Hello and welcome to another year of Christian Education at Old First!
I want to first put out an invitation to anyone who has not registered their child for Sunday School but I also wanted to extend that invitation to ANYONE you think might be interested in joining our classes!
Invite that new family that just moved into the neighborhood? Sure!
How about if your relatives and their kids that are in town for just the weekend? Absolutely!
It has been an Old First tradition that we welcome any and all that are interested in participating in our Christian Education program! That being said, we are also putting out another call for anyone who is interested in joining this year's teaching staff. We have already received a very positive response but could always use more help! Please see Julius or Maranda for more information.
At present we have Julius, Maranda, Samantha, Megan, Renee, Carrie and Jonathan.
This year we are hoping to have classes during service (after A Time for Children until the end of service) and have approached the elders to see what they think. We are also going to try to form a (post-confirmation) Youth Group this year (led by Maranda and another teacher) in addition to our traditional pre-confirmation class. We will keep you informed as soon as we know more.
**I have placed extra registration forms in the brochure rack in the entrance of the church and will have more on hand during service for those who need it.
Classes begin September 10! Hope to see you all there!
If you have any questions/concerns, please don't hesitate to ask Julius or Maranda.

Raging conflict between India and Pakistan from the aftermath of the suicide bombing which killed 40 soldiers in Pulwama on 14th Feb, has took a new turn when India and Pakistan both announced they each have announced that they each have shot other's warplanes.
Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran khan has already called out for talk with India warning that these events will have catastrophic consequences if it is not handled in proper manner.
In the statement, Mr. Khan said, "Can we afford any miscalculations with the kind of weapons that we have an you have."
After the attack, Indian government had promised to take an action against the attacks under which Indian warplanes flew into Pakistani airspace and stuck down Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) camp which had knits behind the, earlier attack.
This was India's first airstrike on Pakistani soil since the 1971 war.

Home Health Care Equipment – Health Care Equipment For Erectile Dysfunction
Home Health Care Equipment – Health Care Equipment For Erectile Dysfunction
In this article, we will discuss which home health care equipment and monitors may be beneficial for sufferers of erectile dysfunction to have around the home in order for them to keep on top of their situation and to be able to see by actual measurable results the little changes for the good that is happening in their bodies.
Some of the home health care equipment mentioned you will no doubt, be familiar with, others, perhaps not so.
Home Health Care Equipment – Blood Pressure Monitor
It should be of no surprise to see the rather familiar looking blood pressure monitor on this list. High blood pressure is related to erectile dysfunction. It only makes common sense to monitor your blood pressure if your ED is related to high blood pressure.
By having a blood pressure monitor around the home, it will save you time and plenty of trips to your local GP' s office for what is an easy to do test that is more often than not carried out by a nurse.
==>Click Here For More Info<==
The A&D Medical Deluxe Connected Blood Pressure Monitor UA-651BLE (pictured above) is a handy device to have around the home. I like it due to its funky ability to connect to an app (works on iPhone and android devices) and to properly keep a chart of your blood pressure over time via a graph, and it will show you trends also.
With the app, you can store your health data, an unlimited amount of storage is given.
For me, it's a pretty cool tool as you can easily when at your doctor's office show him your blood pressure in detail over a period of time at the touch of a button and all from your smart phone.
This highly rated blood pressure monitor can be found on Amazon here.
Home Health Care Equipment – Cholesterol Monitor
This one, a Cholesterol monitor you may not have seen before but yet again it should not be such a surprise that it makes itself on to a list of home health care equipment for sufferers of erectile dysfunction.
It is common knowledge that high cholesterol levels are not good for the heart, and if it is not good for the heart it is not good for your downstairs department!
High cholesterol levels are a hard cock killer! And if you are not suffering now you eventually will if you don't keep your cholesterol levels in check.
Keeping an eye on your cholesterol is going to give additional benefits to your overall health.
==>Click Here For More Info<==
This home cholesterol monitor comes with 3 test strips each, for testing HDL and triglyceride. LDL results can be obtained by using the values given by the HDL and the triglyceride tests.
By having a home cholesterol test kit, you can save a fortune on lab tests and keep a closer eye on your cholesterol levels by performing more frequent tests.
Click here for more information regarding recommended home cholesterol test kits.
Testosterone level Test Kit
This one should be a no-brainer for those that are suffering erectile dysfunction due to low testosterone levels and who are participating in a diet and activities program aimed at elevating their testosterone levels.
A simple saliva test, fill the test tube to the line, which about half way and then mail it to the lab. All lab test fees are included in this kit.
By taking regular testosterone level tests, you can see the improvements that are being made and perhaps adjust your diet accordingly to further increase testosterone levels.

Blood Sugar Monitor
Diabetics and friends or family of diabetics will be familiar with this piece of equipment and its use.
Diabetes can be a cause of erectile dysfunction in men. This piece of equipment makes the list due to the importance of monitoring blood sugar levels and possibly avoiding future diabetes.
I have one, and I am not a diabetic. I use it to keep an eye on my blood sugar levels as a preventative measure to becoming diabetic and because high sugar levels in the blood lower and inhibit testosterone production! so keeping a watchful eye on my blood sugar levels is a win-win situation for me.
==>Click Here For More Info<==
The above blood sugar monitor is the best-rated one that I could find and has been reviewed more than 300 times. It is one of the best-selling blood sugar monitors on Amazon.
You can find more about this monitor by clicking here.

