So close.
As in every week, a lot has been going on. But my mind keeps going
back to James Kim.
As I'm sure you know, Kim, his wife, and two children were missing for
days and days in the Oregon wilderness. On Monday his wife and
children were found, safe and healthy. On Wednesday James Kim's body
was found.
We were in the car when the news came over the radio. James Kim was
found today in a shallow creek, the reporter began. I shut it off
before Henry could hear. Parents always come back, we've told him. He
doesn't need to know about one who didn't.
Since the news came of his death, I keep thinking about him. So does
everyone else, it seems. I'd like to think that it's not because he
was so much like, you know, us: educated, technology-savvy,
plugged in. I'd like to think that our preoccupation isn't wrapped up
with our hubris, our certainty that something like this couldn't
happen to us, even when the reality of it is staring us in the face.
When a tragedy like this occurs, we automatically separate ourselves.
We search the accounts for the victims' mistakes, and we feel relieved
when the errors are so obvious, so not anything we would have done. We
become selfish and petty and grasping, just a little, just for a
moment, because more than anything, more than any respect we may have
for the dead, we need to believe that such a thing could never happen
to us.
But what happened to the Kim family could happen to anyone, no matter
how smart or educated. They took one wrong turn. We've all
taken wrong turns. For most of us, our road trips are graded on how
many wrong turns we took and how long our inability to read maps
detoured us. Their wrong turn happened to be in the middle of nowhere,
during a heavy snowstorm. By the time they realized how lost they
were, it was too late. We've all kept going even as the evidence of
our mistake mounted up around us. We've been able to turn back. They
were not.
He was so close to being okay. This is what I keep coming back to, how
easily this tragedy could have been turned around. When his family was
found on Monday, my first thought was, he's already gone. No
one, starving for that many days, underdressed, wearing tennis shoes,
could survive the cold for long. Of course he's already gone.
But he wasn't. Even as I was thinking that, as probably everyone was
thinking that, he was still going, still searching for help. His
efforts were described in the press as superhuman. As the undersheriff
for the area said, he was a man who was "very motivated."
His body was found only hours after he died. No more than a day,
certainly. If only they had found him just one day before.
Even more painful to fathom is that he didn't know his family was
rescued. As parents, we just want our children to be okay. That's the
nightmare that wakes us at 3 a.m., the thought that can veer our car
to the curb and leave us shaking. They might not be okay.
That's what kept him walking and walking. When he fell, was he
delirious from the cold, or did he know what was happening? I don't
want to believe that he was filled with despair even as his body
failed him, that his last thoughts were of his failure. I want to
think that on some level he knew, or he thought, they were okay.
They're still talking about it on the radio, right now. "If he had
stayed in the car, would he still be alive?" the radio show's host
asked the reporter. She wouldn't say. Of course the answer is
yes. Really, what kind of a question is that? If he was still there
when the rescuers arrived, would he have been rescued? But what
father could sit there, believing that by his inaction, his wife and
children would all perish? Any parent would have done what he did. We
want to believe that if it was us, we would have found that lodge; we
would have managed to stand up and keep going after that fall into the
creek. He was superhuman, but our superhumanness would somehow have
surpassed his.
Each new detail breaks your heart just a little more. Today, the news
that there was a lodge located a short distance from where his body
was found. A closed fishing lodge filled with supplies. He was one
mile away.
And the lock-did you hear about the lock? There was supposed to be a
lock to keep tourists off of the road. It had been stolen by vandals.
One lock could have erased this story.
Just one lock missing. Just one wrong turn; just one mile; just one day.
I hope his family finds comfort in the knowledge that the world
regards James Kim as a hero, what every father dreams of being when
his family is imperiled. I hope his children know how much he
accomplished, how hard he worked to save them. I hope over the years
they don't think too much about how close he was, how easily
everything could have turned around. Right now it's hard to think
about much else.

Well said, Alice. I hope with every fiber of my being that he rests easy now, knowing all of his girls are safe, and warm.
All that 'what if' discussion in the media irritates me, and is disrespectful to his family. Take a lesson, yes, and hope it never happens to you but be prepared. Because you're right – it was just one wrong turn that could've happened to anybody. And the bottom line is he did what he thought he had to.
Talk about it, conjecture all you like. Love isn't words, and never will be.

This story has made me heartsick. Everytime you hear of lost families, you think that could be you.
Having lived in Alaska and both my husband and I being military, I would like to think we would know what to do, but really even my husband and I can't agree what we would do in that situation and we don't have the fear and terror and cold and babies in danger with which to contend to make our decision. It makes me sick thinking and reading the stories, second-guessing his decision.
I know James' decision was based upon looking into his young daughters' eyes. I have teared up many times thinking of his desperation and realizing the sheer agony is wife is going through now. If only…
His daughters will be proud of his legacy.
Thank you for such a nice account of your emotions surrounding this story. I live in Oregon and have travelled the roads here my entire life. At first, I did think — "what if he had stayed?" too, but then I imagined that he had no choice; he couldn't stay and watch his family starve.
Like many people, I watched the news with great anticipation; I wept when they found the children alive as I gripped my own daughter on my lap, safe and warm. What is it about this story? I think it's the fragility — the nightmares you mentioned — the small mistakes that we make every day.
Thanks again, your talent as a writer is often funny, but always touching in some way.

I was gripped by this story from the first day the Kim family was reported missing, because I live in the area where they originally thought they might have gone off the road, farther north than Bear Camp Road. I have been obsessively reading every tidbit I could find, hoping and praying that the family was safe, and was devastated when my husband called to tell me they had found his body. I feel such a sense of loss because I connected so emotionally with the Kims. I have an 11 month old daughter I'm nursing who looks so much like Sabine, and I too have agonized over what James and Kati must have been thinking during their whole horrible ordeal. Thank you for your wonderful words. They touched me. Kati, Penelope and Sabine are in the thoughts and prayers of a lot of people, mine included.
Wow. I actually knew very very little about this story. Just that there was a man lost in Oregon who was missing and then was found dead. I am very emotionally weak and because of that I never watch the news. I just can't handle it. I get all my news from other people mentioning things to me.
I am really glad you wrote this post. I am glad I know his story. It was beautiful and made me cry, which I think it would be hard to read it and not cry…
The things that change our lives are so terrifying. The tiniest little change can alter our entire exsistance. He is a hero. I hope he is never forgotten.

Yours is the best summary of this horrible, tragic situation that I've seen.

