Is there a reason why that viewpoint is out of line or anti-gun?
No, it's a valid question, but you're not going to like the answer.
Many of the very people you're hoping to filter out are the most adept at acing those sorts of tests. I've met a sociopath. They do a great job of appearing normal, happy, and friendly. He'd get a gun.
Meanwhile, a guy who listens to Nick Drake, reads Rod McKuen, and gets in a bit of a funk sometimes gets denied for borderline depression or whatever. Despite being an empathetic, moral person, he doesn't get a gun.
Then there's the question of who defines the criteria and limits. What exactly defines "too depressed" to pass? Is there an appeal for denials?
It simply won't do what's intended, and it will deny guns to folks from whom we've got nothing to fear.
In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

Kitchen Renovations
Over time, there are a few things that grow old and weary not only in your own body but also in your environment. One of the most popular projects that houses undergo is a change over or renovations. There are many people who will over time determine that they will need to change the environment in which they reside. Renovations are a whole process that needs to be undertaken with a lot of care. Whether it is simply renovation like that of changing the position of one of the shelves, counter cooking place etc, or major like changing the whole face of the kitchen, renovations need to be undertaken with a lot of care and patience.
What are some of the factors that should be considered before conducting renovations?
Usually, renovations are big jobs that will require some kind of financial input. As such, the first thing that you will need to ensure is that you have the necessary capital to finance the whole project. In determining how much you will need, you can simply ask for quotations from the contractors in your area. In case you determine that the job is small enough for you to handle yourself, then you will need to consider the cost of the materials and tools that you will need. In determining the average cost of the job, you will be able to plan yourself and ensure that you are not caught off guard or have to strain in the process of renovating. In addition, if the job is contracted out, then knowing what you can do to cut your costs will go a long way in ensuring that you get value for money.
Kitchen Renovation Time-Frames
The other factor that you will have to consider is time. Renovations are bound to take up some of your time to complete them. Before starting of the project, you should estimate the amount of time that it will take to complete the job. This will not only allow you to plan yourself, but also help you get the necessary permits in case you will need some. It will also give you a semblance of whether you are doing the job correctly and at the right pace. In most cases, people will plan their kitchen renovations to match with when they are at home so that they can not only monitor the progress of the job or help.
You will also need to decide whether to sub contract the job out or simply do it on your own. As a rule, it is much better to let a contractor do the job for you. In this way, you can always be assured of a quick and professional job. Additionally, if you get a contractor to do the job for you, you can always make your demands to ensure perfection.
These are just some of the issues that you will need to take into account before starting off your renovations. Kitchen renovations can be a fun time to bond with other members of the family especially if you are doing the job yourself.

Young picked up a knock to his knee last weekend and was left out of England's squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers as a result. The boss has also insisted Wayne Rooney will only be out for four weeks despite press speculation he could be missing for twice that length of time after picking up a nasty-looking injury against Fulham.
"In terms of injuries, it was nice of the FA to let everyone know Ashley Young is injured," said Sir Alex. "He's out after the injury last week. It's not serious.
"Centre-back is our main concern at the moment. Jonny Evans played on Wednesday [against Tottenham at Under-21 level] and came through fine. He's the strongest option we've got.
"Phil Jones has done some training but isn't ready yet. Rio Ferdinand's in the same boat. At least we have one centre-back available, which is an improvement. It allows us to put Michael Carrick back in midfield.
"Wayne's out for four weeks. It's nothing serious on the actual gash - it's a bad one but it was treated carefully very quickly. We don't expect any complications from it. I think he'll be back in four weeks. The fact it's a gash and not a muscle or joint injury means he can do a lot of work in the gymnasium. We're not too bad with that."

