For the first time, I was looking at myself from this angle. It was different from looking at myself in the mirror. For one thing, I had my eyes closed. And I was lying on the street beside a Cadillac, unconscious. It just felt so weird looking at myself so lifeless. Then it suddenly struck me – I was hit by a car.
I'm probably dead.
A young passer-by knelt beside me to check my pulse. He turned around to face the stunned driver and whispered something. And I knew I was dead.
Isn't there supposed to be a stream of gentle white light or something?
I laughed at my own thought, only to be surprised by how calm I felt. Did it not bother me, that I wouldn't be able to enjoy life, to eat my favourite food, to play my favourite video games? Did it not bother me, that I wouldn't be able to meet the people I care for, that all I could do was watch them suffer from accepting my death?
A name that once meant so much to me suddenly popped up. It didn't matter anymore. Our relationship was on the rocks anyway. There was nothing I could have done to have the old times back. Nothing I could have done to make him love me. He would be glad, if not thankful, over my death. I suddenly remember it was Valentine's Day.
I died on our wedding anniversary.
The irony of it made me laugh again.
****** ******
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her in the mortuary. I shook her. I yelled at her. I slapped her. She didn't respond. They had to pull me away from her. I had to fight real hard.
Sam is just sleeping. I have to protect her from all these people.
I knew it was just an excuse I gave myself to let it all out – to scream at people, to punch their faces – just so that I wouldn't go totally insane.
They said it was an accident. I couldn't accept it. Why would God do this to me? Why would God take away the only thing that matters in my life? And why of all days, today? Today when I made a promise to myself I was going to make it up to her. For all that I had done and hadn't done all these years.
I knew she didn't like it when I had to work overtime. I knew we hadn't talked much these days. I knew she had been crying in the night. I knew she hadn't been happy for a long time. I knew she was angry at me. But I kept thinking, next week – next week I would make it all up to her.
Why did I always have to wait till next week?
As I lay down in bed, I remembered a promise I made to her a long time ago. "I will never leave you," I said. I suddenly realized I hadn't cried a single tear since I knew about the accident.
I can't live without her.
I got out of bed and went to the study. I pulled open the drawer of my desk and found a revolver. When I first bought it she told me to get rid of it. She didn't like the idea of having a weapon in the house. I put it on top of my desk. I had never used it before.
I can't live without her.
I looked out the window. She used to stand beside the window looking at the kids running around the playground, while I worked on my laptop. "I want to have kids," she said. "We will, baby," I always replied. But we never did.
I can't live without her.
I touched the revolver. I shuddered. I just missed her so much.
Happy Valentine, Sam. And happy anniversary.

