GRAHAM — A jury took fewer than 30 minutes Thursday to find a
William Shane Vanhoy, 36, of Hamptonville, was charged with the crime in October 2009 after six months of chatting online about meeting a 13-year-old girl for a photo shoot and to have sex with her. Vanhoy, screen name "TwistedRider69," was posing as a freelance photographer. Det. David Sykes, of the Alamance County Sheriff's Office, was posing as a 13-year-old girl, screen name "Ashley_13cheer."
Evidence in the trial, which began late Tuesday in
Vanhoy took the stand in his own defense Thursday, saying he
"The charge is solicitation of a person believed to be a child to commit a sex act," Wickline told jurors. "Nowhere in that law does it say 'with the intent to meet at a park.' …"
Vanhoy's attorney, David Freedman, of
"He got lost in his little world on the computer. He lost his way. But he would never ... harm an individual," Freedman said.
THE ONLINE CHATS began March 12, 2009, when Vanhoy made contact with the undercover screen name in a Yahoo! chatroom. Initially, he asked to photograph the girl and told her he was a part-time photographer.
By June 2009, through chats sometimes initiated by Sgt. David Sykes with the
On the stand, Vanhoy said he'd
Several times, just before the scheduled August 2009 meeting and for several weeks after he missed that meeting, Vanhoy seemed concerned about the illegality of sex with a child. He asked if "Ashley" was OK with their age difference. He mentioned that it was illegal for them to have sex and that he didn't want to go to jail. He told the girl to keep their relationship "our secret."
Sykes executed a search warrant at Vanhoy's
Freedman had argued Sykes moved on the search and arrest because investigators knew Vanhoy wouldn't ever meet with the girl.
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE Carl R. Fox issued a suspended, mitigated five- to six-month prison sentence and placed Vanhoy on probation for 30
Vanhoy must also be evaluated and follow any treatment recommended for sex offenders. He won't be allowed to be around any female under 16 without adult supervision during his probation and can't visit any school or school activity without a female over the age of 21 with him, Fox ordered. He also isn't allowed to engage in any online chats.
Vanhoy had no prior criminal record.
"I do think you're embarrassed about all of this … and I would think you should be," Fox said during sentencing. "What you said (about being lonely and depressed) doesn't excuse your behavior. It certainly doesn't explain it. You knew this was wrong. You'd better be glad I'm not in the mood to send you to prison for this entire term."
"You came as close as you're going to come to meeting this 'Bubba' you referred to in the statement in your texts. Let me tell you, you don't want to meet 'Bubba.'"

- About Plattsburgh
Army ROTC is not a college major; rather it is a series of elective courses taken in conjunction with a student's progress toward the baccalaureate degree. Army ROTC commissionees generally take Army ROTC instruction for four years, plus a six-week summer camp. A student must be enrolled in college full-time for not less than two years to earn a commission.
Army ROTC traditionally commissions some 60-70 percent of the second lieutenants who join the active Army, the Army National Guard, and the U.S. Army Reserve. More than half the current active Army General Officers are products of the ROTC system.
Army ROTC has a resident teaching faculty on 270 colleges and universities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
All ROTC activities, to include citizenship training offered through Junior ROTC at more than 1350 high schools in all parts of the country, are commanded by U.S. Army Cadet Command with Headquarters at Fort Monroe, VA.
Gen. Colin Powell, former chairman of the joint chiefs of Staff, earned his commission through ROTC at the City University of New York. Gens. George Decker (Lafayette College), Fred Weyand (University of California-Berkeley), and General Gordon Sullivan (Norwich University) are former Army chiefs of staff who received commissions through Army ROTC. General of the Army George C. Marshall, Army chief of staff during World War II, is a graduate of a school (Virginia Military Institute), which is part of the ROTC program. He was graduated and commissioned prior to the signing of the National Defense Act of 1916.

Well I can honestly say that The Lost Seal is the worst book I've ever read in my life. It almost reads as an apology for Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. He spends enormous amounts of time trying to reconcile religion with science, asserting that the ultimate goal of science is to unlock the great mysteries of the ancient sacred texts. Choking on my own rage here! What happened to this guy?
There's a great villain but the way he's disposed of is so disappointing I actually punched a wall.
Thankfully I just picked up the new Dawkins book to wash the horrible taste out of my mouth.

Patrick Wilson and company won't be back for a second season. CBS has cancelled A Gifted Man, their low-rated Friday night drama.
Revolving around a talented but arrogant doctor who's visited by the ghost of his ex-wife, A Gifted Man ran for 16 episodes on CBS. The show features the talents of Wilson, Jennifer Ehle, Margo Martindale, Liam Aiken, Julie Benz, Pablo Schreiber, Rachelle Lefevre, Afton Williamson, Eriq La Salle, and Mike Doyle.
The TV series got off to an unimpressive start back in September, registering a 1.4 rating in the all-important 18-49 demographic with 9.45 million total viewers. In week two, the demo fell 14%, to a 1.2 rating.
Loading ...
The numbers for later episodes fluctuated up and down — even occasionally outperforming the series premiere — but were never very strong. For the show's final few episodes, CBS moved it into the 9pm timeslot but it didn't do as well as previous timeslot occupant CSI: NY.
The last episode of the season (and series aired) on March 2nd and was Gifted Man's best overall series performance, registering a 1.5 in the demo with 9.70 million total viewers. On our CBS Ratings Report Card, which measures the relaive success of shows on the network, A Gifted Man had a "D-" rating right from the start.
In Gifted Man's former timeslot, CBS tried airing episodes of reality series Undercover Boss. It performed significantly better and cost much less to produce. Gifted Man's fate had been sealed.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Gifted Man won't be back for a second season? Why do you think this series didn't catch on? Did you like or dislike the "supernatural" aspect of the series?

DoD research, acquisition face double whammy from sequestration
Thursday - 9/5/2013, 5:49am EDT
Many people in the Pentagon believe that a second year of sequestration would be more painful than what the department went through in fiscal 2013. But the official who oversees acquisition and research and development matters said his programs will be hit twice as hard as the rest of the Defense Department budget next year.
