Skip to comments.Another Attack On The Giant Buddha Of Swat (Islamofascists Compelled By "The Religion Of Peace")
Posted on 11/10/2007 11:14:14 AM PST by DogByte6RER
Another attack on the giant Buddha of Swat
In the valley of Swat, north western Pakistan, Islamic militants have launched a second attack in less than a month on the gigantic sacred statue. The head, shoulders and feet have been destroyed while the militants threaten a third and final attack.
Islamabad (AsiaNews) A group of Islamic militants have attacked for the second time in less than a month the giant Buddha carved in the rocks of Swat Valley, in north western Pakistan.
Despite the many requests for greater protection, the government has failed to intervene in any way to defend the 40 metre tall statue, the second only in importance to the already destroyed Bamiyan Buddha.
The first attack, due to the extremists inexperience, had not caused irreparable damage, but this second one has destroyed the face, shoulders and feet of the sacred image. At the moment, the militants threaten a third and final assault.
Vishakha N. Desai, president of the Asia Society writes: In 2001, The world watched in horror when Taliban forces destroyed the monumental Buddha statues in Bamiyan, Afghanistan. Political and cultural leaders from around the globe condemned the attacks. And yet in Pakistan the same disaster is repeated unpunished.
The Swat Valley is considered a sort of dam between the northern reaches of the country, theatre of numerous clashes between pro-tale ban forces and the army. Currently, thanks to the state of emergency proclaimed by president Musharraf November 3rd last, it has been deprived of protection.

Where are all of the Hollywood libs who practice Buddhism? They should be justifiably outraged and demanding the end to this Islamofascist thuggery. Where is Richard Gere who professes to be a devout Buddhist? Maybe he is too busy playing with his pet gerbils.
The destruction of these ancient Buddha statues and icons is simply Orwellian. This is the erasing of human history. If these Islamofascists were to take over Egypt they would undoubtedly proceed to destroy the ancient pyramids and the Sphinx (finishing up the job that Hitler began) since these ancient pagan icons are not Islamic.
A religion that justifies the destruction of human history is evil incarnate.
You mean Napoleon, right?
"A religion that justifies the destruction of human history is evil incarnate."
The people doing this are fanatics.
Mohammad I: "Hey guys, what do you want to do today? "
Mohammad II: "I have some black cloth, let's hang it in the middle of the room and pretend it's a hot man. No! I meant a hot babe! Yea, a hot babe!"
Mohammad III: "We must all go pray now after you said that Mohammad II! Allah be praised! We must go see the Imam and atone for your sins!"
Mohammad I: "Go to mosque? None of us ever get on the front row! That's for the old guys and they will never let us up there. Anyone noticed that they never blow themselves up either? Just one day without smelling man butt please! Just one day!"
Mohammad II: "I like man butt!"
Mohammad I: "Hey! Let's go blow ourselves up! Wait! Uh, that's not what I meant. Let's go blow up that Giant Buddha! Yea!"
All Mohammads: "Yea! Let's do it!"
Mohammad II: "That Giant Buddha has a big ass! Let's smell it before we blow it up!"
I'm glad I'm not driving because I'm ROTFLMAO, great post.
I had always heard that the nazi army blew off the nose of the Sphinx when Hitler invaded and occupied North Africa.
I'll have to do some research on this...
This is just the beginning. If they take over Europe, all the greatest art of centuries of Western culture--cathedrals, statues of saints, Christ, and the Virgin Mary--will be destroyed or desecrated.
Somewhere there's a black rock that needs to be busted.
Just once I'd enjoy seeing a muzzie mullah running naked down a road..smoldering flesh attached to his back...from where the napalm was dropped. You want to conquer the tribal territories of Pakistan?? Napalm, Daisy Cutters and more of both. Time to rain hell upon these Orcs. (Apologies to Orcs)
"...it is obvious that Islamism too is a mental disorder."
What sort of mental disorder causes someone to call Mohammedanism "The Religion of Peace"?
Same for Jerusalem.
Wasn't it the Church Of The Nazarene in Jeruslem where some Muslim "militants" desecrated the church including reliving themselves in the most holy spots?
From Wikipedia:
Missing nose
The one-metre-wide nose on the face is missing. Some legends claim that the nose was broken off by a cannon ball fired by Napoléons soldiers and that it still survives, as do diverse variants indicting British troops, Mamluks, and others. However, sketches of the Sphinx by Dane Frederick Lewis Norden made in 1737 and published in 1755 illustrate the Sphinx without a nose. The Egyptian historian al-Maqrizi, writing in the fifteenth century, attributes the vandalism to Muhammad Sa'im al-Dahr, a Sufi fanatic from the khanqah of Sa'id al-Su'ada. In 1378, upon finding the Egyptian peasants making offerings to the Sphinx in the hope of increasing their harvest, Sa'im al-Dahr was so outraged that he destroyed the nose, and was lynched for vandalism. Al-Maqrizi describes the Sphinx as the Nile talisman on which the locals believed the cycle of inundation depended.

Muhammad al-Husayni Taqi al-Din al-Maqrizi (died CE 1442), in a book called "al-Mawa`iz wa al-i`tibar fi dhikr al-khitat wa al-athar" states that the face, specifically the nose and ears, were demolished in 1378 by a Sufi named Sa'im al-dahr, however the ears are still there. Frederick Lewis Norden sketched the Sphinx in 1737 and published detailed drawings in 1755 showing the Sphinx with no nose. The nose was gone by 1737 at least by 1755 .Napoleon Bonaparte wasn't in Egypt until 1798, 50 or at least 30 years later.. http://www.catchpenny.org/nose.html
Maybe my Hitler reference was just me thinking back to that movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and of nazis occupying Egypt.
Oh well. I do have the occasional "brain fart."
Anyways...I have no doubt that the Islamofascists WOULD destroy these ancient icons if they had the chance.
Buddha of Swat, Heck that even outranks the Sultan of Swat.
No disorder whatsoever (but I only speak for myself and my usage of this phrase.)
You should note that I put "The Religion of Peace" in quotes because this term is exactly what supporters, apologists and propagandists for Islam call this religion.
When I reference this term, I always put it in quotes and I use this as a sarcastic reference to the religion.
Also, there is a blog devoted to covering the crimes and brutality committed in the name of Islam, Muhammad and Allah. The site is called "The Religion of Peace."
Check it out at:
I didn't mean you, DB, but rather our "leaders" who seem so enamored of the phrase.
Yeah...I know.
That is just gutless politicians speaking and behaving PC.
Why aren't lefties warning them against an uprising by the enraged Buddhist street?
That I believe is a buddhist and hindu concept.
Islamists...they just can't help themselves.
That's why they need to be neutralized.
You never hear the leftoids complain about stuff like this as crimes against humanity, instead Bush gets accused of that.
BTW, I visit TheReligionofPeace.com — great site
These people are incredibly insecure. If they were so sure of their theology, they wouldn't be fearful of other religions. It is a waste of time to treat fanatics like these as though they were members of a legitimate religion.
I disagree, Darwin may have had a point in explaining eveloution. Given time, dogs and pigs will interbreed and produce a muslim.
"I disagree, Darwin may have had a point in explaining eveloution. Given time, dogs and pigs will interbreed and produce a muslim."
Now you see, that gives me food for thought. After watching the denizens of criminal court for the past 34 years, I assumed that Darwin must have been wrong otherwise the majority of those creatures would have been eaten by bears long before they got old enough to commit crimes.
The logic of your thought, together with the obvious genetic history of Mohammedans, however, will make me rethink my position.
Now that's how you handle it.
Or at least irradiated to the point where any human approach within 1000 yrds is lethal!

