| Valoo's Attendant
Sage of Earth[1]

|Era of the Great Sea
Medli is a young Rito from The Wind Waker. She is the apprentice attendant of Valoo, the patron deity of the Rito.[2][3] She's close friends with Prince Komali and is always watching and worrying over him. Medli is known to be kind-hearted and responsible, and when it comes to helping others, she is not afraid to take on challenges and other obstacles that might get in her way despite not being able to fly too well.[4] Medli accompanies Link into two dungeons in order to fulfill her job as attendant of Valoo and as the Sage of Earth, respectively.
Even during her free time, Medli can be seen and heard trying to improve her skills as Valoo's attendant by practicing her most valued possession: her harp.[5] She's also notable as one of the few characters the player can control other than Link, and as such, plays a crucial role in The Wind Waker.
Valoo's Apprentice
Some time before The Wind Waker, Medli was chosen by Komali's Grandmother to become her apprentice and successor as Valoo's attendant.[6] Komali's grandmother saw the harp that Medli was carrying and had sensed what destiny had in store for the young girl, but kept quiet about it, instead using her position to teach Medli all that she had to know until the day fate would call her.[7]
Unfortunately, Komali's grandmother died and Medli became the new attendant of Valoo.[8] However, unlike the former attendant of the Sky Spirit, Medli could not fully understand Valoo's language, and as such, she was not too confident in her abilities.[3]
All was well until Gohma appeared in the Dragon Roost Cavern and started tormenting Valoo's tail, causing him to go into a fit of rage. Valoo's home became inaccessible and Medli could no longer fulfill her job as his attendant. Moreover, since Medli was not as knowledgeable with the Sky Spirit's language, she could not truly comprehend why Valoo had begun to go berserk. Due to this, Medli feels it's partly her fault that Prince Komali has shut himself in and has lost his confidence for wanting to go and ask Valoo for his pair of wings, for if Medli had possessed some of Komali's grandmother's strength, the prince of the Rito would have more faith in himself.[9] Shortly after, Link arrives on Dragon Roost Island and is asked to meet with Medli so that the young hero can give Prince Komali a letter from his father.[10] After handing over the letter, Medli in turn asks Link to meet her at the entrance of Dragon Roost Cavern once he has spoken with Prince Komali.[11] Link complies with Medli's favor and goes to meet her at the entrance of Dragon Roost Cavern, where she expresses her blame about Prince Komali's behavior towards Link.[12] Moreover, she asks that Link help her reach Valoo by giving her a lift to the entrance of the cavern.[13] Medli successfully gets some wind under her wings and reaches the entrance, where she thanks Link and asks that Link looks out after Prince Komali if anything is to happen to her as she climbs Dragon Roost to meet with Valoo.[14] Just before she departs, she gives the young hero an empty Bottle, and wishes good luck to the both of them. [15]
Link promptly follows Medli into the cavern after he hears that several Rito saw her get kidnapped by monsters.[16] After ascending Dragon Roost Cavern, Link finds her locked up in a cage high atop the mountain where she is being guarded by two Bokoblins. Link gets rid of them and frees Medli, who informs him that a creature is tormenting Lord Valoo's tail. She asks him save the Sky Spirit and gives him the Grappling Hook to help him reach Valoo, which is what she used to get to the top of Dragon Roost.[17] After this, Medli takes off to get help from the other Rito.
After saving Valoo from Gohma, Link, Medli and Komali meet on the beach of Dragon Roost Island. Medli supports Komali in giving his most precious possession, Din's Pearl, to Link. As Link didn't understand ancient Hylian, Medli kindly translates Valoo's words of gratitude to Link. Coincidentally, she also gives Link her interpretation of Valoo's words, thus hinting where he should go next.[18] They rather abruptly say goodbye to each other when Komali runs away to obtain his pair of wings from Valoo and Medli felt she needed to go with him.[19][20]
Sage of Earth
Afterward, Medli goes back to studying for her job as Valoo's attendant, practicing her harp on one of the cliffs of Dragon Roost Island.[21][5] Once Link meets Laruto, the former Sage of Earth before Ganondorf murdered her, she informs the young hero that he must look for the one carries the same sacred instrument as her, a harp, and play the Earth God's Lyric, the melody that will awaken the new Sage of Earth.[22] Link returns to Dragon Roost Island where, upon finding Medli, she reveals that Prince Komali has been asking all about his adventures, expressing her pride in him yet also sadness that Komali is now doing things without her guidance.[23] As instructed by Laruto, Link conducts the "Earth God's Lyric" as Medli plays along with her harp, which causes the young girl to faint.[24] She meets Laruto in her dreams, where the two of them play the sacred song. Realizing her new duty, Medli wakes up as the new Sage of Earth, overwhelmed by the fact that she can actually do something to help the world.[25] She asks that Link take her to the Earth Temple, quietly and quickly, for she wishes for Prince Komali to not take notice of her departure and to just remember her as a simple attendant.[26]
Once at the Earth Temple, the King of Red Lions advises Link and Medli how to progress through the temple, resulting in one of the very rare times in a Zelda game that the player can control a character other than Link.[27] The basic setup in the temple is that Medli closely follows Link unless she can't for whatever reason or because Link commands her to stay still. By pressing the R Button, Link can call Medli to him. By using the Command Melody, Link gains control over Medli and can use her ability of flight to reach places otherwise inaccessible. Also, Medli can use her harp to change the direction of rays of light, which often is part of a more complex "light puzzle." Medli can also be used by Link to reach certain areas. Though Medli is not yet proficient at flying, she can carry Link across gaps for a short amount of time.
Link temporarily leaves Medli to fight Jalhalla, but she joins him again after the defeat of the giant Poe to fulfill her duty as the Sage of Earth. Link conducts the Earth God's Lyric for Medli as she plays the song on her harp. As they play it, Laruto temporarily appears next to Medli to play along. This restores some of the power of the Master Sword, to which the young Rito takes notice and urges Link to go to the Wind Temple. Medli stays inside the Earth Temple continuing to pray so that the power to repel evil can stay intact the Master Sword.[28] As Link departs back to the Great Sea, Medli asks of Link to watch over Prince Komali for her.[29]
Medli appears for the final time during the ending scene. Together with Tetra's crew, Aryll, Prince Komali and Makar, she picks up Link and Tetra after their battle with Ganondorf.

