We'll miss those lovely walks most. I mean, what beats a casual stroll on a splendid summer's evening at the foot of the Rocky Mountains?
And boy, Chris Iannetta could walk. A confident gait. Leisurely but powerful. Like you just knew his leg muscles were coiled and ready to spring into a trot if ever that became truly necessary. Last season, it rarely was.
All those bases on balls — a career-high 70 of them last season. As the No. 8 hitter in your Colorado Rockies lineup. With the pitcher on deck! And don't forget the 89 whiffs. Iannetta was either walking to first base or walking back to the dugout. The bat was just for show, or the occasional pop-up to the second baseman or double-play ball.
In six seasons at Coors Field, he averaged about 10 dingers and just under 40 RBI at a batting average of .235. All that potential bop in a bat he kept glued to his shoulder, or waved feebly at tumbling sliders. Other teams clearly could see what the guy should be capable of, as clearly as the Rox were beginning to see that yet another "catcher of the future" simply wasn't worth waiting around for anymore.
So when the Angels began to nibble, it was time to walk … away.
I think Chris Iannetta is uniquely suited to understand that.
You assertion of Iannetta only getting those walks because he was in the 8-hole is a bit misleading. In 551 PA's batting in the 7-hole (without the pitcher on deck!), Iannetta's OBP is .351. Compare that to the .361 OBP in 800+ PA's in the 8-hole.
Iannetta may not have been the Rox's future catcher but I think its safe to say, Tyler Chatwood isn't necessarily the future either.
Your denigration of the walk speeks volumes to your naivete of the value of OBP. It's truely a measure of outs not made. Outs being the most valuable comodity a team has. Any batter who leaves the plate without having made an out is a succesfull one.

Looking for a new espresso bean grinder? The Compak K3 Touch Coffee Grinder offers both power and functionality in a stylish and kitchen friendly package. The key to a quality home brewed espresso shot is starting with the right grind extraction and beans that have been ground into the proper consistency. Home baristas and coffee houses who are looking for this specific grind consistency will find that achieving these results can be simple thanks to the Compak K3 Touch Espresso Grinder. This machine makes grinding espresso fast and easy and brings users a highly functional yet powerful device that can easily impress even the most particular of users.
This model features a number of other state of the art functions that are typically not found in grinders of this class. The unique design has been created to fit in both home kitchens and espresso bars and features additions such as a stepless micrometrical grind adjustment switch, high capacity hopper and a powerful 250 watt motor. The newest models of the K3 Touch boast a timer dial on the front of the machine (it was previously on the bottom) and an adjustable portafilter holder. Together these features make this machine easy enough for novice users to handle yet powerful enough to handle medium to high capacity output.
All of these features come packed inside a durable stainless steel package that is both stylish and easy to care for. Available in Black, Red, and Polished Aluminum. The doserless design of this machine makes the machine a simple to use and mess-free addition to any home or restaurant. Compak is known throughout the industry for its quality reputation, and this example is no exception to this standard.
This model is recommended for small restaurant and home use. An optional short bean hopper is available for this model as a separate purchase.
The Compak K3 Touch Grinder provides users commercial grade power and functionality, packed inside of a sleek and stylish package. This machine comes in several colors, including the classic black version of this grinder that is sure to compliment any kitchen or professional espresso bar. Designed with durability in mind, this model is made with an aluminum frame at its base. The exterior of this machine is made of a durable steel material that is not only cosmetically appealing, but easy to care for as well. Created to withstand consistent use, this machine is resistant to rusting and staining.
Inside, the device's grinding plates or burrs have been crafted from stainless steel, making them resistant to rusting or breaking during use. The top of the grinder has its own high capacity bean hopper; made from a crack-resistant molded plastic. Exterior components on the machine, such as the device's portafilter arm have been crafted from durable aluminum. At just 16.5" high, this machine was designed to scale with the average home kitchen and can easily fit underneath most kitchen cabinets.
Doserless Design
One of the most unique features is the doserless designer feature. Instead of coming with a traditional doser, this machine is designed with a unique dispensing chute. This chute is designed to deliver more control over the dosing size and to help make the extraction process easier and less messy. With the appliance, users are able to pre-set their dose amounts, or take advantage of the machine's continuous grind feature.The doserless component allows users to easily get single, or double shots with the press of a button.
Durable Bean Hopper
The top is outfitted with a compact bean hopper. When completely filled, this bean hopper can hold up to 10 ounces of beans. The size of the hopper makes this Compak machine ideal for both home and moderate commercial use. This storage component of this machine is designed with a low and wide design, to keep the overall height of the machine shorter. The actual hopper made of a durable molded plastic material, meaning it won't break or crack and is sealed tight to help lock in air and keep beans fresh while in storage. When not in use, it can be removed for simple cleaning.
58 MM Steel Grinding Burrs
Inside this powerful home espresso grinder are durable stainless steel grinding plates or burrs. These plates are 58 mm in size and are capable of operating at speeds of 1100 RPM (rotations per minute). These high quality grinding plates are flat, instead of the conical in shape that many grinding burrs are; making them simple to remove for cleaning. These burrs are designed to prevent friction and overheating issues.
Stepless Micrometrical Grind Adjustment Feature
This machine comes outfitted with a stepless micrometrical control feature that was created with precise user control in mind. This stepless control component makes it simple for users to manipulate the consistency of every grind extraction. This Compak grinder comes with its own stepless control component to replace incremental control systems that place more limitations on the grind consistency settings. With a stepless control component, it is easy to manipulate how coarse or fine the espresso grinds are that come from the machine. This means no matter what type of drink home baristas are looking to make they will have the complete control over the mechanism needed dial in their espresso brew or coffee drinks.
250 Watt Motor
Designed with performance in mind, the Compak K3 Touch Grinder comes outfitted with its own commercial grade motor. This 205 watt motor puts the machine' grinding plates into action and helps this machine deliver fast extraction speeds. A double shot can be ground in less than 10 seconds. The motor is specifically formulated with extra insulating properties. This means that the machine is resistant to overheating and will not cause heat damage issues to the more delicate pieces of the grinder.
This motor is also designed to put the grinding burrs into motion at a specific speed of 1100 RPM (rotations per minute). This speed is fast enough to grind the beans, yet slow enough to prevent issues with friction and heat transfer; a process that can disrupt the overall quality of the espresso beans during the grinding process.
Aluminum Portafilter Arm
On the from is a portafilter arm that will hold portafilters in place underneath the machine's doserless chute. This arm is made of metal to insure longevity, and is easy to clean and care for.
This commercial-grade espresso grinder may come with the features found in much larger grinding mechanisms, but this compact, budget-friendly product is ideal for the serious home barista looking for power and functionality.

