US guns arm Mexico's drug wars
The Calderón government is asking for – and getting – more US support in cracking down on gun smuggling.
Mexico City
Marcelo Garza y Garza, the top state police investigator in Nuevo Leon, walked out of a church in an upscale neighborhood in Monterrey to take a cellphone call last September, when two bullets struck the back of his head.
The shots came from a semiautomatic pistol that did precisely what its colloquial name – matapolicia, or "police killer" – suggests. Mr. Garza y Garza died immediately.
"Police killers," so named because they were created to penetrate bulletproof vests, are among the newest weapons streaming into Mexico from the United States. Some 200 seized in Mexico last year – including the one used in the Garza murder – had been purchased in the US, and many more are in circulation, say authorities.
These guns, though, are a fraction of the high-powered weaponry purchased legally or illegally in stores and at gun shows in Texas, Arizona, and California and smuggled by the thousands into Mexico. Moreover, the demand for combat-style guns is on the rise, as drug traffickers arm themselves to the teeth to compete for control of trade routes into the US and, more recently, to resist a massive military crackdown that began when President Felipe Calderón took office in December.
In some ways this is an old border story.
Drugs have always gone north. Guns go south. But as Mexico's drug wars spiral so violently out of control that beheadings are tallied in local papers, the Calderón administration is demanding that the US do more to stanch the gun smuggling and to amend gun laws that, it says, are interfering with Mexico's fight to disarm organized crime.
"There is a contradiction," says a Mexican senior official speaking on condition of anonymity. "The US says they are so worried about drug trafficking, but the US is the one arming the drug traffickers."
Amid violence that has even spilled onto American soil, the US government is answering the call. US-Mexico cooperation on the matter, say many involved in the effort, has reached an unprecedented level, including gun tracing, personnel training, information-sharing, extraditions, and the establishment of joint task forces.

Cramer: They Were Wrong About Whole Foods
Editor's Note: This article was originally published at 7:19 a.m. ET on Real Money on May 22. To see Jim Cramer's latest commentary as it's published, sign up for a free trial of Real Money.
NEW YORK ( Real Money) --Younger people hate the food chain. It's like Ronald Reagan with Russian missiles. He was willing to trust them, but he wanted to verify. The millennials, who will be about 30% of this country in a half-dozen years, want their food vetted and verified.
That's exactly what Whole Foods (WFM - Get Report) does. What it stands for. The millennials believe Whole Foods wouldn't sell something unless it were as good as it can be for them. I say "good as it can be" because, even if it is made or sold at Whole Foods, it can still be fattening. It can still be "bad for you," so to speak. But you need Whole Foods to protect you from a world of mass production the way you needed Upton Sinclair's The Jungle as a way to expose the wretched unsanitary conditions of the meatpacking industry at the turn of the century.
Now Whole Foods just reported a terrific quarter that saw the stock shoot up 10 points before proceeding to advance three more points. This is another stock that didn't fill in the gap once it took off because we are in a much more powerful market than most understand or think about. The stock had spent a lot of time in the low-$80s wilderness as growth-stock portfolio managers had become convinced that the ardor for "expensive" public stores that sell organic food had dimmed. In their place, went the thinking, had come initiatives from Target (TGT), Wal-Mart (WMT) and Kroger (KRO) on the mass-merchant side, and Trader Joe's from the cult organic side.
I never thought Whole Foods lost a step, and I stuck by that. But, more important, the company heard what was wrong, adjusted, cut expenses, cut shrinkage, improved the supply chain and introduced some lower-priced merchandise that brought the numbers right back up and then some. Plus, with the lack of cannibalization in what was thought to be the saturated area around Boston, the company hinted that that its total target goal for 1,000 U.S. stores could be low. It has about 350 locations currently. The company achieved same-store sales success of the 21 stores in college-filled Massachusetts, almost double the locations it has in New York State -- and that's not to mention the instant hit that is the store in South Bend, Ind., home of Notre Dame. I think that, in light of this, you could argue that every college needs a Whole Foods nearby because of the millennials' desire for healthier eating.Select the service that is right for you!

