Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are keeping a typically tight leash on details surrounding the fourth Indy installment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (due May 22). Their team helped squelch renegade plot and image leaks online, shut down the attempted sale of some stolen production materials, and stands ready to bring legal action against anybody violating confidentiality agreements. But don’t worry — taking a good, long gander at the exclusive photo below won’t get you thrown in the slammer. Seen here for the first time, it features Indy (Harrison Ford), a new character named ”Mutt” (Shia LaBeouf), and an old favorite named Marion Ravenwood (Raiders’ Karen Allen, with her back to the camera). For reasons best left unsaid (okay, we have no idea), the trio are careening through the Peruvian rain forest in an amphibious vehicle — yes, there’s a river chase involved in the plot somehow — racing a group of nefarious Russians to find a temple that holds the mysterious treasure of the title. — Steve Daly

Saturday, February 12, 2005 THE VISION CLUB presents 7:30pm Joseph Jarman / Robert Garcia 9pm Ted Daniel's International Brass and Membrane Corporation At Clemente Soto Velez - LES Gallery 107 Suffolk Street at Rivington 7:30Joseph Jarman & Robert Garcia Duo Joseph Jarman – winds & reeds, Robert Garcia - percussion
So who is Joseph Jarman? Art Ensemble refugee? Bruce Lee? Dali Lama? All of the above and more, no doubt.." – Jason Gross, PerfectSound
During the 1970s, Joseph Jarman was an integral player in the freshest approach to black music of the last half-century. As a founding member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Jarman interwove a range of musical traditions as diverse as African percussion, American jazz and blues, and 20th century European music. The result was a level of musical freedom that drew from diverse traditions but had its roots in an African American perspective: Great Black Music, Ancient To The Future." Jarman's own life's journey has interwoven his musical endeavors with his spiritual studies into Buddhism. Jarman's studies in Buddhism and the martial art Aikido became so consuming that he gave up music completely in 1993 only returning to public performance in 1996 shortly before the first Vision Festival. He now performs regularly working again with the Art Ensemble as well as being an important part of the Vision community. Joseph Jarman's approach to music can not be separated from his spirituality. Jarman sees all aspects as interwoven and approaches each performance as part of his own spiritual/musical journey.
Ted Daniel’s International Brass and Membrane Corporation, 9pm Charles Burnham - violin, Joe Daley - tuba, Newman Taylor-Baker - drums
Daniel put on a stirring display of invention and virtuosity. He was equally captivating on trumpet, cornet, fluegelhorn and short and long hunting horns." - David Adler, JazzTimes
Jazz's prodigal trumpeter Ted Daniel is back, and will perform on this night with his new group The International Brass and Membrane Corporation. Daniel was one of the avant garde's first call trumpeters during the late 1960s and 1970s and performed and recorded with various giants including Archie Shepp, Dewey Redman, Sam Rivers, Henry Threadgill and Daniel's childhood friend Sonny Sharrock. Despite his popularity among musicians, Daniel was rarely heard during the '80s and '90s. Ted Daniel has returned to the scene in top form, performing both with his own groups and with various collective projects. The International Brass and Membrane Corporation is Daniel's newest performing group. The group performed at Dave Douglas' trumpet festival at Tonic last year and received highly favorable reviews in Jazz Times and elsewhere. The group's unusual instrumentation of trumpet, violin, tuba and drums is unique in the jazz world, allowing for a wide range of sonic possibilities.

It's a measuring stick.
Those are the words used by Ashland University head wrestling coach Josh Hutchens on this weekend's (Dec. 19-20) Midwest Classic in Indianapolis, Ind.
The 19th-ranked Eagles go into the Midwest Classic with high hopes of placing well, as some of the nation's top NCAA Division II talent will be on display.
"It's a tougher tournament than it has been in a long time," said Hutchens. "A couple new teams have come in, but we can't worry about who your competition is. We are more focused on how we perform."
The Eagles look to shake off a tough loss to seventh-ranked Pitt-Johnstown on Dec. 10.
At 184 pounds, junior Brandon O'Neill sits seventh in the country and goes into the tournament with past success. O'Neill finished third at the Midwest Classic in 2014 and was 6-1 in the tournament. A repeat of a season ago won't come easy though, as O'Neill will see three of the top eight wrestlers in the country at 184, including Pitt-Johnstown's Travis McKillop, who pinned O'Neill on Dec. 10.
This weekend also will mark the debut for AU wrestlers Jordan Murphy (174) and Nigel Cross (285). Both have competed in open tournaments so far this season and done well. Murphy comes in with a record of 7-3, and Cross is 3-1.
Eagle senior and top-ranked 197-pound wrestler Joe Brandt has been scratched from this weekend's lineup due to illness.
In a battle at 133, Chandler Minnard will get the nod this weeked. Minnard stands at 3-2 on the season, and is sharing time with freshman Jerry Fenner III. Sophomore Trae Coopwood also will see some time at that weight.
Day 1 of the Midwest Classic will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday (Dec. 19).