A former Samoan Under-20 representative, fullback Peter Schuster was called into the Australian Sevens in 2013 following impressive performances in domestic Sevens tournaments while playing for Northern Suburbs.
Schuster caught the eye of Australian coach Michael O'Connor while playing for Northern Suburbs and was invited to train with the wider Australian Sevens squad.
Injury then opened the selection door was Schuster as he was brought into the Qantas Men's Sevens squad for the Tokyo Sevens as a late replacement.
Schuster is not the only Rugby representative in his family as his father, David Schuster, earned four caps for Samoa in the 1980s and his uncle, John Schuster, is a dual-code, dual-country international.
John Schuster earned 10 caps for the All Blacks between 1988-89 and three caps for Samoa in 1999. He also played rugby league with the Newcastle Knights and captained Samoa in the 1995 Rugby League Wold Cup.
Representative honours: Australia Academy Under-19 (2011), Samoa Under 20 (2011-2012)

GREENFIELD — Dreaming of soaking up some rays beside a pristine pool? How about taking a hike along a nature trail?
Greenfield city officials are not only looking forward to spring, but they're looking ahead to the next five years of improvements to the city's parks.
The Greenfield Parks and Recreation Department recently released a draft of its new five-year master plan, which details goals ranging from new water features for Riley Pool to expanded trails at several city parks.
While the updated plan has been several months in the making and has already generated public feedback, city officials are welcoming more comments before the parks board gives final approval next month.
Ellen Kuker, parks director, said the plan – the culmination of several months of compiling public surveys, interviewing community stakeholders and holding open meetings – is something to work toward in the near future.
"The product that we've been given is a workable, realistic master plan," Kuker said.
The plan lists each city park's strengths and weaknesses, giving ideas on how they can be improved.

HPLC-UV Analysis of Bupropion and Hydroxybupropion : Application to In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Drug-Drug Interaction Studies Between Bupropion and Potent CYP2B6 Inhibitors
Molnari, Jillissa C.
Moeller, Bryant M.
MetadataShow full item record
Bupropion is a popular antidepressant that is also prescribed in the management of smoking cessation. In humans, bupropion is predominantly metabolized to its active metabolite hydroxybupropion by CYP2B6. Inhibitors of CYP2B6 have the potential to decrease the clearance of bupropion, leading to adverse drug toxicity. We sought to develop a sensitive HPLC-UV assay to quantify plasma and brain concentrations of bupropion and hydroxybupropion; and apply the assay to assess in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies between bupropion and potent CYP2B6 inhibitors. Tissue extraction followed by HPLC-UV detected timolol (IS), hydroxybupropion and bupropion at 6, 11 and 36 minutes, respectively. The LOD for both compounds was 6.0 ng/ml, and the intra-day and inter-day coefficients of variation was ±12% in plasma and ±15% in whole brain tissue. We then utilized this novel technique to evaluate the PK of bupropion and hydroxybupropion following repeated administration of the known CYP2B6 inhibitor ticlopidine (5 mg/kg daily x 5 days) in CF-1 mice. Ticlopidine increased the plasma area under the concentration curve (AUC) of bupropion (2.0-fold,p< 0.01) and decreased the plasma AUC of hydroxybupropion (1.2-fold;p< 0.05). In whole brain tissue, ticlopidine increased the AUC of bupropion (1.3-fold;p> 0.05)and decreased the AUC of hydroxybupropion (2.0-fold;p< 0.001). In summary, we have developed a sensitive HPLC assay and suitable rodent model to evaluate in vivo PK DDI between bupropion and CYP2B6 inhibitors.

Easy access to the high-density regime without fatal disruptive phenomena is one of the important characteristics of the Large Helical Device (LHD). The operational density is considerably higher than the Greenwald density limit for tokamak plasmas. The density limit in LHD is reached when the edge density at the last closed flux surface exceeds a value approximately equivalent to the Sudo density limit that increases with the square root of the heating power. Extremely high central density of >1 × 1021 m-3 is achievable with a peaked density profile, as long as the edge density is kept lower than the Sudo limit. Furthermore, the central heating power must be larger than the radiation loss in the core region to avoid the "cold-core" phenomenon. As for the plasma edge, complete detachment takes place when the edge density exceeds the limit. Then, reattachment/Serpens mode/radiative collapse will follow, depending on the recycling condition.

Jodi Arias Found Guilty of First Degree Murder, Could Get Death Penalty
The jury tasked with reaching a verdict for Jodi Arias , who has been charged with murder, has made a decision. After four days of deliberations, the jury — consisting of eight men and four women — found the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree.
The group of jurors listened to four months of testimony and final arguments surrounding the stabbing death of 30-year-old Travis Alexander. The verdict was read today at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Arias, 32, was accused of killing ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander in the shower of his suburban Mesa, Arizona, home in June 2008. In the gruesome crime, Alexander was shot in the head and stabbed and slashed more than two dozen times. The crime was so violent that the victim was almost decapitated. Arias' palm print was found in blood at the scene, along with nude photos of her and the victim.
Arias, who has spent 18 days on the witness stand testifying in her defense, at first denied involvement in the crime, only to come forward two years later and say that she killed Alexander in self-defense. Prosecutor Juan Martinez made the case that Arias was a manipulative stalker, who planned the attack in a jealous rage.
Arias now faces the possibility of the death penalty. In the next phase of the case, prosecutors will present additional evidence and jurors will decide whether Alexander's death was caused in a cruel manner, which will determine Arias' sentencing.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 7 Spoiler Roundup: Ruby's Wolf Pack, David's Threat
Fans of Ruby/Little Red Riding Hood (Meghan Ory) on Once Upon a Time are in for a major treat this Sunday, when Season 2, Episode 7: "Child of the Moon" airs (November 11). We'll get a major glimpse into her history in Fairytale Land, meet two new characters directly tied to her, and watch as a man (or wolf?) hunt unfolds in present-day Storybrooke.
Here's a list of all the spoilers for the episode.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
Ruby's first full moon. According to the ABC episode synopsis, Ruby is frightened because the "first curse-free Storybrooke full moon" is upon them, and one of the residents is murdered. She will be the obvious suspect, and she honestly cannot remember if she did it or not.
Leroy's discovery. Also in the synopsis, we find out that "Leroy [Lee Arenberg] stumbles upon some treasure in the Storybrooke mine that could help bring Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) back into our world." Perhaps with The Blue Fairy's (Keegan Connor Tracy) help, Leroy will finally find some fairy dust?
King George threatens David. As we know, the awful King George (Alan Dale) is in Storybrooke, under the name "Decker." He will be threatening "to expose David [Josh Dallas] as a shepherd, not a prince, and not fit to run the town as sheriff." But will the town really follow George's lead, or are they on Charming's side? And who is he pointing that gun at?
Two new characters. We'll finally meet Anita (Annabeth Gish) and Quinn (Ben Hollingsworth), both wolves, who are leaders of a "mysterious" pack. Anita might wind up being Red's mother, even though Granny (Beverley Elliott) told her she had died in a human attack, and Quinn will get into a physical fight with Snow White, until Red tries to pull him off.
No signs of present-day Fairytale Land. None of the spoilers or sneak peeks indicate that we'll see more of Emma and Mary Margaret's progress to find the portal in present-day Fairytale Land. Hopefully, Leroy's discovery and Emma's plan will converge into the perfect moment in the next episode.
Read more OUAT spoilers here.
Catch the next new episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, November 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

