EL CAJON, Calif. (AP) — An Iraqi immigrant was convicted Thursday of bludgeoning his wife to death in a case that initially was considered a hate crime because a note found next to her body said: "This is my country, go back to yours, you terrorist."
Kassim Alhimidi, 49, shook his head from side to side and wagged a finger as jurors were polled, then chaos erupted in the courtroom when his oldest son stood and shouted obscenities. The son proclaimed his father's innocence before several deputies wrestled him out of the courtroom.
Alhimidi turned to the son and yelled in Arabic "God knows, and I attest to God, that I am not the killer. I am innocent."
Another son also shouted in his father's defense, while the victim's mother said Alhimidi deserved worse, according to the official court translator, Nahla David.
Superior Court Judge William McGrath and the jury cleared the courtroom during the outbursts. After a brief recess, the judge returned and scheduled sentencing for May 15.
Alhimidi faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for the murder of his 32-year-old wife, Shaima Alawadi, at their house in El Cajon, home to one of the largest enclaves of Iraqi immigrants in the U.S.
Prosecutors argued Alhimidi lied to police about his troubled marriage and apologized to his wife as she lay dying in a hospital. Defense lawyers said Alhimidi loved his wife, that he was not a violent man, and that he returned from Iraq after burying his wife there.
The couple's eldest daughter, then 17, found her mother in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor of their suburban San Diego home in March 2012, her body tangled in a computer cord and desk chair. She had multiple skull fractures from blunt force and died two days after the attack. A sliding glass door was shattered.
No murder weapon was found, but investigators said Alawadi, a strict Muslim, was apparently beaten with a tire iron.
Local and federal investigators suspected a hate crime until lab tests determined the threatening note was a photocopy — possibly of a note found outside the family home a week earlier by one of the couple's five children.
Prosecutors told the San Diego County jury during a two-week trial that Alhimidi was distraught over his wife's plans to leave him and had urged his children and relatives to get her to stay. Detectives found documents in Alawadi's car indicating she planned to seek a divorce, and the eldest daughter, Fatima, told investigators that her mother wanted to move to Texas to be with her sister.
After the attack, Alhimidi went to the hospital, touched his wife as she lay unconscious in bed, and apologized to her, prosecutor Kurt Mechals said. An uncle of the children who was present told authorities that Alhimidi then turned to him and said that if his wife woke up, she might try to say that he had attacked her.
The prosecutor read jurors computer messages that the woman had sent to relatives that said: "I do not love him" and "I cannot stand him."
"The relationship was in the tank. It was bad," Mechals told jurors.
The defense argued Alhimidi had no motive for killing his wife and that he loved her dearly. Attorneys said he could have stayed in Iraq after her burial but returned to the U.S. and cooperated with police until he was arrested nearly eight months after the killing.
"This man has never once raised a hand to Shaima," attorney Richard Berkon Jr. told the jury.
Alhimidi gave contradictory statements to police right after the attack because he was afraid he would be blamed for a killing he didn't commit, attorney Douglas Gilliland said.
As for the uncle who said Alhimidi confessed, Gilliland said the man always disliked his client and cultural misunderstandings clouded the truth. Muslims often apologize to loved ones who are dying for all the things that they did or didn't do for them in their lives, he said.
Alawadi left Iraq in the early 1990s after a failed Shiite uprising. She lived in Saudi Arabian refugee camps before coming to the U.S., Imam Husham Al-Husainy of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center in Dearborn, Mich., said after she was killed. Then-Iraq President Saddam Hussein's troops hanged Alawadi's uncle.
The family moved to the Detroit area and later to San Diego.
The jury deliberated less than two days before delivering a verdict that split the family. Alawadi's mother, Rehima Alhussanwi, said she was convinced Alhimidi was the killer.
"In Iraq, normally if he kills her he is supposed to be killed in the same way," she told reporters through David, the translator.
The eldest daughter, Fatima, declined to speak with reporters but her attorney, Ron Rockwell, said she felt "outraged and utterly betrayed" that the defense suggested during the trial that she may have been involved in the killing.
"Although we love our father, we also hate what we believe he did," Fatima said in a statement read by her attorney.
Alhimidi, who did not testify at trial, turned to one of his sons as he was escorted from the courtroom and asked that he seek international support to clear him of wrongdoing, according to the translator. "This was a hate crime," he said.