Frank Kendall, the department's undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, said for 2013, DoD was in "damage limitation mode." And while acquisition programs did take a hit, officials tried to keep programs mostly intact, not knowing where their final budget numbers would land.
But if sequestration stays in place and slices $52 billion from the Pentagon's previous spending plans for 2014, he said acquisition and R&D programs will be impacted disproportionately, in part, because they are some of the few areas of spending that the department can reduce in a single budget year.
"We can't take force structure out quickly, and we don't want to sacrifice readiness dramatically, even though we've already done some of that," he said. "Civilians can be cut, but it takes time to reduce them, and there are upfront costs associated with that. So the burden falls on research and development and procurement. If we're talking about an overall budget cut of 10 percent across the department, you can about double that for the R&D and procurement accounts. That's assuming we get the flexibility to move money around, and I'm not sure we will."
State of budget uncertainty
Speaking to an audience at the annual ComDef conference in Washington, Kendall said DoD's recent strategic choices and management review showed senior officials that they actually could find reasonable ways to reach sequestration-level spending caps, but only if they were given time to plan and make the reductions more thoughtfully over a period of several years.
Instead, he said, the department is in a state of constant uncertainty about where its budget is headed. So aside from looking for management efficiencies, it's not sure how or where to make cuts as it tries to retain a balance of resourcing between the size of the military, how it's equipped and how it's prepared to operate.
"We don't know where we're going right now. And if we don't know where we're going, we're going to be tempted to hang on to force structure that we really can't afford," he said. "By keeping that force structure, we're shifting the burden onto other parts of the budget. That uncertainty is here now. We're just a few weeks away from the start of the fiscal year. Nobody expects that there will be a budget in place by then, and nobody knows what the [continuing resolution] will say yet. We hope we'll have more flexibility than we normally would, because we need it. We need much more flexibility than we had in '13."
Kendall didn't offer specifics, but he said he already is tightening the Pentagon's acquisition belt, trying to avoid signing contracts that DoD might end up having to terminate later.
"I'm already cutting back on some commitments of resources because of the uncertainty I'm facing. I just have to do that because we don't know where we're going to end up next year or long-term," he said. "And it's not about getting rid of fat or things we don't really need. It's about getting rid of things we do need, but that we need the least. That's the situation we're in."
Smaller workforce unavoidable
Kendall's office is behind DoD's Better Buying Power initiative with its tagline of "getting better value for Defense dollars" — something he said is more important than ever at the moment. But, he said, the effort already has been harmed by sequestration because of the furloughs the cuts imposed on the civilian acquisition workforce this year.
Next year, DoD desperately wants to avoid furloughs, he said. But the overall size of the workforce is going to have to shrink one way or another.
"Whether that happens under a [reduction in force] or by us hiring virtually nobody at all, I don't know yet," he said. "It's at least a [hiring freeze], possibly a RIF, and possibly furloughs again. We really don't want to do furloughs again. It had a devastating effect on people, but the burden falls on industry too. One of the points I've tried to make to our workforce is that companies are losing money that we contract out and people are losing their jobs because of that. In the military, people don't have the equipment and training they need. None of this is good. It affects everybody, it just affects people in different ways."

Jackson's Pressler, Mariner's Lucien win state titles
Jackson freshman, Mariner sophomore win state championships in 200 free and 500 free, respectively
Samuel Wilson / The Herald
Mariner sophomore Brianna Lucien leads Newport's Maggie Pana on her way to a state title in the 500 yard freestyle during the WIAA 4A state swim and dive championships at King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way on Saturday.
Samuel Wilson / The Herald
Jackson freshman Madison Pressler swims the first leg of Jackson's eight place finish in the 400 yard freestyle relay during the WIAA 4A state swim and dive championships at King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way on Saturday.
Jackson's Madison Pressler had great timing on Saturday.
The freshman set a school record and beat her previous personal best time by more than a second, finishing in 1:53.16 to win the state championship in the 200 freestyle, edging Inglemoor's Kayla Roberson (1:53.50).
"It's exciting," Pressler said. "It's so surreal to me. I was surprised with myself. I was like, 'how did I even do that?' It's just so cool to me."
As Pressler approached the wall at the end of the race, she said she knew she wasn't alone.
"I could see her (Roberson) creeping up on me," Pressler said. "I was just like, 'I've got to hold her off,' especially towards the end."
Jackson swim coach Drew Whorley wasn't at all surprised Pressler put together a championship caliber race.
"This girl has a world of talent," he said. "She does everything right technically. She works extremely hard. She's got the right mindset for swimming and she's very competitive. I think the most exciting thing for me and the most rewarding part of it from a coaching standpoint is it gives her a degree of confidence that is critical to continue to be really successful in this sport."
Pressler held off three seniors, as well as friend Brianna Lucien of Mariner for the win. The sophomore Lucien finished in third place with a time of 1:55.06.
"The combination of a lot of factors came together at the right time for her and she capitalized on the opportunity," Whorley said of Pressler. "She went out and she was really aggressive in the race and kind of forced people to adjust to what she was doing and was able to hold on in the end.
"For her to have the confidence and the courage to put herself out there and see what happens, that was just a really bold race," Whorley said.
Winning a state championship was not exactly what Pressler had in mind coming into the race.
"I thought I would maybe get fourth because I knew there was a lot of seniors," Pressler said. "Coming in as a freshman and getting the state title, it's amazing."
Shortly after Pressler's championship, Lucien joined her as a state champion winning the 500 freestyle in 5:04.46, six seconds ahead of her closest competition and three seconds better than her preliminary time from Friday.
"I know that (Madison) and Brianna and Nicole and Brianna are really close," Whorley said. "They were cheering loudly for her. We've got great swimming in Snohomish County, especially in Wesco."
Lucien was joined in the top-eight in the 500 freestyle by Cascade's Demetra Laurent, who finished sixth in 5:19.34.
The Wesco 4A teams were well represented in several other events.
Pressler's teammate, freshman Nicole Limberg finished fifth in both the 100 breaststroke and 200 IM. She was followed in the 200 IM by Edmonds-Woodway's Luci Brock in sixth and Monroe's Lavinya Yap in eighth.
Pressler also earned a fifth place finish in the 100 backstroke and was followed by Kamiak's Laura Johnson in sixth and Monroe's Cathryn Armstrong in seventh.
