February 27, 2015
ATLANTA (AP) -- Marian Hossa broke out of a slump with two goals and Atlanta beat Buffalo 5-2 to extend the Sabres' longest losing streak in nearly two years.
Johan Hedberg made 37 stops as the Thrashers won the meeting of teams that began the day tied for 10th in the Eastern Conference with 41 points.
Buffalo, opening a three-game road trip, suffered its sixth straight loss for the first time since March 18-27, 2006. The Sabres (19-18-3) have made the conference finals each of the last two years but are in danger of missing the playoffs this season.
Hossa had only two goals in his last 14 games before scoring in the first and third periods.
Pascal Dupuis, Colin Stuart and Ilya Kovalchuk also scored for Atlanta yesterday.
Kovalchuk's league-leading 34th goal came with 15 seconds left after Buffalo pulled goaltender Ryan Miller.
Hossa's second goal gave the Thrashers a 4-1 lead. Buffalo's Clarke MacArthur, called up from Rochester before the game, cut the lead to 4-2 with a goal 9:34 into the third period.

Do you have your eyes on the new Chevrolet Camaro Z/28? Well, if you do, then get ready to pay more on it than what the new Corvette generation costs, because the muscle car has been priced from 75,000 USD, including the 995 USD destination charge. The Camaro Z/28 has been designed in order to become the ultimate track car and it can easily stand out from a crowd thanks to its aerodynamic body kit, to the 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, wrapped in Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires and four-tailpipe exhaust system.
The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 has been equipped with features like the Brembo Carbon Ceramic Matrix brake rotors, with a Performance Traction Management system, with a limited slip differential, a sport tuned suspension, leather Recaro sport seats, a flat bottomed steering wheel and much more. As far as the engine goes, a 7.0 liter V8 unit is found under its hood, which is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The total output produced stands at 505 HP (376 kW) and the peak torque at 652 Nm (481 lb-ft).

Buying Tips
For most players, finding the right bat depends on two basic factors: Your strength and your hitting style.
Youth players need a bat the helps them master their form, technique and batting stance. Beginners should look for a lightweight bat with an increased sweet spot for solid contact. Players at the NFHS or NCAA level require a BBCOR-certified bat. BBCOR stands for Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution. Think about the materials used in the construction of your bat when making your selection.
Composite bats provide optimal balance and a large sweet spot. This lightweight material increases swing speed and minimizes bat vibration.
Aluminum alloy delivers a stronger, thinner bat walls for more pop off the bat. Bats constructed with a double alloy layer offer added durability and power.
Composite alloy, or hybrid bats, are comprised of lightweight material in the handle and a durable aluminum alloy in the barrel. Hybrid bats reduce handle vibration, while maintaining "pop" and performance in the barrel.
Wood baseball bats are great for the cage. These bats provide authentic feel and soundand are more easily customized to match your swing mechanics.
Softball bats for both slow pitch and fastpitch are built in composites and basic alloys, which provide seamless balance and a better controlled swing motion.
Expert Advice
Think about your baseball bats construction when making your purchase:
Barrel Size is determined by the diameter around the bat. The longer the bat, the larger the sweet spotthe spot that releases maximum energy for fastest ball speed. Smaller barrel diameter lightens weight for faster swing speed.
Grip is the covering on the handle of your baseball bat. Rubber grips absorb extra shock when the ball makes contact with the bat. Leather or synthetic leather grips offer a strengthened feel for added contact with the bat. Some bats come with a specialized cushioned grip, which minimizes bat vibrations.
Drop is the bats length-to-weight ratio, or the bats minus number. This factor is defined as the difference of the bats weight, minus its length. Wood bats and slow pitch softball bats are not defined by drop. Consult your league guidelinesdifferent leagues require different drops for legal play.

Having attended last year's soiree, we knew this was going to be one not to miss. In 2012, we got to shake the hand of Adam Levine and splashed around in the pool with a half-naked Flo Rida!
Photo by Ian Witlen
The day began with a poolside party featuring pop princesses Icona Pop and EDM party trio Krewella. Unlike the late-night performers, these soon-to-be A-listers were caught mingling with guests.
Icona Pop's Caroline Hjelt was even seen getting into the pool to take a picture with a few tweens begging for a selfie. Classy move, girl.

