Following is a transcript of an interview conducted on October 14, 2001 by
Fr. Frank Pavone with Fr. Norman Weslin, founder of the Lambs of Christ, a
peaceful, direct-action effort to save babies from abortion. Fr. Weslin is
scheduled for a prison sentence to begin on October 18, but -- as you will see
below -- not for doing anything violent or immoral.
Fr. Frank Pavone:
Father, a lot of pro-life people ask me how you're doing; just tell us first
of all, generally, personally how you've been these days.
Fr. Norman Weslin:
Well very good, I might be feeling better here in a few days. On Thursday
[October 18, 2001] I get sentenced to a Federal prison for praying at a sidewalk
in Buffalo and the food is good in Federal prisons.
Fr. Pavone: Is it?
Fr. Weslin:
Yes, I usually try to go off my fast and they give you a variety of foods and
the standards are high in a Federal prison.
Fr. Pavone:
Now for people who don't understand the nature of this case, could you
summarize for us why exactly is it that you would be sent to prison?
Well, Judge Arcara, the Federal Judge with his headquarters in Buffalo, NY
has an injunction out that requires that we, primarily Catholics and the
Protestant hard core there, that we stay away, sixty feet away from the
entrances so that we will not be able to tell the ladies going in that what
they're about to destroy
is not an appendix, not a blob of tissue but in fact a baby created by Jesus
Christ. And as a priest I represent the 61.5 million Catholics in the Country
objecting to the arrogance of having a 60 foot stay away zone so that we can't
talk to these young ladies who have been duped into thinking that it is indeed a
blob of tissue.
So, I broke that injunction twelve times, once in Rochester and eleven times
in Buffalo, but only after we had a legal opinion stating that that was my
constitutional right to do that. There was nothing arrogant on our part, we're
simply testing this and hoping we would get convicted at this level, which I
was, I was convicted already and I'll be sentenced on Thursday. We were
convicted and now it'll go into the appellate court.
I was praying on my knees with my vestments on so all that passed by would
know that this was representative of the Roman Catholic Church praying silently,
and then I exorcised the building without talking to any passers-by or resisting
or doing anything with police or any of the other things that are associated
with this. So, they wouldn't arrest me for the first twelve times but then on
the last time, on the twelfth time they sent the Federal Marshalls over and
summoned me into court and then the process developed. This strategy obviously
now is to keep me under litigation as a leader in the pro-life movement, leader
of the Lambs of Christ, so that while under litigation, I wouldn't be able to do
any activities there in front of killing centers and get arrested because that
would destroy our own attorney's cases.
We have 15 top level attorney's around the country headed up by Larry
Washburn and represented in court on the scene by the Federal attorney John
Malloy and also Gabe Kralik, now in Los Angeles is the one who wrote up our case
and has a very good case. So we are very hopeful in the appellate courts. We
think that this will go before the Supreme Court and allow all of us across the
country to come right up to the doors as American citizens and talk to the young
ladies going in and tell them that yes, indeed that's a baby that you're
carrying there and you should rethink and reconsider and not kill your baby.
Father, sometimes people say to me, shouldn't it be the lay people who are
out in the front lines doing these things for the unborn and shouldn't we
priests simply be kind of in the background encouraging them but you obviously
have been very much on the front lines. What would you say about the specific
role of the priest in the pro-life movement?
To do just that, Fr. Frank, to be up front, to lead the people, not to sit
behind the people and say "you go ahead and do this and I'll orchestrate it from
the back" or "I'll be behind you on a big white horse." The priest is the
Jesus Christ is a contradiction to the world. We priests are slaves to all
the people. You wake us up at 2 o'clock in the morning to hear your confession,
we have to get up. What the contradiction is, is that Jesus Christ uses his
slaves as is leaders. All through history this has been the case. With the first
Twelve Apostles, they were the first Bishops, they are the leaders. We Catholics
work according to this hierarchical system of the Bishops, we do what the
Bishops tell us and we do what the Cardinals tell us and we do what the Pope
tells us. The people do what the Priest tells us, we are that type of people, it
doesn't work that way in other religions. They're elected by the people so the
ministers there have an obligation to please the people in order to get elected
again the next time. We don't do that; we follow God's monolithic system of
going down through one Pope, one Bishop, one Priest, one Pastor of a parish, a
missionary priest like myself.
That's what I am, I'm in the Oblates of Wisdom and my work is to go all
around the country and internationally if necessary to try to stop the killing
of the babies. And people follow me. People follow me into jail unquestionably
because I'm a priest. If I were not a priest I would not have anywhere near the
validity and the credibility that I have to lead people into jail but they do,
they follow me and we get attacked as a result of it. We priests get attacked
ferociously in the monetary area, in the obedience area, they attack us in the
sexual area, all over, so that they can discredit the priest because the
opposition, Planned Parenthood hates us with a passion and so does Satan, which
is so very good. Satan is a loser and the Blessed Mother is a twelve Star
General and Satan leaves with his tail between his legs when she comes around.
What do you hope to do after you serve whatever sentence you'll have to serve
in the coming weeks? What do you hope to do after that?
Well, I'm going to be doing a lot of preaching. I have a commitment now to
preach…and I need to write another book. I've written a book on the gathering of
the Lambs, while I was in prison last time in McKeon prison in Pennsylvania and
I would really like to write another book on the mystical theology of the victim
soul, becoming a victim. We don't fight back, the Lambs are non-violent, the
Lambs of Christ are not violent. We have never been violent over all the twenty
years that we've worked. We get beat up, blood is all over the place sometimes.
Many times there are good Catholic family cops and they know why we're out there
and they have children of their own but sometimes the police think that they
have a duty to cause blood to flow and they beat us up pretty well.
And when you do preach in a Parish, what are you asking the people to do? I
think sometimes people are afraid that we're asking them to break the law. Tell
us in a summary fashion what is it that you would actually like people in the
pews to do in response to your message?
Yes, Fr. Frank, it would be to ask the people to come out into the streets in
large crowds. That sends the message and that also prevents the people from
going through a normal kill day where they kill about forty of our children.
When I go out and preach Masses and retreats and the rallies, I'm not
asking people to come out and risk arrest. There are other times when we will
because that's civil disobedience and that's very much American peace and apple
pie, that's what Martin Luther King used, that's what Mahatma Gandhi used. But
normally now we come out in large crowds and that's what I'm asking the people
to do, to come out and to send the message and also to even demonstrate in the
streets carrying picket signs, saying the Rosary which is so powerful for us. We
have Rosary Crusades, we have Our Lady of Guadalupe, Who is so powerful in the
streets, She is our patroness.
These things, this is what I ask to do when I go to preach at Masses and
rallies but people look with disdain sometimes at going to jail but that's what
Jesus Christ did. Jesus Christ went to jail. All of his Apostles went to jail
and they were martyred and they did not look at this as a passive way of
bringing people into Christianity. It was a very active, dynamic, moving thing
where you read in St. Paul where he was lowered out of a window in order to
escape the authorities. Peter was hung upside down. He was heading for the
catacombs when Jesus turned him around and said Peter, where are you going? and
[Peter] told Him he was going to hide out in the catacombs and Jesus said, no I
have need for you in the city, in Rome, so he turned around went back -- and
this was a very active, dynamic Christianity.
Jesus Christ was no wimp, He was active He walked many miles through the
sand, He defied the authorities, He called the authorities hypocrites, broods of
vipers, white washed sepulchres, He was no mamby-pamby. He said if you are
lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth. This was the active Jesus Christ who
was a very gentle, loving man who was unafraid, of course He's God. He never
used His divinity as something to be grasped at, He did all this in his humanity
so that He could be exactly like us so that forever all mankind would know that
Jesus Christ, yes He did, He came down to redeem us, to be one of us
authentically not just by name. He came down and suffered what He knew we would
suffer but He suffered to a far greater extent then we did and He still suffers.
This is something we forget. He's still suffering for us because He's still
losing souls to Satan; they're being seduced by short-term pleasures on this
earth, killing our children, my gracious.
In the tragedy that just happened on September 11th with the Twin Towers and
the Pentagon and Pittsburgh, using our own people as bombs and missiles to
destroy these things. That was six thousand people but what we forget was their
were also 4,400 babies that died on that day and that makes 10,400 people who
died there and Fr. Frank your task being done so beautifully is to remind people
that we must not forget. When the pilots rode on the bombs that were going into
Afghanistan to the NYPD, we remember. That's what you're telling people is that
we have to remember that these children are children of God. They are Jesus
Christ's creation, they are His children, the mother and the father cooperated
with Jesus Christ in the creation. It was Him that selected the genetic makeup
by selecting the one sperm from the 240 million available sperm to unite to that
one egg to become a unique creation, different from everyone else.
Father, their are many different groups in the pro-life movement and you have
been in the pro-life movement for a long time. What do you think right now at
this point in history are some of the most important things for the pro-life
movement to do or what have we learned that now we can do better?
To communicate -- and that's what you're doing. Never before have we had
anything reaching out with all the communication tentacles to all the parts of
the world, internationally even. To let people know that this is a baby that
we're talking about and it's not just a blob of tissue. I think we need to
become more active --that's the other thing, and that will come as a result of
communications because there are people out there who really want to do
something and they say I just really don't know what to do.
That's our task, that's the priest form the pulpit, we must tell the people
from the pulpit, you need to come out now and you need to come out into the
streets and you need to come out and to be active and follow your priests. The
priest will go if necessary -- if it comes to that point -- without being
violent and without actively resisting arrest, we would lead the people into
jail, priests would. I've been in prison with four and five priests at a time,
who really know that this is what Jesus Christ did and this is what the Apostles
did and this is what I need to do… We need to rescue these babies with an
activism that the world won't forget.
President Bush is now responding to the terrorist attack by precisely those
means. He is becoming very active to the point of saying we are selectively
destroying those things that support terrorism. We need to come in and resist
those areas that support Planned Parenthood which is the biggest baby octopus
killer in the world today that is destroying our children It's a reality that
they are destroying our children. People have a tendency to forget that because
they are not being told by us, by the priests.
Now what is it like in jail?
Sometimes good, sometimes not so good, Father. As I mentioned about the
Federal prisons, they have high standards, they treat you as humans. But in some
other prisons on the other side of the coin there is blood all over the floor
and there are horrendous conditions.
One time in Houston, John Broderick, our attorney, came up and asked the
guards if he could speak to me and the guards said no. Their were three big
huskies there and then John came up with his hand as a greeting and I came up
with a five hand and I felt the Eucharist -- he was a Eucharistic Minister. So I
quickly took the Eucharist and I put it in my mouth and the guard saw me and
said "get him", so they jumped me and broke my glasses and put me to the floor
and handcuffed me behind my back and started ripping my lips apart trying to get
the Eucharist out of my mouth. But you know once you close your mouth it is
almost impossible to open your mouth so they weren't able to do that. So they
stripped me naked and threw me out into the main corridor as an example to show
the people what they do to priests.
In Connecticut they beat us so that there was blood all over the place.
People with all the skin ripped off their chest from dragging them over, a nylon
type floor. This type of thing. But the Blessed Mother is always there with us
in prison. That's what makes it so nice, you always see Her divine set up. She
is always so close to people who are being put in prison for trying to stop the
killing of Her babies. And if you look at it with this perspective it's cause to
be happy always while you're sitting on a drunk tank bench.
One short anecdote was in Chicago. Normally, when you come into prison they
take away our Rosaries and our Scapulars. Well then we make toilet paper
rosaries and we would thread toilet paper into a cord and one not is for the
Hail Mary and two knots if for the Our Father and I had one decade made and a
guard came in and came over and he grabbed my rosary and I said, "Hey, that's my
Rosary, I pray on that", he says, "Well not here" and I said, "We're Catholics
and we pray everywhere" and he said, "Well I'm an atheist and you are not going
to pray here." I said, "Well that's not gonna do you any good because as soon as
you leave we're just going to make another toilet paper rosary". So he went all
around the drunk tank and he picked up all the toilet paper rolls, took them all
out of the drunk tank. And as he was leaving the door I was showing my hand to
him. The Hail Mary on this fingers and on this thumb I was saying the Our
Father, you can't stop us Catholics were going to be here forever.
So then he went and got a psychiatrist and the psychiatrist came over to me
and asked, "Are you having any suicidal tendencies lately". I said "No, not
lately". So he said, "Anyone commit suicide in your family" and I said "no". I
said, "Are you a Catholic?" and he said "yes". "What is it that you have against
a Catholic Priest saying the rosary?" He didn't have an answer; he looked at me
for about a full minute. I guess he never thought about that, then he turned
away. The atheist kept following me around and he locked me up in a cellblock
upstairs. An abandoned cell block with nobody up there in 16 cells. I guess he
was trying to intimidate the Catholic Priest, the leader, trying to make us
plead for mercy or something like that. But we've been through that too many
times we weren't intimidated by that.
And the other thing that happened, this is the Blessed Lady working again, he
brought me up at a quarter to twelve midnight and he left and at one minute
after midnight he had to come back and get me and he said pack your stuff. I
didn't have any stuff but that's always what they tell you when you have to
leave then it became aware to me that the judge sentenced us to two days. One
was the day we were in the drunk tank and the other was one minute after
midnight. He had to release me sixteen minutes after being in that. That was the
Blessed Lady, She's so beautiful. She releases us and the District Attorney's,
they just can't understand what's going on but when She opens that door it's
open and we go home.
What can individual pro-lifers do to help you personally if they want to
assist you or support you?
They can actively come and join me in the preaching assignments. This helps
out considerably. If they come with me and organize teams we can formulate large
crowds. If we had a team that was able to work with individuals on what we do
and dispel the myth that the opposition tries to set up about us, Planned
Parenthood. That is an effective thing.
There are others then who are in a position where they don't have to support
a family or they don't have large assets so they can't be sued so they can
follow me in the Lambs of Christ and we move from place to place and the people
of each town always take care of us. They take care of the food, they take care
of the place to stay, they take care of the transportation, they take care of
everything -- all the people in town take care of the Lambs. We've always been
taken care of and those are the people who are devoted to Jesus Christ, many of
them are consecrated souls. They can help in that way.
The other thing is to be able to in the numbers category, is to come out in
large crowds on a given day as set up by the Lambs of Christ or by whatever
capacity I'm working. We would have key lay leaders, who would then organize
small groups, who would all come together on a given day and come with 4,5,10,
people outside of the killing center to send the message by a crowd, we don't
have to block the door then, we don't have to super glue the locks, we don't
have to drive an old wreck of a car up against the door to keep it locked to
keep the killer out. We could by the virtue of the crowd being there itself and
saying the rosaries and invoking God's power and love and by exercising the
building and the demons that are there.
There are demons too and some don't believe there are demons there and their
are good reliable saints who said if [demons] had form, the sky would be black
amongst us with all the demons that are around the place. Anyway, we look
through the theological end and we see these things where others don't. That's
how the people can respond to what we're saying, they can come out in large
crowds and that sends a message. We did this for Bishop Moynihan, we pulled out
a lot of people in Syracuse and other states, Bishop Sullivan, Cardinal O'connor
just loved what we do, Bishop Vaughan, he was one of us, he was out there, he
said that was the only show in town that he had to do that. He died now. It
looks like the lord is taking our leaders. He's taken Mother Teresa, He's taken
Cardinal O'Connor, He's taken Bishop Vaughan, He's taken Fr. Hardon, so it's all
up to you now Frank.
Well thanks very much Father for sharing your thoughts and we'll share these
thoughts with others who can certainly learn from it and draw inspiration from
what you've done.