1) "The Masked Singer" finale, 8-10 p.m., Fox. Only three singers remain, neatly hidden under the masks of Sun, Mushroom (shown here) and Crocodile. They've already outlasted some talented pros – old (Paul Anka), young (Tori Kelly, Taylor Dane), in-between (Clint Black) and multi-faceted (Dr. Elvis Francois, the Mayo Clinic's "singing surgeon"). Then again, snowboarder Chloe Kim and basketball's Lonzo Ball also came close. Tonight, they'll be unmasked and the judges will choose the champion.
2) "The Amazing Race" finale, 8 p.m., CBS. This began with 11 duos on the island of Tobago; it ends with thtree of them reaching New Orleans. They visited 17 cities in 11 countries, traveled more than 33,000 … and were very good at secrets. This race was actually concluded two years and 13 days ago; it was delayed until this summer … then delayed again, to help patch up the fall line-up. The final duos are brothers (both pro volleyball players), married parents and boyfriends.
3) "Saturday Night Live" Christmas special, 9-11 p.m., NBC. "SNL" has had a lot of time to assemble sketches for this special; it's been around since 1975. Then again, it's a newcomer compared to the Rockettes, who have been doing an onstage "Christmas Spectacular" since 1933. Tonight, they rerun their special – lots of family-friendly dancing – at 8, leading into "SNL."
4) "The Blues Brothers" (1980), 6:45 p.m., Showtime. Speaking of "SNL," its past stars fill up the night. This has John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in a John Landis film, with big sight gabs and potent music from Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway and more. That's followed by the "Belushi" documentary (2020) at 9. AMC has Chevy Chase's "National Lampoon Christmas Vacation" (1989) at 8 and 10:25, surrounded by Bill Murray's "Scrooged" (1988) at 6 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.
5) "SWAT," 9 p.m., CBS. The team helps Chris with her personal effort to save a teen girl from a predatory religious leader. Also, Tan's wedding planning hits a snag and there's troubling news about Darryl's father (Michael Beach), who is being released from prison.

September 2, 1897
The season of 1897-98 was opened at Goodison Park, with what under ordinary circumstances, would have proved one of the most attractive friendly games possible, namely a contest between the two Liverpool League teams. A pitiless downpour of rain for nearly two hours prior to the match entirely spoiled all possibility of a big gate, and under the circumstances an attendance of about 3,000 at the start which afterwards increased to about 5,000, must be considered highly satisfactory.
Both sides were strongly represented though Liverpool without Harry Bradshaw and John McCartney must be considered below their usual strength.
Liverpool started against a stiff breeze, and were early in a strong attacking position, which was terminated by Joe McQue shooting over the bar. A foul against Billy Stewart led to Frank Becton receiving the leather and the maids inside left shooting with unerring precisions, a direct breach of the rules of the game led to a penalty kick being awarded to the Anfield contingent. Becton, who drove the ball, direct to Rab Macfarlane the custodian saving on his knees amidst tremendous cheers. The clearance was pounced upon by Jack Taylor, who raced to the other end, and passing across the goalmouth, Jack Bell missed scoring, whilst a moment later John Drivers sent over the bar, when in a good position.
The Liverpool right wing was at this period showing excellent form, and after taking the ball to the home quarters Becton centred in grand style, but Macfarlane cleared with commendable promptitude, and from his reply Thomas Cleghorn skimmed the horizontal with a long shot. The Liverpudlians cleverly robbed Taylor when about to shoot, and placing to his right wing, Robert Marshall centred across the goalmouth, but Joe Lumsden passed a capital opportunity by sending outside.
Then Everton had a turn, and Taylor brought out Storer with a clinking shot, whilst after repeated attempts by the Everton forwards near the Liverpool custodian, Archie Goldie in trying to clear nearly caused the downfall of his goal.
Again the visitors right sailed grandly down the field, but were weak near goal, and the Everton defence easily stalled off the feeble shots which, were sent in. the home right then run down, and Johnny Holt sent in a quick shot which tested Harry Storer's ability to the full, whilst in clearing another from Edgar Chadwick the Liverpool custodian had to concede a corner, McQue cleared, and after dispossessing the home front caused a temporary cessation of the attack, which was however, returned by Taylor, who gave Laurie Bell an easy chance right in front of goal, but a backward pass gave the defenders an opportunity to clear.
Following this the Liverpool right wing had other fine opening, but the final effort were feeble, and caused the defenders little trouble.
The weather had now cleared nicely and was considerately more favorable for players and spectators alike. A strong run by J. Bell led to Storer saving a short sharp shot, Taylor and Drivers again renewing the attack save L. Bell an opening, and the centre sent in a grand shot, which Storer brilliantly cleared. The Everton front rank was again prominent, but failed to pierce the fine defence of Liverpool, and at half time, there was no score.
Harry Storer, Liverpool (Lloyd's Weekly News: December 1, 1895):
On resuming play Everton were early prominent, and as curling shot from Chadwick was headed into the goalmouth by Drivers, but Storer scooped the ball away in splendid style, though awarding a corner, and from the succeeding kick the custodian again saved in splendid style.
Everton continued to press, and Taylor just missed scoring by heading the ball on the wrong side of the post. The game then showed down considerably, but Everton at this period had the best of matters, and J. Bell, after taking the ball almost up to the goalmouth, grazed the outside of the upright with a fast low shot. Peter Meehan repeatedly defeated the Liverpool left wing, and after robbing Daniel Cunliffe the home back took the ball well down the field, and with a long swift shot sent it through the bulk of the players into the net, Storer having no possible chance of gauging the progress of the ball. This success gave a welcome stimulus to the game, and after suffering a reverse the Liverpool forwards went down in capital style, and the ball was bobbing about in the neighbourhood of Macfarlane, until Becton received, and just skimmed the horizontal with a grand shot.
Still, Everton were the more aggressive, and Storer saved splendidly from Taylor at the expense of a corner, which was however, cleared, and Becton taking the ball down in grand style, enabled Lumsden to force an unsuccessful corner at the home end.
A fine rush by J. Bell and Chadwick gave the former a splendid chance of scoring, but Storer took the ball from the toes of the outside man, when almost under the bar, making a really clever save, and Liverpool rushed the ball to the other end. Here a weak shot was sent in and Meehan in attempting to kick away, sent the ball into his own goal, equalising matters after about 25 minutes play.
Everton strove hard to gain the winning point, but Storer was in splendid form, and saved a stringing shot from Chadwick, who sent in the ball from close quarters.
Lumsden raced down from the reply, but after beating Meehan shot in from a long range, when there was a grand chance of going forward, and placing his side ahead.
Eventually the whistle blew, the score at the finish being a draw – 1 goal each.

