At least half a dozen Southern California youth sports teams are saying "game over" to a Long Beach-based business they claim scammed teams out of thousands of dollars for uniforms they never received.
The Lancaster Eastside Lions have filed a small claims lawsuit - with tentative plans for more legal action in collaboration with other teams - against George Chuck Josephs of C&G Custom Sports Apparel and Corsair, manufacturers of custom team sportswear.
Lions president Robert Lopez said his team was approached in April by Josephs who promised custom-designed jerseys at a great price.
Several deposits and missed deadlines later - the Lions were forced to reschedule their first football game of the season - Lopez was out $7,000 for incomplete jerseys.
"With everyone encouraging people to keep business local, I thought I was doing a good thing by spending the money here in Southern California," said Lopez, who had purchased team jerseys from a company in Pakistan for the last four years.
But Lopez didn't know that trying to save a few dollars would turn into a major hassle that would put the Lions in the red.
After taking the unfinished jerseys to another shop to get logos and names affixed, Lions treasurer Caroline Roth said the team spent more than $16,000.
"We're devastated. We have no idea how we're going to pay for everything during the rest of the season," Roth said, adding that currently there is no money in the budget for the team's year-end banquet and trophies.
Lopez said the ordeal even had some parents questioning whether he pocketed the $7,000.
"They thought I was in cahoots with this guy," he said. "It really caused stress on me, on my family and on the organization."
Lopez wasn't the only one duped.
Teams in Palmdale, Victorville, Adelanto and others have come forward with similar complaints.
Steve Halpin, outgoing president for the Chino Hills Junior All-American Bulldogs Football and Cheer, said Josephs told him in March that he was going into business with youth leagues to bolster business after weathering the tough economy.
"He came to us and said he could do wonderful stuff," Halpin said of his first meeting with Josephs. "At the time, everything seemed legit."
The Bulldogs ended up losing $27,200 to Josephs for an order of 800 jerseys that was never fulfilled, Halpin said.
What the Bulldogs got instead were 383 plain white jerseys - that have turned a pinkish color after being washed - and 372 black jerseys that were in the wrong size, didn't have numbers and/or had misspelled names.
"I had to camp out to catch him and get my jerseys," Halpin said of his Sept. 21 visit to Josephs' Long Beach business, "and they didn't even come out right."
According to a Better Business Bureau business review, 14 complaints have been filed against Josephs since 2010, including one by the Fullerton College Baseball team. All complaints included teams placing orders with Josephs and not receiving complete orders after paying thousands of dollars in deposits.
The C&G Custom Sports Apparel and Corsair office - anchored in a back alley in an industrial sector of Long Beach - was locked Friday and no one appeared to be at the location.
There was no sign listing the company name on the main thoroughfare of the 3200 block of 29th Street, next to the southbound San Diego (405) Freeway. The mailbox at the corner of the alley also didn't list the company name, and the office was bare of any signage or identifying information.
A business owner in the area said several clients had been at the office recently attempting to contact Josephs to have their payments reimbursed, but the shop was closed when they arrived.
Attempts to contact Josephs at the gated apartment complex in Paramount that is listed as his residence were unsuccessful Friday.
The Daily News also made multiple calls to Josephs' Paramount home and Long Beach business numbers but was not able to leave a message. Josephs did not reply to an email for comment.
Team officials who dealt with Josephs said that working with him on jersey designs was great until deposits were made.
"Once he got the money," Lopez said, "he turned into somebody else."
Adelanto Saints president Ke'ron Jones said daily conversations via the phone or email ceased once money was transferred to Josephs, and once-easy inquiries took dogged persistence and multiple visits to Long Beach to get a response.
Then when the team demanded a refund of its $2,000 deposit for the incomplete work, Jones said "it was an excuse, after excuse, after excuse."
"If we were an adult league or a high school, no big deal, because they have several means of funding," Jones said. "But we're dealing with kids age 6 to 14 - so he took out of their pockets. I'm just thankful I have parents that were understanding."
Many teams said they didn't bother to call the police about Josephs, but Roth said she did call the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lancaster Station to try and file a complaint. Police told her there was little they could do unless there was proof Josephs set out to intentionally defraud the team.
"They're complaining about the business he does, and that's not a criminal matter. Even missing his deadline - regardless of how many times he did that - that's not a criminal matter," said sheriff's Lt. Keith Lieberman.
But Lieberman added, as a parent involved in a youth football program himself, he understands the team officials' frustrations.
"Bottom line is to make sure, just like with any business deal, that you research who you're dealing with before any money is exchanged," he said. "If it sounds too good to be true, it may be just that. There are a lot of shady characters out there, so you need to be diligent."
Lopez said he is reaching out to other Southern California youth sports leagues to possibly file a class-action lawsuit against Josephs.
"I'm not going to let this go," Lopez said. "If it was just done to me, fine. But to my kids? No. I'm not going to let this go."

The ag markets, including corn, fell in reaction to demand concerns Thursday. That is, talk that the Fed will slow its buying of U.S. financial instruments depressed the equity markets and boosted the U.S. dollar. Conversely, the latest Chinese data suggests disappointing economic weakness in that country. All these developments seem negative for commodity demand. Thus, corn futures were weak, with moderated talk of hot, dry weather looming in late June and early July also undercutting recent gains. July corn dropped 9.0 cents to $6.73/bushel at the Thursday close, while December tumbled 10.0 cents to $5.605.
Despite ongoing weather concerns, the soy complex also reacted badly to the financial markets. With the latest forecasts seeming less threatening than those seen Wednesday, concerns about a reduced 2013 crop are less keen. Moreover, the soybean, oil and meal markets are also quite susceptible to diminished demand if future economic conditions, especially those in China, prove less favorable. July soybean futures dove 25.5 cents to $14.975/bushel as pit trading ended Thursday, while July soyoil plunged 0.95 cents to 48.40 cents/pound, and July soymeal sank $8.0 to $445.6/ton.
Wheat futures also suffered amidst the wide commodity breakdown posted Thursday. Ultimately, broader demand issues can undercut markets badly. However, the golden grain markets held up surprisingly well in the face of the general decline. The midsession firmness at least partially reflected renewed concerns about the U.S. winter wheat crop, as well as the limited size of potential spring wheat production in the absence of favorable summer weather. Bulls also cited persistent hopes for short-term Chinese buying. July CBOT wheat closed 6.5 cents lower at $7.005/bushel Thursday afternoon, while July KCBT wheat dipped 2.75 cents to $7.37, and July MGE futures inched up 0.5 cent to $8.14.
Slumping financial markets also weighed upon cattle futures Thursday. As with so many commodities, the potential combination of U.S. dollar strength and reduced economic growth in the U.S. and overseas typically translates into diminished demand on both the domestic and international fronts. When combined with the seasonal weakness experienced lately, it was hardly surprising to see cattle futures suffer as well. August cattle settled 0.40 cents lower at 120.00 cents/pound Thursday afternoon, while December skidded 0.35 cents to 125.92. August feeder cattle futures tumbled 0.22 cents to 144.42 cents/pound and November slumped 0.20 to 150.15.
Hog futures held up rather well to the broad commodity drop experienced Thursday. That is, extreme seasonal strength in both the cash and wholesale sectors, as well as considerable upward momentum in Chicago prices, boosted the CME swine contracts Thursday. Talk of the damage being done by PEDV disease may also have supported swine values despite the financial market decline. July hog futures rose 0.27 cents to 100.25 at their Thursday settlement, while December slid 0.15 cents to 82.25.

