Lakers take down Duluth Central 25-14 -- DL football scores key conference win Friday
Surviving some self-inflicted wounds throughout the first half, the Detroit Lakes football team showed some new tactics in the third and fourth quarters to help lead the Lakers to an important 25-14 North Country Conference victory at Duluth Central Friday.
The Lakers' defense and offense took turns having the spotlight on them, as the former kept DL in the game by holding the score 0-0 at half, despite the latter having four turnovers -- including three fumbles.
The offense took over in the second half, which was keyed by some proper adjustments at halftime, a new look no-huddle offense and the loosening up of Duluth Central's perimeter defense.
All these aspects were glued together by DL's "platooning" format -- which basically meant the Lakers had 11 players playing only one way for the majority of the game.
"The platooning came up big tonight for us," said senior DL defensive end Brock Johnson. "Our defense was ready to go in the second half and in the fourth quarter. We got on them later in the game and they were getting tired, while we were still good to go. It was huge for us."
The Lakers also introduced their no-huddle offense, which played a big part in getting them into a proper rhythm, and that eventually led to a 25-point second half.
"(Quarterback) Reed Oistad did a phenomenal job running the no-huddle," said DL head coach Flint Motschenbacher. "The defense saved us by keeping them scoreless in the first half. Our offense couldn't do anything right in the first half."
The Trojans left their opportunities on the field in the first half, after not producing any points off of DL's four turnovers.
Duluth Central snapped 34 plays to DL's 20 in the first half, but while the Laker defense bent a bit, it didn't let the Trojans -- and their star running back Quinton Witherspoon -- find the end zone.
"The kids just stepped up there in the first half," said DL defensive coordinator Rob Nielsen. "We coaches told them they had to match Duluth Central's physical style of play because they are so big up front, and our kids matched that.
"The kids just played well. We didn't run anything special, no blitzes. Our kids were just hitting and playing well off the ball."
The scoreless knot was snapped and shattered in the third quarter, with 27 points combined from both teams.
That dam sprung its first leak on special teams, as a bad snap over DL punter Johnson's head on the their first possession set the Trojans up in good territory at the Lakers' 14.
Witherspoon found a crease through the middle off right tackle and slithered for six points -- and the scoring slew was on.
The Lakers used special teams to set up their first score, as well, as senior fullback and return man Dustin Rietsema rambled with the ensuing kickoff 44 yards down the visitor's sideline to start the next series at the Trojan 48.
The no-huddle offense was unveiled on first and 10 at the Central 33, which gained a setup inside the Trojan five -- all on rushes.
But the home team's defense -- which was also playing stout -- stiffened and forced a fourth and goal from the Central seven.
Oistad and the DL coaches identified a mismatch on the outside with the 6-3 wideout Josh Stalberger lined up one-on-one against 5-7 cornerback Dan Erickson.
Oistad lofted his pass to a fading Stalberger, who easily outreached Erickson for the touchdown.
Witherspoon, who had picked up 54 yards rushing in the first quarter and was being held in check up to the third quarter, broke off a 68-yard dashing end zone run after sneaking through the line and into the open space.
After that 68-yard run, Witherspoon was limited to just 11 yards on five carries the rest of the game.
"We don't have anyone who can catch him when he breaks free like that," Nielsen added.
With both teams missing extra-point kicks on their first TDs, the Trojans pounded in their two-point run on a Joe Serre bulrush up the middle to put the score at 14-6 in their favor.
DL started working the outer edges and the flat to seam areas with their passing game and end-around slotback runs on their next possession.
With the Trojan defense and their bulky middle of the line keying on Rietsema --who was held to just 17 yards on seven carries in the first half -- one of the beneficiaries of the open space around the edges was slotback Max Knoll.
Entering the second half with one carry for negative 11 yards, Knoll found lots of running room around end and also on boot and seam route passes by Oistad.
Knoll had five carries for 70 yards in the second half, with 59 net in the game, while catching all his receptions in the third and fourth quarters with three for 58 yards.
"Our passing game was able to open up the edges and we went out and found it," said Knoll, who gouged the Trojan offense in the fourth quarter for 71 combined yards. "We knew our effort was going to be there and we just went out and got it."
Oistad also hit his other slotback, Aaron Gnoinsky, for a 20-yard gain on DL's second scoring drive. Rietsema followed with a 24-yard pickup on the ground, and Stalberger was hit on a slant for a first down and 15 more yards to reach the Trojan 15.
Gnoinsky took another right end rush to the three, where Oistad scored the first of three consecutive rushing TDs. The Lakers were started to establish control, but still trailed 14-13 going into the fourth quarter.
The ball possession also shifted big time, with DL having 23 plays from line of scrimmage in the third quarter, to Central's six.
"Our coaches did a great job adjusting the defense and the kids went out and played hard and kept going after it," Motschenbacher said. "That platooning came up big, too, because it kept everyone fresh."
The Laker defense also made the Trojans one-dimensional, as quarterback Anthony Buchberger completed just one pass for five yards on the night.
That was evident, too, as Central only had one first down in the entire second half to DL's 15, which kept the tiring Trojans out on the field.
DL used a nine-play, 81-yard scoring drive to take its first lead, which was all picked up by Knoll and Rietsema. Then they capped on an Oistad eight-yard TD run up through the middle of the Trojan defense, which was feeling the effects of a long second half for an 18-14 lead with 7:44 remaining in regulation.
The Central offense, which had Witherspoon finishing with 178 yards rushing on the night, couldn't produce a first down, despite having a huge weight advantage on the line of scrimmage.
"We just didn't want to be pushed back," Johnson said. "Everyone was doing their part on defense tonight."
The finishing blows came on a Central bad snap to its punter with just over five minutes left, as DL took over on the Trojan 28. After a Knoll 23-yard run around left end, Oistad took it in from five yards out to knock the Trojans down and out for the two-possession lead at 25-14.
Oistad led the Lakers in rushing with 79 yards, but also kept a nice balance to the offense with his best game passing, after throwing for 126 yards and a 9-17 night with one interception.
The win is a big one for the Lakers, who are now 3-1 and 3-0 in the conference.
"Our team really grew up as a team tonight," Motschenbacher said. "It's a key conference win."
"It's huge," Knoll added. "Our goal is to win the conference and this is a big one to get."
The Lakers will be back at the Duluth Public Schools Field Friday for a 5:15 p.m. start when they play conference foe Duluth Denfeld.