Media Re: New Ask.com Commercial…

Melissa McEwan wrote about that Ask.com commercial over at Shakesville a few days ago. Here's her take on what happened behind the scenes:
All right, you advertising geniuses. What we need is a way to convey that you can find porn just as easy on Ask.com as you can on Googleand real kinky shit, too! Like, chicks with dicksbut, ya know, something we can actually put on the air.
Boss, Ive got it! Chicks with swords!
Chicks with swords, Sanders? That sounds totally lame.
No, check it outits a euphemism for chicks with dicks, right? But Mom and Pop America will never clack onto that! Plus, we can dress up hot chicks like Lord of the Rings extras, I Dream of Jeannie, maybe throw in a sorta Xena-type for the lezbeens, and cast a sorta geeky guy so theres plausible deniability; were not pushing pornhes just into swords and sandals fantasy shit. And if some feminazi totally busts us, well just say shes crazy! That always works.
Good job, Sanders! You deserve a promotion! Now wheres that girl who always complains about misogyny in our campaigns? I need a cup of coffee

Yes!! I just gave a straight blatant shoot at it. It sucks when you pitch people with your network marketing opportunity.
I will tell you shortly. Before then, have you realised that friends and loved ones avoid it when you start talking about your opportunity to them and pestering them that they need to join you? Ask Mark Yarnell. His father did everything to stop him when he decided to give network marketing a shot of his life.
Let me tell you a story. It is a true story. I know a man who started a network marketing business. He failed in a couple and was neck deep about to drawn in his last opportunity. This man had read the book by Robert Kiyosaki titled "Business of the 21st Century". He knew that this the industry that can turn his financial fortunes and make him a monthly seven figure earner and still give him the luxury of the time to spend enjoy with his family and loved ones. My friend told me that, it would take him between 20 to 30years if he had to make six figures a month in his current organisation.
When my friend joined his present opportunity, he was determined to succeed. He did all his upline to do. He followed his companies training rigorously. In less than a month, he had spoken to over two hundred people and signed up four people. His moral was boosted. Was he soon to become the next Randy Gage? His hopes were high and his energies multiplied. He shared his story. It was working. Or was it?
Soon, he realised that he had spoken to everybody he knew on earth about his network marketing opportunity (Just kidding), but that is how it felt. Many people did not care about his golden life-saving seven figure making opportunity. Sadly enough, he could not meet as many people to present his opportunity to. He took to advertising and realised that, people did not respond. Was he missing something?
People avoided him. This was to be expected because trainings from his company showed him how to deal with rejection. But why will people not reject you when you just go straight to them and pitch your business? Are you their personal financial advisor or entrepreneur consultant? I will show you a model called attraction marketing later.
As my friend had exhausted his warm market, he decided to venture into the cold market. Rejection was much more severe. He felt like giving up and calling it quits. I know my friend. He is not one who quits so easily. He would find a way to become the top producer in his company.
He advertised his company.
His results sucks!!!
The response was poor. He had however made a good move. But why were the results poor? Others advertised the same company too. People preferred to join the team of the presenters and those who ran the show. They wanted to be with the celebrities in my friend's network marketing company.
My friend had to think outside the box. How do I become the one who people get attracted to?
Become a star. PERIOD!!. To win their hearts, my friend decided to become a star first. He decided to give people great value for free. This was value that he had paid several hundreds of dollars for. When people received the gifts he gave them, they knew/thought that he had more to give. Now, prospects were gravitating towards my friend like a magnet. People would ask him about his opportunity even if he did not speak about it. Everyone wanted to be in his team.
Why you should not pitch your network marketing opportunity
- It sucks. It simply is unprofessional. No one will really want to join you. The catch is that when you chase people around, they don't want to come to you. Ask the guys. They somehow ran from ladies who are chasing/pestering them and they go for the ladies who are ignoring them. This is simply human nature. Pitching is like gravels in the mouth. Become a consultant or trusted advisor and see people coming to you.
- The next time you tell someone your company is the best and all the stuff you say to pitch your business, remember this phrase, who cares? They would have joined you if they cared. People feel that you don't even care about them when you pitch them your opportunity and they reciprocate.
- When you give people value regardless of whether they join you or not, they see that you are selfless. As a result, they want to buy from you when you have not offered to sell anything. They simply want to pay you back for your generousity.
- When you pitch your opportunity, people see you as a sales person, and we all don't like sales people, EVEN YOU. Give value and get die-hard fans who take your every advise
As a special gift, I am sharing with you a training that has changed the face of my business. It is called social media insanity. With this training, you will learn how to leverage facebook to build your own network marketing business.
Do you have questions or concerns? Do not hesitate to link up with me on facebook. I will meet you there.
Yours in MLM Success