|A young Rito girl who is an attendant to the Dragon Spirit, Valoo, on the island of Dragon Roost. She is kind and cheerful. When Valoo becomes enraged, she attempts to reach the dragon so that Komali can get his scale. Despite the violent winds, she refuses to give up and battles on through exhaustion.
Sticker Information

|Effect in The Subspace Emissary
|Usable by
|The Wind Waker
|[Leg] - Attack +9
- The symbol shown on Medli's apron is similar to that of Nayru's Pearl and Zora's Sapphire. The connection between the design on her apron and these key objects aids in the fact that the Rito tribe actually evolved from the Zora.
- Medli has difficulty flying, as she can only fly small distances in decent conditions and had to use the Grappling Hook to progress through Dragon Roost Cavern. This could be connected to the fact that she is the only Rito, besides the cheiftain, who does not appear to have wings hanging from her sleeves.
- Medli acts in a similar way to Princess Ruto in Ocarina of Time, requiring Link to carry her when necessary (although Ruto needed to be carried constantly). Like Ruto, Medli doesn't open doors herself when Link escorts her. However, Link can "call" Medli to have her follow him, and also use the Command Melody to control her, if they are in the same room. These circumstances only occur in the Earth Temple.
- When Link defeats Ganon, Prince Komali and Medli are both seen on Tetra's Ship. It can be assumed that they have reunited and that Komali has learned about her role as the Sage of Earth.
Due to The Wind Waker being heavily associated with music, it is possible that Medli's name could be a pun on "Medley" or "Melody". Medli's name sounds like the Sanskrit name "Medini," which means "earth." Similarly, Makar's name sounds like the Hawaiian name "Makani," meaning "wind."
Medli's image from the Sliding Puzzle available at the Private Oasis
- ↑ "Just now, a sage spoke to me. She spoke so gently... There's something... something that I must do. Link... Thanks to you, I've been awakened to the knowledge that I'm a sage of the Earth Temple." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "I'm an attendant to the great sky spirit, Valoo. My name is Medli." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 "I may be just an apprentice attendant, but I can understand some of the great Valoo's language. I'm not exactly bursting with confidence, but..." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Oh, please? I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important! It's just that...I'm not that good at flying yet..." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 "Well, I'd better continue practicing so that I can be useful around here, too! Performing music like this is an important duty of an attendant." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "See, Prince Komali's grandmother was the great Valoo's former attendant. She was an amazing woman. I was honored to have her as my teacher... She was kind and brave, and unsurpassed in her dealings with the great Valoo." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "This instrument is called one of fate's tools. Prince Komali's grandmother saw me carrying it one day and called out to me to stop. She'd seen my fate in the curves of the instrument, you see. She eventually became my teacher, and that's how I became the attendant you see before you today. So, now you understand why I need to hurry and improve my skills, so that I may help the aerie." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "You're Link, right? Oh, me? I'm an attendant to the great sky spirit, Valoo. My name is Medli. Well, to tell the truth... I'm not an attendant quite yet. I'm actually still studying to be one." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "I'm not yet worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her. If only I'd possessed some of her strength, I'm sure Prince Komali would have felt more secure." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "I have something I wish for you to give to my son. A young girl named Medli is holding it for me. Would you find her and take it?" — Rito Chieftain (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "When you meet Prince Komali, please don't get offended by his manner. He has no bad intentions, I promise. By the way, ummmm... Listen, Link... I have a small favor I'd like to ask of you... Could you please come to the entrance of Dragon Roost Cavern later?... I'll explain everything then." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Hey, you actually came! I'm really sorry for bringing you to such a dangerous place. I had to! [...] Tell me, how was Prince Komali? Oh... That doesn't sound right... Not at all... I may be partially to blame for the bad turn that Prince Komali's taken... See, Prince Komali's grandmother was the great Valoo's former attendant. She was an amazing woman. I was honored to have her as my teacher... She was kind and brave, and unsurpassed in her dealings with the great Valoo. I'm not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her. If only I'd possessed some of her strength, I'm sure Prince Komali would have felt more secure." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Link, I'm sorry to ask this... but I need your help! I want to go to the small shrine that's near the peak of Dragon Roost, but that ledge over there is so high... If I could get some wind under my wings, I'm sure I could get up there. So... Will you help me?" — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Oh, thank you! I think now I'll be able to climb Dragon Roost and meet with the great Valoo! Don't worry, I'll be fine! I may just be an apprentice attendant, but I can understand some of the great Valoo's language. I'm not exactly bursting with confidence, but... Look, if anything happens to me... Please look after Prince Komali!" — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "This is all I have to give you. I know it's not much, but please take it! Oh, and please don't tell anyone that I'm climbing Dragon Roost! It'll be our secret, OK? Well, good luck!... To both of us." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Just now, some fellow told me that he saw some unfamiliar creatures near Dragon Roost Cavern... He said that they grabbed a girl that looked like Medli... ...Which is odd, because I know Medli can't fly well enough to get to the Dragon Roost Cavern entrance by herself." — Quill (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Link! You came to rescue me! Oh, thank you! I have to tell you what I found out! This is terrible!... Some creature is doing awful things to the great Valoo's tail! That's why he's so angry! The great Valoo's tail hangs down into the room right below here. There's got to be something in there... I wonder if those mean monsters who captured me have something to do with it... We've got to do something! Now! Before it's too late! I'll go and tell everyone what's happening! Here, Link! Use this to get out of here! It's what I used to get this far. It's a device we Rito used before we evolved wings. Here, Link. Climb up on that little ledge over there, so I can show you something. Grab this branch with the Grappling Hook and you can swing over there to get out of this area! Don't you worry about me, Link. Get going!" — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Use the wind god's...wind? That's what he said, but I don't understand. I wonder what it means? The wind god's wind... I wonder if what he's talking about has anything to do with the Wind Shrine that's through that tunnel... Oh, I almost forgot! The great Valoo also names you, Link, a true hero. I agree with him. As far as we're concerned, Link, you really ARE a hero!" — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Well, I'm going to go and visit Valoo! I'll come and see you sometime with the best pair of wings ever!" — Prince Komali (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Hey! Prince Komali! Thanks so much, Link. See you again someday!" — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Master Link, Medli is busy with her attendant studies." — Akoot (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "The song you just conducted is one which will open the eyes of the new sage and awaken within that sage the melody that will carry our prayers to the gods." — Laruto (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Oh, Link! You're OK! You know, Prince Komali's been asking me all about your adventures, Link. I can rest easy now that I've seen you safe and sound with my own eyes. Prince Komali's turned into a fine young adult, hasn't he? Recently, he's even begun doing things on his own, without my guidance.... Every conversation still ends up centered on you, though, Link. Watching Prince Komali grow up fills me with pride... but it makes me a little sad, as well... I wonder if this is how a mother feels... Oh, but just listen to me go on! How weird I must sound! Hee hee..." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Hmm... What a mysterious song... It sounds so... familiar. It's almost as if something I've forgotten is trying to be remembered... Oh... I feel..." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Just now, a sage spoke to me. She spoke so gently... There's something...something that I must do. Link... Thanks to you, I've been awakened to the knowledge that I'm a sage of the Earth Temple. There's actually something that I can do to help this world. It's incredible..." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Link, please... You must take me to the Earth Temple. We must hurry and wake the power to repel evil that sleeps within the Master Sword. Let's go now, quickly and quietly. Oh, Komali... I just want him to remember me as a simple attendant..." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Medli, listen carefully to what I am about to tell you. The temple ahead is the nest of an evil creature... the same creature that stole the life of your predecessor, the sage. It is a dark and frightening place. That is why, if you do nothing else, then at least do this... If Link comes near you and presses R to call you, then be silent, and follow closely behind him. And if Link presses A, allow him to lift you, and if need be, fly and carry him through the air. And Link... If Medli gets stuck and cannot continue in the temple, use the Wind Waker to conduct the song you learned in the Tower of the Gods. Do you understand? Link, protect Medli. And Medli, protect Link. The power to repel evil shall surely be returned to the Master Sword!" — King of Red Lions (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "Link, the power to repel evil is not yet fully awakened. To complete the awakening of the Master Sword, you must go to the Wind Temple for one more prayer. Now, Link... Step into the light behind you and return to the surface. Your next duty is to find the sage of the Wind Temple." — Medli (The Wind Waker)
- ↑ "I will remain here and continue to pray. You must hurry!... And Link! Um... About Prince Komali... Please watch over him for me." — Medli (The Wind Waker)

