This happned in a neighboring county, Made all the local news
casts It was A penned up 9 pointer He evidently turned his back
and the deer gored him . A Few years ago I mounted A big 8 pointer
for A man.knew it had too much greasy fat in it. His friend later told meit was a "pet" that ran loose in his yard. It attacked him
He crawled under his truck . The buck then attacked his truck I noted green paint on the antlers. His Father shot the buck.Bill Yox,
George Roof,and any others who keep Deer ,be very cautious around
your bucks.I am sure you do. but it would only take one mistake.A
good taxidermist is hard to find.

You can bet Bill and I don't trust those suckers. We've laughed about it often, but it's in that vein of not being anything funny. "Willow" tried to get me once. He was fighting the cyclone fence when his antlers became entangled. Since I couldn't free him from inside, I made the mistake of going into the pen. I took a 2x4 to pry him loose and it saved my life I'm sure. When I pried the wire off his antlers, he ran a short distance away. I turned to close the hole in the wire when I heard him "snuffle". As I turned, he was coming toward me with his antlers down. I hit him between the "horns" with the 2x4 and he stumbled back. He looked up with glazed eyes and came at me hard then. I hit him as hard as I could in the same spot and he went to his knees. I then started backing out of the pen. He regained his senses just as I got to the shed door. He charged, and as I bolted the door, splinters flew all over the inside of the shed as he hit the door. The bolt held and I got out safely. That was 10 years ago, and to this day, he recognizes me when I'm 100 yards away and starts that bristling, stiff legged act of his. Now when he casts his antlers, he's like a big dog who wants apples from your hands and loves to have his ears scratched from behind. Once he shed that velvet, however, he's a true monster just waiting to kill me. If ANY of you is considering a deer for a pet, PLEASE, PLEASE listen to what Billy has said and be very careful. Even a doe can get cantankerous and she can stand on her back hooves and crack your skull if you piss her off. Be careful out there.
We sedate and saw the antlers off all our deer about the second week in September after the velvet has shed. A buck can simply play with you and rupture your spleen. Dead is dead whether he was aggressive or not.
One for the buck, 3,333,267,99,27 for the hunters.
hey george you guys keep deer?
how much thy cost appiece?
is it hard to do? do you sell them? just curious theyre are deer ranchers and elk ranchers here im wondering ifyou guys sell their antlers like they do. PS and leonel what do you mean bye you comment i cant quite get it are you an peta dude o r something?
Pet Deer Kills Man
Grandson Discovers Body, Shoots Deer
February 27, 2003
GILBERTOWN, Ala. -- An elderly man was killed Monday when his pet deer attacked him.
The nine-point buck gored and mauled 79-year-old Donald Sellers while Sellers was working on a fence on his property Monday in the Chapel Hill community, according to Choctaw County Sheriff Don Lolley.
Sellers had raised the deer since it was a fawn and the sheriff says it often became aggressive during the rutting and mating season. He believes that might have prompted the attack.
A grandson discovered the body, then shot and killed the deer when it acted aggressively toward him.
I only have ONE and it's for a whitetail lifespan research project. That's why we stayed away from sawing horns, in fact. They are more "expensive" than they're worth, but absolutely amazing to watch and learn from. You'll have to ask Bill about the commercial aspects as he has a HERD.
Dont think for a minute that whitetails are the only aggressive deer. I have a pair of fallow deer, yup those pretty "little" spotted deer you see in petting zoos. My doe, Ellie Mae,is a sweetheart. Shes better than any dog I've ever owned. She comes when you call her,loves being loved and will even walk with me outside the pen. My buck, Jethro, on the other hand is a devil in disguise, a 225lb devil! When without antlers or when his antlers are in velvet, he's also a sweetheart. But the day that velvet is shed, WOW! What a change. All he wants to do is stick someone. I do cut his antlers off, but he still is very dangerous. Last March we had some very heavy rains and their house got flooded. I went into the pen to try to dig under the wall to let the water drain and he was on me in seconds. The only way I can discribe it was like a pit bull attack. He was relentless. Thank God he didn't have antlers or he would have killed me. It took me 40 minutes to get out of the pen, and that was to only go about 50 ft! I ended up with both knees banged up and a split lip from a kick to the face. I got real lucky that time. I will never go in with him again while he has any bone, about 1/4 in above the bur, on his head.For those of you thinking about getting a deer listen to what George said. Be very careful and think before you act. A hand raised buck is a very dangerous animal. Very capable of killing you,or getting out of the pen and killing someone else.
Bob C
It amazes me how many people go from being careless to just plain moronic when it comes to tame wild animals. Like my friends here, I learned the hard way, too, but I LEARNED! I have the scars to prove it, as do these other guys. In fact, most of us are too ashamed to brag about them. There are times when it seems like you MUST take chances in certain situations. But releasing hand raised bucks is stupid. I remember when BobC got beat up by his fallow deer. It was like night and day how that buck changed, and Bobby knows how they are. I have even had trouble with deer we thought were sedated properly. Im gonna assure you all that cutting off the antlers does nothing to prevent injuries, other then limiting the DEPTH of the hole, lol! Ive had them hit me through the fence when I got careless near a longer stretch between poles too. I go to great lengths to make sure that stuff wont happen again, I can tell ya! That includes making sure the fence is sound, to protect my family from any possible escaping bucks. Ive been bit by "tame" bears, bobcats, coons, fox, skunks, squirrels, etc, but deer scare me the most. You watch a 300 lb buck stretch 30 foot of fence out 3 feet past center and watch solid telephone pole posts move, and youll know...These things arent good pets, to be sure...
SEnd me his head...I'll fixem fur ya...hah.
Thanks for your thought, Billy Brock.
Get him Willow!
I went to this site just seeing if you can tame a deer. I want one to be like a dog, living in side and litter training it. I guess that would be a bad idea huh. But they are sooo.. cute. Is there any dwarf deer that can be house trained and act fine around kids?
Hi, I live in rural southeastern Ohio. While walking in a hay field near the woods with my dogs today I heard a deer snort--no big deal. Then it snorted (wheezed?) again and again and again and just kept snorting. I couldn't see it, but it was coming toward me not moving away. I took off running since that did not seem right to me, heading for an old barn. The dogs and I ran into the barn and I could hear that deer was still on our tail and still snorting. The deer kept on snorting repeatedly while it circled around the barn for about fifteen minutes (I had my watch on). Then it just snorted once in awhile for another fifteen minutes. We stayed in the barn for another hour, too scared to leave. I never got a good look at the deer, just saw parts of it. Is this normal behavior for any deer in early June? Am I right to think this thing wanted to really hurt me? This really scared me!

