thursday, state senators said they are focused on making the existing system more competitive.
"We've taken a wait-and-see approach. If they pass something out of the House, we'll address it," said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jake Corman, R-Centre, of the privatization plan. "Since it's been a year and it hasn't gotten through the House, people are just going on the assumption that it's not going to happen until it does."
Ferlo said privatization is mostly pushed by the media, particularly newspapers who want the advertising dollars that could come from a private industry.
"When the state is getting this much money in the general fund, it would make no sense to privatize it and take that money away," Ferlo said. "Privatization is media driven for ad dollars."
Privatization, however, is still on the table, said Senate Law and Justice Committee Chairman John Pippy, R-Allegheny.
"We have a parallel responsibility to make sure the system works better, said Pippy, whose panel has legislative oversight of PLCB.

The term "agile" in the context of software development is no longer an alien word, with many companies professing to do, think or indeed be agile. While on the surface this is great for the software industry, it can bring problems as there is no single definition of agile or definitive process that everyone follows. Carrying out projects and transitioning to agile can therefore end in disaster if perceptions and expectations differ. This is where training, communication and motivation are so important in the successful adoption of agile processes.
In order to better understand issues associated with transitioning to agile, we can break people down into three general groups - the "know-it-alls", the "non-believers" and the "non-committals".
The "know-it-alls"
One of the biggest challenges when undertaking a project using agile methods is getting all parties to think in a consistent way and have the same understanding of the process. In Valtech's experience with its clients, those involved usually have a pre-conceived idea about agile but it isn't necessarily the same as their colleagues, which can be detrimental to a project.
This goes for both the customer and partner delivering the project. It is vital that everyone is "singing from the same hymn sheet" from the outset. The first stage of any agile roll-out must, therefore, be training. The challenge here is to get as many people involved as possible - from project owners, architects and testers, through to end-users - to ensure that everyone knows how the particular project will run.
{sidebar id=1}A recent Valtech project with a firm in the travel industry illustrates the point. During the initial training phase of a project, the software architect wasn't present and his understanding of agile terminology differed slightly from the rest of the team which caused problems further down the line. Although the words used were often the same - both parties talked in terms of iterations - each understood the same word to have different meanings. Valtech uses the word "iteration" to describe short bursts of activity lasting between one and two weeks which result in a working software feature. The client, by contrast, assumed that "iteration" meant a completely new version of an application - something that would take far longer than a single week to develop.
The "non-believers"
As well as having pre-conceived ideas, a lack of understanding or an unwillingness to take part is also a hurdle which many agile projects face in the early phases. For many, waterfall methods are the de facto way of running software development projects as "that's the way it's always been done". Agile methodology, however, can be considered a series of mini waterfall developments, with significant emphasis on early and constant customer feedback. Where it can be more difficult to convert the non-believers is when it comes to the level of buy-in and commitment that agile methodology calls for and the lack of detailed spec and scope at the start of the project.
Traditional software designers typically want to work to a fixed price and have the spec up front. Vielife, a company we worked with recently, had already spent a large amount of money on detailed requirements and design before coming to us for help with the project. In fact, the managing director was adamant that there was no room for manoeuvre in his original requirements.
Yet, within a month of using agile methodologies, the budget was cut by 10 per cent by convincing him to cut down the specification that had been produced beforehand. We tackled it in the same way that you would if you were buying a new car on a limited budget: you might like the idea of a sunroof, but the reality is that you wouldn't

For example, in the 2010 video 30 Days of Running in Place, Ahmed Basiony exercises in a makeshift spacesuit with sensors that convert his movements and physiology into designs on a screen behind him. It might be the psychological state of the artist translated into a dull graph. But the video is intercut with footage he shot of the Tahrir Square protests that would overturn the Egyptian government. At one such protest, on January 28, 2011, he was killed, apparently by sniper fire. Basiony puts us in the middle of the crowds shouting (in Arabic, subtitled), "People want to remove the regime!" The raw footage crackles with the visceral, subversive thrill of lots of fed up people gathering to speak ill of powerful guys backed by guns.

Addabbo Sets Mobile Day At BC Library
State Senator Joseph Addabbo will hold mobile office hours at the Broad Channel Library, 16-26 Cross Bay Boulevard, in order to meet more of his constituents without scheduled appointments and to hear about the issues that concern them. Residents may come in to talk to the senator on Thursday, July 11 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Said Addabbo, "Many of my constituents might be unable to visit my district offices during the day (between) Monday through Friday. The time I am spending at mobile office hours in the evening around the district gives them an opportunity to see me in their own neighborhoods without making an appointment, so I may personally address their concerns. I will also be speaking about how important library funding is from the city and the state in restoring programs and services to local libraries, like the recently passed NYC Budget that will keep local libraries open at least five days a week.
"And I've worked with my colleagues to restore NYS capital funding for vital building projects like…the Sandy-devastated Rockaway libraries now under reconstruction and to offer temporary libraries at Arverne, Peninsula in Rockaway Beach, and Seaside in Rockaway Park (set to reopen this summer)."
For more details, residents may call Addabbo's district offices in Howard Beach at 718-738-1111; in Middle Village at 718-497-1630; or in Rockaway at 718-318-0702.

