Hero doctor Natalie Roberts has revealed that the hellish conditions in the disaster-hit Philippines were made worse by the lingering stench of death.
Corpses littered Tacloban's streets for weeks after a typhoon wreaked havoc on the archipelago.
In one field, on the outskirts of the city, 1,400 dead lay in black body bags as flies swarmed.
The scale of the disaster left the population overwhelmed.
"People didn't know where to start with the clean-up operation," Natalie said. "They felt totally overwhelmed and I can understand why.
"We put our bags down in the disused hotel, which was also home to a number of displaced families, and headed out to the site the team had chosen for the inflatable hospital."
Natalie was part of a Médecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) team. They picked their way through the streets.
"About a metre had been cleared in the middle of the road – about enough room for a motorbike," the 34-year-old said.
"The smell was atrocious. It's a putrid smell and what made it horrific was that you knew it was the smell of dead bodies. This smell lingered for about two more weeks – three weeks after the typhoon. You could even smell it on the seventh floor of our hotel."

Natalie arrived in Tacloban on Tuesday, December 17, after spending nine months in Syria helping children.
"As soon as the town came into view from the air, the level of devastation became apparent," she said.
The airport is on land that is jutting out into the sea, so the surge came from both sides, washing right over the airport. The runway was clear but was surrounded by wrecked cars, tin roofing, broken wood, aid packages and military planes.
"Driving away from the airport it looked pretty post-apocalyptic," said Natalie, from Wrexham.
"Few buildings were identifiable as houses, most were just reduced to debris. It was really sad to see people picking through the ruins of their houses, trying to salvage something."
"One man sat alone clutching a cuddly toy. I can only imagine he was sitting where his house had been and he'd lost his family," Natalie said.
When they arrived at the city's Bethany Hospital debris was piled as high as the first floor. The building was badly damaged.
"During the typhoon the storm surge washed right through it," Natalie said.
"The rooms were covered in mud and the roof had blown off. We tried to salvage a couple of rooms to run an operating theatre, sterilisation and x-ray services, as well as the maternity and a neonatal unit.
"It is unusual for MSF to run a baby unit in an emergency project, but we expected complicated deliveries and we also knew patients might not have anywhere else to go."
The emergency room, outpatients and inpatients departments would be in tents. But the site needed to be cleared.
"Everyone else got involved, including the Filipinos," Natalie said.
"We had surgeons and the medical team mucking in – nobody said that it wasn't in their job description."
They would work from 5am until midnight, then dine on noodles by the light of their head torches – there was no electricity or water at the hotel. On one occasion Natalie slept for just three hours out of 60. Finally, the hospital was open for business.
"Things weren't running perfectly, there was a lot of running out of things and making do, but we were all happy the hospital was finally up and running," Natalie said.
"The Filipino people are really used to the idea of medical missions, so it didn't take long for patients to start coming. We saw the usual conditions you would expect after a typhoon – wounds from floating debris, upper respiratory tract infections and worsening of chronic diseases."
Patients with hypertension and diabetes had lost medication in the typhoon and supplies were ruined.
Serious wounds were made worse by wading through filthy water.
"We sometimes even had to amputate because of some badly infected wounds," Natalie said.
"We also saw many cases of pre-eclampsia – high blood pressure in pregnancy – which can be very dangerous."
Natalie believed the number of pre-eclampsia cases was higher because of the stress of the typhoon.
"One patient sticks in my mind, a 24-year-old man who had a small wound on his foot which had become infected. By the time he came to the hospital he had gas gangrene, which was rapidly spreading.
"We recommended that he have an amputation above his knee. If he did not he would die," Natalie said.
"We spent weeks giving tetanus vaccinations in mobile clinics, emergency room and the outpatient department, but we were prepared for clinical tetanus cases.
"One particularly bad case in a boy of 17 was so severe it was shocking. He had a deep wound on his shin, probably from debris floating around in the water, and the classic signs of tetanus – locked jaw, spasms, extreme sensitivity to lights and noise."
He had to be fed through a tube. His wound was badly infected. For the first few days he was given antibiotics, magnesium, tetanus immunoglobulin and sedatives.
"We couldn't take him into surgery to clean his wound because we couldn't give him an anaesthetic," Natalie said.
"His jaw was so locked and his breathing could have been compromised. If he stopped breathing we would not have been able to do anything to help him."
"After about a week he began to improve. We started taking him into surgery every couple of days to clean his wound," Natalie said.
"Tetanus has a very high mortality rate. When he walked out of the hospital a few weeks later it was an incredibly important moment for us all."
It was not the first time Natalie had worked in the Philippines.
"I know that people rarely open up about anything sad or difficult," Natalie said.
"After a couple of weeks the national staff we employ started talking about how difficult things had been during the typhoon. They were visibly upset and crying – something that I've not seen before in this country."
A nurse told her that as the water rose she put all the neonatal unit babies into one cot to try to save them.
"Others stayed behind to look after patients, before walking long distances home, wading through water as bodies floated past," Natalie said.
"There was no mobile phone network so they didn't know what had happened to their families – all the way home they were just hoping they would find them alive."
Other staff told her that they'd been sheltering upstairs in the hospital.
"When the roof blew off and the windows smashed they went downstairs. Water started flooding the lower floors until it reached their necks.
The nurses tried to open an air vent to escape but snakes swam out. They were terrified.
"Now we are out of the emergency stage but some parts of Tacloban are still devastated," Natalie said.
"There is land behind the hospital where there used to be houses, but now it looks like a steamroller has driven over it.
"I'm always really struck by the houses that have had no work done on them after the typhoon, I wonder what happened to the owners."
There is still demand for help.
"That's why we're staying for the foreseeable future," Natalie said.
"So far we've treated 6,000 people in the outpatient department, man aged more than 1,000 emergency cases, performed more than 250 surgical procedures and delivered more than 100 babies.
"I don't think that level of demand will change any time soon."
At midnight on New Year's Eve, the MSF staff went to the roof of their hotel.
"Only weeks earlier the place had been devastated," Natalie said.
"But now, all over town, fireworks were going off. After everything that had happened it was quite emotional to see.
"It really demonstrates the strength and resilience of the Filipino people. All over Tacloban are posters saying Tindog Tacloban, and people wearing the words on their T-shirt – it means 'rise up' in the local dialect."
The people take it seriously.
"Next week I'll fly home and, after a couple of weeks' break, I've been told that I'm probably going to South Sudan or to the Central African Republic.
"I came to the Philippines for my first mission with MSF back in 2008 and thought every country would be as easy to work in as here – the Filipino staff we employ are dedicated and highly skilled, and even all the people on the street are so welcoming.
"Every day here people say 'thank you' to me and that's not something I take for granted."

