UPDATE: Dallas police alert says Pleasant Grove robbers targeting students walking home from school
Dallas police now tell us a fifth robbery targeting a student walking home from school was reported yesterday afternoon.
In the latest case, the boy was robbed at gunpoint of a gold necklace with a crucifix, a police report said. The boy was walking in the 2800 block of Pleasant Drive near Scyene Road and South Buckner Boulevard when two men in a black pickup truck pulled up.
The boy said one of the men pulled a silver revolver pistol and demanded his chain, police said. It's the third time a gun was reported used in the string of robberies, police said.
Dallas police had first alerted the public yesterday via Twitter to the rash of robberies in the Pleasant Grove area targeting teens walking home from school. After repeated requests for more information on the crimes, Dallas police Lt. Scott Walton emailed a more detailed alert to the media shortly before 7 last night.
"On each occasion the victim was approached by one or two Latin males between the ages of 18 and 25," the statement said. "One of the suspects may have tattoos on his arm. The suspect vehicle was seen on three occasions and is described as a black pick-up truck with tinted windows."
The first attack was reported on April 26. Two teens were robbed together on May 1, another robbery was reported on May 10 and one more on May 14. The robbers reportedly made off with gold chains, necklaces and a cell phone.
"The Dallas Police Department along with DISD Police have heightened the police presence in the area where these offenses have occurred," today's statement said. "The Dallas Police Department is utilizing officers who are performing their two weeks in patrol assignment, non-patrol officers and has increased the number of regular patrol officers assigned to this area."
Anyone with information on the cases can call the Dallas Police Gang Unit at 214-671-GANG (4264) or 911.
Senior Cpl. Sherri Jeffrey is live Tweeting for Dallas police again today from the Southeast Patrol Division.
Amid the Tweets were these two that set off the old "news" alarm in my nerdy journalist brain.

After allegedly committing three armed robberies in the region during a six-day period last month, admitted heroin addict Jess David Keck slipped up during his fourth robbery by leaving his cellphone at the crime scene, state police said.
Jailed since Oct. 15 when he was charged with robbing the Uni-Mart at 1944 W. Fourth St. on Oct. 12, Keck, of 43 Scouten Hill Road, Wellsboro, was arraigned Tuesday at the Lycoming County Prison on charges of committing the other holdups.
Keck made no remarks as District Judge Gary A. Whiteman read the latest set of charges that state police filed against him.
In court documents, police said Keck committed his first holdup on Oct. 7 when he walked into the Nittany Minit Mart at 1450 E. Third St., demanded cash from the clerk and fled with $232.
Three days later, the 28-year-old man allegedly held up a clerk at the Cigarettes Outlet - Smokes to Go store at 1930 Lycoming Creek Road and fled with just over $1,000, according to an affidavit. Theholdup was investigated by Old Lycoming Township police, but they are consolidating their charges with the state police.
Investigators allege that on Oct. 12, two days after the robbery in Old Lycoming Township, Keck committed the holdup at the Uni-Mart in the city's Newberry neighborhood, fleeing with cash and lottery tickets.
On the afternoon of Oct. 14, a man, later identified as Keck, pulled a gun on a clerk at another Cigarettes Outlet - Smokes to Go store, this one at 1725 E. Third St. In addition to selling tobacco, the store also is a check-cashing business.
The bandit put a gun to the clerk's head and said, "Hand over the money. If you don't, I'm going to shoot you in the head," a trooper wrote in an affidavit.
The robber fled with just over $2,100, police said. However, one piece of evidence was left behind - a cellphone.
As police were questioning the clerk and gathering evidence at the store, a man pulled into the parking lot in a pickup truck, got out and tried to recover a cell phone at the store. The driver, identified as Keck, told police he had left it in the store when he purchased cigarettes hours earlier.
A cellphone was indeed on the counter, but the store clerk said it was not there before the robbery, police said.
Unable to get his cellphone, Keck started to leave. He got back in his truck, but before he could pull away, officers stopped him and placed him in "investigatory detention" by handcuffing him and putting him in the back seat of a police cruiser.
Employees at Pizza Hut, located just next door, also came forward and told officers that the same man had spent considerable time hours earlier sitting in his pickup truck in an adjoining parking lot. The employees said the man was seen earlier dumping items in a nearby Dumpster, police said.
Police recovered from the Dumpster lottery tickets that were stolen from the Uni-Mart. From Keck's truck, officers found a hat, a coat and a pair of gloves. Investigators said the clerk in the last holdup believed those articles were used in the store robbery.
Heck was arraigned on additional charges of robbery, terroristic threats, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, theft, receiving stolen property and carrying a firearm without a license. Already incarcerated in lieu of $500,000 bail, he was recommitted in lieu of an additional $250,000 bail.