Johnson and Yap also placed in the 100 butterfly, finishing seventh and eight respectively.
Kamiak (Angeline Dovinh, Johnson, Lyndsey Willis, Ingrid Straume) finished fourth in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:40.78, nearly two seconds ahead of Jackson (Pressler, Limberg, Hannah Davis, Ashley Sawyer), which finished eighth.
Snohomish (Shelby Garrison, Alyssa Hyland, Madelynn Donohue, Ella Brooks) also earned a fifth place finish in the 200 freestyle relay.
While Pressler's victory in the 200 freestyle stands out, Whorley was equally happy with Limberg, his other freshman.
"We've never had a pair of freshmen begin their career with this sort of splash," Whorley said. "They're going to be awesome kids to build around and I think there's a lot of fast swimming in their future."
Whorley was especially impressed with how his two freshmen shook off their first-day jitters for the finals on Saturday.
"The lights are really bright in that pool, especially when you haven't been there before," he said. "Yesterday I think they kind of felt that. They got past that yesterday and came back and reset today and executed."
Pressler and Limberg helped the Timberwolves place eighth overall with 102 points and Kamiak finished 12th with 69. Newport won the team championship with 232 points.
With a core of young swimmers, the Timberwolves should be competitive with the state's best for years to come.
"We're going to go far as a team," Pressler said. "I know that there is a few eighth graders coming up next year that will hopefully help our team too. So I think we will be up there with the bigger teams."

Recent Playa Bandera Reviews
What an incredible experience. It felt that, for the first time in a long while, we had a chance to properly relax, switch off and enjoy the natural beauty that rural Costa Rica has to offer. We stayed at the Rancho for a duration for a month and a half and were excessively sad to leave when the time came to do so. Fritz and Aileen welcomed us like friends, as did Oscar, the property manager. The vibe was very chill and the wild life was exactly what we were hoping it would be. Couldn't have been happier with our experience. Thank you Fritz, Aileen and Oscar. Pura vida!

Detailed Itinerary
Depart from origin. If you are commencing your journey from the United States, we can recommend the best airlines and routings for your particular needs. We can also introduce you to consolidators who offer discounted fares (First, Business and Economy) on these flights. This is a service provided solely as a convenience and extra value for our guests. We do not sell airline tickets to people not touring with us.
Day 1: Arrive at Delhi (most flights arrive either in the evening or at night). Our services begin here. You are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator and ushered to a chauffeur driven vehicle. You are then driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check in. The next day's plans are briefly reviewed and you are presented with your welcome package. Among other things, this package includes a beautiful handcrafted journal for your explorations, travel documents such as your air tickets and hotel vouchers, as well as copies of documents (such as our General Travel Guide) that were sent to you earlier.
Day 2: Delhi. You are at leisure this morning to recuperate from your international flight.
Afternoon – start your exploration of India with a tour of New Delhi. This excursion begins with the awe-inspiring Qutab Minar (1193 A.D.). This 239 ft tall medieval tower is a symbol of victory and a beautiful example of Persian architecture from that period. There is a winding stairway inside the tower that goes up all the way to the balcony at the very top of the tower – unfortunately they are no longer accessible for visitors. The Qutab Minar and its Monuments are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Within the Qutab complex, amidst the ruins of the Quwat-ul-Islam Mosque, stands one of the legendary Ashoka Pillars. This large iron pillar has withstood the ravages of Delhi's weather (and recent pollution) and has not rusted in over 1500 years. After the Qutab complex you will be driven to visit the magnificent tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Delhi has such an abundance of amazing monuments that this Tomb Complex (1562 A.D.) does not quite get the acclaim that it deserves. It is Delhi's third UNESCO World Heritage Site and its amazing architecture and the elaborate gardens will captivate you.
From the tomb you will proceed on a drive to Lutyens' New Delhi. Time permitting (you will have time available on the next day for completing this exploration), this drive will include photo opportunities at some of the following attractions - the exterior of the massive and awe-inspiring Rashtrapati Bhawan (known as Viceroy's House during the British era), Delhi's landmark structure India Gate, a golden domed Sikh Temple (Bangla Sahib Gurudwara), & the Birla Temple. The last part of this excursion is a drive through Connaught Place, which is New Delhi's downtown.
Day 3: Delhi. Enjoy a guided city tour of Old Delhi. Drive, walk and ride through the ancient city's streets and alleys; explore crowded and colorful bazaars. This excursion includes a tour of the Charity Bird Hospital inside the Jain Digambra Tempe. The hospital is free of charge but not meant for pet birds as Jain philosophy dictates that any birds brought in here are released in the open after they recover. Next comes an exploration of the Jama Masjid (1650 AD), the largest mosque in India. The Masjid (Mosque) is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture and is constructed of red sandstone and white marble. It is an active place of worship and its courtyard can hold 25,000 worshippers. You continue on to the amazing Red Fort that was finished a decade before the mosque. Both structures were built by Shah Jahan, the emperor that created the Taj Mahal. The great city inside the massive sandstone walls of the Red Fort offers visitors a large number of architectural and historical attractions; it was once known as the 8th wonder of the world. The Red Fort was the seat of the Mughal Empire for more than two hundred and fifty years and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an amazing example of a blend of Persian, Indian, and European architecture. You will also experience a fascinating rickshaw ride in the ancient alleys of the crowded and colorful bazaar at Chandni Chowk. After these experiences a short drive will deliver you to an oasis of calm and serenity, which also happens to be your last destination in Old Delhi. The cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi (Raj Ghat) is a simple yet stirring memorial to the father of the nation. Lush lawns extend beyond the enclosure that surrounds the black marble platform occupying the spot where the Mahatma was cremated. An eternal flame burns next to the platform.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon – Enjoy a guided visit to the National Museum of Natural History. This is India's finest museum and has a vast selection of fascinating exhibits spanning many millennia of India's history. The second museum experience is an exploration of the National Rail Museum (closed on Mondays), with its collection of steam powered locomotives. This includes the Fairy Queen, the world's oldest running locomotive, built in 1885. There are a number of other fascinating exhibits, including one of the two remaining Morris-Belsize Fire Engine's in the world today, various Saloon's that were built for Indian and British Royalty, and a toy train takes you around (available on most days) the 10 acre museum.
