Which Press/reloading system?
As a newcomer to reloading, I'm bewildered by the equipment options! As luck would have it, my shooting partner acquired a Dillon 1050 system with all the accoutrements to include most common caliber pistol round dies. However, we need to reload .300 winmag, .50 BMG, 308, 270, 243 as well, which the 1050 system can't accomodate. I thought about getting a Dillon 650 XL, but a friend told me it would not be as useful in making highly accurate rounds for precision long distance shooting ( the application for my 300 winmag and 50 BMG). Any advice on where to start? Is there one press system that will allow me to load all of these different rounds, as long as I get the proper dies?

In my opinion I would go with a solid single stage press for precession reloads.
The Lee Classic Cast Press is strong and not expensive.

Progressives are intended to loads lots of ammo, which is fine for handgun and informal target shooting. But most guys do not shoot large volumes of the bigger rifle cartridges such as .300WM and .50BMG, or even .308. A single stage should be plenty for those.
If you are shooting a semi-auto rifle, or through multiple rifles, then you may want to get an RCBS X-die for resizing you you do can full length size without having to trim except the first time. If you are shooting a cartridge through just one rifle for accuracy then you can neck size, but you will occasionally need to trim the case length.
I am not sure if one press can use the same die size for .50BMG and other rifle cartridges. You may need one single stage for most rifles and a dedicated larger one for .50BMG.

If you were prepared to spring for a 650 you could buy 3 Lee Classic Cast single stage presses and set up individual processing stations, decap and resize at station 1, ... process the brass ... prime, charge, and seat the bullet at station 2, and crimp at station 3. I like single stage presses and have been doing what I described for years. I also have the Lee Classic Turret and can highly recommed it as well.

Because of the 50 BMG, specifically, I think the Lee Classic Cast press is the most reasonable option. The .50 BMG dies (as mentioned above) are wider diameter dies with a bigger thread (1 1/4–12) than standard dies (7/8–14), so most standard presses cannot be used with .50 BMG dies. The Lee, however, has the .50 BMG die thread, then uses an adapter to accommodate standard size dies for the other calibers you are interested in. You can buy the press alone or already dressed up and complete with a set of dies for .50 BMG. Do take the time to read the reviews on Midway's site. They range from folks surprised by how easy it was to resize a 50 BMG to those who broke the press trying. I'm guessing the latter don't realize some surplus .50 BMG is in steel cases (check with a magnet before reloading, even if it's brass colored), but that's just a guess. My main point is, read the instructions and watch the Lee help videos on the web site before trying.

Consider a good turret press for rifle loads. Make sure it will handle the length of a 50 BMG or you will need a separate press.
I load thousands of rounds of .223 on my XL 650 but for all my precision loads I use an RCBS Rock Chucker. You will be going about loading these rounds in steps anyway so you really don't need a progressive. Deprime and size all your cases, then add powder and seat. I do this in blocks of 50. If desired you can add a final step of Crimping. For that, when I want to, I use a Lee FCD.

The only turret presses I've seen that can do a 50 BMG are the old Hollywood turrets. It may be hard to find a shell holder for that press but it is certainly big enough to do the job. I wouldn't want to load 50 BMG on a turret just because it is unique to the standard set ups.

Personally, I wouldn't use a Lee press for a door stop.
When I had my gun shop I sold many a Lyman starter set with nary a complaint. I don't know it it will take the .50 BMG dies however. You will have to check that out. The Lyman is a stout and reliable tool.
I use a very-very old Lyman turret for my loading.

Get a Lee single station BMG set and a Lee turret with a couple of plates for the rest. Add a RCBS 1500 Chargemaster scale and a Lee Autoprime, and you're set.
I used to love being able to hit hard at 1000 yards. As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.

I agree with Xfire68, the Lee Classic Cast Press is a great product and a great press for the price. Being new to reloading if I were you I would look into all the single stage Lee presses, either one you pick you get alot of bang for your buck.

I haven't used any Lyman products except for my Turbo Pro 1200 tumbler and their red media for same. Been going strong for about 15,000 cases of all sizes, etc.
RCBS is what I use now and no disappointments here.
Also, very true about not needing a progressive if you're making precision rifle loads. Progressive presses are going to be wonderful for making a ton of straightwall pistol ammo so grab one if you think you may do that eventually. But stick with a single stage and work 'em up carefully for the rifle rounds.

Just curious about you guys who are dissing the Lee presses. Have you used the Classic Cast series of products? Your negative assertions might be viewed with credibility if you were to articulate the specific shortcomings of Lee Classic presses when compared to other presses on the market. Otherwise you are simply telling everyone on the forum you are a bigoted a$$ who likes to spout off about things when you have no direct relevant experience with them. If you have legitimate gripes with factual information lets hear them. I make boat loads of great quality ammo using Lee products. I have a lot of other stuff on my bench too but hang me if I set out to berate someone's product without factual information to support my claims.

Please excuse my bigotry but I can afford pretty much any brand of loading equipment I want. I figure for the loading I do it doesn't really matter, almost all my equipment will quite likely outlast me. I've invested a fair amount in RCBS, Dillon, Hornady, Lyman et al but I can't get through a loading session without Lee products. If I were to buy a turret or single stage press today it would most likely be a Lee. Considering the cost of factory ammo, the relative cost of reloading equipment and the durability of quality equipment I feel I should buy the best equipment money can buy, quite often it's Lee.

"Considering ...the durability of quality equipment I feel I should buy the best equipment money can buy, quite often it's Lee."
Bingo. Especially the Classic Cast twins. And Lee's alum alloy presses are much better/stronger than many think. I have proven that to doubters by demonstrating the spring/deflection of my Rock Chucker compaired to my two very small Lee "Reloader" presses while FL sizing .30-06 cases with the same sizer die. The massive cast iron RC deflects almost 3 thou but neither of my tiny "pot metal" Reloaders move my dial indicator enough to measure!
If I had to replace my RC next week it would be with a Lee Classic Cast, it's the better press.

For 50 BMG, Lee, Hornady and RCBS offer single stage presses that will take the appropriate dies, but...
Lee 50 BMG dies are 1-1/4 x 12, whereas RCBS and Hornady 50 BMG dies are 1-1/2 x 12. A press that will take 1-1/2 x12 dies will also accept 1-1/4x12 with an adapter bushing. So an RCBS or Hornady 50 BMG press can use all three die brands, whereas the Lee can only use Lee 50 BMG dies.
Other presses you may want to look at include the Ponsness/Warren 50BMG press, the CSP-2 from Corbin, the Walnut Hill press from RCE, and Dillon's BFR press. All of these accept 1-1/2x12 dies.