CLEMSON — It's not chronologically correct to wake up early Saturday morning and say, "There is no tomorrow."
But there isn't a "Day After GameDay" show.
Football opportunities such as No. 5 Georgia vs. No. 8 Clemson on Saturday night don't roll into this postcard part of Pickens County very often. Yet Clemson coaches and players went out of their way Tuesday to make sure people realize the winner doesn't get a free pass to January.
"The opener is just the opener," head coach Dabo Swinney said. "You have to go play somebody."
Quarterback Tajh Boyd said that while it's "probably, supposedly the largest game in Clemson history," it's just one game.
Defensive coordinator Brent Venables pointed out that, sure, this is a "huge stage." And that Clemson also has a game next week, against S.C. State.
So there are two approaches to a "GameDay" showdown that might have 300,000 humans crashing Clemson: Pop some of the orange balloons, or appreciate the matchup as even bigger than advertised.
So big the winner becomes a prime candidate to play in the BCS National Championship Game in Pasadena.
Juicy sideshows
If Georgia wins, that defense suddenly isn't so suspect. The Bulldogs take major momentum into September home games against South Carolina and LSU. Then it's all downhill until the Alabama rematch in the SEC championship Game.
If Clemson wins, the ACC is for the taking. Fan zaniness will help carry the Tigers at least to Columbia and the regular season finale at South Carolina.
Georgia is a little better.
Clemson is the home team.
Mark Richt has never lost to Clemson (2-0).
Swinney has never coached against Georgia (but same time next year in Athens).
Boyd or Georgia star quarterback Aaron Murray likely will emerge among the Heisman Trophy frontrunners.
Juicy sideshows are everywhere.
Bulldogs running backs Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall — former Clemson recruits — are among the best in the SEC.
"Gurley reminds you a bit of Adrian Peterson in certain ways," said Venables, who was an assistant coach at Oklahoma when Peterson was the program's best player.
Clemson lacks proven NFL prospects on defense but might have some impact freshmen in defensive end Shaq Lawson, nickel back Korrin Wiggins and linebacker Ben Boulware.
'Bigger goals'
Swinney knows excitement has arrived early.
"There will be people rolling in here probably (Wednesday) night," he said, "just to smell the campus."
But he warned of the "clutter and noise" that comes with hype.
"It would be great to win the game. But we're really just going to check off the first goal over there," Swinney said, nodding at a goal list in the Clemson team room that reads 1. Win the opener, 2. Win the Atlantic Division, 3. Win the State, 4. Win the ACC, 5. Win the bowl game.
"We have much bigger goals than our opening game," he went on. "And this is for both teams. In a game like this, you have to be careful because it's not a win-all, end-all type of deal. It's a long season."
It's always a long, dramatic season around these parts.
But Georgia isn't Guam Tech.
Swinney was asked, in general terms, about scheduling in the future.
"If we're a 12-1, 13-0 type of team with winning a conference championship on top of that, there's no way that we're not going to be in the national scene," he said.
This year, it starts with an embraceable first step for the ages.
Swinney said he will encourage his players to sleep in Saturday at the team hotel. But with a rare episode of "GameDay" on at 9 a.m., don't expect Clemson fans to do the same.
They'll save that for Sunday.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — With the squiggle of a pen and a smile, Annie Reiswig and Aleigh Krug inked their college sports futures to paper Wednesday.
The Truckee seniors signed National Letters of Intent to play Division I volleyball and basketball, respectively, at Miami University (of Ohio) and Portland State during a mini press conference set up in front of the school's trophy case.
About 20 family members and friends gathered around the makeshift podium — a table with a red Truckee blanket draped over it — most of them armed with cameras as the seniors basked in the moment.
Fellow Truckee senior Jesse McGinley sat between Krug and Reiswig to celebrate her soccer scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
"I'm pretty excited. I'm proud of all of us for getting through and moving on," said McGinley, a goalie who gave up playing for the Wolverines before last season to devote her time to club soccer in Sacramento. "It was kind of awkward for me because I didn't have anything to sign yet, but it was all right."
McGinley said she'll sign her letter Feb. 1 to play at the Division I school on an athletic scholarship.
Reiswig, who was preparing to leave for Las Vegas with her Wolverines to defend their state volleyball championship this weekend, said she's thrilled about the opportunity to play at Miami University. The college is located in Oxford, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati.
"I'm very excited. I can't wait to get there," Reiswig said. "I've already visited the campus twice, and I love it. I was really nervous (to sign the letter), but I was also really excited to do it and get it over with."
A 6-foot outside hitter, Reiswig has proven herself a dominant force for both her Wolverines and her club team, Silver State 17-Black out of Carson City.
"I think she will do fantastically (in college)," said Justin Malley, who's coached Reiswig the past three years in club. "There's a whole nother level to her game that college will bring out in her."
Miami University issued a press release shortly after Reiswig signed her letter, which included a quote from her new coach, Carolyn Condit.
"Annie Reiswig is a fine athlete and strong jumper," Condit said in the release. "This combination makes her a very talented left side attacker and blocker. Her solid passing and defensive skills already has her tabbed to be a six rotation player for our team."
Reiswig earned first-team All-State recognition each of the past two years.
Krug, a 6-foot-3 post player with deft footwork, said she also was glad to put her signing behind her.
"I'm so excited it's finally here. I've been waiting for it for a long time," she said.
Krug had options, as both Saint Mary's College and Utah State offered her scholarships, she said. She originally was leaning toward Saint Mary's.
"I thought it was my school until I went to Portland State. On the first visit I fell in love. It was a hard decision, but I think I made the right choice," Krug said, explaining that she also liked the coaching staff and players at Portland State. "I just thought I'd fit in well in their program. And I like Oregon in general, too."
Aside from her family, Krug's longtime basketball coach, Geoff Stephens, was on hand for the occasion. Stephens coached Krug on her middle school and junior varsity teams, and he will again after recently taking over as head coach of the varsity girls' program.
"It's been just terribly exciting to watch her grow the last five or six years," Stephens said of Krug, who was voted to the 3A All-State first team her junior season. "She's been a great work in progress, and I look for her to do big things at the next level."

