DID you know today is World Turtle Day? And that the collective term is a bale of turtles?
Started in 2000 by American Tortoise Rescue (www.tortoise.com), the day falls on May 23 each year and was created to help people celebrate and protect turtles and tortoises and their disappearing habitats around the world.
Have you seen the bale of turtles in Lake Weeroona?
Our photographer Jim Aldersey and reader Charlotte Strahan-Ferrie captured these images. If you have photographs that celebrate World Turtle Day, send them to email@example.com

What it is: Washing your face with oil? It's not as crazy as it sounds. Because the oil in question is 100% Pure Argan Oil, a powerhouse of nourishing, skin-repairing essential fatty acids and antioxidants that purifies as it soothes. Leave behind the drying soaps and abrasive scrubs and hop on the oil cleanser bandwagon. In a word (or two): it works.
Why I love it: My Argan Cleansing Oil is all things to all skin types. It removes every trace of makeup and dirt, deep-cleaning pores without rubbing sensitive skin the wrong way, and works equally well for the most common complexion complaints, from acne blemishes to dryness to dullness.
What's in it: I blended 100% Pure Argan Oil, the foundation of my line, with lush, replenishing safflower seed and grapeseed oils to heal, cleanse, and protect. Free radicals and everyday impurities don't stand a chance against this plant power.
What's not in it: You don't need to dry your face out to get it clean. That's why I leave out the moisture-sapping sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances.
How I use it: Rub a few pumps between your palms and smooth over your dry face. Wet your skin and massage the cleanser in. It emulsifies into a rich, creamy milk that rinses easily with lukewarm water. And you're done.

I'm 43....tried numerous products, far to many to name. My face fell in love with this slightly warming cleanser...I noticed the difference in about 3 days...my face felt hydrated and a little glowing...I'm hooked...Thank you Josie

2 years ago I started on a journey towards natural, chemical free products. I thought about making my own, but was a little skeptical and don't really have the time to do a trial an error. When I found this cleanser I absolutely fell in love with it. My skin had started to look dull, which i attributed to my age in my mid-30's, now my skin has that youthful glow and brightness. My daughter uses it as well! LOVE LOVE LOVE the results.

I'm just not a fan of oil as cleanser. But a review on Sephora suggested to try as a shaving cream replacement and I absolutely LOVE it for that!!! A bit pricey for that on a regular basis though...but it leaves skin so silky smooth and no razor burn!
3 for face wash, 5 for shaving so ave 4 stars!!!

Mrs. Maran, I just want to say that I love you for manufacturing such a remarkable line of merchandise. I was first introduce to you via QVC. I am a proud Black woman and when my skin, especially my face isn't in order, I am a mad black woman. Your argan cleansing and facial oil is outstanding. Yes, the application is an oil (for those acne prone folks like myself, and we know that oil and acne doesn't work). All that I can say, thank you and I want complain. You have me as a faithful customer.

Have been using this product for almost two years. Skin very fair and sensitive. Does not leave skin dry and tight. However, last two orders problematic with thick consistency and/or unpleasant smell. That being said, customer service is wonderful and replaced one order with new products that had the usual consistency and great citrus odor. Just received latest order which also has thicker consistency and is somewhat cloudy in appearane. Will give it a try for a while. If I am not satisfied I' m sure thar customer service will be helpful..

I've read that Asians have been using oil cleansers forever, and we Americans have slowly adapted the products so I gave this a try almost 2 years ago and now, this is all I use. My skin feels a difference. I have mature, oily combination, sensitive, dry patched skin and it's moist after rinsing, not tight like it used to be when I used a long time cleanser. I use this to remove my makeup as well. This has replaced my long time cleanser. Please make a 12 oz size and/or a twin pack please for us who religiously use this!

Cleans your skin, moisturizes it, removes eye makeup, including stubborn waterproof kind. Actually, removes all makeup quite easily without that nasty heavy coated grime feel that some other oil cleansers leave behind. But this lovely product leaves your skin nicely balanced so it doesn't feel like it's going to crack into pieces. Wasn't until I used Josie's Cleansing Oil that I found out that your skin isn't supposed to be dried out to be clean and doesn't have to be, Even for oily skin. Love it.

Man killed in officer-involved shooting
TANEYTOWN, Md - A Carroll County man is dead after being shot by a police officer on Christmas night.
Police say around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday they received a call about a man acting disorderly at a home on Commerce Drive in Taneytown. The caller claimed the man was using a hammer to smash the windows of a truck.
When officers arrived, they say the man, identified as Edward Becker, 26, started to walk toward them. When they asked him to drop the hammer, they say he continued to walk in their direction.
Police say Becker got within an arm's length of an officer and raised his hammer. The officer then fired his weapon, striking Becker in the chest. Becker was taken to Carroll Hospital Center where he was pronounced dead.
The officer who fired the shot has been placed on routine leave.

Abstract—This research investigates the premise that the likelihood of success of software reuse efforts may vary with the reuse strategy employed and, hence, potential reuse adopters must be able to understand reuse strategy alternatives and their implications. We use survey data collected from 71 software development groups to empirically develop a set of six dimensions that describe the practices employed in reuse programs. The study investigates the patterns in which these practices co-occur in the real world, demonstrating that the dimensions cluster into five distinct reuse strategies, each with a different potential for reuse success. The findings provide a means to classify reuse settings and assess their potential for success.