Terence "Terry" Nelhams-Wright, known as Adam Faith (23 June 1940 – 8 March 2003), was a British teen idol, singer, actor, and financial journalist. He was one of the most charted acts of the 1960s.[1] He became the first UK artist to lodge his initial seven hits in the Top 5.[1] He was also one of the first UK acts to record original songs regularly.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Terence Nelhams-Wright was born at 4 Churchfield Road, Acton, London, England. He was unaware his surname was Nelhams-Wright until he applied for a passport and obtained his birth certificate. He was known as Terry Nelhams. The third in a family of five children, Nelhams grew up in a council house in a working class area of London, where he attended John Perryn Junior School. He started work at 12, delivering and selling newspapers while still at school. His first full-time job was odd-job boy for a silk screen printer.
Music career[edit]
Faith became one of Britain's significant early pop stars. At the time, he was distinctive for his hiccupping glottal stops and exaggerated pronunciation. He did not write his own material, and much of his early success was through partnership with songwriter Les Vandyke and John Barry, whose arrangements were inspired by the pizzicato arrangements for Buddy Holly's "It Doesn't Matter Anymore".
Faith began his musical career in 1957, while working as a film cutter in London in the hope of becoming an actor, singing with and managing a skiffle group, The Worried Men. The group played in Soho coffee bars after work, and became the resident band at The 2i's Coffee Bar, where they appeared on the BBC Television live music programme Six-Five Special. The producer, Jack Good, was impressed by the singer and arranged a solo recording contract with HMV under the name Adam Faith.
His debut record "(Got a) Heartsick Feeling" and "Brother Heartache and Sister Tears", in January 1958, failed to make the charts. Good gave him a part in the stage show of Six-Five Special, along with the John Barry Seven but the show folded after four performances. His second release later that year was a cover of Jerry Lee Lewis's "High School Confidential", backed with the Burt Bacharach and Hal David penned "Country Music Holiday", but this also failed.
Faith returned to work as a film cutter at National Studios at Elstree until March 1959, when Barry invited him to audition for a BBC TV rock and roll show, Drumbeat. The producer, Stewart Morris, gave him a contract for three shows, extended to the full 22-week run. His contract with HMV had ended, and he sang one track, "I Vibrate", on a six-track EP released by the Fontana record label. Barry's manager, Eve Taylor, got him a contract with Top Rank, but his only record there, "Ah, Poor Little Baby"/"Runk Bunk" produced by Tony Hatch, failed to chart due to a lack of publicity caused by a national printing strike.
Despite the failure, Faith was becoming popular through television appearances. He became an actor by taking drama and elocution lessons, and appeared in the film Beat Girl. The script called for Faith to sing songs and as Barry was arranging Faith's recordings and live Drumbeat material, the film company asked him to write the score. This was the beginning of Barry's career in film music.
Faith's success on Drumbeat enabled another recording contract, with Parlophone. His next record in 1959, "What Do You Want?", written by Les Vandyke and produced by Barry and John Burgess, received good reviews in the NME and other papers, as well as being voted a hit on Juke Box Jury. This became his first number one hit in the UK Singles Chart,[1] and his pronunciation of the word 'baby' as 'bay-beh' became a catchphrase.[2]
"What Do You Want?" was the first number one hit for Parlophone, Faith the only pop act on the label.[2]
With songs like "Poor Me" (another chart topper), "Someone Else's Baby" (a UK No. 2) and "Don't That Beat All", he established himself as a rival to Cliff Richard in British popular music.
A UK variety tour was followed by a 12-week season at Blackpool Hippodrome and an appearance on the Royal Variety Show.
His next release was a double A-side single, "Made You"/"When Johnny Comes Marching Home". Both made the Top Ten, despite a BBC ban for "Made You" for 'a lewd and salacious lyric'. His 1960 novelty record "Lonely Pup (In a Christmas Shop"), to coincide with his Christmas pantomime, gained a silver disc.
