I use a photo basics 5-1 reflector. It folds up into the size of medium pizza pan. When let out, it's 40" in diameter. It has a choice of reflective surfaces (gold silver, white, etc..) it also has a white screen which is good for producing diffuse shade on a sunny day. (good for outdoor product shots)
It is true you need often someone to hold it, but that goes for any tall outdoor lighting unless there is either zero wind or it's so heavy you don't want to lug it. You could clamp it to a spare tripod, but that's sort of a last resort. You really don't need too complex a lighting outdoors. A fill flash 1.5 stops under and a reflector are about all you need. You don't want to eliminate shadows so much as control their contrast range to something that's acceptable for your end results. If someone comes along with a P&S digicam to distract your subject, put them in charge of the reflector. Tell them where to stand and physically help them aim it till the subject notes that the reflector is shining in their face. Thank them and tell them not to move. Then you can do your work. Instead of being a copy cat, they are part of the process!

"This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I'm sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!"

About this location
The Cornwall region
So just what is it that makes Cornwall special? The mighty cliffs and crashing waves? The glorious sandy beaches?
The wild moorlands and peaceful woodlands? The friendly smiles and warm welcomes? The fantastic food and lively arts scene? Well, we think it's all of the above, and more!
Mevagissey itself is a traditional Cornish fishing village, where you can wander the narrow alleyways, browse the shops and art galleries, relax in one of the many pubs or dine in one of the excellent restaurants. The centre of Mevagissey and the harbour are just a short walk from the house.
There are many great walks to be had from the doorstep, either follow the coast path through some stunning scenary, or take a walk through the woods to The Lost Gardens of Heligan, just 45 min away (or a short drive). The Eden Project is about a 25 min drive. Alternatively, there a number of beaches close by, the closest being Portmellon which is a 10 min walk or the family friendly beaches of Gorran Haven and Caerhays are a 10 min drive. If you're up for day surfing, the north coast is an easy 45 min drive. If you're into cycling there are some great routes from flat and family friendly through to more demanding mountain biking trails.

"Perfect house in a great location with a brilliant view"
Stayed at Seascape for a week in June with other adult family members. The house is lovely, well presented, well equipped and very comfortable. Loved the WiFi and smart TV. The most amazing thing is the view over Mevagissy from the bedroom, lounge and garden. Close to Mevagissy, just a 5 to 10 minute walk, it is perfectly placed for all the restaurants, shops and harbour but without the hassle of parking there. Recommend Heligan, Eden and Lamorran gardens (near St Mawes). Pendover beach and St Ives are well worth the trip. The coast walk to Gorren Haven is nice if you don't want to go too far. Recommend Salamander (for a good evening meal) and Market Cafe (for breakfast and lunch). Hope to return soon.

"What a lovely place to stay!"
Really enjoyed my stay at Megavissey over Easter. The house was such a treasure, beautifully furnished and so well equipped. Seven of us went, five adults and two children and there was lots of room for everyone. The village of Megavissey was a five minute walk away, we spent Sunday afternoon in the pub watching a band and everyone was so welcoming - have not done that for years. Would highly recommend a spending time here.

"We almost wish Seascape could be our secret!"
We stayed at Seascape for a week, 4 of us - myself, husband and 2 grown up boys and we all absolutely loved the house, garden and surrounding village of Mevagissey.
The owners were prompt and efficient to respond to every question both before and after making the booking, and sent a very thorough and helpful description of how to get to Seascape. On arrival at the house we quickly realised how lovely it was inside. Very clean and tidy with new furnishings, tastefully decorated and kitted out with everything you might need for a stay on holiday. There was a very welcome pack of goodies, which happened to be most suitable, since it was my husbands birthday!
The location of the house is very good, with plenty of space off road for 2 cars, but more in the quiet road if necessary.The village centre shops, restaurants and the harbour are very close walking distance. There are splendid views from both the house and garden, during the day or night of the sea, hillside with attractive houses and the surrounding countryside.
The house was very spacious and arranged on 3 levels, making it suitable for a larger number of family or friends to stay. Our adult boys really enjoyed their stay and would have been happy to spend longer in the area. There is plenty to do in this area to do and see in this area of Cornwall. So many different beaches and coves to explore, towns and villages to visit and attractive gardens nerby and further afield.
The garden is arranged in a series of terraces, which adds interest to the landscaping, which is attractive and forms a selection of very useable sitting outdoor spaces, which are useable during the day or at night. The garden lights are an additional bit of fun, which contribute to the "outdoor rooms" where you can have a BBQ or sit and admire the views while having a quiet drink. The large decking area adjacent to the house would be a suitable area for younger children to safely play, and for the older children, the two TVs, a play station or DVD player would also no doubt help! Also, plenty of space in the house to spread out and 'do your own thing'. On the practical side, the utility space has washing machine, tumble drier, clothes airer, sink and places to put your wet suit - all very well thought out and most useful.
In all, Seascape was a real find - a most comfortable and enjoyable holiday and the best place we have stayed in to date. We would all strongly recommend a visit.
The only only one interesting thing we found was when we ate out at the local Indian restaurant, a few addition numbers of dishes seemed to creap onto the bill, and the prices were rounded up a bit - however, on the plus side - the restaurant had given out a 50% discount on the food - just a bit strange - it might have been better to have called it, say 25% discount, and been accurate with the pricing!