Thanks to all for their input. I'm always impressed by both the knowledge and generous desire to share it that I find on TFL. Well, I've decided to get the Hornady LnL 50 BMG press with add'l dies for 300WM, 308 and 30-30. From the accounts of friends it is a reliable piece of equipment. The Lee Classic Cast for 50BMG was a much better deal for the money, but the Hornady may be more durable and it has a longer cast, giving it some mechanical advantage for those big magnum cartridges

The wooden knob on the handle of the press fell off after a year. Yeah I could fix it. Why should I?
The powder measure, after about the same amount of time starting dumping powder out the sides on every turn of the crank. It was made of a sort of nylon plastic and it just couldn't hold up.
Of course, the powder measure loads became very inconsistent.
The scale started wavering badly after a couple of years. Never could figure out why, either.
I still use the dies. Still use some of the other minor components. But mostly, everything is being replaced gradually.
Good enough for ya? You could have asked politely and I would have been more than happy to answer regardless but no, you have to go accuse people of being bigots. Give it a rest, dude.

My favorite press is a Forster Coax, but I'm sure it won't do .50 BMG. It works great for other rifle ctgs, and low-volume pistol reloading.

See ... now we're getting somewhere. The Lee press knob may come off. You shoud probably just leave it off else it may come off again and further lessen your opinion of the press. Does it make quality ammo?

A couple more questions:
Will a good turret press make rifle ammo as precisely as a single stage press?
Will a turret press make good rifle ammo more quickly than a single stage?

However, if you do make rifle ammo on your turret press, there may be other considerations beyond what is required for straight wall pistol ammo so make note.
I'm very interested in other answers to your question as well.

I'm going to go with "Yes" on both even though I have no experience with the turret presses. I do all my precision loading on a single stage but have no doubt that the turret presses can be faster and make precision reloads. As you know a turret press can be used as a single stage and some single stage presses (IIRC) can be converted to turret presses. Seems to me that unless you require the volume of a progressive a turret press is the most versatile press. OTOH if you chose to start out with a quality single stage you'll always find a use for it.

About product bashing.
I read (or at least scanned) all your other posts, and you seem a reasonable guy who writes well-considered posts. Product bashing is not your typical style.
When I see unsupported dislike of any product, as a rule, I discount the opinions as prejudiced. Though I don't immediately count the author as a bigot. Not until proven, at least. But such unsupported detractions (or, for that matter, praise) do little to help the education of members reading the posts looking for useful truths.
Wll supported detractions or praise, do have value.
That said, let me address your specifics.
The wooden ball that came off your handle. Some people appreciate that it is easy to remove. I know of one entrepreneur selling decorative balls to replace it, to help owners customize their presses in that small way.
The powder measure. Lee makes three different ones. There "Perfect" measure, the Auto-Disk and the Auto-Disk Pro. The Pro model has an elastomer "wiper" that aids in making the measure less leaky and more accurate, but the drawback is that it wears out and must be replaced occasionally (I hear).
I don't know why your scale is wavering. Lee's "Perfect Powder Scale" is the soul of simplicity. It is super-sensitive and I did not think much of the one I had until I acquired another one in a trade that came with instructions, which I read. From your other posts, I opine that you have sufficient mechanical skills to figure out your scale. But I do like my RCBS 10-10 a lot better than the Lee.
While flashole's use of the phrase "bigoted a$$ who likes to spout" was a bit over the top, I am sure you can relate to the sentiment.
The reason I am posting this (instead of just sending a private message) is to share with the forum membership my belief that most mechanical devices (in good repair) can be made to function as designed, and most designs put forth by press makers are decent designs. Lee, Hornady, RCBS, Dillon, Lyman, Forster and many others.
Manufacturers who don't have good designs, well-executed, don't stay in business long.

Idol-sized ego
Page Tools
Kyle Sandilandsfrom Austereo will replace Dicko on Australian Idol.
Photo: Supplied
Kyle Sandilands may be hot property to his employer Austereo, but the guy's ego is so rampant he has garnered his share of detractors. Now that he has been chosen as Ian "Dicko" Dickson's replacement as the nasty dude on Australian Idol, there are fears that Sandilands and ego may not fit through the door of the 2DayFM studio from which he and Jackie O broadcast their breakfast show into Sydney each morning.
But we'll leave the sniping to the experts. Comic Wil Anderson, himself a former breakfast jock, dropped a few irresistible gags about Sandilands on ABC television's The Glass House last week. Anderson suggested that having scoured the nation for people more obnoxious than Dicko, they could find only one, the male star of the Vile and Jackie Ho show.
Anderson can say that because his years working at the ABC's youth station Triple J have garnered him plenty of cred. But another Triple J announcer, Myf Warhurst, is this week struggling to maintain her cool credentials after making a spectacle of herself last night on ABC TV's Spicks and Specks.
During the music quiz show Warhurst was asked to name the artist and song title of a track that for years was something of an anthem on Triple J. She managed to identify Nirvana, but the title of what must be the band's best-known song - Smells Like Teen Spirit - eluded her. How embarrassment.
· Letters home are the subject of a Radio National documentary to go to air this week. Writer Helen Townsend has used 40 years of correspondence between her Irish-born emigrant grandfather William Irwin, who became a leading Ballarat citizen, and his family, to craft a documentary that uses their story to consider the Irish diaspora in the second half of the 19th century.
Blending the personal with the prosaic, the letters relate the struggles of the Irish farm family left behind, juxtaposing their tales with Irwin's more glamorous adventures.
Townsend's daughter Sophie co-wrote and produced the documentary, which will be broadcast on Sunday at 2pm and repeated next Thursday at 1pm.
· Community station 3CR is turning its studio over to women on Tuesday as its way of acknowledging International Women's Day. Women of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicity will be presenting programs over 24 hours from midnight Monday.