- Herbert Hoover was president when the Great Depression began. He declared in March 1930, that the U.S. had "passed the worst" and argued that the economy would sort itself out. The worst, however, had just begun and would last until the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
- The causes of the Great Depression are widely debated. There was no single cause, but several things when working together made it happen. A weak banking system, over-production of goods, over spending, and bursting credit bubble were just some of the reasons. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 was one of the main causes of the Great Depression. This stock market crash was the most devastating crash in the history of the United States. On "Black Tuesday," October 29, 1929, the stock market lost $14 billion, making the loss for that week an astounding $30 billion. It took 23 years for the stock market to hit the high it was at before the crash.
- As news of the stock market crash spread, customers rushed to their banks to withdraw their money, causing disastrous "bank runs." People who had been very wealthy lost everything they had and some committed suicide. Many companies went out of business and huge numbers of people lost their jobs. At the peak of the depression, 1 out of every 4 people were without a job. Between 1930 and 1935, nearly 750,000 farms were lost through bankruptcy or sheriff sales.
- People who lost their homes often lived in what were called "Hoovervilles," or shanty towns, that were named after President Herbert Hoover. There was also "Hoover Stew" which was the name for food handed out to the poor at soup kitchens. "Hoover Blankets" were newspapers that were being used to cover people like a blanket. "Hoover Hogs" were jack rabbits that were used for food, and "Hoover Wagons" were broken down cars that were pulled by mules.
- Some people who became homeless would ride on railroad cars, because they didn't have money to travel. Some believe that more than 50,000 people were injured or killed while jumping trains. Many of these people traveled together and were called hobos.
- Almost half of the children who were living in the United States at that time did not have enough food, shelter, or medical care. Many suffered diseases. By the 1930s, thousands of schools were operating on reduced hours or were closed down entirely. Some three million children had left school, and at least 200,000 took to riding the rails either with their parents or as orphans.
- African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans and women were bitterly discriminated and the hardest hit during the Great Depression. They were looked at as the groups that could take jobs away from white men. The Great Depression also changed the family in several ways. Many couples delayed getting married, and divorce rates and birth rates dropped. Some men also abandoned their families. A 1940 poll revealed that 1.5 million married women had been abandoned by their husbands.
- Severe drought and dust storms made the Great Depression even worse, because it dried out farmlands and forced families to leave their farms. On May 9, 1934, a dust storm carried about 350 million tons of dirt 2,000 miles eastward and dumped four million tons of prairie dirt in Chicago. The drought and dust killed tens of thousands of animals and some people.
- The board game Monopoly, which first became available in 1935, became popular because players could become rich during the playing of the game. The "Three Little Pigs"was seen as a symbol of the Great Depression, with the wolf representing the Depression and the three little pigs representing average citizens who eventually succeeded by working together.
- Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) became president in March 1933, and promised a "New Deal for the American people."
Great Depression Facts
The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations, but in most countries it started in 1930 and lasted until the late 1930s or middle 1940s. It was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. See the fact file below for more information and facts about the Great Depression.

After months of speculation, Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump have confirmed that their band, Fall Out Boy, is not together at this time.
"As far as I know," bassist Wentz wrote on his blog Tuesday, "Fall Out Boy is on break ... I can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again."
Meanwhile, frontman Stump issued a more definitive statement. "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now," he told Spin.com. Wentz added via Twitter that to continue in the band, "Something would have to change in my head or my heart – not my wallet. It'd have to be real."
And this is a real ending, at least according to Wentz, who Tweeted, "A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old, [and] I don't plan on either."
But the musicians aren't without fond memories of their time together. The guys say the breakup is amicable, and they don't completely rule out a reunion or even a new incarnation for the group.
"One way or another, the band will always be around," said Stump. Echoed Wentz on his blog, "There is the possibility that FOB will play again with or without me."
What's next for the former bandmates? Stump is already at work on a solo album, but Wentz – who has a 1-year-old son with wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz – is eager to move forward with new projects, and maybe a tour.
"Letting go of this giant part of my life has been hard," he blogged. "But I want to be back on tour having my son watch me from the side of the stage."

The Leopard Gecko is generally leucistic (no color) or pale yellow with dark brown spots. Young Leopard Geckos start out with alternating bands of color that develop into spots or splotches as they age. There are, however, many different Leopard Gecko color morphs. Some of the most common color variations include yellow, brown, white, and leucistic (with black eyes).
The terrarium should have a temperature gradient with a 10°F variance. The cool end of the gradient should fall into the 70's to low 80's and the warm end of the gradient should rise between 80° to 90°F. Leopard Geckos will use the temperature gradient to regulate their body temperature by moving from one side of the temperature gradient to the other.