Alabama State University ordered to pay $1.1 million in legal fees
Published: Saturday, November 23, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 23, 2013 at 12:54 a.m.
MONTGOMERY | A federal judge has ordered Alabama State University to pay $1.1 million in attorneys' fees and court costs following a sexual harassment lawsuit.
The Montgomery Advertiser reported that Thursday's order is in addition to the more than $1 million judgment handed down by a jury last year in favor of three former employees who claimed two top administrators had made numerous inappropriate comments and created a hostile work environment.
In a statement, the university says the ruling on attorneys' fees was expected and that the majority of the costs associated with the case would be covered by insurance.
A federal appeals court panel in September rejected the university's appeal. Alabama State officials continue to deny the allegations.

FARGO, N.D. — A North Dakota man has admitted to assaulting his sister over a toilet seat.
WDAY-TV in Fargo (http://bit.ly/1qn4j2l ) reports that 24-year-old Thaddeus Morgan has changed his plea to guilty to charges of simple assault and interference with telephone during emergency call.
Records show the fight started when Morgan forgot to put the seat down, which made his sister mad. Morgan then pushed and hit her, and tried to stop her from calling 911.
Leah Viste is an assistant state's attorney in Cass County. Viste tells the station that the case was "simply a sibling fight that got out of control."
Court records show Morgan has been sentenced to one year of supervised released and ordered to take anger management classes.

Bunim/Murray Prods. has acquired the domestic rights to "Wanted," an off-the-beaten-path U.K. series that's part gameshow, part scavenger hunt and part suspense thriller.Bunim/Murray, creator and producer of MTV's verite-reality series "The Real World" and "Road Rules," plans to shop the project to network, cable and syndication outlets later this month. "Wanted," which just finished its second season on the U.K.'s Channel 4, pits teams of "runners" against teams of "trackers" in a nationwide game of cat-and-mouse. The longer the runners elude the trackers, the more money they win. At the same time, the runners have to complete a series of "missions" each week that force them into the path of the trackers. Company principals Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray will produce the show in a joint venture with U.K./Channel 4 and Hewland Intl. Format rights to "Wanted" recently have been sold in Germany, Sweden, Japan and other foreign territories. Bunim/Murray's deal was brokered by Mark Itkin and Ben Silverman of the William Morris Agency.

Yeah, Florida is wacky! Although, it appears that she ran into the garage to retrieve the gun, which is different than already having the gun. I know, I know... splitting hairs, but technicalities can, obviously, make or break a case. PS: What ever happened to the postpartum defense? I absolutely think it should apply here.

Democracy in Retreat
Democracy is the best political system in the world isn't it? Well maybe not. A new book claims that over the last two decades democracy has been on the retreat or at least struggling. This is so especially in new democracies where it hasn't quite delivered. But perhaps that's because the people being elected don't stick to democratic principles.
So how might this apply to the current situation in Myanmar? They had by-elections in 2012 and will have a general election in 2015.

A gripe against partial Democracies, or nominal Democracies, emerging-nation pretend Democracies aren't indictments against Democracy.
'Democracy in Retreat' is again a confusion of terms, by now a signature of this program.
As clear as can be:

The Grid Spouse had been after me for several years to get a new car, even though my 1997 Toyota RAV4 was running just fine, thank you. Okay, the radio hadn't worked for a few years. Sometimes a guy likes to be alone with his thoughts.
So more for domestic peace than on-road performance, I surrendered last week. The new Gridmobile is a Subaru Impreza. I name it not as a recommendation. I don't have 50 miles on the thing yet, and anyway, that's Warren Brown's job. Rather, I want to use the vehicle as a benchmark in discussing the adjustments drivers need to make when going from old to new in an era when many of us hold onto our cars for a decade or more.
A coincidence sensitized me to such concerns. During the car purchase week, I also sat in on a driver safety course in Camp Springs sponsored by AARP. That was for a future story about helping older drivers stay on the road. But as I listened to the lively and engaging presentation by instructor Rose Hobson, several things occurred to me: It's been a long, long time since driver's ed, so it's not a bad idea to get a refresher on what a vehicle can and can't do. The recent changes in car electronics are dramatic. And over the years, physical changes that affect driving skills can be just as significant.
The Impreza is a relatively simple car to understand. My sales consultant told me it would take about 15 minutes to explain. Some other fancier vehicles with navigation, cameras and crash-avoidance systems might take 45 minutes or more to review before the new owner drives off the lot.
About once a minute during my 15-minute orientation came the plea: "Read the owner's manual." Honestly, who reads the owner's manual? Many people will just consult the shorter pamphlet that constitutes an executive summary. Or call back the dealership and ask for a playback of the original explanation on some new feature.
But I still had Hobson's consciousness-raising session in mind. So over three days, I read the 13 big fat chapters of the full manual for a simply equipped new car.
These are a few of the many things that were different.
The key. The 1997 Toyota came with a key. That's so 20th century. The new version of a key is a battery powered transmitter immobilizer locator entry system. It takes 13 pages to explain. In my 1997 manual, the key got one page. Young people used to worry about a time when their aging parents might need to give up their car keys. That sounds so quaint. Now it's a matter of how long they can handle their remote entry transmitters.
Instrument panel. In the 1997 manual, I count references to 15 indicator and warning lights. That includes turn signal indicators, low gas warning, high beam alert and so on. In the 2014 manual, I have a list of 30 lights. They include the hill start assist warning light, the Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light, the Vehicle Dynamics Control off indicator, the windshield washer fluid warning light and the low tire pressure warning light. It's a challenge just to spot all the lights that turn on, then go off during a normal start. The familiar old needle gauges have evolved to include a fuel efficiency indicator.
Audio system. The 1997 manual takes nine pages to explain the radio and tape player, including a section on caring for your cassettes. (We did upgrade the audio system.) The audio instructions for the new car take up 51 pages. That includes instructions on how to control the system from the steering wheel, pairing an iPhone with the car's Bluetooth, scrolling iPod playlists, installing USB and auxiliary cables and using the hands-free phone.
As I sat in the car and made the necessary adjustments to radio, phone and iPod, I realized that I had done one smart thing: I was parked in my driveway. If I had attempted any of that on the road, it would have been disastrous. No one can multitask like that.
The Post's Lori Aratani just wrote that nearly 1,600 motorists were cited for distracted driving violations during April in a Maryland State Police campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of texting or using a handheld phone while driving. But Hobson noted that distracted driving comes in many forms, and distracted drivers come in all ages. Distractions include fiddling with the radio buttons or peering at a map.
She spent a lot of time in her driving class going over the importance of preparing yourself and your vehicle for a trip. She also showed the class a chart many of us haven't seen since driver's ed. It's the one that showed a driver covers 268 feet — almost a football field — when reacting and hitting the brakes to stop at 60 mph.
Cars are getting smarter in a hurry. Features that used to be add-ons are becoming standard, while enhanced navigation and crash-warning systems are being offered as accessories. Drivers of all ages want them. Older drivers see the enhanced safety features as key to keeping their cars even as some physical abilities decline. Younger drivers are comfortable with the electronics outside the car and see no reason they shouldn't be available inside the car.
That's mostly good, as long as drivers are willing to invest the time in learning how to handle this rapidly evolving environment before stepping on the accelerator.