While a student, he created a painting nine feet long, which he now recognizes as the genesis of Free Fall, his first book of his own authorship, for which he was awarded a Caldecott Honor Medal in 1989. David won his first Caldecott Medal in 1992 for Tuesday, and he has gone on to win twice more: in 2002 for The Three Pigs and in 2007 for Flotsam. He is only the second person in the award s history to win the Caldecott Medal three times. David and his wife, Kim Kahng, and their two children live near Philadelphia, where he devotes full time to illustration and she pursues her career as a surgeon.

"Kids will love its lighthearted, meticulously imagined, fun-without-a-moral fantasy. Tuesday is bound to take off." School Library Journal, Starred
"A surreal, almost wordless picture book shows the mysterious levitation of lily pads and frogs from a pond one Tuesday at dusk. The frogs soar around town until they fall to the ground at sunrise.
Large, detailed watercolors use dramatic points of view and lighting effects and often show a humorous range of expressions. There is a forecast of further surprises to come on following Tuesdays". -- Copyright © 1991 The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved. Horn Book, Fanfare

Never had a boyfriend, flipping out. Why?
All the guys who liked me weren't my type. All the guys that I liked weren't interested or didn't want to date. I'm pretty much doubting myself... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
As I tell others who are stressing out (which I think flipping out means) about not having a BF/GF yet, first step is to stop worrying about it. Like you, most of them are early 20s or even teens, and yet they feel it's all hopeless for you. The stressing out itself could be putting out all sorts of bad signals and only attract the guys you won't want to attract.
I'm sure you are a nice looking woman, statistics support that. Go out as you've been meet new people, make new friends, chill. When you have a great life without feeling you need a boyfriend, you put out better signals, more likely to attract the kind of guys you want.
@update well if they are your friends and telling you this perhaps they know they are below your standards and are encourage you to find the guy who is good enough for you.
Thanks, that could be it. Otherwise I don't understand it.
What Guys Said 4
Depends on which type of guy you're looking for. Most, if not all, guys are looking for something temporary at this age so don't go into it expecting to get married or be with the guy for a decade. You'll be letting yourself down. You should be confident and talk to guys you have interest in.
I just turned 20 and I never have had a girlfriend - I can't find a girl that I actually like :'( - Its like there is no one out there. I am still shy around girls so usually I keep to myself... I guess you should just wait till you find the right person, and don't stress out that you don't have a boyfriend yet.
Play it cool, play it safe.
Sooner or later everyone becomes married, only except those people who deliberately, fearfully avoid it.
And maybe it's a blessing in disguise - just today I've read a story about a girl who lost her virginity against her will and after then recklessly rushed in random relationships - she's a wreck now - only a shell of her former self.
Maybe it could be you.. in some alternate Universe or something, if you know what I mean..
What Girls Said 3
What do you mean by not your type?
I think this is were most girls go wrong. They're waiting around for the perfect guy who just doesn't exist because nobody's perfect. These guys who maybe you did like, and were your 'type' wouldn't have been perfect either.
I'm not saying you should go out with any old guy who asks you out - but having a boyfriend, or having had a boyfriend, is kind of an issue for you, clearly. My point is - maybe you should take a chance on one of these guys who are interested in you - even if they don't necessarily seem like your type off the bat.
For some people, getting a boyfriend doesn't just happen. I know it doesn't for me, I don't know how other girls do it. But then I'm not too bothered about it. I'm willing to wait until I find a guy I really want to be with rather than just finding a boyfriend.
Thanks, helpful advice and it's nice to have someone understand that sometimes things like getting a boyfriend don't happen automatically. By 'not my type', I meant that I wasn't interested in those guys because I wasn't attracted to them or they didn't seem trustworthy or friendly enough
- Show Older Hide Older
I've been on a few dates, with different guys. I've had guy friends too. One guy who I dated really liked me and enjoyed being with me, but I didn't feel attracted to him even after dating him for a few weeks.. he wasn't very spontaneous and was a bit too shallow for my liking.
I don't know - it's like I want to get further but somehow it's not working out for me.
Currently I like a guy, but he doesn't want to go out with me for whatever reason, I'm kind of sad about it.
Hmm yeah - it happens.
I mean I get you- I've dated guys; but I've never liked them enough to be in a relationship with. Or the ones I did, didn't return those feelings. I guess the key is just ... putting yourself out there. The more you try stuff out, meet new people, date around, the more natural it will come to you and less of a big deal.
This post is identical to my path in life. Except for the parts where you mention being thin and having a few friends.
So what advice are you asking for exactly? You want advice on how to get a boyfriend or what?
Yes, how can I find someone who suits me and wants to be my boyfriend. And I'd like to know why things aren't working out for me yet because I'm old enough to have had a bf
- Show Older Hide Older
Awwh, sweetie it's not your fault. It could just be really bad timing. Being 20 and never have had a boyfriend is better than being 20, having had a handful of relationships and being so damage/possessing a bitter, negative, jaded view on men and dating
Okay, thank you. Have things worked out for you yet or are you also still stuck in this phase of life with having bad luck with guys?
Have an opinion?