Cesc Looks Forward, And The FA Finally Go Certifiably Insane
Feb 27th, 2008 by 'holic
It's good to see the odd interviews creeping into the news aggregators that look forward, not back. Opinions about what has passed have become polarised. The time has come to accept that and ignore the people you don't want to listen to (isn't the ipod cassette adaptor a wonderful invention when you have had enough of the car radio!).
The Times are among the many sources who have piggy-backed onto a Cesc Fabregas interview in the Arsenal magazine where the Catalan genius speaks of the critics who wrote off our title chances pre-season. He also speaks sensibly of the weeks to come.
"We are not thinking it's all over, we would be very stupid to do that. We have to keep working hard and keep believing we can do it. If we can win it it would be amazing considering the age of the team."
It would signify not just an achievement for youth, it would prove once and for all that you do not have to throw money around like confetti in order to achieve major success.
Out Of Touch With Reality
Nobody can accuse the FA of not having its ear to the ground. In a week when there has been a widespread clamour to differentiate between the punishment for leg-breaking challenges and petulant retaliation they have acted swiftly. Giving an additional one match ban to Jeremie Aliadiere for his cheek-tickling assault proves beyond all reasonable doubt that the governing body in this country has gone absolutely stark-staring bonkers.
Win An Arsenal Opus With O2
Todays featured image is a visual painkiller, a reminder of better days than we have enjoyed in the last week or so. Thank you to Andrew for his snap of the last goal at Highbury.
I still get emotional thinking of that day. I am so grateful I got there early, walked around the place, got in the ground when the gates opened (and avoided alcohol!) just so I could take in as much of the occasion as possible. I have been through all of the photographs I took myself and it is astonishing how fresh in the memory it all still is.
Anyway, if you want to vote for your favourite photo, and win your own copy of this sumptuous book, visit the O2 blueroom here. Voting closes on Friday so don't leave it too late.