Inland assignments had a strong tendency to fill Galia with dismay. There was nothing charming to be found in the flatlands on the northern range of Escova; in fact, there was almost nothing to be found, at all. Nothing but long stretches of blank sky and static waves of tall grass, that made her crave jagged outcroppings and sea spray.
Being sent to scout in the plains was a compliment to her skill, not an insult. It was harder to hide in scrub and low boulders along a road than camp out among rocks on a rugged cliff. But given her level of skill, it wasn't too much of a challenge to find a path out of obvious sight while tracking a target. Following the route of a troupe of road bandits would have been a stupidly easy task.
If she were alone, anyway.
But she wasn't, and that only made these circumstances seem bleaker. The details had changed at the last moment: Galia wasn't just observing the outlaw activity, she was also meant to assist another army officer in apprehending suspects for questioning. It was thought that they might lead to a larger ring of criminals, hidden away in some cave or village. Try as she did to insist that she could have achieved that goal alone, it wasn't really her mission to lead; no, she was merely assigned as support. A glorified guide dog for an otherwise lost and clueless soldier.
Said soldier was now trailing behind her with the subtlety and swiftness of a lame ox. To be fair, most people were of that speed in comparison to how quickly Galia could travel. But she wasn't in a fair mood; they were losing light and still hadn't caught up to the trail left by the last band of raiders.
The scout stopped at the crest of the next low hill, surveyed their surroundings (which looked just as empty as they had half a mile ago), and turned around, frowning. It took some restraint not to snap too crudely at him. "Yar Zaman!" she called impatiently, "Would you mind
dragging your feet?"

The grass was tall. It grew defiant all around him, shooting for the distant sky. It was thick and dry, with patches of bramble and thistle tucked into its heart. These pulled at him endlessly, sticking to him, leaving barbs and thorns on his vest, his tunic, and his trousers.
It was a nightmare.
Yar Zaman Jaraei was not built to scout. He was a soldier. There was nothing subtle or quiet about him at all. He went in, broke faces, and came home. He drank too much, talked to loudly, and had little in the way of decorum.
Which was why this was so hard for him.
He stumbled along after her, clearing grass and swatting at flies. He would mutter and complain. He would ask for water. Out here, in the flat, static plains, he felt lost. There were no mountains, no sea. There was no craggy shoreline which smelt of fish and surf. He was far from home, and he was more or less miserable. At first, it had seemed easy. He kept pace with her, and he was confident this would be a short mission. Just a few bandits. Just a few men to kill.
He was wrong.
The days stretched out, became multiple days. He wasn�t at all unfit, but for every mile he could sprint, she could sprint two. For every ounce of stamina he had, she had a dozen ounces. She was impossible to stop. And she never
He crested the hill after her, his hands falling to his knees as he struggled to catch his breath. His sides hurt. Sucking in a lungful of air, he listened to her chastise him. �I�m
,� he insisted, shutting his eyes and letting the breeze touch his face.
He opened his eyes to look at her. �Don�t they have
where you come from?�
Or was that word not a part of her vocabulary...

Where Galia came from was no more like this place than where he came from. Grassy knolls and verdant hills had been foreign to her eyes until the first time she'd set foot on the big island. She'd often been told by her nan that she could swim before she could even walk, yet walking had come to feel just as easy as diving in the sea. Her muscles burned at times, but it was a good ache, one that kept her alert and made her feel alive.
She rolled her eyes at him, replying dryly, "Is that your way of asking for one?" And just to answer his inquiry: "Where I come from, my cousins would laugh in your face for even saying the word."
For the most part, she actually
Zaman -- which was a lot more than she could say about most people she knew -- he was a good soldier, had a good head and heart. He just complained far too much by her standards. Maybe the men and women of her village weren't going on miles long jaunts with pounds of gear on their backs, but they worked on their feet from the first rays of dawn until last light, hauling in several hundred pound catches day after day. This excursion was nothing compared to the life she might have otherwise led.
Still, it wasn't any use wearing him out before they even got to the hard part. She relented, sighing loudly, "Fine. If you need to sit, sit. Drink water if you must." With a hand, she gestured toward a cluster of rocks nearby, though taking one herself would have been too great a concession. Galia waited for him to settle, hands on her hips.
"The longer we stop, the further they get," she warned, as if he didn't know the obvious. Her pale eyes turned away from him and up to the sky, "But...it's almost dusk. They may be unwise enough to come to their own halt."
There was a beat as she observed the landscape again, then she looked back at him, "How good is your sight in the dark?"