Morris Fire Department adds thermal imaging cameras
MORRIS – The Morris Fire Department has purchased three new thermal imaging cameras to help with search and rescue operations and to keep firefighters safe in burning buildings.
Fire Chief Dave Dybdahl said most small departments are lucky to have a single camera.
With the addition of the three new cameras, all four of the department's front line vehicles – two engines, a ladder truck, and the heavy rescue vehicle – will be equipped with thermal imagers.
Assistant Chief Matt Solemsaas said the thermal imaging cameras can be used when firefighters go into a building after a fire is extinguished to check for hot spots.
The cameras were purchased with money from the city of Morris and a donation from Carhill.

"One of my friends was wearing a pair of Ecco pearl slip-ons that I really liked. She and I share the same foot size and width so she slipped them off and let me wear them. They were so comfortable and looked great, so I thought I would order a pair of my own. She asked for a pair of my loafers and put them on saying I could wear the Eccos until I got mine in the mail. When they arrived I gave her the new ones and kept the "loaners" as they felt so wonderful. Ecco surely knows how to make feet say "thank you". These are without a doubt the most comfortable and stylish loafers I have ever owned! I just love the cute little heel that sets them apart from everyday run of the mill loafers. I only wish they were available in other colors as I would love to have more of them. I have had many questions about them along with many wonderful compliments . Many men have stated they thought they were very "cute" and I really looked good in them!"

The Sounders FC have teamed up with defender Tyrone Marshall in an effort to support Marcia Williams' battle with cancer. Marshall and some of his teammates will host the Sounders FC Bone Marrow Drive at The Qwest Field Plaza, located on the west side of stadium parallel to Occidental Avenue South, on Aug. 18 from 4-7 p.m.
Marcia (pronounced Mar-cee-ah) is the wife of Real Salt Lake's Andy Williams, a close friend of Tyrone.
"I've known Marcia, Andy's wife, since Miami in 2000/2001, so we have gone back awhile. It's a tough feeling to know someone that close who is struggling with a life-threatening illness," said Marshall.
Fans ages 18-60 and in good health can help by attending the drive on Aug.18 and joining the National Bone Marrow Registry, a very quick and easy process.
"A lot of people think they are going to be stuck by a needle, however it is just a little swab in your mouth and it is easy. In addition to filling out some paperwork, the cheek swab won't take more than two or three minutes. "
Patients are more likely to find a compatible donor within their own racial and ethnic background, which is why Puget Sound Blood Center is requesting a diverse group of donors. Currently the national registry for bone marrow is 75% Caucasian. Currently, 10,000 patients need a bone marrow transplant, but only 3,000 will receive one.
The cost of adding a donor to the registery is approximatley $100. Although not mandatory, donations will be accepted at the drive.
For information on Marcia's fight visit soccerunitesutah.com and for information on joining the National Bone Marrow Registry visit www.psbc.org.
Complimentary parking will be available in the north parking lot.

