The Yorkton Curling Club and the Gallagher Centre played host to the 14th annual Yorkton Regional Invitational Bonspiel this past Friday and Saturday.
In total 28 teams, 14 female, eight mixed and six male, took part in the two day bonspiel with round-robin play taking place all day Friday and concluding on Saturday morning.
Playoffs for all three divisions were held on Saturday afternoon, with four teams from each division qualifying for the semi-finals.
In the mixed division the number one seed Foam Lake Panthers knocked off fourth seed Kamsack 5-3 before dispatching third seed St. Paul's 12-0 to take gold.
Top seed Ituna 1 trailed from the second to the sixth frame in their semi-final match against fourth ranked YRHS in the female division before picking up three points to force a shootout. The Trojans completed their comeback with a 4-3 shootout victory to move on to the finals, where they took on second ranked Esterhazy, who had previously defeated Foam Lake 7-2. Ituna proved why they were ranked number one as they led Esterhazy for the entire game to take the gold medals via a 5-1 final victory.
It was a battle of the underdogs in the male final. The third seed Saltcoats Mustangs and the fourth seeded St. Michael's Stars met in the gold medal game after St. Michael's upended top seeded YRHS 6-3. Meanwhile Saltcoats trounced second seed Norquay 5-1 in their semi-final.
St. Michael's magic ran out with the last rock of the bonspiel however, as a missed final shot resulted in a 4-3 Saltcoats victory.
And while only three teams were able to win gold, bonspiel organizer and YRHS curling Coach Grant Bjornerud felt that every team that participated left with something just as important; the experience and opportunity to curl. "Our idea with this bonspiel was to give kids a curling experience," stated Bjornerud. "It's also a chance for the kids to learn some curling skills and possibly get hooked on curling."
Bjornerud also credited the other two men who were responsible for such a successful bonspiel, Steve Farquharson and Larry Folk, who, along with Bjornerud, have been involved with the tournament since day one 14 years ago. He also commended the work that the coaches from each participating team had done leading up to the bonspiel. "The people in the schools and the coaches in the city and the smaller towns are doing a good job of recruiting these kids. The put a lot of work into getting these kids competitive at curling and without them this bonspiel wouldn't see the success it has in the recent years."
"It's great to see all of these young curlers out here competing."
With a total of 112 young curlers competing in the 14th annual Yorkton Regional Invitational Bonspiel one thing is clear: Curling is safe for yet another generation.

This printer may be sufficient for use in a home that does little printing. However, it is not suitable for an office or home office that does frequent printing. I am a tax preparer and print hundreds of tax returns each year. The printer is expensive because it uses a lot of toner. It also has a very small capacity paper tray, which means refilling the paper frequently, sometimes in the middle of a print job. When it jams, it does not automatically reprint the ruined page. It also will not print the bottom row of a label, such as for a file label or shipping label. The first printer of this model that I purchased stopped working after 30 days. Because the 14 day warranty had expired, I had to replace the broken machine with the same model. The second one has lasted seven months so far. My prior HP printer, a laserjet 4100, lasted twelve years with heavy use. I am very disappointed in the performance of this printer. I will not purchase another one.

HP laserjet pro m401 printer
Comments about HP® LaserJet Pro M401n Printer:
very fast, very clean printing, easy to install, affordable. toner might end up being expensive depending on how often I need to replace.
Comments about HP® LaserJet Pro M401n Printer:
We have many of these printers deployed in harsh environments. They are printing in small cabinets outdoors with no air or heat in a very dusty environment for trucks to get tickets. They pretty much just work, jams here and there but in our situation that's to be expected. Out of a few dozen of these printers only have had 3 fail in about 1.5 years. 1 was from a power surge, the others just stopped feeding paper. Replaced with new ones and they are chugging along well. I'd buy again, and will.

Perfect for our home
Comments about HP® LaserJet Pro M401n Printer:
Connection and set up are a breeze. Pretty much plug and play. We can now print from smart phones, tablets and laptops from within our Wi-Fi range at home. This has really provided a great solution to our prior multiple printer configuration with many different toners and inks. Now we can all share this one machine for our printing needs. The cost per coipy is very low. The best feature is the ePrint where we can email a document to the printer and print it even if not within Wi-Fi range. The email address can be customized (So it is easy to remember).