Well then.
Where she came from, people probably walked around until they keeled over and died. He wasn�t bitter about not getting breaks (well, he sort of was), but having one every dozen or so hours would be nice. He was sure the bandits couldn�t travel any faster than them. If they could, they were probably relatives of hers.
...unless they had horses�which was a stupid, jolting thought. Horses were too expensive and far too conspicuous on the Islands.
He threw himself onto the boulders, more lying down that sitting. His eyes instinctively turned to the purple sky, and he realized she was right. They had maybe thirty minutes of daylight�probably less. While she spoke, he reached for his water skin and began to squeeze out water, drinking it down greedily.
Her question surprised him. With his cheeks swollen with water, he shrugged. �About normal,� he said, swallowing. �Why?�
She wasn�t going to make him walk
all night too
, was she?

Watching him pour water down his gullet made her look away again. Not that she cared one bit about manners, but he just looked absolutely silly. A landlocked puffer fish. She considered taking a drink of her own, but she didn't
it yet, and conservation was key until they reached a fresh water source. At this rate, she didn't know when that would be.
He really shouldn't have sounded so surprised, or suspicious. Their next move seemed incredibly transparent to her, but that probably went back to their difference in mentality.
It was difficult not to come off as patronizing in her explanation, though she was subconsciously slowing her speech, as if conversing with a small child, or one of the refugees at the capital. That never really helped with their understanding, but it happened, anyway. "If you can keep from tripping over yourself or falling on your sword in the twilight, we might be able to overtake them while they sleep."
He would probably balk at that, think her madder than he already did. Galia continued a little more sympathetically, before he could respond, "It's not ideal, I know. But how much longer would you like to drag out our journey?"
She shrugged, again sardonic, "Not that it hasn't been
and all..."

He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and flashed her a grin. �I�m having fun,� he lied. Who
enjoy long, torturous expeditions into the wild plains?
You know, except for her.
He pushed himself to his weary feet and wrapped the strings of his water skin around his belt. He was still tired, but he could
do this
. And really, anything was better than walking around aimlessly in the plains. All this scouting had him itching for a fight�real soldier�s work. In that moment, he could fight an army of bandits if it meant going home in the morning. Two armies. A thousand.
He rubbed his beard with a damp hand and then joined her near the edge of the low escarpment. Twilight might have been a visually impressive sight but it was also misleading. His eyes couldn�t adjust to the fading light fast enough.
�Alright,� he said, tugging out some inner steel. �I�m ready. How far do you think they are?�
In that moment, he prayed she say something like, �
� or �
not far

She arched a brow at his grin, though said nothing further. To her relief, he agreed with her more readily than she anticipated, given his languid pose. Her attention had already gone back to scanning the terrain ahead. Bands of red were bleeding to a deep violet where the sky met the ground. It was almost a beautiful, romantic view, if one had any interest in either.
She didn't. Sunset was just getting in her way.
The scout couldn't answer him with complete certainty; she was unfamiliar with this region, but employing a little logic often went a decent way. "If they've paused as we have, I'd estimate another ten minutes, or less, from here." Galia leaned toward him to make sure their sights were in line, lifting a hand to point out a jagged array of boulders silhouetted on the horizon, "There. See those rocks? Shelter from the wind."
While the plains had proven to be drier than most parts of the island at this season, the chill of early spring still blew strong in the evening. The thought of spending another night of trying to stay warm in these conditions was incredibly unpalatable. Movement, and a little fighting, would certainly keep their body temperatures up.
Without another word, she started down the other side of the hill. Her gait was brisk, voice low and slightly breathless, "I doubt they suspect they've been followed this far. They might even be stupid enough to light a fire."

Ten minutes.
Or less.
If he was smiling before, Yar Zaman Jaraei was practically grinning now. He could do ten minutes. Heck, he could be generous and give her fifteen minutes. As long as they found these bastards and took care of them. As long as the Bandits had
stopped for the night
, which, if they were human, they had to.
He followed her down the gentle slope of the hill, his bad mood brightening with every step. He wasn�t a violent person, but there was something about the prospect of battle that stirred his blood. His father once told him it was an Escovan trait; battle was programmed into him. It ran like thunder through every citizen. It was why his remote, rocky village sent out a small batch of boy every few years to join the army.
He tightened his arm guards as he walked, fully anticipating a fight. Checking the straps, he then moved on to his leather vest, securing it against him. Finally, he checked his sword strapped to his back.
He was ready.
They hadn�t walked five minutes when his hand snapped forward to grab her arm. �Wait,� he whispered, his head cocked at an angle. �Do you smell that?� He sniffed the air. Smoke. Burning. His eyes almost shone in the fading sunlight.

Her jaw was set into a grim, thin line, eyes focused straight ahead on the point she had speculated to be the location of their target. She was a huntress prowling after her unwitting prey, ignorant to whatever it was that her companion was doing behind her. Fiddling with straps and gear could go on for a few minutes longer; they weren't close enough to the camp yet that she would have to hush him. Not that he was, in reality, all that noisy by most standards -- but if she could hear him, she didn't want to take any chances that anyone else could, either.
Galia's mind was busy drawing up scenarios and plans of attack. If the merchants who'd been victimized were accurate, there would be six bandits waiting ahead, outnumbering them three to one. Even so, the odds weren't against their favor; at least one would be on perimeter patrol, apart from the group, and the rest could be divided between them. They had a few options.
All of which were being seriously contemplated when she felt him grab her. Instinct kicked in, and her opposite hand flew to the dagger at her waist, but she had enough sense not to draw. Not all the way, at least. Ludicrous as it sounded, had he somehow managed to spot a danger that she hadn't noticed? Inconceivable.
Still, her head whipped back, looking around him first, then settling on his face. But she couldn't quite read his expression, features blurring together in shade. There was nothing else around them, either. Her eyes narrowed. He still had a hold of her arm.
?" she whispered back, though it was more of a hiss. Of course she could smell the smoke. She could even smell a trace of rosemary and peppercorn in the mix. But what did that matter? "They've made camp. Your point?"

For a few seconds he was confident that this information�this superior sense of smell�was going to win him points. He was confident she would find the news valuable.
But no. She
already knew
His smile faded and Zaman seemed to deflate a little. He let go of her arm, returning his hand to his side. �Oh,� he said, the corner of his mouth quirking to something not-happy. �I just...� Just what? She was a tracker. Of course she could smell smoke. She�d probably smelt it from the hill back there. She could probably smell what was cooking too. Meat. Potatoes. Man food.
Bandit food
. Yar Zaman Jaraei was practically working with a bloodhound.
�Nothing,� he shook his head. �Now we kill them and go home, right?� To make his point, he drew his sword and returned his gaze to her. This was her call now. This was her mission. He was just a sidekick. A dangerous accessory she could use to kill people.
And then he heard a rustle. The parting of tall grass. Footfalls on dry shrubs.
Something was coming their way.
was coming their way.