Just after Noon a CHP Officer noticed a Toyota 4Runner stopped in an unsafe place in the center divider of I-5 near the Weed Rest Area. The SUV had a paper sign with the word "help" written on it, so the officer stopped to check it out. The driver was a 38-year-old woman from Bend, Oregon, along with her 8-year-old son and a dog. The officer thought the woman was acting strangely before she suddenly rushed back to her car seat, brandished a knife and drove away. The officer didn't want to agitate the woman by starting a pursuit, but he followed her until she made a u-turn across the median, and another u-turn, and a number of additional u-turns until more officers arrived and they were able to get the car safely stopped. The woman and her son were both taken to the Siskiyou behavioral health office. The dog was taken to the county shelter for safe keeping. The CHP says its officers have extensive training in dealing with mental illness, and they say the incident was handled just right.

Friday Night in the Big Town
And so how would such a unique individual as me spend such a night? Creatively? Obsessively? Perhaps a bit of both. Much time has been spent this evening doing this
Pattern sorting. There are sooooo many downloaded patterns around here. I hesitate to even think about going through them all. But there were a big stack here on my desk. Three stacks were made:
1. I think I really like this and maybe someday I'll try to make it.
2. I've already made this..loved it and want to make again.
3. I really really really love this and want to make it. Now what do I have to gather in order to do it.
I'm thinking that there are going to have to be a number of 16 inch circs purchased fairly soon. Too bad I can't seem to gather a bunch of patterns that use the same size. Maybe those new bamboo Knitpick ones. I have discovered that my hands truly like bamboo better and they don't get cranky so quickly. I guess it's that they're warm.
And some research needs to be done too. Some of the patterns call for yarn I've never heard of so I'll have to try and figure out what might work since often the pictured yarns are too expensive for my pocket.
Lists have been made, now it's time to put it all up so I can go to bed and dream about knitting hats and bears and mittens. Or maybe I'll just dream of Jon Bon Jovi again.

O.k., so what was it? Hats or Jon? Inquiring minds want to know!
Oh that is what I'm doing with my recipes.
Yarndex.com is a good source for comparison yarns. This is a good site for the different yarn weights http://www.fiber2yarn.com/info/wpigauge.htm

Devorah, if I dreamed, I didn't remember it. I surely did sleep well though. And unfortunately for Saturday activity, I woke up wanting to do more of it. Guess I was really tired. So it was buy groceries, nap, put a load of laundry in the washer, nap etc.
Cat, Yarndex is one of my favorite sites. I recently read an interview with some knitting designer (and I have NO idea who it was and neglected to bookmark it)who said that usually when their design is chosen for publication the magazine gives them the yarn to use and it's usually something that's quite wonderful and expensive. Lucky dogs!

New Zealand Teachers continue their Fight for Education
21st October 2010
Teachers Demonstrating last Month
Teachers in New Zealand have rejected government attempts to end their dispute and are continuing to take strike action The dispute which is about low pay - a problem which is causing difficulties with recruitment and retention of teachers - is also about education underfunding in general - for example oversized classes. Like governments all over the world the New Zealand government is trying to make public services pay for a crisis which has been caused by the neo-liberal policies which they have been pursuing with vigour. Exactly the same kind of rhetoric is being used in many countries, for example: "Do the teachers really want us to borrow more than that and place a noose around the neck of young New Zealanders?"asks Prime Minister John Key. In fact of course teachers devote their lives to the coming generations while governments pursue the market policies which are threatening their future. Just as in many other countries of the world, teachers in New Zealand are in the leadership of the fight back. To read more about this dispute go to previous posts on this website or