The govt still haven't announced the decision on the 11 SH2G(I) yet. Wonder if they are waiting to announce in the budget or around budget time. Must be interesting negotiations when you think about it. On one side Kaman really wanting to sell them and on the other, the NZG desperately wanting to buy them as cheaply as possible because they know if they don't, they are up for either a billion dollar MOTS* buy or they kill the naval helo capability which in NZs case kills the RNZN ASW capability.
surely they have made a decision by now. and surely they know they won't and cannot afford to be spending close to a billion of a new naval Helo. Do you know how many loaves of top quality Tip Top bread that is to help nourish school kids
Post by ngatimozart on Apr 17, 2013 21:09:13 GMT 12
I know Beagle and it's frustrating because this has been going on since, what September last year. But there will be no leaks especially from the NZ side of negotiations so we just have to wait. Originally they said they'd spring for $150 milllion and if I remember correctly it was thought that the Kaman was after around US$250 million for them so. I think Kaman have to front up with half that money to the Aussie govt. It could be over any rectifications the NZG want made to the aircraft at the vendors expense or customisations the NZG want. For example, is it possible the NZG wants the aircraft reverted to 2 x pilots in front? Who knows and we won't until an announcement is made regarding the purchase and what is being purchased plus the outfitting of the aircraft.
One consolation it aint anywhere near as bad as the Canadian ASW helo procurement project. Haven't yet figured out which is the worse project that one or the RAN Seasprite one.
Even as Kaman churns out parts for Sikorsky and anticipates other big projects, however, the company is struggling to resell a batch of its own helicopters, 11 sophisticated, just-barely secondhand SH-2G Super Seasprites. Today, ten of the submarine-hunting aircraft rest side by side in a warehouse on Kaman's 200-acre Bloomfield campus, their 44-foot main rotors stowed in airtight canisters and other parts packed and neatly stacked beside them. (The 11th, a demonstration aircraft, is kept elsewhere on the campus.)
"They're available now," Neal Keating, Kaman's chief executive, said last week.It's a rare case in which a global aerospace supplier is marketing the same military equipment a second time — after the government of Australia backed out of a long-sealed deal — and can offer it almost immediately.Sal Bordonaro, president of Kaman's helicopters division, put the price at "one-third the cost of a comparable aircraft." Industry analysts estimate a resale price in a range of $8 million to $15 million.
The Australians paid about $600 million for the aircraft, including spare parts, a flight simulator, service support and other materials. But after a long dispute, Australia reached a settlement in early 2008 to return all 11 aircraft — without recouping much of its investment.The aircraft themselves were originally valued at $40 million each, including software development costs, according to Kaman."Fifteen million would be a heck of a bargain, " said Mark Bobbi, an aerospace analyst in Florida.
Intended to operate from ships, the twin-engine Super Seasprites can be equipped with missiles, torpedoes, depth charges and machine guns, and can carry up to six passengers. Designed for maritime surveillance, submarine warfare, search-and-rescue missions and other naval operations, they fly at a top speed of 173 mph. Advanced touch-screen controls enable two people to operate the aircraft, down from three for a traditional Seasprite.
One full-motion flight simulator is also available.In all, Kaman says it lost — and has already written off — about $100 million on the program.The company remains solidly profitable, and its financial health does not depend on a resale. (For its fiscal third quarter ended Oct. 2, the company reported operating earnings of $14.7 million.) But reselling the Super Seasprites could help the company save some face after the failed Australia deal, one that Teal Group, a Virgina-based aerospace consultant, called "disastrous."
"Any time you have a program that is terminated, there's still some stigma associated with it," said Keating, the Kaman CEO.So Kaman, which remanufactures but has not lately made and sold new helicopters, continues to scour the earth for a nation eager to buy its souped-up Seasprites. The aircraft are descendants of a helicopter first manufactured in the 1960s that Teal Group has called "a legendary rotorcraft."
Reselling them hasn't proved easy, and it could take several more years. Navies haven't been burning through helicopters as fast as land-based forces. And 11 helicopters is a small lot for buyers looking for decades of use."Somebody who already has an existing fleet — that's exactly what you want," Teal Group analyst Richard Aboulafia said of Kaman's best option.
There are three current users — Egypt, New Zealand and Poland, which together operate 18. Kaman executives said they're focused on them and three other unnamed potential buyers, but also marketing to a broader group that includes NATO and undisclosed nations in South Asia, South America and Eastern Europe. Kaman is now overhauling Egypt's fleet of nine.Australia complained that Kaman failed to deliver the aircraft's advanced software systems on schedule. Kaman acknowledges this, attributing the delay to a subcontractor, and says the work has since been completed.
The company denies that the aircraft were ever unsafe, as some in Australia alleged, and Kaman said the U.S. military operated an earlier version for decades without any serious problems. The company also pointed out that Australia never acquired the type of naval ships that were to serve as the Seasprites' platform.As part of the 2008 settlement, Kaman forgave more than $30 million that Australia still owed, and promised to pay the nation about $25 million regardless of whether Kaman is able to resell the aircraft.
Kaman took a Seasprite to the Black Sea Defense and Aerospace Exhibition and Conference in Bucharest, Romania, in the fall of 2008 to advertise its availability, and has since entertained potential buyers in Bloomfield for test flights.There's no binding deal yet, but Bordonaro said he's years away from selling them for scrap."We have always believed that re-marketing the SH-2G(I)s as a cost-effective, highly capable solution to foreign militaries would be a multiyear effort," he said."
I still strongly feel that NZDF is the play thing of SSC, Treasury & MFAT with none of those interested in or caring about NZDFs issues or requirements. The SSC shouldn't have control over the senior officer corp promotions and appointments nor should MFAT have a large say in where and what NZDF does, especially in capability. Treasury needs to take two very large steps back and undertstand the uniqueness that are military forces and their operation requirements, culture and needs. MFAT is trying to neuter NZDF as much as it can - it is enamoured with Clarks and Goffs world view, even after 4 years of Key.
Sounds like typical bureaucracy to me. Rampant wastage, empire building, nepotism and cronyism is not limited to my little corner of the civil sector it seems.

Still don't think it's anywhere as bad as the Canadian S92 purchase. It started in 2004 with the simple (so it was thought) of putting ASW sensors on helo and gear in the back of the aircraft. Sikorsky are the main contractor. It has gone the way the RAN Seasprite did except Sikorsky haven't met the contract deadlines after a number of revised targets. So the Canadian Public Works and Building Department who are managing the project have pinged Sikorsky with a $ 8 million cash penalty and Silorsky have said that they won't have the helo ready until 2015 which has made the Canadians even more unhappy. The Canadians thought that it should be a relatively simple project for Sikorsky considering there expertise in maritime helos.
@ Dave - All (4) Frigates and OPV's are either on deployment (Te Mana) or back from deployment (Otago) or being worked up (Te Kaha has emerged from her refit and Wellington is about to deploy to the SWP). HMNZS Canterbury has had its remedial work completed.
8 is a good number. When I was at ^we had issues but it was common for aircraft to comeout of phase servicing, then go away on board for 4-5 months and come back with only a few hours leftbefore the next phase was due. Meanwhile back at WP it was s truggle getting others serviceable so that training could be done. 8 frames means 2 away, 2 on phase servicing, leaving 4 available for local tasking and training.
Post by ngatimozart on Apr 19, 2013 14:11:06 GMT 12
Because Dave they found that five were not enough aircaft. It's th old military multiples of three. 1 x fully operational, 1 x doing training minor maintenace and can be bought into action at short notice. 1 x in dep maintenace. Which. So that gives us 2 helos availlable 10% of the time plus another 2 or 3 at around 75 - 90% of the time. Now we don't have all Seasprites aboard all capable ships at all teh time, which in the RNZN is the 2 x FFH, 2 x OPV and Canterbury which can take from memory at least 5 seasprites. They are not operating the Seasprite off the Endeavour for some reason. So you might only have say three Seasprites at sea at any one time. The simulator will mean less flying hours used for training.
Ok now to answer your question. These Seasprites are going to be operational until around 2025 - 2027. That was the plan last year. The current situations with ships on minimal crewing alongside will not last forever especially with Jack Steer as CN. Canterbury has just come out of rectification of builders stuff ups. I think it is Te Mana heading to South China seas for exercises with USN, RAN, JMSDF. Vietnmese Navy and PLA Navy. Te Kaha is going into upgrade. Crewing wise things will get better. Funding wise, the IPVs and OPVs do inter agency work so part of their funding comes from other agencies.