Upon arrival at the Fontainebleau, you would have thought Barack Obama himself was lounging 'round, talking politics. With not one but three different security clearances to enter the party, it was clear that no nonsense was gonna be going down.

But unlike every Miami event in history, this party began promptly at 9 p.m., with Miley Cyrus and LL Cool J welcoming the crowd. But it was very clear that most guests had started their cocktail celebration way before sundown. If you have never seen a drunk MILF from the Midwest break it down to the beats of Afrojack, you haven't lived.

I went vegetarian a few year ago and it has been hard to find really decadent comfort foods to eat when you don't eat meat. One of my favorites is Velveeta macaroni and cheese, the one with the little shells.
I will cook up a box and mix in peas and add a little shredded cheese to the top. Oh it is so good. It is not the same as biting into a big cheese burger but it comes close.

Why India feels jilted by ObamaBy Ravi Agrawal, CNNUpdated 11:07 PM ET, Sun April 6, 2014Poll officials carry voting machines in Nagaon, Assam, on Sunday in preparation for the national election. Story highlightsPresident Obama predicted U.S.-India friendship would be defining alliance of 21st centuryIndia and U.S. have been at odds over Crimea and Iran, says Ravi AgrawalIndia blames the U.S. for the arrest of diplomat whose nanny complained of exploitationAgrawal: U.S. needs to hit reset button and take advantage of elections to patch up relationsWhen I left India to move to America 13 years ago, the President of the United States was George W. Bush, a man who was often internationally lampooned for mismanaging two wars and tainting Washington's image abroad. But moving back to India this month, I've been struck by the number of Indians who look back wistfully at the Bush years.For Indians, Bush is considered a better friend than President Barack Obama. In fact, right now, Indians don't see Obama as much of a friend at all. It didn't start off that way. In the early days of his presidency, in 2009, Obama marked India's Republic Day by saying Indians "have no better friend" than the people of the United States. A year later, when he visited New Delhi, he famously predicted India and the U.S. would form "the defining partnership of the 21st century." At the time, Obama won Indian hearts and minds as he chowed down kebabs at the city's famous Bukhara restaurant. The chefs created a special platter that exists to this day -- the Obama platter. (There was already a Bill Clinton platter, as well as a Hillary one.)Today, the platters have gone cold: New Delhi feels jilted. Ravi AgrawalInstead of a defining partnership, Indians couldn't quite define where they stood. Talk of a G-2 -- a U.S. mega-alliance with China, an idea which didn't come from Obama -- inflamed old feelings of jealousy. Washington's impending pullout from Afghanistan, along with its generous aid to Pakistan, has stoked angst. But the real low point was reached late last year when an Indian diplomat in New York was arrested and then strip-searched for allegedly underpaying her nanny. Obama likely had no prior knowledge of the case or the arrest, but still, the perceived American high-handedness turned out to be too much for India to digest. New Delhi revoked privileges to U.S. interests in the country, and across India, there were anti-American protests. Regardless of the merits of the dispute, Indians wondered: If they had no better friend, was this the treatment they deserved?The sense of betrayal is mutual. Washington feels let down, too -- and with some good reason. When Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine this year, India chose not to side with the United States but to abstain on a U.N. General Assembly resolution against the Russian action. (Russia is, incidentally, India's largest supplier of arms.) When Washington sought to coalesce support for stringent sanctions against Iran, the surprise spoiler turned out to be New Delhi, which said it needed Iranian oil. What happened to what was promised to be a close friendship between the world's two biggest democracies? One could look to history for answers. Since its independence in 1947, India -- scarred by centuries of invasions and interventions -- has been a reluctant global player. Its first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, co-founded the Non-Aligned Movement, a group of nations that aspired to steer clear of great powers and their geopolitics. Just WatchedFrosty India and U.S. relations?replayMore Videos ...Frosty India and U.S. relations? 