POLL: Favourite Sandown 500 retro livery
The final retro livery for this weekend's Rabble.Club Sandown 500 has now been released and Speedcafe.com wants to know which is your favourite.
With arguably the best ensemble of historical looks recreated in the short history of the concept, read through the summary below and let us know your answer in this special edition Pirtek Poll.
Walkinshaw Andretti United: 2008 Holden Racing Team (#2, #25)
Walkinshaw Andretti United has reskinned its ZB Commodores in a nod to the team's win in the 2008 500-kilometre enduro, held that year at Phillip Island.
Garth Tander took the lead with just over 10 laps remaining and went on to win the race for he and Mark Skaife in the latter's final full-time V8 Supercars campaign.
Tander also qualified the #1 Holden Racing Team VE Commodore on pole for the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 four weeks later, but stalled when the lights went out due to a clutch problem.
Tickford Racing: 2004 Supercheap Auto Racing (#55)
For the second time in three years, Tickford Racing has reproduced a Steven Ellery Racing livery for Chaz Mostert's Supercheap Auto Falcon.
The 2018 version harks back to 2004, the first year of the automotive retailer's now customary red, yellow, and black schemes.
Nissan Motorsport: 2002 Castrol Perkins Racing (#15)
Nissan Motorsport's retro livery for the #15 Castrol Altima not only dates back to one of the oil giant's old cars, it is also fitting given that the team was in part born out of the Perkins Engineering squad which raced with that look.
The specific version that Rick Kelly and Garry Jacobson will drive this weekend comes from 2002, when Russell Ingall and Steve Richards finished both enduros in second position in the #8 VX Commodore, while Larry Perkins and Paul Dumbrell were fifth at Bathurst in the #11 VX.
Nissan Motorsport: 1960s theme (#78)
Simona de Silvestro's Team Harvey Norman Nissan Altima is a general throwback to touring cars of the 1960s.
It features the Swiss racer's trademark #78 in the circle style of the day, with a predominant white base.
Brad Jones Racing: 1970s Bob Jane sports sedan (#14)
A year on from its trio of Norm Beechey liveries, Brad Jones Racing has similarly doffed its hat to Bob Jane with a recreation of the look of his 1970s Holden GTS350 HQ Monaro sports sedan on the #14 Tim Slade/Ash Walsh entry.
The livery is personally significant for team co-owner Kim Jones in particularly, who worked for Jane on the Monaro, while both he and Brad Jones are godsons of Jane.
Brad Jones Racing: 1993 John Blanchard livery (#21)
Tim Blanchard's retro livery keeps it in the family by replicating the look of father John's two-litre BMW M3 from the 1993 season.
Blanchard the senior raced at Logamo Racing Team, formed by Tony Longhurst, the late Frank Gardner and Terry Morris. The latter's name was also emblazoned in a cryptic form on Tim Blanchard's Super2 car when he was sponsored by Sirromet in 2010.
Erebus Motorsport: Chickadee VK Commodore (#9)
Erebus Motorsport has played up to its underdog status by paying tribute to another unfancied Bathurst winner by changing both of its Holdens to Graeme Bailey Chickadee liveries.
Defending Great Race winners David Reynolds and Luke Youlden will this weekend drive a #9 Commodore which replicates the look of the VK which Allan Grice and the Central Coast chicken farmer triumphed in at Bathurst in 1986. Major sponsor Penrite's logo has been replaced by its name in the script of Chickadee, which Bailey owned, and Hare & Forbes logos feature in a similar position on the rear quarter-panel.
Grice did the lion's share of the driving that day in a relatively underfunded car, with the win representing a major upset against factory-backed operations. Like Reynolds and Youlden last year, the #2 Commodore won the race from second on the starting grid.
Erebus Motorsport: Chickadee Celica (#99)
In keeping with the theme, Erebus' other car has been transformed to mimic the Toyota Celica in which Bailey won his class in the 1982 Sandown 500.
DJR Team Penske: 1988 Sierras (#12, #17)
Dick Johnson Racing's rich history, many years of which were spent with Shell, gives the Queensland outfit any number of options to use come retro round.
On this occasion, Shell V-Power Racing has turned back the clock three decades to the year when the red Sierras of Johnson and John Bowe finished first and second respectively in the Australian Touring Car Championship, winning eight of the nine championship rounds between them.
Preston Hire Racing: First Holden Bathurst winner (#18)
Preston Hire Racing has gone back even further to mark the half-century anniversary of Holden's first win in the Bathurst 1000 (then 500 miles) which passes later this year.
The team has exchanged its bright yellow for a more muted tone to match that of the Holden Monaro driven by Bruce McPhee and Barry Mulholland at Mount Panorama, when the former drove all but one lap to satisfy race regulations.
Garry Rogers Motorsport: 1978 A9X Torana (#33)
Garry Rogers Motorsport has again opted for completely different retro liveries for its usually similar-looking Holdens, inspired by the career of team owner Garry Rogers himself.
Garth Tander and co-driver Chris Pither will pilot an eye catching red, orange and white look on its #33 ZB Commodore that was carried by the A9X Torana which Rogers drove alongside five-time Australian Touring Car Champion Ian 'Pete' Geoghegan in the 1978 Bathurst 1000.
While the race didn't yield much in the way of a result as the car was retired after 29 laps, Rogers tells a colourful recount of how he came to be driving it.
Garry Rogers Motorsport: Soundwaves Discos Commodore (#34)
GRM's second Commodore takes on the look of the Soundwaves Discos VH Commodore which Rogers shared with British businessman Clive Benson-Brown in 1983, the first 'new' race car that he drove.
23Red Racing: Vintage beige (#230)
The jagged red lines on 23Red Racing's Milwaukee Falcon have been replaced by a vintage cream look for Sandown.
The presence of the Davison brothers at the team is somewhat retro in itself given that uncle Jon was a long-time promoter of the Sandown 500.
Grove Racing: 2007 Tasman Motorsport (Super2 #51)
For the first time, a Super2 Series team has commissioned a retro livery especially for Sandown with Grove Racing featuring a full 2007-spec Tasman Motorsport livery.
Brenton Grove's VF Commodore fully replicates the look of the Tasman cars at Oran Park that season, Grove's first weekend as a motorsport sponsor, complete with logos of the team's backers of the day.