"Fabulous house in a great location and amazing views."
We loved Seascape spending five nights over Easter with our 3 grown up children. The house was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped (down to remote control garden lights) and in a great location being just a few minutes walk into Mevagissey. Plenty to do in the area to suit all tastes come rain or shine. Would definitely go back. The owners Robin and Melanie are also very helpful.

FleetCor Successfully Completes Acquisition Of CTF Technologies
FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT), a global leader in providing fuel card and workforce payment products to businesses, today announced that it successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of CTF Technologies, Inc. ("CTF") for $180 million.

"We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our acquisition of CTF, which is consistent with our global acquisition strategy of identifying attractive assets with performance upside. We look forward to implementing our performance improvement strategies," said Ron Clarke, chairman and chief executive officer, FleetCor Technologies, Inc.

There are six units in this building built in 1995 and redone in 2005. The outside of the building, windows, balconies and entry were totally replaced during the renovations. I was told that they used top quality materials and I noticed the same very high quality windows and doors that I had in my house in Germany. Because of the quality of the materials, I expected it to be a little quieter than it actually was. With the doors and windows shut, I could still hear street noise from Elliott Avenue. When I went out onto the balcony I could also hear what sounded like another building's HVAC system. The closet space is great, but I expected the large walk in closet to have some built-ins instead of a few wire racks to hang clothes from. There is a cracked tile in the bathroom floor that needs replacing. The views are spectacular though and the elevator opens right into your unit on your own private floor.

I am planning on carrying two extra mags.
-Carl- "Music hath charm to soothe the savage beast...but I'd try a shotgun first."
Its more of a personal decision. Sometimes i dont carry reloads for my 357, sometimes i carry 4 reloads. Depends on the situation.
The mag is the weakest link in the semi-auto setup. If it goes bad, then I have another.
Amendment II: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Life Member NRA Life Member NAHC Former President of the ECPT (Eifel Combat Pistol Team)
I keep a spare in my left pocket. I dont see a need for belt magazine carry.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I subscribe to Murphy's law which states that: "Anything that CAN go wrong WILL go wrong." Magazines can fail and Goblins can bring friends... Yes, I carry back up mags... Tack
Yep, usually carry one 8 rounder in my 1911 and two 7 rounders in my pocket. As well as a box of ammo in my truck door, and some shotgun shells for my 12 gauge too.
Century Arms AR-15A2, 5.56 1946 Mosin-Nagant M44, 7.62x54R 1978 YUGO SKS, 7.62x39 NEF Protector Pump, 12 gauge Savage Model 64, .22LR NEF Pardner Tracker II, 12 gauge Rock Island Armory 1911A1, .45 ACP Remington 870 'Express Magnum' 12 gauge Bersa Thunder .380
My current primary carry is a Glock 36. Since its only 6+1 having more ammo makes more spence than with my Glock 17 but I carry it as much in case my first mag malfs as for more ammo. So, one in the gun and one on my pocket.
I'm actually trying double carry right now. Have yet to reach the point of paranoia that would mandate extra mags. May though, some day, more likely with the more time I spend around you overthetop crazies.
Extra mag currently. Am trying to decide what I want to do for a back up gun now.
Lol....hm. where to begin... Here's my glove box situation And here's what stays behind my seat (yes i really keep 300 rounds at the ready) And this attack cat protects the alienware.