Lincoln landslide victim identifiedBy KRISTI GAROFALO
Union Leader Correspondent
October 31. 2012 1:07PM
Lincoln Police Chief Theodore Smith said Tuesday morning he thought the town made it through the storm pretty well.
'I had just finished checking out all the town's bridges,' he said. 'Everything looked good until 8:22 a.m.'
That's when police got the call of a worker trapped under a collapsed wall on the Landing Road in the Loon Mountain Resort Area.
According to police, Brooks was the owner of Pemmi Contracting LLC of North Woodstock. He was checking storm damage on The Landing Road where a new house foundation was being constructed.
During the storm, the foundation hole filled with water and nearby streams continued to fill it. Brooks was standing on a rock wall built into the steep embankment setting up a hose to pump the water out when the area collapsed.
'The foundation basically turned to mush,' said Chief Smith. Due to the amount of water in the soil and the pressure of the water on the embankment, Brooks was trapped in a landslide of mud, water and rocks that carried him down a hill about two or three stories high, police said.
A co-worker ran to his aid but didn't find his body until the water had cleared. When he was found, Brooks was unconscious and not breathing. Lincoln police officers performed CPR at the scene until an ambulance arrived. Brooks was pronounced dead during transport to Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth, police said.
The phone number for Brooks' business and residence was out of service Wednesday. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.

Getting Blanked's Drew Fairservice recently provided a guide to the Rogers Centre in a post on Big League Stew. While Drew makes some good points, I'd like to share my own personal experience.
I remember my first time visiting the Rogers Centre. I had flown from my home town in Eastern Canada to Toronto, a good 1,566 miles away, to experience my first Blue Jays' Opening Day. For a fan from a rural town, I thought my first experience getting there would be a hectic one, but as the post calls out, the subway transit is incredibly convenient. And while the drive can be a bit congested at times, there are always places to park in the surrounding area, including directly underneath the ballpark!
During that trip, the first thing I did was walk around the ballpark. I was fortunate as it was half-raining and half-snowing that day, but because of the retractable roof, the game was still able to be played and in comfort! That's one of the benefits of taking a road trip to the Rogers Centre, as no matter when you plan to come, you can be certain the game will be played!
I then grabbed some typical ballpark food: hot dog, cotton candy and peanuts. It also wouldn't be the true Canadian ballpark experience without having some poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds)! As mentioned in the guide, you are able to bring your own food into the stadium, so make an addition to your scrumptious meal with a cup of Tim Hortons coffee.
I was surprised by this comment: "The influx of new/old fans has upped the quotient of ruffians […] with fighting, cursing, and of course, vomiting." There has been negative news regarding Blue Jays fans this year and I understand that I haven't been there in 2013 (even though I have season tickets again this year), but Blue Jays fans are great individuals and that reputation is being soiled by a few unfortunate instances.
Since my first game several years ago, I have seen hundreds of games at Rogers Centre; I have tasted delicious food, cheered alongside wonderful people and enjoyed the game of baseball. Much like any ballpark, as Big League Stew highlights in its other guides, there are a multitude of bad and good factors that arise with any stadium. If anyone wants a personal tour of Rogers Centre to experience the good, be sure to let me know!
What are your favorite elements of Rogers Centre or your home ballpark? Comment below.