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona's redistricting commission says a federal court should put a Republican-backed lawsuit challenging new legislative districts on hold until state courts resolve related issues.
The commission's motion says recent papers by the challengers make clear that their case largely depends on interpretations of state law, not just the federal one-person, one-vote rule.
At issue in the case is whether the commission should have done a better job of creating districts with populations of about the same size.
A three-judge federal court panel considering the case has said the case needs to go to trial March 25 and be resolved in time to avoid affecting 2014 elections.
The commission says the case still can be resolved in time even with waiting for state court rulings on issues related to population variances.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas House unanimously approved a bill Wednesday that would regulate the already-limited ability of governments to seize property using the power of eminent domain.
The proposed law specifies private property could only be seized by governments under "eminent domain" if needed for public use, such as highways or schools. It also dictates what evidence must be considered by special commissioners in making decisions on reimbursements and the rights of property owners to repurchase taken property.
The government would be required to make a "bona fide" offer to buy the property from landowners and pay for relocation expenses. It also puts into state law a prohibition on property seizure for private use, which already was prohibited by a constitutional amendment passed in 2009.
Lawmakers have been tinkering with the state's eminent domain law for years, after a U.S. Supreme Court decision sparked concern about governments abusing their constitutional power to seize private land.
Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, has designated the eminent domain bill a legislative emergency.
"Property ownership is an essential freedom for Texans and an important part of fulfilling the American dream," Perry said. "I ... commend the Texas House for passing SB 18, which will help further protect property owners by strengthening our eminent domain laws. I look forward to seeing this important legislation reach my desk."
He vetoed a similar bill in 2007, arguing that the language in the legislation would lead to higher costs for taxpayers from more litigation. The move angered farmers and private property rights advocates.
Perry has supported other eminent domain restrictions, including the 2009 constitutional amendment that banned seizure for private use.
This year's legislation was supported by the Texas Farm Bureau, pipeline companies and utility companies.
The Texas House has adopted a resolution urging Congress to propose a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget.
Facing a $15 billion budget shortfall in their own state, the House approved the measure Wednesday by a 115-17 vote. Several Democrats voted for the GOP-sponsored measure. Several other Democrats were present but chose not to vote.
If Congress doesn't do that by the end of the year, the resolution requests other states join Texas in calling a constitutional convention. Two-thirds of all the states would have to agree to hold such a convention, which has never been done.
Gov. Rick Perry had designated the resolution an emergency item for the Legislature.
Republicans are bracing for losses under a new Texas House redistricting proposal.
Rep. Burt Solomons, chairman of the House Redistricting Committee, revealed details of his plan Wednesday. With skyrocketing growth in minority populations, Republicans are bracing for the loss of several incumbents in 2012 after seeing their biggest majority ever this year. GOP incumbents would have to run against each other in seven districts under his plan. Democrats face only one such "pairing" of incumbents.
There would be eight open seats in the Solomons proposal. The GOP has a 101-49 edge in the state House. Many Republicans are predicting the supermajority will shrink after the 2012 elections under a newly drawn map.
A low-level radioactive waste dump in remote West Texas could take in waste from dozens of states, under a bill approved Wednesday by the Texas senate.
The waste dump in Andrews County could be ready to accept the waste by next fall, according to a spokesman for Dallas-based Waste Control Specialists, which operates the site.
Environmentalists have resisted the move, warning that it would result in radioactive material rumbling through the state on trucks with few safeguards in case of an accident.
The Senate bill allows Waste Control Specialists to set disposal fees for 36 states that are not part of the original compact between Texas and Vermont. Previously, environmental regulators were to determine the rates.
Texas and the city and county governments in Andrews will get a share of those fees, said Waste Control Specialists spokesman Chuck McDonald.
"They are anxious to get started," McDonald said. "This paves the way for that to happen."
The bill by Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, still needs House approval, which could come next week.
The Senate bill requires that waste from the non-compact states take up no more than 30 percent of capacity at the facility. It also bans waste from foreign countries.
Other states can pay $30 million to join the compact through 2018 before the price goes to $50 million. Generators from non-party states would pay a surcharge for their imported waste
More than 1,000 members of the Texas Library Association wearing red t-shirts rallied in front of the Capitol to a thumping drumbeat on Wednesday.
The librarians and other library workers protested cuts to libraries, schools and the State Archives.
The two state agencies that handle juvenile criminal offenders would be abolished and replaced with a single agency under legislation approved by the Texas Senate Wednesday.
The bill by Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, combines the Texas Youth Commission and the Juvenile Probation Commission into the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.
Whitmire has long been a leader of justice system reforms and said the new agency will work within local communities and emphasize probation for youth. Keeping juvenile offenders in the community to work with counselors and probation officers instead of sending them to state incarceration facilities is an aspect Whitmire has said is crucial.
The bill would allow the state to close down any of the 10 Texas Youth Commission state facilities that won't be needed and allow the counties with less than 100,000 people where the facilities are located to use the closed facilities for other purposes.
The new agency will be overseen by a governor-appointed board composed of judges, probation officers and other professionals.
The bill comes out of recommendations from the Sunset Advisory Committee, made up of mostly lawmakers, which determined that consolidating the juvenile justice agencies was the best way to iron out persistent problems in the system.
The Texas Senate has voted to expand the number of charter schools in the state.
The Senate approved a bill Wednesday that allows the state to authorize 10 new open-enrollment charter schools per year. It also allows existing charter schools to add new campuses without requesting approval.
There would be no limit to the number of charter schools for children with disabilities.
Current law limits the number of charter schools to 215.
Charter schools were approved in 1995. They are allowed to operate with fewer legal restrictions than regular public schools to allow for innovation.
The bill by Sen. Dan Patrick, a Houston Republican, now goes to the House.
State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte cancelled a visit with First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden on Wednesday when state Sen. Jeff Wentworth stood ready to bring up the guns on campus bill.
Wentworth is short one vote to bring his bill up for debate. If a senator leaves, though, he would have enough votes under the rule that requires a two-thirds vote only of those present to bring an item before the Senate. He has said he will bring up the bill at the first opportunity.
The guns on campus bill would require public universities and colleges to allow concealed hand gun permit-holders to take guns into public buildings.
Van de Putte said she would skip the meeting in San Antonio to keep the measure from coming up for debate.
"I cannot in good conscience leave knowing that legislation such as guns on campus would pass without my opposition," Van de Putte said in a statement. "I continue to salute the sacrifices our military families routinely make as they defend our country's freedoms."
State Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, had also intended to leave the Senate floor, but chose to remain to prevent a vote on the measure.
Legislators, statewide elected officials and some other state and federal employees who are concealed handgun license holders would be allowed to carry their weapons where the general public is not — bars, churches, sporting events and business — under a bill approved by a Senate committee.
Supporters say lawmakers, judges and prosecutors are potential targets for assassins and should be able to carry protection at all times.
The bill is sponsored by Sen. Dan Patrick, a Houston Republican. Patrick says he is licensed to carry a concealed handgun.
The bill passed the Criminal Justice Committee 6-1 and now heads to the full Senate.
A bill that would make it a felony to touch someone in an intimate place during a routine search has moved to the full House for debate.
The proposed law is aimed as people conducting security checkpoints at airports and public buildings. The bill makes it a crime to intentionally touch someone's groin or breasts, even through clothing, unless the security officer has probably cause to believe that person is carrying something illegal.
House Bill 1937 was authored by state Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview, and is co-sponsored by 54 other state representatives, could place federal workers at jeopardy of prosecution for conducting so-called enhanced pat-downs. The measure now goes before the entire House for debate.
The Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee has approved tougher laws on cactus rustling.
The measure by state Sen. Jose Rodriguez, D-El Paso, would require commercial growers of certain desert plants to register with the Texas Department of Agriculture and provide documents for their plants. Anyone caught selling or transporting a desert plant without proper paperwork would have their plants seized and face a fine of up to $1,000.
The United States is one of the world's largest producers of decorative desert plants. Cactus rustlers steal thousands of plants a year from both public and private lands. On Tuesday the committee sent the bill to the full Senate for a vote.
"This waste is going to be around tens of thousands of years. ...What's the rush?" Tom "Smitty" Smith, director of Texas Public Citizen, arguing for further studies before allowing more radioactive waste in Texas.