First Drink? Wooot?
Yes the FA has gone mad.
it must be because Ali was an ex player. I've said it. Now watch all them cunts come and say stupid things.
on 27 Feb 2008 at 8:29 am2Didrik
Just a note: The "extra" game for Ali was not for the foul, but is the standard punishment for appealing when the appeal is dismissed as far as I have understood. In a way it's their: "Here's a bonus for wasting the precious time of the FA. Think twice next time, will you!?"
on 27 Feb 2008 at 8:30 am3Passenal
That's right Steve-O he's guilty by association! (and before people start losing it – I would post a winking smiley here if I had one)
on 27 Feb 2008 at 8:45 am4Ole Gunner
You get an extra one match ban if they find your appeal to be without merit. This happened to us last year with Adebayor.
on 27 Feb 2008 at 8:48 am5Ollie
No, the Aliadière extended ban has nothing to do with him being a foreigner/associated with Arsenal, I totally agree with that.
However, the point, I think, is that even if they wanted to uphold the ban (I haven't seen the incident myself, it's not really been shown around here), a little modesty should have told them that adding an extra game on the grounds of 'frivolity' wasn't really needed, particularly not this week. That's just taking the piss.
Happy Birthday, goonerholic.
Oops, sorry, wrong blog!
on 27 Feb 2008 at 8:57 am6Pomp
The point is that the FA again show their rules are against any natural justice.
'boro fans must be aghast that their player's milder response to the stupid pinching of his nose results in him being sent off, whilst the original perpetrator gets away scot free.
How many times more will we see this.
on 27 Feb 2008 at 9:11 am7Ollie
Indeed Pomp, I have to say there is that point too. It's always annoyed me that the sanction always only seem to be for the person who reacts than for the person who starts the shit.
(as I said I didn't see any part of the Aliadière thing, so it's just a general comment).
on 27 Feb 2008 at 9:31 am8Goonerholic
Yes, happy birthday Arseblog, the original and the best.
on 27 Feb 2008 at 10:15 am9A_n_E
as usual goonerholic you have the wrong end of a rather large stick. your fans' attempts at appearing the wounded ones by the FA are laughable. how many times have arsenal got away with soft pens etc against so-called lesser teams. you are part of the big 4 and as such get preferential treatment off refs and the FA. you may not see it but every fan of the other 88 league teams does.
comparing aliadiere's punishment with taylor's is simply childish and only goes to extend the back biting etc.
aliadiere deliberately hit someone round the face. red card no questions asked. everyone knows that. so for the smoggies to appeal was a joke.
please let go of the "we are so hard done by" placards and banners now, it's been done to death and your continual moaning and whining just add to the beliefs that you are bad losers with very little dignity.
last season blues had our capt injured by a shocking tackle which broke his jaw. however once the punishment was dished out (or not as it happened!) we simply got on with it as did our players. yes we felt agrieved by the injustice of it all but hey ho that's football.
perhaps you should do the same and simply not keep harping on about our player and extra punishment for him. it wont make eduardo get better quicker and it wouldnt change the game as it was a tackle that happens 100 times a game so what are you gaining from continually referring to it?
on 27 Feb 2008 at 10:22 am10You Need More Foreigners
Good point about the ipod 'holic. No broken records on them eh?