Weekly tax highlights - November 3, 2011

Deloitte comments on draft foreign affiliate rules
On October 19, 2011, tax leaders from Deloitte provided comments to the Department of Finance on certain policy issues related to the draft foreign affiliate legislation that was released on August 19, 2011. Our comments focused primarily on the upstream loan and the hybrid surplus provisions.
Read more in our letter.
Comments invited from stakeholders on RDSPs
Registered Disability Savings Plans (RDSPs) were announced in the 2007 federal budget and were launched in 2008. They are intended to assist parents and grandparents to ensure the financial security of children with severe disabilities. RDSPs were scheduled to be reviewed in 2011, and this review was announced on October 21, 2011.
The government aims to gather input from those who benefit from these plans, including individuals, families, groups representing Canadians with disabilities and financial institutions, to ensure that "RDSPs continue to accurately reflect and address their true needs". Various issues will be examined, such as questions related to establishing plans, accessing savings plans, plan termination, the administration of the program and the reduction of red tape.
Comments are due by December 16, 2011. Further details about the consultation process can be found in the Department of Finance announcement.
Quebec: changes to the tax credit for green vehicles and the refundable R&D tax credit
On October 27, 2011, the Quebec Minister of Finance released Information Bulletin 2011-4, which proposes various changes to the Quebec taxation system including:
- For extended range rechargeable hybrid vehicles acquired or leased under a long-term lease contract after March 17, 2011 and before January 1, 2012, the amount of the tax credit allowed for the acquisition of such a vehicle will be $7,769 if the vehicle is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 16 kilowatt-hours and $8,000 if the battery's capacity is 17 kilowatt-hours or more
- Modifications will be made to the information contained in the return filed by taxpayers who claim a refundable tax credit for research & development salaries for taxation years ending after March 30, 2010. This change will apply where the taxpayer claims an amount paid to an arm's length subcontractor who participates as a subject in a clinical trial conducted within the standards in the Food and Drug Regulations. In this situation, this subcontractor will be identified with his or her name and date of birth on the return. The subcontractor's social insurance number will no longer be required.
The Fiscal Monitor – budgetary deficit of $10.7 billion for the period of April to August 2011
In the October 2011 edition of The Fiscal Monitor, the Department of Finance provided an overview of the budgetary deficit for the first five months (April to August) of the 2011-2012 fiscal year. The deficit in August was $3.6 billion. Thus, the total deficit for the five month period was $10.7 billion, compared to a deficit of $13.5 billion reported in the same period last year. For the five months combined, revenues increased by $3.1 billion, or 3.4%, to $95.9 billion. Total program expenses in that period were $93.3 billion, down $0.3 billion, or 0.3%, from the prior year.

McCoy, Scotty, Checkov, and Kirk all died in various episodes. Spock didn't die until the movies.
Well… There was one episode where an important plot element was that Spock's body, being "borrowed" for use by an advanced energy being, supposedly was killed by a super overdose of some drug. Everyone had to be fully convinced that Spock had received a fatal dose so that the energy being also would believe it and would flee the body.
Many of the other deaths of major characters also turned out to be staged. Others were mistaken impressions, with passing out being mistaken for death, or with death assumed without direct witness, etc. Right now, I can think of only two (Scotty and McCoy) that were genuine deaths "fixed" shortly afterword by amazing bring-people-back-from-the-dead medical interventions via alien machines.
I guess I must have been a serious old serious junkie while growing up that I would remember all of this. #sigh#
There was a time, before ST:TNG came out, where I could see about 5 seconds of an original episode and know the plot, the season, and the title of the episode.
Although I'm not a Star Trek or Star Wars fan I've always enjoyed sci-fi & horror movies all the way back to the fun and sometimes classic black & white movies.
That being said, I never really liked zombie movies (could take them or leave them) but knowing how damn good AMC series programming is, I tried not to get roped into watching the Walking Dead (I already knew how very popular the print version was), but my Sunday evenings are pretty slow & relaxed (on purpose) so I watched it once and now I'm hooked. The show is an outstanding production and you could take the zombies out of it and it would still be a great show in how people cope and survive in the "end of the world" as we know it situations.
I loved the old AMC when they only showed B&W movies but they are even better now. I love how (unlike other networks) they are ending a very popular series, Breaking Bad this last season because it has run its course instead of continuing it for more seasons, like other networks do to their shows, just because it gets great ratings.
"I guess I must have been a serious old serious junkie while growing up that I would remember all of this. #sigh#"
It's probably because your brain was so young then and could absorb things like a sponge. I can recall being impressed in the early 1940's by the fact that Dick Tracy was at the bottom of a well-like thing and a huge rock was gradually inching down on him and would crush him. (I believe he escaped out the bottom somehow.) Another time he was being starved by some fiend like Pruneface and subsisted for awhile on a daily wedge of turnip and the water from a fork. All this got my childish mind all wide eyed.
My first sci fi was Saturday serials at the movies in 1951. 30 minute 2 reelers with a real cliff hanger every week.
Right you are about being staged. McCoy was killed in Shore Leave, and Nomad killed Scotty. But Checkov also died for real. In Spectre of the Gun, he was one of the OK Corral people, got shot in the saloon.

Om Alone
The Buddha once used a similar situation to make a point about spiritual striving. His student was a musician by training, a lute player named Sona, whose approach to meditation was interfering with his progress. He was trying too hard and getting in his own way. "Tell me, Sona," said the Buddha, "when the strings of your lute were too taut, was your lute tuneful and easily playable?"
"Certainly not, Oh Lord," Sona said.
"And when the strings of your lute were too loose, was your lute tuneful and easily playable?"
"Certainly not, Oh Lord," the musician repeated.
"But when, Sona, the strings of your lute were neither too taut nor too loose, but adjusted to an even pitch, did your lute then have a wonderful sound and was it easily playable?"
If energy is applied too vigorously it will lead to restlessness and if it is applied too weakly it will lead to lassitude. In a foreshadowing of the "analytic attitude," the Buddha knew that too much effort could overwhelm the wonderful sound that we are seeking.
As I continue to take classes with my yoga teacher, I can see how much he wants to create a spiritual environment for us. While his intention is noble, our yoga postures are burdened by his desire for them to be special. His class provides a special challenge, one that I did not bargain for at the beginning. It recapitulates an all-too-familiar childhood drama, in which parental expectations can overwhelm a child's burgeoning self-expression. I have come to look forward to it as a unique form of therapy, one in which I can practice being free while imprisoned in the mind of another.
Mark Epstein, M.D., is a psychiatrist in New York and author of Thoughts Without a Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective (Basic Books, 1996) and Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart (Broadway Books, 1999). He's been a student of Buddhist meditation for 25 years.