The Muscle Brake was designed to be extremely shooter friendly. With the first port being 90 degrees it shears the back blast off from the angled ports, to prevent the "blast/concussion" effect from distracting the shooter. These brake are made of 416SS, and hardened to 30 Rockwell. Benefits to the Muscle brake are increased recoil reduction, no back blast to the shooter as compared to typical angle port and radial port brakes, and the brake to barrel joint can be tapered and blended for a seamless appearance.

CD Baby Lowers Digital Sales Commission from 25% to 9% the Lowest Rate of Any Digital Music Retailer(January 23, 2013)
Portland, OR (PRWEB) January 23, 2013
CD Babys online retail store sells thousands of downloads every day, and the resulting revenue bypasses the major-label system and gets paid directly to artists. CD Baby has decided to further empower independent musicians by reducing their admin fee from 25% to 9% lower than any other digital music retailer, including iTunes, Amazon, BandCamp, Reverb Nation, and others.
Our mission has always been to help musicians earn the most money from their music, says CD Baby president Brian Felsen. Towards that end, Im excited to announce that well be lowering the admin fee we take of MP3 sales on cdbaby.com to just 9% which matches our traditional digital distribution commission.
CD Babys admin fee for digital sales through its retail partners (including Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Rdio, and many others) has been at 9% since 2004. Now all CD Baby digital sales are subject to this same low commission percentage, whether the music was purchased directly from cdbaby.com or from one of CD Babys digital music partners.
The new 9% rate also holds true for digital sales through any of CD Babys Direct-to-Fan sales tools, including the 45,000+ CD Baby MusicStore For Facebook Apps installed by artists, as well as the thousands of Music Store Widgets that allow CD Baby artists to sell music on their own websites.
Traditional digital music retailers pay artists up to 70% per sale; other direct-to-fan options pay 85% or less. With CD Baby, musicians will earn 91% of every digital sale, with no annual fees and no hidden costs.
The 9% is effective immediately," says Felsen. Its simple: Artists make more money when they sell music through CD Baby. We are the best place for artists to get their music to a worldwide market. With CD Baby, bands can give fans one convenient place to purchase CDs, vinyl, and MP3s and earn the most money doing it!
CD Baby is the largest digital distributor of independent music in the world. CD Baby distributes over 4 million tracks to dozens of music retailers including iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Rhapsody, and Spotify, and pays artists weekly for their product sales. From their Portland, OR headquarters, CD Baby warehouses and ships over 360,000 independent CD titles to a customer base that spans the entire globe. The company also offers other services to musicians such as the ability to accept credit cards at shows, web hosting through their sister company HostBaby, and eBook distribution through BookBaby.

I found How to Grill at a book sale at the local Safeway market, and fell in love immediately. I found out rather rapidly just how little I knew about grilling, but I am becoming a real Grill Master thanks to the Grillmaster General, Steve. I also just bought a Santa Fe grill, made by Char-Broil, at Home Depot, and between it and Steve's book, I am cooking up a real storm. Both purchases have to rate as the best I have ever made.
I would like to find out about something Steve mentioned in his book that has me very interested. He said he got to go to Europe and study medieval cooking. Being a member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism,) I am trying to find all I can about 'period' cookery. Anyone having any info on medieval cooking, please drop me an email at email@example.com.