Interview I spent a little time on AIM with SuSE U.S. rep (and all-around nice guy) Holger Dyroff, discussing SuSE's new products, trends in Linux desktop/consumer use, and the state of Linux market penetration in general. This transcript has been edited (very lightly) only for grammar and spelling, not content. Make sure you read all the way to the end, where Holger mentions SuSE's take on SCO's decision to commit corporate suicide.
Roblimo I tried -- and liked -- the new SuSE office desktop product. What additional features are we going to see in the upcoming version?
Holger Good question. The new announced SuSE Linux 8.2 will not be a successor of the SuSE Linux Office Desktop but a new version of our successfull Personal and Professional series!
New features we'll see are Ease-of-Use with KDE 3.1, more applications like MainActor and GNU Cash (Video editing and Home Banking) as well as better mobility (Wireless LAN cards and WinModems)
In regards to the SuSE Linux Office Desktop it's well received from our customers and we will continue this product line as well and enhance it in the not too distant future.
Roblimo Will we see it in retail stores? Will people be able to buy it from Staples, Office Depot, Fry's, CompUSA and other places most people go to for software?
Holger Yes. SuSE Linux Office Desktop is available at Fry's and Microcenter, already as well as on Amazon.com.
SuSE Linux 8.2 of course is available as usual: BestBuy, CompUSA, Microcenter, Fry's, Futureshop (for Canada). Staples and Office Depot weren't profitable channels for Linux and you'll not see it there.
Roblimo One problem I -- and others -- have noticed with SuSE is that the automated update feature doesn't seem to work very well. Is this because of unreliable mirrors? Inherent in the software? And is the problem fixed in 8.2?
Holger You are right. It didn't work well in SuSE Linux Office Desktop. In SuSE Linux 8.1 some customers had problems. We have put effort in that for 8.2.
1) It's now more reliable and we tested it thoroughly.
2) We put in a new feature: A daemon is now checking for available updates and warning you if there are some to apply.
Also important (You might have read announcements from our competition) -- SuSE Linux 8.2 comes with FREE security fixes, etc. and access through YaST Online Update for 2 years!
Roblimo So SuSE works out to... umm... $20 per year for home users? Not bad.
Holger Basically, yes. If he needs to run some Windows Applications and therefore needs the Desktop Product it's more expensive but I think still affordable.
We will also start with pre-loaded hardware with 8.2. We are confident to have an announcement in the next 2-3 weeks.
Roblimo What kind of hardware? A nice laptop I hope? :)
Holger Not yet, sorry. It'll be desktops first. But we have not yet seen many offers with SuSE Linux, that will change.
Roblimo Are you working with any "big name" hardware vendors?
Holger Yes, we are talking with several, but no deals closed yet. Actually in Germany we are dealing with Fujitsu Siemens, they offer pre-loaded desktops since 1-2 years already.
Roblimo How about less-advanced countries, like the United States?
Holger As said, we are talking to top tier vendors and I see it coming for this year!
We already have a huge wave of interest from the desktop product. We basically have a customer a day who is thinking about more than 1000 desktops with Linux.
It's rolling.
Roblimo How's it going on the corporate desktop front? Interest is nice, but are you getting any actual installations/conversions?
Holger Corporations tend to have a 6-12 months sales cycle, they just don't decide on a rollout of 1000+ desktops overnight. Early successes are in Germany until now. A complete city administration (Schwaebisch Hall) is changing to 400 desktops and 20 servers with nothing other than Linux.
Believe me, it'll come soon. But I know every journalist would like to write about it today :)
Roblimo I doubt that many journalists who make their livings covering Windows technology are interested, but that's their problem. :)
Thinking of journalists, are you getting more inquiries from mainstream press people than you did a year or two ago?
Holger Yes. PC World and PC Magazine are increasing their coverage. Infoworld and Computerworld are regular Linux writers, and I suppose you saw the Business Week cover story about Linux recently.
I suppose it just comes along with a higher market share. Even on the desktop we will have a higher Linux marketshare then Apple by Q1 2004.
Roblimo According to whom? (14:54:15)
Holger That's IDC data, they say about 2% right now and 4% a year from now. (Apple is 3.5%). SuSE is backing this data, we have the same perception. (14:54:48)
Roblimo You and IDC actually expect the number of Linux desktops in the world to double in the next year?
Holger That's correct.
And we have clear targets for the business desktop. Just think about several million Desktops out there which are still running OS/2! They need to be migrated in the next two years and we want to make sure that many of them will migrate to Linux.
Roblimo Do you honestly believe Linux - specifically SuSE 8.2 - is ready for use by the average home computer owner who is currently using Windows 98 and thinking about upgrading?
Holger It depends. If he is working with his PC and browsing the Internet: YES
If he is heavily into gaming and wants to have the same new multimedia applications as his friends - Not yet.
Applications will be key for this market and I think Codeweavers with their Windows Enablement Technology is an opportunity to bridge the gap and make the applications available now.
But short term, it's the business desktop first. Not the family with a 9 year old in school. (If they have a 13 year old its a market, she or he might be a kernel hacker soon :)
Roblimo GnuCash - I see SuSE is touting the latest version of GnuCash. Do you think that will be a big selling point for home users?
Holger Yes, as it has some nice new features including home banking, and why buy extra applications for Windows if a nice application is coming with your Linux operating system?
Roblimo I have no answer to that. It's like the "Why pay more?" question you see in supermarket ads. :)
What applications do you hear the most requests for on the home and small office level?
Holger Photo Editing and Printing is a huge issue. Gimp is nice, but is yet missing some features and people are asking about Adobe Photoshop-like applications and features all the time.
Another area which is frequently asked for is web publishing and tools like Macromedia offers.
Roblimo Anything up SuSE's sleeve on in these areas?
Holger Not yet, we are not application programers, but a service provider who takes what is available as open source software and delivers it to its customers.
Both ISVs Adobe and Macromedia would definitely be a key towards a Linux desktop revolution. And I read Adobe is starting to use QT to develop on.
Roblimo Moving away from the consumer area... How's the Openexchange Server doing?
Holger It's doing good. We have sold several thousand worldwide and the most asked question was, do you have a trial version so I can test that Outlook works with it.
Roblimo And have you?
Holger It's brand new. It's $19.95 and can be pre-ordered at http://www.suse.com/openexchange/slox_eval_form.html
Roblimo Ah.
Holger It'll be the complete product with all functionality. But without maintenance. So everybody can easily try it out!
Roblimo Actually, I know some people who run a fair-sized network -- around 800 users -- who tried Openexchange and liked it, say they plan to implement it soon.
Holger Wow! Thats good news! We have some others like that in the states, but the most we sold were like 300 concurrent licenses or so. Everybody else is in Evaluation. The sales cycles get longer if more users are involved.
Roblimo What's the biggest deal you have under evaluation?
Holger About 1900 EndUsers.
Roblimo Wow.
Holger We don't promote it above 1000 users right now, as we want to get some experience first and are missing some features for really huge companies.
Roblimo But sales, in general are picking up?
Holger Yes, absolutely.
Roblimo Are they still asking why they should use Linux, or coming to you for Linux?
Holger No, that got much better. A) Linux and B) SuSE Linux have made progress in brand recognition. People are comparing pricing and of course many need information and proof, because they are implementing something "non-standard" instead of MS Exchange which everybody knows.
Roblimo How about retail sales of the consumer products? Doing better?
Holger They are stagnating a little bit right now. I'm looking forward to 8.2. Part of the problem is the economy, people reduce their Update cycle to save some money, etc.
Roblimo Do you think increased competition for desktop Linux users might be part of the cause? Lycoris... Xandros... Lindows... Mandrake still cranking... Red Hat remembering desktop users...
Holger Competition is what motivates us every day to make our products even better.
Roblimo But isn't the "Linux user pie" spread a little thin right now?
Holger Not necessarily as the whole Linux retail market is still shrinking (about 10 percent 2001 to 2002) and we are the only vendor who sells more then in the year before. New vendors like Lindows are looking for new customer groups.
But you are right, instead of buying a new version of SuSE Linux, some customers might just think, "let's try Xandros this time."
And of course, more people download it from the Internet. Even SuSE Linux which is available for a free download 4 weeks after the start of sales in the shop.
Roblimo Obviously downloads are important. On one hand, you tell us Linux desktop usage is exepcted to double soon, but on the other you talk of retail sales being down by 10%, except for SuSE. Are downloads a big factor in this seeming contradication? Or is most of the increase in Linux desktop use going to be in corporate settings, not homes?
Holger From a sales perspective it might just be that the people don't update as frequently as they did. Kernel 2.4 is rock solid and money is tight.
Broadband connections are getting more and more used and this allows easier install of SuSE Linux over the Internet, which is fine and is the idea of Linux. And yes, our focus in the near future will be the corporate and business desktop but, as we show with SuSE Linux 8.2, we will not forget our roots.
Roblimo Last question: It sounds like SuSE is doing a lot of great stuff. When will SuSE disassociate itself from SCO so we can buy SuSE products with a clear conscience again?
Holger We are reevaluating our relationship with them right now. This needs a little bit of time. We were surprised from their actions as I guess everybody else was and I can tell you, our CEO Richard Seibt was not amused.

Thank you bob I am still plugging away at it when you come back post up something here and I'll let you know if I ended up hitting gold! good luck at the dance show!
No luck in figuring it out I tried to come up with formulas to tie it together and no dice.
Hi JoshH
Welcome to the forum!
Here lies the reader who will never open this book. He is forever dead.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment
The knowledge of some things as a function of age is a delta function.
I tried to come up with formulas to tie it together and no dice.
Well, that's no problem; you are supposed to use coins!
Don't worry. I finally have it licked. Excel has an annoying feature (introduced to save time) that actually means I couldn't get it to re-calculate everything. After many false trails, I found a solution. But it will take a while to type up so I'll post again when I have it.

hi Josh,
MIF is transferring to a new server, so I'm not sure how well this will go. Please check to see if you are getting the new server message, and report back. (see top of page announcement)
Now to business. I think it helps to keep things as simple as possible. So I'm going to use H and T rather than 1 and 0.
Step (i) A1 = IF(RANDBETWEEN(0,1)=1,"H","T")
This should give you either an H or a T in the cell, at random.
Step (ii) copy into cells B1 to J1.
Now you should have a line of H and T results.
Step (iii) K1 = CONCATENATE(A1,B1,....J1)
This should give you a single 'word' or 'string' with the ten trials in correct order.
Step (iv) L1 = IFERROR(IF(FIND("HHHH",K1)>0,"yes","no"),"no")
That should put a yes or no according to whether there's a HHHH. I think there are other ways to do this step, but that one is yours and it works so I've stuck with it.
Now copy all those cells for ,say, 10 rows, just to test it.
You should have lines of H and T cells, with a ten letter word correctly showing and then either yes or no. I found there were typically about 2 or 3 yes.
To count the yes, step (v) = COUNTIF(L1:L10,"yes") should give you the total.
So if you've got that far, all you need to do is copy it for 10000 rows. I found values between 2000 and 3000, but the coins are random so there's bound to be some variation.
I'm a bit unhappy about having to create 10000 lines. It will tie up lots of RAM and it looks a bit messy. And what will you do if you're asked for a million throws?
So I've had a bit of help getting an iterative process working. I hit a problem with the way Excel works out cell values but I managed to find a fix. There may be a way to get Excel to do the required job, but I haven't found it yet.
When you're happy with the above, post back and I'll teach you how to do it. (Final version needed just 13 cells!)

