In 2008, during the American presidential election campaign, US Senator Hillary Clinton's handlers began to get clumsy and she was seen in two different places at once on a number of separate occasions. And not just in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Someone sees Hillary Clinton at a function across town at, say, 1.30pm. And then, when they compare notes with a Democratic Party co-worker later that day, they learn that Hillary was also seen back at the hotel at 1.30pm, three miles away. And her clothes were different, or her hair was different, or her makeup was different, and the people with her were different. Or, after a speaking engagement, the car drives Hillary Clinton away to Location A, where she is seen to get out of the car at, say, 10.45pm. But a co-worker sees her at 11.00pm at Location B thirty or forty miles away, except that Hillary Clinton and the car have not left Location A. And they couldn't drive that fast anyway, and Hillary's clothing or appearance is different, and the people with her are different. And the next day, arriving for an early morning meeting somewhere, Hillary comes from Location B, not from Location A. Meanwhile, she is seen having a late breakfast at Location A with different people. And so on.
How many different Hillary Clintons are there?
It is suggested that over half the US Presidential hopefuls in 2008 were human clones. There were several of each of them. Was Hillary Clinton one of these or several of them? And how are the voters to discriminate?
A picture of the young Hillary Clinton can be seen here. Notice the physiognomy: the smile musculature, the cheek pouches, the placement of the nose bridge, the upper eyelid line. Now look at who the official Hillary for President campaign site wanted you to vote for in New Hampshire (picture here). The same woman, but older? Look at the right hand side of her mouth. Any moles visible? There are other pictures here and here and here and here. Same woman again, but older? Trick of the light maybe? Moles there notice, but no moles here. What about here? Moles or not? Now for the mystery woman. Who is this? Or this? Recognise the smile? Know the name from somewhere? The same as this perhaps? And where did this one come from? Or this, or this? In that run of pictures, there were fifteen images of which three were repeated. But how many different individuals were shown? Three? Four? When we and others first began running this story, the Hillary for President campaign immediately changed its lead picture from this to this. That image was then changed again after a bit. Their current favourite official regulation version of Hillary Clinton can now be viewed here.
And for afficionados, here is a picture of one of the Hillary Clinton clones taking instructions from a clone-handler called George McGlaris in Dover, New Hampshire, on Monday 7th January 2008.
A quote from the Hillary Clinton for President website is germane: "President Clinton writes about his life with Hillary and how she has been an agent of change for 35 years."
What was the major issue in election-alert America in 2008? It was the physiognomy, stupid.
The use of human clones in American political management is only now becoming apparent. The last US President not to be cloned was John F. Kennedy. Usually, when a President or major American public figure ceases to be compliant to the demands of the controlling corporate elite, they are quietly killed, cremated and replaced with lookalike, mind-controlled clones. These days, at the Camp David human clone laboratories (Maryland) and elsewhere, it is possible to produce an adult human clone from originator DNA and a lab-double in less than 36 hours.
The history of this covert human cloning technology is now emerging. By the late 1970s, using monochromatic laser light technology, researchers within the Russian security community created a holographic apparatus which could record the entire memory of the living brain of a chosen human individual and store the data content of that brain on stable computer hardware. The Russians used inaudible high-frequency sound waves to create a complete three-dimensional picture of the brain. They discovered that their ultrasonic cerebral hologram process duplicated and stored the entire memory of the person in a coherently recoverable form. The Russians now had what they wanted to create working lab-clones for deployment. The same technique could be used to download someone else's memory into another (different) person, in this case a lab-double, and natural doubles could now be reprogrammed to take on the full memory database of the person being replaced. More background here.
Lab-doubles are generated using DNA infusion. Here the DNA of the person chosen to be duplicated is collected, amplified, processed and prepared for the infusion process into the new host body. The DNA infusion completely overrides the DNA of the living human host, physically transforming the host body into a visual replica of the chosen body. However, the residual host body DNA can still be detected, and identified, within the lab-double using sensitive DNA testing procedures. Where do the human host bodies come from? Covert kidnap, abduction and fake disappearance programmes. Many of the abducted human host bodies are those of children. And, of course, any of these abducted human hosts can be subjected to brain programming manipulation as well as to complete ultrasonic cerebral downloads.
In one curious incident, a Europe-controlled cell of US Rothschild minions within the US security community learned that the Russians were using duplicated clones for many of their leading Kremlin operatives. By this time the Americans had obtained similar brain programming and ultrasonic cerebral download abilities to the Russians. This technology had been fed to them from the Rothschild clone labs in Europe. The US military tried to use identical US-controlled clones to penetrate the Kremlin. Kremlin lookalikes were produced in America and were secreted into Moscow via the US embassy. However, the Russians were tipped off and became aware of the detail of the plan in advance. They let the US clones through into the Kremlin, downloaded their memories and programming and then reprogrammed them for Russian use. The Americans became perplexed as to what had happened because their infiltrated Kremlin clones were not carrying out their US programmed orders. It was an exotic case of double-agent meltdown. For sometime, nobody in the US knew which Russian clone was which. This engendered subtle difficulties for the Americans at international conferences.
When President George Bush Snr left office in 1993, he was Clone Number 34 in his DNA originator line. Most of his previous 33 clones had been used and terminated at that point. When President Bill Clinton left office in 2001, he was Clone Number 21 in his line. When a President is terminated and cloned, it is standard practice to do the same with his close family members. If this is not done, they immediately notice the difference and cause difficulties.
Human clones are not ensouled and do not, therefore, have access to the higher dimensions through reflection, intuition and spiritual practice. No soul means no God-connection. And no God-connection means that clones have an inherent vulnerability to religious manipulation and deceit.
The higher dimensional data-links which ensouled humans have, help them to appear quick, flexible and alert in conversation, particularly when stressed. The absence of this potential for minute-to-minute inspiration or revelation in clones gives rise to a simplistic body language and inappropriate physiognomic responses in complexly nuanced situations (picture example here). It also means that when faced with metaphorated questioning or elliptical comments, they can appear slow, dim or confused. Anything that human clones are confronted with which falls outside their specific day-to-day conditioning or expectation engenders childlike conflict-signalling and tantrums (picture examples here and here). For this reason, two or three clones are kept up and running for each principal at any one time. They are very nearly identical in appearance, but some look younger or more innocent than others, and some have superficial tissue differentiations that cannot be concealed by makeup when viewed in close-up or under strong light.
If two different clones of one individual are interacted with at a conference on successive days by an ensouled human, the differences are often very evident. "Which George did you speak to today, Tony?"
With regard to a clone's irrational conflict-signalling and out-of-comfort-zone tantrums, Hillary Clinton can boast considerable previous form. Ask anyone who has worked closely with her. She's not just scratchy; she can be hysterically ballistic. The summer of 2009 provided a famous example. Hillary fractured an elbow in a furious physical fight with a senior colleague at the US State Department in Washington DC. On Wednesday 17th June 2009, the US Secretary of State lost control of herself and lashed out viciously at the US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke.
The argument and fight arose from a shouting match between the two concerning North Korea. Holbrooke had just confronted Clinton with two facts about the US's handling of the North Korea fiasco. First, he let Clinton know that he was aware that agents of the US State Department, acting for Clinton, had tipped off the North Korean government about the presence of the two Current TV journalists on the Chinese border near North Korea. Second, Holbrooke told Clinton that he was also aware that Clinton had personally sabotaged an effort by the Swedish Ambassador, the Chinese Foreign Ministry and Albert Gore to secure a quick and safe release of the two Current TV journalists from North Korean custody. As a consequence, the journalists were unnecessarily detained in the North Korean presidential headquarters known as the Puzzle Palace.
Richard Holbrooke and Hillary Clinton's screaming match then went physical. Hillary began to physically attack Holbrooke. Holbrooke defended himself and during the altercation forced Hillary to the ground causing her right elbow to fracture. After her fight with Holbrooke, Clinton was treated at The George Washington University Hospital before going home. She later underwent surgery to repair the damage on Friday 19th June 2009. This photograph here, taken on Monday 22nd June 2009, shows Clinton's injured right arm. It is said that much of the exchange between Hillary and Holbrooke was recorded by State Department security cameras. Inside the Beltway, Richard Holbrooke suddenly became the most popular person in town.
Another celebrated Hillary Clinton tantrum occurred back in the 1990s during Bill Clinton's presidency. Investigating unusual noises at the White House one evening, a Federal Secret Service agent discovered the First Lady in a well-lubricated lesbian sexual encounter with the regular White House prostitute known as Susan. Clinton responded by attacking the agent with a heavy glass ash tray. In fairness, it should be remarked that Susan was never exclusively lesbian in the services she provided for the US governing class. Current CIA Chief Leon Panetta and ABC talk show host George Stephanopoulos both caught genital herpes from Susan at White House socials.
Having no soul and no God-connection means that human clones have no spiritual processing power; they cannot function at the level of values, morals, ethics, compassion, honour or decency. Indeed, they have nothing within their intellection which energises or articulates such concepts in their consciousness. Human clones do, however, have a very powerful survival instinct. Under sustained pressure or threat they become amoral, manipulative fighting machines without spiritual stops or conscience. What you can get away with is what you do; lying is the core modus operandi; honesty about facts on the ground is self-injurious weakness; a spectrum of alternative views on an issue is a spectrum of aggressive enemy positions; unscrupulous elimination of opponents replaces dialogue. Human clones are perfect for politics, banking, the armed forces, religion, schooling and theft. Easily mind-controlled by the hidden negative elite, clones are the visible drivers of systemic evil.
Human clones are also prone to making extraordinary bloomers when speaking in public, and not noticing their mistakes. George Bush Jnr has an extensive back catalogue of such infelicities. For example, speaking on Australian television in September 2007 about the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York on the 11th September 2001, one of the Bush Jnr clones said: "And I believe those of us who live in liberty have a responsibility to promote forms of government that deal with what causes nineteen kids to get on airplanes to kill three thousand students." (See 3.44-3.55 on this YouTube video clip here)
Later in the same month, the same Bush Jnr clone was reported by CBS News as follows: "He (President George Bush Jnr) dismissed concerns about lack of political progress in Iraq, saying people there are still recovering from the brutal rule of Saddam Hussein. Then, pounding his lectern, the president said, 'I heard somebody say, "Where's Mandela?" Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas.' The actual former South African president, of course, is still very much alive." (CBS 20.09.07)
A university-educated, experienced and ensouled politician would not regularly make grotesque slips of this kind. But if he did misspeak occasionally, he would notice immediately and correct himself. In the later clone years, Bush was never able to do this.
One thing, however, which George Bush Jnr was able to maintain to the last was his suspiciously consistent clone-smile. He always had a switch-on perfect smile ready for the camera. Switch-on perfect, switch-on perfect, switch-on perfect; it never changed. Ensouled human beings - even experienced actors - cannot do this; their smiles are always moderated by the 'spiritual' circumstances and context of the camera-call. Their physiognomies betray a slight change of texture, a strained tension, a fuller or slightly less full beam. And the eyes often say something the smile does not. They still smile well, but they smile differently each time. This is not the case with clones. Clones are robotically identical each smile.
US President Barack Obama furnishes a good example. On Wednesday 23rd September 2009, Obama hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. During this event, he stood for 135 separate photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries who were in town for a major UN meeting. As this rapid-fire slideshow from Eric Spiegelman demonstrates, the US President had exactly the same smile in every shot. Spiegelman put his compilation on Vimeo shortly after the Met event and gave it the title: "Barack Obama's amazingly consistent smile." The 135 raw photoshots he used can be found on Flickr here.
But what about Hillary Clinton? Is she really a tribal subset of mind-controlled clones? Follow the DNA. It's there in the lavatories, handkerchiefs, discarded nasal tissues, cosmetics applicators, bedroom dust, cutlery, drinking glasses and coffee cups. And look out for the little black box under the clothes. It's smaller than it used to be in the famous George Bush Jnr photographs (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here, plus comments here), but it can still be seen on a windy day.
More information about the use of human clones in American political management can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
And there is a more recent clone-pertinent update here (27.04.12).
But it is not just politicians, military people, finance professionals and religious leaders who have been cloned. Human clones are found in the show business world, too. And they feature prominently in the mainstream media's presentation of celebrity culture. Consider the much-discussed case of the two Paul McCartneys. Four other Paul McCartney photographic comparisons can be viewed here, here, here and here. Look at McCartney's left ear lobe here (in 1964) and here (in 1964), compared with his left ear lobe here (in 1974) and here (in 1974). The murder and cloning of Beatle Paul McCartney by agents acting for the Tavistock Institute (London) in 1966 is a story which has been revisited again recently. It is sometimes referred to as The Two McCartneys Conundrum.
For many decades people have taken the view that the original pop star Paul McCartney of the Beatles, a Tavistock Institute band, is dead. He died in a car accident in 1966 which was reported by several media outlets before being hushed up. The car accident, like Princess Diana's thirty years later, was an arranged murder or cover for an arranged murder.
After 1966 it was widely noted that Paul McCartney had changed. He was considerably taller, and his physiognomy, voice and mannerisms were different. And evidence is emerging which suggests that the Beatles didn't even write some of the music accredited to them after that date.
On this view, the Beatles were planned by the shadow controllers of the sixties music industry. The purpose of the Beatles was social engineering. The phenomenon of the Beatles was not a spontaneous rebellion by youth against the old social system. It was a carefully crafted plot to introduce, by a conspiratorial body which could not be identified, a highly destructive and divisive element into a large worldwide population group targeted for change against its will.
New words and new phrases prepared by the Tavistock Institute mind-moulders were introduced to America along with the Beatles. Words such as "rock" in relation to music sounds, "teenager," "cool," "discovered" and "pop music" were a lexicon of disguised code words signifying the acceptance of illicit drugs. The subtext beneath this vocabulary arrived with and accompanied the Beatles wherever they went. It had only to be "discovered" by teenagers. The word "teenager" was never used until just before the Beatles arrived on the scene, courtesy of the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations.
It was important at that time for the Shadow Government (controlling the USA from Europe) to affirm illicit drug use in the youth culture. This would enrich the drug barons worldwide who paid for the private armies and bribes necessary to maintain hidden power. And now, in 2009, the USA is in Afghanistan to protect the illicit drugs trade. And now, in 2009, most major US banks have only been able to stay afloat by bringing illicit drugs money on to their books by using counterfeit source of funds documentation.
One persistent idea is that in September 1966, Paul McCartney was replaced with a double called William Shepherd or William Campbell. McCartney was terminated and replaced because he refused to go along with the pro-drug agenda of the Beatles' Tavistock controllers.
After 1966, the new Paul McCartney started doing frank interviews about his LSD habit. McCartney's murder not only eliminated someone who wouldn't go with the program, it served as a warning to others in the circle not step out of the Tavistock line.
It is more likely, however, that Paul McCartney was cloned before being terminated, samples of his originator DNA having been obtained, cultured and amplified before his accident. Human clones, such as the Bushes, the Clintons and the Obamas, are not ensouled. They have no souls - no innate communication with positive influences among the Higher Evolution in the higher dimensions. They are intelligent, mind-controlled meat-machines, programmed by those whose negative agenda they implement. Might Paul McCartney be the same? Clones are not aware that they are clones. Such information is not permitted to occur to them or to enter their mind-programming.

