SAN JOSE, Calif. - Police investigating how a human finger ended up in a woman's bowl of Wendy's chili declared the claim a hoax Friday and arrested her on charges of attempted grand larceny.
The arrest of Anna Ayala at her home outside Las Vegas was the latest twist in a case that has become a late-night punch line, taken a bite out of Wendy's sales and forced the fast-food chain to check its employees for missing fingers.
Ayala, 39, claimed she bit down on the well-manicured, 1 1/2-inch finger in a mouthful of her steamy chili on March 22 in San Jose. She had hired a lawyer and filed a claim against the Wendy's franchise owner, but dropped the lawsuit threat soon after suspicion fell on her.
When asked whether police considered Ayala's claim a hoax, David Keneller, captain of the San Jose police department's investigations bureau, said yes.
"What we have found is that thus far our evidence suggests the truest victims in this case are indeed the Wendy's owner, operators and employees here in San Jose," Police Chief Rob Davis said.
At a news conference, police refused to say where the finger originated and exactly how the hoax was carried out.
But according to a person knowledgeable about the case who spoke on condition of anonymity, the attempted larceny charge stemmed from San Jose police interviews with people who said Ayala described putting a finger in the chili. The source said the interviews were with at least two people who did not know each other and independently told similar stories.
The source added that investigators still did not know where the finger came from.
Ayala who has a history of bringing claims against big corporations has denied placing the finger in the chili.
"We're thrilled that an arrest has been made," Tom Mueller, president and chief operating officer of Wendy's North America, said in a statement.
During the investigation, police and health officials failed to find any missing fingers among the workers in the restaurant's supply chain. Wendy's hired private investigators, set up a hot line for tips and offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the finger's original owner.
The furor caused sales at Wendy's to drop, forcing layoffs and reduced hours in Northern California. Joseph Desmond, owner of the local Wendy's franchise, called the ordeal a nightmare.
"It's been 31 days, and believe me it's been really tough," he said. "My thanks also go out to all the little people who were hurt in our stores. They lost a lot of wages because we had to cut back because our business has been down so badly."
Earlier Thursday, Ohio-based Wendy's announced it had ended its internal investigation, saying it could find no link between the finger and the restaurant chain.
Ayala has filed claims against several corporations, though it is unclear whether she received any money. She said she got $30,000 from a Mexican food chain after her 13-year-old daughter got sick at one of the restaurant, but the chain denied it paid her anything.
Ayala also was arrested on a warrant alleging grand larceny a charge not related to the discovery of the fingertip. The police chief said the grand larceny allegation stemmed from a 2002 incident in which Ayala allegedly tried to sell a mobile home in San Jose that she did not own. The victim lost $11,000.
Ayala's son denied the grand larceny charge related to the mobile home sale.
"She didn't steal any money in connection with the trailer," Guadalupe Reyes Jr. said in brief comments to reporters while leaving the family's suburban Las Vegas house.

Wendy's Hopes Arrest Woos Back Customers
- By KIM CURTIS, Associated Press Writer
Saturday, April 23, 2005
(04-23) 09:49 PDT San Jose, Calif. (AP) --
Wendy's restaurants are hoping business will bounce back now that a woman who claimed she found a finger in her bowl of chili has been arrested and investigators say the whole case was likely a hoax.
Anna Ayala is accused of attempted grand larceny, a charge authorities said relates to the financial losses Wendy's has suffered since Ayala claimed she bit down a 1 1/2-inch finger tip in a mouthful of her chili on March 22.
The loss to Wendy's restaurants in the Bay area is $2.5 million, according to the felony complaint against her.
"Indeed, what we have found is that thus far our evidence suggests the truest victims in this case are indeed the Wendy's owner, operators and employees here in San Jose," San Jose Police Chief Rob Davis said Friday.
Sales dropped at Wendy's in Northern California because of the furor, forcing layoffs and reduced hours.
"It's been 31 days, and believe me it's been really tough," said Joseph Desmond, owner of the local Wendy's franchise. "My thanks also go out to all the little people who were hurt in our stores. They lost a lot of wages because we had to cut back because our business has been down so badly."
The company plans to launch a marketing campaign and decided to offer free Frosties this weekend at its Bay area restaurants, Wendy's spokesman Denny Lynch said.
"If you look at the facts, the police have conducted an investigation and filed charges and made an arrest. We believe that is a clear sign we have been vindicated," he said.
Ayala's claim that she found the well-manicured finger during her meal at a San Jose Wendy's initially drew sympathy. She hired a lawyer and filed a claim against the franchise owner, but dropped the lawsuit threat soon after suspicion fell on her.
Ayala, who has a history of bringing claims against big corporations, was arrested at her suburban Las Vegas home Thursday. A court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday; in the meantime, she is being held without bail.
San Jose Police Capt. David Keneller said police consider Ayala's claim a hoax. Police refused to say where the finger originated and exactly how the hoax was carried out.
But according to a person knowledgeable about the case who spoke on condition of anonymity, the charge stemmed from San Jose police interviews with people who said Ayala described putting a finger in the chili.
Many loyal patrons continue to support the Wendy's where Ayala made her claim.
On Friday, Tom McCready headed into the franchise and ordered two bowls of chili to go plus a baked potato topped with chili.
"If they've got 10 fingers, it's OK with me," the San Jose retiree said about the Wendy's employees at the counter.
He said he and his wife have supported the restaurant since Ayala's claim, heading there more often and ordering the chili. His opinion of Ayala's claim: "It's a crock."