Didn't notice us getting away with any soft pens last weekend. Any that were going went Brums way.
The tackle that Taylor made doesn't happen a 100 times a game. That is just ridiculous. If you are prone to exaggeration to support a point at least try to make it a believable one. The tackle that Taylor made was reckless and executed at a distance and speed that did not allow him any control over his tackle. Throughout the tackle his leg is full extended. The leg has three joints that can be flexed at anytime to reduce impact; at the hip, knee and ankle. Taylor followed through with his leg fully extended, ramrod straight in fact and over the top of the ball. It was an uncontrolled, reckless and very dangerous tackle.
I can understand Brum fans rushing to support Taylors error and plead how nice he is in mitigation but it doesn't alter the fact one jot. Taylors tackle was a dangerously reckless. I don't suppose Taylor will commit another like it in his career – at least I hope he will have learned from it – but defending it – failing to see the danger in such recklessness prevents other players, inclined to believe that controlling their tackle doesn't matter, from avoiding the same devastating consequence.
on 27 Feb 2008 at 2:00 pm14A_n_E
"Didn't notice us getting away with any soft pens last weekend. Any that were going went Brums way."
and dont we know it. but there are many many ocassions where you get the rub of the green for pens, the home game against us springs to mind but i dont recall much clamouring from the gooners when kelly clearly won the ball and you got a soft pen. it's football and things like that happen.
"The tackle that Taylor made was reckless and executed at a distance and speed that did not allow him any control over his tackle."
i agree it was reckless but you obviously dont really know what you are saying ashe was stationary when he made the tackle not at a distance nor moving at any speed.
"Throughout the tackle his leg is full extended. The leg has three joints that can be flexed at anytime to reduce impact;"
look at many of the available pics and you can see taylor's leg is bent
there is one for you. the speed that this happened at meant neither player had a chance to react until it was too late.
it has become very obvious who has and who hasnt played the game. tackles like that DO happen every game but in 9999 cases out of 10000 the players leg is not planted in the turf and he rides the challenge.
I am not saying it wasnt a red card at all. it was. but since then i have linked a horrendous 2 footed lunge by henry which drew zero condemnation from any gooners and didnt warrant any comment from wenger at the time. plus now goonerholic is suggesting that the FA are in some way wrong because they havent extended taylor's suspension as they did with aliadiere's whichbeggars belief as the only reason aliadiere got a further suspension was his team tried to get him out of the sending off.

Fair play fella. Where would we be if we couldn't chuckle.
on 27 Feb 2008 at 6:05 pm18Amos
At least you have accepted that the tackle was reckless and therefore red cardable. That's progress of a sort. The picture you posted was after the tackle had broken Eduardos leg. The trick is to flex one of the joints before contact is made – thats when it matters. There are plenty of copies of the definitive moment of impact before any bones are shattered. Seek them out and you will see just how dangerous his tackle is. From the horror on Cescs face (someone who has played the game) you will see just what his instinctive reaction was.
Once again you make the disingenuous point that Eduardos foot was on the floor. Once again the only problem is that Taylors foot wasn't on the floor – it went over the ball – the tackle was made without control. It was reckless and dangerous and if repeated runs a very strong risk that the consequence will be the same as it was this time.
I haven't seen the Henry tackle that you mention but if it was reckless, without control, launched from a similar distance at a similar speed, over the top of the ball without any flexing in his legs then he deserved to be red carded as well. I am not looking to single Taylor out but the game will benefit from removing the sort of tackle that Taylor made from the game.
on 27 Feb 2008 at 6:12 pm19Amos
I have just found the link to the Henry tackle you mentioned. A stupid tackle but not the same thing at all. It was launched from three times the distance – not directly at the player – and neither leg was extended plus crucially it wasn't over the top of the ball. Reckless yes but not in the same league as Taylors.

the birthday blog appears to have been overcome
Is it really that criminal to rant and rave on your own blog about things you're not happy with? That is the purpose of a blog, innit? to express your own opinion?
*shrugs* just thought i'd get that out of my system. Sometimes if it gets too clogged up, things get weird.

All right cats and kitten, we're (counts days on hands and toes) 19 days from the start of the 2014 NFL Draft. Personally, I think it sucks that the draft is in May this year. I think I initially liked the schedule, but now I've changed my mind. It sucks.
What doesn't suck is it gives us a bit more time to organize our community mock draft. I thought last year's mock was excellent. This year, I'd like to please use this FanPost to determine what the mock rules will be. Stephen Reed and I will oversee the selections.
Do we want all 7 rounds? Do we want just the first two days (Rounds 1, 2, and 3)?
I think the general rule we might have to lay down early is no trades. It's just way too hard and time-consuming to wrangle all that info. If readers can convince me otherwise, I'll listen.
Ideas? Suggestions? What dates work?