Noram Ventures – Graphite and Gold Exploration in B.C.
Noram Ventures (TSXV:NRM) is an exploration company utilizing a Project Generator business model with a mandate to: (1) create shareholder value through the discovery of mineral deposits; (2) focus exploration activity on highly prospective, under-explored opportunities in pro-mining jurisdictions; (3) maintain 100% control of projects during the high-value creation, discovery phase; and (4) seek and secure well-financed partners to accelerate resource definition and development.
The objective of the project generator model is to increase the odds of exploration success by having equity stakes in multiple projects, while limiting the need for equity financing and minimizing shareholder dilution.
Noram's current exploration focus is on two flake-graphite projects and a gold project, all located in the Central Kootenay Region of British Columbia where mining dates back to the 1860s.
Investment Highlights
- Excellent share structure with very low float – management owns ~60% of shares issued
- Projects that exhibit potential to host large mineralizing systems
- Projects all located in pro-mining region close to power, water, highway access, a skilled work force and community services
- Positioned to capitalize on the outlook for natural graphite – declared a critical raw material with global demand estimated to increase 45% in the next 5 years
- Also positioned to capitalize on the rubber band effect predicted in gold with some analysts seeing the start of an extreme rebound in the price of gold from its current oversold condition
Key Projects
Amazing Grace Gold Project
- Letter of Intent to acquire a 100% interest
- Located 12km southeast of Castlegar, BC
- Covers a large area of 4,918 hectares
- Region hosts over 30 gold deposits with past producer status in similar geological setting
- Widely-spaced gold occurrences and multiple mineralization types suggest potential for a large mineralizing system
- Field work and compilation study of all historical data in progress to assess how effective previous work was in testing targets, and to determine if other mineralized structures and horizons are worthy of continued or expanded exploration
To learn more about the Amazing Grace property and see maps and photos – click here
Jumbo Flake Graphite Gold Project
- Phase I drill results pending
- Option to acquire a 100% interest
- Located 15km southwest of Nakusp, BC
- Covers a large area of 10,539 hectares (>100 square miles)
- A sinuous conductive feature from a few hundred meters to 2km wide was defined by a SkyTEM EM survey in 2012
- Subsequent geological mapping and rock sampling suggests that this EM anomaly is outlining a tightly folded graphitic sedimentary horizon with a cumulative strike length of >35km
- Preliminary metallurgical testing of 10kg sample contained 3.81% (head grade) high-purity graphite with 45.5% of the graphite reporting to or above the large flake categories at an average grade of 96.0% carbon (LOI)
To learn more about the Jumbo property and see maps and photos – click here
Kokanee Flake Graphite Project
- Option to acquire a 100% interest
- Located 50km northeast of Nelson, BC
- Covers an area of 1,659 hectares
- Assay results from initial drill program confirmed significant graphite mineralization over true widths of 60 to 137m and established the down-dip depth to be 100 to 150m and the strike length of the graphite horizon to be 1,200m – with zone open north, south and down dip
- Area drilled shows potential of 15,000,000 to 22,500,000 tonnes grading 1.65 to 1.80% graphite, but exploration is still insufficient to determine a NI 43-101 resource estimate

Noram utilizes a Project Generator business model with the objective of increasing the odds of exploration success by having equity stakes in multiple projects, while limiting the need for equity financing and minimizing shareholder dilution. Its current exploration focus is the Jumbo and the Kokanee flake graphite projects, located in the Slocan Mining Division of southern British Columbia. Noram also recently signed a letter of intent to acquire 100% interest in the Amazing Grace gold property, which is located in the same regional area as the Company's other projects and represents an excellent, discovery-stage exploration opportunity in a diversified commodity.

AIR pollution may allow weeds to take over the world, say ecologists in the US and Canada. And this shift in vegetation could hinder the Earth's ability to moderate global warming, they warn.
Burning fossil fuel releases oxides of nitrogen, which ecologists believe could act as a fertiliser. They hoped that luxuriant plant growth would pull more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and put a brake on global warming. But a long-term study of nitrogen enrichment suggests otherwise.
In the 1980s, ecologist David Tilman of the University of Minnesota launched an ambitious project to study the effect of adding nitrogen to prairie grasslands. At a site in central Minnesota, Tilman set up 162 plots, each measuring 4 metres square. Some were dominated by native prairie grasses, others by a weedier mix of introduced species. He added extra nitrogen to some plots each summer and left other plots unfertilised. ...