SAN JOSE, Calif. - The mysterious finger that a woman claimed to have found in a bowl of Wendy's chili came from an associate of her husband who lost the finger in an industrial accident, police said Friday.
"The jig is up. The puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place, and the truth is being exposed," Police Chief Rob Davis said.
The discovery of the finger's owner marks a significant break in a case that has confounded authorities for nearly two months, ever since Anna Ayala claimed she bit down on the well-manicured, 1 1/2-inch finger in a mouthful of her steamy chili.
The case became the talk of the Internet and late-night talk shows and spawned numerous bizarre tips and theories about the source of the finger, including one about a woman whose fingertip was bitten off by a spotted leopard kept as a pet.
Authorities said last month that they believed the story was a hoax, and they arrested the 39-year-old Ayala at her home in Las Vegas and charged her with attempted grand larceny for allegedly trying to shake down Wendy's. But whose finger was in the chili remained a mystery.
The owner was traced through a tip made to a Wendy's hot line, Davis said. He said the man lost the finger in December, and authorities "positively confirmed that this subject was in fact the source of the fingertip." The nature of the industrial accident was not disclosed.
Davis said the Nevada man, whose name was not released, is cooperating. The police chief would not say if the man was in on the alleged hoax.
Police believe the man gave the finger fragment to Ayala's husband, Jaime Plascencia, who was arrested this month on identity-theft charges unrelated to the Wendy's case.
During the investigation, Wendy's said no employees at the San Jose store had missing fingers, and no suppliers of Wendy's ingredients had reported any finger injuries. Authorities reported that there was no evidence the finger had been cooked, and also said Ayala had a history of filing claims against businesses.
Sgt. Nick Muyo said someone other than the man who lost the finger called in the tip to the hot line.
Calls to an attorney for Ayala and Plascencia were not immediately returned. Wendy's did not immediately return a call to its Dublin, Ohio, headquarters.
Authorities are considering additional charges against Ayala and her husband, Davis said. "We are exploring all other options and avenues available to see that those involved in this charade will be investigated," the police chief said.
Wendy's has offered a $100,000 reward and has said it has lost millions in sales since Ayala made the claim while visiting her family in San Jose. Dozens of employees at the company's Northern California franchises also have been laid off.

I haven't eaten at a Wendy's since this story first broke. I know it is silly, especially since the story was false, but I think of the story everytime I consider ordering a bowl of Wendy's chili.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - A man who lost part of his finger in a workplace accident was the source of the fingertip used in an alleged scam against Wendy's restaurants, and gave it away to settle a debt, his mother said.
"My son is the victim in this," Brenda Shouey said in an interview published in Wednesday's San Francisco Chronicle. "I believe he got caught in something, and he didn't understand what was going on."
Anna Ayala, 39, was arrested April 21 at her Las Vegas home on suspicion of attempted grand theft for allegedly costing Wendy's millions of dollars in a plot to shake down the company by claiming she found the finger in a bowl of chili in a restaurant in San Jose.
Ayala was to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon.
Shouey, of Worthington, Pa., said her son, Brian Paul Rossiter, 36, of Las Vegas, lost part of his finger in December in an accident at a paving company where he worked with James Plascencia, Ayala's husband. His hand got caught in a mechanical truck lift, she said.
She said he gave it to Plascencia to settle a $50 debt.
San Jose police announced last week the finger was obtained from an associate of Plascencia, but they have refused to identify him because he is cooperating in the investigation. They did not immediately return a message Wednesday seeking comment on the newspaper's account.
Shouey said her son had showed the severed finger to co-workers in a macho display of humor and was desperate for cash when he gave it away "to this character, James."
"My son is a happy-go-lucky guy. He thought it was cute to show" the severed finger, Shouey said. "It's like a man thing."
Shouey declined to give details of how the finger was preserved or whether Rossiter knew why Plascencia allegedly wanted the finger. She said her son told her of his role only this week and is keeping a low profile after undergoing intense police questioning.
Plascencia was arrested earlier this month on unrelated charges of failing to pay child support in a previous relationship.