In her musical opening number during the Emmys, "Glee" star Jane Lynch took a gentle jab at her own show – singing that TV is "a world where high school students look roughly 24."
It's a funny line that speaks to perhaps the biggest challenge facing the show, which begins its pivotal third season Tuesday: With its cast getting older and its overreliance at times on gimmicks over character, can "Glee" graduate to the next level?
Four months have passed since the last episode, in which the glee club from Ohio's McKinley High flopped in New York. The summer break presented a chance for fans to process a high-energy, somewhat erratic – if ultimately winning – second season.
Even more so than the first season, which created legions of Gleeks, the sophomore effort offered wild shifts in tone. The gay bullying plotline gave the show grounding and impact beyond the TV screen. The "Grilled Cheesus" episode offered a smart religious satire that spoke to the value of faith.
But the repetitive relationship roulette among the New Directions grew tiresome, and there were more misfires in the more stunt-fueled episodes (the Britney Spears tribute, the disappointing "Rocky Horror" mess and the "Grinch" takeoff) than hits (conniving cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester's "Vogue" video).
The show works best when its musical whimsy is rooted in human emotion, as when Kurt sang a slow, tender version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to his stricken father, and when the glee club performed "Pure Imagination" from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" at the funeral of Sue's sister.
Kurt, along with Rachel and Finn, are among the characters entering their senior year, offering new plot possibilities, but signaling change is necessary. Fans got mixed signals over the summer with "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy announcing the graduating crew will be gone after this season and the producers quickly insisting they'll be back next year.
The producers also have suggested that the show will be more character-driven this around – Fox's "Glee" website promises a "back to basics" approach. Idina Menzel is returning as Rachel's birth mother, and the winners from "The Glee Project" reality competition show will be woven into "Glee" in various forms.
We're most intrigued, though, by Sue Sylvester's plan to run for Congress as a Christian conservative intent on wiping out glee clubs everywhere. Whether the storyline will mark a step toward the shark-jumping diving board or another brilliant stroke from a show whose greatest consistency rests in its ability to surprise, remains to be seen.
Part of the fun of "Glee" is that it mimics the heightened, manic craziness of high school. But also like high school, there's a danger of never leaving mentally, as evidenced by some of the show's adult characters. Students who look roughly 24 eventually need to move on – even on TV.

