Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
10 Dec 2009 08:58 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, United States
Watch part two Watch part three Watch part fourThe US is bound by shared history to Africa - a history that has been a source of much pain and conflict.
Recently, however, there have been two significant developments which may define the relationship between the US and Africa for decades to come.
The first is a legacy of the Bush administration - a brand new military command for Africa - called Africom.
The second is the election of Barack Obama, a man with African roots, as US president.In a special two-part series Rageh Omaar travels to the US and through East and West Africa to investigate the American strategy for the continent.
Moving north, Rageh looks at US involvement with governments in the Sahel, a region rich in mineral resources. Africom troops are providing arms, military support and training in response to a perceived extremist threat.
But critics say, the threat is internal dissent and US policy risks creating, as in Somalia, the real issue.
The Delta region of West Africa provides Africom's biggest dilemma. Rich in oil resources, the region is vital to US future energy needs.
Africom offers military training to local governments here – including Cameroonian troops involved in the brutal suppression of their own people.
Can Obama make a decisive break with the path set in Africa by the Bush administration? Until rhetoric is seen to govern practice, Obama and Africom seem set to repeat past mistakes and become further involved in a messy, self-fulfilling prophecy.
America's New Frontline: A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy? can be seen on Sunday, December 13 at the following times GMT: Sunday: 1400; Monday: 0600 and 1900; Tuesday: 0300.
Watch part two Watch part three Watch part fourIn October 2008, the US formally launched Africom, a new military command for Africa.
Rageh investigates the genesis of Africom – the critical combination of the Bush administration's neo-con world view, the increasing panic about access to natural resources and the launch of the so-called war on terror.
One of the new programmes involves training forces in Rwanda, the army of a government that was previously accused of undermining democracy.
Africom provided logistical and intelligence support to the Ugandan army (UPDF) in 2008, in operations against rebel forces, thus embroiling itself indirectly in an African war.
The UPDF is strongly associated with Yoweri Museveni, the Ugandan president, who changed the country's constitution to extend his term of office indefinitely.
In July 2009, Obama promoted sustainable democracy, good governance and peaceful resolution of conflict fo the African continent.
Africom's complex relationships in Uganda, Rwanda and other African countries highlight the dilemma Obama faces. Can he extract the new command from the legacy of the Bush administration and turn US-African relations in a new direction?
America's New Frontline: Diplomats or Warriors? can be seen on Sunday, December 6 at the following times GMT: Sunday: 1400; Monday: 0600 and 1900; Tuesday: 0300.

As others see it: The clock is ticking
Minnesota legislators and Gov. Mark Dayton are about to hit crunch time in crafting the next two-year state budget.
As the DFL governor, DFL House and DFL Senate do so, it's worth revisiting what they did -- and didn't -- promise to do while also pointing out how some of their other ideas and actions could indirectly reach into the pockets of Minnesotans. ...

Latest Muon Stories
They were always mysterious.
A new Chinese experiment could help explain why matter predominates over antimatter in the universe.
Scientists of the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today (June 24) the results from a search for a rare phenomenon, the transformation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos.
An international research team led by Japan and that includes the University of Colorado Boulder may have taken a significant step in discovering why matter trumped antimatter at the time of Big Bang, helping to create virtually all of the galaxies and stars in the universe.
Researchers from Queen Mary, University of London (UK) and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) have shown that a magnetically polarised current can be manipulated by electric fields.
An international team measures the charge radius of the hydrogen nucleus and stumbles across some mysteries of physics.
Scientists have made their most accurate measurement yet of the "ghost particles" known as neutrinos.
Scientists of the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator laboratory today (June 14) announced the world's most precise measurement to date of the parameters that govern antineutrino oscillations, the back-and-forth transformations of antineutrinos from one type to another.
On Monday, scientists in Europe said they have solved the case of the missing neutrinos, one of the enduring mysteries in the subatomic universe of particle physics.
Researchers have unearthed a magnetic force similar to electricity: magnetic charges that act and interrelate like electrical charges.