Jameis Winston wins Heisman
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is close to a month away from playing for the national title, but he already has a prestigious trophy.
More from ESPN.com
Jameis Winston has been through a lot over the last month, but he became the youngest ever recipient of the Heisman Trophy on Saturday, writes Ivan Maisel. Story
• ACC blog • Nation blog
At 19 years and 342 days old, Winston became the youngest Heisman Trophy winner when he was named college football's most outstanding player Saturday night in New York.
He is the second straight freshman to win the Heisman after Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel last season.
"I cannot explain the feeling that I have inside right now," Winston said. "I'm so overwhelmed. It's awesome."
When his name was announced, he popped from his seat and quickly made his way to his mom and dad for hugs and kisses. He smiled and laughed through most of his acceptance speech.
He talked about trusting in the "process" on the field and in life and "after all the things I've been through this past month." He got choked up a bit when talking about his parents.
Mike and Mike
Florida State QB Jameis Winston comments on winning the Heisman Trophy, what this season has been like, preparing to face Auburn in the BCS title game and more.
"When you see your mom and you see your dad and they've been struggling through this whole process and now you see a smile on their face, it comforted me," he said later.
Winston ran away with the ballot, earning 2,205 points. Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron was second with 704 points. Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch was third with 558 points.
Boston College's Andre Williams was the top running back, coming in fourth with 470 points. Manziel was fifth with 421, while Auburn Tigers running back Tre Mason was sixth with 404.
The margin of victory was the seventh largest in Heisman history. Winston earned 668 first-place votes while McCarron was first on 79 ballots.
Heisman Trophy Voting
Player | Total points | No. 1 votes |
Jameis Winston | 2,205 | 668 |
AJ McCarron | 704 | 79 |
Jordan Lynch | 558 | 40 |
Andre Williams | 470 | 29 |
Johnny Manziel | 421 | 30 |
Tre Mason | 404 | 31 |
Bryce Petty | 127 | 4 |
Derek Carr | 107 | 6 |
Braxton Miller | 91 | 4 |
Ka'Deem Carey | 70 | 2 |
Winston was the overwhelming favorite to win the award after a sexual assault complaint against him in Tallahassee, Fla., was closed without charges being filed earlier this month. The controversy may have shown in the Heisman voting -- Winston was left off 115 of the 900 ballots entirely.
"Everyone has their own opinion," Winston said. "It's basically a numbers game, and I was blessed to have the majority vote."
The Heisman Trust mission statement says: "The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity."
"I really believe that people actually just trusted me. People obviously saw us play. But that comes from my team, too," Winston said.
Winston set freshman records by passing for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns while leading No. 1 Florida State into the VIZIO BCS National Championship against Auburn.
SportsNation: Winston Wins Heisman
Jameis Winston has won the 2013 Heisman Trophy. Will he win it again in 2014? Vote »
In his 13 career games, Winston has thrown for 300 yards seven times and has accounted for at least four touchdowns six times. And he did it while playing every snap in just three of Florida State's games, thanks to a bevy of blowout wins.
The Alabama native is on pace to break the NCAA record for passer efficiency rating (190.1). He also leads the nation this season in adjusted QBR (90.9) and yards per attempt (10.9).
"I can't explain how truly intelligent he is," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. "He always wanted to know why he had success or why he had failure so he could either repeat it or fix it."

