text: MADSION -- Murder, sexual abuse and other crimes ranging from wanton endangerment to child neglect and drug offenses made up the latest set of grand jury indictments returned last week in Boone County Circuit Court.The grand jury indicted 26 individuals in its April 2013 term.Included in the grand jury indictments was Maura Shea Perry for one count of first degree murder and one count of grand larceny.Perry, 20, of Hamlin, is accused in the shooting death of Jimmie Cooper, 71, whose body was discovered Sept. 26, 2012, after his co-workers reported that he had not shown up for work.The decomposing body of Cooper was found inside his trailer home in Peytona. The man had been missing for about a week, according to investigators.Cooper was first discovered when co-workers were concerned because they had not seen the victim for several days and failed to report to his job. When checking on Cooper, they found the door to his residence partially open and notified the Sheriff's Office, who checked the home and discovered the victim's body.The home did show signs of a forced entry and the mans car was missing. The vehicle has since been recovered in Putnam County, investigators said.In magistrate court, prior to the grand jury indictment, a deputy testified that Perry had confessed to the crime, saying she shot Cooper with his own .38-caliber gun as he lay in his bed at his home in Peytona. The deputy said the suspect said she had been planning to poison Cooper, but she was not able to get the drugs.Investigators believe that Cooper was killed by a single gunshot wound to the head as he lay in his bed at home.Investigators also said that Perry had an ongoing relationship with the victim and stole property after the murder, which she pawned to facilitate her drug usage.Deputies recovered Cooper's car at a park and ride at Scott Depot, in Putnam County on Thursday, where it had been abandoned. Several items have been recovered from pawn shops in the Kanawha Valley area that belonged to the victim. Also indicted was Cecil R. Wight on five counts of first degree sexual abuse and five counts of sexual abuse by a person in a position of trust.Police charged Wight with preying on young girls in a trailer park in Bim. Wight, 65, of Huntington, was originally charged on April 17, 2012, with sexual assault after police claimed he had touched children inappropriately.Wight was arrested Tuesday afternoon, April 17, 2012, at a trailer he owns in Bim, which is along W.Va. 85, near Wharton in Boone County.Police said the mothers of two 6-year-olds came forward with inappropriate sexual allegations against Wight. Then, a third victim, a 9-year-old girl, has since come forward.The victims say the alleged abuse has been going on since summer of 2011, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case."One of his last comments to me was that he loves looking at little girls' butts, 'They're so cute,'" Wight reportedly told police.Police said Wight, who lives in Huntington, frequently drove to the mobile home in Bim and spent extended amounts of time there.Police said residents were irate.He said someone broke windows in both Wight's vehicle and mobile home. Wight's belongings also had been tampered with.Troopers had no suspects in that incident.The mother of one of the 6-year-old victims told troopers that her daughter told her "Cecil the old man" had been taking pictures of her while she changed clothes in his home and had touched her genitals on several occasions, according to a criminal complaint.Trooper E.B. McClung went to Wight's home to speak with him about the incident. Wight allowed the officer to search his home.McClung found a cellphone with pictures of the 6-year-old victim's partially clothed lower body and of the girl in panties and a training bra.Wight spoke freely to the trooper while he searched the home and told the officer he knew why he was there although the officer never questioned him at the home about sexual contact with the child.Wight told the trooper he often cleaned the child and washed her bottom when she has had accidents . . . on herself. He went on to say that when he washed her, he always checked her with his hands "to make sure she is clean, and may have touched her private area when doing so," according to the complaint.The child told troopers Wight touched her and exposed him to her and made her touch him.Wight told police about cleaning the girl, but added that "he may have hurt her in this process," the complaint said.Police said Wight does not have an extensive criminal history in West Virginia. Also, indicted was David Richard Stollings on three counts of wanton endangerment involving a firearm and two counts of malicious assault.Stollings, 52, is accused of shooting of another Boone County man as well as for assaulting another local woman.According to investigators, the alleged incident began shortly before 11 p.m., Aug. 29, 2011, when Stollings was at the residence of Steven Smith, at Ottawa and victims Melissa Workman and Timothy Workman were present also at the Smith residence.According to investigators, an alleged argument over drugs took place between Stollings and Melissa Workman, which in turn led to Stollings striking Workman in the face with a pistol.The situation escalated when Workman's brother Timothy Workman became involved in the altercation.When the incident came to a conclusion, Timothy Workman was allegedly shot once in the leg by Stollings, according to investigators.Other indictements include: Lawrence W. Doss with one count of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of sexual abuse by a person in a position of trust. Kayla Osborne with two counts of third degree sexual assault by unlawfully and feloniously engaging in sexual intercourse with a minor child, then being less than 16 years of age and at least four years younger than her. Donald J. Toler with 27 counts of purchase, receipt, acquisition and possession of substances to be used as a precursor to manufacture of methamphetamine or another controlled substance and one count of conspiracy. Walter Lee Hill with two counts of breaking and entering, one count of grand larceny and one count of felony attempted grand larceny. Harlon Sherman Toler with one count of grand larceny. Christopher Priestly with one count of bringing stolen property into the state and one count of felony conspiracy. Danny R. Griffy with one count of bringing stolen property into the state and one count of felony conspiracy. Timothy A. Loudermilk with two counts of cruelty to animals and two counts of attempted cruelty to animals. Scott D. Thompson with two counts of cruelty to animals and two counts of attempted cruelty to animals. Chasity Ann Adams with three counts of delivery of a controlled substance and two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. James Brimhall with four counts of delivery of a controlled substance and five counts of person prohibited from possessing a firearm. Regan Cook with one count of burglary, one count of petit larceny, one count of no operators license and one count of operating a vehicle without insurance. Brandon Davis with two counts of burglary, one count of petit larceny, one count of brandishing and four counts of assault. Timothy Dolin with one count of forgery, one count of uttering and one count of fraud and related activity in connection with access devices. Bobby Frye with two counts of conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance. Matthew Harper with two counts of fraud and related activity in connection with access devices and two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card. Connie Jenkins with four counts of delivery of a controlled substance. Cory Allen Holstine with one count of daytime burglary with breaking and one count of delivery of a controlled substance. Cody Massey with one count of manufacturing controlled substance. James E. Mitchell with one count of delivery of a controlled substance.