I was just introduced to Stratovarius not long ago from a friend. My friend showed me the song I'm Still Alive. I thought it was ok, and decided to investigate Stratovarius a little more. I then heard Speed of Light, and I also thought that song was ok. So I decided to buy my first Strato album. I headed down to the store, and only found elements pt 2, so I said "what the heck" and gave it a try. This is a mediocre album at best. It has some enjoyable tracks such as the album opener, I Walk to my Own Song, and I'm Still Alive. However, this album is just boring for the most part. This band has so much potential. Kotipelto can sing pretty good when he is in key, and Tolki is a good guitarist, but the songwriting is not good. This album is full of dumb lyrics. "Mr Mean you don't know Beans"-enough said. Don't get me wrong, this is an enjoyable album, but it isn't anything special. I rate this album 2.5 stars, but I'll use my rounding skills that I learned in 3rd grade and give it a 3.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This record is a great improvment over Elements pt1, it has a very good production and good songs overall. Its a shame, Strato used to be my favorite band but in the last 5 years it has go down to the 5th or 6th place in my list (of course X Japan is the best band ever!), all this because of Timo Tolkki leader of the band's childish attitude; Ive heard 3 members will leave the band and i wish the best for them, and the remaining member too, but Timo you can go to hell for screwing one of the most promising bands in metal.Now lets go to the review:ALPHA & OMEGA (3,5): I dont mind much about this song,butits ok, i still think Elements should have been only 1 album so all the fillers will get dumped and have the best Strato album, but its done already, so just wait til next record.I WALK TO MY OWN SONG (5,0): First single, similar to Eagleheart, Save our Souls and Hunting High and Low.I'M STILL ALIVE (5,0): Very Good song, sounds a lot like old Strato, will please old fans.SEASON OF FAITH'S PERFECTION (4,5): Reminds me of Visions era ballads, nice effort.AWAKEN THE GIANT (3.0): Boring and overrated, just like Soul Of A Vagabond, this is what u call boring,extremely slow paced metal.KNOW THE DIFFERENCE (4,8): I like the keyboards here, like Find your own voice; i dont know why ppl complain about Koti singing high notes, it doesnt sound that bad.LUMINOUS (4,8): I dont know whats in ppl heads, this is a very good song, just what Strato needs which is exploring new sounds without screwing up, i must say Tolkki did a good job with this song; hope he's as good in attitude as he is writing songs.DREAMWEAVER (4,5): Heavy song, its ok.LIBERTY (5,0): Nice ending for a nice album, very good song not like A Drop in the Ocean which is Celestial Dream pt2Overall rating (4,5)
At times it can truly be said that Stratovarius is nothing if not inconsistent. Since vocalist Timo Kotipelto joined the band in 1995 their craft has matured and earned them a place atop the power metal legions – and with good reason, as their best material is uplifting, atmospheric, and scalding in it's display of emotion and instrumentation. On the not-so-bright side of things, each album has been severely bogged down by very '*off* day' songs, serving as joyrides through ultra generic songwriting and recycled Euro-metal melodies. Dismaying as it is to say, Elements, Pt. 2 showcases itself as the best example of this imbalance in a Stratovarius album in years, in an utterly glaring way. To make things worse, on past Strato albums the aforementioned Kotipelto's voice could at least carry one through the filler with some entertainment with it's feel-based precision, and tasteful technique… – whereas, the complete opposite proves all too prelevant in Elements, Pt. 2. The opening song, Alpha & Omega starts out with a decidedly non-traditional slow speed, and some interesting keyboard atmospheres, both of which seem exciting, at least, until the chorus breaks in. Timo Kotipelto has apparently sold his vocal spirit to the helium demon in exchange for a higher vocal range, and the results are disasterous – especially when utilizing the old argon gasses on a chorus melody as uninteresting as the one in the opening song. This is Stratovarius by the numbers, and forgetting to divide. And yet Alpha & Omega is one of the best songs on the album, because of the few things it does do right. Blithering frustration is imminent, but nothing compared to the music ahead.The album's first single, I Walk To My Own Song, is next, and could be considered one of the 'standouts' on Elements 2 as well – mainly thanks to the smoking solo section by guitarist Timo Tolkki that jumps out and commands the metal horns be thrown. But mashed on either side of the burst of quality is the band playing by an average of 1/3 of their own rules and mixing every piece of bland one usually expects from a 'single' into the song, topped off by Kotipelto's strep-throat wailing. I'm Still Alive follows, opening with a great riff..and then morphing into a [insert random fast Stratovarius song here] part 2, but without the magic touch. Hopes grow high that this band could still pull off being inspirational with the fast-power-metal-anthem motif, but unfortunately Kotipelto's helium induced vocals carrying bland choruses over predictable song structuring leave more than a mild disappointment. Seasons of Faith's Perfection continues the trend of a very promising beginning, but the band once again falls into one of their own niches – this time it being the Stratovarius-slow-song-machine if you will – and once again, this time around it fails to break through with any more then potential passion. The almost eerie keyboards and acoustic guitar work are excellent, and on the other side of the coin, the chorus is indistinguishable from any other standard Euro-metal ballad. The entire album continues at this unbearable, snail-in-molasses pace, delivering all-too predictable songs in every category (a few slow songs, the fun fast songs, the mid paced anthems, et al) with an infuriatingly teasing spoonful of shimmering good ideas scattered randomly on top – and don't forget about Kotipelto singing higher than he should and can, and losing his once great power. Lyrically Elements, Pt. 2 is Strato's standard odd mix of Christian and new age ideas, but on the positive, the Christian influence is bolder and even pokes through as inspirational once in a while, such as in Know the Difference, which quotes part of a popular prayer (if some prayer is to be contained in such a way), the Serenity prayer originally credited to Reinhold Niebuhr. Aside from instances in the same general field (which can also be found in Alpha & Omega), and an almost pretty good song in the beautifully atmospheric Luminous, there isn't much more truly memorable or exciting about Elements, Pt. 2. There are many things Stratovarius does well with their music, and generic is definitely the opposite and undoing of them all.
I'll be honest, if it wasn't for Stratovarius and my friend introducing me to their music about two years ago, I would probably still be listening to the crap some people call music in this country.But after pracrically listing to almost everything that the band has to offer, and what other metal bands have and are pumping out nowadays, Stratovarius is, a least to me, losing some of it luster. Don't get me wrong, I am still a fan and always will be, and Stratovarius is a great band, but I can't help but feel they are a little overrated by people, kinda like how Rhapsody is at times…Now about the new album. After the first Elements, I was contented, it was a good album, with a great balance of speed, mid-tempo, slow, and epic songs. Everything was is in its correct place and all was right with the world.But after listening to Elements Pt.2, I can't shake this feeling of how "unbalanced" this CD really is. In essence, you have three really fast, catchy songs, and you have six mid-tempo/slow/ballad songs that you can't really bang your head to. I mean, the songs are good, Stratovarius seal of quality, but I just cannot sink my teeth and chew into it's heavy-metal goodness. One reason it may seem this way is technically no epic on this cd (but it was on the last one). Another reason may be that the instumental is also on the first CD is well, making the variety here somewhat slim. All and all, I still glad I grabbed up this CD, but it doesn't really hold a special place in my heart like Dreamspace, Twilight Time, and Elements Pt.1 does.However, since early 2002 the band has really been encountered a lot of difficulties and rumors fly abound, and this is why I may feel the way I feel. I always though of Stratovarius as a well oiled metal machine, and maybe these recent rumors have damaged this view of mine. Oh well, we are at least going to see three more Stratovarius releases before the band is done, due to their recent contract signing with Sancuary records, so I should quit complaining.In closing, buy it your a fan, but start with a different Stratovarius release if your new to the band (Dreamspace, Episode, Visions, Destiny, Infinte, or Element's Pt.1).-Added Nov. 24 2003-Guess all of us fans of Stratovarius worst nightmares have come true. A recent news post by Tolkki at http://www.stratovarius.com has informed us that some of these rurmors are not rumors, but indeed truth. Tolkki plans to keep the band going, and possible line-up changes are inevitable.
Elements Pt.2, which comes almost right out after Pt.1, is completely different from its predecessor. This album is more direct, in-your-face music. If you were unhappy with the heavy use of orchestration in Pt.1, then you should be pretty happy with Pt.2, as orchestration is not at the spotlight this time.This album sounds like a cross between the Stratovarius of old (namely Episode and Visions albums), borrowing some elements form more recent albums (such as Infinite) while still retaining the fresh sound that was found in Elements, Pt.1. One thing that may turn fans away from this album is that the ratio of fast to slow songs is the same as that found on Pt.1: there are two very fast songs, two mid tempo songs, three ballads and two slow, yet powerful and hypnotic songs.Another of the main complaints with Pt.1 was Kotipelto's use of high notes, which could turn annoying some times. In Pt.2, high notes are used only in choruses and not throughout the song, and this time around they are done very well. There's only one song, though, in which Kotipelto's use of high notes can be annoying, and that song is Alpha & Omega.Let me give you a short review of all the songs in the album:1. Alpha & Omega (4.0/5.0) – This can be considered the epic of the album, but is not so much of an epic. The song starts with the sound of rolling waves, which would be the link between Pt.2 and Pt.1, because the latter ended with the sound of waves. Still, I think is a poor choice for an album opener. This is a very slow, powerful song with hypnotic drumlines. The bridge to the chorus is ballad-like. Overall a nice song, but Kotipelto's voice can be annoying some times.2. I Walk To My Own Song (4.5/5.0) – The single of the album. Your classic mid-tempo Stratovarius song. The melody gets in your ears quickly, and the solo is amazing.3. I'm Still Alive (5.0/5.0) – An awesome fast song which could've belong to the Visions album. Great chorus, and the vocal performance is very good here. There's a very good drum solo at the end.4. Season Of Faith's Perfection (4.5/5.0) – If you're a sucker for ballads, like me, you'll love this song. This is an orchestral ballad (like Papillon from Pt.1, but only in style). The song starts very nicely until a very haunting keyboard interlude. The chorus is awesome.5. Awaken The Giant (5.0/5.0) – Soul of a Vagabound, Pt.2. Much more heavier and direct than Vagabound. Again, another hypnotic song with a very nice drum beat.6. Know The Difference (5.0/5.0) – A lightning-fast masterpiece. Sounds like a cross between Stratofortress and Find Your Own Voice, without the annoying high vocals of the latter. The chorus is excellent, and the use of keyboards is really good. Watch out for the cool solo.7. Luminous (3.5/5.0) – The weakest song in the album. A very peaceful ballad. If you've ever listenned to Into Deep Blue, Pt.1's bonus track, then you know exactly how this song sounds. Great lyrics, but overall it doesn't do too much to me.8. Dreamweaver (5.0/5.0) – A very agressive song. Easily the best one in the album. The song is mostly mid-tempo, but it can get fast at some points because of the constant time-changes. The chorus is one of the best for a Stratovarius song.9. Liberty (5.0/5.0) – A power-ballad and a fantastic finale for the album. This feel-good song is the complete opposite of Forever, and I predict it will become the official closer for Stratovarius concerts. All in all, a very good album which sounds very fresh. Personally, I found this album waaaay better than Pt.1, which was less-direct music because of the heavy use of orchestration. Pt.2 is more direct, and that's what I like when listening to power metal.Heavily recommended.