Date of Stay: July, 2014
Great spot for a night or two. Friendly hosts. Clean washrooms and showers. Could not get on the wifi but no biggie. We will stay again as it is a good spot when visiting family.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
While it's not my sort of campsite. All in nice neat rows. It is clean and well maintained. Nice small tree separation between sites. Level and long. We would stay again.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
An older park. Some construction work going on putting in a new office area. Running the office out of a travel trailer at the moment. It was dusty during our stay caused by the hot dry weather. A good place for a night or two for sure.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
A little rough around the edges, but it's not a parking lot. The kind of campsite I remember as a kid. Owners and staff are great. Sites are huge and ours was level. Bathrooms are spotless. We really enjoyed it. Oh, and if you are a golfer go play Hyde Mountain. Spectacular. We would like to make this a 3 day spot next year as well.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
First off, not my style of campsite. Everyone parks in rows. That is where the negatives ended. While checking in I mentioned we had a couple of dogs. No questions about breed or anything. The lady at the desk handed me a couple dog biscuits wrapped in paper and tied with a piece of yarn. Turns out the paper was a note from their pets to mine. Thought that was a great touch, also what sold us on the place. Washrooms sparkle, great area for the dogs, and the staff is great. We would stop here again without question.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Nice park right by the river. Many seasonal/fulltimers. Well looked after. Clean washrooms and showers. Playground for the kids. When visiting Alberta, this is a spot we always stop at.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Stayed for one night. I don't think I would stay longer because it's just not my cup of tea. No shade. Sites are long, wide, and level. Did not make it as far as the showers/washrooms. Very good dog area. Good spot for a stop over.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Very friendly couple that look after the campsite. They keep it very clean and well maintained. A great spot for a night or two. Washrooms are clean and tidy.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
It's a 10. Our favorite spot. Not a parking lot, clean, well maintained with the most helpful owners.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
We stayed here about 3yrs ago. It was pretty rough then and were quite excited to be going back. Nothing had changed still rough. The folks that look after the place are helpfully and friendly. The location is nothing short of awesome. I would have rated it much higher if some improvements had been made.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
Shaped like a circle with lawn around the in each site's backyard. The tent sites are grass. 14 full service rv sites and some tent sites It was clean with clean washrooms. Next to the river, has a decent beach area, community type fire pit, horse shoes. Also has a dumpsite and a boat launch. I wouldn't want to stay here long term but it is great for a couple day stop over.

Wolseley, U.K. Housing Stocks Gain on Freddie, Fannie
Wolseley Plc led U.K. housing- related stocks higher in London trading on speculation the U.S. government takeover of lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will shore up the mortgage market and increase the availability of loans.
Wolseley, the world's biggest distributor of plumbing and heating gear, rose 11 percent, while Barratt Developments Plc and Taylor Wimpey Plc had the biggest gains among house builders.
Britain's 19 billion-pound ($33.4 billion) homebuilding industry is suffering as lenders rein in mortgage offers, starving potential homebuyers of funds, after banks and securities firms announced $500 billion of losses and writedowns related to a collapse in the U.S. subprime mortgage market. Yesterday's takeover of Fannie and Freddie, which account for almost half the U.S. home-loan market, makes it more likely European banks will begin to increase lending to buyers, KBC Peel Hunt analyst Robin Hardy said.
``Confidence levels in the U.K. housing sector stocks are likely to improve on this news,'' Hardy said today in a note. Combined with signs the cost of mortgages was beginning to fall over the past two weeks, ``the U.K. mortgage market is beginning to look a little less sick,'' Hardy said. ``The level of mortgage issuance in the U.K. could take a first faltering step towards recovery.''
Stocks gained in the U.S., Europe and Asia after U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said yesterday the government will provide short-term funding to the two biggest U.S. mortgage finance companies and purchase debt backed by home loans. The biggest surge in mortgage defaults in at least three decades had threatened to bring both lenders down.
Estimates Raised
Wolseley advanced 47 pence to close at 485 pence. Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc analysts including London-based John Messenger raised their share price estimate on Wolseley to 298 pence from 263 pence in a note to clients today.
Taylor Wimpey, the U.K.'s biggest homebuilder, rose 11 percent, and Barratt, the No. 2, climbed 13 percent. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analysts including Eshan Toorabally raised their price estimates for European construction companies, including U.K. homebuilders, in a note to clients today to reflect the increased likelihood of mergers and acquisitions in the industry.
Other housing-related stocks gained. Irish suppliers of building materials CRH Plc rose 9.8 percent and Grafton Group Plc 5.7 percent. CRH, the world's second-biggest maker and distributor of construction materials, and Wolseley both get about half of their sales from North America.
Commercial Property
U.K. commercial property stocks also rose, with the FTSE 350 Real Estate Index advancing 4.7 percent. Leading the gains was Mapeley Ltd. and Quintain Estates & Development Plc. Among other real estate stock gains, Land Securities Group Plc, British Land Co. Plc and Liberty International Plc benefited.
U.K. mortgage approvals dropped to the lowest since at least 1999 in July, the Bank of England said last week, while house prices dropped 12.7 percent in August from a year earlier, the most since at least 1983, HBOS Plc said.

