Arrests Made in Gang-Related Assault in Silver Spring
Police said the arrests are part of an investigation involving a street gang known as "Little R" or "La Raza."
Montgomery County police arrested three men from Aspen Hill, Rockville and Glenmont earlier this month as part of an investigation into a series of assaults and robberies in the Wheaton and Good Hope areas.
According to a statement from police, the investigation involves a street gang known as "Little R" or "La Raza."
On Nov. 4, Montgomery County police responded to the 1400 block of Silo Way in the Good Hope area of Silver Spring, where the victim, a 22-year-old man from Rockville, was attending a party.
What had started as a verbal dispute over beer escalated into an assault, and multiple people struck the victim's head repeatedly with broken glass bottles. He sustained serious injuries and was taken to an area hospital for treatment, according to police.
On Nov. 8, detectives arrested and charged Andres Jose Cortez, 20, of the 3300 block of Hewitt Avenue in Aspen Hill with attempted second degree murder and first degree assault. Kevin Reynold Valdez, 19, of the 14000 block of Cove Lane in Rockville, was arrested and charged with first degree assault and conspiracy.
On Nov. 14, Cristian Javier Ayala, 17, of the 2600 block of Terrapin Road in Glenmont, was arrested and charged as an adult with first and second degree assault.
All three were being held on bond and awaiting court dates.

now we have two groups with the same name - one is a legal gang and the other an illegal gang, both with the same general aims

These gangs need to be stopped. It's not racist. Statistics shows that 80% of these gang bangers are here illegally and have serious records from where they are from. Yes I agree if they are here illegally don't send them to the jails in the US send them back to where they are a legal resident.

C.Z. Guy, I don't think there is such a thing as a "legal" gang! Just sayin'.

It's presumptuous to assume they're not from here and racist bc the statement was probably made just based on their ethnicity, not on some statistic

Am I to understand there will be a gay Dark Souls forum? I ask because when I loaded up Dark Souls for the first time I spent a good while trying to make a character that was sexy-looking and ended up with a Seth Green clone. I can only assume the game is broken.
It must have been heartbreaking to find out that no matter how sexy your character turned out to be, it was inevitable that it would end up a glorified raisin anyway.
"Why are there so many/songs about rainbows?" - The Rainbow Connection Are there, though? Because I can think of two, and one of them is you.
You asked. In fairness, I did take one of these songs from this article, but I also provided one that they didn't know about, so I call it even. And I had to drop the one I got from there anyway to get down to five media clips, so I guess that means I win or something.
What can I say? Even after many years of learning, English is still a bit of a beast for me :). Wanted: better fitting synonyms for "need":
I just find it disappointing that we didn't get to have a gay-off for the title of supreme forum mod :(
Puns are firly difficult to do for an ESL, kind of a crowning achievement. But I bet you saw that one coming. I, otoh, often can't see the forest for the trees.
Puns are the lowest form of humour, valuable time wasted that you could have used perfecting some razor sharp sarcasm.
You studs burn me up with this barking mad humor. I will be leaving now. Spreading any roots here would stunt my growth as a person. I might be a little green around the edges but I'm no sap. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry.

Late yesterday, a spot fire got established at the base of West Prospect Peak. Due to very dry fuel conditions, firefighters have contended with the fire spotting across the lines.
The Lassen National Forest and Lassen Volcanic National Park are working together and providing a coordinated response to the fire. Smoke impacts will continue for the foreseeable future.
In the interest of public safety Summit Lake Campground has been closed due to increased fire suppression activities in the area. The main park highway (Hwy 89) continues to be closed for from Chaos Crags to Kings Creek. Lost Creek, Crags, Summit Lake campgrounds are closed.
Lassen National Forest has initiated fire emergency closures: Please visit the Lassen National Forest web-site at www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/lassen/alerts-notices for further details.

Ask Five with....L.L. Foster/Lori Foster!!!!!
Read the RRT review --> Servant: The Awakening.
[RRT Blog] Tell us about Servant: The Awakening.
[Lori Foster] SERVANT is the first of my books focusing more on the horror/urban fantasy element than on the romance. There is a romance, but it's not as prominent as my Lori Foster books. In the first SERVANT book, The Awakening, I introduce the lead characters of Gaby and Luther. Gaby has a special gift – to see beyond the surface of normal people, to their demonic souls. Luther is a detective who is both drawn to Gaby, but suspicious of her.
[RRT Blog] Is this going to be a series and if so, how many books will there be?
[Lori Foster] It's a series, and so far I'm planning on about 5 books. But if you're familiar with my style, you know that could change. I write by the seat of my pants and sometimes (many times) things happen that I don't expect.
Like new characters. New twists. New stories.
[RRT Blog]What made you decide to branch out into Urban Fantasy?
[Lori Foster] I've always wanted to write horror-type books, but I wanted to put my own stamp on them. That is, I wanted to do them my way, not any traditional way. My editor told me that SERVANT is more like romantic horror, but there are urban fantasy undertones too, so... I just hope readers like it!
[RRT Blog] With the release of Servant, does this mean you're cutting back on your steamy contemporaries?
[Lori Foster] Cutting back on ALL writing has been the plan for awhile. Right now, I'm hoping to do a romance, a horror/urban fantasy, and a novella each year. Other projects might come up, but I really want to give myself more down time.
[RRT Blog]What's coming up next for both Lori Foster and L.L. Foster?
[Lori Foster] The next Lori Foster single title will be Hard to Handle, a continuation of my SBC fighter series, out in Feb 08. But there are some novellas and reissues out along the way, too.
I'm currently working on the next L.L.Foster book, and that should be out in January 09. (That date *just* got changed from Dec 08)
Thanks, Lori!
Be sure to visit Lori's L.L. Foster website and her Lori Foster website!
And, as an added bonus, for anyone who posts with a question to Lori or about her books here, I'll put your name into a drawing for a $5.00 Barnes and Noble giftcard! I'll draw the one lucky winner Sunday night.

