Ex-TA captain Brian Witty jailed for rapes
13:40 25 May 2012
A former soldier who carried out a string of sex attacks has been jailed indefinitely.
Judge Nicholas Price QC described Brian Witty, 41, as a "predatory rapist" as he told the former Territorial Army parachute regiment captain he would serve at least eight years before he could be considered for release.
Witty, who told one victim who rejected him: "I don't believe this, I'm a good-looking bloke", was convicted last month of three rapes and one sexual assault on four women between 1995 and 2011.
Judge Price, sentencing Witty at Kingston Crown Court today, told him he was a "bullying, self-obsessed, arrogant sexual predator who was determined to indulge in fulfilling your desires, irrespective and dismissive of their pleas".
Witty, of Twickenham Road, in Teddington, south-west London, met two of his victims through a dating website and preyed on the others after chance encounters in bars.
But after he was arrested he claimed the sexual encounters were consensual.

The effects of a tornado that swept through south Mississippi a few weeks ago weren't just felt there, but here as well.
The Meridian Symphony Orchestra says that many of its musicians are students and teachers at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. Nine of the groups members lost all of their belongings, but thankfully weren't injured. The Meridian Symphony Association recently raised money for those nine members.
"Their instruments were not lost, which is amazing for all nine of them," MSA Director Mark Altekruse says. "Because when you think of the thousands and thousands of dollars that these instruments cost, that could have been devastating in another sense. Because a musician, you know, their instrument becomes part of them."
The community is also being asked to make donations to help those impacted by the storm. For more information, call the MSA at 601-693-2224.

PCC in the News
News: 2012-2013 Men's Basketball Preview--Lancers Open 1-2 At Ventura Tournament
A 3-point loss v. a perennial state power, an 8-point victory, and an overtime defeat opened the 2012-2013 season for the Pasadena City College men's basketball team this weekend. The Lancers were 1-2, losing the consolation title game to Moorpark, 88-78, in overtime Saturday at the Ventura College We Play Hard Tournament (held Nov. 8-10).
PCC head coach Michael Swanegan, in his sixth season in charge of the Lancers, is trying to build from last year's strong 16-12 campaign. PCC finished in second place in the South Coast Conference North Division, but had the distinction of being the only second place team in the state left out of the regional playoff field.
Pasadena appears to have put together a near-perfect balance of experience and youth. The roster includes eight sophomores, four returning lettermen from last season, two from two seasons ago, and two transfers, to go along with seven freshmen.
The team opened with a 66-63 loss to state pre-season No. 5 ranked Saddleback on Thursday. Lancers' guard Mike Swanegan, the son of the head coach, saw his first action since February, 2011 and poured in 23 points.
On Friday, PCC downed Orange Coast, 82-74, as letterman forward Alec Tatum totaled 20 points and 12 rebounds. Freshman guard Gary Matthews (Whittier High) added 16 points, Swanegan 13, returning forward Marquise Tolson 10, and 6-foot-6, freshman forward Bryce Clifton (Clackamas High, from Oregon) 10. The Lancers outscored the Pirates by 16 points in the second half.
The Lancers went 74-74 in regulation v. Moorpark on Saturday. With four seconds left, Clifton missed a 17-foot jumper that almost won the game for PCC. In the 5-minute extra period, Moorpark's Matt Ramon scored six of his game-high 23 points. The Raiders controlled the OT, outscoring PCC, 14-4. All-SCC Second Team and sophomore returning guard Chris Smith tallied 14 points, 6-foot-9, returning center Lorelle Martin had 10 points, and freshman point guard Jeffrey Dockett (Bartlett High, Tennessee) added 10 points.
Rounding out the PCC roster are transfer sophomores Alex Brooks (guard) and Stephen Shares (guard, Pasadena High), returning guard from two years ago Evan Brooks, and the following freshmen--guard Samuel Stirgus (from Bonnabel High in Louisiana), 6-5 forward Sylvester Ejchorszt (Vallejo High), 6-7 center Tramel McClough (Woodside HS, East Palo Alto), and 6-5 forward Elijah Barber (Burbank High).
"We don't have the super scorer like we did with Givon Crump last year, but we do have several different players who can put up points," Coach Swanegan said. "The maturing progress of the sophomores will dictate how well we play in pre-conference. Over time, our freshmen will make a difference for us."

Quote slim : "i went to azbilliards and checked you out where you confessed to switching to republicin and hiring an illegl for a housekeeper." Didn't find it, did you "slim?" As I stated, you are a lying POS. Now, are you going to apologize and admit you are a lying POS? Never switched to Republican, never hired an illegal, never was a drug addict. It's obvious that you are one of the AZ regulars and it's obvious you are a liar. Thanks for proving me right. What a loser you are, "slim"!
May God bless all of you.

Heres where you fired your maid. We got people going without food and medcine while you got a maid. Typical republicin complaning about working people wanting a bit of the good life folks like you woller in.
You aint nothin but a lyin cheatin republicin what cant run three balls in a row sean. Your own testmony on the neocon pool forum has done exposed you for the troublemaker you is.
My dear slim, the post about giving up on health care and voting Republican was sarcasm. See, slim, this is what I'm talking about, ole buddy. If you had read on you would have seen that the wingnuts on AZ knew I was yanking their chain. I just fear that you lack the intelligence to post on AZ and those tea partiers would ridicule you. And you seem like such a nice guy. I would hate to see them make a fool of you. Ask yourself this, ole chap, do you really understand half of what's being said on here? There's really only 2 possibilities going on, slimster. 1. You're a phony posing as an illiterate from West Virginny and you're actually an AZer trolling me or 2. You really are this illiterate woodhick who actually does believe everything johnny says. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take door number 2. First off, there IS NO johnny, slim. Seriously, dude! This is one of the trolls from AZ ragging on me- either lww or cuejoey or casual "angry old white guy" observer or slide rule. 2. When I came back from the service I wasn't some wide-eyed sucker like ugotda7. I have a mind and I was able to get past the propaganda. Most of what I said was true. I forgot about saying I was an addict. That was an exaggeration, no needles, no addiction. 3. The lww/johnny character takes my comments and turns them against me. No hitch-hiker ran from my car in fear. They made that up.lww is the closet case on this forum. I never hired an illegal for housekeeping; I hired a good friend who was on house arrest. Once she got off house arrest, she quit. slim, I'm 64 years old, retired teacher, wonderful wife, several fine children. These people I mentioned hate me and they have fun spreading lies. It appears you hate me too and have joined johnny in simply trolling me. If you are for real, slim, why not get off this crusade to troll me and simply enjoy the forum? If you are johnny or one of the other wingnuts from AZ, carry on. I guess this is your idea of fun. Remember, God is watching.