Sponsor a Literacy Site Scholarship for a Girl in India
Roll over image to zoom in
Help a girl in rural Rajasthan, India attend school!
In India's northwestern state of Rajasthan, an underdeveloped, severe desert region on Pakistan's border, literacy rates are extremely low, especially among women.
Fifty bright, motivated girls at The Fabindia School in this harsh region need tuition help--the $25 per month tuition is simply an impossible expense for their families.
The Literacy Site is proud to initiate an exciting scholarship program to fund tuition for these 50 girls.
Sponsor a Literacy Site Scholar at The Fabindia School--just $25 keeps a young girl in school for an entire month!
Since its inception, the school has been committed to encouraging education for girls in a culture where most parents who can afford school would send only their sons. To accomplish this, the school has a policy of subsidizing their tuition. In addition, the school enrolls and subsidizes tuition for children from socially and economically marginalized communities who otherwise would not have access to a quality education.
The Fabindia School is a non-religious, non-profit, private school for boys and girls ages three through 17. With a library, science lab, computer center, sports fields, and a forested area, as well as a remarkable teacher-student ratio of 1:24, The Fabindia School offers an exceptional education to more than 700 students. It is a matter of pride that girls hold many leadership posts in the school.
Progress Report, November 2010
Donations to The Literacy Site Scholarship Fund so far have provided tuition for one full school year for 19 bright, motivated girls in rural Rajasthan, India to attend The Fabindia School. As our goal is to provide funding for 50 low-income girls to attend school, we greatly appreciate new and ongoing support to help us continue to subsidize these girls' tuition and, we hope, expand our reach in the coming school year.

Language & Literature
Beginning Fiction Workshop
Hit the children's story hour at the library or a bookstore. Afterward, talk about which books you liked and why.
Homework: Ask your child to read you a book for a change. Actual reading skills are not required: You'll be surprised how much he remembers and what he can figure out from just the pictures.
Foreign-Language Immersion
Next time you're at a Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Thai, or what-ever-type restaurant, talk about the items on the menu (pad thai or parmigiana cheese, for example) and explain how, in other countries, people speak different languages and eat different foods. Teach your child to say "thank you" in the corresponding language: "merci" in French, "gracias" in Spanish, and "domo arigato" in Japanese.
Homework: Check out the Putumayo Kids collection of CDs, including French Playground, African Playground, and Latin Playground, to expose your kid to more foreign languages through incredible music. ($14.98 each; putumayo.com)
Old English
Hear ye, hear ye: Head downtown, to the mall, or anywhere else that your little one might be able to spot each letter of the alphabet on signs. Bring a camera and snap a shot of each letter found. The prints--with some hole-punches and ribbon ties--can become the pages of a handmade instant favorite: My Very Own A to Z Letter Book.
Homework: Download printable alphabet pages from Atozkidsstuff.com/springalpha.html and assemble them into a coloring book.

Coping with price rise, a slew of scams, crisis in A.P., party top brass is barely living from day to day
The current political crisis has so paralysed the Congress leadership that it is finding it hard to institute the sort of sweeping changes it would like to see in both the party organisation and the government. Coping with soaring food prices, a slew of scams and a first class political crisis in Andhra Pradesh — not to mention the the electoral washout in Bihar — the party brass is barely living from day to day.
More than three weeks after the Congress' 83rd plenary ended, the apex decision making body, the Congress Working Committee is yet to be constituted, the list of All India Congress Committee delegates incomplete with Bihar and Tamil Nadu, among other States, yet to send in their names, and many of the State units without heads.
Amidst all this confusion, speculation has been raging on changes in the Cabinet, with top party sources suggesting that the exercise could take place some time between Makar Sankranti and Republic Day. And the changes in the government and the party would follow each other, as some leaders might be asked to exchange jobs.
But party sources are also saying that with the government at sixes and sevens and despite the desire to go in for a new-look administration, the maximum it might stretch to is to fill vacancies in the government: for instance, with the departure of Prithviraj Chavan for Mumbai, where he has become Chief Minister of Maharashtra, there is a key Minister of State slot to be filled in the Prime Minister's Office. Similarly, Kapil Sibal is carrying the burden of two full-time jobs, Human Resource Development and Telecom — so he could be divested of one of the portfolios.
Earlier, top government sources told The Hindu that the Prime Minister was keen on moving out those he considered inefficient but that he was finding it very hard to do anything, given the current crisis. What is making it harder is that he himself is in the firing line, with the Opposition targeting him for not acting against the former Telecom Minister, A. Raja, earlier.
With both the government and the party in crisis, a party functionary told The Hindu, Congress president Sonia Gandhi also wanted things to settle down before she made any change. Party sources added the one person, one post would generally be applied, but not very strictly — so while a minister may not double up as general secretary, he could be made in-charge of a State. In this context, for instance, Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's name was taken: Mr. Azad is rapidly emerging as a party troubleshooter, first in Tamil Nadu, a State he is in charge of, and now in Andhra Pradesh, a State he is familiar with as he was once in charge of it.
Meanwhile, the party's energies are being consumed in firefighting — countering the Opposition's efforts to pillory it for the scams, particularly the 2G spectrum matter, calming down its MPs from Telangana, strategising how to neutralise the former Kadapa MP, Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, while planning the Jan Jagran Abhiyan and for the five Assembly elections later this year. The government, on its part, is engaged in trying to control food prices, hoping the various enquiries into the range of scams will bring some closure, even as it is working on ensuring that the Opposition attends the budget session of Parliament. For if that is also a washout, like the winter session, the government's very credibility — even existence — will be at stake.
Keywords: Congress crisis, price rise, Telangana issue, Bihar debacle, Jan Jagran Abhiyan