will there be any other genre u will try after urban? love allyour hot contemp books
kim h - 8:38 PM

Hi Lori,
I absolutely love your brand of contemporary novels. You got me hooked and craving for more. I never knew that you had branched out into Urban Fantasy.
How do you go about inventing a character? Do you discuss many characters with your family or friends?
Best of luck in everything you do. - 11:06 PM
- Mahaira said...
After creating lots of characters and books, has there been any character/situation/dialogue that has stuck with you? What do you do when this sort of thing happens?
- danetteb said...
Hi Lori,
Servant sounds like an appealing read. I was wondering if you helped with the cover design? It has one of those faces that get stuck in our head.
Hugs, Danette - 1:29 AM
- Lori Foster said...
Hi Kim! Thanks. I'll be sticking with romance for sure. And you know, maybe after I get a backlist of urban fantasy/horror, I'd like to try children's books. :-D We'll see!
Mahaira, hello! Thanks for dropping by.
I'm not entirely sure HOW I create characters, but nope, I don't discuss them much with my family. We've always go so much going on in the Foster household that my writing is only a very small part of it. ;-)
My husband usually knows what I'm working on, as in "another fighter book," the next in "the scary series." That kind of thing. But we do get indepth with the characterization.
I guess characters just sort of show up for me. Suddenly they're there in my brain, and little by little, their story comes to me, and then I write it. LOL
I've never figured out how it all works, but luckily, it does!
Lori - 4:20 AM
- Lori Foster said...
Hi Danette!
Publishers have a whole department of people who work on and design the covers. I'm lucky enough that I get cover approval, and every so often I make a request for a change. But mostly I trust them to do what they do.
My only issue with Gaby's portrayal on the cover was her boobs. She's stacked, and in my book, she's sooooo NOT! LOL
But hey, my boys liked the cover and they read more of that kind of thing than I do, and they reminded me how chesty Laura Croft is, so... I trust readers to figure it out on their own. ;-)
Mahaira - I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you mean, were there characters who were unforgettable? Or do you mean situations where I got stuck and couldn't write? Sorry. Maybe I need more coffee this morning. LOL
Lori - 4:23 AM
- Pam said...
Lori, success to you with this new series.
Will Gaby be featured in all 5 books you have planned, or will each successive book feature a different H/h? - 6:14 AM
At some point will Morty be more hero like? I mean for some reason I feel that he has great potential for being a bigger help to Gaby than he has already. Am I even close?..lol
Geez I guess I feel closer to Mort than I thought...gave him the nick name Morty...LMBO
- Lori Foster said...
Hi Pam. This series is all about Gaby. When I finish with it, I'll create new people and start over again!
LOL. Leann, I'm glad you like Mort/Morty -I think I called him both in the book, so no problem. I liked him too. He grew on me. At this point, I'm not sure what will happen with him. You know how I write - I just make it up as I go along. ;-)
Lori - 7:42 AM
- ruth said...
Your interview was interesting and informative. Love that striking cover. Did you ever realize how multi-talented a writer you were. Ilook forward to your series. Congrats on this new release.
- Maureen said...
Your fighter series is about Extreme Fighting, isn't it? Are you a fan and that's how you came up with the idea or was it another way?
- diane said...
Am interested in this new concept that you created. How unique and special. What brought on this inspiration for the new series. ALl the best and much success.
- acdaisy95 said...
Hi Lori, I am a fan of reading your books, which is how I first got into reading more romance novels.
What started you to write in Urban Fantasy?
Congrats on your new release! - 1:05 PM
- anne said...
This new series sounds appealing and intriguing. I am certainly going to be reading this new book. How does your imagination have the ability to write such diverse books. Best wishes on the series.
- Lori Foster said...
Ruth, bless you! Multi-talented? Moi? I'm blushing. Thank you so much!
Hi Maureen! Oh boy, am I ever a fan! I'm a HUGE fan of the UFC and Pride. I'll be going to my second live competition on the 20th. Can't wait. It's just incredible. My absolute favorite sport ever!
Diane, do you mean the urban fantasy/horror series? You know, I have no idea where this stuff comes from. It's just sort of in my head. And because of that, I have to write it to get it semi-out of my head. LOL. I've always been a big fan of horror movies, so that's probably where the kernel of it all began. :-)
acdaisy and Anne, I really don't know the answers to those questions. Writing for me is just a part of me, like how I talk and what I like to wear. It's just me. I can't say how or why it's there, or how I know to use it.
I've never really analyzed it much - probably because I'm always too busy writing. LOL
I love what I do, and I love the fact that I got established enough in romance that I could try something new. It's exciting!
Some day I'd also like to try straight horror - like the really gruesome stuff, and maybe kids' books too, for pre-schoolers.
I have a million ideas of things I want to do. I'm mega-lucky that I've already gotten to do some of them!
Lori - 3:11 PM
- Judy F said...
hey girlie. Hope you are staying warm. Big change from Monday huh???
I can't wait to start Servant though it scares me some. LOL - 4:18 PM
- Lori Foster said...
Hey Judy! How ya doing? Yeah, it's one heck of a temp change! Geez Louise! But I've been in all day, so it hasn't bothered me much.
Sure is pretty, even if it's chilly!
Lori - 5:51 PM
- RachaelfromNJ said...
Hi Lori!
If you had to hook someone into buying your new book with just three sentences, what would you say to make them want to buy it? - 7:43 PM
- Lori Foster said...
Oh geez, Rachel! That's really, really tough. I don't handsell my books, and never have. It's too humbling. LOL.
If someone ASKED, I think I'd tell them that if they're familiar with my romances, they'll like the hero in this series, that the chemistry and dialogue is similar, and that so far I've been told the pacing is fast, so it goes quickly. LOL
I don't know if that's helpful or not, but it's the best I can come up with!
Lori - 4:49 AM
- RachaelfromNJ said...
That's good Lori! Thanks!
- Cathy said...
Love the new L.L website, and Servant definitely has me intrigued. Is the horror storyline suspense scary or blood and guts scary?
- tam said...
I love your Lori Foster books, I know I'll love this too!