Why did you launch an autism awareness campaign in 2000?
My wife and I were struggling as parents of an autistic child, so we decided to lobby for a 10-year plan to improve the government's services for people with autism and their families.
What do you hope will be achieved by the UK Autism Foundation you set up in 2008?
To build a state-of-the-art autism centre in London, to have more autism schools, and to help the poorer section of the community who are dealing with autism
How does your charity differ from the national Autistic Society?
We place more of an emphasis on helping poorer families struggling to cope. We are appealing to the government to help these vulnerable people who are below the poverty line and stop their homes being repossessed. There are cases of families being thrown out onto the streets.
What was Sunday's autism service about?
We remembered people all over the world who suffer from autism and Asperger's disorder. The service was at All Saints church in north London, and was supported by world leaders such as Pastor Rick Warren and Pope Benedict XVI.
What more could the government do to help autism sufferers and their families?
It can bail out banks, so why can't it help families who are extremely vulnerable and who are trying to cope with disabilities?
Do you think there is a lack of sensitivity towards people with autism ?
Society is still intolerant. People with autism are marginalised and excluded. The government and society as a whole need to be more tolerant of vulnerable people and families trying to cope with autism.
Are there many people from ethnic minorities who are autism campaigners?
We were one of the first, but there are more than 15,000 families from ethnic minorities in London alone dealing with autism. People from these communities have started lobbying more in recent years.
What have you achieved?
We have raised awareness and the profile of autism. Our local MP, Lee Scott, is the patron for the UK Autism Foundation and has championed our autism bill.
Name a president for Britain?
I would hope someone from the autism or Asperger's community.

We discovered our high yesterday in a little town called Les-Baux-de-Provence. We were privileged to witness the greatest artistic experience of our lives. It is an ongoing exhibition called Carrieres de Lumieres.
Carrieres de Lumieres is a light show, accompanied by music. But this is no simple undertaking, there are a number of factors that make this the single most fascinating and moving experience.
Firstly, the space itself. Carrieres de Lumieres is an old limestone quarry owned by the local municipality of Les-Baux-de-Provence and good on the council for holding onto this little gem and not selling it off
I digress... this limestone quarry, forms the grand halls onto which the images are projected. In some parts, the walls of the quarry are 50 metres high, but as you would expect with a quarry, there are uneven surfaces. These create walls, rooms, vestibules and each become part of the projected palette. Because it is a quarry, and therefore dug into the earth, it is cold when you enter (they sell blankets at the door for 5 euro and even with my delightful Burberry jacket I was chilled). When you visit - get a blankie!
Secondly the images. There were two major exhibitions we saw, one on Klimt and Vienna and the other on utopian societies (Les villes invisibles). The images used are projected using technology that is better quality than HD (high definition). It is simply amazing to watch as the clearest and sharpest images appear before your eyes. Imagine the vibrancy of Klimt's golds, The Kiss literally makes you cry. And as for Adele Bloch Bauer, woo hoo get ready to swoon. Imagine her, 50 metres tall, gazing down with all the beauty in the world. Transplendent in the truest sense, rich, colourful and sumptuous.
The Klimt exhibition also has images of his contemporaries - works from the amazing Egon Schiele, timeless apparitions. You stand in a cathedral - feeling what can only be described as a fervent religious experience. Each vignette commences in the dark. You are in sensory isolation, floating in a cold nothingness
The Invisible Villages exhibition commences, again in darkness. After the tidal wave of colour, light and music your senses return to quietness and you have time to return to your self. Time to reflect until slowly, as though from the earth itself, tendrils of leaves start to grow around the walls. They climb the 50 metre heights, weaving around the space, overhead and underfoot, curling delightfully. Like time motion photography on acid, golden and green. This sequence moves into a series of utopian societies, little roads appear around you, corners with brightly coloured houses, clocks tick backwards, waves of water crash in, underwater cities emerge.
Some of the vignettess completely embrace you, ceiling, walls and floors all become part of the virtual canvas. You become one with the art. Dancing, watching, crying, experiencing. It is emotionally overwhelming and inspiring at the same time.
I stood transfixed and weeping for several minutes, watching as people quietly and reverentially floated by
We've seen a bit of art in our day in a lot of places. But this is truly the most artistic and creative experience of art we have been part of.
Get on line, get on a plane. Get there. It Will Be Worth It.