analysisBy Olaolu Oladipo
Children of past political leaders are following the footprints of their fathers in every endeavour. In this piece, OLAOLU OLADIPO lists some of the personalities involved
Past political leaders who once ruled the country are now calling the shots through their children in virtually all the tiers of government. Their offspring are in different leadership positions hitherto occupied by their parents.
From Kwara, Kogi, Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), children of the well-to-do, as well as shakers and movers of the country's political, social and economic life, have taken over the mantle of leadership and setting the pace ahead of 2015.
The late Dr. Abubakar Olusola Saraki was popular for political sagacity and strategic maneuvering. Oloye, as he was fondly called, was synonymous with Kwara politics. He called the shots and dictated who became what for over four decades. Until the cold hands of death snatched him away at the age of 79, he was still an enigma whose political desires tallied with that of his state.
His son, the immediate past governor of the state, now a senator, Bukola Saraki, has been reportedly chosen by a broad section of the Kwara society to lead them. The younger Saraki shares so many things with his late father. He is also a qualified medical doctor who ventured into politics, as well as a proud holder of the distinguished title of Turaki Ilorin, a post his father held before being upgraded to a much higher title of the Waziri.
The situation is similar in the neighbouring Kogi State, where Chief Yomi Awoniyi, son of a former chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), the late Chief Sunday Awoniyi, is riding on his father's name to achieve political clout. Yomi, who is an architect, is the deputy governor of the state, and he is regarded as one of the political heavyweights who will decide the fate of the state ahead of 2015.
And to prove the weight of Yomi, Governor Wada Idris had, during the fifth memorial service of late Awoniyi on December 3, 2012, declared that the former ACF leader's selfless sacrifice stabilised the country's democracy.
Similar arrangement is also the norm at the third tier of government, as the current caretaker chairman of Ajaokuta Local Government Area, Mr. Alloysius Okino is the son of the foremost political bigwig in Kogi State, Hon. Ado Moses Okino. The latter was a former member of the House of Representatives from 2003 to 2007.
In Oyo, it is an unwritten rule that for any politician to be successful, he or she must be a member of a well respected political family in the state. Unknown to many people, the present governor of the state, Abiola Ajimobi, is from an established political family. His late father was a disciple of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the political god of the entire South-West region.
Though his cabinet is made up of children of prominent politicians, the most easily notable is Mr. Dapo Lam-Adesina, one of the sons of the late Lam Adesina, a former governor of the state who died recently. Dapo is currently the Commissioner for Youth and Sports.
In the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the situation is not different as strategic government positions are being occupied by children of political bigwigs. For instance, daughter of the Second Republic attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, Chief Richard Akinjide, a senior advocate of Nigeria, Chief Jumoke Akinjide, is currently the minister of state for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Prior to her appointment, she ran unsuccessfully to occupy a senatorial seat but lost to the ruling Action Congress of Nigeria's candidate.
Ms Akinjide and the daughter of another former governor of the state, Dr. Omololu Olunloyo, Ms. Kemi Omololu Olunloyo, were both members of the lower legislative chamber in the 6th Assembly of the current dispensation. The younger Olunloyo failed to retain her seat at the last election.
Osun State presents a very interesting scenario as the cabinet is composed of the children of who-is-who in the politics of the state. Son of the late governor of old Oyo State, Chief Bola Ige, a senior advocate of Nigeria, Muyiwa, is the Commissioner for Lands, Physical Planning and Urban Development while Ms. Mobolaji Akande, is the daughter of a former state governor and now national chairman of the ACN, Chief Bisi Akande. She is in charge of Human Resources and Capacity Building as the substantive commissioner.
Apart from the above two, children of the late eminent jurist and former justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Kayode Eso, Mrs. Funmilayo Eso-Williams, is also a special adviser in the cabinet of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
On the side of the PDP, a former state governor, Alhaji Isiaka Adeleke, is one of the children of late Senator Ayoola Adeleke, who was elected a member of the upper legislative chamber in the defunct Second Republic.
In Ogun, son of the Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, Dr. Oluokun, is currently the Commissioner for Health. His younger sister, Moremi, has been serving at the federal level, precisely at the presidency since the days of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Olumide, the son of yet another former governor of the state, Chief Olusegun Osoba, is currently a member of the Federal House of Representatives.
Also, the cabinet of Governor Ibikunle Amosun is dotted by the presence of personalities such as the son of a prominent traditional ruler and business mogul, Oba AdedapoTejuoso, Lanre, who is the commissioner in charge of Special Duties; as well as Architect Lekan Adegbite, son of the late secretary- general of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Dr. Lateef Adegbite.
Daughter of the late business mogul and acclaimed winner of the June 12 presidential election, Chief M.K.O. Abiola, Hafsat Abiola-Costello, is in charge of implementing the MDGs in the state in her capacity as a special adviser.
On the side of the PDP, Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, daughter of former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, served as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing Ogun Central district. This is just as the immediate past speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Dimeji Bankole is the son of a prominent politician, Chief Alani Bankole.
In Ondo State, a notable figure riding on the back of his father to fame is Mr. Deji Falae, who is now part of the cabinet of Governor Segun Mimiko. Deji is one of the sons of Chief Olu Falae, a former secretary to the government of the federation. The older Falae was the presidential candidate of the joint ticket of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and the All Peoples Party (APP), which later became the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in the 1999 presidential poll.
Ekiti State presents a different story as virtually all the political appointees and elected officials have strong pedigree. It must be stated that the first executive governor of the state, Otunba Niyi Adebayo is the son of Major-General Adeyinka Adebayo (retired), former military governor of the old Western Region.
The same situation exists in Lagos, where the state deputy governor, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope- Adefulire is the offspring of a notable politician, Baba Orelope, strongman of Alimoso politics. Babajide, the son of former Nigeria's ambassador to Ghana, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, is now putting himself for political reckoning with his declaration by the tribunal as the winner of Ikoyi Obalende LCDA during the recent local government election in the state.
Another politician to note is Hon Sultan Adeniji-Adele, who is a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly. He is from the popular Adeniji-Adele royal family from Lagos Island.
In Niger State, Umar Nasko, son of Gen. Gado Nasko, was Commissioner for Works in the first term of Governor Muazu Babangida Aliyu. He was allegedly taunted to be one of the politicians to step into the shoes of Aliyu as governor before they purportedly parted ways. Also, Col. Sani Bello's son, Abu Lolo, was a Commissioner of Commerce in the state. The son of General Inuwa Wushishi, Kabir, is the Commissioner of Tourism and Culture in Niger State.
Going by the above analysis, it is clear that, like their fathers, they have been inducted into the corridors of power. Long live Nigeria!

All those folks who contemptuously dismiss today's mainstream country and wish they could have been around for the heyday of Lefty Frizzell and Buck Owens are missing the boat. Right now, right in front of us, the Frizzell-like George Strait and Owensesque Dwight Yoakam are quietly assembling two of the great careers in country music history. Further evidence is now available in the form of Yoakam's second greatest-hits package (the first, Just Lookin' for a Hit, collected his 10 best singles from 1986-89). The new collection gathers 11 of his 13 Top 40 country hits from 1991-96 (strangely omitting "Nothing's Changed Here" and "Try Not to Look So Pretty") and adds three new songs. The new ones are good ones--Yoakam gives the ballad "Thinking About Leaving," cowritten with Rodney Crowell, a striking low-note guitar riff; he makes Waylon Jennings's "I'll Go Back to Her" even more traditional than it was; and he lends Queen's rockabilly romp, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," an authenticity it never had. Yoakam is living proof that it's still possible to combine commercial success and artistic achievement in country. --Geoffrey Himes

Riding through History - NV...A Land Lost in Time.
Here's a quick overview of our plan. Head to the Alvord Desert in OR, camp for two nights there then head south on the bikes for 3 days of exploring the remote regions of NV. Camp at Soldier Meadows and maybe head as far south as the Black Rock Desert. One of the top items on my list is to locate the crashed B24 Liberator that rests in the Pueblo Mountains above Denio NV, it's eluded me for three years (See my ride reports in my Sig line) so this may just be the year to find it!
I posted an open invitation on ADVRider for anyone that wanted to join in on the ride so I won't know who all is going until we get down to the Alvord Desert. Three of the riders have already had to cancel last minute so who knows how many will make the trip.
This ride report will be Pic Heavy! The pictures are a combination of Andy's and I pics.
Day 1:
We roll out early for the Alvord and arrive at 3pm on the "Dry" Alvord lake bed. Feels great to be back down here again!
The lake bed is full of water still so we search around a bit for a place to park Don's trailer. I look down and notice he has a flat! We had two flats down here last summer....I guess we'll get it out of the way early this time
We finally head back to the spot right above the hot springs since that's the only dry place to park the camper. One more day until we head south on the bikes to NV! Oh Yeah!!! The desert bike fleet.
My 530 ready to do battle with the desert....bring on Adventure!
James getting ready to head out on the "Fat Thing". It's a RV90 that he installed a 140cc LIfan into, he cruised all over on that bike.
I walked over to check out the hot springs...just as I remembered them. Can't wait to go for a soak tonight!
Josh from CA (Inmate Josh.orco) had arrived the previous day and was out exploring on the bike when we arrived. He rolled back into camp on his 640 and I noticed his rear tire was flat! He headed up the hill to his camp to install a new heavy duty tube in the rear tire.
Looking back at the Playa...I've never seen this much water in the desert...Crazy!
I headed back down to camp to get ready for a soak in the hot springs. A lightning storm had been going on out in the distance and it wasn't long before the lake bed was completely surrounded by a awesome thunder storm. Dust started blowing across the playa and lightning was striking all over the lakes surface. I managed to catch 4 strikes with my camera. Very Cool! After a long soak I headed to bed...ready for tomorrows adventure.
LOTS more to come...the main ride report starts on Day 3.