How to Beat Chaos Daemons with Space Wolves
Labels: space wolves , tactics
So in this instance, discretion is the better part of valour...including as many bolter as you can muster. Then choose what you charge and when very carefully.
The Chaos Daemons army is full of models with AP3 shooting attacks, power weapons, rending claws and lots of wounds, making them a challenge for the Space Wolves -especially when they could Deep Strike virtually anywhere on the board.
Based on my gaming experience, I'm going to explain how to beat Chaos Daemons with Space Wolves, what to look out for and which of the common Space Wolves units are the best for taking down some of the most common Chaos Daemon units.
Close combat
This army is designed for one thing and that's ripping through your Space Marines in close combat. In order to win the Space Wolves will need to employ a defensive strategy and only charge into combat when the odds are massively in their favour or as a last resort.
Attack Waves
Because Daemons always arrive via Deep Strike, they can arrive absolutely anywhere. So your Space Wolves need to be deployed in order to receive the first wave and neutralise it with firepower (and charges). Because once you get bogged down in the first wave, there will be nothing to stop their reinforcements from overrunning your army.
Remember that the first wave of Daemons arrives on TURN 1! So you will not always have a turn to get everything into position.
A clever Daemon player will do their best to win the roll off and screw your deployment. If you can't deploy effectively and the Daemon player gets the first turn, your firepower won't be as effective and you'll have a tough time fighting off the first wave.
But, if you get the first turn of the game and set up accordingly, you should be able to gun down the major threats which will put you in good stead for the rest of the game.
Just remember that a game against Chaos Daemons with Space Wolves can be lost on TURN 1. If the Daemon player can turn the game into a huge punch-up then you've lost.
MSU - Many Small Units
Small units of Plague Bearers are common sights in Chaos Daemon armies and exist purely for objective grabbing. This is because they are incredibly tough to kill and with Feel No Pain it will take a lot of resources to get rid of them.
Expect to see lots of Tzeentch Heralds riding Chariots zipping about the board and providing supporting fire. These are equally troublesome due to having 3 wounds each.
As mentioned above, if you can deploy an effective 'firebase' at the start of the game, you can start gunning down the Daemons as they appear on Turn 1 with your missile launchers, lascannons and bolters. Not to forgetting Psychic Powers of course.
Even with all those Tzeentch Heralds riding Chariots and Soul Grinders, they will have a tough time trying to match you for firepower -especially if you've sensibly deployed in cover.
Daemons don't have frag grenades, which is great news for Space Wolves. Simply sit in cover, keep firing and when they charge you, not only can you Counter-Charge, but you get to strike first too! That upsets Daemon players when they often have the higher Initiative. Just watch out for Slaanesh Heralds pulling units out of cover to get charged.
Deep Striking
If you've created an effective 'firebase', Deep Striking becomes a weakness for the Chaos Daemons, because they will want to arrive as close as possible to your lines, but without scattering on to your units. But if the Daemon player plays it safe and arrives a reasonable scatter distance away, it will take too long to reach your lines.
Once again, it all depends on you creating an effective 'firebase' from the start of the game.
This is the typical kind of Daemons list you can expect to see. Although Khu'Gath The Plaguefather and Flamers of Tzeentch are also popular choices to break up any closely packed models in your 'firebase'. So watch out for those.
As you can see this list is really varied...not!

Chaos Daemons Strategy VS Space Wolves
Getting into close combat is the objective. Trying to win the roll off and screw the Space Wolf player's deployment is key. The next step is to get as many tough units into the first wave as possible and dump it as close to the Space Wolves as possible.
Tzeentch Heralds will zoom about at the back firing at any Long Fangs. Because taking out the Long Fangs will remove the Space Wolves advantage of massed long range firepower.
Soul Grinders will take the midfield. Blood Crushers will land straight in front of the Space Wolves to cause as much carnage as possible and hopefully hold them up with all those wounds and 3+ saves.
The Fiends of Slaanesh will follow the Blood Crushers and do their best to get into close combat without being shot at.
Meanwhile the Plaguebearers will aid in swamping the Space Wolves and grab any objectives.
Space Wolves Strategy VS Chaos Daemons
A good deployment is the key to defeating Daemons with Space Wolves. You will need to deploy your Long Fangs in cover with a good field of vision. Meanwhile the rest of the army needs to be flexibly positioned to move in any direction and intercept any Daemons with lots of Rapid Fire weapons.
Bear in mind Chaos Daemon 'landing zones' when you are deploying. You need to position your units around the terrain to dictate where the Chaos Daemons are likely to appear. For some reason no Daemon player is willing to take Danger Terrain tests for any Deepstriking units that scatter into terrain. I have no idea why this is the case when most units have lots of wounds! But anyway...
Fire all your smoke launchers on the first turn, otherwise a smart Daemons players will nail your transports to limit your movement so that they can trap you and eventually bog you down with their reinforcements.
Also, plan two routes that you can fall back to. So deploying from the centre towards one flank will allow you to fall back firing in either direction.
The Daemons will come at you from both flanks, but if you can move your whole force to wipe out any threats that block your way with focussed firepower, you have the freedom to keep moving about the board.
In an objective grabbing game, it's likely that you will have to advance. So make sure you put those objectives in cover. Because if the Daemons charge you in cover, you get to counter-charge and strike first thanks to your frag grenades.
Grey Hunters are brilliant in this role, but don't forget that massed bolter fire can work wonders too. After all, Daemons only have a 5+ invulnerable save.
But ultimately your Long Fangs and any other long ranged units are key to your success. Long fangs should nail one target at a time with their krak missiles. Preferably monstrous creatures or chariots.
Living Lightning is amazing for reaching those sneaky chariots and can fry one in a single turn if you're lucky. Lastly, don't forget that casting Jaws Of The World Wolf on a tightly packed group of Blood Crushers is a great way to get rid of them!
So be sure to use all the guns at your disposal to remove the most dangerous (or closest!) elements of the first wave of Daemons. The more damage you can inflict early on, the better you will do later in the game.
And don't forget to charge in as an effective way of 'mopping up' if you know that your Grey Hunters won't become bogged down in close combat in the following turn.
In order to beat Daemons with Space Wolves you need to set up your firebase, gun down as much as you can and hug cover wherever you can find it.
The Chaos Daemons army will tear you apart in close combat. I know we're Space Wolves and we're awesome in close combat, but when you have no armour save and the Daemons are attacking first, then have 2-3 wounds each when you strike back, you're going to be in trouble.
Unfortunately so much relies on TURN 1. But if you can lay down a good dose of firepower and cripple the first wave the rest of the game will be much easier.
If you screw up your deployment, can't get your Long Fangs set up properly and as a result, can't really kill anything on the first turn, then you're in serious trouble. Unfortunately, that's just how it goes when Space Wolves fight Chaos Daemons.
I know its not very heroic, but sometimes it's worth playing Space Wolves like a Tau army against Daemons. Just keep falling back and firing. Let them chase you round the board as you wittle them down with your guns and only close for the kill when the odds are in your favour.
Lastly, don't forget that casting Jaws Of The World Wolf on a tightly packed group of Blood Crushers is a great way to get rid of them!