Day 4: Delhi. You are at leisure on this day. The only service provided by Easy Tours is your Hotel Room, including breakfast and taxes. A chauffeur driven vehicle as well as a guide can be arranged for half a day or the full day. Delhi has a lot of experiences and activities that you can indulge in, including great dining and souvenir shopping. There are interactive experiences that families can enjoy, such as the shows at the impressive Akshardham Temple Complex. Our staff can make suggestions based on your preferences.
Day 5: Delhi – Agra. You are assisted with your checkout from your hotel and driven to Delhi's railway station where you are assisted with boarding the early morning Express train to Agra for a two hour journey. This is an opportunity to experience an Indian Railway Station, something that you will find nowhere else on this planet. Your Easy Tours Facilitator assists you in getting seated in your assigned seats and gets your luggage ported to the appropriate location above your seats. The facilitator stays with you until the train departs. Your Travel Facilitator provides you with a detailed itinerary of the trains schedule so as to make you comfortable with every step of the journey. Refreshments are served by Indian Railways during this journey – we recommend that you refrain from consuming these (except for the bottled water) as you will have been provided with a bagged breakfast. You are greeted by an Easy Tours Facilitator on your arrival at Agra. If an early check-in is available, you are driven to your hotel and assisted with your check-in. If it is not available, you can either commence your guided exploration directly or opt to visit your hotel and use the facilities there before you start your sightseeing.
You now start your exploration of Agra with a half day city tour of the magnificent monuments of this city. The exploration of Agra includes a visit to the famous tomb of Itmad-Ud–Daulah. This memorial was built by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir's queen as a memorial to her father. The tombs sheer beauty will surprise you – the only reason it does not get more accolades is because it shares the stage with the incomparable Taj Mahal. Like the Taj it has amazingly intricate 'Pietra Dura' inlay and lattice marble screens. The mausoleum rests in a walled garden with a view of the river Yamuna. Constructed in the year 1628, most historians believe that its design provided the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. After your exploration of the tomb you will visit the first red sandstone fort of North India, the Agra Fort. It was built in 1565 by India's greatest Mughal ruler, Emperor Akbar. Its royal audience halls, immense stone courtyards, marble mosque and the private royal chambers give us a glimpse of the grandeur of the Mughal Empire.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the incomparable Taj Mahal. The world's greatest monument dedicated to love is obviously a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal was completed by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 AD as a memorial to his beloved queen, Mumtaz Mahal. This spectacular white marble mausoleum was created by about 22,000 skilled craftsmen and it took twenty two years to complete. When you experience the Taj Mahal with an Easy Tours Guide and have them provide unique insights into its innumerable facets, some of their passion for this masterpiece may rub off on you! Explore the amazing Taj and its surroundings until it is time to admire the sun's rays setting on the façade of the world's finest monument.
Day 6: Agra – Jaipur. You can either sleep in or chose to enjoy either of these two optional excursions - a sunrise visit to Mehtab Bagh (no charge), which is a 500 year old Mughal garden located across from the Taj Mahal on the other side of the Yamuna River; or a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal (entry fee surcharge applies). If you select either of the latter options, you will return to your hotel to freshen up after the excursion. An optional experience where you can learn how to tie a Sari or a Turban is available this midmorning. You can choose to enjoy the facilities at your hotel until just before noon. If you do not start out for Ranthambore fairly early in the morning (enabling you to have a late lunch on arrival), we recommend that you consider getting a packed lunch from the hotel for your journey. The dining/rest stopover during the journey offers limited choices.
You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and then you are driven to Fatehpur Sikri. Enjoy a guided exploration of this beautiful uninhabited city. It was built by Emperor Akbar between 1570 and 1585 and is constructed primarily out of red sandstone. The Emperor moved his capital from Agra to this city and then, a few years later, abandoned it, returning back to Agra. Visit the tallest gateway in the world, the towering Bulund Darwaza (The Gate of Victory). In the northern part of the courtyard is the superb white marble tomb of Shaik Salim Chishti, built in 1570.
Continue on with your journey to Jaipur. You are assisted with your check in at your hotel at Jaipur.
Evening – Join your Easy Tours Facilitator and drive to a local restaurant where you will enjoy a dinner and Rajasthani cultural show that includes regional dance, music and acrobatic performances.
Jaipur is famous for its carpets, jewelry & handicrafts.
Day 7: Jaipur. Join your chauffeur and guide for the short drive to Amer Fort. Just like the Emperors of a few centuries ago, enjoy the ascent up to the ramparts of the fort on top of a colorfully caparisoned elephant (jeeps are available instead of the elephants, if you so desire). The massive Fort complex was originally built by Raja Mansingh and is one of India's finest examples of Rajput architecture. Explore the chambers and hallways, which are famous for their exquisite designs and handcrafted embellishments. Return to the valley beneath the Fort on your elephant or jeep and proceed to your Jaipur Hotel, where you are assisted with your check-in.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - enjoy a city tour of the walled city of Jaipur, including the magnificent City Palace. Visit Jantar Mantar (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the magnificent stone observatory built by Raja Jai Singh in 1728. After the observatory comes a photo opportunity of the 'Hawa Mahal' (Palace of the Wind). This intriguing facade was built in 1799 so that the ladies of the court could use its unique windows and observe the bustling bazaar, without being visible to the people on the streets. Continue the tour with an exploration of the City Palace, the former royal residence (a part of it is still occupied by the Royal family and is not accessible to the public), built in a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles. This immense complex also houses a number of museums that offer a large and impressive collection of miniature paintings, costumes, and armory.
Day 8: Jaipur. Join your chauffeur and guide at 10 am and proceed to a nearby village to experience rural culture. You will watch the farmers go about their daily activities, and get to observe how the vast majority of Indians contently live simple and hard working lives.
Afternoon - you are at leisure with your chauffeur and guide, who are available to you until 7 pm. An optional stop this afternoon allows the ladies to get Mehndi (Henna) designs applied to their hands and/or feet. There are various other experiences and activities that you can indulge in. Jaipur is India's shopping capital for tourists and this is a good time to shop for Rajasthani specialties if you are so inclined. Or you can choose to enjoy the facilities at your hotel.