Bike rentals with a social twist, Ride 4 a Woman (R4W) encourages visitors to take to two wheels to support local women in a small community in Uganda. Taking advantage of the growing popularity of bike lending schemes which are flourishing all over the world, their social mission supports the inhabitants of the Bwindi community in the district of Kanungu. The grassroots organization donates all the proceeds to the local community center.
R4W claims that the women living in this remote area in the southwest corner of the country spend long days managing their households: carrying water, digging their family's garden, caring for their children and animals, and cleaning the house. With little time for them to learn a trade in order to earn money, R4W not only lends bikes to help donations, but has a long-term social strategy. They aim to empower local women by offering training in improved agriculture and animal rearing, as well as in bicycle maintenance, to help diversify career options.
R4W also helps every female member of the organization obtain her own bicycle so that she can cut down on the excessive hours of walking necessary in the area. Recognizing the valuable time that cycling saves, R4W explain that cycling is at least six times faster than walking.
The organization also promotes the surrounding environment, advertising the Bwindi impenetrable forest as a potential cycling route. Home to most of the endangered mountain gorillas and one of the oldest ecosystems, the forest is certainly an attraction to the area.

Rumor: Treyarch's next COD to be a Black Ops sequel
According to the latest chatter, Treyarch's next Call of Duty game will be a direct follow-up to last year's Black Ops, potentially creating a new sub-franchise as Infinity Ward did with Modern Warfare.
There's no surprise that Treyarch is working on another Call of Duty because ... what else would it be doing? That we could be looking at a Black Ops 2 is the interesting point, but again, since the last Black Ops was Treyarch's most creatively successful game, it's hardly a shock to think that it'll be doing another one.
That's the word on the street, anyway. Treyarch's bumping up its staff for Black Ops 2. Do what you will with such gossip.

Marketing Analyst Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks – interviewed at PepsiCo.
Quizzed on favorite advertising campaigns, my experience in marketing, the usual behavioral questions. Know about PepsiCo's core values, and have branding/strategy suggestions. I had a sociable, talkative interviewer who clicked with me, and I knew it went well based on the non-work-related conversation we enjoyed after the formal interview ended.

Marketing Analyst InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took a day – interviewed at PepsiCo in February 2009.Interview Details
PepsiCo hires around 20 marketing analysts each year, 10 MBAs, and around 10 undergrads (at target schools like Penn, Stern, Yale, Harvard, etc). Interview was 30 minute long with a brand manager. Mostly asked fit questions, and run-through of your resume. Do your homework! Make sure to know about Pepsi's past ad campaigns... they will ask questions such as "What's your favorite TV ad at the Superbowl" This is easy if you've given thought about it (or if you even watch the ads at all).
After 30 minutes, I was offered a second round interview. Then an offer was made.Interview Questions

Grind Mode - I'm So High (Remix) ft. Rick Ross
Artist: Grind Mode
Featuring: Rick Ross
Producer: Guerilla Tek & Mclezie.com
Album: I Will Grind
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 30 votes )
The newest trio to emerge from Dade County, Grind Mode, is actually a group of previously-experienced artists. McKlezie was formerly the front man for the Iconz (Slip-N-Slide's former group of Get F*cked Up fame), Chaos was the hype man for rapper Bishop, and Hunger steps into the limelight after years on his own grind. Ready to test the mid-major waters, thanks to a deal with Universal Republic, the 305 alliance has chosen to launch the remix to their underground hit I'm So High. In the vein of most rap remixes, the original beat and verses are maintained and a simplistic, yet unqiue (does anyone remember who Sam Snead is anymore?) verse by fellow Floridian Rick Ross is added. Grind Mode should feel fortunate that they have such club-ready production to give I'm So High massive spins.