MALACCA: A total of 1.9 million employees aged 40 and above will enjoy the Health Screening Program (HSP) introduced by Social Security Organisation (Socso), starting this year.
Socso's deputy chief executive (operations), Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed, said the programme was aimed at enhancing the health status of workers.
He said HSP was an effort to identify employees facing risks of non-communicable diseases apart from promoting a healthy lifestyle among workers.
"Employees will receive vouchers that will be distributed via their respective Human Resource departments in stages, starting from January, where the employees can attend health screening at selected Socso panel clinics.
"So far, we have 750 private clinics that have registered with us nationwide and 250 are still awaiting approval," he said adding that Socso was targeting the participation of nearly 3,000 private clinics to make the programme successful.
Mohammed Azman was speaking to the media after the HSP Briefing Programme at Malacca Sosco headquarters here, recently.
Also present was the organisation's state director, V. Mohanadas.
Mohammed Azman said employees with vouchers could undergo screening for haemoglobin levels, glucose, cholesterol and urine checks to prevent diseases related to diabetes, hypertension, stroke and cancer at any early stage.
For women, he said they would get two additional screenings on mammograms and pap smear tests.

non locking turrets, and

bill price in VA
Response to
front focus, straight objective end.
their newer (and i guess 'improved') model has the non-locking turrets. i never cared for the locks, because they locked the turrets and not the crosshairs
after two days of continuous shooting (maybe 500 shots) there was no zero shift at any of the distances from 10y to 50y in 5y increments. that included first shot of the day, coming out of an airconditioned kitchen into a nice warm summer day, then with the gun resting in the bright sun, then in the deep shade.
this is one i bought after crosman told me they were going to ship me a replacement as soon as one became available. i needed a 2nd scope anyway, and i wanted to shoot this weekend. i felt that if they were confident enough that this replacement would solve my problem, i was confident enough to go buy one while the replacement was enroute. i am not disappointed.
it's sharp, bright, and won't rangefind any better (or any worse) than any other scope with the same magnification and objective diameter. even a swarovski would have identical depth of field.

(Apr 02, 2008) On March 26, 2008, the European Union Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), Peter Hustinx - who is in charge of safeguarding the personal data and the right to privacy of EU citizens - issued an opinion expressing his concern and raising a red flag over the European Commission's proposal on harmonization of security features on passports across the European Union. The proposal, which was introduced in October 2007, would require Member States to take measures to introduce biometric features, including fingerprinting, on passports and travel documents. The fingerprints would be stored in a centralized database.
The EDPS's main argument against the proposal is that it fails to adequately safeguard the right to privacy of EU citizens. In particular, he criticized the lower and upper age limits for persons to be fingerprinted. The proposal exempts children who are less than six years old and the elderly who are older than 79 years of age. The EDPS contends that the age limit for children should be raised to 14 to be in line with international standards. As for the elderly, he points out that fingerprints of older people become less reliable with age. The storing of fingerprints in a database would eventually also raise problems, he argues, unless the Commission took measures to ensure adherence to the strict EU rules on privacy and personal data.
The EDPS further commented that the Commission failed to consult with his office prior to submitting the proposal, as required by EU law. (EU Data Protection Chief Criticizes Fingerprint Plan, EUOBSERVER, Mar. 27, 2008, available at http://euobserver.com/9/25878/?k=1.)