Anver Emon on Honour Killings
Anver M. Emon of the UofT Faculty blog shares an editorial he published in the National Post recently on the case of Aqsa Pervez.
As a professor of Islamic law, I teach my students about its history, doctrines and modes of analysis. We shift back and forth from common law reasoning to Islamic doctrines. We analyze the differences between the values of the Islamic system and our own value commitments.
Although he does a great job of explaining that there is no basis for these practices in Islamic law, he fails to identify that the tradition this draws from is a cultural one that predates Islam.
An Ancient Code
Laura Jamison explains this pheonomenon in Legalized Murder, in Amnesty International Magazine. She quotes Norma Khouri, a Christian Arab and author of Honor Lost: Love and Death in Modern-Day Jordan:
The tradition underlying honor killing defines a woman's chastity as her family's property. It "comes from our ancient tribal days, from the Hammurabi and Assyrian tribes of 1200 B.C.," Khouri explains. (In Pakistan, it is said to be a Baloch and Pashtun tribal custom). "This practice predates Islam and Christianity. Christian women are being killed this way, too."
When honour killings, as they are often termed, occur in more pluralistic societies, their occurance is often higher in rural non-Muslim Arab communities than Muslim communities around the world.
Bassam Al-Qadhi, journalist and activist, states that religion is not a factor in the killings,
The idea is a societal one, and isn't linked to particular sects. It doesn't have a religious basis, but rather a social inheritance.
Legalization of Honour Killings
Jordan, perhaps the best country to illustrate this, has a significant problem with honour killings because it is de facto justified by law. Gendercide watch explains,
According to Article 340 of the criminal code, "A husband or a close blood relative who kills a woman caught in a situation highly suspicious of adultery will be totally exempt from sentence." Article 98, meanwhile, guarantees a lighter sentence for male killers of female relatives who have committed an "act which is illicit in the eyes of the perpetrator." Julian Borger notes that "in practice, once a murder has been judged an 'honour killing,' the usual sentence is from three months to one year."
Similar provisions are found in the Syrian code,
Article 548 of the Syrian law code, for example, stipulates lenient penalties for a man convicted of killing his sister, wife or daughter if they are found having sexual intercourse with a man other than their husband. Article 242, meanwhile, sets down similarly light punishments for a man convicted of killing a female relative on the mere suspicion of infidelity.
But the incidents are just as prevalent, often moreso, among some rural Christian Arabs.
The Guardian reports a rise in honour killings among Palestinians in recent years. Chris McGreal relates the story of a 22-year old Christian Palestinian murdered by her father for her affair.
[The] father wept as he assured his daughter there would be no more beatings, no more threats to her life and that she was free to marry the man she loved, even if he was a Muslim. All he asked was that Faten return home.
Other Arab communities also struggle with the issue.
The TimesOnline reports a case of a 17-year old Druze girl stoned to death for dating a Muslim boy.
Earlier last year, a Yazidi woman was stoned to death in Kurdish Iraq for dating a Sunni Muslim man.
The entire shocking episode was filmed on a phone.
Warning: Video below contains graphic images.
Per capita, these incidents are more problematic among non-Muslims of rural Arab culture than they are among Muslim in general (given their proportionately smaller populations).
There are even rarely publicized incidents of honour killings in traditional Catholic European families.
Karen Tintori has through her geneological research discovered that her Sicillian grandmother in America was murdered as well after eloping with her barber, but the incident was completely covered up.
But nobody is suggesting this is attributable to their faith, nor should they.
Religious Stance
Haider Ala Hamoudi, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh said on his blog,
First, where the "Islam is evil" crowd goes awry is in the failure to grasp the absence of a strong link between the practice of honor killing to Islamic doctrine. Neither foundational text, meaning Quran and hadith, nor classical exegeses, nor even prominent scholars throughout the Muslim world say very much, if anything, in favor of the practice of honor killing. The few Islamic defenses of honor killings when posted on blogs, or stated by perpetrators in interviews on Arab television or in newspapers, hardly are coherent, let alone sound. It's wrong to point to the absolute absence of a link, most disturbingly, Jordan's Islamist party has, even while arguing that honor killings broadly should not be tolerated, argued vociferously and repeatedly against the repeal of a law, Article 340 of the Jordanian Criminal Code…
The New Islamic Directions blog explains the Islamic position on dating,
In the case of dating, there is no Islamically-mandated punishment for a male or a female seeing a member of the opposite sex against the wishes of their families. Such situations should be handled with counseling, compassion and a healthy dose of common sense.
They continue, even elaborating on the absurdity of trying to tie these incidents in with any specific faith,
At the end of the day, attacks such as the one that resulted in the death of Aqsa Parvez are acts of domestic violence resulting from rage that emanates from a total neglect of Islamic teachings. Ms. Parvez lost her life due to such violence and perhaps there are a few other instances where Muslims women in Canada or here in the United States, have been similarly victimized. However, these instances should be kept in perspective. In the United States there are approximately 1,200 women killed every year by their husbands or intimate partners. There are other "Christian" nations where murders of this type are even higher.
However, Ellen R. Sheeley, author of Reclaiming Honor in Jordan, says,
Some of us know "honor" killings pre-date Islam by centuries and, in fact, are un-Islamic…
When I recently conducted a nationwide survey on "honor" killings in Jordan, over 20% of my representative sample of respondents told me they believe Islam tells them they must avenge affronts to family honor by killing. So there is a dire need for mosque education if we want to prevent even a fraction of these people from acting on this belief.
But condemnations are not limited to authorities in the West. Ahmen Badr al-Din Hassoun, Grand Mufti of Syria, states,
He who kills on claims of honour is a killer, and should be punished. Islamic jurisprudence doesn't allow people to live by their own laws.
Similar condemnations have been issued from Christian and Druze community leaders.
Proposed solutions
The author on New Islamic Directions proposes,
Practical steps include the following:
1. Emphasize that such killings have no sanction in the Qur'an, the Prophetic practice, or in Islamic law.
2. Declare anyone guilty of involvement in honor killings to be a cold-blooded murderer.
3. Encourage judicial authorities to enact the harshest penalties possible for anyone accused of involvement in such killings.
4. Educate our Muslim communities, especially in the West, about the un-Islamic nature of honor killings, and the pressures, nuances, challenges and complications facing young Muslims, male and female in the West.
5. Work to eliminate the double standards, and to expose the hypocrisy that exist in our communities, generally, concerning attitudes and standards relating to the indiscretions of males as opposed to females.
Hassoun in Syria also suggests also criminalizing the act even further, as well as imposing harsher punishments for offenders to deter them.
He proposes this because religious sanctions by all religions in the region have been ineffectual to date. Those inclined to commit these crimes do not rely or depend on formal religious justifications.
Yes, honour killings are a problem, especially in places where it is legalized.
But to suggest that faith, any faith, plays a significant role in encouraging it is misleading and erroneous, and fails to identify any legitimate solutions.
Those that mistakenly believe that it has justifications in their faiths are usually uninformed. Faith leaders can do more, both within their communities and globally, to clarify their beliefs.
But stakeholders involved have identified the solution in secular legislation supportive of the practice which should be modified to further criminalize and discourage the practice of honour killings.

Where to even start on this post.
For one, domestic violence in the US has nothing to do with honor killings. Honor killings are directly related to one's beliefs, while spouse killings in the "Christian" US are not crimes connected with belief AT ALL. Thus, any comparison is ridiculous.
Second, there is no proof for this statement "But the incidents are just as prevalent, often moreso, among Christian Arabs."
Third, there is no proof offered for this statement: "Per capita, these incidents are more problematic amongs Christian Arabs than they are among Muslim Arabs."
This post fails miserably. It is a very weak attempt to minimize a belief-based problem by pointing at other cultures and faiths.