This story haunts me. Today when I was taking my kids to school it was breathtakingly cold and nearly blizzarding. I was thinking, I am freezing. Then I thought, Imagine nine days of this in sneakers and trying to keep my babies alive…
When the commentators were talking about his mistakes, I thought, Of course he had to go for help. That's what daddies do. There are so many 'if onlys' and here is one more. If only Rand McNally had listed that route as closed in winter…
Both Mommy and Daddy Kim are heroes in my opinion. My heart just aches for the whole family.
Tragic stories like this one bring us all face to face with our profound vulnerability to fate, luck, chance.
One of the things that I found most moving at the end of this story was during the press conference given by the man who had coordinated the search efforts. He kept repeating, "They did nothing wrong. They did nothing wrong."
The impulse to make the Kims wrong for getting lost is just another way for people to distance themselves, to avoid the awareness that the line between life and death, between us and them, is ever so fine and we might not know, until too late, that we have crossed it.

Your entry about this is wonderful. I find myself feeling much the same way.
I wanted to point out one thing, though. There's no telling if anyone would have been rescued if he had stayed in the car. The reports I've heard all say that they followed his footprints to the car. So if he hadn't left, one has to wonder if they would have found the family in time.
I'm so amazed by his determination and so saddened by his loss. That poor family!
Thank God you wrote this Alice, it has been haunting me. I sobbed when they found him, I was so sure he was going to make it. I am from Oregon too and grew up on that area.
I am frustrated by the humanity in all of us needing to second guess him and his choices.
You said it so beautifully, thank you thank you thank you.
Alice as alway, you just say the right thing. We just don't want to believe that this could happen to us. The thought of death is just so unbearable. Nobody can bring him back, but he has changed so many lives already. He reminded us how valuable our time is, now it's up to us to make it count. Every single thing I've read mentions what a good person he was. What else could we strive for?
Right now his loss seems so unnecessary but down the road it will leave footprints… because it will help us be less judgemental and more forgiving and more mindful of our time and hopefully more loving selfless to the people around us.

M'kay. Now I just need to go hug my whole family. Keep it up Alice; you're amazing.
I hadn't heard about the lock. More tears now. The Kim family hasn't actually left my thoughts since the first report over a week ago. All of the "what ifs". All of the heartache. Thinking of the conversation James and Kim must have had before he left that morning. And then back to the "what ifs". In my mind, though, he heard the helicopters before he died. He kept going and going until he knew they were safe and then he just couldn't any more. But, in my mind, he knew.

Great post. Now go read this.

Well you made me cry. An unspeakable tragedy.
Thank you for writing this. I don't know the Kim family and I hadn't heard of them before this tragedy. But I, like hundreds of others, cannot stop thinking about them. I have been dreaming about James Kim's heroic efforts, and feeling his urgency to help his family. Thank you especially for the first part of your post, where you explored WHY we're so shocked by this event. The sameness. I feel like you've put into words what so many people have been feeling.
I don't know exactly what it is about this story that has kept me so involved, but I can't let it go. When I first read the news, even though I was alone, I found myself saying outloud "I really thought he was going to make it." Every morning since that day, that is my first thought when I wake up. I, like everybody, knew there was almost no chance for him once he left the car that fateful day, but I guess knowing and accepting are two very different things.

Thank you for such a beautiful piece. I had been following the Kims' story up until he was found–it's heartbreaking.