Paulman - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkNokia 105 for 15 euros and you can potentially get by with charging it once a month?! WHAAAAT? I would like to see the specs / features on that thing :) That's almost exactly $20 USD Reply
ilihijan - Sunday, March 03, 2013 - linkI just got paid $6784 working on my laptop using these simple steps leaked on this web page. Make up to $85 per hour doing simple tasks that are so easy to do that you won't forgive yourself if you don't check it out! Weekly payments! Here is what I've been doing Epic2.c(om) Reply
Fx1 - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkSeriously Nokia when will you WAKE UP and see Windows Phone is going nowhere. Make an Android phone for gods sake. Nokia hardware + Android = win Reply
CaedenV - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkWhy would they diversify more? We are talking about a company who has taken a serious beating the last few years and is essentially starting over from scratch. Here in the US they simply cannot make enough phones fast enough to keep the popular colors in stock on the L920, and the phone has been out a while now. If they were to diversify their manufacturing even further (because Nokia makes all of their own mid to high end phones, and only contracts out their lower end devices) then you would simply never be able to find their phones anywhere.
Besides, they are doing just fine with WP8 now that consumers are not afraid of being left behind (like they were with the WP7 offerings). And almost everyone makes the full range of Android phones, why fight in an over saturated market when the WP market is essentially wide open? Reply
Exodite - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkThe problem here isn't the US market, it's the rest of the world.
Elop's Nokia effectively traded their worldwide presence for entry into the one market where where they traditionally weren't important - the US.
As for manufacturing it's no longer in-house.
Like their R&D and pretty much the majority of the company it's been shut down and tasked to Asian companies.
I agree about one thing though, Android can't offer Nokia what they need at this point. It's too late for that. Reply
sviola - Tuesday, February 26, 2013 - linkAccording to Kantar WorldPanel, in the UK, WP8 has jumped from 2.4% marketshare to 6%. Also, seems that 1 in every new WP8 buyer has jumped ship from Android.
From other sources:
In Germany, windows phone went from %2.4 in December 2012 to %5.1 in January 2013
In Italy %14
France %5.7
In Russia %6
In U.S, from last month , Windows Phone is now %3.2 from around %2.6
Contrary to what you stated, it seems to me that WP8 is getting momentum outside the US. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, February 26, 2013 - linkYes it's not wining the US market and that's a vital flaw to the business change of Nokia. It's self evident and pretty straight forward why it doesn't win there. It's too much competition from iOS, Android, and Blackberry, and previously even webos. (BB10 won't take the same market share in EU as in US and Canada). Other markets can handle a platitude of platforms much better, US can't really support 4-5 platforms and the MS strategy of aggressively push out others and become the third largest fails and by that it also fails to gain even the same market share the largely unnoticed Symbian devices had, even in the US. Reply
sviola - Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - linkWell, even in the US it has had gains in the order of 25% (from 2.6 to 3.2%) in its market share, if they keep this pace every quarter, they will reach 10% of the market share in the US in a year. I think the US market is big enough to accomodate 4-5 plataforms. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, February 26, 2013 - linkWhat hardware? They have pretty much closed down their own manufacturing and development facilities that's why they can't even if the customers wants it deliver anything on Symbian and MeeGo now as the facilities finishing those products doesn't exist anymore, not because they decided to scrap those products. Their plants in Europe is closed. It's all ODM-products which they can't really develop and test themselves any more. It's simply moving to contract manufacturing and at the same time fired all the software and hardware developers.
Despite having most of their previously 60k employees in manufacturing related jobs. They have exited the market almost altogether as anything else then Microsoft's brand of ODM Windows Phone devices. They will need fewer employees then Blackberry/RIM to survive on Windows Phone, and going S40 and trying to pass it off as a smartphone was the wrong way to go that was only forced because of Elops direction of not allowing new Symbian/MeeGo devices. The new Nokia should gain no favors from the old and they shouldn't even be allowed to use their brand name for the money Microsoft put in it. Nokia should just be a holding company for Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) telco/network equipment business as they have handled and dismantled all the rest without trying to get any money of their old plants/business. Just spin it out and be done with it and then you can downsize and turn it into nothing however you like. Doing a Motorola type downsizing isn't inspiring.
It's a management culture that was foreign to a Scandinavian company with profits and growing sales up to the quarter after Elop. Blackberry 10 is now using Qt (previously owned and developed by Nokia) and a POSIXs compliant platform so it's the successor in spirit and technology to MeeGo and webOS any way. Let's see if the Finish neighbors can do anything with Jolla too though. Going Android would have been the wrong way, they can't survive as a has been with contract manufactured Android phones either and have competition from other has beens and semi large firms, but delivering on running a Android compatibility layer on top of their own OS/APIs/platform would have been a smart thing to do, but as said BB10 delivered on that. Plus is set to be the third largest platform. The Qt Mobility framework could have been and was a much larger platform then WP will ever be even if your extremely positive of it's outlook. BB10 delivers on apps before the platform is even out so it's not like you have to do it the Microsoft way. Reply
Notmyusualid - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkActually I think you are wrong.
I bought my gf a Nokia 820 (920 too big for her), and despite being an Android user myself, I can honestly say the beauty of the device is how intuitive the user interface was to a new user of Windows Phone 8.
I did not feel this from Android, and defiantly not from an Apple device.
It works smoothly, and fast.
And I shall buy one for myself.
Now, how to hack out that dam Facebook and Twitter that are hard-coded in? Why, oh why would they do that to us.... Reply
karasaj - Tuesday, February 26, 2013 - linkLike the guy above said. WP8 is actually doing much better in Europe than it is in the US. It's getting some serious market share in places like Italy, and a lot of businesses are starting to like the platform (nokia specifically).
If you're going to say windows phone is going nowhere, try and back it up, because it certainly isn't true. Plenty of studies are showing decent gains for the platform, and huge growth relative to itself. Things are only going up, and you have to start somewhere.
I wonder if people complained about the iPhone not using a blackberry OS or something similar at the time. Reply
CaedenV - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkI was sure that Nokia was going to at least announce the next gen super phone. Some sort of Lumia 1020 with a quad core, 2GB of ram, and SD card support.
Also, weren't we expecting the new EOS lineup with the big full Pureview cameras? Maybe they will have a follow-up announcement?
All that said, I am stoked they are finally making a wireless charging car holder! I love my 920, but GPS can kill the battery faster than anything (except Skype). So while I like the navigation on my phone better than my ancient Garmin, I still use the Garmin simply because I want to be able to use my phone once I get to my destination.
It simply amazes me at just how many devices modern smartphones replace. My Lumia 920 has replaced my personal netbook, my work laptop, watch, old cell phone, home phone, Kindle, MP3 Player, DS, still camera, video camera, GPS, and eventually my wallet (minus my ID and a bit of cash). For me that is replacing 11 devices, each of which have their own chargers and accessories to deal with, and does not include my wife's stuff that has been replaced by her smartphone. Going from a literal sea of portable devices in my house down to essentially 2 PCs and 2 smart phones is quite a liberating experience, and while the phone itself is a bit expensive, it ends up being a whole lot cheaper to have a single do-everything device rather than buying a ton of moderately priced single-purpose devices. The obvious problem being if my one device breaks then I am up a creek, but so far the L920 seems pretty bullet proof, and there will soon be some cheap replacements to get me by between when I would break it and when my contract would renew for the 'next big thing'. Reply
pandemonium - Tuesday, February 26, 2013 - linkI was highly anticipating the EOS announcement and didn't get it. I guess they're going to hold us in suspense until later. Oh well, I can wait. Reply

fteoath64 - Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - linkThe majority of phone buyers do not care about the OS. Only if it is Apple or not. Mostly not as cost has been a big factor and so is availability of handsets in general with reasonable prices to the average buyer. This is where Android and the "rest" being WP and now BB10 becomes a big part of the volume. Since Android mostly comes in black colour or just plain white, the choices of different funky colours goes to WP (I was laughing before) but it actually works in the market in reality. Android buyers are faced with huge choice complexities and price points that make choosing difficult. WP can make this easier and typically (if sales assistant is around) will get the sale.
Of course, high-end smartphone buyers are different from the mid-range average buyer. So targetting the market segment has been Nokia's strength for a long time. It is good to see them coming back to this mid-range and low-end market where they played before with huge volumes where the turnaround was fast and those phone hardly last a full 12 months .... Reply