Jack Ryan:
1) Honour killings are directly related to domestic (family) beliefs in certain parts of the world. They are not related to religious beliefs of any particular religion. Yes, they are markedly different from domestic abuse in the U.S., but the cultural context is also markedly different.
2), 3) Jordan is often identified as the country with the highest per capita rate of incidents. When even a few of these come from the small religious minority communities, it is disproportionate to the majority faith.
(statistics are highly disputed in this issue, or we would be more than willing to provide a rudimentary calculation to demonstrate).The post attempts (and succeeds in our opinion) in demonstrating that the belief that this problem is based upon is more cultural and historical in nature than religious. If we don't know what belief a "belief-based problem" is premised upon, we're not likely to come to the correct conclusions or adequate solutions.
Basil: Thank you for the links. Khouri was quoted in the piece we selected, and her the accuracy of her quote does not appear to be in question by the film or site you presented. Although the case appears interesting, it does not have an overall effect on the content of the post.

Khoury's book has been thoroughly discredited. It is not even on the market any more.
I agree with you that dishonor killings are un-Islamic. They are believed to have their origins in misinterpretations of pre-Islamic Arab tribal codes. They have more to do with culture than with faith.
But your comments about their rates being higher among Christians are just inaccurate. Dishonor killings do sometimes happen within the Christian community, but most of ten when there is an interfaith relationship involved (Arab/Christian). That can be a trigger for a dishonor killing.
I've worked on this problem in Jordan for years. I would know.

Hi Ellen,
Thank you very much for weighing in.We anticipated that per capita assertions would lead to some confusion. Estimates cite 25 incidents per year in Jordan. If only 2 of these are among Christians, as they often are, this is disproportionately high relative to the 7% of the population that they comprise. The situation is similar among Palestinians, where they are currently about 5% of the population. Honour killings are estimated there to be about 15-18 per annum, meaning anything above a single incident is a higher per capita rate for Palestinian Christians. Druze would probably be an exception to this, with 6% of the population but 200-300 incidents per year.
In any case, any of these incidents are higher than the per capita rate for the entire Muslim world (est. 1.1-1.3 billion) given the significantly larger population globally, and the majority of the Muslim world such as sub-Saharan African and SE Asia where the practice is non-existant.
The trigger you cite is common for all groups in inter-faith relationships.
Another factor is urban/rural, and there is a higher prevalence among rural communities irrespective of faith (we will add "rural" above for clarification).
If you are willing to provide an alternative quote to Khouri's of basically the same substance (to maintain the flow of the article without too much editing), we would be more than willing to replace it and link to your book instead. We get several thousand hits on average per post, and would love to help share your experiences. Contact the admin for more details.

This is a great post!
I think in many ways this topic is a litmus test for the ignorant and uninformed.
The process of stereotyping requires broad generalizations that ignore the many nuances and subtleties in a group. The topic of honor killings is a perfect example of how people who know very little about the regions in question easily ascribe it to what little they do know, namely, the dominant faith.
Most critics would not even know what the Hammurabi Code was, for example, or that the practice was observed in the region for thousands of years, even among Christians and Jews, well before the theological transformation of the area. To them it's irrelevant, because it's more imperative to reinforce whatever preconceived notions they hold in the interest of maintaining their shallow paradigm of the world around them.

text: A family dispute Sunday morning in Arnold turned violent when an uncle shot his nephew, who in a bizarre twist fled the scene and led law enforcement officers on a chase through Calaveras County. The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office said Monday that Robert Allan Terry, 36, was arrested on suspicion of shooting and injuring his nephew, Jimmy Terry, 25, of Murphys — a wanted parolee — at the elder Terry's home on the 1800 block of Rawhide Road. Also arrested was Jimmy Terry's girlfriend, Crystal Anne Towle, 24, of Murphys, who, according to the Sheriff's Office, drove her boyfriend away from the scene and proceeded to evade Angels Camp police officers in hot pursuit. The couple was later found hiding at a residence on the 19400 block of Sugar Pine Drive in Douglas Flat, the Sheriff's Office said. Jimmy Terry was transported to a Modesto-area hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound to his abdomen. The incident began around 7 a.m. when Terry and his uncle became involved in a verbal dispute at the Rawhide Road residence, a news release from the Sheriff's Office stated. The release said the initial dispute between the suspect and victim began a week earlier when Jimmy Terry became upset over his uncle purportedly telling law enforcement about his alleged involvement with thefts in the Arnold and Murphys areas. Jimmy Terry allegedly charged his uncle after being told to leave the property. His uncle then shot him once in the abdomen with a shotgun, according to the news release. The Sheriff's Office stated Terry's uncle felt that he needed to protect himself from his nephew and had re-filled an empty shotgun shell with rock salt, which was used in the alleged shooting. According to the Sheriff's Office, Jimmy Terry then fled the scene with Towle because he was a parolee-at-large with an active felony warrant for his arrest from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. While sheriff's deputies and Angels Camp police were en route to the shooting, an officer saw Terry's black four-door Audi pass him in the opposite direction going west on Highway 4, the Sheriff's Office stated. The Angels Camp police officer turned around and pursued the vehicle, but lost sight of it near Highway 4 and Parrotts Ferry Road. Anonymous tips eventually led law enforcement officers to the residence on Sugar Pine Drive, where they found Towle hiding, the Sheriff's Office said. She was placed under arrest but refused to provide investigators with a statement. An Angels Camp police K-9 unit then helped sheriff's deputies locate Terry hiding in a crawl space beneath the residence, according to the news release. He received medical treatment at the scene, but also refused to talk to law enforcement and was taken to the hospital. Robert Allan Terry was booked into Calaveras County Jail on suspicion of assault with a firearm. He was being held in custody on $50,000 bail as of Monday afternoon, according to jail officials. Towle was booked on suspicion of evading peace officers with disregard for public safety, but was released due to overcrowding at the jail, according to booking logs. Both Towle and Robert Terry were scheduled to be arraigned in Calaveras County Superior Court today, jail officials said. Jimmy Terry's condition was not immediately available Monday. Sheriff's Sgt. Chris Hewitt said he was not sure whether any criminal charges related to the incident would be filed against Jimmy Terry. According to Hewitt, it's up to the state to determine whether to arrest Terry on the warrant when he's released from the hospital. |