Adam. Great article, I really enjoyed your analysis of the match-up. One quick thing though.
In the article article you emphasize how important getting the first turn against demons is. My experience playing against demons however has been that you're better off if you get the second turn.
Firstly, going second means that you will have the final player turn of the game, which can be critical for last minute contests and assaults.
Second, if you go first then you end up spotting the demon player an entire player turn to act in. Because demons are a null deployment army, they will go 'first' regardless of who has the first turn. A demon player who goes second will get both the 'first' player turn, and the last player turn of the game.
Regardless of whether you're going first or second, the demon player gets to see your setup before he starts deciding where to rip his way out of the warp.
It seems to me that the only benefits a SW player would get from going first are the ability to choose his deployment zone, do a bit of movement, and possibly pop some smoke launchers. The only disadvantage to going second is the demon player choosing your deployment zone, and the lack of smoke launchers.
All that being said its certainly possible I'm missing something, as I don't play demons very often. Do you have any deeper thoughts on this?
March 12, 2012 at 7:23 PM
You're spot on, you've just failed to realise the importance of choosing your deployment zone, doing a bit of movement, and possibly popping some smoke launchers.
If you can't set up your army to shoot Daemons and kill as many as possible on Turn 1 with your Long Fangs, then it's all over.

i play daemons and this is absloutely correct. look for a very strong first turn or it will be a hard fight. i use a big group of plaguebearers as a meat shield for my army. Bolters really struggle to take them down. focused fire en mass to cripple the first wave works well. Bolters are really dangerous against monstrous creatures. i have lost more daemon princes to bolters then long fangs. i also use hounds to tie up long fangs and bloodletters which will shred grey hunters without the edge of cover. the little shooting that a daemon has can ruin your day.
sound tactical principles are massed fire, a way out and smart use of cover/spacing will see you through.

I remember one battle where my wolf scouts decided after marching on the field and shooting at a massive squad of bloodletters, they charged.
Now, taking into account that bloodletters are bad ass and have power weapons, I thought "what am I doing?"
Well, Russ not only smiled on these seemingly hapless stealthy hunters, he gave them the close combat round of the battle by taking out not only the squad, but Skulltaker as well.
Haha, Khorne received no skulls that day, though Morkai took the offering of unworthy damned, leaving the meat for the feasting table in the Fang.

I am very surprised that the fact that rune priests have a 24" radius nullify to psychic on a 4+ wasn't mentioned. Seeing as most daemon lists i've gone up against included something like 3-5 psykers with total mastery lvl (all mastery lvls added) of about 12, being able to nulify half of those is huge to any army, especially if it means that their screamers dont get their broken 2++ re-rollable

I was going to call this Crock Pot Pot Roast. Then I realized that is one too many "Pots" in the title. I suppose I could have just gone with Crock Pot Roast. And then I realized I'll just save myself all the trouble and call it Slow Cooker Pot Roast because I was thinking far too hard about the name and my brain was starting to hurt. This is Pot Roast folks. And you make it in a slow cooker. And it's good! That is the beauty of a slow cooker. It can take a rather boring and tough cut of meat and make it come out so tender and tasty. And, in my case, I save on electricity because this roast isn't cooking in my oven for hours on end. So that's just a bonus right there. Now, I don't like to cook a bunch of veggies with my pot roast. Mainly because slow cookers can cook the you-know-what out of veggies and often turn them into mush if they are in there too long. So if I make them, I add them in during the last couple of hours of cooking time.
3-4 pound beef chuck roast
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 packet brown gravy mix
1 packet Italian dressing mix
1 tbsp. dried chopped onions
2 cups water
Give it all a good stir.
Around the last 2-3 hours of baking, you can add in your diced potatoes, carrots and celery if you prefer. This next step is also optional but if you would like your gravy to be a bit thicker, here's how you do it. Once roast is finished cooking, pour all the gravy from your slow cooker into a medium pot.
Cook's Notes: Sensitive to sodium? Just choose the low sodium brown gravy packet.
In the above picture, I served this pot roast with my Maple Glazed Carrots.

Celebrity politicians
The idea of a celebrity is fairly loosely defined in the modern context.
I opened the pages of the Evening Herald yesterday to see a photograph of a wedding of a TV3 'personality' of whom I had never heard. It promised a full follow-up splash feature in the next edition of VIP magazine. I for one will be rushing out to my newsagent the moment the magazine lands. (more…)

For Eye Care Professionals
We'll help you with the basics of contact lens wear and care to help keep your eyes safe and comfortable. Inserting and removing contact lenses, caring for lenses, and the importance of following a replacement schedule are discussed below.
How to put them in:
How to take them out:
Daily disposable contact lenses are designed to be worn once and then thrown away, you don't have to worry about the hassle of cleaning or storing the lenses. It is also easy to care for lenses that you use for more than a day. Just be sure to follow the routine your eye care professional recommends. Biotrue solution conditions, cleans, removes protein, disinfects, rinses and stores soft contact lenses including silicone hydrogel contact lenses.
This daily regimen is recommended by Bausch + Lomb for a healthy and comfortable contact lens wearing experience:
Your contact lenses are now ready to wear. If any debris remains on contact lenses, rinse with Biotrue multi-purpose solution prior to insertion.
Store: If not wearing contact lenses immediately, store them in a closed lens case. Do not store your lenses in simple saline in place of Biotrue multi-purpose solution. Saline solution will not disinfect. Lenses may be stored in the unopened case until ready to wear, up to a maximum of 30 days. If you store your lenses for longer periods of time, they must be cleaned and disinfected with fresh Biotrue multi-purpose solution prior to lens insertion.
Lenses are designed for specific wearing times. Depending on what's best for your eyes, your eye care professional may recommend a lens designed for daily replacement, a lens designed for two weeks of daily wear, or a lens designed for one month of daily wear.
Regardless, it's really important to follow the replacement schedule your eye doctor gave you – it tells you when you need new lenses. Following it will keep your eyes safe and comfortable – so make sure you stick to it.