McLaren won't suffer repeat of tyre woes in 2013 - Button

- Tyres

- Jenson Button
- Teams:
- McLaren
Jenson Button is confident Pirelli's 2013 tyres will not cause him the same kind of problems as the 2012 ones did this year.
Button won the first and final races of the season this year, but struggled to keep the tyres in their working range midway through the season. He scored just seven points in the six races between Bahrain and Great Britain as he struggled to find a working setup and his championship chances were derailed as a result.
However, after testing Pirelli's 2013 development tyre during practice for the Brazilian Grand Prix, Button is confident he won't suffer a repeat next season.
"One thing that's very different with the tyre is how it works with warm-up," he said. "That's something we've struggled with and a lot of the teams have struggled with this year - actually getting the tyre into its working range. I think some teams have been there or above the working range, but it's difficult to stay in the working range."
Talking about the 2013 tyres he said: "This tyre, I think, has got a much wider working range and that's going to make it much easier to get the tyre working from the start of the season. We've had to change our car a lot to get it working on the 2012 tyres when normally you'd be working on development.
"So it has hurt us quite a bit year and I don't think that will be the case next year after doing one run on them. You get a feeling that it's back to the tyres of old and they're also directional, which is difference from the previous Pirelli tyres. It feels like it's working well. I think we're going to get high degradation, but I think we'll get the tyre working very quickly."