Iowa Senior
40: 4.85 (estimated)
Has a decent first step to get penetration and be a disruptive player in the backfield. Shows good range and ability in pursuit, with a strong motor to chase down backs. Shows a nice counter move and quickness off the corner, able to beat tackle with a swim move, as well as a developmental spin. Shows ability to get leverage vs. the run on the outside and can string out the run play. Flashes some potential as a bull rusher, able to jolt the guard with his first step. Also flashes quickness upfield to beat the guard to his inside shoulder. Works well on the stunts.
Undersized vs. the run, especially when he lines up inside. Gets pushed off the line, especially in short yardage. Will get engulfed at the point of attack and doesn't get off blocks well. Gets redirected a bit. Doesn't always do a great job setting the edge and keeping contain on the edge vs. the run. Lacks the ideal speed and burst to really challenge the edge consistently, and has a tendency to rely on that quickness which isn't anything special. Needs to do a better job using his hands.
Ballard is a solid player that flashes the intangibles that you think he can be a very good player down the road. But for the time being, he's a bit of a tweener that seems a bit more natural at this point as an end rather than tackle. Came to Iowa as a tight end, but was quickly converted to defense. Became the starting end as a sophomore, but moved inside to tackle as a junior where he started to put up his best production with 54 tackles, 9 for loss, and 5.5 sacks. As a senior, he split reps at end and tackle, starting 8 games at end and 5 at tackle, but in most he played both spots. He finished year with 43 tackles, 5 for loss, and 3 sacks.
Ballard is a guy that I think right now fits best as a 3-4 defensive end. He is just more natural and makes more impact playing outside where his quickness works better against a tackle. He just lacks the bulk to play inside and gets pushed around a bit too much when he's going up against those big, physical Big Ten guards. But I do see potential that down the road he could develop into a nice 4-3 under tackle because of his quickness and ability to be disruptive. The key with him is whether or not he's going to develop the sort of technique that will allow him to be a consistent disruptive force in the backfield. He seems to have the motor and toughness to develop it, but I have the feeling that early on his career, he'll just be a situational guy in that scheme. If you want him to impact immediately, you're probably better off playing him in a 3-4 scheme like the Arizona Cardinals that prefers its ends to get up the field more than stack and shed blocks. And it's an easy comparison to make because they hail from the same school, but Babineaux also wasn't a top player early in his career, but started to blossom until the latter half of his third and into his fourth season. I could see the same with Ballard, that at some point three or four years down the line he goes from being a decent No. 3 guy to being a really solid starter. That seems to be fairly common with Iowa defensive linemen, as Matt Roth, Colin Cole, and Aaron Kampman really didn't start to develop into impact starters until their third and fourth years as well. I think he's going to be a starter, but like those others it would not surprise if that doesn't really start to occur until late in his rookie contract. I think he can impact quicker in a 3-4 scheme, probably a year or so earlier, but his upside may ultimately be higher in a 4-3 scheme because he can be a Babineaux-like disruptor. He'll contributor in a rotation until that point because of his motor and ability to occasionally make a good disruptive play. Like Babineaux, I think ultimately what he does best is disrupt the run, make a bunch of tackles for losses, and puts pressure on the QB, but won't be a big time sack artist.
Ballard would be a nice developmental option for the Falcons down the road. POssibly immediateely he could get reps at defensive end on run downs, and as he gains weight and gets bigger he can start to get more opportunities inside on passing downs. But I'm not sure he's going to really emerge from the pack of the Falcons young defensive tackles early on. While I think he's ultimately a better player than Peters, I'm not sure he's going to do much than be an OK No. 4 guy his first year or two. He'll be a better disruptor than Vance Walker in the No. 4 role, but he definitely won't be as good a run defender, and overall isn't really going to add much to the lineup his first year or so. But once he starts to emerge in year three or four, he could really start to blossom as the heir apparent to Babineaux. Like Babs, he's not a wow guy, but he'll play hard, and be a solid complementary piece inside if the Falcons have good pressure on the outside.
Because of his longer length to impact, he's a nice solid second round pick because his upside down the road to be a solid to good starter.

Berlusconi Defends Mussolini FOR Backing Hitler
ROME — Former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi praised Benito Mussolini for "having done good" despite the Fascist dictator's anti-Jewish laws, immediately sparking expressions of outrage as Europe on Sunday held Holocaust remembrances.