Yar Zaman Jaraei had an entire menagerie of expressions.
He looked like a kicked puppy after she'd dismissed his keen observation.
And here she thought they'd given her a
to help her slaughter some bandits and pressure one into giving up the rest. Galia almost wanted to say as much, but held her tongue for a change. No point in demoralizing him any further when they were so close to their goal. Besides, she almost -- for one brief millisecond -- felt
for snapping. He was trying to be helpful, after all.
Failing miserably at it. But trying.
He couldn't count on an apology of any sort, though. She didn't feel as if her response was inappropriate, given that he'd broken her acute concentration on their surroundings. Had he simply left her to use her senses, she would have been able to anticipate the motion stirring just behind her. She would have
the shift in the stalks,
the crunch of plant debris underfoot.
But he hadn't, and she didn't, not until the person making their approach was far too close for her liking. Galia ducked, locking her hand around her partner's wrist and dragging him down with her. The grass reached about waist high standing; from down here, it barely covered their heads. Slowly, she dared to peer over at the figure.
A man -- probably the one on guard duty -- stopped about ten feet from where they'd been standing. There was no way that he hadn't seen them. After a moment's silence, he called out, "Oi, Ed? Izat you? 'oo's wit' ya?"
So much for the element of surprise.

And then it was time for
She tugged him down, deeper into the grass, until they were crouching in the darkness.
A figure emerged seconds later, pushing against the grass and peering nervously into the distance. He was searching for something: a friend. Zaman made a mental note that there was another Bandit out there, and that he was also patrolling. His name was Ed and he was probably close by...
He ran his tongue against the back of his teeth. For a second he wondered if he could just lull the bandit closer by pretending to be Ed. It was a stupid thought, and the moment he dismissed it, he knew what he had to do. This was his job now. She�d been brought here to guide, to track Bandits through the plains...
Zaman had been brought here to fight.
He didn�t give her much of a warning. He just sprang from his crouch, throwing himself at the man. It was one fluid move. Cat-like. Precise.
To Zaman�s credit, he was built for this. Knocking the wind out of the man, he tumbled with the Bandit for a few seconds, rustling the grass and cupping a hand over the now frenetic Bandit�s mouth. Eventually, he managed to slam the hilt of his blade into the man's head, knocking the man out. He could have killed the Bandit--and maybe he
have--but on the off chance that this was a poor farmer and not a criminal, Zaman would rather the man suffer a terrible headache than a quick death.
He spun to face her then, seeking her out amongst the grass. He lifted a hand to signal something.
All clear.

It would have been a lie to say she wasn't holding her breath the entire time, from the moment Zaman shifted to when he was back in her sight.
Was she worried about him? Not exactly. He hadn't attained his rank through incompetence; surely he would emerge victorious in the fight. But she should have given him more credit for executing the motion with as much discretion as possible. The suspected bandit went down quietly, with none from his party the wiser. The sound was no louder than a heavy breeze shuddering across the field. Galia was actually
Careful not to stir the vegetation further, she made haste to where he stood, keeping an eye out for any additions as she went. Sidling up to the corporal, Galia nudged the unconscious man with her foot, then pushed hard enough to roll him onto his face. She shouldered her bow again and kneeled on the man's back, drawing a short rope from a pouch at her waist. Two lengths were cut. There was nothing to tie him to, so both hands and feet had to be bound with the tightest of knots.
Soundlessly, she rose to her feet when she was done, tucking her short blade back into its sheath. Her hands would be of better use on her bow. He could tackle and swing at as many combatants as he liked.
"So," she whispered, tone slightly warmer than it had been before. "I think we should probably make a plan before we try something like that again, yeah?"

Okay; so that was
one Bandit
While she wrapped and tied, Zaman surveyed the area around them. There was no sign of movement nearby, so he assumed Ed was a ways off, probably scouting the other side of the Bandit�s camp. If that was the case, they had time�maybe even enough to plot their next move.
She seemed to be having similar thoughts.
He shot her a grin and nodded. �Good idea,� he said, turning away from her to look out over the grass. The sun had set just minutes ago and the night�s darkness was almost complete. With the moon yet to rise, they were working almost blind. In fact, he could barely make out her shape next to him. She was just a dark object next to him. A dangerous object with endless stamina.
He turned back to her. �I�ll go in from the front and you stay in the grass to cover me. Deal?� It was a simple tactic. He approached the camp head on and she stayed in the shadows, shooting down any threat he could not handle. Maybe she could make it look like there were more soldiers. Maybe then the Bandits would surrender without bloodshed.
It sounded like a solid plan�or at least it to did to Zaman.

"Fair enough," she nodded. His suggestion wasn't a far cry from anything she had already considered, even before they downed their first enemy. "Allow me to set a distraction up first, though. Entertaining as it would be to see you go charging in with a battle cry, I'd rather not have to clean up any potential disembowelment and explain to your captain what happened later."
She was smirking, but he probably couldn't see, just as she had no idea that he looked so jovial. He, too, was little more than an outlined shadow. But once he was in the light of the campfire, she would be able to distinguish him easily. That was fortunate. Her eyes were sharper than most, but even she didn't have the vision of an owl.
"Circle 'round to the other side. Count to three-hundred as you go. The first shot will be your signal," whispered the scout. She glanced at him once more, "Ready? Go."
Off she went to their right. In the darkness, she bent low and hurried through the grass, keeping track of numbers in her head.
Sixty-seven, sixty-eight...
If all went accordingly, she would be able to draw attention in her direction, while he ambushed them.
Given his displayed prowess only moments ago, she was fairly confident that he could get to them before they had time to figure out where she was hiding, or that she was a lone sniper.
It should have been ample time for both of them to reach suitable hiding spaces.
She finally stopped and settled herself. The layer of clouds had parted, giving way to the cool glow of moonlight. Roughly ten paces away sat the group of Bandits, circled around a fire, a border of craning rocks at their back sides.
She drew an arrow, pulled back the string, and let loose.
Three hundred.
The bit landed squarely in the flank of meat roasting on the spit.