Hi, guys. I've been dodging thunder storms here on the frozen tundra and forgot to log out. Minnesota was hit by a huge line of T-storms that looked a lot scarier on radar than any events I saw. But there was a pretty decent light show. All that lift I was in today had to go somewhere!
I decided to play around with some high speed stuff today so I didn't set any duration records but I sure had fun. There were lots of small but violent thermals that, judging by the varying vectors, were rotating almost enough to become dust devils. After my little disorientation episode yesterday I decided to bail out of boomers early. I know how fast I can dive without folding the wings and it's fast enough to sing if not howl. I'm not sure if my cooling scoops added to the noise but it was a great sound!
To the best of my knowledge the music wire wing pins were my idea. The so-called instructions didn't say what to use but they showed something sticking out of the wing and I didn't find anything in the box that looked the part. Plus there are two holes provided in the thick fiberglass at the front of the wing fairing and the leading edge. They're right at the apex of the 45 degree bevel Jim mentioned (I'll shoot some pics tomorrow.) which places the leading edge in a solid fiberglass pocket. The holes in the wing are about 1/16" into what seems to be solid wood- the ones in the fairing are around 3mm(?)- so I stuck a couple pieces of music wire in them to see how the holes lined up. I was thinking I would just get the wing bolted down and drill 3/16" holes from the nose and use dowels.
Well? They wouldn't quite line up without a little bending but I realized that I could work a tiny notch into the fiberglass to capture the pins so I could bend them for fine adjustment while locating the holes for the wing bolts. I would have just drilled a slightly bigger hole and the notch would be gone.
Long story short: I discovered that the wire provided as sure a fit as any dowel I've used so I enlarged the notches, glued the wires into the leading edge, and made slightly deeper notches at the top of the female holes where any possible crack would move towards the thickest part of the fairing. The wire provides a little bit of give, allows fine adjustment, and securely holds the wings together. There's been no sign of stress cracks and I've been flying the poor Specter pretty darned fast. I wouldn't hit full elevator when it's loud enough to hear but it rolls real nice.
NOTE: Just this evening I started thinking that I should put some heat shrink tubing on the locating wires to add a little more cushion. But it's past my bed time.
No flying this weekend but I discovered the first damage to the Specter. A short crack in the leading edge sheeting at the root. My guess is that the air loads, especially during my harrowing bailout from a thermal, combined with an imperfect fit at the fairing created enough stress to split it. It's easily fixed with a little thin CA but I'm going to have to rework the fairing a bit.
Most importantly, I'm going to "glass" the center section with Sky-Loft, which is a nylon silkspan-like covering. It's lighter than the lightest glass cloth and surprisingly tough with good flexibility and surface hardness. This is by no means a necessary mod and I wouldn't bother if I hadn't missed the poor fit after my wing pins were in. (BTW. The pins didn't fail in any way and I took them out by heating the music wire with a torch and I'll replace them after I get my fairing reworked.) Now that I found the problem it will just take a few minutes with the Dremel to get rid of a couple protrusions. Then I'll have to do some putty work.
I'll decide on what I use after I get done grinding. If I get the profile right for the glassed wing root I may not need any filler or be able to just dress it up cosmetically with a little Gorilla Glue.
This is not the fault of the kit. I misaligned the wing pins and holes and didn't realize it because the fit was nearly right. I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't mounted the wings separately and realized there was a gap. The only reason that I'm "glassing" the center section is the split sheeting. Secondarily its so I can take advantage of the slightly bigger profile to reduce grinding.
I ran out of hands.
I wasn't really able to get a decent picture of the wing when it didn't fit but here's a shot of the wing saddle/fairing. A small drop of epoxy resulted in the wing being about 1/32" away from the leading edge and that allowed the wing to move under stress. The crack in the sheeting was right at the end of the fairing and ran about 1 1/2" in from the root rib. Now that I have the offending epoxy out of the way I don't think I'll need to bother glassing it. I'm still working on exactly what I'm going to do to make the pins self-aligning so I'll post another pic when I get it figured out.
Just to reiterate: This was my screw up
Just an update.
I think I've got everything fixed but my camera batteries died and I'm waiting for some glue to set so I'll post pictures tomorrow. I bored out the bolt holes and filled the gaps with epoxy and talcum and added hardwood pieces for the wing pins. My biggest setback was when my 30 year old Dremel crapped out.
I decided to save $20.00 and try a Menard's brand rotary tool. It's a little bulky but seems like a decent tool. I'll probably post a mini-review after I've had a chance to play with it more.
cool plane if you have room to land it
I had a heavy passer x that was fantastic for the price. In a straight line its glide ratio was amazing. Ended up losing it in the lee side of a 1000 ft ridge but had a lot of fun with before that. You can shove a carbon tube through the balsa ribs all the way up to the servos as a super stiff wing joiner.
I found those ailerons too little to be effective as spoilerons, and the thing was a real challenge to land in a tight spot, requiring hard 360s at 5-10 feet. If I ever got another (and I may) I'd rig either flaps or spoilers into the wing.
Still no pics but I've got my wing mount all fixed up. I just glued a couple pieces of hardwood inside the fuse and filled the gaps with Gorilla Glue; mostly just to provide a channel, hardened with a little CA, to steer the pins to their holes. It's funny how sometimes one fails to recognize a weak point until it's fixed. I feel much more confident about going fast enough for the Specter to sing.
Jim, I get a little over 50 degrees of spoiler and I agree. It's like an anchor. With any headwind at all I can let it mush for a nearly vertical approach. It did take a bit of trial and error to mix in down elevator with spoilers but now it's very easy to fly on approach.
I've been paying with my new batteries. I picked up 2 Zippy Flightmax 1600mah 3 cells from HK. Big surprise? They are actually a bit lighter than advertized and only 4 grams heavier than the Sky-Lipo 1300s I've been using. I figure I can climb 6-8 times and have a total flight time of over an hour but I doubt I'll ever manage that even if the lift cooperates because my neck and eyes start barking at me before that long of a flight.
I also finally got around to checking my cg and throws now that I have everything trimmed out.
CG is at 72mm from the leading edge for very light wind and I move it forward to about 68mm for more breeze. That's about 25mm forward with the new batteries.
Ailerons have 11mm up and 8mm down. I actually use negative expo of 20% to keep them really sensitive around center.
Spoilerons go up 23mm and I have 1-2mm down elevator mixed in.
Elevators are 8mm up and down with 30% expo and they move about 9mm for rudder which has no expo at all.
Really useful information! This is wonderful to have and when I setup mine will use this as a starting point before the first flight. This along with the engine, ESC, Prop info you've shared really make these threads wonderful. The kinds of info you only normally get through pain, trial and error! Thanks.
A couple of questions, when you say "that's about 25mm forward with the new batteries" can you clarify the meaning there?
Negative expo might be normal depending on what radio you are using, which is this? An Aurora isn't it?
You're welcome.
I move the battery forward about an inch when it's fairly windy and that moves the CG forward about 4mm. That much movement of the CG does little but improve penetration. My personal preference is to keep any glider trimmed so that it approaches it's maximum lift to drag when it's hands off. I just hold a little back stick when I want to slow down in lift.
I'm using Turnigy 9x radio. Positive expo makes it less sensitive around center and negative expo makes it more sensitive around center. I like the ailerons to respond to the lightest touch of the stick. I would recommend going with perhaps 1-2mm less throw on everything and no expo until you start feeling it out. I had the elevator a bit too sensitive for my maiden and it was a bit twitchy.
I received my Specter today. I hope to start building it next week.
In looking over the package I have a few questions. Concerning the tail feathers, how did you go about attaching those? Second is the wing mounting. I'm not sure how to line up the wing with the pre-installed holes in the fuse to drill the wings and assure I get things centered properly. That and installing the wing pins seem to be a tricky part of the build.
I'll review the thread, look for pictures and make a start at this.

While hosting the Las Vegas event, the 31-year-old auto racer/swimsuit model performed one segment dressed as a Vegas showgirl.
The scantily-clad Patrick, who hosted the event alongside country music star Trace Adkins, even took a raunchy shot at herself.
"The thing about me is there's no chance of a wardrobe malfunction," Patrick said while grabbing her chest. "There's not much to malfunction. I hope that little bit didn't fall flat."
Patrick, who's one of just a handful of women in her sport, has modeled for Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and For Him Magazine in recent years.
She was also named No. 25 on Maxim's Hot 100 list in 2010.
Her racing career, however, has been considerably less entertaining.
For her career, Patrick has just one win, which came in 2008 at an IndyCar race in Japan.
She has just one top-five NASCAR finish.

Design Through the Rear View Mirroredited by Michael LeBlanc
In early 2011, Master of Design students Omnia Attalah, Candace Ellicott, Patrick Foster, Brad Gao, Saijia Sun, Jessica Wang and Yujing Zhang were given six days to complete six speculative design projects that reflect in different ways on how visual language changes with time and culture. The questions that were posed are intended to mix meaning with temporal considerations, forcing students to literally "design through the rear view mirror." The notions that they present in this book will help to augment the possibility that interesting scenarios—ripe for future contemplation—might emerge from these day-long meditations.