Chinese Imperialism
China, in all its thousands of years of history, has never invaded India.
Let me repeat that: China and India have existed for thousands of years right across the mountains from each other and China has never invaded India.
In my lifetime a tiny very wet little idland in the North Sea OWNED India.
Wave after wave of Aryan and pre-Aryan invaders came across the mountains west of China and conquered and OWNED India.
China has never even invaded India.
In fact, with a tiny almost unknown exception that proves the rule, China has never ruled anybody who was not racially Mongoloid.
What others refer to as "Chinese imperialism" is what Europeans would refer to as "taking over buffer areas." For the giant China to take over southeast Asis is the equivalent of Fance taking over Belgium.
It would be aggression, but it would take a real stretch of the imagination to call a conquered Belgium The French Empire.
The Yellow Peril
I wrote in the article below that the Chinese are better at what Jews do than Jews are.
There are almost exactly one hundred times as many Chinese as there are Jews.
Nobody, pro- or anti-Semitic or neither, denies that Jews have a LOT of power. The natural conclusion would be that if twelve million Jews can have a LOT of power, one billion two hundred million Chinese would soon have ALL the power.
But there is a difference I find impossible to explain those who do not already know it.
If it were simply a matter of manpower or brainpower, the Chinese could have conquered the world long ago. This is the centuries-old Yellow Peril that is now being discussed again.
If any white country had over a billion highly organized, united people, they wold conquer the whole planet in a short time.
The problem is that you simply cannot GET a billion united, highly organized white people. When whites owned the world they promptly fought World Wars I and II and lost it.
This is NOT a coincidence.
A people cannot be both highly organized and creative. China keeps inventing things and either not using them or losing them entirely, like the mechanical clock. Aquatic rice was developed in India when it was white, but China built its whole culture around the paddies.
We have panicked over China taking over the world for centuries, but China has never even conquered its OWN highlands. China has always gone back to the paddies.
The official designation of Chinese-Americans used by the Chinese government is "Chinese living abroad." This is a continuation of China's official designation of itself under the emperors as "The Middle Kingdom."
And here is what is so impossible for whites to believe if they do not already know it:
China does not WANT the world. They want anything they can get from the world outside, but it is the world OUTSIDE.
When I say "China" here, I mean the Chinese mindset which is thousands of years old. I am sure some Communist idologues there want the world. But those are the true Marxists, and what it is impossible to explain is that Marxism, like rice, is something from outside China.
Mao-Tse Tung, for example, saw Communism as a way to return the peasant to the soil, to the paddy culture. His whole concept of economics was based on the idea that white advances, what he looked upon as capitalist advances, were based on some kind of trick which, if he could just figure it out, would make China as rich as the West was.
Mao thought he had figured out the trick when he started his disastrous Great Leap Forward. Mao decided that the West produced a lot of steel, and that the production of steel was our trick. So all of the Chinese economy was dedicated to theproduction of steel.
Yes, a grown man thought that. And yes, Western professors took it seriously.
The Chinese do not WANT the world.
The Chinese are not creative but they are great at bulding on what they get from the white man. Just like the Jews.
But better.
China is a permanent combination of the shrewdness of old age and a mentality so child-like that we cannot believe it.
The Yellow Peril begins and ends in China.
Reply to Tim
In response to my peice on "How Jews React" Tim says:
Maybe the Chinese will come and help them. Aren't they cozy with China??
The Chinese Jews are a forgotten but interesting sidelight of history. There were a number of Jews in China, but they starved. Everything the Jews were good at the Chinese were BETTER at.
The Chinese are experts at the networking Jews use so effectively against white gentiles, who are individualistic and as hard to herd as cats. All of hte business tricks Jews are good at are old hat to the Chinese.
And the Chinese could do it and live on a few bowls of rice when they had to.
As for the Jewish weapon of getting pity, the Chinese don't give it. Don't try to tell an Asian that he doesn't know what True Suffering is.
Fot Asians, the Holocaust was strictly minor-league stuff.
Jews are very good at taking white gentile breakthroughs — like the original Theory of Relativity — and exanding. Jews have high IQs in the sense that IQ is a test of problem-solving, not creativity.
The Chinese are better. And there are more of them.
Me and Antonio
Anonymous wrote that my last piece was unnecessary because my readers wouldn't be here if you didn't know I'm good at predictions and so forth.
My longer-term readers know that the last article falls less into the category of new information and more into the category of Bob Bitching.
You can see below that Antonio sent me a smart-ass note and I slapped him down.
Antonio didn't get outraged. He just said he expected that and the only reason he wrote what he did in the first place was because he felt crappy that day.
This is a blog. We bitch here some, we joke here a lot.
I try to keep my personal venting down, and usually the venting I do is aimed at saying what you wish somebody would say. One reason we're here is because we have a lot of things we are ALL pissed off about, and Ole Bob is good at saying it right.
But sometimes I have to bitch for myself.
I have lived all my life under a curse that is so old it is in in Homer's Oddyssey, the Curse of Casandra.
One god who like her gave Cassabdra the gift of prophecy. So one who hated her gave her gave her the curse that her perfect prophecies would never be believed.
That second god was a genius. The gift of prophecy turns into the worst of curses if you see what is coming, warn against it, and no one believes you.
This is a CRITICAL point:
Perfect prophecy is wonderful gift. But ever since Homer wrote it down no one has ever referred to The Gift of Cassandra. It has ALWAYS been referred to as the CURSE of Cassandra.
No one has ever denied that the gift of prophecy, or being good at predictions as I am, combined with not being believed, is a curse.
For almost fifty years I have seen EXACTLY what was going to happen to everything I care about and nobody believed me.
All those people who say, "Well, I began to realize what was happening when…" are concerned about themselves just as I am concerned about me. During all those years BEFORE they bean to realize what was happening I was talking to a stone wall of people just like them. They are just beginning to feel what I have felt all these years.
So when I bitch too much, call me on it as Anonymous did. But give me a little room for venting here for Ole Bob himself.
I guarantee that most of the things I complain about will be saying what you wanted to say if you had the time.
One special thing I can offer you here is an old pro with elephant-thick skin who can take it and dish it out right back at you.
It would really be weird if I claimed to be a professional in the areas I have been in and then turned around and acted hurt when I was hit at. The worst you can get back is a verbal slap-down. I am NOT going to go into the corner and mope.
And, like Antonio, you should realize that this lattitude stretches both ways.
If you can dish it out and you can take it, this is a great place to be.
We are not being graded. This is supposed to be fun.
And if it stops being fun, it is your responsibility let me know fast.

