Time line
1) Neighbors and family members reportes to police that a woman was being beaten in front of the house.
2) The first officer arrived on the scene and when he saw how violent the suspect was he called for backup.
3) At this point, police say the suspect shot at the two officers killing the first officer and wounding the backup officer.
4) The backup offcier then shot and killed the suspect.
Metro officers have gathered at UMC while the injured officer undegoes treatment. He was reportedly shot three times in the right knee. No information has been released yet on the officer that was killed.
According to police, the deceased officer was responding to a domestic disturbance. Police say that officer realized he was dealing with a violent suspect and would need assistance and called for help. An off duty officer on his way to work responded. When that officer arrived, he saw that the first officer had been shot. He returned fire hitting the suspect, but not before he was shot three times in the leg.
The shooting happened around 1:30 p.m. at 8336 Feather Duster Court in the southwest part of the valley.
The last two Southern Nevada officers shot and killed in the line of duty were North Las Vegas police officer Raul Paul Elizondo in 1995 and Metro Officer Marc Kahre in 1988.
Sadly the North Las Vegas officer named was a friend of my dads also.

Damn - I hate when this happens.
RIP and condolences to his family.
May justice be swift.
Yeah I heard about it today at the Academy. Our whole academy is going to the funeral whenever it may be.

I think that is an excellent idea and highly appropriate.
I go to Vegas about twice a year - I stay with a friend and his family - about 5 miles from where this happened...

There is nothing more bone chilling. Believe it or not some people may quit the academy over it. They will realize this shit is for real and see what can happen to them.
Very sad

Thats sad stuff man.
Well... Metro has been known to be the bad area and the cops are generally in more danger (ask LasVegasOG he has seen it first hand on a ride along) but this time it was different being that it is a higher class area with expensive homes.
No one will quit the academy but this will strengthen the fact that we need to be prepared everyday for what can happen. And it has been told to us numerous times that Domestic Violence calls are the most dangerous calls to go to.
Just don't be surprised if you lose someone. Trust me it happens...

And DVs are right up there with traffic stops. They can be extremely dangerous because you have to assume that the victim will turn on you if you arrest the attacker. We have a policy that unless absolutely necessary to preserve life, we ALWAYS have a cover officer.
And I'm glad to hear that no one is quitting the Academy. Shows strength of character.
Take care...

I too was kind of surprised to hear it was out of the SW area command. Generally a good area. But everyone is right, It can happen any where. The higher class places here people do tend to think nothing can happen to them and that they are invincible. Also another thing that hasnt been pointed out, The other officer involved I send my prayers to him, I dont think he will ever be able to walk right. He was shot 3 times in the knee.

Thought I would add more to this.
It was a tragic and emotional day for law enforcement in the valley. One of their own was killed in the line of duty and another injured. The officers were responding to a domestic violence call when the suspect, a local rapper, opened fire.
A 14-year Metro veteran, 37-year-old Sgt. Henry Prendes, was killed. He leaves behind a wife and two young daughters. Sgt. Prendes grew up in Las Vegas.
The suspect, who was also killed, was 21-year-old Amir Rashid Crump. Sheriff Bill Young said Crump fired 50 rounds at police from a cheap AK-47 type assault rifle. He reloaded several times, as officers found several empty "banana clips." Young said it was clear that Crump was prepared for any confrontation with police.
Dozens of officers spent the afternoon and evening visiting the officer who is recovering at UMC. The officer was reportedly shot three times in the right knee.
While those officers stood by their comrade, others were busy investigating at the scene of the crime looking for clues about the man who shot the two officers and how it all unfolded.
It started out like many other calls, a domestic disturbance with a man accused of beating his girlfriend. But this one was different. When the officer arrived at the home in the southwest valley near Durango and Russell, police say that officer realized he was dealing with a violent suspect and would need assistance.
The officer called for backup, but then the suspect attacked, shooting the officer with an assault rifle and killing him. He is the first Metro officer to be shot to death in the line of duty in 18 years.
An officer responded. When that officer arrived, he saw that the first officer had been shot. The suspect fired at the second officer who returned fire hitting and killing the suspect, but not before he was shot three times in the leg. His injuries are not life threatening.
The name of this officer is being withheld, which is routine when lethal force is used.
Metro Assistant Sheriff Rod Jett issued the following timeline Feb. 1 at 4 p.m.
1) Officer responded to a violent domestic call at approximately 1:20 p.m. The officer was met in the front yard of the residence by the girlfriend of the suspect, her mother and brother.
2) Prior to the officer arriving, police received numerous calls from neighbors about a suspect out in the front yard beating a woman with a stick and chasing her around the yard. The officer called for a back up and a plains clothes officer responded.
3) Once officers arrived on the scene, they conferred with the family in the front yard. The family related to the officers that the suspect had retreated into the house.
4) Officers approached the house, which had an open door. As they approached the doorway they were immediately met by gunfire. The suspect was using an assault rifle.
5) One officer was instantly killed. The second officer returned fire on the suspect and the suspect was killed.
The shooting happened at 8336 Feather Duster Court in the southwest part of the valley near Durango and Russell.
I have more info then that given by LasVegasOG but I dont know that this is the place to share it. It is stuff that wasnt told to the public and I dont know if I should. I will evalute what I know and decide later of what I should say.
Our whole academy is going to the funeral on Tuesday.
If you go to the Officer Down Memorial Page it has a more accurate story of how it ended. I will leave it at that. It has a Picture and everything updated.