Day 9: Jaipur - Jodhpur. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel in the morning and then you proceed on the drive to Jodhpur. Arrive at Jodhpur and you are assisted with your check-in to your hotel.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Proceed on a half day city tour of Jodhpur. The tour begins from the fifteenth century Mehrangarh Fort. This formidable hilltop fort is arguably the most awe inspiring in Rajasthan, a land of impressive hilltop forts and palaces. Entry to the massive fort is through a series of seven great gates, with the main entrance being the huge Lohapol, which literally means Iron Gate. Next to this gate there are 15 hand prints in the wall, the Sati Marks of Maharaja Man Singh's widows. These hand prints were etched into the wall by the queens just prior to them throwing themselves upon his funeral pyre in 1843, as the besieged fort was about to be conquered. Inside the fort is a collection of some of the finest palaces and galleries, including, Moti Mahal (Pearl Palace), Sukh Mahal (Pleasure Palace), Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), Elephant Howdah Gallery, Palanquin Gallery, the Armory, the Turban Gallery, and the Folk Music Gallery. The Daulat Khana houses one of the world's finest collections of Mughal Art. On your way back to your hotel you will stop for a tour of Jaswant Thada, a marble cenotaph built in 1899 as a memorial to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
Day 10: Jodhpur. You are at leisure this morning. A chauffeur driven vehicle as well as a guide can be arranged for half a day for you toexplore the Blue City. There is an exhilarating option for a Zip Line experience above the Mehrangarh Fort and surrounding areas.
Afternoon – Enjoy an excursion (by jeep) to a rural community on the outskirts of Jodhpur. The village you will visit is inhabited by the Bishnoi tribe. Among other activities, you will spend some time at the home of a potter and his extended family, and even try your hand at the potter's wheel. You also have the option to witness a ceremony that is unique to this part of Rajasthan. A fairly well off local tribe has a ritual in which the adults, upon returning from working their fields at the end of the day, are greeted by the youth with water pipes laden with opium. You are invited to observe as the adults indulge in this recreational activity.
Day 11: Jodhpur – Kumbhalgarh. You are assisted with your check out in the mid-morning and you proceed on the drive to Ranakpur. Arrive at Ranakpur around noon and enjoy a guided excursion to the awe-inspiring Jain Temple Complex. Tour the famous 15th Century marble temple that is still an active place of worship. The main temples 29 halls are supported by 1444 massive yet intricately carved marble pillars, and no two are of the same design. There is an abundance of exquisite sculptures and friezes and the enormous scale of the monument and the exquisite details of its design have to be experienced to be believed.
Lunch is included at Ranakpur this afternoon. Proceed on the drive to Kumbhalgarh. This short drive is one of the most picturesque drives in all of India and offers great photo opportunities in rural communities that dot the countryside. The Aravali mountain range is densely wooded for most of this drive and sighting wildlife is not unusual. The elevation here ranges between 2000 and 3000 feet and the evenings can get chilly in winter.
Evening - Head out to the Fort with your chauffeur to experience the impressive sound and light show (the show is pre-empted on certain nights but even the lighting ceremony itself is worth this short excursion). Stop at the hillside vantage point a few hundred yards before the Fort and watch as different parts of the fort complex light up progressively. Continue on to the Fort after it is lit up and get a unique experience - a true Rajasthani Fort at night.
Day 12: Kumbhalgarh - Udaipur. Check out of your hotel in the morning and head out for a guided exploration of the Fort. The Kumbhalgarh Fort was built by Rana Kumbha in the fifteenth century; this fort is one of the best examples of defensive architecture in Rajasthan and boasts of the second longest contiguous wall on the planet. A number of palaces, temples and monuments were added within the fort walls after its construction. The Fort complex is incredibly picturesque and offers various photo opportunities. There are temples in many parts of the Fort Complex and a hike can even take you to Jain Temples that are purported to be almost 2000 years old.
After tour, join your chauffeur for the two and a half hour drive to Udaipur. This is a picturesque drive through the Aravali hills with multiple photo opportunities of village life and local livestock, including many camels. Arrive at Udaipur in the early afternoon and you are assisted with your check-in to your hotel. You are at leisure for the rest of the day.
Udaipur is famous for its artists and paintings, including exquisite miniatures.
Day 13: Udaipur. Proceed for a city tour, including a tour of the fabled City Palace. At this Palace complex, explore the beautifully decorated rooms with thousands of exquisite, handcrafted mirrors that cover the walls, the ancient ivory doors that are a dark reminder of royalty's passion for hunting, the brightly colored glass windows, expansive inlaid marble balconies and the unique peacock courtyard. Enjoy a private tour of the amazing Crystal Gallery which houses the world's largest collection of priceless crystal. Marvel at pieces like the complete bedroom furniture set in crystal, discovered recently in a store room in the palace. There are amazing views to be had from this structure, especially of Lake Pichola, the Lake Palace hotel and Jag Mandir.
After your tour of the City Palace you will visit the historical Sahelion-ki-bari gardens and the local Museum.
Late afternoon/Early evening: Enjoy a cruise on Lake Pichola and visit the historical and beautiful monuments at Jag Mandir Island (if available – the royal family at Udaipur will occasionally rent out the island for large celebrations and on those occasions the island cannot be visited by tourists).
Day 14: Udaipur. You are at leisure on this day. A chauffeur driven vehicle as well as a guide can be arranged for half a day or the full day. Udaipur is one of North India's prettiest cities and there are areas that are great to explore on foot. There are other options that our staff can offer you.
Day 15: Udaipur - Mumbai. You are assisted with your check-out of your hotel and driven to the airport to board the flight to Mumbai. The pricing on this itinerary is based on this day being Friday or Saturday. On the other days of the week, there will be an extra charge for the second room at the Mumbai hotel.
You are greeted at the Mumbai airport by an Easy Tours Facilitator & your personal chauffeur. You are driven to your ocean front hotel and assisted with your check-in. You are at leisure for the balance of the day to both relax and enjoy the hotels facilities, or to explore the colorful area around your hotel.