Once again, today two bodies (tourists) were recovered at Playa Linda, near Matapalo. These two persons drowned. Instead of have to wait until these bodies appear, we should have our own Coast Guard Dive Team that can respond to these types of emergencies and start rescue or recovery operations immediately. While there are no guarantees that we will recover these bodies immediately we should show the families that we care and that we at least try to find them instead of waiting for these bodies to show up somewhere. We are glad to inform you that the local Coast Guard Station has already purchased the bulk of the basic equipment and are arranging the advanced training programs. However, they need additional equipment in order to comply with recognized training requirements essential to the safety of the divers, prior to fielding a complete operational team. Because of the normal budgeting process this will take this to next year but the services of this team are needed now as was evidenced by the recent drownings.
The following message was sent recently to some of our areas Movers and Shakers Advisory Council:
"The Security Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism is looking for financial support to assist the National Coast Guard Academy of Costa Rica which is headquartered in Quepos with the formation of a specialized Rescue/Recovery Dive Team which can be called on a moment's notice for water emergencies. This Special Dive Response Team can be especially useful for rescue and recovery operations in high seas. Most of the equipment and training for this Public Safety Course has been secured through some of our programs but we are still missing some critical specialized equipment needed to get started. This equipment includes a Self Rescue Redundant Spare Air system which allows the Rescue Diver to get to the surface in an out-of-air emergency. Also needed are Primary Dive Lights which allows the divers to see under water during rescue operations. Other equipment includes search reels, lift bags, etc. Should you be interested to support our efforts to ensemble the first specialized dive team in Costa Rica, please let us hear from you. Without a doubt this is a very worthwhile and historic project and deserves your attention. We should be proud to be the "Home of the Costa Rican National Coast Guard Academy" and should support the formation of this first Costa Rican First-Response Dive Team as long no other financial resources are available".
Should you want to join me and Capt. Scott Fergusson in these fundraising efforts, please let us hear from you! On behalf of our guests and myself, I have donated $250.00 towards this effort and Lic. Mauricio Lara-Ramos has pledged the same amount. That gives us $500.00 to start this effort with… Any support is appreciated….

(UPDATED COVERAGE, Jan. 21) Canadian officials confirmed that shredded lettuce recalled from foodservice clients — including KFC, Taco Bell, Burger King and Pizza Hut — came from California.
As of Jan. 21, 30 people in three Canadian provinces had been sickened by one strain of E. coli. No deaths have been reported. The illnesses began Dec. 22.
Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman Patricia El-Hinnawy confirmed the agency initiated an investigation, but declined to provide details because it is ongoing.
As of Jan. 17, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency declined to identify who supplied the lettuce, except to say it came from California.
"There are a number of different suppliers and the source of the contamination has not yet been determined," said CFIA spokeswoman Lisa Gauthier.
FreshPoint Toronto, a subsidiary of Sysco Corp., Houston, distributed the lettuce to restaurants, hotels and other foodservice customers. It voluntarily began recalling the lettuce Jan. 10 after the CFIA notified the company the lettuce was the likely cause of the E. coli outbreak.
When additional cases were confirmed, FreshPoint expanded the recall on Jan. 13 to include all lettuce products produced from the same raw material during the same time frame.
FreshPoint Toronto's general manager, Dan Wilson, referred questions about the recall to Sysco Corp.
Charley Wilson, vice president of corporate communications for Sysco, said Jan. 14 that the ongoing investigation limits the company's ability to comment.
"FreshPoint has fully cooperated with and assisted Canadian food inspection authorities in this investigation," Wilson said. "FreshPoint regularly goes to extensive lengths to ensure that consumers receive safe and healthy fresh food products through its suppliers, state-of-the-art processing facilities and distribution centers."
Scott Horsfall, chief executive officer of the Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement, said Jan. 17 the organization is working with U.S. and Canadian investigators.
"The key for us is once the investigation is done, if it shows we need to change or add anything to the agreement, we stand ready to do so," Horsfall said.
Canadian food and health officials reported there is no indication any of the recalled products were distributed to grocery stores, so they did not issue a public health recall alert.
The CFIA website lists 13 Sysco brand foodservice salad products, two products sent to Burger King, one product to Pizza Hut, one for KFC/Taco Bell's parent company YUM! Brands and one product with the FreshPoint Inc. brand. All of those products had use-by dates of Jan. 8 or Jan. 10.
The E. coli cases reported by Canadian agencies span New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario. The CFIA recall details show the lettuce was also distributed to foodservice customers in Quebec, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.
A timeline of the investigation is on the agency's website at: http://tinyurl.com/recall-timeline.
Laboratory analysis has shown that the E. coli cases are linked and an epidemiological assessment by Canadian health officials identified that lettuce distributed to certain restaurants is the likely cause, according to the CFIA.