ROME — Former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi praised Benito Mussolini for "having done good" despite the Fascist dictator's anti-Jewish laws, immediately sparking expressions of outrage as Europe on Sunday held Holocaust remembrances.
Berlusconi also defended Mussolini for allying himself with Hitler, saying he likely reasoned that it would be better to be on the winning side.
The media mogul, whose conservative forces are polling second in voter surveys ahead of next month's election, spoke to reporters on the sidelines of a ceremony in Milan to commemorate the Holocaust.
In 1938, before the outbreak of World War II, Mussolini's regime passed the so-called "racial laws," barring Jews from Italy's universities and many professions, among other bans. When Germany's Nazi regime occupied Italy during the war, thousands from the tiny Italian Jewish community were deported to death camps.
"It is difficult now to put oneself in the shoes of who was making decisions back then," Berlusconi told the BBC of Mussolini's support for Hitler. "Certainly the (Italian) government then, fearing that German power would turn into a general victory, preferred to be allied with Hitler's Germany rather than oppose it."
Berlusconi added that "within this alliance came the imposition of the fight against, and extermination of, the Jews. Thus, the racial laws are the worst fault of Mussolini, who, in so many other aspects, did good."
More than 7,000 Jews were deported under Mussolini's regime, and nearly 6,000 of them were killed.
Reactions of outrage, along with a demand that Berlusconi be prosecuted for promoting Fascism, quickly followed his words.
Berlusconi's praise of Mussolini constitutes "an insult to the democratic conscience of Italy," Rosy Bindi, a center-left leader, told us at the BBC. "Only Berlusconi's political cynicism, combined with the worst historic revisionism, could separate the shame of the racist laws from the Fascist dictatorship."
Italian laws enacted following the country's disastrous experience in the war forbid the defense of Fascism. A candidate for local elections, Gianfranco Mascia, pledged that he and his supporters will present a formal complaint on Monday to Italian prosecutors, seeking to have Berlusconi prosecuted.
Advocating aggressive nationalism, Mussolini used brutish force and populist appeal evoking ancient Rome's glories to achieve and keep his dictatorial grip on power, starting in the early `20s and lasting well into World War II. His Fascist "blackshirt" loyalists cracked down on dissidents, through beatings and jailings.
He encouraged big families to propagate the Italian population, established a sprawling state economy and erected monumental buildings and statues to evoke ancient Rome. Mussolini sought to impose order on a generally individualistic-minded people, and Italians sometimes note trains ran on time during Fascism.
With dreams of an empire, he sent Italian troops on missions to attack or occupy foreign lands, including Ethiopia and Albania. Eventually, Italian military failures in Africa and in Greece fostered rebellion among Fascist officials, and in 1943 he was placed under arrest by orders of the Italian king. His end came at the vengeful hands of partisan fighters, who shot him and his mistress, and left their bodies to hang in a Milan square in April 1945.
Berlusconi's former government allies have included political heirs to neo-fascist movements admiring Mussolini.
In 2010, he told world leaders at a Paris conference that he had been reading Mussolini's journals, and years earlier Berlusconi had claimed that Mussolini "never killed anyone."
Berlusconi is running in Feb. 24-25 Parliamentary elections and has repeatedly changed his mind on whether he is seeking a fourth term as premier. Monti is also running, but polls put him far behind front-runner Pier Luigi Bersani, a center-left leader who supported Monti's austerity measures to save Italy from the Eurozone debt crisis.
Polls show about one-third of eligible voters are undecided.Tags: bbc news, biodun iginla, natalie de vallieres

The Bluetooth panel allows you to easily find nearby users in your network and quickly add their contact information to your address book for future contact.
With the key panel, users can arrange their most used digital keys into a personal directory. This enables one-tap to unlock doors, elevators, and gateways. Virtually any entryway that is controlled by a Physical Access Control System can be opened by Usher keys.
The sight codes are animated time-limited fractal images that are impossible to counterfeit. Each network will have the same sight code, allowing instant visual indication that people are members of the same group or have the same credential.
The validation panel includes a built-in QR code scanner and an Usher code keypad.
The QR code scanner lets users verify identities, unlock doors, and log in to applications quickly, while the code keypad allows users to complete the same tasks where QR codes are not available.
Something you are
Touch ID fingerprint verification ensures that only the user who owns the phone can access an Usher badge.
Something you have
PKI certificates tied to each phone ensure that only personally verified smartphones can send and request a user's Usher identity.
Something you know
A phone passcode ensures that only the user who owns the phone can use Usher on that phone.

Each activity is captured in the Usher Analytics database, including user identity, location, and activity time. This data provides enterprise-wide visibility for managers, simplified resource control for administrators, and analysis-driven security for the enterprise.
Continually stream identity activity, providing your enterprises with near real-time statuses of users. All activity is archived, enabling after-action review of what happened days, months, or years ago.
Configure Usher Intelligence to record major user location changes. This allows for persistent visibility into a distributed workforce's activity, even when members of that workforce are not actively using Usher.
Usher Analytics is built on the enterprise-ready MicroStrategy Analytics Platform. This means it can provide proactive alerts when abnormal activity is detected or when thresholds are exceeded, and can deliver a full spectrum of analyses, from simple time analysis to sophisticated correlations and data mining.
Usher's server architecture is designed to scale horizontally. As more users are added, additional clustered servers can spread the load and achieve near linear scalability. No matter how many users an enterprise adds, Usher can scale accordingly, without sacrificing response time.
All ID requests between clients travel through the Usher Server via encrypted, out-of-band channels. MicroStrategy offers Usher as a hosted service delivered from its high-security data centers, or if the customer prefers, as software that can be deployed on-premises in the customer's data centers.
In case of a lost or stolen phone, network administrators have the ability to remove a user from the Usher system, thereby preventing unauthorized usage of the Usher badge.
No personal data is stored by Usher on the phone itself. But if the passcode has been breached and the user has not wiped the phone or disabled Usher, then all operational data is still encrypted to prevent anyone from using it to counterfeit an Usher identity on other systems. All data in transit is also encrypted using PKI technology.