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris had weak support in a poll released Thursday that includes the three little-known entries in the Republican U.S. Senate primary.Only 37 percent of respondents said they favored Harris, compared to 13 percent for Will McBride, 4 percent for LeRoy Collins Jr. and 2 percent for Peter Monroe. Her three opponents all entered the race May 12, which was the last day to get on the Sept. 5 primary ballot.More respondents - 43 percent - didn't choose a candidate. In a head-to-head with Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson, Harris trailed Nelson 58-25.The poll was conducted by Quinnipiac University May 12-22. It surveyed 1,086 registered voters and had an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The poll surveyed 424 Republican voters about the primary, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points. "Given how well known Congresswoman Harris is among Republicans and how well thought of she has been by them, it is somewhat surprising that she would only get 37 percent support," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the school's polling institute. "The fact that 63 percent of Republicans say they prefer either the other three or are undecided is remarkable."

We absolutely loved our stay at Peter's. The house was so comfortable with all the small touches thought about. Peter welcomed us and had thoughtfully put the air con on and beers in the fridge, which was much appreciated after a 7 hour drive. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. It was close to everything with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. The cleaning lady even took care of our washing for us. The pool area was heavenly, beautifully clean and cool. We loved it there and left very reluctantly. Thanks Peter!
Peter was an awesome host. He checked with us daily to offer his services if needed.
We were well taken care of.
The description of the place was accurate and that pleased us a lot.
It was great to be walking distance to public transportation, local supermarket, restaurant, and shops.
We had family come in to surprise me so we had to move to a bigger house.
The experience can not compare to Peter's place.
The ambiance is perfect.
Thank you Peter.
Peter was a very welcoming and excellent host during our stay in Manuel Antonio. He went out of his way to help us on many levels (helped us to book our shuttle back to San Jose) and gave us numerous great tips. He lived on site so he was very easy to communicate with and always answered the phone. The place was perfect for Manuel Antonio. It is outside of the busy small town of Quepos, up in the hills with some beautiful views and literally tucked away into it's own little jungle nook. The pool was gorgeous and the grounds in general were stunning. The cottage was VERY clean, spacious and had absolutely everything you need for a great stay. There were also two very friendly dogs who hung out around the cottage that I loved. Would definitely recommend this place to a family, group of friends, or a couple. The location is perfect- right on the bus line with a 7 min ride to the National park. Overall we couldn't have asked for more!
Staying at Pete's Place was a wonderful experience for me and my wife. The location is superb for getting to the beach, park, and nearby amazing restaurants. Pete is extremely professional and his place is absolutely lovely.
We absolutely loved staying at Pete's Place. It was a cozy little getaway for 2 surrounded by lush plants and exotic flowers everywhere. There was an awesome pool just a short walk down the path which we definitely took advantage of its relaxing solitude. We probably saw more wildlife by the pool than on our whole vacation. Pete was also so accommodating and welcoming once we arrived. He was so friendly and helpful making our trip to Costa Rica a breeze! We definitely recommend staying here. Thanks for everything Pete, we hope to see you again! - John & Keli
We had a great time at Pete's place. The home was very clean, and there was actually a housekeeper who came daily to change the garbage, make the bed, etc. They even changed the sheets once during our 3 day stay and did a dish that we left in the sink! The gardens outside were beautiful and felt like we were walking through the jungle whenever we went outside.
The first night we arrived it was pouring and thunderstorms out and as a result we did see a few geckos in the house, but they stayed on the walls and ran away when you got near so it wasn't much of a problem. There were also the occasional ant found but like I said, we were in a jungle, so its to be expected.
Pete was extremely friendly and offered us lots of help during our trip. We even ran into him one day at breakfast one morning and he came up to us and greeted us like we were old friends.
Overall we really enjoyed our time and were glad we stayed! Thanks again for a great place.
Pete has been a very helpful host so we did find our way around very easily. He is a very sympathetic and easy person. Everything was perfectly organized and went smoothly. The house is perfectly located half way between Quepos and Manuel Antonio NP. Shops, bus stop and restaurants within walking distance. It is a place you can relax despite being right in the middle. A cosy and clean place. And the private pool is just fantastic and just what you need in this area! Thank you Pete for welcoming us!
About the Host, Peter
Over the years, I have met some wonderful people here and made friendships that will last forever.
I'm a Leo, I like people, I empathetic and I love to laugh.
Living here has given me the opportunity to be one with nature, spend time at the beach and hang out with other like minded folks who came, fell in love and stayed in one of the special places on the planet.
I'm a reader and fiction works for me (Lee Child, with Jack Reacher are favorites).
I like to meet my guests but then stay out of their way unless needed, they are not here to see me, they are here to see Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans, Dolphins, Whales and all that Costa Rica has to offer.
Did I mention I like kids, and they seem to like me.
I guess you could say I'm a people person , and I'm looking forward to meeting you.
Pura Vida is the motto here, Pure Life which basically means live in the moment.