Hey there RRR! It's been a bit since I last brought you a tutorial, and I finally finished one that I had been working on, but had gotten stuck on. Thanks to Amerk as well as DiamondandPlatinum for their assistance in fixing my issue.
Anyways on to the actual event! This is a bounty system, as well as a banking system to be included with it. This idea was inspired by Earthbound, where you do not receive money from enemies, instead your dad adds it to your bank account after each fight and you can pull it out with an ATM.
The first thing you need to do is the easy part. First make each of your enemies immortal. Yes, every single one of them.
You can do this by right clicking the picture of the enemy in the troops tab and clicking Immortal.
Then you need to set up event pages within the troops for every enemy. The span for each of these pages need to be 'Battle' so it only triggers once. The trigger needs to be 'Enemy HP 1% or less', finally you will set two simple events; the first will set your enemy to incapacitated, which will allow them to be killed despite being immortal.
Next you will need to make a variable, I simply called mine 'Money'. You will set this variable to increase by a set amount per monster, basically this is the amount of money the monster will drop when defeated. You must repeat this process for each monster and it has to be on it's own event page, and it must be done for every troop. This is where the medium amount of work comes in. While it is a simple enough event it can take time.
The Troop Event
The next step is slightly harder and you may consider setting this in a common event if you have multiple banks. First, you are going to need 3 more variables, I called mine 'gold', 'add', and 'withdraw', each of these should make sense for their purpose. The next step in the event is to set up a choice, do you want to add money, withdraw it, or nothing? (You can also add an option to check balance, I'll post how to do that as well.) If they choose to add you need to use your first variable 'gold' to add their current gold to a variable. You can do this by setting the variable to the amount of gold they have, you can find this located under 'other' at the bottom of the variable page. Then you will show a text displaying how much gold they have by using /v[#]g, where the # is the number of the 'gold' variable. It should show up like this. "You have 1100g."
Before the next step you'll want to create a label, I called mine 'add' for simplicity, this will allow you to loop the event easily based on the information added next. Next you will ask them how much they want to add by bringing up an 'enter number' choice, I used 9 digits as that is the max amount of digits for the gold by default. You will have this number entered add to the 'add' variable. After that you will create a conditional branch that will check to see if the variable for 'add' is higher than the variable for 'gold' if it is, you will tell them they do not have that much and then jump to label: add, this is why we created it earlier. For the next part, if they put in a number that is lower than 'gold' you will then add the amount of 'add' to 'money' with another variable set. Finally you will tell them how much money they have stored by using /v[#] with the # being the number of the 'money' variable.
I understand this is a bit confusing, but do not worry, I will have a screen shot showing all of this at the bottom of this huge amount of text.
Next we are going to do a withdraw of money stored. First create another label, call this one withdraw, it works just like the one for add. For this you will show them how much money they have stored by using /v[#] where # is the number of the variable for money. You will then ask them how much they would like to withdraw, by giving them a number choice just like for 'add' only this time you obviously want to set the number to the variable for 'withdraw'. Next you will make a conditional branch checking if 'withdraw' is higher than 'money' if it is you will jump back to the label for withdraw. If it is not than you will set the variable for 'money' to subtract the variable for 'withdraw'. You will then add to gold by variable 'withdraw'. Finally you will display the remaining amount of 'money' variable by using the same /v[#] as above.
Bank Event
Finally I will show you how to do a display, this is actually really simple, and I did not include it in the event SS. If they choose to 'check balance' simply have a text that says 'your current balance is /v[#], where # is the number of the variable for 'money'. Simple, yes?
Ok, I realize that was a bit of a long text, but I hope it was useful for you! If you have an questions, please feel free to ask!
A quick note: You can ignore the first part of this tutorial involving the troops and just use the secondary part to have just a banking event with normal gold drops.
I support these projects! -------------

