Virgin territoryWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
As I rode up several floors in a hotel elevator during a Memorial Day trip, the car stopped to let in two women. I am not strong at guessing ages, but they were probably in their late 30s or early 40s. They were animatedly discussing some man they had just seen, literally giggling about his eyes, biceps and, as one of the women described it, his "tushy."
I tried to mentally force the elevator to speed up, but made eye contact with the tushy fan, who burst out laughing, expelling a cloud of something alcoholic into the suddenly much smaller car.
"I'm sorry," she laughed, clearly anything but.
"Don't be. Men talk about women that way sometimes," I said, stating what I thought was a universal truism.
"Really?" she asked, as if she had just arrived from a planet that contained no men and she found the factoid confusing.
"Sure. I will probably describe you two to someone at some point," I said, enjoying some private irony.
"Well," she said, with as much deliberation as I imagine Abraham Lincoln employed while drafting the Gettysburg Address, "I guess we're all ho's."
I did not have an answer for her, but the comment, "I guess we're all ho's," banged around in my head that day, partially because of its vulgar directness, and partially because it's tempting to believe it's true. From Adam to John Profumo to Bill Clinton to Gen. David Petraeus, sex and its pursuit have reduced even some of the finest men and women to barely thinking animals.
Another reason the woman's quote stayed with me comes courtesy of my friend Jeff McGinnis, Toledo Free Press Pop Culture Editor and a co-host on our WSPD show "Eye on Your Weekend," who posted this message on Facebook on May 25: "Let's spell this out. Make it plain. Okay?
"To hell with the idea that somehow I'm a failure or less of a person because I haven't had sex.
"To hell with the idea that my relationships with female friends are somehow a failure because I haven't slept with any of them.
"To hell with the idea that their worth to me is defined solely by whether or not they want to have sex with me.
"To hell with the idea that, because I value them as people — people who I love, admire and respect, and who I am grateful to, simply for the fact that they want me to be a part of their life — I am less than those who see them as objects to be conquered.
"To hell with the idea of 'the friend zone.' Because being a friend is the most wonderful thing in the world to me.
I love the people in my life. That is all I ever need. And to hell with anyone or anything who tries to tell me that's not enough."
Well, to hell with me, then, because I am going to try to tell McGinnis why that's not enough.
McGinnis, who is in his mid-30s, has been alternately vaunted and ridiculed for the public acknowledgment of his virginity during his Tuesday morning appearances on KISS FM. And while his Facebook post is noble and certainly grounded in a clear morality that is largely inarguable, it is also critically flawed. On "Eye on Your Weekend," our panel has one guiding principle: Do not discuss a work of art you haven't experienced. If you haven't seen the new "Star Trek" movie, watched the latest episodes of "Arrested Development" or listened to the new Daft Punk CD, don't jump into the conversation. McGinnis violates that rule when he writes about the role of sex in relationships, but I am about to violate that rule by discussing middle-age virginity, so we'll each accept our penalty and soldier on.
There is no argument with McGinnis' sentiment that those who deem a lack of sexual involvement a failure miss the point of friendship. He is also correct that objectification is a base and crude preoccupation, no matter who is the objectify-er and who is the objectify-ee, though I am fascinated by the mystery of how Person X can be in an unbreakable, loving commitment and still project sexual fantasy on any number of women I know. I mean, that Person X knows.
Because McGinnis has self-admittedly never experienced the dimensions of a sexual relationship, he cannot understand the implications and impact sex has on a committed relationship.
This is not a discussion of one-night stands or recreational sex indulged in for fun without any level of commitment beyond what's for breakfast. It is about the fact that sexual intimacy has a magnifying effect on love and friendship that exponentially strengthens both beyond the mechanics of the act itself.
I can promise McGinnis, who is one of the sharpest intellects and most talented writers I have encountered in my 25-year professional career, that when he eventually experiences the power of an intimate, sexual relationship with a woman who is also his best friend, he will journey through a re-evaluation of the role sex plays and will come to a greater understanding of why so many people place such great emphasis on sex, even if they do not understand why or even if their motives are less than noble.
There is also the "chocolate chip cookie factor." I can describe the ingredients, textures and pleasures of eating a chocolate chip cookie to someone who has never tasted one, but I cannot fully convey the experience through mere description. If something as simple as a cookie defies such conveyance, how can one ever accurately describe something as complex as sex to someone who has yet to experience it? Imagine trying to describe having two cookies at once!
No, we are not all ho's, despite the monkeyshines of my elevator companions. But we were not all meant to be celibate monks, either. Somewhere between monkeys and monks lies the truth, and I look forward to reading McGinnis' thoughts on women, love and sex once he has had a few years to experience and explore them for himself.
When two people love each other, sexual communion opens a universe of depth and intimacy. Once that dimension is experienced, it redefines and creates a molecular-level bond. With the joy and intensity that forges, it is a natural extension for Person X to speculate on how sex could enhance the bonds of friendship established with several of the most important women in my life. I mean, Person X's life.