His début album Adam was released on 4 November 1960 to critical acclaim for the inventiveness of Barry's arrangements and Faith's own performances. The material ranged from standards such as "Summertime", "Hit The Road to Dreamland" and "Singin' in the Rain" to more contemporary songs, such as Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman's "I'm a Man", Johnny Worth's "Fare Thee Well My Pretty Maid", and Howard Guyton's "Wonderful Time".
Still 20 and living with his parents, he bought a house in Hampton Court for £6,000, where he moved with his family from their house in Acton. In December 1960, he became the first pop artist to appear on the TV interview series Face to Face with John Freeman.
Faith made six further albums and 35 singles, with a total of 24 chart entries, of which 11 made the UK Top Ten, including his two No. 1's. Ten of the eleven singles that made the Top Ten actually also made the Top Five. Faith managed to lodge twenty consecutive single releases on the UK Singles Chart, starting with "What Do You Want?" in November 1959 and culminating with "I Love Being in Love With You" in mid-1964; this was quite a feat for a British artist of Faith's era.
Faith's last Top Ten hit in the UK (in October 1963) was "The First Time" (UK No. 5), which was also his first single with his backing group in 1963 and 1964, The Roulettes, acquired to give Faith's music a harder 'beat group' edge more in keeping with the Merseybeat sound at that time sweeping the British charts. His 1974 single "I Survive" made the Top 30 of the "Capital Countdown" on London's Capital Radio.
Benefitting from the enthusiasm of American audiences for all artists British at the height of the British Invasion in 1964-5, Faith managed to register one single in the Top 40 of the US Billboard Hot 100, "It's Alright" (which was not released as a single in his native UK).
In 1967, he recorded "Cowman, Milk Your Cow" which was written by Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb and released as a single in September that same year.
Film and television career[edit]
In 1961, Faith made What a Whopper, with Sid James, Spike Milligan, Wilfrid Brambell, Carole Lesley and others well known at the time. A film about a writer, a group of Englishmen and the Loch Ness "monster", it was written by Terry Nation, and had music by John Barry; Faith sang the title song and "The Time Has Come". Faith's teen pop became less popular in the mid-1960s in competition with The Beatles. After a final single in 1968 he parted company with EMI and concentrated on acting. While a musician he had appeared in films such as Beat Girl (1960), Never Let Go (1960), and television dramas such as the Rediffusion/ITV series No Hiding Place but now he concentrated on repertory theatre. After a number of small parts, he was given a more substantial role in the play Night Must Fall, playing opposite Dame Sybil Thorndike. In 1962 he co-starred opposite Donald Sinden and Anne Baxter in the film Mix Me a Person, a thriller which was rated X-certificate (the modern equivalent would be a UK 18-certificate) by the British Board of Film Censors. In autumn 1969, he took the lead in a touring production of Billy Liar.
In the 1970s, he went into music management, managing Leo Sayer among others. Sayer claimed in an interview with British newspaper The Daily Telegraph that "He handled everything for me, but although he was a very good mentor, he was less trustworthy with my money. In the end, Adam Faith made more out of Leo Sayer than I did."
He starred as the eponymous hero in the 1970s television series Budgie (LWT/ITV), about an ex-convict, but his career declined after a motor car accident in which he almost lost a leg. He restarted with a role as the manipulative manager of rock star David Essex, in Stardust. He was nominated for a BAFTA award. In 1980 he starred with Roger Daltrey in McVicar and appeared with Jodie Foster in Foxes.
He played the role of James Crane in the 1985 TV movie Minder on the Orient Express – part of the Minder franchise.
From 1992 to 1994, he appeared in another TV series, Love Hurts, starring with Zoë Wanamaker, and in 2002 he appeared in the BBC series The House That Jack Built. In 2003, he appeared in an episode of Murder in Mind.
Later years and death[edit]
Faith married Jackie Irving in 1967 and they had one daughter, Katya Faith, who became a television producer.