Scientists believe the Earth is rapidly approaching a catastrophic tipping point, driven by the activity of human beings, the Huffington Post reported this week.
The scientists argue that the Earth's climate is reaching a point of no return and that we are headed for rapid, destructive changes, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The scientists say the changes will lead to mass extinctions, scarce resources for humans and eventual politcal and economic clashes.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4 degrees in the last 100 years and could rise 2 to 11.5 degrees in the next 100 years.
The Nature Conservancy states that a quarter of the planet's species could go extinct by 2050. NASA predicts a decrease in crop yields for North America of 5 to 20 percent and up to 50 percent in Africa.
Scientists argue that one of the causes of climate change is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since the Industrial Revolution began, scientist have said that human activity – deforestation, land use and the burning of fossil fuels – have increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere by a third.
Critics of global warming say that the concern is overblown and off-base. Richard Lindzen, professor of meteorology at MIT, wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "Claims that climate change is accelerating are bizarre."
Lindzen stated that the Earth went thorugh a cooling period from the 15th century through the 19th century known at the Little Ice Age and some warming would be expected after that period.
U.S. Senator James Inhofe, R-OK, has been an outspoken critic of global warming science and suggested political motivations are behind it. Inhofe's book "Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future" was published this year.

Saturday, April 6, 2013 —
I am a fan of Sam Raimi, the director of "Oz the Great and Powerful." Chances are you have seen some of his work, even if you did not realize it. He directed all three of the first "Spider-Man" series, the ones with Tobey MaGuire as Peter Parker/Spidey. In 2009, he directed one of my favorite horror movies of the last two decades: "Drag Me to Hell." I know the title sounds strange, but it is one of the best PG-13 horror films ever. It was my choice in 2010 for my annual Scary Movie Night that happens the weekend before Halloween every year: all my guests were quite pleased with the selection.
Raimi also directed some films that I did not like including "The Gift" (which you can always find in the bargain bin at Walmart), "For Love of the Game" and "The Quick and the Dead." But I will forgive him these mistakes because of his greatest film, "A Simple Plan." Simply put, "Plan" is one of the best films ever about the erosion of morality in the lives of a few people struggling with a vast temptation.
I wish I could write that Raimi's new film, "Oz the Great and Powerful" was equal to "A Simple Plan." I wish I could write that "Oz" is equal to the first two "Spideys;" unfortunately it is not. But those are very high standards.
I would place it close to "Spidey 3," and I liked that film more than many "Spidey" fans I know. So I liked "Oz" overall; there is a certain universal appeal to a story of selfish con-man finally learning to care for others.
However, before I tell you the film's strengths, allow me to tell you it's limitations. First, much of the film was so dazzling visually, that certain moments were lacking because there was nothing at which to stare with wonder.
From a plot perspective, much of the film was action driven and exciting, but when it lagged, it really slowed down, not quite boring, but certainly not equal to the adrenaline-filled moments when the film was at its best. And as happens with many other films, the climax was not as strong as earlier moments.
On the other hand, here is what I liked. For most of the film, the visual effects were stellar. The 3-D in this film was used as effective as in any film I have ever seen. (My constant readers already know, I am not the biggest fan of 3-D but I enjoyed it this time.) Almost every frame of the film was crowded with colorful, stunning sites that truly created another world and some remarkable characters. This is not Dorothy's "Oz" from 1939, but oh it is an "Oz" worthy of the ticket price just for the production design.
I also liked the four leads. James Franco, who seems always to be having fun with this material, is quite good here. (This work certainly is not equal to his efforts in "127 Hours," but that film is a long way from "Oz.)" Michelle Williams is absolutely stunning in both her roles as Glinda and Annie; Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz make great villains.
The one thing I liked most about the film is the respect it has for the classic. I enjoyed the opening in black and white with the 4:3 aspect ratio on screen. Then, of course, as the young magician named "Oz," travels to the land that bears his name, the screen widens and the colors become brilliant. There were other references to the classic: singing munchkins, cornfields and scarecrows, a brief appearance by a cowardly lion, just to name a few. I have only read "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (and that was many years ago), but I have known for a long time that Frank Baum wrote a series of books about this magical world. Much of the literary "Oz" is on screen I am sure, but I also think Raimi worked hard to reference the classic film with this prequel, and I appreciated that greatly.
We have had two good fairytale films in the last month. I liked "Jack the Giant Slayer" and I like "Oz the Great and Powerful" even a little bit more. Neither are great cinema, but both are worth a viewing. And perhaps for you as they did for me, a journey awaits back to the sweet days of childhood.

West Mercia Police raid £10m reserves to balance budget (From Ludlow Advertiser)

West Mercia Police raid £10m reserves to balance budget
Updated 5:07pm Monday 11th February 2013 in Ludlow By Tom Edwards, Political Reporter
POLICE chiefs are to raid the reserves by £10 million to help plug gaping holes in the budget - leading to fears they are taking a risk.
Bill Longmore, the police and crime commissioner for West Mercia, wants to use cash from the 'rainy day' pot to balance his books between now and 2015.
Pressure to cut budgets from central Government, as well as a decision to freeze the police's portion of the council tax bill, has left a gaping black hole in the force's finances. The reserves pot, which has £22 million in it at the moment, will be raided by £3.5m in April, £2.4m next year and £4.3m in 2015/16.
The reserves fund is designed to be used in emergencies, as a last-resort to solve financial problems.
The move was debated during a meeting of the police and crime panel at Worcester's County Hall, where some politicians backed it while others said it was a risk. Councillor Roger Hollingworth said: "Looking at this budget we are spending reserves that were built up over a long period of time despite admitting it is a risk.
"I don't believe we should be using our reserves to help fund areas of the plan for the next three years."
Others said it was the right move as the force is already cutting £21 million from the budget by 2015/16, and without using the reserves even more would need to be slashed.
Councillor Adrian Hardman said: "I think he's doing the entirely right thing here - the ratio of reserves we have is perfectly adequate and while I do see how some members think he's taking a risk, this is existing taxpayers money that is sitting in reserves for entirely this purpose.
"It is the right strategy to take."
Dave Clarke, chief finance officer for the PCC office, said: "There are always additional risks that come along and use of the reserves is always sensitive. "But at this point the reserves are very healthy, so the question is do we use it to help policing or keep it in reserves for perpetuity."
He said it was a "prudent" approach and would still leave enough in the pot to cover for other emergency costs as they emerge.