MEXICO CITY — President Barack Obama, vowing to confront drug cartels that are "sowing chaos in our communities," called yesterday for the Senate to ratify a long-stalled treaty aimed at curbing illegal arms trafficking. But Obama also suggested he would not press lawmakers to revive an expired ban on assault weapons.
On the first day of a four-day swing through Latin America, Obama declared "a new era of cooperation and partnership" between the United States and Mexico. His trip is intended in part to shore up the efforts of his Mexican counterpart, President Felipe Calderón, to combat the rising tide of cross-border drug violence.
But while the two pledged their "shared responsibility" in the drug wars in a news conference, they seemed to diverge on the issue of the assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. Calderón said 90 percent of the weapons seized in Mexico can be traced to the United States, adding that organized crime increased after the ban expired.
Obama campaigned on a platform of renewing it, but he suggested yesterday that reviving the ban is politically impossible because of opposition from gun enthusiasts. During a news conference with Calderón, the president said he thinks there are more immediate ways to curb the flow of arms.
"None of us are under any illusion that reinstating that ban would be easy," Obama said, while insisting he was "not backing off at all" from his conviction that renewing the ban makes sense.
Obama's meeting with Calderón touched on a range of issues, including immigration policy, climate change and a dispute over whether Mexican trucks should be allowed to deliver goods inside the United States. But the overarching issue was drug violence.
The Obama administration had already pledged to send more agents to patrol the border with Mexico and more helicopters to Mexico. But yesterday the president went a step further, announcing that he would press the Senate to ratify the long-stalled inter-American arms treaty, which the United States had a major hand in negotiating through the Organization of American States.
The treaty, signed by President Bill Clinton, languished in the Senate but went into effect in 1998 after two dozen other nations ratified it. The treaty seeks to crack down on illicit firearms by, among other things, establishing a system for the import, export and transfer of firearms, and by fostering cooperation among law enforcement agencies investigating illegal trafficking.
"It makes good policy sense," said Peter DeShazo, a former senior State Department official who has advocated ratifying the pact. "It's very hard for the United States to call on other countries to cooperate on controlling the flow of illegal arms if we haven't ratified a major inter-American convention."
But it was unclear what type of reception the treaty would receive in Washington. Aides to Obama said he was working closely with Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, to get the treaty ratified, but Reid issued a statement that offered no commitment to bring the treaty up for a vote.
On Capitol Hill, a senior Democratic official said that despite the president's urging, it would be difficult to move forward on the long-stalled treaty given the Senate's already crowded agenda, as well as a continuing Democratic reluctance to engage in a politically charged debate over guns. The National Rifle Association said yesterday that it would "continue to vigorously oppose any international effort to restrict the constitutional rights of law-abiding American gun owners."
Obama was spending the night in Mexico before leaving for Port of Spain, Trinidad, to attend a gathering of leaders of Western Hemisphere nations.
Since taking office, Obama and his aides have been working assiduously to carve out a Mexico policy that talks of "shared responsibility" in combating the drug problem. On Wednesday, the Obama administration announced stiff financial sanctions against three Mexican organizations involved in drug trafficking, designating them "kingpins" under a law that allows the U.S. government to seize their assets.
Also Wednesday, Alan Bersin, the former U.S. attorney for San Diego, was named the Obama administration's border czar.
In words that resounded on both sides of the border, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Mexico City last month that America's "insatiable demand" for illegal drugs fueled the trade and that America's "inability" to stop weapons from being smuggled south fed the violence. It is a marked shift in tone from previous administrations, and Obama used his visit here to reiterate the sentiment.
"I will not pretend that this is Mexico's responsibility alone," he said. "The demand for these drugs inside the United States is keeping these cartels in business."
As if to underscore his point, Mexican authorities reported yesterday that at least 15 drug cartel gunmen had been killed in a gunbattle with army troops. One soldier was also reported killed in the clash, which took place in San Miguel Totolapan, about 125 miles southwest of Mexico City in Guerrero state.
More than 10,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico since Calderón unleashed his battle against the cartels after taking office in December 2006.
Calderón's effort to crush the cartels was one reason for a jump in killings in Tijuana and other Baja California cities that started in late September and tailed off in mid-January.
The Baja California Attorney General's Office recorded 844 homicides in 2008, many of them related to drug gangs.
Law-enforcement officials said another reason for the spike was the effort by the Arellano Félix cartel, long dominant in the region, to fend off a challenge from a renegade faction headed by a one-time Arellano lieutenant.
The violence and media reports about the situation caused a steep decline in tourism in Baja California, business owners and government officials said.
In San Diego County, officials have said spillover violence has been limited. The FBI has reported the kidnappings of several dozen U.S. citizens since 2005, generally people who have family or business ties to Mexico. San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders recently said four homicides related to cartels have occurred in the city in the past two years.

"What's wrong?" I asked.
For a moment he couldn't speak. Finally, he managed to force out the news: "I just found out I have high blood pressure and need to go on medication."
"High blood pressure?" I said. "That's it? The way you looked, I was sure you were going to tell me something absolutely terrible, like your mom died, or you had just seen a bad review of Oakeshott on Rome and America."

Essential Enthusiast Reading: The great car books of the past 50 years
July 9, 2008
Here are our picks for the "greatest" books about cars published in the past 50 years. Great reading trumps good production, but we're hardly immune to the allure of a beautifully illustrated volume in a quality binding. AutoWeek is about all things automotive, so we favored selections that reflect that broad perspective.
A lot of these titles are available new. Many are out of print, though only a handful are ultraexpensive collector items.

And don't forget your local public library.

AN ELDERLY driver who killed his friend driving back from bowls practice has been spared prison.
Graham Cheetham pulled out on to the A361 and passenger Keith Anderson died after a Land Rover smashed into the side of the Toyota Prius.
The 72-year-old was given a 10-month prison sentence suspended for two years at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday after admitting causing death by careless driving following the crash at the Wykham Lane junction north of Bloxham in November.
Prosecutor Rachel Drake became emotional herself as she read a statement from 72-year-old Mr Anderson's family.
Reading it, she said: "Missing a husband, dad and granddad – words cannot explain the loss we have all experienced."
She also said: "An exacerbating factor for the grief has been the absence of any kind of apology up until now."
Alexander Stein, defending, said Cheetham, of The Daedings in Deddington, had lost a close friend and had since been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
He said: "Mr Cheetham was advised to keep his distance and not say anything at all to Mr Anderson's family and that was what he has done.
"(He) does have genuine heartfelt remorse in this case, not least of course because those two men were good friends."
Cheetham, who has said he does not want to drive again, was also given a restorative justice order meaning he could apologise in a face-to-face meeting with his victim's family.