LAUREL CREEK - A 55 year-old Laurel Creek resident that was reported missing by a family member on Dec. 30, 2012, has now been declared a murder victim. The same relative that filed the missing person's report with the West Virginia State Police (WVSP) is now behind bars - charged with 1st degree murder, concealment of a deceased human body and conspiracy.
According to information listed in the criminal complaint filed by WVSP Trooper J.J. Dean III, who was assisted by other officers from the Williamson Detachment, Evelyn Joyce Farnum was reported last seen at her residence on the Right Fork of Laurel Creek by her cousin, Donald Kevin Medley, 45, also of Laurel Creek, who was the one providing the information. Donald told police that Farnum left the home between 10:30 and 11 p.m. on the 30th in her black 2003 Jeep Liberty without disclosing her destination, but had allegedly left her purse, cell phone and other belongings behind. A search for the missing woman that included both ground and air units ensued and continued through Saturday, when the investigating trooper received information that turned the search into a recovery mission.
An unnamed person who is said to have witnessed Donald rolling the Jeep into the Laurel Lake containing Furnam's body came forward and gave the trooper the break he was waiting for. The brother of the defendant, Gregory Medley, 44, was also said to have been present during the incident, and told Trooper Dean that his brother called him and asked him to come to the lake to help dispose of the body and vehicle but claimed that all he did was stand and watch, saying that the vehicle was going into the water when he arrived.
Gregory was arrested at the same time as his brother and was charged with concealment of a deceased human body and conspiracy, which are felonies that carry possible sentences of 1-5 and 1-10 years in prison, plus a fine.
The charge of 1st degree murder was added to Donald's charges after he is said to have confessed to killing Furnam while being questioned at the WVSP Williamson Detachment. According to the paperwork filed by Trooper Dean that was entered in Mingo County Magistrate Court, Donald read and signed an Interview and Miranda Rights form and then admitted that on Dec. 30, he became angry with the victim and struck her in the face and then choked her until she was dead. It further stated that he continued to strike her repeatedly in the face after she was deceased. He then loaded her body into the vehicle, telephoned his brother and asked for assistance, drove to Laurel Lake and proceeded to shove the SUV into the water.
The location of the vehicle was reportedly discovered by sonar equipment and divers and law enforcement retrieved it from the waters Sunday morning, with the deceased inside. The body will be sent to the WV State Medical Examiner's Office in Charleston for an autopsy.
Both defendants were arraigned Saturday evening before Mingo County Chief Magistrate Dallas Toler and each had bond set at $200,000 full-cash, on the concealment of a deceased human body and concealment charges. Donald was arraigned on the additional charge of 1st degree murder which is a capital offense, and appeared in Circuit Court Monday morning before the Honorable Judge Michael Thornsbury for the additional arraignment process. No bond was set on the murder charge. Both defendants remain incarcerated in the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden.
Further information from the investigation will be released to the public concerning this case as it becomes available.