This story made me so sad.
And you're right; it could happen to anyone. One wrong turn.
Michelle Dec 15 at 8:38 pm Reply
Typically when I read your writing, Alice, I only expect to cry tears of laughter. But this entry made me cry tears of sadness. I don't typically cry over the news (I generally avoid watching it), but the news of James Kim's death made me cry, and I couldn't figure out why. What you wrote helped me to finally understand why. Thank you for such a beautiful, touching post. I'm an agnostic leaning toward atheism, but at this moment, I really hope there is a beyond and that James Kim knows that his family is OK.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that I've had for about 6 months or so now. Recently, about 3 months ago, my friend bought me an upgrade to windows 7 ultimate. So far I have been enjoying the features and have had no complaint until my Microphone stopped working today. I use it regularly to talk on Skype with a friend who's in Army training, and all of a sudden it's stopped recognizing my microphone.
When I right click on my sound icon at the bottom right and go to recording devices, it shows the jack where my mic is usually plugged in at, but the jack itself seems to be picking up sound-what I mean is when I plug something into it I see the volume level go up and down, and when I turned the boost all the way up it has one green bar steadily. When I try to use audio recorder I'm told there is not audio device detected. I have uninstalled the driver twice in hopes that it would reset but it doesn't seem to have. I'm beginning to believe it's my microphone jack.
Please help!
UPDATE: Now I can use sound recorder and it records without anything even plugged in. And I play it back and I get nothing but loud mic sound (not quite static but still)
Can someone please help me with this?
Bump? Does it always take this long to get customer service?
I'm sorry that you have not received an answer. This is not Customer Service; it is the Laptop Audio Board section of Dell Community Forums, which is a user to user forum. For more information about the role of the members and also for links to contact Dell's Technical Support and Customer Service please click here.
The Laptop Audio Board does not have as much traffic as some of the other boards. It might take some time before someone sees your question who knows the answer. There have been a lot of posts here regarding mics that no longer function after installing Windows 7. It seems that there are not proper audio drivers available for all models for that operating system. Interestingly some people have found that using an older driver instead of the current one helps. Even then there seem to be additional problems when using Skype with Windows 7.
Jim Coates -- senior forum member
Take a look at What is the Integrated Webcam and Digital Array Microphone. At the bottom of that page there is a link to a troubleshooting wizard named "Problem with the Integrated Web Camers" Wizard ID 297119. You will be asked to submit the model name of your computer and its operating system, then you can select the type of problem you are having, which is "The microphone is not working". This wizard is a good place to start diagnosing your problem and it will walk you through all of the steps to configure the camera. It will show you how to run the Dell Diagnostics tests on the webcam to find out if the hardware has failed and where to get help if it has.It has the details of the several pieces of software to reinstall if the hardware is okay.
Also you might try using a regular mic thaqt you plug into the mic jack to see if you can get better results that way.
I use a regular mic that I plug into a jack. That's what won't work. I don't use my integrated mic because it isn't loud enough and doesn't have a boost. I use the jack in the front to plug my mic in and its always worked even with windows 7. All of a sudden yesterday though it quit working.
When you plug in the mic do you see on the screen a popup box asking whether you plugged in a mic or line-in device? If not, go to Start/Control Panel/ Sigmatel and check the 'allow popups' box. If the popup is not activated then the jack defaults to be a line-in jack that will not work properly with a mic. Then plug in the mic again and test it. I'd test it with a recording program such as Windows Sound Recorder instead of Skype or any voip program. If the mic can record then it is working. If enabling popups didn't solve the problem then next try running the external mic test in the audio section of Dell Diagnostics. To run Diagnostics restart the computer and as soon as it starts to boot up hold down f12. Select 'Diagnostic' from the boot menu. The computer will run its pre-boot assessment tests for 3 or 4 minutes before the Dell Diagnostic starts. These pre-boot tests play some beeps and tones through the system speaker but this doesn't test the rest of the audio hardware, so you still need to let Dell Diagnostics run after the pre-boot tests finish. Dell Diagnostics plays an instrumental piece of music complete with drums, so if you only hear some tones then you have only run the pre-boot assessment test.When Dell Diagnostics opens, select 'custom', then the audio test. This will test your audio system independently of Windows and drivers, meaning it doesn't matter if they are working correctly or not.Dell Diagnostics will play some audio and ask you whether you heard it, etc. Eventually the external mic test should come up. If the test passes that means the hardware is okay but there is a problem with the software or configuration. If it fails that means there is a hardware problem.
Where is this Sigmatel under the Control panel?
I ran the diagnostic and it failed for the external mic. What now?
If there is no Control Panel/Sigmatel it might mean that the Sigmatel audio driver is not installed properly, in which case the computer is using the Windows driver which does not seem to work good with mics. You said you have reinstalled the driver several times. There is no Windows 7 Sigmatel driver for the 1525 so my understanding is that one has to use the Vista Sigmatel driver (it is in the Audio category) and install it in 7 by using Vista compatibility mode. Is that the way you did it?
Failure of the test means a hardware problem, although not necessarily in the computer. It could be a short in the mic plug for example. If the problem is in the computer and you are still under warranty then Dell will fix it. If not under warranty then the workaround is to get an external sound card and use its mic jack.
There was never a Sigmatel driver on here that I knew of. The driver that controls my audio is simply called "High Definition Audio Device" in my device manager. I supposed purchasing a USB headseat would effectively solve the problem as well though, correct?
In your initial post you said you reinstalled the driver twice so I assumed it was the Sigmatel. The audio system in the 1525 is Sigmatel HD audio and although there is a bare bones Intel HD audio driver within Vista and 7 those will not enable all of the features of the Sigmatel system the way installing the correct Sigmatel driver will.
A usb headset might solve your problems. (Sorry but if I knew all the answers I would have answered your initial post a couple of days ago.)
:/ Well it wouldn't allow me to install the driver just now saying that it wasn't the correct driver for my system. This is so frustrating...
Hi Jim,
I have the same problem as Lamaenic here and i found this post. I got to the same step where i got the error " this is not the correct audio driver for this system"
Can i install the Sigmatel audio driver on to my Inspiron if i never had it before? is that anything i need to do before i can install?
"Can i install the Sigmatel audio driver on to my Inspiron if i never had it before?"
But it would have been on the computer when it left the factory.
There are all kinds of reasons why the driver might fail to install. First, it has to be the correct version of the driver for your model and for your operating system. If you follow the link I posted to the 1525 downloads page you need to check to see which operating system it says and then use the dropdown box to select the OS that your computer is running. For the 1525 the only choices are XP and Vista 32 bit. There is no Windows 7 Sigmatel driver for the 1525 so my understanding is that one has to use the Vista version of the Sigmatel driver and install it in 7 by using Vista compatibility mode.
Another problem occurs when the operating system gets reinstalled on a computer but then the drivers are not reinstalled in the correct order. It's okay for most of the drivers but the Sigmatel will not install unless the Dell Notebook System Software and then the Intel Mobile Chipset driver are installed prior to the Sigmatel driver. These are not available for 7 but from posts here it seems that people are getting the Sigmatel to install without them by using compatibility mode.
There are some other problems that can affect the Sigmatel installation, both of a hardware and a software nature.
Another one I forgot ... it's not a good idea to download the driver using Dell Download Manager which can cause problems with the driver for some reason unknown to me. When you hit the "Download" button the first time, you are offered a choice between the Manager or just using your browser to download in the normal way. By default whichever choice you make is remembered on a cookie and the next time you try to download you won't get the choice again. To get the choice back you have to delete the cookie that was left in your computer from the first download.

The essential characteristic of this book in comparison with others on the market in the same domain is that it describes through examples the ideal competences of a leader. I never claimed that it's easy to become a good leader, but if people will...
I wrote this book that conjoins in a simple way personal development with leadership, just like a puzzle, where you have to match all the given pieces in order to recompose the general image.
The aim of this book is to offer you information through concrete examples and to show you how to obtain the capacity to make others see things from the same angle as you.
Direct your leadership to virtue by showing you more concerned about the unseen side of human personality.
I mentioned in "Greatness of soul" that for a leader to enjoy the prestige and persistent appreciation of the people, he must have a big heart and involve himself with all his dedication and competence in meeting their expectations. But there is also a gray part in this situation.
The most important part of leadership it requires to know the people you lead, but especially to figure out the differences between them and their qualities. As a leader, you must own that power to capture the essential part of the people, their true natures, their characters – which is the column supporting the actions, ideas, skills and initiatives that they have. In this regard, the mind should serve to elucidate their true intentions and feelings, namely their true ability to adapt to your leadership.
Judging with great carefulness, wisdom and maturity all issues of concern to those around you in the light of your own values and perceptions about what is good and right, comparing their interests, aspirations, preferences and desires with your own principles and ideas, you will manage to achieve outstanding performances.
Knowing how to see with your mind's eye
Some time ago, I read an interesting thing about the romanian painter, Nicolae Grigorescu. Someone asked him how should be painted a portrait, and he answered first:
"Before beginning a portrait, look carefully, especially at the hands of the model. There are hands that don't resemble the figure. You can't do anything about it. There are hands who think, good, loving hands, which seem to caress the things they touch, but there are also wicked hands, which discontentedly perceive the world. I have seen very sad hands at an actor who only played comic roles. His hands couldn't lie… Everything has a more expressive side of it – the mystery of life lies within."
The leader has a hierarchy of values determined by a careful and objective thinking, which often constitutes one of his greatest strengths. To have a receptive mind, to know how to grasp the truth and to see the essence of the people, the way they think, whether they are or aren't affectionate and cooperative, trustworthy, and whether they agree with what you say and with your principles – this is what you need to give continuity to your leadership.
Give more depth to your reasoning in order to recognize the good people and cast off the wicked ones. Just as everything has a hidden side - so everyone has an unseen side – and there lies the mystery of their characters that you must discover, and then decide whether to accept it or not in your soul.
Prepare your mind and soul to work together
I think that revealing for understanding the issues that I want to emphasize here is the story of Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare. You remember, of course that noble of Athens named Timon, whose generosity was unlimited. His endless wealth didn't even get to fill the coffers well, and he poured it much faster, giving it to all sorts of people, regardless of their status. His house was open to all sorts of people, and because of his open and wasteful nature, all hangers-on turned profit from him.
Finally, the reward was equal to the favors he granted. As he didn't foresee his misadventures and didn't avoid them because he didn't take heed to the warnings he received from his honest servant, Flavius, because he wasn't a wise man, who evaluated the facts because he didn't have an inquiring mind to capture the features of those around him, Timon wasted all his wealth, reached a desperate state, and people became indifferent to him.
I think the moral of the story is the following: the road from Paradise to Hell is paved with good intentions, but also with darkened minds. If you want your leadership to last in time, you must penetrate in people's minds and feelings and resist any temptations, pressures and influences on their part.
Lucidity and the depth of reasoning are qualities that give an added value to your leadership. To know how to see with your mind's eye, not only with your heart and soul, to seize the truth, the objective reality, to know how to see beyond appearances, to manage to decipher the mysteries of other's people character – all of them are the result of a very subtle and deep observation that you need to do.
A leader who obeys his heart, acting in the interest of others, on behalf of their feelings, thoughts and wishes, is covered with glory and full of praise. Consequently, being proud of himself, he will continue to show himself amiable to everyone. But there's also the reverse. Whoever proves to be excessively amiable to people's needs and does not hinder the urge to befriend them, will be perceived as a weak man. Proving to be too generous, he will become a victim.
Your leadership must denote a deep and healthy judgment. Be a profound observer of the human soul, identify people's moral qualities and see if they match your nature and principles.
Conclusion: As a leader, you must have an objective thinking and show as much lucidity in evaluating people, both professionally, as well as in terms of their personality, aspirations, and especially it is useful to know the negative and hidden aspects of their nature.
These "hidden flaws" unknown or tolerated, will crumble, especially in critical situations, everything you built together with the rest of your work fellows, turning success into failure. Just as the story goes that you must choose the wheat from the cockle - so you, as a leader, must select your work fellows… by removing the "cockle".