Sir Bradley Wiggins & Sky reveal Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix plans & how Lance Armstrong stories led to bullying of his kids
"Is your dad the same as Lance Armstrong?"
Sir Bradley Wiggins has revealed that he has a new target for the 2014 season: the Paris-Roubaix race, considered the hardest and most prestigious of the one-day early season Spring Classics.
Speaking at Team Sky's training camp in Majorca, Wiggins also expressed a desire to win the Tour of California, to help fill the "void" left in American cycling by the stripping of Lance Armstrong's victories, and to return to the Tour de France this year alongside team-mate and reigning Tour champion Chris Froome.
The apparently bitter rivalry between Wiggins and Chris Froome came to an end at a three-day team-bonding session in Majorca last December, where the two Tour winners had the chance to talk about the previous year.
"It was the first time we really just sat down in a room and talked, which we hadn't since the Tour of Oman last year," he said. "I think that was a lesson for us all for this year, just spending more time together. Then things don't get lost... you're not reading about someone through the newspapers," writes Tom Cary in the Telegraph
Looking forward to the Tour
It sounds like Team Sky has a simple plan for the Tour de France: Chris Froome as team leader, defending his title, and Wiggins as hugely experienced right hand man.
According to the Guardian's Will Fothingham, Wiggins said: "I'm looking forward to going back to the Tour as an ex-winner, doing myself justice and the team justice, and being part of that. A lot of it was coming to terms with [the Tour win] – I left home as an unknown and five weeks later came back as one of the most famous people in the country. I'm not carrying the burden that I did carry for four years of 'is he going to win the Tour?'
"We're actually looking forward to racing together. It's nice when it's like that. I want to do the team proud and do myself proud."
One area where Wiggins feels he can be especially useful is in defusing the "horrible atmosphere" that developed when Froome's strong 2013 performance led some to suspect him of using performance-enhancing drugs.
"I kind of felt I won the public over, especially the French public, two years ago," Wiggins said. "Part of that was because I spoke French. And I had a laugh with them. It's like the film Gladiator, you win the public and you win your freedom. I kind of won my freedom. Whereas the opposite happened with Chris if you like. It would be nice to go back to the Tour and, if anything, just take the pressure off Chris a little bit. Take some of those questions for him. And challenge people for him."
Team boss Sir Dave Brailsford said that the Wiggins-Froome rivalry was "no longer a story. Sorry but you've wrung that one dry. Chris is as committed to win this year as last year.
"Things happen, you see it with a lot of gold medallists, there's a lull, which is a human phenomenon, but I think he's managed it really well. We're totally determined it won't happen again. He's had his time to go and do all his bits and bobs. He will go a bit more steady this time, [in 2013 he was] trying to earn the respect of his team-mates and one of the issues or challenges was to try and refine that."
Froome and Wiggins are scheduled to race together for the first time this year at Tirreno-Adriatica in March. Their interaction will be closely watched for signs of a the return to the old rivalry or that the hatchet has truly been buried.
Paris-Roubaix: plugging a hole in Sky's record
Before the Tour de France, though, Wiggins' early-season targets are Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of California.
Brailsford described the Spring Classics as a "gaping hole" in Sky's palmares. Wiggins has been thinking about filling that hole since 2012.
Wiggins said: "Once the fighting is done in the early sectors, it's about spending long periods of time on your own, which I'm good at. It gives me a different dimension."
He doesn't think that there's much specific preparation he can do for Paris-Roubaix though. He said: "That's one of the beauties of it – it's sustained threshold, there is a lot of risk involved but other than the reconnaissance of the race, there is physically not much difference. I always remember the press cuttings from when I was a kid – Roubaix is always something and I'd love to win it, to be part of that final [shakedown], that final 40 or 50 kilometres, so many things come together to have to win that race, or play a part, even if it's doing a job for Geraint Thomas or whatever."
Brailsford rates Wiggins' chances. He said: "Paris-Roubaix is a race he's always liked since he was a youngster, he's always been there in the background, he's always felt he has got the physical attributes, so there is an opportunity. The Classics are a gaping hole in our palmares and we'd like to try and sort that out."
Going to California, Beckham style
In May, Wiggins plans to swap the cobbles of Roubaix for the rather smoother Tarmac of California. He returned from a visit to Los Angeles feeling that the Lance Armstrong scandal has left a hole in American cycling.
"Cycling is huge there and there is a huge void there. People in the US are keen on cycling but have been robbed a little bit with what's gone on. Then we will see where the future goes. As a Tour winner with credibility, with no skeletons in your closet, people look up to you and want to get on their bikes because of what you achieved one summer.
"That is quite rare, especially within cycling – there are not many of us Tour winners that haven't got a history, three or four, part of a very small club, and it's our responsiblity to preach that to the world."
Asked if he wanted to do for cycling what David Beckham did for soccer in the US, Wiggins said: "I wouldn't say that but who knows?"
Wiggins also revealed that the Lance Armstrong scandal led to his children being picked on. He said: "The Lance Armstrong thing in January... my kids started getting harassed at school. 'Is your dad on drugs? He won the Tour. Is he the same as Lance Armstrong?' My son getting bullied at school. I had to move my kids from that school and move them to another school.
"Horrendous stuff. Horrible. I felt responsible for that and it all added to my unhappiness at the time. But like I say a year on and it feels like a complete contrast. I feel much more comfortable in my own shoes now."
And what of the future beyond 2014? Wiggins is in the last year of his contract with Sky and said he did not feel right signing a new deal until the season was underway. And any deal will have to take into account his hope to ride for Team GB on the track at the Rio Olympics.
"That was where it all started for me in Sydney [2000]," he said. "To finish there, and hopefully go out on a high, would be great."
The renaissance of Sir Bradley Wiggins? This is certainly the sort of thing you'd want to hear if you are Chris Froome and (Sir) David Brailsford.
It is certainly refreshing to hear his change of perspective. I wish him luck this season, and you never know, Chris might get a cold in the mountains, and it'll be him in the driving seat....what this means for Ritchie Porte is anyone's guess though. I imagine the politics of Team Sky are far from a reflecting pool of calm.