The money will run out 'so' they will either want to keep using the reserves which eventually will run out,
'top up' the reserves using the only means possible ....US!!!!
OR go to the government and ask for more(which they will say no because their more interested in spending it abroad)
Rock and hard place comes to mind

HoliMont Ski Resort is kicking off its 50th anniversary season at this weekend's Ellicottville Fall Festival with rides on its new detachable quad chair lift.
The Exhibition Express quad chair will be running from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. The chair is an upgrade from a fixed-grip quad chair and will reduce time getting up the slopes. Rides are free and open to the public.
"If you are a ski area, if you aren't upgrading all the time you are falling behind, said General Manager Dave Riley. "If you want to be a player you have to upgrade your infrastructure.
The resort will also hold its annual meeting starting at 9 a.m.
HoliMont opened for the 1962-63 ski season with approximately 12 members and has grown to about 1,350 memberships, which encompasses about 4,000 people because many of the memberships belong to families.

The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), a division of the

agencies better collaborate on cybersecurity,
according to an article in InformationWeek.
A wiki is a website that easily allows multiple users to add and edit content. The agencies collaborating on the wiki include the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, the FBI's National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force and the Defense Department's Joint Task Force-Global Network Operations.

The U.S. military's operations depend on the timely and efficient movement of supplies and equipment around the world, whether the country is at war or conducting peacetime operations. Radio frequency identification tags (RFID) -- basically wireless bar codes -- are quickly becoming the standard to track and manage the military supply chain.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the pressure they place on the supply chain, have put the spotlight on RFID technology. The Pentagon just placed a $6.6 million order with Lockheed Martin's Savi unit for RFID tags to track and manage supplies on their way to the battlefield. Savi's RIFD technology can be embedded into supplies or equipment during production or attached externally.

Just about 2% of the more than $3.5 billion in integrated circuits the Pentagon purchases annually to control its military gear is manufactured in facilities secured by American companies, according to an article in The New York Times.
That's a big concern for cybersecurity experts, and current and former military planners who worry that malicious code, called Trojan horses, can easily be embedded within the circuitry and triggered at will to render weapons and communications systems useless or uncontrollable at critical moments.

Systems Engineering
The mission is to promote the widespread use of systems engineering (SE) in the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition process in order to achieve affordable and supportable weapon systems that meet the needs of the military users. To provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas and concepts between government, industry and academia. To develop a new understanding of a streamlined SE process.
|The SE Division is supported by Mr. Stephen P. Welby, Director, Systems Engineering, in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. The Systems Engineering directorate is responsible for all matters relating to DoD
major program acquisition systems engineering, software engineering,
systems assurance, and systems of systems engineering.
The directorate includes the offices of Major Program Support, Mission Assurance, and System Analysis, with responsibilities in acquisition program support and oversight, systems engineering policy and guidance, human capital, software acquisition management and engineering, system integration, and government-industry collaboration.
|The directorate's 2010 focus area include workforce development, early systems engineering, simplifying defense acquisition guidance, and promoting best systems engineering practices to reduce risk.
|Graphic representations of a system used to help visualize
complex functional and data requirements of the system engineering
projects include:
Custom graphical representations can be developed to meet unique requirements of the system.
Technical Documentation
|Many executives are too busy to read
lengthy reports or to understand a highly technical short report.
They need briefs in plain English to help them to make timely
decisions in systems engineering or meeting compliance
requirements in a multi-priority environment. These briefs can come
in either as a hardcopy or PowerPoint slides. The trend shows
that more and more executives opt for the PowerPoint slides.
One example is the presentation I prepared for the DISA chief for system engineering discussion on vulnerabilities and Service Level Agreements. As a result, I contributed to the first and later versions of the NECC SLA Template.
I write, edit and speak on a wide range of IT technologies and networking topics geared to specific needs of enterprise stakeholders -- users, developers, engineers, business analysts and executives. They include:
Service Level Agreement
NECC Annex to SLA Template
|A DISA chief invited me to send him my
PowerPoint slides on performance metrics for system engineering discussion with his team
and then to contribute to the first and later versions of the NECC
Annex to the SLA Template.
He discovered my Web article on "Mitigate risks with vulnerabilities with a SLA guarantee" and thought it was a "great one!"
Want more? Read on.
The NECC is the Department of Defense's (DoD's) principal command and control (C2) capability focused on providing the Warfighter with the data and information needed to make timely, effective and informed decisions. Commanders use NECC to adapt rapidly to changing mission needs by defining and tailoring their information environment and drawing on capabilities that enable the efficient, timely and effective command of forces and control of engagements.
RFID applications
Three main RFID applications for military use are: Supply in the
Chain, Asset Tracking and Security. Each application must come with a
SLA guarantee to help the military to track supplies in the most
efficient manner.
Integration of RFID data with key applications, such as those for IT infrastructure and help desk management, can help to bring significant increases in SLA compliance, IT infrastructure responsiveness, and unplanned downtime. For this reason, performance metrics and vulnerability mitigation are some important aspects of the SLA to ensure guaranteed high uptime availability.
Training and Workshops
|As of January 1, 2007 DoD required RFID tagging for all manufacturers and supplier who have new contacts issued with the appropriate contract clause. We need to address what the issues of integrating with enterprise systems are, what the EPC classes are, what RFID security concerns we have other than privacy issues, how RFID technology would contribute to Defense in depth as it matures, what other RFID standards we should have and what the current status of the DoD mandate is.

Dwight Howard is set to meet with the Warriors, a team that will need to work out a sign-and-trade with the Lakers to acquire Howard. They are prepared to send out an assortment of players.
The Lakers are still linked to disgruntled Jazz guard Raja Bell, and should the Jazz buyout the remainder of Bell's contract, the Lakers would look to bring him to Los Angeles.
The Lakers decided to hold onto Dwight Howard, just as Mitch Kupchak said the would, and the team didn't make any moves with the roster as the NBA trade deadline passed over.
The Lakers assured Dwight Howard they had no intention of trading him, but Alex Kennedy reports the Lakers are still fielding calls on their center.