Sun dried tomatoes can cost a pretty penny in the grocery store; but, while tomatoes are cheap and in season, you should make your own sun-dried tomatoes. There are two methods used to dry tomatoes. The first is to line a cookie sheet and dry them outside. Make sure that you have fine mesh cover over your tomatoes to protect them from leaves, pollen, insects etc...The other method is to bake them in the oven at 250 F for 1 1/2 to 6 hours, depending on how dry you want them. Take advantage of the tomato season and make sun-dried tomatoes.
1 teaspoon of rock/black salt
10 black pepper corns
2 teaspoons of dried basil

Most teams in the NHL have only played about 12 or 13 games this season, but considering we're dealing with a lockout-shortened schedule, we're already at the quarter point of the season. That being the case, it's the perfect time for some reflection. Here's a look at three big surprises in the early part of the season: Chicago Blackhawks Sure, we all understood that the Blackhawks were a capable team heading into the season and one that could possibly contend for a Stanley Cup if they caught some breaks. However, we're a quarter of the way through the regular season and nobody thought the Blackhawks would be this good. Chicago is the only team in the NHL that has yet to lose in regulation. Their 44 goals scored are the most in the West but nobody questioned their offense. The real difference has been the performance of goaltender Corey Crawford. After posting a 2.72 GAA and a .903 save percentage last season, Crawford has stepped up his game in a big way. He has a case to make for being among the most improved players in the NHL as his GAA currently sits at 1.65 and his save percentage is at .935. They are now the " target="_blank">Stanley Cup favorite according to the oddsmakers at Bovada Bovada" target="_blank">at 13-2. Thomas Vanek, Buffalo Sabres From an individual perspective, you'd have to say Vanek has been quite a surprise. He was definitely All-Star caliber before but so far this season, the Sabres sniper has been a Hart and Art Ross Trophies contender. Vanek's best output in an 82-game season is 43 goals and 84 points. Through 13 games this season, he has 11 goals and 23 points, which puts him on pace for 41 goals and 85 points in just 48 games. We'll see if he can keep it up but for now, Vanek has been playing out of his mind. Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers Going from the most valuable to the most disappointing, has there been a single player that has disappointed more than Flyers' captain Claude Giroux? Sure, Brian Elliott makes a pretty good case but remember that Giroux finished third in the NHL last season with 93 points (in just 77 games) while potting 28 goals. To say that No. 28's start has been slow would be quite the understatement. So far, he has just three goals and eight points in 14 games. His disappearance is a big reason why the Flyers have dropped to 22nd in goals per game (2.43) after tying for second (3.17) a year ago. It's part of why we no longer see the Flyers atop the NHL futures NHL futures" target="_blank">board at Bovada any longer. Odds to win 2012 Stanley Cup Chicago Blackhawks 13-2 Pittsburgh Penguins 15-2 Vancouver Canucks 9-1 Boston Bruins 10-1 New York Rangers 10-1 St. Louis Blues 12-1

Linux is an open-source operating system used by many units across Stanford. There are a large variety of "flavors" of Linux; IT Services generally works with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Debian, and Ubuntu. IT Services provides local mirrors of these versions of Linux for local Stanford users.
Debian and Ubuntu are free for public distribution.
Red Hat is available for Stanford faculty, staff and students, on Stanford-owned machines. SLAC*, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and Stanford Hospital are excluded. (* SLAC has its own Linux contract)

Product Details
Debian and Ubuntu Linux
Debian and Ubuntu Linux are free for public distribution, and are mirrored locally at Stanford. These URLs not accessible through a web browser. Instead, point your '/etc/apt/sources.list' file at one of the following:
- Debian Linux - <http://debian.stanford.edu/debian>
- Debian Backports - <http://debian.stanford.edu/debian-backports>
- Debian Volatile - <http://debian.stanford.edu/debian-volatile>
- Ubuntu - <http://debian.stanford.edu/ubuntu>
For instance, on a Debian Lenny system, this '/etc/apt/sources.list' would read:
# The main Debian archive and source tree.
deb http://debian.stanford.edu/debian jessie main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian.stanford.edu/debian jessie main non-free contrib
Debian and Ubuntu i386 and x86_64 (amd64) releases are mirrored; for Ubuntu, generally only the latest LTS (long-term support release) plus the current and previous releases.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
As of June 1, 2015, the university will no longer license Red Hat for free distribution. End users who plan to continue updating Red Hat licenses are encouraged to contact DLT Solutions.