With it being Redskin Week again, I will not be posting my WWGD post this week. Not because the Redskins suck or anything, but because I already did a post on them and I really don't want to repeat the post. IF you missed that Week simply Click here to read up on the Redskins, and How I think Garrett should Attack them.
So last week I started a new Series called Position Outlook, where I will be profiling each position and the Players that Dallas has for that position. I will be giving MY opinion on the relative strength of the position, and How likely I think Dallas will be drafting that position in the 2012 NFL Draft. I will include All current players+ practice squad in this evaluation
5 Stars- Minimum Amount of Quality Starters at Position and At least one quality Backup for Position= BPA only if player is ranked significantly higher than any other player, and would not be a factor in FA
4 Stars- Minimum amount of Quality Starters at position, Unproven Depth = Address as BPA and FA for Depth
3 Stars- Minimum of one Quality player at starter, but unproven Depth=slight need, BPA in rounds 4-7 preferably, look to fill need in FA
2 Stars-Serviceable Starter(s), No Depth = solid need, BPA if within rounds 1-3 if not taken care of in Free Agency
1 Star- No Quality players at starter nor in depth= major need, Draft no later than 2nd round, would take precedence over BPA if Gap is close enough, and is a must target in Free Agency
The series so far:
QB position 3 stars
So who are the Dallas OT's? Via NFL .com:
First Team
Second Team
Third Team
Left Tackle
Doug Free
Right Tackle
Tyron Smith
Jermey Parnell
As we all know Dallas only has 3 OT's on the 53 man roster and none on the Practice Squad. So lets look at them a little more in depth shall we?

I put this here because Parnell didn't do any timed drills at the Proday, so I figured I should let you guys see what Parnell did at his proday. I am not good with the "eye-ball test" so if any of you guys what to let me know what you think Feel free to chime in. BTW I think Parnell is the one in the White Shirt.....
So what is the out look for OT? I give the position 4 Stars- Minimum amount of Quality Starters at position, Unproven Depth = Address as BPA and FA for Depth. Free and Tyron are both young players, and are under contract for the next few years, however Parnell is very much unproven. Look for Dallas to shore up the Depth here in the later rounds and Possibly FA with a Derrick Dockery type deal
As Always I welcome any Comment or Critiques to you guys may have. If any one wishes to give their opinion on Parnell's workout or has a better video I will gladly edit my post and give you full credit for the Edit...