Much like how hardcore TES fans wanted 1st person even though traditional MMO fans didnt care, it was added in because it doesnt hurt anyone.
Why arent there raids? We know there might be world bosses, but we dont know if it will drop worthy loot or be more of a fun thing to do.
When you look at an MMO, you go "Okay, so how will the game LAST?" and as awesome as Cyrodill sounds, with no Arena/arranged smaller scale PvP things to do, I dont see the game surviving off Cyrodill alone.
Being able to do the other factions zones once youre capped? Awesome. Really awesome. Designed for the single player guys who dont want to play with others or if youre just intrigued with the zones and want to experience them without re-rolling.
They say the game "really opens up" at 50, but how does it open up that much for traditional MMORPG fans? A lot of people wont want to do the other factions.
How do designed 10-20 main Raids with unique fights and unique drops hurt anyone? (But not necessarily the best, or whats the harm with making them on-par with crafting or atleast unique items? So you can get unique crafting-only items and unique raiding-only items) Just like people arent forced to do the other factions, you arent forced to Raid or PvP.
I dont know, I imagine after youve played the game for 2 months and dungeons no longer give you better gear due to crafting, maybe the hype of Cyrodill goes away. Then where is the appeal? They'd need to be adding dungeons and more world bosses.
I guess I just dont get where raiding hurts this MMORPG. Just because it has Elder Scrolls in the title? Much like 1st person was appeased for TES fans, I dont see the harm here.
If the answer is "You're forced to gear up through crafting/doing the other factions" Then what is the difference between forcing people to do Raids to gear up? And they dont even have to force people to Raid -- But give them the option atleast for on-par items or unique items. Maybe they can make unique items from the 3rd faction zone you complete, unique items from crafting, and unique items from raiding. Doesn't everybody win? You wouldnt be forced to do it, but maybe it gives you some cool gear that would benefit a certain build type.
Before anyone thinks I'm a hater: I'm not. Buying this game Day 1 and super excited. Just a question I have.

I dont think it's about harm dude.I think it's about time.
Time is money and guess what companies care only for your money and not what you want.
Once they get all your money they dont care.
1st person may be more easy to be implemented than raids which means less time which again means MORE MONEY FOR THEM!!
If they plan to add in Raids I'm fine with that. But from what someone linked, it sounds like they never want raiding.
And I just try to imagine what MMORPG fans (and not necessarily hardcore Elder Scrolls fans) would do after a couple months. As far as we know, there is no PvP gear to be gained from Cyrodill and its just for fun. Crafting is already confirmed to atleast be one of if not the best tool to get the best gear. Although dungeons are supposed to give "good gear" but thats like comparing Heroics and Raids in WoW if you ask me, there IS a clear difference.
As much as die hard Elder Scrolls fans want to say "This is OUR game" it is an MMORPG too. If this game is subscription based, I struggle to see where subscription numbers increase compared to decrease after a couple months

if Zenimax adds raids and instanced dungeons to TESO they have to do a really good job with them so the game doesnt become a gear grinder like other mmos. Im not expecting that experience out of a TES mmo. So if tahts what we are going to get for a TES mmo (a dungeon threadmill progression game) ill be happy to stick to TES single player games.
Thats just me and i hope its not the case. Instead add persistent raiding or something.

See, but just play devils advocate on that point. Why should I HAVE to do other factions to get better gear? What if I'm satisfied questing wise after capping my level? Just like people in traditional MMORPGs feel like they are obligated to gear but dont want to Raid.
Why should I HAVE to craft to get the best gear in the game? You can play that on two major points advertised in the game.
Why CANT I raid to get equivalent gear or atleast unique gear? If the game is about choice, it doesnt sound like you have much choice -- Do all the factions, and craft and trade with other expertise crafters. Maybe World Bosses drop sexy loot, we have no ideas but World Bosses are/were confirmed.

Why no raids? Because raids are freaking boring. They exist simply to addict the gamer to the game with a regular dopamine hit and extend a games life by adding boring content you have to do a hundred times over to get your 'l33t g34r!' Kill me now!
There are several successful MMOGs around now that don't have raids. It's my hope they die a horrible death.

Raiding is fine, just not a rinse and repeat mechanic to get better stuff and then becoming a tier grind. Not only its generic, it doesnt belong in TES world. Thats also why i said why not instead have persistent raiding. It should be more fun, even more social, and more massive.

People who are expecting this game to be just like other Elder Scrolls games are mistaken. This is an MMORPG. They require longevity. And I fail to see the longevity in Cyrodill and crafting. After a couple months the people who will have wanted to explore all 3 factions will have already done so.
Then what? We're left to dungeons that apparently will have cool fights but drop inferior gear to crafting? Unless the monsters in dungeons drop unique crafting materials or unique/great gear, I dont see a point to do dungeons.
This game is gonna be a grind whether you want it to be or not. It's an MMORPG. There is no way to avoid best gear item grinding. It's gonna happen whether there are raids or not. I dont see the harm in Raids, and I'm not gonna respond to the guy with the "trolol i hate raids and hope they die" because he refused to play both sides. If I'm forced to craft and do all 3 factions for the best gear, I'm still being FORCED, which is what people complain about with Raiding. Why not make all 3 optional -- You can get unique gear from crafting, from completing the 3rd faction, and from Raiding. Not necessarily BETTER, but unique so like "Oh, I've heard this item is good for this build I'm doing, so I'll have fun experiencing that and getting upgrades." I'm not even against unique items from doing Cyrodill enough or something, but I know a lot of people would be like "BRO THAT ISNT ELDER SCROLLS" This is an MMORPG that is mass advertised/hyped about, it already isnt gonna be like Skryim. But that is okay because when you see the game and read about it and see the world and characters and such it feels like an Elder Scrolls game

I think this is probably most accurate.
Also, when you make one raid available, people will assume you will continue to make more as time goes on. How much time does creating and balancing a raid require? How many people have to be on that team? How often do new raids come out?
Furthermore, I think it is kind of a risk to put out progression raids, with little reward. The percentage of a population who aggressively raids is small. If ZOS created raiding content, it would inevitably be compared to the gold standard WoW raids. This is an assumption, but I am willing to guess not too many dev teams have the experience required to make a raid that is on par with WoW's content, nor the ability to make them continuously. Other features will be expected as well, like an LFR system, to make raids accessible to the largest audience possible.
All of this boils down to time and resources required vs. return on that investment. I'm guessing they decided it wasnt worth it.