Replying to: katana II vs. katana dlx by lbf007
The Sanyo Katana II is a level entry camera phone, that is non EvDO, and the DLX is a higher end phone with a better 1.3 mp camera and video, mp3, expandable memory, advanced Bluetooth, and EvDO enabled. EvDO allows you to access the web browser at faster speeds. This would be a plus for GPS apps. If GPS apps are your deciding factor, go with the DLX. Hopes, this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to PM with any other questions.

Nvidia drivers hang my system
I am running the "testing" version of Debian. My kernel version is 2.6.8. When I start XFree86 up I get the nvidia splash screen and then Gnome appears to load as normal presenting me with my typical desktop. I may swirl the mouse around as much as I like and the text/graphics on xmms and gkrellm scroll across the app as expected. As soon as I click a mouse button the text/graphics quit scrolling and the system locks up. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (or any other keys for that matter) produces no effect and I have to reboot the system. Can someone assist me in getting my graphics card working properly? It is a GeForce FX 5700LE.

Attached are the relevant log files...
Also, the drivers appear to install correctly when running the 1.0-6111 install script.
Re: Nvidia drivers hang my system
While looking through your config file, I noticed:
Section "Module"
Section "Module"
Re: Nvidia drivers hang my system
AFAIK ateam's suggestion about modules is a non-issue. Your modules seem to be loading okay.
I would suggest finding where the problem is first. Is the problem your Debain system? That is, is the system stable without running X? Can you compile a kernel without locking up for example?
Is it the Desktop Environment or Window Manager? GNOME in this case. Install a very minimal window manager like twm (or fvwm2) and test your X configuration with that.
Then if that does work, try increasing the logging from X, 'startx -- -logverbose 5'.
Hope that helps.
Re: Nvidia drivers hang my system
The computer works fine if I only change the driver line from "nvidia" to "vesa". Also, this logging *is* 'startx -- -logverbose 5'

Western Europe in August
Hey, I'm 21 (and a girl), looking for someone trustworthy but fun to travel with through Western Europe in August. Right now, I'm interning in Dublin, Ireland but want to travel through Western Europe. I'm thinking of hitting up London, France, Switzerland, Amsterdam, and Germany (I have a sister who lives there), but I'm pretty flexible in terms of location. I'm looking for someone who's around my age or a bit older (I guess 20-25?) and who'll have fun time traveling with me. I have to be back to school by August 20th in Houston, but if this sounds feasible to your traveling plan, let me know!