Swaziland’s police chief Isaac Magagula has accused a discussion panel led by Jay Naidoo of trying to cause ‘anarchy and instability’ in the kingdom.
Police, acting without warrants or a court order, broke up the meeting at the George Hotel, Manzini, last Friday (6 September 2013) and deported panel members from Swaziland.
The meeting was to be a Global Inquiry Panel on trade union rights and democracy in the Swaziland, where the main workers’ federation and political parties are banned and King Mswati III rules as sub-Saharan Africa’s last absolute monarch.
The inquiry was an initiative of the International Trade Union Confederation, Trade Union Congress of Swaziland and South Africa’s Congress of South African Trade Unions to hear workers’ accounts of their experiences in order compile a report to be taken to the International Labour organisation for the Committee on the Application of International Standards.
The panel was to be chaired by Jay Naidoo, former General Secretary of COSATU and former Minister in the South African Government under the President Nelson Mandela.
Police National Commissioner Magagula told media in Swaziland, ‘We wish to state that as far as our careful analysis of the bigger picture is concerned, the organisers are being economical with the truth in relation to the actual purpose of the meeting. This is because all factors surrounding it suggest that it was not merely intended to discuss bread and butter issues for workers, but it was part and parcel of a broader agenda to further ulterior political motives aimed at breaching the peace and causing anarchy and instability in the country.’
The Times of Swaziland, the only independent daily newspaper in the kingdom, reported, ‘He said it was striking that the Global Inquiry Panel had attributes of the Global Week of Action on Democracy in Swaziland.
‘He said the Global Week of Action on Swaziland was conceived with motives that undermine the peace and security of the country.
‘The Commissioner said the meeting was likely to shift the focus of the nation from the ongoing elections process and thereby cause confusion and instability, particularly “given that members of the certain proscribed entities had made threats to sabotage the process.”’
Various trade unions all over the world staged activities in support of trade unionists in Swaziland and the global week of action led by the Swaziland United Democratic Front (SUDF) and its campaign wing, the Swaziland Democracy Campaign (SDC).
The police action was criticized globally as an attack on the constitutional rights of Swazi people to freedom of assembly.

I stayed with my 2 kids for 3 nights. The hotels website says there's a pool, but there's not. That was dissapointing for them. The continental breakfast was very average and all carbs. My son did enjoy making his own TX shaped waffle however. Our room had a fridge and microwave so we were able to keep other food there. Also, it was pretty noisy from the I-10 traffic. Overall it fit our needs because we just needed a clean place to sleep and shower. We'd stay there again if we needed a cheap place.

I requested a no smoking room when I made my reservations. When I arrived, they gave me a handicap-accessible corner room on the ground floor. As a single woman, I asked if there was anything on the second floor and they said no. I stayed for over a week. This particular room was very noisy. Housekeeping failed to clean it about 25% of the time. When I would call the office to tell them, I was told that housekeeping had left for the day. Huh? The door to my room was consistently difficult to open. I told the manager and he came over to try it out. He, of course, was able to open it without a problem and laughed at me when I tried and failed. (I figured out that you had to be quick AND use an upward pull to unlatch it.) I never used the pool. The free breakfast included waffles and fresh fruit. Next time, I'll pay a little more and stay at the hotel next door.

Theater of Acculturation
The Roman Ghetto in the Sixteenth Century
- PUBLISHED: February 2001
- SUBJECT LISTING: Jewish Studies
- BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION: 272 Pages, 6 x 9 in, 20 illus.
- ISBN: 9780295980225
- Publisher: University of Washington Press
Generations of tourists visiting Rome have ventured into the small section between the Tiber River and the Capitoline Hill whose narrow, dark streets lead to the charming Fountain of the Tortoises, the brooding mass of the Palazzo Cenci, and some of the best restaurants in the city. This was the site of the Ghetto, within whose walls the Jews of Rome were compelled to live from 1555 until 1870. Kenneth Stow, leading authority on Italian Jews, probes Jewish life in Rome in the early years of the Ghetto.
Jews had been residents of Rome since before the days of Julius Caesar, but the 16th century brought great challenges to their identity and survival in the form of Ghettoization. Intended to expedite conversion and cultural dissolution, the Ghetto in fact had an opposite effect. The Jews of Rome developed a subculture, or microculture, that ensured continuity. In particular, they developed a remarkably effective legal network of rabbinic notaries, who drew public documents such as contracts, took testimony, and arranged for disputes to go to arbitration. The ability to settle disputes relating to marriage, divorce, inheritance, and other internal matters gave Jews the illusion that they, rather than the papal vicar, were running their own affairs.
Stow applies his concept of “social theater” to illuminate the role-playing that Jews adopted as a means of survival within the dominant Christian environment. He also touches briefly on Jewish culture in post-Emancipation Rome, elsewhere in Europe, and in America, and points the way toward a comparison with the acculturational strategies of other minorities, especially African Americans.
Authors & Contributors
Kenneth Stow is professor of Jewish history at the University of Haifa and was the 1996 Kennedy Professor in the Renaissance at Smith College. His numerous publications include Alienated Minority: The Jews of Medieval Latin Europe and the two-volume The Jews in Rome.
Introduction: The Jews of Rome and the Rhythms of Roman Jewish Life
The Jew in a Traumatized Society
What Is in a Name? or, The Matrices of Acculturation
Social Reconciliation, from Within and Without
This is an illuminating and compelling story, told with insight and subtlety. It is highly recommended for students of religion, history, cultural studies, and a host of other disciplines.- Religious Studies Review

