A Woodland man accused in the 2012 drive-by shooting near Don's Diner has pleaded no contest and will face 30 years in state prison.
According to the Yolo County District Attorney's Office, 25-year-old Francisco Andres Aldana Nava pleaded no contest Tuesday to attempted murder with an enhancement for personal use of a firearm causing great bodily injury. As part of the plea, Nava agreed to 30 years-to-life in state prison.
On Aug. 8, 2012 Nava, a validated Sureno gang member, gunned down a rival Norteno gang member in Woodland near Don's Diner as retaliation because some Nortenos had thrown a rock through his window earlier in the evening, reported the DA's Office.
When officers arrived they found the victim, an 18-year-old validated Norteno gang member, severely injured and lying in the street. Don's Diner was closed at the time of the shooting, but some employees were still inside when a shot gun blast took out some of the front windows. No one inside was injured.
Witnesses described seeing a mid-90s white Ford Mustang drive up to the victim in the middle of the street. The passenger, later identified as Nava, stuck a shot gun out the window and shot the rival gang member at close range. The Mustang then sped away. The victim was transported to UC Davis Medical Center.
A few weeks later police located Nava at Beamer Park with other Surenos. Nava had a loaded shot gun and his cellphone. Police reviewed messages on Nava's phone after obtaining a search warrant. The phone had messages from Nava bragging about shooting the rival gang member in the "Four Corners" a nickname for the area of West Cross and Cottonwood. Police later connected Nava to the white Ford Mustang used in the shooting.
The Yolo Count Gang Task Force and the Woodland Police Department investigated the case.
Judge David Reed is scheduled to sentence Nava on June 9.

"Anvil: The Story of Anvil" is a 2008 documentary film by Sacha Gervasi. It tells the story of – you guessed it – Anvil.
Anvil is a Canadian heavy metal band formed in 1973 by then high school friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner. Together they took the band to a certain level of success in the early to mid 1980s, tantalizingly close to the top of the Heavy Metal music scene. Their major breakthrough and the accompanying fame and fortune eluded them however.
They never really "Made it Big".

Reviews of this property
We have just returned from our week long stay at Irina's apartment in Playa de las Americas. She met us at the apartment and showed us around with her husband, both very friendly but with limited English (which I guess when you are abroad is not expected!). It's a lovely apartment, well furnished and very comfortable. It could do with a toaster and some decent non-stick pans, but otherwise efficient. It benefits from a good AC system and valuable parking space but the pool onsite is empty, although I don't believe a pool is advertised with the accommodation. It seems to be quite a residential block. The only main issue with the apartment is the location, whilst it is very central it is opposite two restaurants that have music every night until midnight and then the night club next door boots up until the very early hours c.5am, so if you like your sleep and a quiet night this isn't the place for you. Otherwise if you are a party animal or night owl we would highly recommend it.
I've lived in this apartment very close to the ocean for my holiday in Playa de las Americas from the 22th to the 29th of september. The house represents the top for structure, cleaning and location. The photos on the site reflect exactly the reality and maybe you will be also more happy when enter inside the house.
In my opinion the position is very good but I know that not for all is the best choice because the sound is listenable during the night.
A special mention deserves Irina, the owner of the house, for the kindness and availability with which she welcomed us.
I hope to come back soon.
Thank you so much, Irina! We really loved the apartment, it is so well equipped, modern and super clean. I miss my breakfast on the terrace! It worked out so well for out stay in Tenerife. Hope to see you soon!
Beautiful modern apartment in a very old building ,
Air con great ,
No water in pool and noise at night from night club up the road brutal,
Only for ear plugs would have no sleep up to 5 am,
Will not stay here again unfort ,
Very friendly couple, apartment was very clean and modern with everything you would need. 5 stars!!
ristruttorato very cozy apartment, complete with all necessary accessories, posiziione central excellent.
however it is not recommended to people who love peace as from 22 to 06 hours of music venues in the area at high volume is extremely annoying.
appartamento ristruttorato molto accogliente,completo di tutti gli accessori necessari, posiziione centrale ottima.
tuttavia non è consigliabile a persone che amano la tranquillità in quanto dalle ore 22 alle 06 la musica dei locali vicini ad alto volume è estremamente fastidiosa.
Everything perfect (except noise at night)
Attention Ms. Irina and her very kind husband
Todo perfecto ( excepto ruido por la noche)
Atencion Sra. Irina y su marido muy amable
We stayed in Irina's apartment for a week and it truly is beautiful and extremely modern. Everything is brand new. All you could ever want for and more including air conditioning which is quite rare to find and was an added bonus. The view from the balcony is really wonderful looking out to the sea.
Everything you could possibly need is within a stones throw from the apartment with shops,bars,restaurants and supermarkets The beach is literally only a couple of minutes stroll away.
Irina is a lovely lady and a great host.
Kind regards and many thanks for a lovely relaxing holiday.
Nick and Shan Hogan.
Amazing stay.. the apartment is very clean there is everything you need.. we loved have a breakfast on the terrace.. amazing view.. very helpful the private parking included. Thank you Irina.. See you soon
Das Apartment ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sauber. Die Schlüsselübergabe war schwierig, da sich die Gastgeber nicht an den vereinbarten Zeitpunkt hielten und ich mehrere Stunden im Apartment warten mußte.
Die Lage ist trotz Ohrstöpel und geschlossener Fenster extrem laut, so dass ich erst gegen 3.00 Uhr morgens einschlafen konnte.