Home Security
We live in dangerous times and it is more important than ever to try and protect your home, your family and your possessions. Whilst the police do their best they often do not have the resources available to investigate home theft. That is why it is sensible to try and protect your possessions with the surveillance and security equipment that is available to do just that.
We offer inexpensive home CCTV systems that are simple, yet effective, plug-and-play units. Prevention is better than cure and, in most cases, a burglar will not choose a house that obviously has a CCTV system.
For internal surveillance we have a large range of household items such as clock cameras which house camouflaged high definition, motion controlled CCTV cameras with built-in recording.
We also offer a range of camo-safes which are everyday items like Pledge furniture polish, Coca Cola, bottles of water, even Pringles which are all hollowed out to allow you to hide your valuables inside them. We also offer a high quality high security digital safe which you would typically bolt to a wall or the floor.
We can offer computer monitoring devices (Key Loggers) which will enable you to check to make sure that your children are not logging in to unsuitable sites and alert you if they do.
You may just choose to mark your household valuables with your name and address with a UV pen which will only show up under ultra violet light. This will make the police's job so much easier in identifying your possessions.
Quite simply we offer a range of products that will just make you feel that little bit more secure.

Served in tulip. Poured an attractive, clean, clear red with less than 1/2 inch of khaki head that had moderate retention and light lacing.
A big hit of bright, strong hops hits the nose first, followed by just enough malt sweetness to provide a solid counter-point. On the tongue the story was the same, just bolder and bigger. The citrusy hops lingered nicely at the back of the palate.
The body was full and smooth, but finished clean and dry, despite it's sweetness. Drinkability was good, but I'm not sure I'd take on 2 in a row. Overall, a very good brew, close to a must try, and certainly worth your time.

Poured from the bottle into a Dogfish Head Signature glass.
A real nice caramel brown and red body, highlights with some dark chestnut brown around edges. Light tan head makes four fingers and settles slowly with a nice cap, kind of creamy a little fluffy.
Nose is tea like herbal hops and soft brown sugar malt undertones. Quite nice and refreshing.
Palate hits with a good rich body, and density. Tea and sweetened Southern style tea action seems to hit on the palate. Juicy malt profile with a refreshing leafy hop angle. Finish leaves a little bit of caramel tasting malt goodness.
Overall pretty tasty, but the sweetness is a little much. I am also not a big fan of sweetened tea and this beer reminds me of it a bit.

T: Immediate fresh, big citrus followed by a light pine, there is some lightly toasted malt. The finish is dry, a light hop bitterness, booze sting

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a clear medium reddish orange amber. One finger fine light tan head with great retention and lacing. Great aroma of pine and citrus hops with light fruit and slight sweet malt. Flavor is very well integrated sweet malt, pine and citrus hops with light fruit juice and citrus. Flavor is subtle at first, but the flavor element reveal themselves in a pleasant way. Citrus and hop finish. Medium bodied with nice creaminess, excellent mouth feel. A very nicely made red ale; glad this rare one made it up to Seattle.

I tasted this over the weekend at a Laurelwood pub house in Battle Ground, WA. I had it on tap, served in a 12 oz. glass.
The color was a dark auburn, with minimal head and virtually no head retention.
The aroma was very nice, very hoppy, and also very fruity. The strongest fruit note I could detect smelled a lot like lychee.
This ale tasted great, very nicely hopped, sweet and floral up front, with a mildly bitter hop finish at the back. Minimal malt flavor, mostly overpowered by the hops. It had mild fruit notes, milder than the aroma, and I couldn't quite put my finger on any specific flavors.
This one has an average mouthfeel, smooth, not very rich, but not thin by any means.
I rated this one fairly high on drinkability, but if you don't like strong hop flavor and high ABV then this one may not be for you. This probably isn't one to pair with any mildly flavored food either. It would go great with a flavorful pizza, or a basket of well-seasoned pub fries, but it somewhat overpowered the taste of the goat cheese stuffed ravioli ratatouille I had with it.

A: Dark red/brown, light head, cloudy, not much retention or lacing.
S: Fruity, lots of hops, refreshing light malt.
T: Good hops, not very complex, some fruity flavors (grapefruit), malt is light and bready. Not as good as many of its competitors, though.
M: Dry, non-astringent, good carbonation, medium body.
D: Goes down pretty easily.