02:42PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedA new age for India's Anglo-IndiansreplayMore Videos ...A new age for India's Anglo-Indians 02:25PLAY VIDEOBut 67 years on from its creation, India is now itself an aspiring great power, already among the top 10 economies in the world. Indian diplomats routinely express their hopes for India to become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, joining the ranks of Russia, the United States, China, France and the United Kingdom. And yet India's foreign policy has remained aloof, lagging well behind its growth. The country has about the same number of diplomats abroad as Singapore, a country with a population 1/250th of India's. The United States, with a population one quarter of India's, has 10 times as many diplomats. How can India make or maintain friendships when it has always stayed at home?Instead of the past, Indians and Americans should look to the future and the potential it could bring. A recent Pew survey shows that despite recent troubles, Indians trust and like America. For every Indian expressing an unfavorable view of the U.S., four Indians are favorable. By another four-to-one margin, Indians say the U.S. is the world's leading economic power, not China. By a margin of 21 percentage points, Indians are more favorable to the United States than China. The data should not be surprising. India and the United States have more in common than they have differences. One may be a parliamentary system, the other presidential, but both celebrate and cherish democracy, however chaotic and frustrating it can be. At any given time, nearly 100,000 Indians pursue degrees in the United States. Many of them stay on and contribute to American society and business. Strategically, as Washington competes for influence in Asia with China, it will find a natural ally in New Delhi. Obama's early rhetoric was spot-on: The two countries share common ideals. But can they share a friendship and nurture it? Both sides need to take a long, hard look at the world around them and wonder what kind of role they want to play and who can help them do it. U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama tour through Humayun's Tomb in New Delhi on November 7, 2010.As Indians head to the polls Monday to elect a new government, foreign policy is not a campaign issue. It rarely is anywhere. People tend to vote for the things that tangibly impact them: the economy, taxes, infrastructure, education, health care. But whether Indians realize it or not, the next few weeks could offer a chance to rejuvenate a troubled relationship. Whoever India's next Prime Minister is, he or she has an opportunity to start afresh with the United States. Washington has already opened a door to this, suggesting that Narendra Modi, the current favorite for PM, will be allowed a U.S. visa. Modi was denied one in 2005 for his alleged complicity in Hindu-Muslim riots 12 years ago. More than 1,000 Muslims were killed. Modi was chief minister of Gujarat at the time, the state in which the riots took place. The last time Washington tried to hit the reset button -- with Russia -- things went awry. But the stakes are too high to not try again. If it gets this one right, Obama will be vindicated: This century's defining alliance may yet be the one between the two biggest democracies in the world.Follow @CNNOpinion on Twitter.Join us on Facebook/CNNOpinion.Opinion on the newsHow AirAsia flight compares to Air France 447 crashPilot Bill Palmer says the AirAsia flight had similarities to Air France 447, which also encountered bad weatherDon't turn your back on these childrenPoverty isn't the only reason why so many parents are paying to have their child smuggled into the United States, says Carole GeithnerIran's hypocrisy in condemning U.S. racism Michael Rubin says it's a farce that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei posted tweets criticizing U.S. policeThe smart thing that makes you stupidRon Friedman says your smartphone may be making you behave stupidly; resolve to resist distractions in 2015Is AI a threat to humanity?Artificial intelligence does not need to be malevolent to be catastrophically dangerous to humanity, writes Greg Scoblete.Welcome to the troll ageThe ability to manipulate media and technology has increasingly become a critical strategic resource, says Jeff Yang.More from opinionAre drugs stifling women?What will happen if the bees disappear?Thanks, Ben Carson, but prison doesn't make people 'come out' gayPowered by Livefyre

Georgetown's oldest yoga studio, which opened in 1997, is closing it's doors at the end of the month. Michelle Keel, Spiral Flight Yoga's owner has not been able to teach since a car accident earlier this year. "That's the part that's really hard," she told us. "We have 500 active students who are studio-less now." she continued. With her lease up at the end of June, and a desire for more space to expand, Keel decided it was time to move on.
Michelle Keel and Susie McMahan
"We're all in denial," a sentiment expressed by Susie McMahon, Georgetown resident and one shared by fellow student, Sarah Adams, "It's a bummer. Driving to yoga will be a real downer."
In two weeks, they'll be looking for new places to roll out their mats. But Wednesday evening, it was "poetry in motion" as usual in Naomi Gottlieb-Miller's class.
Keel is hopeful that her doctor will soon give her the ok to resume teaching yoga. In the meantime, she's busy with "day 15 of my 90 day plan." That plan includes starting her own consulting business to help others start and run yoga studios, something she's had more than 15 years' experience doing herself.
Stop in and say good-bye at 1825 Wisconsin Avenue.