Well that's throwing the Cat Amoung The Pigeons!
"The Body Snatchers" was a good movie and it makes one think of the possibilities of such a thing happening. I pose this question to everyone. If what this article is suggesting is possible, who is to say that some of us or all of us are already cloned ? Think about the question and tell me that you know that nothing wierd has'nt already happened to some of us or all of us ?
How many times have we woken up from a deep or long sleep and felt different or stranger after we woke up ?
Can any of us really be sure that we where not cloned while we where asleep ?
I know that I can't honestly say I am absolutely sure that the me that is here now, is the same me of 2 or 3 months ago.
In fact, there is every reason to believe or be mindful of the rapid cellular changes that occur everyday when our RNA and DNA replication takes place at some point during our daily RNA and DNA replication period of time.
If some advanced group of beings or creatures or DNA researchers wanted to change us from who we are to who they want us to be, all they need to do is wait for us to go to sleep, and the rest is a clinical event without our awareness.
Somewhere in our quantum existence, these things already occur either in this dimension or another one or many.
For all we know, it is actually a natural process that goes on continusly everywhere and anywhere and none of us is the wiser. I am not trying to down play your assumptions on this subject matter, but the possibilities are endless.
Who are we ?
Where do we come from ?
Why are we here ?
Do we exist in many other dimensions in time and space ?
What makes us eternal beings ?
Any one of these questions can keep us busy for many years, let alone answers to all of them.
Pondering everything all of the time is a mystery in itself.
The answer is in our Third Eye.
Well if they killed a Bin Laden clone he (or it) would have been shown. That whole thing is a joke.
Just like Bin Laden died in 2002 but the USA takes false credit for his death last year?
Smoke and mirrors.
Something I have been attempting to get to the bottom of for years.
Sorry for sneaking in this video, but we all need to see this one.
Nothing would surprise me now!
I've noted that David Cameron is looking a bit plastic faced lately but I don't think a clone would be jumping in the air with the sheer delight of Chelsea winning the European Cup Final lol!
I read a lot of information in these kind of article, but where is the writers getting thier information? just another theory? Where is the proof. Just because someone writes something, doesn't make it so. Not that I honestly care, there is nothing anyone can do, especially since it has been going on since the death of JFK, as these stories say. So, how does this news benifit us other than to scare people and take our mind off ourselves, and our own progression?
what happens to all the clones in the event that one of them dies in public in such a way that it cannot be denied or covered up ?? do they change their appearances and disappear into secret lives? human cloning may be more common than we realize - i know of one successful project that began in the early 1950's and one of the clones is still alive and well - i wish i had maintained contact with the ones i knew in their teens and early 20's - it would be nice to know how things turned out for them
This sounds extremely creepy, but not unlikely. It is always good to hear Chris Thomas take on the situation. Thanks Chris.
this is actually a blog post not a comment... so... bot seemst to be chnical difficulties with my encoded settings here, may somebody please check, who's got access to those