Next season's Ravens schedule already is set, to an extent. They know whom and where they're playing, just not when yet.
In addition to the two games against each member of the AFC North, the Ravens — like the rest of the division — will also face the teams in the AFC East and NFC North. In addition, as the winner of their division, the Ravens take on the other division champs from the AFC, the Texans (home) and Broncos (away).
The Ravens can hope the schedule-makers are kind when it comes to their road games. Early-season trips to Buffalo, Chicago and Denver would be preferable, as would a December visit to Miami. (The Ravens also face a road game with the Lions, but their stadium has a roof, so the weather won't matter.)
Ravens fans will get to see the dancing feet of Adrian Peterson when the Vikings visit M&T Bank Stadium, along with the passing mastery of the Patriots' Tom Brady and the Packers' Aaron Rodgers on their trips to Baltimore. And they can boo or cheer the reappearance of Rex Ryan on the sideline — assuming he still has a job — when his Jets come to town.
Not counting something happening to Ryan, next season the Ravens will face three teams with new coaches.
Jumping ahead to Ravens' 2013 schedule

Comments about Tony Lama Women's 3R Buckaroo Western Boots:
I love these boots. I play bluegrass, and wanted something that was stylish and comfortable on stage. They are also really nice for wearing casually to add that special kick to a casual outfit. I have gotten many compliments and envious looks.
Tony Lama doesn't offer enough boots in a C width, that match the brand's offerings of both functional and good looking Western style boots. I hope that they add more to the product line, as are offered by Justin and competitors like Ariat.
I was very pleased that I was able to buy these boot online (Boot Barn in San Martin doesn't offer in their store), and thanks to the great lessons in fit that I got from the local store, I was able to order the size that fit in Justin and Ariat and found the 7-1/2 C fit perfectly with a lighter weight sock. The C width is a little narrower in the round toe than the square toe Ariats I own, but by adjusting the sock type I found a very comfortable fit. These boots can be worn for hours and remain very comfortable.

Enjoy a foraging walk through the New Forest on the hunt for mushrooms. A fascinating subject and the perfect autumn activity.
This Autumn we are offering half day guided fungi forays to give you a great insight into what to look for and what to avoid. Its worth bearing in mind that there are over 2,000 different mushrooms so identifying them is a real art. We will give you some guiding principles and start you on your path to foraging food.
November 17th | November 24th | December 1st
Each walk starts at 10.00 and we will let you know the starting point the week before . It will always be a New Forest Car Park around the Beaulieu, Lyndhurst area. Each place is £25 for Adults and £20 for over 12's. Bring a basket with you as you will be able to collect a small quantity of what ever we are lucky enough to find. At the moment there are lots of "chicken in the woods" (seen above) and later in October the parasol mushrooms (below) will be a great addition to your pot.

Dangerous ColdJanuary 6th, 2014 at 12:09 am by Pamela Gardner under Weather
A wind chill warning goes into effect for Indiana 1am Monday to 7pm Tuesday. Temperatures are already in the single digits with subzero wind chills. It just gets worse overnight as a strong northwest wind gusts up to 45 mph. Tonight's lows reach the negative teens, with wind chill values between -25 and -45º. This means frostbite can occur in less than 10 minutes with any exposed skin. High temps remain below zero for highs Monday and even Tuesday.
A winter storm warning continues for most of central Indiana until 1am Monday. A blizzard warning continues for extreme north-central Indiana until 7am Monday. Conditions all across the state are near-blizzard conditions though. Blizzard definition from the NWS: 35 mph sustained winds or more with visibility of a quarter mile or less for a period of at least 3 hours.
Snow totals are in. Indianapolis has 11.4″ of snow…this makes today the 2nd snowiest calendar day in Indy history. The record is still 12.5″ set on March 20, 1924. The maximum 24 hour snowfall total is 12.5″ set on March 24th and 25th in 1965. The last breath of snow is pushing through Indiana now and drier air is moving in. A few flurries linger for Monday's forecast. Some lake-effect snow is possible in northeastern Indiana Monday too.
The dangerous cold remains Monday and Tuesday. Temps increase by Wednesday to a high of 20º. Another snow system moves in Wednesday into Thursday. We could see some accumulation out of this one, but stay tuned.