Tess Hedrick is a Multimedia Journalist for KTVO.
OTTUMWA, IOWA -- The Ottumwa City Council will be meeting Tuesday night and re-zoning is on the agenda.
The 5.5 acre site located in the 1,800 block of West 2nd St. just East of Fairview Ave. may soon be the site of seven mini-storage buildings.
The proposed site plans, as with any proposed request for rezone, have to be compared with all other possible permitted uses within the zoning classification.
"We've had two public hearings to date and significant public outreach and we've received no public opposition," said Nick Klimek, City Planner.
"I just think it's a good development. It will provide a needed use for people to be able to store things without having to drive too far. It'll be very convenient for city people," said Joe Helfenberger, Ottumwa City Administrator.
Construction would begin this year and be finished in 2018.
Helfenberger said this would add to the city's tax space.
The City Council will be voting on its approval Tuesday night.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and, therefore, Schwarzkopf's commander, said the general's leadership during the war inspired the nation.
" 'Stormin' Norman' led the coalition forces to victory, ejecting the Iraqi Army from Kuwait and restoring the rightful government," Powell said in a statement. "His leadership not only inspired his troops, but also inspired the nation. He was a good friend of mine, a close buddy. I will miss him."
Schwarzkopf, a highly decorated Vietnam War veteran, ushered in a new era for the U.S. military, whose exploits were broadcast live around the clock.
After the war, he was featured in his desert fatigues on the cover of nearly every major American magazine, and he joined thousands of troops for a welcome-home ticker tape parade in New York City.
England's Queen Elizabeth II made him an honorary knight, and he received a standing ovation from Congress upon his return to the United States.
Former President George H.W. Bush, who is hospitalized, said the general "epitomized the 'duty, service, country' creed that has defended our freedom and seen this great nation through our most trying international crises."
"More than that, he was a good and decent man -- and a dear friend," Bush said in a statement released by his office.
While Schwarzkopf's leadership was heralded, critics raised questions about the decision to quickly end the ground war in Iraq and leave Hussein in power.
Schwarzkopf was heavily criticized in the Thomas E. Ricks book "The Generals: American Military Command from World War II to Today" for allowing Iraq to use helicopters in no-fly zones established after the war. Iraq used the helicopters to put down a Shiite uprising that had been openly encouraged by the United States.
Schwarzkopf told CNN's Larry King in a September 1992 interview that the preferred plan with Iraq was to avoid ever having to invade.

I have a hierarchy like this:
And a repository for DummyBase:Code:@NodeEntity public class DummyBase { @GraphId Long id; public Long getId() { return id; } } public class DummySub extends DummyBase {}
When I persist an instance of DummySub, I can get it back by its id:Code:public interface DummyBaseRepository extends GraphRepository<DummyBase> {}
When I run the application once again and just try to get persisted entity by its known id, its type is DummyBase:Code:DummySub dummySub = new DummySub().persist(); Long id = dummySub.getId(); DummyBase dummyBase = dummyBaseRepo.findOne(id); System.out.printf("%d %s\n", id, dummyBase.getClass().getName()); // it says: "123 DummySub"
I've also checked the database with Neoclipse and the type of that entity was DummySub, so it looks like problem is related with type mapping logic. I've also debugged it a little and it appeared that type alias is read correctly (the class name is DummySub), but then its base is used instead because Neo4jMappingContext::getPersistentEntity returns null (it only has DummyBase within its persistentEntities).Code:Long id = 123; // correct id here DummyBase dummyBase = dummyBaseRepo.findOne(id); System.out.printf("%s\n", dummyBase.getClass().getName()); // it now says: "DummyBase"
It works fine within single application run/single application context, so the only way to reproduce it is to have 2 separate contexts both having the same configuration (one for writing and one for reading). I didn't manage to get 2 contexts work (after the first one is created, the second one fails to resolve dependencies), so I can only reproduce it in 2 application runs.
I believe that workaround here is to persist at least one instance of each subclass in hierarchy on every application run, so that these types appear in persistentEntities and then resolved.
Is this a bug?

True Romance
Dir: Tony Scott, 1993. Starring: Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken. Action.
True Romance is the story of a young down-on-their-luck couple who comes across a suitcase full of cocaine and makes their way across America to sell it in Hollywood. As they do so a colorful group of cops and criminals hunt them down.
Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) wrote the film with un-credited voiceover by his Pulp Fiction co-author, Roger Avery (Killing Zoe). As with all of Tarantino's scripts, the story is filled with unique characters, explosive action, and very memorable dialogue.

2. | america's next top model | ||
-Reality show hosted by African American supermodel Tyra Banks which airs on UPN where females aged 17-30 audition for a chance to be a model and get a contract with make-up company CoverGirl.
-Contestants audition throughout several cities like American Idol and based on looks and some tests like how they walk, some are selected to the show. -Final contestants live together for a couple months and travel to places, sometimes internationally to perform model shoots which each have some special stipulation ie you have to pose with a tarantula on you, you have to pose nude. -Each week the contestants pictures taken that week are judged and usually one person is eliminated who "doesn't seem to be model material." -Goes by the term "cycle" instead of "season" like most TV shows. -Previous winners so far have been... Cycle 1:Adrienne Curry Cycle 2:Yoanna House Cycle 3:Eva Pigford Cycle 4:Naima mora Ex. Some of the judges on America's Next Top Model are even more blunt about what they think of the would-be model contestants than Simon Cowell is with singer would-bes on American Idol.
1. | america's next top model | ||
The only show on TV where you can watch skeleton's FIGHT.
The only healthy, voluptuous person on that show, ironically, happens to be Tyra Banks! I love America's next Top Model but I think Tyra should retire it and continue with her talk show.
3. | america's next top model | ||
A reality TV show where women compete for a career in the modeling industry.
Hosted by Tyra Banks, America's next top model premiered in May of 2003. And we are all very sorry... because the premiere of this show is proof that having absolutely no real skill can get you to the "top". Hence "america's next top model". But your only at the top until the next season starts a few months later. america's next top model characters:
Benny Ninja: Give me a calender style pose!!! Talentless model: *thinks for a second* *Makes a pose she thought up of in that instance* Benny Ninja: FANTASTIC! YOU REALLY SHOWED ME YOUR BONE STRUCTURE THERE, AND THE WAY YOU LET THE LIGHT HIT YOU WAS PRETTY MUCH AMAZING. Talentless model: Uhh... yeah thats what I meant to do. Thank you! Benny Ninja: Now let's try Catalogue! |
4. | america's next top model | ||
The best reality tv show ever! Hosted by (tyra banks) I wonder who's gonna be eliminated next from america's next top model...
5. | America's next top model | ||
Another lame reality show in which whiny, unattractive, anorexic, drama queens compete with each other to be America's Next Top Model....for the few months. They constantly bitch and complain about what they have to do for photo shoots and frequently fight amongst themselves for no reason at all. In addition, very few of these girls are even attractive. Ironically the few cute girls on the show are always the ones that get kicked off.
The winner of ANTM never really actually becomes a "top model", they get some publicity for a few months, then they quickly fade into oblivion. Q: Wow another season of America's next top model, whatever happened to whats her name who won last season?
A: She's a fat coke head now Again, the cutest girl left on ANTM got kicked off last night; I guess she wasn't skinny enough. Last night on ANTM, two girls were fighting over a Saltine and one ended up having a nervous breakdown. |
6. | america's next top model | ||
A good show, that it's very repetitive. A lot of hoochie-mamas trying to be models when they can't even do their little turn on the cat walk, yeah on the cat walk they can't even do their little turns on the cat walk. They think their too sexy for their cats, too sexy for their cats, so sexy it hurts. ooh yeah, good show by the way, I watch it, you got a problem? I like how Tyra Banks tried to be all Oprahish when she yelled at that crack-head, ghetto hoochie of Tiffany, like she cares, ha!
same thing over and over:"Congratulations, you are now one step closer towards becoming America's next top model." what will you do, coke or pepsi? America's next top model winners:
1st year winner: Adrian, now too fat to model,was on Surreal lif eand now fucks Peter Brady. 2nd year winner: joanna or Johanna, I thought she was pale, I don't know if she models still.(Mercedez should have won, she has Lupus for god's sakes, naw, Shandy should have won, but she fucked this Italian dude, and turned into shit. 3rd year: Eva pigford,Pig for what? for that ho, oh hell no! 4th year: Go Naima, its your Bithday!She has a twin. 5th year:I hate that bitch Lisa, and that bitch Kim is so arrogant and so Lesbian,Nicole too pale. My prediction: Bre and Nik, showdown, winner:? they always kick out the "fat" models. |