Balance of Power: A Throne for an African Prince
Tuesday, November 19, 2013 – Sunday, March 16, 2014
According to Yoruba oral history, artist Olówè of Ise (about 1870–1938) could sculpt a person's likeness on the spot—without looking at the wood he was carving. In his day, Olówè was the most sought-after artist for Yoruba royalty. Kings from far and wide called on him to sculpt the decorations that filled their palaces. Today, Western museums consider his works priceless.
This special exhibition spotlights a single extraordinary work by Olówè: a throne he made for Prince Ilori, heir apparent of the town of Isè in southwestern Nigeria. This exhibition is organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts. Support has been provided by the Walter Gibbs Endowment Fund.

text: I have an 87 Suburban and I just picked up the complete rearend from an 84 Chevy Truck that was at a junkyard. I also got the leaf springs bcuz they had 7 leafs and mines has only 5. (It's a half ton) And when we were taking off the parts, we noticed that the donor truck had a dual driveshaft setup and my Burbie is a straight through axle. I didn't pick up the dual setup bcuz I plan on trying 2 either use mine, or go to another yard and find drive shaft from another Burbie that has the 8 lug rearend on it already. Any suggestions?


text: I have a question for anyone. My bees swarmed on Sunday morning and left what looks like several thousand smaller bees.I looked in the hive today and most of the honey they worked on all summer is gone. I guess the bees that swarmed took most of the honey with them.i really did not know they did that.My question is do the bees that are left have enough time to store honey to make thru the winter?

|Offensive Line
Isaiah Wynn
|Wynn was our choice as top performer on the O-Line at the event. He is very athletic, has great feet, and won all of his one on one reps that we saw. He's about 6'3, which puts him in guard territory, but does have length and feet like a tackle. He will need to add weight, but he's a kid who appears poised to add to his offer list.
D.J. Foster
|Foster is very powerful and knocked over a few guys in one on ones with very little effort. When he got his hands on guys, it was over. He appears to be an ideal interior guy for a power run system because of his size and natural strength.
J.C. Hassenauer
In a group full of guys 6'4-6'7, Hassenauer, at 6'1-6'2, did not stand out physically, but once the one on ones started, he scarcely lost a rep, showing good feet, technique, and a ton of fight and effort. He will likely be a center, possibly a guard, but he definitely came to play, got the job done, and if he continues to do that, he'll earn some camp offers this summer.
Michael Grimm
Grimm is massive at 6'6, 320-lbs, and he had a good run in one on ones. He won his share of reps, and proved that he wasn't just size. He has a good, powerful punch, solid feet for a big guy, and struck us as a Division-1 right tackle prospect. He has a lot of schools looking, but no offers yet. We would expect that to change.
Michael Grimm
Grimm is massive at 6'6, 320-lbs, and he had a good run in one on ones. He won his share of reps, and proved that he wasn't just size. He has a good, powerful punch, solid feet for a big guy, and struck us as a Division-1 right tackle prospect. He has a lot of schools looking, but no offers yet. We would expect that to change.
Connor Mayes
"Big Red" as he is dubbed is another very large junior at 6'5, 320-lbs. He's a powerful guy who might be a guard in college, but could potentially be a right tackle as well. There wasn't a lot of finnese to what he did, he just got the job done.
Troy Bacon
Bacon won several early reps in 1-1s. When he finally lost one, he came back and beat the kid on the next rep. He could go inside or outside. He's built a little more like a guard, but played tackle and showed he could move his feet and block edge rushers.
Tommy Hatton
Younger guy who did well in 1-1s. He had a good base, solid footwork and was a battler. He needs a little bit of technical work, but he produced good results. At 6'3, he's looking like a center or a guard, but with two years left, he's certainly a prospect who will get a lot of attention.
Tristen Hoge
Hoge is a youngster with a good frame at 6'5, 260-lbs. He lined up at center during 1-1s, his high school position, but looks like he may grow into a tackle. Solid technician who was able to lock a couple guys out and win reps. He still needs to get stronger, but has two years to do it. He is the nephew of Merrill Hoge and already holds two offers (BYU and Boise State).
Nicholas Linder
Chase Gianacakos
|Defensive Line
Daniel Cage
|Explosive, agile and good with his hands, Cage only lost one rep in 1-1s and that was when he lost his balance. Other than that, he was rarely even challenged as he easily made his way past everyone they put in front of him. Currently standing at four offers, he appears to be a guy who will get a few more of those before it's all said and done.
Solomon Thomas
|Thomas lived up to his press clippings and offer list coming into the event. He's a great athlete who got off the ball quickly and easily got the edge in several of his reps. In addition to his speed, he's also a pretty compact, strong kid, who was able to use his hands well when offensive linemen were able to get their hands on him.
Kentavius Street
|Street did well in 1-1s. He's violent with his hands, plays with a lot of effort and motor. He has a great combination of size and speed, and we were not surprised to find out afterwards that he's a guy with multiple high-BCS offers.
Kenny Finley
|Finley is a good sized kid with quick, agile fit and did a great job with his hands. The question right now for him is if he'll be an inside guy or an end. Based on the way he plays, and growth potential, I think he'll be more of an interior guy. Either way, he deserves the D1 attention he's getting.
Gelen Robinson
|Robinson looks good on the hoof as far as muscle and build. He did well in 1-1s, winning several reps and showing good athleticism. He's not a tall or long guy, so the question on him is position. Can he grow into a defensive tackle or will he stay on the edge and be a rush guy ala Jason Hatcher? Regardless, he's a D1 guy.
Darius Fulwood
|Fullwood is a long, athletic young prospect with all the tools to be a top flight prospect. We'll see how he develops over the next two years, but he has the talent and is already receiving early BCS interest.
Rahshaun Smith
|Smith already has several BCS offers coming out of his freshman year and showed the athleticism and speed that got him those at the combine. Being as young as he is, he obviously has weight and strength to add, but he has the other tools and maybe most impressive for a young guy like him was the competitiveness he showed. He didn't back down from any of the older O-linemen.

Xilinx Rising: FYQ1 Rev, EPS Beat; Q2 Rev View Beats
Shares of chip maker Xilinx (XLNX) are up $1.97, or 4.5%, at $45.50, in late trading after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue and earnings that topped analysts' estimates and offered a Q2 view that was higher as well.
Revenue in the three months ended in June slipped 0.7% to $579 million, yielding EPS of 56 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $549 million and 47 cents.
Gross margin rose to 69% from 66% in the prior quarter, which the company said was a new record for its gross margin. Operating margin rose to 33% from 28%.
CEO Moshe Gavrielov remarked that the quarter was "exceptional" in many respects, including the record margins, but also sales of 28-nanometer product that exceeded $50 million.
For the current quarter, Xilinx sees revenue in a range of flat to up 3% from last quarter, or roughly $579 million to $596 million. That is higher than the consensus for $563 million.
Xilinx management will host a conference call at 5 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.


text: I am so sorry you had that problem with the machine! And I know just how painful that can be....it was just a couple months ago that I got my finger in the way and my trusty 6600 jammed that needle down, breaking it into four pieces, three of which ended up in my finger. I was able to pull out one, but had to have one piece surgically cut out (after it got infected) and left a very tiny piece still in there. $1000 in medical bills made that quilt for grandson a very expensive one! You need to keep a close eye on the finger for fever, redness and swelling, all indicators of infection.