Need help with diagnosis please! (Something wierd and contagious...?)
I have a red wag platy that I've owned since november that is swimming near the surface of the aquarium with clamped fins and his pectoral fins seem to be ragged. He is not gasping, or flashing, and is still eating. One other platy in my aquarium is swimming with clamped fins too, but his pectoral fins are not ragged. The first fish has an ununiform sheen to his sides, one spot is starting to look grayish.
What is this? What's the treatment? HELP! :shock:
Anyone? Please? I need to know what to treat with to nip this in the butt because I'm gone on wednesday. I have Liquid Super Ich Cure and Powder Super Ich Cure. Would any of these work? I need a diagnosis so I can go and get meds within the hour because I've got to go groom form my mom at a horse show.
It doesn't sound like Ich. It's probably some sort of bacterial infection. Are they with other fish? I'd remove them to a hospital tank until you can figure out what it is (when you have more time).
Minimally, give them some clean water and then try to google image the disease that looks closest to what your fish have.
Sounds like you might need to pick up some diff. meds like Maracyn and Maracyn II. I wouldn't throw that in there until you can figure out if it's necessary tho.
I put the two platies into my 5 gallon hospital tank, they're both seeming much better, less fin clamping. My third platy is quite dominant, so I'm sure they're much more relaxed without him there.
I'm going to keep a really close eye on the slimy patch to see if it changes. Mom wondered if the one platy is just an old fish and is at the end of his lifespan...?

Have any of you mama's recently heard of any new unique baby girl names out there? I hear paisley, Arianna, Elliana...stuff that has been mentioned on here a few times, but anything really new lately (in the past month or so)... any will do! I just want some ideas:) thankx!!!!
Any "new" UNIQUE GIRL NAMES? :)
B+Z est. 2010 C 2/15/13 BF, BLW, BED SHARING, VAXING, UNCIRC., CLOTH DIAPERING MOMMY
I'm just reading through the names mentioned and seeing what other people consider "unique" or have heard as of recent. I picked a name that we like, but its more common...its in the new 2012 top baby names they just had out! I'm not judging anyones names they want to put...to each there own and thanks for giving me some suggestions! :)
I agree that a lot of these names are simply awful. As a teacher, I can't stress enough how important it is to choose a name that is easily spelled, easily pronounced, and doesn't give off a bad first impression.
Your name can immediately get your application or résumé tossed into the garbage can. Please read Freakonomics if you don't believe me. I know first hand that my boss has admitted to tossing applications based off of first impressions such as name or what university you went to.
Your child's name will not automatically make them unique. Who they are will make them unique.

I have a unique name: Desiree. I've loved it. I've gone by Desi my whole life and I've loved having a unique name. I've also had to spell it out probably at least once a week my whole life (I'm 30). It hasn't bothered me much though.
I have a good friend named Tamsyn (Tam-sin or Tam-zin). I think it's adorable and suits her perfectly.
I'm leaning towards Leeannah or Leannah for a girl (get to choose two names for being on team green!). Can't figure out how I want to spell it. I love double letter combinations!

Shot All to Hellby Mark Lee Gardner
Shot All to Hell by Mark Lee Gardner recounts the thrilling life of Jesse James, Frank James, the Younger brothers, and the most famous bank robbery of all time. Follow the Wild Wests most celebrated gang of outlaws as they step inside Northfields First National Bank and back out on the streets to square off with heroic citizens who risked their lives to defend justice in Minnesota. With compelling details that chronicle the two-week chase that followed--the near misses, the fateful mistakes, and the bloody final shootout on the Watonwan River, Shot All to Hell is a galloping true tale of frontier justice from the author of To Hell on a Fast Horse: The Untold Story of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett, Mark Lee Gardner.
To Hell on a Fast Horseby Mark Lee Gardner
A sheriff . . . An outlaw . . . A legendary showdown. Billy the Kid-a.k.a. Henry McCarty, Henry Antrim, and William Bonney-was a horse thief, cattle rustler, charismatic rogue, and cold-blooded killer. A superb shot, the Kid gunned down four men single-handedly and five others with the help of cronies. Two of his victims were Lincoln County, New Mexico, deputies killed during the Kid's brazen daylight escape from the courthouse jail on April 28, 1881. After dispensing with his guards and breaking the chain securing his leg irons, the Kid danced a macabre jig on the jail's porch before riding away on a stolen horse as terrified townspeople-and many sympathizers-watched. For new sheriff Pat Garrett, an acquaintance of Billy's, the chase was on. . . . To Hell on a Fast Horse re-creates the thrilling manhunt for the Wild West's most iconic outlaw. It is also the first dual biography of the Kid and Garrett, each a larger-than-life figure who would not have become legendary without the other. Drawing on voluminous primary sources and a wealth of published scholarship, Mark Lee Gardner digs beneath the myth to take a fresh look at these two men, their relationship, and their epic ride to immortality.

Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings is a compelling portrait of an inspiring and inventive musician whose virtuoso skills on the ukulele have transformed all previous notions of the instruments potential. Through intimate conversations with Shimabukuro (she-ma-BOO-koo-row), Life on Four Strings reveals the cultural and personal influences that have shaped the man and the musician. On the road from Los Angeles to New York to Japan, the film captures the solitary life on tour: the exhilaration of performance, the wonder of newfound fame, the loneliness of separation from home and family.

Stylish is a free Google Chrome extension that lets you download and install a number of themes for your Facebook, Google, Youtube and Twitter.
Lets face it, we are bound to hate certain features of our most loved websites as far as looks and the design is concerned. This is where Stylish comes in. Even though there have been a number of updates, a number revamps to all Facebook, Google, Youtube, Twitter and yet many of us just don't really like the interface. No, we aren't saying that by using Stylish you will be able to get rid of the Facebook Timeline if you were thinking about it!
Anyhow, Stylish is pretty effective and there are a variety of themes to choose from for all the famous websites, Facebook and Twitter, the two best social networking websites in particular. The themes are more or less stable more often than not and there are a number of vibrant, subtle and various other themes to suit your liking or to suit your mood. We have come across several ways or rather have witnessed several (spam) links on our Facebook wall about theming Facebook but Stylish is most definitely your one stop solution for the same.
We do believe that it might sound a bit complicated but being an end user, all you got to do is download the theme that you like, enable it and boom, you just themed your favorite social networking website. The fact that it works for Youtube as well is something that made it all the more interesting.
There are a couple of bugs to deal with though hence the developers need to be sure of the themes before putting them up for they might eventually cause the plug in to crash and often led to the browser crashing down altogether. That is one small flaw that comes along with it hence we would recommend you to choose the themes after throughly reviewing it i.e. by reading the user comments and any other way you can.
That's pretty much about it. Stylish is the extension to go for if you are looking to theme up your favorite websites, the websites that you visit the most. So download the Chrome extension from here and start theming your Facebook and Twitter.

Wildlife viewers flock to marsh
Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area
Wildlife viewers and anglers will need a parking permit to park on the wildlife area. The $7 daily or $22 annual permit can be purchased online or at an ODFW office that sells licenses or at a license sales agent. Learn more about ODFW's expanded Wildlife Area Parking Permit Program.
Tule Lake Public Access Area and the Auto Route are open for the season. The Glass Hill Unit opened April 1. Visitors are advised to carefully read posted signs and consult game bird regulations before entering the wildlife area. There are numerous quality-viewing opportunities from county roads that pass through the area. Binoculars or a spotting scope will help as many animals are best viewed from a distance.
Hundreds of ducks and geese are using the area including Canada geese, greater white-fronted geese, northern pintails, American wigeon, ring-necked ducks, mallards and gadwall. The first cinnamon teal of the year have arrived along with northern shoveler and at least a few Eurasian wigeon. Shorebirds have begun to arrive on the marsh including black-necked stilt, greater yellowlegs and others.
Local sandhill cranes have begun nesting and single birds can often be seen feeding in meadows while their mate incubates the eggs. There are also small groups of non-breeding sandhill cranes using the wildlife area. Cranes can be seen from county roads in several locations. Report any sandhill cranes wearing leg bands to the Ladd Marsh staff (541-963-4954). If possible, note the color and order of bands on each of the bird's legs (e.g., pink above white on left leg; silver above black on right leg). The specific combination and order can identify individual birds.
Bewick's wrens, black-capped chickadees, western meadowlarks and song sparrows are singing. Hundreds of American robins remain on Ladd Marsh, dotting small trees, shrubs and pastures. The first swallows of the season have arrived as well.
Red-tailed hawks have begun sitting in their nests in several locations. Watch for Swainson's hawks to return soon. Osprey have returned and can be seen hunting over ponds on and near Ladd Marsh. Their usual nest platform west of Highway 203 is currently occupied by Canada goose incubating eggs so if the geese don't hatch soon, the ospreys may select a new platform for their nest.
Dogs are not permitted within the wildlife area, on or off leash except during authorized hunting seasons. For more information on access rules for Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area, please consult the Oregon Game Bird Regulations or call the wildlife area at 541-963-4954.
Bald eagles are common along the Wallowa River from Minam Canyon to Wallowa Lake. Bald eagles can also be observed near domestic cattle with new born calves. Golden eagles are common in the Wallowa Valley year round. Eagles can be observed along river corridors, Wallowa Lake, and often in agricultural areas where cattle are being fed.
Herons are common and can be observed throughout the Wallowa Valley feeding along creeks and rivers.
Waterfowl species such as Canada geese, mallards, widgeon and pintails can be observed on Wallowa Lake and throughout the Wallowa Valley feeding in agricultural fields. On open water bodies, ring-necked ducks, scaup, goldeneye and bufflehead are common species to observe.
Prairie falcon, red-tailed hawk, northern harrier, rough-legged, Swainson's and ferruginous hawks, as well as a variety of owls can be observed throughout Wallowa Valley and Zumwalt Prairie. Most raptors can be easily observed from county roads. A good pair of binoculars will improve viewing opportunities.
Mule and white-tailed deer are common in agricultural areas adjacent to Highway 82. Animals can be observed during early morning and late evening hours.
People willing to drive down the rough Imnaha River Road will often observe bighorn sheep north of Cow Creek near Cactus Mountain.
Elk can often be observed along the Zumwalt Road near Findley Buttes. Another good location to observe elk during winter months is on the Wenaha Wildlife Area near Troy. A good place to look is along the Eden Bench road during early morning or late afternoon hours.