Low Level PvP/Rift Gear Guide
In this guide we will go over how to get a great set of gear that you can acquire through the 10-20 level range. Some of the gear will still be usable into your early 20's as well. Using the pieces of gear covered in this guide, coupled with crafted gear for the slots we don't cover, will put your character at a pretty good advantage over the competition. We will go over what merchants sell the gear, how to get it, and what order we recommend buying the gear.
The Gear
The gear pieces you will receive from this guide are as follows (in no particular order):
- Blue quality weapon : 2h = 75 Planarite, 1h = 50 Planarite
- Blue quality chest piece : 50 Planarite
- Blue quality PvP gloves : 514 Favor
- Blue quality PvP boots : 514 Favor
- Purple quality leggings : 100 Planarite + 1 Corrupted Sourcestone
- Planar Focus/Essence : 30 Planarite, 100 Planarite / 25 Planarite, 50 Planarite + 1 Corrupted Sourcestone
The rest of the gear slots will be best filled with crafted gear or the best you can get from quests or drops. The weapon, chest piece, leggings, and Planar Focus/Essence will come from doing rifts and invasions. The boots and gloves are purchased with "Favor", which is your PvP currency.
How to get the gear
- The first thing you want to do as you hit the level 10 range, is rifts rifts rifts. Do rifts and invasion events until you accumulate enough Planarite for the blue quality weapon. Buy the 2h weapon from "Rare Planar Goods" merchant for 75 Planarite or the 1h weapon for 50 Planarite.
- Next, start doing warfronts. In between warfronts continue to do rifts and invasions. It should not take very long to save up enough Favor for the blue quality PvP boots and gloves. Once you have >1028 Favor, go buy your PvP boots and gloves from the "PvP Goods" merchant.
- Hopefully you now have (close to) enough Planarite for the blue quality chest piece. Gather your 75 Planarite and head to the "Rare Planar Goods" merchant to buy the chest piece.
- Last, you will be saving up Planarite and a single Corrupted Sourcestone for your purple quality leggings. By now you should have at least one of these stones, if not, keep running rifts and invasions. Gather your 100 Planarite + 1 Corrupted Sourcestone and head to the "Rare Planar Goods" merchant to buy the leggings.
- Extra: Again, save up your rift currency until you have enough to purchase an upgraded Planar Focus. Fill your Planar Focus with upgraded Planar Essences. These will cost you 30 Planarite for the basic Focus and 25 Planarite for each Essence. The advanced Focus will cost you 100 Planarite and then 1 Corrupted Sourcestone and 50 Planarite for each Essence.
Where to get the gear
See the below maps for both Guardian and Defiant factions NPC locations. There is only one image of gear stats since both sides use the same exact gear. Please note that the item costs in the images are out of date, refer to the above for accurate costs!
Rare Planar Goods merchant
PvP Goods merchant
Planar Focus/Essence
The "Planar Goods" merchant (right next to "Rare Planar Goods") also sells upgraded Planar Focuses, while the rare merchant sells the upgraded Planar Essences. What you choose basically depends on how much rift currency you have or want to collect by doing rifts. Basic idea is, get an upgraded Planar Focus and collect enough rift currency to fill up the Planar Focus.
Hopefully this guide has helped in getting your character geared up for the lower levels. Let us know if something is not accurate of if we can make this guide better.

Report: Cowboys to lose $10 million in cap space after front-loading contracts
Front-loading contracts during the uncapped 2010 season has reportedly cost the Cowboys.
As a penalty, the Dallas franchise will lose $10 million in cap space over the next two seasons, according to a Monday report by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The division rival Washington Redskins were also guilty of the same move, costing Washington $36 million against the cap in 2012 and 2013.
"All that money goes to 28 other teams -- $1.6 million each -- except for Saints and Raiders, who don't get any but don't lose any," Schefter tweeted.
The 2012 salary cap will reportedly be $120.6 million.
Schefter wrote: "According to sources, the Cowboys and Redskins took immediate cap hits during the 2010 season that normally would have been spread out over the length of the contracts, giving them an advantage that other NFL owners found unfair."
ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio wrote Monday that sources with knowledge of the situation, informed teams "at least six times" during ownership-level meetings that there would be "serious consequences" for any team that used the uncapped year for "systematic dumping" of salaries.
Florio also suggested that the Redskins may have finalized their trade with the Rams last week, anticipating that St. Louis would have wanted more for the second overall pick after the announcement of a $36 million salary cap hit.
The Redskins are expected to draft Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III with that pick. It was first reported last Friday that Washington sent three first-round picks and a second-round selection to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for the No. 2 overall pick in April's draft.

A familiar face to Texas Tech fans but a new one to Tech baseball hit the field Monday as the Red Raiders held their first two practices in preparation for the 2000 season.
Freshman Shaud Williams, who made a big debut on the football field last fall, appeared for the first time on the diamond for coach Larry Hays. Being the next two-sport Tech athlete, after all, was part of the deal that brought him to Lubbock after a standout high school career at Andrews.
But like anyone who hadn't picked up a baseball since last spring, then went through the punishment of a college football season, Williams admitted he was rusty.
"It's going to take me a couple days to get back into the swing of things but I'll be all right," Williams said after Monday's morning practice at the Athletic Training Center. "During the Christmas break I just sat around, worked out some and just rested my body and I think that's helped out a great deal. My body held up really good and I'm ready to go."
Just as in summer football workouts, Williams must learn the offensive and defensive styles of the Red Raiders. In football, however, he had all summer to learn. In baseball, he's got less than three weeks before the Red Raiders' season opener at UT-Pan American.
Hays, however, liked what he saw from Williams, who turned down a contract offer from Atlanta after the Braves chose him in the 14th round of this summer's major league draft.
He immediately made an impact on the football field, subbing for injured starter Ricky Williams and giving Tech another running threat. Shaud Williams finished the year with 658 yards rushing and seven touchdowns despite a nagging turf toe injury and missing the final game of the season against Oklahoma with an injured knee.
If Williams can do in baseball what he did in football, Tech's middle defense will be solidified even more. At Andrews he played shortstop but in Monday practices was working at both short and second base, getting special fielding instructions along the way from Larry Hays and hitting instruction from batting coach Daren Hays.
"He just hasn't learned the team things," Larry Hays said, "such as our rundown rules, bunt defense, things like that. All of our plays are really simple and he's picking them up really quick. He looked like he'd been out there before."
Williams, of course, isn't the first Tech athlete to give football and baseball a try. Outfielder Donald Harris played two years for Tech (1988-89) and was a first-round pick by the Texas Rangers in the 1989 draft.
Hays said Williams has all the tools to pull this off.
"It's tough for a guy to do both, but I think he's the kind of guy that can do it," Hays said. "We've had several guys do it over the years. With his background and his interest and his love of the game, hopefully, this will work."
And not even a successful freshman season on the gridiron was enough to keep him off the diamond.
"That was the deal that got me to come to Tech," Williams said of trying two sports. "I'm going to go ahead and give it a try, there's nothing wrong with giving it a try. We'll stick around and see what happens."BYLINE1:OF NOTE: Shortstop Lance Woodcock, one of the returning starters going into this season, missed Monday's workouts while finishing up some correspondence courses in California. He is expected to join the team later this week, possibly as early as today.