Spin that Webb young Davis
You need a stronger heart.
First hate (and really only hate) will always be Philadelphia. No exceptions.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
The key point in your post is, "I might have been a kid during the Aikman era". Which means you most likely remember the Superbowl championship in January of 1991, which helps.
Had you been a kid during the 1970's Roger Staubach era, when the Giants stunk. You might have a stronger sense of hatred towards the Dallas Cowboys.
For the record: The photo doesn't kill me. I was going for a little humor here, when I saw the photo on the internet last night. Mickey lived in Texas during his career, so I'm not shocked to see him wearing a Cowboys shirt. I probably would've posted an identical thread if I saw a photo of Eli wearing a Boston Red Sux shirt.

|Well worth the effort. We started our hike at Red's Meadow in Mammouth. We hiked the JMT to the Fork in the trail that leads to the cables. We camped out at the fork and started out at 5am. We had the cables all to our selves on the way up and on the way down. There was probally 10 people on the top while we were up there.
On the way down the trail we passed a-lot of people going up to Half Dome. I am glad we camped out and went when we did. The views were awsome, nothing can compare to them.

|Took my coworker to the summit of HD via cables. We started at around 5am and summited within 4 hours. After taking a much needed nap on the summit, wook about 3 hours to get back to the car. It was rather depressing to watch the incredible amount of trash on the trail and the summit itself, left behind by hordes of tourists. Fortunately, the scenery there is hard to beat and it was still quite enjoyable. My 3rd time to the top of this 'big rock'

|A can't miss hike for the adventuresome. My better half had this idea the previous year in Yosemite and so with the kids in camp, to Half Dome we went! I anally research most of my high country adventures so I knew what I was getting into with the cables. However, my wife did not. Not comfortable with heights, she decided to wait it out in the high meadow before the shoulder.
I trudged forward and had a good amount of company on the cables, but not too bad. Steady progress at first, but slowed dramatically about 300 feet up. Seems we got stuck behind some poor woman who decided to call it quits about 100 feet from the top. After I flew past her there was nobody else to contend with on the cables. Was not crowded at all on the way down and for a change it was less intimidating coming down then going up. Made it back to Happy Isles before dinner, round-trip of about 10 1/2 hours. Thing I was happiest about was that I made it to the top only 2 months after my second knee surgery.
One other thing that strikes me as odd is the amount of people with a Walmart fanny pack and cheap sandals who head towards the summit. Wonder what their feet look like the next day. Hmmm...

PBS series on Texas education challenges previews in March
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(March 19, 2007)--A new PBS documentary series on public higher education challenges and solutions, "State of Tomorrow," is previewing this month on PBS stations in San Antonio, Austin, College Station, El Paso and Waco, according to Randa Safady, series executive producer and UT System vice chancellor for external relations.
Four episodes of the series are airing in these cities before the full 13-episode launch in April, when all Texas PBS stations will carry the series. The robotic swarms of Mo Jamshidi, UTSA professor of electrical engineering, and his graduate students are featured in the series. Read more in a previous UTSA Today story.

"State of Tomorrow" includes 13 episodes that examine how public higher education innovators are pursuing solutions to Texas' biggest challenges in public health, homeland security, energy policy, economic development, environmental quality and education. The series highlights new research in bio-safety, nanotechnology, and proton therapy through thought-provoking interviews and visuals.
The series represents an unprecedented collaboration of a documentary production company, public television and public higher education institutions including UT System institutions, Texas A&M, Texas State, Texas Tech, University of Houston and University of North Texas.
Through the personal stories of cancer patients, hurricane survivors, farmers and teachers, and interviews with researchers, scientists and doctors, the series depicts global issues and solutions on a human scale.
"The University of Texas System is so proud to be part of this important series," said UT System Chancellor Mark G. Yudof. "Public higher education offers solutions to many of the major challenges facing Texas, and it is important for Texans to know that whether or not they ever set foot on our campuses, we work to ensure that they are the beneficiaries of education's service to society."
The series is co-produced by the University of Texas Foundation and Alpheus Media Inc. in partnership with public television station KLRU-TV, Austin, and is funded by sponsors including AT&T Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp., and IBC Bank, among others.
The University of Texas Foundation is a nonprofit corporation established in 1967 to accept and manage gifts in support of the UT System and its institutions. Alpheus Media Inc. is an independent film production company based in Austin, Texas, whose work has aired on PBS and the Discovery Channel.

What's Next for Sarah Palin?
Original post made by Cindy Cross, Parkside, on May 26, 2011
Speculation is circulating whether Sarah Palin is seriously considering a run for president in 2012.
A statement posted Thursday on Palin's political action committee website, "Starting from Washington, D.C. and going up through New England Governor Palin and the SarahPAC team will begin a trip through our nation's rich historical sites. The 'One Nation Tour' is part of our new campaign to educate and energize Americans about our nation's founding principles, in order to promote the Fundamental Restoration of America."
Palin's recent purchase of a $1.7 million estate in Scottsdale, Arizona, leave many wondering what her next move will be. Some speculate that Palin is getting herself ready to take over the senate seat soon to be vacated by retiring Arizona republican Senator Jon Kyl.
Palin may be testing the waters with her 'One Nation' bus tour through popular American cities by getting a temperature check on how well she is received. Similar to how Donald Trump's orange hued face appeared all over the internet with polls asking you to click 'yes' or 'no' if The Donald should run. The difference is that Palin is much better in person, and she knows it. I foresee huge crowds of adoring republicans clamoring to see her.
A lot has changed for the unknown Palin from 2008. By mid-2009, she negotiated a deal for $25 million to write two books, gives lectures for over $100,000 a pop, stars in her own show, 'Sarah Palin's Alaska', and is a political pundit on the right-wing Fox News Channel. The un-known from Wasilla, Alaska has morphed into a political media phenomenon.
A Gallup poll released Thursday showed Palin nearly tied with Mitt Romney in a national survey of Republican and Republican-leaning independent voters. Palin was supported by 15% and Romney by 17%. In Arizona, a Public Policy Polling recently surveyed voters there on whether they would like to see Palin move to the Grand Canyon State; 57% said no, 27% said yes, 16% were unsure.
Maybe Palin would be a good side-kick for Romney? Stay tuned.

