Hogsback Rd., Lassen Trail, Ponderosa Rd.
This will be a report about the above listed routes that I rode with LucasLeader last Saturday. It'll include some reflections from my childhood but the report won't be as good as I had hoped because basiclly I SUCK at this. I didn't take as many pics as I had wanted to. I guess I just got into the riding and was having too much fun, but the thing about that is.........I'm already thinking about doing it again. Slower pace and taking more pics.
I've been wanting to do this ride for a couple of reasons. 1) I haven't seen any ride reports on the Hogsback Rd., just a couple of mentions about being rocky. 2) I used to tag along with my father, brother and family friends hunting in this area in the late 60's. My father and his hunting partner have both passed away in the past 5 yrs. so this was a ride of reflection for myself and sharing with Lucas. So let's get started....
The turn off onto Hogsback Rd. We stopped here so I could get a pic of the sign for this report. Terrible pic, sorry, but my camera (phone) doesn't do zoom well. When I went to get back on the bike I caught my pants cuff on the footpeg and tipped over to the right. Felt like slow motion, WTF. Lucas helped me pick ol' blue up and I was just asking myself, "did that really just happen?". Seriously, I was totally in dis-belief of what just happened. One things for sure, I always aim to amuse.
Before I get too carried away, Lucas and I met at Country Waffles in Chico for breakfast before heading out, stopped in Los Molinas to top off fuel and got back under way. Now at this point we were on slab, Hwy 99, but it didn't matter, I was thrilled to be doing something on the bike other than commuting. I hadn't hit the dirt for a couple of weeks so I was ready. Getting onto Hogsback Rd. Looking towards Red Bluff.
It didn't take long to start gaining in altitude. Looking back down on the valley.
A sampling of Hogsback Rd. Again I apologize for the lack of pics, This road is rocky. Lava rock. I was having a blast, so much so that this is actually the only pic that I got of Hogsback. The entire length of Hogsback was rocky and once we got close to Plum Creek Rd. it smoothed out to graded gravel. Somewhere on Hogsback I lost my insulated overalls. I hesitated to go back after them and decided I couldn't afford to let them go, less than a year old, so I turned around and went after them figuring I would catch back up to Lucas. He finally realized I wasn't behind him and came back after me as I was restrapping my load. Sorry Lucas.
This shot is the road going down into the Tehema Wildlife Area. I don't remember this being up here when I was little. This may have actually been the area we hunted in but I'm not sure. There are signs posted that state it is restricted to special permit use only between Oct. 27th to Nov 4th. May be a special hunt zone, sign didn't say why. Wouldn't want to inform the public too much.
We continued on up the road.
At least there was a phone number posted that you could call for more info on the restrictions. At this location there was another sign board that had a map and showed numerous Jeep Trails. It had a legend on it and stated the use rules for the area. I see this as requiring some more exploring in the future. I thought I took a picture of the sign board but APPARENTLY NOT.
The sign board was off to the right of this shot.
Maybe Lucas can chime in and provide his perspective.
I'll pick up where I left off tommorrow night. Good night,
No, I don't know where that road goes, let's find out!

Was a fun and refreshing ride. With the temperature dropping it feels really good to get out in the cool air and not feel like I'm breathing through a hairdryer. Hogsback was a neat road since you start in the wide open low rolling hills and climb up into the woods. We might have to check out those Jeep trails sometime. The 172 was awesome and even though it can be frustrating getting turned around on dirt roads from blockages, it's fun trying to make your way around through the trees. There are a ton of dirt roads in that area so there is plenty of exploring to do. The Lassen trail is always fun too since you get so much different terrain and awesome views. After a couple of weekends in a row of not doing much it was really nice to get out for a full day of riding.

Ok, where were we.....
We continued on up the road and soon came to Plum Creek Road and followed that to Paynes Creek. Pavement, I was disappointed but still a fun curvy road. Sorry no pics. Got to Paynes Creek and picked up Hwy 36 and headed towards Chester. We pulled in to a vista point to check out what was there to see. Mostly a recently scourched canyon. Lucas and I just kind of hung out and talked for awhile and observed the others that were there. A couple of Harley riders and a KLR rider with them. A couple of pics of the scourched canyon.
So many fires this year....
Our trusty, reliable steeds.
Continuing on we picked up Hwy 172 just as you come into Mineral and took the fork to the right. Found the road I had marked to begin our trek back towards home. We were about half way at this point. We were thrilled to be back on the dirt and the beginning looked promising.
Following my route the road seemed to come to an end. It was supposed to curve around to the left but appeared to not be in use any longer. It was somewhat grown over and a lot of loose dirt and rocks. The obvious route went to the right opposite of what the map showed. We followed the obvious route, it dead ended, we came back and decided to bushwack and see if we could get accross what I had routed. It was only about 1/2 mile to pick up the next road but it was not to be. Make logs your favorite...
Those logs continued beyond what you see here. It was fun getting to this point but going around no longer worked as the terrain began to get steeper. After consulting the gps we found a go around and re-routed. Looking back toward what we came down, what you can't see in the pic is the log we had to go around. Up we went back tracking back up the hill.
We re-routed and followed the next road off of Hwy 172 and picked up our original route just outside of Hole in the Creek campround. Sorry no pic. I suck. Beautiful little campround right on (I believe) Mill Creek. The map showed the road crossing the creek but it was obvious that there hadn't been anybody cross the creek for quite some time. You could see what looked to be the remnants of the road on the other side but we obviously weren't going to get there.
More backtracking and at this point it was about 1:30pm so we defaulted to what we knew. We headed out Hwy 172 to Hwy 36...
a couple of view pics off of Hwy 36 before picking up Hwy 32,
We continued on Hwy 36 to Hwy 32 and made a right. After a couple of miles we made a right and started on the Lassen Trail toward Chico.
Ok, enough for tonight. Sorry for dragging this on but I'm trying to get through my voter info at the same time.
I'll try to finish this tommorrow night.
Good night.