By the 1980s, Faith had become an investor and financial adviser.[3] In 1986, he was hired as a financial journalist by the Daily Mail and its sister paper The Mail on Sunday. Faith and partner Paul Killik were the principal investors behind UK television station Money Channel. When the channel closed in June 2002, Faith was declared bankrupt, owing a reported £32 million. English film director and producer Michael Winner stated that Faith was his investment adviser, leading to significant losses on two different investments.[4]
In 1986, Faith had open heart surgery. In 2003, he became ill after his evening stage performance in the touring production of Love And Marriage at Stoke-on-Trent, and died of a heart attack early the next morning, 8 March 2003, at North Staffordshire Hospital. His last words reportedly were "Channel 5 is all shit, isn't it? Christ, the crap they put on there. It's a waste of space."[5]

Current Time
see + do
Big Island see + do
There's so much more to do on the Big Island than kick back at your luxury resort. Everyone makes the requisite pilgrimage to Kilauea Crater, one of the most active volcanoes on earth. But with 11 of the world's 13 recognized climatic zones, the Big Island contains an astounding diversity of natural wonders. If you like driving, you could circumnavigate the island in one long, exhausting, and highly scenic day, but we recommending tackling it in sections over at least three days. There are black (and even green!) sandy beaches, great snorkeling, and some of the best diving in the state. Surfers used to the waves on Maui, Kauai, or Oahu might feel shortchanged, but hikers will be thrilled with the Edenic interior. A new trend on the island is agro-tourism, tours of private farms that give an insight into a growing aspect of the island's economy (www.hawaiiorganicfarmers.org).
Nightlife is next to nonexistent on the Big Island (unless you count bowling alleys and dive-y karaoke bars), so it's best to trade in the boozing for a night dive or a luau. But your absolute best bet for a moonlight activity is to find out where the lava from Kilauea is flowing into the ocean, and head there at sunset: In the darkness of night, you can see red-hot lava meet the cool-blue depths of the Pacific, one of the most amazing sights on the planet.

The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 has three problematic features. First, it created the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act ("SORNA") which expanded the National Sex Offender Registry and established sanctions up to a maximum of 20 years for sex offenders who do not comply with the law's registration requirements (here and here). Second, it placed severe restrictions on the constitutional right to bail and prohibitions against disparate sentencing (here). Finally, it allows for the civil commitment of federal sex offenders upon completion of their criminal sentence if it shown that they are "sexually dangerous" and pose a threat to the free community (here).
Read moreFormer President George W. Bush in July 2006 signed into law the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act ("Walsh Act"). A disturbing byproduct of the Walsh Act is the authorization given to the federal government to indefinitely detain any sex offender after completion of his prison sentence, if a Department of Justice attorney certifies and establishes by clear and convincing evidence that he is a "sexually dangerous person" who poses a threat to the safety of the free community. If the offender is certified for what is called "civil commitment," chances are he will be sent to the Commitment and Treatment Program at the Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina.
Read moreRule 403: Courts Should View Child Porn if Defense Moves to Exclude as Unfairly Prejudicial…
By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair
Jurors in criminal trial are sometimes called upon to view difficult, disturbing pieces of evidence. This is particularly so in cases of violence and sex offenses, especially child pornography cases. In fact, it is probably easier for jurors to view photographs and/or videos depicting images of the aftermath of a violent offense than it is to view photographs and/or videos of child pornography. Many times, when the question of whether the images are in fact child pornography is not in issue, the Government and criminal defense attorney will stipulate to the jury that evidence is in fact child pornography. In those cases where neither party wants to proceed on the basis of a stipulation, the Government must allow the defense to inspect the evidence it plans to offer into evidence so the defense lawyer can prepare a proper defense. This process provides defense counsel with graphic details of the child pornography the Government will rely upon to make its case. These details often inform defense counsel of the level of prejudice the images/videos of children being sexually exposed and/or assaulted will have on the jury.