What most stands out for me is Sarah's attempt to unify the nation under one nation. "One Nation Tour." That really says it all doesn't it? We have One Nation. Not a whole lot of nations. We have One Nation under One God. Not a whole lot of nations under all kinds of gods. We were founded as One Nation with one national people. We were not founded as One Nation and then let everyone else in. John Locke said it best: "First come first served. My property is my property and no one else's. My money is my money and no one else's." We are One People. Keep those who threaten our Oneness away.

Sarah Palin's One Nation speeches don't mince words. They are as pure and forceful as the driven snow. We need a strong leader who will Fundamentally Restore us to our foundationally pure Christian state. IMHO she is Snow White compared to the other dwarves who think they have a chance against her.

No, dublinmike, you terribly underestimate her. "Shyster?" Yes, perhaps. But beneath her photogenic smile and Barbie-like wardrobe exists a Fascist whose views can be understood as nothing less than Fascist in their contents.
You underestimate the appeal of her Fascist message to sizable numbers of right-wing yokel racist fruitcakes who are in search of a leader to unite them to "restore us" under One Nation, under One God, under one religion, under one race. No you say? More evidence you desire? Read Crystal and Clifford above. Go back and watch video clips of the kinds of worshipping crowds she was attracting and pandering to during her McCain-Palin campaign days. McCain backed off from the message those crowds were demanding; Palin never did but instead fed the fire of hate.
You're so right, she is selling books. Which means people are actually buying it. Her adoring minions are sizable; and she's got plenty of corporate backing as well -- e.g., Fox News. She isn't the superficial airhead that posters like Sam from Oak Hill claim she is. Interspersed with the seductive winks and folksy "you betchas" is a sickening set of appeals to the darkest elements in our society.
I think this calls for a very close and critical observation from those of us who remain sane in the face of this very real development.

"I think it's the emergence of a potential race," said Karl Rove on the possibility that Palin could make a run for the White House. "Look, I don't think she thinks the rules apply to her."
Nuff said.

I believe if she were selected the nominee I would vote for her. Obama has done absolutely nothing to help anything and has proven to be maybe our worst President ever so now I believe it is time to get a woman in there.

"Many Republican voters quizzed in the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released on Friday said they were not very satisfied with the current crop of candidates who will battle for the right to take on President Barack Obama in the November 2012 election.
Giuliani, with 16 percent support, narrowly edged former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, currently seen as the party's front-runner because of name recognition and a large campaign warchest, with 15 percent."

Having lived this long, I realize speculation in politics is an entertaining but largely meaningless activity.
I also realize that anxiety about the outcome of presidential races is unnecessary. The nation's vast mixture of competitive forces largely guarantees that by the time we narrow the choices down to two candidates, the differences between the two will be more theoretical than functional because of the compromises needed to garner sufficient support.
We're Americans. We muddle through.

I would hate to think that someone would vote for Palin, the pretty face, just because they dont like Obama. Folks, there will be other candidates to vote for. The woman does not promote unity at all, she is very devisive in her tactics. I do believe she would not stop at anything to get what she wants. I actually feel sick thinking about that cute little twinkie trying to run anything outside of Wasilla.

Ned Pablo,
Your both right of course, but I think it will be Palin/Bachman. The liberals can't handle it when 2 good lookin gals are conservative patriots. They will have no answer!! Obambi is a Moslem and he faked his college diplomos to. Didn't you see what Trump said about it? Born in Kenya. Learned to hate America in Moslem madrassa that is a school for Moslems where they learn terrorism and how to hate America. The voters have to take America back from these kinds of people and we will in the election.

It is interesting that Palin buys a home in Arizona.How do all of you who think she is the second coming rationalize the fact that she has such low approval ratings in Alaska where people know her best?The one compliment I will give her is that she is very good on stage and has a lot of charisma.She is also very smart in terms of deciding that she wanted to be very rich and very famous and has been a master of self-promotion.She is someone that knows the right buzz words and sound bytes to appeal to her base to make them love and adore her.The problem is she has no real depth,knowledge or substance.Read the new book about her by her long time assistant that has all the emails she sent and verified.It does not paint a pretty picture.What kind of a serious person is only interviewed by friends and wants to know the questions beforehand?How can a serious person get so upset by a question of what do you read when she is running for VP.Would any of you honestly be offended if you were running for any local office and you were asked what you read to keep informed on the issues??I think Palin besides being unqualified is not really genuine and is taking all of you to the bank.She reminds me of a hollywood starlet who craves adoration,attention and lots of money.I truly do not like her and it is not because she is a conservative,because I have many conservative beliefs.I think she is all about Sara and I believe she is the most undeserving person in terms of her fame and following in the history of America.

It might do people such as Pablo some good to expand your mind a little and force yourself to listen to,watch or read something from somewhere other than the far right fringe groups.The people on the far left can be wacko's but the far right has them beat by a mile.Stand back and take a deep breath and really think about all of b.s. you are espousing.Hatred combined with ignorance can be a very dangerous thing.Really.Flex those muscles you have in your brain and use a little common sense.If all you ever listen to is one point of view tell me how you can form an educated opinion on anything.

I am sorry but Obama is the worst President in the history of the United States and we need anyone but him. Actually even if he wins he has no power as the libs have taken themselves out completely. Gas will drive the election and so far he is so very imcompetent it is beyond believe and seems not to know what to do except to go to Europe everytime we need help here. I can only imagine if Bush has been sucking a beer in Europe during Kartrina. He is terrible and I voted for him so makes me a recovering moron.