Like 'em but....
I really like these gloves but they stain your palms. So far, I've worn them four times and washed them four times and I am still getting black palms.
nice gloves!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These gloves run a bit bigger than the Gore gloves I was using. These are very soft and I have little/no hand pain during the ride. I have absolutely no pain between my fingers. Still a bit of numbness at 50 miles or so, but definitely much better than other gloves I have used. Those Gore were good gloves too, but the padding seems to have worn down and they hurt between my fingers at times(too small?). .
Your hands will swell after some miles, and on hot rides...keep it in mind when considering sizes (which vary amongst the different brands).
Very nice
These are great gloves. I was concerned about the lack of padding just below the fingers since other gloves have this. Turns out there really isn't much need for it. These are a great fit, the padding is perfect, and they add just the right amount of flash. One word of caution when ordering white gloves - they ALWAYS turn dingy in the wash. Stick to black.

On these Rossi Cora's gloves , how do u know what size to pick??
Hey Bert,
Sorry, we usually have a size chart available!
You will need to measure the circumference of the hand. To do this wrap a soft measuring tape around your dominant hand just below knuckles, excluding your thumb, and make a fist.
XS: 17-18.5cm
S: 18.5-20.5cm
M: 20.5-21.5cm
L: 21.5-23cm
XL: 23-24.5cm

OTTAWA, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say two teenage brothers reported missing in an Amber Alert have been found dead after a third teen pointed investigators to the bodies before being taken into custody.
The Putnam County Sheriff's Office in northwest Ohio says an alert for 14-year-old Blaine Romes, 17-year-old Blake Romes and 17-year-old Michael Fay was issued yesterday morning after a relative of one returned to her Ottawa trailer home and found a crime scene.
Fay was taken into custody yesterday afternoon when he returned to a car parked in a gas station parking lot in Columbus in central Ohio, about 115 miles away. The car had been reported missing from the trailer park.
According to the sheriff's office, Fay told officers that the Romes brothers were dead and gave the location of the bodies.
Autopsies are planned. There is no word on any possible charges against Fay.
Classmates and friends mourned the brothers as news of their death spread through the village south of Toledo.

Currently in its 18th season, "The Real World" series continues to generate strong ratings and is consistently the highest-rated show on cable among P12-34. Season to date, "The Real World: Denver" has reached 74 million total viewers and is the most watched in its time period among P12-24 across all of television.
"'The Real World's' global appeal has always been about giving the audience access into the lives of the diverse cast of characters as they deal with living in a foreign environment and we're happy to take the show abroad for the next season," said Lois Curren, Executive Vice President, MTV Series Entertainment. "The rich, dynamic culture of Sydney is the perfect backdrop for a new season that will undoubtedly satisfy its loyal fanbase as well as attract legions of new viewers."
"We are extremely thrilled to be bringing the show to Australia for its 19th season," said Jon Murray, 'The Real World' Co-Creator and Chairman & President of Bunim-Murray Productions. "Australians are fun-loving people who love to party so 'The Real World' cast should feel right at home!"

"The New South Wales Film and Television Office has assisted with locations and other logistical advice and we're thrilled that they've chosen Sydney as the first 'The Real World' location in the southern hemisphere. This is a wonderful boost to the New South Wales film and television industry."
"The Real World" pioneered reality-based television debuting its first season in New York City. Each season, the show brings seven young strangers to live together in a new town and rolls the cameras 24-7, witnessing as their lives intersect, their ideas are challenged and their passions emerge.

London, England (Sports Network) - In the marquee match of the week thus
far, world No. 1 Novak Djokovic outlasted third-ranked Andy Murray in round-
robin action Wednesday at the $7.125 million ATP World Tour Finals.
The Australian Open champion Djokovic came from behind to beat the U.S. Open
and Olympic titlist Murray 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in a match of the highest quality
at The O2 Arena. Murray upset Djokovic in the September's U.S. Open final.
Djokovic prevailed in 2 hours, 34 minutes, as he tallied one more service
break than Murray, who smacked nine aces in a losing effort on Day 3.
Djokovic, who will finish as the year-end No. 1 for a second straight year,
captured this elite eight-player event in Shanghai in 2008.
Later Wednesday, fifth seed Tomas Berdych will tangle with seventh-seeded
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who was last year's Tour Finals runner-up to Roger
This week's four-player Group A features Djokovic (2-0), Murray (1-1), Berdych
(0-1) and Tsonga (0-1), while Group B boasts Federer (1-0), David Ferrer
(1-0), Juan Martin del Potro (0-1) and Janko Tipsarevic (0-1). The top-two
players from each group will play in the semifinals on Sunday, and the
winners will square off in the lucrative finale Monday in London.
The 2012 World Tour Finals champion can earn as much as $1.76 million.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Powermeter Cranksets - Road in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRM Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 Wireless PowerMeter $0.00
By now, you should be familiar with the name, the Manx Missile. Charting the trajectory of his career through a couple of teams, and dozens of stage wins, one component has remained a fixture of his many bicycles—the Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 Wireless PowerMeter. Mixing Dura-Ace 7800 crankarms, DA-7900 chainrings, and the most sophisticated power measuring technology in cycling, the DA-7900 Wireless PowerMeter provides the most accurate Shimano power readings available.
The Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 Wireless PowerMeter matches precise power measurement with the stiffest crankset in the business. SRM pulled this off by improving the design of the meter's strain gauges. The eight strain gauges for the PowerMeter are a system of sensors that detect any resistance and vary their output when experiencing applied force. The next step is for the strain gauges to convert this data into electrical resistance so it can be measured. The refinements to the system offer stellar results. The 7900 PowerMeter expresses an accuracy of +/- 2.0% between 30 and 255 rpm with a wattage range between 0 and 4096 watts. Compared to the new G3 PowerTap that has the same range of accuracy, but only between 40 and 130 rpm, the SRM PowerMeter has nearly doubled the system accuracy of its greatest competitor while shaving grams in the process. You can also expect a weight savings over other power measurement systems, as the 7900 Wireless PowerMeter weighs in at an alarmingly low 820g with cranks, PowerMeter, and chainrings. SRM also extended the battery life of the 7900 PowerMeter to roughly 1400 hours, and provides a three-year manufacturer's warranty.
To provide a comfortable duration in the saddle, the Dura-Ace 7900 PowerMeter provides the best U and Q factors of any crankset, at 147.5mm. This is due to its reduction of lateral dimensions, and innovations with outboard bearing technology. More importantly, Shimano did this without compromising the driving factor of any crankset -- power transfer. The new 7900 chainrings are 20% stiffer than their predecessor, and this amounts to less wasted energy, greater efficiency, and higher top-end speeds.
The Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 Wireless PowerMeter is available in 170mm, 172.5mm, 175mm, and 177mm crankarm lengths in both standard and compact configurations. The PowerMeter operates wirelessly with ANT+ Sport, and is being offered as a standalone item. However, it is compatible with PowerControl 7, PowerControl VI, Garmin Edge 800, and Garmin Edge 500 CPUs.