SEATTLE, Wash. - Cal State Northridge men's and women's track & field concluded competition at the MPSF Indoor Championships Saturday at the University of Washington's Dempsey Indoor. Donovan Toban, who held the day one lead in the heptathlon, was injured and unable to finish the competition.
Toban was not only on pace to win the event but was on his way to breaking the CSUN record and qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships. Toban was injured running and was forced to withdraw from the heptathlon. He had PR'd in four events on Friday and had opened Saturday's events winning the 60 meter hurdles in 8.29. He then posted a height of 10-2 (3.10) in the pole vault and was not able to run in the 1,000 meters, the final event of the competition.
"It's a shame because Donovan was clearly in command of the competition," said Matador head coach Avery Anderson. "He had a national berth was certainly going to break Justin Johnson's school record. He was having a monster meet and was training at a level that told me has capable of putting this kind of meet together. I'm sad for him but injuries are a part of sports and adversity gives us a change to grow, he'll bounce back."
The Matador women picked up three points in the 60 meters as Le'Shel Vines was seventh (7.63) and Hafsatu Kamara was eighth (7.79). Vines ran the third-fastest time in CSUN indoor history on Friday posting a time of 7.51. Vines also narrowly missed the final in the 200 meters after running a season-best 24.79 in the prelims.
Lexis Lambert clocked a season-best 56.04 in the 400 meter prelims as did Samantha Dirks (56.83) and Jenna Vincej (57.74). The 4x400 relay team also posted an indoor season-best of 3:45.18 which left the Matador women seventh.
Ashley Henry finished third in the high jump to pick up an additional six points. Henry, who came into the championships with a season-best of 5-7, cleared 5-9.25 (1.76) on her second attempt. Cydney Leath also scored in the triple jump as she took seventh with a best of 38-4.25 (11.69) which is a season-best by nearly one meter.
On the men's side, the Matadors also scored 12 team points as Carl Horsley finished third in the 60 meters in a time of 6.87. Horsley was the seventh-fastest qualifier on Friday running a season-best of 6.82. Joshua Hemphill also advanced to the 60 meter hurdles final and went on to finish fourth in a CSUN season-best of 8.14.
Ezekial Glass also ran a season-best in the 800 meters finishing 16th in 1:55.76 while Tucker Weathers and Derrick Harris picked up the final team points in the shot put and heptathlon respectively. Weathers was sixth in the shot put tossing a season-best of 54-10.25 (16.72) while Harris placed eighth in the heptathlon after scoring a season-best 5,010 points.
"After this meet we're in a great place coming out of the indoor season as we move into the outdoor season," added Anderson. "There were lots of positives for us at this meet."

You've heard it mentioned before. In fact, if you've been with Compassion long enough, you've heard it eight other times already. We have once again received Charity Navigator's highest rating — four stars — for responsible financial management.
It would be easy to hear this news and say, "Yeah, yeah, they did it again. They and umpteen other charities, right?"
Well, not exactly.
According to the largest independent evaluator of charities in the nation, receiving the four-star rating nine times is "exceptional." Only 1 percent of charities has received Charity Navigator's highest rating as many times as we have.
"We take stewardship very seriously — for the sake of the children we serve and the donors who entrust their giving to us. We are deeply honored to again receive this significant recognition." — Compassion President Dr. Wess Stafford.

If you love design and are interested in style, it's always curious to see how it comes together with food.
Alessi is a company which produces all manner of designer home wares, and are now making designer cake moulds. I was fascinated to see how these would work and keen to give them a go. I thought they would lend themselves best to a dense type of cake, so I immediately thought of this delicious favourite recipe.
Lemon and almond cake
Makes 12 individual cakes
250g butter or margarine
250g caster sugar
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp lemon extract
5 medium eggs, beaten
250g ground almonds
50g plain flour, gluten free if needed
1) Preheat the oven to 180C. Lightly grease your cake moulds and set them out upside down on a baking tray
2) Place the butter and margarine into a large mixing bowl and beat together well until light and fluffy. Add the almond and lemon extract and mix in thoroughly.
3) Add the eggs and beat into the butter and sugar well
4) Now add the ground almonds and sift in the plain flour and fold into the mixture. Spoon into the prepared cake moulds and bake for 20-25 minutes until a cocktail stick comes out clean.
5) Remove the cakes from the moulds and allow to cool on a wire rack. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy.