Day 16: Mumbai. Join your guide in the morning and proceed for a five to six hour excursion to the Elephanta Island Caves. Please note that no agency is able to select a local guide at Mumbai. The guides there are unionized and work on a rotation basis. Their quality is often nowhere near the quality of Easy Tours Guide's in other destinations. Depending on your arrival at the jetty, you will stop for photo opportunities at the city's signature landmark, The Gateway of India, either before you depart or when you return from this excursion. Located overlooking Mumbai's harbor this structure was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai. It is also the ceremonial gateway that the last British Viceroy departed from when India gained Independence. You are assisted in boarding the boat for the one hour journey. Elephanta is Mumbai's most significant tourist attraction and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are five Hindu Caves dedicated to Lord Shiva and two Buddhist caves. Your tour will focus on the Hindu Caves. Carved out of hard basalt between 450 A.D. and 750 A.D., the main cave was an active place of worship till the Portuguese conquered the area and inflicted severe damage to the caves in the early 16th century. In its heyday the island was known as Gharapuri (the Fortress city) and there is still a village on the island with the same name. The island was renamed Elephanta by the Portuguese. Although the caves have many massive sculptures of Lord Shiva and other divinities, the most impressive creation at Elephanta is the Trimurthi sculpture. This 20 foot tall three headed figure portrays the three manifestations of Lord Shiva – The Creator of all life, The Preserver of humanity and The Destroyer of the world. You will be escorted back to your Hotel after your excursion to Elephanta.
Day 17: Mumbai - International Flight. You are assisted with your check-out at noon and proceed for a guided tour of Mumbai. Please note that no agency is able to select a local guide at Mumbai. The guides there are unionized and work on a rotation basis. Their quality is frequently very poor. The tour begins at the Prince of Wales Museum, built to commemorate King George V's first visit to India in 1905. Designed in the Indo-Saracenic style, the museum has sections of art, paintings, archeological exhibits and natural history. After the museum tour you will visit the famous 'Dhobi Ghat' & observe the age old tradition of the Dhobi's doing Mumbai's laundry!
There is a break for lunch.
Continue the tour with a drive up to Malabar Hill, where the hanging gardens give a panoramic view of the city and the "Queen's Necklace" (Marine Drive). The tour then takes a drive through the Flora Fountain and Fort area, where you can view the impressive Gothic and Victorian buildings that were constructed during the British 'Raj'. Visit the Victoria Terminus (now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus). It is India's finest example of a Gothic architecture and one of the world's busiest railway stations. Drive around Horniman Circle and visit the Town Hall, right besides the docks of Mumbai. Visit the city's signature landmark, "The Gateway of India", situated overlooking Mumbai's harbor. This structure was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai.
Your vehicle and chauffeur will stay with you until your assisted check in at the international terminal. This is a good time to do some last minute shopping and/or sightseeing if you are so inclined.
If your flight departs early the next morning you may want us to arrange a room for you so you can rest.
Our services end at Mumbai airport.

CBS has long had a problem finding the right sitcom to round out their Monday night line-up. Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother, and The Big Bang Theory work well but the network needs a solid fourth player. As this season began, it looked like Accidentally on Purpose just might be the one. No longer. It's been cancelled.
Accidentally on Purpose revolves around thirty-something Billie Chase (Jenna Elfman) after she breaks up with her boyfriend/boss (Grant Show). She has a one-night fling with a much younger man, Zack (Jon Foster), and becomes pregnant. Billie ultimately decides to keep both the baby and the guy. The series also features Lennon Parham, Nicolas Wright, Ashley Jensen, and Pooch Hall.
The TV show got off to a pretty good start with a 3.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 8.91 million viewers. On Monday nights, the first 15 episodes ended up averaging a 3.1 in the demo and 8.23 million viewers. That's actually quite good but the network has very high expectations because the TV show is surrounded by their very popular comedies. The real test is to see how well the series will perform on another night.
After a hiatus, CBS brought Accidentally on Purpose to Wednesday nights. With The New Adventures of Old Christine as a lead-in, the ratings fell like a rock. The three original episodes averaged a 1.8 in the key demo and 5.72 million viewers. If there was any hope for the series, these numbers dashed them.
CBS has now confirmed that the sitcom has been cancelled and will not be returning for season two. CBS can afford to be picky in what sitcoms it keeps and has also cancelled Gary Unmarried after two seasons and Old Christine after five.
Fortunately, the network aired all 18 episodes of Accidentally on Purpose and viewers got to see Billie give birth. Unfortunately, they won't get to see how she and Zack cope as new parents.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Accidentally on Purpose has been cancelled or did CBS make the right choice?

Jackson boys use depth to win district title
Timberwolves stop Arlington to win 4A District 1 championship.
He failed to consider Kyle Graff and Connor Willgress.
Graff scored 12 points, all in the first half and Willgress scored 14, including 10 in the second half, to lead Jackson (23-0) to a 58-42 win and the 4A District 1 championship.
Arlington came out in a triangle-and-two defense to attempt to slow down Todd and Kingma, but Graff's three first quarter 3-pointers shot the Eagles right out of their defensive plan.
"I just wasn't thinking about it. I just let it go and hoped it was going in," Graff said after the game.
The Timberwolves shot 44 percent in the first half and held the Eagles to just 29 percent shooting. It was enough for Jackson to build a 30-16 lead at halftime.
"We shot the ball poorly and I think that's a big thing," Arlington head coach Nick Brown said.
Even with the poor shooting, the Eagles kept it interesting in the second half. They never allowed Jackson to pull away and closed the deficit to as little as eight points in the final quarter. But it seemed every time the Eagles would get close, someone for Jackson would make a big shot.
Perhaps the biggest answer the Timberwolves had was after Terry Dawn's 3-pointer cut the Timberwolves' lead to eight with just under six minutes remaining in the game. Jackson head coach Steven Johnson called his only timeout of the night and set up a play for his best player.
"We did a nice job at eight points," Jackson head coach Steve Johnson said. "They were definitely making a run, Dawn hits that 3 and then we did a nice job of getting the ball inside to Jason and he obviously made a great play. You can tell your kids to get the ball inside to a certain player, but he's got to go inside and make a six-foot left-handed hook over somebody. It's pretty easy for me to say it; it's another thing to do it."