August 1, 2014
Morgantown, W.Va. (AP) -- The President of City College of New York and the Provost of Maryland's Towson University are the finalists for the top job at West Virginia University.
The university's search committee announced the names late Monday.
Gregory H. Williams has been President of City College since 2001, and the school's web site says enrollment has since grown 50 percent to about 15,000 students. He'll be in Morgantown Wednesday.
James Clements, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs at Maryland's Towson University, has taught there since 1989. He'll be in Morgantown Thursday.
WVU hopes to choose a President April 3. Mike Garrison resigned last summer over a master's degree scandal involving the governor's daughter.

Alaska Wildlife Trooper, Cody Litster was recently awarded Alaska Wildlife Trooper of the Year and "A" Detachment Trooper of the Year at a ceremony in Anchorage.
Out of 71 wildlife troopers in the state, Litster was at the top.
"This just means that I did my job in 2012," Litster said. "I am honored that I was chosen."
Litster has been the lone trooper for Petersburg for the last three and a half years and plans to remain here.
"There is another trooper in Wrangell and the next closest one is in Juneau," Litster said. "I have the opportunity to work with several different agencies that keeps me from really being alone in this job."
He has been a trooper for 10 years and moved to Alaska with his wife, Megan in 2001 and loves Alaska.
"In college, I was hoping to become a biologist and when that didn't work out and I wasn't accepted into grad school I came to Alaska for the summer," Litster said. "I worked construction with the family business and just had to find a way to stay here and this was it."
Litster spent a little less than 18 months as the trooper for Petersburg when he was new to the position.
"We have one remote mandatory move and this one was open," Litster explained. "No one wanted to come here, it was like the best kept secret. When I applied the second time, I was the senior bidder out of seven that wanted to move here. I think the secret is out but it doesn't matter, I'm staying."
Litster explained that he loves Petersburg, the people are great, the schools are exceptional and he and his family will be here long term.
He also explained that being a wildlife trooper is a different sort of law enforcement, there is an openness with the community that makes their well being important to him.
"I seldom put people in jail," he stated. "I seldom make the difference as to whether someone is unable to work and lose their livelihood."
His position as trooper in Palmer and Wasilla differed from here because of the people.
"In the Valley, it was a very tourist driven area. There was a smaller area to be patrolled, but more population and an impact had to be made right then," Litster said. "Here, I will see the same fishermen, families, etc. over and over again. I can make decisions on a case-by-case basis and not send someone to court or make a date with the Magistrate."
Litster feels that there is plenty to keep him interested and busy for years to come.
"Since I got up here to Alaska, my life has been charmed and I couldn't have written a better script for my life than the one I am living," he stated. "I plan to retire here. I have seen many other places around the state and I can't think of anywhere I would rather be than here."

Daniel Jr. commits to Oregon
By Phil Jensen
Monday, October 3rd, 2011 at 3:43 pm in Uncategorized.
Bishop O'Dowd defensive lineman/tight end T.J. Daniel Jr. has made an oral commitment to Oregon. He committed Sunday morning to Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti.
The 6-foot-6, 240-pound Daniel Jr. said that Oregon is planning to play him at defensive end. He also considered Oregon State, Washington and Cal Poly before choosing the Ducks. He has not taken any official visits, but is planning on taking one to Oregon.
"Oregon was one of my favorite schools and I always wanted to be there," said Daniel Jr., who also punts this season for the Dragons. "They were in the national championships last year and their legacy was winning, and I wanted to be part of competing for national championships."
Daniel Jr. also said that he is still planning to play basketball for O'Dowd this upcoming season. He was a solid contributor off the bench for last season's California Interscholastic Federation Division III state runners-up.

Parker County Pets Alive is combining with Center of Hope in Aledo to help pets throughout the month of February.
Running through the end of the month, PCPA will have containers placed at five locations throughout Parker County to collect pet food items such as kibble and canned food for dogs and cats of all ages. While food is an important part of the drive, animals, like people, need other things as well.
The drive also includes bones, biscuits, rawhide chews, pig ears and other treats for dogs and cats. Cat toys can include such common things as ribbons from gifts and, strangely enough, dice, according to PCPA President Lee Ann Adams.
While any donations are being accepted, Adams requested no donations of 'Ol Roy pet food. Donations are being taken at Brookshire's locations in Weatherford and Willow Park, along with Teskey's in Weatherford. Spectacles West, 2529 South Main St., Ste. 102, in Weatherford and Le Chateau K-9 Day Spa, 5011 E. I-20 Service Road North in Willow Park are also accepting donations.
PCPA is an organization dedicated to helping animals in their time of need. The group has organized low cost vaccination and spay/neuter clinics the fourth Thursday of every month at Cow Camp Cowboy Church in Weatherford.
Adams says whatever donations can't be used by the Center of Hope's Pet Pantry will be donated to other organizations such as the Weatherford/Parker County Animal Shelter.
For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or on Facebook — Parker County Pets Alive.

text: In 1994, David B. Gentry, Laura G. Vanhoy, and H.W. Sharpe, Jr. took an opportunity and purchased the former Huff Funeral Home Facility of Jonesville, located at 4517 Little Mountain Road. The facility was remodeled and opened on June 24 of the same year as Gentry Family Funeral Service. In 1996 a decision was made to expand the operations to Yadkinville for a broader service area and to better serve the families located there. Land was purchased at 5108 US Highway 601 and construction began on a new 18000 Square foot facility, which was completed and opened in August of 1997. In 2008, David B. Gentry completed the purchase of the remaining shares in order to keep the firm family owned and operated.Through the years, the owners were fortunate to have the advise and direction from Grady M. Mackie and Carl Gentry, Jr., both former owners of Mackie-Gentry Funeral Home of Yadkinville, who have a combined number of over 100 years experience in funeral service.Gentry Family Funeral Service has been blessed with dedicated employees who give their time and effort in the community to assist families through the transition of the death of a loved one. The firm has always been committed to providing professional, caring, and compassionate service to families. We are proud to remain and conduct ourselves as, "Family Focused, Family Owned, and Family Committed".