Wiggins was 66/1 last week to win Paris-Roubaix. Wish I'd put a tenner on at that price, expect the odds to shorten now...

Think they missed a chance to win Classics when they had Flecha, who always seemed left to fend for himself somewhat.

In an unrelated matter - he was on BBC News (the Yorkshire regional news whatever that is called) talking about how he was looking forward to it coming to Yorkshire and how he missed riding it last year and had to watch it on telly.
Im sure he said somewhere that he couldnt bear to watch any of it?

good to see Wiggo fired up again.
He's done Paris-Roubaix a number of times so knows what to expect; maybe he can take advantage if the likes of Boonen, Cancellara and Vanmarcke are marking each other...
Obviously, the new cyclocross world champ Stybar will be trying to put right what he lost last year.
Let's just hope the race doesn't get decided by mechanicals.

If Chris and Brad go to the tour as strong, positive team-mates, they'll be hard to beat. Bring it on!
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice...

Actually, betting update - there are still a couple of bookies offering ridiculously long odds on Wiggo for P-R. Most have shortened to around 33/1 and will get shorter still as the race approaches. But I've just got a tenner on 66/1; real odds probably more like 16/1 I'd say.
Spartacus still favourite for me & you're looking at 5/2 at best, Boonen rather overpriced at 4 or 5/1. Good value around on Stybar though (9/1), and Chavanel available at 400/1!

Well, he's getting his shot in the Giro. And I imagine it'll be his only shot; if he fails to get the podium despite having the Sky machine working for him as leader then I expect he'll be on his way.
Funny old race this Giro. Not the strongest field, but certainly very competitive. For me it'll be a shoot-out between Purito & Quintana for the GC - but there are a good number of other riders who'll be challenging for the podium including Cadel, Porte, Uran, Basso (maybe), Horner (yup), and even Majka or Aru.

As with all sports its the things going on outside that often have the biggest impact on performance. Hopefully he has sorted out his kids being bullied but not good that he had to move them to another school. The Armstrong issue has impacts most of us could only guess at. I wonder if he considered speaking at his kids school to discuss drug use in sport.

Kids can be cruel, but they've usually also not learnt the adult art of not asking awkward questions (e.g. our small son in the changing room at the pool with his mother: "Mum, why's that lady so fat?"), so they're simply very direct.
Equally, doping has cast a very long shadow over the public perception of cycling, especially after some who vehemently denied doping finally confessed. It makes it hard to know who to believe.

My wife and I LOVE these equestrian mats. I found them on-line when we were researching resilient materials for our dog run in our backyard. The rubber is a fantastic surface for the dogs to run on and we love the convenience of having a backyard playground for them to exercise without worrying about the dangers of a dog park environment. Our order was expeditiously handled by our salesperson and we received the order with no hassles or delay!!! Our only regret is that we didn't order 3 more of the 4' x 6' mats to completely cover the very back of the yard... we LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. Thank you so much!

Guv to village execs, police: Protect the people-A A +A
Wednesday, January 22, 2014
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – "When you decided to serve as the public, your life has already been dedicated to protect the safety of your people."
Thus said Governor Lilia Pineda on Monday, as she met village officials and police chiefs from Macabebe and Masantol at Capitol, where she appealed for the protection of their respective constituents, whether they are government officials or ordinary citizens.
The governor stressed she was saddened by the recent killings in Porac, Masantol and Macabebe, involving a municipal employee, newly elected Barangay San Jose chief Danilo Manalang, and an ordinary family man.
She also lamented that in Porac, a member of Aniban ng Nakakaisang Mamamayan ng Hacienda Dolores identified as Arman Padinio was killed and three others were injured in a clash over the disputed land in Barangay Hacienda Dolores over the weekend.
The governor asked the barangay executives to take the spate of killings seriously and to take the lead in preventing crimes in their respective areas.
"When we won, we pledged to the people before God that we will do our best to protect them and make sure that our communities would become ideal havens of peace and prosperity," said Governor Pineda. (Kristine Venet Q. Andal)

Producer Verse Simmonds, who worked on her current single Man Down, told our US Team that the S&M star was putting the finishing touches to the follow-up to Loud.
"From what I understand, she is closing the album up now. We did two records for her that she really, really loved and I'm really excited about them as well," Verse said of him and his Jugganauts partner Sham 'Sak Pase' Joseph.
"They are records that we wrote and produced as the Jugganauts," he said, adding that a third track by the team may be included on the album.
But he said the new songs didn't sound anything like the reggae-inspired Man Down. "Nah, definitely not, because we always try to constantly – as producers, as artists – we try to always come with something different, a whole new sound," he said.