But this would imply that you would still need minor training on escapes.
In self defense, martial arts training can some times be of little use because you will become conditioned to a specific pattern of attack, and untrained assailants will not respond the same way. They will use methods deemed incorrect under your stand up fighting. Bruce Lee even said that untrained attackers can be unpredictable and difficult to respond to even for trained martial artists.
1. Absolutely. I'm glad to see that. I appreciate in these litigious times that it is difficult achieve though
2. Exactly. Minor training on escapes. Rather than the main focus. That can be covered in a few sessions max, and then applied subsequently. I'm glad that we seem to be arriving at a consensus that extensive ground skills have as much place in contacts with multiples or generally in the real world as legs on a snake.
3. Bruce said... Yeah, it's one of Murphy's laws of Combat, and a central tenet of what wise ones from Sun Tzu to Mao have had to say about fighting.
You make the good point that the people one has to defend oneself against in the real world are unlikely to be marital artists. On the other hand, as we all know, they are likely to be intoxicated with drugs and/or alcohol, mentally unstable, too high on adrenaline, anger, fear or lust. And not wearing a gi, either, unless you gatecrashed a fancy dress party. That both complicates and simplifies matters.
All this talk of hurting people made me look up the local MA classes. Interestingly, the local muay thai class has a compulsory run at the start. It's not just for the fitness, now is it?
I would like to state that I for one was never questioning the legitmacy of EXTENSIVE BJJ skills in self defense. That is akin to suicide. But I would also say that a karate-ka or gung fu fighter is also at as much a disadvantage as the Jiu Jitsu expert in a self defense situation. Many arts rely on movements from opponents that do not happen naturally, and only occur with in the art. In term of self defense, I would say "self defense" is an art in and of itself. But then one who is good at defending themselves would be weak in a sport enviroment, where the wrestler, jiu jitsu, or judo (to a lesser extent) fighter will be able to apply his skills without fear of outside intereference. That same can go for striker of course. On the ground they do not have to fear groin or eye destruction. They can work on defending strikes and submission attempts instead of guarding those AND foul tactics.

Marriam Teia pointed to a bag of grain near the doorway of her home, a small inlet in the caves of the Nuba mountains.
"This is the last sack for the kids," she said.
When it runs out, she said, there will be nothing left.
Article Photos
Ryan Boyette
Marriam, along with an estimated 100,000 others, have fled their homes in the volatile border region of South Kordofan and sought shelter in the rocky folds of the nearby mountains.
Fighting between the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLA-N) and the Sudan Armed Forces increases. The Sudan government continues scorched-earth tactics across South Kordofan forcing citizens of the region from their lands.
Abandoning farms, livestock and goods, their new home offers foul water, no crops and diminishing hope.
Fact Box
Editor's note: Ryan Boyette, formerly of Boca Grande, continues to monitor to civil war in Sudan at great personal peril. He sends information as he is able. The Gasparilla Gazette is publishing all communication from Boyette.
Our newest video, "A Hidden Hunger: Life in the Caves of the Nuba Mountains" exposes a population on the verge of starvation.
Eighty percent of households in the Nuba mountains survive on one meal per day, according to an evaluation by an independent NGO. That number is up from zero percent just two years prior and malnourishment among children is soaring.
In September, Dr. Raphael Veicht with German Emergency Doctors, noted a spike in severely malnourished children arriving at this clinic in the Nuba Mountains.
"I haven't seen any food aid recently," he said. "There's no aid from anyone, from any UN agency or any foreign government."
NGOs working in the region say the humanitarian crisis is the direct result of broken promises from the Sudan government. The Tripartite Humanitarian Agreement, signed Aug. 4 by the United Nations, African Union and League of Arab States, assured the release of food aid to South Kordofan.
Months later, relief remains nonexistent.
Khartoum denies it is withholding aid, but parties outside the government say otherwise.
Amor Almagro, a spokesperson for the World Food Programme, told the Bureau of Investigative Journalism earlier this month that, "access has not been granted for us to carry out an assessment and deliver much needed food assistance"
Frequent bombing by the Sudan government continues to threaten civilian safety. Thirty-three bombs fell in South Kordofan in October.
Attacks on the ground are also a concern for citizens as the SAF burns villages as part of its violent campaign against areas under Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North control.
For many, the journey to Yida refugee camp in South Sudan in a daunting choice. With more than 65,000 people inhabiting a camp intended for 15,000, living conditions are poor, food stocks low and the long walk there is dangerous.
Life in the mountains is not a solution for displaced people, however. Cave life is unsustainable, especially without land to harvest or hope for food aid. Violence surrounds the mountains but their home villages are destroyed or in too dangerous a region to which to return.
Marriam Teia said not only does she have no way to get to Yida, but its a place she's never been before - far from her home in Tess, a village recently burned by the SAF.
"I don't know where to put my heart," she said. "I'm in the middle. I want to go home."