Ok, let's see if I can wrap up this "ride of reflection"...
I left off where we had just picked up the Lassen Trail. It's a smooth graded road and fast so if you ride it be careful of potential oncoming traffic. Not a lot of pics from this point on, I was getting tired and we were just riding. I knew we had some rough stuff coming up. Ponderosa Rd. is rough from the top of the hill at the sign boards on if you're heading toward Cohassett.
This marker says " the road today was mostly uphill and rocky, last night snow fell on the mountains, everybody is pushing forward as fast as possible fearing that winter has set in and they may be caught in the snow. God help the ...(I can't read the last word, sorry) S. Doyle October 10th 1849.
We came accross the 4 markers that I'll post pics of. There may be more but we didn't see them.
The next marker... Lassen Trail-The Last Summit, "We gained the summit of greatest elevation...here we found 8 dead oxen, 2 discarded wagons, peices of others and clothing scattered around." J Goldsborough Bruff Oct 21. 1849
The next marker... Lassen Trail-Mill Creek Overlook "The veiw below and before us truly grand, the lofty mountains, the stupendous rocks with the deep cut vale below (I beleive that was supposed to be valley) renders this one of the finest and most picturesque veiws I ever beheld." Henry Austin Oct 21. 1849
Lassen Trail- The Narrows "There is an immense abyss on each side, we could look down thousands of feet, the side of the ridge seeming almost perpendicular." Charles Glass Gray Sept. 29th 1849
At the narrows marker there is a memorial for Ishi, the last person known of the Yahi indian tribe.
Views looking off of both sides of the narrows.
The last marker that I know of, Lassen Trail-Unrecognizable Emigrants... "Could you see me I would not be recognized, dirty, filthy and ragged and fully equal in appearance to the natives excepting being in an entire state of nudity." WM Steuben Sept 20 1849
At this last trail marker there are 3 sign boards telling of the area, one telling of the Campbell Fire that happened a while back. I'm not sure of the date, I didn't read the board but it may be the one that took the cabin that was co-owned by my parents and their High school friends. More on that soon.
Another board telling of the Ishi Wilderness Area and showing the different trails that the pioneers and indians used.
The last sign board telling about the Lassen Trail.
It's actually an interesting ride if you're into pioneer history.
From here the road begins to get rough, as I've said, I like it rough and this is one of my favorite rides. Sorry no pics as I was trying to catch up to Lucas. He took the lead and never looked back. Like a horse heading to the barn.
Looking toward where we were heading leaving the area of the boards.
This shot is looking back at the road where we had just come down about 2/3rds of the way to Deer Creek from the sign boards (top of the hill) the road is that small cut in the mountain. You don't want to hit the turns to "hot" it's a long ways down and you won't stop until you hit the bottom.
Once we got to the bottom of the hill we took a left turn onto a side road just before we hit the bridge over Deer Creek. This took us down to a little camping area and a spot in the creek that I immediately recognized. Time for some reflection. My parents along with a couple that they went to High School with purchased a 20 acre peice of property up on Campbell Ridge back in the mid 60's. They built their own cabin, 4 bedroom. 2 upstairs 1 for the girls and 1 for the boys. There were a total of 5 kids. The 2 bedrooms downstairs were for the parents. This cabin was on the edge of a canyon with a great view of the valley looking towards Los Molinas. It was an awesome place to spend as a kid. We had our own shooting range, archery range. We made trips to Deer Creek where the pics below were taken. At the time there was no camp area. You had to hike in and wade across the creek to the swim area. It was very private. Us as kids learned to drive on this 20 acres in a 1942 CJ2a Jeep. We also spent a lot of time riding motorcycles and pretending we had our own indian tribe. Great memories. I have a montage of pics that I'll post as my parting shot at the end of this report.
The area we used to cross just above the white water.
The rock in the fore-ground is where we used to "sun-bathe" and jump into the water. The pool there is DEEP. We used to see 2-3 foot Steelhead in that pool but could never catch them. They obviously were content. I don't know if there are any fish still there, this area looks to get a lot of use now. In a way it's kind of sad that the access is so easy now. Not private anymore but on the other side, I'm glad people are enjoying the area.
Deep pool, I'm guessing about 15 to 20ft. I don't remember as a child ever hitting bottom there.
Looking upstream from the pool.
And I found some flowers for the ladies.
Some rock formations looking up fron the creek.
At the top of the hill at the heli-pad. At this point we are only 2 miles at most from where our cabin used to be. This cabin burned down in the spring of 1990 due to some PG&E power lines arching during a storm. At that point the property was sold to the son of my parents friends that were partners. He lived there off grid for a few years before health issues forced him off of the hill. He and my sister are now married but currently seperated.
The cabin I speak of, the view from the cabin and looking back at the cabin from one side of the canyon. The burned area is where the cabin used to be. Not good pics but the best I could do. Pictures were taken back in the 70's
That concludes this RR. I have to tell you, I was tired and the next day sore. I had me some of this...
...and some of this,
...and poured my tired ass into bed.
Thanks for coming along. Had a great time as usual Lucas and I look forward to more rides together. Thank you for indulging me.
Ride on.