The Lubbock District Attorney's office has formally filed felony charges against accused kidnapper Stephanie Jones.
Jones is accused of taking Priscilla Maldonado, from her parents home, just days after she was born. A day after an Amber Alert was issued, a tip led police to Jones who then showed police where she left Priscilla.
We learned Monday, that in her statement to police, Jones confessed to the kidnapping, but also said she wanted to give the baby back. That's why she says she went to the Savoy Condominiums. Jones claims she asked a woman in the parking lot to call police and tell them where the baby was. But police say, Jones did not wait to see what happened, instead she drove home and left the baby Priscilla outside in 100-degree heat.
Jones is charged with kidnapping and child endangerment. The case will now go to a Lubbock County Grand Jury. Jones remains in the Lubbock County Jail on a $150,000 bond.

Republican Rep. Tim Kelly, of Red Wing, Minn., introduced a bill Wednesday to establish civil unions in Minnesota as an alternative to legalizing same-sex marriage.
The bill was introduced in the House with bipartisan support. The proposed legislation would add the words "civil union" next to the word marriage in state law and defines those as "a civil contract between two parties, recognized by the state of Minnesota."
"As I stated, this bill will absolutely give all the benefits and limitations by the way of marriage to same-sex couples," Kelly said.
Kelly was one of four Republicans to vote against the constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage, but still believes gay marriage supporters went too far when their campaign shifted from defeating the amendment to legalizing same-sex marriage.
According to Kelly, the civil union bill is an attempt to find middle ground by granting same-sex couples the same statutory recognition as a man and woman; however, supporters of same-sex marriage don't view it as a viable option.
House Speaker Paul Thissen (DFL-Minneapolis) called the civil union bill "an idea whose time has passed and would simply create a new separate and unequal category."
Sen. Scott Dibble, the chief offer of the Freedom to Marry bill, echoed Thissen's criticisms.
"Civil unions really are unequal, separate," Dibble said. "You know they just don't do the job."
The Minneapolis Democrat said civil unions would be a "legal construct" specific to Minnesota that couldn't be recognized outside Minnesota or give them access to federal rights and benefits related to marriage, particularly if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the federal Defense of Marriage Act as its currently considering.
"We're moving forward with marriage this year," Dibble said. "The time is right."
Dibble's bill would strike the words "man and woman" from state statute and replace it with "two persons." It would also remove the prohibition of "a marriage between two persons of the same sex."
The Star Tribune polled 800 Minnesotans at the end of February, before either of the bills were introduced, and found a slim majority of Minnesotans -- 53 percent -- oppose ending the ban on same-sex marriage; however, that majority was within the 3.5 percent margin of error. The paper did not share its methodology.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, a total of eight states allow civil unions or domestic partnerships that mimic full marriage rights. Nine states and Washington, D.C., directly allow same-sex marriage.
New Jersey was one state that adopted civil unions, but health benefits were frequently denied to same-sex couples under a federal law. In a 2008 Review Commission report, the state's bar association called civil unions "a failed experiment" that was shown to "perpetuate unacceptable second-class legal status."
It's still unclear whether the proposed civil union statute would require same-sex couples receive equal treatment in terms of health insurance in Minnesota. Kelly said that would have to be negotiated with the couples' employers.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Stand Up and Cheer! It's that time of the year where BK predicts against my favorite team and they overcome adversity and shake up the world. I don't know terribly much about Michigan but what i hear is that they are undersized (for the Big Ten, Eleven, Whatever) and shoot the 3 very well. That isn't an altogether terrible thing for your Bobcats as they, too, lack size inside. But, they defend the outside shot very well with a swarming man to man defense. No promises, but it is #BobcatBashUpsetDay. And even if the club loses there will be drowning of the sorrows at Margaritaville, the day will not be a total loss!
Good luck to UC and XU today also. Indiana, OSU, Louisville and UK got off to strong starts yesterday and are representing the Tristate very well.

Every profession has its common mistakes. For journalists, frequent mistakes can range from commonly misspelled words to subject-verb agreement. For those in the food service industry, slip-ups include placing incorrect orders or not preparing a dish according to its recipe. And for roofing workers, mistakes can occur during roof system specification writing and system installation.
To help illustrate correct low-slope installation techniques and some common mistakes made in the field, Denver-based Johns Manville set up a photo shoot at its Rockdale, Ill., plant for Professional Roofing. Following is a selection of some roofing dos and don'ts documented by the photos taken.
For a properly installed bituminous T-joint configuration, the middle sheet needs to be cut at a 45-degree angle as shown in the photo on the left. T-patches are not necessary. Because bituminous products are thicker than single-ply membranes, cutting the middle ply helps provide a more gradual transition through the T-joint when seaming. The photo on the right shows a T-joint without a 45-degree angle, allowing for a possible void.
For EPDM membranes, T-joint seams can be made with 3- or 6-inch tape. When using 6-inch tape, making a 45-degree cut is crucial (as shown in the photo on the left). If a cut is not 45 degrees, the T-joint will move back 6 inches and may not be covered by a T-patch as illustrated in the photo on the right.

