A new study finds you can get HPV from shared vibrators.
Sharing a sex toy with your partner is one of those pieces of sex advice that crops up every now and again, and for good reason. For some men and women, bringing a sex toy into the bedroom can enhance their experience, get a partner to orgasm more easily, and introduce experimental play. But according to scientists from Indiana University School of Medicine, people might want to think twice before they swap dildos with their next girlfriend.
Researchers gave 12 women two different kinds of vibrators, one made of soft silicone and one made of thermoplastic elastomer. The study focused on whether or not a vibrator could transmit HPV, the cancer-causing human papillomavirus. Of the nine participants who tested positive for HPV, at least one of the two Rabbit-style vibrators was found to have HPV transferred onto it. Even after cleaning the sex toys off, the researchers detected DNA from HPV on nine of the toys. "Sex toys used between partners within the same sexual encounter have the potential for transmitting HPV," the study concluded. Sharing everything in a relationship doesn't mean you should actually share everything.
This is an important finding for the more than half of women who report using a vibrator regularly and the 65 percent of bisexual women who report sex toy play with their partners. It's simply not that practical or sexy to say in the middle of sex, "Hey, I'm going to go mop down this vibrator with an antibacterial soap before you use it." The researchers suggest keeping your vibrators to yourself (fair enough) or using condoms between use. What I really see here, though, is an awesome excuse to go buy some weird new sex toys with your partner.

Marion Jones's season suffered another setback when she tired badly on the anchor leg of the 4 x 200 metres before her team were disqualified for a faulty changeover at the Kansas City Relays. This disappointment came a week after Jones was last in the 400m at the Mount Sac meeting in California.
John Wells, of Hartlepool, who has yet to be selected for England, denied the 2001 champion, Darren Burnett, from Arbroath, in the final of the Alfa Romeo WIBC world indoor men's championship in Belfast yesterday, fully deserving his 7-2, 3-9, 2-0 victory, even though Burnett was suffering from a painful shoulder injury.
In an all-Scottish final of the women's event, Margaret Letham, from Blantyre, beat the defending champion, Julie Forrest, of Teviotdale, 7-8, 11-1.
Alexander Vinokourov, of the T-Mobile team, won the last classic of the spring, the 162-mile Liege-Bastogne-Liege race in Belgium yesterday, outsprinting Jens Voigt.
The Kazakh wrong-footed his rivals when he was the only rider to move with Voigt (CSC team), who attacked in the Vecquee climb, 50 km (31 miles) from the finish.
It was a return to form for Vinkourov, 31, who missed the Tour de France last summer after crashing badly in the Tour de Suisse.
Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum and Shutterfly, runners-up in the 2004 World Cup Final in Milan, set themselves up to go one better in Las Vegas when winning the second of the three legs, in which Michael Whitaker's Portofino hit the last jump-off fence and dropped to seventh.
Whitaker is equal sixth overall, while ante-post favourites Nick Skelton and Arko III are 13th. Richard Davenport,on his Olympia winner Laguina, also made the cut into the last leg.
Sarah Heath, 23, a professional from the Belfry, putted well to return an aggregate score of 145, one over par, to win the Roehampton Gold Cup.
Henrietta Brockway, 15, a one-handicap amateur from Yeovil, made a remarkable debut in the 36-hole scratch event, outplaying an inter-national field to miss out by only one shot.
Bedfordshire clinched a national double yesterday when they added the Inter-County Championship to the National League crown they won earlier this season.
Coached by former England captain Kendra Slawinski, they beat Kent 11-5 in the final, courtesy of some clinical shooting by Jo Coleman and Heather Clarke. Middlesex were third after a tough 9-7 victory over former champions Essex Metropolitan.
Rugby Union
Newbury clinched promotion to National One for the first time with a 26-12 win at Stourbridge on Saturday.
Two second-half tries by flanker Johnny Tuaamoheloa and 16 points from the boot of fly-half Dave Harvey secured Newbury runners-up spot behind National Two champions Doncaster.
Newbury will exchange places with their Thames Valley rivals, Henley, who were relegated for the second time in three seasons.
Ipswich's Elite League title hopes have been hit by an injury to their captain, Chris Louis. The veteran, former England skipper, 35, sustained a broken kneecap in a crash on Friday night.

Got Clipped
Well today I got my pedals and shoes, and I went out and clipped myself. So far no falls, but I must say I LOVE THEM! I only did 7 miles, 92 degrees, 85% humidity, and thunder, but it was far enough to know I am in love. I am looking forward to tomorrow, another 90+ day, and high humidity. Gotta love Ohio. Anyhow thanks for everyones advice, I do read them all.
Happy as heck.
- clipped one bike this weekend... will clip the road bike tomorrow...
- i like them! and you don't have to spend a lot of money! i have purchased extra cleats though, as there is potential gravel damage at the staging area where i ride... (cheap insurance to have an extra set of $8 SPD cleats on hand, right?)
- good for you! here's to lengthy trackstands at stops! (i can manage 30 secs + if i have waggle room)
I'm new to clipless recently, too. They help me a lot on the nasty climbs. When I start getting really ragged and tired, I start doing arc drills: I concentrate on applying pedaling force at different and distinct parts of the pedaling arc. This always seems to help me forget my pain and keep on cranking.
So far, I've taken two falls - one with witnesses; one without. :o (Hey! I guess I don't have to count the second one!)
Good riding,
One thing I've noticed. I tend to fall over when I'm at a dead stop and off balance. If I cuss alot, I tend to stay up, the fouler the language, the better my balance :D Hmmmm, what do you think that means??? :lol:
That used to happen to me a lot when I drank.