Fort Dodge Glove Company Closes
FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) - A Fort Dodge company where specialty gloves were made since 1970 has closed, costing 22 production workers their jobs.
The Ansell Hawkeye factory closed on Thursday. Operations Manager Mark Lolley blamed the
closure on Pentagon budget cuts, saying the Defense Department was the company's biggest customer.
Lolley says there were be layoffs at the company's plants in Arkansas, Illinois and Michigan.
Ansell Hawkeye made gloves out of leather and cotton, and were used by soldiers, firefighters and hunters. It bought the former Hawkeye Glove Manufacturing plant in 2008.
Several State Legislators Face Primary Challenges
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Republican voters in this year's primary have lots of choices when it comes to Iowa legislative races.
That's especially true in the House, where 26 seats held by Republicans have contested races in Tuesday's election. One central Iowa district north of Des Moines has six Republican candidates.
The GOP has 10 primary races in the Senate including three incumbents facing challenges. Democrats have four primary races.
The abundance of candidates is in part a result of redistricting, the once-in-a-decade redrawing of political maps to reflect population shifts.
It makes incumbents, who normally would be well positioned to win re-election more vulnerable as they must introduce themselves to new constituents in the newly drawn districts.
The new legislative maps put 41 lawmakers in new districts with other incumbents. It should be noted that Le Mars state representative Chuck Soderberg is running unopposed.
Iowa Agriculture Department Quarantines Bulls
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State agriculture officials have issued a quarantine order for a facility where two bulls tested positive for a venereal disease in cattle.
The disease, bovine trichomoniasis (trik-uh-muh-NEYE'-uh-sis), is a reportable disease in Iowa. Officials say there are no clinical signs of the disease in the bulls, but it can be spread to
cows and it causes infertility.
The department says Friday that the quarantine will remain in place until further testing confirms the disease is no longer present in the herd. The facility was not identified.
Officials say this is the first known case of the disease in Iowa. There have been over 200 cases in Missouri.

Buyers queued up from the exhibit hall all the way into the parking lot at the Garfield County Fairgrounds Saturday afternoon for the annual junior livestock sale that wrapped up this year's county fair.
The individuals, small businesses and corporations who come to the sale determine whether some of the 4-H and Future Farmers of America youth will be able to come back next year with another project.
"There's no way we could afford to do what we do with our kids without the buyers," said Heather Jenkins, who serves as the Livestock Marketing Committee treasurer, and whose two older children, ages 11 and 9, raise pigs, goats and rabbits.
"I couldn't believe the turnout, especially considering how hard this year has been economically," she said. "We are so thankful to the buyers."
Despite the economic downturn, buyers turned out in droves to bid on 230 livestock projects and four general projects in the 2012 sale. Preliminary figures put the grand total at more than $377,000, not counting the add-ons.
"We have really good buyers every year and we really appreciate them," said Liz Chandler, president of the Livestock Marketing Committee. "When that last animal entered the sale ring and we still had a stand filled with buyers, that's fantastic."
Every year, a significant amount of the sale total is attributed to "buy-backs" or "add-ons." In a buy-back, buyers who purchase a project but don't want to keep it can resell the animal at a discounted rate, this year to Western Slope Livestock Auction. The money the buyers spend above the discount is considered a charitable donation. The buy-back program enables businesses and corporations "to help more kids," Chandler said.
In addition, Western Slope Livestock Auction was very generous with its prices, Chandler said. That enabled many buyers who came to the sale with a specific amount to spend to turn around and add any extra remaining money to the projects, ensuring each youth receives a minimum amount from the sale. In 2011, $14,219 of the total sales was attributed to add-ons.
The top price per pound for beef was $8. Goats earned more than $18 per pound, sheep were $15 per pound and swine reached $12.50 per pound. The high price for chickens? A whopping $49 per pound, topped by rabbits at $184 per pound.
The participation numbers for Garfield County are impressive. There were 92 steers in the sale and 75 sold, Chandler said. Eagle County, in comparison, had 12 steers. Chandler credits extension agent Kim Schriver, who is also the interim 4-H director and in charge of youth development, the county commissioners and fair board with the ongoing success of the livestock sale.
"This county has a strong fair," she said. "Kim Schriver believes in our kids. She asks a lot and expects a lot. The kids want to perform and excel. She ramped it up this year."
The commissioners paid for the large fans in the exhibit hall, which were appreciated by both animals and humans during last weeks' sweltering weather. More than one steer was observed Saturday afternoon, face turned to the nearest fan, eyes closed in apparent bliss.
"Our sale was fantastic. We have very good parents, our leadership is strong and the kids did a great job. It was a really good group," Chandler said.