The study to consider dredging went down by 73 to 26 percent in unofficial numbers reported by the Key West Citizen newspaper. I'm guessing, like a lot of skeptics, that won't be the end of the matter as Big Business and Big Money wants big cruise ships to visit Key West.
Mayor Cates beat Margaret Romero 54 to 45 percent ( in numbers rounded up more or less) and as that is her second showing she did quite well, whether on dissatisfaction with the somewhat autocratic mayor or satisfaction with Romero a well educated candidate with experience that could be helpful to a city facing the same economic future as everyone else Up North.
In the Utility board race the Mayor's wife got 33 percent of the vote but she will not face off against the bodybuilder and photographer who calls himself simply Vidal who got more than 30 percent of the vote. He will be in the runoff against top vote getter Tim Root who got 40%. That might be an interesting race on November 5th for a rather uninteresting job.
Jimmy weekly beat Tom Milone handily so the city commission stays as is. The turnout was 41% which is a lot for an off year election so kudos for that surely go to the dredging referendum. Now it has been handily defeated lets call it what it was: a study to study dredging to widen the channel.
Next the mayor comes back for another election to get Key West voting the same year as major elections and he may face more and stiffer competition.

Amid the excitement over the presidential primaries on Super Tuesday, over half a dozen Indian-Americans won primaries for House of Representatives elections scheduled in November. The winners include Democrats Ami Bera and Ro Khanna, incumbents from California, who registered an easy win in the 7th and 17th Congressional Districts respectively.
While Bera is seeking sixth consecutive term, Khanna has thrown his hat for the third consecutive term. Khanna belongs to the progressive caucus of Democrats and has endorsed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for the presidential raced. After Khanna’s win was declared, the Indian American lawmaker took to Twitter to express gratitude for the victory. Khanna also slammed Republican Ritesh Tandon, who will contest against him in November, saying silicon valley rejected “bigotry”.
I am so grateful to everyone for our victory tonight. We are exceeding our 2018 totals, beating Ritesh Tandon who ran on Islamophobia and right wing nationalism in India. We are getting the most votes in the Bay Area! Silicon Valley rejects bigotry.— Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) March 4, 2020
While Tandon came a distant second in the Republican primaries, top two contestants of a party can contest the elections in November, as per the laws of California. Other Indian-American candidates include Nisha Sharma, Rishi Kumar, Manga Anantatmula, and Priston Kulkarni. Nisha Sharma will challenge incumbent Mark DeSaulnier after winning the primary from 11th Congressional District of California.
Kumar, a Democrat, came second in the primaries and will challenge another Democrat incumbent Anna G Eshoo for 18th Congressional District of California. Anantatmula won the Republican primary from 11th Congressional District of Virginia to challenge the six-term Democratic Congressman Gerry Connolly. Democratic candidate Sri Preston Kulkarni registered a major win from the 22nd Congressional District of Texas. "Thank you for your support! We couldn't have gotten here without your help and your support," he tweeted.

This monthly cooking series features husband and wife team Barry and Kelley Courter.
BARRY: There are some flavors that you expect and crave when fall rolls around, but butternut squash has found its way to the top of the list for me. I love the member of curcubit family in soup, as a pseudo pasta or just by itself, but this lasagna has become a new favorite.
Kelley has served it twice now this season for dinner guests. The first time was as a side dish for the meat eaters in the family and as the entree for the vegetarians. Most recently it was the entree at a small gathering, and it was served with a salad and baked apples. Both times it was very well received.
KELLEY: While the list of ingredients and the assembly seems a little challenging, it really is just about fixing it to taste. It does take a little while to prepare -- mostly because of the bechamel and tomato sauces -- but it is worth it. You could skip making your own tomato sauce and use a prepared sauce, but it wouldn't be as good.
I think it would work well as a side dish at Thanksgiving, especially served along with a ham.
BARRY: The combination of the squash with the mushrooms and the cheese was perfect. It really went well with the salad and a nice bottle of wine, and I'm looking forward to having leftovers for lunch.
1 medium butternut squash
1 package no-boil lasagna sheets
1 jar Alfredo sauce
2 packages Italian blend cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan
Tomato Sauce (recipe follows)
Spinach Mixture (recipe follows)
Bechamel Sauce (recipe follows)
Cut the squash in half and place on a lightly oiled baking pan, skin side up. Roast in oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes till tender. Remove from oven and let cool.
Remove and discard the seeds from the squash. You will a scooping meat onto the shells while constructing the dish.
Lightly oil a large deep Pyrex baking dish.
Place about 1 cup of tomato sauce in the bottom of the pan. Lay lasagna sheets on sauce. Take chunks of squash and spread out on sheets, top with more sauce and cheese. Next layer add lasagna sheets, then spinach-mushroom mixture. Top with a little cheese and Alfredo sauce. Repeat layers alternating squash and spinach mixture. You should have three squash layers and two spinach layers. The last layer should be sauce only with cheese.
Top with bechamel, allowing it to roll down the sides of the lasagna. You want it to completely cover. Add Parmesan.
Lightly tent with foil and bake at 375 degrees for about one hour. Remove foil and bake for about 30 minutes till sauce has browned slightly.
Remove and let sit about 15 minutes.
Serves 6-8 as entree or 10-12 as a side dish.
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 2-ounce can whole tomatoes
1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon to taste
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1 small sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
4 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
Melt butter in pan. Saute onions and garlic till wilted. Add crushed and whole tomatoes, breaking them into chunks. Add wine, spices and herbs. Reduce on low till slightly thickened -- about 40 minutes. Set aside.
2 tablespoons butter
1 package fresh spinach
1 package fresh crimini mushrooms
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
Melt butter in pan. Add garlic and mushroom and let cook a bit before adding spinach, allowing it to wilt. Set aside.
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon nutmeg
2 cups whole milk
1 cup half and half
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 eggs beaten
Melt butter in saucepan and add shallots. Cook a few minutes to wilt. Add flour and cook, slowly adding liquids. Cook until thickened. Add cheese and cook till melted. Let sauce cool, then add beaten eggs right before you are going to place sauce on lasagna.