Members of the Christian faith are increasingly under attack in Syria, Iraq, Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries. Though the main victims of the rising tide of sectarian violence in the region are Muslim civilians targeted by militants from the rival Sunni and Shia branches of Islam, violence against Christians is also increasing.
There is not much that can be done about this distressing trend so long as radical Islamists are free to target people of other faiths in the increasingly chaotic Mideast.
Fresh examples include three Christmas Day attacks in Iraq, including a car bomb outside a church service, which killed 37 Christians. And nine nuns were kidnapped early this month in Syria, where there are frequent reports of abductions, torture, mass killings and beheadings of Christians. Violence in Egypt against Coptic Christians peaked last August — for the time being — with the destruction of scores of churches and drive-by killings.
Fundamentalist Muslim clergy and Islamic terrorists seem determined to rid the Mideast of Christians, just as they once drove out Jews. An imam in Iraq has declared that wearing a red Santa Claus hat is equivalent to being converted to Christianity, a capital offense under Muslim law.
Canon Andrew White, the esteemed vicar of St. George's Anglican Church in Baghdad, reports that Iraqi Christians are "frightened even to walk to church because they might come under attack. All the churches are targets ... We used to have 1.5 million Christians, now we have probably only 200,000 left."
As Michael Gerson notes on our Commentary page, religious tolerance is one of the fruits of Western democracy — but it is also the outcome of centuries of religious strife in Europe that gradually led people to seek a separation between church and state.
In contrast, a major objective of fundamentalist Muslim groups is to impose a particular form of religious law, Sharia, on everyone. As England's Prince Charles has said, the bridges of respect and understanding that he and other world leaders have tried to build with moderate Muslim leaders "are rapidly being deliberately destroyed by those with a vested interest in doing so."
The world is a darker place because of their murderous zeal. This intensifying animus toward Christians demands sweeping — and continuing — condemnation by the international community.

What will you be doing at RallyPoint?
I will be supporting the RallyPoint community and its individual members. This will vary from responding to members questions and suggestions, to engaging with the community in our Answers forums and through social media. I also look forward to highlighting some of our service members, units, and veterans within RallyPoint, and helping our members grow their professional network.
Can you tell us more about yourself?
I joined the Massachusetts Army National Guard in February 2010 and attended BCT at Fort Jackson, SC that summer. Following basic training I attended Officer Candidate School at the Massachusetts Military Academy, receiving my commission as a Second Lieutenant in August 2012. I was a Platoon Leader in the 1166th Trans Company, 164th TC, from September 2012 to December 2013, during which time I attended TBOLC at Fort Lee, VA, and currently serve as the Executive and Operations Officer at the 1166th.
Prior to joining the National Guard I attended Bucknell University and received a degree in political science and environmental studies. Since graduation I've worked in an administrative roles in health care and pharmaceuticals. In additional to my position at RallyPoint I am heavily involved in organizing Tough Ruck and can frequently be found hiking in the Blue Hills.
How did you find out about RallyPoint and how long have you been a member?
I first heard about RallyPoint through a BostInno article in November 2012, and joined shortly afterwards. I became more active on the site when the discussion boards were introduced, finding it rewarding to be able to communicate with service members and veterans across branches and regardless of rank.
What do you like most about RallyPoint?
As a young and relatively inexperienced Lieutenant I continue to find that the Answers discussion boards are my favorite part of RallyPoint. Whether I am giving feedback, receiving advice, or just following a discussion I am constantly learning more about the military profession and how to improve myself as an Officer.
Why did you decide to join RallyPoint?
When the RallyPoint founders approached me about joining RallyPoint as a community manager I was very excited by the prospect of becoming part of the team. I believe that RallyPoint is an incredible networking tool for acting service members and veterans alike, and from a personal perspective, can see its usefulness for my fellow National Guard Soldiers trying to balance both a military and civilian career. I look forward to strengthening the existing community and working with members to make RallyPoint an increasingly valuable tool for its members. I'm very excited to be a part of RallyPoint as it continues to grow!

Carnival Elation
Elation heads the big parade
Carnival Cruise Lines' 2,040-passenger Elation took safely to the seas in March 1998 having been handed over by Finland's Kvaerner Masa-Yards during ceremonies in Helsinki.
The 70,000-ton, 300 million-dollar vessel is pictured by Marvin Jensen arriving in San Fransisco having left Miami on March 20 for a 15-day maiden Panama Canal voyage to Los Angeles.
Following pre-inaugural activities on the West Coast, she began her year-round, seven-day cruises from California to the Mexican Riviera, becoming the first new cruise ship ever to offer regular service from Los Angeles. She switched to shorter cruises from San Diego and in May 2010 she is moving toMobile, Alabama, to operate four and five-day western Caribbean cruises , replacing Carnival Fantasy.
Elation, completed almost two weeks ahead of schedule, was the first cruise ship to feature the innovative electric Azipod propulsion which, unlike conventional systems, pulls a ship through the water instead of pushing it.
The system did away with traditional propeller shafts, rudders and stern thrusters, making the ship easier to steer and manoeuver and reducing noise and vibration.

If you liked �The Hangover� but felt like it needed more projectile vomit, stampeding buffaloes and naughty sorority pledges being spanked, then �21 & Over� is the feel-good, feel-bad movie for you.
The writers of that 2009 smashed smash hit, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, wrote the script here, too, and direct for the first time. Comparatively, it is simultaneously amped-up and slapped together. It is both younger and dumber but also even more equal opportunity in choosing its targets; the same people who get tooled on also rise up and enjoy a certain amount of empowerment.
Sometimes this balancing act works and sometimes it doesn�t. �21 & Over� is at its best when it�s riding an all-night, boozy high, when it captures a sensation of idiotic invincibility. When it tries to be about something � growing up and being responsible but still maintaining the fun and friendships of youth � it feels a bit strained.
While comparisons to �The Hangover� are inevitable, �21 & Over� is actually reminiscent of a different and specific kind of movie: the early Vince Vaughn-Jon Favreau romp. The charismatic Miles Teller (�Rabbit Hole,� �Project X�) as Miller functions as the Vaughn figure, all swagger and snappy banter. Likably low-key Skylar Astin (�Pitch Perfect�) as Casey is more self-effacing and cautious as Favreau has been.
At the center of their push-pull is their mutual childhood best friend, Jeff Chang (Justin Chon of the �Twilight� movies), whom they always refer to as Jeff Chang, as in �Did we just kill Jeff Chang?� While they�ve all gone their separate ways for college, Jeff�s 21st birthday brings them back together again � or rather, Miller and Casey just show up at Jeff�s university to take him out for a wild celebration.
But Jeff has a medical school interview at 8 a.m. the next day, arranged for him by his ridiculously demanding and stern father (Francois Chau) who insists that he join the family tradition and become a doctor, too.
Clearly, Jeff Chang isn�t going to make it.
What starts out as �just one beer� � ha, ha � becomes many beers, and shots, and a mechanical bull ride, and random make-out sessions. And that�s just the beginning. The getting-hammered montage is actually a kick as the trio hops from one campus bar to the next (�21 & Over� was filmed at the beautiful University of Washington), giving us a glimpse of how these disparate guys could have been best pals in the first place.
If the entire movie was one big drunkfest, though, it would be a little monotonous and redundant. There are only so many drinking games in the world. Lucas and Moore try to balance the raunchiness with reality, as the friends struggle to figure out what to do with their lives once the buzz � and college � are over. These segments don�t feel nearly as well-thought-out and the tonal shifts can be a little jarring, but the actors always have a nice camaraderie with each other.
And in the end, everyone gets a chance to shine, or at least enjoy a little revenge: the Latina sorority girls and the Asian field hockey player and the weird, hairy resident assistant and the drugged-out homeless guy in the Native American headdress and yes, even Jeff Chang.