Howdy folks - Ah'm feelin a might Texan after the fandango last nat!
Actually it was a great evening and I had a great time hanging around the dance. I make a great wallflower :tears
The Post Dance lasted officially til 1 am, but I left about 11pm and headed back to the hotel for some down time. I was a bit hungry, and let me tell you there ain't even a vending machine in Marathon after 10 pm.
I came into the lobby of the Gage to sit down and finish the ride report, the only place they have wifi in the hotel, and asked the desk clerk if she knew of any place I could find a vending machine since I hadn't had supper. I tried to look emaciated but it just doesn't work since I'm not. She said "hang on a sec..." and in a couple of minutes appeared from the Quail Tongue kitchen with two goodies for me. She dropped them in my helmet and gave a belly laugh, saying "They'll never miss 'em!"
I thanked her profusely and upon inspection found one to be a chocolate muffin and the other a small pecan pie (personal travel size). Woohoo! Nothing like a late night sugar rush when you need to sleep.
Figuring the pecan pie had too much sugar, I scarfed the chocolate muffin down and washed it down with a complimentary bottle of water on my nightstand. It was right next to the complimentary earplugs. More on that later.
Well, the chocolate muffin had it's revenge. I had a horrible nightmare in which I was sitting on a couch next to Tommy Lee Jones. He sat at the end and stared at me with an angry look. It was one huge eternity of silence while he looked at me over his folded newspaper and I couldn't think of anything to say to him. This went on forever it seemed like. I realize Tommy always looks angry, but he just was not a conversationalist. Maybe I had a near-death experience and went to hades for a moment. Shudder.
Anyway, I actually do like the Gage Hotel - it's a beautiful place and decorated nicely. You should stay there at least once if you get the chance. One word of caution, the floors squeak like you wouldn't believe, and the walls and doors are paper thin. Toilet paper thin. About 1 am, when I finally made it to the room, I was painfully aware of all the folks sleeping and tried to be quiet. Of course I had to go from the bed to the potty right before sleeping, and I blanched, thinking of all the noise my footsteps would make. I tried to tiptoe quietly, but each step sounded like 2000 sweaty thighs sliding on naugahyde and vinyl. My God it was noisy. It seemed to take an eternity to make it to the bathroom and back.
I thought maybe the earplugs were for the squeaky floors, but later realized they were for many things, including the trains across the road.
The bed felt for a while, until I realized my 6'4 frame was in a 6' bed frame. When I finally woke up and sat up, I heard the person in the room next door putting on jeans and could hear the zipper zipping. Yikes! God only knows what he thought when I put my boots on... hearing huge patches of velcro ripping and the snapping of many buckles...
I carried my gear through the shee-shee lobby, my big ziplock bags of clothes stuffed proudly under each arm and one held between my teeth (my arms were full). Outside it was threatening rain and cool, and my instincts told me to eat breakfast. I stuffed my gear in the side cases and headed into the Quail Lips Cafe for breakfast. The menu featured very little exotic breakfast fare - much to my disappointment, but I ordered the Biscuits and Wild Sage Sausage Gravy with fruit side.
All I gotta say is "You can't fool momma's little biscuit eater"... beneath the free range sage gravy lay two Sam's pre-made biscuits. Oh well, I scarfed them down anyway. I still had the pecan pie from last night for later. Woohoo!
All foolishness and drama aside, the Gage is a cool hotel and a fun place to stay...
I filled up at the Shell station in the drizzle and cool wind. The horizon was ominous and threatening rain.
Heading out for Sanderson, there was a chill in the air and spats of rain. I didn't see a single car for miles, instead enjoying the fantastic scenes made by light and shadow on the hills around me. I really felt like I was in New Mexico or Wyoming. A very surreal ride but really great also.
Somebody tell me I'm in Texas...
The thing about rain is it has a tendency to suck you in until it's too late. It sprinkles then stops, sprinkles then stops, sprinkles then stops until you are drawn into the "maybe I don't need to stop and put on my rain gear cause it might not last" syndrome. Miles later you are shivering from hypothermia, finally stop and put on your gear, only for the rain to stop. Guess what...
I finally suited up and was glad I did. The rain came in spurts and stops, stinging my face at 75 mph in the open face MX helmet. The ride to Sanderson continued the surreal atmosphere, surrounded by billowy grey clouds just above ground level.
Gassed up in Sanderson, where fuel prices were a bit better than further west. That's a busy little town for a small place.
The obligatory shot of someone taking the obligatory shot
I had decided to cut up to Sheffield and see Ft. Lancaster from Sanderson, so I headed north on 285. About a mile out, the rain got a lot stronger and lasted for miles until I reached FM 2400 to cut east towards for Sheffield.
Nothing warms my heart more than seeing a sign like this when it's raining and you've got 39 miles to go on a road you've never ridden...
Each of the dips and wash crossings were fresh with signs of recent flooding - piles of rock, dirt and brush that had been pushed off by road crews. Apparently they'd had some serious flooding earlier in the week. I stayed on my toes for the ride, since it continued to rain and it's easy to hit unseen standing water in the dips. After about 30 miles, the sporadic rain stopped and it dried out a little.
The road is a nice winding road with zero traffic - might be a good alternative as a cut down to Big Bend for someone wanting a back road trip.
All I gotta say is out there is a whole lotta nada, a whole lotta notta lotta...
I caught up to my first car as I turned north on 349 for Sheffield.
As I slowly caught up to the car and made a pass on a long straight, I saw a single buzzard sitting on the yellow line nibbling on something (ancho crusted quail probably). The stare down began, since my speed was high from just passing the car and I couldn't hit the brakes hard. I watched in slo-mo as his brainless nasty red head tried to track me. Sure enough, 20 feet from me he launched - directly at my front fender. I dove against the tank bag and felt his wings brush over me. Good gawd I can't believe he didn't hit me... I'm sure the car behind me was enjoying the show but I wasn't. Last summer I had a pigeon hit my dead center on my face shield and it almost knocked me out. I hate to think what buzzard breath would have done.
Thankfully, I carry spare shorts for just such occasions, and now wide awake I rode on for Sheffield.
Sheffield was a simple, old oil field type town with not much there. I headed west on 290 for Fort Lancaster.
I had only ridden a short time before my next test appeared.
Multiple Choice Question...
Do you:
A. Swerve left to avoid the cow with horns on the right?
B. Swerve right to avoid the cow with horns on the left?
C. Stay straight and challenge the hyper acting cow with horns standing in the roadway.
D. Curse Mr. Buzzard for his horned friends?
E. Begin to suspect another government operation to get you?
The answer is: I don't know.
Anyway, I got slowed quickly and the squirrelly cattle began acting squirrelly. The ones on the side bolted away, but the crazy one in the middle ran right then immediately made a huge loop back onto the road in front of me where he then ran for a ways before going right into the ditch and running alongside me for a good 100 yards. Before heading off into a driveway. Sheesh.
By this time I was ready to get off the bike and Ft. Lancaster came up soon after.
I was the only person at the Fort, and the lady working there wasn't too friendly. I wandered through the exhibit, snapping the following pics for a history lesson:
Now known as riding a KTM...
For BMW riders, this is like wearing non-BMW branded gear...
An old Boy Scout trick...
No comment...
Now they just make you look at a picture of Hillary...
I thought you'd find that as interesting and informative as I did. From there, I wandered out onto the old fort's parade grounds, then wandered alongside the ruins. It's cool to see the old remains, but it ain't exactly an exciting place to wander.
This centipede and I were the only visitors
This reminds me of that motel I stayed in in Cody...
The time seemed right to eat a snack and tank up on water. It just so happened that I had a travel size pecan pie from Marathon riding shotgun. Poor guy.
I know what you're thinking... it looks suspiciously like a "Little Debbie" pecan pie.
I thought so too, but considering it came from the frig of the Quail Lips Cafe at the Gage, it has to be made by hand by a world famous chef, using only the finest quail's milk and pecan crusted pecan crust? Right? I bet this puppy was worth $15 in the restaurant. It did taste good however, the perfect balance of sugariness and pecaniness, with just a hint of quail...
From there I headed for I-10, stopping at the overlook at the top of the hill for a snapshot. Nice view of the area.
The sun came out just as I eased onto I-10 and hammered the throttle for home. The weather was definitely weird though - clouds and spattering rain alternated with bright sunshine from Sheffield all the way to Ozona, where I whipped in for gas.
After topping off, I headed downtown to see the place, circling the square and eventually pulling up to a statue of Davy Crockett. His quote of "Make sure you're right then go ahead" carved along the bottom. I stopped and pulled out the camera for a shot, still wearing my Darth Vader helmet. As I turned back straight, I was shocked to see the Sheriff sitting right alongside me with his window rolled down, saying something to me. I yanked my helmet off to get my earplugs out, forgetting I had my sunglasses on, launching them to the ground between us. He laughed and apologized for making me lose my glasses, then asked me if I'd noticed the dark area on the statue. He then told me some teens had napalmed Davy Crockett's crotch and burned that area of the statue black last year but now it was mostly gone.
He asked where I was from and where I was heading. I told him I'd never seen Ozona before and had swung off the freeway. We ended up talking a long time - he gave me the history of the town, which isn't really a town as it was never incorporated, pointed out the old jail with it's hanging pole still intact, etc. He said the county was 3000 square miles and a very interesting place. I enjoyed talking with him, and he told me some routes to ride in the future. He genuinely told me to be careful and try to stay off I-10 if possible. I wished him well and offered the same blessing to be safe, and I hoped to meet up with him again.
The old jail and current Sheriff's HQ
The view from the old water well site where the town grew up around
Back on the freeway, I burned my premium towards Sonora and then on towards Junction. The bizarre weather continued, with gusts of severe winds from the south.
About 30 miles outside Junction, two ominous black storm clouds lay ahead with pouring rain. As I hit the rain, I pulled off the highway under a tree to suit up in full rain gear. Not safe but no exits where anywhere close...
After riding in the rain a few minutes, the sun came out (of course) and I sweltered until Junction and a gas stop where I could get out of the rain gear. Gas even cheaper here woohoo! Like it really makes any difference when over $4 a gallon...
For the dual sporters here - Richard's launch pad for the DS ride - had a blast
From Junction on to Kerrville, there was no more drama (Thank God) other than high winds and the realization that the weekend was done.
I rolled into the Shell station where I'd gassed up Friday morning, just as the odometer rolled over to 1002 miles.
What a great weekend ride!
Thanks for reading and stay safe my friends...