Awesome Redog1. You captured quite a few Lassen markers on this trip. As you know, I love the Pioneer history. I have never seen that leg of the trail. Bummer about the cabin burning down. The old photos were cool. It is such a beautiful area with a great swimming hole. Hours of fun!
Enjoyed the report! Looking forward to the next one.

Minute of silence now mandatory in public schools
Time given to reflect, pray
Posted: April 3, 2013 at 1:56 a.m.
Gov. Mike Beebe signed into law Tuesday a bill that requires all Arkansas public schools to observe a daily minute of silence to allow students to "reflect," "pray" or "engage in a silent activity." House Bill 1690, now Act 576, modifies Arkansas Code Annotated 6-10-115, which previously allowed teachers to hold a moment of silence for "all students in the classroom who desire to participate " stopping short of mandating such observations.

Lifes a roller coaster, so sit down, hang on, and away we go!!
Talking about myself is not my strong suit but i will give this a shot. Some would say i'm probably a little too laid back. I love to joke around, have fun, enjoy life, and never take anything for granted. I have 2 beautiful girls ages 3 and 12. They are my life, and are the reason i get up every morning!! Although I've lived here for over 4 years i still feel like there is so much i have not seen and done here in the sunshine state. I'm usually down for just about anything, and will try everything once. I'm looking for someone who doesn't take life so serious, somebody who loves kids, is respectful and someone who isn't afraid to laugh at themselves. After having an account for a while now and meeting a handful of people I just want to make it clear if you are still living or obsessed with your ex wife please keep looking. I am fully over my ex husband and am really ready to start meeting some cool people as friends and then see were things go. :) Have any questions for me shoot me an email!!!

South Texas Report: 09.19.07
Songok earns runner of the week honors
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi junior cross county runner Shadrack Songok was named the Southland Conference Men's Athlete of the Week in cross country on Tuesday. It is the first time he has earned the weekly award this season.
Songok received the honor after claiming the top spot at the 33rd Rice Invitational in a time of 16:58.73. The Kenyan edged teammate J.R. Pulido by 10 seconds over the 5.4K course in Houston. The Islanders claimed four of the top five spots and had five runners in the top seven to claim first as a team.
The Islanders are off this weekend and return to action next week when they host the Islander Splash at West Guth Park. The university races will be on Friday beginning with the women's race at 6 p.m., while the junior high and high school races will be on Saturday.

You're correct Chip.
Good piston, piston ring and cylinder design work together to provide long lasting service under extreme heat with high friction and gas pressures. The boxer engine uses high quality pistons and rings from Mahle, a world class manufacturer (when next watching NASCAR on SPEED, note the Mahle fender sticker on your favorite car).
Blow-by is inevitable. If the fuel is wet, then you're going to load your engine oil with moisture increasing the potential for the formation of acids. There are many stations that turn over their fuels slowly, maintain their equipment poorly and dispense wet fuel unknowingly, I fuel only at high volume stations that I trust. If you're travelling, truck stops typically have high gasoline turnover and keep their equipment in good working order. Of course, you can always ask the attendant behind the register. I once asked the local station clerk, "When did you get your last fuel delivery" When I heard two weeks ago, I rode on to another station. Motor fuel does sour with age so, use caution.
If you get water in your crankcase, change the oil and filter ASAP.

Consolidated Construction Says Low Margins Likely for 6 Quarters
Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- S. Sivaramakrishnan, managing director of Consolidated Construction Consortium Ltd., comments on the company's expected performance for the next six quarters after posting a loss in the three months ended Sept. 30. He spoke by telephone from the southern city of Chennai, where the provider of construction services is based.
"Until the middle of 2013-14, we expect our margins will be low because of interest costs and overheads not getting covered by the business.
''Slowly, we are coming out of fixed-price contracts.
''However, for the quarter ended March 2012, we may be back in the black as we expect to complete three or four projects between 500 million rupees and 3 billion rupees and expect money to come in.
''Whatever new contracts we are bidding now, we have price protection and we will be able to pass on the increase in costs to our customers.''