New home market tight
Published: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 11:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 11:36 a.m.
New Hanover County's market for new construction homes is so tight that in some price ranges there is virtually no supply, area real estate experts say.
In many instances, homes are bought before they are built or just as soon as they are finished, they say. And the supply of so-called buildable lots – those with infrastructure and utilities installed – has shrunk to the point that some developers are being attracted back to the market, said Donna Girardot, executive officer of the Wilmington Cape Fear Home Builders Association.
But a new supply of lots may be up to a year away, she said, as developers must first jump regulatory hurdles on a compressed timetable.
Out of foreclosure
Many of the homes being built now are going up on finished lots in subdivisions bought out of foreclosure.
For instance, sales are strong at Anchors Bend off Middle Sound Loop Road, said Lisa Sanders, an agent for Raleigh-based Fonville, Morisey, and Barefoot, which is marketing the property. Homes in two sections are priced from $322,900 to $421,000, but that's much lower than they were planned before the former owner went bankrupt, Sanders said.
Another is Live Oak Village in Kure Beach, priced from $500,000 to $750,000. "Everything in there is sold or under contract," said Justin Donaton, owner of Coastwalk Real Estate in Carolina Beach.
But most homes in reborn subdivisions sell from about $150,000 to the low $200,000s, agents said. That's because builders bought the lots from banks at heavy discounts and were able to construct homes in the more affordable price ranges in most demand today.
Short on inventory
But those lots are almost gone now, said Ashley Garner, a broker with Intracoastal Realty.
"Yes, there is a shortage of new-home inventory without a shadow of doubt," said Tim Milam, president of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage Realty. "As a result, not enough houses are being built to meet demand."
That shows up in the home sale numbers.
"On average, we had 5.6 months of inventory (of homes) at the end of the second quarter," Garner said. That means that it would take that long to sell all the new-construction homes on the market at the current rate. "That's a sellers market, and that includes the higher price ranges."
In some lower price ranges, there's not even a month's worth of homes left to sell, Garner said.
There is only a 1.7-month supply of homes priced from $220,000 to $240,000 and a little more than three weeks' supply of those costing $120,000 to $140,000, Garner said.
The short supply of land and the high demand for homes has some developers looking at small, infill pieces of land.
Lantana Crossing just opened off Market Street and Judges Road. The subdivision comprises about 80 lots and homes start just under $200,000, said Milam, whose firm is marketing the project.
To the south, Nathan Sanders of Sanco Homes is ready to break ground on a 12-home subdivision off Harper Road in Carolina Beach called The Porches, priced from $275,000 to $300,000.
Land's the problem
"The only thing that's limited building is to have the land to build on," Girardot said. "Most of the (developed) properties are pretty well bought up."
"We're running out of dirt," said Buddy Blake of Re/Max Essential. "What's left has a lot of wetlands. It's tough. There's a reason the land is left over – it wasn't easy to develop."
Though it's tough, that isn't putting off the developers who were smart or lucky enough to have survived the housing depression.
That development, however, is going to take time, Girardot said, because developers face governmental and environmental regulations that have to be met on a tight schedule. Banks want a turnaround in the sale of their land of only about 90 days, she said.
Indeed, many of the permits to develop the land – stormwater, wastewater and CAMA, for example – have expired, Girardot said. A state law that extended the permits expired in 2011, she pointed out.
But a bill passed by the General Assembly this year will help some developers because it allows permits that were granted before the housing bust to be transferred when the land changes hands, Girardot said.
That eliminates the lengthy process of getting new permits, and those are the lots – most in existing subdivisions – that will come on the market soonest.

Immortelle is a wild and mysterious flower from Corsica, which yields a miraculous essential oil - a precious elixir of youth. L'Occitane's Immortelle anti-aging skin care reduces signs of aging by multiplying collagen production, improving microcirculation and fighting against free radicals. One of the most difficult skin conditions to address is the inevitable aging. The L'Occitane Immortelle line was developed to treat all of the common symptoms of mature skin including wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
L'Occitane Immortelle offers nourishing formulations in a variety of products that can be used every day to help alleviate the signs of aging as well as prevent further damage to the skin. L'Occitane Immortelle products work best when used in combination on a daily basis. All of the available items in the L'Occitane Immortelle are designed to complement each other, leaving the skin soft, supple and glowing.
Nature often delivers the best solutions to aging skin. L'Occitane Immortelle contains natural essential oils that protect and repair the skin.
L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream is a dual purpose product that serves as a moisturizer and an anti-aging treatment. This cream can be used both morning and night to provide long-lasting moisture that keeps the skin supple and healthy. Other products from L'Occitane Immortelle can follow the cream.
The signs of aging are often more prominent around the eyes due to the thinner and more delicate skin. It is important to use a product that is specially formulated for this area. L'Occitane Immortelle Eye Balm is a very gentle product that nourishes and plumps the skin around the eye area. This eye balm takes on all of the common eye concerns such as fine lines, dark circles and puffiness. The eyes are left looking brighter, younger and more alive.
While using a daily moisturizer often provides all of the hydration the skin needs, some skin is in need of an extra boost. L'Occitane Immortelle Face Cream Mask is an intensive moisturizing treatment for skin that is normal, dry or very dry. This mask is rich in vitamins and rice peptides to deeply nourish the skin.
A nighttime treatment can provide amazing reparative properties during the sleeping hours when skin repairs itself. L'Occitane Immortelle Very Precious Cream delivers results after just four weeks of regular nightly use. Wrinkles are reduced, tone is improved and the skin's surface is smoothed.

I'm so sad. I was so excited to make christmas fudge and chose this recipe and followed it to the T! I let it sit in the fridge overnight, but it's still so sticky and soft! I want to cry. I added more chips and reboiled it... hoping it will help it harden. I spent a lot of money on the ingredients and hoping I don't have to throw it out. I seriously cannot think of where it went wrong?!