Boschi was quizzed by prosecutors in Potenza after Economic Development Minister Federica Guidi quit on Thursday over allegations she tweaked the country's 2015 budget to suit her businessman boyfriend, Gianluca Gemelli.
Guidi stepped down hours after it emerged that Gemelli is under investigation for abusing his connection to the government in a suspected bid to help his engineering company win contracts with French oil giant Total.
While neither Guidi or Boschi are under investigation, in a wiretap recording leaked to the press, Guidi is heard telling Gemelli that an amendment to the budget law streamlining the approval process for new oilfields in southern Italy would be approved.
The amendment was then signed by Boschi.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who on Monday called for the judiciary to investigate and reach a verdict on the oil project "as soon as possible", said the amendment was his and that he was willing to be questioned.
Italian opposition parties are seeking to bring down the government over the scandal, with the centre-right Forza Italia party, led by former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, joining forces with the anti-immigrant Northern League to draw up the motion of no-confidence for both the upper and lower houses of parliament to consider.
The anti-establishment Five Star movement (M5S) also filed its own motion on Tuesday.
"We all have to show we want to send Renzi packing. We will vote for no-confidence," said Five Star member Luigi di Mario, deputy head of the lower house of parliament.
But a defiant Renzi has played down any threat to his government.
"And so they present the umpteenth no-confidence motion. We will go to parliament, I hope as soon as possible," he said on his website, having refused calls on Friday to step down.
The 41-year old prime minister also said his centre-left Democratic Party (PD) was going to sue Beppe Grillo, former comedian and founder of the Five Star party, for saying everyone in the party had "their hands dirty with oil and money".
"We can be unpleasant or arrogant. But we are honest people," Renzi said.
Opposition leaders have seized on Guidi's resignation as fresh evidence that Renzi's administration is every bit as prone to sleaze as its predecessors.
Guidi's resignation came almost exactly a year after then transport minister Maurizio Lupi resigned after it emerged a businessman embroiled in a major public works corruption scandal had given Lupi's son a €10,000 Rolex watch.
While Renzi continues to enjoy good approval ratings and has won plaudits for pushing through reforms in the two years since he seized power in an internal party coup, he faces a potentially tricky test at local elections expected in June.
He has also staked his reputation and political career on a contentious referendum over constitutional reform, scheduled for the autumn, which promises to be bitterly contested.

According to Sumerian myth, the Anunnaki are a breed of immortal gods that inhabited Earth during ancient times. The myth further states that humanity was genetically engineered by these beings to mine gold before the Anunnaki completely left the planet to observe it from far away distances.
The mere subject regarding these ancient Mesopotamian gods has drawn the attention of millions of people throughout the world. However, for the most part, questions surrounding these ancient myths have gone unanswered. As many have even found evidence of their existence, with each bit of knowledge learned, more questions have followed. Who were these ancient gods? Did they actually leave? If they did, where did they go?
Now, a group of film makers has endeavored to answer such mysterious questions, however, the film has gone unrecognized. Go Fund Me accounts have been created to aid the filmers in their journey, but unfortunately, all images, videos, and information have been removed from the internet. Why is that? What is preventing the release of this most important aspect of our history? Watch the following trailer, and visit the funding website if you would like to help bring the truth the light.

During half term work has been carried out in the school boiler room on low level asbestos found during our recent survey of the school. The work will not be able to be completed and properly certified until Monday 3rd November 2014. The asbestos work has been carried out by the local Authority under the guidance and supervision of the Health and Safety Executive [HSE]. The asbestos does not pose a threat to health but a problem has arisen due to its location in the boiler room. This means we will not be able to switch on the boilers in order to provide heating or hot water which is the issue.
We have been reliably informed that the work will be finalised and certified by the appropriate authorities on Monday so it is our intention to open school as normal to children on Tuesday 4th November.
We are very sorry for this unavoidable school closure and apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

Horror as woman dangles from tower block window 'by her HAIR' before falling 100ft to death
Alem Shimemi, 30, fell 100ft to the ground on an estate in Glasgow after she was allegedly held out of the window
A WOMAN was dangled from a tower block by her HAIR seconds before she plunged to her death.
Alem Shimemi, 30, fell 100ft to the ground on an estate in Glasgow after she was allegedly held out of the window.
A man was seen running away from the block shortly after the incident, on Monday at about 5.15.pm, but was held down by witnesses until the police arrived.
One local told the Daily Record: "I could hear hysterical screaming and I went to the window and I saw the woman being held by the hair.
"She didn't fall right away, because she was trying desperately to hold on to the window sill and she was scratching at the wall with her feet, trying to get a hold to keep herself from falling.
"It was terrible to watch."
The eyewitness who took the harrowing photo helped tackle the man who tried to run away from the scene.
He described an "African guy" tried to get away but he fell over a wall and was grabbed by a concierge and few women.
The unidentified man was held down until police arrived.
Women who were at the scene spoke the same language as the man who was "chanting", "praying" and "looked out of it", the eyewitness said.
It is not clear if the man is related or known to Alem.
Alem, an Eritrean national, was described as a "wonderful person" by friends at her local Eritrean Orthodox Church.
The church trying to make arrangements to send Alem's body back to her family in Eritrea.
Cops are now calling on witnesses to come forward – but confirmed no charges have been made.
Alem's death is being treated as suspicious, Police Scotland confirmed.
Detective Inspector Aileen Boyle said: "This is a very busy area and I am sure that there are people who may have witnessed this incident who have not yet come forward to police.
"The details they hold could be vital to this investigation and I would urge anyone with information to contact us as soon as possible."