I would appreciate it if you could explain in more detail, as I am sure I am not the only one who doesn't have a clue what this is all about.
A: E-coupons are simply electronic coupons. With regard to grocery e-coupons (which are the type we will discuss in this column), e-coupons are very similar to paper coupons. You can use e-coupons on the items you're buying, just as you would use paper coupons. And in some cases, you can use both an e-coupon and a paper coupon on the same item. Just as you can stack a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon together, you also can stack a paper coupon and e-coupon together, as long as one is a store coupon and one is a manufacturer coupon.
Many major supermarkets and drugstores offer e-coupons. In most cases, you will load these e-coupons to your store's loyalty card via the store's website or a smartphone app. Enter your loyalty card number into the website or the app, then click on the coupons you wish to add to your account. Then, when you go shopping, the e-coupons will be activated and the discounts applied when your loyalty card is scanned at checkout.
So where does one find e-coupons? A great place to start is your favorite store's website. If your supermarket or pharmacy offers e-coupons, you may find information on how to load them to your phone via the store's website. Smartphone users also will find countless e-coupon apps in the Apple App Store or via Google Play.
Some national e-coupon websites work with retailers around the country. Here's a list:
Cellfire.com: Works with more than 25 chains around the country.
ShortCuts.com: Works with 25 chains nationally and provides both electronic and printable coupons.
PGeSaver.com: Offers a new set of e-coupons each month for 29 chains.
SavingStar.com: Offers e-coupons for more than 100 chains nationally. SavingStar e-coupons work a bit differently from the aforementioned websites. With SavingStar, your e-coupon discounts are not applied immediately at the register. Instead, the money saved is deposited into your online SavingStar account, and you can deposit the money to your personal bank account.
If you use e-coupons, remember that it will be your responsibility to keep track of their expiration dates. If you've loaded e-coupons that you haven't redeemed, the coupons will disappear from your card.

On Tuesday, Universal Orlando announced details of the new attraction, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, which will anchor a newly expanded Diagon Alley area of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
While no opening date for the public has been announced – though VIP invitations have gone out for June 17-20 – it is expected to be sometime this summer.
Devotees of J.K. Rowling's wildly popular books – and the eight films based on them – know that the sequence from 2007's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in which heroes Harry, Ron and Hermione break into heavily guarded Gringotts, is one of the series' most action-packed.
The new attraction will feature a 60-ft. fire-breathing Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon, the banks' wary goblin tellers and the two most frightening villains in the Potterverse: Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange.
Universal Orlando Resort
In other Potter news, Warner Bros. announced the release date for Rowling's first installment in the planned spinoff trilogy Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
The project was first announced in September, with Rowling, 48, slated to write the films based on her 2001 companion book of the same name, which features the adventures of magical zoologist Newt Scamander (but not Harry and friends).
Clearly, her beloved wizarding world is still very much on Rowling's prolific mind: The British author and reluctant Twitter user – she has only tweeted 57 times since 2009 – recently took to the site to mark a significant date in her series' history.
"It's the 16th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts," she Tweeted on May 2. "I'm having a moment's silence over my keyboard. I hated killing some of those people."

A 15-year-old boy from Weare was charged with second-degree assault Saturday after allegedly stabbing his older brother, police said.
Police were called to a home on Woodfern Road at about 3 p.m. Saturday for a report of a fight in progress with one person stabbed. When officers arrived, they learned that two brothers had been in a fight. Family members said the two were fighting about a pile of tires on the front yard when the 15-year-old pulled out a pocket knife.
The victim, who is 20 years old, was taken to Concord Hospital where he was treated for a cut to his back. He was listed in good condition Saturday night.
The 15-year-old was taken into custody and placed outside the home per a judge's order.