The fall TV schedule will be released mid-May, and the future of many shows, namely SURFACE, is on the fence. Now, you know I love me some Surface. As one poster on TWOP put it, "It's like our scifi version of Passions!" It's not just a monorail...it's a Noah's Ark monorail to the end of the world with clones on it! It's not just a baboon...it's a crazy little-girl-voice talking baboon! I ask you, where can you get fine entertainment like that? Nowhere, which is why you have to go here:
How can you resist a face like that? But you have to go now to join in the MAYDAY! activities--signatures on several petitions, emails, and other messages are being collected to present on May Day to the studio execs. Free Nim!
Still Going
Congratulations to Stargate SG:1 in filming its 200th episode for its upcoming 10th season. Click here to see the CTV (it's filmed in Vancouver) news clip and some unfortunate MacGyver plastic surgery results. The episode was divided into parts and distributed amongst all the regular castmembers who wrote the script laden with inside jokes and based it on the hugely popular episode Wormhole X-Treme, in which the team serves as "consultants" on a TV show spoofing...Stargate. Apparently, RD Anderson will substantially be in this episode, rather than just on the Red Phone, in the other room, late, at home, in the bathroom, locked in his office, vaporized, or any of the other number of excuses they've had in the last year for his retirement.
The cake:
Farewell, dear Alias, which completed filming, forever, this week. Here is my tribute, based on JJ Abrams' next big project...

Death and Aliens
April 15th marks Tax Day as usual and in non-celebration, an Invasion Marathon. Haven't been keeping up? Well, why not?! Sure the beginning was slow, what with NotDeanCain strutting around and "Carleeeeeta!!!" getting out to roam the Everglades, but ever since the big reveal (shape-shifting, gut-sucking alien manta rays) it's just been getting better. Or weirder. Or something. But at least it's fun.
Anyway, the last 9 episodes start at noon on ABC Family (which means none of that boring lead-up stuff) in preparation for the big final episodes starting back on Wednesday after LOST.

Standard Nerds
Speaking of nerds, I ran across a great new sitcom on YouTube. It's called The IT Crowd (as in information technology) and the 6 original episodes aired on BBC in March. It's kind of a cross between Office Space and The Office, with a lot of dry British wit and geekiness. Don't expect sleek American sets by any means, though. It takes place in the basement of a self-proclaimed Ally McBeal-type business and they don't clean off their one tiny window until episode 6.
Main characters are a pocket protector type who emails the fire department when a fire breaks out, a gaming slob who trolls the upper floors offering help to attractive women, their attractive manager who knows nothing about IT but is more like them than she thought, and the egomaniacal CEO who gives them all a motivational speech in biking lycra. Episodes 1, 2, and 5 are hysterical. The others have their merits. Another crazy BBC quirk? The next season doesn't start until 2007.

|Lady Cats keep playoff hopes alive with win over T-High
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Jan. 24, 2007 - In a do-or-die game on Tuesday, the Sulphur Springs Lady Cats did it.
Faced with having to beat Texas High to keep their realistic playoff hopes alive, the Lady Cats started strong and finished with a flurry to take a 51-43 victory at Wildcat Gym.
Sulphur Springs, 19-8 overall and winners of the last three, is now tied with Texas High (12-8) for third place in District 11-4A with 3-3 records.
The Lady Cats shot straight from the free throw line, making 19-of-20 in the game and 13-of-14 in the fourth quarter including 9-of-10 by sophomore guard Mackenzie Cross over the final 96 seconds.
Cross finished with 11 points, four rebounds and three assists, and junior post Starkeisha Wright added a double-double of 12 points and 10 boards. Junior Stephanie Conley contributed eight points and nine boards and guard Jessica Savage added eight points.
The victory avenged a 43-point loss the Lady Cats suffered to Texas High in the district opener. In that game, the Lady Tigers hit 52 percent of their shots from the field.
On Tuesday, the Lady Tigers never found their mark. They managed to shoot just 20 percent (14-of-71) including a meager 6 percent (2-of-31) from beyond the 3-point arc.
"They crushed us at their place, and they always come out to play in their home gym," said SSHS head coach Tina Carrillo. " We could have taken that loss and chalked it up to another loss and let it take the wind out of our sails, but we didn't do that.
"We fought back and we scratched and clawed for every bucket we had to have. That's typical of our team. When we need the baskets, somebody steps up - that's the how the last few games have gone."
The Lady Cats had as much as a 12-point lead in the first period and after falling behind briefly in the third period, held a 38-29 advantage with 3:52 left in the game. The Lady Cats started the fourth quarter with seven straight points on a 15-foot jumper by Wright, a 3-pointer from Savage and a pair of free throws by Cresha Hubbard after she gathered in an offensive rebound.
But, Texas High - which missed its first eight shots of the period - came back with a six-point run started by Miracle Thurston, who finished with 14 points, 16 rebounds and six steals. That cut the SSHS advantage to 38-34.
That's when Sulphur Springs' free throw accuracy started to pay off.
Following a fast break bucket by Conley to stop the Lady Tiger run, SSHS sophomore Kayle Askins made a pair of free throws with 2:27 remaining that put the Lady Cats back up by eight points.
Texas High scored five straight points, but Cross then hit 9-of-10 charity shots to close out the game and Conley came up with a pair of big defensive rebounds in the final 43 seconds.
"We've had games like this that we've given up because we haven't taken care of the ball, because we haven't handled the pressure, because we didn't make our free throws down the stretch," Carrillo related. "But, tonight wasn't one of those games. We had our focus, we were calm under pressure, we let go of our mistakes, and that's the sign of mental toughness."
The Lady Cats made sure they weren't going to fall victim to another blowout by coming out strong in the first period. They went on an 11-1 run over a four-minute span that ballooned a two-point lead into a 17-5 advantage.
The run started with senior Emily Bouyear hitting a 3-pointer and Conley sinking two quick baskets, one on a putback and another off an inbound pass from Bouyear, who had five points and three assists.
The run ended with freshman Stefanie Pruitt's 3-pointer staking SSHS to a 20-9 first-quarter advantage.
The momentum they managed to capture in the first period faded in the second when they were shut out on 0-for-7 shooting with seven turnovers. Texas High, meanwhile, pulled to within 20-18 at halftime.
However, Texas High's inaccuracy was still showing with an 0-for-14 mark on 3-point shots in the first half.
In the third quarter, the Lady Tigers took a 29-28 lead with 1:32 to play on a low post bucket by LaShae Harris, but Savage ripped a 3-pointer with 24 seconds left in the quarter to stake SSHS to a lead it would hold for the remainder of the game.
Both teams pulled down 41 rebounds, and Texas High committed just eight turnovers, compared to 24 for SSHS. But, Sulphur Springs shot almost twice the percentage from the field - 38 percent to 20 percent.
Notes: The Lady Cats travel to North Lamar on Friday to take on the second-place Pantherettes. ... Texas High freshman Skylar Fields scored eight points. ... The Lady Cats lost their first three district games, but have won their last three.
Texas High 48, SSHS 36
Sulphur Springs led by as many as six points in the first period, but Texas High took a second-quarter lead and remained ahead the remainder of the game.
Erika Garrett led the team with 11 points, six rebounds and three assists, and Stevie Moore added nine points and six boards. Jamie Askins put up six points and four boards and Talea Reynolds had four points and eight rebounds.
Alyssa Burney recorded three points and five boards, and Amy Highfield hit a 3-pointer.
Texas High 30, SSHS 21
Texas High held SSHS to five first-half points to take control of the game.
Ashanti Ivery and Linsey Fouse each had six points and three steals, and Brittany Wright added four points and five boards. Daci West led the team in rebounds with nine to go with three points, and Justine Hatley scored two points and had two steals.
Brittany Woolley had two rebounds and an assist and Kayla Phillips added six rebounds.