The Holly Farm
Carmel, California 93924
Phone: 831/625-1926
We'd love it if you would mention that you found The Holly Farm on the Here Comes The Guide website.
Video by Reel Eyes Media.
Why We Like This Place
Here's a gem of a location that offers something rare—not only exclusive use, but the ability to house up to 24 of your event guests from two to six days. Doyle and Mary Moses, The Holly Farm's owners, have fashioned their chic tropical hideaway in Carmel with destination weddings in mind, so you can treat your closest friends and family to a fun-filled getaway in a lush fantasy world of comfort and ease.
First established over 100 years ago, The Holly Farm is a private six-and-a-half-acre estate located in a sunny inland valley only five miles from the coast. The property contains the last holly "farm" in the state: 49 enormous holly trees that flank both sides of the entrance drive to the property. Doyle, himself a noted artist, expanded the original 4-bedroom, 3-bath adobe hacienda, and now it could easily grace the pages of Architectural Digest. Inside you'll find a pleasing mix of California-style architecture and contemporary furnishings; walls are a warm apricot, floors are oak and Mexican tile. Guests can mingle in front of the fireplace in the spacious, fully stocked kitchen, and then sit down for a rehearsal dinner or other intimate gathering in the sun-filled sunken dining room. The living room is kept cozy by a second fireplace, and there's a beautiful view of the Santa Lucia Mountains beyond the private fountain patio.
At the end of a nearby garden path lies the Banana Cabana. This whimsical redwood bungalow features "island wild" décor, with bamboo curtains, futons, murals, eclectic artifacts and a wraparound redwood deck. The newlyweds can lounge by the Carmel flagstone fireplace or enjoy a massage in the Paraiso Suite, sheltered from the rest of the grounds by a low vine-covered adobe wall. This exotic getaway has a king-size bed, a private bath and dressing room, and a rustic service area for champagne and strawberries: In other words, it's the perfect wedding night and mini-moon retreat!
Outdoors, the romance continues in the picturesque and colorful landscape. The Holly Farm's immaculately tended tropical gardens are complemented by hundreds of sweetly scented blossoms spilling over flowerbeds and pots; a koi pond and sparkling waterfall next to a majestic oak tree make a lovely setting for photos, ceremonies and receptions of up to 200 guests. A sweeping lawn with a classic farm windmill is perfect for larger weddings, while al fresco receptions in the Carriage House enjoy an impressive stone bar and an entertainment space for cocktails and dancing. The estate has a versatile layout, with numerous enchanting alcoves to explore.
To top it all off, The Holly Farm also has a talented chef who insists on using only the finest ingredients, including organic produce. The Moses family is passionate about food, and loves to create artfully presented dishes inspired by your personal favorites—whether they're gourmet vegan or hearty barbecue fare.
Up to 24 guests may actually lodge at The Holly Farm, but others staying nearby can still attend the wedding, the reception, Garden Brunch or an afternoon game of bocce ball. Past guests have dubbed this unique experience a "Wedding-Moon," so relaaax, and turn over all the details to The Holly Farm's expert and devoted care. We've sampled their hospitality firsthand, and can't decide what we enjoyed most—the delicious offerings the chef brought to our doorstep or being lulled to sleep by the tranquil melody of splashing fountains.
The staff here will lavish you with personal attention, and can arrange for the cream of local vendors to assist at your event. Their reputation for quiet efficiency and fine taste has earned them the patronage of an elite clientele. You, too, can join the privileged when you "slow down and settle in" at the delightful Holly Farm.

Three separate killings occurred in Prince George's County, Md., early Tuesday morning.
The first incident happened shortly after midnight. Officers responded to a report of gunshots in the 3900 block of Bexley Place in Suitland. Investigators discovered an unresponsive man suffering from gunshot wounds. He later died.
Two more shootings occurred several hours later in Fort Washington.
A man, also unresponsive, was found on the 7200 block of Crafford Place at about 2:30 a.m. The man died of his injuries.
Police discovered a third shooting victim, who was already dead when they arrived. The body was found at the intersection of Tucker and Palmer roads.
Prince George's County authorities reported that all three cases are being investigated as homicides, but they do not believe the killings are linked.
On Monday morning, a woman's body was found by the road side in Fort Washington along Route 210. The victim has yet to be identified. Police believe she was the victim of a hit-and-run.