Oooh yes, you know you love it any time there's a chance to see new Brad Pitt photos. Brad and company (Philip Seymore Hoffman, Jonah Hill, Aaron Sorkin… Read more…
WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT BRAD? I ADMIRE YOUR TALENT AND YOUR GOOD WORKS FOR HUMANITY..
Traffic was horrible! But I heard from a few of my friends who were out there that Brad seemed gracious and even stood out in the public view long enough to wave at fans etc…. they didn't see angie tho, eh no real loss lol!! But I like Jonah Hill, sucks that everyone made this movie all about brad…!
Brad's co-stars and producers should have kicked Brad in the balls for knocking God and his marriage to Jennifer Anniston right before the premier. If Brad had not given up on God and prayed for wisdom, Brad would not have been so DUMB to upset Jennifer Anniston fans and remind women what a douche he is was about his marriage to her all over again. I will NOT go see his movie.
the newly skinny (and rapidly aging) Jonah Hill is too freaky now.
Brad Pitt's prime is over. He needs to stand aside for the NEW studs of Hollywood.
I think he's wearing Hotel de Ville's
Re: blsdjan –
Sheesh you act as though he divorced you.
Jen is over it…apparently you are not. I suggest counseling.
Re: blsdjan –
Jennifer Aniston is just fine, for a bad "actresss" she's made an obscene amount of money off you fans.
My husband and I were in the stands when they filmed the Hatteberg 20th game win home run. We were there ALL night filming the same scene for HOURS. It was mostly boring, but we did wee Brad, Jonah and Phillip. Brad and Jonah were SUPER NICE, Brad is really Hot in person. Phillip was the only one that seemed kind of cold, never acknowledged the crowd or fans but I've heard he get's super into a character so maybe it was that.
A true bball man would have loved Pitt's role; this story and others like it is what keeps people going back to baseball. Pitt will likely still bring viewers, so it's all good; and he'll maybe become a bigger fan of the game. I Have to see it, huge BBall fan and non-pro player.
this movie has been getting AMAZING reviews. i think it's like 90% on rotten tomatoes. have been enjoying Pitt's interviews he's been giving. his views on religion and gay marriage are so spot on and so logical. also loved what Clint Eastwood said about marriage equality.
Brad arranged a trainer for Jonah Hill, Jonah should send Brad a basket of Personal Hygiene products. Since he hooked up with the whacktress Angie, he always looks like he needs a good scrubbing. Shave and Shower Brad and keep your big trap shut!
I never found him very attractive, but it's quite apparent that he has lost whatever it was that gave him all that hype. But I digress, I'm shocked by the fact that this movie is getting so much attention, it seemed like just another movie, not something special. But, can't know until I've seen it.
Re: Whoaaa – His hair has no lustre or body. A good stylist could put it all back.
Re: blsdjan – Some one should kick you in the balls for feeling you have the right to judge .and why should he feel dumb about upsetting aniston fans ,they dont watch his movies anyway.im not a fan of hers ,cuz i dont think she can act.but i watch her movies cuz im a fan of her costars who carry the movies that she brings down.
maybe hes trying to be like justin and not shave . please shave ..
He is filming War Z that is why he has not shaven or cut his hair. He is sooo hot still and a great actor in his prime. Moneyball #1 and bringing up award talks.
Re: Magda40 – agreed
Here we go!

An insatiable desire to find the best pizza in the North East led former joiner Calvin Kitchin to start his own New York style pizza parlour, in the middle of Heaton.
Now approaching two years of trading, the 29-year-old is looking to expand beyond his Chillingham Road shop which has even convinced native New Yorkers of its authenticity.
After spending nearly three years working on the recipe for his pizza, the self proclaimed “foodie” hit upon the perfect pie using a homemade marble slab arrangement on his home BBQ, finished off in his oven.
“I’d been eating a lot of pizza, and found that a lot of Italian restaurants in the area simply weren’t that good at it. Online research led me to the Coney Island pizzeria’s in New York and the type of places started by neapolitan immigrants. I just couldn’t believe that we didn’t have this type of product in the UK,” said Mr Kitchin.
“I hit upon this recipe and all of a sudden friends and family were coming by the house to buy these pizzas. I was doing them all the time, using boxes from a local takeaway to supply them in. Pretty quickly I realised I needed a shop because people loved the product so much.”
Opening up under the ‘Cal’s Own’ name on Heaton’s Chillingham Road, Mr Kitchen quickly established himself amidst a landscape of big international chains, serving heavily advertised products at top prices.
Although he admits the margins are fine, his commitment to the authentic New York pizza has brought increasingly discerning consumers through the doors to sample a product which bears little resemblance to his big name competitors.
Mr Kitchin added: “I have this quest for pizza perfection, which has fed into everything we do at the shop. For instance, my tomatoes are San Marzano D.O.P (Denominazione di Origine Protetta), the best you can get, and I use a water filtration system in the dough-making process.
“We’ve had quite a few Americans, and New Yorkers, visit the shop - and they’ve been blown away by it. They will tell you that pizza lovers in New York don’t need to go to the likes of Papa Johns or Dominoes, because the independent, street corner pizza shop is so good. That’s what I’d like to introduce here.”
Mr Kitchin, who attributes much of his trade to exposure through review site Trip Advisor, says he now has ambitions to open up a second shop.
He added: “Trip Advisor reviews were really good at getting us going in the early days, because people who are really into pizza would seek us out. Although we have done well in our current location, I’m keen to build up a lunchtime trade - and ideally we’d need to be in the centre of town or Jesmond to do that.
“When I started up I didn’t have the money to be in those places, so Heaton was a good test-bed where I could prove the business worked, in an affordable space.”


Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) is a powerful decision analytics tool, yet it faces challenges when modeling health risks for the indoor environment. One limitation is uncertainty in fomite recovery for evaluating the efficiency of decontamination. Addressing this data gap has become more important as a result of response and recovery from a potential malicious pathogen release. To develop more accurate QMRA models, recovery efficiency from non-porous fomites (aluminum, ceramic, glass, plastic, steel, and wood laminate) was investigated. Fomite material, surface area (10, 100, and 900 cm2), recovery tool (swabs and wipes), initial concentration on the fomites and eluent (polysorbate 80, trypticase soy broth, and beef extract) were evaluated in this research. Recovery was shown to be optimized using polysorbate 80, sampling with wipes, and sampling a surface area of 10100 cm2. The QMRA model demonstrated, through a relative risk comparison, the need for recovery efficiency to be used in these models to prevent underestimated risks.