But we have become increasingly concerned about a proliferation child protection laws, particularly at the Federal level. Some of which were obviously politically motivated "feel good" legislation intended to broadcast to the voters that congress was getting something done.
Read moreConfusing Logic from SCOTUS and Conflict Among Appellate Courts Leave Trial Courts Guessing The Meaning Of Confrontation
By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair
The Sixth Amendment is one of the most important amendments of the United States Constitution. It ensures that an "accused shall enjoy the right … to be confronted with witnesses against him." In 1988 the U.S. Supreme Court, in Coy v. Iowa, observed that "it is always more difficult to tell a lie about a person 'to his face' than 'behind his back.'" Just two years later, in Maryland v. Craig, the Court made this follow up observation: "[F]ace-to-face confrontation enhances the accuracy of fact-finding by reducing the risk that a witness will wrongfully implicate an innocent person." That observation is critically important because, as pointed out by the New York-based The Innocent Project, roughly 75 percent of the nation's 282 DNA exonerations involved eyewitness misidentification.
Read moreTexas law Allows Removal/Avoidance of Sex Registration for Youthful, Non-Violent Consent Based Sex
By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair
Former President George W. Bush in July 2006 signed into law the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. Title I of this act is called the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act ("SORNA") which expanded the National Sex Offender Registry, including sanctions up to a maximum of twenty years for sex offenders who do not comply with the law's registration requirements. This includes juveniles convicted, or adjudicated as delinquent in juvenile court, who are 14 years of age or older and who have been convicted of an offense either more serious or similar to federal aggravated sexual assault. It is this juvenile registration issue that has caused many states, including Texas, to have serious reservations about complying with SORNA.
Read moreTRE 412 Permits Use of Past Sexual Behavior in Limited Circumstances
By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair
Every state in these United States have what is known as "rape shield statutes"—laws that limit a criminal defendant's ability to cross examine sexual assault victims about their past sexual behavior. Texas' rape shield statute lies in Rule 412 of the Texas Rules of Evidence and explicitly applies only in sexual assault cases. The, however, Rule is qualified to permit the use of "past sexual behavior" in certain situations: when it is necessary to rebut or explain scientific or medical evidence offered by the State, Subsection(b)(2)(A): when it is offered by the defendant upon the issue of whether the victim consented to the sexual behavior which is the basis for the charged offense, Subsection (b)(2)(B); and when it is relevant to show "motive or bias" on the part of the victim, Subsection (b)(2)(C).

By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair
In a June 4, 2011 article titled "Justice Delayed in Rape Cases," Houston Chronicle staff writer Anita Hassan reported that five years ago the Houston Police Department crime lab had more than 4,000 "rape kits" sitting untested in its "property room freezer." Some of these cases date back to the 1990s, according to Hassan, and more of them are still sitting idle in neglect waiting to be tested. The crime lab has only tested "200 cases" over the last five years, citing "a lack of manpower" in getting the job done.
Read moreDefense Lawyers Sound Objection to Lesser Included Offense Causes Appellate Mental Madness
By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Billy Sinclair
The law is rarely ever clearly defined. It is continuously subject to interpretation.

Schocking Allegations Of Sexual Assault In Cleveland, Texas
By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair
Allegations of mass rape have literally ripped apart the social fabric of Cleveland, Texas, a Liberty County community of 7000-plus people just 45 miles north of Houston. The town has never been known as a bastion of racial harmony, but the sexual assault of an 11-year-old Hispanic girl there last Thanksgiving by as many as two dozen suspects—most of whom African-American—has splintered the town's racial coexistence, which according to some was already as tattered as the neglected American flag flying above so many double-wide trailers in small Texas towns like Cleveland.

"Game flows fast, setup a bit clumsy, solid game though"
Version: Strategic Baseball Simulator 4.8.1
The game plays relatively quick and has some nice features, such as % chance runner can advance. Has all of the basic needs of a computer game. Play results are a bit short, however it gets the point across. Decent play choices for offense & defense
Pretty simplistic as far as play results go. Unable to tell if game has a righty/lefty factor built in to it. Crossing eras doesn't seem to affect plays, errors seem to come in bunches. One game, home team had 7 errors, visitors 9 errors.