Police: Suicide not ruled out in death of Census worker found hanged
posted at 9:56 pm on September 24, 2009 by Allahpundit
His body was allegedly found with the word "fed" scrawled across the chest, which was all the evidence the nutroots needed to conclude that the right's long, long-awaited murderous rampage had finally begun. Minor details after the fact: (a) Cops haven't ruled out suicide, (b) they won't confirm the "fed" bit, and (c) there were unspecified "errors" in the original AP story.
2) His death has been ruled "asphyxia," Trosper said in an interview. "There was a rope around his neck. It was attached to a tree," Trosper continued, adding this intriguing detail: "He was in contact with the ground."
That raises the possibilty that the cause of death was not hanging. Asked if this were possible, Trosper said: "Nothing is being ruled out."
3) Trosper said the initial AP story on the death contains "flaws and errors." That means it's possible that the AP's claim, based on an anonymous source, that he had the word "fed" scrawled on his chest could be false. Asked if that were the case, Trosper declined to comment.
Lefty Michael Roston urges caution, noting correctly that this might indeed be a case of militiamen gone wild but there's good reason to think that it isn't. Turns out the area's filthy with pot growers, drug dealers, and meth-heads known to get antsy when someone from the government knocks on their door.
Discourse in our nation may be getting scary in some situations – I certainly don't like hearing about 'watering the tree of liberty' with our fairly elected president's blood. But our drug war has had a lot of collateral damage for people at points all over the socioeconomic ladder, and regardless of their political orientations. A lot of folks on the left are eager to find a case to hold up against the overblown depiction of the Belleville bus fight last week. I fear that the interpretation of Mr. Sparkman's likely murder may be shaded by those events, instead of seeing this for the drug war consequence that it is.
Consider for instance that Rachel Maddow in her broadcast last night failed to even discuss the drug possibility. And over at Talking Points Memo, Zachary Roth argued today that, "it may be hard to separate those two motivations," of drugs versus anti-government sentiment. But anti-government sentiment by illegal drug producers is not the same thing as anti-Census and anti-Obama sentiment. Failing to hold up this possibility is a failing on the part of media that cover this story.
A further interesting detail buried in WaPo's story on this tonight: The Census Bureau says it has no information that Sparkman was targeted because he worked for the agency, which is hard to reconcile with the "fed" detail. Either it's true and the cops are keeping it under wraps for now or there never was any "fed" writing and the Bureau knows it.
What's uniquely disgusting about stories like this is the eagerness, to borrow Ace's perfectly apt description, to find an ideological motive with which to bludgeon one's opponents. The human life involved is reduced to the crudest sort of political prop. It reminds of when that nut walked into Hillary's campaign headquarters in New Hampshire during the Democratic primary and took everyone hostage, and for hours no one knew anything about the motive. I remember the palpable sense of anticipation in the blogosphere as people waited to find out if it was a crazed right-wing Clinton-hater whodunnit or a crazed left-wing Obama supporter. (The punchline: He ended up having no political motive.) If you think "eager" is the wrong adjective here, feast your eyes on the graphic being featured at Brad Blog, churned out with such amazing speed that it seems to have come from some sort of template. Skim the post while you're there, too. Turns out that even if this isn't the fault of conservative America in toto, it kind of is.

Water For Elephants Review! Robert Pattinson Rocks In 'Water For Elephants' — It's A MUST See!
If you were wondering whether Rob can have a career outside of the sexy blood sucking vampire world — the answer is yes!
Robert Pattinson is spectacular in Water For Elephants! The film based on Sara Gruen's popular novel, focuses on the life of Jacob Jankowski, a straight-A student one week from getting his veterinary degree from Cornell University, during the Great depression. His entire life is turned upside down when his parents are tragically killed in a car accident ,leaving him penniless,with no home and unable to take his final exams. Jacob sets off without knowing where he will go and like many homeless men at the time he hops a train hoping to go West and find work. Lucky for him, the train he hops, carries the traveling circus- The Benzini Brothers- and it turns out, they are in dire need of a vet!
Jacob quickly falls for the beautiful star of the show ,Marlena, (Reese Witherspoon), as well as the other beautiful lead, Rosie ,the elephant. The cast is completed by August (Christoph Waltz) who plays Marlena's charming but sociopathic husband, who is also the ringmaster of the circus troop.
Rob uses his boyish charm to make the audience love him. He smiles and giggles throughout the film as the young and awkward Jacob. While Reese's character brilliantly dominates him with her stunning beauty and sweet but steely personality. They bond over their love of animals — especially their passion for the mischievous Rosie.
The entire film sparkles with exquisitely sequined costumes and colorfully exaggerated circus sets. And it is definitely a breath of fresh air to see Rob's intense chemistry with someone other than his onscreen and offscreen love, Kristen Stewart.
The film is a great beginning of a long onscreen career for Rob. And both Reese and Christoph prove once again that they are among the best actors of our time. I love you Rob and would have stuck by you through anything, but I'm happy I didn't have to see another Remember Me to prove that!

When looking
through forums and checking out what people are purchasing for
new systems, a question that pops up a lot is what brand and
type of memory is good at certain speeds.
There are various types of memory available.
Most of what you will see comes from distributors such
as Kingston, PNY, Corsair, or Mushkin.
These are just a few of the most well-known computer
memory distributors. Another
company that is becoming increasingly popular is Enhanced
Memory Systems.
With their
product, the HSDRAM, there has been a lot of talk in the
overclocking community. As
the bus speeds of Intel's processors increase with the current
multiplier locks, it becomes increasingly harder to overclock
the Pentium III processor.
Another advantage of the HSDRAM is stability when using
a 133MHz front side bus Pentium III in a VIA133A based
motherboards for the Pentium III CPU are very popular among
people as an alternative to Intel's i820 chipset based
motherboards. When
using an i820, you have to either use the memory performance
crippled SDRAM slots, or use the very expensive RDRAM memory.
With VIA's
133MHz motherboards, you don't have to settle for sub standard
memory performance, or sacrifice stability when working with
SDRAM. It is true
that the BX would give better performance with SDRAM on the
133+MHz FSBs, but it can be hard on some AGP video cards since
the BX chipset was not totally designed with the 133MHz bus in
mind. Those of us that can take advantage of the great memory
performance on BX motherboards on high FSBs will be happy to
know that the EMS HSDRAM comes up a winner with this
Makes HSDRAM Better Than the Rest?
I've been
hearing from a lot of people the question of "Why should
I choose HSDRAM for my system"?
It may be true that another brand of memory will take
you to the bus speed that you want, but when you do that it's
like a gamble. You
may never know what speed you can get from certain brands of
memory chips until you plug it into your system.