The Windsor Building is seen engulfed in fire in Madrid, Spain, early Sunday, Feb. 13, 2005. A spectacular, raging fire engulfed the 32-story office building sending flaming chunks of facade cascading to the ground and consuming the building like a candle. The cause of the blaze was not immediately known.
AP Photo MADRID, Spain -- Firefighters struggled for nearly 24 hours before finally controlling Madrid's worst blaze in recent memory, which reduced one of the city's tallest office buildings to a blackened hulk of twisted wreckage.
Thick smoke and temperatures that soared as high as 1,472 degrees Fahrenheit prevented firefighters from entering the 32-story Windsor building until late Sunday. The fire, which left seven people slightly injured, broke out Saturday just before midnight.
The office tower was heavily damaged but did not collapse, as had been feared. However, officials said it was unstable and closed the area around the building.
"What worries us now is its structural state because of the high temperatures it was subjected to," said Merardo Tudelo, director of the Madrid Municipal Firefighters.
Mayor Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon said "the situation is still critical."
Emergency officials planned to keep the area in the Spanish capital's banking and business district cordoned off at least through today.

A rainbow is seen over the rubble following a fire in the Windsor Building in Madrid, Spain, Sunday, Feb. 13, 2005. The cause of the spectacular, raging fire that engulfed the 32-story office building has yet to be determined. Firefighters were still unable to enter the building on Sunday afternoon because of the heat, smoke and risk of injury.
AP Photo
Gallardon ordered nearby businesses to remain closed for the next few days. Service on three subway lines running under or near the building would also be curtailed, he said.
"This is the biggest fire ... this city has ever had," Gallardon said.
It was not immediately clear what caused the fire, but the building was almost empty on Saturday night when the first alarm went off. Only one of seven firefighters who suffered smoke inhalation remained hospitalized Sunday, Gallardon said.
Construction of the shiny gold Windsor Building began in 1973 and was completed in 1979.
It became a landmark in Madrid's business district. The building was surrounded with scaffolding due to recent repairs, and a huge crane remained perched on its roof.

The holidays are a wonderful time of year, full of joy, giving, friends and family. But they can also be a time of excess and waste. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, household waste increases by more than 25 percent. Here are a few tips to help you save money and reduce waste this holiday:Get creative with gift wrappingDid you know: Waste from gift wrap and shopping bags totals more than 4 million tons every year.Old newspapers and magazines are a fun and cheap way to wrap gifts, not to mention a great way to reduce paper waste.If you prefer the look of traditional holiday wrap, try using holiday-themed fabrics to make reusable gift bags. (Tip: You can even use old holiday sweaters or PJ pants!)Did you know: If every family reused 2 feet of holiday ribbon each year, it would save 38,000 miles of ribbon—enough to tie a bow around the entire planet.Save and reuse your ribbons and bows, or, if you don't have any, make your own. Get crafty by repurposing materials found around your house, like old newspapers and magazines.Save more paperIs your mail carrier groaning from the glut of unsolicited holiday catalogs he or she delivers to your home every day? Do yourself and the environment (and your mail carrier!) a favor and get off these mailing lists. You can either call the company that's sending the catalogs and say "Take me off!" or visit www.catalogchoice.org to rid yourself of unwanted catalogs and other junk mail.Real vs. fakeYou may be surprised to learn that real Christmas trees are a more ecofriendly option than artificial trees for the holidays. Real trees sequester carbon while they are alive and are most often reused as compostable woodchips after they're discarded. Fake trees are sometimes produced with PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, a common plastic made from petrochemicals that can also contain lead, cadmium and phthalates—all bad for the environment and you!For an even "greener" evergreen, keep your eye out for trees native to the area grown by farmers who don't use pesticides (or at least use organic ones).Trim the tree with LEDsLED lights run on about one-tenth the energy of conventional lights, and a variety of LED holiday lights are available. Use timers or easy on-off switches so you're not wasting energy when you aren't around to enjoy their festive glow.Consume sustainable foodBuy local, seasonal, organic, free-range and sustainable food when possible. Look for local farms and farmers markets that are open for business in the winter; while the variety of fresh produce may be limited, this is a great time of year for apples, winter squashes, root vegetables, poultry and other kinds of meat, and even jams and jellies from summer's bounty.One of the best ways to minimize food waste is to take preventive action—plan your meals in advance and prepare smaller portions. Reuse leftovers by making a stock from the turkey or ham, or croutons or French toast with dried-out bread. Leftover meats and veggies make delicious casseroles, soups and stir-fries, too.Be "green" while you cleanAs we all know, holiday-sized parties come with holiday-sized cleanups. Use rags and sponges rather than paper towels, and opt for ecofriendly cleaning sprays (or make a 50/50 solution of water and non-GMO white vinegar).You may be tempted to use disposable plates, napkins and cutlery for an easy cleanup, but they'll live forever in a landfill. Consider the holidays as the perfect time of year to show off your beautiful china! If you don't have enough for your party, borrow some from the neighbors or ask your guests to bring their favorite holiday mug or glass to drink out of for the night.Gifts: Less is moreIt's true that the holidays are a time of giving, but that doesn't mean you need to purchase something just for the sake of giving a gift. Think of fun alternatives to knickknacks—tickets to a concert or show, enrollment in a class, a donation to someone's favorite charity in the recipient's name, or a tasty treat like preserves from the farmers market. For that extra-special friend or family member, how about one of our Extraordinary Experiences? You'll find a unique Shedd experience for every budget.How do you plan to "green up" your holiday? Happy holidays!—Madeline Caldwell, Great Lakes and sustainability team