Stolen vehicle fished out of Friant-Kern canal
A stolen crossover SUV reported out of Visalia a month ago was fished out of the Friant-Kern Canal Tuesday morning.
An employee with the Friant Water Authority spotted the vehicle near Avenue 306 and Road 204, northeast of Exeter. The employee reported the finding and Tulare County firefighters, a sheriff's deputy and two California Highway Patrol officers responded.
The vehicle was faintly visible from the canal's bank. The vehicle's antenna barely peeked out of the water and the rear showed higher than the front.
CHP Officer Ben Corner said the vehicle had been submerged for several days, maybe weeks. The vehicle didn't have any damage and there were no missing parts from it, Corner said.
"It was probably pushed into the water," Corner said.
The vehicle was found about half-a-mile from the Avenue 306 and Road 204 intersection.
A tow truck service was called in and, using a chain link, was pulled from water.
The tow service worker, using a hammer, smashed the vehicle's rear window, creating a place where the Toyota Venza could be pulled. The worker stood on the vehicle, getting waist deep into water, to tie up the chain around the vehicle.
Once out of the water, the vehicle showed what appeared to be a green film substance on the passenger's side.
As the vehicle emerged, water spilled out from the closed doors, rolling back into the canal.
Crash in Lemon Cove sends driver to Kaweah Delta
Having been under water for a while, the vehicle will likely be totaled, Corner said.
At the scene, there appear to be nothing criminal, Corner said. The incident was listed as a recovered stolen vehicle.
"We are doing a recovery," Corner said. "We are removing it from the system."
Typically, CHP receives reports of abandoned stolen vehicle left in orchards, likely set on fire after valuables, such as stereos, sound equipment and wheels had been removed.
"But, every now and then, we get calls like this," Corner said.

WIPP's West Inducted Into Mine Rescue Hall of FameJuly 30, 2018
Routine Transuranic Waste Handling Operations Resume at WIPPJune 6, 2018
June 14, 2018
WIPP Breaks Ground for New Ventilation System
Carlsbad, NM - U.S. Department of Energy officials joined with local Southeast New Mexico community leaders today to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new and improved underground ventilation system for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The Safety Significant Confinement Ventilation System (SSCVS) is key to increasing waste shipments to WIPP by allowing mining, waste emplacement, rock bolting and maintenance activities to occur simultaneously.
"In my first trip to WIPP as the Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management, I am pleased to have the opportunity to participate in breaking ground on this new ventilation system. The new system provides WIPP state-of-the-art air handling capabilities, which will be a significant improvement to WIPP in support of its critical role in our national mission," Anne White said.
"The new ventilation system will provide WIPP more than 500,000 cubic feet per minute of air to the WIPP underground, while running in a filtration mode that will be protective of the public and environment," said DOE Carlsbad Field Office Manager Todd Shrader. "It allows us more flexibility while performing waste emplacement and mining activities."
The SSCVS provides a modern air supply system designed to run continuously in HEPA filtration. The system will provide approximately 540,000 cubic feet per minute (cfm) of air to the WIPP underground, significantly more than the current ventilation system in place at the facility. The new system also allows easier filter replacement and preventative maintenance activities. At an estimated cost of $288 million, construction of the new ventilation system is expected to be completed by early 2021.
"This is a significant improvement for WIPP in support of its important national mission," said Bruce Covert, President and Project Manager of Nuclear Waste Partnership, the WIPP management and operations contractor. "I am appreciative of the unwavering support from our local, state and federal elected officials and stakeholders who ensure we have the proper funding to make infrastructure improvements, like the new ventilation system."

Spike TV has worked a deal with Lionsgate studios and bought the new "Rambo" film to air on the TV channel in the future. Spike bought the new "Rambo" for $4.5 million. Spike also picked up the first three "Rambo" films from CBS TV Distribution. My guess is that Spike TV wants to have a Rambo marathon, to air all 4 "Rambo's" in a row in one day.
Variety Reports:
Since I already own the first 3 Rambo's on DVD and I'll soon own the new Rambo when it comes out for BluRay May 27th, I won't need to watch this on cable TV.
But it's no surprise to me that Spike TV will want to air the new Rambo since that TV channel loves to hype that film to death before it was out in theater.

This segment of the Shoreham documentary lays some of the groundwork for the interviews that will be a part of the story. James and Ray spent a lot of time in libraries and press vaults finding material and identifying potential candidates that could provide views from various perspectives. Interview candidates mentioned are Michio Kaku, who testified against the plant, Gwyneth Cravens, who protested the plant and later learned far more about nuclear energy in a journey of discovery that resulted in a book titled "Power to Save the World", Karl Grossman, a journalist who has made a career out of continuing to bash nuclear energy, and some guy on the internet named Rod Adams.
Reader Interactions
Nothing like a little atomic bomb test footage with a Metal soundtrack to start the morning. Can't wait for the Grossman interview. I had emailed him about a year ago in response to a column he wrote (in HuffPo) attacking the use of Pu-238 as a power source in NASA deep space probes. To his credit he did respond (recommended his book of course). I found a copy on Amazon for $4 so I took him up on his offer. For a person who doesn't understand the technology, Grossman presents a good case, but if you have some knowledge and experience, there's a lot of strings to tug on and unravel his argument.

Ladies Silver Claddagh Ring LS-CLAD6
I wear it every day and love it!
A tradition in our family is to get a Claddagh ring when you are 11. My granddaughter turned 11 this year and we got her this ring. It was petite and perfect for her. She loves it!!
This Claddagh Ring is perfect in everyway possible! I have small hands & this one is the perfect size, I would consider this one more like a maids size, small enough for some one with petite hands yet big enough to still see the details & the quality of this ring is excellent too!! I so highly recommend if you are considering getting this one, it's worth it!
Very happy with the shipping times for being deployed! I have small hands so I was pleased that there was a ring that fit my needs. Definitely will be purchasing again with a different metal choice
My girlfriend really loved the ring I got her. Well made, good quality!
The ring is beautiful and got here quicker than I anticipated! Thank you! It's a beautiful birthday gift for my daughter.