RG3 was a threat everytime he had the ball in his hands. RG3 opened up all the opportunities for Garcon, Pauleson, and Morris. We left Garcon WIDE OPEN ON A SLANT PASS...and why is that? Because our linebackers were keying in on what RG3 was doing. Our offense even tried to keep RG3 off the field, and they did....and that was our only legitimate way of stopping RG3. RG3 singlehandley fooled our Defensive front and made them insignificent throughout the contest. I was hoping we switched to a 3-4 in the middle of that game.
Yes the Redskins are a .500 team as we speak, but that does not mean they cannot improve on that. If it wasnt for they sorry secondary they would of swept us this year. I cant stand RG3, but you have to give this man his respect....we did not have many possessions and as a rookie he had more poise than any1 on our team. And also remember that Alfred Morris is also a 6round rookie as his sidekick.
We have Eli Manning and a veteran Bradshaw and a 1st round rookie against a sorry secondary and no Orakpo....and our offensive looked like a hot mess. If it wasn't for Tynes, we would probably be a .500 team or even worse.
7 yards a carry.

Barry, I ask that you leave the thread active, giving jbshearse time to comment. A lot of time went into those posts, and if there is going to be any discussion, it will at least be informed.
No it implies yeast.
Sorry Barry, written before I saw your post.
Deknow, thanks for another brilliant thread. No doubt it will be a big help to my beekeeping, and with this knowledge, you might even be able to stop buying packages to replace all your bees every year.
I'm all done Barry. Now to print out these 400+ posts and start studying for the big test. Sure do hope the ink and paper supply holds out. Wonder if I could figure out a way to get a pie chart showing who did the most postings?:gh:Thought this would be a good graphic to leave as a reminder of all the good times. Hey Dean, as Bill O'Reilly would say (Im sure you love him) "I'll give you the final word" (could it be any other way?)
Is it time for the "yo momma" insults now? get a grip!
Jim, in this case, the crime was evident...the bees were dead/dying, no? All of our suppliers are observant and honest...if something like this was going on, they would notice, and they would take action.
there is always the possibility of something more subtle going on...but how many people/year are poisoned by honey in the U.S.? we are dealing directly with the producers who are well above average in their skills and their attention to detail. Given their practices and who they are (and the extent to which I feel like I can rest my business on their integrity and skill), I'm not very concerned...I'm much more paranoid about broken glass ending up in a jar.
But one thing is for sure....if they had an incident that needed someone to investigate, the investigators would not find amatraz (which was illegal at the time, and still is in fl, I think...but now there is a higher than zero limit in honey) or fipronol filled cd cases in the bottoms of the hive. I don't care who tests that stuff, I don't want it.
I apologize but I simply can't resist pointing out the obvious. Here is an individual relying on "observant and honest" individuals whom he does business with buying untested honey that he professes to be superior that has challenged the beekeeping practices of a large scale honey producer (who actually controls 100% of his operation and has definitive independent testing results to show that it is some of the purest honey available) who wants us to follow his rhetoric and believe that the product he markets and sells (does not produce) is for whatever reason superior. Now pardon me for a second here while I scrape years of propolis off my brain, does this make sense to anyone?
Sense? No there's certainly double standards involved as everybody elses honey is tested and held up for public scrutiny, but not his own. Or more accurately as he doesn't actually produce honey, what he buys from other beekeepers. What's to hide?
After reading the one eyed comments in these threads though, one eyed business practises hardly surprise me.
It's what happens when a person believes their own propaganda. Doing the testing, could be a risk. Better "don't know, can't say".
on the other hand, if none of us gave a crap, there wouldn't be all this bs. :)
True. Guess being insulted, belittled and made to appear a liar is hard to resist attempting to refute, along with watching things being "proved", that aren't proved. But I'll have to try more self discipline, there's a lot of gear in my shed should have been made yesterday.
I offer an open invitation to anyone that has participated in this thread to choose any honey in our facility or off the shelf to test it by any of the standard methods, or via the Polarmetrics machine (I give this caveat because one time I was told our honey was being tested against other honey in the store, and it turned out it was "muscle testing".
you think it should be done, you think i have something to hide, you pay for it. You better come pick it out yourself so I don't give you "one of the good batches":rolleyes: I only ask that it not be the only honey you test at the same time...test it along with your own, with honey from walmart, or honey from the health food store, or amazon.com for all i care.

Pequot Lakes boy is ready to play outside
"Play ball!"
Although spring sports in our local schools have been delayed or forced indoors, Major League Baseball is on our minds and young and old alike are itching to get outdoors to toss the ball or work on their swing.
Nine-year-old Wyatt from Pequot Lakes is anxious to get outside, but he finds most of his time is spent inside the family apartment with his mom, who is confined with health issues.
Wyatt is especially sad because his first Kinship Partner had to discontinue their relationship because of his own health problems.
Wyatt and his former mentor enjoyed visiting the city park, playing air hockey and collecting shells. He also attended the Crow Wing County Fair for the first time and shared a weekend camping experience with his mentor and his wife.
His mentor exposed him to horses and the family dogs. Time was spent doing ordinary activities that both the mentor and mentee enjoyed.
Wyatt also has a keen interest in design and drawing. He loves Legos and puzzles. Although he isn't into sports, he enjoys learning new games.
His former mentor recommends that his Kinship mentor be active and encourage Wyatt to run and jump. He is described as a kind-hearted and gentle boy, a good listener, but often worried about his family. Although he tends to be shy, he can carry on an interesting conversation.
Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing and southern Cass counties and the Staples-Motley area by providing positive role models to youth ages 5 to 14. Offices are in Pequot Lakes, Brainerd, Crosby and Staples.
For information on Wyatt or any of the children waiting for mentors, call 218-454-8016 or email email@example.com.
The website is www.kinshippartners.org.
Let's help get Wyatt outdoors and circling the bases soon.