Give the gift of life — Facts on organ donation
April is National Donate Life Month, an opportunity to renew the commitment to save lives through organ and tissue donation. Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA), the Kentucky Circuit Court Clerk Association, and many Kentucky hospitals are hosting events to recognize the importance of donation.
Though nearly 1.3 million Kentucky residents over 18 have joined the Kentucky Organ Donor Registry, we can do better. The need for organ and tissue donors is on the rise and is a public health crisis.
How many people are waiting for an organ transplant?
More than 117,000 people nationally, including more than 919 in Kentucky, are currently waiting for an organ transplant. About 134 people are added to the waiting list each day — one every 10 minutes.
Although approximately 77 organ transplants take place every day, on average, 18 patients die each day while waiting because the organ they needed did not become available in time.
At UK HealthCare, 155 patients received organ transplants in 2012, with many of these patients receiving multiple organs.
What is the difference between organ and tissue donation?
Organ donation involves the transplantation of solid organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and pancreas. However, tissue donation is also extremely important. More than 1 million tissue transplants are done nationally each year, and the surgical need for tissue has been steadily rising.
Examples of tissue that can be donated include skin, bone, heart valves, blood vessels, and even corneas. These donated tissues can make a huge difference in the quality of life for many patients.
What is "living donation"?
While most donations will take place after the donor is deceased, it is possible for a living person to donate some organs or tissues. The most common is living kidney donation — because humans have two kidneys, it is possible for a person to donate one kidney. Additionally, lobes of the liver or lungs can be given by a living donor. Tissues that can be donated by a living donor include skin, bone marrow and blood stem cells.
Most living donations take place between family or close friends, but sometimes they do take place between complete strangers.
How can I become an organ donor?
The best way to become an organ donor is to join the Organ Donor Registry. You can do this at the DMV when you renew your driver's license, or join online anytime at Donatelifeky.org.
A single donor can save or improve the lives of more than 50 people through organ and tissue donation. It only takes minutes to join the registry, and your decision could give the gift of life to a patient in dire need.
UK HealthCare and KODA will celebrate this month with an exhibit from 5-8 p.m. on April 19 at Lexington Central Library during the Gallery Hop. The exhibit features life-size canvases created by eight UK transplant recipients that showcase their journey and honor their donors.

Stocks slide on government shutdown worries
Updated at 4:07 p.m. ET
NEW YORK Stocks sank Monday as Wall Street worried that a budget fight in Washington could lead to something much worse for the economy -- a failure to raise the nation's borrowing limit.
It has become all but certain that the federal government will partially shut down for the first time in 17 years Tuesday because Congress and the White House have failed to reach an agreement to fund federal spending.
But investors are looking beyond that first impasse because any hit the economy and markets take should be temporary if the shutdown is short. The bigger worry is the problem with the debt ceiling, they say.
"The concern is government has become so polarized that if they cannot pass (a budget), there's a greater chance that the debt ceiling battle will go to the brink or possibly lead to a default," said Alec Young, global equity strategist with S&P Capital IQ.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said last week that the government would run out of borrowing authority by roughly Oct. 17. The last time the debt ceiling issue came up in August 2011, it led to Standard & Poor's downgrading the United States' credit rating and the Dow Jones industrial average went through nearly three weeks of nauseating triple-digits moves almost daily.
On Monday, the Dow dropped 129 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at 15,130. The Standard & Poor's 500 slid 10 points to 1,682, and the Nasdaq composite dropped 10 points to 3,771.
There is a simple reason why the budget battle -- and, more importantly, the fight over the debt ceiling -- are so important: The credit of the United States is the bedrock that nearly every other investment is built upon, due largely on the assumption that the nation will always pay its debts.
The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note is used to value mortgages, corporate bonds, and even stock dividends. If domestic and foreign investors begin to question whether the U.S. will pay its debts, it could throw every other investment out of alignment.
"It's a threat to the center of the global financial system that even a small worry can have very large ramifications to all," said Jake Lowery, fixed income portfolio manager at ING U.S. Investment Management.
On Monday, a partial shutdown appeared imminent. With just hours before a midnight deadline to reach a deal on federal funding, Congress and the White House appeared no closer to an agreement.
A short shutdown isn't a worry for investors, but the threat of a longer one is a big concern for Wall Street.
A partial federal government shutdown lasting two weeks could slice off 0.3 percent points off U.S. gross domestic product, according to a report by Macroeconomic Advisers. That is because hundreds of thousands of federal workers will go without a paycheck. Although in previous government shutdowns Congress passed legislation to provide pay to federal workers retroactively, restoring that growth to U.S GDP, that is not a certainty this time around.

To the casual observer, recent security tensions in Asian waters might seem a storm in a Chinese teacup. The spectacle of opposing vessels – often motley flotillas of civilian patrol boats, fishing trawlers and survey ships – jostling near contested reefs, rocks and islets in the South and East China seas is the kind of activity that was likened back in Cold War days to a game of 'nautical chicken'. Surely, in an age of economic interdependence and nuclear weapons, this petty posturing wouldn't lead to great-power war?
Yet such wishful thinking ignores the real dangers of Asia's China-centric maritime incidents. In the absence of effective mechanisms for crisis-management and confidence-building, these events are increasing in frequency and intensity. The harassment by Chinese civilian vessels of the USNS Impeccable in 2009 presaged a serious set of encounters in 2010, including North Korea's sinking of the Cheonan and a diplomatic crisis between China and Japan over the ramming of a Japanese customs vessel near the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu islands.
Though major power tensions have eased somewhat in 2011, encounters have continued. Chinese helicopters have continued to 'buzz' Japanese naval units, even in the sensitive period following Japan's earthquake and tsunami. In March, a Philippine survey ship was shadowed and harassed by Chinese patrol boats, eliciting formal diplomatic protests from Manila. More recently, in May and June, Chinese patrol boats have allegedly severed seismic cables aboard Vietnamese vessels operating near disputed territories in the South China Sea. Washington has weighed in, particularly with signals of reassurance to its ally Manila – prompting Chinese warnings about fanning flames and getting burned.Enjoying this article?

At the weekend, Sino-US and Sino-Vietnamese talks seem to have put a lid on the simmering tensions. And the chance that such incidents will lead to major military clashes shouldn't be overstated. But each encounter involves risks, however small, of miscalculation and casualties. As the number and tempo of incidents increases, so does the likelihood that an episode will escalate to armed confrontation, diplomatic crisis or possibly even conflict. An accumulation of incidents could also play into a wider deterioration of relations among major powers, with dangerous implications for regional peace and stability.
The Mystery of Motives
Due in large part to the secrecy that shrouds Chinese defence policy, analysts and policymakers seeking to understand Chinese-initiated maritime incidents face the critical problem of trying to work out why each event has happened. Chinese maritime harassment, of course, may be carried out for a number of direct purposes: to intimidate, test resolve and reactions, assert territorial boundaries, collect photographic intelligence, or disrupt the activities of the target vessel, be they intelligence collection, seabed exploration or military exercises.
But is it politically motivated, instigated at the highest echelons of political leadership in Beijing? Does it come from senior levels within the People's Liberation Army, acting without civilian sanction or direction? Does it reflect positioning for influence in PLA doctrinal debates, or perhaps contests for career advancement? Is it essentially a decision by a local PLA unit commander, or indeed the spontaneous action of a reckless naval officer or pilot? Are other agencies, such as maritime auxiliaries, playing their own assertive games? Or is there a large measure of miscommunication or simple accident at work? Almost any answer carries disturbing implications about China's ability to control the risks along its perilous maritime edge.