About Us
TheSportsWatchers.com brings you sports news, opinion and analysis 24/7. Unlike the other sports websites and blogs out there, we aim to bring you a different perspective, from intelligent, observant creative young minds, who just so happen to think the world revolves around sports.
If your thing is the NFL, we have you covered. Throughout the professional football season, TheSportsWatchers.com brings you daily news and information regarding the top teams and players in the National Football League. From the NFC East to the AFC West, we cover the hottest issues dealing with coaches, strategies, injuries and playoff pushes, and we do it with a fervor that few sites can attest to.
Of course, college football takes a backseat to know one. We know not everybody has time to keep up with the ever-changing landscape that is the NCAA football, so we do our best to keep you in the loop. Whether you need a deeper examination of the AP Top 25 Poll, or if you think the Coaches Top 25 just doesn't make sense one particular week, we have you covered from season start to season's end. We will even help you out with those college football bets you love to make without weekly Friday predictions and projections of college football's biggest games.
If football is on your mind, you're probably a fan of fantasy football as well, and TheSportsWatchers.com is all over it. We're so over it, that we even have separate site for all of our daily fantasy football content. From the beginning of summer to the end of the football season, we take a deep dive into fantasy football projections, statistics, metrics and predictions. We do our best to make sure you know who to start and who to sit each and every week of the NFL season, and we encourage you to take part in the conversation.
Basketball is no second-hand sport at TheSportsWatchers.com either. From NBA free agency and college recruiting to the Final Four and the NBA Finals, we run the gambit in basketball news and coverage. We give the professionals like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James their just criticism, and we balance it out with overwhelming critiques of collegiate ballers' games and potential.
TheSportsWatchers.com also covers a broad range of other sports. Baseball is still the predominant summer sport in our minds, while Hockey is something we would like to see grow both on our site and in the real world. And if something like the World Cup, The Masters, Wimbledon or the Olympics should arise, you can bet that TheSportsWatchers.com will be all over it, covering all aspects of the sports world, with the latest news, analysis and opinion on a 24/7 basis.
Yours Truly,

Wow! You'll love the pearllunar ones, for sure. I've been very happy with all their earrings. And the Tahitians look smashing - very colorful. I can't wait to see your own photos. They're Faboo!
The World Is My Oyster!
And I just saw your bowling ball sized Tahitian!!! AMAZING!!! I can't WAIT to see pics of that!
It will be strung in the center with two strands of faceted black spinels coming out of it. <sigh> Wish I weren't so busy or I'd finish it tonight.
The World Is My Oyster!
Wow, very lovely choices, both of you! I LOVE spinels! And Tahitians! And Freshies! Hummm, guess there's not much in the way of gems and pearls I don't love!
I am waiting for these!
Girl gone wild!
The World Is My Oyster!
All very terrific, those bead-nuked baroques, huge!
Yesterday I finally ordered 2 strands of the PP Tahitians, obviously I am not a good speed shopper like the rest of you--sorry, no photos as yet. I decided on the button shape, intending to make some tin cups. Opted for free shipping, so they won't be here until after Mom's day. Natalie kindly helped me decide between 10 or so different strands, the lustre is great and interesting colors, lots of peacock, so I will post photos later.
Congratulations, Ladies,you did pick beautiful pearls, each one of You!
Was going to add--if anyone is not already on the mailing list for the various vendor websites, now is a great time to sign up!
These should be arriving tomorrow, I'm very excited, I hope they match some pearl bracelets I've already made. Will post own photos of pearls when they arrive, weather permitting (it's been raining forever now...)
Pattye, what sites would you recommend we sign up on? I know I'm on PP and Pearl Outlet but am not sure what other sites PG'ers recommend?
I'm waiting for the PP AAA graduated Akoya special (hope this image comes through). I attended a Gellner trunk show in my town over the weekend which I had really been looking forward to. There were pretty things there, but the prices were staggering. (Tahitian strands in the $20,000 range). Had my eye on the PP necklace all along, and after I got home from the show I ordered it. I think the size/graduation of the pearls is just right.

Hi Julie,
Here's a few others that allow you to request email notice of specials, etc-- Pearls of Joy, Pure Pearls, Museum Way Pearls--I'm sure there are others--anytime you see website info following a post you might want to check it out. (I don't have that option at Etsy.) I apologize to those I can't think of right off--I will come back and add any I find later.

It's been so warm here today, I am almost giddy with excitement. For my American friends, it was still 54F at 8:00 p.m. this evening. That is balmy!
I'm sure the mud hole will dry up quickly if there is little rain and some nice winds. It looks like a wonderful spot.