Raids just doesn't complement the skill system / diversity. You have to min - max everything for raids and this is just bad for the design of TESO.

It's one of the better design decisions they've made. Raids are over rated and limit progression to raiding alone. Raids in your game don't allow for equal progression through other avenues, and focus the game around that content.

I've never been a raider in any of the games I've played (mostly pre-Cata WoW), and having no raids doesn't really bother me. But, what I'd like to know: What is so amazing in TESO's PvP that keeps you logging on every single day after you've hit the max level?
I've recently played Champions of Regnum with my friend and learned it's just a quest grind 'till near max lvl, mob grind for there on, and then PvP to siege bases that change owner from one to another.
Now, I'm almost certain there will be no mob grind part in TESO, but exactly how does the PvP have an impact for the rest of the game, and why would I want as a member of a faction X to perform well in PvP (other than the usual 'it's fun to wtfpwn other players')? I know crafting is an important way to improve your gear (and i'm very happy this is the case), but how does doing well in PvP benefit your faction?
If the answer is 'no, it doesn't really matter wether you win or lose in PvP', then I'm very disappointed there's no raids or other stuff to do for those that doesn't care about PvP. Four (or five) man dungeons are not enough to keep your players busy in these modern MMOs (they were in WoW when it was its prime).

Why would there be raids? Few people like raids, and those few are already very well catered to. Going after a niche market that you can have all to yourself sometimes makes sense, but going after a niche market that already has more competition than the size of the market can justify does not.
If they did have raids, then everyone would expect raids to give far and away the best gear. If they didn't, then raiders wouldn't be satisfied, and would go elsewhere, so no one would like the raids. Rather than put all that work into creating content that everyone hates even if it's done very well, why not spend the same effort creating content that people might actually like?
Theres was no raids in Daggerfall so it must be good for TESO. i dont know,maybe they have bigger plans....

Logic be damned!
Umm I really like large group dungeons. I want content I can participate in with a sizable chunk of my guild.
It creates unity and bonding.
Large group means you can have a diverse selection of roles you can't really get away with in smaller group content.
I think that NOT putting raiding in is a mistake.
Public/open world large group stuff is mostly a joke as is proven by GW2 and RIFT - all zerg no coordination or real skill needed.
People WANT large group content for their guild.
Thinking that it HAS to be solo > small group > large group progression and gear progression is YOUR limited vision.
"If you build it they will come" would completely work with Raid content - doesn't have to have "better" gear.
Unique looks and acheivments etc. is fine.
Power curve can be flat.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

But then back on topic, nowhere it states that there will not be raids in this game, it just says there probably will be no raids at release.... Release is only the first step in the lifecycle of an MMO.
Raids are fine as long as they are not the only endgame provided.

If "no raids" turns out to be true they better have something good to replace it, "no end game" is considered one of the worst things about gw2 and hurt the game, lack of content in their end game is what killed swtor (and many other theme park mmo's.
Seems like a real stupid move to me

I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
you either focus on raids (instanced endgame) or on open world engame.
sure, here we dont have a real open world, but i'd say the end content will be more interesting than trying to gather 9 friends, make em all play the propper class and then raid twice a week.
lovely to see how the pvers wont get the end content of this game :)
they seem to focus on their pvp zone alot, it has 3 or more mentions in their official preview.
you want raids? don't we already have enough of them around?

SAN FRANCISCO — With a little more than two weeks to go before their wedding, Emily Dreyfuss' fiance ordered a tie and pocket square from Gap chain Banana Republic's website to go with his Navy blue suit.
What the couple got in the mail instead on Thursday would make an identity thief giddy: the confidential files of about 20 former employees, including Social Security numbers and W4 tax forms.
"We totally laughed," Dreyfuss, 29, said on Friday from her home in Cambridge, Mass.
She had misgivings about the package as soon as it arrived. It was really heavy and didn't say Banana Republic, but Gap Inc.
She and her fiance have been buying each other presents, and she thought it may have been a really heavy piece of clothing with catalogs, said Dreyfuss, the daughter of actor Richard Dreyfuss.
When he opened the package, inside were three folders sealed with tape and labeled "HR Administration." They contained tax and Social Security information as well as handwritten resignation letters, doctors' notes and salary information – seemingly the employees' entire record at the company. The employees were sales support associates and at least one made $9 an hour, Dreyfuss said.
Dreyfuss, who runs the home page and also writes for technology website, CNET, said she didn't look through everything.
"I got a queasy feeling and felt like I should stop looking at this," she said.
San Francisco-based Gap Inc. blamed the mix-up on a human mistake.
"We're taking immediate action to evaluate and strengthen our processes to prevent mis-mailings in the future and apologize for the error," spokeswoman Edie Kissko said in a statement.
Dreyfuss said a Banana Republic representative has since responded to a tweet about the mix-up and apologized for what he called a "horrible mistake."
He said clothing and employee information is sent out in the same type of gray plastic bag. The employee information appears to have been mislabeled in this case. The representative said the store would look into what went wrong and informing the former employees, Dreyfuss said. They will send her a self-addressed, stamped envelope to return the information in.
Ironically, Dreyfuss said her fiancee recently received someone else's welcome packet from his new employer, with that employee's salary and Social Security number.
Dreyfuss said the episode with Banana Republic raises concerns about how well the company is safeguarding customer information if even its employees' information can be compromised.
"People should know about this because it's crazy and scary," she said.
In her statement, Kissko said the company takes the confidentiality of personal information very seriously.
Dreyfuss was offered a free tie and pocket handkerchief – a $61 value, but said she declined.