DeLand, FL 32720
You have chosen to report the following comment for abusing our terms of service:
1. A cop was patrolling a high crime area in the middle of the night.
2. He observed a gentleman not wearing a seatbelt and attempted to stop him.
3. Man makes the decision to flee. (side note: when people flee it automatically raises the suspicion level of how dangerous they could be)
4. Cop does NOT chase due to safety concerns he radios the description of the vehicle.
5. Another cop in area spots vehicle and follows (not chases) for less than a minute. The speed is unreported.
6. Previous cop, still in area, comes to fellow officers aid (being that the potential danger increased exponentially when suspect ran)
7. A horrible accident happened that is under investigation. All facts not known.
NOW... I would like some responses to a few things.
-What suggests this is a racist white cop who ran over a black man on purpose?
-Especially if you live in that neighborhood/area... How are cops supposed to make the community better/safer if when they try they are accused of harassment or being racist.
-last but not least... If this is a big problem I would like to actually hear about some incidents of harassment... Based on race or not by the Deland Police Dept.
My main point is... Not matter what side you are on... This rush to judgement is making a lot of people look quite ignorant. As I stated earlier why does it have to be about the color of skin. Why can't it be an officer, trying to protect the community, who had an accident.
Please feel free to respond. I am open minded and want to hear opinions!
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?

Don't feed the men in the gray suits
December 10, 2013 - Harry Eagar
Shortly after I came to The Maui News in 1987, we had a story about a newlywed couple who stopped on the road to Hana to take pictures at a waterfall. Just like in the Charles Addams cartoon, the husband -- trying not to "cut off his wife's head" -- stepped back and over a cliff.
Details have faded, but as I recall he was killed.
A few weeks later, darned if it didn't happen again with another newlywed couple. This time, as I recall, the groom died and the bride, trying to climb down to him, fell and broke most of her bones but lived.
Does this happen all the time? I asked myself. But from that day to this, it has never happened again.
I bring up this ancient history because there have been two fatal shark attacks around Maui in the last few weeks. But if a tourist asks, does this happen all the time? the answer is no. There hadn't been a fatal shark bite anywhere in Hawaii since 2004.
That there were two, close together in time and space, is just a matter of the Law of Small Numbers. If you have a sample of three events over time X, then for sure at least twice as many will occur in one period as in the other. Or maybe it will be 3:0.
Of such arise panics of cancer clusters, shark attacks, tornadoes and a slew of non-events.
So I was surprised and pleased to read Rep. Kaniela Ing's blog post on sharks. He does not explicitly invoke the Law of Small Numbers but clearly he understands how it works:
"While the entire world averages about four shark attack fatalities a year, South Maui has had two in 2013 alone, accounting for both of Hawaii's only shark attack fatalities since 2004."
The real curiosity is in the menu. Of the first 100 documented shark attacks in Hawaii, not one involved a tourist. Now about half of them do.

Those in office don't know the balance of nature has been damaged and unrepairable. Nothing can bring back the way it was. Transplants come to Maui and overfish, kill more than their fair share for PROFIT. Money. Longlining, nets used now. Before Maui had Aku boats and now there are none. Used to catch aku one by one with long thick bamboo poles. Sharks have no food sources and will eventually eat man or woman.
Native Hawaiians kept the population under control. God's way of Zero population. Maui has too many people. Proof is the lack of water. Food shipped in, when upcountry used to be farmland. Politicians that only talk trash.
Dec-10-13 11:40 PM
George Balazs, who knows what there is to know about turtles, once told me he hoped the population would recover to levels so that some hunting could resume, restoring that cultural practice. The numbers must be getting close to that now.
I suspect the high number of incidents this year is just happenstance and expect it will not be high next year. But if it is, that would have some implications.
Dec-10-13 7:01 PM
So killing turtles will end shark attacks. I doubt that.
Same reason, get rid of certain drivers who drive recklessly. More car accidents than shark attacks. Car sighting of off Lahaina, accident by Pali. More moped riders get killed.
Tourist are "exceptional" and forget their common sense at home when they visit here. Many not born and raised here don't know what is what. Transplants think they are educated but lack ocean common sense.
Kill turtles and the food chain for sharks will change to man eating. Surf in high tide and one looks like a turtle. The ocean is full of sharks and humans know nothing about the balance of nature but to only make it worst.
Lack of common sense, gets one killed. I porgot, Lana'i only has few stoplights. They drive on Maui not knowing we have more than a few stoplights, here. No wonder get so many accidents. Drivers from off Island.
Dec-10-13 6:59 PM
Dec-10-13 3:49 PM
Good topic Harry. On Lana'i just talk to the divers and fishermen and most will tell you sea turtles are the reason. There are a lot more turtles swimming just off shore now a days. On Lana'i it is not unusual to see dozens of them at high tide along the beach known as "Shipwreck". Maybe its time we have a look at the turtle population also not only the grey suits.

A few tips on keeping our hedgehogs safe
Posted: March 14, 2014|
WITH the recent heavy rain, many hibernating hedgehogs have been drowned, which is very sad as there are so few of them left now.
Hedgehogs are considered the gardener's friend as they can help keep some garden pests under control.
The following advice should help to reduce some of the problems that they might encounter.
Bonfires: Use a proper incinerator or move the pile to be burnt just before setting light to it. This should ensure that no hedgehog has made a home in it.
Netting: Keep pea-netting a foot above the ground so hedgehogs don't get stuck.
Ponds: Provide escape routes, eg plastic coated wire over the side to make a ladder.
Drains: Keep drain holes securely covered.
Fences: Repair quickly fences that blow down or hedgehogs may make their nests underneath them. Make a hole in fences or walls so hedgehogs can come and go.
Strimmers: Always check for hedgehogs before starting.
Compost: Take care when turning the heap.
Slug Pellets: Use sparingly and pick up the dead and dying slugs and snails as soon as possible.
Sheds: Don't close doors which have been left open for some time without checking that there is no nesting hedgehog inside.
Dogs: Dogs will kill hedgehogs so take care when letting them out in the garden for their final patrol.
Feeding: You can provide food in a feeding station in a quiet area, for example, an upturned plastic box with a hole cut in it will keep cats and foxes from stealing it. Ensure a supply of fresh water – especially in hot weather – and leave a dish of cat or dog food. No bread and milk.