Dining within the best Chinese and continental restaurants could be a nice pleasure. each luxury hotel within the town includes a Chinese Restaurant, whereas most of the markets in south Delhi have a medium budget Chinese eatery. the recognition of Chinese cuisines may be gauged by the innumerable Chinese quick food retailers of the meals on wheels found everywhere within the town.
For gourmets, Delhi is synonymous with Mughlai and Frontier Cuisines. One will still feel the stamp of the Mughals within the big selection of scrumptious Mughlai cuisines that previous Delhi should provide.South Indian food is another favorite, enjoyed the simplest at specialty south Indian restaurants. These restaurants additionally provide glorious non vegetarian cuisines from south India.
Keeping pace with the changing face of the town are the growing variety of quick food retailers, that serve an outsized form of cuisines.
A delightful spot providing a variety of Indian cuisines are the food stalls at Dilli Haat. the total of Delhi is peppered with varied street aspect stalls selling mouth watering native eateries like Chats, dahi bhallas and delicious kulfis that are things to savor. All looking markets in Delhi are famous for Indian street food like golgappas, alu tikkis and different culinary delights. together with the universal taste, are the hotels that serve kebab and biryanis, retaining the first flavor of India.

I have a Roland/Boss GT3, which I use to get various distortion sounds. I like the sound for the most part, but I find that distorted sounds seem very ... "muddy" I guess would be the best way to describe it. Major chords, 7ths, etc, sound fine, or at least much better. Is there some common setting that can help clean up the sound at bit? What would be the most likely causes of this behaviour?
Quite possibly one of the best ways to remove muddiness from your overdriven tone (regardless of what chords you play) is through the use of a compressor. If you don't know what one of those is, check out this question. If you think you know what one is, you probably don't, and you should check out this question =D. I kid. In all seriousness though--JFET based and digital overdrive pedals will do this. If using a compressor in front of (or behind, some players like that too) the overdrive--and using it correctly--doesn't work, then consider reducing the amount of distortion on your overdrive or changing some parameters on how you equalize the tone pre and post drive. Before I describe that a little more in depth, let me give you a little background on the way a TS808 clone (which is nearly every mass market overdrive since the TS hit the market) works. Inside your nifty little stompbox you likely have little electrical components called JFETs. These little guys are the next best thing for overdriving circuits in a natural way behind tube amps. Some people would even say that JFET's do it better, and there are several boutique and mass market JFET based overdrives on the market that sound phenomenal--tube like even. However, one thing that these JFET's won't do that a tube amp will is compress at higher gain settings--you need some other heavy duty components in the mix to acquire that property. So, lots of folks build what's known as clipping circuits into their overdrive designs. These circuits come in two applicable flavors: symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping, and they both lend unique dynamics to the overdrive. Asymmetrical clipping generates both even and odd order harmonics, and skews more towards even order the harder you clip. This results in a natural, smoother compressed sound with little to no intermodulation distortion--and sounds much like the push/pull dynamics of a tube based amplifier. Symmetrical clipping tends to emphasize the odd order harmonics and sounds harsher due to intermodulation distortion. The original TS808 used (and newer reissues still use I believe) symmetrical clipping. Now, with all that history, if your GT-3 enables you to configure any of these parameters on your overdrive patch, you should play with them. If you want cleaner sounding overdriven tone then consider an asymmetrical overdrive or tossing a compressor in your chain (software or hardware). Also, if you have your amplifier gained out any whatsoever, you should remix the amplifier distortion and the stompbox distortion. It took me a month or two to find the proper overdrive mix on my rig such that my Orange didn't sound like a muffled, nasty, pissed off bass cabinet. Also know that all TS808 clones and most digital drives hike the middle frequencies. They do this for two reasons. First, bass frequencies sound blatty distorted--so most overdrives will cut those before they gain the signal. Second, high frequencies sound glassy and harsh when overdriven, and will sometimes get lost in the mix--so those are cut a little bit too pre-gain. All this results in a muddy mess. Here's neat piece of information that I learned from Paul Cochrane of the Tim/Timmy fame. If you can control your bass frequencies pre distortion, and your highs post distortion, you pretty much have all the control you will ever need to get very nice overdriven tones. You can roll back the bass to reduce the blattyness to your preference--sometimes called "tighter" bass response, and then increase the highs to cover the mid bump and get a nice fat creamy awesome overdriven tone. Or jack the highs even more to cut through the mix during a solo. Very few newer boutique and mass market overdrives take advantage of this mostly because they are going for the TS808 vibe--which is dirt cheap and easy as pie to build. Anyway, hope this helps. My overdrive tone quest has taken me years to arrive at a sound I'm happy with, but I'm still not even close to being done :D. References & Trivia: |
In my experience, this is a problem inherent in heavy distortion. I'd suggest one of two things:
If these don't work:
I have been through maybe 25 or 30 different distortion boxes in my life trying to find the one that has the 'perfect' sound for me, and to be fair, it doesn't exist :-) In saying that, I have managed to find ways to make the sound work. On something like the GT3 I find you can reduce muddiness a lot by scooping out more mid and low than you might expect before you get to the distortion stage and then roll off a little bit of the highs on the output if it sounds too harsh. Backing off on the drive for the distortion stage also works well to keep dynamic range as well as giving a warmer, less muddy sound. On my Line 6 (which is in the same market place as the GT3) most of the muddiness, if I want it, comes from the amp simulator - if running into a real amp make sure simulation is disabled. As already mentioned, choosing your chords correctly will have a big effect. If you are playing rhythm guitar you really won't need as much distortion, and you can allow a more middle-y sound. For lead you will usually want more clarity, but that can be through more or less distortion. |
I had this problem for a long time, after tweaking with it a bit I've finally got the perfect tone with no muddiness on my chords. You won't even need a compressor or EQ. I'm playing through a Boss Blues Driver and Fender Twin Reverb. Make sure you are using your bridge pick up, as the neck pick up won't be favorable for overdriven chords. Now, turn your volume on your guitar down from 10 to about 7-8. You will immediately notice a cleaner sound and that minor third won't get blurred out nearly as bad. Now, for the overdrive itself. For lead work, my gain is at about 2 o'clock/12. I turn it left to about 11 o'clock and I have completed the perfect overdriven sound for any chords(major,minor,7ths,sus,etc.) I can't speak for everyone, but with my particularly set up, this change produces no unwanted noise while still keeping the power and fullness that I look to achieve when using my overdrive. |