One day cost Talawrence Brooks three years.
The one day was a missed court appearance for Brooks on May 15, when he was to be sentenced on an aggravated robbery charge. Friday, he was sentenced to seven years in prison by Mahoning County Common Pleas Judge Maureen Sweeney, three more years than prosecutors had recommended for his original sentencing date.
Brooks, 20, of North Truesdale Avenue, was asked by Judge Sweeney why she should not give him the full 10-year sentence. Brooks said he wanted to stay out of jail so he could be a good influence on family members.
Sweeney, however, was not convinced, saying that Brooks had a lengthy juvenile record and that he had to realize he was not in the juvenile system any more.
"This is the big league," Sweeney said.
Brooks is accused of helping to rob a man behind a South Avenue bar on April 7, 2012. A juvenile also was involved and admitted shooting the man, said assistant prosecutor Dawn Cantalamessa.
The juvenile's case is being handled in juvenile court.
Prosecutors were set to recommend a four-year sentence for Brooks at his initial sentencing date, but he skipped court and a bench warrant was issued. Because of that, she said prosecutors were recommending eight years.
James Vivo, Brooks' attorney, told Sweeney both he and his client realized that skipping the sentencing was not the best decision Brooks could have made.
He added he never agreed to the original four year sentence Cantalamessa said prosecutors were proposing for the first sentencing date, saying this was his client's first felony as an adult and that his presentence investigation showed that his risk of reoffending was very low.
Sweeney, however, told Brooks she needed a good answer from him because she was thinking of sentencing him to the maximum 10 years.
"Tell me why I shouldn't give you a 10-year sentence?" she asked.
Brooks said besides his family, he also earned his high school diploma and wants to earn his college degree and build a better life for himself.
Best thing I read all day. TY Judge Sweeney for making a fair decision. Do they still have chain gangs for people like this? He deserves more than 10 years. We need to make statements out of these felons. Gotta love the part where his atty. is pleading for a lessor sentence " but, but, it's his first felony charge" lol.

Atlantic International Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Sulfites in Casale Sun-Dried Tomatoes 2003 Crop
Ronald Vincent
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Utica, NY -- August 17, 2005 -- Atlantic International is recalling Casale Sun-Dried Tomatoes 2003 crop; are packed in five-pound bags, and labeled "Product of Turkey."

Marvel Comics has taken strides to include African-American characters across its various comic book titles since the '60s, including becoming the first mainstream comic company to feature a Black superhero. What isn't known to many outside Marvel's vastly detailed comic books world is that three of its top characters hail from the borough of Harlem in New York.
With Harlem Week celebrating its 40th anniversary celebration wrapping up this weekend, it's fitting that the "Black Mecca" of America would be the birthplace of X-Men standout Storm, Avengers member Falcon, and the mercenary with a heart, Luke Cage.
Storm, also known as Ororo Munroe, is an African warrior princess with the mutant ability to control the weather. Storm's father, David Munroe, was a photographer, and her mother, N'Dare, was a Kenyan tribal princess. Storm lived in America when she was a baby but was reared in Africa until she was a teenager.
Played by Halle Berry in the live action X-Men films, Storm is one of Marvel's most popular characters. Sam Wilson, the Falcon, was a former criminal who crossed paths with Captain America while on his way to committing a major crime. Armed with a detachable flight suit, Falcon also has the ability to connect with birds and see through their eyes.

Arm Injuries
Principles of Casting and Splinting - Article
ABSTRACT: The ability to properly apply casts and splints is a technical skill easily mastered with practice and an understanding of basic principles. The initial approach to casting and splinting requires a thorough assessment of the injured extremity for proper diagnosis. Once the need for immobilization is ascertained, casting and splinting start with application of stockinette, followed by padding. Splinting involves subsequent application of a noncircumferential support held in place by an elastic bandage. Splints are faster and easier to apply; allow for the natural swelling that occurs during the acute inflammatory phase of an injury; are easily removed for inspection of the injury site; and are often the preferred tool for immobilization in the acute care setting. Disadvantages of splinting include lack of patient compliance and increased motion at the injury site. Casting involves circumferential application of plaster or fiberglass. As such, casts provide superior immobilization, but they are more technically difficult to apply and less forgiving during the acute inflammatory stage; they also carry a higher risk of complications. Compartment syndrome, thermal injuries, pressure sores, skin infection and dermatitis, and joint stiffness are possible complications of splinting and casting. Patient education regarding swelling, signs of vascular compromise, and recommendations for follow-up is crucial after cast or splint application.
Pitfalls in the Radiologic Evaluation of Extremity Trauma: Part I. The Upper Extremity - Article
ABSTRACT: Family physicians often are required to evaluate patients who present with acute skeletal trauma. The first of this two-part series discusses the features and evaluation of some commonly missed fractures and dislocations of the upper limb, excluding the hand. Dislocations of the sternoclavicular joint are infrequent and often missed. Clavicular fractures in adults usually are not hard to diagnose. Acromioclavicular joint dislocations represent about 10 percent of all dislocation injuries to the shoulder girdle. Forty percent of all dislocations occur at the glenohumeral joint. Scapular fractures are often a result of significant force. Multiple views should be obtained in adults with a suspected fracture of the elbow. Complications in fractures of the wrist are strongly related to the location of the fracture.

How to Talk to Someone You've Cheated On
To some people, relationships are very sensitive territory. When cheating is involved, it becomes like a glass ball balancing on top of a needle. One wrong move, and it is broken. But luckily for some couples, there are ways to overcome the hardships and move forward.
1Tell them you're sorry. Cheating in a relationship can put a lot of strain on both people: If it has been a serious commitment, the severity of the situation tends to be tougher to deal with. But, by no means is it impossible to overcome. The first step is to make amends with the person you have wronged and let them know that you are sincere about what you say. Honesty, in this case, is an absolute must. Tell them everything they want to know. That way, if the bond between the two of you has the chance to regain strength, there will be less fear or unanswered questions.
2Give them space. It would be asking too much of someone by begging them to forgive you right away. Let them heal and process the situation. If they believe it is meant to be, then it will be. If not, there is still room for friendship and improvement.
3Do not get down if there is not instant normalcy. Feelings were hurt. And they can/will need plenty of time and space to heal. Do not force yourself on them. Let them come to you when they are ready for a confrontation.
4Be prepared for their emotions. Understand the circumstances you are both under and realize that this relationship can be mended if you work on it together. Listen to what they have to say, but also speak your mind. He/she is not telepathic, so they will need guidance when it comes to your take and thoughts.
5Be just friends. Understand that it is not necessary to jump back into things. Ease yourselves into a new relationship. If he/she is willing to forget the past, then know that you can get through just about anything. Recognize your wrongs, but give yourself credit for admitting them. Although it is easier said than done, honesty, in the long run, with only help you.
Community Q&A
- Your partner may react violently. Your partner has every right to be as angry as is needed, with murder being the only exception. No matter the outcome, it is entirely your own fault. But understand that nobody has the right to be hurt or abused. If he/she does react violently, get out of the relationship quickly and don't go back for a while.