When are you open?
We are open every night of the year except Christmas Night 25th Dec.
Can I book in advance?
We do not take advance bookings. All tickets are sold on the night of screening at our ticket box. We are unable to reserve a seat like a cinema, so it is first come, first served. We always recommend you arrive 30 mins before the session time and 60 mins prior on Saturdays and holidays. When we fill up, it is only the latecomers that miss out!
Can I smoke at the Drive-in?
From Dec 1, 2019 the Lunar Drive-in will introduce new smoking restrictions in line with other outdoor businesses. The only designated smoking areas at the drive-in are the last two rows of each theatre. To smoke at any time, even inside your car, you need to either park on the back two rows, or walk to that area. There are no other areas on the drive-in property that smoking is permitted. This includes the use of e-cigarettes.
Do you sell online tickets?
No we don't offer online ticketing; all tickets are sold at the ticket-box only. We do sell a gift voucher that may be ordered online for a birthday, Christmas or other special occasion. It must be exchanged for a ticket at our ticket box on the night of use. This is an electronic voucher that you can print or load on your phone.
Can I have my daytime running lights or parking lights on during the movie?
All lights on the exterior of your car must be turned off once the movie has commenced. There are procedures on how to turn off your lights in your car manual, or you can google how to do it. Many cars can run their radio without having the ignition switched on. Instead of bringing on your ignition (dash lights etc) just activate the radio on button. Most Toyotas, Jeeps, Kias and other cars with push-button start can bring bring their radio on simply by pushing the push-button without touching the brake. If you cannot switch your lights off you can also borrow a portable FM radio from the Lunar Cafe for a $5 fee. We do reserve the right to ask you to move to the rear of the theatre or even leave the drive-in with a full refund if your lights cause a distraction to other customers.
How early should I arrive?
We always suggest arriving 45 mins prior to the session start time on weekends and holidays. We do sell out often due to our low prices so don't arrive right at the session start time without expecting some delay in entering the drive-in. Nobody who arrives 45 mins prior ever misses out, only those who arrive at or near the actual session time face that risk. Weekday sessions are not as busy, but the ticket box and Lunar Cafe can still be congested near show start time.
Where is the Lunar Drive-in located?
We are at 115 South Gippsland Hwy, Dandenong. Click on the map on this page for an enlargement. We are now closer to you than ever before, from Eastlink take the Dandenong Bypass Road and it will take you almost to our driveway entry. We are also less than 20 minutes from Chadstone on the Monash freeway. Melway reference 95 H2.
Why visit the Lunar Drive-in?
The benefits of the drive-in theatre compared to a multiplex cinema are many:
- No need for a babysitter, bring the kids and let them enjoy the show or fall asleep in the back seat!
- Carload pricing. A family of 5 (or 6 or 7) is only $30 here, it is over $80 at Village or Hoyts!
- No parking problems, drive right in and select your spot.
- You can talk during the movie, even on your phone!
- Brouse, text or talk on your mobile at anytime during the movie!
- Eat, drink and relax in your own private Gold Class (car). Enjoy Burgers, popcorn, donuts, hot chips and drinks from our Lunar Cafe during the show.
- Come dressed as you are.
- Cheaper movies! Bargain sessions every night and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday offer even further discounts. See pricing above.
- You control the sound level, never too loud or too soft.
- Bring doonas, pillows and sleeping bags, lie down in the back of your van, wagon or ute.
- Sit on outdoor chairs next to your car or on our lawns on warm nights.
- Bring a walkman or portable stereo so you can wander around and never miss any of your movie.
At what time do the gates and Lunar Cafe open?
Generally they open at least 30 minutes before the first session of the night. On Fridays, Saturdays and holidays the gates and Lunar Cafe open about 60 minutes before the first session. The opening time is listed with the session times on our home page.
Why is it so busy?
Saturday night is always our busiest night. In fact it is over twice as busy as most other nights even during holidays. We love the big crowds, but admit queuing times do drag out. Why not consider visiting on another night? On Mon – Wed our carload tickets are only $25 and there is minimal risk of us selling out
What happens if it rains?
We operate in all weather conditions except heavy fog. Many enjoy spending a cool rainy evening snuggled in their car under the doona, we are often told it adds a great atmosphere when misty rain sweeps in!
Can my kids sit on the roof of our car?
We do not permit children or adults to sit or lie down on the roof of a vehicle. In addition to the obvious danger of a fall, it obstructs the view of cars parked behind you.
Can I hold a parking spot for my friends?
You may hold a parking spot only up until the feature commences or the session has sold out. Once the main feature has commenced or the session has sold out, then you must give up the position to anyone else who wishes to park there or at the direction of Lunar staff.
What happens if I cut the entry line?
If you cut into the line of cars waiting for entry and are spotted by one of our staff, you will not be sold a ticket until you exit and take your place at the end of the line of cars. If you refuse to leave, police will be called and you can explain to them and the other angry customers why you should be entitled to jump the queue and not wait in line like everybody else.
Low Clearance Entry
Our ticket box verandah has a 2.2 meter height clearance. Use the far right or far left lanes if you have a 4wd with roof racks, a tall van or truck. Do not try to enter under the verandah thinking you might make it; you won't!
Can I bring in outside food?
Whilst we do permit outside food in the drive-in theatre, we offer a full range of quality hot snacks at affordable prices in the Lunar Cafe. Hamburgers, hot dogs, donuts, chips, popcorn, soft drinks and choc-top ice creams are just some of the items on offer, click on the Lunar Cafe section for more details. The Lunar Cafe helps keep this drive-in open as most of your ticket money goes straight back to Hollywood. Your support of the Lunar Cafe is very much appreciated.
When does the Lunar Cafe Close?
The Lunar Cafe closes 10 minutes after the start of the last session. e.g. if the last advertised session of the night is at 11:30, then the Lunar Cafe will close at 11:40.
What happens if I speed or do burnouts in my car?
You, and all ocupants of your car are out, straight out, without refund.
Can I smoke weed or use other drugs?
No. We have zero tollerance for any type of illegal drug use anywhere within the drive-in. It is the fastest way to find yourself booted out without a refund.
How Do I Apply For a Job?
We accept applications for positions any time and hire staff once or twice per year. All applications must have details of education and previous experience (if applicable), valid references, your availability for work and a recent passport-type or ID picture. You can post it or email it to us – details in our "Contact Us" section.
Where can I find the session times?
The home page of this website has our current session times. Our 24hr session info line is 9706 9988. We are also on facebook, Your Movies, Melbourne Citysearch and Yahoo movies also display our session times along with many other websites. Our giant highway sign at the entrance displays current films and times.
Can I stay and see a second movie?
Yes, you can add any second film for only $5 per person or $10 per carload. That means you can see two first release movies for less than the price of one movie at a multiplex! You may purchase these tickets for the 2nd movie at the time of entry or if you are still in the drive-in. You cannot leave and return and receive these $5 tickets. Please ask at the ticket box to make sure your first movie finishes before your second movie starts!
Can I bring along a BBQ?
No, BBQ's are not allowed at the drive-in.
Is my dog allowed at the drive-in?
Yes, you may bring your dog as long as it is on a lead at all times and does not enter the cafe. Doggy doos must be collected; families play on our grassed areas!
Can I swear loudly, upset others around me or disobey a request by management?
Only if you want to find yourself kicked out without refund.
Can I let my kids run around without supervision?
We love seeing kids enjoy a night out at our drive-in, but please ensure they are supervised at all times. We do not permit children to behave in a manner that may distract from the viewing experience of others. Once the movie has commenced, please ensure your kids are no longer running around in front of the screens or around the cars. We also expect children to respect other children in the playground and inside the Lunar Cafe and take turns with the games and rides.
Can I bring my outdoor chairs?
Yes, you may bring outdoor chairs. We require they be placed in front of your vehicle. If they are alongside your vehicle they may not be seen in the dark and another car may try to park in that position.
How do I listen to the sound?
The speakers have been retired and we broadcast the sound in FM stereo. If your car does not have an FM radio, you can hire one from us; a deposit of $20 is required. There is a $5 fee for radio hire. The hire fee and deposit may be paid via EFTPOS or cash (total $25), but the deposit of $20 will be returned via cash only upon return of the radio in good order. We only have a limited amount for hire so please bring along your own portable FM radio if your car does not have one. A builders radio or boom box is great if you are sitting outside. Please note that Bluetooth sound via a phone does not work as the Bluetooth sound is in delay.
What happens if I try to sneak someone in inside my boot?
Everyone in the vehicle will be ejected from the drive-in without refund and you risk being charged with theft. You'll also look like a total loser in front of your mates, girlfriend and the other customers as we drag you out. Please don't try to steal from us; we'll guarantee it is a far from pleasurable experience for you.
Can I bring in a video camera or camcorder?
We take seriously the issue of copyright infringement. Our theatres are patrolled nightly by our security staff and those caught using a camcorder, mobile phone, PDA or ANY recording device whilst films are running will be reported to police and AFACT (the government movie anti-theft organisation), they will also be ejected without refund. You may take still pictures of your family and friends, but only up until the session start time. If you see anyone recording sound or images from our screens let the manager know immediately and you'll receive a reward.
Why aren't your sessions advertised further in advance?
We generally advertise session times about 1 – 2 weeks in advance. We constantly strive to bring the most popular films to you and we need to continually assess both our own and the national boxoffice figures to ensure we do this. Locking in sessions too far in advance takes away our flexibility. For an indication of upcoming films, see the Movie Info page.
How can I advertise on the Lunar Drive-in screens?
We can now offer very affordable full motion on-screen advertising to local advertisers. The rates have been slashed. Contact us direct from our contact page and we'll send you details.
May I walk into the Drive-in and join my friends or family who are already inside?
Yes, but you must purchase a separate ticket. Once a car or person is inside the drive-in their ticket cannot be used to allow others into the drive-in. It is not transferable.
Can I park my car along the entrance driveway and join my friends or family inside?
No vehicle may park along the entrance driveway or on the grass areas next to it. We need every lane in order to enter and exit vehicles from the theatre. If you do park there, we will treat the car as abandoned and you risk having it dragged out of the drive-in. The nature strip areas in front of the drive-in are all no-standing areas and you park there at your own risk.
Can I remove my shoes?
In and around your car it is relaxing to take your shoes off during the movie, however if you walk to the Lunar Cafe or toilets, we strongly recommend wearing some type of footware. Whilst every effort is made to remove sharp objects from our grounds, small sharp items may be left over from the Trash & Treasure market that uses the drive-in each week.
Is my information recorded?
Every vehicle entering or leaving the drive-in is captured on our video survelilance system. We also record number plates of cars entering the drive-in. This inormation is collected in case of any film piracy events or other illegal activivities and is shared with Victoria Police from time to time and also AFACT (The Australian Government agency that deals with film piracy and illegal recording). If you do not agree to your vehicle details being recorded, then please exit the drive-in.
Can I sit on the ground next to my car?
No, if you must sit outside your car, only sit directly in front of your vehicle on a chair and away from the roadway and access lanes between rows. Do not sit on the ground or next to your vehicle. Cars move about in the dark and may not see you.
How do I contact a staff member during the show?
Whilst it may be easy just to email or Facebook a message to Lunar if you require assistance during the session, our email and Facebook are not constantly monitored. Staff are always busy cleaning and preparing. You will find staff available in the Lunar Cafe, Ticket box or projection building. If you need to talk to a manager or staff member please visit them in one of these three areas.

It was designed by Pininfarina and the Ferrari Styling Center. The F12 replaced the 599 GTB. The F12 comes with a 6.3-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine. It produces 730 horsepower. The F12 is also equipped with a very fast and smooth F1 dual clutch transmission. When it was first introduced the F12 was the most powerful production Ferrari had ever produced. The F12 will get from 0-6 mph in 3 seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph. The F12 has a unique feature called the Aero Bridge which routes air running over the bonnet through the flanks and along the sides of the vehicle. This, along with the F12's underbody aerodynamics, increases downforce considerably which allows the F12 to remain quite stable at high speeds. The F12 also uses Active Brake Cooling Ducts. The ducts only open when the brakes are to provide cooling. When closed the ducts also help to reduce aerodynamic drag. Top Gear Magazine named the F12 the Supercar of the year in 2012. Ferrari reported the F12 lapped the famed Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 23 seconds. That was a full second faster than the 599 GTO and three and a half seconds faster than its predecessor the 599 GTB. Being that the F12 is still one of the fastest production automobiles around and it was the last Ferrari Pininfarina assisted with the design, well these are just a few of the reason it is very special.