It is shots like that in key situations that have helped the Timberwolves to an undefeated record going into regionals. Johnson said being undefeated doesn't add any pressure as the team moves on in the postseason.
"If there is (added pressure), what can we do about it?" Johnson said. "There is nothing we can do about it now. So I'm going to say no because there is nothing we can do about it. I've had a lot of people ask me that and I'm like, 'well, are we supposed to lose one on purpose?' I don't know. It's been a weird deal. It's obviously a good problem to have."
If being undefeated doesn't add a target to their back, Friday's win gave the Timberwolves their third consecutive district championship.
"It feels great," Johnson said. "I feel so privileged and humbled to get to coach such great kids and great players. I'm so appreciative of all the people who have helped build the program up at the youth level and select level. A lot of people have bought in to try and achieve excellence.
"I can't remember to many Wesco teams since I have been around that have ever done this before. Or, for that matter, any district. Rarely does someone win a district three years in a row."
After two of the Eagles' three losses this season have come at the hands of the Timberwolves, Brown is convinced of how talented they are.
"They are the best," he said. "They played better than us tonight and I think they were a better team than us tonight. But I do think maybe one time out of ten or whatever it is that ... Tonight they were the better team. Is there a night where we could be? I would like to think so. This is my team and I'm going to believe in them. But they aren't just good, they are phenomenal."

Softball Blanked in Both Games at #9 Lenoir-Rhyne
February 20, 2012
HICKORY, N.C. - Nationally ninth-ranked Lenoir-Rhyne University used one swing in game one and 10 hits in game two to sweep Pfeiffer University 2-0 and 9-0 (6) in non-conference softball action at Bears Field on Monday. The Bears improve to 10-2 on the year while the Lady Falcons drop to 2-4.
Lenoir-Rhyne needed just one pitch in the third to grab the win. After Marie Mauhar drew a one out walk, lead-off hitter Jody Mizelle cranked a two-out, two-run blast to left for the game's only runs. Pfeiffer managed just two hits in the game one loss with a Hannah Jackson triple in the first and a Kirsten Patterson lead-off single in the seventh. Melanie Conklin suffered the tough-luck loss in the circle surrendering the two runs on just two hits while striking out 12.
Carlee Carpenter would go 2-for-4 in game two with five RBI to lead the Bears. Lenoir-Rhyne scored two runs in the second, third and fourth before finishing with three in the sixth. Ashlee Ellen collected two of the three Lady Falcon hits in game two while Celia Dew had the other.
Pfeiffer continues to the middle of their current three-game road trip on Thursday with a 2:00 p.m. matchup at Newberry. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

What is the scientific evidence behind omega-3 fatty acids? Recommendations to prevent heart attacks What are fats, fatty acids, and omega-3 fatty acids? Fatty acids consist of chains of carbon atoms linked together by chemical bonds. On one end (terminal) of the carbon chain is a methyl group (a cluster of carbon and hydrogen atoms). On the other terminal is a carboxyl group (a cluster of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms). The chemical bonds between carbon atoms can be either single or double bonds. Single bonds have more hydrogen molecules around them than double bonds. These chemical bonds determine whether a fatty acid is saturated or unsaturated (see discussion below). Fatty acids also come in different lengths: short chain fatty acids have fewer than 6 carbons, while long chain fatty acids have 12 or more carbons. Fatty acids serve as energy for the muscles, heart, and other organs as building blocks for cell membranes and as energy storage for the body. Fatty acids that are not used up as energy are converted into triglycerides. A triglyceride is a molecule formed by attaching three fatty acids onto a glycerol compound that serves as a backbone. Triglycerides are then stored in the body as fat (adipose) tissue. Saturated fatty acids contain single bonds only. Fats containing saturated fatty acids are called saturated fats. Examples of foods high in saturated fats include lard, butter, whole milk, cream, eggs, red meat, chocolate, and solid shortenings. An excess intake of saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol and increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one double bond. Examples of foods high in monounsaturated fat include avocados, nuts, and olive, peanut, and canola oils. Scientists believe that increased consumption of monounsaturated fats (for example, eating more nuts) is beneficial in lowering LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) and lowering the risk of coronary heart disease, especially if monounsaturated fats are used to substitute for saturated fats and refined sugars. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one double bond. Examples of foods high in polyunsaturated fats include vegetable oils, corn, sunflower, and soy. Essential fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that the human body needs for metabolic functioning but cannot produce, and therefore has to be acquired from food. Omega-3 fatty acids are a class of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids with the double bond in the third carbon position from the methyl terminal (hence the use of "3" in their description). Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, halibut, sardines, albacore, trout, herring, walnut, flaxseed oil, and canola oil. Other foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids include shrimp, clams, light chunk tuna, catfish, cod, and spinach. Omega-6 fatty acids are a class of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids with the initial double bond in the sixth carbon position from the methyl group (hence the "6"). Examples of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids include corn, safflower, sunflower, soybean, and cottonseed oil. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are also referred to as n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, respectively. Trans fatty acids (trans fats) are made through hydrogenation to solidify liquid oils. Heating omega-6 oils, such as corn oil, to high temperatures creates trans fats. Trans fats increase the shelf life of oils and are found in vegetable shortenings and in some margarines, commercial pastries, fried foods, crackers, cookies, and snack foods. The intake of trans fatty acids increases blood LDL-cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol), decreases HDL cholesterol ("good cholesterol"), and raises the risk of coronary heart disease.

TRENTON — Far from Jones Senior's memory is a 2011-12 season in which its boys basketball team struggled to win six games.
This year, the Trojans — with a new head coach and a revamped lineup — are expecting to bring home the bacon.
Jones Senior, which opens the season today at Spring Creek, will debut its new head coach in Jason Barker and a lineup comprised mostly of guards that Barker expects to do big things.
Barker served as an assistant for two years to former coach Glenn Smith, who stepped away to spend more time with his family, Barker said. After going through the interview process, Barker was given his first head varsity boys basketball job and he's expecting a 6-18 season last year to be turned around immediately.