Axel is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and the television series of the same name. He appeared in the comics in Issue 13 and outlived his fellow prisoners by a long time, until his death at the hands of the Governor.
Comic book series[edit]
Axel is introduced as one of the four prisoners taking refuge in the prison.[1] He befriends Rick's group and sides with them over his fellow prisoners.[volume & issue needed] He starts a relationship with Patricia.[volume & issue needed] He is shot in the head during an assault on the prison and dies.[2]
Television series[edit]
In the television series, Axel first appears in the Season 3 premiere, "Seed", as one of the five prison inmates (along with Tomas, Andrew, Big Tiny, and Oscar) where they witness Rick amputating the lower portion of Hershel's leg after he is bitten by walkers. In the episode "Sick", Rick makes a deal with the prisoners to clear out a cell block for them in exchange for half of their food. Tomas kills Big Tiny after he is scratched by a walker. Tomas tries twice to assassinate Rick while clearing out the cells, so Rick kills Tomas with his machete, and chases Andrew and locks him in a courtyard full of walkers. Rick, Daryl, and T-Dog hold Axel and Oscar at gunpoint; Axel begs for his life, but Oscar refuses to beg. Rick's group shows mercy on them and allows them to stay in the prison, though he and Oscar are told to stay in another block. In the episode "Killer Within", Oscar and Axel find it very disturbing to stay with their deceased inmates and beg Rick to let them stay. T-Dog sympathizes with the prisoners and asks Rick to let them join the group, but Rick is adamant about keeping to their earlier compromise. Later, a horde of walkers is let into the prison courtyard, resulting in the deaths of T-Dog and Lori. When the prison's sirens sound off, Oscar explains that the back-up generators are powering the alarms, and takes Rick to shut them down. Andrew, who survived and is revealed to have let the walkers loose and turned on the alarms, attacks Rick in the generator room. Oscar kills Andrew, and Oscar and Axel are then allowed to stay with the others. In the episode "Say the Word", Axel helps dig graves for those who died during the walker attack. In the episode "When the Dead Come Knocking", Axel volunteers to go to Woodbury, but stays behind to protect the prison. In the episode "Made to Suffer", Axel soon tries to win the favor of the group by trying to stir up conversations and takes a liking to Beth and Carol, flirting with them both. In the episode "The Suicide King", Axel, Hershel, and Beth, visit new arrivals Tyreese, Sasha, Allen, and Ben. In the episode "Home", Axel helps the group fortify the prison, and becomes friendly with Carol by telling her stories of his criminal past. He reveals that he was sentenced for trying to rob a convenience store with a toy gun, but the police did not believe him and found his brother's gun and assumed it to be the real weapon and he was incarcerated. He is killed by The Governor by a shot to the head as part of a surprise attack initiating his assault on the prison.
Lew Temple was cast as Axel, saying "Axel is a gregarious Southern redneck-biker type, who has big heart no doubt," "He has a sense of compassion for his fellow man, but he is not as meek as he might appear, and though he has had to survive with four other hardened criminals, sans Oscar, this brave new world is something entirely different for him. He wants to associate and assimilate into the group of survivors, to the point of trying too hard to be accepted. He has a wry sense of humor and ironic quick wit. He will make you laugh and cry in the same offering."[3]
Zack Handlen, writing for The A.V. Club in his review of "Sick", joked of Oscar and Axel, "I'm sure the remaining prisoners are completely harmless. They said they were harmless—why would they lie?"[4] Showrunner Glen Mazzara commented that in "Killer Within", Axel and Oscar want to be let into the group so they "prove themselves, which is why Oscar takes action and kills Andrew (Markice Moore), so that he can gain access to the group. Throughout the entire season, it's a major theme: Who can Rick let in? Not just into the prison, but let in emotionally."[5] Los Angeles Times columnist Laura Hudson observed tribalism as a trope in "Killer Within", which she ascribed to the reluctance of Maggie, Rick, and others in the group to allow Oscar and Axel into their clan. Hudson noted that these characters had been severed from the cultural and social fabric of their past civilization for so long that they have reverted to "traveling in a small, tightly knit group, hunting and gathering, and regarding anyone who isn't part of their it as a deadly threat."[6] Zack Handlen commented in his review of "Made to Suffer" that "Axel's enthusiasm for getting laid is sending off all kinds of creepy vibes, just the way he got real interested when he found out Beth was 17 could be a bad sign. (His assumption that Carol was a lesbian was kind of funny, though.)"[7]
Lew Temple found out about Axel's death about two weeks before the episode "Home" was filmed: "[Glen Mazzara] had just come down to screen the season 3 premiere episode for cast and crew on location. It was great! It was a lovely evening. We celebrated an amazing kick-off to a great new season. And that particular night was the first time I had met Glen in person. We had a really nice visit about what we were doing with Axel, and he was so effusive and kind and lovely, saying "I really dig how you're bringing Axel out, and the layers that are there. We can go in so many directions because you're keeping things close to the vest and we're not sure what he's about." So I was fairly excited, and I got a call from his assistant the next day saying Glen wanted to speak with me, and I'm like oh, great!, assuming he's going to want to speak more about character development. 15 to 20 seconds into the conversation he says, "Lew, this is really unfortunate but I've got to let you know that Axel is going to take a bullet to the head."[8] Eric Goldman at IGN thought the death of Axel was a huge surprise.[9] Phil Dyess-Nugent, writing for The A.V. Club, commented that in his earlier appearances, "Lew Temple managed to invest Axel with a certain mangy charm, and he really blossoms in this episode; when he's chatting up Carol and shining a little white-trash charm, I found myself thinking, "Shit, I'm glad this guy's around," which is a thought I haven't had about Rick or Glenn or Maggie or Hershel in living memory. Unfortunately, the show itself seems to share Rick's distrust of letting in strangers."[10]