Understanding: Fragments of a Unifying
Concepts of past cultures have probably changed as much in the last thirty years as
have ideas of the earth system. The two massive data sets await reconciliation.
Gunn 2000: 227
The normal sense of a satisfying explanation in archaeology is that it makes a set of
facts in some sense intelligible by demonstrating that they seem 'natural' when
viewed from the perspective of a certain framework of thought.
Cherry 1985: 44
The previous chapters have given various illustrations of how socio-natural systems evolved within their environment as they developed collective and individual habits, techniques, rituals and more elaborate ways of communication and organization. These developments are sequences of processes of exploitation and adaptation. Simmons (1989) lists elements and stages of these multi-faceted interaction processes: domestication, simplification, diversification and conservation. Goudsblom (1996) stresses the differentiation in behaviour and power between people and animals and between people; increasing numbers and concentrations of people; and the specialization, organization and stratification with its interdependencies. In investigating aspects higher on the scale of complexity, there is kind of a trade-off: the distant past is badly observable but fairly simple, the near past is better communicated through writing and art but–if only for that very reason–more complex. As Roberts remarks: 'Because information shrinks rapidly backwards through time, historical myopia is created…'(Roberts 1989: 193) The scientific evidence, particularly regarding human-environment interactions, is also biased in other ways as explained in Chapter 5.


text: 000 FXUS63 KICT 251158 AFDICT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 658 AM CDT WED MAY 25 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 350 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Numerous thunderstorms containing torrential rains continue across Butler, Cowley & Elk Counties at 230 AM where Flood & Flash Flood Warnings are in effect. Thunderstorms are being sustained by strong lower-deck theta-e advection enhanced by lift induced by mid-level shortwave sprinting NE across SE KS. Hourly rainfalls are in the 1 to 3 inch range in extreme Ern Sumner & NW Cowley Counties. The cloud-to-ground lightning continues to be frequent & dangerous. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night) Issued at 350 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Forecast Highlight: More severe thunderstorms possible for SE KS this afternoon & this evening. Significant threat for severe thunderstorms with large-very large hail, winds around 70 mph & tornadoes continues for areas primarily along & W of I35-I/135 Thu Afternoon & Night. Today & Tonight: With the afore-mentioned mid-level shortwave continuing to sprint NE across the Mid & Upr MS Valley thunderstorms would be greatest across SE KS where aligned with broad ultra-high octane moisture axis. Deep-layer shear, more so directional, remains impressive & with very high instability there`s a continued threat for severe thunderstorms for SE KS both this afternoon & tonight. Thu & Thu Night: The greatest threat for significant severe thunderstorms is still expected for areas along, and W, of I-35/I-135. A deep upper-deck trof that`ll push slowly E across AZ & NM will undergo cyclogenesis as it lifts SLOWLY NE to NE NM, the TX & OK Panhandles & the CO/KS border. This would induce increased deep-layer ascent over the Wrn Plains that would transition E toward Central KS. The slow NE lift of the upper low would of course induce pronounced sfc cyclogenesis over SE CO & Wrn KS on Thu. This would strengthen the lower-mid level moist advection across KS with the most pronounced advection targeting Central parts of OK & KS. This time deep-layer speed shear would be strong & coupled with respectable directional shear supercells would once erupt over these areas & move NE. The supercells should arrive areas along & W of I-35/I-135 late Thu Afternoon & continue thru the night. SPC has expanded the "Enhanced Risk" N as far as Srn Nebraska. As such "Severe Thunderstorms With Large Hail And Damaging Winds" have been assigned to the afore- mentioned areas. Fri & Fri Night: The threat for severe thunderstorms is beginning to increase Fri Afternoon & Evening. The greatest severe threat would shift slowly E. For now SPC has assigned "Slight Risk" to E TX & SE OK, but wouldn`t be surprised if the "Slight Risk" assignment is eventually spread N across Central & Ern KS. Stay tuned. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 350 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 For Sat & Sat Night the GFS & ECMWF continue to agree quite well with overall pattern, although the ECMWF is bit stronger with the departing upper-deck shortwave, scheduled to reach the Upper MS Valley Sat Night. A 2nd upper-deck trof is forecast to move E & like it`s predecessor it`ll move slowly E & strengthen as it digs across Srn CA. A "lead" shortwave will eject NE, likely reaching Wrn OK & Wrn KS Sun Afternoon. As such, there`ll be several rounds of thunderstorms from Sun Afternoon thru next Tue. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 658 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Expect some scattered MVFR CIGS in the wake of the overnight convective complex. This will lead to some of the lowest CIGS near KRSL, KGBD and KRSL. Expect the low clouds to dissipate later this morning with VFR conditions returning to most locations for the afternoon hours. Will also see some lingering SHRA/TSRA in SE KS as the complex of storms exits the area this morning. For the afternoon hours, expect a dry line/boundary to push to near the KS Turnpike late this afternoon. Could see isolated convection develop along and east of this boundary for the late afternoon and evening hours. Think most of the convection will develop well to the east of the KICT TAF, so will not mention it in KICT just yet.

Snooki is known for making horrible decisions and this decision is no different. Recently in an interview Snooki said, "I thought Trump was gonna run. But he's not right? I would endorse him and vote for him." Of course you would, Snooki. You know what is sad, though? There are millions of people out there just like her! They know nothing about politics or history, so they vote for the person they recognize or have seen on TV.
Donald Trump would be one giant turd in the Oval Office, a giant turd with shit covered kernels of corn left behind by Obama and Bush. But, I better stop talking about this now before I go into a big rant no one cares about.
Snooki also talked about her boxing adventures in the interview. Apparently she is currently promoting a boxing team, why is she promoting a boxing team? Well she said, "I do love the movie 'Rocky' and I see myself as a business woman and want to get involved in everything I can. Boxing is just another thing I am excited to learn about and get into."
So, basically she knows her Jersey Shore fame can only last so long, and she wants to make sure she takes advantage of every business opportunity she can while she is still, "famous."
I guess she is not as stupid as I thought.

As an old Leica M user, I was waiting for a combination of camera/lens that would give me a digital Leica experience without the cost/weight problems. I found that in the GX1 coupled with this lens. The results are nothing short of extraordinary. Pinpoint sharpness- vibrant colour and relatively light weight. I use the lens on all my G series digicams (G1, G3, GF1, GX1) and regret that I cannot use it with all my digicams. I have a friend in the Boston area who has the same combination and we agree that it just takes your breath away. It is better than the 1.7 Lumix as far as sharpness and contrast. I cannot recommend the lens highly enough.

Rose has the most amazing work, and she is easily one of my favorite photographers on DA. This image ideally represents, what I like about Rose's work in general. That is the ability to represent her subjects in the most natural and organic ways possible. Her images, which take on a fairy tale ambiance, show colors of the seasons, and the elemental qualities of Earthy tones and values. Her subjects, particularly her women, are always shot to focus on the beauty of the form, and not to be an erotic study, but an appreciation of the subtle lines and wonderful contours it can take in the most natural way. The warm colors of this image have a soothing quality that is easily appreciated regardless of the gender of the viewer. I find myself curious as what the models pendant around her neck might contain? Based in reality with wonderngs into fantasy, this image is why I watch Rose's work!