Charlotte 500 Race Recap
Posted by: lori on Oct 15, 2012
Tagged in: Untagged
For Immediate Release
Shifter Issues Plague Casey Mears and GEICO Racing Team at Charlotte
CONCORD, N.C. (October 14, 2012) – In the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, things can change in a blink of an eye. Last week at Talladega Superspeedway, Casey Mears drove his way to the front of the field, leading laps and placing his No. 13 GEICO Ford in position for the win. Fast-forward seven days and Mears is plagued by shifter issues for the majority of Saturday night's 500-mile race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and relegated to a 29th-place finish.
On Thursday night, Mears took to the track for his qualifying effort. After clocking a lap of 28.417 seconds, the GEICO Ford was placed in the 27th starting position for Saturday night's event under the lights.
The green flag flew shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET and quickly Mears gained eight positions within the first two laps to move into the top-20. Three cautions slowed the pace during the first 40 laps and Mears brought his Ford to pit road for fresh tires, fuel, and adjustments to help with the handling.
The veteran driver looked to move forward but the Germain Racing Ford was tight on entry and exit, hindering his drive through the corner. A lengthy caution-free period ensued, forcing Mears to come to pit road for green flag stops.
On lap 165, Mears reported to Crew Chief Bootie Barker that the No. 13 GEICO Ford had all of sudden become extremely tight. Despite the handling condition, Mears' lap times remained consistent, allowing the team to make the decision to stay out and not pit. A timely caution came just a few laps later, giving Mears the opportunity to visit pit road for fresh tires and fuel.
While running inside the top-25, Mears' shifter handle came off, transforming a simple task into a challenging one. The GEICO Ford was stuck in fourth gear for restarts and leaving pit road, causing the Ford to not achieve maximum speed quickly. Another green flag run consumed the final 100 laps, giving the team little time to help fix the shifter issue. As the checkered flag flew on the 334-lap event, Mears crossed the finish line in the 29th position.
"It was a tough night for us," said Mears, after the race. "The GEICO Ford was definitely better than practice, but we still needed a little more. Our night went downhill when the shifter broke just past halfway. The car was stuck in fourth gear so restarts and getting off pit road were tough. There are only a few more weeks left this season and I'm looking forward to finishing strong."
The GEICO Racing team will head to Kansas Speedway for an open test prior to the race on Sunday, October 21st. The Hollywood Casino 400 will begin at 1 p.m. ET and can be seen live on ESPN. MRN Radio and Sirius XM Radio will also have the live radio broadcast.

I have migrated to ZD for three accounts, two POP and one IMAP. I was able to download emails from each of the accounts. Suddenly yesterday afternoon the syncronization to the IMAP account failed. When I call for synchronization, the rotating circle run a long time and then always return the red box showing the account was placed offline. I have run a debug trace, in case that would help someone identify what is going on, and will attach the log printout for the event as an attachment. I do not think I have made any changes to the account settings.
I can verify the IMAP server is running correctly using another email reader. There are emails to be downloaded if connection can be re-established. I have verified all the account settings. I have rebooted the computer and restarted ZD to no avail.

Gary Johnson is running for President as a Libertarian party candidate
Johnson, former governor of New Mexixo, was also co-founder/owner of Big J Enterprises, a one-person, fix-it business that grew to become one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico with 1,000 employees.
Governor of New Mexico, 1994-2002
By the most recent June 30 reporting date, Johnson had raised $180,237.
The Albuquerque Journal, OurAmericaInitiative.com, Salon.com
As a two-term governor of New Mexico, he showed a Libertarian streak and emphasized a business approach to governing. A term-limits law prohibited him from seeking re-election.
Johnson takes credit for cutting the rate of growth of state government, privatizing half of state prisons and shifting state Medicaid to managed care.
He said he can fix what he calls America's bankrupt status by asking two questions: What are we spending our money on? What are we getting in return?
Some of his policy positions are far from conventional for a Republican presidential nominee: While he doesn't smoke marijuana, he believes it should be legal. Arguably 75 percent of border violence with Mexican drug cartels is marijuana-related, he said. Johnson believes women have the right to choose an abortion "up until the viability of the fetus." He said he opposed the Iraq war from the start, and though he initially supported the war in Afghanistan, he no longer believes U.S. troops should be there. He has said he would not have signed the Arizona immigration law because he's concerned it could lead to racial profiling.
Johnson was raised Lutheran and says he's tried to live according to Christian principles, but he's not a church-going Republican. "I don't think you'll ever hear me invoking God in anything I do," he told Salon.