mouse cursor remains in other screen edge
I have a problem with my mouse cursor after installing the linux driver. I have looked for a similar problem on this forum, but have not been able to find anyone who seems to have the same problem.
My problem is that when I move the mouse cursor between one screen and the other (I have two displays) the mouse cursor leaves an image of the cursor at the edge of the screen where it left the screen, as the cursor appears in the other screen. The problem occurs going both directions. When the screensaver (xscreensaver) starts, the frozen mouse cursor is not erased by the screensaver.
I am running kubuntu 9.04 with KDE 3.5.10 on an amd64-bit system and the driver I have loaded is NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2. My kernel is 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP and the video card is based on a GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS. Has anyone else had this problem? Or can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thank you in advance,
Re: mouse cursor remains in other screen edge
Not familiar with kubuntu 9, but I would bet that problem would not happen in non-KDE desktop. Try using gnome and see if issue still exists.
Re: mouse cursor remains in other screen edge
It's not a KDE problem, it's a known bug in the X server with Xinerama. The bug is mentioned in this thread: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=132687
There is an X server patch mentioned in that thread that is supposed to fix this problem.
Re: mouse cursor remains in other screen edge
What conky said. Also, it should be fixed in xserver 1.7 when it comes out hopefully very soon.
Re: mouse cursor remains in other screen edge
Thank you, conky for your information and the link. I looked for the patch, but I am not sure I would be confident enough to try applying a patch without understanding more about it. I do hope it will be in the X server 1.7 as AaronP predicts and I hope 1.7 will be in kubuntu soon.
Re: mouse cursor remains in other screen edge
Thank you, AaronP for your information. I, too, hope that it will be fixed in xserver 1.7 and I hope xserver 1.7 will be in kubuntu soon.

If some unknown talent came out of some random tiny country (no chance to win DC) and won 20 slams, no one would give a single shit if that player didn't have DC. The fact is, success in DC is largely determined by what country you come from or play for in the first place, which most players haven't had any control over.

35 year old man | Las Vegas, NV, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 10 miles
Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection." - Simon Pegg
I've changed this profile about five times. The thought of covering my awesomeness in 4000 words fills me with anxiety...and I'm not even that awesome. Take what you will of this information: 1- I currently attempt to teach English literature and writing. I say attempt because it often feels like I'm just talking to myself like some wandering madman. It's not their fault; they just had the misfortune of being subjected to my random musings on geek culture. I love teaching because it requires me to keeping learning new things. Also, teachers roll in the dough :) 2- I used to work as a floor entertainer at a jungle-themed family restaurant, where I dressed as a talking monkey, a tribal medicine man, an Indiana Jones tour guide, and a supervillain called Taco Man, among many others. It instilled in me a willingness to make an ass of myself on a regular basis for the entertainment of others, something I often display at karaoke. In fact, I recently gave myself a slight case of whiplash rocking out to "I Believe in a Thing Called Love." What can I say? I'm a people-pleaser and you have to give the crowd what they want. 3- I love to read and write pieces that are rather sardonic in nature. In fact, I'm currently working on a piece where a man finds Jesus working at a massage parlor. I don't think it's unrealistic. We're an extremely tense race. If the son of God returns, his greatest gift would be laying his hands upon stressed muscles. 4- I can have conversations about movies and comic books all day, but I also like to mix it up and talk about more serious matters. For example, is it just me or did Twinkies get smaller after their triumphant return? I really don't feel like enough people are talking about this issue. 5- If there is a heaven, I'm sure it resembles Disneyland. I often imagine St. Peter handing out churros and Mickey ears at the pearly gates. 6- As an English teacher, I'm often stuck in the office reading papers during work hours, so I love to be active in my time off. While it's nice to chill out to a nice book or a great movie, I also feel like the world is too big to not explore. I'm new to Las Vegas and I only feel like I've just cracked it's shell and glimpsed it's gooey, complicated insides (it's a strange description, I know, but I won't apologize). 7- I try to not take life too seriously. That doesn't mean I won't take you seriously, though. I would rather listen to you talk than to PARTY. As I say, I'm new to Vegas, so even if something significant doesn't get moving, it would still be nice to have a drinking buddy or fellow explorer. I'm rather anxious to get out and meet new people. Concerning my partner, I'm looking for somebody who never uses the phrase "Everything happens for a reason." I have to get that out of the way. They should enjoy movies, especially a bad science fiction/horror film, and be willing to MSTK 3000 it with me (hopefully, you know what that means). I would love to be with an adventurous person: you know, hunting down a quirky local landmark or willing to occasionally search for the Ark of the Covenant, just your standard weekend. They should also appreciate my geeky side. You don't have to engage in said geekiness, but you need to accept that I've actually written academic papers on zombies, Battlestar Galactica, and found footage horror films. But I also look for somebody who can talk about other non-geek-related topics. I have a wide range of interests and I'm always willing to open up to new ideas. In addition, this person should be actively looking to grow as an individual. I don't want to change you, nor am I looking to judge, but I always like people who seek out new experiences and ideas that allow them to develop as human beings. Wow. I really didn't mean to end on such a deep thought. I'll rectify that by saying that "The Big Lebowski" helped to frame my personal ideology. especially my belief that a good rug can really bring a room together. Hope to hear from you.

I recently read "The Science of Fear" by Howard Gardner, which addressed why we live in such a fear-based culture. It was fascinating and led to my hypothesis that Americans are becoming more anxious as they become more attached to technology/news.