Follow me on Twitter: @BryanJFischer, on Facebook at "Focal Point"
The hit parade of homofascist hate crimes continues, as homosexual activists once again prove that they are the real bigots in the room. There is no place among homosexual activists for disagreement with their lifestyle or their agenda. There is no place in the world they envision for freedom of religion, conscience, speech or association for any who will not meekly capitulate to their demands.
There is no place among homosexual activists for disagreement with their lifestyle or their agenda. There is no place in the world they envision for freedom of religion, conscience, speech or association for any who will not meekly capitulate to their demands.
As I have often said, America will have to choose between homosexuality and religious liberty because we cannot have both.
The latest instance: pro- homosexual activists did a rock-and-run attack on a Christian school in Arlington Heights, Ill., where author and pro-family activist Scott Lively was slated to speak at a banquet sponsored by Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH).
Dr. Lively exposed the truth about the connection between homosexuality, Hitler, and the Nazi Party in his indispensable book, "The Pink Swastika."
The message "Shut down Lively" was scrawled on one of the bricks (hey, let's celebrate freedom of religion, speech and association, shall we?) and a note threatened even more violence if the church which sponsors the school at which the banquet was held does not stop providing a platform for people who, well, tell the truth about homosexuality.
"This is just a sample of what we will do if you don't shut down Scott Lively and AFTAH," said the note. And apparently forgetting President Obama's appeal for a "new tone" in our civic discourse, the haters added, "F---Scott Lively. Quit the homophobic s---!"
According to WorldNetDaily, a subsequent press release from the vandals read as follows:
"In the early morning hours of October 15th, we put two chunks of concrete through the glass windows and doors of the Christian Liberty Academy. We did this because at 6 p.m. today they will be hosting an event organized by the homophobic hate group Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, that [sic] will be presenting an award to Scott Lively."
The statement continues, "These chunks of concrete were thrown through these windows and doors for two reasons: to show that there is a consequence for hatred and homophobia in our community and to directly cause this event to be shut down. If this event is not shut down, and the homophobic day trainings do not end, the Christian Liberty Academy will continue to be under constant attack." (Emphasis mine.)
As Peter LaBarbera correctly observed, this is "'homofascism' being raised to the level of domestic terrorism."
LaBarbera added that it's time for the pro-family community to stand up to these bullies and refuse to cower and capitulate any longer.
"A lot of Chistians cower in fear before the power and influence of the homosexual lobby. It's not helpful. If you demonstrate you can be intimidated, you reward the bully. The 'gay' bully has been rewarded enough times, so many times they think they can get their way. We hope more churches will refuse to be bullied and will stand up to tell the truth about the homosexual agenda."
Is this whole thing indeed a "hate" crime? Of course it is. Here is the legal definition:
"A hate crime is usually defined by state law as one that involves threats, harassment, or physical harm and is motivated by prejudice against someone's race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability." - USLegal.com
"A threat involves an act of coercion. It is an expression of an intention to inflict an evil or injury on another person..." (Emphasis mine.)
So this attack involves threats motivated by prejudice against someone's religion (check) and includes expression of an intention to inflict injury or evil on another person (check).
Dr. Lively, by the way, was accused of responsibility for the death of a prominent Ugandan homosexual activist, David Kisule. But unfortunately for the Christophobic haters in the pro-homosexual movement, the culprit turned out to be a homosexual prostitute and the murder was about a homosexual relationship gone disastrously and predictably wrong.
Dr. Lively has never advocated violence of any kind against homosexuals. Instead, he correctly believes that our public policies toward homosexuality be similar to our public policies toward substance abuse.
As he expressed in a letter, he advised the Ugandan government to focus "on rehabilitation and not punishment." The letter goes on, "I urged them to become the first government in the world to develop a state-sponsored recovery system for homosexuality on the model we have in the United States for alcoholism." He views homosexuality as "a treatable behavioral disorder," and believes, as a man of faith, that there is hope for the homosexual.
So once again, homosexual activists provide evidence that they are the greatest perpetrators of hate crimes on the American landscape. If the goal is to stamp out hate crimes, then stopping the homosexual lobby is the place to begin.

2.13/5 rDev -35.8%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2
Poured from 12oz bottle. Thanks go out to VinnieVanGogh for this bottle.
A- Pours a deep black color. One finger mocha colored head shows horrible retention and seems to die before all the beer is poured out of the glass. Hints of speckled lace on the sides of the glass.
S- A little muted on the nose. Roasted malts come through with the help of my nose in the glass. Hints of darker chocolate come next then darker fruits. Light coffee in the backing with a distinct alcohol aroma in the end mixing with some overwhelming metallic tones in the finish.
T- Roasted upfront on this beer mixes with a touch of baker's chocolate in the inital front. The roast follows through as the baker's chocolate dies out. Hints of darker fruit and the first light alcohol note comes through. There is a coffee flavor that picks up from this point (middle of the beer) that welcomes the second coming of bitter chocolate. Darker fruits are on the ending along with a strong metallic flavor that makes me feel like I'm licking a can at first but by the end it is a only a minor annoyance. Alcohol is a little hot on the ending.
M- Light mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the style. Light bitter chocolate, roasted malts, metal, and hints of coffee are left on the palate. Aftertaste is metal, light alcohol, light roasted malts, and chocolate. This beer is a little underbalanced I thought and needed a little more hop presence. A big metallic flavor was the key off flavor and killed a lot of the aroma and flavor profile to this beer. Light alcohol drying on the palate.
O- This beer started off with some thing going for it. That is just about all it had though. A nice try but far from the mark in my book. If I could try this on tap it might be different. The ABV wasn't there which was nice but I'm thinking if the metallic overtones were missing then it might be a different story.