I remember taking my first yoga classes with Eliana B. back when Spiral Flight used to be in a place just up the street. Then Eliana moved to Wisconsin and I made the move to the new Spiral Flight where I met the greatest yoga teacher, Janet Thompson. Initially we were a small group on the upper floor of the studio. In time, all classes were moved to one small studio downstairs. I missed the upstairs but our leaving made way for massage therapists, etc. Another great teacher I became acquainted with a Spiral Flight was Liz Wickert. There are other yoga studios in Georgetown but this one was special because of Janet and Liz and the like. Bummer.
The studio has never been the same since Eliana moved away. This is truly the end of an era. I trust that the great teachers will carry on at another studio - hopefully, it will be close by.
I feel the same way about Janet's classes. Truly exceptional. Do you by any chance know where she is teaching now? I would really appreciate the info. Thanks.
I realize I'm behind the times but I'm curious to know whether you found a good replacement for Spiral Flight and if so, what it is called......thanks!

Boston – November 14, 2012 - The Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC) has given its approval to the 2013-2015 Three-Year Energy Efficiency lnvestment Plans (2013-2015 Plans). Based on an agreement between the Patrick Administration, Attorney General Martha Coakley, and the state's energy efficiency program administrators (PAs), the 2013-2015 Plans expand Massachusetts' nation-leading goals for electricity and natural gas savings from energy efficiency investments into its second multi-year agreement.
The EEAC approved a resolution on the Plans to provide input to the Department of Public Utilities (DPU), which is expected to vote on approval of them in January 2013. The 2013-2015 Plans were filed with the DPU on Friday, November 2, 2012.
The energy-saving agreements for the 2013-2015 Plans commit the state's investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities and the Cape Light Compact to deliver benefits of $8.92 billion with a budget of $2.01 billion over three years through innovative, customer-focused programs that will deliver unprecedented savings and provide short and long term benefits for customers, as well as the economy and the environment.
"Massachusetts is leading the nation in energy efficiency. This plan builds on that leadership, while providing substantial savings to homeowners, businesses and municipalities," said Governor Deval Patrick.
The energy efficiency investments will save 3.7 million MWh of electricity in 2015 from the improvements installed over the three years of the plan — enough to power more than 500,000 households for one year. They will also save over 72 million therms over the same period, enough to heat more than 70,000 homes for a year.
"Reducing our energy consumption will yield significant environmental benefits and help control high energy costs that burden consumers in Massachusetts," Attorney General Martha Coakley said. "The utilities have proposed aggressive, but achievable, energy savings goals, and it remains important for them to monitor those programs to ensure that ratepayers are receiving the full environmental and economic benefits promised."
The cost of the plan over three years will be funded primarily by distribution charges on electricity bills and the proceeds of Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative allowance auctions Benefits are both economic and non-economic, and include the value of avoided energy purchases, reductions in operations and maintenance costs, as well as reducing pollutant emissions and increased worker productivity.
"As the nation continues to recover from a recession, we know just how important utility bill savings are to people," said EEA Secretary Rick Sullivan. "This plan delivers benefits critical to everyone in the Commonwealth, and helps protect our environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
"Massachusetts is an energy efficiency leader because so many of us are working together to meet our clean energy and climate goals," said Department of Energy Resources Commissioner Mark Sylvia. "The efforts of the Attorney General, the Energy Efficiency Advisory Council, the PAs, and my team are again setting a high bar for improving private and public buildings, boosting the economy, and making our environment healthier for everyone."
"Investing in energy efficiency is good for consumers, the economy and the environment," said Senator Benjamin Downing, Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. "This three year plan will build on our nation-leading efforts and will help families and businesses avoid unnecessary energy costs. I applaud the council for their work and look forward to the vigorous implementation of the plan."
The Green Communities Act signed into law by Governor Deval Patrick in 2008 requires the state's investor-owned electric and gas utilities and the Cape Light Compact, which deliver the Mass Save® programs, to prepare energy efficiency plans that secure for their customers all available cost-effective energy efficiency and demand reduction resources. Following an exhaustive process led by Energy and Environmental Affairs' (EEA) Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and Attorney General Martha Coakley's office, the utilities agreed to goals and program costs that will be reviewed by the Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC) in November.
"Massachusetts' nation-leading energy efficient efforts make for a strong economic and environmental strategy," said Jeremy McDiarmid, EEAC member and Massachusetts Director for ENE, an environmental non-profit research and advocacy organization. "This agreement will help us address climate change here in Massachusetts while creating over $8.9 billion in economic benefits."
"The electric and gas utilities have shown incredible leadership in developing these plans. There is no doubt the plans will bring unprecedented cost savings to customers and measurable environmental benefits to the Commonwealth," said Robert Rio, EEAC member and Senior Vice President of Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM).
The 2013-2015 Plans include commitments by the PAs to ambitious energy savings goals that will support the objectives of the GCA, the Global Warming Solutions Act, and the Massachusetts Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2020. The Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2020 mandates a gradual GHG emissions reduction and a scheduling of emissions goals that is designed to spur innovation and promote research and development in the clean energy industry. The Commonwealth set a 2020 reduction target of 25 percent below 1990 levels, and released the plan outlining a portfolio of policies and programs to meet the goal.
The current Three-Year Energy Efficiency Investment Plans (2010-2012) were noted as one of the reasons Massachusetts ranked #1 in the nation for energy efficiency by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) in 2012, the second straight year the Commonwealth earned this ranking.
By the end of 2012, the current three-year effort is estimated to save the equivalent of powering more than 363,000 homes for a year, heating nearly 57,000 homes, and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 288,235 cars.
Energy efficiency improvements by homeowners, business, and state and local government across the Commonwealth in 2011 resulted in savings equivalent to the annual electricity usage of 109,000 homes, the annual natural gas usage of nearly 15,000 homes and the annual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from more than 84,000 cars.