First Reading: Hosea 6:1-6
1: "Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn, that he may heal us; he has stricken, and he will bind us up.
2: After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
3: Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth."
4: What shall I do with you, O E'phraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.
5: Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth as the light.
6: For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.
Psalm: Psalms 51:3-4, 18-21ab
3 Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
4 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
18 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
19 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
20 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
21 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
Gospel: Luke 18:9-14
9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others:
10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, `God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get.'
13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, `God, be merciful to me a sinner!'
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Doctor Strange is the latest Marvel film that will be crashing into theaters this fall. The movie is one step closer to the events leading to to the epic Infinity War battle between the Avengers and the ultra-powerful Thanos. Scott Derrickson (Sinister) is helming the Marvel Universes's newest Avenger that will see Benedict Cumberbatch's Strange fight against the forces of evil.
The film will introduce another element to the Marvel Universe: magic. The mystical arts are something that have yet to be explored in this universe. We have seen a great deal of the craziness that will ensue from the recent trailers and TV spots. However, Marvel has released an amazing clip that showcases Strange taking on Mads Mikkelsen's Kaecilius and his henchmen. Check out the intense action below:
What Did We Learn From This Clip?
One thing's for sure, this film is gonna be nuts! Where do I even start? First, Strange is seen harnessing his magic skills using some sort of spell to create a magical lasso. Strange utilizes this magic lasso to grab and throw items at his enemies while also using it to deflect items thrown his way.
Another thing to note here is that there's not a whole lot of hand-to-hand combat going on. We don't see a lot of punches being thrown. While we do have some characters (like Iron Man) who mostly fight at a distance, the superheroes of the MCU tend to throw down physically, whether with fists or weapons. But the world of Doctor Strange's isn't one where battles are fought with fists but with the mind — it's entirely possible that all the fight sequences will feature no hand-to-hand combat but magical combat only.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this entire scene is the trippy visuals we get toward the end of the clip. We saw what we presume is the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) perform something similar in the trailers with a few buildings, but what Kaecilius is doing is some pure voodoo shit, right there.
The inside part of the room appears to stretch out as Strange is trying to run away from the enemy. However Kaecilius won't let him and Strange is caught right in his tracks. The visuals are extremely impressive as this is certainly a fighting style we have yet to see on the big screen — in fact, the visuals and action sequences are being universally praised in the first wave of critics' responses, along with Michael Giacchino's score, which is something unlike anything we've heard yet in the MCU and only adds to the acid trip-ness of the movie.
Strange Still Has A Lot To Learn
If I were to guess, this scene probably takes place toward the beginning or middle of the movie. It's possibly even his first encounter with Kaecilius and his servants. Something to note here from this specific scene, is that it doesn't appear that Strange has a complete grasp of his powers yet. In one of the trailers, the Ancient One asks Strange, "How did you become a doctor?" to which Strange responds with, "Studying and practice; years of it." This scene goes to show that Strange still has much to learn if he's to harness all of the powers that lie within.
Unlike all of the other heroes, Strange has to quite literally go back to school to relearn everything he thought he knew. The majority of the MCU characters (e.g. Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man), have been using their powers and unique abilities for quite some time now, or were born with them. Though this man is great with medical terminology, that unfortunately won't help him here as he now has to learn everything there is to know about the mystical realm and the power behind it. The Ancient One will be a tough teacher, much like Ra's Al Ghul's character was to Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins. Hopefully it will all be worth it for Strange.
What Other Clips Might Be Released Before The Film Hits Theaters?
I don't anticipate us getting more action scenes leading up to the movie's release date. In fact, I don't want to see anymore. Captain America: Civil War gave us just enough in the trailers and TV spots and saved the majority of its incredible airport battle for theater viewers and boy, were we treated to something special. I expect Marvel to give us a few scenes involving Strange studying under the Ancient One's tutelage and a few other scenes with Strange speaking with Wong (Benedict Wong) and Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

- Marvel's Doppelganger Villain Problem Is Necessary (For Now) But It's About To Change
- Stan Lee's 'Doctor Strange' Cameo Is Set To Be Super Trippy
To be honest, that's all I want and I hope that they keep all of the incredible action scenes to a bare minimum. I want to be absolutely stunned in the theater at the trippy visuals that Derrickson has promised fans. We can only hold out hope that Doctor Strange will be another solid addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