Given that Stack Exchange sites ban on IP, I wonder if there's a common opinion or strategy about making rules based on a user's IP in order to dictate behaviors.
With IPv4, you've got a few things you can fairly reliably assume about a given IP:
- IPs that share a subnet could very well be the same user
- while IPs can be reused for various actual endpoints, it's relatively unlikely that you'll see duplicate connections from an IP that are not the same user, or at the very least the same household/organization (basically, a shared connection)
- it's not trivially easy for a user to obtain a new public IP (there is a medium-sized barrier to entry here)
With IPv6, can you assume all of this? I would imagine at the very least the second point would not be true anymore since NAT'ing is supposed to essentially go away with IPv6 because there will be enough IPs for anyone who wants one.
If you have an IP-based set of policies in place, what considerations need to be made for IPv6 if any because of the differences in the two?

Recruitment specialist backs job hot spot claims
JP SMITH Recruitment and HR director Jamie Smith agrees with a Suncorp Bank report lauding Toowoomba as the nation's employment hotspot.
But he has remained realistic about the region's employment situation, offering insight into the factors which can hinder Toowoomba's jobseekers as they try to get their careers going.
Mr Smith said it was generally not difficult to find work for skilled people in Toowoomba.
"However, it is fair to say that Toowoomba salaries are significantly lower than Brisbane salaries for professionals," Mr Smith said.
"Sometimes, up to 30 per cent lower.
"This can make it difficult to attract talent to the area."
His company spent a lot of time dealing with people from outside the region wanting to find work in Toowoomba.
"There are those within Australia who are looking to make that tree change, as opposed to sea change and are wanting to bring their career to Toowoomba but also have a family friendly atmosphere.
"We get a lot of enquiries from people in the accounting and legal professions as well as engineering in this regard.
"The other category is those people from outside of Australia who are wanting to get here.
"A very broad range of people apply but unfortunately, due to immigration rules, it is very difficult to get them in."
He said employment in oil and gas developments to Toowoomba's west was complimented by jobs in the agriculture sector.
Despite this, he suspected people who lacked professional skills had probably found it harder to gain employment in the past few years.
"A number of the large industries have closed down or are in the process of closing down including KR and the foundry.
"There have also been slowdowns in other industries due to the high Australian dollar which has had a direct impact on businesses that export.
"However, semi skilled and professional people continue to find good, solid opportunities in the region and I believe it has probably become easier due to the growth in Toowoomba and its new-found diversity.
"There is no doubt that Toowoomba is a thriving economy that, in general, doesn't have the peaks or troughs of a metropolitan area.
"Rather, it just steadily but solidly increases in prosperity."

Never Summer Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Never Summer Wilderness (map) in 1980 and it now has a total of 20,847 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Colorado and is managed by the Forest Service. The Never Summer Wilderness is bordered by the Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness to the east.
DescriptionAs its name suggests, Never Summer Wilderness gets hit with large amounts of rain and snow that collect on its storm-wracked peaks, which offer relatively gentle terrain and bear names that hint at their cloud-kissed heights: Cirrus, Cumulus, Stratus, and Nimbus. Seventeen summits rise above 12,000 feet, with Howard Mountain towering over all at 12,810 feet. Never Summer supplies water to three main rivers: the Colorado, the North Platte, and the Cache la Poudre. In damp gulches above 10,000 feet trees absorb the abundant moisture and grow old and exceptionally large. Spruce and fir in Bowen Gulch have been measured at four feet in diameter and estimated at 600 years in age, and the Bowen Gulch Trail will take you about five miles into the oldest of the old growth. In the northern section, a series of ponds and bogs provide rare habitats for species seldom seen so far from north-country muskegs: wood frogs, bog bean, pygmy shrew, perhaps even a wolverine or two. Moose have been reintroduced and are faring well. Several lakes and streams shelter trout. Straddling the Continental Divide, Never Summer has about 20 miles of trails that lead up gulches and cross the divide on two high passes.

Scott Servais knew what he was getting himself into when he took over the Angels scouting and player development departments two years ago.
The farm system he inherited was ranked as the worst in Major League Baseball by Baseball America. Two years of ill-advised trades had left the team with no minor league depth and two winters of big free-agent signings had left it void of a first-round draft pick for two years. The Angels also had virtually no presence in Latin America, a hotbed for talent.
To Servais, the situation felt familiar.
"That's exactly where we started in Texas," said Servais, the Angels' assistant general manager, who helped take the Rangers' player development system from No. 28 to No. 1 in five seasons. "We recognized where we were at. So I've been there."
On Monday, the Angels also recognized where they were at — in fourth place, 13 games back in the American League West — and began laying the foundation for what they hope will be their minor league renaissance. They traded veteran left-handed reliever Scott Downs to the Atlanta Braves for right-hander Cory Rasmus, a triple-A prospect 12 years younger.
The trade came one day after the Angels put slugger Albert Pujols on the disabled list, and it could be taken as a sign that the organization is waving the white flag on this season. If so, General Manager Jerry Dipoto may move more pieces from his big league roster to restock the bare cupboards in the minor leagues, just as the Rangers once did.
But it won't be as easy in Anaheim as it was in Arlington.
For starters, the Angels, with a number of lucrative, long-term contracts, are built to win now. The Rangers, on the other hand, sacrificed performance at the big league level over several seasons to rebuild their farm system. Texas finished an average of 16 games out of first place in the AL West in the four seasons before 2010, when it won the division and reached the World Series for the first time in franchise history.
Then the Rangers spent lavishly. In 2011, Servais' last year in Texas, the Rangers invested $8.4 million on two 16-year-old outfield prospects from the Dominican Republic. And six weeks after Servais left, the team spent $111.7 million to land Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish.
Further complicating things for the Angels is that the game has changed since then, with new rules limiting what a team can spend on bonuses. The Angels had $2.998 million to use on its 37 picks in the amateur draft and less than $2 million on its international free agents this summer, a fraction of what the Rangers spent.
"It was a little bit easier to do back then," Servais said. "You can still get it done, but it won't be as easy to turn it around quick. It's going to take some time."
The Angels' farm system was ranked as the best in the sport in 2005, the middle of a period in which it signed and developed 11 players who were on April's opening-day roster. Since then, it hasn't so much withered on the vine as it has been systematically dismantled.
Over the last three years, the Angels traded away pitching prospects Patrick Corbin and Tyler Skaggs to the Arizona Diamondbacks along with minor league infielders Alexi Amarista and Jean Segura, who are everyday players for the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers, respectively. Corbin and Segura were All-Stars this year with Corbin ranking among the top four in the National League in victories (12) and earned-run average (2.24), and Segura was seventh in the NL in hitting through Sunday.
Of the players the Angels got back in those deals, only closer Ernesto Frieri remains with the club. And efforts to replace those prospects have been hampered by the signings of free agents Pujols, C.J. Wilson and Josh Hamilton the last two off-seasons, which left the Angels without a first-round pick in each of the last two drafts.
Internationally, the Angels — who signed and developed Latin players such as Ervin Santana, Erick Aybar, Kendrys Morales and Alberto Callaspo as well as Segura and Amarista over a seven-year span — disappeared after former general manager Tony Reagins fired international scouting supervisor Clay Daniel in 2009 in the wake of a baseball-wide bonus-skimming scandal.
In an effort to rebuild the team's presence in Latin America, Dipoto moved the team out of its dilapidated Dominican facility near San Pedro de Macoris and into a modern baseball academy outside Bolsa Chica in May. And six months before that he hired Carlos Gomez, with whom he had worked while with the Diamondbacks, as the team's international scouting director.
But it could be another three or four years before any of Servais' draft picks or any of Gomez's international signings arrive at the big league level or even have a major effect in the minors, where the team's top prospect, double-A third baseman Kaleb Cowart, was hitting .219 with more strikeouts (94) than hits (83) before Monday.
"It kind of goes in cycles," Servais said. "The reason we have the gaps, obviously, is there were players that were traded."
"They gave away some players that turned out to be very good," said an NL player personnel executive who was not authorized to speak on the record about another team's talent. "They've had a lot of prospects they've traded, so [the farm system] has depleted."
It's a bind Servais has been in — and escaped from — before.
"You've got to have a plan. The type of player that you're scouting and you're hoping to sign," said Servais, who has used more than half the Angels' picks in his first two drafts on pitchers.
"We're well on the way here. So we hope that it will pay off."