$ 1.89/12 oz bottle at Lager Mill
Bottle at 40 degrees into imperial pint
Aroma of malt and chocolate
Head – basically none – a small head forms but disappears almost immediately after the pour, leaving a 2 mm ring which is light brown
Lacing none
Body very dark brown to black, opaque
Flavor of dark malt and chocolate, moderately sweet; no alcohol, no hops, no diacetyl. There is some bitterness at the end.
Palate full, creamy, soft carbonation.
Overall, a decent RIS with a good price point. The flavor could have more depth and longevity, but overall this is an acceptable gateway RIS.

Solid black - opaque. Little head retention or lacing.
Aroma is chocolate and smoke.
Taste of leather and tobacco with a finishing ripe dark fruit sweetness.
Very smooth with a fine carbonation.
Well balanced beer. The roasted, tobacco taste is strong, but not overpowering due to the sweetness. Hides the alcohol well. This is my first beer from Tri City and am impressed.

12 oz. bottle
no visable date, purchased 12/13
A- Wow, insane amount of head, with only about half the bottle in the glass before I had to stop head was about 2inchs high lol. Dark mocha colored head, after 2-3 minutes the head fell to less than a finger high, but left crazy amounts of lacing all the way to the top and stays stuck. Beer is near black in color.
S- Was hoping for more after the crazy head. You can smell the roasted malts, some cocoas, small amounts of dark fruits, slight amount of coffee, some vanillas in the finish. Its all there I suppose, but nothing stands out and goes BAM.
T- Real close to the nose, with nothing jumping out to make you want to run out and grab more.
M- Medium body that is more watery than slick. Was expecting more creamy with the head, but no. Carbonations is light and fizzels over your tongue as it coats it.
O- The head is the most impressive part of this one and everything else is rather average, nothing bad, but nothing that makes me want to stock it. It was a good price at under $2 for the bottle, and worth trying just because its affordable. Average beer probably worth trying if you see it on the shelves.

A surprisingly cheap $2 single. Poured it into a shaker pint. Had their Giant Vanilla Slayer at last year's World Expo of Beer in Frankenmuth and thought it was a fantastic beer. How's this one?
Appearance: A half-aggressive pour had to be stopped after three ounces due to an insane amount of foaming. What? I haven't seen that for an Imperial Stout in my LIFE. Huge cinnamon colored head that eventually went down to about half a finger and stayed. A lot of lacing. Pitch black hued brew.
Smell: B-L-A-H. Worst Imperial Stout I've whiffed, that I can remember. I've never smelled one quite so bland. Mild roast, but I actually get a lot of hop character in there. So much so that it almost smells like a black IPA, but not quite. Well, I don't think it's so much that the hops are potent as the other characteristics are just subdued. A shame.
Taste/feel: A medium sort of feel with a moderate carbonation. Not quite what I'd expect for the style, but not bad. That hop character comes through on the start with a weird, surprising wave of... saltiness? This is an incredibly salty tasting beer. On the back there's a very pleasant roasty character with some chocolate and alcohol warmth, but it's not there enough through the sip, or even on the finish.
A decent beer. Considering a single bottle was $2, this is about what I expected. The biggest drawback for this beer, aside from the fact that it doesn't have a huge roasty boldness I affiliate with an Imperial Stout, and the feel is a bit off, is definitely that unusual amount of, for the lack of a better description, SALTINESS that I get on this one. Not a soy sauce sort of flavor or anything, just... salt. So much in fact that for a moment after each sip I take, I swear I feel a slight bit of acid reflux -- and I very, very rarely get acid reflux. In case you're wondering, no, I didn't eat anything recently that'd cause it.
It's a fair value for $2 for the ABV alone... and hey, it tastes alright as well. just don't drink too much of this, because you may end up dehydrated. Not from the alcohol, but from the salt.
(I swear to God, there must be a tablespoon per bottle. Why doesn't it ruin the beer for me?)
Give Giant Salter -- I mean Slayer -- a run for yourself.

A: The beer is jet black in color. It poured with a short mocha colored head that died down a bit but never completely faded away.
S: Moderate aromas of licorice, dark malts and molasses are present in the nose.
T: The taste mostly follows the smell and has additional hints of roasted malts in the flavors, most particularly towards the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation along with hints of dryness towards the finish.
O: This beer feels a little lighter in body compared to other Russian Imperial Stouts, but isn't too difficult to drink.

'Giant Slayer' is a cool name for a beer that looks so big and strong; its deep, inky-black tone is sure to be intimidating to most people. It's a natural to play 'David' considering none of the 'Goliath' breweries offer anything remotely so dark or opaque. The most colourful part of the beer is its hazelnut-coloured head... while it lasted.
To be entirely honest, I was expecting the worst after reading the reviews for this beer on the two big rating sites. It's my first offering from this tiny, unknown Michigan brewery. But much to my relief, the aroma shows no noticeable signs of infection and, along with the appearance, is promising. Fudge-y malts, dark fruits, and black licorice are a very decent start.
The flavour has enough chocolate, vanilla, and coffee to keep me happy. It's not the symphony that some Russian Imperial Stouts offer up but it's serviceable. The finish is lightly ashy with an appreciable smokiness and a leafy bitterness that's been entwined with black licorice notes. It's well composed for its strength (though 8.5% is conservative for the style).
The mouthfeel reveals an underlying sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar or molasses. This covers for the faint soy sauce-like impression (and compliments the chocolate brownie and black coffee flavours). It has a hint of oak too, even though it's not barrel-aged (this likely owing to the presence of vanilla bean on the finish). Drink it now. I doubt it'll cellar well.
It looks I was in the lucky minority to get a non-infected bottle of Giant Slayer - take my word, it's not a bad little.. err, big recipe. It doesn't rival Michigan's best Imperial Stouts (Founders' or any of the many Bells) but the people of Bay City can't consider themselves hard-done by; if this were on-tap near me I'd have to hire someone to carry me home.