By Brian Winter, USA TODAY
Utility companies, refineries and factories may have to spend up to $90 billion to meet new smog standards proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday, a cost they say is too high in the current economy.
The EPA said those costs will be offset by up to $100 billion in savings in health care as people breathe cleaner air, resulting in fewer cases of asthma, bronchitis and other smog-related symptoms.
"EPA is stepping up to protect Americans from one of the most persistent and widespread pollutants we face. Smog in the air we breathe poses a very serious health threat, especially to children," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said in a statement. Smog "dirties our air, clouds our cities and drives up our health care costs across the country."
The EPA proposal would lower the permitted concentration of ground-level ozone, the main ingredient in smog, to a level of between 60 parts per billion to 70 parts per billion. The exact level will be decided by the Obama administration later this year after hearings.
The previous standard, adopted in 2008 by President George W. Bush's administration, put the limit at 75 parts per billion.
Parts of Texas, California and the northeast coast have historically struggled most with heavy smog. However, an EPA statement showed that counties in states as diverse as Indiana, Oregon and Utah would be in violation of the tougher limits if they went into effect today.
Counties and states will have up to 20 years to meet the limits or face government sanctions, most likely the loss of federal highway dollars. That could force power plants, oil producers and others to find new ways to cut emissions.
The American Petroleum Institute, which represents energy companies, said there was "no basis" for the EPA decision. In a statement, it said the change "could mean unnecessary energy cost increases, job losses and less domestic oil and natural gas development and energy security."
The "proposal, if finalized, will keep unemployment high and put another Washington-based regulation in the way of economic recovery," Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., said in a statement.
Frank O'Donnell, president of the advocacy group Clean Air Watch, said the EPA decision has "no impact on today's recession" because companies will have so much time to meet the new standards.
"Cleaning up pollution creates jobs rather than taking them away," O'Donnell said.
He also said the new rules would result in fewer premature deaths and missed days of work that can be caused by high smog levels.
"It's pretty easy to argue there's a net economic benefit to cleaning up the air," O'Donnell said.

The "Which card shall I buy" million dollar question....
I'm really sorry about this. This has probably been asked thousands of times. I've done some forum searching but obviously my skills at this are very poor because I can't find anything. I have also looked at the HCL.
I'm looking for a recommendation on a wireless adapter that can do injection and has good signal. I've seen some that can do injection but none of mine can and the ones I have seen generally have very low signal power. I've used a b43 chip and a ipw2200 both built in to the notebooks and got a lot better signal than any cheap little USB dongle I've seen that can do the injection.
Ideally, it would be nice if the HCL had an approximate rating for the signal on each adapter from a certain number of metres away but I suppose that there are too many variables to make that possible.
Anyway, does anyone have any recommendations from their own use?
The "Which card shall I buy" million dollar question....
The ALFA AWUS036H.
'Nuff said, but I'll say more..
This is the card (USB Dongle) recomended from the aircrack-ng staff themselves. It's 50-60 dollars. It's worth it. I have one right here infront of me. I love it. :P
I dunno, you really can't go wrong if you buy one of these.. Like, even if your NOT going to use it for cracking and stuff, it's a great signal booster when using your computer normally. I find open wifi anywhere I go with this baby. lol
And it brings 2 bars to 4. (out of 5) Check it out on ebay.
im currently using the hawking awug1 usb dongle and its been awesome. the signal is great injection and monitor mode and all the goodies worked out the box.
all it needs on a boot is "ifconfig rausb0 up" and your good to go. i dont know about where you live but i got mine from bestbuy for 40$
OK, thanks for the very useful answer from Acester.
No thanks for the useless one

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

OK, will do. I'll probably get the Alfa if I can find it.
Since that 27 page thread is
- very long
- hard to find (half way through the forum and didn't come up in my searches)
- in the backtrack 2 section (implying that the supported cards and how well they work is out of date for bt3)
Is there any chance of a symlink (or shadow copy or whatever it is that forums call it) from a sticky in the newbie area under an obvious title such as "* WHICH WIRELESS ADAPTER TO USE *" and maybe later updated for any changes in BT3 and collated into a few posts rather than 27 pages?
Also, the wireless HCL seems to be quite dated but I don't know enough about backtrack or most of these cards to make any changes. I know that some of these are probably using ndiswrapper when they no longer have to and I know that some of the bcm43xx cards could use b43, for example. I don't know how that would affect their performance or functionality. My "Dell 1390" wireless under Debian x64 was significantly improved by switching to b43 though.

Precious metals withstand a beating in Thruway accident.
A truck loaded with silver and gold rolls over Monday morning on the Thruway.
A government contractor was transporting large mechanical filter-like cores that are used in military aircraft when he rolled his U-Haul onto its side at mile marker 417 of I-90 eastbound.
When troopers arrived the driver (who was not injured) told them his cargo was made up of about 2 million dollars worth of gold and silver.Troopers secured the scene and then arranged for an armored vehicle to offload the precious metals.
The cause of the accident is under investigation. No other vehicles were involved.