RSPCA cruelty statistics for 2011
12:00am 24th April 2012
The number of people convicted for cruelty and neglect to animals rose by nearly a quarter in England and Wales last year, according to figures announced by the RSPCA today (Tuesday 24th April 2012).
Cases being highlighted ahead of the charity's major fundraising push, RSPCA Week 2012, include a dog repeatedly stabbed with a potato peeler, a collapsed and emaciated dog dumped on Christmas Day morning and a dog which ate her dead mate to survive after being abandoned in a flat.
As well as a rise in those convicted under the Animal Welfare Act and other legislation, bans on keeping animals also increased in 2011, along with the number of prison sentences imposed for animal cruelty.
Across England and Wales, the RSPCA's latest figures reveal:
- 23.5 % rise in the number of people convicted for cruelty & neglect (1,341 in 2011)
- 22 % rise in the convictions relating to cruelty to dogs (2,105 in 2011)
- 21 % increase in disqualifications on keeping animals imposed by courts (1,100 in 2011)
- 27 % rise in prison sentences imposed by courts (74 in 2011)
- 9.3 % increase in the numbers of people reported to the RSPCA prosecutions department (3,036 in 2011)
13 % rise in the number of phone calls received by the RSPCA at the charity's control room in South Yorkshire (1,314,795 in 2011)
In the North of England:
- 529 people were convicted for cruelty and neglect compared to 471 in 2010 - a rise of 12.3%
- 728 convictions relating to cruelty to dogs compared to 800 in 2010 - a decrease of 9%
- 458 disqualifications for keeping animals imposed by courts compared to 415 in 2010 - a 10.3% rise
- 22 prison sentences imposed by courts compared to 19 in 2010 - a 15.7% rise
- 1,069 people reported to the RSPCA prosecutions department compared to 1,127 in 2010 - a decrease of 5.2%
RSPCA chief executive Gavin Grant said:
"The RSPCA faces a crisis that is stretching us to breaking point.
"We show zero tolerance to animal abusers. Anyone causing animals pain for profit or pleasure will be tracked down and prosecuted.
"We need the courts and councils, police and people who care to join us in standing up and getting justice for Britain's abused animals."
North Yorkshire Case Study
A Leyburn man who filmed two dogs being set upon a snared fox was jailed for 16 weeks by Northallerton Magistrates Court in March 2011.
The fox, which was confined in a yard, had a snare around it, meaning that it didn't stand a chance against the two dogs and two men who backed it into a corner, forcing it to fight for its life. The whole thing was filmed on a mobile phone.
RSPCA chief inspector Mark Gent described the footage as the 'most horrific' he had ever seen.
He said:
"All the time you can hear him and another man urging the dogs on and laughing. One of them even pins the fox down, giving the dogs more of an advantage.
"The ordeal goes on for several minutes until eventually the fox is so weak it can't defend itself anymore."
The footage came to light after the man's phone was confiscated by police for another reason and contacted the RSPCA.
Chief inspector Gent added:
"These men could have killed this fox whenever they wanted but they prolonged its suffering for their pleasure. They even captured it on camera so they could replay it over and over to themselves."
Although the dogs in the film were never traced, the defendant was banned from keeping dogs for 10 years.

Many of us know that there have been unexplained events occur on particular film sets. Movies such as, 'The Exorcist', 'Poltergeist', 'The Omen', 'The Amityville Horror' are all examples. If you know of these stories, you know that all of the events occur during, or after production of the films. For me, I think it would be interesting to see these stories expanded and sent to the silver screen.
First of all, we have the film, 'The Exorcist'. Many unfortunate deaths were associated with the films release and production. Facts are from various websites. But first, we have Jack MacGowran who played the character of Burke Dennings. The actor passed away at the age of 55 of Influenza. His character is also killed in the film. Next, Jason Miller, who played Father Karras reportedly had a strange occurrence with another priest. Miller, who would often practice his lines in a restaurant near Jesuit Quarters was approached by a priest one day and was given a medallion of the Blessed Virgin. This medallion would protect him and the priest told him to be careful. Jason then passed away from a heart attack just living long enough to appear 'The Exorcist III'. A fire occurred and the first set of the MacNeil home was burnt down. The cause of the fire is unexplained and another set had to be rebuilt. The list goes on and on.
You all know the film 'Poltergeist'. This is one of the most famous cursed sets. The child actor, Heather Rourke passed away before the third film was released of the flu. Julian Beck, the old man in the two last films died of cancer. Louis Perryman was stabbed in his home. One of the weirdest things is that the film directors used actual human remains for the props in the film. This list also goes on and on.
It might just be me, but I think that these stories would make great films. I think it would be interesting to see a film based on these films productions and the horrors and mysteries that occurred. There are many different rumors on what happened and people believe different things but I would definitely like to see these theories in a film.

David O'Donnell: Moved by Memory in Picture Wheel
Written and directed by David O'Donnell, and produced by David O'Donnell, Alex Russell and Tom Fox-Davies, the short film Picture Wheel posits a world where we're not just haunted by our past, we carry it with us in the form of photos of our memories affixed to our heads by a bizarre device, the images of our regrets ever hovering in our field of vision. It's an example of greyscale surrealism reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's Brazil, following an office worker who cannot escape the memories of his ex. Following the film's recent premiere at Cinequest Film Festival, we caught up with O'Donnell for a quick word.