First Bank of Missouri is suing Kansas City for allegedly defaulting on a $2.25 million bond tied to a neighborhood improvement district in the Northland.
The Gladstone-based bank, part of the Valley View Financial Group, is the trustee for the bond, which Armed Forces Bank owns. First Bank filed suit March 21 in Clay County Circuit Court, seeking to accelerate the outstanding debt and force the city to make a catch-up payment of about $430,000.
The 108th Cookingham Neighborhood Improvement District (NID) was created in 2001 for a residential development just west of U.S. Highway 169 and south of Interstate 435. In 2005, the Missouri Development Finance Board issued a $2.25 million infrastructure facilities revenue bond to pay for street and electrical improvements, sewer and water line extensions and grading.
First Bank, the city and the developer, Shawnee-based Sunflower Development LLC, signed a financing agreement that calls for the city to make special assessments on the property owners in the NID, payable for a period of 20 years.
In the suit, First Bank claims that because the bond is secured by the special assessments, it is “in substance and effect” like a general-obligation NID bond that would be backed by the full faith and credit of the city. The bank argues the city has not diligently pursued collection of the assessments.
City attorneys declined to comment.
In July, the city filed foreclosure petitions against two property owners in the NID, Oklahoma-based SpiritBank LLC and Tulsa KC LLC. An attorney for the companies, Heather Zerger of Zerger Mauer LLP, could not be reached for comment.
Unlike tax increment financing, which captures increases in revenue from existing taxes, an NID bond creates a new revenue stream.
Unless First Bank can persuade the court that the bond for the 108th Cookingham NID should be treated as an NID bond — a novel legal theory, experts say — it may not be able to force the city to do more than it already has done.
“The city could say the (Missouri Development Finance Board) issued the debt, not the city,” said Roxsen Koch, a lawyer with King Hershey PC. “If these are revenue bonds, the sole source of revenue is that which is pledged.”
That would be the special assessments, not the city’s general fund.

“It didn’t matter if it was coming from the left or the right, you should condemn violence 100% of the time.” I sat upright when former Deputy Press Secretary Sara Matthews said this during the July 21 January 6th committee hearing.
This is an important statement in any society, but especially for our democracy.
Unfortunately, far too few of our leaders – or even our neighbors – are making statements like this. As a result, we’re normalizing the use of violence more and more.
We’ve all seen the videos of punches thrown on airplanes over masking and school board meetings requiring police presence. Given what we’re going through, this increase in aggression is understandable. As humans, we’re hardwired to crave certainty, autonomy, and validation. When we don’t get those things, we feel threatened – and we act out like we feel threatened.
That’s what a lot of the conditions today are doing. So much is uncertain about our world and seems to remove our ability to control our lives: fires and floods, rising prices, mass shootings in places we used to feel safe. Our toxic polarization means that we are constantly putting down the “other side” in ways that activate the threat responses of those we demean. All of this triggers our threat responses and can lead to aggression and violence.
But allowing our threat responses to remain on high only makes things worse. We get into rages quickly, which adds to others’ uncertainty. We unfriend people, which limits our contact with other human beings, often including family. We immediately take umbrage at others’ remarks instead of probing – did this person truly mean to hurt me or did I misread them?
In other words, we start to normalize aggressive, threatening behavior that once was definitely not normal. This creates a vicious cycle, increasing our fear and distrust of others, which limits our ability to work together as communities and as a democracy.
So what can we do? Yes, there are overarching policy changes we can be making. We can control the amount of violence in video games and on tv. We can reorient our judicial system away from its current adversarial winner-and-loser approach to court cases, making more frequent use of mediation where parties honestly discuss the situation and arrive at mutually agreeable solutions.
We can also do things in our own daily lives. We can recreate “old” norms of democratic behavior. At a minimum we can call out violence in our society and require our leaders to do the same. Here I take heart in another recent moment, as a female gate attendant stood up on a bench between an aggressive passenger and a gate attendant, successfully ending a fight by yelling “no!” She called out the violence as unacceptable. She upheld normal, nonviolent behavior.
We don’t all have to put ourselves in between fighters like that gate attendant. But we all can condemn violence 100 percent of the time, and build a healthier society and a stronger democracy.

I'm just after some advice on the Mountain Ghost Class act from Dragon 348 (p86).
I'm very, very interested in playing a Dwarven ninja (Mountain Ghost). Do you think it would be unreasonable to swap out the ninja class weapons with the Mountain Ghost weapons?
As I first read it, if I want to be proficient in the Mountain Ghost weapons, I'll need to take out four Exotic Weapon Proficiency feats (Ninjas are considered automatically proficient with the Ghost Spike).

Closing arguments are scheduled to begin on Thursday morning in the criminal trial of former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro. Navarro is facing charges of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the January 6th riot. The trial has progressed quickly this week, with jury selection taking place on Tuesday, followed by opening statements and witness testimonies on Wednesday.
Government attorneys argued in their opening statements that Navarro’s noncompliance with the subpoena was a clear-cut case. They emphasized that the charges were focused on his failure to provide documents and testify. Navarro has been indicted on two counts of contempt, each carrying a potential sentence of up to one year in prison and a maximum fine of $100,000.
Navarro’s defense attorney acknowledged that his client accepted the subpoena and did not dispute many of the presented facts. However, he argued that Navarro did not willfully fail to comply with the subpoena, which is a crucial point in the case.
Three staff members of the January 6th committee testified as witnesses for the prosecution, while the defense did not call any witnesses. The jury is expected to receive the case on Thursday afternoon and may deliver a verdict later in the day.
Before the trial, Navarro made claims of executive privilege to avoid the contempt charges, asserting that former President Donald Trump had directed him to invoke this power. However, the judge rejected this argument, stating that executive privilege should not be invoked without strong evidence.
Navarro, on his way to the courthouse, carried a sign with a photo of Trump, calling him the “Commander-in-chief.” He declined to speak to reporters as he left the courthouse.
If found guilty, Navarro is prepared to appeal the verdict. He is one of several Trump allies who have faced contempt of Congress charges in recent years, including Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows.