WINDSOR, Ontario — Bloody Elbow Radio, presented by Bad Boy, took the show on the road for the first time Thursday, crossing international borders and heading to Caesars Windsor Hotel & Casino, the site of Friday's MFC 29: Conquer, for a live edition of the show following the MFC weigh-in.
Matt Bishop was live on the scene in Windsor and was joined by Forrest Lynn and Brent Brookhouse as we previewed the weekend in mixed martial arts, including Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley, MFC 29 and Bellator 40.
To preview MFC 29, we were joined by the following guests live and in person:
- MFC owner Mark Pavelich (8:30 mark)
- MFC welterweight title challenger Terry Martin (48:00 mark)
- Lightweight Marcus Davis (1:08:00 mark)
- Lightweight Hermes Franca (1:22:30 mark)

"He was really disrespectful. I came up, I'm a professional and he just started talking smack. I got up there and he said, 'I'm gonna knock you out. I trained too hard for this. This is my fight and I'm gonna take it away from you.' And I said, 'You've trained too hard for this? You've had three weeks to train for me. You're getting knocked out.' That's all I said back to him. He was a disrespectful punk, so I was gonna go out there and put on a show but now I'm just gonna go out there and knock this kid out."

This has been going on for weeks, im tired of it. Its one thing to debate "Hating" on players and coaches, but the Franchise? I was in the open game thread, over 20+ people, more like 30 some!! I have wanted to say this for a long time.
Dont get me wrong, I love debating with real fans about players, coaches, etc; but to "DISS" our beloved Franchise and keep saying you give up and done, is BLASPHEMY!!
WTF is wrong with you people? All you people come here and say your "life long fin fans" after we win with a very easy schedule during the 2008 season, we get Brandon Marshall, Bill Parcells, Karlos Dansby, etc; and you say your done with this team?? We have an owner who wants to win, just because he moonwalks on the orange carpet doesnt mean he isnt spending his money to bring us to glory!! Chad Henne sucks, but no one cares, its Dan Henning, then its Davd Lee, now Tony Sparano! Henne never had anything but flashes, thats it! Get over it! Dan Henning is not the best, but he dont throw picks, he doesnt lock on to recievers, etc; David Lee?? You all praised him for the Wild Cat, now its his fault Henne has no touch? He is a career back-up at best. The play calling? It sucks! Our D is awesome! It will be strong for years!! You life long fans are saying all of this, im done - f the fins, I can watch the Heat - Im not going to continue to watch this team win games - If Henne had this we would have done that - Now since the 0.039% chance we had to actually make the playoffs, You are cursing us, REAL FANS? Get The F*** OUTTA HERE!! We were just fine on this site before all of you fair weather people came here!! When we do make it back to glory with a great D for the next 10 years and working on the O, we have Marshall, Bess, Long, the makings, just missing pieces.. When you come back, dont be expecting to be greated with open arms.. Dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!! We dont need you, we dont need your negativity, watch the damn Heat, Marlins, or whatever. Be a Pats , Jest, Steelers, or whom ever is winning fan.. You know what? Im F****** Glad we get to read your BS! Real Fans knew we would be at best an 8-8 / 9-7 tea, we knew Henne was make or break, we knew what to expect and most of us knew how this season would turn out after the first 8 games.. Your not life-long fans!! We havent won a super bowl since 73, not been to one since early 80's!! We have had plenty of losing records!! We won 7 games, there are worse teams!
every damn week I get tired of all the excuses, the people talking junk, you are not fans of our great franchise!
I want better, but I am PROUD TO BE A MIAMI DOLPHIN FAN!! NO MATTER WHAT! Do I want to win? Hell YEAH! You will NEVER see me saying what many of you said in the open thread, fanshots, etc.. If you like Henne, that is your right! If you dont, it is your right! But dont come here talking about the team as a whole and how you are done with us, how we are stupid for supporting our team - QUIT TROLLING!!
Merry Christmas to all of my Fin Friends here!

Bunkley has not reported; trade could be negated
Word out of #Browns camp is that former #Eagles DT Brodrick Bunkley has yet to report and no one knows if he ever will. Bunk was traded Sat.— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) August 1, 2011
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Enquirer. The part about the trade falling apart could be attributed to Andre Knott. I am hoping that this is an emotional thing for Bunkley and he will show up. Remember, Richard Seymour tried this with the Raiders and showed up. --UPDATE-- Until he shows up to Browns' camp, he is property of the Philadelphia Eagles. That means that until Bunkley shows up, the Browns retain their 5th round pick. C'Mon on down Bunkley, we'll let you use Grossi's tanning bed for free! -- UPDATE 2 -- Jeff McLane reports that Eagles GM will have an answer soon on the Bunkley deal. Les Bowen spoke to Eagles DT Mike Patterson, a close friend of Bunkley. Patterson said he would be shocked if Bunkley doesn't show up for the Browns. -- UPDATE 3 -- Deal is dead. Bunkley now traded to Denver.