I Love this series.... the emotion and atmosphere you create is Amazing... Absolutely Beautiful!
Beautiful light, great pose. But what's most interesting, I feel like this is a joyous version of sleep hollow, haha, weird perhaps.
Great work.
Great work.
love the perspective
Her hand and the light in the lavaliere (?) - AMAZING!
Beautiful colors. Great concept and execution.
OMG, this is UNREAL! no photo has blown me away like this has in a long long time!!!
i love the light and the skewed perspective. a great theme and a beautiful image.
Magic atmosphere and composition!!
beautiful light!stunning
This is gorgeously lit and composed! It's filled with warm, comfortable colours that frame and enhance a lovely model. I particularly like the glow beneath her hand on her shoulder; it adds another touch of magic to a superb shot.
this is simply amazing. Magnificent.
Her fleshtone and hair and what is that...a small bottle?...filled with light...all blend so well with the golden autumn leaves all around her.
I feel like I have to step slowly, trying not to break a twig or crumple a leaf, so I will not startle her.

Guide Andrew made it the best ever! Excellent knowledge and friendliness. Great accommodations. Animals galore. Jane Goodall experience a treasure! Protea lodge superb.
March 2015
My friend and I were amazingly lucky, as we ended up being the only two on our tour! Our guide, Finnias, was friendly, super-accommodating of any request, and was so much fun to be with for the four days.
June 2013
Our tour guide on this trip could not have been more helpful. He went out of his way to assist us and accommodate people's wishes as far as individual requests were concerned. The hotels in general were very nice, though the Bongoni Lodge was hard to reach. Game sightings at Bongoni were disappointing. The Kruger was exceptional. Elephant Whispers was outstanding, and the highlight of the tour. We are not shoppers, so were not really interested in the Pilgrim's Rest stores. Lunch there at "The Vine" was average. Time management was hard for our tour guide, due to other couples' requests, but he tried hard to accommodate and please all his passengers. His driving was safe and considerate of others on the road. His knowledge of the country and flora and fauna was excellent. The game drives that he conducted were outstanding.

(born 1946). George W. Bush, the oldest son of former United States President George Bush, emerged from the shadow of his famous father to be elected president himself in 2000. As a popular governor of Texas, Bush had won national attention as a so-called "new Republican" who combined traditional Republican party values with a self-described "compassionate conservative" social outlook. Bush's combination of country-boy charisma and boundless enthusiasm eventually helped him win election as the country's 43rd chief executive. With his victory, he took his place alongside John Quincy Adams as the second son of a president also to serve in the office.

Trent Williams ran hills with Adrian Peterson in 102 degree heat this offseason
Washington Redskins left tackle and former OU All-American Trent Williams said Adrian Peterson was a driving force in his offseason workouts.
Williams worked out with Peterson for the last month before training camp, "running hills in 102-degree weather with weight vests on," he said.
"I started doing it with Adrian [Peterson] four years ago, and I love the results," Williams told The Washington Post. "In college, with us coming from the same area (both Williams and Peterson are from Texas, about an hour and 35 minutes apart), he took me under his wing, always held me to a higher standard than everybody else."
Williams said working out with Peterson makes training camp feel easy.

"Gandhi" fame Oscar award winning British actor Ben Kingsley is likely to come to India in September to shoot a film.
A source said: "It is interesting Sir Ben Kingsley will be arriving in India in September to shoot for about 20 days in the capital of West Bengal. Though the project is under wraps, many are suggesting that it could be related to 'Avengers 2' that brings all the superheroes together in one film."
"This is surely Ben Kingsley's coming back to his roots, which is India. Apparently, he will also travel to Gujarat post the shoot," the source added.
Kingsley was born in Yorkshire in 1943 as Krishna Bhanji to an Indian origin father and an English mother. His father had his own family roots in Gujarat.
The teaser of "Avengers 2", second installment of "Avengers", is coming out with "Iron Man 3".

Another day Stoutdog couldn't come out to play. With my time in Ohio coming to an end, I wanted to revisit the Bike and Hike Trail. I'd ridden it the week before with Homeyba, gone into the redzone, and had dry heaves on someone's lawn. I don't like being pwnd, and I wanted to see the part of the trail I hadn't ridden. So off I went, over the bridge towards Peninsula.
After a roller-coaster descent I was on a mildly rolling trail. The most scenic portion of the entire ride was the railroad cut known as the Boston Ledges:
After some road crossings there's a mile long on road section that's a complete mess. I went through it and got back on the trail to face this for miles and miles:
Flat as a pancake, under the power towers. Finally the Bike and Hike Trail ended at the juncture with a park path called the All Purpose Trail, five rolling miles leading to the Tinker's Creek Gorge overlook and a waterfall. I rode partway, decided I didn't give a tinker's damn about Tinker's Creek, and went back.
I continued south past my starting point, down the section I'd had the problems the week before. After this set of rollers:
I stopped at a TGIFriday's for dinner. Fortunately it had an entrance on the trail. I propped my bike on the fence and downed three strawberry lemonade slushes while waiting for my order......
Fueled, I continued on. My destination was Munro Falls MetroPark, about a mile from the trailhead in that area for the Bike and Hike Trail. I arrived at 7, changed into my swimsuit at 7:05, and jumped in the lake. What a refreshing end for 38 miles of riding in 90 degree weather.

I know the silver full coverage SKS's are still being made but the gold ones seem to be out of production, or at least hard as hell to find. A local store had a stash of them but has since sold out. Does anyone know of a place, online or not, that a Vancouverite like me could find 'em?
If anyone has a set in their parts drawer that they'd be willing to let go for a nice price, please pm. I really just need a rear but I'll be happy to take your whole set off your hands.

Panaji, Nov 29 (IANS) Laxmikant Shetgaonkar, the director of Goan film 'Pultodcho Munis', Sunday refused to walk the red carpet at the 40th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFF) here, after being ignored for five days.
Shetgaonkar, whose film won the critics' award at the Toronto film festival this year, said that the organizers had invited him for the red carpet event only after the media reported the matter.
In a signed pressnote, the director of 'Pultodcho Munis', which was the opening film at the IFFI this year, said that he had taken the decision 'in interest of prestige and dignity of the IFFI'.
'For me and my crew members it was a privileged opportunity to walk the red carpet. However, I along with my crew decided not to attend the red carpet offered after five days of the opening of the film in interest of prestige and dignity of the IFFI,' he said.
The organizers had earlier brushed aside Shetgaonkar's absence from the red carpet event on the opening day of the festival (Nov 23), when 'Pultodcho Munis' was screened.
Rajendra Talak, a key member of the red carpet committee, had said: 'We tried to contact him on phone but he was not available. He was not picking up my phone.'
Shetgaonkar has in the past been vocal against the mismanagement of affairs vis-a-vis the IFFI, especially the entertainment society of Goa (ESG), the co-hosts for the festival.
Shetgaonkar, in presence of Chief Minister Digambar Kamat (also the chairman of ESG) and other dignitaries, had accused the government of appointing businessmen and people with vested interests in charge of film promotion in the state.