On April 10, 2010, 10 opposition parties in Cameroon along with 10 nongovernmental organizations demanded the dissolution of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) that had overall charge of the 2011 presidential election. They claimed that the IEC's appointees were too closely tied to Pres. Paul Biya's ruling party.
Cameroon's ongoing anticorruption campaign targeted a group of high-ranking civil servants, who were arrested on January 5 and accused of having misappropriated large amounts of government funds. Two journalists were detained on February 5 by agents of the security service and apparently questioned about the publication of reports based on a leaked memo detailing the purchase of a yacht by the chairman of the state-owned oil corporation. On August 13 it was announced that 40 officials of the Department of Agriculture were to be charged with having embezzled €1 million (about $1.3 million) in subsidies meant for small farmers in the production of corn (maize), the country's main staple.
On May 18 President Biya, speaking before a conference of UN and African Union officials, demanded that at least one permanent seat on the Security Council be granted to Africa. On August 11, Environment Minister Pierre Hélé accused European countries of treating Africa "like a garbage can," citing evidence that toxic material had been dumped by a ship off the west coast of Africa. In September the worst cholera epidemic in 20 years prompted the government to launch a UN-sponsored program to provide 1.6 million schoolchildren with information on control of the disease.
A Nigerian group calling itself the Africa Marine Commando kidnapped seven Chinese fishermen off the coast of the Bakassi Peninsula on March 12. Following meetings with Chinese and Cameroonian diplomats, they were released five days later. The army stationed a rapid response battalion to prevent further incidents.
Dozens of elephants left the Dja Faunal Reserve in April, causing considerable damage to surrounding villages. Wildlife officials blamed local poachers for having triggered the herd's escape.

Health Care Reform Isn't Entitlement Reform
April 27, 2012
In February 2009, as the Obama administration was beginning to make its pitch for a major health care overhaul, then-White House budget director Peter Orszag said, "The path of fiscal responsibility [and entitlement reform] must run directly through health care." A little more than a year later, the law that would become known as ObamaCare passed, says Peter Suderman, a senior editor at Reason Magazine.
So how is Medicare, the nation's biggest health care entitlement, doing now? Not so well.
- Two years after the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the program's trustees are reporting that the seniors' health program is on a glide path to insolvency -- perhaps by as soon as 2016.
- The technocratic reforms that were supposed to remake the program aren't working nearly as well as hoped, and there are already signs that the Medicare spending reductions called for by the health care law will be delayed or undercut just as many critics warned.
In addition, the latest report from the program's trustees paints a bleak picture.
- By 2024, current projections indicate, the trust fund will be empty, and the program, relying solely on existing revenues, will be unable to pay all of its bills.
- In its first year of insolvency, the program will be able to finance just 87 percent of its obligations, a percentage that will decline further over time.
All this assumes that the law's Medicare savings will actually pay off. Yet that is no sure thing either. Those projected savings are based in large part on targeted payment cuts to health industry players and providers. Those cuts, however, are already facing heavy opposition, and the White House has already backed down at least once.
The Obama administration gave us health care reform. But America's entitlement system is now more in need of real reform than ever before.

Three-year-old Wisconsin girl excels in combine drills
If the disappointing drills run by Vontaze Burfict, Cliff Harris and Courtney Upshaw at this year's scouting combine left you with a hollow feeling, we hope that this video will allow you to re-affirm your love of the pre-draft process. Our scouting eyes are all agog, because this kid is a real tiger.
National Football League, we would like to introduce you to 3 1/2-year-old Grace Trautner from Wisconsin. She's a Packers fan, of course, and her father, Duane, filled us in on the rest of the scouting portfolio. First, we're encouraged that she's got some old-school Ditka-style in her NFL preferences.
[Michael Silver: NFL needs to make the scouting combine more accessible]
"This started with Grace calling [the players at the combine] with long hair or earrings girls," Duane said. "Then, she just joined in on the fun."
So, was this just a kid mirroring what she saw on television? No way. Grace is a hardcore fan, and according to Duane, "She is NOT happy that it's over and can't wait for training camp to start. And yes, she will be in Green Bay to take it in."
Good call. We see some Clay Matthews here, both in hair length and nascent pass-rush ability. And that burst at the end of the drill? If she starts on the 40-yard dashes, she might be able to just run out of the building, Deion Sanders-style. You can see in the video that Grace has already foregone her kindergarten eligibility and committed to the 2013 scouting combine -- the rest of you prospects out there had best be eating your Wheaties if you want to match up.
[Related: World's strongest kids, ages 5 and 7, wow the Web]
Duane also told us that Grace's 7-year-old sister is getting in on the action, though there's no footage just yet. Get on that, Duane! "Thank God I didn't have boys," Duane told us. "These little girls do enough damage."
Indeed. Based on our analysis, Grace outdid Burfict in every drill, and if she can draw up a zone blitz, the Shutdown Corner Selection Committee is giving her a first-round grade.