Got a half-pint on tap at Bailey's taproom. Pours a deep amber-red color with a decent-sized creamy white head that leaves some attractive lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, hops, and more hops - resiny, sticky goodness with a formidable backbone of sweet-smelling caramel malt holding its own as well. A touch of very ripe fruit (peach?) and a touch of pine also make their presence known.
Palate is seriously hoppy up front. Pine resin is the primary note, with the caramel and fruity notes of the malt balancing things out a bit. Grapefruit notes from the hops emerge on the swallow, along with some caramel sweetness. The bitterness of the serious hop content lingers on the finish, yielding a pleasantly sticky reminder of what was recently enjoyed.
Body is full for a red, though not at all chewy. A significant stickiness is the result of the overhopping here, and I for one am enjoying it. I will say that a 10 oz glass was plenty for one evening, but still, this is a damn tasty beer. Well done.

I had this on tap at the Laurelwood Pizza Company. The server warned me that it was only sold in a 12 oz. glass for $4.75. I was OK with that because, hell, that's a lot cheaper than what I pay for stuff in Philly! But I would have liked a pint, two 12 oz. glasses would have been too much... although I do kind of remember her saying that I could only get one glass, so maybe they were trying to ration it out...?
So a "free-range" organic red ale... I'd never had one. It was a dark amber with a reddish-cast beneath a short head of off-white. The retention was good, and it left thin veils of lacing about the glass.
In the nose it expressed a medium caramel maltiness and lots of piney and citrusy hops.
The flavor was also balanced towards hops, but there was just enough malt there that it didn't seem lacking in any way - just balanced towards hops! Piney and grapefruit-like over caramel, it finished with lingering hops as well. A very solid bitterness backed it, but I highly doubt that it was the 100+ IBU's that they touted. It just didn't seem that bitter to me, and I'm guessing that that number was derived from a calculation that gave too much credit to the flavor and aroma hops.
In the mouth it was medium bodied with a dextrinous edge. Starting at 20 Plato, it should have dropped to around 3.6 to achieve its listed 8.6%abv. It was moderately carbonated, and a touch creamy-smooth.
Overall, impressive! I'm not normally a big fan of red ales, but this was almost a west coast red ale-barleywine. Unfortunately, they were already out of bombers or I would have taken a few with me!

Yes boys and girls. On cask (no take out, no growlers and no happy hour discount) at the Laurelwood Pizza location on NE 40th.
The beer pours the expected amber red color with good head retention and lacing. The nose is complex, showing lots of sweet malt, but countered very nicely by the wave of hoppy bitterness. That being said, the nose is not as pronounced on cask as this beer is on CO2. The flavors on the palate, however, are simply mind blowing. This beer is much more sweet and malty on cask, but the tidal wave of hoppy bitterness imparts all kinds of flavor and hoppy goodness. I get sweet malt, baked apple and a hint of cherry, which is then countered and intensified by the hoppy bitterness. There is noticeable pine, pepper, citrus and quinine, all of which marries incredibly well with the sweet malt. In some ways, the cask version of this beer reminds me of a hoppy English ESB (a VERY hoppy ESB), or a somewhat lighter (again think very, very hoppy) English style barleywine (but without all the sweetness). Mouthfeel is very smooth and long, which while interesting, really doesn't work very well with this beer. Also, the sweetness hurts the drinkability just a bit, though this is still a very drinkable, absolutely delicious imperial (hoppy) red amber ale.
If I didn't have the regular Deranger to compare it to, I'm sure I'd find this to be a completely awesome, mind blowing beer. However, instead I find it to be simply a very good, very well made beer... that unfortunately simply cannot hold a candle to the CO2 version of this beer. Nevertheless, there is no denying that this is an excellent beer.

On tap Laurelwood Public House 51st and Sandy 9/16 poured into pub pint glass. $4.75 a pint, no happy hour discount.
One finger faint tan head, quick dissipation with excellent lacing. Dark reddish amber body. The nose is bready malts upfront, but after that the hop bomb is dropped. Taste is bitter, piney hops dominate with some citrusy sweetness (meyer lemon, pineapple). The finish is a bitter hop bomb, but nice balance with malts to even things out. Nicely carbonation with noticeable alcohol heat. At this ABV not sure if multiple pints are in order for the non-designated driver. One of the best IRAs I've had, worth seeking out.

A World War II veteran claims he was burglarized while he slept and had his pistol stolen from his bedside table.
Tom Slack of Baytown, Texas, says someone forced their way inside his home through the back, then went straight for his bedroom where he was sound asleep, and swiped his gun.
"The first thing I noticed, that pistol was not there. It always stayed on that little stand," Slack said.
Slack, who just lost his wife of 69 years, says nothing was taken except his pistol.
"Of course, I don't have anything to steal. I got some cookies," said Slack.
"He's hard of hearing. His hearing is difficult and his eyesight is also an issue," said Rindy Gremillion, a Meal on Wheels volunteer.
That is why Slack says he didn't notice the burglar just inches from where he was sleeping.
"He had to walk right up, where I could touch him," said Slack.
Gremillion told us, "So it could've been very tragic. It makes me sad just thinking about it."
Even though the 94-year-old wasn't hurt, he says he wishes he would've at least had the chance to confront the burglar.
"I'm mad. I'm mad that someone would come in my house and get my pistol," Slack told us. "I'd kill the son of a (bleep) if I could find him."
Slack says now he's just focused on getting the door fixed and getting a new gun.
The Meals on Wheels volunteer we saw in the story says she plans on getting a group together to fix Slack's door, and even maybe get him an extra loud alarm that he'd be able to hear.

A man has been arrested on charges of homicide and robbery in connection with an Easter morning murder in Fort Myers.
Deputies say Jamaal Dixon, 29, and Richard Reese, 50, were in a house at 3225 Broadway early the morning of April 8th.
Dixon reportedly demanded that Reese give him drugs for free. When Reese refused, deputies say Dixon pulled a gun from his waistband and reissued his demand.
Reese reportedly tried to grab the barrel of the gun, and Dixon pulled the trigger, according to investigators.
Dixon then allegedly went through Reese's pockets and then left. Reese was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dixon was tracked down by the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force Monday night in Lehigh Acres.
He's being held in the Lee County Jail.