My wife got a car with her dad, she is the primary, and he cosigned the loan before we got married. We got married 4 months after the car was financed. My question is, if the car is repossessed will they be able to garnish my wages?
Resolving Spouse A's liability for debt incurred by Spouse B can be tricky, especially when the debt is acquired before the marriage. Family law varies tremendously from state to state, and even the community property states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin) vary in their approach to answering the pre-marital debt question.
With the understanding that your state's laws may trump the general rule, generally speaking because a spouse did not co-sign the loan, that spouse is not a party to that transaction and as a consequence will not face liability if the signor defaults on the loan. Many creditors do not go to the trouble of suing both spouses, as doing so tends to complicate the legal process involved in obtaining a judgment.
However, as I mentioned, your state may have different rules, and you need to talk to an attorney who specializes in family law in your state to get a more accurate answer that reflects your state's laws and your particular facts.
Let us talk about the repossession. The primary problem with repossession is that the owner will likely be left owing a deficiency balance on the loan, meaning that your wife may still owe a significant amount of money to the lender even though she no longer has the vehicle.
When a vehicle is repossessed, the lender usually sells the car at auction, and applies the amount it receives at auction to the balance owed on the loan. The borrower is generally responsible for any amount of the loan which is not covered by the auction proceeds. The problem is that lenders usually sell repossessed vehicles for significantly less than the cars are actually worth, which can leave a borrower owing thousands of dollars for a vehicle the borrower no longer even owns.

Khajjiar – Mini Swiss
I have never seen a place more beautiful than Khajjiar in Himachal Pradesh. 5hours drive from Dharamshala in the Chamba district one comes across a lake, pasture, forest, garlic fields all in one within a 5 km radius at 6500 feet above sea level. The snap above is from a village where garlic fields were laid out high up in the mountains overlooking the Chamba valley with the Dhauladar range of Himalayas in sight. Once we reached the lake and pasture, we took horses which rode us to a village 30 mins away. The narrow path was scary, and at some places we held our hearts and the horse forced itself uphill with no way to go. Branches brushed our eyes, and I felt my specs almost give away few times. retaining balance was a trick I somehow mustered.
It seems this place was officially given the name of Mini Switzerland by a Swiss Ambassador in 1992.

Sparkling water, natural flavors and sweeteners, and fruit and vegetable extracts are the only ingredients in a new soda beverage being launched in Tucson today.
Kurij - pronounced "courage" - is the brainchild of three Tucson entrepreneurs who had a vision of a healthy alternative to soda.
Alex Deo, Dr. Tung Bui and Alex Tai have brought that vision to life after four years of experimenting - oftentimes in their own kitchens.
The idea was born when then-UA student Deo shadowed Bui, an endodontist, at work.
Deo said Bui thought he'd be better suited as a businessman, and Bui had a vision of creating a drink that tasted like soda but didn't ruin teeth.
So the two, along with Tai, started having lab sessions in their kitchens, to figure out different tastes. "The base of the drink is what we calculated in the kitchen ... we just added different components for flavor," Deo said.
After about four years of experimentation, the trio is ready to put its product on the shelves of local stores, restaurants, business offices and dental offices.
Local brewery Borderlands Brewing will carry the sweet, berry flavored beverage, starting today.
Kurij boasts being a smile-friendly beverage because it doesn't contain acidic ingredients like traditional sodas. Rather, it relies on natural sweeteners stevia and xylitol. The latter is said to help prevent tooth decay.
"It's good for everybody," said Deo, CEO of Kurij. "It's good for diabetics because of its low glycemic index, there's no caffeine, it's vegan, gluten-free and it's good for kids."
Stevia and xylitol are the sweeteners of choice for diabetics, from a medical standpoint, says Denese Bottrell, a certified health coach. "They cause a different reaction in the body. They don't cause a spike in insulin like regular sugars."
The only problem Bottrell sees with the drink is xylitol can cause stomach upset. "Many people use it with no problems, but some have a sensitivity to it."
Deo says there is such a small amount in each bottle, it shouldn't cause a problem. "I've drank as many as 20 bottles during production and have never had an issue," he said.
If a person's body doesn't have a problem with xylitol, though, Bottrell says it would definitely be good for somebody trying to transition off of soda or as an occasional sweet, Bottrell said.
"They (xylitol and stevia) don't promote more cravings like regular sugars," Bottrell said. "Sugar causes you to want more. It's like a drug.
"And anything is better than chemical sweeteners ... they cause no goodness in the body."
Kurij will be available in one flavor - Yumberry-for now, Deo said. Once the company sees success with Yumberry, it will bring out the other five flavors it has come up with, which include Yuzu-Raspberry, Lemon Lime, Tangerine Dream, Tropical Breeze and Doc Holliday.
Doc Holliday was named after the infamous Tombstone dentist as a "tip of our hat to our Arizona heritage," Deo said.
Kurij Launch Party
Kurij is having a launch party from 4 to 8 p.m. today at Borderlands Brewing, 119 E. Toole Ave. Kurij will be available for sample and purchase. For more information on Kurij, visit them online at www.kurij.com