Etal Castle
|Etal Castle
|Etal Castle
|grid reference NT925394
|Site information
|English Heritage
Etal Castle is a medieval English castle situated at Etal, Cornhill on Tweed, Northumberland, England. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building.
The castle was founded by the Manners family in the late 12th century. In 1341, nobleman and doctor Robert de Manners received license to crenellate his manor, permitting him to re-designate it as a "castle". During this time the Castle was renowned as a destination for pilgrims seeking medical and dental treatment from its owner. Sir Robert de Manners performed one of the earliest English translations from the Arabic of the Taqwim al-Sihhah, an 11th-century medical text by Ibn Butlan, and was known throughout the region as a healer.
The Manners family often feuded with the Heron family of nearby castle of Ford. In 1428 Sir William Heron led an attack on Etal Castle and was killed in the process. In 1513, an army of 30,000 Scots led by James IV invaded England and took the Castle. The invaders were then defeated in the battle of Flodden.
The castle had been abandoned as a residence in the 15th century following the marriage or Sir Robert Manners to Eleanor de Ros, heiress of Baron de Ros, and the family moved to Belvoir. Sir Robert's son George became the 11th Baron Ros in 1512 and his grandson Thomas was created 1st Earl of Rutland in 1525. A survey of 1542 found the castle to be in a very great state of decay.
Etal Castle is currently managed by English Heritage. There is also an award-winning exhibition about the Battle of Flodden and Anglo-Scottish warfare housed within a former Presbyterian chapel.

I watched the first episode and I really liked it a lot. But about halfway through the second episode we had to turn it off because even though the theme was really sweet, there were still too many moments of "funny" that weren't funny at all, but were just soul damaging.
And when we turned it off I found myself choked up and crying. I didn't know exactly why I was crying. But as I started verbalizing how I felt it all came together.
The only female protagonist on the show was really a great character. She was sweet and kind. Every interaction showed her compassion and kindness, selflessness and thoughtfulness. Beyond that, she was beautiful. And not in a way that I've seen beauty portrayed in....I don't know....ever? To me, she just glowed. Her face was sweet and beautiful and when she smiled, I saw her uneven teeth, but it didn't diminish her loveliness at all. In fact, it added to it with character and personality and uniqueness. I only watched one and half episode, but in those one and a half episode, I never saw a part of her body that I didn't want to see. She was dressed sharply, but simply. Her clothing was not in any way form fitting and didn't call attention to her body, but she looked put together and nice. The thing that really got me was that she was thick-waisted. She did not have a flat stomach at all and her arms were also thicker than I'm used to seeing on TV. I couldn't tell you anything about anything below her waist because she wasn't wearing the type of clothes to reveal that part of her figure.
A few weeks ago I was reading an article about white privilege. The author made this huge list of things to help white people recognize their own privilege. I actually wasn't a big fan of the article but there were a couple of things on her list that have been on my mind since I read it.
You experience privilege if you can walk into a store and easily find a doll in your race.
You experience privilege if you can turn on the TV or watch a movie and easily find protagonists of your race.
So as I'm sitting there analyzing why I'm crying, I realize that I don't know if I've ever seen a true female protagonist who wasn't supposed to look like a supermodel. The female characters I can think of who were heavier or "imperfect" are all sidekicks (and even those are few and far between), extremely eccentric, laughable characters with no love interests. Or else they are jokes. It's a comedy where the main joke and recurring theme is actually about the woman's fatness.
But here was this real woman, with curves in the "wrong" places who was wonderfully feminine and soft. And no one was making jokes about her weight or the shape of her body. In fact, in the one and a half episodes I watched there were three men who were legitimately interested in her. To me, she was real. And she looked more like the actual women I know in real life. She looked more like me.
I just felt so much relief to see something like that. I hadn't realized how emotionally and psychologically exhausting it is to see only "perfect" women portrayed in the media all the time. And while all these self-exposing, scantily clad women and pornography may be wreaking havoc on men, the damage inflicted on women is also a tangible, measurable thing. I'm so tired of seeing so much of other women's bodies, I could scream.