Three men were caught in Tennessee and arrested in the murder of a valley veteran. Detectives say the suspects gunned down 36-year-old Brian Weathers on Halloween night in Mesa. "They ended a good life," said James Spangler, Brian Weathers' friend. Back when he drove a cab for a living, James Spangler picked up Brian Weathers and a far became a friend.
The two were both army veterans from Missouri and started spending time together. "Cared about other people, thought highly of other people and as it usually happens, people like to mistake kindness for weakness," said Spangler. Spangler called FOX 10 because he was so shocked to see that his friend Brian had been killed. He didn't know he could have gotten in this kind of trouble, the only thing he could think of was that Brian typically carried a lot of cash. "I knew that he had would get money from his family and I think what probably happened was he was robbed and murdered for the money he got from his mother," said Spangler. That's Spangler's assumption after Brian was found shot and left to die in the driveway of this Mesa home, but police still don't know the motive. "Right now, I think there's maybe some limited information because they're still waiting to be interviewed, as far as the circumstance of the incident," said Mesa police Det. Dian Williams.22-year-old Zackary Burgess, 22-year-old Joseph Holt and 18-year-old Brandon Simon are all being held in the Cheatham County Jail in Tennessee after a witness came forward linking them to the murder.If they are responsible, Spangler wants them to know who they took from this world. "They killed a good person, he had a good heart," said Spangler.
The three suspects will soon be extradited to Arizona to be formally charged for first degree murder.

Added May 14, 2013
A Sundress made using the Burda Cap Sleeve Pattern, yet again, as a starting off point with major alterations. The neckline was brought up and had darts and pleats added to it, the waist was brought up, the side seams were brought down to almost non-existent, shoulder seams were altered to allow for a button closer, and of course the back was completely cut up. With that much skin showing on the back, I wanted to add a fun and full twisted bubble skirt – which traditionally isn't found on adult dresses. But I loved the extra flair it gave to an otherwise open back. Lastly I made the button shoulder seam overlap and look off-kilter with the other shoulder, which plays in nicely with the whimsy of the dress fabric.

Bryant Release
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Despite a sold out crowd at the Chace Athletic Center, the Bryant University men's basketball came up just short, falling to LIU Brooklyn in a last-second thriller, 79-78, Saturday afternoon.
A pair of huge buckets from senior center Vlad Kondratyev (Niklayev, Ukraine) granted the Bulldogs (13-6, 6-2 Northeast Conference) the 69-65 lead at the 8:45 mark, but two-straight Blackbird (10-10, 5-3) scores tied the two teams, 69-69, with 7:35 to play.
The visitors found themselves ahead, 75-72, with four minutes left, but an Alex Francis (Harlem, N.Y.) bucket at 3:40 brought the Black and Gold within just one. Jamal Olasewere answered right back for the Blackbirds, extending their lead to three, 77-74. Another Olasewere tip-in pushed the LIU lead up to five, but the Bulldogs responded in the form of a Francis layup, cutting the advantage to just three once again, 79-76, with 30 seconds remaining in the contest.
Off a missed 3-pointer with under than 10 seconds left, Francis corralled the rebound and laid the ball in hoop, absorbing the contact and drawing a foul in the process to bring the Bulldogs within a single point, 79-78, with 1.2 ticks left on the clock. With the chance to tie it at the line, though, Francis was unable to convert as the Bulldogs fell just short, 79-78, suffering just their sixth loss of the season.
Sophomore guard Dyami Starks (Duluth, Minn.) led all scorers with 25 points (22 in the first half) and three rebounds, while Francis put up 16 points and grabbed a game-high eight boards. Senior point guard Frankie Dobbs (Berea, Ohio) finished with 11 points and eight assists in 40 minutes of play.
Olasewere paced the Blackbirds with 19 points, seven rebounds and three assists, while junior Jason Brickman posted a double-double, finishing with 11 points and 10 assists. Senior Booker Hucks and freshman E.J. Reed added some quality minutes off the bench, registering 14 and 15 points, respectively.
After shooting a scorching 62 percent in the first half, the Bulldogs cooled off a bit in the second to finish the game at a 52 percent clip. The Blackbirds shot just as well, closing the contest with 53 percent shooting. LIU dominated the paint, outscoring Bryant, 46-32, while grabbing 10 more rebounds, 35-25. The visitors were boosted by some great bench play, adding 33 points from their reserves.
Behind the roars of a packed crowd at the Chace Athletic Center, the Bulldogs jumped out to a quick 11-7 advantage, missing just one of their first six shot attempts through the opening four minutes. The Blackbirds weathered the early Bulldog attack, earning their first lead of the day, 13-12, at the 13:49 mark, but a pair of emphatic dunks from Francis edged the Bulldogs back in front, 20-18, with 10 minutes to play until the break.
The teams traded the lead back-and-forth through the six-minute mark until three-straight deep balls from Starks pushed Bryant into a 41-30 lead with four minutes remaining in the first frame. After a pair of buckets from the visitors, Starks struck again, nailing his sixth 3-pointer of the half to grant the Bulldogs a 10-point lead, 44-34, with two minutes remaining until halftime.
A barrage of baskets from both sides closed the high-scoring half with Bryant leading, 49-42. Starks led all scorers at the break with 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field, including hitting 6-of-8 from deep. Dobbs chipped in with nine points and six assists in 20 minutes, while Francis added eight points and a pair of boards. Reed paced the Blackbirds with 13 points on 4-of-4 shooting, while Hucks put up 11 points in nine minutes.
Bryant struggled to find its groove in the opening minutes of the second half and the Blackbirds took advantage, opening the final 20 minutes on a 12-1 run for a 54-50 advantage before a Joe O'Shea (Burlington, Vt.) bucket at the 15:29 mark finally halted the Blackbird attack.
The evenly matched squads each took their turn with the lead as the up-and-down contest found the game knotted at 63-63 with 11 minutes remaining.
The Bulldogs will have just a few days to regroup before they hit the road for a pair of games in New Jersey, taking on Fairleigh Dickinson on Thursday (7 p.m.) and Monmouth on Saturday (7 p.m.).