THE biggest danger facing ticket holders at Saturday's annual Big Day Out was the threat of cool weather wreaking havoc on their choice of clothes.
By mid-afternoon, gusts of wind were blowing across the festival site as fans, most dressed in shorts and skirts, soaked up the entertainment on eight different stages.
Fifty thousand music fans filed through the gates of Flemington Racecourse for the 20th annual Big Day Out - and the Australia Day version had a little bit of something for everyone.
In a packed Green Stage tent Texan guitarist Gary Clark jnr drew huge applause with his mix of southern blues and boogie, while Nashville two-piece Jeff the Brotherhood won new fans with their infectious, stripped-back rock and roll.
Californian power punk band Off! had the crowd jumping before fellow Americans Alabama Shakes played songs from their popular debut album.
Crowds of people streamed into the site from early in the day to catch the first acts, including House Vs Hurricane on the main stage and the Medics, who took the honours at last year's national Indigenous Music Awards.
Main attractions the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and perennial Big Day Out favourites Grinspoon were among the highlights on a day when the festival moved to attract a wider cross section of music fans.
The Melbourne leg of the festival was also notable for the switch to more gourmet-styled food, with Chow Town's diverse culinary style catering to a mix of tastes.
Late in the day there had been few casualties other than a handful of people being treated for minor cuts and bruises, according to organisers.
Police dogs helped officers sniff out 40 people carrying illegal drugs at the festival.
Police say 35 male and five female festival-goers were arrested for drug offences, with ecstasy, amphetamines, cocaine and cannabis among the substances seized.
One man was charged with possession of a drug of dependence and bailed to face court at a later date, while 26 people were referred to a drug-diversion program and 13 were cautioned.
Senior Sergeant Mark Pilkington said twice as many people were nabbed for drugs at this year's festival compared to last year's, and vowed police would continue ''passive alert detection'' dog operations targeting drugs at other festivals.

MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's basketball team (6-7, 0-3 SSC) fell to the Florida Tech Panthers (10-4, 1-3 SSC), 97-62, Saturday afternoon in Sunshine State Conference action from the Clemente Center on the campus of Florida Tech.
The tone for the game was set early as Lions' turnovers and precision Panthers' shooting allowed Florida Tech to build as much as a 25-point first half lead In total, 22 Saint Leo turnovers led to 32 points for the Panthers, allowing them to solidify the win.
The Lions offensive struggles were evident from the beginning as they were faced with an immediate deficit, as two missed layups and three turnovers allowed the Panthers to grab an 8-2 lead. Florida Tech took advantage of the early edge and soon built a double-digit lead, 27-13, midway through the first half.
Florida Tech continued to put pressure on the usually stout Lions' defense as they went on to post 52 points over the opening 20 minutes.
The Lions' offense did, however, catch fire in the second half as they connected on 57 percent (17-for-30) of their shots. Still, it was not enough as the Panthers outscored the Lions by 11 points, 45-34, over the course of the final 20 minutes to bring the score to its final.
The loss negated an outstanding shooting day from Shalisa Hill as she poured-in a Saint Leo best 18 points. Meanwhile, Chelsea Williams and Sarah Winans bucketed 14 and 12, respectively.
Florida Tech featured four double-digit scorers, including a team-high 17 points from Briauna Hagins.
Overall, Florida Tech out-rebounded the Lions 41-28, while the Lions dominated the paint with 42 points.
Saint Leo will return to action on Wednesday, January 11, when they host rival Florida Southern College in a Sunshine State Conference tilt. Tip-off between the Lions and Moccasins is set for 5:30 p.m.

"I ordered these thank you cards for my wedding and they are beautiful. I used a Hi-Res photo from my photographer and because of the card stock the picture isn't as crisp as it could be. Other than that it really is a beautiful card. I used Wedding Paper Divas for my invitations as well. I love this site and the ease of placing orders."
"Our wedding shower invites and thank you post cards were absolutely beautiful. On the thank you cards we used our own (personal) photo shots and were extremely happy with the print, photo, and card stock quality. Both cards were amazing! Thank you for the beautiful work you do."
"Size was smaller than i envisioned but loved them just the same. Picture color was vibrant. We chose the green option and were pleased. Very heavy but foldable card stock. Super quick turn around! Over all happy with everything!"
"These cards were perfect for my shower thank you's. They are so pretty. The paper thickness was perfect. I have a few left over so I will probably use them for my vendors."
"We wanted the ability to have one main picture on the front and then a few extra ones inside on our wedding thank you cards. This seemed to be the only one that allowed this. It was easy to add photos and change the design. The end product is amazing and we changed the design to have a plain white background so it didn't crash as much with our save the dates and wedding invitations. I'm so excited to send these out!"

I love performance. Features are nice, but if they are not fast, then I consider them unusable. The point of performance is to allow someone to accomplish a task in the minimum amount of time. If you are operating on a multi gigabyte file (ie a file that is larger than the memory you have available), the fastest solution is to have a fast RAIDed harddrive for scratch. If all of your work is large but fits within memory, then the best speed ups probably come from highly optimized code. If you are working on many small files, then a clean UI with quick access to functions that you want to perform is where you will find wins.
What can I do? Well, I can offer advice for the first case, but it is a pretty well defined space already. For the third case, features that combine operations or ease accessibly, I'm not much of a feature man. But, for the second case, I can do something about this.
What do I want? I want to help people. I want their experience with Photoshop to be the best that I can make it. If there is a performance issue in Photoshop, it bothers me. If I find someone on the team has introduced a slowdown, I can darken their door until it is fixed. If there is a key algorithm than can be optimized for a specific processor, I can write that assembly code. This is my area, and I will do what I can to make sure that users of Photoshop are having the fastest experience that we can give.
Sure, it is a large project, lots of code written well before I even heard of Adobe, but I want to make it better. Quality first. This is where this blog comes in for you and me. I want to find out what I can do and let people know that someone is focused on this area. And I never sleep. Okay, up until that sleep part, I'm serious, I will do what I can, as will the rest of the team.

The coalition's mid-term "mid-term" parliamentary programme – which is hogging the headlines today – may seem rather thin compared with the original coalition agreement of 2010, which ran into hundreds of pledges.
What's striking is today's PR stunt (sorry, renewal of political vows) also includes one or two areas where an agreement is by no means pinned down between the Tories and Lib Dems.
One of these is the attempt by George Osborne and others to inject billions of pounds into the road network, preferably by a privatisation of the motorways and trunk roads. Read more

So today I fell off a steel roof and dislocated my shoulder. Funny part it the slip on the roof did the damage, I landed on my feet on the ground.
I have broken so many bones I lost count over the years, this is my first shoulder dislocation. So far the only pleasant part was the fun drugs I got at the ER while they worked on it. I told the lady I would need more than they thought possible....haha...Five doses later they finally consciously managed to sedate me enough to manipulate my arm.
My wife says at some point I was talking about Picasso paintings...haha...I will stick to saying I have NO recollection of such a conversation...lol.
So, now with elk season so close, I know I cant shoot my bow right now, and would be in massive pain if not facing another relocation of the shoulder trying.
Has anyone here ever done that,and if so, how did you rehab it. I need good advise, I can take pain, but I MUST be able to hunt with a bow....
Well that and go back to work...sorta pays the bills that way!! haha.
This injury is only 9 hrs old as of now and getting so damn stiff its not funny. I am hoping to get some decent reset (knock on wood) and recovery over the rest of the weekend.
Then need to start getting on it fast. Please give your experience or credentials when providing tips, I dont need to re injure it. Thanks guys.