U.S. Sen. Richard Burr toured the Ottenweller Company, a metal fabrication firm in Mount Airy, Wednesday afternoon on a type of business fact finding mission.
"I had just arrived from visiting two very different types of businesses, one in King and Ottenweller," said Burr. "I wanted to find out about what is going on in this county economically (in regards to jobs being created and expanding) and try to determine what will be North Carolina's positioning in the future."
Burr said his personal feeling was the state had to do a lot better job of supporting firms who supply manufacturers because of higher wages typically provided by these skilled positions.
Plant Manager Jim Trixler and Human Resources Manager Barbara Embry led Burr on the tour of the facility which include the fabrication facility's welding shops featuring robotic operations and another operational area featuring a 14 1/2-foot wide and 53-foot long plasma table where a laser could precisely cut parts from steel.
Trixler told Burr important factors in the company being located in Mount Airy was its access to the interstate, the availability of steel in the region and a skilled workforce. He said another consideration was having the company's needs for electrical power met.
"What can we (in Washington) do to help your business, other than going away," joked Burr.
The two appeared to agree that an approach supporting greater partnerships between business, community colleges and local school systems where all the costs are not shouldered on one partner would allow business to expand due to a larger skilled workforce.
"We are already getting involved with local high schools and Surry Community College to get the word out," said Trixler. "Our goal is for everyone to take a tour through here. Fabrication jobs are not what they once were. New facilities are more like where medical equipment was manufactured. We want to dispel rumors that fabrication is a dirty, nasty job."
Burr agreed and said the state needs to more actively seek ways to bolster businesses who support manufacturing.
Trixler later said that estimates have set the shortage of welders across the U.S. at more than 200,000. He noted that all welders at Ottenweller are certified by the American Welding Society. He characterized the new fabrication workforce as an "energetic, young group" with an average age of 30 years.
When asked if this profile was similar to a similar workforce which stepped up to man the lines during WWII, he agreed and admitted at times in the profession's past, hot, dirty conditions existed.
"Look around at this plant. We have a bright, clean facility," said Trixler. "It's true welding is essentially melting two pieces of metal together and that takes place in a hot environment and that unfortunately makes air conditioning unrealistic."
He said a little more than six years ago the fabrication market in the region was untapped and plans on continuing to reach out to the community for recruitment and his membership in the Mount Airy Professional of Surry.
"It is absolutely wonderful to have Senator Burr visit one of our local industries," said Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce Director Betty Ann Collins, who also participated in the tour. "We had our governor here last week, and Congressman Howard Coble also has visited Ottenweller, so we have been blessed of late with elected officials visiting such a stellar plant."
Collins said she hopes to see more women in the fabrication workforce and thinks they could have an advantage in some operations which rely on attention to details. She said in a time when people are out of work or changing jobs, it is good that women are looking at options.

In the last week of 2012, President Vladimir V. Putin signed a bill banning the adoption of Russian children by American citizens. The action dealt a serious blow to an already strained diplomatic relationship, but for many immersed in the costly, complicated adoption process, the impact is deeply personal.
"I think it's a real shame that those children in Russia are the ones that are going to be suffering," said Michelle Goings, a mother of children adopted from Russia. "They need good homes, no matter where the parents come from."
Michelle Goings and husband Jason adopted two boys from Russia and are part of a community locally in which around 30 children were placed in the Central Savannah River Area from one orphanage. The Goings family feel strongly about the change in policy, which will stop many other families having their lives enriched in the way they have.
The adoption ban has angered both Americans and Russians who argue it victimizes children to make a political point, cutting off a route out of frequently dismal orphanages for thousands. When signed into law, the bill not only stopped future adoptions but abruptly terminated the prospects of more than 50 youngsters preparing to join new families.
The new policy is reported to increase investment in the care of orphaned children and children with special needs.
However, Goings said she believes that the children in the Russian orphanages she witnessed are well taken care of but that the issue goes beyond care.
"That's not the point. If there's a chance for a placement in the families, it should be allowed to happen," she said. "It's just a shame."
No matter how well the fostering services take care of children, "it's still nothing like a home environment," Goings added.
The ban is reported to be a response to a measure signed into law by President Barack Obama in November that calls for sanctions against Russians assessed to be human rights violators. Although some top Russian officials, including the foreign minister, openly opposed the bill, Putin signed it less than 24 hours after receiving it from Parliament, where it passed both houses overwhelmingly.
The law took effect Jan. 1, the Kremlin said. Children's rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov said 52 children who were in the pipeline for U.S. adoption would remain in Russia.

Google Instant is supposed to make searching faster, but you need a pretty good Internet connection, a modern browser and a decent computer. Google Instant is not available if you use IE6 or other outdated browsers and it's automatically disabled if you have a slow Internet connection.
Now Google also disables Instant if you have a slow computer. "If Instant gets automatically disabled, we continue to check your computer speed and will re-enable Instant if your performance improves," informs Google. If you don't like this change, you can disable it from the search preferences page. Just select "always show Instant results" in the "Google Instant predictions" section.
I've tested this feature on an old laptop and Google's implementation isn't great. Google Instant continues to be enabled for the initial query even if it's slow, then it's suddenly disabled when you visit Google Search again. Google doesn't show a message next to the search box to explain why Instant is disabled and not many people will visit the search preferences page, which both an explanation and a fix.
This is just one of the 17 updates from last month that improved Google Search.

AUSTIN, Texas - Junior Reindell Cole claimed the men's long jump with a season-best of 25-5.25 (7.75) to highlight Cal State Northridge's performance at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays at Mike A. Myers Stadium at the University of Texas.
Cole defeated second place Bryce Lamb of Texas Tech in jumps. The junior from Las Vegas, Nev., reached 7.75 meters on his second jump of the competition.
Also for the Matador men, Alex Butler finished sixth in the shot put posting a season-best of 57-0 (17.37) which was just ahead of teammate Derek Cooper who placed eight with a mark of 56-2 (17.12). Cooper also competed in the discus where he was 13th with a best of 166-2 (50.65).
On the track, the Matadors competed a quartet of sprinters in the 100 meters. Senior Bradley Ike finished 13th in qualifying with a time of 10.56 to lead the Matador contingent. Cole ran a season-best 10.77 to finish 33rd followed by Ben Santos (10.78) and David Reid (11.06).
For the Northridge women, Morgan Bogard finished a team-best third in the discus with a season-best 157-3 (47.93). Her throw is just off her lifetime-best of 157-8. In the javelin, Stephanie Ralls placed 13th with a best of 153-2 (46.69) and Whitney Hooks was eighth in the shot put after approaching her season-best with a mark of 45-10.75 (13.99).