Hasler faces dogfight learning to win without brilliant BarbaPhil Gould
Published: March 6 2013 - 12:51AMFrom Ben Barba to Russell Crowe and Dave Smith to Sonny Bill Williams, Phil Gould casts his eye over the big issues with just a day until the NRL season opener.
1. How much will the absence of Ben Barba affect the Bulldogs' attacking game?
This will be one of the big talking points of the weekend. Last year, Canterbury coach Des Hasler introduced a new style of play, using his big forwards like playmakers, allowing his halves to play out on the fringes of the field. All this was designed to ignite Barba's talents at No.1, whose brilliant attacking play lifted the Bulldogs to the grand final. Melbourne's defence closed Barba down on the big stage and the Bulldogs managed only one try. It was a case of no Barba, no Dogs. Now he's missing indefinitely. Can the Bulldogs win without him?2. Pathways review a must for rugby league in this country.
The appointment of Jim Doyle, former boss of the NZRL, to conduct a study of the development pathways and competitions in rugby league is vital to the future of our game. The shrinking profile of the old reserve-grade competition, which is now conducted as the NSW and QLD state cups, has adverse effects on both the development of the long-term athlete and the cost of developing young players through to NRL standard. Young players and player managers need to learn that the next step from the under-20s is not the NRL. They should all have to come through the state cups before playing in the top grade.3. Dave Smith has the smarts.
New NRL boss Dave Smith has not been recruited because of his knowledge of the game or the people who play it. He has been recruited because of his business smarts and ability to relate to corporate Australia and all levels of government. These attributes have been seriously lacking in the NRL since John Quayle left the game back in the 1990s. I suggest Dave Smith is just the man to give the NRL the giant shake-up it has needed for a long time. Forget the Benji/Benny slip of the tongue. Wait until our new leader really starts to talk. This bloke is right on the money.4. Eight winners, eight losers — but there's a long way to go
Round one is now upon us and it's time for the players to show us how hard they've worked during the off-season. By next Tuesday morning, one thing is certain: we will have eight winning teams and eight losing teams — and the fan post-mortems will be on in earnest. Eight coaches will be breathing a sigh of relief. The eight losing coaches will have a week of sleepless nights hoping they don't have to wait too long to open their winning account. Remember though everyone, it's a long race. It's not where you start, but where you finish that counts. Let's get it on!5. Russell, please don't sell.
I sincerely hope Russell Crowe never sells his stake in South Sydney. I think this international superstar is so good for rugby league and it would be such a shame if he was lost to our code, let alone the Rabbitohs. I don't think the NRL has used the profile of Russell Crowe anywhere near well enough. He adds so much value and stature to our game. I totally understand Russell probably has other priorities in his life right now, but the NRL should be helping to lighten the load for him to stay involved. Please don't go, Russell. The game needs you.6. Can Sonny Bill Williams handle rugby league after such a long absence?
We all know SBW is quite the athlete. However, don't underestimate how difficult his assignment is going to be on Thursday night. If he comes back and dominates right from the start, then it will represent one of the greatest comebacks imaginable. My suspicion is that he will find the game much different to the one he left five years ago and he certainly won't get things all his own way. All eyes will be on SBW, including those of the South Sydney forward pack. They are not going to give him any latitude.

This is crispy or fluffy flat bread normally served either with dal, chicken,fish curry or just sugar. It is called roti canai in Malaysia. After mixing the dough, it must be kept preferably overnight. One must have the skill to flip the dough into layer before heating it on a flat pan or else you have to stretch the dough as thin as possible, roll into coil, flatten the dough then fry it. In Singapore it is so famous that you can have this anytime of the day with addition of egg, banana, chocolate, cheese and many more.
500g wheat flour
250-300 ml water
1 egg
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp condensed milk
3 tbsp margarine or shortening
oil or margarine for coating and frying
1. In a bowl, combine salt, condensed milk, egg and water.
2. Add flour and margarine to the water mixture.
3. Knead the dough until smooth, divide dough into 10 balls.
4. Coat each ball with margarine and let stand for at least 5 hours or overnight.
5. Spread the dough as thin as possible, roll the dough to form a coil.
6. Flatten the dough using your hand into round shape. Rest 10 minutes.
7. Fry on flat pan until both side turn golden brown, drizzle with oil as you fry.
8. Serve hot with curry or sugar.

Australia won the battles of the new balls in the first match of the finals, and the rest was inevitable.
Not even a spirited partnership between unheralded members of the Indian order could save the tourists from the ensuing debacle. Ricky Ponting's side asserted itself at the start of both innings and the Indians could not recover.
Ferocious bowling in the opening overs gave the Australians an immediate grip on the match. Finding a pitch to their liking, Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie bowled too fast, short and straight for a visiting side ready for home and low on confidence. They hurled the ball at the batsmen's bodies and maintained an onslaught that soon had the tourists reeling.
Ponting supported them with unorthodox fields, often adjusted in the middle of overs. His only mistake was to ease the pressure by allowing Andrew Symonds to bowl spin when something sharper was needed.
Gillespie's first five overs were impressive. His gypsy hair and gleaming eye brought Bill Sykes to mind and his deliveries added to the sense of menace. He took the first wicket by exploiting Virender Sehwag's weakness against balls cutting back into his ribcage. Australia had not given Sehwag anything to hit outside off-stick, and the forthright opener resembled a rhino whose horn has been blunted.
If anything, Lee was more hostile than his comrade. He bowled with vigour, forcing the batsmen to defend life and limb, which did not leave much time to think about scoring runs. After being forced back onto his stumps, Sachin Tendulkar was uprooted by a ball that scuttled like a crab along a beach. Australia had the right bowlers to make the most of any unevenness in the bounce.
Lee hardly gave the batsmen anything to drive or cut and maintained his pace till his captain sent him for a smoko. Later, he returned and promptly removed Yuvraj Singh with a delivery that cut across a bat left hanging like a towel upon a Hill's Hoist.
Among the senior batsmen only VVS Laxman seemed capable of sustained resistance. A forthright hook and several flicks off the hip reminded spectators of his work this summer, before a push off the back foot was held at point. An early finish was on the cards.
Nor did the sight of Ajit Agarkar walking to the crease dispel the impression. His batting has not commanded universal admiration.
All summer Indians have been insisting that he can bat, a position that has been maintained despite his impersonation of an Italian conductor during a lively movement. All summer Australian observers have wondered why this genial competitor is so cruelly sent out to walk the plank. It was easier to imagine him rescuing a damsel in distress than an innings.
Nothing changed in the first few minutes as Agarkar swished and swatted like a man after a mosquito. His demise appeared imminent. But he did not get out. Instead, he started to middle the ball and play some swashbuckling strokes, lifting the ball over the boundary with the free swing of a man without fear. He drove with panache, cut with elan and generally resembled one of those fellows in The Pirates of the Caribbean.
Hemang Badani lent a hand with a determined innings as the Australians lost momentum.
Accordingly, the hosts found themselves chasing a higher than expected total. Undeterred, Adam Gilchrist set about the bowling in a manner resembling helicopter blades cutting through the air.
Matthew Hayden bided his time, erupting now and then with brutal consequences but otherwise contenting himself singles.
Ponting was irresistible as he pulled and drove for an entertaining 88 off 80 balls, pushing the match to a swift conclusion.
India needed to bowl straight and did not. Accuracy was required and the pacemen were erratic. Agarkar and Lakshmipathy Balaji were popguns beside the Australian cannons. Rather than keeping a tight line and length, they tried to swing the ball and were punished.
Irfan Pathan sent down a mixed bag. Taking the ball after the horse had bolted, the spinners were ineffective.
Australia have played the liveliest cricket of the summer in the past fortnight. Lee's revival and harder pitches have helped. But Australian teams prosper when aggression is restored. It is a raw country. Clearly, Ponting has ordered a full-scale attack in these last matches and his strategy has been amply rewarded.
Meanwhile, the Indians, and especially their captain, have been ripe for the plucking. Sourav Ganguly has run out of energy and only the younger players , whose load has been lighter, have stayed the full distance. Frankly, it's hard to see anything changing in Sydney tomorrow, though the pitch will be quieter and the bowling less threatening.