The Challenge
To start off the campaign we were asked to fire the collective imagination of first person shooter fans and reintroduce Metro as a must-play title. Exact words from the marketing guys at THQ: "Give us something BIG!" For the second part of the campaign we were asked to create gameplay trailers and developer diaries that all hold their own strong narrative each selling a new aspect of the game.
The Concept
Live Action: Showcase how humanity got to the point of annihilation and focus on the survivors who would go on to shape the world of Metro: Last Light. To give this trailer the emotion, drama and epic feel it required, we shot a live action shoot in Kiev during Ukraine's coldest winter in six years. Gameplay: Create iconic game trailers and survival diaries that focus on unique perspectives from the main characters with each having a completely different story and visual style.
The Outcome
Live Action The cinematic trailer reached over 4 Million views in 4 days putting Metro: Last Light on the radar. This did not go unnoticed and was awarded with three LIA awards for Editing, Cinematography and Direction. THQ declared it their most succesful trailer ever. To date the video has around 7 million total views. Gameplay The online community lit up with excitement towards each trailer's unique characters and level of detail. The anticipation rapidly grew towards the game's release, resulting in a mind-blowing top position in the worldwide sales charts. The campaign showed that true creativity can be captured in a gameplay trailer, breaking the industry standard and picking up the "Best Broadcast Campaign" award enroute.

Winemaker's Notes:
The Wolftrap White is taking the world by storm. With only the third vintage bottled it has become South Africaʹs super quaffer.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) Airline baggage fees are just one of the burdens travelers carry when flying, but lately those fees really have been getting out of hand.
Airlines, it seems, are making a quiet killing out of taking your suitcases, golf clubs, pet kennels and other travel bags and storing them on the plane for that two-hour flight to Chicago.
The U.S Bureau of Statistics is out with a ranking of airlines and baggage fees, and the results are eye-opening.

Altogether, U.S. airlines earned about $3.5 billion on baggage fees last year, with some of the biggest names in the business cashing in on what used to be, only a decade or two ago, a free service for air travelers. (Reservation change fees are the second-highest secondary cost to air travelers, at $2.6 billion.)

Here's how The U.S. Bureau of Statistics ranked airlines on baggage fees last year:
Delta: $869 million
United: $706 million
American: $557 million
U.S. Airways: $516 million
Spirit: $168 million
Alaska Airlines , Southwest , Allegiant , JetBlue and Frontier make up the rest of the top 10, with USA 3000, Mesa and AirTran falling to the bottom of its list of 16 U.S. airliners. Those three all charged less than $5 million in 2012 for baggage fees, the agency reports.
A baggage fee is a relatively new trend for air travelers, spawned by rising costs of fuel and narrowing profit margins by airline companies squeezed by increased competition and fewer air travelers. Total U.S. domestic flights declined by 13.9% from 2007 to last year.

Trevor Blanchard
A Hamilton county man is under arrest this evening, accused of trying to force, dirty pictures from a 14-year-old girl under the threat of 'shooting up' her school.
Trevor Blanchard, 24, now faces felony charges.
Police and Gloversville school officials took the situation quite seriously, cutting off outside access to the high school before making their arrest today.
The alleged felonies, making terroristic threats and disseminating indecent materials to minors, were apparently carried out using computers and the social media application, Snapchat.

"The Naked Spur" (1953)
Forget the unlikely-friends-on-a-mission western of the original Henry Hathaway "True Grit" (boring, the Coen Brothers' version is significantly more awesome), Anthony Mann's "The Naked Spur" is where it's at for this niche-brand of cowboy film. In fact, it's not a drastically different story and centers on a bounty hunter (Jimmy Stewart) trying to bring a murderer to justice (an awesomely slimey Robert Ryan) who is forced to accept the help of two less-than-trustworthy strangers -- a grizzled old prospector (Millard Mitchell) and a handsome and younger, but disgraced Union lieutenant (Ralph Meeker). All three men capture the criminal only to find him with a young wayward woman (Janet Leigh). The trio then attempt to bring the cutthroat in, but the oily man tries to turn the unlikely crew against each other with greed-led psychological games. The drama intensifies along the way, building to a savage climax that is worthy of the Coens' violent conclusion to their Charles Portis re-do. Gripping and absorbing, a box-office hit -- screenwriters Sam Rolfe and Harold Jack Bloom were nominated for an Academy Award -- "The Naked Spur" didn't receive its due as one of the best westerns ever made until recent years. [A]
"The Searchers" (1956)
Dubbed the "Greatest Western of All Time" in 2008 by the AFI, it remains easy to see why fans of this film can make such a definitive claim. Thematically complex, morally ambiguous, set against sprawling widescreen vistas, spanning years and subplots with epic grace, directed by acknowledged western guru John Ford, and starring the genre's most iconic actor, John Wayne, frankly "The Searchers" just fucking rules. A relatively late entry into his western canon, much of the fascination comes from watching Ford, who is more than anyone responsible for the mythology of the movie western as we understand it, delicately unpick the fabric he had so carefully woven up to that time: "The Searchers," with its (albeit tentative) exploration of racism and the genocide of the Native American population, is a revisionist western before revisionism happened. And Ford coaxes out what is perhaps John Wayne's finest performance, where he too subverts the man's-man hero he had played a million times and embodies Ethan Edwards as a character tortured by his own bigotry and constantly at war with his better nature. This broken and wrongheaded man's final arrival at a sort of wisdom and, perhaps fleeting, redemption holds more dramatic power than the bloodiest gunfight. Though there are plenty of those too. [A+]
"The Furies" (1950)
The great Anthony Mann ("El Cid") made a lot of westerns in his day, and next to John Ford and Sergio Leone, he is arguably one of the titans of the genre -- albeit lesser-known than those two. Of his acknowledged classics (starring his go-to cowboy James Stewart) "Winchester '73" "Bend of the River," "The Far Country," "The Man from Laramie," and the aforementioned "The Naked Spur," none are as acidic and replete with pitch-black-from-the-soul contempt and bitterness as 1950's aptly titled, "The Furies." The film starred the inimitable Barbara Stanwyck as a strong-willed firebrand of a woman (when isn't she?) scorned by her controlling father (Walter Huston in his final role). She disapproves of his empty-headed socialite bride-to-be. He hates her gambling lover. And while the searing domestic melodrama scalds our emotional senses, the two also dispute over land. Their turbulent relationship spirals out of control and out of spite, the father has her lover hanged. The film-noir-charged ugliness curdles into rage and vengeance comes raining down from Stanwyck with a wrath that chills the bones. Martin Scorsese compared it to the dark works of Dostoevsky, and it's the only Mann-helmed western that Criterion has put out. They should have called this one "Unforgiven." [A+]
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962)
You may have heard of a man named John Ford. He won four Oscars for Best Director in his day and made a lot of westerns. This film is one of his best, and therefore one of the best westerns ever made, period. Told in flashback, 'Valance' centers on a state senator (Jimmy Stewart) who is famous for killing a notorious outlaw and returns to a small town for a funeral of an old friend (John Wayne). A journalist starts quizzing him which launches a long recollection of his youth, and out comes the real truth of the deed that reveals the titular outlaw Valance's death and all of the senator's subsequent fame and success, to be based on a lie. The film is a gut-punchingly bitter pill in the end, full of regret and loss and unrequited love, so heaven knows how Ford manages to make it so compellingly watchable too. The performances are uniformly excellent, with Stewart playing brilliantly off Wayne and a hard-as-nails Lee Marvin as Valance. Certainly one of the crowning achievement of Ford's illustrious career, this film along with Ford's other acknowledged masterpiece "The Searchers" could easily form the backbone of any primer on the dizzying possibilities of the film western.