Please help with UCL-what do you do to these wires?
Hi, my kitchen remodeling is coming along nicely, but I am really confused about these bundles of wires coming of the wall (see pic)
Each of these bundle used to have one fluorescent light attached and all four bundles are connected to a switch located at the entrance of the kitchen, so with one flip of the switch, all four lights come on. Now I want to move into the 21st century and get LED instead. I assume that you attach a driver to one bundle of wire and then snap several LED in place to cover the run of the cabinet and use cables to go over the microwave. I don't need a dimmer, but if I stall one, that would go in the place of the current switch correct? This way I have 3 bundle of wire left over. What do you do with these? How do you hide them? What do you think electricians will charge for installation. The one I spoke to want to charge over $500. That seems a little excessive to me, but I have no idea what a fair price would be.
Now I am no electrician but my husband bought a convertor sold at lowes that he hard wired to the electricity and plugged in the under counter lights. I think it was pretty straight forward and had instructions. Then simply plugged in the undercounter lights of your choice to it.
Utilitech Convenience Box for Direct Wire Conversion
It is a little hard to see them, but I am guessing that your "bundles" carry 120 V wiring. If so, you can use "direct-wire" LED lights (like, for example, Philips PowerCore). I have never seen the device that rtwilliams showed you, but that looks like a possibility, too.
There is no legal, safe way to get rid of the existing wires except to find their other end and disconnect them. (Well, I suppose it would be legal to install a junction box under the cabinets and terminate the wires in there, but I am not 100% sure about that.) If you disconnect them and remove them from their originating junction box, then it is legal to "abandon" them and cut the exposed ends off and shove them back into the wall. You can plaster over the hole they came out of.
The $500 does not seem outrageous to me, perhaps a little on the high side. It will take him or her the better part of a day, and they typically charge over $50/hr.
@rtwilliams, is the converter the same as the so call driver or transformer?
It seems to me that environmental lights are highly rated by people here. If I use these lights from here http://www.environmentallights.com/led-under-cabinet-lighting/environmentallights-high-brightness-premium/under-cabinet-light-bars.html
What will my setup and connection look like?
LED light------LED light-----LED light------LED light-------driver---bundles of wires from the wall?
I am not rtwilliams, but I can answer your last question. No, the device she posted just takes the house 120 V wiring and puts a plug on it. Then you can plug in lights that were designed to plug into standard wall outlets.
I cannot tell the answer to your other questions, sorry. You may try the lighting forum. Some knowledgable people over there!

I'm three months old now. We need to talk.
It's time I laid out a few baby-basics, just to save the two of us any further embarrassment and all that…
- First things first… that wasn't just a fart.
- Secondly. It never is… You should really know that by now anyway. Dressing me in white is just tempting fate lady.
- When I work out how to get out of these scratch mitts… I will go straight for your eyes.
- Dressing me up as a Christmas Pudding on Boxing Day was both tasteless and humiliating. See point above.
- Do you actually enjoy neck-brie…?! Wipe me. Or face the hug-related cheesy-hair consequences.
- Jeeeez. Yes. I can smile… get f@*king over it already.
- Although, that wasn't a smile. You're gonna need to use Vanish on that.
- No matter how many neon toys you jingle around my face, it still won't make any difference as I CAN'T SEE BASTARD COLOURS YET YOU MENTAL WENCH.
- Thanks for that hour-long 3am feed. Now here's 45 minutes worth back across your shoulder. You're welcome.
- Oh…? We're going to visit someone…? Well in that case I shall sleep the entire time including the outward and return journey, and then the second we get home. BOOM. I'll be all up in your shit.
- Every time you remove my nappy I will wee. EVERY TIME. NO MATTER WHAT. Unless you're waiting for me to wee. Then I won't. Out of principal.
- I don't actually know why I'm crying but the fact that you don't know is making me beside myself. Oh wait. It was boobs again.
- Seriously. You must have enough photos now.
- Oh and p.s. no-one on facebook wants to f@*king see them either.
Until next time then…