A ST ROCCO'S Hospice supporter will be tackling the volcanic climb up Japan's tallest peak to help raise money for the charity.
Martin Egan will be jetting out to Tokyo in August to tackle scaling the 12,389ft high Mount Fuji after squeezing in training for the challenge after being injured in a bike accident last year.
The 56-year-old said: "I was over there three years ago just before the tsunami. I could see it from where I was living and I thought I would like to get closer to it.
"I was going to do it last year but I missed the window between June and August because there's a chance of snow otherwise."
But Martin, of Withycombe Road, Penketh, has had to delay his training while he recovers from an injury he sustained on his bike which saw him pull out of a previous fundraiser for the hospice cycling across Ireland.
He further aggravated the injury after taking part in Strictly St Rocco's in December dancing a quickstep.
"I'm looking at three months of training and I will be using Snowdon as a training route," he added. "It's like walking on the moon and it will take a couple of days to get to the top.
"There is a base on the mountain that I'll be staying at for two days.
"They give you a map which you need though it's the busiest time to climb so people from around the world will be there climbing it too.
"They say 90 per cent of accidents happen going down rather than going up."
Martin has also been helped out with donations of kit from Decathlon, on Winwick Road.
He has been a long term supporter of the hospice and will be collecting money across the town.
Martin said: "The work the hospice does is vital and they need the money."
If you would like to donate to Martin's challenge contact the hospice on 575780.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Gets The Winkelvoss Treatment In "Ringer"
"The second you take away fight sequences … let me tell you something, your days lighten up a lot. Also, the girl playing my twin sister is always on time, always hits her marks, always knows her lines, always agrees with everything I say—they're some of the easiest scenes I've ever filmed. I can't believe how far visual effects have come—it's been a while since I've been this involved. It's much faster but it's still a learning process with face replacement technology. Yet I hug my myself, I lay my head on her shoulder, there's so much you can do. I thought it would be old school Patty Duke, like [sings] "We're cousins!" It's not like that anymore."
—Sarah Michelle Gellar talks about her new show, "Ringer," in which she plays twin sisters, one who assumes the other's life. Overall, she says playing two separate people is still easier than doing Buffy the Vampire Slayer's fight scenes. [PopWrap]

Toronto filmmaker John Greyson is being feted this week with a retrospective, a DVD compilation and a new book about his feature musical Zero Patience. That all this will be hosted by the TIFF Bell Lightbox shows what good sports the festival's programmers are. After all, it was just in 2009 that Greyson yanked his film from TIFF to protest an Israeli-sponsored film series – effectively setting off an international debate about sponsors' impact on programming, and supplying the festival with an unwelcome controversy.
But it's precisely that scrappy, activist approach to filmmaking that makes Greyson worthy of celebration. The director behind such features as Urinal, Lilies and Uncut, as well as recent agit-prop music videos drawing attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has left an indelible impact on both international queer cinema and Canada's film culture.
Greyson's heady mash-up of postmodern theory, grassroots politics and street activism was perhaps best summed up by film scholar and author Thomas Waugh, who once described the filmmaker's style as "a convergence of techno-wizardry, dense allusiveness, camp anachronism, unabashed didacticism, melo narrative, heady eroticism and media collage."
For those of us who came of age while watching Greyson's career progress, a strange sense of nostalgia accompanies this retrospective. Many of his films and videos were a response to the gruelling, unforgiving AIDS crisis which, when at its worst, did feel akin to a Holocaust in the gay community. A stand-out in the retrospective is Zero Patience, Greyson's take-no-prisoners diatribe about the unthinking, unfeeling response of the media, governments and the scientific establishment to the AIDS epidemic.
A musical comedy about the epidemic and its fallout, Zero Patience represented New Queer Cinema, a cinematic movement roughly held together by fury over indifference to the AIDS epidemic and the desire to present less squeaky-clean images of gay characters, and Canada's film-funding policies.
Greyson's budget of $1.2-million would not have paid for pizza on most Hollywood movie sets, but it seemed substantial in Canada in the 1990s. And Greyson used the money for a tribute to the hard work of ACT UP-style activists as well as to bigger ideas. Zero Patience goes out of its way, for example, to remind us that we're actually watching a movie – eschewing the pitfalls of melodrama, which was then the genre of choice for representing AIDS. The film received polarized responses from critics upon its release – people either loved it or hated it – but you had to hand it to Greyson: Almost everything in this film was about taking risks. I sincerely doubt anyone could make a film like it today.
Zero Patience also speaks of an exciting time for Canadian filmmakers. The early 1990s were marked by the new industry buzz around Miramax Films and the Sundance Film Festival; suddenly, independent low-budget films with big ideas (in other words, the kind of films Canadians were brilliant at) could find coveted distribution deals and reach much larger international audiences. Films such as Zero Patience, Laurie Lynd's RSVP, Lynne Fernie's and Aerlyn Weissman's Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives, and Patricia Rozema's I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, were gaining huge international attention, effectively raising the profile of Canadian filmmakers – as well as their hopes and aspirations.
This notoriety struck Zero Patience, which toured the burgeoning alternative and queer film-festival circuit. Always present in the film was an anger that resonated around the world; Greyson was especially furious with the mainstream media for its callous and often vapid reportage on AIDS. And while he was angry with conservative forces, he singled out the liberal journalists – some of them gay – for special venom. Openly-gay journalist Randy Shilts had penned the book And the Band Played On: Politics, People and the AIDS Epidemic, which had eviscerated the Reagan Administration for its passive indifference to the onslaught of AIDS. But Greyson took issue with what he called the book's "sexy subplot" about Gaetan Dugas, a Quebecois flight attendant who Shilts' dubbed "Patient Zero," purporting this promiscuous gay man was a modern-day Typhoid Mary who had brought HIV to the western world's gay milieu.
What was wondrous about Greyson's approach to Zero Patience was the way he conveyed so much anger with such a sly sense of humour. This was years before the game-changing, protease-inhibitor drug cocktails would debut, effectively making AIDS a far more treatable disease. It's a painful time to remember. Almost as horrific as the disease itself was the response of much of the public, who seemed to be apathetic and silent or quietly pleased at what appeared to be no-fault genocide.
Looking back at Zero Patience provokes a stark, strange combination of emotions: elation that AIDS isn't the death sentence that it used to be, and wistful sadness that it's highly unlikely a film as gutsy and flat-out weird as Zero Patience could even get made today – let alone find a distributor. The days of big-screen risk-taking as flamboyant, flagrant, uncompromising and incendiary as this, it seems, are long gone.
John Greyson: Impatient runs from March 30 to April 5 at Toronto's TIFF Bell Lightbox, kicking off with a book launch and screening of Zero Patience at 6 p.m. on March 30 (complete listings at tiff.net).
Matthew Hays is a co-editor of the Queer Film Classics book series, which includes the new book Zero Patience, launching as part of the Greyson retrospective.