Beautiful Bellini Recipes for a Spring Brunch
When chirping birds and bright sunlight become your new alarm clock, and you can finally break out those adorable sundresses (with a light jacket, of course) it's official -- spring is finally here.
When chirping birds and bright sunlight become your new alarm clock, and you can finally break out those adorable sundresses (with a light jacket, of course) it's official -- spring is finally here.
And with the long-awaited season comes blooming flowers, leafy trees and of course, spring brunches. It's no shock that we love everything about brunch over here at Celebrations. We love the option of having breakfast food or lunch food (or a mix of both), a good cup of coffee and the option to enjoy an adult beverage before happy hour.
A spring brunch wouldn't be complete without a delicious Bellini recipe. The fizzy cocktail is typically made with Prosecco or champagne, and fresh peach puree. However, thanks to a boatload of fresh fruits in season (and a blender), you can mix up a variety of flavored Bellinis for a spring brunch.
We love the idea of throwing together fresh berries, herbs such as mint or thyme and even flowers such as lavender or hibiscus for a bold and beatiful Bellini recipe. So check out some of our favorites, and mix one up for you and your besties this year.
Grapefruit Mint Bellini
Grapefruit and mint may seem like an odd combination, but this recipe from Camille Styles proves the tart citrus juice and bold mint taste not only go well together, but make a pretty orange color.
Honeydew MelonBellini
Honeydew always manages to find its way into our fruit salads and breakfast buffets, so it's about time we put it into a cocktail! This Bellini from Laylita takes fresh honeydew slices and purees them for a sweet and smooth fruit juice. Add to a glass of bubbly, and you have the perfect spring drink!
Strawberry Basil Sorbet Bellini
If there's one thing we love more than cocktails, it's ice cream. This strawberry basil sorbet bellini from Country Cleaver combines the sweet tastes of fresh strawberry puree and forzen strawberry sorbet into a glass with champagne and basil. So delicious.
Lovely Lavender Bellini
Fresh dried lavender flowers, some sugar and water is all you need to make this delicious lavender simple syrup. Once that's done, pour it into a champagne flute and top with champagne and peach juice. Plus, the garnish is the best part! Get the recipe from The Chic
Very Berry Bellini
We love fresh berries in the spring and summer, which is why this Very Berry Bellini from Bell'alimento is the perfect spring treat. You get a full serving or fruit and your champagne -- win-win!
Vodka Peach Bellini Recipe
Sparkling wine and fresh peaches have always been the classic Bellini staples. But we decided to take it up a notch with some peach vodka too. Check out our Vodka Peach Bellini for a fun, fruity drink!
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

Lazy idiot
Wait, what times does this thing start?
Tick tock
The Greatest of All Time
For the first time in my life... yes.
On Sunday morning's training race, she was already tweaking.
I'm not setting a goal time, but I'm guessing it could be anywhere between 4:30-6:00. Who the hell knows at this point? That sounds painfully slow to me, but it will just mean that 'thon #2 will be a HUGE PR.
S&M Collector
About the Monkey? Seriously?
Get out. You're making it up.
I am in a really fucked position right now. I was supposed to wait 6 weeks before running and made it 2. But I really have no clue as to what I can handle right now,
Wait. You're making the Monkey marathon # 1?
That's funny.
Oh Mighty Wing
Hell yes. Go big or go home.
Or in this case, go big and then get carted home in a box.
How did I miss this?
All joking aside. Was she really tweaking about monkey?
Candice, are you really that intense in person?
Yes. She was. She was worried about breaking the 10% rule for mileage or something like that, talking about googling stress fractures...among other things monkey related.
Man, no one wants to run with me. WTF is that?
Trent, am I that bad to run with?
Oh man.
Man, no one wants to run with me. WTF is that?
Trent, am I that bad to run with?

Note For Shoppers:
I am a true believe that consumers can make their voices heard simply by speaking with their pockets. First, shop only when necessary. Then, shop for products that are truly green in some way. And when it comes to gifts, shop for items that are thoughtful and that the recipient will love and actually use. There's no point in giving a gift just because it's green if the recipient will never use it. This Green Gift Guide will help you be a more conscious consumer and gift-giver, no matter who might be on your list.
You should also think about making your home smart, if it's not already. There are plenty of smart devices and most of them are controlled by a personal assistant like Amazon Echo.

Bible study 10am, worship 10:30am....Visitors warmly welcome!
Introduction to Conservative Friends

Friends in Christ
Harrisville, Michigan, USA
Conservative Quakers www.plainquaker.org
Conservative Worship Group after the Manner of Friends
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:
but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
John 15:15
Welcome in the Love and Peace of Christ Jesus!
Friends in Christ Worship Group began in 2006 when a very small group of Friends established a waiting worship (silent) meeting in the Harrisville, Michigan, Alcona County area. We warmly welcome visitors, newcomers, and those interested in experiencing a silent Quaker meeting. As a group, we support the conservative, traditional values and principles of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). These include nonviolence, simplicity, honesty, and justice.
Gathering twice monthly on 1st and 3rd First Days (Sundays) at 10:00 am, we begin with a pre-meeting time of Bible study. Silent worship, also called unprogrammed meeting for worship, begins at 10:30 am.
Our worship is called "unprogrammed" because there is no set format or "order of worship". Refreshments and fellowship follow at rise of meeting (end of the meeting).
In traditional Quaker meetings such as ours, worship is a silent time of waiting expectantly to be led by the ever-present Spirit of God through Christ. Ours is a free gospel ministry, with no clergy. We listen for the voice of our Lord within to strengthen, guide, and forgive. Any attender may be led by God's Spirit to briefly speak, pray or sing a hymn during meeting. When Friends are moved to speak, they rise and speak to the gathered group as led by the Spirit. Anyone in attendance may speak if led to do so. We only ask that all be led by the Spirit as to whether a particular message is for the individual alone at that moment, or is indeed for the ears of the entire group of Friends. Children in attendance stay with the adults during worship.
We testify that Jesus Christ - Son of God, our Saviour and Lord, the Word of God, comes as Living Water offered freely to us, that we need not thirst again in this otherwise parched world. We value and use the Bible. The translations used vary between individuals but include the King James, New International Version and others. Worship ends with the shaking of hands, followed by community announcements, social time and refreshments.
Dress is casual but we encourage modesty. Some Quakers adopt the plain dress attire of more traditional Friends as part of their personal Christian ministry and witness but
there is no required or expected "dress code" at any Friends meetings.
We welcome all visitors to share our Christ-centered, unprogrammed meetings for worship. Please call ahead to be sure meeting will be held that day. 989-464-1918.
During 12th through 5th months, (Dec - April), we hold a monthly study group on 7th day afternoons starting at 3pm (1st Sat of the month) on various topics. This year the subject is evolution and we will enjoy the creation based ministry of Ken Ham via DVD's and discussion afterward. Dish-to-pass dinner to follow. Public welcome, please call in advance.
Thank you for your visit and may God bless your day!