Taisto Mäki
Mäki breaks the 30-minute barrier in 1939.
|Medal record
|Men's athletics
|Representing Finland
|European Championships
|1938 Paris
|5000 m
Taisto Armas Mäki (2 December 1910 – 1 May 1979) was a Finnish long-distance runner - one of the so-called "Flying Finns".[1] Like his coach and close friend, Paavo Nurmi, Mäki broke world records over two miles, 5000 metres and 10,000 metres - holding the records simultaneously between 1939 and 1942.[1] Mäki was the first man to run 10,000 metres in less than 30 minutes, breaking his own world record in a time of 29:52.6 on 17 September 1939.[2]
Mäki was born in Rekola in the municipality of Vantaa. He was a shepherd by trade, earning him the nickname "Rekolan paimenpoika" (the "Rekola herdboy").[2] At a time when Finland dominated men's long-distance running, Mäki did not come to prominence until 1938. In September of that year, in what proved to be his only appearance at a major championships, he won the 5000 metres at the European Championships in Paris, beating Swede Henry Jonsson and fellow Finn Kauko Pekuri into second and third place with a time of 14:26.8.[3] On 29 September 1938, less than four weeks after winning in Paris, Mäki broke the 10,000 metres world record for the first time, beating Ilmari Salminen's old record by more than three seconds in a time of 30:02.0.[4] Mäki went on to break five world records during the following summer.[1] On 7 June he took close to three seconds off Miklós Szabó's two mile world record, running a time of 8:53.2 in the Helsinki Olympic Stadium.[5] Nine days later, in the same stadium, he took over eight seconds off Lauri Lehtinen's world record over 5000 metres.[6] He followed these performances by taking close to ten seconds off his own 10,000 m world record, running 29:52.6 on 17 September.[4]
The Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union broke out on 30 November 1939. Like many of his fellow Flying Finns, including Gunnar Höckert and Lauri Lehtinen, Mäki was initially deployed on the Karelian Isthmus.[1] However, along with Paavo Nurmi, he was sent on a tour of the United States in February 1940 in order to raise money for the Finnish Relief Fund. During the tour, which lasted for two months and culminated in an appearance in front of 14,000 people at Madison Square Garden, the two men raced against hand-picked American athletes. Mäki's times during the tour were well below those he had set the previous summer, the cause of which was a matter of much debate at the time.[1] Mäki's career was cut short by service in World War II. The conflict had also caused the cancellation of the 1940 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, and with it ending Mäki's hopes of representing his country at the Olympic Games.[7]

A survey by The Leapfrog Group that involved more than 1,200 acute-care hospitals found that only 7% met its criteria for full deployment of computerized physician order entry systems. Leapfrog, an employer consortium based in Washington, requires hospitals to process at least 75% of inpatient drug orders via CPOE and to use a specific tool for assessing whether their platforms notify clinicians of common errors.

Arrests made in May 13 robbery
SWAT team called out on both occasions
Two men named as suspects in a May 13 robbery have now been arrested, but both arrests drew the Wichita Falls Police Department SWAT team.
Xavier Aundryall Evans, 30, was arrested Friday morning after a short standoff on Carrigan Street. Evans' bail was not set Friday morning. He was being held in the Wichita County Jail.
According to Sgt. Joe Snyder, public information officer with the WFPD:
Police were called at 7:49 a.m. by a person who said they saw a man recognized from a recent Texoma's Most Wanted lineup, released by Crime Stoppers.
Police went to the 2500 block of Carrigan and tried to locate the suspect at the house the caller said the man ran into.
Police were unable to apprehend the man and believed he had barricaded himself inside the house, so SWAT was called to the scene. They were setting up around the house when negotiators were able to talk to Evans. He came out of the house willingly at 9:36 a.m.
Evans had an outstanding warrant for the May 13 robbery and a warrant for attorney off bond-evading arrest/detention.
Evans was the second suspect named in the robbery warrant. The first man was arrested earlier this month.
According to court paperwork:
A man walked into the police department May 13 to report that he had been robbed.
He said he went to a house on Carrigan to ask a man about some money owed to him. The man who owed money got angry and a verbal argument started.
The victim said he turned around to leave when the man hit him, jumped on his back and assaulted him. He said he heard the voice of "Ace," who was telling the other suspect to get in his pockets. He knew Ace to be Xavier Evans, he told police.
The two men took $130 from the victim's pocket before he was able to get free.
Sedrick Dwayne Adams, 31, was arrested June 14 on an outstanding warrant that named him as a suspect in that robbery.
On June 14, a woman called police and said a man took another man and a woman into his apartment on Kemp at gunpoint, according to previous Times Record News articles.
Police knocked on the apartment door and could hear movement inside but no one answered. The WFPD SWAT team was called out and set up a perimeter around the area. Traffic on Kemp was diverted for several hours as negotiators tried to make contact with the people inside the apartment.
The man and woman originally named as victims came out of the apartment and Adams followed later.
Charges have yet to be filed in the incident, but Adams was arrested for the outstanding robbery warrant.