Last Spring, Edward A. Hatfield wrote for Southern Spaces on the challenges of transportation planning in the Atlanta metro area, analyzing the complex mobility politics of a southern urban center. A recent New York Times article highlights similar transportation issues plaguing rural communities in Texas. After buying rural routes from the Kerrville Bus Company in 2012, the discount travel company Megabus recently discontinued service to small towns in Texas' Southwest Area Regional Transit District, leaving much of the state without intercity transportation, mirroring challenges in providing adequate public transportation to rural communities across the US South and beyond.
In an update to Dan Carter's recent assessment of the political tumult in North Carolina government, the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against North Carolina's restrictive voting law, following the precedent it set by challenging a similar voter identification bill in Texas. Both North Carolina and Texas passed voter identification laws following the Supreme Court's ruling to overturn key provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. As Steve Suits argued persuasively in his analysis of the resurgence of state sovereignty arguments, the long-term impact of this historic Supreme Court decision and subsequent voter identification bills remains to be seen.
Appalachian activist and poet Wendell Berry published a new poetry collection titled This Day: New and Collected Sabbath Poems, documenting and exploring Berry's habitual Sunday strolls on his farm in Kentucky. Earlier this year, Berry was awarded the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, in recognition of his lifelong dedication to literary explorations of community and conservation. Contributing the forward to Erik Reece and James Krupa's recent publication The Embattled Wilderness, Berry reminds readers of the fragile balance between man, market, and the landscapes they inhabit.
The old women began arriving in the domino room of the Chauvin Library, where my dad suggested I1 go film as part of my fieldwork. I propped myself up in the corner of the room, making small talk in Cajun French even though my "project" tries to avoid nativist ideologies about Louisiana culture.2 I saw that a completely out of place person had walked in. I immediately recognized her as one of my own3—a strange feeling when one is already "home" and is certain that this person is from elsewhere.
|Selfie at dawn on a trawl boat, Chauvin, Louisiana, June 2013. Photograph by Lindsey Feldman.
A week and a half later, Lindsey and I took selfies at sunrise on a trawl boat in Lake Boudreaux. Our projects in Louisiana were radically different: she was from Tucson, Arizona, working in Louisiana as part of a government-funded anthropology initiative that has been in Louisiana for fifteen years, her dissertation will be on prisoners. I work in straight-up theory, writing about how people perform their culture and where the fantasies that govern their actions come from.
Over the next month, we4 sort of fell into a rhythm of collaborative ethnography. We began interviewing people in tandem, exploring a place that was new and strange for Lindsey and more or less familiar and invisible for me. This emerging situation began to blur the lines between our two positions as researchers, a process that is apparent in our writing about this experience, a shift from the first-person singular to the first-person dual, from the subjective (and/or objective) voice to something else: a practice of collaborative perspective.
The choice to write as "we" is a decision to both duplicate vision and to unify it, to see something less bound by our disciplines and imaginations. It is also a way to alternatively navigate the space of the anthropological field, here being Chauvin, Louisiana, a small "census-designated place" in southern Louisiana. The following is a selection of fieldnotes from June 2013.5
We went trawling on Boudreaux Canal at sunset with a married couple who claimed that they didn't need to belong to a church, didn't need a priest or a pastor, because God blessed them with every good catch and there's no place of worship like the hull of a boat.
We drove past the dock where we eventually went on our first trawl-boat ethnography extravaganza, and there was the smell of it. Somebody had left some shrimp peelings in a garbage can to ferment in the heat of Louisiana June.
We sat at a long wooden dining table in Chauvin with Christopher's grandpa so Lindsey could conduct an interview, and he served us snowballs the right way—stuffed—with cherry flavoring and condensed milk.
|Trawling at dawn, route. Satellite imagery courtesy of Google Earth.
We want trawling in Lake Boudreaux at sunrise. One shrimper was from the days when men were shrimpers. His voice was deep and gravely enough to be heard over the boat's motors. He had an apprentice who wore a rubber bracelet with a single word: "Work." We came full of coffee thermoses because it was four in the morning. We were nervous about being too late for the launch.
|Work bracelet, Chauvin, Louisiana, June 2013. Photograph by Lindsey Feldman.
We snuck out of a Cajun dance hall—overstimulated with the visible spectacle of an over-conscious culture, overburdened with the responsibility of being responsible, needing something quiet involving still water, heavy air, and cigarettes.
We found the ideal situation in which to transcribe interviews and type observations was in a room half-floored, with frozen daiquiris, and an episode of True Blood on the horizon.
We created a brief and incomplete taxonomy of sheds:
- abandoned storage units, collapsed by storms, sometimes housing the bones of small animals;
- rabbit coops overgrown with blackberry vines, lichen, and other muds;
- sheds frozen in time circa 1998, filled with tackleboxes, house siding, oxygen tanks, and gigantic spiders; and
- work areas that are walled rooms beneath raised houses, filled with industrial machines lost to history, cable boxes and plugs, and regular tools (see footnote six).
|Shed, Chauvin, Louisiana, June 2013. Photograph by Lindsey Feldman.
We dealt with Christopher's dad's junk.6
We drove east to the next bayou over to find a place to play pool, to engage in a night resembling the mundane, and found ourselves in the back of a fast food restaurant drinking Coors Light from bottles, chalking cues where we were the only customers.
We ate crawfish among Southern Baptists at Christopher's friend's engagement party, discussing ethnographies of alternative sexual communities. Everyone had gone inside, except us and the mosquitos, which swarmed us no matter how many box fans we directed towards them. We jumped a rope fence, sort of. We itched for days. We were met with only some suspicion.
We went to see Great Gatsby at an extravagantly nice movie theater in New Orleans, a disruption in the flow of down-the-bayou aesthetic, and we remarked that being served parmesan flavored popcorn by waitstaff seemed appropriate while watching that particular film.
We sat in a mansion in Houma—one that is once a year a haunted house—and ate seeds from mason jars while talking politics with a local community organizer and his tenant, another grad student doing interviews.7
Perhaps the presence of researchers in Louisiana (or any location) should be looked at as an opportunity to practice seeing with others. Our fieldnotes are not fieldnotes in that archetypal sense, though they hold the ghost of the classical fieldnote. They're punctuated by experience rather than a strict chronology. They were written from memory—specifically, memory delimited by another person. These fieldnotes are conversations.
|Ghost selfie, Chauvin, Louisiana, June 2013. Photograph by Christopher Lirette.