TB's Global Resurgence Amplifies U.S. Risk
NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Natalie Skipper started feeling under the weather a few weeks after returning home from volunteering at a South Africa hospital. "The worst flu I had ever had in my life," she said.
Her temperature hit 105 degrees. She had trouble walking.
She didn't have the flu.
Ms. Skipper, a 34-year-old physical therapist with a love of travel, was infected with tuberculosis. And not just any tuberculosis. She brought to Tennessee a strain that can't be cured with the most potent and common drugs used against the deadly disease. Multidrug-resistant TB is at epidemic proportions in some parts of the world—a growing problem the U.S. is surprisingly unprepared for.
The U.S. beat back multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the 1990s. Today, however, a new threat is emerging as drug resistance worsens abroad and far more dangerous strains develop and spread, including some that are all but untreatable with standard drugs.
In the U.S., rates of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis remain low, but are starting to inch back up, as hundreds of millions of American citizens and foreigners alike travel to the U.S. from abroad every year. At the same time, funding and expertise are in decline.
"What's worrying me personally is that I'm seeing a resurgence of complacency," in the U.S. health-care community says Kenneth Castro, director of the division of tuberculosis elimination at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Ms. Skipper's infection took doctors more than a year to properly diagnose. First, they thought she had an nasty intestinal bug from Africa. Then they suspected pneumonia—a common misdiagnosis.
Finally, the doctors discovered she carried drug-resistant TB. That set off a scramble to trace and test everyone around her hometown of Paris, Tenn., and elsewhere with whom she might have had close contact with while contagious. Ms. Skipper had, in fact, infected someone else.
In-Depth: A Killer Quietly Gains Strength
The Wall Street Journal is chronicling the world's imperfect response to the rise of drug-resistant tuberculosis, an ancient disease that modern medicine, until recently, could defeat.
A selection of reports:
- Deadly unintended consequences: The global TB-fighting strategy helped allow the spread of new, all-but-untreatable strains. (11/23/2012)
- Exclusive numbers suggest more than 25% of patients at one Indian TB clinic don't respond to the primary treatment. (11/23/2012)
- One woman's case of nearly incurable tuberculosis echoes around the world. (9/8/12)
- India's slow reaction appears to be nurturing an all-but-untreatable strain of TB, raising the prospect of a global health hazard. (6/20/12)
- A top doctor in Mumbai reports finding 12 cases of tuberculosis that are all but untreatable by current methods. (1/19/12)
"We cannot be safe in the U.S." while drug-resistant TB is an "epidemic in the rest of the world," said Barbara Seaworth, medical director of the Heartland National TB Center in San Antonio. Outbreaks are "absolutely" possible in the U.S., said Dr. Seaworth, who has treated hundreds of patients with drug-resistant strains.
Tuberculosis, an airborne disease characterized by the coughing of blood, is one of the world's great killers. In some developing countries, drug-resistant strains are rampant. A doctor in India this year startled the global health community by finding patients carrying a particularly dangerous strain—one all but incurable. The Wall Street Journal in November detailed how long-standing global strategies for fighting TB have unintentionally helped make the disease harder to cure.
Most drug-resistant cases are imported into the U.S. by foreigners arriving from places where the disease rages. Of 124 multidrug-resistant cases in 2011, 106 were in foreign-born individuals, the CDC says. Most cases are in California and Texas, many along the border with Mexico. Cases come from Mexico, Vietnam, and India, among others. The U.S. doesn't vaccinate against TB because there is no vaccine considered widely effective for adults.
In parts of Mexico, drug-resistant TB flourishes. Treatment of regular TB isn't always vigilant, and medicines that can tackle drug-resistant TB became available there only recently.
Complicating matters is Mexico's gang violence, which prevents U.S. public-health experts from visiting many nearby areas to train medical teams. "We have not crossed the border in three years," said Brian Smith, regional director for the Texas Department of State Health Services in Harlingen, Texas. His people get around that by talking on the phone with Mexican counterparts, and meeting in the U.S.
Shortages of TB drugs in the U.S. have become acute enough that the government is in talks with the World Health Organization to tap a service that more commonly helps poorer countries obtain drugs. The goal would be to arrange for the importation of drugs produced in other countries, he said. He called the move "unusual." "But the public-health nature of this problem merits a renewed look," Dr. Castro said.
Some 64% of state and local officials in charge of TB control reported difficulties obtaining drugs for multidrug-resistant TB, according to a 2010 survey by the National TB Controllers Association.
Over the past 15 years, the purchasing power of the U.S.'s TB-control budget has dropped about 45%, according to the CDC. Further cuts could be coming: President Barack Obama's next proposed budget included a $4.6 million cut for TB control, from $140.3 million previously.
The U.S. boasts some of the most rigorous methods for diagnosing and treating tuberculosis. Nevertheless, it faces a fundamental problem that affects all nations, rich or poor: Everyone must use the same decades-old drugs and diagnostic techniques. The Food and Drug Administration is reviewing one new medication, bedaquiline, to treat drug-resistant TB. Developed by a Johnson & Johnson JNJ -0.65 % unit, it would be the first significantly new TB drug to be approved in more than 40 years.
Meanwhile, the U.S. lags on other technologies. A new machine, GeneXpert, that can diagnose a common form of drug resistance in just hours—rather than days or weeks required by traditional tests—is rolling out in countries including India and South Africa. It hasn't received FDA approval here for tuberculosis.
GeneXpert's maker, Cepheid, CPHD -0.02 % expects to have the TB test available in the U.S. in mid-2013, a spokesman said. The FDA declined to comment.
TB drugs' toxicity can be a big obstacle to treatment. Maria Jimenez of San Antonio was infected with regular tuberculosis in 2011 by an ex-boyfriend. Once she was infected, though, the disease became drug-resistant inside her body.
One reason: The drugs she was taking made her so sick—she would vomit them back up—that basically she was being undermedicated, according to Dr. Seaworth, who treated her. Undermedication is dangerous because this is how the TB bacteria develop resistance to drugs.
Ms. Jimenez, 37 years old, began coughing up blood. "I had no energy," she said. She gave up her housecleaning work and eventually became bedridden.
Further complicating her treatment was the fact that Ms. Jimenez is diabetic, making it harder for her to absorb one medicine. Rising diabetes rates amplify the TB risk. Diabetics who are infected with TB become ill with the disease at three times the ratio of the general population because their immune systems are compromised, said Dr. Seaworth, who is also a professor of medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center-Tyler. "Diabetes may be a more important driver of the TB epidemic globally than HIV," she said.