Welcome back to another edition of "Getting to Know Your Favorite Elder Scrolls Modder (that GTKYFESM for short). This week we've got an interview with Nicoroshi that I conducted about a month ago. Nicoroshi loves building and creating — whether it's at his job as a metal worker, doing woodwork and welding, or working on mods for The Elder Scrolls.
About a year ago, you did an interview with Planet Elder Scrolls. Since then, how have you changed as a modder?
Honestly I have slowed down a bit in my rate of creation. Now I tend to focus more on details. Rather than be overly excited about sharing what I created, and releasing the mod before it was done to my satisfaction. I use it myself, and send it to friends for a couple of weeks. This patience I have learned gives me more time to try different textures, modify parts of a mesh that may have bothered me, or consult friends for opinions from their playtesting of the mod. Having to release updates on four different sites (when things were done the old way) took up a bunch of my scarce free time. Waiting a bit while using it, and asking friends to play test for me has saved me from that. This method has allowed me to release a better more complete mod in version 1.0.
I have also learned more modding skills since that interview. My UVMapping, and texture creation have greatly increased allowing for more detailed items in game. I have also improved in deciding where a good bump map could replace extra vertices in the mesh. A prime example is Wyrmfang. 80% of the details on the crosspiece were done through the texture, and bump mapping allows me to keep the final poly count of the model to 4143. My scripting ability has also increased. Through the help of Hobbs, Visman, and Katalysis, I can now write working scripts for my own mods. This was something that was beyond me not too long ago. It allowed me to bring auto-equipping arrows to Nicos Kynareth Archery, and dual crossed blades on your back when un-equipped for Nicos Scimitars. My thanks go to them for sharing their knowledge, and helping me to make better mods.
What projects are you currently working on?
My current project is a sword with quest to obtain it. Once again I am expanding on what I know by creating something unlike anything I have seen released thus far. I don't want to give too much away about it, but I can tell you that I was inspired by the Tribunal quest to rebuild Trueflame, and by the Holy Cuteblade. Perhaps I have already said too much…oops.
Recently, my daughter expressed interest in doing some voice acting after being a constant companion during the creation of Arrows of the Ayleid King, in which both my wife and I did voice acting. My daughter is full of wonderful ideas, and one of my major inspirations when I mod — along with the fact that she's really good at voice acting. Because of her interest, I'm casting her as the quest giver. There is still much work to do, although the concepts are almost complete. It should be fun to create another mod with her not only by my side, but helping with the content too. Modding in my house has become a family affair with all members offering suggestions and opinions on the things I am creating.
Outside of your own work, what projects are you looking forward to?
I have to admit that I am not as active in the community or on the forums as I once was due to real life leeching my free time lately — so I may not be aware of some projects in the works.
I have talked with Divine Avenger recently about the Predator mod which interests me. I very much liked the Predator mod for Morrowind, and am looking forward to seeing it converted for use in Oblivion by that team of talented people. I am also looking forward to seeing some of the people I have helped (or spurred on) release mods. It's gratifying to spread the addiction that is Oblivion modding. 🙂
A lot of your projects relate to weapons. What's your favorite one you've done?
A favorite would be hard to choose as I still have every mod I ever created as part of my personal game, and use most all of them from time to time. If I had to choose I would say Nico's Scimitars. The swords I created are based on the ebony scimitars from Tribunal (my favorite weapon from that game), and they came out exceptionally well — thanks to input from my friends (scripting cleaned up by Katalysis, and dual crossed blades on the back idea by Ogramirad). I love the dual back sheathing of the blades on my current character. Their shape, color, and implementation fit her persona perfectly, and they are her main close combat weapons.
I'm scared to ask, but do you have any weapons like these at your house?
I do own one sword, although it's not as nice as some of the models I have created. It's a leather wrapped hand-made Katana I bought long ago. Now I'm more into collecting pocket knives and tools rather than swords or axes.
Any recent books/movies/games that have inspired some of the weapons you're working on?
Although I love reading, catching the occasional movie, and gaming, I tend to work on one project at a time, and have tried recently to create unique things rather than copies of existing items.
Basic concepts for items tend to come from something I have seen. An example being the Elven bows from The Lord of the Rings movies. The last two bows I created — Nicos Tabaxi Bows and Nicos Kynareth Archery — evolved as they were being created. I started with a basic idea for the shape and size of the bow. I then modeled it, and started modifying the model until I was happy with the shape, and lines of it. They almost take on a life of their own during creation when I am not trying to duplicate something I have seen elsewhere. Both of those bows turned out far different than my original vision for them, though I think they both have the lines and feel I was going for when I started. They are truly from the mind of Nico.
Does your interest with the Elder Scrolls center more around the fantasy setting or the type of game it is?
Both. I played D&Ds when I was much younger, and have always loved the fantasy worlds of books, games, and movies. What really drew me into The Elder Scrolls series was the gameplay. Here was a game that had swords, bows, trolls, goblins, and all of the other things I loved in a fantasy world but was non-linear. I don't have to finish one quest before I am allowed to do something else. I can go anywhere I want anytime I want to, and play the game however I choose. It doesn't matter if I complete the main quest….Ever! I think I've died and gone to gaming heaven. Now to top that Bethesda releases a Construction Set for it that allows me to create my own content. Somebody please pinch me…I must be dreaming! Then there is a whole modding community that all make mods, and upload them world wide for everyone to enjoy adding to their own game for free! I have found gaming Utopia. I have many other games installed on my computer, but I still come back to Oblivion and Morrowind more than any other for these reasons.
Do you think you'll play Fallout 3?
No. It's not really the kind of game that I would play. Post nuclear holocaust setting is not something that interests me.
What would you say your modding strengths and weaknesses are?
My modding strengths would include modeling, texturing, NifSkope usage, and basic CS usage. Things I still need work on would include scripting, quest creation, rigging, and advanced CS usage (although I have a basic knowledge of all these as well).
If you ever think of an idea that's out of your comfort zone, do you pitch the idea to other modders?
I certainly would. In fact, I have an idea that I would like to pitch to Bethesda for their next Elder Scrolls game. The reason I choose to pitch to you rather than the talented modders is I believe this would require more than modders for Oblivion could accomplish on the scale I envision it to be.
I loved the "Through a Nightmare Darkly" quest in Oblivion, and the craziness of Shivering Isles. I always thought that sleeping in Oblivion was kind of a waste just watching the counter run down. Having no reason to sleep broke the role play aspect of the game for me. I love mods like Real Hunger and Real Thirst because of what they added in that respect. I see a opportunity to give the player a reason to sleep in the game. First make sleeping mandatory along with eating and drinking. Have the player enter a dreamworld whenever he/she sleeps. Leveling would occur in the dreamworld separate from the waking world as well as what items would be in their inventory. There could be similar places, and NPCs from game world as in the waking world (using the same models) but different quests, and different governing attributes as well.
An example would be the ability to somewhat control the outcome of the dreams as levels increase or the ability to fly or float at higher levels. I think it would make for a unique experience having basically two games going at once, and spending time between both. One could decide how much or little they wished to sleep (min 2 hours/ max 16 hours per night) depending on which game play the player liked better.
Creatures (and their AI) could differ as well between dreaming, and waking. Keep the need for a bed to sleep. The player would be swept away to a dream sequence upon sleeping but when the time of sleeping was over they would be spirited back to the place they fell asleep for return to the waking world. I see infinite possibilities of what to include in the dreamworld of this game, and it could even be based on the player's infamy, fame or recent experiences (quest stages) from the waking world. Short dreamworld quests/ encounters based on the player's own in (waking) game experiences creating a game within a game to create a completely unique gaming experience for the role player.
Interesting eh?
What other games are you playing these days?
I play COD4, and RB6 Vegas 2 with my clan at Firingsquad — although online multiplayer games are not my favorite. I play them mainly to have some fun with my friends. I still fire up Morrowind from time to time as well as the KOTOR games. Single-player RPGs are definitely more my speed.
Have you thought about a career in game development?
Yes, You're talking about my dream job. Being a builder by nature, and creating mods for fun it would tickle me to no end to be making a living out of doing what I love.
Having done Sheet Metal for the past 21 years, it's kind of hard on the body. Although I am good at it, and run the jobs I work on, I wouldn't mind a change in occupation to something that allows me to continue building, creating, and solving problems without the physical labor part of the equation.
Anything else interesting I'd like to share?
I am a builder by nature. I disassemble, repair and/or redesign, and re-assemble just about anything. I also enjoy woodworking, welding, and I play guitar. I am married to a wonderful woman, whom I have been with for the last 20 years, and we have two amazing children.