Bullshido must be cleansed!
You guiz,
I noticed that lately there are a lot of fucktards, mouthboxers, degenerates and even freeky deeky TKD practisioners on Bullshido.
I suggest it's time to drop the veil and show our real faces!
No more tkd/karate/wc/aikido and such allowed!
I suggest the following: Only people who practise the following styles are to be taken seriously on bullshido: BJJ, Muay thai, KSkarate,Judo,kickboxing,boxing,mma,sambo.
Phrost and his cleansing team will send emails with an agreement option which states that all styles that have good delivery systems and that train alive will be accepted as the only norm.
Those who fail to respond or respond negative will get a mark next to their handlename so they are easy to recognise for the rest for us, let's say we use a blue star.
The members with a blue star are not to be taken seriously and should be ignored when they post on threads, they're also excluded from the coolest subforums and threads, and links dont open to them.
So what do you guiz say?
No more street vs sport!
No more my sensei fought in teh kumite!
No more you lack honour and respect!
No more...chi!
Who's with me?
Me wearing one of these?
Interesting nonetheless.Things about Jits: How do Armbar 2.0

Well, I am also doing the Judo, thereby I avoid the blue star :bootyshak,plus the blue start is a little bit morbid don't you think, or is it just me as a "responsible" German who sees some similarities here?
Edit: people already beat me to it.Sometimes you lose and sometimes the other guy wins.
At this point I don't owe anybody an explenation.

Hrm. How about '**** your mother'?
Maybe instead we should be eliminating all the useless posters who make 5 threads in one day that have no real merit worth a debate.