Dothard, a native of Carrollton, Ga., is a third team selection after leading the Mocs with 94 tackles. He was a first team pick last season and was on the Buck Buchanan Award Watch list as one of the nation's top defensive players throughout 2012. He also had six tackles-for-loss, an interception and two forced fumbles while leading one of the top defenses in the FCS.
Dothard is the Mocs' first two-time All-American since Josh Cain in 2001 & 2002 and the sixth since Chattanooga began competing in the Southern Conference in 1977.

It was a good start to the season for the Chapmanville Regional High School track and field team in its season-0pening meet on Saturday at Roane County.
The Chapmanville boys' team was fourth place out eight teams while the CRHS girls were second out of seven.
"Our boys came in fourth place out of eight teams and that's not bad considering the team is made up of quite a few freshmen," Chapmanville first-year coach Joetta Thompson said. "Overall I think my team did very well. The temperatures were near freezing all evening and we have a lot of new comers, including myself as coach, but they really tried hard and did a great job. They have great team spirit and support one another well. I'm looking forward to a fun and successful season."
The boys were paced by a second-place performance in the 200-meter dash by Andrew Workman with a time of 24.94. Ethan Thompson also placed for a ribbon in the 200.
Thompson and Devin Wiley placed in the 100-meter dash as well.
The boys' 4x100 meter relay team came in first place with a time of 48.03. That team consisted of Thompson, Wiley, Zachary Thompson and Andrew Workman.
The Chapmanville boys 4x200 came in third. The relay team was comprised of Ethan Thompson, Andrew Thompson, Workman and Wiley.
The CRHS 4x400 relay team came in third place as well. The squad was made up of Jeffrey Lunsford, Andrew Thompson, Alex Maynard and Christian Farley.
The Chapmanville girls' team had a second place finish by Autumn Baisden in the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.95.
Baisden was second in the 200-meter dash in 29.22.
Mara Mazzocchi, a newcomer to the team, placed and won a ribbon in all four events she participated in.
Chapmanville's next scheduled meet is Thursday at Cabel Midland.

Admissions process at the University of Texas is notoriously opaque, based on a principal known as holistic review that takes into account test scores, socioeconomic status, activities, as well as race and ethnicity; criticisms of the policy vary, with black and Hispanic students saying it favors those from private and elite high schools, and wealthier white students contending it favors minorities.

Supreme Court's decision to hear a case involving race-conscious admissions at the University of Texas thrusts affirmative action back into the public and political discourse after years in which it had mostly faded from view; both supporters and opponents of affirmative action say they see the decision, and the change in the court's makeup in since it last considered the issue, as a signal that the court's five more conservative members might be prepared to do away with racial preferences in higher education.

- 66% rayon, 30% nylon, 4% spandex.
- Center back to hem: 32" (81 cm).
- Dry clean.
- Imported.
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S.
Rated 5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by TinyMK1 Contrast to die for! I am absolutely thrilled with this dress. The contrast with the black and white is what drew me to it in the first place, and it does not disappoint. High quality fabric and nice, snug fit running true to size. Easily transitions from work to night. Also looks amazing with a red blazer and red high heels. My only complaint would be that the attached belt is too large on the waist for an XS (even when at its tightest). Fortunately, it can either be safety pinned down or traded out for another belt.