Now its behind bullet proof glass because of some nut shooting it several years ago. I was surprised at how small it is. The rest of the basilica pales in comparison to its magnificent beauty.
Carol, I saw this in New York City in 1964 (I think). You could walk within 10 feet of it. It was the most beautiful sculpture I have EVER seen and it had a warm glow to it. It's a very fond memory of mine. Thank you for posting this!!

Colts backup running back Kenton Keith was arrested early Sunday morning for drunk and disorderly conduct and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after cops found him glassy-eyed and disrespectful outside of Cloud 9 nightclub in Indy.
An off-duty police officer bouncing at the club said Keith and a few other individuals were outside Club 9 about 3 a.m., leaning on cars, dancing and not leaving the parking lot when they were told to. According to the police report, Keith resisted arrest and "would not be quiet. He kept hollering he was a Colts player, that he wasn't doing nothing wrong, that he would leave when he got ready."
Writer David J. Warner at AOL Fanhouse wildly speculates that Keith may be the victim of some sort of racism from the Indianapolis police department even though Keith was, you know, breaking the law.
Unlike last year's backup Colts running back, Dominic Rhodes, Keith did not urinate all over himself, which may save him from being picked up by the Raiders in 2009.

Tesla Exceeds 560 Reservations for 2008 Electric Roadster
24 July 2007
Reservations for Tesla Motors' all-electric 2008 Roadster now exceed 560 of a planned total 800 available Roadsters for the 2008 model year.
Many of the customers buying the Roadster are currently hybrid car owners, particularly the Prius. Others, according to Tesla, are lured by the styling and performance characteristics of the car, and have chosen the Roadster over such cars as the Porsche 911 and BMW M6.
Because of the unique all-electric design, the Roadster offers supercar performance yet is twice as energy efficient as the Prius. For customers who want to make a strong statement about energy efficiency, the Roadster offers the opportunity to have the best of both worlds.—Darryl Siry, VP of Sales, Marketing and Service

twice as energy efficient as the Prius
Those sorts of lies make me question their credibility. They better pray that their vehicle exceeds all this hype they're applying to it.
If they're off by just 15 wh/mile in their energy intensity estimates, that would put it equal with the Prius real-world fuel economy. To say it's double is to push beyond a reasonable range for estimating efficiency.
Not that someone who pays $100K for a 200-mile range vehicle is going to care much about nor actually measure to see if it's true...

Takashi Mitachi is a senior partner and managing director in BCG's Tokyo office and cochairman of BCG's Japan operations. He has been named to the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Geo-economics, a group of leaders from all sectors who collaborate to find ways to better manage integrated works of geopolitical and economic matters.
His work on the council has included examining the implications of trade blocs on global and economic growth and, ultimately, on businesses and consumers. He shared his views in a March 2015 blog on the Financial Times site, "Divisive Trade Blocs Set to Punish Customers." The work reflects research and findings captured in the report issued by the council, Geo-economics: Seven Challenges to Globalization.
Previously, Takashi served on the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Japan, focusing primarily on capturing the lessons about what worked and what didn't work after the earthquake—to help Japan and other nations prepare for and navigate future natural disasters.
"Oftentimes, there are significant challenges posed by large issues that span the public sector, the private sector, and academia. So having people with diverse backgrounds is essential to coming up with a cohesive way to tackle them. In my opinion, the Global Agenda Council is a perfect example of how BCG can be a partner to the global society and contribute to solving those issues.
"To position BCG as a peer organization among this group, and for me to be at that table, has been great way for me to enhance my client-service perspective."

CHRISTMAS is a time for giving, but Saints need to do some taking in the final third to keep their season alive this festive period.
Unfortunately all the positivity going into the game against Preston after a four-match unbeaten run drained out in the space of 90 disappointing minutes at St Mary's.
It wasn't that Saints played particularly badly; they just didn't do particularly well where it matters most.
That was exacerbated by high expectations coming into the game due to Saints' recent form and Preston's position in the Championship drop zone.
We have all known how important these fixtures are for Saints going into the Christmas and New Year period to allow them the space to kick on in 2008.
It seemed the corner had been turned and, whilst performances weren't spectacular, they were steady, consistent and encouraging.
But while the defence has tightened up, goals have been harder to come by, aside from the 4-0 drubbing of Hull when everything just went right in front of goal in a short burst.
The problems against Preston were all in the final third.
Again the defence did its job, breached only by a late goal as the team pressed on trying to find a winner and leaving themselves exposed.
For most of the game, Saints dominated possession.
But they couldn't do anything with it in the areas that mattered.
It's all very well having more possession, but if it's not in areas of the field that hurt the opposition then it doesn't mean a lot.
Preston were well organised and compact with two well-drilled banks of four squeezing to allow Saints little room to play in in the final third.
They allowed Saints the ball outside of that and posed them a challenge to try and break them down.
It was a challenge Saints were unable to meet and, in the end, they paid the ultimate price by taking just a point from a game they would have been expecting to win.
Despite their dominance of possession, Saints probably had less good chances than Preston.
One of the best came early on when Rudi Skacel cutback from the left by-line to Andrew Surman.
He swung a leg at the ball but couldn't connect cleanly and, by the time he got a second effort away, he had been closed down.
But Preston had an even better opening when a corner was only half cleared to Chris Sedgwick, who should have found the net but instead lashed well wide.
Preston made a couple of good blocks and Andy Lonergan a few routine saves as Saints were largely restricted to efforts from distance and tight angles in the second half.
From a Preston point of view, Paul Gallagher hit the side netting while Darren Carter fizzed in a shot from 25 yards that beat Kelvin Davis but smashed against the post.
Manager George Burley changed both his strikers for the final stages with Bradley Wright-Phillips and Stern John having struggled somewhat.
Grzegorz Rasiak was the last on but popped up with a chance with two minutes remaining.
Adam Hammill crossed from the right and Rasiak was there in the area to head the ball goalwards, but saw his effort stopped by Lonergan diving full length to his left to keep it out.
And then came the shock Preston winner.
At the same time as the fourth official held his board up to show three minutes of injury time, Simon Whaley launched the ball down the right wing.
Patrick Agyemang, a second half substitute with pace to burn, hammered down to the by-line.
He looked up and fired a firm low ball back and across goal to the far post where another sub, Lewis Neal, was charging in to meet it and sidefoot across Davis and into the far corner for the three points.
It is just such a frustrating season for Saints and this typified it.
Finally they get themselves on a good run, manage to put out a settled side and people are happy about where the team is going.
Then, just when you don't expect it, some of the old problems resurface and make you wonder whether they ever really went away.
Burley will be only too aware that his side are still in a position to be in and around the top six come the end of the festive period.
But there is little room for error in their upcoming games now.
It just seems to be the Saints way this season.
We can only hope that the results elsewhere in the division carry on in the same manner to make sure there is no rueing of missed opportunities a few months down the line.