(WBIR) A Harriman man is lucky to be alive after a crash Thursday morning left his car smashed between a concrete dividing wall and a tractor-trailer.
The accident happened just before 7:30 Thursday morning on I-40 near the Campbell Station Road exit in West Knox County.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Michael Marchland, 49, of Rocky Point, New York, was driving a big rig hauling lawn mowers. He was traveling east in the center lane of the interstate, when troopers say he merged suddenly into the left lane.
Michael A. Pinkerton, 52, of Harriman, was driving in the left lane when the truck suddenly veered toward him. The truck hit the concrete barrier, crushing Pinkerton's Toyota Camry into an unrecognizable chunk of metal.
Amazingly, Pinkerton was pulled from the crushed car with minor injuries. He was transported by ambulance to UT Medical Center, and has since been released.
Marchland was charged with failure to exercise due care. He was not injured.

RICHMOND, VA (AP) - A major component of Gov. Bob McDonnell's education reform package is on its way to the House of Delegates floor.
The House Education Committee voted 14-6 Wednesday to advance legislation that would direct the state Department of Education to develop a system of grading public schools on an A to F scale. Republican Del. Tag Greason of Loudoun County said an easy-to-understand way of rating school performance will encourage parents to get more involved.
The committee also endorsed an administration-backed proposal to create an Opportunity Educational Institution to take over failing schools.
Legislation allowing schools to open before Labor Day without getting permission from the Department of Education advanced to the House floor, and a bill to require so-called "resource officers" in every school was sent to the Appropriations Committee.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Dr. Jayaraj Salimath is no stranger to performing weight loss surgery.
The most common surgery people often think of is gastric bypass but over the past eight years or so, a new and safer surgery has hit the operating room called sleeve gastrectomy.
"We remove about 80 to 90 percent of the stomach and we leave the natural pathway of the food from the mouth to the anus in tact," said Mid Illini Surgical Associates Dr. Jayaraj Salimath.
So what is the difference between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass?
"We cut the stomach into two parts, one part will be considered a pouch, the other part where the food does not even go into, and then we reroute the small intestine and bypass the normal digestive pathway," added Salimath.
Dr. Salimath says while the two surgeries essentially do the same thing, gastric sleeve is safer in the long term.
"They don't have too many issues with kidney stones or vitamin deficiencies compared to gastric bypass and the risk of bowel blockage is less," he said.
That is why one of Dr. Salimath's patients, Dara Entwistle, chose to go with gastric sleeve over a year ago.
"I've been battling weight all my life. As a kid, I wasn't a chunky child, I was fit, very active, but I have the German built farmer type if you wanna say, and after I had my first two kids in my 20's or early 20's, weight was an issue with me," said Entwistle.
For Entwistle, diet and exercise were just not enough. She said she even resorted to extreme measures to shed the pounds.
"I would be on the Jenny Craig diet, I would be on Weight Watchers, you name it, every fad diet, I even took prescription medicine, and I did not want to be on that all my life; however, about five years ago, I did turn to laxatives and sudafed," she said.
So she researched the procedure and decided to go under the knife for gastric sleeve surgery.
Did it work? Did she experience any complications? We will find out Tuesday night at 10 in Part 2 of our weight loss series.

Scrap the Edinburgh trams project
The Edinburgh Trams project was never designed to help the people of Edinburgh. We believe that the money wasted would have been better spent on services that benefit the patrons in Edinburgh in general, such as access to an NHS dentist, investement in our schools and hospitals and affordable housing. We call upon The City of Edinburgh Council and the Scottisg Government to scrap this white elephant immediately and to re-invest funds in more socially acceptable projects.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Documentary, New Releases, Fandom, Distribution, Exhibition, DIY/Filmmaking, Home Entertainment, Movie Marketing, Features, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalWhoa, here's a surprise. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that the highly successful Jackass franchise is sending its next film, Jackass 2.5, directly to the internet. It will skip the theaters entirely (though it was originally rumored to be going straight to DVD). The film will be online, free of charge courtesy of Blockbuster Video, for two weeks starting December 19th of this year. You can view the film at blockbuster.jackassworld.com. Then the movie moves to DVD and iTunes, as "part of a light-speed reinvention of the customary distribution-window chain. The domestic release strategy also will be replicated internationally in early 2008, but with different distribution partners." Jackassworld.com will now be the permanent online spot for all things Jackass, with new content due to start February 9th, 2008.
I've got to say, I find this news incredibly disappointing. Now, why would I say that a free movie is a disappointment? Because I effing love the Jackass films! And the reason I love them so much is because they are an absolute blast to watch in the theater! You get a big, rowdy, preferably tipsy crowd together, you go on a Friday night, and you laugh your asses off. It's like Borat (which I would argue Jackass paved the way for). It's just not the same on the small screen, and it's best as a shared experience. Jackass 2.5 is only 64 minutes, which I guess could be part of the reason it's not hitting theaters. But...couldn't they just add fifteen more minutes of Jackassery on tape? I don't know, I'll watch the thing of course, but it's going to be mighty depressing sitting in front of my computer watching something that used to be an exhilarating, hilarious, disgusting highlight of my theatergoing year. Then again, there's always Jackass 3 (which will begin shooting early next year) to look forward to. What do you think?