Police Make Drug Bust in Greene & Buckingham - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and We...
Police officers made a major drug bust in Greene and Buckingham counties overnight. Read more
1 - 20 of 31 Comments Last updated Jul 18, 2012
#1 Dec 9, 2011
From Channel 19 --- "It's a very large quantity," said Lt. Donald Campbell with the JADE Task Force. "We fell like he was supplying quite a few people in our jurisdiction with cocaine and marijuana and the bust will definitely make a dent for a while."
I sure hope Lt. Campbell doesn't honestly believe this foolishness. To put it in very simple terms that anybody can understand, K-Mart will be making more sales and realzing more profit while Walmart is temporarily closed and reorganizing. The demand is still there and more will be brought in by other drug dealers in a minute's notice.
#2 Dec 9, 2011
History Lesson.....If my memory serves me correct... I think you posted a comment on a previous story that you are a retired Police officer.... Am I correct ?
#3 Dec 9, 2011
That's a lot of weed man!
#4 Dec 9, 2011
"We felt it was a success because we got somebody off the street who had been convicted earlier of the same charge"
and they will feel successful when they do it all over again
#5 Dec 9, 2011
The proverbial drop in the bucket. You'll notice the bags are not compressed so your not looking at a lot of weed. But I'm sure the cops got their rocks of thinking they made a huge dent in the market. The only dent is in their collective minds.
#6 Dec 9, 2011
Since space is not at a premium online like it is on TV, could you cub reporters/editors please give more specific information about where in the two counties these stupendous events occurred?
RIP: Tiny Tim
#7 Dec 9, 2011
It was in the illicit substances aisle at Food Lion.

What a shame someone goes to jail , Guess its a lot no dought !
Shoot i wish i had some !

BTW, this isn't same Paul Williams who played the paunchy little twirp in the 1970s movie "Cannonball Run" opposite the great Burt Reynolds and the mediocre Jackie Gleason, is it? He was also a singer/songwriter.
I hope he has not stooped to dealing wacky tobaccy.
RIP: Benny Hill
Since: Nov 08
#10 Dec 9, 2011
Don't be angry just because the price of your weed is going to go up for a week until someone else steps up. Compressed or not, 200 lbs is a decent amount of weed, at least more than one person can smoke up before it gets skunky. Puff puff pass 'take that'.
#11 Dec 9, 2011
I stated I don't partake, oh please believe me, like I care. Besides everyone wants everyone to buy local. Now this, whats a farmer to do?
#12 Dec 10, 2011
Whatever else these idiots are, they aren't farmers. Looks like JADE is operating in a "target rich" environment. Nice work!
#13 Dec 10, 2011
Reducing supply increases demand.
A never ending circle until pot is legalized.
#14 Dec 10, 2011
"forced" retirement .....
#15 Dec 10, 2011
To say this is a big bust makes me think this is a small problem. 200 lbs of pot is nothing relative to what is used by all the people out there enjoying themselves.
I would have preferred police resources be used getting drunks, off the road where the real danger is to the public.
#16 Dec 10, 2011
We would like it if you had a BRAIN in your head !!!!
#17 Dec 10, 2011
Oh, and by the way, when cops pull up these plants they pull up roots and all, including all the dirt surrounding the roots. The purpose of course is too add weight to the confiscation thereby allowing them to puff out chests even more. The weed pictured here alone does not even come close to 200lbs. Add the roots and dirt and it might just.
#18 Dec 10, 2011
JADE has 20+ full time officers? And we see a press release like this once in a blue moon. Sounds like wasted resources and money.
#19 Dec 10, 2011
If we spent that much effort on crime on the streets we might not hear about all the crimes committed.(and alot we don't hear about). But no that makes to much sense. Go after the easy scores. Cops are brain dead, no doubt about it.
#20 Dec 10, 2011
All points are valid. Make pot legal and all this goes away except the pesky coke dealers. The war on drugs creates too many jobs in our economy. Legalization of pot would cost a lot of jobs. Probably why it will not happen for a very long time if ever. As long as there in a lot of money to be made people will continue to take the risk.

Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel is vulgar, blunt-talking, politically incorrect, and often insensitive. He's from the old school of policing and relies on his instinct, knowledge of human nature and experience to get results. Warren Clarke, one of Britain's best-loved actors, gives a consummate performance as the politically incorrect, no-nonsense copper with a penetrating wit and questionable personal habits.
Dalziel does not suffer fools gladly, but he has even more trouble with what he calls the "smart arses" of this world. So when the inexperienced, soft-spoken, whiz-kid graduate Peter Pascoe (Colin Buchanan) joins his team at Mid-Yorkshire CID, he is in for a rough ride.
Pascoe is the perfect foil as Dalziel's cultured side kick. One of the new breed of career police officers, he is armed with a degree in Social Sciences, a caring attitude and a sharp brain. At first Pascoe is somewhat taken aback by his brash and ballsy boss, but it soon becomes apparent there is more to Andy Dalziel than meets the eye.
The funniest and most endearing team in British crime detection are based on the best-selling novels of award-winning writer, Reginald Hill.
Dalziel and Pascoe does not air March 1, 8, and 15 due to special programming.
"Above the Law " (Pts 1 & 2)
March 22, 10PM
Judge Jerry Chance is in the middle of a high-profile drugs trial and under 24-hour police protection when he is brutally shot down near his home. It looks like a professional job and the accused man in the trial – Ken Barbour – is immediately the police's prime suspect. However, Barbour tells them that Chance was about to make a ruling which would invalidate the case against him.
"Walls of Silence " (Pts 1 & 2)

Alec Jordan, a 17-year-old schoolboy (a gifted cellist and the pride of his school) is found drowned in suspicious circumstances. He took a blow to the head, and his bloodstream reveals a heavy dose of 'Roofies', the date rape drug. For Dalziel, this case is an emotional minefield.Ten years ago, he was involved in a road accident in which he knocked down and killed a young woman in front of her husband and son.

Golden Amber Apricot
Hi, friends,
Does anyone know of a source for Golden Amber apricot? Bay Laurel Nursery is already sold out. I grew it about 15 years ago when I lived in Southern California, and it had absolutely wonderful flavor. Now that I have moved back to the same area, I would like to be able to grow it again. Thanks for your help!
Jennifer, I assume you are not in Indiana anymore but are back in California (it probably won't do well in Indiana). Bay Laurel gets all their trees from Dave Wilson Nursery so I would look at the other places selling Dave Wilson trees. See link below. If you are in California now, there are many retail outlets as well, and they are also listed on the Dave Wilson site.
Here is a link that might be useful: Places selling Dave Wilson trees by mail-order
I saw it on Monday at Lowes in a bag (bareroot) for $14.95. Lowes in Northridge on Corbin, maybe other stores have it as well.
They also have Sunshine Blue blueberries for $14.95 - big with blossoms and fruit.

Far Cry 3
Anyone ever had luck getting a game at midnight from Walmart?
Because it seems every time I try, the employees are ill-informed and/or lazy. However, no place around me is doing a midnight release, so it seems Walmart is, unfortunately, the only option.
They'll have it. Make them get it and earn their pay.
I just happened to be shopping at midnight on 11/11/11 and they paged "Everybody that would like a copy of Skyrim please come to electronics" over the intercom. Plus odds are it's been sitting in back for a week or more, I'm sure they'll have it.
I got Homefront at walmart at midnight.........very poor decision making on my part........
When god hand's you lemons you FIND A NEW GOD!
Same here TC, I've got 3 midnight games there with a hole employees....
You honestly have to be firm with them and don't be afraid to ask to see a manager..
One dude said they had it but "couldn't" get it from the back ,rudely mind you....so I walked away and saw the bastard immediately take out his cell and start to text...
Came back and asked for his manager. He told his employee to go in the back and get it...wasted 20 minutes of my time finding it (well worth the wait)
It was good to see a lazy ass do his job for once. I'm usually passive btw
I don't like anything in the mainstream and they don't like me.~ Bill Hicks
I've gotten at least 5 games at midnight from my 24hr Wally World. I must be lucky, there's a nice lady that worked 3rd shift and was more than happy to help me get a game from the back rather than stock the cd shelves lol.
All the time with games or DVDs. The electronics people are usually pretty happy to not have to shelve it.
I don't take the orders from the war room anymore
This is one recruit who surrenders
I do it all the time, TC. There's a Wal-Mart 200 yards away from my Gamestop, I've driven by the massive lines a couple times, holding a copy of the game people are waiting on out the window, several minutes, sometimes hours before they get theirs, and I shout "Always low prices!"
jk about the second part

that introduces the kill switch in to soldiers and spies. For national security, of course.