James Westmoreland (22).
Free practice one:
1: Josh Brookes (Tyco Suzuki) 1m:30.636s
2: Alex Lowes (WFR Honda) +0.007s
3: Michael Laverty (Samsung Honda) +0.145s
4: James Westmoreland (WFR Honda) +0.187s
5: Luca Scassa (Padgetts Honda) +0.247s
6: Alastair Seeley (Tyco Suzuki) +0.256s
Free practice two:
1: James Westmoreland (WFR Honda) 1m:30.346s
2: Michael Laverty (Samsung Honda) +0.017s
3: Josh Brookes (Tyco Suzuki) +0.071s
4: Alex Lowes (WFR Honda) +0.105s
5: Alastair Seeley (WFR Honda) +0.348s
6: Luca Scassa (Padgetts Honda) +0.482s
James Westmoreland underlined his determination to snatch one of the two remaining Title Fighter places in the Showdown for the MCE Insurance British Superbike crown as he dramatically set the pace in the opening free practice sessions at Donington Park ahead of the decisive ninth round at the Leicestershire circuit.
The WFR Honda rider is one of the eight contenders bidding for the remaining two places to complete the six riders who will be elevated to "Title Fighter" status after these races and Westmoreland eclipsed both of the already qualified Michael Laverty (Samsung Honda) and Josh Brookes (Tyco Suzuki) in the battle for the top spot.
Westmoreland's team-mate Alex Lowes who gave WFR their first ever pole start and podium finish in the previous round at Cadwell Park to move into the crucial sixth place was also on the pace in fourth. He had been out-gunned in the first session by Brookes whose Tyco Suzuki team-mate Alastair Seeley kept his hopes of making the top six alive with consistently fast laps.
However Tommy Bridewell who is currently fifth in the standings on the Supersonic BMW and seventh placed Padgett's Honda rider Ian Lowry both need to find more pace in Saturday's final qualifying to maintain their hopes, improving their current tenth and fourteenth fastest positions.
Noriyuki Haga, who slipped from sixth to eighth in the rankings having missed the previous round because of a broken collarbone crashed off his Swan Yamaha at Redgate bashing his other shoulder, but will race on and is looking to drastically improve his lap times after ending the day 16th. Local hero Chris Walker and Stuart Easton also need to do close the deficit in tomorrow's qualifying.
Series leader Tommy Hill crashed at Coppice without injury as he continues to defend his championship title.

More, from a press release issued by Swan Yamaha:
The Swan Yamaha team had a challenging opening day to the ninth round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship at Donington Park today as Tommy Hill and Noriyuki Haga ended the opening two free practice sessions in eighth and sixteenth respectively.
Hill already has his position confirmed as a Title Fighter in the Showdown and continued to make progress throughout the two sessions until the closing stages this afternoon when he tipped off at Coppice unhurt. Hill remains unfazed and is ready to challenge for the pole position tomorrow at the Leicestershire circuit. Haga was passed fit to ride this morning and returned to the track as he bids to snatch the sixth place in the standings; he was overcoming the collarbone injury sustained in the previous round to move up the order until he also had a crash at Redgate ending his time on track prematurely. Haga was unhurt in the crash and is determined to fight for a strong qualifying performance tomorrow.
Hill said: "I knew the first session was going to be tough as we were already down a day as some of the other teams had been testing. We know what direction we need to head in now and we were up there in the session this afternoon before the crash; it wasn't anything big as I had saved it but dropped it on the grass but couldn't obviously pick it back up again. We have some more changes to make tomorrow and we will be ready for qualifying. We just need to keep moving forward as today certainly wasn't where we need or want to be but it is tomorrow and Sunday that count."
Haga said: "It is good to be back at Donington Park but a shame to have had a crash. I just lost the front so we need to work some more on the balance here to push harder tomorrow. I don't have too much pain, just sometimes with the change in direction at places like Craner Curves you can feel it but it is ok. I know this track well so for sure we just need to get the bike working for here. My lap times were not so bad with a broken collarbone so we need to find more consistency and feeling tomorrow."

More, from a press release issued by Team Suzuki News Service:
Tyco Suzuki riders Josh Brookes and Alastair Seeley made a solid start to this weekend's British Superbike Championship ninth round at Donington Park as Brookes posted the quickest time in the opening Free Practice session and was third in the second despite being held up in traffic, although the Australian is relaxed and looking forward to Qualifying tomorrow.
Seeley was also in the mix at the sharp-end of proceedings on his GSX-R1000 Superbike taking sixth and fifth positions on the opening day as he maintains his upbeat pursuit of a "Top-Six Showdown" place.
In 1000cc Superstock class, American youngster PJ Jacobsen continues to impress after posting the third fastest time in the opening Qualifying session aboard the latest GSX-R1000 Superstock machine on his Donington debut.
Said Brookes: "Everything is working really well. We came here previously to a track day and it was a good decision as I've felt fresh in my mind today and had a really comfortable opening session. I didn't set any amazing lap times but we were fastest in FP1; then in the second session we set out to work on tyre life. I was comfortably in second or third place on a worn tyre - then when we put a new one in, we went P1. I had traffic on the last three laps and despite going 'purple-purple' in the first two sectors, I got held up. I'm happy how things are going and I've gained more than a bit of confidence for tomorrow's qualifying."
Seeley said: "It's good to be back on the flowing Donington circuit where I've had some success previously and we're in the mix. I've just got to do my own job this weekend and ignore what's happening around me and if that's good enough, then we are in with a shout."
Jacobsen said: "I loved the layout of the track when I was here for the track day a few weeks ago and today we've just picked up where we left off. I'm having fun on the big Suzuki and tomorrow it's just a matter of improving things to make sure we get a good grid spot."
Team Manager Phillip Neill added: "Donington has that international feel about it and with it being the last round before the Showdown there will always be a high level of anticipation and expectancy. Josh is relaxed and up for a challenge this weekend and a good start always breeds confidence in a rider. I'm also pleased to see Alastair settling in quickly and we all know what he's capable of when confident."