Video:Classic Pumpkin Piewith Heidi Dehncke-Fisher
One of fall's favorite recipes, pumpkin pie is the perfect dessert to top off hearty autumn dinners or holidays like Thanksgiving. Learn how to make classic pumpkin pie with a homemade pie crust.See Transcript
Transcript:Classic Pumpkin Pie
Hi, I'm Heidi Dehncke-Fisher and welcome to About.com Food. Today I am making the classic American favorite dessert for Thanksgiving - pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin Pie History
Pumpkins were plentiful when the settlers first came to America but it took a number of years for the pumpkin in a pie creation to actually make it to the holiday feast table.
Pumpkin Pie Ingredients
To make classic American pumpkin pie, you will need ingredients for both the crust and filling.
For the crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons cold water
For the filling:
- 2 eggs plus the yolk of a 3rd egg
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 (15 ounce) canned pumpkin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Make the Pumpkin Pie Crust
First we need to make the crust. You can also buy a pre-made crust if you prefer. Mix your flour and salt in a large bowl and work in your butter until a coarse crumbly mixture forms. Moisten flour with water and then shape your dough into a ball and flatten it a little.
Lightly flour your rolling surface and roll out dough to approximately 12 inches, larger than you 9" pie dish. A quick trick to placing dough into a pane accurately is to fold it into quarters and then unfold it on the pan and with the slight border pinch the top to make the classic looking piecrust, then set aside.
Mix the Pumpkin Pie Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine eggs, egg yolk, and brown sugar. Now add salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Gradually stir in cream. Stir in the pumpkin.
Bake the Pumpkin Pie
And now we can pour the filling into the pie shell. Bake for ten minutes in preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F, and bake for another 40 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set.
No holiday table is complete without this scrumptious desert favorite. Thanks for watching. To learn more visit us on the Web at food.about.com

Food experts have predicted foraging will be a major 2014 food trend. Naturally, restaurants that serve up dishes accented by wild local ingredients have been getting plenty of attention. Despite the spotlight on foraged foods, the practice of finding wild mushrooms, lettuces, herbs and other fare is shrouded in mystery for some chefs. But these foragers were waking up at the crack of dawn to find truly local menu items long before "forage" became a buzzword.
Chef David Kinch, Manresa
Kinch has been scavenging for ingredients for years, which practically makes him a veteran forager among his peers. By scouring the California coastline and lush country near his Los Gatos restaurant, Kinch is able to use wild ingredients in his culturally-influenced dishes to create a unique flavor profile that has earned him two Michelin stars for five straight years. Kinch strives to find ingredients that his customers probably haven't tasted, including pine needles, flowering cacti and wild onions. manresarestaurant.com

When Tama Matsuoka Wong ate at New York City's prestigious Daniel, she brought along a plant from her meadow. A financial services lawyer-turned-naturalist, Wong had developed a palate for wild ingredients. Leroux made it a point to meet Wong while she dined, and their introductions blossomed into a business relationship. Now, Wong is Leroux's head forager. She lugs bags of lettuces, grasses, herbs and flowers from farms and other undeveloped areas into the city by subway to provide Leroux with the freshest of ingredients. danielnyc.com
Chef Bowman Brown, Forage
Chef Brown works hard to allow Forage to live up to its name. With the trails and natural areas surrounding Salt Lake City at his reach, Brown spends plenty of mornings finding greens and garnishes for his award-winning menu. Ingredients like Indian parsley, wild garlic, wild onions and pepper grasses expand the flavor profile of his dishes while connecting them to the surrounding land. foragerestaurant.com
Chef Iliana Regan, Elizabeth Restaurant
Foraging comes naturally for chef Iliana Regan, who grew up on a farm in Indiana. Throughout her formative years, Regan learned the art of distinguishing edible ingredients from commonplace weeds during long forages with her Dad. Now that she runs her own restaurant in Chicago, Regan largely turns to other trusted scavengers for wild ingredients. With sustainability and environmentalism at the forefront of Regan's mind, Elizabeth sells tickets rather than taking reservations. The ticket system allows time for planning — and that allows occasional opportunities for Regan to head outdoors and forage on her own. elizabeth-restaurant.com
Chef Blaine Wetzel, The Willows Inn
Lummi Island is one of the most accessible of the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington — and it's also one of the most pristine. On foraging days, chef Wetzel gets up before dawn and drags out his kayak to explore the coastline and shallow waters for wild seaweed, sea lettuce and various shoots that he can use in the kitchen at night. Lummi Island is so remote that Wetzel has called The Willows Inn the best restaurant on earth. It's not that he's being conceited about his cooking — it's just that the scenery and wild ingredients produced by the unspoiled land are unparalleled. willows-inn.com

Many soldiers who die in battle could perhaps be saved if outfitted with a sensor system that could capture and identify noises generated within the chest. While the majority of combat casualties are the result of injuries that cannot be treated, a significant number die from the presence of air, gas or blood in their chest. Once detected, treatment is relatively simple with the medic or corpsman placing a needle into the affected region in the chest to release the pressure. The problem with tension pneumothorax is detection. It's difficult to detect even in a hospital, but a battlefield setting makes the job even more difficult. The goal of the ORNL project is to develop a sensor built into a soldier's helmet that would capture and classify acoustic signals from the thoracic region and would alert medics to a life-threatening condition.

