Dustin Diamond, who played Samuel "Screech" Powers on Saved by the Bell needs your help!!
In just 40 days, he's set to lose his house. When Saved by the Bell finished, Dustin moved from California to make Wisconsin his new home. With a poor credit rating, he knew that a loan was virtually impossible, but managed to purchase a house on a land contract .
Over the last few years, property values have risen and they want the land back. Not ready to back down, Dustin enlisted the help of Arthur Giraldo who works for New York Capital Exchange . Arthur is said to be an expert on land contracts, and came by way of recommendation by and old friend who said "If he can't do it, it can't be done."
Arthur reassured Dustin that all would be good with his loan. Dustin completed lots of paperwork but Arthur seemed to be ignoring the situation. Repeated calls to his mobile were met with reassurances, but nothing seemed to be done. Arthur said "Don't worry. Everything's moving ahead and all is well."
But all was not well. Despite the fact that Dunstin had completed all the paperwork that was required, he was served with a notice of Foreclosure . Arthur Giraldo, as it turns out, did nothing. He did not contact the land contract holder, he did not pass on any papers that were signed. He just didn't care what the outcome was.
Now, it's time for Dustin to take matters into his own hands.
You can help Dustin save his house for just a few dollars, Buy a TShirt!! For $15 you get a fab shirt and for $20, he'll even sign it. These are bound to become a collectors item! I've got one on order, you should too!

So, why am I talking about this here? Two reasons! Firstly, I was the floor manager for the broadcast. and Secondly, Salam Café won Program of the Year! I think that's kind of neat :)
The program went to air live at 8:30pm in Melbourne, and was also show live via satellite in Brisbane and Adelaide; running a little over-time, the program finished at 10:40pm

 | On a cold Winter night in Melbourne, there's nothing better to do than plonk yourself down in front of the heater and break out the digital camera... Utilising a couple of CCFL tubes from a busted scanner, a large sheet of white paper and my Sony DSCP-10 digital camera set to macro, I got a bunch of photos. Mostly Nixie stuff, but I did get a good snap of... |

Last night I started my 3rd batch of home brew... I had a bit of a go at coming up with my own recipe and hopefully I will end up with a nice rich stout..... That is, if my fermenter doesn't blow itself up!