7. Communications Subscribers will recall that a survey regarding access to and use of the World-Wide Web (W3) was distributed to everyone prior to the broadcast of MTO 0.8, and then once again in the Communications section of 0.8. Despite two distributions the number of responses was regrettably low: out of over 500 subscribers, less than 10% (46) filled in and returned the questionnaire. The poor response might indicate indifference, lack of time, or mailing problems. In any case, the trend of the responses from the first survey distribution to the second remained stable: a majority of MTO subscribers (74%) are equipped to use W3, though only a little over half (56%) read their email (including MTO) on a machine that has access to W3. The number of times that subscribers use W3 averages out to between 2-3, though some use W3 as often as 10-15 times weekly. Almost 90% said they would read a multi-media version of MTO if it were available, and roughly 89% would make the commitment to learn the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) in order to prepare texts for a multi-media, hypertextual version of MTO.
If these statistics are any indication of subscribers' readiness to embrace W3, then MTO will, in time, begin to offer a multi-media version of the journal. As originator and present editor of MTO, I certainly would like to see it take advantage of the unique opportunities offered by network technology--the very things that distinguish the journal. However, "network technology" is an evolving, moving target. Standardization across so many hardware platforms and operating systems is fraught with complexities. Many of these can be hidden behind user-friendly interfaces, but only at the cost of escalating demands on users' equipment, as well as on the network itself. The staff of MTO could make a full-time job just out of pursuing the latest advances and adapting them for our use, and in the process lose sight of the very purpose of the journal: disseminating and discussing ideas, not experimenting with network technology. MTO should be a scholarly forum, not a technological laboratory. We should explore the technology and adopt it insofar as it serves the objectives of a scholarly publication. However, when technology begins to drive our efforts, we have missed *our* target.
As the survey showed, just over half of the respondents read email on machines with W3 access. Still, that leaves nearly half who don't, can't, or don't care to use W3. A multi-media MTO will put Bitnet subscribers out of the picture altogether. W3 tools are not yet completely stabilized. Demands on the network have increased markedly, decreasing its speed and taxing the patience of users who access large files (e.g. graphics and sound). Although a clear majority of respondents expressed a willingness, in the abstract, to learn HTML, when reality hits, how many will actually do it? Some HTML editors have become available, but how many authors will set aside their cherished word-processing programs, mastered with considerable time investment, in order to learn a new program whose usefulness may, for the time being, be limited to MTO?
Moving MTO into the W3 arena means a number of changes for the editorial and production staff, and for distribution and archiving procedures. More staff will be necessary to check and, if necessary, edit texts. More storage space must be secured at various sites in order to archive files, particularly large sound files. Site managers must be recruited to oversee such storage sites. Appointing staff and establishing storage sites will take time. MTO cannot enter the W3 arena overnight. Further, the network still has some distance to go before W3 is stable, reliable, efficient, and generally "comfortable."
MTO is an evolving medium in an evolving environment. The journal and its subscribers will prepare and be ready for W3 when W3 is ready for them.