Please Rate this Review: Ico (HD)
Holding her hand.
Repeatedly knocking down the shadow creatures and repeatedly watching them rise again.
The inhuman upper body strength of Ico.
Back in 2001 when Ico was first released there was scarcely anything quite like it. Perhaps, like many games of the past, it was over-praised for being something different where now it may seem aged a feat of its time and little else. Now given a re-release and the HD treatment, Ico is perhaps just another example of a developer aiming to cash in on nostalgia. What is strange, however, is that Ico in 2011 is grabbing players in the same way it did 10 years ago, players who are entering its castle chambers for the very first time.
Playing Ico is much like experiencing a dream. You have little idea of how everything has come about, or how you got to where you are, yet everything seems natural, and thus you comfortably proceed through your imagination. The game begins with little explanation, following a young boy named Ico as his captors escort him to a castle isolated upon a misty island. Although normal in every other respect, Ico possesses a feature unlike most boys his age two horns that protrude from his head. It is because his horns that he is entombed in the basement of this abandoned fortress, and then by a great stroke of luck, is able to break free. Shortly after exploring past the remains of his broken stone tomb, Ico discovers a girl, Yorda, caged high above ground in the neighboring tower. Ico then takes it upon himself to free the girl, and so your adventure with Yorda begins.
Yorda brings a very unique presence to the game as you guide and protect her throughout the journey.
Primarily a puzzle adventure, youll engage in the typical practice of moving crates, activating switches, lowering bridges, and platforming across gaps and ledges in order to create a useable path for Yorda as you both seek for a way to escape the island. The puzzle process is very well conceived, with only a few possible instances of being stumped for what may turn out to be rather straightforward, yet uncanny solutions. The main question of each area is how to get Yorda in a certain place, and end with you by her side. However, it soon becomes clear that the castle does not wish for Yorda to leave, as shadowy creatures emerge through its stone floors to steal her back from you as the game proceeds. Once again, explanation comes slowly through only a few custscenes dispersed throughout the entire playthrough, and as Ico and Yorda seem to share different languages, there is little dialogue to establish a relationship yet one is certainly there, and its very real.
As told through the games brilliant yet simple animations, Yorda is seen as dainty and frail. She looks noticeably nervous as she watches Ico take on courageous feats of heights and leaps, and at the start of the game seems reluctant to trust you. Guiding her through use of the R1 button, you can call out to Yorda when a path is ready, reach out to catch her when she leaps a gap, pull her up to the ledge of a high wall, and most iconically hold her hand.
Yorda possess some sort of power that will allow you to push past magically sealed entrances.
Escorting A.I. companions has become a rather infamous affair in gaming. These segments are often considered troublesome, annoying, and bring the experience of many games to an archaic standstill. With this in mind, its very interesting to see how the entirety of Ico is built upon guiding a rather useless A.I. through puzzles, defending her from enemies in between, and yet somehow at the end of it all isnt reflected upon negatively. In fact, its the fragile nature of Yorda, her uselessness, which makes her one of the most interesting elements to be used in a video game.
Your companion, along with the deliberate pace of the overall game and its puzzles comes together in a very moving way when placed within the games immaculately created atmosphere. Icos visuals more than stand the test of time they continue to impress, and the immersive art direction only proves to benefit from the HD upgrade. The castle is incredibly lonely; with stone rooms of huge scale where only the crackling sound of torches and the patter of footsteps from Ico and his barefooted friend reverberate off the walls. Youll witness excellent examples of level design as you explore the castles towering walls and courtyards, sometimes backtracking to areas in new and exciting ways. Stepping outside introduces an incredibly bright sunlight thats both warm and inviting, and the camera pans unlike any other, reaching far across the screen, drifting over enchanting landscapes before you feel its pull back towards the task at hand. No life bars, meters, or text are to be seen.
The castle is haunting, and at the same time beautiful.
Yordas pale figure emits a subtle white glow, and she is often seen patiently awaiting your return, her torn dress flapping in the wind while all that can be heard is the breeze and chirping of the birds and it is at these moments that Ico is most moving. Gently tugging this sheepish girl along by the hand amongst the vibrantly colored outdoors or empty castle towers has the potential to move players in ways that remains unique even a decade later. It involves a youthful attachment, one that can make you uncomfortable should your companion ever leave your view.
However, its not to say that this 4-6 hour escort mission isnt tedious at times. The camera, though interesting, can give you awkward angles in combat, and jumping to your death as a result of unsure distances and having trouble lining up leaps to narrow chains is a very real, and sometimes frustrating occurrence. The shadowy creatures after Yorda also tend to overstay their welcome, coming in large waves that create a panicky process of running back and forth at one end trying to wack at enemies who possess difficult to strike hitboxes and rise back up numerous times, and at the other end making sure to grab Yorda before she is sucked into a pool of darkness. Fortunately, the creatures typically only come when youre not knee deep in puzzle solving.
You must solve what's ahead in order to create manageable distances that Yorda can overcome.
Despite these annoyances, they bear little weight on what the player will take away from the ultimate experience. The game is very meticulous in its puzzles, and players always looking to swing their stick or constantly leap from ledge to ledge will find the experience resoundingly average, even painful. Perhaps in any other game, waiting for your companion to slowly climb a substantially lengthy ladder step by step, ever so cautiously as Yorda does would be an absolutely deplorable experience. And yet youll stand there, and wait, not in impatience but with understanding, awaiting Yorda, your bright beacon of hope two lost youth looking for freedom.
Ico is a curious game to lend judgment to as its experience can certainly vary depending on what players choose to take from it. Its eerie in its presentation, thoughtful in design, and profoundly vivid throughout. Though created with gaming elements were all too familiar with ledges, ropes, levers, and 3 swing combos Ico is able to grab at our hearts in a masterfully conceived way. At one point in the game, Yorda will periodically stumble to the ground as you try to run her along at your usual brisk pace. What is perhaps the greatest example of the effect this game has on its players is that some will, at this moment, slow their pace. Not because it is more efficient to do so, but because she is in pain this fictional A.I. character with no usefulness about her is in pain, and it concerns you.
This game was obtained via retail store and reviewed on the Playstation 3. Approximately 7 hours of play was devoted to the single-player mode (completed once).

Re: Please Rate this Review: Ico (HD)
A good first draft. However, in my opinion, you give too much importance on telling the story of the game and not enough on the gameplay itself. The conclusion is excellent, but brief; your review should expand on that. And finally, you criticize it, yet give it a 10/10; whats up with that?
Apart from that, a great review!

I agree with GameReviewer122. The story review seems to outweigh the gameplay review. Review of the story is important, but tie in the gameplay, both pros and cons, as you describe the story.
Also, don't tell us "Conclusion". Integrate your closing paragraph as part of your overall writing. The reader will pick up on the fact that you are offering your final opinion of the game.