Day 2.
Miles on Bike: 4365
HRS on bike: 136.2
I woke up and headed down for a soak in the springs. Soon everyone was up and it was time to have some fun on the bikes. My friend Andy (Inmate Romppy) would be showing up today with his 530 so while we were waiting Don, Terry and I decided to play up in the hills a bit above the springs.
Picture of the canyon directly above camp
The end of the Playa is just starting to dry out. I doubt that it will fully dry out this year.
Don and I heading up the trail.
Up in the hills heading towards the first abandoned mine above camp.
Don slipped down into a wash
Andy arrived so we unloaded the bikes and decided to head down to Borax Hot Springs, then on to Fields for a world famous milk shake!
Borax Hot Springs
Josh arriving at the Springs. His tire is holding up great...but his rear brake keeps locking up and over heating, will have to look at that when we get back to camp.
Borax Lake. There used to be a Borax mining operation located here. It's a warm lake and the source boils up in the middle of the lake. The Borax Lake Chub is a small fish that can only be found in this lake, pretty amazing it can live in water with high Arsenic concentrations.
My dad checking the temp in one of the hot pools. You can swim in the lake and there is one pool cool enough to soak. It's located at the very end of the chain off pools.
A couple other shots of the pools, true Yellowstone quality.
After checking out the hot springs we headed to Fields to get a World Famous Milk Shake!
A ride report through Fields wouldn't be complete without a picture of the World Famous Milk Shake sign.
Andy and Josh enjoying their shake. Yummm....
After having shakes at Fields we headed back to camp to play in the hills a bit and prep for our bike adventure that starts in the am. Josh is going to look at his rear brake and see if he can get it functioning again.
Once back at camp Andy and I played around in the hills a bit above camp, we checked out the what was left of the miners cabin located directly below the first abandoned mine.
The first year I came up here the walls were intact and the cabin was in pretty nice cond...not sure what happened to it since then.
After checking out the cabin we rode up to the first mine. This shot was taken from the mine looking back down at the lake bed.
And another shot of the lake full of water.
There is a lot of water damage up in the hills. There used to be a wooden rail track running down the hill right where the wash out is located and the lower audit is completely covered now with tailing that have slid down the hill.
Here's a picture from a past trip to this mine showing the tracks
More pictures of this mine, cabin, mines and relics are located in my other ride report here: CLICK HERE
Andy and I headed back down to camp to soak and finish preparing for tomorrows ride. We stopped and talked to Josh on the way down to find out the status of his rear brake. It looks like the master cylinder is toast so he is going to head home in the am....leaving Andy and I to head out into NV on our own.
Bring on NV!
Lots more to come!

Day 3:
Miles on Bike: 4434
HRS on bike: 138.2
Andy and I woke up early and had the bikes loaded and ready to roll. Our plan was to locate the crashed B24 Liberator then head south to Soldier Meadows. We broke camp and headed to Denio for Fuel before starting the ride into the Pueblo Mountains.
After a stretch of slab run we arrived at Denio Junction.
No ride report through Denio would be complete without a picture of God's Ride.
We left Denio Junction and headed out to find the Bomber...I wasn't exactly sure how to locate it and we soon found ourselves at Bog Hot Springs. We stopped to check out the Hot Springs. Bog is really cool, it's more like a hot river than a springs. I will be back here some day to camp and ride.
After lots of looking at the GPS and talking to a local that passed in a car we headed out again in search of the B24. Here we started climbing up into the mountains, you can see Denio Junction off in the distance.
We stopped on the way to check out an abandoned mine, I headed up to see how far in the audit went.
Not exactly sure what they were mining here but the tailing had some sort of mineral in them. The audit only went in about 15 feet so I imagine whatever they were after wasn't to abundant.
Looking back at the bikes from the mine, lots of wide open country down here.
We left the mine and started working our way further up into the mountains.
Andy blasting through a grass meadow
Stopped for a picture in the meadow.
Getting closer!
And there it is!
"On February 9, 1945 at approximately 10 PM a B-24 "Liberator" bomber crashed into a rocky ledge in the Pueblo Mountains in southeastern Oregon. The plane was on a "round robin" navigation training mission from Gowen Field near Boise, Idaho to Hamilton Field in California.
An eyewitness in Denio recalled seeing the plane fly over Pueblo Mountain on its return from California and, for some unknown reason, turn sharply to the left, narrowly missing the summit as it crossed back over to the southwest. This maneuver cost the plane 2500 feet in altitude and a few seconds later it crashed into the west-side of the mountain at the 7500-foot level. All 11 men on board were killed. The cause of the crash was never determined." Taken from the BLM Website
If you would like to learn more about this crash Oregon Field Guide did a story on it a while back, you can watch it here: CLICK HERE
The wreck is scattered over a football size area on the slope.
Andy and I took a lot of pictures at the crash site...so I'll post a lot of pics here.