New Jersey continues to raise the bar for the US online gambling industry.
The latest financial reports (April) show nearly $37 million in online revenue from casinos and poker sites, plus another $16.6 million from online sportsbooks. Golden Nugget is still running away with the casino market, while FanDuel Sportsbook is starting to settle into its lead among sports betting operators.
Looking to protect those sources of revenue, New Jersey has filed a supporting brief in the legal challenge to the Wire Act opinion that is under way in a New Hampshire federal court.
Pending the resolution of that case, meanwhile, players can still participate in WSOP online bracelet events from New Jersey.

No deposit / free play bonuses are very common promotions at online casino and poker sites, second in ubiquity only to the deposit match bonus. But because of the "free" aspect of the promotion, many players often have questions about the logic, fine print or validity of such offers.
Below find answers to a handful of the most regularly asked questions about no deposit promotions.
Generally speaking, no. If an NJ online casino promo code or bonus code is necessary to claim an offer, we will note the code in the description of that offer. But the majority of these offers are just standard opening bonuses at the casino or poker site and don't require a special promotional code to claim.
No deposit bonuses are a marketing expense like any other marketing expense. Casinos expect a certain value from each customer they bring through the door and are willing to spend up to a number below that value in order to bring customers through the door.
Casinos don't really care if that money is spent on billboards, a new flashing sign or customer promotions. All are marketing expenses from the view of the bottom line. And that's how casinos afford to give money away to new players.
It also helps that the amounts involved tend to be small, and the terms of the offer prohibit players from simply cashing out the money right away.
Generally speaking only new customers at a given casino qualify for the no deposit offer. If a casino has both poker and casino no deposit offers – like Borgata and 888 do – players are typically forced to choose one bonus or the other.
Some operators are more restrictive, only allowing one bonus per household address or device.
A casino usually only allows players to take advantage of a no deposit bonus a single time. But there's nothing stopping players from taking advantage of no deposit bonuses at various casinos and poker rooms.
Most of NJ's regulated online casinos and poker sites offer some sort of no deposit bonus. If you claimed them all, you'd be looking at roughly $100 in free play.
No. Rooms usually attach some sort of wagering or withdrawal requirement to prevent bonus abuse.
A typical requirement is that you wager the bonus money "x" number of times before you are able to cash out. For poker, the site might require you to pay a certain amount of rake before cashing out.
To create an account at one of NJ's regulated online casino sites or poker sites, you will need to provide your name, address, email address and social security number.
You may also have to answer some questions to verify your identity. All of this information is required by New Jersey regulations.
Only if you feel comfortable, obviously. But you will need to provide it in order to create a valid account at any New Jersey online casino or poker room.
Regulated online gambling sites are required by law to verify customer identity in order to prevent money laundering and other criminal abuses.
Legal online gambling now over five years old in New Jersey, though it's natural that players still have a healthy amount of questions about how these casinos work, who's behind them and what rules and agencies govern regulated online gambling websites in NJ.
Below we've collected answers to the questions we're most often asked about New Jersey's legal online casino sites. Contact us if your question isn't covered below.
Interested in poker? Refer to our extensive NJ online poker review / FAQ.
On Feb. 27, 2013, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill that authorized the operation of regulated online casinos in the state.
After issuing licenses and promulgating regulations, New Jersey gaming regulators – specifically the Division of Gaming Enforcement – gave the go-ahead on Nov. 21, 2013, to approved operators to start offering online casino games and online poker games to players located within the state's borders.
Only land-based casinos in Atlantic City – along with their licensed partners – are eligible to offer legal, regulated online casino and poker in New Jersey. The list of approved casinos (found above) is a relatively brief one, numbering just under a dozen.
Other online casinos may advertise themselves as legal, but they're frankly not being honest with customers. The only legal online casinos operating in New Jersey are those licensed and approved by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
If you ever have a question about the legality of a specific online casino operating in NJ, contact the DGE: (609) 984-0909 / [email protected].
There are any number of distinctions – for example, legal online casinos pay taxes on their revenue to the state, while New Jersey receives no such benefits from illegal casinos based offshore.
But from a consumer perspective, there are three key distinctions between legal and illegal online casinos in New Jersey.
You have no guarantee that your funds are safe at an illegal online casino. In fact, it's often quite difficult to tell what company is ultimately behind the casino. And while several online casinos may advertise that they're licensed by other jurisdictions, that doesn't carry the same benefits as an online casino being licensed by New Jersey regulators.
That's because NJ regulations require licensed online casinos to hold all player funds in secure accounts that are separate from the normal operational accounts of the company. These and other regulatory protections ensure that you know where your funds are, who is holding them and how to get them back if there's a problem.
Bottom line: Your money is safer at a legal online casino.
Again, without regulations to require that the casino safeguard your personal information – and the ability to crack down on operators with fines and other punishments should they not comply – illegal online casinos have little incentive to protect your personal data.
That includes the credit card or other banking information you provide in order to deposit. When you play at an online casino that isn't regulated, you simply can't be sure that your information will be handled in a secure, responsible manner.
Bottom line: Your information is safer at legal online casinos.
All casino games favor the house.
But at an illegal online casino, you have no idea if the deck is square or if the slot reels have been rigged to prevent some outcomes and encourage others. You also have no guarantee that you'll be paid if you do go on a lucky run and ring up a big win.
At New Jersey's legal online casinos, games are subject to the same testing and oversight as the slot machines on the floor at the Borgata or Golden Nugget. And you can be just as sure that should you be one of the lucky few to hit an online jackpot in NJ, you'll be paid just like you would be on the actual casino floor in New Jersey.
Bottom line: You have no idea whether illegal online casinos offer fair games.
Oversight of regulated online gambling in New Jersey is housed within the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement, or the DGE. Learn more about what the DGE does here.
The DGE is also responsible for regulating the multi-billion dollar land-based gambling industry in New Jersey, which is centered in Atlantic City.
Appropriately, that's also the city the DGE (located at 1300 Atlantic Avenue Atlantic City, NJ 08401) calls home.
There are two levels of licensing related to regulated online gambling in New Jersey:
Here's an example of how it works in practice.
For their part, Tropicana and Gamesys currently offer two brands:
You can find the merged regulations covering legal online gambling in New Jersey here.
In addition to the regulations specifically dealing with online casinos, all of the legal gambling websites in New Jersey are subject to the general regulations governing the gambling industry in the state.
The NJ DGE has a process by which consumers can open a formal dispute with a licensed online casino.
If you have questions about problem gambling, please visit the National Council on Problem Gambling.
Different online casinos in NJ offer deposit limits and other mechanisms to limit your online gambling activity.
New Jersey regulators provide an online self-exclusion form that players can use to quickly block their access to all of New Jersey's regulated online casinos with a few clicks. You do not have to admit to having a gambling problem to utilize the self-exclusion form, which takes under a minute to complete.
Access the self-exclusion form here.
The game selection at NJ's legal online casinos is in many ways quite similar to the game selection on the floor of an Atlantic City Casino. In all, there are hundreds of games spread across the regulated online gambling sites in NJ, including:
One thing that is different about the online gaming experience is the stakes involved. You can play many games for pennies to quarters (and not the penny games that end up being a few dollars a slot pull – actual pennies), including games like Blackjack where the minimum bet in a land-based casino would usually be at least $5.
Live Dealer is the latest game variant to reach the NJ online casino market, having debuted in August 2016. At its core, the format is an attempt to bridge the gap between online and live gambling.
The playing devices used to determine game outcomes are real, the dealers are real, but all wagering is handled digitally. And just like digitized table games, Live Dealer can be played from any home computer or Android/iOS powered mobile device.
Live Dealer games are streamed in real-time from a live casino studio setting, thus opening the door for players to chat live with dealers (and other players), and even tip them immediately following a favorable result.
Currently, the only NJ online casino sites to feature the format are Golden Nugget Casino and FanDuel Casino. Since launch, Golden Nugget has expanded its number of Live Dealer tables from three tables to five, and has extended the hours of operation.
Up to date hours and game types as follows:
To partake in Live Dealer games, simply navigate to the Golden Nugget Casino lobby, click the "Live Dealer" tab and choose a table. If a seat is open, hop right in, and place a wager just as you would at any other online table game.
More connects than separates the two. For example:
Most major online casinos in New Jersey's regulated market offer a mobile-friendly product. See our table comparing the legal online casinos in NJ for more information.
Everyone knows that in the casino, the house always wins over the long run. The same applies at online casinos – all of the games are built to favor the house, and no player can beat the casino over time.
So the question is more about whether or not the online games are fair in that they provide the product they advertise. For example, do their big progressive slots and other large-ticket jackpot games ever pay out?
Two examples – including a $1.3 million winner at Harrah's and a $1.5 million winner at Betfair – strongly suggest that players have no reason to doubt the credibility of NJ's legal online gambling sites.
This varies by casino, but more and more of the online casinos in New Jersey's regulated market are attempting to build bridges between their live casino and their online product.
Many rewards programs at online casinos allow you to earn points that can be used in the land-based program.
For example, Caesars' online casino allows players to earn Total Rewards points for online play just as you would at any of Caesars' land-based properties. And your Total Rewards account for the online casino is the same as the TR account you use at the live casinos, meaning that the points you earn online can be used for land-based comps just as you'd use any Total Rewards points.
At a minimum, any legal online casino in NJ will offer a rewards program that can be used for cash back and other rewards within the online casino system.
Promotions at online casinos are constantly evolving, but it's certainly not uncommon to see a promotion that involves some sort of comped room or entertainment at one of the Atlantic City casinos that operate online sites.
A big part of the long-term plan for online gambling in New Jersey is that it will support the land-based casino industry by giving more customers more reasons to interact with the casino, whether that be to gamble for a few minutes in the evening on their mobile device or spending an entire weekend at a property like the Borgata.
And online gambling should help land-based casinos better understand what it is their customers want through increased opportunities for consumer feedback and interaction.
View a list of opening bonuses at NJ online casinos.
Yes. Unlike their offshore counterparts, regulated NJ online casinos do pay taxes to the state of New Jersey. The tax rate on gross gaming revenue (basically the casino win) is 15%.
In 2014, the first full year of regulated online gambling in New Jersey, the state's legal online casinos paid over $18 million in taxes. In 2015 they paid over $22 million in taxes and in 2016 legal online casinos paid taxes totaling more than $29 million to the state of New Jersey.
The amounts vary by operator and change from month to month. But the average for the first year was for poker and casino combined to generate about $10-$12 million per month in revenue total across all of the state's regulated online casinos.
You can find complete NJ online gambling historical revenue data at PlayNJ.com in tabular form.
New Jersey passed a law in 2014 that would legalize Nevada-style sports betting in the state. It was the second attempt at legalizing sports gambling at tracks at Atlantic City casinos. The sports leagues prevailed after the 2012 attempt was challenged in federal court. The case was then heard en banc in the Federal Court of Appeals before it was heard by the Supreme Court of the United States in December 2017.
SCOTUS publicized its decision on the case on May 14, 2018, striking down PASPA and handing NJ a major victory. Prior to the decision, some NJ operators said they would be able to offer legal sports betting within weeks of a verdict in NJ's favor, so we expect the timeline to launch to be quite short.
Golden Nugget's online casino is an extension of their land-based property in Atlantic City. The company also offers land-based gambling in Nevada but has yet to launch a real-money online gambling product in that state (and has no apparent plans to do so).
The online casino arm of Golden Nugget is powered by Bally Tech.
Daily fantasy sports giant DraftKings has become a full-scale gambling company. In addition to DraftKings Sportsbook, the company now offers casino-style online gambling under its brand in New Jersey.
DraftKings is partnered with Resorts Atlantic City for its NJ online gambling operations.
Virgin operates via a partnership with the Tropicana. Like Trop, Virgin is powered under the hood by the Gamesys casino platform. Gamesys also licenses and operates the Virgin brand for online gambling in other regulated markets in the UK and Europe.
The online casino products for Virgin and Tropicana are quite similar. While Virgin operates a social poker game, the brand does not offer a real-money product in New Jersey and does not appear to have any plans to do so.
FanDuel is partnered with Betfair and the Golden Nugget. The company was originally partnered with Trump Plaza, but that partnership ceased when Trump closed the doors of their land-based operation.
Like 888, FanDuel Casino cut its teeth in the international market, where it offers a variety of products. The company is best known for its sports exchange product, which is considered by many to be one of the most innovative – and profitable – sports betting products in the industry.
FanDuel Casino also operates a number of advance deposit wagering sites in the U.S. that allow players to legally place online bets on horse races.
The newest NJ online casino — and actual casino — launched in the summer of 2018. Powered by GAN, Ocean Resort is being aggressive out of the box, including a $125 no-deposit bonus. It's obviously entering the market quite late in the game
The physical resort is the former Revel, a property built for more than $2 billion but was quickly shuttered because of high costs.
Hard Rock Atlantic City launched its physical and online casino in the summer of 2018. Built on the skeleton of the old Trump Taj Mahal, it's a serious foray into the online market for Hard Rock international.
The online casino is still a work in progress, and more game types are sure to be added.
CaesarsCasino.com is the online casino arm of Caesars Atlantic City. The primary software engine for Caesars online was launched by Amaya. Now, however, Caesars uses NYX, which has since been taken over by Scientific Games. Caesars offers an online poker product in New Jersey under the Caesars-owned World Series of Poker brand.
Caesars is also active in the Nevada online poker market via the WSOP NV brand, but does not operate in Delaware. The company is expected to be at the forefront of the next wave of markets to open up, especially Pennsylvania.
888 operates in partnership with Caesars in New Jersey. In addition to offering online casino games in New Jersey, 888 operates an online poker site that partially shares liquidity with WSOP NJ.
888 also operates in Delaware's regulated market, offering both casino and poker, and has plans to enter the Nevada poker market shortly. The majority of 888's business is done in the international market, where 888 is one of the largest online poker sites and does an eight-figure business in online casino and sports annually.
Borgata's online casino is an extension of the land-based Borgata property in Atlantic City. The casino is powered by bwin.party's casino software. Borgata also offers an online poker product that shares a platform and player pool with PartyPoker NJ.
Borgata is owned by MGM Resorts. As regulated online gambling continues to spread in the United States, that nationwide network of casinos could provide interesting opportunities for Borgata to expand its online casino and poker presence.
Harrah's is operated by Caesars and features many of the same games and features as the online casino at CaesarsCasino.
Like CaesarsCasino, Harrah's is powered by the Amaya gaming platform and is tied into the broader Total Rewards program offered at Caesars-owned properties nationwide.
Mohegan Sun is an online casino that operates under the Resorts interactive gaming license. It offers a wide variety of slots, video poker, blackjack, and roulette. All players receive a free slot spin daily. No deposit is required. The first deposit bonus is 100% up to $1,000. The wager requirement is 20 times for slots and 100 times for all other games.
Pala Casino NJ operates in partnership with the Borgata. But unlike the Borgata, Pala does not share technology or players with bwin.party. Instead, Pala operates on a proprietary gaming platform.
Pala Interactive is an arm of the Pala tribal gambling operation in California.
PartyPoker Casino is powered by the bwin.party software platform and operates under the IGP of the Borgata. The Party Casino and the Borgata online casino are more or less identical products; the same can be said for PartyPoker NJ's poker product, which shares both platform and player pool with Borgata Poker online.
Party does not operate in Delaware or Nevada. The company has signaled its intention to work with the United Auburn Tribe in California if and when online poker is regulated in that state.
Resorts Atlantic City's online casino is an offshoot of the company's land-based Boardwalk property. The online casino product is powered by NYX Gaming.
Resorts offers online poker via its partner PokerStars.
MGM owns the Borgata and now is fully invested in the online gambling industry. The company offers both an online casino and an online poker product, as well as an online sportsbook.
Tropicana's online casino operates under the license of the land-based Tropicana hotel and casino in Atlantic City. The software platform for the online casino is provided by Gamesys, a major player in the international online gambling industry with a long track record of B2B successes.
Tropicana offers only casino, declining to enter New Jersey's online poker market and making it clear that the company has no plans to enter the space in the foreseeable future.
Kindred Group is poised to attack the US online gambling market, having ported its Unibet product over from Europe. The group's online casino went live in June 2019, and an online sports betting platform is in the works.
No deposit poker and casino bonuses – essentially free chips to try out an online poker site or casino – are a popular promotion at New Jersey's regulated online gambling sites.
We've collected all of the current no deposit poker offers and no deposit casino bonuses at NJ's legal online casinos and summarized the terms associated with each below, along with what – if any – promo codes or bonus codes are needed to take advantage of the offer.
All of the offers from sites that are operating legally in NJ under a license from the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement and are available to new customers only. Learn more about how NJ online casinos and NJ online poker rooms work with our FAQs.