State of Origin Game 1
NSW vs QLD
Date: 05 Jun 2013, 8:00 PM
Venue: ANZ Stadium
The opening game of the 2013 State of Origin series kicks off tomorrow night at Stadium Australia in Homebush, with the New South Wales Blues facing off against the Queensland Maroons.
The Maroons are riding an historic seven-year winning streak, with the Blues desperate to turn the tide against a rampaging and ruthless Queensland outfit that has no intention of easing up anytime soon.
Does NSW have enough creativity?
NSW have selected an impressive pack and a potent backline. I expect the Blues forwards to supply plenty of go-forward, while there are plenty of points in Jennings, Morris, Ferguson, Morris and Hayne.
That inevitably puts a lot of pressure on the Blues halves, because everything else is in place for NSW.
Mitchell Pearce and James Maloney are the keys for NSW. It's that simple.
Pearce is a much-maligned selection at number 7. Going into his 10th Origin match, he's yet to stamp his class at this level of football. His biggest issues have been in attack, where he has lacked dynamism and creativity with the ball, and his tactical kicking has also been poor.
James Maloney has been selected outside him at five-eight, and coach Laurie Daley revealed that part of his selection was because he has calming effect on Pearce.
Maloney is a cheeky little five-eight, and whilst he may lack Todd Carney's creativity and x-factor, he nonetheless knows how to get his outside backs some quality ball, and considering the talent in the backline, that's all he – and Pearce – should concentrate on doing.
It's worth noting that Robbie Farah's attacking skills from dummy-half will also be heavily utilised, and that Josh Reynolds will be sitting on the bench, itching to get into the action.
All the Blues playmakers just need to keep it simple: kick to open space, take the right option on the fifth tackle, and utilise the speed and size of their backline.
They also shouldn't be afraid to take on the line: creativity isn't always 'sleight of hand' with the ball or flashy tricks; it can simply be a case of keeping the defense guessing on what option you're going to take
Are the Maroons in-form?
During Queensland's seven-year dominance, I believe last series was the worst I've seen the Maroons play. In many respects, the fact they still won may make it their most impressive victory; they really had to fight for it.
Looking at the squad the Maroon's have picked – which contained no real surprises – Greg Inglis is the only player I can nominate as being in truly brilliant form.
That, combined with last year's series, raises the question, are Queensland in-form?
The easy answer is that, no, they are not in the best form of their respective individual careers, and one might therefore deduce that the time is ripe for a NSW victory to be snatched.
However, the complex answer, and the more prudent one, is that it doesn't matter.
Form is often irrelevant at Origin level. Time and time again we've seen players picked who were not setting the world on fire at club level, whom then produce scintillating efforts for their state team.
I'm therefore inclined to take very little notice of Origin performances from 12 months ago, nor the club form of the selected Queensland players. Once they pull on that maroon jersey, they'll be ready to rumble.

While trying to convince my wife to join the rest of the family in watching the latest episode of Disney Channel's Gravity Falls, I was asked to describe the show. I went on to tell of an animated series that combines the warm family element of Phineas and Ferb and outlandish characterization of Adventure Time with the snowballing conspiracies of the X-Files and Twin Peaks' patently surreal setting. In short: a pair of quirky but supportive siblings head to an isolated town to spend the summer with their great uncle, and mystery ensues.
That served to get her attention. Just as it had captured mine.
There comes a time in every dad's life when he must admit that he's a slave to nostalgia. But the first step is, of course, simply admitting you have a problem. After that point you learn to meter your you-kids-today-have-it-so-easys and your back-in-my-days. If you're really lucky you can also eliminate the bulk of your they-don't-make-'em-like-they-used-tos.
The truth is, on many levels, they make them better than they used to. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the realm of children's entertainment — specifically cartoons.
Gravity Falls represents many things; it's a visual triumph powered by witty writing and a stellar voice cast, but it's also a continuation of Disney Television Animation's epic legacy. From The Gummi Bears to Darkwing Duck to Gargoyles, these properties blended varying amounts of adventure and humor, but their greatest asset was an unwavering level of quality. The continuing saga of Dipper, Mabel, Grunkle Stan and their extended cast of eccentric Oregonians is all this and more. Aided by the literal decades of advancements in animation technology since that television "Golden Age," the show boasts both a new-school focus on plot and characterization and Disney's historic attention to detail.
The end result? Easily one of the strongest, smartest, geekiest cartoons of all time.