Queen's $1.8M study to test Canadian exercise guidelines
How hard and for how long should you exercise in order to shed excess abdominal fat and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease?
That question - of particular interest to the more than 60 per cent of Canadians who are overweight or obese - will be investigated over the next three years by researchers at Queen's University in a new $1.8-million study funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
It's the largest, single-site study of its kind, and is being led by exercise physiologist Robert Ross, from Queen's School of Kinesiology and Health Studies. "For most Canadian adults, the question isn't 'How much exercise should I be doing?' but rather, 'How little can I do and still get the benefits?'" says Dr. Ross.
Current Canadian guidelines suggest 20 to 30 minutes of daily vigorous activity, such as moderate to brisk jogging, offers a wide range of health benefits. The guidelines also say that 45 to 60 minutes of walking get the same results.
"But surprisingly, there's a lack of solid evidence from randomized control trials to support this," notes Dr. Ross. "We know very little about the specific type, amount, pattern and intensity of exercise that will provide optimal or even measurable health benefits."
The Queen's study is now recruiting in the Kingston area for 320 male and female adults who carry excess weight around their stomachs. Research has shown that a higher-than-average risk factor for heart disease is associated with this abdominal obesity.
Under the supervision of university kinesiologists, participants will perform different levels and amounts of exercise five days a week over six months. The research team will measure the effects of varying physical activity on both waist circumference and glucose tolerance (the ability to manage blood sugar).
A nutritionist will also meet individually with participants to guide them through meal planning and food consumption, in an effort to ensure that all consume a balanced, healthy diet over the course of the study.
Dr. Ross's co-investigators are professors Robert Hudson (Endocrinology) and Miu Lam (Community Health and Epidemiology). Other members of the research team, from the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, include: Amanda Bullock, Morgan Craig-Broadwith, Kaitlyn Hougham, Peter Janiszewski, Amanda McDougall, Ashlee McGuire, Gillianne Mundell, Tammy Scott-Zelt, Paula Stotz, Jennifer Tomasone, Kristin Toomsalu and Melinda Van Zanten
"Our entire team is honoured and excited to receive this significant funding from CIHR to investigate a health issue that affects so many people," says Dr. Ross.
"The first step will be to clearly identify the separate effects of exercise dose and intensity on obesity and related risk factors for cardiovascular disease under controlled conditions," he continues. "Only then can we develop effective lifestyle-based strategies to improve overall health."

Enjoyed this recipe. I will definitely make it again for a party because it can make so many sandwiches. I used a little less mayonnaise and I liked it better with toast. Overall great!

Guest Author - Laura Lehman
Asimov Isaac (1920-1992) is one of the most widely read science fiction author of all time. His first short story, Marooned Off Vesta appeared in a 1939 issue of Amazing Stories. He won the Hugo Award four times and the Nebula Award once. With nearly five hundred books to his name and several hundred articles, he has works in every major category of the Dewey Decimal System except Philosophy.
His robot stories remain some of his most recognizable work. The 1999 movie Bicentennial Man is based on an Asimov story where a robot begins to display human characteristics. The story was originally written for an anthology celebrating the 1976 American bicentennial. Asimov, along with other authors, was commissioned to write a story about the phrase "the bicentennial man." While the anthology was never printed, the story formed the basis of the novel The Positronic Man (1993), co-written with Robert Silverberg.
Most recently was the feature film I, Robot. While many fans will agree that the movie has little in common with the stories, the film was inspired by, if not based on, Asimovs work and theories of the positronic brain.
Arthur C Clarke is probably most famous for 2001: A Space Odyssey. A mysterious, obviously artificial, artifact is discovered buried on the moon. With the intelligent computer HAL, men set off to explore it. The novel was inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel", but became a novel during collaboration on a screen play with Stanley Kubrick. The movie won the 1969 Hugo for dramatic presentation.

Where are all the people who thought John was done? Â You know who you are? Â Thought that was a good move? Â Thought we needed to go with the utes at that time?
Look, Lynch was never a great coverage man anyways but there's simply no way you can say that the team talent-wise (cap-wise is another issue) got better making the Lynch for Phillips trade becuase Lynch hasn't dropped off the map completely and Phillips has never stepped up to the level the team, and most of us, thought he would when John left.

The Titans are in first place in the AFC South after a 37-19 victory over Philadelphia, sparked by WR Kenny Britt, who wasn't even a sure thing to play Sunday after being allegedly involved in a bar fight early Friday morning in Nashville.
Britt caught seven passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns — including 26-, 80- and 16-yard scores — as Tennessee rolled to 27 fourth-quarter points to overcome a 19-10 deficit.
On Monday, head coach Jeff Fisher said of Britt's big game and the off-field incident, "I think both of them will be helpful in the long run. Sometimes when you face adversity in the face, you learn from it and you won't allow it to happen again. I hope that's going to be the case."
Per The (Nashville) Tennessean, Nashville police say witnesses allege Britt punched a man at the Karma Lounge in downtown Nashville. Charges have not yet been filed against Britt.
Fisher explained Monday why Britt, who was benched in the first quarter vs. Philadelphia, played Sunday. Echoing sentiments he had expressed Sunday, he noted that the club could still discipline Britt.
"What I did was I talked to Kenny (Friday) and I sent him home, as you're all aware," Fisher said. "So he didn't practice Friday, and at that point I was leaning towards sitting him. But after several conversations with him and some other information that I was able to obtain, I felt better about playing him because of the nature of the time frame. The fact that there was not a lot of time, I didn't want to hurt the football team simply because I did not have the information. Sitting Kenny down and taking disciplinary action from a club standpoint is still a realistic possibility."
Asked what he learned from his recent off-field incident, Britt said Sunday, "Don't go to places after 12 o'clock, stay in the house. My fiancée actually yelled at me after that, and I was like, "OK, I'll stay home for the rest of the season."
The PFW spin
Britt, 22, has emerged as the Titans' most important target in the passing game, and if he were to miss any playing time, it would clearly hurt the offense. Britt, who has seven TD catches in the last five games, is a very tough matchup, especially in the red zone, because of his size and athleticism.
"There is not much better that I've played with," Titans QB Kerry Collins said Sunday. "He is big, physical; he can run. He is going to do everything he can to get the ball. He is aggressive going after it. The guy loves to play. He loves making big plays. As a quarterback, it is nice to know that a guy like that is on your team because, like I said today, there were some throws that weren't exactly perfect, but the guy did whatever he had to do to get the ball."
Britt's big game Sunday came as the Eagles shut down the Titans' ground game, holding Chris Johnson to just 66 yards on 24 carries. Fisher noted Monday that Britt's play "should help to open the run game a little bit. Clearly they were not going to allow us to run the football yesterday."
Britt's maturity has been an ongoing concern. He admittedly was not in shape in the offseason. His production once he moved into the lineup in place of the injured Justin Gage (hamstring) has been especially impressive, but this off-field incident is, at best, a unnecessary distraction. He is more vital than ever to an offense that will need the threat of the pass to keep defenses honest.