Sitting at your PC in a fixed office location and closing the door on your work when you leave the office has fast become a thing of the past. Today, we're constantly connected via our smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Chances are you've already sifted through your inbox and responded to emails before you've even walked through your office door, you've reviewed the agenda and related documents as you travel to that all-important meeting and your colleagues can contact you at any time, regardless of location. This is the post-PC era and we are constantly connected.
Research house IDC's Smart Connected Device Tracker predicts that tablet shipments will surpass PCs this year, with the tablet market expected to hit a high of190 million shipment units -- year-on-year growth of 48.7%. The smartphone market is also expected to grow by 27.2%, while PC shipments are set top decrease by 4.3%.
This meteoric rise of mobile devices -- along with the cloud -- has resulted in the rise of the power worker. These workers have combined personal devices and services with those provided by the enterprise to create their own virtual workplace. They have personally selected a mixture of tools that ensure they are productive and work effectively regardless of the time, place or the task in hand. For enterprises, this presents a number or security and control issues.
In Huddle.com's Mobile Enterprise Landscape study, carried out by Ipsos MORI, 73% of U.S. office workers using enterprise-owned tablets download personal software and apps, while 52% use personal laptops, tablets and smartphones to store and work on enterprise content. So companies are presented with a security conundrum. As well as ensuring the safety of enterprise data when it leaves the company's four walls on mobile devices, companies need to also mitigate the risk of employees inadvertently downloading viruses or other malware their phones, tablets and laptops.
And when it comes to stashing enterprise content on personal laptops, tablets and smartphones, U.S. office workers aged 18–24 years old are the most likely culprits: 51% keep work documents on personal laptops, 42% store work files on personal smartphones and 11% keep enterprise documents on personal tablets. Given that millennials are not just tech literate, but used to using whatever technology they want to get their jobs done (as I mentioned in my previous post), this shouldn't come as a surprise. But how can the enterprise deal with this coexistence of devices in the workplace given that it's becoming the norm and not solely a generation issue? The answer lies in looking beyond the device.
Controlling devices is yesterday's problem. We have now moved beyond that and IT departments should now be looking at how to control the cloud tools and services being used. People are going to mix and match the devices they use and while organizations can retain control over enterprise-issued devices, there is little they can do about personal devices. You need to control where the information stems from and that means turning to enterprise-grade applications that combine usability with security measures such as granular permission, encryption in transit and at rest, and remote wipe capabilities.
The post-PC era is well and truly here and we now need to look beyond the device to securing the data in the cloud.
Alastair Mitchell is co-founder and CEO of Huddle.com.

BYOD is a major challenge for the enterprise. The enterprise content is always at threat to get leaked to the outside world. EFSS tools/ social collaboration could be the answer.

Marvin Emnes believes he did not get a fair chance at Swansea and has vowed to make up for lost time with Blackburn.
The Dutchman was a victim of Garry Monk's sacking at the Liberty Stadium and made just three appearances after the man that signed him left the Liberty Stadium.
Emnes feels he was not given a chance under the new regime and is now looking forward to resurrecting his career with Rovers after joining them on loan until January.
The winger has got off to a good start, scoring the only goal of the game as Rovers beat Accrington Stanley 1-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Tuesday, and he is hoping for more of the same going forward.
"It's been difficult, hard and busy (trying to find a new club), taking phone calls day in and day out, trying to make a decision," said Emnes.
"But I've made my decision now and I feel really good about it. I just want to get playing again.
"If you don't get a chance when you think you deserve it, it's quite difficult and hard. I just had to get on with it and now I've got a new chance and I'm happy with that.
"It's always a good thing if the manager wants you to come and play for him as it means you are going to play games. Now it's up to me to work hard, enjoy it, and get into the team."

HANOI (July 29, 2016) — Celebrities and leaders from across Vietnam are speaking out to save pangolins, the world's most-trafficked mammals, with the launch of a new WildAid campaign to be broadcast throughout the nation.
Native to Asia and Africa, pangolins are small insectivores that are unique among mammals for their large, overlapping scales made of keratin — the same protein found in human hair and fingernails. Consumer demand for pangolin scales (used in Traditional Chinese Medicine) as well as pangolin meat have led to rampant poaching to meet consumer demand in China and Vietnam.
Using WildAid's proven strategies to reduce consumer demand for shark fin, elephant ivory and rhino horn, the new campaign features a coalition of celebrities, government representatives, diplomats, business leaders and media partners who speak out against the pangolin trade and urge consumers not to buy pangolin products.
Continue reading ...
HONG KONG (July 24, 2016) — China COSCO Shipping Corporation Ltd., one of the world's largest cargo carriers, has announced that it will ban all shark fin shipments, joining a growing number of transport and logistics companies standing up against a brutal trade that kills millions of sharks annually.
Also known as "scaly anteaters," pangolins are small insectivores from Asia and Africa that are unique among mammals for their large, overlapping scales made of keratin — the same protein found in human hair and fingernails. Consumer demand for pangolin scales (used in Traditional Chinese Medicine) as well as pangolin meat have led to rampant poaching. In fact, the pangolin is considered by many to be the most-trafficked mammal on earth: All eight pangolin species are at risk of extinction.
According to a government press release issued Tuesday, officials seized 259 bags containing about 7 tons of suspected pangolin scales — more than the weight of the average African elephant. The scales were found via routine random inspection of a shipment arriving from Nigeria that had been falsely declared as "660 bags of recycled plastic particles."
We're excited to announce that WildAid has now partnered with the Machalilla wildlife hospital in Ecuador to provide comprehensive protection for sea turtles.
More than 2.5 billion people—approximately one-third of the global population—depend on fish for food and nutrition. That number is expected to double by 2050.
Unfortunately, 85% of the world's oceanic fisheries are fully exploited, over-exploited, or depleted. Additionally, illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU) takes as much as 33% of the world's total legal fish catch, costing us as much as $23 billion annually, which further threatens future productivity of the world's fishing stocks.
Many countries employ different tools to combat IUU, including setting catch limits and quotas for fisheries, providing bycatch reduction gear, zoning their marine areas, satellite monitoring and enforcement.
Recently, the United Nations made a historic first step in combatting IUU through the ratification of the Port State Measures Agreement. Originally signed in 2009 by the FAO, the Port State Measures Agreement required a minimum of 25 countries to ratify the agreement for it to take effect.

The larger glass model or black model will fit full size Keurig brewers.
If you're like us and want as much counter space for your other kitchen needs - having K-Cups lying around on your kitchen counters or even a carousel that holds K-Cups just takes up space. We found this Deluxe Glass Coffee Drawer for Keurig Single Serve Kcups that holds 35 K-Cups, and we're pretty excited. It features a beveled frosted glass shelf that cleans up easily if you spill a little coffee, and the easy glide drawer holds 35 K-Cups. It will fit most Keurig, Breville, Mr. Coffee, and Cusinart Machines.
One thing to note - if you store your Keurig brewer under a cabinet, the coffee drawer may make it too high to open the Keurig brewer easily. We think the coffee drawer will work best with single serve coffee brewers placed on an island or not under a cabinet.
We received one of the glass models (thanks Steve), and the construction and coffee drawer work well. There is even a mini-version for the smaller Mini Keurig Brewer, and a model in black instead of a glass top.