Michael Vick has blown through nearly $30 million since filing for bankruptcy in 2008 -- nearly 95% of his total income -- TMZ has learned.
According to legal docs filed in his bankruptcy case, Vick made $31 million since he went belly up -- that includes his Eagles salary and various endorsements and other business ventures.
The math is pretty simple -- Vick had to pay a total of $29.6 mil -- of that, $10.9 went to taxes, $9.2 mil went to creditors, $2.7 went to lawyers and accountants, and the rest is for various things, including child support and living expenses.
All tolled, Vick is now left with around $1.5 mil. That's nothing to sneeze at, but considering what he made it's pretty shocking.
Things are looking up for the NFLer. Vick signed a 6 year, $100 million contract in 2011 ... with almost $40 mil in guaranteed money, so he won't be poor -- in rich terms -- for much longer.
So what? It's his money. Your reporting this story as if it's earth ****tering. Are you surprised by this? I'd be more shocked if you told me after all these years, he still had the $30 million or the majority of it. His God given talent is to be athletic and play football, not be smart.
"...$29.6 mil -- of that, $10.9 went to taxes, $9.2 mil went to creditors, $2.7 went to lawyers and accountants, and the rest is for various things, including child support and living..."
Did you guys read the article (on this lame website by the way)? He didn't "blow" his money, he had to spend it.
And wow he made a mistake but now he's a good guy.
Vick should be in jail and not playing football for what he did to his dogs.
MICHAEL VICK is one swarthy king. A god among men. Divine beauty. I wish he was my cousin or something. Fudge.
I Love how this is story like Vick is the only celebrity to burn a whole bunch of money give me a break this is just another way for TMZ to promote racism and the trolls will be trolls and do their job n hate.....
Idiot - I hope a pit bull bites in on the ass
maybe will all get lucky and he will go broke and be forced to fight in ufc to collect a check. I would pay to see him get his asssss beat.Heck, i would pay to be the guy in the ring who gets to kick his ass. Mike if you are reading this i would beat you to a bloody pulp in the octogan you ugly piece of shiiiiiiiiit. Cant wait till your forced to fight. Die slow motherf@#ker
how is it that nobody has beat this guy down in public. Hes a bitch, just look at him. I would love a couple rounds with that POS.
Watch you tube video white man kill puppy with center. Block get theme Vick lol
Mike Vick has no child support..unless of course you mean't to say "family support". Get your facts right.
Mike Vick has no child support unless of course you mean't to say "family support" since he has no kids outside his relationship with his fiance. TMZ stereotyping? What's new?
He could of gave up and live a secluded life but God gave him another chance and people still believe in his talents. I'm just saying out of all the highest degree of crimes, he was caught running a dog fighting ring. I'm happy he left all that ghetto hood activities behind him. He's not perfect. He's a working progress like everyone else.
Vick should enter UFC after football. People would pay big bucks to watch this crack baby get his ass beat. Heck i would pay for the opportunity to beat his ass
its ****ing dogs....get over it u ****ing losers
If you guys read carefully he didnt blow his money on frivalous thing he had debts he had to payback which he did. So all the dumbasses that say he wasted it read the article not the title. And all u dog ****er shut the hell up. Be concerned with humans dying not dogs.

Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy is pushing for more federal law enforcement support for Vermont's fight against opiate addiction.
Leahy's Judiciary Committee took testimony from the head of the DEA Wednesday about the war on drugs. Leahy said he is particularly concerned about the growth in opioid abuse.
Leahy convened a field hearing in Rutland last month focusing on the combined efforts of police and other agencies to confront the problem. He says law enforcement agents in Vermont are requesting more federal help.
Leahy also questioned the DEA chief about prescription drug abuse and the emergence of new opiates like Zohydro that don't have the tamper-proofing now included with other powerful opiates like Oyxcontin.