Paradise Garden Supima® Cotton Shower Curtain 4 4
Perfect, Cheerful, Modern Yet Classy: Happiness! LOVE THIS SHOWER CURTAIN. It really does make me HAPPY. Cheerful without being overpowering, and feels fresh. Goes with many styles or colors (for towels etc. in bathroom.) Never realized how often the large expanse of Shower Curtain in bathroom is first thing seen in morning & last thing viewed before bedtime. Also surprised to have waited so long in life to have a shower curtain that isn't a plain, vanilla, solid color. If you think you might want this, BUY IT. Even better than looks in catalog & on website, which is very good indeed. Not the cheapest shower curtain, & you will need a plastic liner too. But it's well worth the price for the 180-degree change to entire room. March 31, 2014
Gorgeous Fabric and Print The most impressive aspect of this curtain is the drape. It's the gorgeous, heavy, satiny drape of high-quality. The colors in this curtain give you a wide range of coordinating options, and the print is pretty but modern and goes well with our largely mid-century modern decor; it softens it a bit. I have loved looking behind me in my bathroom mirror and seeing this beautiful curtain. February 11, 2014
Gorgeous Shower Curtain This is absolutely gorgeous. The moment I saw it I knew I wanted it. It looks beautiful in my new bathroom. I was afraid I would have to make myself a shower curtain as I have not seen any that I like. This is so classic and beautiful. Love, love, love it. February 1, 2014
Elegant design Cheery design helps chase the winter blues away and usher in spring. I later ordered blue bath mats and hand towels to compliment the shower curtain. February 1, 2014

Hatsan AT P1 PCP air pistol: Part 3
by Tom Gaylord, a.k.a. B.B. Pelletier
Today, we'll look at the performance of the Hatsan AT P1 PCP air pistol for accuracy at 25 yards. It took a long time between this test and the last one because this gun is too loud to discharge inside the house. I had to do it for the velocity test and my ears are still ringing. I waited for a day at the range to test the gun for accuracy.
I mounted a vintage Weaver K-856 scope on the gun for this test. It's a fixed 8x scope with a 56mm objective lens. I thought it would be clear enough at 25 yards (parallax set for 100 yards), but it turned out to be fuzzy. I will change scopes for the next test.
The vintage Weaver scope was powerful, but it didn't focus as close as 25 yards. It'll be changed for the next test.
Before I left the house, I filled the gun to 3,000 psi with the Hill pump. You may remember that this pistol has a proprietary Hatsan fill probe, and I wanted to install it on something I could leave it on for a while. My carbon fiber tank is too busy with other guns, so I dedicated the Hill for this job. Because the AT P1 has such a small reservoir, I felt it would be okay to fill the pistol this way. This is the problem with proprietary fill couplings — they have to be installed on something, making it impossible to use that fill device for your other pneumatic guns that have universal Foster fittings.
After filling the gun, I looked at the Hatsan tank gauge. It read about 50 bar, even though I had just put in 206 bar. I knew it was full, so I left it alone. The next morning, the gauge needle was up to 100 bar, but it never did read correctly. That caused a problem at the range when I shot the gun down too far. It was then that I learned that the gauge needle bears no relation to how much air is in the tank.
I started out shooting a group of 5 Crosman Premiers. The first shot landed a quarter-inch below the next 4. The total group size was 0.678 inches, but 4 of those shots went into 0.322 inches. As it turned out, that was the best group of the day.
This group of 5 Crosman Premiers shows some promise; but for 25 yards, it's only average. It was the best group of the test!
The trigger-pull was both too long and too heavy for the best in precision. I can normally work around almost anything, but this time the trigger-pull was a real hinderance to good shooting.
I shot the next 5 Premiers at a fresh target after adjusting the scope down. This time, 5 shots went into 0.993 inches, which is considerably larger than the first group. It alerted me to the fact that there may not be 10 good shots on a charge of air.
This group of 5 Crosman Premiers is not so good. It was the second group after the fill. Top hole has 2 pellets.
The pressure gauge on the gun now reads about 180 bar, so I thought there were another 10 good shots in the gun. It wasn't until later that I discovered the gauge doesn't read the pressure correctly.
The next 10 shots were JSB Exact 15.9-grain Jumbos. They landed in a group measuring 2.093 inches between centers. That certainly isn't a good group — especially for just 25 yards. This group has too many shots and was shot with too little air pressure in the tank, but even then the shots are so scattered that I doubt it's the right pellet for this pistol. But because I don't know that for sure, I'll try this pellet again in the next test.
Ten JSB Jumbo 15.9-grain pellets were all over the place at 25 yards. Group measures 2.093 inches.
I filled the tank again and changed to Beeman Kodiaks. This time, 10 pellets went into a group measuring 1.464 inches. The last shot went far to the left of the main group. Because it landed in the white, I was able to see it hit the paper. That was the tip-off that 10 shots were too many — even at only 25 yards.
Ten Beeman Kodiaks was obviously too many shots for a single fill. Group measures 1.464 inches.
I'd wanted to shoot 10-shot groups, but the AT P1 doesn't seem to have enough air for 10 good shots on a single charge. According to the chronograph testing I did on Part 2, it has air for about 7 shots, so I limited the next groups to that.
Seven Beeman Kodiaks were spread out wide. I was losing my edge on the day! Group measures 0.999 inches between centers.
Seven Premiers did not do well. Group measures 1.675 inches between centers.
The learning curve this day was too steep for me to be satisfied with these results. I'd lost my edge toward the end of the session, and it wasn't worth pushing on. I'll return for a second try at 25 yards with different pellets. And I'll give those JSB Jumbos a second chance. If I can't do a lot better than this, I won't bother trying to shoot the pistol at 50 yards.
The trigger-pull on the AT P1 pistol is too long and heavy for the best accuracy. Also, the scope needs to be changed to give the pistol its best chance to do well. Hopefully, I'll be able to find another good pellet next time and these problems will disappear. As powerful as this air pistol is, it'll make a good hunting airgun if it can hit what it shoots at.