'R'guably La Gloria Cubana's finest.
The La Gloria Cubana Serie R cigar utilizes an Ecuadorian grown Colorado shade wrapper, or Connecticut Broadleaf maduro, concealing an extensively aged blend of Mexican, Dominican, Brazilian, and Nicaraguan filler leaves. The result is a richer, spicier, fuller bodied version of the regular La Gloria Cubana cigar line. Using thicker ring gauges, the Serie R helped pave the way for today's thicker, bolder cigars. Experience the beginning of a legend.
The Serie R has been honored with a 92-rating noting: "Rich in color with an oily wrapper and superbly crafted cap, this short robusto draws and burns evenly. Sweet woods and floral notes are balanced by spices, earth and hints of dried orange peel."
Holy wow. I had the maduro version. Not for the faint of heart at all. I enjoy medium to full flavor cigars and this (along with RP The Edge) is one of the strongest cigars I have ever had. Oily. The lighter notes that are noted by experts must come from a more refined palate than mine. I don't get them at all. Wood, dark leather, and oil are the only three takeaways I have on this stick. Lot of oomph without a lot of ahhhhh. If you enjoy these, you will find most other cigars lacking. To me, against the advice of experts, these do not stack up to the 92 rating. This won't be in my rotation, but I am proud to say I tried this one.
I absolutely love the robustos. Maybe my favorite smoke. Full bodied with a flavor that holds up even when paired with a peaty scotch.
Just got these in a Herf/5-cigar deal. The construction is fine, the draw is a little hard and the cigar is trying to convince me that it a fine smoke as I am smoking it and writing this review. Well it is doing a good job of changing my mind. I was going to give it a bad review, but the longer I smoke this the better it gets. The draw is now just fine, it's medium/full body and I find it well balanced. I'm smoking the last third now and have to admit that its not too shabby. Overall it is a nice cigar with lots of smoke, with flavors that remain in the mouth (pepper,earthy,hearty). I would buy these again, they are a nice smoke for after dinner or with a drink. The cigar took me about 1 hour 20 min. to finish and it never got hot or bitter. If you like medium to full bodied cigars that are well built and want to try this, go ahead you wont be sorry.
Good God, man! This maduro is beauty IN the beast, I kid you not. Had one right off the truck with a phenomenal beer. I had never paired a cigar with a beer, but the Founder's English Porter was friggin' perfect! And this cigar is a sturdy & powerful bit of decadence. NOT an everyday smoke, for me! I could save these for a special occasion, but prefer to make smoking the Serie R maduro THE special occasion. I do recommend that you eat first.
Was looking for a smooth maduro and saw the reviews on this one. I picked up a stick at a cigar shop and wasn't disappointed. For a full-bodied cigar I couldn't tell. I didn't find it overwhelming at all. Maybe my palate is maturing because I usually prefer mild to medium cigars. Lots of creamy smoke with an excellent burn. Very tasty. I'm smoking it down to the nub as I type this. I'll be ordering a few more of theses for my humi.
Bang for the buck, the #6 natural is my "go to" cigar. Hey, I love an Ashton VSG, Padron, etc. - but this cigar has the right price/value point.
Over all, one of the best out there. The nice thing is, if you had one 2 years ago and smoked one today, you get the same cigar. No fussing with the blend, no tweeking and ruining a good thing, just a damn good cigar.
So...I purchased these with my new humidor and I don't know, maybe since I'm a newbie but this cigar was awesome. Amazing flavor and maintained a full burn. I felt so relaxed and, call me crazy, but felt buzzed. Could have del asleep with the way it made me feel. I'm edited to try more and share with my experts. Great cigar!
La Gloria Cubana Serie R (No. 4 - Natural): Very easy to light. Excellent construction, draw and burn. Very little resistance on draw and very heavy amount of smoke output even when at rest. Thick and oily on palate. Mild to Medium strength and medium flavors. Flavors of very light initial citrus followed by caramel and sweet leather. Tobacco has a slight sourness on lips. Medium length finish of leather and aged tobacco with no spice.
By far the most tasteful cigar good shape, magnificent taste, less expansive and more relaxing then a full body massage.
#5 Natural. Incredibly spicy start! Loved it. After about 1/3 mark the heavy spice tapered off a bit and went to background a bit. still there but not as overpowering and smoke was more "savory" is the best word for it. Like a great steak. About halfway in got a very heavy nicotine rush. Needed a touch-up and that brought out the spice again. One of my favorites. Will be getting other sizes to try. Not for a first time smoker though, very intense cigar.
Robusto #5. Wow. The spice at the front end is very powerful. I love it but it could be too much for someone not used to it. After a bit the spice mellowed some and the flavor could be best described as "savory." Very much like enjoying a fine steak. Very complex flavoring. Spice was still there but not as strong or by itself anymore about 1/3 in. Did need to touch it up some and that brought back the spice to the forefront for a bit. Overall one of my favorite smokes, plan to buy more and also try other sizes.
Smoking my first one right now. #4.......very nice! The construction is fabulous, even burn, nice feel, nice look. My son gave me this to try, and I have to say I taught him well. For the money, this is absolutely amazing. Very smooth with LOTS of smoke. Effortless puffs, yet a solid draw. I hope they're all like this, cause I'm looking to order a fair amount. This just joined my stock pile, and I have a good one. You don't always have to spend the big bucks to get the big dollar experience. I only wish I would have found this stick sooner. Better late then never.............
Love at First Taste... What an incredible experience
I'm halfway through my first one of these, and I just had to post something while it was on my mind. I love this cigar. I'm not sure of the number or size, but I picked it up in the current "Chosen One 4" sampler as of March of 2014. I've always been a La Gloria fan, and this one is the best I've had from this brand so far. I've smoked several of the N series, and while the taste and draw is similar, the N series always released a large amount of smoke off of the end of the cigar, so much that it often was annoying. This is not the case with this R series cigar. This is going to be one of my go-to cigars. I look forward to finishing this one off and seeing how it holds up to the nub.
Excellent smoke! One of my all time favorites.
Fell obligated to offer my honest unbiased review of the 60 ring series R madero to any serious smoker. This cigar was very enjoyable in every way. Not trying to sell anybody,just an honest review of my experience with this cigar. Well constructed. Burned beautifully?no touch ups needed.Complex throughout. Very nice aroma.One of the best Madurese I have ever smoked. Not too pricey when you consider you get 24 per box. Hated to put it out but don't like burning my fingers. I will buy more.Really enjoyable and I am a serious cigar lover. Take for what it's worth.
This is a great cigar, smooth all the way to the end.
Once this Series R was referred to as my go to smoke, actually this is my number smoke! Fabulous full body cigar.
I have never had a cigar burn so perfect. Picked one of these up in a sampler. The tastes were pronounced and assertive, the wrapper was perfect, the burn was razor sharp, so I can totally see the 92 rating. Probably would have been rated higher if it weren't for the price. Great smoke!!
The Serie R Pequenos are the best small cigars I have tried to date. Most small cigars lack the flavor of their big brothers; not these.
By far one of my favorite smokes.
La Gloria R... I so fondly remember my 1st one, instant love.... I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one who gets "High" (for better lack of description) while smoking a good cigar... Like a similar smokable substance, I too feel strong euphoric effects while smoking certain cigars. The La Gloria R is by far one of my favorites. While a bit pricey off the shelf, CI offers this gem at a reasonable price for common man. Thanks CI! Maybe it's just a Pennsylvania thing???
I burned one of these down this afternoon and I have to say it was absolutely incredible. Fantastic smoke with a rich hearty flavor while remaining smooth. Burn was even all the way around all the way to the nub. A very enjoyable smoke worthy of the 92 rating that it received by the experts.
I have yet to find another full bodied cigar that I enjoy more than the La Gloria Cubana serie R in maduro wrapper. If you treat these cigars well and keep them properly humid, then you will not be disappointed. This is possibly the most flavorful fullbodied cigar that I have tried. If there is one out there that someone would say can trump it, let em know.
Had the natural #5...not a bad smoke...not really the flavor I prefer, but it has a bold flavor with a good amount of smoke production...I will have to try the maduro version, as that is more of my type of smoke...
The best Vitola of the bunch is the No. 3. Short and bitter sweet. Deep earth and raw cocoa dominate this cigar. It also has a zesty dried fruitiness toward the end. This is an everyday, all day smoke. Full bodied and full smooth strength.
La Gloria Cubana Serie R: I prefer the natural over the maduro, and I have tried each cigar in this series from the piquenios to the #7's. IMHO the best is the #6. It's got the right combination of length and ring gauge. There's something in these cigars, maybe a special tobacco, maybe something else, but it acts, for me, like a neuro-toxin. I can be as angry, sad, or frustrated as I've ever been, then light up a #6 and within a few puffs all is right with the world again. This doesn't happen for me with all cigars, nor with all of the Serie R's, just the #6 and #7. Your results may vary if the receptor in my brain is different than yours. As for taste: I taste Oak or Mesquite, floral, and a tiny bit of orange rind. They always burn perfectly and always have a perfect draw.
I purchased 2 Herf A Dor packs. El Gordo #40: La Gloria Serie R + Herf-a-Dor and a Romeo y Julieta 1875 Herf-a-Dor Combo. The deal on these were great and the lighter that came with the La Gloria is a terrific lighter, but the La Gloria Serie R were sadly disappointing. Not sure how they got a 92 rating. On the other hand the Romeo y Julieta 1875 fabulous and I will order them again when they are back in stock.