The Trojans' tallest player is "maybe" 6-foot-2.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity. I'm just ready to get it going tomorrow," Barker said.
"Our goal is always going to be (the) conference championship. East Carteret did a great job last year. They didn't have no size and they still won the regular season title. I feel like we've got enough guys that can play that have a lot of effort and energy that I feel like we're going to have a chance at it."
Graduated forward Andrew Bryant was the Trojans' tallest player last season at 6-foot-4. This season, Barker said it's junior forward Demetrius Williams.
Barker said he plans on turning his team's weakness into its strength. Since the Trojans are so small, Barker plans on using a pressure defense and a run-and-gun offense that can score at the basket and away from it.
"I don't know if you can really get smaller than what we were (last year) but we're actually smaller than what we were," Barker said. "Just the size-wise, we don't have no big, tall guy or nothing like that. We got a bunch of wing guys. We've got a bunch of athletic guys (and) I feel like they're all-around players who can do a little bit of everything.
"We're trying to (run) a system that works off our positives that we have. Our guys do have a lot of positives we just don't have any real big guys. We've got some all-around players that are pretty good — they're good athletes — and we're just going to try and put them in a situation where they can excel."
One of those areas the Trojans will excel at is on the defensive end, Barker believes.
"I think that's a big key for us, honestly. … I think we have pretty good defensive players," he said. "I think being able to apply defensive pressure and getting into a fast break situation is going to be key for us."
A big plus for Jones Senior this year is it returns its top two scorers from a year ago. Sharp-shooting senior Miguel Foy is back after posting an area-best 17.1 points per game last season. Also back is junior guard K.D. McCall, who averaged 8.6 ppg as a sophomore.
"They're going to be pretty huge for us, there's no question about it. They're pretty good all-around players who can do everything," Barker said.
"Miguel's probably the better scoring option, and K.D. just brings that all-out effort."
While Foy and McCall may be the names followers of the Trojans will recognize the most, a couple newcomers as well as a few reserves from last season are expected to contribute.
Eric Dudley Jr. and Parrish Bryant are both newcomers to the Trenton community. Dudley is a 5-9 senior guard while Bryant is a 6-foot senior forward who Barker called a "big-bodied guy."
The Trojans also pulled up sophomore guard Glen White from the junior varsity squad.
"They look really good in practice so I'm eager to see what they can do for us," Barker said. "I'm anticipating seeing this team and who's going to step up because we're going to need a couple of those guys to step up and all of them are capable of it."
One area of concern Barker has is health. Before playing its first regular season game today his team has already suffered from injuries.
Darvoris Batts and Marcus Staten, both starters last season, will miss the entire 2012-13 season due to knee injuries suffered in football, Barker said.
That's why he's looking for a few to step up and join Foy and McCall — and believing they will to make a run at a Coastal Plains 1A title.
"They were going to be pretty big pieces for us. Like I said, those other four or five guys, I feel pretty confident in them, from what I've seen so far, that they're going to be able to step up and help us," Barker said.
"If we can get healthy and stay healthy — that'll be the key — I feel like we've got a shot at it."
Trojans girls upbeat despite losses
Only once before in her now 27 years as Jones Senior's girls basketball coach has Debbie Philyaw opened a season after losing so much from the year before.
Still, Philyaw's approach to a year that begins tonight at Spring Creek after losing 83 percent (39.2 points per game) of its scoring from a year ago is the same as the 26 before it.
The Trojans may have lost six seniors and captains from a team that went 21-3, won the Coastal Plains 1A conference regular season and tournament titles and reached the third round of the state playoffs a season ago, but that isn't keeping Philyaw from using the same coaching and teaching points she's used her entire career in Trenton.
At the same time, she doesn't deny the challenges that lie ahead.
"We've got a lot of work to do. We lost a lot of valuable experience. The kids that made this basketball team this year has got some big shoes to fill," Philyaw said.
"I (had a similar season to this one) one other year — and it's been quite a few years back, I can't tell you the year. … We've had four successful years. I've really got spoiled with the kids that left me."
In the four-year careers of Travonda Haddock, China Marshall, Jasmine Bender, Madelyne Philyaw, Shakia Boomer and Brittany Daniels, the Trojans went 70-17, won two league titles and came within a victory of reaching the 1A Eastern Regionals three times.
This year, Jones Senior returns seven from last season but its top two returning scorers — junior Ashley Brimmage and senior Qua'Shawnna McKinnon — combined for nearly a nine point-per-game average last season according to stats at Maxpreps.com.
"As far as scoring, you're looking at a total of about 10 points off of last year's squad coming back. So we've got to have someone step up at the scoring position," Philyaw said.
Joining Brimmage and McKinnon as returners are juniors Symone Brooks, Markiara Staten and Daja McDaniel, and sophomores Caleigh Fout and Destini Tyson.
Only a few played significant minutes last year so Philyaw expects there to be a learning curve.
The Trojans also have four freshmen on the roster this year.
"These are the young ladies that return off of last year's team. Three or four of them have, you know, some quality minutes in games from last season," Philyaw said.
"We'll be running the same offense and defense that we've been running. Basically, we're just having to break everything down and just look at skill, skill, skill," the longtime coach added. "They have to be refined because on this year's squad I've got four freshmen … and you're looking at putting a possible ninth grader on the floor against a senior in high school. There's going to be quite a bit of skill-level difference for the most part, so we really have stressed the fundamentals, the basics, and I will continue to do that for, probably a while."
Although Jones Senior is the defending league champ, Philyaw, who said she thinks Lejeune is the favorite to win the league this year, isn't so much worried about a repeat as she is developing a team that is built around youth and chemistry.
To do that, the Jones County native and school alum will do the same thing she's done since 1986.
"These kids know that they're wearing the name Jones Senior. First of all that's a lot of pride, and they know they have some big shoes to fill. We will go into this season challenging each one of these young ladies to step up. I expect these young ladies to develop some chemistry, hopefully, early on. We're going to be OK," Philyaw said.
"We're going to approach it like any other season. We never would take less than what all you can give from them. We expect 100 percent 100 percent of the time. Whether we'll be successful all the time or not? Hey, we don't know. But we're going to give it our all every game."