Continue to be impressed with your ability to "press on" with testing of an airgun when all signs point south.
Wish you were closer so we could talk about the 6mm ppc. I'm in a new dimension.
Kevin, I have been wondering about that 6 mm ppc you mentioned awhile back .
Robert & B.B.,
The sako custom 6mm ppc isn't mine yet. I've shot it twice. Neither trip to the range was perfect but I'm amazed at what this gun can do in wind at 100 yards. It's been too windy to shoot farther. Up to this point in my experience a custom 22-250 with a canjar trigger shot the best groups in wind for me at 100 yards. The 6mm ppc beat those groups the first time I shot it.
Been shooting the owners handloads with 65 gr vmax. Found some 58 gr vmax this week and I'm taking them up to my cabin and we're going to load some of those with his H322. I'm planning on getting to the range very early saturday and hope for no wind.
I've heard that the 6mm rounds are really the ultimate in flat trajectory and accuracy. And Sako is a very respected name. You sound like you have a winner.
I must agree, Kevin. B.B.'s tenacity with wanting to give this gun so much time and effort is admirable indeed. Maybe it's because he can see potential, when I see a dog. If I were in the market for something new and different, I would have to give this pistol a pass. This gun looks all wrong to me. At first glance, I thought the handle was either made for a child, or this had to be the biggest air pistol I have laid eyes on. At over four pounds, it would take a big, strong person to shoot it like a pistol. Some folk comment it would be a better shooter with a shoulder stock. However, that would make the Hatsan AT P1 more of a rifle then a pistol. The real deal breaker for me, was learning there is only enough air for 7-8 good shots. With similar pistols, such as the Marauder, getting three times the shot count, 7-8 shots are unacceptable in today's market. Oh yes, there is the problem of a decibel level exceeding that at a 70′s Pink Floyd concert. And, I don't think a better scope is going to tighten these groups by much, if at all.
I have always wanted Hatsan to produce a real good gun. I think the potential is there as far as manufacture is concerned. They just need some R+D people who know their way around airguns, and will ask the people in the trenches what they would like to see in a new Hatsan. In todays tight, competitive world, Hatsan had better step up their game, or they will be left behind the many brands producing accurate, affordable guns that folks are proud to own. Of coarse, I might be wrong about everything I say, and find they are producing guns that people are willing to buy. Maybe there are a lot of people willing to settle for less. There is nothing new under the sun.
Caio Titus
Hatsan seems to rely on eye candy and marketeering to sell their stuff to the newbies who have not experienced or read reviews about their shortcomings. Gamo and others do the same thing. With the airgun market growing as it is, there are new suckers being born every minute.
Now if I had the money, I would try to pick one of these up at a good used price. I would yank that funky stock off, change and shroud the barrel, maybe do a little something with that tank, fiddle with the trigger and make a bullpup stock for it.
As a pistol it is a disaster. It might be alright for laying in the seat of your pickemup truck and popping things along the roadside, but as you pointed out, who is going to want to carry that honker around?
7 good shots per fill is ridiculous. If the .22 is getting 7, the .25 must be getting what 4 or 5? With a 10 shot mag!?!
The ones we're getting here are shooting under 500fps so we should have a decent number of shots per fill. Would it make it more accurate?
Looks like too much work for too little return. My sole fill station is a generation 2 Hill pump. If I had to fill a gun after 7 shots, it would not be worth the effort. My HW100 gets about 40 good shots on a fill, but while it's my favorite gun, it gets very little use because of the shot count.
Too bad, it looks like another Hatson bites the dust!
I don't yet own a pcp gun yet(!), and what has turned me off is performance like this. That and my reluctance to invest in fill equipment for guns in the common .177, .22, and .25 cal guns that only shoot pellets that are only a little heavier and shoot with only slightly more velocity like the other air guns. I see that there are some guys shooting .25 and ,30 cal cast bullets like the Saeco, RCBS, and Lyman bullets that I've shot for decades in my powder burners at very long range, like 500 yards. The ballistics are exactly the same as the firearms I use for fun shooting , foraging and small game hunting ( BTW, without excessive destruction of table game). They are the .25-20, 32-20. 32 mag. I have only shot stuff with those guns at 100-125 yards at most, as I'm in the east where woods ranges are generally short due to cover. I use them because they are effective and more flexible(as to velocity/power) than the ,22 and ,17 RF's , and cheaper to shoot if you cast the bullets yourself. Why doesn't Hatsan or the others build guns that use barrels that will shoot the same cast bullets that are commonly available for these firearms? I would put up with only five good shots and then would have the incentive to pony up and buy the compressor to fill it with. I know that there are custom makers who do this , but they can't make enough. IMO, that is the un -tapped market for pcp's in this country, considering current lack of availability of firearm handloading componets.
Off-topic, but my latest Pyramyd Air order was delivered yesterday, and I have been playing with my Walther MultiTac. Very cool. Someone mentioned that it is a bit heavy at 12 ounces. True. I purchased this to have in a glove box in my truck, not have on my belt. I LIKE the heft, along with the nubbled/grippy surface and the way it fills my hand.
With other multi-tools, a small complaint I have is how when you grasp it very firmly to apply some force to a fastener, the grips cut into my palm. Not the Walther! It is comfortable no matter what function I have tried.
Oh, and the pictures do not do it justice. The different textures of black give it a cool look. No other multi-tool of mine looks cool!
Just thought I'd share,
Heft is good. I bought a Cold Steel folder that is criticized for its weight. To me, it feels great and has what Goldfinger calls, a "divine heaviness."
This pistol seems to be headed for obscurity. It's one for BB's blooper page. A fine idea gone wrong through inattention by Hatsan. I'll echo the thoughts of you shouldn't have to change tanks in the middle of a mag, might get one of its for garage sale prices, and finally I think it's defective and you should ask for a new one that works….
Man, shooting that Hatsan would definitely have ruined my day. Also, I doubt it, but maybe the noise is bothering you because you don't expect it from airguns?
This is off topic but I was wondering if you are allowed to discuss products that Pyramyd Air does not carry and sell. I've been a bit of a bad boy and looking at some guns made by manufacturers Pyramyd Air does not carry. I am always looking at and watching reviews of airguns. To be clear, everything I own has come from Pyramyd Air and I currently have no plans to buy from anyone else. P.A. is wonderful to deal with. Do they ever do special orders?
I would be surprised if any other gun can out shoot my Air Arms rifles(S500, S400 MPR, TX200) but you never know. Until I know if it is ok I will not even mention the names of what I have been looking at. You and your blog will always remain my primary source of info since I have come to trust all of you implicitly.
I don't have any plans to buy anything in the near future (except for the Condor SS) because I want to get much better with what I have first. Especially at distances longer than 30 yards. I did order the MTM Gun Rest the other day. Primarily for zeroing in scopes. I still prefer holding PCP's in both hands when I shoot. I can't shake the notion that it gives me a better indication of my own skill. Bu that too could change.
Maybe there is something wrong with the air valve design. Striker hitting to hard or something. Making it use to much wasted air per shot.
That's why I asked previously if it had some kind of tuning adjustment.
Or possibly the port that's transferring the air charge may be to big if they were thinking power when they made the pistol.
The Crosman 1720T comes with 2 different transfer ports. One has a bigger inside diameter than the other. So if you put the smaller one in and it gives less power but more shots per fill. Put the bigger one in and get more power. But you get less shots per fill.
I don't guess the instruction manual that came with the Hatsan had any additional info about that.
Maybe there is something that can be done to increase the shots per fill but they should of had that worked out better from the factory in my opinion.
Oh forgot also. That would bother me if I had a gage that was working like you said above. I myself would rather not have a gage if it was working like that one.
R.I.P. to Jim Kelly, the African-American star of the Bruce Lee classic Enter the Dragon who passed away recently from cancer at age 67. He certainly had a heck of a build in the movie and on into later life. He also provided entertainment to millions such as with this classic cultural exchange with Mr. Han, the villainous renegade Shaolin monk:
Han: What you value is the competition.
Kelly: The winning.
Han: We all seek to win as we are born to life. It is losing that you must learn to prepare for.
Kelly: Uh-uh. Besides, when it comes, I won't even notice.
Han: Hm? How so?
Kelly: Cuz I'll be too busy looking good.
Thanks for yesterday's blog about "probes" on bolt action air guns. By "probe" I mean what ever part of the bolt pushes the pellet inside the barrel. The topic is even more diverse than I imagined. As always you provided fascinating details.
I don't really have a clue how you'd measure how well a "probe" fits a pellet, nor how you'd directly measure how well the pellet is centered with the boreline. But since the rifling is engraved on the pellet, I'd suspect that "small" differences in how the pellet is seated are possible. For example the "probe" for a given rifle could seat one pellet +/- 0.5 degrees and another +/- 0.1 degrees. Such a difference in alignment with the boreline would have a noticeable effect on good airguns like the Airforce Condor or the Benjamin Marauder (With a good rifleman too of course!!).
Speaking of parallax, would a scope with 30 yard parallax likely be pretty clear between 10 and 50 yards?
This is the problem with proprietary fill couplings — they have to be installed on something, making it impossible to use that fill device for your other pneumatic guns that have universal Foster fittings.
This is where one considers putting a universal coupling on the source tank, and creating a set of fill fittings by putting a nipple compatible with the tank coupling on one end, and the fill fitting on the other end.
That's what I ended up doing when I bought the Marauder — I bought an AirForce compatible nipple, an M-M threaded section, and a Crosman compatible coupler. True that makes for a somewhat long heavy hose end: AirForce coupler, M-M, Crosman coupler… But means one pump can be used for both fittings.
I must agree with edith 100% they should take mabe 1 out of 10 from the production line and shoot it 20 – 30 times to get an idea on how assembly and general quality is running. then pick 1 out of 5 from the group pulled and shoot it real hard. just my humble opinion