A Venetia man who was jailed on criminal trespass and other charges after allegedly entering a North Strabane home uninvited last month waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.
District Judge Jay Weller also changed his bail. While it had been set at $25,000, Weller on Tuesday released Robert Cole, 26, on his own recognizance, according to online court records.
North Strabane police also had charged Cole, with loitering and prowling at night, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct, online court records indicate.
According to the Observer-Reporter, Cole allegedly told residents at a township home that he was being chased by person with a gun. When the family called police, the newspaper indicated that Cole then allegedly ran out the door, and was later found trying to hide in a nearby convenience store parking lot.
He then reportedly tried to run from police but was arrested.

By JON REITER
After nailing six out of 10 three-point attempts in helping the host New Albany Bulldogs to the verge of a win against archrival Providence, it was guard Josh Rogers' two free throws with five seconds remaining that secured the 52-48 victory for his squad on Friday night at The Doghouse.
Rogers' free throws came after he watched teammates Garrett Arnold and Anthony Edwards miss four consecutive free throws inside the final 30 seconds of the contest.
New Albany (9-6) led 44-33 with 1:57 remaining in regulation. But Providence charged back and had the opportunity to tie it when Dalton Duley's short jumper missed the mark after a botched New Albany inbounds play with less than 10 seconds remaining.
Following the miss, Rogers grabbed the rebound and his two free throws led to the hard-fought win for the Bulldogs.
"The kids did a really great job tonight," said New Albany coach Jim Shannon, who has won 13 of 15 contests against Providence as head coach and avenged a 30-point loss to the Pioneers last season. "That is a very good ball team [Providence]. It was a 13- to 15-point win for us that turned into a barnburner because we didn't make our free throws."
In the comeback, Pioneer guard Cory Cahalan scored six points over the final two minutes, including a bomb from 30 feet out that made the score 50-46 with 37.4 seconds remaining. Following Edwards' two missed free throws, Duley followed up a miss by George Knott with a tip-in that cut the margin to 50-48 with 15 seconds left.
In the scrum following the basket and New Albany inbounds play, Duley found himself with the basketball and missed the short jumper that led to the Rogers rebound.
The shooting of Duley, Cahalan and Nano Grantz, however, kept the Pioneers in the ballgame. Duley's 15 points led Class 2A No. 4 Providence (13-3) and Grantz and Cahalan added 11 and 10 points, respectively.
New Albany focused its defensive effort on stopping the two Pioneer post players, Knott and Ryan Pickerrell. Pickerrell fouled out after scoring six points, and Knott could never get on track either, scoring four points on 1-of-6 shooting from the field — well below both of their averages.
"That's a credit to the kids," Shannon said. "They really did a nice job — Josh particularly. His thing is baseball [Rogers is a University of Louisville signee as a left-handed pitcher], and he's giving up some size and a lot of experience to Knott — a lot. He really did a great job and rose to the challenge."
Providence coach Lou Lefevre agreed that New Albany's strong defensive effort on Knott was a key.
"They were going to make it tough for George to get those opportunities one-on-one," Lefevre said. "They were doubling on him ... and our job is to find where that's coming from and to find the open person for an easy chance and we weren't able to do that. He ended up trying to make a lot of tough shots he wasn't able to cash in."
It was still a gutsy effort to come back by Providence, which didn't quite get there at the end but provided many anxious moments for the Bulldog faithful. But Lefevre didn't quite view it that way.
"If you're down by 11 points with a few minutes left, it means you really got outplayed for most of the game," he said. "In the [Jeffersonville] game we were down 10 [Providence lost 59-56 to the Red Devils on Jan. 12] and came back, and here we were down 10 and came back. There's nothing good about that. We came back and we tried, but it doesn't change the fact that we got outplayed."
New Albany's Jermaine Parrish nearly matched Rogers' output with 18 points, and the senior guard netted 14-of-18 from the free-throw line.
New Albany will turn around and host Hoosier Hills Conference foe Jennings County at 7:30 tonight.
"We're going to let the kids enjoy this one [Friday], because we haven't beaten an upper-echelon team before [Friday]," Shannon said. "I told them that [today] we have to be ready because Jennings is a very nice ballclub."
Providence will host South Central on Thursday night.