Published: Thursday 25th December 2014 by The News Editor
On the night before Christmas, there was one British home where plenty of creatures were stirring.
More than 180 animals are currently being cared for at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home's flagship centre in south west London, in what is the UK's oldest and arguably best-known animal rescue centre.
Each year, a handful of workers postpone their turkey dinners to tend to the animals residing here and at other shelters across the country.
Ros Davies will be one of those manning the Battersea home today.
She is a rehomer in the cattery, helping to find new homes for cats that have been lost, abandoned or surrendered by their previous owners.
On Christmas Day, though, when the home is closed to prospective pet owners, she will be playing Saint Nick instead.
"We're full at the moment. There's 83 pens in the cattery and they've all got at least one cat in them," Ms Davies said.
"A lot of people very kindly donated toys and treats for the cats, so we've got a big pile of presents to give out to them … We dish 'em all out so that there's enough for every cat, and some left over."
The cats got into the Christmas spirit early this year, she said, with stockings outside each pen: "The cattery is beautifully decorated. Much better decorated than the dogs."
Over in the kennels, canine welfare trainer Nathalie Ingham has been playing carols to keep her charges from fretting.
"We've got nice calm Christmas songs going at the moment," she said.
"Silent Night, stuff like that."
She was hoping for a white Christmas this year.
"It's really nice to see how they respond to things like snow – some dogs are just mesmerised by it and don't quite understand what they're walking on, and others just go crazy for snow and have loads of fun charging around. It's a nice time of year to be here, lots of different things, and everyone's a bit more laid-back," she said.
These holidays she is spending December 25 with family, but is planning to bring in a doggy bag on Boxing Day.
"I might be bringing in a few leftovers for some of the special ones, yeah," she laughed.
Rehomer Laura Cushway has one Christmas present in mind.
She has her fingers crossed that one of the "long-stays" will find a home these holidays – like Lola, who spends her nights in foster care but has been waiting patiently for a permanent home for more than two months.
But Lola has nothing on Biscuit, in the home's Old Windsor branch in Berkshire, who has now spent more than half his life waiting for a home.
The two-year-old mongrel arrived as a stray in February 2013 and has watched on as nearly 5,000 other dogs have found new homes.
Making a last-ditch pre-Christmas plea this week, the Old Windsor centre's manager Kaye Mughal said: "It's unbelievable Biscuit still hasn't found a home when he's such a beautiful and fun-loving dog who would fit in perfectly with a family.
"Every day we hope someone will call us wanting to meet him, but poor Biscuit is constantly rejected and hasn't had any interest. We really thought he'd find a home before Christmas."
There is no time limit on how long a dog or cat can spend looking for a new home at Battersea, but anything more than a few months is unusual.
"We used to have dogs who stayed for a year," Ms Cushway said.
"Now, three or four months is a long stay for us."
Intake co-ordinator Woody Woodford-Price said he would be having "more or less" his first Christmas off since he joined Battersea 14 years ago.
When a family decides they can no longer keep a pet at home, Mr Woodford-Price is their first contact at the home.
He deals with at least 1,300 calls a month and says they run the gamut from the heartbreaking to the slightly perplexing.
"(There have been cases) where dogs haven't matched the sofa, things like that, they've been different colours. That does happen as well. Or it just doesn't fit in with their lifestyle. People do buy these things as fashion accessories, and it's not, of course," he said.
"For this time of year, some people are looking to rehome their animals because they're going away for Christmas – they've got parties planned and they want to bring their animals in to the home."
Come January or February, he will be bracing for another wave of puppies and kittens that were given as ill-advised gifts. "People don't realise how much it's actually going to cost to feed an animal, the time that's involved … Like children, they have to be fed, kept clean, with fresh water and food and of course medical treatment as well," he said.
But he is also expecting a surge of people to make the post-holiday decision to open their homes.
Cat rehomer Ms Davies said she is expecting up to 40 cats to be snapped up this weekend alone.
"Most of our cats will fly out of here," she said.

According to analysts at Mintel, Next's revenues could overtake M&S's revenues in clothing this year if the companies current performances continues.
Today, M&S will report a drop of up to 6pc in like-for-like sales in general merchandise, which is primarily clothing, for the quarter to the end of March. However, food sales could rise by as much as 3.5pc, Nomura has forecast.
This fall in sales would result in M&S reporting a 1.3pc decline in like-for-likes revenues and a 0.7pc rise in total sales for its financial year, the company's worst performance in four years. In contrast, Next's sales rose by 3.1pc over the last year.
John Mercer, senior retail analyst at Mintel, said M&S had become a "mid-market monolith in an age of more targeted propositions".
If the current trajectories continue, then Next will overtake M&S's clothing sales this year and the entire M&S general merchandise division, which takes into account homeware sales, in 2015.
Mr Mercer said: "A key plank of Marc Bolland's revival strategy for M&S is to excel as a multi-channel retailer. But multi-channel is no panacea – especially if your product isn't right.
"We think M&S needs a more wide-ranging overhaul that tackles short-term product issues as well as the weakness of its position as mid-market monolith in an age of more targeted propositions.
"In the immediate past it appears to have misfired on fashionability in its core womenswear segment.
"It has seen an ageing of its clothing customer base. Consumer research found M&S's average clothing shopper – at nearly 49-years-old – was by a fair distance the oldest of any major clothing retailer.
"M&S has lost share to rivals with more fashionable offers and more targeted propositions, including Next, Debenhams and John Lewis."

For detailed odds and stats, check out the Fantasy Champions League: Wednesday Cheat Sheet.
2:45 p.m: Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) v. Napoli (Italy)
2:45 p.m: Feyenoord (Netherlands) v. Manchester City (England)
2:45 p.m: Maribor (Slovenia) v. Spartak Moscow (Russia)
2:45 p.m: Liverpool (England) v. Sevilla (Spain)
2:45 p.m: RB Leipzig (Germany) v. AS Monaco (Monaco)
2:45 p.m: FC Porto (Portugal) v. Besiktas (Turkey)
2:45 p.m: Real Madrid (Spain) v. Apoel Nicosia (Cyprus)
2:45 p.m: Tottenham (England) v. Borussia Dortmund (Germany)
Keylor Navas, RM v. APO ($6,000): Navas missed out over the weekend but looks set to return Wednesday. Real Madrid are the biggest favorite on the slate by a wide margin and should coast to an easy win. If you have the funds, Navas looks like an easy 10 fantasy points, at the least.
Jose Reina, NAP at SHK ($5,000): Napoli are firing on all cylinders and, while they�re on the road, they have the firepower to get a result in Ukraine. They have won all five games played this season by a combined score of 13-2, and have kept three clean sheets over that stretch. Reina checks in at a discount compared to the more expensive options at the position.
Marcelo, RMD v. APO ($5,900): Marcelo is good for a dusting of shots and crosses anytime he steps on the field, and in a game where Real Madrid are expected to score goals, it would be no surprise to see the Brazilian show up with a goal or an assist.
Ben Davies, TOT v. BVB ($5,400): Davies takes the occasional corner for Tottenham and has already had at least 10 crosses in two Premier League games this season. He�s consistently putting together double-digit fantasy scores and will look to continue his fine run of form in an attractive matchup with Borussia Dortmund.
Joseph Gomez, LIV v. SEV ($4,100): Gomez has benefited from Nathaniel Clyne being sidelined and has responded well when given the opportunity. If he�s in the lineup he�s fully capable of duplicating his recent 15-point performance against Arsenal, which came through three tackles won, three interceptions, four crosses and an assist. It�s possible that Trent Alexander-Arnold could start instead of Gomez, and he�s a reasonable pivot at $3,800 if that happens.
Christian Eriksen, TOT v. BVB ($8,600): Eriksen drives the Tottenham attack and can pile up shots and crosses in a hurry. Spurs will look to him once again in what could turn into a back-and-forth affair with Borussia Dortmund. He�s fully capable of turning up with a goal or assist, but he provides a safety net through his crossing volume and shots if he doesn�t.
Toni Kroos, RM v. APO ($7,100): Sure, there are flashier names on the board than Kroos, but he�s reasonably priced for a set-piece taker on the biggest favorite of the slate. He�s topped double-digit fantasy points in four straight (including international) appearances, and looks like a slam dunk to make it five in a row at home against APOEL.
Valon Ahmedi, MAR v. SPM ($3,800): Ahmedi compiled 21 fantasy points in Maribor�s two-game UCL playoff win over Hapoel Beer-Sheva through a cluster of crosses, shots and fouls drawn. His price is low enough that he doesn�t have to do a lot to make value, which bodes well for a set-piece taker and key attacker playing at home in what should be a competitive match.
Cristiano Ronaldo, RM v. APO ($10,600): With Ronaldo still serving his La Liga suspension, he�ll be licking his chops at the prospect of feasting on APOEL and padding his Champions League stats. Word out of the Real Madrid camp is that Ronaldo is dying to play Wednesday, and with Karim Benzema out, Ronaldo will shoulder even more of the scoring load. Don�t over think it, make room for Ronaldo.
Roberto Firmino, LIV v. SEV ($7,700): There�s a possibility that Phillipe Coutinho could return to the lineup Wednesday, but I think that only adds to Firmino�s appeal. Sevilla have shown to be exploitable at the back, and with Liverpool looking to kickstart their Champions League campaign, Firmino should have multiple opportunities to contribute in this one.
Emil Forsberg, RBL v. MON ($7,100): Forsberg missed Friday�s game against Hamburger due to illness, but he is back in training and looks set to feature against Monaco. He�s on a share of set pieces, and in what could turn into an entertaining match, Forsberg should have the opportunity to rack up shots and crosses with Leipzig looking to impress at home in their Champions League opener.