A workout loving mother of three from Los Angeles is still defending herself against social media users.
She took a picture of herself with her young sons, posted it with a caption that reads, "What's your excuse?"
Maria Kang, 32, says she doesn't have any regrets because she puts herself on the list of priorities everyday.
She works out, looks good, and she had hoped the picture and post would be inspiration for other working moms.
Not so.
There are a lot of haters out there on this one but Maria Kang says isn't listening.
"I was just showing mothers that if I can do it, so can you. Of course I'm not saying that you need to necessarily look like me or have the abs that I have but I'm saying you should be healthy and put yourself as a priority," Kang said.
Kang says who knew those three words, "What's your excuse," would set working mothers around the world off.
"It's a very thought-provoking question and that's a pretty profound image so I can understand where people are coming from. I mean they see the caption "What's your excuse" and they really absorbed it and took it however they wanted to," Kang said.
Kang first posted the photo wearing a sports bar and boy shorts with her three sons last year. Eight months after having her youngest child. Kang re-posted it after she noticed some moms going postal on Facebook and Twitter.
"Women should really support each other. We should really celebrate healthy moms, healthy family. I think that we are struggling a lot as a nation with our obesity and with being overweight and also with being a mother. It's not easy. I understand because I'm a working mom and it's really hard to keep fitness and even myself as a priority so I understand the guilt and the frustration and maybe the challenges that women are facing and maybe my picture kinda made them upset because they were maybe stressed or depressed at the time and felt like I wasn't being very fair," Kang said.
Her photo got 20,000 comments, most of them were positive and complimentary. Others Kang says were offensive, angry and accused the woman who works out an hour six days a week, of "fat-shaming."
"I'm not going to apologize for who I am. I work really hard. I mean there's something to be said for dedicated to your family and personal health," Kang said.
Kang works for a non-profit workout center in California and her husband doesn't work and stays home watching the three kids while she works and gets her workout on.

Sisi heads North
9:00am Friday 7th February 2014 in Sport
Former Tottonians junior David Sisi has moved north.
The former England Under-20s player, who turned 21 this week, has signed for Leeds Carnegie on loan from Bath until the end of the season.
The 6ft 5in back row signed for Bath last year after playing in the successful England U20s side which won the RBS Six Nations and Junior World Championship.
Versatile Sisi can play at both blindside and openside flanker as well as at number eight.
After suffering an ankle injury in pre-season, he made his Bath debut against Cardiff in the LV= Cup and followed this up with a start in a Cup tie against Leicester a week later.
Prior to his move to The Rec, he had played at London Irish. He made 12 appearances for the Exiles and became their youngest-ever debutant aged 17.
Sisi said: "I'm excited to be joining the club and helping them in their bid to achieve a top four finish and hopefully promotion.
"It's an ambitious club and I'm looking forward to the challenge of playing with them in the Championship."

An Enzo Ferrari, which is valued at $600,000, was severely damaged after a crash on Interstate 95 in Stamford on Monday morning.
Leonardo G. Garcia, of New Rochelle, New York, was driving the Enzo Ferrari on the northbound side of I-95 near the entrance ramp for Exit 7 around 8:30 a.m.
The vehicle fish tailed to the left and then right, according to police, then crashed into a bridge wall on the right shoulder of the highway.
Police said the Enzo Ferrari spun out across the three lanes of the highway and crashed into a Jersey barrier.
"It then slid up against the Jersey barrier backwards in a northerly direction and came to an uncontrolled stop in the median facing south," police said in a release Monday.
Garcia suffered a cut on the right side of his head and was taken to the Stamford Hospital with minor injuries, police said.
No other injuries were reported and no other vehicles were damaged.
Garcia was given a ticket for failing to drive in established lane.

Controversy erupted in the IPL match between Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians here today with the latter team's captain Harbhajan Singh having a heated and prolonged argument with the field umpires who committed a mistake in not giving a home side's Kumar Sangakkara out.
The incident happened in the 13th over of the Deccan Chargers' innings after they opted to bat first. Sangakkara was clearly out off the bowling of Munaf Patel though the field umpires thought it otherwise initially before referring the decision to the third umpire.
The third ball of Munaf Patel's third over and 13th of Deccan Chargers' innings saw Sangakkara dragging the ball onto the off-stump with the bails dislodged and the ball hit the wickets for the second time after ricocheting from Mumbai wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik.
Field umpires AK Chowdhury of India and JD Cloete of South Africa consulted each other but thought that the ball came off Karthik's pads and ruled Sangakkara not out.
That led to the drama as an angry-looking Harbhajan came rushing in to the umpires and apparently asked Cloete why he did not go upstairs for a third umpire decision. But in spite of the Mumbai players insisting that Cloete check with the third umpire, the South African was adamant and refused to comply with the request.
A heated argument ensued between Harbhajan and the field umpires with Munaf joining in and play stopped for more than five minutes. Harbhajan was seen arguing with the umpires in an aggressive manner.
Deccan captain Sangakkara also had words with the umpires who finally referred the decision to the third umpire. The third umpire then gave Sangakkara out as was expected and play resumed.

Crackdown due on Croydon street drug dealers
11:20am Thursday 13th September 2012 in News By Nick Hitchens, Assistant Editor
Police are calling on residents aware of drug dealing to speak out ahead of a new offensive against dealers.
Officers in Croydon are set to launch a mass crackdown on drug dealing, named Operation hawk, in the borough, but want those who know of dealing hotspots, or individuals, to help with their intelligence collecting.
Operation Hawk is specifically aimed at targeting street level dealing, on top of the investigative work that goes into tackling high-level dealers.
Superintendent Rob Atkin, Croydon deputy borough commander said: "Operation Hawk is a renewed emphasis on local policing teams tackling street level drug dealing and associated crime using local community intelligence. We urge the public to come forward with information about who is dealing drugs or committing crime in their area.
"Drug dealing damages communities. It generates crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour.
"Community intelligence passed to us will be dealt with as quickly as possible and carefully assessed before, and if, any action is taken. We will then tell communities what action we have taken to address these issues.

Poured from a bomber into a weizen glass. My second crack at a beer from the Granville Island "black notebook" series and a good one for the bitterly cold weather we are experiencing right now. This brew is on the light end for a weizenbock, a cloudy yellowish brown almost like dilute rootbeer, with a vast billowing tan head that went right over the rim when I got inpatient and poured too aggressively about halfway through. I admit that the impatience was likely due to a desire to get through the experience sooner rather than later. The aroma was fine, the expected medicinal banana and clove smells popping out along with a general weizen yeastiness and some boozy rum notes. The palate was an odd combination of sweetness, spice, sour wheat malt, and aggressive astringent alcohol ... The malts were bold and dry, a nice wheaty bite but accompanied by a whole drove of phenols that included pleasant clove but also less desirable bandage and flinty mineral notes. The latter work well in some other styles but were not particularly pleasant here; sames goes for the orange rind and pine hop flavors that build on the tongue. Trying to see the merit of such aggressive hopping in a weizen but its not clicking for me this evening. Everything (malts, phenols, solvent-like booze, hops) is jagged, coarse, and medicinal, and to top it all off, the finish is bone dry, carbolic, and woody, like someone let this sit in fresh oak casks for a while. All over the map and the rich sweet complexity one gets in a German brew like Schneider Aventinus is solely lacking here. Moderate to high carbonation and quite thin; fails to coat the mouth and warms you up in a fashion that evokes pepper spray as opposed to a pleasant spicy burn. No way dudes, this one was a clear miss for me after the enticing aroma held some promise.