Have you ever heard of Bear Naked all natural granola products? I hadn't! When I put in my zip code, I found 7 stores within 20 miles of my home! Target and Winn Dixie both carry Bear Naked. Plus, you can find them at Amazon! Isn't it amazing how things are right in our backyard? Until I was contacted about reviewing Bear Naked on my blog, I had never heard of the products.
If you are reading this via feed reader, you will need to click on over to my site to see my kids giving Bear Naked their taste test. 🙂
I mentioned on the video that I was sent the Granola but I didn't have the boys try it. I want to make something with it and their website has recipes! In fact, I am thinking the Bear Naked Peanut Butter Wrap would be divine! 🙂 Also, I wanted to mention that in the pitch for my In The Kitchen With Kelli Series, Bear Naked's PR said,
As your articles will run in June, Bear Naked will have two new timely innovations for you to share with your readers. In June, Bear Naked will launch trail mixes and cookies- just as delicious and nutritious as the other all-natural foods.
Oh man!! I want to try the cookies. 🙂
Sorry for the boxes you see in the picture. 🙂 I had pulled out my received reviews to be sure I had everything on my schedule. 🙂
For more info, promotions, and yummy recipes be sure to visit Bear Naked's website, FaceBook, and Twitter. 🙂

In celebration of Earth Day 2014, we'd like to present to you the recipient of this year's iPhone Life Earth Day Mobile Tech Award. Today we are highlighting three environmentally-conscious tech brands (one winner and two runners-up) that are actively making a difference in how we live life in harmony with our home planet. Each company has made their own contributions toward making the world a "greener" place with their eco-friendly products and practices. Read on to find out who gets to take home the honors...
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
Winner: Apple
Apple's environmentally and ecologically sensitive business practices and standards have made them a global ambassador for sustainable, Earth-friendly technology and energy conservation. With numerous accolades coming from the likes of the Environmental Protection Agency and Greenpeace, and the recent hiring of Lisa Jackson, former Chief of the EPA, Apple certainly looks to continue its bold moves as they continue to lead the way in clean, renewable, green energy.
It is worth mentioning that not that long ago it would have been unheard of for a company that was so focused on being powered by 100 percent renewable energy, to also be the world's most profitable brand. Green energy and energy conservation have come a long way in the years since Apple has begun dominating the global markets, and it's thanks in large part to companies like Apple, and their willingness to pioneer uncharted territory, that we can say that.
Runner Up: House of Marley
Here at iPhone Life, we've been big fans of House of Marley for years now. Not only is this brand the brainchild of one of reggae legend Bob Marley's sons, Mr. Rohan Marley, it is also a company that continuously demonstrates its commitment to building its brand upon a solid foundation of environmentally-friendly manufacturing and a pay-it-forward business ethic.
Their large selection of iDevice-oriented gear includes elegant FSC certified wood Bluetooth speakers, headphones and earphones that deliver audio quality worthy of a family of world-famous musicians, and carryalls made from primarily recycled (or as Rohan calls it, "upcycled") materials. In fact, all of House of Marley's products incorporate a great deal of upcycled materials into their designs. House of Marley is a company that makes exceptional accessories that are available at a wide-range of price points, and there's likely something in their catalog that would fit into most anyone's budget. Another commendable aspect to House of Marley is that they donate a percentage of their profits to 1Love.org, the global non-profit charitable organization established by Bob Marley's widow, Rita Marley. If you're looking for a source of eco-friendly, conscientious lifestyle accessories, House of Marley is good place to check out. They are blazing the trail when it comes to a business model that prioritizes the manufacture of high-quality gear, while still putting the preservation and conservation of earth's natural resources front and center.
Runner Up: Goal Zero
You may have heard about Goal Zero in connection to the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. In the wake of the storm, Goal Zero donated approximately $600,000 worth of their rugged solar charges and lights to some of the people hardest hit. Goal Zero has also been charitably involved in the desert southwest with their Nothern Navajo Nation Solar Project, bringing electricity and solar charging capabilities the the Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation where over 18,000 households are without electricity and commonly rely on kerosene for light and single-use batteries for power. They've certainly earned our respect for their charitable endeavors. Goal Zero makes gear that lets people enjoy the conveniences of modern technology while off the grid. From solar panels that recharge your devices and gear via USB, to rechargeable speakers and hand cranked, USB-charging camp lights, Goal Zero is making a name for themselves as a pioneer in the field of alternatively powered chargers, battery inverters, and off-grid living solutions.

New for 2014!
So you've got a new crowdfunding effort going on Kickstarter, IndieGoGo or a similar platform? Very cool, and I'm glad you've thought of The Rock Father now that it's come time to promote it. In the first few years of doing this site, I've heard from hundreds of eager crowdfunders looking for help in bringing exposure to their projects. Some that have been featured here on THE ROCK FATHER have successfully met their goals, while many have not. In three years since launching THE ROCK FATHER, coupled with my experience as editor of a couple of other sites in the years prior, I recently made the decision that crowdfunding is not news.
No matter what the project, at the end of the day, approaching me to post a "news item" on your Kickstarter (or similar) effort is asking me to help someone that I don't know ask other people (my readers) for money. That said, my time is valuable, and going forward, all crowdfunding efforts will fall into the same general category of a "sponsored post" or "advertorial."
I will gladly consider featuring your project if it fits within what I usually do here on The Rock Father, and if it's of interest to me. This is completely at my editorial discretion, which means that few will likely be given the opportunity to be featured in my virtual pages for a nominal fee (again, on a case-by-case basis). I do not feature many crowdfunding projects, and when I do, it needs to be something that I'm genuinely interested in first and foremost.
If interested in submitting your project for potential coverage, please email james [at] therockfather.com

Pizza Hut Launches New 'Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza'
It's about time Pizza Hut figured out a way to shove more cheese into a pizza. This makes stuffed crust pizzas look cowardly, even wimpy! George posted earlier about Little Caesar's new Detroit-style deep dish, but I think this new item from Pizza Hut will make that deep dish simply look shallow!