BPC's worker credit answers both of these criticisms. For starters, the credit doesn't hang on the number of children under the worker's roof. All workers receive a 21.3 percent credit on the first $20,300 of earnings up to a maximum of $4,324. And in two-worker households, both partners get the credit. Thus, a married couple with no children and $40,600 of earnings split equally between them gets a $8,648 subsidy under the BPC plan. Right now, that same couple gets no EITC but qualifies for a $800 Making Work Pay credit, though that temporary subsidy (part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) expires in January.This change would mainly shift benefits to childless workers- like high school kids with summer jobs. I'm generally opposed to social welfare being distributed through the tax code, mostly because it creates a lot of confusion about who pays what in taxes and what it all means, but also because of the companies willing to prey on taxpayers' ignorance.
I heard from too many people rushing off to tax preparers on January 1 to file their returns just to get this huge windfall and to make sure that "someone else doesn't claim my babies" who were willing to take a short-term loan (at a percentage of their total credit, of course). It's gross and stupid and I wish that the IRS wasn't complicit in it.

Waban Square and Coletti-Magni Park were packed Sunday evening as community members gathered to kick off the holiday season in Newton's villages.
The festivities started in Waban with the annual tree lighting and community sing-a-long. The huge tree in Waban Square (corner of Woodward Street and Beacon Street) is now adorned with bright blue and gold lights.
Later Sunday evening, the Nonantum Children's Christmas Party Association kicked off its annual holiday event in Coletti-Magni Park. The block around the park was packed with hundreds of people as Santa made his way down Watertown Street, escorted by a truck from the Newton Fire Department.
After Santa made it into the park, the countdown began. As the crowd shouted, "3...2...1" the lights went on in the park and fireworks filled the sky.
Children then had a chance to visit with Santa and mail their letters to the North Pole.
Do you have photos from the Waban and Nonantum celebrations? Share the photos with your neighbors by clicking the "upload photo and video" button above.
Newton City Hall will host its holiday sing-a-long and tree lighting this Thursday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m.
The annual Menorah lighting in Newton Centre will take place on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 4 p.m.

Hi UncleCheese,
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere in this forum but I couldn't find it. I wondered if it's built into the module the ability to have the default action when clicking on a dataobject in a hasOneDataObjectManager to be selecting that as the associated object not editing it. This means that the user doesn't have to click the small radio button.
Cheers for any help,

No, not supported. I honestly can't think of any way to do that cleanly. I had so many opinions on what should happen when a user just clicks a record in the table, so I made it somewhat configurable -- that is, the first "action" in the row is executed. The radios are not actions, however.. they're something entirely different.

After today's brutal gang rape of the supposedly vaunted Dallas Cowboys, I think it's time (if not a bit overdue) to discuss how much they suck.
Exhibit A: They have a shitty quarterback. Tony Romo has always been overrated and Jon Kitna blows.
Exhibit B: Wade Phillips is a brilliant defensive mind. But he's a fucking terrible head coach.
Exhibit C: Their defense can stop NO ONE. They made David Garrard look like Dan Marino. Of course, we made Kenny Britt look like Jerry Rice, but that was then. This is now. Vick will go Bad Newz Kennels on that shitass secondary.
On the one hand, laughing at the Cowboys misery is like laughing at the already beleagured Hatians who are now dying of cholera. They were already suffering from that horrible earthquake and then they were shit upon by a Biblical pestilence. But on the other hand, the Cowboys are the worst team in football. Now the question on everyone's lips is this: could the cholera-stricken Hatians beat the Cowboys at home? Time's yours.

Yuma, AZ - Sex predators be warned law enforcement agents plan to keep an extra eye out on you to make sure kids are safe when they go door to door trick-or-treating.
One U.S. Deputy Marshall out on patrol says "On Halloween night we'll be making sure the sex offenders are not passing out any candy, lights are not on and that is for the safety of our kids."
It's called Operation Safe Treat. The U.S. Marshals along with the FBI, Yuma County Sheriff's office and other state and federal agencies knocked on doors where known sex predators live throughout Yuma County to also make sure they are registered with police.
From level one to level three no sex offender goes without warning. In a three day span the U.S. Marshals are visiting over 200 sex predators homes.
John Price lives in the same neighborhood as a known sex offender. The thought of his grand kids trick-or-treating in harms way is frightening. He tells News 13, "It scares me, it really scares me because I just hope their out enforcing and watching these young people and I hope the parents go with them and don't just send them out."
The U.S. Marshals say already they've arrested one sex predator for breaking the law and failing to register. Agents say that's one less predator taken off the streets for now.
U.S. Marshals tell News 13 "It's very important to conduct this every year due to the safety of our kids in our community and this is something we give back to our community to make sure our kids our safe during that night."
A simple warning to all parents, tell your children if you see a home without lights and decorations, avoid knocking on that door.