650ml bottle, the latest in the Black Notebook series, recipes allegedly from the brewmaster's notebook. That goat don't look burly, it just looks banged-up. Surly, maybe, but then that name might get ya sued.
This beer pours a dark, murky orange brick colour, with two fingers of puffy, tightly foamy, and somewhat bubbly tan head, which leaves some yawning cavern mouth lace around the glass as things duly sink away.
It smells of sharp, spicy wheat grain, orange zest, banana chips, bready caramel malt, coriander/clove, and leafy, kind of perfumed hops. The taste is caramel/toffee malt right up front, a lesser gritty wheatiness, banana pudding, candied orange rind, sweet cloves, and earthy, leafy hops, with a mild booziness warming up its engines.
The bubbles are light and frothy, the body a sturdy medium weight, and actually quite smooth, a certain creaminess fighting to get its name heard. It finishes on the sweet side, the caramel and wheat malts not backing down, while the orange and banana fruitiness continues unabated. Ok, except maybe for the edgy alcohol, which manifests in a slightly metallic manner.
A little unbalanced seeming, the sweetness and alcohol at loggerheads, without consideration being given to a simple hop moderator. Doh. Still, drinkable enough, though I would suggest cracking this with a friend (ok, drinking buddy), as if the sugar doesn't get you, the ABV surely will.

A: Dark copper color, slightly opaque, about two fingers of off-white head
S: Strong wheat malt aroma, very subtle fruityness and spicyness, some caramel aromas in background
T: Big, bold wheat malt flavor, the wheat malt is so strong it is hard to pick-up anything else, but you do get a little clove-spicyness that lingers, maybe even some subtle fruityness that comes out with the residual sweetness
M: Medium body, well carbonated, quite smooth and a slightly pungent, malt finish with some alcohol warmth
O: Very bold wheat malt aroma to go along with the taste, you do get the sweetness you would expect from the style, there is a noticeable hop bitterness but the wheat malt totally dominates this brew, very bold and quite good.

If you are tuned in to social media, you are smarter than most people looking to market online. You don't have to be an Albert Einstein to learn how to effectively create marketing content in social media space. It's about developing a systematic and simple way to give you a good grasp of the power of effective online marketing.
Creating stellar content for your marketing strategy is great, but it doesn't distribute itself. You need vehicles for people to pass your content along, converse over its controversies, discuss its merits, tweet it, blog it, delicious bookmark it, mash it, or even Digg it. All of this is where social media comes to play.
Develop an Online Position
Looking to find more customers? Become someone that is worth doing business with.
It is about developing authority and not about being a guru. Your audience wants a smart, cool friend that understands how stuff works. They want someone that leads by example and shares experiences. They want a trustworthy person whose words mean something to them.
When in doubt about your content, remember Paul Newman's axiom – "Always take your work seriously; never take yourself seriously." You can do this by showing that you truly know your stuff, but this doesn't mean that your readers want a lecture.
Be Smart; Sell Smart.
Successful salespeople know that a customer needs to know, like and trust you before they will buy. This is why content marketing is so effective. Developing great content buys you time to build a trusting relationship. Be sure to use this time wisely.
Build a content net that supports a sale and many sales long after. Use content to address underlying objections that may keep someone from buying a particular product or service. Use your content to tell an interesting story about how others have benefitted from the offer. Use proven persuasion techniques to show your readers how much they need your product or service.
Keep the balance right. Use your content to build desire for your product or service and to create a strong relationship with your audience – then ask for the sale.
Lots of great ideas shared. Nice job, DJ!

The youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombings is being remembered as a vivacious boy who loved to run and climb.
Eight-year-old Martin Richard was among the three people killed in the explosions on Monday. His mother and sister were also badly injured.
"The daughter has grievous injuries but is stable at this point," said U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, who met with the family overnight. "The mom also has serious head injuries and an eye injury."
A candle burned on the stoop of the family's single-family home in the city's Dorchester section Tuesday, and the word "Peace" was written in chalk on the front walkway.
The children's father is the director of a local community group. In a statement released on Tuesday, he thanked family, friends, and strangers who have offered thoughts and prayers.
"I ask that you continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin. We also ask for your patience and for privacy as we work to simultaneously grieve and recover," the statement read.
A photograph of the young boy, which is circulating around the Internet, shows he is holding a sign which reads, "No more hurting people" and "Peace" and was reportedly made for a school assignment after the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to The New York Daily News.
SEE PHOTO on MyFoxBoston.com
The photo prompted Trayvon Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, to release a statement through their attorney Benjamin Crump, saying, "We have come to understand that the peace sign that Martin is holding in a photo being circulated throughout the media, was created in response to a lesson by his teacher about the death of our son. From our family to yours', we are praying for you, thinking about you and will remember your son for the rest of our lives."

OSTRANDER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Animal-welfare officials have removed 55 unhealthy horses, ponies and donkeys from a property in Fillmore County.
The Animal Humane Society said Friday the animals were suffering from untreated wounds, severe malnutrition and other health issues. A number of partially decomposed carcasses were also found on the Fillmore County property.
The group says 12 horses in the greatest need of care were taken to the University of Minnesota Large Animal Hospital in St. Paul for testing. As of Friday morning, four horses had to be euthanized due to health complications.
Prosecutors could use the results of the testing to determine whether criminal charges are warranted.
The Animal Humane Society is working with the Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation and other rescue organizations to treat the animals and find homes for them.

Ag Research Bill Introduced in Both Chambers to Spur Innovation
Legislation has been introduced in the House and Senate to help spur new agricultural research by leveraging private dollars to create charitable partnerships between universities and private entities. The Charitable Agricultural Research Act was introduced by Senate Ag Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow and Committee Member John Thune of South Dakota in the Senate and Representatives Devin Nunes of California and Ron Kind of Wisconsin in the House. The measure would amend the tax code to allow for the creation of new charitable, tax-exempt agricultural research organizations. Stabenow says innovation is critical in protecting the health and welfare of our rural communities and expanding our agriculture economy. She notes American agriculture outpaces and outperforms every other nation in the world because of decades of research that allow us to be more efficient with fewer resources. Stabenow calls this a win-win effort that builds on decades of success and momentum by continuing to pursue new research - and doing so in a cost-effective way by engaging the private sector.
Given the current tight budget environment - Thune says Congress needs to enact innovative legislation like this that encourages private donors to help meet shortfalls in agriculture research funding. He says the bill will provide a new investment tool for donors wishing to dedicate their own resources to ag research. Representative Kind is a strong supporter of reforming the tax code to help spur economic growth. He says this bill does that by bolstering the agriculture industry. He says the legislation will help create incentives for charitable donations so the connection between the private sector and the agriculture research industry can be strengthened and American can stay on the cutting edge of agricultural innovation and production.
Farm productivity has risen 158-percent since 1948 according to USDA's Economic Research Service. The increase is attributed to research - by implementing new changes in the efficiency of farming practices and the use of agricultural technology. Since the 1970s - ag research funding has become stagnant and fallen far behind other federal agencies. Agricultural scientists warn failing to invest in agricultural research could spell disaster for the future of American food security and safety. The Charitable Agricultural Research Act seeks to address these challenges through the creation of agricultural research organizations that would work in conjunction with agricultural and land-grant colleges and universities to conduct research in the field of agriculture.

For the technical enterprise, Cray also offers the Cray CS300 cluster supercomputer. Both the XC30-AC and the CS300 are built for the same type of workload, though the CS300 offers more flexibility in terms of substituting different hardware and system software, whereas the XC30-AC offers a more tightly integrated package that reduces the amount of system administration needed, Bolding said.
The XC30-AC runs Intel Xeon processors and can range in size from one to eight cabinets, for a maximum of 1,024 sockets. Each cabinet consists of 16 vertical compute blades. The system can execute from 22 to 176 teraflops (trillion floating point operations per second). It runs on the Cray Linux operating system and comes with a number of HPC (high-performance computing) application development tools. It is designed to accommodate the computational needs of 100 to 1,000 users at one time. System cost ranges from $500,000 to $3 million.