Episode Information
Lewis Carroll may have been the first to coin the term "snark" in his late 19th-century nonsense poem, "The Hunting of the Snark."
What is snark? It's what Americans regularly see on The Daily Show and The Office. It's what Ambrose Bierce wrote about in his watershed 1911 satire, The Devil's Dictionary. For better or worse, snark is an integral part of our comic heritage, and it's not going away anytime soon.
Authors Lawrence Dorfman (The Snark Handbook) and Gina Barreca (It's Not That I'm Bitter ...) join us to discuss the joys of snarking. We'll talk about what makes good snark and what makes bad snark. And how is snark becoming more and more a part of our daily pop culture?
Join the conversation. Do you have a favorite snarky line? Enjoy a certain degree of rudeness in your comedy or is snark just downright disrespectful? Comment below or e-mail [email protected].
Listener E-mail from Karl
On how mean one can be and still be snarky:
Akin to what Gina said ("Snark is smart, truthful, insightful mockery."), the more truthful the basis of the wisecrack, the more vicious it can be.
For that reason, Maureen Dowd's reputation will be used up any week now.
Her predictable joke about Every. Single. Male. Democrat. to come along ("He is too feminine-hahaha") has been detached from reality for about a decade ago.

Member of the Roman Catholic order of religious men called the Society of Jesus. First organized by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1534 at the University of Paris, the order was approved by Pope Paul III in 1540. It discontinued many practices of medieval religious life, such as obligatory penances and fasts and a common uniform, and instead focused on military-style mobility and adaptability. Its organization was characterized by centralized authority, probation lasting many years before final vows, and special obedience to the pope. The Jesuits served as a preaching, teaching, and missionary society, actively promoting the Counter-Reformation, and by the time of Ignatius's death in 1556 their efforts were already worldwide. The success of their enterprise and their championship of the pope earned them much hostility from both religious and political foes. Under pressure from France, Spain, and Portugal, Pope Clement XIV abolished the order in 1773, but it was restored by Pius VII in 1814. The Jesuits have since become the largest male religious order.