Officials still tight-lipped on town hall's futureBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | December 11,2012CASTLETON — Any future plans on the contentious town hall issue are still unknown.
For the second meeting in a row, the Select Board stayed silent Monday night about its plans to address the town offices which have plagued the town for more than a year. The topic was only mentioned when Holly Hitchcock raised the issue and the board's chairman briefly answered.
"At this point in time we are still gathering information," said Thomas Ettori to a crowd of about 20 people. "Today we got a report that we have not been able to see. Hopefully by next meeting we will have something."
Ettori said they are still waiting on receiving information from the town's attorney, but would not elaborate further.
All plans on the issue have been on hold since the Nov. 6 elections when town residents voted to approve a renovation to the historic town office building in the village, but voted down a second article that would seek extra funds to move the project forward.
Voters effectively stifled the project as both articles regarding the $1.2 million project needed to pass, according to town officials.
The only action recently taken by the Select Board came through a letter in which they rejected a $240,000 grant offered to the town by the Alma Gibbs Donchian Foundation to renovate the old town office building.
At the time, Ettori called the letter a courtesy to the foundation for their generous offer, but said the town was unable to accept the grant because of lack of funds for the project.
The historic brick building, located at 556 Main St., housed Castleton's town offices and police department. It has sat empty since June 2011, when the offices were moved after a report of extensive mold throughout the building. November marked the one-year anniversary of the move to temporary offices located on Route 4A.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Rhoda McIntosh
"Very flavorful twist to fried chicken!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale
Sort stores by
Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons
real maple syrup
1 cup
chopped pecans
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
I made some changes to this and I think that is why we liked it so much. I read that people had trouble getting the pecans to stick, so I ground them fairly fine in the food processor, and then mixed them with preseasoned breadcrumbs. This stayed on the chicken nicely and you still got the taste of the pecans. I browned them on the stove top as directed, but then placed them under the broiler to finish them up. This kept the breading from getting soggy.
The flavors (and previous reviews) involved make this sound like a tantalizing recipe, but I found the end result to be a little disappointing. The chicken tastes more like faux fried chicken, and with the price of pecans (and the high fat content), I'd advise prepping the real deal if you have the time.

Wanted something different for chicken breasts This was IT!. I seasoned the chicken breasts with Montreal Chicken Spice and Garlic Powder before adding the other ing. Turned out wonderfull. You must use a food prosessor or chopper for the pecans. That way they have no trouble staying on the chicken. Do not use high heat or the pecan will burn. Cooked in no time and was tender and moist. My 91 year old Mother said it was devine. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
Delicious dish! My family enjoyed it and my son said it was the best chicken he'd ever had. I might salt the chicken breasts before coating them with the maple syrup. I also pounded them between waxed paper to make them thin & even.
Flavorful! I've made a similar meal using honey. The REAL maple syrup adds a nice smokey flavor. I add fresh herbs with the pecan mix. Brown chicken in a skillet then place in the oven for 12 minutes at 350º. Finishing in the oven makes the chicken extra tender and toasty.
Instead of frying in the pan I baked the chicken at 350 for 20-25 minutes and it was awesome and a lot fewer calories.
I put my pecans thru my food processor to get them really fine and added some garlic and onion powders. Didn't want the chicken to be overly sweet, so I lightly brushed them. I also used the thin breasts which allowed them to cook thru. Once cooked, I removed the meat, added a bit of flour and wine to the pan which made a nice light sauce. Thanks Rhonda!
EXCELLENT! I needed a recipe for a pan-fried chicken, and I happened to have some pecans on hand. I always read the comments first, so I knew to boil the 6 chicken breasts first, and I chopped the pecans almost to a powder! The chicken was still warm when I placed it in a large ziploc bag with extra maple syrup, so I threw it into the freezer for a few minutes before coating it for frying (I wish the maple syrup was a bit thicker, may have to work on that). I used a little butter and olive oil to fry it (that's my oil of preference). It was absolutely delicious!! Served with (slightly-over)-roasted sweet potatoes -- marvelous together. Highly recommend to all!

Seventh Try's The Charm For Hemingway Look-Alike
By editor
Originally published on Tue July 23, 2013 7:37 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
I mean, isn't it every white haired, husky, bearded man's ambition to look like Hemingway? Sure seemed that way at the annual Papa Hemingway Look-Alike Contest. The annual event was just held at Sloppy Joe's, a favorite Hemingway watering hole on Key West. The winner: software developer Stephen Terry. He beat out more than a hundred hopefuls, including the husband of chef Paula Deen. Those who didn't win, take heart, it was Terry's seventh try. Now that's one earnest effort.