They are conversations literally and figuratively. We talked to each other in the process of writing them, and we travelled together while doing research. And we spoke with people in Chauvin, and were part of their lives. We travelled with them too. The word conversation comes from conversatio, or "living with," which itself comes from con (with) and verso (to turn). These fieldnotes are not just observations but the relics of a time spent living together, with each other, with a place, with a people. We're exploring a method of research that might allow us as anthropologists to critically examine the people and places beyond our own imaginaries, to let them see us. It can mean letting people in on the cover up.
- 1. The blog post starts with the voice of Christopher, since we were having a hard time beginning in a plural voice. Also, his voice has previously appeared on the Southern Spaces blog.
- 2. For instance, the ideologies that promote a romantic Cajun nationalism where everyone speaks perfect Louisiana French and, I guess, traps nutria for a living.
- 3. Twenty-something creative types, generally seen wearing thick-framed glasses.
- 4. We being, for the rest of this post, Lindsey and Christopher.
- 5. We conceive of the concept of "fieldnotes" as an archetypal form. Fieldnotes are, for anthropologists intent on following tradition, the symbols of professional identity and ethnographic authority. From the time of Bronislaw Malinowski, the father of modern anthropological fieldwork (i.e., getting out of the armchair and into the real world; see Malinowski's seminal work, Argonauts of the Western Pacific [London: George Routledge and Sons, 1932]), fieldnotes have become material markers of doing ethnography. Fieldnotes are made up of daily logs, filled with short conversations or encounters, and some proto-analysis of what was seen. Fieldnotes are also the site of thick description, which is the act of writing down, through a hyper-awareness of the place the researcher is temporarily occupying, the seemingly minute details of everyday life. This is important because, as Clifford Geertz—the first to practice and name thick description—explains, we may not notice the difference between a wink or a twitch without the context that surrounds it. See Geertz, The Interpretation of Cultures (New York: Basic Books, 1973), 6.
- 6. Actually, by junk we mean a more or less complete material history of labor, culture, and religion in Chauvin in the "long" twentieth century. He began with a family tree project that quickly became a collection of family photos, which began to amass heirlooms, furniture, machinery, and local publications dating back to the 1860s and encompassing much more than his own genealogy.
- 7. Apparently, 2013 will be remembered as "the year grad students descended upon south Louisiana to work their ethnographies."
New Adventures in Tandem Ethnography»
The Bulletin compiles news from in and around the US South. We hope these posts will provide space for lively discussion and debate regarding issues of importance to those living in and intellectually engaging with the US South.
- The Equality of Opportunity project, a research initiative led by four economists from Harvard and Berkeley, released a working paper detailing the variation in income-mobility across the US States's "commuting zones." Unsurprisingly, parts of the US South did not make a good showing in terms of upward mobility. The study proposes that a lack of upward mobility is correlated to the presence commuter zones that have sprawling neighborhoods segregated by race and income, lower quality K–12 education, and a higher proportion of single-parent families. If you live in Atlanta, where Southern Spaces is based, then these descriptions are probably feeling familiar. Research agrees: Atlanta, which ranked the fifth worst of the one hundred largest commuter zones in the study (worst here meaning the least likely for children born to low-income families to ever rise out of poverty), was used by The New York Times and Atlanta Magazine to illustrate these correlations. Nevertheless, this study only identified elements correlated to a lack of upward mobility without regard for causation. So if you'd like to know why a sprawling metropole ranks so low while other such commuter zones (such as Houston) rank higher, you might want to consider using this project's data to launch a study of your own.
- Following up on Shelby County v. Holder, the case that struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965, the US Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration set in process actions that would reinstate the voting law preclearance in Texas, bringing a case to a federal court in Texas that would invoke Section 3(c) of the VRA, a section that gives the federal government authority to add districts to the preclearance list if there is substantial evidence of discriminatory voting practices. Using Section 3(c) would give the federal government full rights to enforce Section 5, the part of the VRA that actually calls for preclearance but is now moot due to the Supreme Court overruling Section 4(b), the provision that populated the list of jurisdictions that required preclearance. If Holder's strategy succeeds in Texas, the reinstatement of blocked voting laws in states with a history of racial discrimination might be short-lived.
- Though sodomy laws were declared unconstitutional in 2003 by the Supreme Court, an East Baton Rouge Sheriff's department has busted upwards of twelve men since 2011 with Louisiana's outdated sodomy law. According to the Baton Rouge Advocate, the department sent male undercover officers to cruise for men in Manchac park, wired for surveillance. After engaging in flirty banter with a target, the undercover agent would suggest they take the conversation to his apartment for "some drinks and some fun." The agent would then suggest they practice safe sex using condoms, before arresting the unsuspecting target. The charge? Attempting a crime against nature. The Sheriff's department offered an explanation on Facebook: "To our knowledge, the Sheriff's office was never contacted or told that the law was not enforceable or prosecutable." None of the last twelve case actually made it to court, since District Attorney Hillar Moore III found no evidence of any crimes committed. Louisiana is not alone in having anti-sodomy laws still on the books: it is "illegal" to engage in oral or anal sex in fourteen states and Michigan was caught doing special "sting" operations targeting gay men in 2011.
- In other sodomy news, Virginia Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli has launched a campaign to bring back Virginia's anti-sodomy law.1 He argues that without an anti-sodomy law (here defined again as oral or anal sex) prosecutors have no way to convict sexual predators who would target children, despite the cornucopia of both state and federal laws that are still in effect.2 In 2009, Cuccinelli argued, "homosexual acts are . . . intrinsically wrong. And I think in a natural law based country, it's appropriate to have policies that reflect that." Though the Supreme Court struck down sodomy laws in 2003, they remain in the Virginia Code. A federal appeals court specifically struck down this statute this March in the course of a case where an adult male solicited oral sex from a seventeen year old on the basis that the prosecution used the crimes against nature statue upon which to base its case.
- 1. The first proposed law on sodomy in the newly formed United States of America was introduced by a committiee including none other than Thomas Jefferson. This revision of the contemporary Virginia law carried a penalty of castration for men and "cutting thro' the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least" for women for committing rape, polygamy, or sodomy. This proposal, which included revisions for several other crimes, was rejected, retaining the death penalty in case of sodomy.
- 2. 18.2-48(ii)(iii), 13.2-61, 13.2-63, 18.2-67.3, 18.2-67.4, 18.2-370, and 18.2-374 (respectively Abduction for Immoral Purpose, Rape, Carnal Knowledge of Minor where the perpetrator is more than five years older than the victim, Aggravated Sexual Battery or Sexual Contact with the victim being under thirteen, Sexual battery where the perpetrator is over eighteen but the victim is under six, Taking Indecent Liberties with a Minor, and Child Pornography).