The man attacked his much younger wife in their home south of Stockholm after flying into a jealous rage over suspicions that his wife had been unfaithful, the Aftonbladet newspaper reported.
Prosecutors considered the attack to be so vicious that they requested the man be remanded in custody on suspicion of attempted murder.
During a remand hearing, however, the court ruled the suspicions should be classified as aggravated assault and ordered the man held on remand pending the filing of formal charges.
According to Aftonbladet, the researcher has admitted to cutting off his wife's lips in retaliation for a supposed love affair.
"It was honour related. He doesn't seem to regret a thing; he believes she insulted him," a source with knowledge of the matter told the paper.
Ingela Hessius Ekman, a lawyer representing the victim, said her client has suffered both physically and emotionally from the attack.
"She has very serious injuries; the doctors can't yet say whether or not she can be healed," she told Aftonbladet.
The researcher reportedly has several children from a previous marriage, but a few weeks after divorcing his first wife he married a much younger woman who he recently believed had cheated on him.
Karolinska spokesperson Claes Keisu told the Expressen newspaper that the man is no longer employed at the prestigious research institute.
"He has ties with us but his regular job is in another country," he said.
A former colleague called news of the attack "a shock" and recalled the researcher as "friendly" when they worked together.
The researcher's lawyer, meanwhile, refused to comment on his client's stance toward the accusations.
The man is scheduled to undergo a psychiatric evaluation before the expected filing of a formal indictment by June 7th.