Dear Readers and valued clients, this is IASPL top 5 picks for FEB 15. And yes, the happy CNY mood is rubbing off us, hence the Red theme for Feb 15! Good luck with your BTO or renovation flats.
1. Most people have cove or false ceiling. Paint just your pop out area or wall red and you will instantly get a different feel.
1. Most people have cove or false ceiling. Paint just your pop out area or wall red and you will instantly get a different feel.
2. For the lazy people who still want to have a good vibrant feel of your place; just get some bright red carpet and furniture. Your living room commodities may just all fall in place.
3. Most people (me included) usually can only think of designing the walls or ceilings. That is pathetic and boring. Now let us try putting designs on the floor and let your surrounding revolve around your floor! You will surely get a fresh perspective.
4. For the exciting and niche driven beings, try adding some simple splash art on your wall with 3D pop up impression. The 3D pop up can be your REAL lights, thus saving space and giving a visual treat.
5. Pragmatically, red camouflages slight dirtiness if its on the surface. Your brain will be less naggy in making you keep the place clean. Consider getting gloss laminate cabinets. They are easy to maintain, sharp crisp impression, its' reflection enhances the vibe and spaciousness of the environment. That should make your stay at home more chill.
Red generally goes well with gold, white and black to create a modern feel. Here, i'm referring to the bright crimson red!
Think of the following where you can have that splash of red;
1. Carpet
2. Curtain
3. Wall Paper
4. Furniture
5. Light fixtures
6. Choosing proper LED lighting that brings out the red!

Name: Matt CalvaniAge: 31Hometown: Redondo Beach, CaliforniaLabel: Becker SurfboardsYear first shaped board: 1988Team riders: Pascal Stansfield, Geoff Moysa, Jared Lang, Jason Starr, and Travis Mellem.Boards shaped per year: 1,500Tools: Prefers Rockwell planers, the industry standard Skil 100, or Hitachi/Clark Foam planers.
Background: Matt initially started airbrushing-which turned into shaping-and did both under his own label. Around 1992, he began working for Dennis Jarvis under the South Bay of Los Angeles surfboard label Spyder, and he eventually transferred to Becker surfboards in 1995.
Influences: Fellow shapers and their designs are a big influence on Matt. Guys like Timmy Patterson-"He's got an eye for detail," and, of course, he looks up to Al Merrick: "Both of them understand how a board really works, so they really know where specific design features should be-they have a really refined method."
Design philosophy: For Matt, hand-shaping from scratch (instead of using a computer) gives him the ability to customize dimensions for every surfer's needs. "To push the surfer where he needs to go," says Matt. "That's the job of a shaper-to give the customer what he or she needs to get the job done." He prefers this method versus the current popular use of CNC machines, because computers compromise the versatility that hand-shaping gives him: "If the machines were able to do this type of versatility, then it wouldn't be a huge dilemma."
Technical specifics: "I try to keep a lot of things standard, like my rocker and my outlines, but I specifically want to keep the volume correct for the surfers weight and ability so he can have the best performance possible." Matt likes to stick with single concaves through the last third of his boards because anything else isn't really necessary. "Not having too much concave too far up the board gives speed and lift under your feet where you need it. Too much concave too far up gives you lift where you don't need it. This concave method allows more edge sharper in the rail where most guys can't, because concaves too far up create temperamental bottoms-I like it to work in all conditions."
Future outlook: "The materials we have can be refined to the point where they probably shouldn't break and won't compromise design and versatility-staying away from production 'pop-out' boards, but keeping versatility of a handmade one. Companies should work with the raw material manufacturers to create this vision. Everyone should also be conscientious about weight factors because weight works in conjunction with all the design features put into a board. The lighter the board, the more shapes will need to be adjusted."

SANTA MARIA, Calif. - The defense rested Wednesday in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial without putting the pop star on the stand, wrapping up after a three-week effort to portray the accuser and his mother as shakedown artists.