Brandon Jennings loves PB&J and so should you.
I once saw Sixers forward Lavoy Allen place an order with a visiting locker room attendant for three sandwiches from a sports bar and grille attached to the Verizon Center—two for before the game, one for after. NBA players have access to all sorts of food.
That's why I was so surprised to see Brandon Jennings with a single sandwich in a Ziploc at his locker after the Bucks 112-98 win vs. the Wizards on April 2. That's not Brandon Jennings dinner, that's the lunch my mom packed for me when I was in elementary school.
So what is an NBA player doing with a single sandwich? Serious eating, that's what.
"Peanut butter and jelly sandwich," Brandon Jennings said. "Can never go wrong with that."
Scout's honor, April 2 happened to be National Peanut Butter and Jelly day.
"Nah, I did not know that," he said, smiling. "But for me, a skinny guy, I like to eat two of them after the game just to keep my weight up."
Every day is National PB&J day to Brandon Jennings.
(Oh, and also: Those shoes!!!)
A Young Kyrylo Fesenko Meets His Idol, Shaq
I love this story. Kyrylo Fesenko was once a very tall boy playing basketball in Ukraine. During that time, always he said, his hero was always Shaquille O'Neal.
"I always wanted to play against him, or with him, or whatever or see him," Fesenko said.
When it Fesenko turned into an NBA prospect, he came to the U.S. to workout for the NBA Draft, and he happened to be auditioning for the Pistons when the Heat were in Detroit. Fesenko got tickets to the game, and made sure he was close enough to catch Shaq's attention.
"I was just, 'Can I have a picture with you?' He was very nice," Fesenko said. "He crossed the line like, I cannot cross one of the lines and he was like 'Yeah, yeah, yeah.' So he came to me, took a picture. It was awesome.
"I uploaded it to the Internet right away, like, let my friends see it," he said. "And well, it was pretty cool when somebody who knows me, like they knew how much I wanted to take a picture with Shaq. They're like, well Fez, you're example show me that if you work hard the dream comes true."
Shaq might have picked up that he was making a kid's day, but he had no idea that kid was a future NBA player.
"No," Fesenko said. "Just a gigantic fan."
It doesn't end there. In time, Fesenko found himself on the court against his hero.
"I played against him first time for, I spent 50 seconds on the court, actually 50 seconds against Shaq," he said. "So, at one point he was posting me up and I was thinking 'Oh, I got him. I got him.' And I pictured myself, you know, blocking him. You know, I pictured myself being on the front page of all newspapers and everything. I was already so hyped, like I was thinking how I'm going to tell it to my friends. And then he dunked on me."
Demoralizing, right? Not at all.
"When you first time meet your hero—if you ever meet your hero—you will definitely remember it," he said. "I was still thinking about like, 'Did somebody get a picture of that?'"
The time Jrue Holiday treated himself to an extra helping of popcorn
One thing I've noticed is that the guy with the box of popcorn is always very popular in the locker room, and several of Holiday's teammates came by with their hand out. A lot of NBA players snack on popcorn before games, including Sixers starting point guard Jrue Holiday, who sat at his locker in warmups and flip flops, munching on fistfuls from a movie theater-style box.
What makes popcorn such a hit in the locker room?
"Usually it's in the training room, so when I need something to snack on I usually go in there and get it. But I actually just took a box," Holiday said. "I usually don't ever take a box, but I took a box this time. … I was hungry, pretty much."
How can the best athletes on the planet run on the nutritional equivalent of packing peanuts.
"I try to eat healthy usually, but sometimes, times are hard. You gotta go with what you got."
Not like times are that tough.
"Oh, popcorn is awesome," he added.
PHOTO INTERMISSION: Mike Dunleavy, Jr. has some really nice sneakers
Dunleavy said he wears the camo on the road with the Bucks green jerseys, but not at home. For due diligence, SB Nation's Mike Prada performed a fact-check on this claim with Synergy Sports. Dunleavy is as truthful as he is freshy fresh.
The Pacers have the best conversation an NBA team ever had about pushups
When I walked into the Pacers locker room, almost the whole team was there, and more than a few players were getting on A.J. Price about his pushup form.
Price was doing his pushups with his feet up on a folding chair, and Danny Granger was killing him. David West was killing him. George Hill was killing him. After watching the whole bizarre scene unfold, I needed clarification. Hill had moved over to Price's locker room to continue the debate, so I asked if I could join the conversation. Here's the transcript:
A.J. Price: "You need your feet elevated ..."
George Hill: "He's got midget arms! ..."
AP: "You need your feet elevated."
George Hill: "... so his body don't go all the way down."
AP: "And your arms gotta lock."
George Hill: "What is a standard pushup? In a standard pushup, do they feet be elevated?"
Me: "I mean, I would think think standard is on the ground ..."
GH: "Thank you."
Me: "... But also …"
AP: "Go 'head! Finish!"
Me: "But there's a level of difficulty …
AP: "Thank you!"
Me: "... That comes with putting your feet up."
GH: "For shorter people!"
AP: "For anyone!"
GH: "No, I'm not rolling, juice!"
Price said he'd been doing pushups with his feet up since he was 15, when his father taught him. It's never been an issue, until now.
AP: "This is the first time that I'm hearing that. It's easier to do it regular. It's always harder to have your feet up. Everybody knows that."
GH: "Do a handstand!"
AP: "I've never lost a pushup battle."
GH: "Do a handstand and do a pushup then."
AP: "In the yard, jail yard, they get down in front of each other and they do 'em face to face. We can do that."
GH: "You ain't never been in a jail yard doing competitive pushups man. Get outta here. Do a handstand pushup right now."

AP: "I am. Until I get someone who steps up …"
LA: "There's not been a challenge though. … You gotta compete to be the champ. You can't just claim to be the champ."
AP: "This the champ right here."
LA: "We can do it sometime."
AP: "Some time. Oh, OK. Until then I'm the champ."
KF: "I can do three pull-ups. I'm the pull-up champ."