It has become one of the great suspense stories in American letters, the nonfiction equivalent of Ahab and the white whale: Robert Caro and his leviathan, Lyndon Baines Johnson. Caro, perhaps the pre-eminent historian of 20th-century America, and Johnson, one of the most transformative 20th-century presidents—in ways triumphant and tragic—and one of the great divided souls in American history or literature.
From This Story
Related Content
When Caro set out to write his history, The Years of Lyndon Johnson, he thought it would take two volumes. His new Volume 4, The Passage of Power, traces LBJ from his heights as Senate leader and devotes most of its nearly 600 pages to the first seven weeks of LBJ's presidency, concluding with his deeply stirring speeches on civil rights and the war on poverty.
Which means his grand narrative—now some 3,200 pages—still hasn't reached Vietnam. Like a five-act tragedy without the fifth act. Here's where the suspense comes in: Will he get there?
In 2009 Caro told C-Span's Brian Lamb that he had completed the stateside research on Vietnam but before writing about it, "I want to go there and really get more of a feel for it on the ground." Meaning, to actually live there for a while, as he'd lived in LBJ's hardscrabble Texas Hill Country while writing the first volume, The Path to Power.
Caro still plans to live in Vietnam, he told me when I visited him in his Manhattan office recently. He's 76 now. There has been an average of ten years between the last three volumes' appearances. You do the math.
I'm pulling for him to complete the now 30-year marathon, and the guy who met me at his Manhattan office looked fit enough for the ordeal of his work, more like a harried assistant prof at Princeton, where he studied. He was in the midst of frantically finishing off his galleys and chapter notes and told me he just realized he hadn't eaten all day (it was 4 p.m.), offered me a banana—the only food in the office—and when I declined, I was relieved to see, ate it himself. The man is driven.
Those who have thought of Caro as one of LBJ's harshest critics will be surprised at the often unmediated awe he expresses in this new book: "In the lifetime of Lyndon Johnson," he writes of LBJ's first weeks as president, "this period stands out as different from the rest, as one of that life's finest moments, as a moment not only masterful, but in its way, heroic."
But how to reconcile this heroism with the deadly lurch into Vietnam? I have my suspicions as to what he's going to do, and you might too when you get to the final page of this book where he writes, after paying tribute to this heroic period, about the return to the dark side, "If he had held in check those forces [of his dark side] within him, had conquered himself, for a while, he wasn't going to be able to do it for long."
"Do you mean," I asked him, "that the very mastery of power which he'd used for civil rights gave him the hubris to feel he could conquer anything, even Vietnam?"
"I'll have to take a pass on that," Caro said. He won't reveal anything until he writes it.