Roster moves must be approved by IIHF
There appears to be a resolution to the Olympic hockey roster dispute.
The International Ice Hockey Federation sent out a memo Friday to all national member federations clarifying that, at this point, roster changes can only be made for "valid reasons," and not because of player performance, ESPN.com has learned.
"For further clarification and as in the past three Olympic Games tournaments, it is only possible to change the players on the provisional rosters in the event of injuries or exceptional and valid reasons," the memo stated. "An application is to be made to the IIHF informing of the change and the reasons. Should the reasons provided be deemed valid then the IIHF will accept the change."
The NHL and NHL Players' Association sent a letter to the IIHF on Dec. 29, underlining their expressed concern with Russia's stated intention to potentially change its Olympic hockey roster regardless of injury.
The NHL and the players' union reiterated in the letter to the IIHF that according to the agreement reached by all parties, Jan. 1 was the deadline for provisional rosters for the Olympics and any changes could only be made for bonafide injuries or other valid reasons.
Russian coach Slava Bykov raised eyebrows around the hockey community on Christmas Day when he suggested that his announced roster was a provisional list and he could change players based on performance right up to the eve of the Olympics.
"I wouldn't guarantee a place on the Olympic team to anyone," Bykov was quoted as saying. "If my players can't perform up to the standards playing for their respective clubs, then how can I rely on them in Vancouver?"

Simpson Continues To Be A Concern To Pardew
There were a lot of Toon fans hoping Danny Simpson would start the game at the Stadium Of Shite, as you know what you are going to get from him in a derby fixture.
But Alan Pardew still doesn't know the player's position, and he says work is already under way ahead of January's transfer window.
Pardew wants to strengthen his defensive options after the club failed to sign a defender in the summer.
Newcastle's back four has been decimated by injuries already this season.
And Danny Simpson's contractual situation is also a concern, with the right-back's deal running out in the summer.
Alan Pardew: "The market's very small for us.
"We want players better than what we've got, and it's difficult.
"Right back is an area where there's a bit of a question mark, as Danny has not signed a contract at this football club.
"We probably need another centre-back, I think that's pretty obvious. We were a bit unfortunate not to get one in the last window.
"I think Mike (Ashley) respects me in that I haven't done it through the Press.
"I've done it in the right manner, in my opinion, in the boardroom.
"I've made it very, very clear that if we're going to compete with the top clubs we need to pass the ball better, and we need to retain possession. If we're going to retain possession, we need better players.
"If we're going to get better players, not only have we got to produce our own, we're going to have to search high and low to get the best.
"We've got great confidence in (chief scout) Graham Carr and our scouting team – there are a lot of footsoldiers underneath him – that we're going to produce our own."

The agent of Laryea Kingston says the Ghana midfielder will be staying at Hearts beyond the January market.
Alexander Fedoseev told the Edinburgh Evening News: "For this season Larry is likely to stay, maybe next summer something will happen.
"Before the African Nations Cup, nobody is interested in African players because they will miss two months of crucial club games. That's a big obstacle to any transfer.
"Larry will leave in January to go to play in Ghana and I think all proposals from other clubs will come after that. Maybe around spring, if they are going to come. If not, Larry will stay because he is happy in the club. We want him to stay at least one season with Hearts because it's no good to play half a season and then go away. It's not good for the career or reputation."

Congress passes spending bill amid doubts. How much does it actually cut?
The spending deal that averted a government shutdown passed the House and Senate Thursday. But a recent report suggests it cuts only $352 million this year, not $39 billion.
Evan Vucci/AP
Washington and Boston
The House and Senate Thursday passed the spending bill for fiscal year 2011, averting a government shutdown and putting its seal on the deal agreed to by President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner, and Senate majority leader Harry Reid last Friday.
But no one was running victory laps.
Getting to a bipartisan deal to cut $38.5 billion in spending took more than six months and, at the end, weeks of intense staff negotiation. By Thursday afternoon, however, many House Republicans were wondering if it had all been for nothing.
A report released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office suggested that the deal cuts a measly $352 million from spending in the current fiscal year, not $38.5 billion. The main reason for the discrepancy, according to the CBO: Many of the cuts involve money that wasn't going to be spent this year anyway.
In the end, House Republicans needed votes from Democrats to pass the bill, which passed 260 to 167, with 59 GOP conservatives opposing the bill and 81 Democrats supporting it. The Senate bill passed 81 to 19, with 15 Republicans, three Democrats and one Independent voting in opposition.

