Move over pinochle, Web surfing stimulates aging brains
UCLA study finds Net searching triggers key centers in the brain that control decision making and complex reasoning in computer-savvy middle-aged and older adults.

Glitter clings to everybody as people spin and twirl:
Cachaça
A native distilled spirit, Cachaça is a must-try on your holiday in Rio; we’re sure you’ll love Brazil’s national alcohol. Unprocessed, fresh-pressed sugarcane juice is used to make the Cachaça and it is used as the main ingredient in a Caipirinha. Brazil produces around 1,5 billion litres of cachaça each year, with over 5,000 brands but the best place to get cachaça is in Paraty, a small coastal town in Rio de Janeiro that has plenty of great distilleries. Cachaça comes in different types such as Traditional, Aged, Premium and Extra Premium. Don’t forget to drink responsibly as this boozy liquor contains between 38 and 54% alcohol.
A Caipirinha Kit
For the big fans of the drink, you can get a caipirinha kit to reproduce the drink back home. A typical Caipirinha kit includes Cachaça, a muddler, Caipirinha glasses and a shaker. It’s a cool souvenir to take home from the place where the Caipirinha was invented.
Brazilian Wine
Not usually associated with wine, Brazil actually produces a few great wines from its wineries in the south, in Minas Gerais and in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Although especially known for its sparkling white, their rosé and reds are also great and go well with local cheeses such as the Canastra cheese from Rio. A trip to the south should definitely include a visit to a vineyard to pick up the local wines. If you’re staying city-bound, then Rio has several specialist stores and bars to buy Brazilian wine.
Brazilian Cigars
Cigar lovers will be over the moon to know that Brazil is a mecca for dry-cured cigars thanks to the country’s rich tobacco-ready soil. Cigars are manufactured through a slow baking process and Brazilian cigars have a unique spicy taste. They are smaller than their Cuban counterparts and thus can be carried around better. They are also a lot cheaper so make sure you don’t leave Rio without a few cigarillos like Dannemann Speciale Brasile. There are quite a few tobacco shops in Rio and the one with the longest opening hours is Tabacaria Alto Estilo, offering a wide range of products.How it’s supposed to be done: Wrexham’s first ever mascot.
Tonight’s match might be our first game against Darford on their own patch, but it isn’t the first time we’ve played in Dartford, funnily enough.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s we went there three times to face Maidstone United, who had been promoted to the Fourth Division but weren’t in the best of financial health and had to rent Dartford’s old Watling Street ground. It was hardly a mutually beneficial arrangement, it would seem, as eventually both clubs would go out of business as United’s tenancy ended.
We did alright at Maidstone, but my clearest memory of them has nothing to do with a Wrexham game: what must have been one of the most bizarre sights you could imagine played out before The Stones kicked off their first ever Football League match in Dartford.
One of my mates in University was a big Maidstone fan. He was a mature student, in his late twenties, with a huge black beard and a bit of a tummy on him. He was about six foot two as well: hold onto this image as it’s heading somewhere!
After Maidstone were promoted from the Conference they held a raffle to decide who would be the mascot for their historic first match at that level. Clearly they didn’t think to put an age limit on the competition. I’d imagine you’re a long way ahead of me now: that’s right, my mate won!
The image of this Captain Haddock lookalike walking out alongside the Maidstone captain, who was probably shorter than he was, amuses me greatly. He told me there’s a picture of it, but trawling the internet hasn’t borne any fruit. I’d love to see it as, to top the image off a treat, apparently he’s holding the captain’s hand in it! The bemused look on the poor bloke’s face must have been a picture: he’ll never forget leading his side out for their first Football League match!
So keep an eye out for who’s leading the teams out tonight: if the Dartford mascot towers over Dean Keates, there’s something going on! You never know, maybe that’s the way they do things in Kent.
Yeah, they really need to come to the US soon and play a Chicago show, there's a ton of excellent sounding venues around here!!

But rest assured, I will hopefully be the one to ring any bells of information that might come our westward-way!
Man, nobody was here for months and the next thing I know...
I'm telling you guys! Rock Dust Light Star 2012 USA Tour! Coming soon!
Starting in San Francisco! Then LA - Detroit, Chicago...
Or at least I hope so. Jay won't let us down! We love him!
It has got to be 2012!
No new tourdates so far for any part of the world. Probably have to wait untill Jays back is fixed. They cannot leave out the US!
I'm sure somebody representing the band has been reading our forum.
And still doesn't seem to care to explain.
But I think an explanation might come out wrong. And maybe turnoff the American followers.
I truly don't think Rock Dust Light Star will be promoted in U.S., resulting in no tour.

Huh? What's wrong with Jay's back?
Oh, that. That's not his back. I'm pretty sure he had the hernia operation already. They said that he was going to have it "later this summer". Since summer's over, I'm guessing that he already had the operation. I asked on Facebook - but they just deleted my post and didn't reply.
But I have noticed that he doesn't seem as energetic as he did earlier in the year. He had