I spent the last few weeks pissed off. Sorry if that word offends you. Sorry if my anger offends you. But if there is one thing I've decided to do during this process, it's to accept, without judgment, whatever emotions suddenly attack. And sometimes I genuinely feel attacked by my own emotions, by my grief. It blows in quickly, swirling like a powerful tornado, leaving a path of destruction where there once was some small spindly structure of peace.
In the past, I felt gentle winds of anger that were quickly stilled by compassion and forgiveness. It took over six months to get there, but I finally got really mad. Anger is one of the accepted stages of grief. There are five: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. They are "not stops on some linear timeline in grief," says Grief.com. They are simply a framework, according to the co-authors of "On Grief and Grieving," Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler.
I didn't really care if anger was an "accepted" stage or not. I just knew I felt it. So, I chose to accept it. And I stayed in it. I settled in and bathed in it. I didn't throw dishes or yell at strangers while behind the wheel. But I had long conversations with my daughter, who chose to leave us.
I was mad at her. Mad at God. Mad at the professionals who couldn't read a crystal ball to tell me my daughter was definitely suicidal.
Mad at some other people who could've stopped what they were doing or done something differently. I was mad at myself for not seeing more clearly the signs or for failing to read her mind that day.
But mostly I was mad at Jocelyn for not stopping, and taking 10 minutes to think about what she would be missing out on in life. I was mad at the damage she left behind with her loved ones. I was mostly mad at her for not seeking the help she knew was so readily available.
Some people are uncomfortable with me being angry, especially when that anger is directed at Joc. But I think Jocelyn is OK with it. Jocelyn kinda liked her anger — it was a way she expressed her depression, which is common for some depressed people. She felt empowered by her anger, as if it could protect her.
Eventually, she discovered that wasn't true. That might've been one reason she gave up.
I also think Jocelyn is OK with her loved ones being angry because she knows it's because we miss her, want her back, love her. I think she couldn't be hurt by my anger. Maybe she could observe it, maybe not. But I feel like it didn't cause her pain
How would I know, right? I know it sounds crazy, but if you've ever lost someone you love, you know that it's possible to feel them around you ... either because they are somehow there or because you are imagining it. But the feeling itself is very real.
In the past, I've felt her trying to rain down peace on me when I'm weeping in pain and sorrow. But while I sat in my "mad cave," as I came to think of it, pouting in the dark, surrounded by dank and stale air, heavy rock overhead and claustrophobic misery all around, I could sometimes feel her poking me and prodding me, teasingly. As if to say, 'Com'on, mom, don't be mad at me. Please, let it go.'
Yeah, it sounds crazy. But if you haven't been there, you really shouldn't judge. And even if you have been there, the journey is so individual that you still really shouldn't judge. Anger isn't attractive. I noticed I was irritable, more rudely opinionated, more abruptly outspoken and brazenly unfiltered.
I felt slightly crazy. But I've read that is a normal part of grief, too. I tried to channel my anger appropriately. I worked out a lot, took time for myself rather than overcommitting. I kept trying to pray, even when I didn't want to. I wrote stuff I wouldn't publish — like this, for example. I even sneered at my daughter's beautiful smiling face in photographs.
I called her stupid (something I would never do to the living) and rolled my eyes at her. I threw my arms in the air in disgust as I walked through the bedroom she had picked out in our new home where she never has slept. I would've much preferred to be mad that her clothes were all over the floor as usual. But I don't have that privilege.
Anger, Kubler-Ross and Kessler wrote, is a "necessary stage of the healing process. Be willing to feel your anger, even though it may seem endless. The more you truly feel it, the more it will begin to dissipate and the more you will heal." Finally, it did begin to dissipate. Finally, I crawled out of my mad cave and took a breath of fresh air. I forgave her. Again. But this time I had gone deep enough in to the anger that the forgiveness, the grace, felt deeper and truer.
I may someday be annoyed, maybe even angry, again. The stages of grief, as I've written before, are circles that you cycle in and out of. But I hope I don't go so deep into it again. "The anger," Kubler-Ross and Kessler say, "is just another indication of the intensity of your love." The love is a more comfortable, peaceful and warm place than the cave, so that's where I plan to end up.

Sugar Rush: Crepes Suzette at Pastis
There's not many places in the city where you can casually drop by for Crepes Suzette in the afternoon, but Pastis is one to remember. It's a classic done well, with a rich, buttery caramelized sauce spooned over the duo of crepes folded into quarters. The flambé action doesn't happen tableside, unfortunately, but you still get the results—a touch boozy with Grand Marnier. A single scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side is just a bonus.

A Sykesville teen pulled from a burning car by a Howard County police officer Friday has been released from Shock Trauma, according to the Howard County Times.
Casey Marie Bellofatto, 18, was rescued from the burning car by Cpl. Craig Ream, an 11-year veteran of the Howard County Police Department. Ream was on his way to work on Rt. 97 in Carroll County when he came upon the two-vehicle accident at 3 a.m. on Jan. 11.
As previously reported on Patch, Ream crawled under the hood of Bellofatto's burning Toyota Corolla and squeezed himself through a small opening to pull the teenager to safety.
Bellofatto was released from Shock Trauma Monday, and according to an article in the Howard County Times she was sent to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center where she remains in critical condition.
Police said the driver of the other vehicle, Christine Elizabeth Stramm, was transported to Shock Trauma in serious condition. Shock Trauma did not have an update on Stramm.

After numerous delays, the space transport company sends its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft into orbit to carry cargo to the International Space Station. Next up: get that rocket back.
Within a decade, unmanned freighters could be operating in regions like the Baltic Sea, and some think they could be safer, cheaper, and cleaner than manned cargo vessels. But regulatory and labor concerns remain.
Actually, this Kickstarter project is already fully funded, so now you just have to decide if you want to order yours early.

A commercial cargo ship built by SpaceX successfully attaches to the International Space Station today, two days after thruster problems threatened to derail the resupply mission.
After assessing the health of a SpaceX cargo ship in the wake of thruster problems Friday, NASA managers cleared the craft for a Sunday linkup with the International Space Station.
After more than six hours of suspense, engineers are optimistic they've resolved trouble with thrusters on the Dragon cargo ship, clearing the way for a rendezvous with the International Space Station.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket boosted a commercial cargo ship into orbit Friday, but company flight controllers faced problems with on-board thrusters that help up solar array deployment.
In the final phase of its first operational flight, the commercial cargo ship returns safely to Earth, carrying nearly a ton of supplies and experiment samples.
After a flawless final rendezvous, a commercial SpaceX cargo ship is captured by the International Space Station's robot arm and attached to a docking port for unloading.

Nothing like getting Winter started in October. The last two Octobers have been pretty quiet, due to La Nina. However, during an El Nino ( like we are currently experiencing) we can get some pretty robust October snowstorms. Recent good October snowstorms occurred on October 26th, 2006 and October 26th of 1997. While this one wasn't quite as big as those storms, it still left it's mark. The graphics below are courtesy of the National Weather Service Office in Pueblo.
Excellent moisture content with this storm too. Check out the liquid equivalent from the snow and rain:
We've been dry around here lately, so it was certainly nice to get some good moisture. If you read our blog regularly, you know that I have been touting an active Winter. So, here's to the start of an active Winter...