This week's blog, from our General Election series, is a guest post from campaigner John Haywood.
I originally got involved with Age UK when I was advised to visit the Age UK shop in Romford- they've got a little office at the back where I was given a benefits check. It was such a relief- I'd been struggling to pay my bills, and they told me I was actually entitled to a whole load of benefits, like exemption from council tax and Pension Credit. It's made a vast difference to me. Now, I'm telling people my story, and campaigning to make sure other older people get what they're entitled to.
As an Age UK campaigner, I've been involved in the General election campaign. I sat on the Age UK sofa opposite Big Ben and explained how I thought we could make Britain a great place to grow older. For me, the essential thing I want to see from the next parliament, is a commitment to making sure older people have enough money to be comfortable. And that they know about what is available to help them if they don't.
I speak to so many people who just don't know what help they could be getting. Day to day, I give people as much information as possible. I tell them about Age UK and the help they can get- for instance, a friend of mine who is 80, and cares for his 92-year old sister. But this isn't enough. The government needs to commit to ensuring older people have enough information, and know where to go to get it. I was terrified at the thought of how I'd get by when I retired. I only found out about benefits checks by chance- someone mentioned it to me on the bus, just like I now mention it to people I meet on the bus! It shouldn't be down to chance, because it is so essential. Continue reading