Rule differences between the CFL and NFL
Canada and the United States that share a lot in common but still differ in quirky but meaningful ways. This, too, goes for their two respective brands of football.
Below is a list of 16 differences from the NFL to the CFL. Some of them you're probably already aware of, some of them you aren't, and some of them are fake. No peeking at the fake rules until you get to the bottom, eh?
1. Twelve men on a team. The additional man is a back who is an eligible receiver
2. The defense must line up one yard off the line of scrimmage
3. Each team gets one re-do play per game
4. There are three downs instead of four to achieve 10 yards
5. Field is 65 yards wide compared to 53 1/3
6. Field is 110 yards long
7. End Zones are 20 yards deep
8. Holding the opponent scoreless on three consecutive possessions grants a team one extra timeout per half
9. Twenty second play clock after referee signal
10. Line of scrimmage for a convert is the 25 yard line
11. A gain of 40 yards or more allows a team a first-and-5 on its next snap instead of a first-and-10
12. A fumbled ball may be kicked in any direction by either team
13.If a kicked ball goes out of bounds it is awarded to the team that did not kick it
14. A fumbled ball, which goes out of bounds, is awarded to the team who last touched it in bounds
15.It's not grounding if the ball crosses the line of scrimmage even if there is not a wide receiver there
16. All eligible receivers can be in motion prior to the snap. Receivers on the line of scrimmage can move up and down the line of scrimmage
Allow Trey Wingo to explain:
And, in case you haven't figured it out yet, rules three, eight and 11 are fake. Very, very fake.
Kirby Smart: Smartphones, constant recruiting are "the death of college coaches"
Nick Saban rarely lets his assistants speak to the media, and it's a damn shame because his defensive coordinator dropped more honest, compelling information in an 11-minute radio interview than most of his peers do in an entire year. Speaking with Sports Radio 680 The Fan in Atlanta, Kirby Smart opened up on the constant grind that recruiting at the highest of levels has become in 2015, and the toll it takes on those that do it.
"We're recruiting non-stop. At least in pro ball they've got rules, they can't be around their players. For us, it really never stops, recruiting, but at least the football stops," Smart said. "That cell phone you've got, the smartphones, are the death of college coaches. Every college coach I talk to won't say it on record but everyone's thinking, 'Should I go to the league?' Because you don't have the same requirements; the hours are different. Recruiting is non-stop."
After a host asked Smart to clarify his point on smartphones and how that relates to coaching in the NFL versus college football, Smart said, "You can put it away. In pro ball they've got all the stuff going with the collective bargaining agreement where you can't do certain things. You can only be out there a certain amount of time. For us, it's non-stop. I've got recruits that will call, text, do certain things in the middle of the night and I'm thinking, 'I'm with my family.' You've got to dedicate time to that or you can't do it."
He continued: "I get a direct message on Twitter, 'Coach I'm coming to Tuscaloosa in a week.' I'm thinking, 'Well, I'm not going to be there. I'm on vacation.' I've got to find somebody that will cover up and spend time with them, because if you don't somebody will. That's the part I say college coaches are always looking to go because if you're not a niche recruiter, as you get older or you get less active as a recruiter, you become less valuable."
All this begs the question: why do it? After three national titles, an entire roster of recruits in the NFL and a bank account full of zeros, how has Alabama continued recruiting like it's January 2007? What keeps the hamster in Smart's head spinning that wheel when a recruit sends a DM at 12:30 at night? Two words: Nick Saban. "Every day you're behind in recruiting with him. We're never ahead. We might think we're ahead but he makes sure we understand that, 'Hey, we're way behind, why aren't we doing this, has this kid been here, how many kids have been here in a five-hour radius, why aren't they here, what's the reason, top players in the country need to get here.' It's constant. And you always feel like it's fourth-and-1."
Smart went on to shed light on Alabama's Sugar Bowl loss to Ohio State, saying the Crimson Tide never felt like they had a handle on defending Cardale Jones and company, even with a 21-6 first-half lead in hand. He said Jones's inexperience turned into an advantage because Alabama didn't have tape of him in the running game, and his arm strength surpassed that of Braxton Miller or J.T. Barrett, allowing Ohio State to get the ball to its speedy wide receivers – Devin Smith in particular – in ways it hadn't before. "We were leading, but we weren't leading," Smart said. "We had not slowed them down. We had two red area stops which could have been 14, we had a turnover, we stripped the ball, we had not slowed them down. It's 21-6 and I'm thinking it could be 21-21, and then they scored right before the half, which we thought was deadly. They had a good two-minute drive and scored, and I knew we were in trouble." Ohio State scored on three straight possessions over the second and third quarters – driving a combined 223 yards on 24 plays, to turn a 21-6 deficit into a 27-21 lead, and Steve Millers' 41-yard pick six with 3:21 left in the third quarter gave the Buckeyes a 34-21 edge it would not relinquish.
Ever the driver, though, Saban found a way to turn Alabama's upset loss into a building block by bringing in former Ohio State offensive coordinator and current Houston head coach Tom Herman a blow-by-blow tutorial on how he beat Alabama.
"I'll tell you the best thing we did — and I give coach Saban a lot of credit — we went directly to [Herman]. … We said, 'Hey, we want to meet with you. You know us better than anybody. You spent four weeks getting ready for us. What's our tendencies? What do we do wrong? What do you think? And he was just honest with us. He told us what he thought, and it was very valuable for us."
First I'm gonna pull this bus, then I'll tell you where I'm going to play.??.
Sitting at a table with multiple hats is pretty boring; but I can't get into this latest fad with recruits teaming up with outlets to do shock videos to announce their "commitment".
The latest version of, "Really?" comes compliments of Bleacher Report and an offensive lineman named Parker Boudreaux. In the video which you can see here (B/R doesn't allow embedding of their videos), the high school athlete does some lifting and then walks out and pulls a school bus forward before revealing that he intends to play at Notre Dame in the future.
I can only imagine the phone call from Brian Kelly, "Parker, we're so excited that you will be playing here…What's that?…Oh, you plan to announce it via Bleacher Report. Ok, sure, have fun….Um, did you say a made for internet video in which you will pull a bus…Hmm, you sure you like that idea? Ok then, have fun." [hangs up]… [opens office door]…[walks down the hall to the offensive staff room]…"Well, you guys aren't going to believe this one…"
Whatever floats your boat man. Whatever.
As a coach, what do you say to a player after disaster strikes?
All Laura Bassett wanted to do was make a play. Defending a threat in the 92nd minute of a tie game in Wednesday's Women's World Cup semifinal, Bassett attempted to clear a pass out of the English box and into the stands behind her team's goal.
Instead, disaster struck.
The soccer gods saw Bassett's attempt to potentially save the game and instead turned the forces of space and time against her, as the final whistle blew just seconds later, ending the game in cruel and unusual fashion.
In looking for a football equivalent, Bassett's own goal combined the "how in the world is this happening" trainwreck factor of Baylor's 1999 loss to UNLV in which Bears head coach Kevin Steele, leading 24-21 with eight seconds to play, eschewed the victory formation for a shot at an exclamation point touchdown, only to see his roll of the dice backfire in the worst way possible…
… combined with the stakes of Scott Norwood's missed field goal to lose Super Bowl XXV.
As a coach, what do you say in this situation? How do you put back together a heart, a mind, a psyche that seconds earlier was shattered into ten thousand pieces? What do you say to someone that just sentenced themselves to a lifetime of "own goal" autocomplete Google searches, who knows how many of "Oh, were you the one…" interactions with strangers, of a life lived as the Bill Buckner of a nation that cares about soccer more than Boston cares about baseball?
For his part, here's what England manager Mark Sampson had to say: "I do want to state straight away Laura Bassett's name is on that score sheet, but she's epitomised this tournament. She didn't deserve that but she'll be looked upon as a hero (for her previous performances for England). That's what people will remember," later telling his players, "it's OK to cry. They left everything on the field. They couldn't give anything more. They didn't deserve that. We came to this tournament as underdogs and the weight of a nation on our back. I'm just so proud of them. They've really inspired the nation back home. They deserve to go back home as heroes."
UTSA is the latest program to create a hype video for their big fellas
Though skill players account for one out of every four players on the field at a given moment, they selfishly claim nearly 80 percent of the hype video clips. This injustice simply cannot stand.
Thankfully, UTSA has stepped in to tip the scale back in the big guys' favor. As if they needed any help.
The Roadrunners created a highlight video devoted solely to their defensive linemen, complete with glowing praise from Arizona's Rich Rodriguez.

EarthSky's meteor shower guide for 2015
Everything you need to know: Perseid meteor shower
If you're up early, and have an unobstructed view to the east, be sure to look in that direction in the hour before dawn. You might find a familiar figure – a constellation that is always returning to the sky around this time of year. It's the beautiful constellation Orion the Hunter – recently behind the sun as seen from our earthly vantage point – now ascending once more in the east before sunrise.
The Hunter appears each northern winter as a mighty constellation arcing across the south during the evening hours. Many people see it then, and notice it, because the pattern of Orion's stars is so distinctive.
But, at the crack of dawn in late summer, you can spot Orion in the east. Thus Orion has been called the ghost of the shimmering summer dawn. The Hunter rises on his side, with his three Belt stars – Mintaka, Alnitak and Alnilam – pointing straight up.
Also, notice the star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus the Bull. Aldebaran is the brightest star in Taurus the Bull. It's said to be the Bull's fiery red eye. See the V-shaped pattern of stars around Aldebaran? This pattern represents the Bull's face. In skylore, Orion is said to be holding up a great shield . . . fending off the charging Bull. Can you imagine this by looking at the chart at right? It's easy to imagine when you look at the real sky on a late summer morning.
The return of Orion and Taurus to the predawn sky happens in late July or early August every year.
Bottom line: In the wee hours before daybreak, look for Orion the Hunter: Ghost of the summer dawn.