Robert Persons (born June 24 1546, Nether Stowey, Somerset, England - died April 15 1610, Rome), later known as Robert Parsons, was an English Jesuit priest.
He accompanied Edmund Campion (who was later canonized) on Campion's mission to aid English Catholics in 1580.
The Jesuit General, Everard Mercurian, had been reluctant to involve the Jesuits directly in the political machinations of the pope against England. The mission was further compromised because the pope had sent a separate group, unbeknownst to the Jesuit mission, to support the Irish rebel, James Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald. Parsons and Campion learned of this in Reims while en route to England. After Campion's capture, torture, and execution, Parsons left England, never to return.
He was associated with Cardinal William Allen in his hopes of a swift conquest of England by the Spanish Armada. With the failure of that enterprise, he spent nine years in Spain.
Recalled to Rome in 1585, he was professed there 7 May, 1587 and sent to Spain at the close of 1588, to conciliate King Philip, who was offended with Father Acquaviva. Persons was successful, and then made use of the royal favour to found the seminaries of Valladolid, Seville, and Madrid (1589, 1592, 1598) and the residences of San-Lucar and of Lisbu (which became a college in 1622). Already in 1582 he had founded a school at Eu, in Picardy, in France, the first English Catholic boys' school since the Reformation; and he now succeeded in establishing at St Omer (1594) a larger institution to which the boys from Eu were transferred, and which, after a long and romantic history, still flourishes as Stonyhurst College at Stonyhurst.
In 1596, in Seville, he wrote Memorial for the Reformation of England, which gave in some detail a blueprint for the kind of society England was to become after its return to the faith.
He had hoped to succeed Allen as Cardinal on the latter's death. Unsuccessful, he was rewarded with the rectorship of the English College at Rome, the most important seminary for English Catholic priests.

Alligator Pool Parties All The Rage With Kids In Florida
Tampa Bay – Invitations to the birthday pool party for 8-year-old Marshall Jones announced two special guests. Friends and parents jumped into the water to photograph and swim with the pair, Cupcake and Burger, two gators from the Alligator Attraction in John's Pass. "Not a single kid freaked out," said Chris Jones, Marshall's dad. But investigators at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission think "gator parties" are unsafe for kids and parents. They have told Alligator Attraction that alligators no longer will be allowed to swim freely in residential swimming pools. The wildlife commission's decision came weeks after the "gator parties" were featured in local media outlets. For $175, workers at the Madeira Beach facility take alligators under 4 feet long to pool parties in Tampa Bay area and allow guests to hold and photograph them. Then the phones started ringing. At least 10 complaints were filed with the wildlife commission. Bob Barrett, the facility's owner, said handlers already take the necessary precautions. Before the gators are placed inside the pool, he said, a handler speaks with party guests about precautions, such as no pulling or chasing the gators. The reptiles' jaws are bound with electric tape. At Marshall's party, Jones said about five kids were allowed in the pool at a time to interact with the reptiles while the handler held the gator. Another is handled by a second worker outside the pool.
It's basically pick your poison with kids b-day bashes nowadays, huh? You could get a pony that might put a hoof through an 8 year old's chest plate. Or maybe one of those bouncy things where you got a no-holds-barred battle royal complete with leg drops, spears & bloody faces. And now Florida has upped the ante with alligators taking dips alongside these snot noses, with a few spins of a 99 cent roll of electrical tape preventing a bloodbath. I guess we can tally a point against the pussification of America – but if I ever get an invite, I'll respectfully RSVP "no". Cupcake & Burger want nothing more than to rip off a face-painted cheek while these stupid kids are lulled into a false sense of security. No reason to be scared of gators IN FLORIDA anymore, kiddies. You swam with one at a birthday party. Burger was a friendly bastard. So when you and your friends are skipping rocks at a pond, go ahead and laugh when your pals hightail it outta there like pussies when one of the MILLION gators inhabiting Florida approach. But you'll soon find out alligators are like black people – just because you're cool with one in a controlled environment like the office, that doesn't mean the rest of them will hesitate for a second to tear you limb from limb & eat your intestines in the wild.