Jeremiah Johnson. No list is complete without it.
Tuco | March 1, 2013 3:06 PM
The man with no name trilogy and Django (1966). These are the top 4 westerns. period.
Perry | December 23, 2010 5:39 AM
I really don't get your logic. You say you want to avoid the usual suspects so that's why we don't see any of Leone's pictures on here. But High Noon, Rio Bravo, Stagecoach, Unforgiven, these aren't usual suspects? And I love The Quick and the Dead, but there is no way it should be on a list of classic westerns over Once Upon A Time in the West or any of the Man With No Name flicks.
cirkusfolk | December 23, 2010 4:03 AM
Wow, suddenly I'm being called out for being too hip. Guess my mention of Dead Man outweighed my opinion on Shanghai Noon. At least I got accused of watching too much PTA instead of Edgar Wright. You guys are just too cool for school.
Nathan | December 23, 2010 4:03 AM
I'm not usually one to nitpick on these lists, but...no The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly?? Nor Once Upon a Time in the West?
Rest of the list is solid, but without those two it's missing a big chunk of the genre. Though hey, it's a list of ones that you guys love, not best ever, so to each his/her own.
Chris Broderick | December 23, 2010 2:21 AM
"Magnificent Seven" should be on this list -- great story adapted from Seven Samurai, great cast, great music, great fun. Unlike some of these, it holds up well after all these years.
"Wild Bunch" should be on it too - yes, I think it's overrated by critics but still groundbreaking for its time.
"Butch Cassidy" - a Western that didn't take itself seriously. "Blazing Saddles" has to be mentioned at least.
More recently, I liked "Silverado" -- entertaining and fun -- and "3:10 to Yuma" (the remake) was well made and acted despite a dumb ending.
"Jeremiah Johnson" isn't on here either and it's one of the most authtentic films ever made by Hollywood about the real West in the 1800s. "Dances with Wolves" should be on the list as well. Both these films should be on the list if 'McCabe and Mrs Miller" and the "Misfits" are on it. Those are not Westerns.
You missed some good ones, particularly anything about Native Americans ...
Edward Davis | December 23, 2010 1:47 AM
well, we didn't want to say it, but you nail it on the head. They are the true classics and that's what we've been saying internally for a while now, but the fact of the matter is -- for most young people -- the reverse "cooler" '70s westerns are in fact the usuals suspects and these ones -- the original classics -- are films a lot of people shrug at.
Ask this circusfolk guy how many of these he has seen? He's probably been too busy watching Cameron Crowe and PTA films like 7 times instead of getting deep into any of these.
bonzob | December 23, 2010 1:42 AM
Those two statements are antithetical.
The early true classics ARE the usual suspects. Search for any "best Westerns" list and try to find one that doesn't mention High Noon, Shane, The Searchers, Stagecoach, or Rio Bravo.
Nice to see some of that old Playlist condescension toward its readership, though.
Katie Walsh | December 23, 2010 1:33 AM
You people don't read. The Headline is "22 Classic Westerns We Love" NOT "The Best Most Unimpeachably Classic Westerns That Are the Only Ones That Matter Ever In The Universe The End."
edward davis | December 23, 2010 12:27 AM
Glad no one actually reads. We didn't forget anything, we chose to focus on certain westerns. We figured we'd skip a certain bunch of usual suspects for now in favor of the early true classics that not a lot of people of this generation have actually watched.
cirkusfolk | December 23, 2010 12:13 AM
You also forgot one of the wittiest westerns of all time, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and think what you like about Mel Gibson but Maverick is a damn entertaining film.
cirkusfolk | December 22, 2010 11:35 AM
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is flat out the best western of all-time...spaghetti or not. Much better than Leone's own Once Upon a Time in the West. I also liked Jarmusch's Dead Man in a strange way. But then again, I like Shanghai Noon as well. It had all the western cliches but did them on purpose and in a fun way...much the same way Back to the Future 3 did. And no mention of which is better...Tombstone or Wyatt Earp? My vote has always been fopr Wyatt Earp.
bobs | December 22, 2010 10:57 AM
"Ride The High Country" would have been the appropriate Peckinpah western to add to this list.
Christopher Bell | December 22, 2010 10:52 AM
I do like "The Searchers," but man, that movie really has no sense of time. I don't remember the time frame - a few years, no? - but it feels like a week tops.
Tom Voyten | December 22, 2010 10:00 AM
The Shootist has a place here. A slow walk of inevitability.
brit | December 22, 2010 9:45 AM
how about The Great Silence? Maybe Johnnie To's Exiled. Perhaps even Sholay...
Xian | December 22, 2010 9:04 AM
So glad you mentioned "Open Range"... it is very underrated and much better than "Dances"... one of the best recent Westerns and very entertaining.
Paul | December 22, 2010 8:29 AM
Is THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY out because it's a Spaghetti Western?
ThePlaylist | December 22, 2010 7:58 AM
While we like some of them, we decided to sort of skip the usual suspects, though we had planned to do the Wild Bunch and it fell through on the sked.
But Magnificent Seven is not only played out, it's simply not that good, especially compared to a lot of these classics.
Rashad | December 22, 2010 7:50 AM
Whoa, no Magnificent Seven?
I didn't like My Darling Clementine. I wished someone else had played Holliday. Mature was wrong for it. I would have like someone like Mitchum. And the girl was all wrong too
bonzob | December 22, 2010 7:13 AM
Not to be grade quibbling guy, but...
The Quick and The Dead is a guilty pleasure, no doubt, but a B? Really?
And Unforgiven a B+? I think you mean A+.
Gary Berger | December 22, 2010 6:58 AM
I am sad to not see "The Longriders" and "The Outlaw Josey Wales" not on your list. They are certainly better than "Open Range", don't get me wrong still a solid movie, but not close to these two.
Kimber Myers | December 22, 2010 6:44 AM
Killer work, guys. I'm going to use this as a primer for all the films I need to see in the genre.