Rare Plain Edge Judd-105 1839 Gobrecht Dollar, PR651839 P$1 Name Omitted, Judd-105 Restrike, Pollock-117, Low R.7, PR65 NGC.
Design. Die Alignment III (center of Liberty's head opposite the N in ONE). Christian Gobrecht's Seated Liberty design, stars around the periphery, C. GOBRECHT F. almost completely removed from the base. On the reverse, after a coin turn the eagle flies level in a starless field. Struck in silver with a plain edge.
Commentary. One of the most interesting and significant discoveries in the Gobrecht dollar series in the past few years was when John Dannreuther discovered in August 2007 that C. GOBRECHT F. had been removed from the base of the rock on which Liberty is seated. In more than 170 years of collecting these popular coins, no one else had apparently noticed. It is even more curious when one reads the statement by George Escol Sellers who stated that Gobrecht "had taken the inexcusable liberty of placing his name on the die, which became conspicuous on the coin, and the coinage had to be stopped until it could be obliterated." (Emphasis ours). The discovery of this obliteration also gives a guide to the striking sequence for the various dates of Gobrecht dollars. Most of Gobrecht's imprint was removed from the 1839 coins, but faint traces of the letter bottoms can still be seen. On the 1838 coins an even more vigorous effacement was done, and virtually nothing remains. The conclusion is that the 1839 dollars were actually struck prior to those dated 1838.
Original 1839 Gobrecht (Judd-104) dollars are believed to have been struck in December 1839. The rare restrikes, such as this coin, were undoubtedly struck decades later. While there is no documentation to support this, the texture of the coin certainly does. Unlike the Gobrecht dollars struck in the 1830s, this piece has mirrorlike fields that one would expect from a regular-issue coin struck in proof format from the 1850s through the 1870s. This piece is similar to the Queller 1838 Gobrecht dollar. That is to say, it is not the standard issue one would expect for the year. The vast majority of 1838 Gobrechts are Judd-84. Likewise, the standard 1839 encountered is a Judd-104. In both cases, he opted for the much-rarer plain-edge version. Approximately six to 10 examples are known of the Judd-105, compared to the 60 to 75 Judd-104 coins that are believed extant today. As with other Judd-105 dollars, this piece shows the same reverse diagnostics: a die crack through the tops of MERIC, NITE, into the field from the bottoms of AR, and a pronounced die spur on the right side of the D in UNITED.
Physical Description. As mentioned above, the fields are extraordinarily deep in their mirrored reflectivity. Each side retains much brilliance, with a slight overlay of color. The obverse shows just the slightest hint of pinkish-gold, while the reverse is notably deeper in hue and more varied, with occasional dabs of light blue. A few tiny planchet flakes can be seen in the obverse fields, but strong magnification is required. Otherwise, there are no mentionable interruptions in the surfaces on either side of this magnificent and rare Gobrecht dollar. In the Somerset catalog, this coin was listed as 411.9 grains, with a diameter of 1.504 inches. NGC Census: 2 in PR65, 1 finer. PCGS Population: One in PR65, none finer (12/08)

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Get Back
And about the pandora lyrics, yes, they're from the "Let It Be" album version. The version we're listening to off the single 45 rpm release.
Uh...perhaps .
But why abandon the descriptive, analytical approach used for music and simply give words a vague seal of approval.
And seriously: It's a McCartney song! The lyrics aren't really very interesting at all. (Especially when you consider that the "great lyrics" designation doesn't seem to turn up on those far more subtle, clever, evocative -- if often sardonic -- Steely Dan songs.)

The Indiana State Police reported a single-vehicle crash that occurred Sunday in Adams County in which a Decatur female passenger died and four others hospitalized.
A preliminary investigation conducted by Master Trooper Kurt Jack indicated that at around 4 p.m., a 1998 Ford Expedition driven by 47-year-old Tyler Cowans of Decatur was traveling southbound on US 27, south of County Road 850 N.
The left rear wheel assembly came off of the vehicle, causing Cowans to lose control. The Expedition traveled off the road and into the west-side ditch where the SUV began to roll. Cowan, who was not seatbelted, suffered head and internal injuries and was transported to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, according to a report. His condition is not known at this time. Cowan's front seat passenger, who was not seatbelted was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene by the Adams County coroner, according to the report. Her name was not released.
Three other passengers in the vehicle were also injured and transported to Lutheran Hospital: Mariah Cowans, 19, of Decatur with internal injuries; Rick Stults, 18, of Geneva with internal injuries and Jaiden Cowans, 1, with internal injuries. The conditions of these three are not known.
The Adams County Sheriff Department and the Decatur Police and Fire departments assisted with the crash, and the crash's cause remains under investigation.