Manic Productions Presents
Suuns, Rose Windows
Snake Oil
Cafe Nine
250 State Street
New Haven, CT, 06511
This event is 21 and over
It didn't take long for Montreal's Suuns to resurface with a second full length, Images Du Futur, and, as one would anticipate, this latest exploration takes on even greater visceral depths. At the outset it appears we're still ensconced in the warehouse, whether it's the grinding opening explosives of "Powers of Ten" or the crude, ominous rise-and-fall riffs in "2020." Broken up by Ben Shemie's melodious and angst-ridden murmurs, the industrial low-end throb presides early on, lulling us into thinking the band has picked up right where they left off with their debut LP, Zeroes QC. "Minor Work" builds steadily around a nostalgic, fuzz-infused beat and bares a soothing, contagious harmony. "Mirror Mirror" departs from the frenzied earlier pace, decelerating to a lethargic drawl; the droning, almost tedious undertones are paid off with flurries of synthesized flute that announce the dawn of the dreamscape ahead. We aren't to be disappointed.
The notion that there is nothing new under the sun can be both a blessing and a curse to musicians. On the one hand, it absolves artists from any nagging sense that they have to reinvent the wheel with every new project. On the other, it makes innovation seem like a fool's errand. Seattle songwriter Chris Cheveyo embraces this blessing, but with his compatriots in Rose Windows, he also defies the curse. The band follows standard Western traditions in their instrumentation, using the basic tools employed in past decades of American and British rock music. Elements of The Band's folk-infused rock, The Doors organ-driven psychedelia, and Black Sabbath's blues-based dirges can be heard in Rose Window's debut album The Sun Dogs. But the septet's curiosity goes much further than a few well-chosen classic rock records. The band devoured Persian, Indian, and Eastern European music, studying the beautiful and strange paths taken by visionaries and renegades in other corners of the globe, and incorporated the revelations learned in the process into their sound. In doing so, The Sun Dogs challenges the assumption that all creative territories have been mapped out and charted. While Rose Windows aren't interested in making music of the future, one reviewer was wise enough to note "a sound like this would not be possible in any other time."
The genesis of Rose Windows started Fall 2010 in a house in Seattle's Central District, where Cheveyo found himself tiring of the limited palette of his prior heavy post-rock project. Though interested in new sonic possibilities, he was turned off by experimental music's lazy reliance on "knob-turning." His explorations became less about possibilities associated with new technology and more about studying various avenues of the past. The project began with a few rough demos done alone at home and slowly began to take shape as the band amassed members. Bandmates were mainly musician friends who wandered through the house. Rabia Shaheen Qazi's enchanting and exotic voice was the first component added to the fray. Roommate David Davila was asked to play piano and organ. Former bandmates Nils Petersen and Pat Schowe were enlisted for electric guitar and drums. Frequent houseguests Richie Rekow and Veronica Dye were brought on board for bass and flute. Rose Windows began playing out, fluidly sharing the stage with underground art-metal bands one night and popular indie Americana acts the next.
Label-less at the time, Rose Windows began making plans for recording The Sun Dogs in November of 2011. The band sought out local producer Randall Dunn based on his past success in harnessing the electric power of SunnO))) and Boris, the bleak twang of Earth, and the shamanistic acid-trips of Master Musicians of Bukkake. Dunn's penchant for musical anthropology proved the perfect match for the band, with their mutual curiosity and artistic ambition broadening the scope of the album. Other local musicians were brought on board to add harp, pedal steel, viola, and cello. Dynamics were expanded. Boundaries were pushed.
Musically, The Sun Dogs is an album based on the idea of sifting through the past, extracting bits and pieces, and re-imagining these into new forms. It's about observing and building upon musical traditions. Thematically, Cheveyo describes The Sun Dogs as being about "the everyday blues that capitalism and its hit man, religion, bring on all of us." More specifically, he sees The Sun Dogs as an acknowledgment of the circular nature of the rat race, learning to accept the evil in the world, taking joy wherever we can, and ultimately disavowing traditions of exploitation and violence. That search for finding light in the dark is perfectly captured in the album opener "The Sun Dogs I: Spirit Modules," as the ominous verses uncoil into beautifully lush string arrangements and vocal harmonies. "Native Dreams" displays the band's affinity for both exotic melodies and bold distorted guitar riffs, all while Qazi describes the encroachment of one culture upon another by singing of "spirit warriors" surrounding a sleeping camp. "Walkin' With a Woman" conjures the old blues tale of encountering the devil at the crossroads while culling motifs from classic psych and prog records. Songs like "Heavenly Days" and "Season of Serpents" offer a counterpoint to the foreboding moments on The Sun Dogs, with folk-steeped guitars, gentle pedal steel, and graceful choruses painting a picture of those moments of joy and grace in the midst of the world's evil. These moments of respite make the foreign melodies, menacing mysticism, and blown-out riffs on songs like "This Shroud" all the more disquieting. But ultimately "The Sun Dogs II: Coda" ends the album with a ray of light, with the alternating major and minor chords on acoustic guitar, lilting piano lines, "Kashmir"-esque strings, and full-band vocal harmonies burning off the gloom.
Rose Windows have already toured the West Coast several times, and with the release of The Sun Dogs, the band plans much more. In the meantime, they continue their search—delving into archives of long-lost albums, learning more about their craft from renowned local musicians, and charting their own path in an ancient art.
Snake Oil is a collective with its primary collaborators in NYC, Western Massachusetts, and Southern Connecticut. They produce electroacoustic instrumental music that is skeptical of genre distinctions, though this is subject to change without notice. Snake Oil released a debut LP in 2011, followed up by a 7" EP in early 2012. A new LP, The Train is White and the Moon is Strong (or Combinations of Objects and Animals), will come out later this year. The new recordings draw from a wide range of influences--Nigerian psychedelic, free jazz, kraut rock, funk, early fusion, etc. The live line-up includes members, past and present, of Weigh Down, Titles, Stephen Brodsky, MT Bearington, Latitude/Longitude, Charles Burst, and others.

Guilty of cruelty but not even fined: Circus owner who let Anne the elephant be chained and beaten walks free.
Bobby Roberts found guilty today of three charges of causing unnecessary suffering at Northampton Crown Court
Walks free from court after receiving three year conditional discharge
Wife Moira Roberts was cleared of all charges
Animal rights group said the sentence is 'derisory'
The former owner of Anne the elephant was yesterday found guilty of animal cruelty – but walked free from court without even being fined.
Circus boss Bobby Roberts, 70, was given a conditional discharge for keeping Anne constantly chained in her winter quarters and failing to prevent a groom from beating her with a pitchfork.
His wife Moira, 75, was cleared of the same charges after the judge ruled that she was not an owner of Anne and therefore not responsible for her care. The couple ran Bobby Roberts' Super Circus where Anne's ordeal was secretly filmed by animal rights group Animal Defenders International.
Girl who threw puppies into river escapes unpunished
A schoolgirl who was filmed by a friend throwing puppies into a river has escaped punishment by police because she was too young to be charged with cruelty, it was reported.
"Neither the girl nor the parents will be charged. This is outrageous".
Even though animals obviously feel fear and pain, just like humans, sentences for animal abuse do not reflect that. In a lot of instances, horrific animal cruelty is perfectly legal, and even encouraged in some countries!
If these people are getting away with abusing animals than alot of other people are aswell, its not fair and it should be treated very seriously. The law needs to get tougher on these people and teach them a lesson. Please sign. Thank you.