Prosecutors began their rebuttal. The jury could get the case as early as the middle of next week and begin deciding whether Jackson molested a 13-year-old cancer patient at his Neverland ranch in 2003.
Prosecutors cast Jackson, 46, as a pedophile with a history of fondling boys, including the cancer survivor in February or March 2003 at Neverland.
Jackson also is charged with giving the boy alcohol and conspiring to hold his family captive to get them to rebut a damaging TV documentary that recounted Jackson's penchant for letting children sleep in his bed.
Records cite detainee allegations of abuse
WASHINGTON - Suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison told U.S. interrogators as early as April 2002, just three months after the first detainees arrived, that military guards abused them and desecrated the Quran, declassified FBI records say.
"Their behavior is bad," one detainee is quoted as saying of his guards during an interrogation by an FBI special agent in July 2002. "About five months ago the guards beat the detainees. They flushed a Quran in the toilet."
The statements about guards disrespecting the Quran echo public allegations made many months later by some detainees and their lawyers after prisoners' release from Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

Though it's easy to blame our singles-driven, iPod lovin' culture for the lack of cohesive albums that are enjoyable from beginning to end, occasionally we find one that go against the grain. Citizen is one such cause for rejoicing. Hailing from Washington D.C., Army of Me has been making music for nearly 10 years now, but Citizen marks the band's first full-length effort. And if it takes a decade of effort for a band to get it right like this, then I'd recommend the same course of action for others too.
Good things come to those who wait, and listeners can expect really good things from listening to Citizen. The band's roughed-up indie rock sound invites comparisons to Copeland, Death Cab for Cutie and even old-school REM at times, but frontman Vince Scheurerman's distinctive vocals and the band's thoughtful songwriting help them avoid sounding like a copycat. The relatable lead single "Going Through Changes" and the tug-on-the-heartstrings commentary "Better Run" demonstrate the Army of Me's gifts of songcraft and performance.
Keeping things varied musically and lyrically, the band also isn't afraid to deviate from its poppy, radio-friendly foundation either. On the darker, guitar-heavy "Meet You at the Mouth" (which seems to take its lyrical cues from Ecclesiastes), the band showcases diversity without sounding out of place. Equally impressive is the thoughtful, encouraging strains of "Rise," which was inspired by the Asian tsunami after Christmas in 2005.
With such an impressive effort, it's hardly surprising that the band has attracted the attention of mainstream publications like Alternative Press, or that they've landed upcoming gigs with The Warped Tour and Dave Matthews Band. But Army of Me's decidedly counter-culture perspective on the ups and downs of life provide plenty of take-away value to match their quality in sound, establishing them as another quality faith-inspired act that can bridge the gap between Christian and secular audiences.

I have decided to write my most adventurous and creative opus yet: my FACTUAL life story. It is codenamed "The Masterpiece", and select random passages will be culled every so often for your reading enjoyment. Today's selection comes from chapter one, page 14. Enjoy!
"" Many people have asked themselves: Who is Vin Forte?, Why has God graced us with his presence?, And what exactly is he doing in my house? Well, I have an answer for them as well as an answer for the people who didn't ask any questions at all.
I was originally born in the Midwest to parents who could not take me in as their own. I spent many years in and out of foster homes because I was "too good looking" for them. I eventually joined the circus where I became master of ceremonies. But I was eventually kicked out because of my aforementioned rugged good looks.
As I travelled the United States I was thrown out of many schools, not because I was a "trouble-maker" but because I was too smart for my own good. I eventually made it to Michigan and saved a family from a fire in Kalamazoo. Then I traveled to Rhode Island and foiled a bank robbery in Providence. I was hailed as a hero and was awarded many medals. I had hundreds and hundreds of adoring fans and received my own holiday that rivals Christmas.
I eventually made it to New York where I was taken in by parents of undercover FBI agents working against the Gambino crime family. Now I spend my days fighting crime all across the world under an assigned name that allows me not to be noticed by any persons in the media or otherwise, I am known by all as "Pauly Shore". ""

TEWKSBURY TWP. _ The Township Committee listened to concerns from residents regarding a township quarry at its Tuesday, March 12, meeting, as it considers reclamation plans from its operator.
The reclamation plans deal with the fate of the land tract after quarrying is complete at an undetermined point in the future.
Since last July, Stavola Brothers has been operating the quarry, which is located on 360 acres of land, mostly in Tewksbury. Some of the acreage is also in Readington Township, with the Rockaway Creek running through it.
Township Engineer Louis Kneip said at the meeting that Stavola Brothers is "seeking to expand their operation by additional blasting," and that "they're seeking to actually join the upper quarry with the lower quarry as part of the expansion.
"They would like to extend the quarry in a westerly direction," Kneip added.
Representatives for Stavola Brothers, which mines basalt rock, had noted at a previous meeting their intention to be a "good neighbor," adding that there have been no complaints so far with activities at the quarry. They also noted that they have the goal of isolating quarry operations "out of sight from the outside world," and that they wanted to address concerns in the township.
Some residents, though, questioned the reason for a proposed new roadway into the quarry. It was previously proposed by Stavola Brothers representatives.
"I had recommended that they remove the new roadway from the reclamation plan," said Kneip.
Mayor Thomas Kenyon told members of the public that the Township Committee favors a reclamation plan which calls for the revegetation of the quarry after abandonment. The committee rejected a plan to have a golf course on the tract as part of the reclamation.
"I remember the very first time they came, they had a golf course," said Kenyon.
Also, one resident, Charles Cure, said he was worried about any increase in the amount of trucks going to the quarry.
"I can't get out of our street now with the trucks in the morning," he said.
"When they come rolling by, I mean, they're nose to nose," he said.
David Peifer, Executive Director of the Upper Raritan Watershed Association, referring to an additional proposed reclamation plan, said "As far as the reforestation effort (planting of trees) is concerned, I think it's a great idea."
"We certainly support that," he said.
With respect to maintaining a good relationship with the quarry operators, Kenyon said, "We're trying to be as careful as we can.
"I think we are trying to do our very best to keep everything in place without spending the rest of our life in court," he said.
"We put in an ordinance that has been tested in court, and has won, not once but twice," Kenyon said.
"I, too, am concerned about the blasting," said Kenyon, citing his agreement with some residents who also spoke out about the concern of blasting, for which a siren will sound before it begins.
He said the committee understands the situation, "but we have to be extremely careful."
Kenyon said that a change in zoning would do no good. "No matter how we change the zoning (if the committee were to), the quarry's there, it's been there, and (they) can still use it until they run out of the rock, basically _ unfortunately."
Further discussions on the quarry will take place at a the committee's Tuesday, April 9, meeting.