There were several wild flows growing at the crash site...it's amazing to see this much green this late in the season up here.
Another shot of the bikes in the meadow
One last shot of the wreck site before we head out for Soldier Meadows.
**On a side note I talked to a guy in Sumpter Oregon a few years ago that said he came up here and hauled off several parts of the bomber..including the remains of the ball turret to send back east to his sister. PLEASE don't remove anything from this site! If everyone that came up here did that there wouldn't be anything left for future people to explore. Watching the video link above I can spot the turret and several other items that were in the video and have since been hauled away...forever lost.
After we left the bomber my stomach wasn't feeling to good and I just wanted to rest in the shade for a bit so we decided to head back to Denio Junction, get fuel, rest, then head on to Soldier Meadows. I rested at Denio for about a hr then we hit the road again.
Andy cruising down the main road to Soldier Meadows
Some cool eroded rock formations on the way to Soldier Meadows.
Andy captured me cruising down the highway
We finally arrived at Soldier Meadows. This place is full of History and owned by Jim and Kathy, the nicest people you'll ever meet! There is an original army fort on their ranch that dates back to the mid 1800's. For the history of the Soldier Meadows ranch CLICK HERE.
Soldier Meadows is an oasis in the middle of the desert. They welcome outsiders to camp at their ranch, use their hot springs and you can even have home cooked meals and showers! Kathy will make sure you are comfortable during your stay. I will be back here again! They are the best!!
We set up camp and cooked our dinner in the shade.
I charged up my phone and gopro while I was here :-)
Here's a picture of the original army fort that's still standing.
After we ate diner Kathy asked if we would like some home make ice cream...we couldn't turn that down! We ate desert and headed back to the tents. I was going to head down and soak in one of their two natural hot springs that they have on the ranch but fell asleep laying in my tent before I had a chance, Oh well, the extra sleep felt great!
Andy caught some dear playing in camp after I fell asleep.
Lots more adventure to come!

The photos are freakin' awesome! I like RR's with lots of pics. I would so like to come ride this area some time.
I read very similar ride report from another inmate and that fueled my desire to come ride out here. You just added to that fire. Great job.
I'll be heading to Colorado Sept 2nd for some R & R, (ridin' n well....ridin'). Hope I can do as good a job as you did on the report.

This day will be picture heavy!
Woke up early at Soldier Meadows after a great nights sleep. We decided to eat breakfast at the ranch this morning, they served french toast, bacon, eggs and toast....it was a great meal! We each took 2 gallons of fuel before heading back out on the trail.
Doesn't get any more accurate than this...a gallon cider jug. You get your fuel one gallon at a time. Here Andy is getting ready to top off.
I forgot his name but this is one of the hired hands at the ranch, he's a glass blower and pilot as well. He's getting ready to head to Burning Man to help set up the runway on the Black Rock Desert.
And my bike taking fuel
We weren't sure if we would make it back to Soldier Meadows tonight so we loaded all our camping gear back onto the bikes and headed for Fly Canyon.
This is a historical marker on the road to Fly Canyon, Soldier Meadows was originally called Mud Meadows by people heading out west on the Applegate Trail.
Since I was running the GPS I was usually in the lead. When we would get to a cattle gate I'd open it up and ride through, Andy would close it after he came through. We did this routine numerous times out on the trail. Here Andy is closing one of the many gates we passed through.
The entrance to Fly Canyon. Here's another historical marker, notice the spelling.
We soon came to an abandoned ranch so we stopped to check it out. Here's a panoramic shot of the ranch.
A couple of buildings still standing
Andy checking out the inside of the buildings, lots of messages written on the walls from previous passers by.
Inside the main house
I thought these shingles where interesting that were covering the side of the house, made to look like brick. :-)
Bikes parked at the ranch, getting ready to head into High Rock Canyon.
Jack rabbits were everywhere down here
Looking out at the entrance to High Rock Canyon from the ranch
High Rock Canyon is a beautiful place. Wagon trains would pass through this canyon on their trip out west.
More historical information on High Rock Canyon can be found here: CLICK HERE
Looking back at the entrance to High Rock Canyon.
And here comes Andy
One of our first stops in the canyon was Mail Cave. Settlers on the wagon trains would leave mail in this cave for family members or friends that were coming behind. It's hard to imagine what it would have been like to travel through this country with horse and wagon.
Here my 530 sits in front of Mail Cave.
And a couple minutes later Andy arrives.
Mail Cave
Historical Graffiti on the bluff next to Mail Cave, 1852!
During breakfast this morning Jim had told us that there are two caves in High Rock Canyon but most people only find Mail Cave. He said there was another cave a couple hundred yards away from Mail Cave hidden behind a rock that had more writing inside from the settlers. After checking out Mail Cave I set out to find the second cave, here I'm hiking along the bluffs.
See the second cave?
Here I'm standing at the entrance to the cave. If Jim hadn't told us about the cave we would have passed right by it.
It's a small cave and there are two entrances, a small gap at the top and a large hole down lower. Here Andy is standing by the upper entrance.
And here's Andy inside the cave, taken from the lower entrance
More writing inside the cave. The BLM says this writing was written in wagon grease, since it's out of the weather it's survived intact.
There was more writing in the cave by the entrance but it was no longer legible.
Here's a shot of me looking up from the cave.
After checking out the caves we continued up the canyon. Beautiful scenery at every turn.
Here Andy is getting ready to cross a creek
Hit it a tad fast LOL. Oh well, it's hot out side and the water feels great.
After leaving High Rock Canyon we cut through Yellow Rock Canyon. Here we stopped to check out a small cabin.
Parked at the cabin with the High Rock Canyon in the background.
Lot's of yellow rock.
Once through Yellow Rock Canyon the roads smoothed out a bit and we made some time.
The Ruby Pipeline. They are just finishing the installation of a 42" Natural Gas Pipeline that will supply the CA market. We crossed the pipelines path several times throughout our trip. They are at the point now where they will be doing remediation work.
Andy and I looked at the maps and decided to head to Cederville CA next for fuel and food...off we go!
CA off in the distance.
The road passed by another "Dry" lake bed. The water smelled terrible!
We found a nice little bakery in Cederville that served lunch. Since we had cell service and full 3G we decided to make calls home and catch up on emails as well.
Andy catching up on his phone calls. The food here was great and the portions were HUGE! I should have taken a picture of our plates when they brought them out.
After lunch we filled the bikes with fuel and topped off the hydration packs with water. We decided to try and make it back to Soldier Meadows tonight to camp, the thought of grass and shade to pitch the tent in sounded pretty good!
Back out on 8A heading to NV. I noticed this rock that someone had painted a shark face on...pretty cool!
8A is pretty much a boring long gravel road so since we still had time we decided to head out in search of something more off the beaten path.
This road should do nicely!
Cabin off in the distance.
Closeup of the cabin. We were going to check it out but it didn't look to abandoned.
Andy taking a picture of the cabin
This road was great, parts of it looked like it hadn't had traffic for years. It was rough, dusty and rocky....Perfect!
The views are incredible out here!
After a while we came upon the remains of another cabin.
We rode up to have a closer look, not much left of this one.
Bikes parked at the cabin
After leaving the cabin we came around a corner to find a huge group of wild horses. I wish I had the helmet cam running as one group starting running right beside us for a bit.
Crossing the pipleline again
Coming down a silt road, almost back to Soldier Meadows
Home sweet home at Soldier Meadows. We cooked dinner out of our back packs tonight and rested in the shade.
Jim and Kathy came over to chat a while.
Awesome day on the trail today!
Lots more to come!