Appointed the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, Pierre Boulez is a composer, conductor, tireless advocate for new music and one of the most important musical and intellectual figures of our time. Boulez was named principal guest conductor of the CSO in March 1995, only the third person to hold that title in the Orchestra's history. An eloquent and passionate advocate of the music of the 20th and 21st centuries, Boulez has become one of Chicago's most popular conductors in his annual residencies with the Orchestra.
In honor of his 85th birthday, the CSO paid tribute to Boulez with a four-week celebration in January 2010. He conducted two weeks of subscription concerts in Chicago—including Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle, Dalbavie's Flute Concerto, his own Livre pour cordes and Stravinsky's The Firebird—joined by pianists Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Tamara Stefanovich, vocalists Michelle DeYoung and Falk Struckmann and CSO Principal Flute Mathieu Dufour. The Orchestra and Boulez also presented two concerts in New York's Carnegie Hall and gave one performance in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In addition, Boulez presided over a concert of his own works and world premieres on the Symphony Center Presents MusicNOW series, and David Robertson, a close colleague and longtime collaborator, led both the CSO and the Civic Orchestra in tribute programs to Boulez.
Born in 1925 in Montbrison, France, Pierre Boulez initially trained in mathematics and later pursued studies in piano, composition and choral conducting at the Paris Conservatory, where his teachers included Olivier Messiaen and René Leibowitz. In 1954, he founded the Concerts du Petit Marigny, one of the first concert series entirely dedicated to the performance of modern music, which later became the Domaine Musical series. Throughout the next decade, he was much involved with musical analysis, and he taught in Darmstadt and at Basel University. In 1963, he was a visiting professor at Harvard University, and in 1976 he became a professor at the Collège de France.
Pierre Boulez began his conducting career in 1958 with the Südwestfunk Orchestra in Baden-Baden, Germany. His reputation as a leading musician brought him to the attention of George Szell, who invited him to conduct in the United States for the first time with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1965; he subsequently held posts there as principal guest conductor and musical advisor from 1969 until 1972. In 1971, he became chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and that same year he succeeded Leonard Bernstein as music director of the New York Philharmonic, a position he held until 1977. His positions with these orchestras garnered him an international reputation as a foremost interpreter of music by Berg, Webern and Schoenberg as well as Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky and Wagner.
His difference of opinion about state intervention in the arts in France, as espoused by André Malraux, led Boulez into voluntary exile for several years. He returned in triumph in 1974, when the government under President Georges Pompidou, decided to build a music research center at the Pompidou Centre and invited Boulez to be its creator and director. From the Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM) sprang the creation of a major and permanent instrumental group, the Ensemble Intercontemporain, one of the world's finest contemporary music ensembles, which Boulez has conducted in France as well as on extended tours abroad. In 1991 Boulez resigned as conductor of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, while continuing as its president. Boulez is also cofounder of Cité de la Musique, a music center in Paris created in 1995.
His numerous compositions are widely performed, including Le marteau sans maître, Pli selon pli, three piano sonatas, Le visage nuptial, Répons, …explosante-fixe… and Notations. Boulez also has published five books about music. His many awards and honors include honorary doctorates from Leeds, Cambridge, Basel, and Oxford universities, among others; Commander of the British Empire; and Knight of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2009 he was awarded the Inamori Foundation's 25th Annual Kyoto Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Arts and Philosophy.
Pierre Boulez's vast discography includes prizewinning recordings of Parsifal from Bayreuth and Berg's Lulu (world premiere recording). In 1989, he signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon to record a broad range of 20th-century masterworks with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic, as well as contemporary repertoire, including his own works, with the Ensemble Intercontemporain. He has won 26 Grammy Awards since 1967; eight of those were with the Chicago Symphony, including best performance and best album awards for Bartók's The Wooden Prince, Cantata profana and Concerto for Orchestra, as well best performances for Mahler's Ninth Symphony; Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle; and Varèse's Amériques, Arcana, Déserts and Ionisation. He also received the 1999 award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition for his Répons, recorded with the Ensemble Intercontemporain. Boulez's other CSO recordings include Stravinsky's The Firebird; Mahler's Symphony No. 1; Schoenberg's Pelleas and Melisande and Variations for Orchestra; and A Tribute to Pierre Boulez, the 2005 CSO From the Archives release, and, most recently, the CSO Resound all-Stravinsky album including Pulcinella, Four Études and the Symphony in Three Movements, released in January 2010.
Pierre Boulez first appeared with the Chicago Symphony on subscription concerts in February 1969 conducting Debussy's Jeux, Bartók's First Piano Concerto with Daniel Barenboim, Webern's Passacaglia and Six Pieces for Orchestra, and Messiaen's Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum.

'Underworld: Awakening' and 'The Vow' Hit DVD and Blu-ray This Week
It's not a knock-it-out-of-the-park line-up this week, but there are a couple of options to mull over.
Podcast: Oscar Nomination Evaluation, 'Underworld Awakening' and New DVD and Blu-rays
It's Oscar nomination day and Laremy and I spend the first 35 minutes of today's podcast looking over all 21 of the major categories before the podcast slowly devolves into a jumbled mess for which I do apologize, but we can't always be perfect.
Weekend Box-Office: 'Underworld Awakening' Takes #1 and 'Red Tails' has an Impressive Debut
Underworld Awakening couldn't quite reach the heights of 2006's Underworld: Evolution, but it still managed a respectable win as this weekend's box-office receipts are up 32% compared to the same time frame last year.
Friday Box-Office: 'Underworld Awakening' Sparks Potential $25 Million Opening
Underworld Awakening opens strong and looks to become the second highest opener in the franchise while Red Tails surprises
'Underworld Awakening' Review (2012)
Kate Beckinsale returns as the werewolf-hunting vampire Selene for Underworld Awakening as the franchise is fun once again as blood is spilled, heads are ripped open and the war rages on.
Box-Office Oracle: 'Underworld Awakening' Hopes to Put a Bite in 'Haywire', 'Red Tails' and 'Extremely Loud'
Laremy is taking the lycan hunting vampires of Underworld Awakening over the Tuskegee airmen, Steven Soderbergh's Haywire and the expansion of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. How do you weigh in?
Third 'Underworld Awakening' Trailer Debuts to Deal Out Some Death
Screen Gems has released another trailer for Underworld Awakening, which hits theaters on January 20. As a guilty pleasure franchise of mine, I'm actually looking forward to seeing if this movie will be as silly and entertaining as the first two.
Latest MPAA Ratings: BULLETIN NO: 2203
Several films rated today and of the bunch The Grey, Underworld Awakening and The Devil Inside all receive R ratings.
New Pictures from 'John Carter,' 'Young Adult,' 'This Means War,' 'Mission: Impossible 4' and More
Today I have an impressive new look at John Carter for you along with several new images from a bunch of highly anticipated films coming soon to theaters.
'Underworld Awakening' Official Poster Debuts
Screen Gems sent over the first poster for Underworld Awakening, giving you a Photoshopped look at Kate Beckinsale as the werewolf-hunting vampire Selene.