text: COMFORT On Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013, deputies with the Boone County Sheriff's Department arrested Herman Dewayne Pickens, 53, of Peytona, for Threats of Terrorist Acts at Sherman Elementary School in Comfort. On Thursday, Boone County Schools' officials spoke with the Coal Valley News about the arrest.Mr. Pickens was requested to come to the school to meet with the schools principal Brenda Viars, Boone County Schools Executive Director of School Safety and Transportation Steve Bradley and law enforcement with the Boone County Sheriffs Department regarding previous incidents involving Mr. Pickens not following the schools protocols, policies and procedures, said Boone County Schools Assistant Superintendent Jeff Huffman. Mr. Pickens allegedly didnt like that visitors are required to enter the school through a certain door, sign in at the office and other rules.Huffman said there is a child that attends the school that Pickens drops off and picks up at times.I dont know if it is his child, grandchild or just a child under his care, Huffman said.Deputies were made aware that Pickens had been in the school on a previous occasion and made specific threats concerning a firearm, to the staff of the school.Corporal B.G. Browning encountered Pickens inside the school and Pickens had a firearm holster on his belt where it was visible to students and staff.Boone County Schools Superintendent John Hudson said Pickens did not have a gun inside of the school."No individual, to my knowledge, brought a gun inside of the school," Hudson explained. "He had a firearm holster that was empty."Police said Pickens also had in his possession a folding knife, which is prohibited on school grounds. However, in close proximity to the school and inside Pickens' vehicle, officers located a loaded .40 caliber semiautomatic handgun, according to the police report.Also, on at least two prior occasions this month, Pickens brandished the empty holster to the staff and made threats of not leaving his gun in his vehicle the next time he came in, according to police."This is why we called the police to the school," Hudson said.Police said these acts made the staff fear for the safety of their lives as well as the lives of the children inside the school.Rumors that Pickens was upset that the child under his care was being bullied at the school and that being the reason for his behavior are unsubstantiated.We have never heard anything like that from anyone, including Mr. Pickens, Huffman said. He appeared to be having problems with following the schools rules, protocols, policies and procedures.Pickens was taken before Magistrate C. Porter Snodgrass and arraigned Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 23, 2013. A $100,000 property bond was set.

In all that time, he has never seen demand for ammunition anywhere near what it is today.
Gun stores are reporting massive shortages in ammunition both locally and nationwide.
"We're getting a lot of product in, but the demand is so much higher than the supply," Woodbury said. "We're even dealing with the distributors we usually don't do business with because they charge too much for shipping and handling fees and their prices are too high. Of course, they're the last people to have it because nobody's buying from them. We deal with over 150 distributors and right now none of my distributors have any 9mm or .22 long rifle ammunition. None of them have any 223 or 556 ammunition.
"When they call you, you can't even ask them how much (it is going to cost); you just have to say 'I'll take it,'" he added. "If you don't, before you can ask them how much it is, somebody else has already bought it out from under you."
Woodbury said the stockpiling of ammunition started around the presidential election in November. The Dec. 14th shooting at Newtown, Conn. and the possible government reaction to that also has sparked interest in firearms and ammunition.
Business has been so busy that Woodbury has hired two additional employees at each of his four locations in Crestview, Baker, Panama City and Pensacola.
"If you watch the news, all they're talking about is gun bans, types of magazines bans, ammunition licensing," Woodbury said. "Everybody's just going crazy stockpiling ammunition. And when people go to the store and see the frenzy, it even drives them more to want it.
"It's kind of like when you want a hamburger and you're hungry and there's not one around you, you're just scouring the countryside looking for a hamburger stand and nobody's got one," Woodbury added. "The prices of course go up and it just compounds the problem."
Kevin Camilli, who co-owns Grey Tactical Outfitters in Destin with Eli Caison, said he hasn't been able to get ammunition in on a consistent basis for weeks.
"At some point I'll get some in, but I don't think it will be for a while," Camilli said. "The government is buying a whole lot of it, which decreases the available supply. The munitions plants, there's only a limited number of them, and every round they produce before it comes off the assembly line is already sold. When I'm putting an order in, I'm putting an order in for raw materials that haven't even been mined yet. There is no stockpile of guns or ammo."
Camilli is attending a gun and ammunition trade show in Las Vegas this week and plans to meet with the manufacturers to try to find out how long the shortage will last.
He said it was not just guns and ammunition that were selling fast, but also survival items such as water filtration devices, nonperishable food and medical gear.
At Ranger Firearms and Mercantile in Fort Walton Beach, store owner Virgil Zetterlind has had to limit customers to two boxes of ammunition a visit to try to make his supply last longer.
"People are concerned about what Congress and the president may or may not do in terms of gun control," Zetterlind said. "A lot of it is the uncertainty behind that is driving people to stock up. I think once the legislative picture becomes more clear things will settle down."
Woodbury said the military and law enforcement get top priority from distributors and get their orders filled first.
After that, the big box stores that buy millions of dollars worth of ammunition get their orders filled. Woodbury said it was more difficult for the smaller stores.
At Jay's Guns, Woodbury said the waiting list is so long that most shipments of ammunition he receives already are sold out before they arrive.
"It's great for business, but the thing I don't like from a gun shop owner's standpoint is that I don't get to give my customers the attention and customer service they deserve just because it's so hectic," he said.