Beman MFX Tips
I just bought 12 new Beman MFX 400's off of an ebay store and have my inserts in and ready to go. With the smaller diameter of these arrows though, I need to get some new field points and broadheads. Any suggestions? I think the inserts are 9/32 so I'm looking more at broadheads than anything else, but I'll take advice on field points as well.
I used the 9/32 field point with my Beman Hunters.
I shoot the MFX 340's and shoot the Spitfire xp's and the Hellrazors, I don't bother with the UBAR's and haven't had any problems.

Well then. After suggesting last week that a defeat was on the cards, perhaps the result against the Texans shouldn't have been a surprise. Nonetheless, I was stunned by the sheer ineptitude of the overall performance on Sunday, and it's not a promising sign for the rest of the season. It truly felt like a watershed moment, in that the shortcomings of the roster were brutally exposed for all to see. Whether it was poor pass protection (both schematically and in execution), toothless run defense or totally inept special teams work, it felt like all of our problems were condensed into one 60 minute event. Don't expect this to be a particularly positive column this week. It truly doesn't deserve to be. And on that note, we begin..
Play #1 - 2nd and 9 from the HOU 44 - 12:24 in the First Quarter - Colts 0 - Texans 0.
The significance of this play? A shambles in pass protection, primarily down to the ineptitude of Jeff Linkenbach. Right at the start of the game when Collins needed to settle in, Linkenbach makes an absolute mess in decision making and leaves Dallas Clark to block one of the best pass rushers in the league, Mario Williams.
As you can see, the Colts are lined up in a base 2WR, 2TE, 1RB set with Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon split out wide in their usual spots. Brody Eldridge is stuck to the left hand side of the line, and Dallas Clark is on the right hand side - both will be in pass protection, on what is effectively a Max Protect PA. I've highlighted Dallas in green.
The fake isn't particularly convincing from Collins, but on a Max Protect it's not the most crucial thing in the world. You can see already that Dallas is having major issues having been left on an island, whilst Jeff Linkenbach at RT (#72, clearly visible) decides to join Ryan Diem in blocking inside, which one would have to conclude was the wrong assignment.
And here we can see why I think that this is on Linkenbach as opposed to schematic - Linkenbach has a moment of realisation, and tries to make it back to help Dallas out. Mario Williams is an athletic freak, and there is simply no way that someone as statuesque as Linkenbach is going to get there in time. The situation is truly lost. Also evident on the play is the difference between Peyton Manning and Kerry Collins - the blocking up front isn't actually bad, though they are admittedly dealing with 2 rushers. There is an intact pocket to step up into, but Collins' pocket awareness is poor to say the least. He stays back and as a result is forced to take the consequences.
..And the primary consequence is taking an absoluting mauling at the hands of a 290lb monster. It's poor all round.
You can see Anthony Castonzo out on an island as well, against Conor Barwin. He does his job admirably, and holds up like we hoped he'd be able to. With Linkenbach however, there seems to be a fundamental lack of awareness as to the situation. Even if schematically he has been told to block inside with Diem (And if this is the case, then it displays a horrifying lack of knowledge and aptitude from the O-Line coaches and the Offensive Coordinator, so much so that I can't believe it's the case), he should be aware that Mario Williams is singled up on Dallas Clark, which is not an acceptable scenario.
Since i've started doing these analysis pieces I have however noticed one thing. When a play breaks down for one reason or another, the reaction of the players involved usually tell the story. Linkenbach's moment of realisation clearly indicates to me that this was a major lapse in concentration and an error of judgement. Not a good start, though at least they started as they meant to carry on.
Play #2 - 1st and 10 from the IND 18 - 4:21 in the First Quarter - Colts 0 - Texans 3.
The focus this week is on sub par protection and poor QB play, so why not include the turning point of the game. We were always going to be fighting an uphill battle, but this I feel is the moment that can be pinpointed when wondering where the game specifically got away.
The Colts line up in their base 2WR 2TE 1RB set with everyone occupying their usual positions - Pierre Garcon out right, Reggie Wayne out left, with Brody Eldridge and Dallas Clark on the line and Joseph Addai in the backfield. As you can see, it's a fairly simple set of routes for Kerry to process, and by the execution of the play it's evident that it is supposed to be a three step drop for the quick out, designed to go to Garcon, running the red route.
As you can see, he's looking to Garcon from the moment the ball has been snapped, and he takes his three step drop and anticipates making the throw. You can see already the issues that Joe Reitz the LG is having in protection - he's been absolutely bulldozed by #94, Antonio Smith. Jeff Saturday doesn't hold up particularly well here either, which you'll notice in a minute.
As I was saying, the protection is clearly breaking down at this point. Reitz has been pushed back several yards, and Jeff Saturday (a bit obscured in the image) has been twisted this way and that. Just out of the picture on Garcon's route is the cornerback, but you can see from the grass in between that this is a makeable throw. Failing that, if Kerry hadn't been staring down Garcon, look at the space that Reggie Wayne has around him. You can see Kerry in the pump motion, but he unfortunately doesn't throw it.