The greatest comedian on the planet, Dane Cook, said it best: There's only ONE Octoooober!
Okay, yes I know, I'm wrong. It's the greatest comedian in the galaxy.
Lame attempts at jokes aside, I'm just trying to cliche about staying loose amidst the approaching tension of the first-ever, winner-take-all Wild Card game between the Braves and the Cards. Because after today, the season is over, just like that! Crazy how things work out.
Anyway, I took a little bit of time after the Cardinals clinched their spot as the Braves' opponents in the Wild Card game, to get in touch with Dan Moore, the manager of Viva El Birdos, to do a friendly Q&A with the upcoming opposition. He graciously took the time to answer five questions for me, to which I express my gratitude for, so much thanks Dan. I tried my best to answer a few questions for him as well, which he'll hopefully post over at VEB.
1. Pete Kozma - is he for real? Thrust into duty after the unfortunate elbow injury to Rafael Furcal, Kozma obliterated the opposition since arriving on August 31st. He's been an extra-base hitting machine, and has looked very impressive in just over one entire calendar month. Is he the real deal, or has he been really lucky (possibly indicative by .420 BABIP)?
Kozma could not be any less real if he were turned into gold by an alchemist. He was among the worst hitters in the PCL this year, and he was even worse the year before that. He is a legitimately above-average shortstop, with a great arm and good range, but his success with the bat is unfathomable.
(One post-success rationalization floated on occasion, on VEB and elsewhere-his minor league BAbip has been remarkably low, .250-ish, even though the PCL's BAbip is up around .330. For a fast guy who hits his share of doubles and home runs that's strange, but I'm not sure I'm willing to bet many at-bats on it.)
2. Kozma aside, the Cardinals lineup is stacked with talented hitters, with many of them enjoying excellent slash lines on the season as a whole, as well as some hot Septembers. Which player(s) should Braves fans keep their eye out on as potentially the biggest troublemakers? Will it be playoff-tested veterans like Carlos Beltran and Matt Holliday, the damage dealers of last year's playoffs in David Freese and Allen Craig, or should we just chalk it up and just say the seemingly-always-clutch Yadier Molina?
In one game, of course, you might as well worry about Pete Kozma. But Yadier Molina and Allen Craig are probably the hitters to watch out for; Molina's in the middle of a very surprising Brian McCann-style season, and Craig (we call him "Wrench") hasn't looked any worse for taking Lance Berkman's full-time job.
Beltran's had a weird second half and Holliday has looked less-than-healthy over the last few weeks, but when you can slump your way to an OPS+ around 130 you're probably still worth the pitcher's caution.
3. According to MLB, Mike Matheny has named Kyle Lohse to start the one-game playoff. Despite Lohse's impressive traditional lines throughout 2012, he's a guy not often favored by the statgeek crowd, due to his low strikeout rates and sub-90s fastball. Whereas Lance Lynn is riding a hot September where his K/BB has been over five, he's been striking out over 10 per nine, and Friday would put him on normal rest. Do you think Matheny has made the right call? If not, who does VEB think should be starting?
Predictably, I (and most of VEB, I think) would have preferred Adam Wainwright, who's looked like an average pitcher this year but put up peripherals that are difficult to distinguish from his pre-elbow-surgery years. Lynn was always a non-starter; he's been great this year, but in the course of losing his starting job in August he developed a reputation as an unpredictable youngster with first-inning problems.
Lohse has been really good, if not as great as 16-3 looks, so I'm not crushed by Matheny's move. But I think it was the wrong one.
4. For the second year in a row, the Cardinals have arrived to the party last, and once again, the last hurdle to the NLDS is the Braves. It worked out pretty good for the team last year, but this time, the Cards will have to deal with the Braves personally. What's the general consensus on the Cardinals' overall playoff chances this year? Does the populous generally feel that this is a more or less-talented team than the championship squad from a year ago?
This is a very weird team, and the Cardinals have been on a very strange run over the last decade or so, so it's hard to say. The two best teams since the Cardinals started competing yearly in 2000 were easily the 2004 and 2005 Cardinals; the worst one won the World Series in 2006.
These last two teams seem pretty equally matched to me. The 2011 team finished with a better record, and was, by October, very different from the one that played the first half. The 2012 team has a better run differential, but it's also going into the postseason with Pete Kozma as its starting shortstop.
5. And of course, we can't not address this little spark: Adam Wainwright made a presumptuous statement a week ago that Braves Country generally felt was quite bold, along the lines of how celebrations should be held off until when the Cardinals defeated the Braves. How do Cardinals fans generally feel about this kind of remark? Anyone superstitious and wish he hadn't said it, concerned about igniting a fire, or do Cards fans just not really care?
I had no idea this happened, which is probably representative of the splash it made in St. Louis. The way you've worded it makes it sound pretty innocuous, but in general that kind of locker-room-material exchange doesn't appeal to me no matter who's doing it. Last year the Cardinals dealt with a very particular version, in which Nyjer Morgan called Albert Pujols "Alberta," declared the Cardinals eliminated, and demonstrated himself to be illiterate.
Where still n 1st and I hope those crying birds injoy watching tha Crew in tha Playoffs!!! Aaaaahhhhh!!!— Nyjer Morgan - T Dot (@TheRealTPlush) September 8, 2011
But it didn't really become a story until after the Cardinals beat the Brewers in the NLCS; it's been retweeted ever since. (I asked for the URL on Twitter, so I could include it in this Q&A, and I got three responses from Cardinals fans who had it bookmarked in the first five minutes.)
Once again, I want to thank Dan Moore for taking the time to answer these questions for myself and inquiring Braves fans everywhere. VEB runs a pretty fine community in their own right, I'll gladly add. May the best team win tonight!