5 ways to enjoy the Thanksgiving feast and not overeat
- Avoid the snacks at Thanksgiving and you can cut total calorie intake by 9 percent
- Using a smaller dinner plate can reduce food consumption by 22 percent
The year's biggest day for caloric consumption arrives Thursday and overeating will have a big seat at the feast table.
Thanksgiving brings families and friends together around a spread of food like no other holiday. The challenge on this food-heavy day is knowing how to pace yourself to eat well, enjoy the company and not end up feeling like an overstuffed turkey.
That's where Brian Wansink, a best-selling author on overeating and Cornell University researcher on eating behavior can help.
Wansink wrote Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions and Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think. The books details plenty of research that shows when we are around lots of food, we eat a lot of it. We keep eating even when we are full.
The danger with Thanksgiving is there is a lot of comfort food available, "but there are strategies that allow you to eat what you want but not overeat," Wansink said.
While the average person consumes roughly 1,800-2,000 calories per day, Thanksgiving has become a festival of food and more food. On that day, the research shows a person is likely to consumes roughly 4,000 calories, Wansink said.
"And that study wasn't a random sample, I would estimate that it could be twice that," Wansink said.
So when many of us will eat enough on Thursday to be able to skip another meal for a day or more, Wansink offers some eating strategies that don't require tracking calories on day when food, family and friends may outweigh the best plans for a diet.
Pass on the snacks
One quick way to cut down on your Thanksgiving Day calorie intake is to cut down on the pre-meal snacking.
"Thanksgiving is about good, home-cooked food. Let it be about that and not about eating canned peanuts or potato chips," Wansink said.
By cutting out the snacks, Wansink said concerned eaters could cut their total calorie intake for the day by 9 percent. For some people, that can represent almost 800 calories.
"No one will feel bad if you don't eat the canned peanuts on the table before the meal, but they will feel bad if you don't eat the food they personally made for you," Wansink said.
One dessert
Another strategy to responsibly enjoy Thanksgiving without getting stuffed involves choosing one dessert and sticking with it.
"During Thanksgiving there are always tons of desserts, so that can be difficult," Wansink acknowledged.
To help to that effect, Wansink recommended limiting your dessert choices to the ones that are homemade.
"You might offend your aunt if you choose the store bought pumpkin pie over hers," Wansink laughed.
Portion control
Perceived social pressure is another thing that Wansink said can lead to Thanksgiving overeating.
"Some people think the host is somehow pushing them to eat a lot of something," Wansink said.
To combat this, he said to not necessarily be afraid to go back for seconds or thirds, but to limit your portions while doing so.
"The important thing is that the host doesn't remember how much you ate but whether you asked for seconds. You don't have to take a tablespoon, maybe just half what you would normally take," Wansink said.
Small changes, big benefits
Wansink said most of his tips are derived from studies performed at the Food and Brand Lab, many of which are found in his books.
"We find if you ask the typical person about how many decisions they make about food every day they would say between 25-30. But we find it's closer to 200-300. One bowl, two bowls, a little milk, a lot of milk, add sugar or don't. And because we aren't even aware of decisions we make it makes it extremely easy to overeat," Wansink said.
To combat this, Wansink said one could make immediate changes to their environment that doesn't involve will power. For instance using a smaller dinner plate can reduce food consumption by 22 percent. Not having serving bowls on the table can also reduce food consumption by 20 percent. For people who have candy dishes nearby, moving them to somewhere out of direct reach can cut calorie intake in half.
"There are hundreds of small changes people can make at home and work to eat less," Wansink said.
Choose thin company
Who you choose to eat with can have an impact on how you eat.
Research by Wansink and Katie Johnson of Mayo Medical School showed that people eat larger portions of unhealthy foods and smaller portions of healthy foods when eating with an overweight person because they are less in tune with their own health goals.
Sitting with the svelte at the Thanksgiving table may be difficult or impossible. Wansink recommends an alternative. Commit to selecting modest portions of healthy foods and with that goal in mind, those around you will have less of a negative influence over what you eat.
Still, despite best intentions or strategies, it is still possible to overeat on Thanksgiving, and that's OK Wansink said.
"Even though not all families get-togethers are Norman Rockwell like, even if your brother starts acting strange or your uncle gets cranky it's still a really happy time. Thanksgiving is one of the greatest holidays in the U.S., it's less about counting calories than having fun and making people feel good and not completely overdoing it."
Yet despite studying the nutritional impact of Thanksgiving nothing has changed the fact that it is Wansink's favorite holiday.
"I love Thanksgiving. It is physically and psychologically impossible to be thankful for something and be bored or feel bad at the same time. The feeling of thankfulness does not coincide with any feeling of negativity, or feeling down," Wansink said.

Hello friends! I have this extremely cute and punny design to share with you all today. In grade two, I remember receiving a tiny notebook that said "BEE HAPPY" on it and the saying has stuck with me ever since. I no longer remember what the notebook looked like, but the phrase popped back into my mind the other day and I was inspired by it.
This design has been bringing me smiles whenever I see it throughout the day. Read on to see step by step instructions (with pictures) on how to create these adorable nails!