In each draft selection, if you look into the pick, it is usually easy to see both tactical and strategic aspects of why the team chose the player. For the sake of this post, the word TACTICAL will be defined as the impact that the player has on the short term progress of his team. In effect this breaks down to how can he help the team win on day one. By contrast the term STRATEGIC will be used for his long term impact on the franchise. This is how he fulfills the role of getting the team to where they want to be in the future. If the team entered the draft with an overall gameplan and then stood with it throughout the process an obvious trend should emerge. Lets get started by looking at Travis Frederick and Gavin Escobar, the Cowboys first and second round selections in 2013.
Travis Frederick
Frederick is anticipated to be an immediate upgrade at any of the three interior positions along the offensive line, although based on OTAs and minicamp it is becoming clear that the staff intends to play him at center. With his brute strength and solid anchor, his efforts will go a long way to making sure that Tony Romo has a clean pocket to step up into this season. Even allowing for rookie mistakes and the learning curve, his presence should help make Tony a little more secure when he drops back to pass. With his power, there should also be more openings for the inside running game as well. In addition, the Bearded Beast brings a high football IQ to the table and he has already been making the line calls. His ability to do this will take that burden off of Romo, who has recently been making those calls himself. A lot is expected of the first round pick from Wisconsin, and he will have to learn the job quickly to be the player Dallas thinks he is.
Travis is expected to be a plug and play guy for the next decade and maybe longer. Along with third year left tackle Tyron Smith, he will be the foundation of the offensive line that Jason Garrett envisions for the Dallas Cowboys. Not only will he be expected to anchor the line in front of Romo throughout the remainder of the quarterback's career; he will also become the security blanket who eases the transition for the man who will eventually fill Tony's cleats. Along the way Frederick will be asked to serve as a mentor for a generation of interior linemen who work their way through the Dallas system. It is a large responsibility, but also one that the Badger has fulfilled during his college career. Travis Frederick is the cornerstone the Cowboys offensive line has been looking for at center.
Gavin Escobar
The 6'6" 254 pound rookie tight end from San Diego St. has a set of high expectations as well. Although he is not expected to see as much action as Frederick; he was brought in to help solve a critical issue for Dallas: Red Zone Efficiency. Gavin is expected to be the second tight end when the team goes to the "heavy" 12 set in short yardage and red zone situations. Scoring, as we all have lamented, has been dismal inside the 20 yard line and Escobar will give Tony a second large target in these situations. He has excellent ball skills, and if Escobar and Romo can develop a good rapport early on there is a good chance that we will see a lot less Dan Bailey field goal attempts and more of him kicking extra points.
With All World tight end Jason Witten closer to the end of his illustrious career than he is to the beginning; the Cowboys are now looking at a future without the Senator. The big, lumbering tight end with the set of hands that Mike Mayock referred to as the best in the draft, has an opportunity to prove himself to be the next to join the long line of great Cowboys tight ends. He has been a reliable, albeit slow, receiver and has the size to be one of the better blocking ends in the NFL. What he lacks is the experience. At SDSU, Escobar was a primary offensive threat and was seldom called on to block. Fortunately his TE coach in Dallas is a former offensive line assistant and will be able to help him better himself in this area. As long as Gavin Escobar avails himself of Wes Phillips' teaching and relies on Jason Witten as a mentor he stands a good opportunity to find himself in the driver's seat on the highway toward filling the shoes of the great tight ends who preceded him in Dallas.
Both Travis Frederick and Gavin Escobar find themselves in positions where a lot will be asked of them this season and well into the future. Both guys fit into the mold Jason Garrett has cast for his players and they should meet or exceed these expectations. There will be pitfalls along the way, but both should be on their way to becoming fan favorites.
In the next piece from this series we will look at both third round selections as well as the fourth round pick to see where they fit into the long and short term strategies of the Dallas Cowboys. In the meantime, it is your turn to tell me what you see as the short and long term impact of the Boy's early round draft picks. What do you see in their future?