GRANBURY, Texas (AP) - Two law enforcement officers have been shot in the North Texas city of Granbury while in the apparent pursuit of a suspect.
Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds says the gunfire happened late Friday morning. No information was immediately released on the fate of a suspect allegedly involved in the gunfire. A white van remained at the scene in downtown Granbury, about 25 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
Granbury police did not immediately return messages about the shootings.
Messages left with the mayor of Granbury and the city manager also weren't immediately returned

Don't get bitten by online, pet store purchases
by Staci Giordullo
Mark Stettner had no idea how Thanksgiving Day 2008 would change his life. His daughter, then a college sophomore, returned to their Allentown, Pa., home with the news that she had a dog - and it wasn't permitted in her campus housing. "That's when I inherited Max - and the problems," says Stettner, an Angie's List member.
Stettner's daughter bought Max, who was advertised as a purebred toy poodle, for $1,347 from an online pet broker called Breedersdirect.com. "Thanksgiving weekend he had some stomach problems, and was initially diagnosed with colitis," Stettner says. "But Max didn't get really sick until the following July."
Mark Stettner's daughter, Sarah, holds a photo of Max, the toy poodle mix she purchased from Breedersdirect.com.

Stettner says his veterinarian referred him to specialists who, in turn, recommended he take Max to an internist. "I took him to the veterinary hospital at the University of Pennsylvania [which] found a myriad of problems."
Not as advertised
In addition to genetic testing that showed Max was a Boston terrier poodle mix - not a purebred - Stettner says he was diagnosed with a fungal infection, liver problems and kidney issues. "He was a time bomb," says Stettner, who spent more than $5,000 on Max's care but ultimately had to put the sickly dog to sleep.
Stettner, who suspected Max had come from a puppy mill, called Breedersdirect.com and demanded a refund. He says the Florida-based company offered him another dog instead. Playing dumb, Stettner then called Max's breeder and asked for another dog from the same bloodline. He says the breeder, Coleen Harrell of Rocky Comfort, Mo., told him he would have to go through her broker, The Hunte Corporation.
Based in Goodman, Mo., Hunte is the nation's largest pet broker, buying dogs from breeders located primarily in the Midwest and selling them to pet stores nationwide. "Hunte said my replacement dog was on a truck headed my way," Stettner says. "I had to meet the truck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The driver handed me the dog ... and took off. I took one look at him and knew he was sick."
Stettner took his new dog, Jake, to the veterinarian right away, but the dog died four days later. Stettner says Hunte refunded the $500 he paid for Jake, but not the $700 veterinary bill.
Federal oversight limited
Under the Animal Welfare Act , commercial breeders and brokers are regulated, licensed and subject to inspections by the USDA. However, those that sell dogs directly to the public, including through the Internet, are not.
Animal advocates believe that an estimated 2 million to 4 million dogs are born in puppy mills each year, and that many wind up in pet stores or being sold to unsuspecting online shoppers. "It's a big problem," says Deborah Howard, founder of national nonprofit Companion Animal Protection Society. "And it's a huge business."
Breedersdirect.com is no longer operational, but the company behind the website - The Breeder Network LLC - continues to solicit breeders at breedernetwork.com, breederadmin.com and several other sites - all utilizing the same phone number (which was 954-237-2284 at press time) and registered by the same agent with the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations.
Lemon lawA number of states have adopted puppy lemon laws, providing the consumer with recourse for reimbursement if he or she purchases a sick dog.To see if your state has such a law, and what's required to file a claim, visit humanesociety.org
"They're not really a network of breeders but rather a place where breeders of questionable background can advertise," says Kathleen Summers, a manager with the Humane Society of the United States. "More and more breeders that have a lot of violations and are deciding they don't want to be licensed by the USDA are going underground and hiding behind these websites."
Naresh Chhabra is listed as the owner of The Breeder Network LLC and Sushma Chhabra is listed as the owner of Pet Breeder Network LLC by Florida's Division of Corporations. But according to news reports and an investigation by advocacy group Last Chance for Animals, Naresh's son Vincent K. Chhabra is actually running the online puppy broker sites. Chhabra pleaded guilty in 2004 and served 33 months in federal prison for illegal Internet pharmaceutical sales.
Calls by Angie's List Magazine to The Breeder Network, the Hunte Corporation and Harrell were not returned. However, recent USDA inspection reports of Harrell's facility counted 96 adult dogs and 34 puppies and listed several violations, including dogs exposed to near-freezing temperatures, signs of rodents and housing in disrepair.
New legislation proposed
In March, federal lawmakers reintroduced legislation that would require licensing and regulation of commercial breeders and brokers who sell puppies online or directly to the public. Known as the PUPS Act, the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety Act was defeated last
year, but supporters remain optimistic.
"While [HSUS] can't predict at this time when PUPS will pass, we know the legislation will pressure the USDA to respond to citizens' concerns about this issue by issuing rules designed to provide better oversight for 'direct sales' puppy producers," Summers says. "We encourage concerned citizens to write to the USDA to respectfully request these changes."
The HSUS assisted the Houston County Sheriff's Department in Gordon, Ala., in the rescue of approximately 150 dogs and 50 cats found living in deplorable conditions.

Discerning reputable breeders
Dana Derraugh, owner of Le Petit Puppy in New York City, sells a select few miniature breeds from her Greenwich Village boutique that she says are suited for city life and she keeps a file for each puppy that includes health records and USDA reports on its breeder.
As required by New York law, she also gives buyers 14 days to have their new pet examined by their own veterinarian and offers a full refund if the dog doesn't receive a clean bill of health. "There are a lot of shady breeders," she says. "But I've been buying my dogs from the same breeders for years and I give them all the credit in the world."
However, member Phyllis Jacob of Camarillo, Calif., says legitimate breeders never sell a dog to a broker or a pet store. "Good breeders want to interview the prospective buyer personally and make sure their dog is going to the right kind of home," says Jacob, who traveled to Washington state to meet the breeder of her Cavalier King Charles spaniel before buying.
Gordon Murray, owner of Shorewood Retrievers in Beecher, Ill., breeds AKC-registered Labrador and golden retrievers that sell for $800 to $1,000 and says any reputable breeder will offer a warranty with their pups covering health and genetic disorders and may require the buyer to return the dog if for any reason they don't want it.
Gordon Murray, owner of Shorewood Retrievers, says you can't tell a reputable breeder by his or her website alone and recommends any potential pet owner visit the breeding facility.