The person that put this program for all of us to play is a very generous man indeed. I have paid for computer games that were not nearly as nice as this one appears. It doesn't have much glitter to it, it is simply put a statistic based baseball game that people , lke myself that play Simulations really like. Again, this game is fun to play, easy to play and would be enjoyed by anyone that likes baseball. Thanks
"Best bargain in software1"
Version: Strategic Baseball Simulator 4.8.1
The game plays very true to the real-life performances of the players.
Teams are available from the late 1800s to the present.
The game and past seasons are all free!
I found the game very easy to install and play.
I can't think of anything that I don't like about the game.
"Very good but I have some reservations about accuaracy of the differnt era play"
Version: Strategic Baseball Simulator 4.8.1
"Not as I expected"
Version: Strategic Baseball Simulator 4.8.1
Great images
Very complicated! Hard to get places
Version: Strategic Baseball Simulator 4.8.1
"Great sim!!"
Version: Strategic Baseball Simulator 4.8.1
SBS is one of the best baseball sims out there! Being able to play historical teams against each other is a good way to settle a bet about which team was better in the past. The new additions to this version only make the game even better. And you cannot beat the price - FREE!!
The only bad thing about this game is it's addicting as hell.

Vice-President calls for reforms to nurture teachers' skills and competence
New Delhi: Concerned over teachers in the country being professionally "disempowered," Vice-President Hamid Ansari today pitched for reforms in the education system to nurture their skills and competence.
Mr. Ansari, who gave away the National Awards to teachers here, described the recently passed Right to Education Bill "as more empowering, in terms of its impact, than the Right to Vote."
The Bill will contain a framework of national curriculum, develop and enforce standards for teacher training and provide technical support and resources to the States for promoting innovation, research, planning and capacity.
"We have a situation today in which teachers are politically empowered and professionally disempowered. This is a disservice to the cause of education. The need of the hour is to painstakingly rebuild the professional identity of our teachers, nurture their skills and professional competence through continuing education," he said.
Mr. Ansari questioned the current system of teacher recruitment, teaching methods, performance assessment, incentive and reward structure and manner of accountability.
"Far too often the focus, regrettably, is on completing the syllabus rather than on cultivating critical thinking skills and competencies. This needs to be corrected," he said at the function where over 300 teachers from across the country were conferred the award on the occasion of Teachers' Day.
In a departure from a 51-year-old tradition, the awards were not given away by the President but by the Vice-President. President Pratibha Patil is on a two-nation tour of Russia and Tajikistan.
Mr. Ansari said access and quality are central to education planning. The country needs to assess whether marginalised sections, including the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, minorities, particularly Muslims in general and Muslim girls in particular and rural people, have access to quality education.
He stressed on making teaching more innovative and conditioned to the specific requirements of the pupils.
Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said it was imperative on part of teachers to develop a life-long learning system. Teachers need to upgrade their skills andknowledge.
The awards, instituted in 1958, are given away every year on September 5 , to commemorate the birthday of the former President and eminent scholar Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan.
The teachers were awarded a certificate of merit, a cash award of Rs. 25,000 and a silver medal. — PTI

Hi: 9° Lo:1°
A SERIES of dawn raids were carried out in Leamington on Monday (February 4) as part of the latest crackdown on organised crime in the county.
Eight arrests were made by officers on the first day of the inititative after warrants were secured to storm seven addresses in Warwickshire, including two homes in Warwick Gates and Leamington.
The early morning swoops were part of Warwickshire Police's Operation X, an organised crackdown targeting known criminals in high-risk areas over the next 15 months. The swoops in Leamington involved some 20 officers.
Dep Ch Con Neil Brunton, who is overseeing the Leamington operation, said a quarter of all crime and anti-social behaviour in the county was committed in Leamington, Rugby and Nuneaton.