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) have launched the North Carolina Runaway Slave Advertisements project, a database of all known runaway slave ads in North Carolina newspapers between 1751 and 1840. With its comprehensive focus, the project is a useful resource for scholars and students interested in the history of slavery and resistance. In addition to scanned advertisements, the database includes transcripts and rich metadata for easy querying of the approximately 2400 ads. Additonally, project staff have provided some brief historical context for researchers. Samantha Winer, a digitization and transcription assistant, writes that this project offers, "insight not only into conditions and lifestyles experienced by the slaves but also into the plantation economy."1

While the structure of most ads is uniform, some offer deeper insight into the global system of slavery. This 1775 ad from Wilmington, for example, details the escape of a slave named Quamino with two indentured servants. In addition to the typical physical description ("about 30 Years of Age, has a Scar above his right Eye . . ."), the slaveholder has noted that Quamino is "marked with his Country Marks," or patterns of facial scarification that served as markers of ethnicity and identification.2 Clicking through the hyperlinked term "country marks" reveals that the phrase is in circulation in the eighteenth century, but its last appearance is in 1807—a year before the United States prohibited the importation of slaves. This shift in the visuality of slavery might be of interest to scholars who want to study the changing nature of the US slave economy.

This database is one of the latest additions to digital resources about runaway slaves. While most databases do not yet provide features like transcripts, there are a number of useful tools available for researchers and students. UNCG has created the Digital Library on American Slavery, a database of nearly 3,000 legislative petitions, 14,500 county court petitions, as well as personal documents like wills and bills of sale. Professor Thomas Costa at the University of Virgina has compiled runaway slave advertisements from 18th-century Virginia newspapers. One of the most comprehensive sources of information about runaway slaves and their journeys comes from the Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture. Their Runaway Journeys project contains maps, images, documents, and lesson plans. This comprehensive resource covers the history of slavery, routes of runaway slaves, the Civil War, and its aftermath. The North Carolina Runaway Slave Advertisements project's comprehensive coverage, rich metadata, and searchable transcripts make the database a highly useful contribution to these existing tools.

- 2. Of course, physical markings cannot necessarily be correlated with ethnicity or geographic origin. As Michael Gomez notes in Exhanging Our Country Marks (Chapel Hill: UNC Press, 1998), it is notoriously difficult to track the geographical origins of enslaved peoples, as owners would often ascribe places of birth that are difficult to verify.

As our bulletins have previously reported, legislatures in a number of southern states have attempted to implement substantial and often controversial changes to their election rules in the last few years. Some of these legislative actions have been blocked by federal courts under section five of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). For example, The US District Court for the District of Columbia denied preclearance to a redistricting plan and voter ID law passed in Texas in 2011 and 2012 because the state failed to prove that these laws did not "have the purpose or effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group under section five of the Voting Rights Act." However, the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder held that section four of the VRA—which defined a formula to identify areas of the country (many of which were in southern states) that required changes to voting laws be precleared by the Department of Justice or federal courts based on historic voting rights violations—was unconstitutional. As a result, the capacity of the federal government to challenge changes to states' voting laws and protect minority voters is substantially diminished.
As Steve Suitts argued in a recent Southern Spaces piece ("Voting Rights, the Supreme Court, and the Persistence of Southern History"), changes to voting laws in southern states have been employed by legislators to deny African Americans and other minorities the franchise across the US South. Suitts's piece describes what was at stake in the Shelby County case and how it fit within both federal and sectional histories of voting rights oversight and restrictions.
In the wake of the decision, southern states moved to enact or resurrect restrictive voter ID laws. A few hours after the court's ruling, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott declared that the state's previously-blocked voter ID law and redistricting plans would go into effect immediately without approval from the federal government. In a similar move, South Carolina's Attorney General Alan Wilson declared that the state's new voter ID law—which was blocked by the Justice Department in 2011 before being precleared by a federal court in 2012—could now be enacted without asking permission or "being required to jump through the extraordinary hoops demanded by federal bureaucracy." A 2011 voter ID law passed in Alabama, but not yet precleared by the Justice Department, will presumably move forward now that a key barrier to its implementation has been removed. Virginia's pending voter ID law now is also free of preclearance requirements and will likely be implemented as well. Mississippi's voter ID law—put on hold by the Justice department in 2011 because the state failed to prove that its implementation would not hinder minority voting—will also move forward.
The impact of the court's ruling is especially apparent in North Carolina where the state's Republican-led legislature is moving to reshape voting laws, triggering protests and criticism in the media. A new voter ID law which passed the North Carolina House earlier this year but was held up in the Senate to wait for the Supreme Court ruling will now move forward. Another pending bill would likely curb college-age voting by preventing parents from claiming college students as dependents on their state income tax returns if their child registers to vote at their college address. Republican lawmakers in the state also plan to introduce an "omnibus voting bill" in the next few weeks that would decrease the number of early voting days and eliminate Sunday voting and same-day voter registration. Civil and voting rights groups in the state have already filed suit against the state's 2010 redistricting plan, characterizing it as "a cynical strategy to disenfranchise blacks," and vowing to fight any further changes to the state's election laws in the wake of the Shelby County decision. North Carolinians have been protesting outside the General Assembly since April in a series of "Moral Monday" demonstrations over a variety of Republican-led legislative actions, from changes in election rules to drastic cuts in unemployment benefits, education, and other programs. Yesterday, The New York Times editorial board lamented in an editorial entitled "The Decline of North Carolina" that a state "once considered a beacon of farsightedness in the South, an exception in a region of poor education, intolerance and tightfistedness" has had its reputation tarnished by the legislative agenda of its first majority-Republican legislature since 1870.
Opponents of these changes suggest that new voting rules like voter ID laws, redistricting, and limited early voting are designed to increase the influence of southern white conservative voters in a section of the country undergoing dramatic demographic change. According to the US Census Bureau, of eleven states whose Hispanic populations doubled between 2000 and 2011, nine were in the South. Hispanic voters, retirees, and transplants from other sections of the country are transforming the southern electorate, and the latest wave of changes to voting rules has many commentators wondering if the Republican Party can maintain its majorities while continuing to disfranchise southern voters. In the meantime, with federal preclearance effectively gutted, civil and voting rights groups will have to rely on lawsuits from private citizens to challenge changes to election procedures until Congress re-writes the section four rules invalidated by the Supreme Court.
The Bulletin compiles news from in and around the US South. We hope these posts will provide space for lively discussion and debate regarding issues of importance to those living in and intellectually engaging with the US South.
- On Tuesday, June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled five–four to strike down section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This section describes the formula for determining which jurisdictions have a history of racial discrimination and would require federal preclearance to change local voting laws. The formula was renewed by Congress in 2006 after lawmakers concluded that racial discrimination during elections, redistricting, and voter registration did, indeed, still exist. In 2011, Shelby County—an Alabama county that previously fell under the coverage of the provision—sued US Attorney General Eric Holder, arguing that "The South has changed." Chief Justice John Roberts, in the majority opinion, agreed: "Things have changed in the South. "
- Also on that Tuesday, Texas Senator Wendy Davis stood and talked for eleven straight hours, singlehandedly defeating a sweeping abortion regulation bill that would have outlawed abortions after twenty weeks and forced all abortion sites to register as ambulatory surgical centers. Davis previously filibustered a budget that saw huge cuts to education for eight hours. Although that budget ultimately went through after Governor Rick Perry called a special session, Davis's stand against a right-wing state caught the imagination of the nation, inspiring hashtags (#StandwithWendy, #LetHerSpeak), a chant, liveblogs, and a mention from none other than Barack Obama. Governor Perry, however, planned to call a special session for another chance to eliminate abortion in the state of Texas, which is currently underway.
- Texas killed Kimberly McCarthy, the 500th Texan inmate executed since the Supreme Court lifted a nationwide moratorium on executions in 1976, when they ruled that the state of Georgia had the constitutional right to kill Troy Leon Gregg.1 McCarthy, convicted of robbing, beating, and stabbing to death a seventy-one-year-old emeritus professor of psychology, was injected with one large dose of pentobarbital and died at 6:37 p.m. on June 26, 2013. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned her conviction in 2001, but McCarthy lost during a retrial in Dallas County. During sentencing, prosecutors alleged that she had also stabbed to death two elderly women, and the jury sentenced her to die by lethal injection. Governor Rick Perry has presided over 301 of Texas's executions, which make up nearly forty percent of total US executions.
- 1. Incidentally, Gregg was never executed because he escaped from Georgia State Prison the night before his scheduled execution in 1980, only to be beaten to death in a bar fight in North Carolina. Texas executed the nation's first post-moratorium prisoner in 1982, Charles Brooks, the first person to be executed by lethal injection and the first African American executed since 1967.