"We have no more than three litters a year," he says. "I would be really leery of someone who has litters constantly. That's a red flag." Murray also says he likes to meet all of his potential buyers.
For those interested in working directly with a reputable breeder, the American Kennel Club offers a list of "breeders of merit." Pricing typically depends on where you live, rarity of the breed and size of the dog, but can average between $500 and $2,000.
"We're the only registry who has an inspection process," says AKC spokeswoman Lisa Peterson. "But it's important to note that we don't certify or register the breeders - just the dogs."
Warning signs
Peterson also warns consumers against breeders who claim to have multiple breeds ready to ship immediately and those who seem overly concerned with payment. "And if you expect the dog you are buying to be AKC-registrable, you must obtain documentation when you pick up the dog," she says. "Be wary of excuses such as 'AKC hasn't sent the papers yet.' If a breeder is doing his paperwork in a timely manner, there's no reason the registration application shouldn't be available."
The AKC also recommends contacting the national organization for the breed to verify a breeder's credentials and request references to speak with individuals who previously purchased pups from the breeder.
Alternative options
Experts say those looking for a purebred also have a number of alternative options, including shelters and rescue organizations. "Purebred rescue organizations are a great resource," Howard says. "They really screen people and get the dog in the right house." If you bypass a shelter or rescue group, Howard says consumers shouldn't rely solely on breeders having a USDA license.
"It's very, very lax," she says, noting that licensing requirements vary from state to state. "It means they get inspected once a year. And they don't go back to see if the violations are fixed or not - they don't have enough inspectors."
Stettner didn't go through a breeder or rescue organization for his third dog but purchased Zev, a poodle-terrier mix, from a pet store. Visiting the vet the next morning, he found that Zev had kennel cough, pneumonia, parasites and an ear infection, and continues to be bothered by irritants.
"I would never recommend anyone buy from a pet store because I can guarantee you it's from a puppy mill," he says. "The only reason I did is I just knew the dog was dying." He urges others to avoid the mistakes he made and stay away from pet stores and brokers.
"You don't know what you're getting, you don't know where they come from and all you're doing is helping promote puppy mills and illegitimate breeders," he says. "Save yourself the tears."

LOGANSPORT — Two power outages today cut power to much of Logansport and later to about 500 customers northeast of city limits.
A fault on an electric line near Second Street and Melbourne Avenue feeding downtown sent a surge to the generating plant, blowing up some lightning arresters mounted on transformers there, according to Logansport Municipal Utilities spokesman Bob Dunderman.
"One wire fell into another, causing the fault to come back to the generating plant," Dunderman said. He didn't anticipate the problem reoccurring and said it "had nothing to do with load at all."
The damage to the lightning arresters cut power to much of Logansport at about 1:30 p.m. -- downtown, part of the east side from the generating plant as far as Eastgate Plaza, the south side and part of the west side. In all, about 3,500 customers were affected, Dunderman said.
Areas on the east and south sides saw power restored about 2 p.m. LMU restored power to the downtown area and portion of the west side at about 3:32 p.m.
A separate outage affecting about 500 customers in the area of Broad Ripple Road happened shortly before 3:30 p.m. Dunderman said he hoped to have power restored in that area within the hour.

Joan and Dave Becker, the parents of convicted killer Mark Becker, are on a mission to help Iowans better understand mental illness and improve Iowa's treatment of mental health patients They talk about how their son's mental illness played a role in the murder of A-P football coach Ed Thomas.
"This was a great man. I have very fond memories of coach," says Dave Becker, the father of the young man convicted of killing Aplington-Parkersburg teacher and coach, Ed Thomas in 2009.
Dave Becker is left to deal with the harsh reality that his middle son, Mark Becker, shot and killed Ed Thomas in front of more than 20 students in a makeshift weight room on June 24, 2009.
Dave Becker was an all-conference player on Ed Thomas' first team at Parkersburg in 1975. The two men remained close friends over the years within the Parkersburg community. For Dave Becker, it remains a difficult reality with which to deal."Probably time is a healer. In some aspects, it's as fresh as it was in the days following. We've relied on our faith. We don't walk alone," Dave says.
Now, four years after the Ed Thomas murder, Dave, and his wife, Joan, have started sharing their story of what it's like to be the parents of the man who committed such a terrible crime.
It's the story of what their family went through and their walk with Iowa's mental health system, and how they believe that system failed their son, Mark. Joan says it helps cope with what happened and is therapeutic.
She is writing a book about her son's mental illness and hopes to help thousands of other families dealing with similar mental health symptoms. Joan says, "You share what our family went through and you hope it can help and impact others. I've had many people come back to me and contact me and say, I heard you speak. Although it's difficult to share our story, it's worth it."
The Becker's have decided they do not want to live in isolation. "That's not going to help other families cope or go through the system, or try to navigate the system that's so difficult to do these days."
Right now, Mark Becker is serving his life prison term at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville. He will never be paroled. He has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. His mother, Joan,says, while her middle son is undergoing treatment and receives medications, he is still hearing voices and has hallucinations. In the Ed Thomas murder, Becker allegedly heard voices which told him to kill Coach Thomas. "He said, Mom and Dad, I just want you to know that I never meant to hurt my friend Ed Thomas….I'm so sorry for what I did. So, it told us, he recognizes what he did, and he recognizes it was wrong. But, at the same time,it was so right to him to do something like this because of the mental state he was in. And, that's absolutely an insane thought. We know that. Mark thought so much of Ed Thomas and had the utmost respect for Ed, and for him to tell us and share that meant a lot to us."While looking over some old family photographs, Joan Becker came across one which reminded her that Mark was in a rock band in high school which even played once at the A-P prom. The name of the band: Bipolar Dancing.

After a grand finale in Tuesday nights 'Biggest Loser' show, one woman stepped on the scale and showed she had dropped more than half her body weight.
"I think she looked so thin because she was 260 and then went to 105, it was just a shock." says Courts Plus Group Fitness Director Jodi Roper. "She was getting bashed at 260 and now she's getting bashed at 105."
She and other fitness instructors say the number isn't something people should be focusing on.
"There's a lot of factors to put in when you are talking about an ideal weight, you need to look at their bone structure, you need to look at their height, there's just so much more that goes into it than just a number." Jodi says.
One of the biggest things she points out was this is a TV show that had a large amount of money weighing in on contestants shoulders.
"That would be incredibly motivating," Rob agrees, "at the end of the day she's going to want to win that prize, and potentially whatever means it might take."
Jody says many past contestants do gain some weight back after the show, but if it has become a problem she says the best thing to do is encourage her to get help.
"If she has a problem let's address it, let's be her support system, let's not judge her, let's just support her." Jodi says.
She promotes people to learn healthy habits and above all be happy with yourself.
"Kudos to her for doing it." Jodi adds.