As a result, the protection crumbles further and the poor play by Reitz allows Antonio Smith to get a hit on the ball, causing Kerry to fumble. Shaun Cody is in on the play as well having beaten Jeff Saturday, and it's evident that Ryan Diem at RG is also struggling. Linkenbach gets pushed back as well, but of note is the exemplary protection displayed by Anthony Castonzo, who's matched up one on one with Mario Williams at LT.
The Texans fall on the ball and recover, with great field position which they easily take advantage of.
Here you can see the quandary for Collins - Linkenbach's protection isn't enough to distract the rookie DE JJ.Watt, and his awareness leads him to jump up in an attempt to sabotage the pass. Evidently, it was enough to prevent Collins making the attempt, and instead he holds onto the ball, despite the fact that pass protection is rarely going to hold up on a 3 step drop.
So, Reitz gets tossed around like a child's toy and Saturday is beaten fairly easily. Again, I'd like to point out the fantastic work of Castonzo at LT. I had real concerns about him in this game given his performance against Michael Johnson and the Bengals, but I really do feel that he was one of the lone bright spots for us in this game.
Play #3 - 4th and 10 from the IND 33 - 1:13 in the 2nd Quarter - Colts 0 - Texans 27.
Time to shift focus to our appalling special teams unit. In that, I do not include Pat McAfee. On another team with good ST coaching and players worthy of the field, I think he'd be acknowledged as one of the best punters in the league. As it is, he looks awful. Excuse all the images for this one play, but I do think that the poor quality of our ST gunners needs to be thoroughly highlighted.
The two primary gunners are circled, with the formation fairly routine. The yellow matchup is Terrence Johnson vs Jason Allen, whilst the black matchup is Joe Lefeged vs Brice McCain. Additional coverage will be provided from individuals within the blocking unit. Very routine.
The blocking for the punt is fine, and Patty Mac has a lot of room to work with, without feeling any pressure. Lefeged seems to have a decent jump against McCain, whilst Johnson is blocked off by Jason Allen.
Lefeged evidently doesn't have the speed to really burn McCain, and Allen is mirroring Johnson nicely. The additional coverage units break nicely from the block formation.
..And the lack of speed and block shedding ability really comes to the fore. The Texans have no problem whatsoever in preventing the gunners from getting a clear run.
At this point, McCain totally takes Lefeged out of the play and shoves him viciously over to the other side of the field, where he becomes the closest man to Johnson and Jason Allen. That block is still working well. You can see as the ball comes down the massive amount of space to Jacoby Jones' left, which is where Lefeged was supposed to occupy.
Jones takes the ball, and a path clearly opens up thanks to some good blocking from the Texans ST unit. Special props to Glover Quin Jr (#29) and his great block of Jacob Tamme immediately to the left of Jones. You can see where this is going.
At this point, it becomes a footrace to close the angle. Knowing the Colts roster, you should know that this simply isn't a battle they will win.
Fast forward about 40 yards, and it becomes a race to the corner. Adrian Moten (#57) is the last man back, and to be quite honest, I do feel that he should be pushing Jones out of bounds, regardless of whether he's very quick. He did some excellent work in preseason, but I can't disguise the truth.
Instead what follows is a fairly weak attempt which Jones is able to jump over. Effectively, Moten gives him a weak slap on the arse, almost congratulatory.
Not good enough, i'm afraid. As quick as Jones is, he should be trying his utmost to take him out of bounds, by any means necessary. A simple attempt at pushing isn't enough, because he's not quick enough to get over there in time. I'll get into my analysis of the reasons behind our ST woes in the conclusion.
Play #4 - 3rd and Goal from the IND 9 - 14:27 in the 4th Quarter - Colts 0 - Texans 34.
As tempting as it was to show another attempted solo block on Mario Williams by Dallas Clark, I thought I'd end with some good plays by our stars. The lack of awareness shown by Matt Schaub in this play is also rather amusing, so it's lovely all round.
The Texans line up in a 3WR 1TE 1RB set, with (I think) Andre Johnson and Bryant Johnson split out left, Jacoby Jones out right, with Owen Daniels on the line at TE and Steve Slaton in the backfield. I've circled Gary Brackett in green.
The Colts are going to drop into one of their regular zone schemes for the redzone, but what I like about this play is the role of Brackett. As you can see, he's pressing the line as if to blitz.
He then steps back and sits underneath, in order to prevent Schaub making an attempt at the crossing route.
The coverage is good on the outside (wait, what?!) which forces Schaub to look to his inside routes, and what astonishes me is his lack of awareness here. He fake pumps, and you can see Brackett jump up in a sort of starfish motion to try and stop the ball which doesn't come. Surely Schaub has to notice this movement within his eyeline and consequently avoid throwing it there. Surely.
Nope. He sees Slaton coming in off his delayed route and tries to force the ball in, despite the fact that he absolutely must know that Brackett is lurking.
Gary extends and plucks the ball out of the air, and it's a nice play - but I can't quite overstate how horrible Schaub was on this play. Awful.
One thing though - Brackett makes a run with the ball and gets pushed out of bounds by three different Houston players, and he gets caught up in a mix. Never a good place to be, particularly for someone who we know can be susceptible to injuries.
The rear view offers a better perspective of Gary's stretch interception. Good ball skills, which is what we'd expect from someone that could be said to be below par against the run.
However, the rear view also offers an insight into how he was shaken up on the play, and it's not promising. He's been declared officially out for the game against the Browns on Sunday, and whilst Pat Angerer has looked fairly comfortable when spelling him, we need all the veteran leadership on D that we can get.