Andre Galvao has dedicated the last 12 months of his life to MMA. Since August 2008 he's had four fights, winning three by submission and suffering one split (and controversial) decision loss, at Dream. Now the two-time Jiu-Jitsu world champion (2005, 2008) and runner-up (2006 and 2007) is back in the grappling game.
The Fernando Terere and Eduardo Telles pupil, who once figured in two-time ADCC champion Leo Vieira's team, is one of those favored to win the under 88kg category. The category has no owner, as 2007's champion Demian Maia will not take part.
Direct from Rio de Janeiro, where he trains with beasts of the caliber of Anderson Silva and Rodrigo Minotauro, Galvao spoke with the GRACIEMAG.com at the ADCC Blog, and had the following to say:
Blog: How is your final stage of training for the ADCC going?
Galvao: I'm doing explosiveness training without the gi. I've been training without the gi for some time now. I haven't been putting on the gi every day since I started fighting MMA.
Blog: To you is the ADCC closer to being MMA than Jiu-Jitsu?
Galvao: No, no. It's certainly closer to Jiu-Jitsu. But even so I feel it's much different from competing in the gi. Besides that, the opponents are different.
Blog: In 2007 you competed in the under 77kg category, but this year you moved up to 88kg. Who will be your main adversaries? Would you risk pointing out a favorite?
Galvao: I can't leave out Braulio Estima, Rousimar Touquinho, Rafael Lovato Jr. or Tarsis Humphreys. Those guys are big-time tough with enormous submission grappling experience. As for a favorite, that all depends on what happens that day. There is no favourite.
Galvao vs Yoshida, ADCC 2007 absolute
Blog: You didn't compete at the Jiu-Jitsu World Championship but are returning to the ADCC. Why this preference?
Galvao: I didn't compete at the Worlds because I was training a lot without the gi for MMA. As for the ADCC, it's a really good tournament. The recognition you receive is much greater than at the Jiu-Jitsu Worlds, mainly in the realm I am in, which is MMA. And there are also the money prizes, which help a lot. But I love Jiu-Jitsu and am dying to compete at a Worlds.
Blog: Looking back, what would you consider to be your greatest moment in the ADCC?
Galvao: Ah, for sure my matches with Cacareco, in the absolute third-place dispute in 2007, and with Mike Fowler, in the under 77kg third-place dispute. Those were great moments.
Blog: Can you recall any mistake you made in 2007 that you hope not to make this year?
Galvao: In the under 77kg semifinal I was ahead on the scorecards against Pablo Popovitch and decided to open up to do something more. There was a minute left in the match and I ended up getting surprised by him.
Blog: To you, who is the best of all in the ADCC?
Galvao: Roger Gracie. I remember in 2005 he finished everybory.
And what about you? Who is favored to win the under 88kg category? Leave your comment.

|Symmetrical Volcán Parinacota rises north of Lake Chungará in the foreground. The lake was formed when collapse of an ancestral Parinacota edifice about 8000 years ago produced a massive 5-6 cu km debris avalanche that dammed a preexisting river. Subsequent eruptions of andesitic aa lava flows and andesitic pumice and scoria flows constructed the modern conical edifice, obscuring the avalanche source scarp. The summit of Parinacota volcano contains a pristine, 300-m-wide crater.