In tomorrow's Wall Street Journal, Senator Norm Coleman declares: "Kofi Annan must go."
HINDROCKET adds: See also this item from today's Washington Times:
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said yesterday he was disappointed in his son for accepting payments from a key contractor in the oil-for-food program for more than four years longer than had been previously acknowledged.
Kojo Annan, 31, had been employed from 1995 to 1997 at Cotecna Inspection SA, a Geneva-based firm that had been inspecting humanitarian goods imported by Iraq with U.N.-administered proceeds from its oil sales. He served briefly as a consultant until 1998.
But the younger Mr. Annan continued to receive as much as $2,500 a month from Cotecna until February 2003 as part of a "no compete" agreement, according to chagrined U.N. officials, who have said for years that the payments ended in late 1998.
"Naturally, I was very disappointed and surprised, yes," the secretary general told reporters yesterday morning. "I understand the perception problem for the U.N., or the perception of a conflict of interest and wrongdoing."
Yes, well, as Norm Coleman points out, it isn't just a perception problem. Putting the most favorable construction on the U.N.'s admission, Kojo Annan lied to the organization and concealed the fact that he was receiving up to $30,000 per year from the principal firm that inspected "humanitarian" goods shipped under the Oil for Food program–goods that were often substandard, if not non-existent.
As a lawyer, I find the "non-compete" payments intriguing. What unique skills or proprietary information did Kojo have that made a non-compete appropriate? What extraordinary circumstances warranted a four-year non-compete–an unusually long term–given that Kojo only worked for Cotecna for two years, from age 22 to 24? What was the geographic scope of the agreement, and what activities was Kojo prohibited from carrying out? What did Kojo actually do during the four-year term of the non-compete?
Or, more bluntly: what is the evidence that this was a legitimate non-compete agreement, rather than a bribe? And if it was a bribe, what was Kojo Annan in a position to deliver to Cotecna?

Scott: Port shutdowns not an option for FL families | News
Tallahassee, Florida - Gov. Rick Scott and leaders of Florida ports are urging President Obama to take action to prevent a possible strike by port workers this weekend.
The contract for members of the International Longshoremen's Association is set to expire Saturday night. The ILA is negotiating with the United States Maritime Alliance.
Gov. Scott says a strike by thousands of longshoremen could affect 550,000 jobs in Florida and send shockwaves through the state's economy. He says transporting cargo shipments generates $66 billion a year in Florida.
"If a strike or lockout occurs at that time, Florida's largest ports could be shut down, sending shockwaves through jobs all across our state, including transportation jobs like truck drivers, locomotive engineers, container ship jobs, manufacturing jobs, warehousing jobs, and many other jobs beyond the ports themselves."
Scott and port leaders are calling on the president to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act to prevent a work stoppage at ports. That measure orders a cooling off period and mediation in contract talks.
"Our message to President Obama is simple: a shutdown of Florida ports is simply not an option for Florida families. We need the federal government, President Obama, to support Florida ports as we have done at the state level," said Gov. Scott.
Port of Tampa CEO Paul Anderson echoes the governor's call for President Obama to intervene if a strike happens.
Anderson warns that a longshoremen's strike, combined with the pending federal fiscal cliff, would have devastating economic consequences.
"A strike this Saturday, combined with the ongoing negotiations between Congress and President Obama regarding the so-called fiscal cliff could be a one-two combination knockout punch for our nation's economy."
JAXPORT Chief Operating Officer Chris Kauffmann says he's concerned about a disruption in business because JAXPORT is so crucial to the economy in northeast Florida.
"We have a significant yearly dollar impact to the northeast Florida economy like everyone else. Ours is roughly $19 billion on an annual basis and when you look at all the jobs that are supported by all the various operations here in Jacksonville, we affect 65,000 jobs in northeast Florida so there is a tremendous impact upon all of the supply chain associated with the trade."
Gov. Scott says the strike could shut down Florida ports and cost the nation's economy more than $1 billion a day.

Cassava Pancakes
Saturday, October 30, 2010
This is a another simple tea time treat, using similiar ingredients with the cassava parcels, except that the coconut content is higher here.
I did not create this pancake out of nothing. It is actually a popular fare among the local Chinese, and it's called 煎木薯糕. I just recreated it with my own proportion of ingredients. This is one of my all time favourites :)
Cassava Pancakes
Source: Wendyywy
1 cup packed grated cassava
1/2 cup packed freshly grated coconut
1/3 cup sugar, more or less
Cooking oil for pan frying
1. Combine cassava and coconut.
2. Mix in sugar, do not add full amount, but taste as you go. Remember to spit out the raw cassava after tasting.
3. Heat a pan and put some cooking oil. (Non stick pans will not require a lot of oil to fry this)
4. Put in 1 heaped teaspoon of the mixture and using an oiled spatula, press it down to form a 1 cm thick pancake. Fry until both sides are golden and drain on absorbent paper.

Statistical Process Control and Control charts, or Process Behaviour Charts, are at the heart of quality. They are the only tool that can monitor and aid in improving processes. Control Charts are the only tool that can predict process behavior into the future. This application is essential for every employee. It uses interactive games and exercises to teach the fundamentals of Control Charts. It teaches how to draw them, without the need for statistical software, how to use them, and interpret them. It shows how to use control charts for any type of data. Today, there is a greater lack of understanding of Control Charts than ever in the past 3 decades. A great number of myths and nonsense has grown up around them. For example, Control Charts are NOT probability charts; Control Charts do NOT depend on normal distributions; Control Charts do NOT depend on the Central Limit Theorem; Control Charts do NOT require standard deviation calculations; Control Charts do not need assignable cause to be removed to calculate control limits; adding Western Electric Rules beyond Rule #1 simply increases false alarms. There is a massive need for re-education in Control Charts This application cuts through the nonsense and teaches Control Charts as they are intended, based on Dr Shewhart, Professor Deming and Dr Wheeler. When used correctly, Control Charts are easy to use and understand by every employee. This application makes understanding enjoyable, through the use of interactive games and exercises. One such game is based on a true story in process improvement, over a century ago. By playing games to generate data, Control Charts become much more meaningful. Our aim has been to make every module something different and exciting ... a dramatic departure from the boring e-learning of the past. Most importantly, the interactive exercises learners a feeling of the meaning of the various types of Control Charts. It shows interactively how effective XmR charts are and how they do not rely on any particular data distribution.

TAMPA | Five years after Todd "MJ Kelli" Schnitt sued his radio rival, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, it could all be over today.
TAMPA | Five years after Todd "MJ Kelli" Schnitt sued his radio rival, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, it could all be over today.
The defense rested its case Tuesday. Closing statements are expected this morning.
The six jurors and four alternates have listened to two weeks of testimony that included hours of radio clips and testimony from the shock jocks themselves.
Schnitt and his wife say they were haunted by Clem's accusations.
On Cox Radio's WHPT-FM 102.5, Clem targeted Schnitt. He called Schnitt's wife a "whore." He accused her of conspiring against him. He insinuated that Schnitt accepted favors and gifts in exchange for plugs on-air — and that he may have tampered with radio ratings.
Clem says it was nothing more than theater and a "radio war," a long-honored tradition in the business.
On Tuesday, jurors heard from Brent Hatley, who worked with Clem and was charged along with him for an incident involving the on-air slaughter of a hog.
They also heard from Kimberly Collelo, known by her former radio name "Jabberjaw" on the MJ Morning Show.
She was the subject of one of the radio clips in evidence.
Collelo had called Clem's show and said she had heard from a "reliable" source that Schnitt had tampered with radio ratings.
She didn't know first-hand that Schnitt had done that, she testified Tuesday. She had simply heard that from a radio producer, Andrew Eden.
Later, Eden testified he never told Collelo that Schnitt had skewed ratings.
The defense rested its case late Tuesday morning.
In the afternoon, Circuit Judge James Arnold denied the defense's request that the judge throw out the remaining defamation charges. He had already thrown out five of them. A dozen more remain.
Arnold also denied the plaintiff's motion for a directed verdict.
Before the jury was brought in Tuesday, the lawyers involved in the case once again quibbled over issues surrounding allegations that Clem's lawyers set up one of Schnitt's lawyers for a DUI arrest.
Attorney C. Philip Campbell Jr. was arrested Jan. 23 after leaving Malio's Prime Steakhouse, and accusations more dramatic than the trial itself followed.
According to court testimony Friday, Campbell met a woman at Malio's who never revealed her full name, Melissa Personius, or the fact that she is a paralegal for Adams & Diaco, the firm representing Clem.
Campbell talked about his big case, according to testimony; the woman ordered drinks.
Police got a tip about Campbell at about 7:30 p.m. and police officers waited near the restaurant.
An officer pulled Campbell over at about 10 p.m.
Campbell left his trial bag in Personius' car and did not get it back for 20 hours.
Schnitt's attorneys are seeking cellphone records and have served subpoenas and set up a deposition for this week, said Norman Cannella Sr., who is representing one of the lawyers at the firm of Adams & Diaco.
Cannella said Schnitt's attorneys have filed a motion for contempt.
The judge once again shut down the attorneys.
"This court is not going to hear that this morning," Arnold said.
"We are five minutes into the jury's time. … I am not going to take up any of the jury's time taking up these subpoenas. That can be for another day."