Play #5 - 2nd and 3 from the HOU 6 - 9:27 in the 4th Quarter - Colts 0 - Texans 34.
Woo. Something to celebrate on offense! A shutout would've been more symbolic, but I'll take the points, thanks very much.
The Colts line up in a 3WR, 1TE 1RB offense, though structured differently in formation terms than we've come to expect from the Colts offense. Pierre Garcon is split wide left with Austin Collie inside, and Reggie Wayne is curiously placed in the slot. Dallas Clark is attached to the right hand side of the line, and Delone Carter is in the backfield.
It seems to me that the Texans are in man coverage, having blitzed heavily. One thing I would like you to see - look at Anthony Castonzo at LT. Having heaped praise onto him earlier, he gets absolutely brutalised by a club move from Mario Williams. This has an impact on the play, in that it causes Collins to release the ball quickly on the back foot.
You can see just how badly Castonzo is beaten. Collins has to release the ball awkwardly.
Due to the back foot release, the ball is higher than is ideal and away from Wayne's body.
He snags the ball with one hand and toe taps in the back of the endzone. This has always been his primary asset - excellent positional awareness and ball skills as opposed to physical attributes.
You can see here that the throw is in the general area, without being ideal. That's all Reggie needs, and you can see that his technique in making the catch is absolutely spot on.
Lesser receivers wouldn't have made the catch, or would have gone out of bounds at the very least. Possessing a great sense of balance, he's just within the endzone.
You'll have to forgive me for showing this from so many angles, but it was really enjoyable to watch over and over again. Here's another look.
So there we have it. Something to take into Week 2, at the very least.
I'm not going to do a positives and negatives column here, simply because it isn't necessary. The Colts were outplayed in every phase of the game, without exception. On offense the team was stagnant, incapable and turnover-prone. The staggering ineptitude in terms of leaving Dallas Clark 1-on-1 with Mario Williams on a regular basis astounded me. On defense, the team showed itself to be vulnerable to the running game, and the repeated failure to diagnose PA bootlegs was absolutely infuriating, especially when it happened for the 5th time. We did create turnovers, yes. However, a tipped ball and a horrendous decision from Schaub aren't exactly evidence of promising defensive work. On special teams, our old issues resurfaced from the very opening kickoff and further manifested themselves in a long punt return for a touchdown. It's infuriating to watch the same old errors from the same players and coaching staff. Jim Caldwell speaks of adjustments, but these aren't adjustment problems that we should still be having - they're exactly the same as last year. I'm all for turning over a new leaf, but let's not pretend like these are new problems.
On a wider point about the roster - our team is solely built around Peyton Manning. We have large investments on offense in 18 himself, and in Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne in the receiving corps - his favourite targets. Jeff Saturday is also earning a great deal of money, and his relationship with Peyton cannot be underestimated, despite his declining skills. On defense, we have invested a huge amount of money in lightweight defensive ends, who are ideal for when the going is good and we hold a lead. Gary Brackett also has a large deal, and is again another player that's stronger when opponents are chasing the game, given his subpar run stopping skills. The only other player on defense with a large contract is Antoine Bethea - the only defensive player on our team with true skills against the run and pass. Quite frankly, building a team of stars and scrubs which is so focused on one player is absolutely ridiculous, even if he has shown himself to be an ironman like Peyton has. The stars and scrubs policy also has major repercussions for our special teams unit - we're reluctant to play our stars, so we're left with slow, below par individuals on a regular basis. If we are to pay individuals large amounts of money, they need to be playing special teams. We lack the people in the midrange salary area that usually play well on special teams - we can't starve ST of decent resources forever.
Above all this week, I'm really unhappy with the front office management of Bill Polian. A few months back I wrote an article defending him from people that were lampooning on a regular basis. You know what? I've switched sides. I'm fed up of his absolute arrogance with regards the media, and I'm fed up of poor roster decisions and draft picks. If we go back to the 2007 draft (ignoring 2011 because it's too soon) - how many viable starters have we drafted in that time period? Clint Session, Pierre Garcon, Jerraud Powers, Austin Collie, Pat McAfee, Pat Angerer. Whilst we were unlucky with Anthony Gonzalez, our last 4 first round picks have effectively gone down the pan. He undeniably had a big run of success in the earlier part of the decade with his first rounders, but what entitles him to be so dismissive to local media and our fans? The answer: he doesn't have that entitlement. This week on the Bill Polian show (as BBS covered), he talked about not wanting to necessarily get bigger on the offensive line - getting better is instead the priority. Then why was Ryan Lilja let go and replaced by a 340lb 4th round pick (who we have since let go)? Why has Kyle DeVan been released, whilst Mike Pollack remains on the roster? Why is Donald Brown still on the roster when he contributes nothing on special teams?
When the round a player was drafted in has more of an impact than their play on the field, the team will go downhill quickly. Ever heard the phrase 'you will reap what you sow'? Yep. It's that time for the Indianapolis Colts.