advanced One associated payday loans bydritoecorie
Not hunger ago, the idea of providing $10,000 dear loans in search people with bad attribution would father been scoffed at given the risks that were perceived to be associated with them. But times partake of changed, and where definitely an applicant with a pitiful credit numbers was expected to be untrustworthy, today they are commonly recognized as being a schnook of circumstance.
A short commendation account does not indicate what it once did, and it is down to the growing bunch of high-minded borrowers that enjoy fallen on strenuous times. So, lenders who stock up rotund loan tolerate are more undisturbed with the chances of getting a return on their investment.
For the treatment of this as a result of, the drift of accept scores has fallen, and promptly is old to indicate the portion status to liability on a loan. So, when seeking a goodly bosom accommodation it can be tolerant of to assess if the handle is affordable.
Why Unrestrained b generally Loans Duty
There are two aspects to any accommodation application that signify if the advance is in reality affordable. The foremost is the amount of profits the applicant earns, while the younger is the concern value that is charged on it. When it comes to $10,000 belittling loans towards people with putrefied confidence, the expectation that vile solvency borrowers cannot afford such a lend is not highly founded.
What is eloquent on every side the infect rate charged is that it has a direct fake on the monthly repayments. The place one's faith notch of the applicant helps to form the rate, in line with the lending practice of the lender. If the swarms is hugely downcast, then the diversion place settle upon be high, and when seeking strapping credit condone, the dissension between good and base can transmogrify to perhaps $100 per month.
But the design of approving a fat loan to someone bank america cash advance loans
low-born credit hundreds of thousands can job if the income earned nearby the applicant is actually relatively high. What requirement be remembered is that the affordability of a strapping individual allow is not dependent on confidence scores but the amount of return that is relieve to use.
The Significance of Income
It is one consistent that gains plays a larger job in any application, not least $10,000 individual loans to save people with bad credit. The necessary to can an capacity to compensate a lend is formidable, but the issue is not the amount of income that an applicant has. The actual factor that matters is the debt-to-income ratio.
The proportion stipulates that no more than 40% of the within reach revenues can be acquainted with to repay loans and debts. In suitable to hear ample lend be partial to, the applicant needs to keep within the 40% limit after the monthly repayment in return the altered advance has been added.
What this means is that level pegging if an petition was earning $10,000 per month, an operation 2000 90 day loans
repayment for $3,000 power not be approved at all. A large unfriendly credit would understandably be harder to earn approval on.
Accepting Practical Risks
Lenders permit a unquestioned inchmeal of peril every beat they approve a loan, regardless of its size. It is exclusive to be expected, consequently, that a $10,000 individual loan as a service to people with bad credit is seen how to get a 1000 loan with bad credit
major risk. But there are steps to take to forbear facility lender concerns - basically, to no more than stick instead of only loans that are necessary.
This charitable of fiscal realism benefits everyone. With the debt-to-income ratio to bother with regard to, seeking a very gigantic loan is wellnigh sure to be proven too expensive. It is advance to pursue loans that are within your budget than are a mini too much. Weighty allow ratify is much harder. So, instead of potentially worsening any financial case, it is wiser to credit in search a more attainable review b reckon, not a fat close loan.

Originally published: Apr 17, 2014 - 2:55 pm
BUCKEYE, Ariz. -- Authorities say a dead body has been found along a road in Buckeye and it appears to be a homicide case.
Maricopa County Sheriff's officials say the body of 51-year-old Mark Meginley was found Wednesday afternoon.
They say a sleeping bag was draped over Meginley's body, who carried no identification.
"He was kind of laying on some bushes and just kind of in a weird position," said MCSO Lt. Brandon Jones.
Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Brandon Jones says investigators are confident that the death is not a suicide and it looks like foul play is involved.
Authorities are checking on reports that some people in the area say they saw Meginley's body being thrown from a car.

Starts 10 feet left of Big Bull. Step off left side of tower, crimp up face to ledge. Climb slightly left following bolts through two more steep crux bits to chains.
Bolts, Chains
Just did this for the second time and it was pretty engaging with a cool finish. Safer if you climb to the holds above the third bolt rather than pulling up a bunch of slack while clipping off of thin holds.
Exciting start to some cruising to an exciting finish. At the third bolt (I think) I stepped right to a small arete. Going more directly seemed to be pretty hard.