Topic: General Gaming / Last Stand 3 Union City Guide/Walkthrough + Cheat
OVERRUNNED I think you got a few things wrong with stats and upgrades;
SMARTS-doesnt matter if you start with 1 or 10; once you upgrade to 100 you will get +7 when you read a book, and what is more important the price of items will be much cheaper.
LUCK-very important to find weird items, as well as extras (more money, books, bullets…)
BLUNT,BLADES,FITNESS,SURVIVAL-personally I dont touch them, as with just the books you will upgrade lots.
It depends of what sort of game you want t play; if you play the "long" version, I upgrade LUCK to 20 before I search anything, just level up by killing people. And obviously at the end of the game, you can kill as many as you want in the dock (I use only katana until this point), but the problem is that you can level up until LEVEL 30 only; so after that you will not earn any extra experience points

Raw Fish with RiceRichmond Restaurants — By David Mattera on August 7, 2010 10:44 am
I remember distinctly thinking while in Italy that I didn't trust the fish at the new sushi bar in town. I was in an old walled city that was relatively traditional despite a large student population and I felt like seafood couldn't possibly be fresh since the town was not right on the beach and instead was surrounded by big pastures and forest. Of course my suspicion has more to do with food culture in Italy than freshness of fish as you probably could have kept a fish alive out of water for three-quarters of the trip from the Adriatic Riviera to Urbino, the Renaissance town where I was living.
Lucky for us in the US, and more specifically in Richmond, unlike Italians we can't settle on one type of food so we have options and among them is delicious fresh sushi. At home I eat sushi routinely despite being two hours from any viable source for ocean caught fish and rarely have doubts about freshness.
Maybe the best place to go if you're a sushi beginner and you're still a little weirded-out by the thought of wrestling with a hunk of raw fish, seaweed and rice is Sticky Rice in the fan. With a fresh and creative sushi menu, Sticky Rice also offers all-American favorites like tots with Asian dipping sauce. The relaxed atmosphere makes sushi a little less intimidating. There's no pressure to use chopsticks and plenty of vegan or fishless options.
If you want to step up the authenticity, you can go to Akida on Robinson. I mentioned them last time as being one of my favorite places for a cheap lunch but you can get a really great meal any time of the day and feel fresh and full afterwards.
If you're in Carytown, there's Momotaro near the intersection of Boulevard and Cary Street. Another small intimate place with a solid menu, Momotaro competes with Carytown Sushi just a few blocks away.
If you're feeling a little more upscale and still in the same neighborhood, try Moshi Moshi. Fancy and carefully prepared Japanese dishes will run in the $15-$20 range for dinner but sushi rolls can run anywhere from $3 to $15. Head a little farther down Cary toward U of R to Osaka for another great upscale sushi restaurant. Try the sushi but make sure to order some Gyoza, Japanese dumplings. You won't mind opening your wallet afterwards.
If you're in the slip or the bottom, there are several more places to munch on raw fish. Try Lucky Buddha or Sumo San.
Richmond is loaded with places to eat sushi. They run the gamut from cheap to expensive, traditional to American fusion. If you haven't tried sushi yet, try it. It's much better than its parts divided, I promise. We're in a great place to do so, even despite our distance from the sea.
–David Mattera

nice post!
i'm curious as to why you didn't mention kobe as one of the places in the slip to get sushi.
Osaka – River Road location – comfortably chic atmosphere w/delicious cocktails. Their sushi and rolls are fresh and expertly prepared, but we really go for the delicately seasoned spinach rice and order two so there is plenty left to bring home. Also…
Umi Sushi in Short Pump – perfect, and expensive, rolls are their specialty. Way cool bar.
I wish there were more restaurants in Richmond where you could get real sushi and sashimi, rather than the ubiquitous [insert fish name here] roll w/spicy mayo.
Mai Sushi
7019 Three Chopt Road # G
Richmond, VA 23226-3600
(804) 288-5030
This is my favorite sushi place in town. The fish is very fresh and the prices are reasonable.

My girlfriend and I live in a really tiny apartment. I'm trying to come up with some funny thing to compare it to but everything I think of just makes me sad at the realization that the comparison isn't too far off. So with out any metaphor or simile I'll get to the point; as a geek I collect tons of stuff like video games, books, board games, figurines, DVDs, cards, etc. So every year I have to take stock and figure out what is important to me and what I can give the fuck away. This year my place is smaller than it has ever been (thanks California!) and I'm looking to get rid of a lot of stuff. First up on the board is some Magic the Gathering cards. From time to time Wizards gives me boxes of cards. I play with them, usually mini masters, or a draft here and there. But for the most part I don't really play. So I am left with shit tonnes (that's metric) of cards and nothing to do with them. I have been told they are valuable so, as a geek, I have squirreled them away.
Now I'm giving them away. So this is how it's going to work. I'm tired of all the "follow me on twitter for five extra entries" and "like us on Facebook for an extra chance" BS. I'm sure I will get over this soon so don't expect all my giveaways to be this simple. Buuuuut for this one all you have to do is leave a comment telling me that you want the cards, or that you like free stuff, or like cats, cake, girls, guys, or anything else you want to put in that little comment box at the bottom of the page. On the 31st of may I will pick a winner at random.
I will open this up to international contestants, but anyone outside of the continental 48 states will have to help me cover the shipping cost. I'm not made of money (probably because I give shit away) so I can't go shipping a ton of cards to Australia all willy-nilly.
It's not required but you can always follow me on Twitter @ThadeousC or like this site on Facebook by clicking the like button to the right.
In case you have any questions about the giveaway I'll try to do a FAQ:
Q: What kind of cards will the winner be getting?
A: Mostly M13 and Innistrad, with a few other sets thrown in… Return to Ravnica I think, and some Magic Unicorn Mountain something something.
Q: How many cards will I be getting?
A: I have no freakin' clue. A lot, more than a thousand less than a million.
Q: Are there any Mythic rare cards?
A: I know there is at least one, but I ate a few to gain their power (delicious!) so not as many as there should be.
Q: Can you post a list of the cards?
A: Really?
Q: How will we know that you, Thadeous, selected a winner at random?
A: Ever hear of trust? If you don't believe that I picked a winner at random I will freely offer you your money back, less any administrative cost I have incurred. Fair?
Alright that's about all I have in me tonight. I have been drinking, and I am pretty sure that this will only get worse as I go on. Now get to posting so someone can get to winning! Also, the kick-ass s'mores tins the cards are currently in are NOT included. They are too freakin' awesome!
Geek Out!