|The Nevados de Payachata volcanic group in northern Chile, seen here from the west, consists of the symmetrical, 6348-m-high Parinacota volcano (right) and its older twin volcano, Pleistocene 6222-m-high Pomerape volcano (left). The young cone of Parinacota post-dates collapse of an older edifice about 8000 years ago. The most recent activity at Parinacota produced a series of fresh-looking lava flows from satellitic cones on the south and SW flanks.
Photo by Oscar González-Ferrán (University of Chile).
|Volcán Pomerape is the northernmost of twin stratovolcanoes forming the Nevados de Payachata along the Chile-Bolivia border. The 6282-m-high Pomerape lies across a saddle from Parinacota volcano, out of view to the right. The glacially dissected Pomerape was constructed above a base of dacitic-rhyolitic lava domes. The dominantly andesitic stratovolcano is capped by dacitic breccias and is of dominantly Pleistocene age.
Photo by Oscar González-Ferrán (University of Chile).
|The southern side of conical, glacier-clad Parinacota volcano is seen from south of Laguna Changará, with its twin volcano, Pomerape, visible in the distance behind its right-hand flank. A complex of lighter colored dacitic-rhyolitic lava domes can be seen at the SW flank of Parinacota (middle left). The main cone of Parinacota was constructed during the Holocene primarily by the effusion of andesitic lava flows following collapse of an earlier edifice. The youngest of these flows was dated at between 1300 and 2000 years ago.
Photo by Oscar González-Ferrán (University of Chile).
|A dark-colored andesitic volcanic bomb, ejected in a plastic state with a ballistic trajectory, drapes older rhyolitic rocks. The bomb was ejected during the Ajata volcanic eruptions. Helium surface-exposure ages ranging between about 1385 and 6500 years ago were obtained from the three lava flows erupted from the Volcanes de Ajata. Note the ice axe for scale (right-center).
Photo by Oscar González-Ferrán (University of Chile).
|This viscous andesitic aa flow was erupted from the Volcanes de Ajata cinder cones along a N-S fracture on the southern flank of Parinacota. Helium-exposure ages of about 5985 and 6500 years ago were obtained from the lowermost and oldest of three lava flows of the Volcanes de Ajata. Snow-capped Acotango, Sajama, and Guallatiri volcanoes form the horizon to the east.

|The Nevados de Payachata volcanic group, the scenic highlight of Lauca National Park, is seen here from the SW and consists of the symmetrical, 6348-m-high Parinacota volcano (right) and its older twin volcano, Pleistocene 6222-m-high Pomerape volcano (left). Collapse of Parinacota about 8000 years ago produced a 6 cu km debris avalanche that formed the hummocky terrain in the foreground, with the colorful Llareta plant at the lower right. Hummocks in this medial portion of the avalanche deposit are about 50-100 m high.
Photo by Lee Siebert, 2004 (Smithsonian Institution).
|Glacier-clad Volcán Parinacota rises to the NE above Laguna Chungará near the Chile-Bolivia border. The lake was formed when collapse of Parinacota about 8000 years ago produced a 6 cu km debris avalanche that traveled 22 km to the west and blocked drainages. Subsequent eruptions constructed the 6348-m-high symmetrical stratovolcano, which towers above late-Pleistocene andesitic-to-rhyolitic lava domes and flows in the middle ground.

|The twin snow-capped volcanoes of the Nevados de Payachata volcanic group dominate this NASA Space Shuttle image (with north to the bottom). A prominent summit crater tops symmetrical Parinacota volcano, constructed to the SW of its eroded Pleistocene twin, Pomerape volcano. Silicic lava flows from Parinacota form lobes extending into Laguna Chungará, which was formed when a major debris avalanche from Parinacota blocked drainages. The hummocky debris-avalanche deposit covers much of the lower right part of the image.

|Snow capped volcanoes dot this NASA Space Shuttle image (with north to the upper right) taken along the Chile-Bolivia border. The snow-capped peak at the far left-center is Guallatiri volcano, and to its right are the three peaks of Nevados Quimsachata, which includes Acotango volcano. The twin peaks at the upper left are Pomerape and Parinacota, with Laguna Chungara below. Nevado del Sajama in Bolivia lies at the upper right-center. At the lower right is the snow-free volcano of Macizo de Larancagua.