He said: "If we put more resources into these locations, we can tackle the people who are causing the most harm.
"Operation X is about improving public confidence, reducing crime and focusing on the areas that are disproportionately affected by crime.
"It's also about making sure we are showing that there are consequences for those who are causing harm.
"This is not a one day operation. It's sustained, it's relentless and every day there will be 100 dedicated officers working towards Operation X."
The first raid on a house in Sir Toby Belcher Drive on Warwick Gates, saw officers arrest an 18 year-old and 39 year-old man on suspicion of possession and intent to supply cannabis with an estimated street value of £300.
Officers spent around two hours searching the premises where they found an imitation firearm and hydroponic growing equipment but no plants.
The pair were later led away to a police car as neighbours looked on, having been woken by the commotion.
Then at 11.30am the same police team smashed the front door of a Brunswick Street property where a 27 year-old man was arrested on suspicion of receiving and handling stolen goods, including a quantity of bank and identification cards.
Police volunteers then put up posters and pushed leaflets through neighbouring doors explaining the operation and its aims.
Speaking at Warwickshire Justice Centre in Leamington at lunch time, Dep Ch Con Brunton said: "I am delighted with the outcome from today's warrants and look forward to many more positive results over the course of Operation X."
Anyone with information which may help police working on Operation X should contact officers on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111. People can also tweet officers @warkspolice#OpX.

I know the answer to that one. To ensure that really big iron with many ethernet devices will not have ethx assigned in random order due to race conditions. It probably comes up more frequently when using systemd which launches processes during boot up in parallel. In other words, a solution for the 1% that need it forced on the 99% who don't. -- Bruce

Organize your Yarn
By: Linda Boatwright
Is your yarn tangled up? Well, do not throw away your old toilet tissue cardboard tube. Take one end of the yarn place it through the tube, place three fingers in the tube to hold the yarn in place and begin to wrap the yarn around the tube. When yarn is wrapped, pull the cardboard tube out and lo and behold you can pull the inside yarn through the tube with out in tangling the yarn. Try it. It really works.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:-Big heavy and solid compared to most of the knives sold here.
-Blade shape is a nice long spear point, shaving sharp out of the box.
-Blade is thick; 1.3x to 1.5x thickness of my other similarly length blades.
-Lock is ambidextrous.
-No blade wobble at all when opened
-Handle is aluminum with steel liner.
-Blade pivot is lined with plastic or teflon washers on both sides. Combined with the lock mechanism makes opening and closing the blade smooth and without hesitation.
-Due to locking mechanism blade sits centered when closed; compared to liner locked knives which the blade will slant opposite the side of the liner lock.
-Lock has the "just nice" feel, some locks have too much travel making closing the knife a hassle while too little travel makes lock feel unsafe.
-Handle design is an open back which means debris should fall out the back.
-pocket clip is NOT reversible, meaning you cannot mount it on the other side, it has 3 holes on the opposite side but they are just cosmetic and do not align to the pocket clip.
-Lock will allow the blade to close a bit under extreme pressure, it is unknown if its the inherent flaw of all such locking mechanism but for this particular knife the lock will disengage a bit. It does LOCK positively as I've tried knocking the back of the blade on a table hard and it stays lock, just that when you hold the handle and force the blade it will move as if disengaging the lock for a bit(a teeneeweenee bit) before stopping and once pressure is off the back of the blade it springs back to full open position.
-No jimping at the back of the blade.
-1 screw came not tightened, but most DX knives are such so its highly recommended that each screw is removed and applied locktite to them then screw them back tight.
-Lock spring is quite strong making unlocking a little harder than need be, and due to the lock design the same applies to opening the knife, so if you're looking at a fast deploying knife this is NOT it. Even sideways flicking the knife does not always fully deploy the knife.
-Locking mechanism makes full dis- assembly of this knife very difficult. Adding locktite to the screws or tightening the pivot screw is fine just not dis-assemble to it component parts.