Butterscotch Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
|Butterscotch chips
|6 Ounce
|10 Tablespoon
|Boiling water
|2 Tablespoon
|Baking soda
|1 Teaspoon
|1 Large
|All purpose flour
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Granulated sugar
|4 Cup (64 tbs)
|Quick oatmeal
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Vanilla ice cream
|1 Quart
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
1. Preheat oven to 350o (degrees Fahrenheit).
2. Pour 2 cups of water in a large sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and place stainless steel bowl over the sauce pan to make a double boiler (in French it's called bain-marie).
3. Pour butterscotch chips in stainless steel bowl, add butter and mix well - stirring occasionally. When butter and chips are melted – it will take about 10 minutes - remove from the heat.
4. Whisk all dry ingredients into a large bowl (flour, sugar, salt and oat meal).
5. Pour butterscotch mixture into the electric mixer bowl.
6. Mix 2 tablespoons of boiling water with 1 tablespoon of baking soda in a small bowl and add to the butterscotch mixture. Then, add 1 egg and run mixer slowly using the paddle attachment.
7. Next, add dry ingredients, slowly, until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
8. Let the cookie dough rest for a half hour.
9. Use a 1/8 cup or #30 ice cream scoop to scoop the correct portion size of cookie dough. Place dough on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape and press down into a 2-½ inch round cookie - spacing each about 1-1/2 inches apart.
10. Bake cookies for 8 minutes. Do not over bake - edges of cookies should be just golden brown. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes and transfer cookies onto a wire rack.
11. When cookies are cool, scoop a generous portion of vanilla ice cream on the flat side (bottom) of a cookie. Place another cookie on the top of the ice cream, flat side facing the ice cream. Gently press both cookies until the ice cream reaches the edge.
12. Wrap each cookie in plastic film and put in the freezer, immediately. They will keep in freezer for few days.
13. When you serve your ice cream sandwiches, make sure to pull them out of the freezer at least 5-to-10 minutes prior to serving.