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a method of obtaining detailed pictures of internal body structures without the use of radiation or radioactive substances of any kind. This is accomplished by placing the patient in a magnetic field while harmless radio waves are turned on and off. This causes the body to emit its own weak radio signals which vary according to tissue characteristics. These signals are then picked up by a sensitive antenna and fed to a computer which produces detailed high field mri: images of the body for interpretation by trained radiologists.
High Field MRI utilizes a cylindrical tube in which the magnet is enclosed. Patients are placed in the unit lying down, either head first or feet first. Since this configuration produces optimum magnetic field strength, the signal and images produced are of the highest quality. HF MRI exams usually take 20 – 30 minutes.
You can help to produce a high quality image by lying still during the examination while breathing normally. The average scan takes 5 to 15 minutes – the complete examination about 30 to 45 minutes – during which several dozen images will be produced.
Types of scans that should be performed on a high field MRI scanner include:
• Temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
• Brain – Sella
• Liver and pancreas
• Non-Brain MRA (i.e. aorta)
• Recent CVA
• Patients in severe pain or who can't hold still
Conventional high field Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems usually operate at stronger field strengths than open MRI systems and typically provide clearer, more detailed and easier to read scans. On a high field or closed MRI system, the slices can be thinner, improving the information the physician uses to diagnose the problem.
High field MRI units may also take less time due to the higher magnetic field strength. High field scans can be one and a half to two times faster than an "open" scan. High field Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanners also provide the most advanced imaging techniques, some of which cannot be performed on an open scanner. Many optional accessories are available.
High field MRI systems are indicated for central nervous system and vascular studies – particularly contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) studies, abdominal work that requires the patient to hold their breath, fat saturation techniques, certain cancer studies and any study that requires the highest resolution.

Canada's love affair with Tegan and Sara was reaffirmed Sunday night as the duo won Junos for Group of the Year and Single of the Year for their hit song, Closer.
Add their Saturday night Pop Album of the Year award for their sixth album Heartthrob and the Quin twins became the winningest act to come out of this year's Juno celebration.
The wins solidified Tegan and Sara's long transformation from indie folk-rock darlings to flat-out pop stars.
"When we asked our parents if we could play music instead of going to university, they were really mad at us," Tegan Quin said, while accepting the Group of the Year trophy. "Thanks to everybody who supported us since we were teenagers."
And the gold-selling Harmony train kept rolling. Juno co-host Serena Ryder doubled up on her Artist of the Year win a night earlier and added Songwriter of the Year to her growing C.V.
Tugging at her falling pants, Ryder said, "I lost a bit of weight because I stopped drinking for the Junos to stay on point."
Montreal rockers Arcade Fire won Album of the Year for their pomp and disco-dance filled fourth album, Reflektor. The band is away on tour, a bummer for fans who instead got to watch a video performance of Afterlife.
Pow-wow vocals, electric beats and turntables proved a winning mix for Ottawa's A Tribe Called Red, who took home the award for Breakthrough Group of the Year.
An anticipated performance by Robin Thicke was cancelled, but not because of protesters who said his hit Blurred Lines is sexist and demeaning to women (or was it? Cue the conspiracy music). A news release earlier in the day confirmed Thicke had been placed on "mandatory vocal rest" and had already cancelled performances Friday and Saturday.
Thicke lost the Juno Fan Choice award Sunday to Justin Bieber. Bieber wasn't present to accept the award, presumably because he wanted to spend a quiet night at home. His win was greeted by cheers and boos in equal measure.
Ryder, accepting her Songwriter of the Year award, stuck up for Bieber, saying, "I really think Justin Bieber is an amazing musician and deserves every part of that award because he's been working his ass of all his life."
Tegan and Sara came to Bieber's defence as well.
"People just like to pile on," Tegan told reporters. "He's made some mistakes but Sara and I made much worse mistakes when we were teenagers but we weren't famous … I think it's tacky to boo. I didn't like that."
But enough about the awards. What about the show?
It opened cold with a mashup performance by Serena Ryder (What I Wouldn't Do) and rapper co-host Classified (Three Feet Tall). Spirited and fun, but not greater than the sum of its parts.
Co-host Johnny Reid got the crowd on side with a shout-out to Winnipeg's rock history and an accapela version of You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet.
Ryder, Reid, and Classified kept things moving without too much forced hilarity.
Matt Mays, a winner a night earlier for Rock Album of the Year, delivered a driving performance of Take it on Faith.
Sarah McLachlan returned to the Juno stage to perform Beautiful Girl from her upcoming album Shine On. Breathy vocals and sensitive piano. You know, Sarah McLachlan.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield introduced Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees Bachman Turner Overdrive, creators of "the friendliest ear worms in the universe."
The night ended with a roof-raising BTO tribute that saw the hall of farmers joined onstage by Saskatoon shaggy rockers and spiritual god children The Sheepdogs, Matt Mays, Tim Hicks, and Travis Good.
It was a raucous end to a weekend that saw more than 100 acts and untold numbers of fans pack city nightclubs and bars, bringing renewed attention to this under-heralded music centre.
Next year's Junos will be held in Hamilton.