-finish is good, not perfect but good enough; some small blemishes on the handle thats all.
-too big and heavy for everyday carry in my opinion.
-blade shape makes it a great folder for food preparation.
For the price this is no doubt a great knife, one of the best from DX.
Feels like a kick back kind of knife rather than than one made for action, not fast deploying but opens and closes tight, and reliably time after time.

Frankly NEM there are scumbags on both sides of the isle. I will not let moronic partisan posturing go unchallenged. BTW Teddy K is not past history he is still doing his best to screw this country, as is the Toon for that matter.
NEM thinks dirty politics has just been discovered. :rofl: I didn't know Arizona had caves with rocks to hide under. :rofl:
Thats right NEM...its all the Republicans fault. no matter what. The USA would be a socialist nation if only those darn Conservatives would all just dissappear. Sorry that Bush is preventing you from living like a European socialist.

When I am not designing and making crafts I like to relax and play games on the computer. There are a large assortment of various types of games. I like to play Hidden Object, Match 3, Mahjong and Solitaire in the Tri-Peaks form. Some of these games really get your brain working while figuring out where to go, what to do and challenging when playing a mini game within the game.
I recently played a series of hidden object games titled Dark Parables. There are 4 so far, each one of the games take a fairy tale story/characters and make another story out of it where you the player, become the detective who has to solve the mystery saving characters along the way. The hidden objects in all the scenes were not hard to find.
The first game is Dark parables:Curse of the Briar Rose. I will mention now that what peaked my interest in playing this series is the graphics. The scenes are very artistically done. The items to collect are decorative, colorful and creative. The stories also intrigued me. This story involves Sleeping Beauty awakening after the prince kissed her, he then turns into the Frog Prince. The witch put Sleeping Beauty back to sleep by a curse with briars growing everywhere in the kingdom. We ,as the detective, must hurry to end the curse put on Sleeping Beauty or else the briars will envelop the kingdom and all will perish.
This was a fun game and clever twist of the story to play. Most scenes were brightly colored, the cemetery was dark but not scary.
The second game is Dark Parables:The Exiled Prince. The story line in this game is the reimagined story of the Frog Prince. He is still alive in the Black Forest catching unsuspecting hikers. We, as the detective, get called in to investigate when the chancellor's daughter and bodyguard go missing. The scenes are beautifully done , the music is also nice to listen to (on low) as you explore the forest, cottages,gardens and palace. The story line really kept me in suspense and I was trying to figure out if the Frog Prince was friend or foe.
The third game in the series is Dark parables:Rise of the Snow Queen. This game we are investigating missing children in a mythical land called Snowfall Kingdom. We have to solve why the Snow Queen is capturing these children? This game had a clever twist as to the true identity of the Snow Queen.
I was having fun until I got captured and put in jail. The hidden object scene there had 2 snakes. Yikes! I don't like snakes so I was blindly clicking away hoping I would find all the pieces I needed. Once I did that I got out of there and hoped I didn't have to come back. To my disappointment I did later in the game. At the end of the story all is solved and it introduces us to the next fairy tale in a cutscene (all of these games do this) for the fourth game. Dark Parables:Red Riding Hood Sisters.
The Red Riding Hood Sisters is a very clever extension to the Red Riding Hood fairy tale. This sisterhood picks up after the Red Riding Hood tale. We are working alongside the sisters, after we free them from the clutches of the villain. We have to find the 7th Moonstone so the kingdom does not go into eternal darkness. There was a surprise to this story that is revealed towards the end. Once again, at the end of this game a new cutscene gives us a hint to the next character and fairy tale for the fifth game. It should be just as good as the last four games have been. Can't wait to see the beautiful artwork, interesting story, challenging mini games, but not too challenging, I don't want to be pulling my hair out in frustration. Cutscenes have an almost movie look.
If any of you like to play computer games, specifically hidden object adventure type I highly recommend the Dark Parables series. V played this series as well and will give her comments later.