At the WPO Championship in Columbus, Ohio, in March, Lewis squatted, bench pressed and deadlifted more in combination than anyone ever has in a sanctioned meet 2,799 pounds. His individual squat and bench press totals were also event records 1,212 and 815 pounds, respectively. For these feats he won the title belt and a diamond ring.
The setting was decidedly less masculine last week as Lewis key-carded a flabby Unreal into Festus' Alpha Strength Systems gym. Clad in a House of Pain T-shirt (company motto: "Only the strong survive. Is that bad?") with the sleeves cut off and the neck enlarged to accommodate his massive neck, the World's Strongest Man righted the situation by blasting Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady" over the stereo system.
A 35-year-old sales manager for the Tacony Corporation with a shaved head and pretty brown eyes, Lewis didn't start lifting seriously until a few years after he graduated from Bayless High School in 1988. Nowadays his regimen is ironclad: He squats on Monday; later in the week he'll pull a metal sled piled high with hundreds of pounds of free weights across the parking lot.
Today is a bench day. Owing to Lewis' prodigious girth, the bar must travel only a few inches to reach full extension. "Genetically, I'm set up as a good squatter and bencher, but it makes it harder to deadlift," he notes.
And now it's Unreal's turn. As Skid Row segues into Winger, Lewis proves an attentive and supportive spotter, telling us we're doing "great" as we bench approximately one-sixth of his record total.
He's less generous when we inquire about holy man Pat Robertson's claim to have leg-pressed 2,000. "I'd have to see it," Lewis says with a roll of the eyes. "I don't give the leg press much credence, anyway. A leg press is not a full-body movement."
Contort the Pooch
First came Doggie Kindergarten. Then the Doggie Spa. Now Doggie Massage and Yoga.
Leading the movement in the Lou is Lafayette Square resident Madalyn Fliesler. Recently certified by a Seattle correspondence course to rub down man's best friend, Fisher also started up yoga classes for pets and their owners two weeks ago. (For more info see www.designing-touch.com.)
Unreal: What exactly are the benefits of massage for dogs?
Madalyn Fliesler: Dogs are living longer but they have complaints, like muscle wasting. And arthritis, of course, is the big thing. Massage decreases pain, increases circulation in the muscles. It's also good for younger dogs who don't concentrate well. Massage slows their brain down, so they can think it's like Ritalin for dogs. It helps them focus.
And you can be certified in this field?
Not by the State of Missouri. But animal massage therapists are working on nationwide certification. See, for people trained on humans to switch to animals that's better than being an amateur, but doing four-legged animals is very different. Dogs don't need deep massage like humans do. Nor do horses. And cats even less. You could harm them.
Is there a magic move to calm a dog down?
There's no magic stroke for any one dog. Some you have to work with three or four times before they recognize you and what you're doing. Some animals don't like to be touched.
Not even stroked?
Oh, yeah. People say, "I touch my dog all the time," and then they pat their dog on the head. But that dog has never had his armpit rubbed or his inner thigh rubbed. Last Sunday I did free massages in Wolfgang's Pet Stop and I didn't sit down for five minutes. I got sat on, slobbered on, peed on and I loved it.
Bliss indeed. Yoga let's talk about that.
It's a social thing. The other idea is to introduce the concept of massage to these people.
So the dogs won't be doing downward dogs.
City Hall: What a Dump
Unreal loves a good euphemism. So when Roger McGrath sent us a note complaining that he got caught with his pants down in St. Louis City Hall, we bit.
"I was downtown at city hall picking up some forms a few weeks back when nature called," the 54-year-old St. Louis resident explains. "I ran in to the water closet. Having finished my business, I discovered the 'paperwork' couldn't be completed because none was available."
What's a right-thinking citizen to do when trapped in such a predicament?
Why, fetch your cell phone and call the mayor's office, of course.
And that's just what McGrath says he did, asking a receptionist to notify a janitor to bring t.p. ASAP.
"She hung up on me!" says an astounded McGrath. "I called back and she tersely told me to call Facilities Management and then hung up the phone again! I called back and she didn't answer."

Bristol, Tenn. (August 24, 2013) – The NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) took to Bristol Motor Speedway for a Friday night race under the lights at the .53-mile track. Roush Fenway Racing's Travis Pastrana and the No. 60 team battled hard for 250 laps, ultimately crossing the finish line in 13th.
"I kept the car off the wall and out of trouble at both visits to the bull ring," said Pastrana. "I picked up my qualifying by a lot and finished a few spots better this time around. I still have a lot to learn about the concrete tracks, but this was a big step in the right direction."
The NNS visited Bristol Motor Speedway for the second time of the season. Teams only had one practice session on Friday to prepare for the race. Pastrana qualified his Ford Mustang 11th for the race.
On the opening run, Pastrana was silent on the radio as he negotiated his way through traffic, hanging solid in the top-15 for the majority of the run.
When the first caution flag of the day waved on Lap 65, Pastrana informed the crew that the car was free all the way through the corner. Crew Chief Chad Norris called Pastrana down pit road for right side tires and fuel, with no adjustments.
Pastrana restarted 14th and settled into the top-20 on the next run. The spotter for the No. 60, Jason Hedlesky directed Pastrana through traffic, as Norris read off lap times. When the caution waved again on Lap 104, Pastrana radioed that the car lacked forward bite.
The No. 60 Ford Mustang visited pit road for the second time to take four tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment on Lap 106. Pastrana had to reverse before exiting the pit stall, due to a car pitting in front of him. On Lap 109, he restarted 25th, beginning a focused march to the top-15.
On Lap 159, the No. 60 visited pit road for the final time, taking four tires, fuel and no adjustments. Pastrana was happy with the handling of his Mustang. He restarted 15th after the No. 60 pit crew gained two positions on pit road.
Pastrana continued to avoid the carnage that Bristol Motor Speedway is known for, and ran solid laps, working his way up to 13th by the time the checkered flag flew.