The LA Galaxy will be heading to Europe this preseason when they take on the Republic of Ireland's Shamrock Rovers F.C. at Tallaght Stadium on Feb. 21 at 8 a.m. PT
LA's match against Rovers will see 2014 MLS MVP Robbie Keane return to his home town of Dublin -- and most specifically Tallaght -- to play Shamrock Rovers, which is the most successful professional club in Irish history. Rovers have won the League of Ireland 17 times while also winning the FAI Cup a record 24 times.
Retired LA Galaxy forward Landon Donovan received a lifetime achievement award from Univision during their Premios Unvision Deportes which aired on Thursday night.
A visibly emotional Donovan was presented the award by MLS commissioner Don Garber while presenters Ivan Kasanzew and Enrique "Perro" Bermudez showed Donovan a video of fans from across the country thanking him for his soccer exploits. The MLS and U.S. Soccer scoring leader then went on to give a speech in which he thanked several including the kids that he grew up playing soccer with who helped inspire him to learn Spanish.
Although the video is entirely in Spanish, it's worth a watch given how emotional Donovan became at receiving such a distinct honor.
Check it out above.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will go from the final MLS game of 2014 to the very first of the 2015 season.
Major League Soccer announced on Friday morning that the Galaxy will host the Chicago Fire on Friday, March 6 at StubHub Center in a match that will air on Unimas at 7:00 p.m. PT. LA have hosted Chicago once before to start the season back in March 2013 when the Galaxy were also returning MLS Cup champions.
The Galaxy are 9-8-2 in all opening matches.
Excited for the Fire to come to down? Ready to see former Galaxy players Mike Magee, Michael Stephens and Greg Cochrane?
Share your thoughts below.
The LA Galaxy passed up the chance to select any players in stage two of the MLS Re-Entry Draft, but the club did lose some of their talent as forward Chandler Hoffman was selected by the Houston Dynamo.
Hoffman, 24, made eight appearances for the Galaxy first team in 2014, but was unable to tally his first MLS goal. Where the forward found the most success was with USL PRO affiliate LA Galaxy II as he scored 13 goals in 17 games played for Los Dos, which was the third highest tally in the U.S. third division in 2014.
In addition to Hoffman, former Galaxy players Tristan Bowen (New England Revolution) and Nathan Sturgis (Houston Dynamo).
CARSON, Calif. – Brian Rowe began his tenure on the LA Galaxy as a third goalkeeper but in his second full season with the club, he's solidified a place as the club's number two net minder.
Rowe saw limited action for the Galaxy in 2014, only making three appearances and compiling a 1-0-2 record while top choice Jaime Penedo was away at the 2014 Copa CentroAmericana, but when he did step in goal, he performed ably. In his three appearances, Rowe maintained one shutout—the very first of his Galaxy career—and showed himself able to make clutch saves when needed as he moved ahead of former No. 2 Brian Perk who dealt with concussion injuries for much of the year.
Heading into next season, Rowe will likely have every opportunity to further solidify his position and possibly create competition with Penedo as the Panamanian netminder takes part in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. A solid performance in these games will only aid the emerging goalkeeper in his quest to lock down a top job with the club.
In addition to these games with the first team, Rowe is also expected to be a candidate to suit up for Galaxy II on a regular basis as Los Dos are currently without any 'keepers on their roster at the moment. These games will only serve to provide confidence for the talented young goalkeeper who has impressed in his brief time with the club.
How would you rate Rowe's performance in 2014? Read my review of the goalkeepers on LAGalaxy.com and provide him with your own personal rating below.
CARSON, Calif. – The last two years have been frustrating for Brian Perk and now the longtime LA goalkeeper finds himself possibly searching for greener pastures after his option was declined earlier this month.
Much like the 2013 season, Perk was plagued with recurring concussion issues that rendered him unable to suit up for the Galaxy or their USL PRO affiliate Galaxy II for wide stretches. The 25-year-old 'keeper saw only brief action for the first team as he appeared in two matches at the beginning of the year while primary starter Jaime Penedo ironed out visa issues after LA's demise from the CONCACAF Champions League.
In his three appearances, Perk showcased the quality shot-stopping ability that has been a hallmark of his as he made held a 1-0-1 record that included a shutout of Chivas USA in March. However, concussions rendered Perk unable to build on this performance as he was inactive for much of the season, allowing Brian Rowe to seal the No. 2 spot behind Penedo. When Perk did return, he became a staple for Galaxy II appearing in five matches for the club including each of their two USL PRO playoff games.
After having his option declined, where Perk's career goes from here remains in question. The goalkeeper is up for stage two of the MLS Re-Entry Draft on Thursday and if he is not selected, he could be eligible to sign with any club that he wishes. Although injuries forced him into limited action this season, Perk's stellar shot stopping ability—which has drawn comparisons to RSL starter Nick Rimando— should make him a contender to lock down a job with the Galaxy or elsewhere.
How would you rate Perk's performance in 2014? Read my review of the goalkeepers on LAGalaxy.com and provide him with your own personal rating below.
After enduring a year of heartbreak and failure for both club and country, Jaime Penedo finally got over the hump and ended the 2014 campaign with a championship.
Brought in as a savior for the LA Galaxy's goalkeeping situation midway through the 2013 campaign, Penedo suffered a pair of setbacks in successive fashion as Panama failed to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and a month later LA were bounced from the postseason in the opening round.
Such disappointments stuck in the craw of the happy-go-lucky Panamanian goalkeeper heading into the 2014 season and he responded with aplomb.
During the regular season, Penedo enjoyed a 1.14 goals against average—.01 behind Goalkeeper of the Year Bill Hamid—while also making eight shutouts as he carried LA to the league's second best record. In the playoffs, he shook off any claims that he could not come up in big games with stellar performances in LA's series against Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders FC, the former which included a six save showing in the first leg.
In the MLS Cup final against New England, Penedo put forth yet another strong showing with six saves against the Revs to seal his first professional title since winning a title in Guatemala with Municipal. After years of frustration with Panama and his club teams, to win a title after such a trying season proved to be a "dream come true" for Penedo.
"It is a great blessing and a joy," Penedo told reporters after winning the title. "I dedicate this to dear God, my faith, my family, and my country."
How would you rate Penedo's 2014? Read my review of the Galaxy goalkeepers for LAGalaxy.com and vote below.
The Virginia Cavaliers defeated the UCLA Bruins 4-2 in penalty shootout at WakeMed Soccer Park after a scoreless tie in the 2014 College Cup Final.
The Cavaliers opted for a defensive posture that negated the Bruins' high-power attack for 120 minutes until the match went to penalty kicks. Riggs Lennon scored the title-winning penalty kick for Virginia, which made four of five penalty kicks while the Bruins saw two of their attempts ping off the cross bar.
The title is the Cavaliers' seventh and their second in five years.
The UCLA Bruins and their heavy LA Galaxy Academy contingent will play in the NCAA College Cup final on Sunday against Virginia (9 a.m. PT on ESPNU) at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.
UCLA reached the championship game after dispatching the Providence Friars with a 3-2 victory in double overtime thanks to a golden goal from defender Chase Gasper. The Bruins' Larry Nadjock and Providence striker Mac Steeves traded goals during regulation.
Galaxy Academy graduate Brian IIoski led the LA contingent with 80 minutes played in the victory while Christian Chavez (47 minutes played), Grady Howe (76 minutes played), and Willie Raygoza (14 minutes played) each made appearances.
They'll face Virginia, who rose to soccer prominence under the leadership of Bruce Arena, who led the Cavaliers to five titles in 18 years as the team's head coach. The Cavaliers reached the final by defeating the University of Maryland-Baltimore County 1-0 earlier on Friday.
The LA Galaxy passed on making any selections in stage one of the 2014 MLS Re-Entry Draft.
Only three players were selected in the first process as former Sporting KC goalkeepers Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum were selected by Montreal Impact and San Jose Earthquakes respectively while former Real Salt Lake forward Robbie Findley was taken by Toronto FC.
Teams will now have a chance to regonotiate with their players made available for the Re-Entry Draft process before stage two on Dec. 18