In 1999, I was a member of a committee charged with coming up with a Year 2000 commemorative coin for Tuscaloosa.
In 1999, I was a member of a committee charged with coming up with a Year 2000 commemorative coin for Tuscaloosa.
The front of the coin was easy. Participating New York Times-owned newspapers formed "partnerships" with local institutions to produce events and souvenirs of the millennium, and marketers had given us the obvious concept: "Celebrate 2000." So that's what the front said.
It was to be pretty standard in all the participating communities.
The reverse was more problematic. We were supposed to agree on a landmark that symbolized Tuscaloosa and submit artwork on it.
In some cities, I suppose, the landmark-symbol is pretty obvious. Birmingham has Vulcan. Enterprise has the boll weevil statue. St. Louis has the arch.
But Tuscaloosa? What is the city's symbol?
Nothing came readily to mind, so we kicked around all kinds of things. Denny Chimes. The Drish House. The old building at Bryce Hospital. The Hugh Thomas Bridge.
One by one, they all got shot down. We wound up putting the University of Alabama's President's Mansion on the coin.
That choice wasn't really barf-worthy, though nobody on the committee was really happy about it. Fortunately, the mansion looked pretty good on the coin, which is something of a collector's item today.
The mansion had a history, too. Completed in 1849, it initially was criticized by the Legislature as being "unnecessarily lavish." It was pretty highfalutin for a town where most of the structures were rickety shacks and log cabins.
Then there was that nasty piece of business in 1865 when the conquering Yankees tried to burn it. The UA president's wife is supposed to have talked them out of it.
I like the mansion. As editorial editor of The Tuscaloosa News, I got invited to lunch there on homecoming weekends. One of those times, I met a famous UA quarterback who I had seen a few years earlier when he was crazy drunk and repeatedly threw a knife into a wall in a back room at the Flora-Bama Lounge.
There were no knives thrown that homecoming in the president's mansion.
In retrospect, however, I think we got it wrong for the coin. We should have picked the only Tuscaloosa landmark that thousands, perhaps millions, of people know: Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Perhaps we passed it over because Alabama's football team, led by head coach Mike DuBose, had just emerged from a dismal 7-5 season. We'd beaten Auburn in Auburn, and that was good, but we'd lost to Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi State and Virginia Tech (in the lowly Music City Bowl). It was not a season to remember and perhaps we didn't want the stadium reminding us of it.
Yet from this perspective, the choice seems obvious. Not only is Bryant-Denny the biggest thing around, but it also is the only Tuscaloosa structure that many out-of-towners know, especially fans like me who never spent a day as a student there.
I've noticed that the university is trying to get that kind of fan to enroll, to strengthen bonds (and feed the kitty in the process).
To local people and former UA students, all you have to do is say "The Stadium," and they know immediately what you're talking about, even though the town abounds with stadiums. It's like when older Southerners talked about "The War" and you know they didn't mean World War I or the Spanish-American War.
Bryant-Denny Stadium — named for a great coach and a great UA president — is a huge, yawning edifice but still, most Saturdays these days it's filled with people. Every one of the 101,821 seats is sold.
Tuscaloosa's official population, 91,605, is about 10,000 less than the stadium holds. On football Saturdays, we come close to popping our buttons.
The stadium is an eye-popper. I got to take a tour of part of it just a few years back. Not only does it have a field and dressing rooms, but it also contains a boggling array of facilities: reception rooms, an air-conditioned lounge, food preparation areas, media spaces — you name it.
The best part of Bryant-Denny, however, is the memories that it holds.
I'm old enough to remember when Paul W. "Bear" Bryant would saunter out before a game at Bryant-Denny and lean on one of the goal posts, taking in everything from the crowd to the weather.
There are also memories of Joe Namath, while he could still run.
And there are memories of other great players, including a kid quarterback named Kenny Stabler who threw a ball as well he did a knife. When he came out to play, the students hissed "sssssSnake!"
Later on, he was the best radio color man ever on UA games. But that was a lot later.
One Saturday, I looked out at the swarm of crimson and white-clad fans converging on the stadium and I had the banal but head-rattling thought that every one of them probably had a strong memory — good or bad — of Bryant-Denny.
We should have put it on the coin.
In its own way, Bryant-Denny is almost as impressive as that landmark-symbol of Rome, the Colosseum (originally called the Flavian Amphitheatre).
The Colosseum was finished in 80 A.D. — about 1,850 years before Bryant-Denny first opened in 1929 — but even so, it had a couple of wrinkles that the Tuscaloosa landmark lacks.
One was an awning that rolled out over the 50,000 Colosseum spectators. Anyone who has had to suffer the late afternoon September sun or a drenching winter shower at Bryant-Denny would have a deep appreciation of an awning.
Another thing was a system of elevators that would allow killer animals to pop up in front of gladiators in the Colosseum.
Imagine if they had that at Bryant-Denny! The whole Alabama football team could suddenly pop up, fire in their eyes, scaring off Floridas, Auburns and Tennessees.
You're not likely to see that kind of thing at Bryant-Denny any more than the use of the stadium for naval battles, another unique feature of the Colosseum.
Undoubtedly, that omission is a good thing. So is the fact that nobody at Bryant-Denny is likely to get killed on a thumb symbol like the one they used at the Colosseum — though I must admit, there are plenty of times that I wished we had the same power to execute some of the gridiron gladiators who fought us. Steve Spurrier would not be coaching at South Carolina if we did.
On a family trip to Rome 50 years ago, I got to see the bloody old Colosseum. A lot of it has been mined away over the centuries, but what remains is stupendous.
I imagine a lot of Bryant-Denny will remain to awe the future 1,800 years from now. Tornadoes come through this part of Alabama, but the stadium looks pretty substantial.
What I remember most from the Colosseum of a half-century ago was all the cats that lived there. It seemed that half of Rome's felines were Colosseum residents, though according to one website, only 200 of Rome's 300,000 cats live there today.
Still, that's impressive. I wonder if cats will outlive football in Tuscaloosa?
Somehow, I kind of doubt it.

In accusing Infowars of being an Obama propaganda front to disseminate conspiracy theories about Rick Perry, Dallas Blog writer Tom McGregor invents the most ludicrous conspiracy theory of them all
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Friday, June 24, 2011
Following our exposé of potential Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry's globalist leanings, several neo-con news outlets reacted with a mixture of contempt, fury and in one case, outright frothing idiocy, by claiming that Alex Jones and Infowars were fully paid-up propagandists for the Obama 2012 re-election campaign.
In our story, which was picked up by the powerhouse Drudge Report website on Monday, we documented how Governor Perry is a wolf in sheep's clothing. While spewing rhetoric about Tea Party principles, secession and shooting coyotes, Perry simultaneously worked to sell off Texas' infrastructure to foreign companies and offered enthusiastic support for the NAFTA Superhighway, a key component of the move towards a North American Union, part of the one world government dream of the Bilderberg Group who graciously invited Perry to their elitist confab in 2007.
Perry also aggressively promoted the Rockefeller Foundation-backed HPV vaccination campaign in Texas despite numerous health warnings that have since proven accurate after numerous deaths and injuries caused by the vaccine. In mandating young girls to take the vaccine with an executive order, Perry drew praise from top Democrats but was scorned by members of his own party in Texas.
After pressure groups forced an about-turn, similar to Perry's hand being forced with the TSA grope-down bill, the Governor had to abandon his previous support for turning Texas into a sanctuary state for illegal aliens. For the numerous neo-con blogs that accused us of inventing the fact that Perry supported sanctuary cities, watch this 2003 clip of Mexican President Vicente Fox publicly thanking Rick Perry for signing legislation that would give illegal aliens from Mexico free instate tuition at the Texas state college of their choice.
Lest we forget that Perry was also chairman of Al Gore's campaign in Texas for the 1988 Democratic presidential primaries – his conservative principles shining through once again.
In revealing Perry to be a globalist posing as a down-home conservative, we rankled a lot of neo-cons who have bought into the myth that Perry is a genuine Tea Party-style all American, a man who offers a genuine alternative to Obama.
However, by far the most hilarious response came from Tom McGregor of the Dallas Blog, who assertively accused this writer and Infowars in general of being a fully paid-up Obama propaganda front bankrolled to invent "conspiracy theories" about Rick Perry in order to derail his presumptive presidential campaign by preventing Tea Party supporters from voting for him in the Republican primaries.
Claiming that Obama had used part of his $1 billion dollar campaign war chest to "finance creative methods to attack GOP presidential contenders," by characterizing Perry as a "so-called puppet of a leftist globalist community that is intent on one world government," McGregor went on to write that our article was an "Obama-instigated conspiracy theory" written by myself, who McGregor labeled, "Obama's conspiracy theorist writer, Mr. Watson".
McGregor concludes his piece by giving Obama credit for "taking a creative approach to attacking his opponents," by funding the likes of Infowars to go after Perry.
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (AD)
This is easily the funniest and yet most lame hit piece we have ever had the pleasure to respond to.
A brief perusal of the Dallas Blog website confirms that it is little more than an advert for Perry's presumptive presidential campaign, carrying several positive stories about the Governor.
McGregor's confident assertion that I am a paid propagandist working for the Obama election campaign was somewhat contradicted 48 hours later when I wrote a piece calling Obama a "murderer" and a baby killer for overseeing an unconstitutional war in Libya that recently led to the deaths of five toddlers, images of which were graphically displayed in a disturbing video that I embedded in the article.
Some people might think directly labeling Obama a baby killer was a tad too strong, but I don't think anyone could have taken it as evidence that Obama is paying me to bolster his campaign to recapture the Oval Office in 2012.
Likewise, Alex Jones' devotion to Obama has slipped on occasion, particularly when he devoted an entire 2 hour documentary to exposing how the President was a puppet of Wall Street and Goldman Sachs in The Obama Deception, a movie that received 9 million views on just one You Tube channel and reportedly led to Jones being placed on a White House "hit list," which ranked "25 enemies Obama wants to silence".
Another rough patch in Jones' relationship with Obama coincided with Jones launching a nationwide poster campaign depicting the President as the Joker character from Batman, a project started to "awaken the people about Obama's agenda", and to get "Democrats and Obamanoids going ballistic," for which Jones was denounced as a racist by the establishment media, who called for people putting up the posters to be arrested.
Perhaps Obama just isn't paying us enough – our relationship has been rocky to say the least.
All joking aside, one explanation for McGregor's eagerness to spout baseless propaganda might be the fact that he is also the editor at the English edition of the Chinese government owned publication, China Radio International. So while accusing others of being in the pay of government propaganda ministries, McGregor himself is working for Communist Chinese state media.
The unrepentant fallaciousness of McGregor's hit piece almost makes it look like a satire, but the article is genuine.
While accusing us of inventing "conspiracy theories" about Perry that are in fact manifestly provable and documented, myopic neo-cons who have thrown their weight behind Perry's carefully cultivated yet deceptive image as a grass-roots conservative by smearing his opponents with their own gratuitous conspiracy theories, have revealed themselves to be the most gullible and naive bunch of all.