At the urging of her doctors, Ms. Jimenez agreed in May to be hospitalized at the Texas Center for Infectious Disease, a specialized facility in San Antonio. The hospital treats especially difficult TB cases like hers.
There, she gradually improved. Her doses were split up over the course of the day so she didn't get as nauseated. A nutritionist designed a diet for her diabetes.
Today, Ms. Jimenez says she feels better and can stick to her treatment, though she is still "grossed out" by the pills. She left the hospital in October in part, she said, because she was worried about her 15 year-old daughter, who was skipping school.
During a recent interview in San Antonio, as Ms. Jimenez received a TB-drug infusion at the TB hospital, she described how all five of her children living with her became infected as well, stirring up resentments. "My 13-year-old said, 'You have to take your drugs,'" Ms. Jimenez said, because "we also had to fight this."
The next day, at a different clinic, she showed up for a checkup to take 12 different pills. Washing them down with water and grimacing at the taste, she said to a nurse, "At the hospital, they give me juice."
Ms. Jimenez is lucky in an important respect. The kind of specialized TB clinic that treated her is becoming increasingly rare. They are an echo of the early 20th century, when TB was widespread and sanitariums dotted the nation. Today, only a few remain. In Florida this year a similar facility closed.
For doctors who don't specialize in TB, treatment of resistant strains gets tricky. Not even cancer patients require "as much work in terms of coordinating experts and resources," said Jonathan Fine, a pulmonologist in Norwalk, Conn., with one multidrug-resistant patient. To devise a regimen, Dr. Fine said he consulted experts at several institutions and ultimately needed special approval to prescribe a drug normally used for leprosy, which is caused by similar bacteria.
TB-control officials are often stretched for resources. "I've transported people many times in my own car," said Jon Warkentin, Tennessee's statewide tuberculosis-control officer. He puts the patient in the back seat of his Honda Civic wearing a surgical mask, rolls down the windows—"even during the winter," he says—and wears a respirator of his own while he drives.
The U.S. has strengthened TB screening of immigrant applicants in recent years and tightened travel restrictions for people with infectious TB. But visitors to the U.S. aren't checked by the government. The case of Ms. Skipper, the Tennessean who contracted TB while volunteering in a small hospital in South Africa, shows how difficult it is to keep the disease outside U.S. borders.
Ms. Skipper volunteered for five months of 2007 in a shantytown about 40 minutes outside Capetown. She originally connected with the hospital through her Presbyterian church in Nashville.
A physical therapist, she worked with HIV and TB patients both in the hospital and in their tiny homes. She helped people do bed exercises. She taught a man without a leg how to use a walker.
Before returning to her hometown hospital in Paris, Tenn., Ms. Skipper had to take a TB test. It came back negative, which can happen with people infected only recently.
Her early symptoms—upset stomach and a bloody stool—didn't cause doctors to suspect TB. Knowing she had been to Africa, they thought it was "a bad parasite she had caught," said her primary-care doctor, Walter "Bo" Griffey III. In fact, those symptoms might have been unrelated to TB; it's still not clear.
In early 2009, after Ms. Skipper had been sick for a year, she developed tightness in her chest. Dr. Griffey first diagnosed pneumonia, but his thoughts turned to TB when a follow-up X-ray showed a dense spot on her lung.
"Being a small-town doctor in Tennessee, TB is not really on your radar screen," Dr. Griffey said. But with so many people traveling the world, "you just have to always be aware of it."
It took three more tests, including a lung-tissue biopsy, to nail it down as TB. It was the first case Dr. Griffey had seen since his residency in Alabama in the '90s.
Still, it wasn't clear yet that Ms. Skipper carried the drug-resistant strain. She began taking a standard regimen of four drugs for regular TB.
When word of her case reached the state department of health, "I immediately saw red flags," said Dr. Warkentin, the state official. "She had been working where MDR is common," he said, using shorthand for multidrug-resistant TB. New tests showed she was resistant to seven drugs, including the four she was taking. Hers was an unusual strain not previously seen in the U.S., Dr. Warkentin said.
The diagnosis triggered a sort of "Typhoid Mary" scramble to find and test everyone who might have been in close contact with Ms. Skipper. They identified 110 people, including family and patients in the U.S. hospital where she worked.
Fortunately, she hadn't been coughing much, so the disease hadn't spread widely. She did infect one person who was treated for latent tuberculosis. Out of caution, Ms. Skipper's two toddler nieces were also briefly treated, until tests showed they hadn't been infected.
Ms. Skipper's new regimen came with painful, toxic side effects. Unable to work, she left her job and grew depressed. "Here I was, 30-something. All my friends were working, and my job became taking drugs every day," she said.
She spent 90 days in isolation at home, until she was no longer infectious. When she went to see the doctor, she had to wear a mask. People would give her strange looks. "I'm a people person," she said. "I wanted to see my friends so much, but it was against the law to see them."
She worried that she would die. One of her drugs, cycloserine, is dubbed "psychoserine" by some doctors and patients. She started forgetting to pay her bills, and would get lost while driving to familiar places. "I became socially awkward," she said. "I was constantly dropping things."
Her insurance ran out about a year and a half into treatment. The state picked up the tab, which it does in TB cases to make sure a patient completes treatment and to protect the public, Dr. Warkentin said.
Ms. Skipper said she believes her treatment cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but neither she nor Dr. Warkentin has a total cost. A recent study led by a CDC researcher found that the average total direct cost to treat a patient in the U.S. with multidrug-resistant TB is $131,000.
Today, Ms. Skipper is considered cured. Still, recovery continues. She suffers kidney stones from one drug, and is susceptible to illnesses. "I catch everything that goes around," she said.
Despite everything, she is eager to get healthy enough to go back to South Africa, where she has many friends from her first trip. And because of her own experience, she shares a new empathy. "I can't wait to return," she said.
She and her new husband, whom she met in the later months of her cure, have talked about heading back once her strength rebuilds. "I was able to have the best health care, the best doctors, and the best treatment," Ms. Skipper said. "It upsets me they're not able to have the same kind of treatment."

Founded in 1643 by Claude Trudon, Paris-based Maison de Cire Trudon was the official supplier to the royal court of Louis XIV at Versailles and is notable as the oldest wax-producing factory in the world.