San Diego inventor feels justified after state senator's arrest
SAN DIEGO - A local gun shop owner and inventor felt slightly vindicated Thursday after a state senator who had targeted a gun safety device he created was arrested this week by the FBI on corruption charges.
North County Firearms shop owner owner Darin Prince invented the Bullet Button, a safety device that makes it harder to replace a magazine in an AR-15.
"It simply allows you to comply with the law the way the law was written," Prince told 10News.
However, about four years ago, state Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) introduced legislation to ban the invention. Yee has since targeted Prince's invention four times. In 2012, Yee told 10News he was trying to protect Californians.
"The gun manufacturer found a way to skirt the law, and all I'm doing is just plugging that loophole," Prince said.
Prince called Yee a hypocrite after the FBI arrested the politician Wednesday. Yee is accused of illegally importing guns for what he believed was an Italian gangster in New Jersey. The gangster was an undercover federal agent.
"He was constantly trying to disarm law-abiding citizens in California while setting up deals to arm the criminal element," Prince said.
Prince said the battle cost his store hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"It simply shows that no law is going to keep guns out of the hands of criminals," Prince added. "It's just going to keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens."
Yee was considered a leading candidate for California secretary of state. His office declined to comment Thursday. Yee posted $500,000 bail and is awaiting a hearing in federal court.

It is far too easy to make bad decisions #TATT
The other day I was out running errands and I was stressed out and hungry. I made a run through a local fast food place for a very late lunch. Of course, for the rest of the afternoon I felt sluggish and slightly gross because instead of opting for a healthier salad or smoothie I got something fattening and unhealthy. I told my husband later that evening that I make bad decisions when I'm hungry. That statement got me thinking about what other bad decisions we make just because the RIGHT decision is just a little bit too hard to make. Whether those decisions are about the food we eat or our choices regarding green living it isn't always EASY to make the better choice.

Electronics Recycling Tips for a Smaller Carbon Footprint
These tips about electronics recycling have been sponsored but all opinions expressed here are my own. We live in a digital world. Kids are getting cell phones at a younger and younger age. Homes usually have multiple computers and televisions that need to be replaced and updated frequently. People are attached not only to one cell phone but often two if they have separate work and personal phones. Our books are no longer made of paper but are read on iPads and Kindles. All of these electronic devices become out of date or broken very quickly but what do you do with them when they are no longer useful? Unless every single one of us gets serious about electronics recycling we will soon have landfills overflowing with e-waste. And once that e-waste starts to break down in the … [Read more...]
Protecting our Food Supply One Honeybee at a Time!
This is a sponsored post. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. The other day I wrote about my July garden update and shared a few things that were going on here in the backyard. Some of it is good, some of it is not so good! But, I keep plugging away at my garden adventure because I love the idea of feeding my family with food that I grew organically all by myself. I like to think that I am improving our health along with the health of this planet by planting and growing food crops. But, then I came across some disturbing information that suggests that I may actually be KILLING bees with my backyard garden! Many nurseries and big box stores sell plants that have been sprayed with neonicotinoid pesticides. The use of neonicotinoids has been linked … [Read more...]
Bottled Water: Let's think about this, shall we?
My kids both play on a tennis team and one of the 'rules' of the governing body states that water must be provided for the players at every match. That sounds like a good plan, right? Wouldn't want a bunch of dehydrated kids running around on the tennis courts. However, this rule means that every single week somebody must provide bottled water and this week it is me. I LOATH bottled water. I really and truly see bottled water as the epitome of everything that is wrong with society today. We just throw money at something that we could otherwise get for FREE and then add the resulting trash to our already overflowing waste system. Think About This Thursday Bottled Water: Why are you buying it? Think about this: According to StatisticBrain.com, the average person buys 167 bottles … [Read more...]

Inspired by Melville's Billy Budd, Claire Denis' lavishly praised masterpiece is set among French Foreign Legionnaires in Djibouti, East Africa. It focuses on a drill sergeant (Denis Lavant) who vows to destroy a sterling young recruit (Grégoire Colin) of whom he is jealous. The elaborately choreographed military training sequences, shot under the scorching sun, are beautiful and unforgettable. In fact, the whole movie is balletic and bursting with sensuality.