France Calls For Kagame's Trial
(Kagame lauded as having halted genocide. French judge says he actually instigated it)
A French judge says Rwandan President Paul Kagame should stand trial over the killing of a former Rwandan leader, an act that led to genocide.
Jean-Louis Bruguiere, who is investigating the death of President Juvenal Habyarimana, also said nine of Mr. Kagame's aides should be arrested. Habyarimana's plane was shot down in 1994, igniting fighting in which some 800,000 people were killed.
An international criminal court is trying suspects in the killings. French legal authorities are investigating the case because the aircraft had a French crew. Judge Bruguiere is expected to sign international arrest warrants in the coming days, the Associated Press news agency reported.
Under French law, a warrant cannot be issued for Mr. Kagame because he has immunity as a head of state, AP said.
Rwanda's two most senior generals - armed forces chief James Kabarebe and army chief-of-staff Charles Kayonga - are among the nine aides suspected of involvement in the downing of Habyarimana's plane.
Some 800,000 minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered when Hutu extremists went on the rampage following Habyarimana's death. The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Tanzania has tried 31 suspects since it began in 1997. Twenty-six people have been convicted and five acquitted. The court is due to be disbanded in 2008.

**NOW SOLD OUT - all 100 units have now sold**
The BoardWeevil returns after a year away - streamlined and with powerful additions. Welcome back this classic BugBrand device - a truly portable synth/sonic-world! These will be in regular production through 2012.
The BWeevil is built around a sonic-heart of three simple Square-Wave Oscillators which are combined via two quasi Ring-Modulators. This is followed up by a powerful Resonant Filter - a State-Variable version with manual blending between Low-pass & High-pass responses and variable modulation via the first Oscillator. This filter can produce some lovely pinging sounds when run at full resonance with low-frequency oscillation settings.
Two key circuit-bend techniques are applied to this core to bring the machine to vivid life. Firstly there is the Power Starve control for the Osc/RingMod generators, which sends them into crazy-mode. Then there are a total of 18 touch-points which allow you to directly interface with the circuitry, creating new routes of electronic flow (these all now feature current limiting resistors for added circuitry protection).
There are two independent outputs onboard - each has its own level control and they give distinctly different sonic results. The MiniAmp/Speaker (which I very nearly omitted from the design.. foolish me!) allows Weeviling on-the-move, while the transformer-isolated 1/4" Jack Output allows for more regular studio usage.
One new step from the previous BWeevil is that the circuit is now built around Surface Mount components (SMD) - these are all mounted to the underside of the circuit board, allowing for a clean & compact layout up top. From the beginning of 2012, all units are 'part-produced' - the SMD parts are auto-inserted & soldered by machine and we then hand-finish the building here in Bristol with all the extra hardware (switches, pots, etc). The first 40 units, the Yellow version BWeevil2011, were entirely hand-built.
Power is, as always, battery only - use a standard PP3 9V cell (a basic one is supplied with the machine). For further details about the BoardWeevil, read the instruction sheet images linked above.
BWeevils come in a hand-stamped cardboard box with foam inserts, printed instruction sheet, PP3 battery and 1 year parts guarantee. The machine measures approx. 4 x 6 inches.

Big belts to play JPJ Arena
The big belts are coming! After years of planning and about $131 million in construction spending, the John Paul Jones Arena will open with... drumroll... World Wrestling Entertainment, formerly known as WWF. But while that's the first event listed on today's press release from SMG Management, the company booking these entertainment riches, spokesperson Anne Hoof says that wrestling is just a taste of what's to come in UVA's new 16,000-seat basketball palace. Other events, she says, will be publicly announced prior to the Arena's opening in July.
WWE's "Monday Night Raw" comes to Charlottesville for the first time August 14 and will be telecast live on the USA network. According to Wikipedia, the "Raw" program is widely considered the flagship program of the WWE (with a taped program "Smackdown!" serving as a sort of B-side).
Other Arena events over the coming year include Disney on Ice, the Lipizzaner Stallions, Sesame Street Live, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and the previously announced Harlem Globetrotters.

You should do a story about what a sham "professional" wrestling is!
It's time Charlottesville stopped catering to its intellectual elite and brought some entertainment for those who like to bust heads. After spending $131 million on the arena, a "world class city" is finally getting some "world class" wrestling.

Caldera Lakes – Undefined
I shouldn't have to introduce Caldera Lakes, but since I haven't written about them before I guess it's somewhat necessary. Two chicks who make amazingly awesome music individually as Married In Berdichev and Kevin Shields come together and make extra amazingly awesome music as Caldera Lakes. They've put out stuff on top notch labels like SRA & Deathbomb Arc, with their newest self-titled bit of hushed creepybliss on newcomer død univers.
Three tracks is all it takes for these girls to drown your sorrows in ghostly folk drone. The tape opens with "Contained Etherealness," which, as lame a name as it is, provides a pretty apt description of what goes down. Highly restrained backwards guitar pulses with skittering shaman relics & nymphs whispering the secrets of the mist. A wispy trip into the twilight, forest adventures that result in nothing but mystery. The next track is wayyy darker and scarier. Harsh sounds that pierce through dark caves, dripping & twinkling from the fire pit, all while those goddamn sirens sing the beauty of the sun. Fucking intense.
The B side is one 15 minute piece that starts out with a miniature army of chimes, shimmering with a heart of gold. Some grinding static noise works its way in, like rustling leaves before a twister hits. An assortment of minimal electronic textures fade in and out while a faint voice recites incantations & candles flicker in the wind. Blood flows up into the sacred cup, smoke gets devoured by the fire, rain absorbed into the clouds, the ritual plays out in the middle of the night while the fabric of space expands & contracts.
Caldera Lakes are just interested in acquiring your soul through the process of mystic drone. No biggy. If you think you can handle that shit, I strongly recommend you nab this hot piece. Only 100 made, with some seriously killer packaging. An oversized clear book, with random scientific illustrations printed on vellum, and a transparent tape. SEXY.