The Great Strike Hope
Is Jozy Altidore the first great goal scorer in U.S. soccer history?
Schulz, of course, wasn't alone in his aspirations. Altidore's MLS debut in 2006 was all it took to stoke widespread irrational exuberance. Here he is scoring a beautiful goal in his first appearance as a pro.
He's such an unknown commodity that the announcers can't pronounce his last name. ("Altidor-AY—he's gonna have a go!") But who cares? He could save America.
In 2008 Altidore signed with Villarreal—the first American (excluding dual citizen Giuseppe Rossi, who represents Italy) to transfer to a top club in Spain's first division. By that point, he'd become a vessel for the collective dreams of our national soccer id. He'd been saddled with impossible expectations. This happens in other countries, too. But Altidore was, at the time, America's only realistic hope for an elite striker.
In part this was due to his physical stature. He simply looked the part. At 18—heck, at 16—he was the same 6-foot-1-inch bruiser he is today. But he hadn't grown into his frame, and Villarreal was too much too soon. Altidore couldn't get on the field and was quickly loaned out to, in succession, Xerez (Spain), Hull City (England) and Bursaspor (Turkey).* No stint was more disastrous than Hull City, where Altidore played 28 games and scored one goal. From 2008 to 2011, he scored only three times as a pro. He was just as bad for the USMNT, where he experienced a drought that lasted almost two years and ended this June. Little more than a year ago, Altidore was widely considered a disappointment, if not an outright bust.
As expectations waned, however, Altidore thrived. A move in 2011 to AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch league, which has served as an incubator for other Americans, was a step down in competition and one that Altidore needed. In Holland he could make mistakes and develop at a natural rate. He blossomed. In his first season, he scored 22 goals. In his second he had 31. This season he'll return to the Premiership in England, with Sunderland, again with high expectations.
"I have brought him in and I don't hope, I am sure he will be a success," Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio told the press recently. "He is the size I need. He jumps hard and he is an animal. He attacks every space and his first touch is good. He is fantastic finisher and that is a good mixture."
Altidore has always had size and power. At 23, he has improved his touch, mainly because he's learned to make smarter runs and position himself better before receiving the ball. But the key ingredient is poise, which flows from confidence. It may sound wishy-washy and unscientific, but this is what every striker talks about and it is almost certainly true. Poise separates a striker near the goal, where he has fractions of a second to make a decision, to shake a defender, to find space and shoot. The striker must be impervious to doubt. He must be sure. He must be cold.
This is a cognitive function, not an athletic one, and it's why there are so few elite strikers in the world. Lots of players have the physical ability. It's the ability not to panic that is key. In his last five games for the USMNT, Altidore has scored seven goals and showed a poise he didn't possess a few years ago. He has regained his confidence. He has not panicked.
And he has benefitted from playing on teams that better undergird his abilities. In the past Altidore struggled as a lone striker. Without good service from wingers and the midfield, he was often stranded, unable to create opportunities for himself. At AZ Alkmaar, a crew of talented support players fed him intelligent passes. He has been getting similar service on the U.S. team from newcomers like Graham Zusi and mainstays like Bradley. When Donovan, the country's all-time assists leader, rejoins the first team, Altidore will see even more opportunities.
Many of those chances result from improved buildup play through the American midfield. The U.S. team used to dump the ball, often on a counterattack, to Altidore and hope for the best. Now, the midfielders aim for possession, as they did against Bosnia-Herzegovina, which allows them to probe for weaknesses in a defense, which then allows Altidore to run onto more through balls, always one of his strengths.
The thought of pairing a resurgent Altidore with another forward in a 4-4-2 formation should tantalize coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The brief 27-minute stretch where Altidore shared the field with debutant Aron Johannsson, an Icelandic-American striker Klinsmann persuaded to play for the United States (and who is now AZ Alkmaar's main goal-scoring threat) must have sent a shudder through CONCACAF. Johannsson was dynamic in possession, with a quicksilver touch. Combine his skills with Altidore's power up front, and the U.S. national team could have, for the first time since Charlie Davies went down, the potential for a fearsome two-pronged attack.
Maybe Altidore is in the form of his life, but he's started to look like the player everyone hoped he was, unfairly, four years ago. The proof will come next summer—American forwards have, after all, failed to score in the last two World Cups. Now, at least, it's hard to bet against him. The most telling moment in the Bosnia-Herzegovina game came after his first strike, the one that leveled the score at 2–2. Altidore ran to the Bosnian net, grabbed the ball, and brought it back to the center stripe. That is a player who wants to win and knows he can. That is a player American fans have been waiting to see for well nigh a century.
Correction, Aug. 18, 2013: This piece originally misspelled the name of the Turkish club Bursaspor. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

'I'm a bit upset I couldn't keep up with Valentino Rossi, who caught us up after a mistake at the start of the race' - Karel Abraham
Or any other rider.
Just barely beat the CRTs. Can't wait til the CRT bikes have another pres eason of development and (maybe) some slightly less restrictive rules.
keep dreamin
@CrashSlick moves, first a Stoner thread then a Rossi thread now you can sit back and put your feet up with a nice cuppa, and hear the money ching's as those hits keep on coming.can i buy some shares.
"He was simply going quicker, and to try and keep up with him would have been too dangerous," he added. well derr, he was last , caught up to you and passed,obvioulsy he was quicker then you, as he usually is.
Quite amazed Abraham lasted an entire race without falling off.Not a MotoGP class rider. Too slow and too crash happy.
So was Rossi on that chassis
upset, really? the guy that accomplished nothing in moto 2 is upset he couldn't keep up with a 7x gp champ.. Id say all those crashes are starting to show he may have suffered some haed trama... what a joke.
this guy is a joke anyway
I think he have to feel happy just because he was not beat by Espargaro, Randy and Barbera..! Next year i think he will have one CRT then he can fight and prove is talente.. If he was riding one M1 or one Honda maybe is history was diferente but riding the Ducatii dont blame him, last year he and Cal where roockies and Cal must have beat the record of crashes but still finish the year better then Abraham

text: Recently the president said the following in reference to Congress: "They need to do their job. Now's the time to go ahead and make the tough choices. That's why they're called leaders." Does the president not know that the Congress is made up of representatives, not leaders? Isn't the president the leader? But is he leading from the front or from behind? Nelson Mandela equated a great leader with a shepherd: "He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along, they are being directed from behind." Martin Luther King, Jr. led an entire civil rights movement from the front. He marched many miles and was arrested many times for leading from the front. Given the choice of leadership techniques it appears this president would rather be a sheepherder than a leader. The best leaders lead from the front. They don't delegate, abdicate or relegate the heavy lifting to "subordinates." They dive headfirst into the hard work. John T. Nightingale, Auburn