A British pub in Barboursville (with video)
BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. -- The first thing to know about The Jug and Kilt is that the kilts the servers wear, both men and women, are real and the bright red London phone booth in the middle of the room is not.
"Basically, all my servers, whatever kilts they've got, they actually should know what tartan they've got and they should be able to give you a bit of family history on it," said owner Chris Shields.
"When a good Scotsman comes in, he's gonna know his kilts and he's gonna ask and he's gonna be pretty pissed off if you don't come up with the right answer. So it's a thing of pride for 'em."
So, cut Shields some slack on the phone booth at his establishment at 5636 U.S. 60, a few doors down from the Kmart plaza. "The real ones are probably about a ton of iron and very hard to come by. So, that's a bit of a replica. It's as close as I could find," he said.
By the way, kilt-wise, show up wearing one and you'll get a discount on your bill.
The Jug and Kilt is Shields' attempt to create a genuine pub experience in the middle of West Virginia. It's a mash-up of pubs from across the British Isles by Shields, who was born in Northern Ireland but grew up in the Kent-Sussex area of England.
"I consider myself an Englishman, but to do an English pub you're sort of narrowing down what you could possibly do. Like, for instance the kilts. If I was going to be a traditional English pub, I wouldn't be able to do the kilts because kilts are a Scottish thing.
"So, I thought about it and I thought: 'You know, what if I do a British pub?' You can bring all those elements from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, England together, and you can do them authentically and still call yourself a British pub. So, that's what I've tried to do."
Which is why the various flags of all four countries decorate the walls (as well as a few long swords). It's why the menu ranges from Scotch Eggs (hard boiled eggs wrapped in pork sausage and breaded and fried), to Welsh rarebit and Guinness Stew, to Bangers and Mash and Spotted Dick.
"The biggest one, which gets a lot of laughs, is the Spotted Dick and that's a traditional dessert back home," Shields said. "Basically, it's a sponge with dried fruits and raisins and it comes in a sort of tubular form and the spots are the raisins. We take the custard and sort of make it like a creme brulee sort of thing, a bit of a notch up of what you're used to."
For those not up on their British pub fare lingo, he helpfully defines "banger," which comes served with smashed potato, grilled onion and gravy,
"A banger is basically a big sausage, a link sausage. It's like a bratwurst is what the equivalent would be. Our bangers, we actually import them from Ireland. I could've got bangers from anywhere. But what makes it stand out is those little things like that."
The menu does have concessions to American tastes with a classic Reuben sandwich, a classic Caesar's salad and grilled salmon. But Shields is willing to go only so far.
"A lot of people have asked me when are you going to put quesadillas on the menu? When are you going to put chicken wings on the menu? The answer is, no, we're not going to do that. Because that's not the British side of things."
Then, of course, there's the beer. This is a pub that features 30 beers on tap, after all.
"I believe we have the most beers on tap in West Virginia is what I've been told. I can't confirm that. And we bring in everything from all over the globe. We've the Irish beers, the English beers."
Plus, there's a load of West Virginia beers, "which are absolutely excellent," Shields added. "The whole sort of craft industry has really sort of taken off from around here."
Local beers underscore the spirit of a local pub, too.
"What you would get back home is you'd get a traditional ale from down the street. Well, we basically try to do that here. The closest breweries we can get we'll bring 'em in and feature their beers."
It has been a long strange trip for Shields who has worked a host of jobs from mailman back home in England to being an environmental biologist in Louisa, Ky., helping coal companies with environmental permits.
His wife is a Huntington native, which is what got him here. Opening a pub was just "something I've always wanted to do" and then the opportunity presented itself locally.
He is careful to underscore what a pub is and what it isn't, in the traditional sense. He is also quick to distinguish his place from the "Tilted Kilt" pub chain, a kind of Hooters-in-sexy-kilts chain with an outlet in Morgantown.
"It's very easy to say you're a British and Irish pub without that authenticity. You can put a flag outside, you can put a shamrock on the wall. But I mean, really, the whole pub experience is a very social place, it's a very community-based place. Families come here. It's not just a watering hole."
(Which is why there a kid's portion section of the menu -- Bangers and Mash! Guinness Stew! Cod bites! -- for the "Wee Sprogs.")
"So, basically, I wanted, as best I could, to pick up a pub from back home and put it here in the states and actually give everybody that sort of environment."
The Jug and Kilt is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday; and 1 to 11 p.m. Sunday. Call 304-730-9858 or visit thejugandkilt.com.

Tattoos, piercings, printing and bands. Sounds like the average life of a teenager, right? Not in this instance. We're talking about identification for 4-H animals.
Most 4-H animal projects require the animal to have some type of identification marker. Depending on the species, that marker could be a nose print, ear tag or notching, brand, wing/leg band, ear tattoo, paint marking, retinal scan, microchipping or DNA sample.
There are numerous reasons to identify 4-H animals. First, it provides solid evidence of ownership if the animal is ever lost or stolen. It is also extremely important for keeping health records and harvesting data. Part of the 4-H record keeping includes keeping track of the animal's health statistics for as long as the animal is owned by the 4-Her. Without the identification marker, there could be much confusion about dietary changes, medical treatments, etc.
Another important reason to have an identification system is to be able to trace an animal's origins. The Garfield County Fairboard requires anyone selling an animal at the junior livestock sale to provide a country of origin label form, showing where the animal was born and/or raised. Many processing plants now require this in order to harvest the animal.
Market beef in Garfield County must have their brand inspection papers on hand at spring weigh-in and be ear tagged. Members develop a feeding and management plan to determine the rate of gain of their animal throughout the length of the project. To help them get started, we have an initial spring weigh-in where all the animals in the project are weighed on the same annually-certified scale for consistency purposes. This weight allows the member to plan their feeding plan to reach a desired final weight.
If the beef is headed for state fair competition, it must also be nose printed or retinal scanned. Some outside shows, such as Ak-Sar-Ben, now require DNA samples as identification.
Swine, goats and sheep all receive an ear tag as identification. Hogs are also required to have ear notching. Sheep going to the state fair are also nose printed.
Turkeys and market poultry all receive metal ID wing bands. In contrast to leg bands, wing bands do not run the risk of restrictive pinching due to growth of the leg. Rabbits receive an ear tattoo which lasts for the duration of their lives.
Horses are identified by their markings, freeze brands and microchipping. We require dog project members to provide identification on their animals. However, the customary way is through microchipping, usually by their veterinarians.
If your child is interested in joining 4-H or you would like further information, contact the Garfield County Extension Office at 625-3969 or visit our website at www.extension.colostate.edu/garfieldcounty. 4-H is a cooperative effort between CSU Extension and Garfield County.

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Buster Posey's grand slam punctuated a six-
run fifth inning, helping the San Francisco Giants claim a piece of history in
a 6-4 decision over the Cincinnati Reds in the fifth and deciding game of a
National League Division Series from Great American Ball Park.
Brandon Crawford picked up two hits, an RBI and a run scored for the Giants,
the World Series winners of two seasons ago who became just the second
National League club to win a first-round, best-of-five series after dropping
the first two games.
Los Angeles initially accomplished the feat against Houston en route to a
championship during the strike-shortened 1981 season.
Pablo Sandoval hit safely twice and scored, while Angel Pagan also drove in a
run for San Francisco, which also became the first NL squad since the advent
of the wild card era to win a division series after losing two in a row at
home to start.
Matt Cain (1-1) lasted 5 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and three runs, while
walking two and fanning five. Sergio Romo posted his first career postseason
save by recording the final four outs.
The NL West champions now await the winner of Washington-St. Louis in the
other NLDS matchup to compete for the pennant in a best-of-seven series.