Customer service knowledge comes in many forms from customer self-service knowledge to agent-facing knowledge, and many formats from video, to knowledge base articles and more.
No matter where or how it's delivered, customer service and customer experience initiatives are depending more and more on that knowledge being accurate, consistent and easy to access by both agents and customers. A recent Economist Intelligent Unit (EIU) survey of more than 2,000 global consumers confirms that customers want fast and correct information above all else.
When asked which element was most important in an ideal customer experience, respondents listed a "fast response to inquiries or complaints" (47%) as their top choice. In turn, the most negative aspects of a customer experience centered around knowledge, with "slow responses to inquiries and complaints" (38%) and "inaccurate or misleading information about products" (35%) topping customer experience turn-offs.
A new 2016 Knowledge Management for Customer Service survey conducted with analyst and knowledge management authority Esteban Kolsky shows organizations are struggling with justifying greater investments in knowledge because they're not measuring its impact. Almost one-fourth (23%) of respondents said they don't currently track metrics for their customer service knowledge, which can quickly lead to reduced customer and employee satisfaction through decline in use and usefulness. The result: the inability of customers to get the answers they want in a timely fashion or at all, and employees being frustrated for not being able to deliver.
For those looking to start measuring the effectiveness of this important service foundation, here are six metrics to consider when it comes to knowledge:
1. Number of Views: This metric often shows the interest in a subject or topic, gives an idea of self-service deflection and sometimes (but not all the time) the usefulness of the knowledge content. This metric should not be used as the only measurement for customer service knowledge effectiveness.
2. Customer Rating: Your customer-facing knowledge content should incorporate a scaled rating system asking customers if the knowledge was useful to them or resolved their question or issue. Measurement should take into account both the rating level and the number of ratings.
3. Employee Rating: Customer service employees should also be able to rate the quality and effectiveness of knowledge so that if there are many knowledge content collaterals on a similar subject, they can reduce their time to respond by presenting the knowledge that has already helped agents serve the customer best.
4. First Contact or First Time Resolution (FCR or FTR): This number should increase with improved and regularly maintained knowledge management implementations, especially agent-facing knowledge.
- 5. Average Handle Time (AHT): This number should decrease with improved and regularly maintained agent-facing knowledge management initiatives.
- 6. Deflection: With effective self-service knowledge, especially self-service knowledge that can be posted, updated and delivered across channels quickly, call assisted service interaction volume (i.e., calls, emails) should decrease.
- As the cornerstone for customer service and customer experience consistency, producing and delivering knowledge for customer service is a start; testing your knowledge delivers consistent improvement.
- What customer service knowledge metrics do you measure within your organization? I'd love to hear some of the metrics you're tracking in the comments below. Thanks!
Want More Knowledge? Get the 2016 Knowledge
Management in Customer Service Report
With 89% of companies planning to compete on the basis of customer experience this year, the key that will separate leaders from laggards is the quality, accessibility and consistency of knowledge – not just across customer service agents, but across the entire organization.
Want to know where your organization stands compared to others?
Check out the results of this important global survey with an accompanying report from industry analyst Esteban Kolsky who shares insights on how to get ahead in customer service through knowledge management, how to justify a greater investment, where to invest, key success metrics, as well as next- and best-step actions to become and remain a leader in this key area.

The Thoroughbred Corp.'s Point Given, winter-book favorite for the Kentucky Derby (gr. I), drew the rail for Saturday's Santa Anita Derby (gr. I). He has been installed the even-money morning line choice for the $750,000 1 1/8 mile race that drew a field of eight 3-year-olds.Post time for the Santa Anita Derby is approximately 2:40 p.m. PDT, or 5:40 p.m. EDT.A nose shy of winning last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) and runner-up in the voting for the Eclipse Award for top 2-year-old male, Point Given won his 2001 debut last month in the San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) also at Santa Anita. Hall of Fame rider Gary Stevens will be back in the saddle on the Bob Baffert-trained colt.It's likely Point Given will go postward odds-on for the race, and if he succeeds, will the lowest-priced winner since Brocco was victorious in 1994 at 70 cents on the dollar. In the '90s, there were three odds-on winners: Brocco, A.P. Indy ('92), and Mr. Frisky ('90).Baffert said the San Felipe winner has been training well up to the race and appears ready for the challenge. "We're looking for a really good race out of him," he said. "We want to get this race out of the way so we can prepare for the Kentucky Derby."Early Flyer is expected to travel north to run in the $200,000 California Derby at Bay Meadows next weekend. The rest of the field includes I Love Silver, Crafty C.T., Startac, Scorpion, Palmiero, and Cherokee Kim.Dean Greenman, trainer of I Love Silver, who finished second to Point
Given in the San Felipe Stakes, said he expects another good showing from his colt. He admitted beating the favorite would be tough."I don't think we can knock him off," Greenman said. "If he runs the same race he did last time out, we'll be happy."The speed of the race could be Crafty C.T., a late-blooming colt who scored a wire-to-wire win in the San Rafael Stakes last month. Trainer Howard Zucker has shied away from saying his horse would be pointed to the Kentucky Derby, but he hasn't ruled it out completely.
"This horse is a kid among men," Zucker said. "I can give you a better answer on Sunday. We just don't want to go to the well too early."Seven horses, or 11.1% of those breaking from the rail, have won the Santa Anita Derby in its previous 63 runnings. Twenty-seven favorites, or 43.5%, have also won Southern California's top Kentucky Derby prep race.A win for Baffert would tie him with trainer D. Wayne Lukas for most wins in the race with four winners. Baffert's other Santa Anita Derby winners were Cavonnier ('96), Indian Charlie ('98), and General Challenge ('99). Lukas will be reprented in this year's race by Scorpion.The field for the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby (gr. I). 1 1/8 miles