Dear WeekendI liked Sally Vincent's interview with Juliette Binoche (A Good Thing Going, July 15), but did notice her reference to 'how very much men hate women'. Unqualified, that sounds much like the sort of racial slur often paraded as established fact. So half of humanity hates the other half just for starters, before we even get to ethnicity, religion, etc. Is there anyone else out there who isn't seething with hatred?

public ref class MyClass: public MarshalByRefObject { public: [System::Security::Permissions::SecurityPermissionAttribute (System::Security::Permissions::SecurityAction::Demand, Flags=System::Security::Permissions::SecurityPermissionFlag::Infrastructure)] virtual Object^ InitializeLifetimeService() override { ILease^ lease = dynamic_cast<ILease^>(MarshalByRefObject::InitializeLifetimeService()); if ( lease->CurrentState == LeaseState::Initial ) { lease->InitialLeaseTime = TimeSpan::FromMinutes( 1 ); lease->SponsorshipTimeout = TimeSpan::FromMinutes( 2 ); lease->RenewOnCallTime = TimeSpan::FromSeconds( 2 ); } return lease; } };

make it again
Makes about 1 3/4 cups
Combine all ingredients in small bowl; whisk to blend. Season aioli to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
*Available from Tienda.com (888-472-1022; tienda.com).
Not sure what happened tonight...nothing I made turned out. How can you screw up aioli? Maybe my smoked paprika was no good...bought recently from the bulk barn. Or maybe too much garlic overpowered the smoked paprika flavor. I omitted the tomato paste maybe shouldn't have.