ST. LOUIS – The precocious Michael Wacha did it again Saturday.
The St. Louis Cardinals rookie right-hander blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers on three hits over 6 2/3 innings of Game 2 of the National League Championship Series at Busch Stadium, one-upping presumed Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw.
WACHA WACHA: Dodgers may be done in NLCS
The Cardinals won 1-0, scoring a run off defending three-time NL ERA leader Kershaw in the fifth inning when David Freese hit a leadoff double, took third on A.J. Ellis' passed ball and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jon Jay.
Then, Wacha pulled an escape act that was perhaps more impressive than even the seven no-hit innings he threw in the Division Series against Pittsburgh.
A leadoff single by Kershaw was followed by a terrible decision by second baseman Matt Carpenter, who tried retiring Kershaw on a force at second. His throw was both late and wide, and put runners at second and third with no outs.
No problem.
Wacha got Mark Ellis to pop up, and after an intentional walk to Adrian Gonzalez, he struck out Yasiel Puig - on a full count - and Juan Uribe to end the inning. Puig struck out in all four plate appearances.
The usually calm 22-year-old bounced off the mound with a fist pump after fanning Uribe.
"I was just trying to get locked in with (catcher) Yadier (Molina) back there," Wacha said. "We took some time in between batters, a lot of mound visits, just to make sure we were on the same page. I was pretty pumped up after I got a couple strikeouts there to end the inning and keep our team in the lead there."
Wacha was removed with two outs in the seventh in favor of lefty Kevin Segrist. Wacha's line: five hits, eight strikeouts, one walk, no runs.
Randy Choate, Carlos Martinez and Trevor Rosenthal completed the five-hit shutout with Rosenthal striking out the side to end it.
The Dodgers' scoreless streak has reached 20 innings, stretching back to the third inning of Game 1 on Friday night, which won by the Cardinals 3-2 in 13 innings.
BREAKDOWN: The moment Game 2 turned for the Cards
In his postseason debut Monday, Wacha took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Pirates in Game 4 of the National League Division Series at Pittsburgh. He got the win as he gave up only one run and on hit – a home by Pedro Alvarez – in 7 1/3 innings.
Wacha lost a no-hit bid with two outs in ninth inning on Sept. 24 in his final regular-season start when Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman broke it up with an infield single at Busch Stadium.
How does he make it look so easy?
Help from his teammates, according to Wacha.
"I don't feel I'm going out there and trying to overwhelm people," Wacha said. "I just go out there and try to pitch to contact. The defense was making crazy plays behind me and keeping in the ballgame that late. They're taking hits away from guys. A lot of credit goes to those guys."
Wacha was 4-1 with a 2.78 in 15 regular-season games, including nine starts.
The Dodgers ruined a fine outing by Clayton Kershaw, who allowed one unearned run and two hits in six innings but lost to the Cardinals for the third time this season.

Global warming could bring us more Sandys
(Page 3 of 3)
That means we must commit to a national program to reduce carbon emissions that would help mitigate the worst effects of climate change for future generations. And we must be better prepared during hurricane season, with sandbags, plywood covers and evacuation plans at the ready.
We don't know –– nor will we ever likely know –– whether global warming played a part in Sandy's formation. Scientists are studying the matter as we speak.
Sandy should show us, though, that we can no longer stick our heads in the sand. Inaction could –– and likely would –– lead to mortal peril.

25th Anniversary Paso Robles Classic Truck Auto Show - Paso RoblesWritten by on December 1, 2006 Contributors: Rick Amado, Damon Lee 25 Years Of Custom Cool
To untold numbers of people, Paso Robles is simply a quaint little town off Highway 101 between Santa Barbara and San Francisco. The inland community is well known for its unique wineries, and tourists have a variety of bed and breakfasts to choose from. That is, unless you're talking about Memorial Day weekend, when "Paso" takes on a whole new meaning.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of West Coast Kustoms' Rich and Penny Pichette, along with a handful of WCK member volunteers, car folk like us know Paso Robles as the premier custom car and truck venue the West Coast has ever seen-and may ever see! While it should be mentioned that the annual Cruisin' Paso Robles hasn't actually been held in Paso every year (the first event was held at Lake Nacimiento, just outside town, in September!), for the most part, all one needs to say is that infamous four-letter word and any true gearhead will know what you're talking about.
Some faithfuls have attended every single event since 1981. Others, such as yours truly, may only have a dozen or so under their belts. And some might have attended their first Paso this past Memorial Day-but that's all it takes, just one Paso and you're hooked. Nonbelievers simply haven't had the opportunity to experience it...that or they just don't appreciate one of the finest assemblies of hot rods and cool customs on the face of the planet, period. Take a gander at the photos Rick Amado and our very own ex-staffer Damon Lee graciously provided. If that doesn't make you a believer, well, you better just start making plans to attend Number 26 here this coming May to see for yourself.

Some consider the football-shaped grille to be the central focal point of a '37-39 Ford truck. Well, on Dan Collins' '38, it's just the starting point. From its heavily yet proportioned chopped top to the classy color choice (as opposed to a traditional black suede or similar) to its hot rod-inspired six-deuce-topped Chevy mill, cool just begins to describe this truck.Are you seeing a trend in chopped '47-54 Chevys? Juan Avalos took a cue from Cole Foster (probably helps they're both Salinas locals) with his '53, laying it down in similar style with a satin finish over a subtly chopped three-window top. Look for a feature on this real soon.Lamont Sanford could have only dreamed of hauling his junk around in such a nice F-1. Jim "Lamont" Holguin, however, need not dream-his Sanford and Son Salvage '51 Ford is anything but a junk hauler, as you can plainly see.A CT feature-to-be, Matt Beckdolt's '56 Chevy Stepside is an exercise in custom finned aluminum, to say the least-check out the engine compartment alone (there is a 235 buried in there somewhere!).Bryan Thompson and his wife Christine came up from nearby Arroyo Grande in His and Hers custom commercials. In the forefront is Bryan's '57 Ranchero, while her chopped '54 Chevy takes up shaded grass real estate just behind.Another Beatnik trucker is Big Mark Joseph, who rolled down from South Lake Tahoe in his scalloped '53 F-100. The black suede is contrasted by candy red steelies, red-tinted glass, and the aforementioned red flake scallops.Part custom, part lowrider, all koolsville, Jack Rudy's '53 Chevy low-top now wears a new two-tone in respect to his club's colors-Beatnik Purple. The top sports a glossy, deep metallic, while the main portion is coated in a light suede.
A few years back, a simple fenderless '37 Ford pickup started a trend that, to this day, is still being mimicked.