|Protein + Lactose = Normal Development
Low protein + High Lactose = Autism
But protein malnutrition does not equal autism nor does lactose feeding equal autism. However,
Protein malnutrition + high-lactose feeding + (the unknown factor) = Autism
There has to be an unknown factor for this to occur, a combination of things that all relate to one another. The unknown factor can be found by testing these three variables. We have to review other information that we have on children with autism to give us the correct answer to the unknown factor.
A low-protein diet offsets a nitrogen balance to detoxify ammonia, whereas lactose feeding ferments bacteria. The only variable that could account for the unknown factor is ammonia. In autism, there are signs of ammonia detoxification, for example when GABA and nitric oxide are increased. So instead of developing overt ammonia toxicity, they are able to detoxify this excess ammonia. As encouraging as this sounds it still depletes cellular energy. Many parents can recall 'staring spells' as the first behavioral change in a child prior to autistic regression. This can be the first sign of increased blood ammonia.

In a nutshell, I will just keep trying to figure out what triggers the problems on travelling. I am open to suggestions and ideas on this as I do try to be very careful.

Fermented foods contain many times more probiotics than supplements and it's thought that ingesting the probiotics with their natural growth medium carries them into and colonizes the gut more effectively.
There's a Yahoo group, BEDROK for the Body Ecology diet and parents of ASD kids.
Lala, if you have mercury fillings and you ate a ton of tuna while pregnant, I really do think that could be a factor. Are you considering seeing a DAN doctor for mercury chelation?
I am very interested in this because I'm having my fillings replaced by a holistic dentist who works with ASD kids as well. My son, when his digestion was quite bad, exhibited some of these behaviors as well. And think our yeast issues have been (among other things) caused by mercury, as I have a number of fillings and they are old and chipped. Mercury in the body acts like an antibiotic, killing the good bacteria and causing yeast to grow as a protective measure.
It's hard to test "mercury poisoning" with accuracy though, I don't know what the DAN protocols are for testing. Dr. Rashid Buttar, who cured his son of autism through mercury chelation, has said that his son didn't start testing high until they began chelation and the metals started coming out of his son's body.
My understanding about the problems with vaccines and ASD is that it's not only the mercury thimerosal that is the problem, but the fact that you are injecting toxins into the bloodstream of an immunocompromised kid (most of your immune system is in the gut). So thimerosal free vax's might not be better depending on the child, but only "less bad".

Lately she has had poops that would make a poop expert proud - just perfect.
She is a huge candida sufferer. After six months on Nystatin and Threelac I just gave her the first dose of Diflucan over the next 14 days- she will stay on on threelac the whole time and change to Nystatin for the following 90 days. the yeast just loves her gut and we have jumped hell and high water to try and kill it. I am sort of remotely hoping that once it's killed off, IF it's killed off, she will gain some non-autistic skills. Her body flailing is the hardest part right now. Also her speech just won't catch up to where she needs to be to fit in with her peers.
|Parents describe a grainy substance within it, and I will not retire from pediatric GI until I've found out what that substance is, because all these kids seem to have it. No matter what diet they're on or what supplements they're on, something is going on that makes that particular matter appear in the stool.

filter-feeding shrimp
dwarf shrimp
paleaomonetes shrimp
Given the proper environment and numbers, paleaomonetes should breed readily. You will need to provide sexed pairings, ideal water parameters, and above all, an isolated environment for the pregnant female. Once hatched, feed the babies rotifers, newly hatched brine shrimp, or a suitable liquid food. If left alone with aggressive larger fish, the baby paleaomonetes will end up as food.
Shrimp are hardy but can be very susceptible to changes in water quality. Uneaten food can result in unbalanced water parameters, which are often fatal to freshwater shrimp. All shrimp are sensitive to fluctuations in water parameters, so stable water quality is important to their health. Monitor water quality and have conditioners on hand to balance any spikes or irregularities.

Brad Pitt Will 'Stomp' Vitalii Sediuk If He Goes For Another Lady's Crotch
Last week, Brad Pitt was reportedly punched in the face by Ukrainian comedian Vitalii Sediuk whose schtick is usually burying his face in celebrity crotches on the red carpet. Which, according to Brad Pitt, is what actually happened until he was the one who punched. /heisenberg People reports:
"I was at the end of the line signing autographs, when out the corner of my eye I saw someone stage-diving over the barrier at me. I took a step back; this guy had latched onto my lapels. I looked down and the nutter was trying to bury his face in my crotch, so I cracked him twice in the back of the head – not too hard – but enough to get his attention , because he did let go. I think he was then just grabbing for a hand hold because the guys were on him, and he reached up and caught my glasses."
"I don't mind an exhibitionist," Pitt continues, "but if this guy keeps it up he's going to spoil it for the fans who have waited up all night for an autograph or a selfie, because it will make people more wary to approach a crowd. And he should know, if he tries to look up a woman's dress again, he's going to get stomped."
"Look, I don't like violence, but if some wacko's out there trying to shove his face up a woman's- ohmygod, is that Matty Mc?! How's my beard? Does my beard look okay? Okay, shh, shh, pretend like we didn't see him. Hey, Matt, how are you? What's up? We were just over here talking about that dude who puts his face in people's crotch. I mean, who even likes that right? Haha! Random guy putting his face all over another guy's dick. Totally weird, right? That's something friends do. Best beer friends. Ah, look at you laughing like you don't know what I'm talking about. Get in here for a hug." – Brad Pitt, Justice Stomper