Those that know me don't need my bio, they know me already. But for those of you who don't, here goes. As sports editor I'm in charge of the sports department. My main beats are high school football and basketball and Texas Tech baseball. Nothing better than being at a game in the fall or at the yard in the spring.
In his three previous starts this season, Tech junior right-hander Dominic Moreno had given up the same amount of runs (3) as the Red Raider offense had scored for him, leaving him winless with one no-decision
Friday night, Tech's batters more than ensured Moreno's first victory of 2014 thanks to a seven-run fifth inning, and the Red Raiders blew out New Mexico State, 15-2, at Rip Griffin Park.
Texas Tech wasted a chance to blow its series-opening game against New Mexico State open in the sixth, leaving the bases loaded.
Presented with another opportunity two innings later, the Red Raiders didn't let the Aggies off without doing some damage.
AUSTIN - For the better part of three quarters, the Smyer boys basketball team was doing everything it wanted - everything it said it could do - against the top team in the state.
Eventually, however, No.
The Texas Tech baseball team has one weekend left before games start counting for real in Big 12 Conference action.
Smyer boys basketball coach Lonnie Burnam can rattle off the number without even thinking.
0 for 19.
There's a reason the incoming freshman class for the Texas Tech baseball team were so highly touted.
"This is huge," fourth-year head coach Henderson said. "As far as the community goes, this is huge for us and our girls' athletic program."
DeSoto jumped out to an early lead and weathered every Coronado surge for a 55-38 victory over the Mustangs in a Class 5A Region I semifinal at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum .
If the Plains girls basketball team needs an example of what it takes to win, or lose, a state championship, it need only look in its own back yard.
The Cowgirls are one step from making history and completing their year-long journey because of their dominance on the boards and their tough defense

any trigger job is illegal for IPSC Production Division.....
In Guns We Trust!!!
Not true, depends on what the trigger job entails. Changing of OFM parts (springs, etc..) is legal as is minor detailing. CRAFM is the CZ service center for Canada, thereby authorized to make repairs and replace parts with OFM parts as needed.
under "trigger job" I meant polishing sear and other critical surfaces......
changing of OEM parts and fitting them, as well as minor detailing , is allowed....

Do you guys have the silver Canadian shadow? If so, what's your price?
Centre Récréatif d'Armes à Feu de Montréal (CRAFM)
Montreal Firearms Recreational Center
Club de Tir de Montréal (CTM)
Too overpriced for a gimmick Shadow. That and the colour scheme is just horrid.
"A silencer does not make a sniper silent, it makes them invisible."
"If tar, liquor, and sauna will not be of help, the disease is fatal."
"Disappears like a fart into Sahara."

Montreal Firearms Recreational Center
Club de Tir de Montréal (CTM)
You can't go wrong with one of the new special Shadows, the grips look much much better in person. Dead sexy in my opinoin. The extra money for the gun is well spent, trust me, they are definitely a higher grade gun than the box stock Shadow. All the extras are worth it.
It's always more fun to shoot stuff that does stuff.
Some Mornings, It's Just Not Worth Chewing Through The Leather Straps
anyone seen the Canadian edition shadows in person? is the trigger similar to a factory shadow with a few mods like a lighter spring/comp hammer/etc? I could either upgrade mine, or buy a new one with the goodies on it already

Who has a shot to beat the Miami Heat in a seven-game playoff series? That's the question everybody was asking on opening night of the 2013-'14 NBA season. The Bulls did not seem worthy in their 107-95 loss. San Antonio, Indiana, Chicago, Brooklyn and Oklahoma City all are considered elite while the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks have this season to make their case to join that group.

Five Things To Watch: Denver Nuggets
The 2012-13 season was a tale of two beings for the Denver Nuggets. The first being was the regular season, where they won an NBA franchise-record 57 games. The other was the playoffs, where they were abruptly taken out by the Golden State Warriors in six games. This offseason was a shocking one for many Nuggets fans. GM Masai Ujiri, the NBA Executive of the Year, walked away and was replaced by Tim Connelly. Long-time coach George Karl was fired and

Free agent guard Nate Robinson has a new home. He will be joining the Denver Nuggets for the next two seasons. As detailed in today's Evening News, the deal is reportedly worth the bi-annual salary-cap exception, which is about $4.1 million. The addition of Robinson gives the Nuggets six new players heading into the 2013-14 NBA season, including JJ Hickson, Darrell Arthur, Randy Foye, Erick Green (46th pick in the NBA draft) and Joffrey Lauvergne (55th pick).

So what did the coach think of his time