The saying 'there's no such thing as a free lunch' only applies to ordinary Americans. For Michelle Obama there most certainly are free lunches, and so much more that she never has to open her wallet for. The receipt above surfaced during the election campaign - the beginning of the never ending, ongoing campaign.
Across America, the economy continues to bleed jobs:
THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- DECEMBER 2009
Nonfarm payroll employment edged down (-85,000) in December,
and the unem-ployment rate was unchanged at 10.0 percent,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Employment fell in construction, manufacturing, and
wholesale trade, while temporary help services and
health care added jobs.
Household Survey Data
In December, both the number of unemployed persons, at
15.3 million, and the unemployment rate, at 10.0 percent,
were unchanged. At the start of the re-cession in December
2007, the number of unemployed persons was 7.7 million,...
Unemployment rates for the major worker groups--
adult men (10.2 percent),adult women (8.2 percent),
teenagers (27.1 percent), whites (9.0 percent),
blacks (16.2 percent), and Hispanics (12.9 percent)--
showed little change in December. The unemployment rate
for Asians was 8.4 percent, not seasonally
adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
Among the unemployed, the number of long-term unemployed
(those jobless for 27 weeks and over) continued to trend
up, reaching 6.1 million. In December, 4 in 10 unemployed
workers were jobless for 27 weeks or longer.
(See table A-9.)
The civilian labor force participation rate fell to 64.6
percent in December. The employment-population ratio
declined to 58.2 percent. (See table A-1.)...
Among the marginally attached, there were 929,000
discouraged workers in December, up from 642,000 a year earlier.
(The data are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers
are persons not currently looking for work because they believe
no jobs are available for them. The remaining 1.6 million
persons marginally attached to the labor force had not
searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for
reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities.
Establishment Survey Data
Total nonfarm payroll employment edged down in
Americans are struggling. Children are going to bed hungry across the land, but Michelle Obama is feeling no pain. As veterans struggle to make ends meet, and Michelle Obama mouths platitudes of how she cares about them, the social staff in the White House earn the big bucks to ensure Michelle Obama's busy schedule is kept on track.
You can find more data here.
According to stats from the National Center for Children in Poverty:
Research suggests that, on average, families need an income of about twice the federal poverty level to meet their most basic needs. Children living in families with incomes below this level—$44,100 for a family of four in 2009—are referred to as low income. The United States measures poverty by an outdated standard developed in the 1960s.
In Washington, there are 886,406 families, with 1,532,447 children.Low-Income Children: 32% (483,345) of children live in low-income families (National: 41%), defined as income below 200% of the federal poverty level.(source)
But don't tell Michelle Obama that.
Let me be clear...(!) I do not begrudge the Obama children the best education in a private school that the taxpayers' dollars can buy. EVERY child deserves access to education. (The UN says so.) Every American child, and their family, should never have to go to bed hungry.
No, my beef is with Michelle Obama. The Obama family campaign beat home the point that Obama and his wife felt the pain of 'ordinary' families right across the '57 states.' In one gushing, nauseatingly sycophantic video during the campaign, much was made of Mrs Obama wearing a $30 dress; you know, like us common folk. And a majority (slim?) of the American people bought into the myth, and now Mrs Obama is finally proud of America as she sits in the lap of luxury in the White House. We won't even get into her $500 shoes that she famously wore to feed the homeless.
As homeless veterans have NO idea where they will sleep on any given night, Mrs Obama's highly paid staff work tirelessly to massage her public image. Mrs Obama's staff make sure she is seen, and heard - at least once, anyway - telling military families that she cares about them. Meanwhile veterans are fighting for every ounce of post deployment rights they have earned. As Obama spouts on about "Jobs" being his administration's number one priority, Mrs Obama's staff enjoy a job status that many Americans can only dream of:
Michele Obama's personal staff:One.. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)Two.. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director ofPolicy And Projects For The First Lady)Three.. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)Four.. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)Five.. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)Six.. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)Seven.. $84,000 - Lilyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)Eight.. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)Nine.. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Project for the First Lady)Ten.. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)Eleven.. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B.(Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)Twelve.. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)Thirteen.. $60,000 Fitz, Alan O.(Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)Fourteen.. $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)Fifteen... $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)Sixteen.. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)Seventeen.. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)Eighteen.. $43,000 - Tubman, Samanth a (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)Nineteen.. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)Twenty.. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)Twenty-One.. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)Twenty-Two.. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)Total.. $1,591,200 in annual salaries
The original of that was posted in Canada Free Press, but that link apparently no longer works. I DID find it at Examiner.com. At a time when BHO is trying to ram a flawed, and deeply unpopular health 'reform' bill (or whatever it is being called today,) down the throats of average' Americans, it is safe to say that all of Mrs Obama's staff have access to the gold plated health services that are paid for by the taxpayer.
Take a look at some of those job titles. Even with my limited experience in the business/corporate world, and just on a cursory reading of the above, I have to ask: WTH are they doing? Rhetorical question of course, since just those bare figures show that the American public is being fleeced - royally?! - in an unprecedented way. History shows that NO other first lady has needed that many staff.
In the interest of balance, I did research that last claim of previous first ladies' staff, and came across this:
The museum page said that former first lady Hillary Clinton had a staff of twenty in addition to fifteen interns and volunteers. The museum also said that Eleanor Roosevelt had two staff members, Malvina Thompson and social secretary Edith Helm.
Click for White House Museum First Lady Page.
No, I did not check out that last link, since at about midnight of election day, BHO minions revamped the official White House site to rewrite history. Yes, I checked. And no, we won't talk about the interns in the Clinton administration, who worked for the perks, rather than bloated salaries.
Whatever the truth of previous administrations, in today's economy, it is more than insulting that a woman who has NO official, elected role, should enjoy the obscenity of such perks. And of course, it has to be asked: just how many does it take to write a letter, or book her photo ops? Absurd, of course, since obviously those luxury trips on which she accompanies her husband are arranged by her husband's staff.
In this new era of 'transparency' so loudly proclaimed at every opportunity by BHO, seems to me that America needs a bright light shining into the White House, and an explanation of just why Mrs Obama needs all these over-paid (and obviously under-worked) staff at her constant beck and call.
But as one commenter on the Examiner story said:She doesn't have to justify this, she's an Obama!!!! Special,
They are changing America - remember?Yep, they sure are changing America, and America is finally waking up, and asking: Can we afford the Obamas? Come the next elections, I expect Americans to 'write a letter' in the ballot box and send a loud answer to that question.
H/T Diane for the original link.