Here is what the application does in a nutshell. DropBox gives you 2GB of free space on their server. You create a DropBox folder on your computer, mine is in the "My Documents" folder. From that point you can put files into the folder and they are automatically transferred to the DropBox server. Not only does this create a backup of your file, it also allows you to access the files from other computer, in several ways.
I can easily view files on my iPod Touch, or an iPhone if you have one. You can email copies of the files to your friends directly from the iPhone app. You can also view files anywhere you can get an Internet connection, through any web browser. In this posting, I am not going to focus on the mobile aspects of DropBox becuase that is not really why I love it so much.
The greatest part of DropBox happens when you install the program on two or more computers. I have it on both my home and work laptops. When I change a file in my DropBox folder at home, my DropBox folder at work is automatically updated to match. In essence, I now have three copies of my files and all of the copies are exactly the same. I can work on a file at home, save it to the DropBox folder, and finish it at work the next day.
Now for the life-changing part...it works with my Family Tree Maker files! I have Family Tree Maker 2010 installed at home and at work. I saved my FTM file in the DropBox folder at home and, each time I close out Family Tree Maker, DropBox sends the changes to its server and then to my work computer. I can actually work on my genealogy files during my lunch at work, without dragging my laptop from home every day. I have been doing this for a week or so now without any problems. It is wonderful! I can actually work on the same file, from multiple computers, and not have multiple versions of that file. All of the changes are merged together!
I have only been doing this for a few days so I am still a little weary about trusting it completely. I am keeping another backup copy of my genealogy files on my home laptop for now. However, I plan on continuing to use DropBox and I will let you know if I ever have any problems with it. In the mean time, you can sign up for free and try it too. They have some paid plans, but only if you need more space. I would be interested to know if this works with other genealogy software programs. I would imagine that it would do just fine but always keep a backup when if you try something new.

Specifically I am looking at the Jango Vest. ANyone have one how nice is it. A review is basically what I am looking for.
Thanx Chris
Specifically I am looking at the Jango Vest. ANyone have one how nice is it. A review is basically what I am looking for.
Thanx Chris
What the link Chris? I never heard of them.
pm sent
it looks like its a seller on ebay
Ya sorry it is a sellar on ebay. THey have alot of fett stuff so I figured it was someone here or you guys would know.
I have their machined darts and toe spikes for Fett. I like them, reasonable price for metal parts. Not sure about their soft parts. They are very willing to talk to you about stuff too if you think they need to improve the way someting looks before you buy it.
That eBay member is also a member here. I can't think of his screen name off the top of my head but he was doing a jango flight suit run not too long ago.
Hi ... yes .. im a member here ! im Gabriel ... and if any have a questions about the Vest please tell me ... and remember that the price for friends are 60 ! tailored and you can choose the colour (black or blue)
I just got my vest today from Evolution Toys Shop. I sent them the measurements, and low and behold, it is too short. I was guaranteed to have it before the 22nd, and i got it yesterday instead. So they were late and cut it wrong, other than that, it is a nice looking vest, nicely made from the looks of it. I can send you pictures if you want? And what I paid for it. If you order from them, order it a little longer.
My girlfriend has been dealing with Gabriel from evolutions too,his work is good although they did the same for my ROTJ softpart .....the flightsuit was smaller then than the measurements my girlfriend gave and the vest and neck seal well ...somehow they sent the wrong colour in which was a kind of olive green colour ...but then my girlfriend told Gabriel of the problem on the vest and such in which he sent another vest and neck seal ....and low and behold another wrong colour !! and this time it was silver/grey colour hmmm..dunno how they got mistaken for white on ROTJ vest and neck seal being silver/grey...in the end my Girlfriend gave up and ordered me another vest and neck seal from Gabriel which turned out great and in the correct colour of white,however i took it to my local steamstress and got them to modify the velcro on the back of the vest and got it fitted with a zip

We're long time fans of The Dø. It's just a shame that they haven't ever quite gotten the attention they really deserve. We were so excited when a new EP dropped last December with an impressive couple of tracks including the excellent 'Slippery Slope'. I've been listening to a version of their newest LP, now entitled Both Ways Open Jaws, since at least the very start of this year; and here it is finally getting it's full international release starting in Continental Europe on the 28th of October, with Australia, the UK and the US following on November 11th, 14th and 15th accordingly.
And it's a beautiful album. The thing is, a lot of bands only have a certain window in which to release music in - after all, you need to be on the wave to be able to ride it. But with some acts, even if it takes them ages to release an album they wrote seemingly forever ago, the time passing doesn't take anything away from how good their actual music is (plus Olivia and Dan are like, total babes).
To catch you up on our lack of keeping you up; here's 'Slippery Slope', the awesome first single off of Both Ways Open Jaws, in it's hypnotic, tribal-folk and addictively odd glory (the video for which we posted last year):
From 'Slippery Slope', The Dø change their tune and show their range in the second track, 'Too Insistent'. The melody, sung by Olivia's aching, childlike vocals, tug at strings you never knew you had, whilst Dan's production is intimately close yet somehow expansive; sweetly warm and jangling in perfect accompaniment to Olivia's voice. 'Too Insistent' is just too lovely:
[Edited: my bad! Illegal album stream! Let's hope y'all get to hear it proper soon. In the meantime, here's a teaser instead. SORRAY]

I kind of like Lawrence/Swiegers music and program. They skated pretty decently except for an aborted lift and the problems on the 2A-2A sequence (he singled, then they both had problems with the second one). She needs more stretch on the lifts, but they are enjoyable to watch.
decent score for evora ladwig --it is a good score despite their mistakes
proud of them
gerboldt and her partner has a bright future ahead of them, if they can keep up among the russian pairs which is usually a tough field.
E&L skate so beautifully, even if they have technical problems sometimes. Unfortunately, it's not the mens competition, so I don't think they can win with a fall.
I really like watching Amanda and Mark. They are a very classy looking team
takashi/tran has a great future for them ahead in pairs, too bad about the fall-it seem to have thrown the girl off kilter a bit for the rest of the skate.
it was a bad fall-i felt for her
I don't get the scoring for T/T at all.