"POLITICS HAVE no relation to morals." -- Niccolo Machiavelli
I'D LIKE to say politics have no relation to movies, but of course, they do, especially when it comes to "war" movies.
If you don't see much point in any war, you are likely not to be swept away by most films about conflict. If you believe some, or even all, wars are necessary and noble, you're likely a fan of violent confrontation and heroics.
Mostly, American heroics.
This brings us to the smash hit of the past weekend, Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper," starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, a real-life guy who was known to be the most expert and deadly sniper, ever,...

NFL scores Week 7: Sunday's scoreboard, highlights, stats
Find NFL scores for Week 7 games below, with Sunday's slate captured in play-by-play, recaps, stats and video highlights. The action continues tonight with an emotionally charged primetime game.
MORE: NFL Week 7 scores (live) | Must-see photos | TV schedule
Indianapolis Colts 39, Denver Broncos 33
Andrew Luck threw for three touchdowns and ran for another Sunday night, outplaying predecessor Peyton Manning in a 39-33 victory over the previously unbeaten Denver Broncos. The victory ended the Broncos' 17-game regular-season winning streak in the first game Manning played against his former team since being released in March 2012. Manning finished 29 of 49 for 386 yards with three TDs and one interception. He was sacked four times and tried desperately to rally the Broncos (6-1) late.
Kansas City Chiefs 17, Houston Texans 16
Jamaal Charles ran for 86 yards and a touchdown, Alex Smith also ran for a score and the Chiefs beat the Texans to remain unbeaten. Case Keenum, making his first NFL start in place of the injured Matt Schaub, threw for 271 yards and a touchdown. The loss was especially tough for the Texans, as Arian Foster and Brian Cushing left with injuries.
San Francisco 49ers 31, Tennessee Titans 17
The 49ers know how to start a very long road trip in winning style. Colin Kaepernick threw for 199 yards and ran for 68 and a touchdown, helping the 49ers start a two-game road swing. The 49ers won their fourth straight before heading to London for a game with winless Jacksonville.
Green Bay Packers 31, Cleveland Browns 13
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
Aaron Rodgers shuffled around the field to make plays. He jokingly needled a young receiver about his first Lambeau leap. And perhaps even most importantly, he was one of the calming influences this week on a Packers team beset with injuries. Rodgers threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns, Eddie Lacy ran for another score, and the defense came up clutch in a grinding, 31-13 win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns.
Pittsburgh Steelers 19, Baltimore Ravens 16
Shaun Suisham remains perfect. Now, his imperfect team is showing signs of pulling out of its massive early season hole. He drilled a 42-yard field goal with no time remaining to lift the Steelers. Suisham's fourth field goal of the day pushed the Steelers to their second straight win after an 0-4 start
Dallas Cowboys 17, Philadelphia Eagles 3
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
Tony Romo threw for 317 yards and one touchdown and the Cowboys overcame a sluggish start to beat the Eagles and take sole possession of first place in the NFC East.
Atlanta Falcons 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
Matt Ryan threw for 273 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Jacquizz Rodgers, and the Falcons held off the Buccaneers to end their three-game losing streak. Harry Douglas had seven receptions for a career-best 149 yards.
Washington Redskins 45, Chicago Bears 41
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
Roy Helu scored his third touchdown of the game with 45 seconds to play, a 3-yard run that gave the Redskins a win over the Bears. Helu had scoring runs of 14, 3 and 3 yards, and rookie tight end Jordan Reed caught nine passes for 134 yards and one touchdown. Josh McCown entered the game in the second quarter after Jay Cutler left with a groin injury. And even in a loss, never forget: Don't kick the ball to Devin Hester.
New York Jets 30, New England Patriots 27 (OT)
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
Nick Folk kicked a 42-yard field goal with 5:07 left in overtime to lift the Jets over the Patriots. Folk got a second chance after he missed a 56-yarder moments earlier. But Chris Jones was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for pushing a teammate forward to try to block the kick, a new NFL rule.
STEELE: Patriots blow it in final moments
Buffalo Bills 23, Miami Dolphins 21
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
Mario Williams forced a fumble when he sacked Ryan Tannehill with less than three minutes left, setting up the winning field goal to help the Bills beat the Dolphins. Kicker Dan Carpenter, released in August after five seasons with the Dolphins, beat his former team by making a 31-yarder with 33 seconds to go. Brandon Gibson's soaring touchdown ultimately was not enough for Miami.
Carolina Panthers 30, St. Louis Rams 15
Cam Newton is thriving and Sam Bradford is hurting. Newton completed 15 of 17 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown and the Panthers defeated Bradford and the Rams in a heated game Sunday. In the past two games, Newton is 35 of 43 for 464 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions.
Cincinnati Bengals 27, Detroit Lions 24
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
Mike Nugent's 54-yard field goal as time expired lifted the Bengals over the Lions. The AFC North-leading Bengals (5-2) won a game for the second straight week by the same score thanks to Nugent's right foot. The Lions looked like they did enough to send the game to OT, but rookie Sam Martin shanked a punt just 28 yards to midfield in the final minute. Not even this ridiculous catch by Calvin Johnson could put the Lions of the top.
San Diego Chargers 24, Jacksonville Jaguars 6
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
Philip Rivers threw for 285 yards and a touchdown, Ryan Mathews ran for 110 yards and a score, and the surging Chargers beat the winless Jaguars. Rivers completed his first 14 passes, picking apart Jacksonville's defense with short throws and clock-eating drives. He finished 22 of 26.
Bye: New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders
Monday's Game
New York Giants 23, Minnesota Vikings 7
Recap | Stats | Video highlights
With six losses on their resume, the New York Giants could have been wondering if they would ever win a game this season. Instead, they searched within to see what they are made of. "The players and coaches have great pride in what we're doing," Eli Manning said Monday night after - at last - the team's first victory, 23-7 over the Minnesota Vikings.
Thursday's Game
Seattle Seahawks 34, Arizona Cardinals 22
The Seattle Seahawks are dominating the NFC West. Thursday night in Arizona provided the latest evidence. Russell Wilson threw for three touchdowns, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 91 yards and Seattle beat the Cardinals