BRANDS HATCH, KENT
One of the most iconic motorsport venues in the world, Brands Hatch attracts an impressive line-up of prestigious national and international events each year.
The Kent circuit's blend of sweeping corners and rapidly changing gradients, including the famous Paddock Hill Bend, make it one of the most popular tracks in Europe among professional riders and drivers. Over 30 events are held at the circuit each year including DTM, British Superbikes, British Touring Cars and the FIA Formula Two Championship.
The circuit was originally created as a cycling track in 1926, and since then it has witnessed some of the most significant moments in motorsport history including Ayrton Senna's first car win and Nigel Mansell's maiden Formula One victory. It also staged the Road Cycling events at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
OULTON PARK, CHESHIRE
Oulton Park is widely acknowledged as one of the most picturesque circuits in the country, valued as much for its stunning surroundings as for the spectacular racing it produces.
The track itself has always been popular with fans due to the superb views of the circuit available from the spectator banking. 35,000 fans regularly flock to the circuit for the annual round of the British Touring Car Championship.
Alongside the BTCC, the Cheshire track hosts two rounds of the British Superbike Championship as well as the HSCC Gold Cup, where the finest sports cars, saloons and single seaters from the past 70 years roll back time and take to the track.
BEDFORD AUTODROME, BEDFORDSHIRE
Bedford Autodrome is the only UK circuit specifically designed to provide the ideal environment for guests to push their cars to the limit in optimum safety.
With no motor racing taking place, the venue does not feature extensive Armco barriers - instead huge run off areas mean that guests can extract every last inch of performance out of our vehicles in a safe, controlled environment.
The site features four main circuits that contain a challenging mix of high speed corners, slaloms, chicanes and heavy braking hairpins to really test any car's capability.
The complex is based at a 384 acre site in Thurleigh, north Bedford, and is also home to the PalmerSport corporate motorsport event and the FIA Formula Two Championship.
You can drive the sweeping circuits at Bedford Autodrome with M3 Master.

Let’s just face it, for the generation that played MMORPGs back in the late 90s and early to mid-2000s, it’s mostly about nostalgia these days. Nothing quite compares to whatever you played back in the day.
Last month we posted our favorite Everquest nostalgia and before that some of our favorite nostalgia-inducing classic WoW videos. This time around we figured we would bring you some Burning Crusade nostalgia as it is being released later this year for WoW classic.
TBC is still one of the most beloved if not the most beloved WoW expansion. Vanilla WoW demolished all competition in the MMORPG space, and as TBC came along the game had higher player numbers than any MMO before it could ever dream of.
Below is a list of our favorite TBC nostalgia-inducing content. This is for all of you who can’t wait to go back to 2007
The World of Warcraft Website from 2007
There’s something special about websites from the ’90s and early 2000s, and I love looking at old gaming sites especially through the Wayback Machine.
The old World of Warcraft site is a true gem and it’s really well preserved compared to many other old MMO sites.
Not all dates work well on the Wayback Machine, but the snapshot shown below from January 20th, 2007 works pretty well and is from just after the TBC release.
Fox TV Report
A lot has changed since 2007 and gaming has moved more and more into the mainstream. If and when World of Warcraft and other MMOs made it into the mainstream media it was almost always in a report like this where the tone is close to mocking of gamers, focusing mostly on how addictive the game is.
It’s pretty fun to look back at now though.
The Burning Crusade PvP Videos
One of the things TBC is often remembered for is being a good time for PvP. Classes were more balanced but gameplay shifted from the larger scale battlegrounds to arenas if you wanted the best gear.
There are plenty of videos out there if you want to get your PvP nostalgia on before classic TBC launches, likes this one from Vurtne.
Before the internet took completely over, we used to have something called magazines. My mom wouldn’t let me play games 24/7, so part of the day was spent reading articles about WoW in various gaming magazines.
Speaking of my mom, I also wasn’t allowed to get the collector’s edition, but my friend had it and that just made the fact that I didn’t have it a lot worse.
I couldn’t find much content from Blizzcon back in 2005, but the video below provides a recap of the announcement of The Burning Crusade.
For a more in-depth look, check out the video below as well where Lead Game Designer, Jeffrey Kaplan provides some interesting info on the design of World of Warcraft’s first expansion.
Jimmy: The World of Warcraft Story
A cautionary tale for everyone that plans on playing TBC with a friend. Be sure to agree beforehand before choosing between Aldor or Scryers.
The Burning Crusade Zboard
Zboards were all the rage in the MMO gaming community for a while and came in a few different editions.
The TBC one came with emote buttons, raid functions, a follow and an invite button, and a few other neat functions.
I would love to see a modern version of this. Think a cross between a Zboard and a Corsair K100.
That’s it for our Burning Crusade nostalgia trip. I’m sure we missed something on the list, so if you got a favorite piece of content or gear that should be on the list, leave a comment below and maybe we’ll include it in part 2!

There are now more chances than ever, 24 in fact, to reel in a life-changing barramundi in the Northern Territory thanks to Australia’s richest fishing competition, Million Dollar Fish.
Joining the 12 x $1m barra already released, an extra 12 fish have now been tagged as $1m fish. This means there are 24 ‘big ones’ out there – the most in the history of the competition.
There are also 80 x $10,000 barra to be caught.
Million Dollar Fish, supported by SportsBet, is run by Northern Territory Major Events Company. CEO Suzana Bishop says someone is guaranteed to reel in a million dollars during Season 9, and the odds have never been better.
“We’ve kicked off 2024 with the most million-dollar fish ever and we are definitely giving away a million dollars this season, so there has never been a better time to visit the Northern Territory,” she says.
“This is a unique competition in a unique destination. Nowhere else in the world could fishing change your life like this. Head to the Top End and enjoy world-class fishing in our pristine waterways, plus the chance to become a millionaire!”
SportsBet NT Operations and Partnerships Manager Thijs Bors says there is just a few months of Million Dollar Fish Season 9 left.
“As the major sponsor of Million Dollar Fish, SportsBet is thrilled to be playing a part in making one lucky fisho a millionaire and helping dozens of others become $10,000 richer,” he says.
“With less than 10 weeks of Season 9 left, now is the time to register and get out on the water before it’s too late!”
Once a $1m fish is caught, all remaining fish, including those tagged at $1m, will become $10,000 fish.
Season 9 runs from 1 October 2023 to 31 March 2024. To claim any prize money from a tagged fish, you must be registered for Season 9 of Million Dollar Fish. This also automatically enters you into the Lucky Prize Pool, which includes thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes up for grabs. Register now for free at www.milliondollarfish.com.au.