A breast lump is a growth of tissue that develops within your breast. Finding a lump in your breast can be frightening. Most breast lumps aren't dangerous, but it's important to see your doctor to have them evaluated promptly.
Breast lumps can result from:
Only by seeing your doctor for evaluation can you be certain of what kinds of tests you might need and which type of breast lump you have.
Read more about breast lumps and breast lump evaluation.
Mayo Clinic doctors begin to diagnose your breast lump by performing a physical exam of your breasts. Depending on your age and the location of the lump, your doctor will recommend a mammogram or ultrasound image.
Following the evaluation and a review of your tests, your doctor may tell you that you have no problem and the changes are related to normal glandular changes of the breast or that your lump is a simple cyst. If you have no other symptoms, you may need only regular follow-up exams.
However, if your doctor determines that your breast lump still appears to be suspicious after breast imaging, you may need a biopsy:
Whatever the biopsy method used, your doctor sends the tissue samples to a lab for analysis by a pathologist — a doctor who specializes in studying diseases and the changes they cause in body tissues. You may have to wait two or three days for the lab results.
Read more about breast exam, breast biopsy and lumpectomy.
Your treatment choices depend on the type of breast lump you have. Your Mayo Clinic doctor will explain your options and consider your preferences as you work together to develop a treatment plan for your condition.
If you're at high risk of developing breast cancer, you may benefit from Mayo Clinic's prevention and genetic counseling services.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, doctors trained in family medicine, community internal medicine and women's health internal medicine work with the Breast Clinic staff to evaluate and treat women and men who have suspicious breast lumps.

Please welcome Rita of Mochachocolata-Rita as a guest blogger on Rasa Malaysia. Rita is an Indonesian who currently resides in Hong Kong. Whenever I visit her blog, I feel "jealous" that she is constantly traveling and eating around Asia (she loves to shop, too!). As a true Indonesian, Rita shares with us her mouthwatering and tantalizing sate recipe, and outlined the steps involved in making authentic sate (photos in the gallery). Her sate is seriously great looking and I can't wait to try her recipe!
Living in Hong Kong, I am blessed with plenty Indonesian restaurants. Missing my home country's food? No worries, they're just a short MTR ride away. However, finding a great Indonesian sate dish is proven to be challenging. Most places simply deep fry their skewered marinated meat and call them sate. My Hong Kong friends thought these "Hong- Kongized watered down Indonesian sate" were yummy, until they tried mine. I developed the recipe based on the Sate Babi/Ayam Kecap I always ordered from my opposite neighbor when I was young. They came out pretty close. I promise you, those sate were the ones that made me spend my teenage years being not-so-svelte, despite the extra fast metabolism.
So, I'm sorry, baby. You're never going back to those deep-fried-meat-on-a-stick no more.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! I described the ideal RPD build back when that bobbed RPD from the rhodesian bush wars was circulating. This looks like what I had in mind. If ever I get the time to do so, I will build one of these:
Semi Auto 7.62 X 39 RPD Rifle- RPDCARBINE-D S Arms
Quite possibly the *perfect* SAW-like belt weapon. 7.62x39; "modernized" grip, stock, and lightened barrel.
The one thing I would change would be to make it just like that Rhodesian build and put a folding stock on it. That would of course imply needing to redesign the recoil spring so it doesn't need to go past the back of the receiver. Similar to a FAL para redesign. I think that could be done with a minimal amount of machining but then again who knows. Here's a pic of that Rhody build - am I right that it has no buttstock or recoil spring? Or is it an optical illusion in how he is holding it?


text: OK, guys, its hot in NC and I need the rear AC...It was intermitten for awhile then just died in winter. OK, I am no rookie...I have restored many cars in my day from VW to old Caddys. The mystery is, where is the relay that powers the blower in the rear of a Suburban? There is power to the relays and they engage, you can hear them click with the knob, just no power to feed them or the blower. A friend has told me it is the high speed power relay...I have no idea as to where that is. There is no power on the rear power wire so a relay is somewhere to power it. Its not any relay in back, those merely activate the power that is not there for the blower. Any thoughts to where? My dog thanks you if you know where....Russ

Set on a rugged peninsula between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans with iconic Table Mountain as its backdrop, the city of Cape Town sits in one of the world's most spectacular settings.

It's a multi-faceted destination that deserves to be explored. Naturally, there are dozens of scheduled tours on offer but many visitors prefer to travel to Cape Town and discover this friendly and slow-paced city at their own pace: take some time to browse African craft markets in the walkably compact city centre, visit the colourful Cape Malay suburb of Bo Kaap, lounge on its best beaches and stroll around the ever-popular V&A Waterfront with its shops, restaurants and luxurious hotels.

Even as he approaches his second year of collegiate golf competition, Hope's Eric Wohlfield continues to receive recognition for his freshman season.
Wohlfield has been named the winner of the eighth annual Softspikes Freshman of the Year award as the outstanding freshman among all NCAA Division III freshman golfers. The award is presented by the College Golf Coaches Association.
A graduate of Brighton (Mich.) High School, Wohlfield was medalist of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and finished 19th at the NCAA Division III championships.
He is the first Hope and MIAA golfer to receive the national freshman of the year award.
In 1998-99 Wohlfield established an MIAA record by averaging 72.4 strokes over eight conference tournaments. Over 13 tournaments during the fall and spring seasons Wohlfield averaged 75.1 strokes per 18-hole round.
The picture of consistency, he was the league tournament medalist only twice, but never shot over 76 and three times had rounds of 70. During the spring he was the medalist in two tournaments. He was named to the District 4 All-District team and was named a pre- tournament All-America prior to the national championships. Wohlfield had the best score among the five individual qualifiers to the NCAA championships and the second best score among all freshman golfers.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued the following statement on The Nation's Report Card: Mathematics 2009, National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) at Grades 4 and 8:
"Today's results are evidence that we must better equip our schools to improve the knowledge and skills of America's students in mathematics. Our students have made real gains in math over the past two decades, but for the first time since NAEP's mathematics test started in 1990, student achievement in fourth grade has not improved. More must be done to narrow the troubling achievement gap that has persisted in mathematics, and to ensure that America's students make greater gains toward becoming competitive with their peers in other countries.
"None of us should be satisfied. We need reforms that will accelerate student achievement. Our students need to graduate high school ready to succeed in college and the workplace. These NAEP results are a call to action to reform the teaching and learning of mathematics and other related subjects in order to prepare our students to compete in the global economy.
"President Obama's agenda for school reform is focused on improving student achievement. We're building a teaching profession that will ensure every child has an excellent teacher and that teachers are rewarded for excellent work. We're supporting efforts to create standards and assessments that prepare students for success in college and careers. We're helping states build data systems to track whether students are meeting those standards. And we're turning around our lowest-performing schools.
"People across the country need to work together to make these reforms happen. That includes elected officials, community leaders, educators, parents, and students themselves. We all need to build a better future for our children and our country."