Day 5
Miles: 4805
Hrs: 147.7
We woke up early and cooked some instant oat meal for breakfast. We each purchased 1 gallon of fuel just to make sure we had enough, we'll be working our way to Denio again today then back to the Alvord to meet back up with family that's still camped there.
We said goodby to Jim and Kathy and headed east out of Soldier Meadows to play in the mountains a bit. The scenery up there is incredible!
It's amazing how green everything is.
Andy heading down a rocky slope...I really should have stopped and snapped a few pictures of the rocky sections, there are some rough trails out there!
More incredible scenery.
Andy playing with a cattle gaurd
I could spend weeks up here riding around and soaking in the view.
Andy bombing down the trail
Some cool rocks in the distance
Another Cabin along the trail. This one had No Trespassing signs all around so we settled for pictures from the trail
We finally worked our way up to the abandoned dozer. No passage through this area would be complete without a stop here. Not sure why this dozer got left at 7000 ft in the middle of know where or what they were trying to do with it up here. There is a couple small ditches that they were building but I'm not sure why. My guess is it broke down and wasn't worth trying to retrieve so they just abandoned it where it sat.
Andy soaking in the view, it's incredible from this peak!
Still a little snow up on top
Me in my desert sun hat taking pictures of the bikes in the distance
Home brew repair to the main pins holding the lift pivot in place. Guess they wern't worried about having to remove it for service any more LOL.
I've never heard of this brand of Dozer before
Andy getting some stick time
This dozer has a different way of tilting the bucket that seems overly complicated and would require a high amount of maint. Not sure why they didn't just pivot the hydraulic ram off the main lifting arm and attach the other end of the ram directly to the bucket like most equipment...maybe this arrangement was stronger?
While were were at the dozer we sat down and ate lunch. Nothing like tuna and banana chips for lunch!
We left the dozer and headed back down to Denio.
Back to Denio Junction one last time for Fuel and a Burger.
Back to the Alvord again. It was a great trip! No wrecks and the tool pack never had to come out of the bag.
I can't say enough good about the giant loop luggage that we both used on the trip. I've used Giant Loop luggage for several long off road trips now and it's worked flawlessly every time. If you want to be able to ride like you don't have the luggage with you the Giant Loop is the only option.
Can't wait for the next trip!

Nice report!
It looks like the tractor is an International TD9 and the dozer/bucket attachment is made by Bucyrus. Was that plate on the tractor or the dozer/bucket attachment?
I googled Bucyrus Erie and saw where Caterpillar just bought them out for $8.8 billion.

Excellent All The Way Around!
Hey that was a great ride indeed...I of course kept looking to see if my skills on my '07GSA could have taken the routes you did...certainly gave me pause to reflect, since I ride solo, that having two out "beyond the rim" is not just security but a way to get through..
Since I posted on another thread about an upcoming trip in the Alvord/Steen area [9-10 to 9-16 for me] hearing that the dry lake was anything but dry entirely alters my plans...I had hoped to go out East past Mickey Hot Springs to J. Valley and on to Silver City..but having never been out there, the last thing I need is my behemoth axle deep in mud.
Your photography was also first rate...very good eye.

You should be able to take a GSA on a lot of the trails/roads that we went although your speed will be real slow (LOTS of huge rocks). I didn't take any photographs of the worst sections of trail, some were solid boulders!
There is still a lot of ground that can be ridden down that way, the roads around the lake are dry it's just the lake bed itself that has water.
Have a great trip, beautiful country down that way.

text: I'm going crazy with all these books (thank you Morbid for letting me get my freak on with the Lit sections)....and loving it! Since this area is Crime in Literature. Let's focus on a "famous" criminal each week. Someone so famous, they've got their own book. When I thought of this idea and then went on my journey of discovery, I found too many sick fucks. I read about crimes that I don't remember ever hearing of, and things that disturbed the shit out of me. Since the Dreamin'Demon is a Crime News Blog, what better subject to look into, heh? Killers who have committed heinous crimes and the authors who have written about them. Feel free to feature your own "famous criminal".Turn us all on to a new book; another adventure. Maybe one day some lucky bastard from the Demon Pages will become "famous" for their flagitious behavior and a book shall be written about them. (hopes the Imp reads this and gets the hint...she's such a good writer)

Mali's government says the July 28 presidential election will go ahead as planned despite concerns about logistical problems.
Moussa Coulibaly, Mali's Minister of Territorial Administration, said Tuesday that there was never any question regarding the date of the poll.
"There has never been any doubt about the elections," he said. "We are ready. All is in order. We are going to hold elections on the 28th."
Coulibaly said his department, and not Mali's election commission, had final say over the poll.
The election will be the first since last year's coup that allowed al-Qaida-linked groups to seize control of the north. The Islamists were later ousted by a French-led military offensive.
Last month, the head of the election commission raised doubt as to whether the vote would take place, saying the distribution and production of voter cards was behind schedule.
Many have also raised concerns over security for campaigning and voting in the north, as well how the hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the conflict will cast ballots.
Fifteen candidates are running for president, with campaigning set to begin July 7. There is no clear frontrunner, and local pollsters are already predicting a run-off. The top three candidates all held high-level posts in one or both of the two previous governments.
Security in the north will be largely handled by a U.N. peacekeeping force that took over from an African-led mission on Monday.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.

Kuroshio Sea
This video footage is by Jon Rawlinson and has been uploaded on vimeo, YouTube and some other networks.
Sea Aquariums in Japan are very popular. They can be a peaceful place to go and watch the beauty of the sea, when at times in the city you can feel a long way from nature surroundings.
The location filmed in this video is Okinawa at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
The main tank called the 'Kuroshio Sea' holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.
Jon Rawlinson
The fantastic music choice "Please don't go" used in the video is from a group called Barcelona
You can buy this single on ITunes
You can also buy the complete album "Absolutes" by Barcelona on iTunes

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Personally, I'd wait another few weeks: not *all* of the comments were
bad (only about 70-75% - though I realize the good ones could've been
fake...), and of the awful ones, most of them did receive their
products (though an alarming number did not). You still have a
reasonable chance of receiving your book, with poor-quality service;
so I'd wait a bit: if you get your book, it's probably not worth
bothering about. If you don't, then I would definitely think in terms
of legal action. Heck, with that many complaints, you could maybe
think about a class-action lawsuit...