The Bulletin compiles news from in and around the US South. We hope these posts will provide space for lively discussion and debate regarding issues of importance to those living in and intellectually engaging with the US South.
- The Texas Senate has passed a bill that places new restrictions on abortion providers. Governor Rick Perry added the bill, which is predicted to close most of the state's abortion clinics, to a special session of the state legislature's docket. The bill requires abortion-providing facilities to comply with the standards of an ambulatory surgical center, "even if they do not perform surgical abortions." Opponents argue that only five clinics—all in metropolitan areas—currently meet these standards, and women in rural areas of the state will face hardships if they seek abortions. As the Texas Tribune noted, the bill had a much higher chance of passing in a special session because Lt. Governor David Dewhurst planned "to suspend Senate procedural rules that give Democrats a strong voice in legislative debates."
- The North Carolina NAACP has organized a series of protests every Monday since April 29, 2013 in opposition to cuts in education, health care, and social programs, as well as proposed voter ID laws. Nearly five hundred protestors have been arrested so far. Though Governor Pat McCrory has characterized protests as "fueled by outside interests," a recent study has indicated that ninety eight percent of the protestors are from North Carolina.
- Florida's "Bong Ban" is set to take effect on July 1, 2013. The bill, which passed in April 2013, prohibits the retail sale of "certain smoking pipes and smoking devices." Violators of the new law will be charged with a first degree misdemeanor. Retailers may still sell pipes and smoking paraphrenalia for tobacco use, however, leading some to question the bill's effectiveness. Corn cob pipe aficionados can rest easy—the bill provides exceptions for pipes made from "briar, meerschaum, clay or corn cob."
- The newly launched Digital Public Library of America has partnered with the HathiTrust Digital Library. The collaboration will double the size of the collections and will provide increased access to HathiTrust's nearly eleven million volumes. In addition, HathiTrust metadata records will be freely available under a Creative Commons license.

COLUMBIA CITY — Two incidents, one in September and one in December, caused the Columbia City Police Department to re-evaluate policies and internal protocol.
Monday, Dec. 3, a loaded gun magazine was found on the ground near Columbia City High School. This caused the school to go into a lockdown status briefly that day.
Although the situation was accidental and resolved without incident, Columbia City Police Chief Tim Longenbaugh said the department has made changes to prevent such an event from happening in the future.
A second event also drew the attention of the department. On Sept. 28, a pedestrian was struck by a squad car. The pedestrian, Zachary Hesting of Columbia City, was walking along the road when he was hit by the vehicle.

text: Here's a pic of the upper complete except for parkerizing and a muzzle brake. I'm going to try to make a levang type muzzle brake for it, but not to tame the awesome fury of the mighty 9mm luger round as it seems to kick about as much a a 22lr bolt action with CCI stingers. I want to make a levang type brake for it as they seem effective at directing the noise away from the shooter. Which is always nice for young shooters. It feeds fairly reliably with one bullet flipping up and jamming out of 2-3 magazines. I might be able to eliminate that by trying different spacing of the feed lips or smoothing out the feed ramp a little more. With the caterpilliar barrel lock nut on there Muttman joked that I should stamp it "Powered By CAT" But in the mean while since we're still in a severe storm warning, I put the snow camo stocks on and took a picture between snow bands.