The Swiss Embassy in New Delhi is also representing Switzerland in Bhutan. Swiss Ambassador Dr. Linus von Castelmur presented his credentials to the King of Bhutan His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck on April 24, 2013. The presentation of credential ceremony was held at Tashichho Dzong in Thimphu. During an audience with the King following the credential ceremony the Swiss Ambassador discussed various bilateral issues with His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. Since the end of 1950s Switzerland has been active in Bhutan through its development assistance initiatives in the area of rural development and agriculture. More recently Switzerland has shifted its focus to the area of good governance and decentralization in order to support the democratization process in Bhutan.
A new Capacity Building Programme on Himalayan Glaciology was inaugurated on 02 April 2013 at Jawaharlal Nehru University in the presence of Swiss Ambassador Dr. Linus von Castelmur and Dr. T.

The Capacity Building Programme will contribute towards strengthening of institutional and human capacities in the field of glaciology and related areas.
The Capacity Building Programme on Himalayan Glaciology is conceptualized and supported by the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC) on behalf of Government of Switzerland and the Climate Change Programme of Department of Science and Technology (DST) on behalf of the Government of India.

The activities around the week of the Francophonie 2013 culminated with fanfare and Indian classical music at the Embassy of Switzerland on 30th March 2013. La Sirène, Harmonie Municipale du Grand-Saconnex, Genève, was established around the end of the 19th century in Geneva. The band consists of amateur musicians who play a contemporary and modern music repertoire on wind instruments like the clarinet, trombone and the trumpet. The musicians played on the lawns of the Swiss residence before a crowd of more than 300. This musical contribution from Switzerland was succeeded with the performance of one of the most promising flautists of India, Pt. Paras Nath and his band including Mridangam, Violin, Tabla and the Sitar. Paras Nath belongs to the traditional family of flautists and is trained since early childhood in the art of Hindustani classical music. Son and disciple of Pandit Amar Nath, he has performed widely in India and abroad, and has worked with international artists. All the guests and the musicians were welcomed warmly by the hosts of the evening H.E. Dr. Linus von Castelmur, Ambassador of Switzerland to India and Bhutan and Madame Françoise Gardies. A truly mesmerizing evening!
Frama India launched their products at the Swiss Embassy in New Delhi on March 21, 2013. The event was marked by a well-attended press conference which was inaugurated by the Ambassador, H.E.

The Q&A session allowed all present to have a better understanding of Frama's long-term goals and plans regarding the Indian market.
The dinner reception that evening, in the garden of the Embassy and attended by over a hundred people, was hosted by Ambassador von Castelmur. The Ambassador welcomed everyone and in his speech also outlined the importance of Swiss SMEs such as Frama. This was followed by Mr. Haug's speech underlining Frama's philosophy, ideals and expectations.
This formal address was closed with a short speech from the Executive Director of Frama India. There was a dramatic unveiling of the Frama product range on a stage that was quite eye-catching; everyone appreciated the fact that the entire Frama product range was on display.
The launch event was organized by Mr. Pascal Roesselet, Vice President Marketing & Sales Asia and the delicious Swiss buffet was organized by Mr. Michael Ryter, a chef from Switzerland. Each guest at the event left with a very positive impression, a big bag full of gifts and high in spirits!

Rosalyn Summerville Whitaker details her life-threatening experience with diabetes, which includes numerous surgeries over the past year, in her soon-to-be-released first book, Diabetes, Don't Lose Sight due out March 2013.
Stafford, TX (PRWEB) February 22, 2013
Rosalyn Summerville Whitaker, a Houston area trucking and logistics professional, has written a book detailing her life-threatening experience with diabetes, which included numerous surgeries. As a warning, and to motivate others to take the disease seriously, the book, titled, Diabetes, Don't Lose Sight is due out in March.
On Nov. 28, 2011 Whitaker's life took a drastic turn, and she learned how frightening diabetes could be. Although Whitaker was diagnosed 20 years prior, the diagnosis was not the problem, it was not heeding the doctor's advice and taking diabetes seriously. One of the complications of diabetes includes diabetic eye disease, which can cause severe vision loss or blindness. The National Eye Institute recommends that diabetics should have a routine eye exam even if there have been no symptoms of diabetic eye disease.
The IDA claims that 50 percent of people with diabetes are unaware that they have the disease. Whitaker hopes her cautionary tale helps others realize how living with the disease can be manageable. She attributes her success to having a strong faith in God. To order a copy please visit Whitaker's website, or call (832)646-0240.

About the company:
Whitaker lives outside Houston, Texas with her husband, where they own and operate transportation company Whitaker Enterprise Contractor, LLC, freight brokerage company Whitaker Logistics, LLC, both based in Stafford and Whitaker & Sons Logging in Arkadlephia, AR. Whitaker details her life-threatening experience with diabetes, which includes numerous surgeries over the past year, in her soon-to-be-released first book, Diabetes, Don't Lose Sight due out March 2013.