1. RETRIEVING MTO ITEMS Items are retrieved by sending an email message to the MTO FileServer, mto-serv, or through anonymous FTP (see below). To use the FileServer, send a message to one of the following two addresses:
email@example.com (Internet) firstname.lastname@example.com (Bitnet)
Leave the "Subject:" line blank and as the body of the message include the following lines (no personal letterheads or signatures!):
path YourEmailAddress (Bitnet addresses *must* include .BITNET) send Item (specify item, as listed below) send Item (additional "send" lines, if desired)
After the word "path," enter your full email address (Bitnet users must include .BITNET). Be *sure* to include the word "path" followed by a valid email address. Without the "path" line, mto-serv will not know where to deliver requested items. To retrieve items from the *current* issue of MTO, after the word "send," replace "Item" with the one of the following options:
articles (= main article[s]) gifs (= musical examples) reviews (= review[s]) commentaries (= commentaries on past MTO articles) dissertations (= dissertation listings) announcements (= announcements) jobs (= job listings) package (= all the above items, in a single package) toc (= current table of contents)
path email@example.com send package
********************************************************************** CAUTIONARY NOTE: Subscribers with restricted emailbox space should be careful when using the "package" option. A full issue of MTO, text and musical examples, can be quite large and may "crash" an emailbox of limited size. It may be safer to request a few files at a time, and to remove them from the emailbox before requesting more files. **********************************************************************
For instructions on retrieving items from back issues, or complete back issues of MTO, consult the document "mto-guide.txt" (see below, on retrieving MTO documentation).
MTO items may also be retrieved through anonymous FTP. The site is: husc4.harvard.edu (NB "husc4," not just "husc"). Use "anonymous" as loginID and your email address as password. Change to the directory pub/smt/mto (with the command: cd pub/smt/mto). The file mto.current contains all items constituting the current issue; toc.current is the most recent table of contents. The individual items of the current issue have filenames that begin as follows: mto.yy.v.i, where "yy" is the last two digits of the current year; "v" is the current volume number; and "i" is the current issue number (example: mto.94.0.6). Refer to the MTO Guide for further information.
2. SUBSCRIBING TO MTO To subscribe to MTO, send an email message to one of the following "listserver" addresses:
firstname.lastname@example.com (Internet) firstname.lastname@example.com (Bitnet)
Leave the "Subject:" line blank and as the text of the message include the following single line (no personal letterheads or signatures!):
subscribe mto-list YourFirstName YourLastName
You will receive a message confirming your subscription. Once the subscription is confirmed, to receive the MTO Guide send a message to one of the "listserver" addresses shown above, and as the body of the message include the single line: information mto-list
To cancel a subscription, send the following single line to one of the "listserver" addresses (not to mto-serv!): unsubscribe mto-list
[NOTE: Do not send email to the "listserver" addresses for anything other than initiating and terminating subscriptions to MTO. Further, do not send email to mto-list@husc. mto-list is solely for broadcasting MTO to its subscribers, *not* for communication among subscribers, nor for retrieving MTO items (done with mto-serv), nor for communication with the Editor (address above). Please do not send mail to mto-list@husc, *nor* use a "reply" command on email distributed through mto-list.]
3. RETRIEVING MTO DOCUMENTATION Several MTO explanatory documents are available through mto-serv:
mto-guide.txt (the MTO Guide, also retrievable from "listserver") Instructions for a. subscribing to MTO b. retrieving MTO items (articles, reviews, commentaries, musical examples, and figures) c. posting items in MTO (announcements, jobs, dissertations) d. searching the MTO database authors.txt Guidelines for authors policy.txt MTO editorial policy software.txt List of available software (IBM and Mac) for MTO subscribers, and instructions for retrieving the software mto.index List of all files in the MTO archive (updated regularly)
To retrieve any of these documents, send an email message to one of the "mto-serv" addresses (not to the "listserver" addresses!), and use the format shown above ("path" line with full email address, and one or more "send" lines specifying the desired document[s]). For example, to retrieve the document called "software.txt," address a message to mto-serv and as the body of the message include only the following two lines (no personal letterheads or signatures!):
path email@example.com (Bitnet addresses must include .BITNET) send software.txt send authors.txt (additional "send" lines for more items)
The words "path" (followed by an email address) and "send" (followed by the desired item) *must* appear.
4. QUERIES AND COMMUNICATIONS Send all queries and communications (announcements, letters to the Editor, etc.) to one of the following addresses:

Judy Miller Alert! The New York Times Is Lying About Iran's Nuclear Program
Posted By kurtnimmo On January 9, 2012 @ 6:07 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,World at War | Comments Disabled
Robert Naiman
January 9, 2012
It's deja vu all over again. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is trying to trick America into another catastrophic war with a Middle Eastern country on behalf of the Likud Party's colonial ambitions, and The New York Times is lying about allegations that said country is developing "weapons of mass destruction."
In an article attributed to Steven Erlanger on January 4 ("Europe Takes Bold Step Toward a Ban on Iranian Oil"), this paragraph appeared:
The threats from Iran, aimed both at the West and at Israel, combined with a recent assessment by the International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran's nuclear program has a military objective, is becoming an important issue in the American presidential campaign. [my emphasis]
The claim that there is "a recent assessment by the International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran's nuclear program has a military objective" is a lie.

How sweet is this? Years after Luke Bryan left his Georgia home to try his hand at music in Nashville, his mom is paying him a visit on his new home turf just in time for her own red-letter day. Luke and LeClaire join host Nan Kelley for this weekend's Mother's Day edition of GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown. Watch this cute clip from the show:
It's a pretty good time for Luke. His song, "Rain Is A Good Thing," is at No. 14 on the Top 20 list, and just last month he claimed the Academy of Country Music's New Artist of the Year trophy. Luke was a bit overwhelmed at the time, but so was his mom.
"I think I was hyperventilating," LeClaire says. "When I heard the 'L' come out [of the presenter's mouth], I fell over into the lap of the man seated next to me, breaking a toenail and scraping my hand!"
She might be proud of her son, but Luke is proud of his mom, too. And that's part of the reason he brought her along to GAC for Mother's Day weekend.
"The more you father a child, the more you can appreciate mothers," says Luke, who's a dad and has a second child on the way. "Now that I'm older, I can more clearly see the sacrifices mothers make."
Top 20 Country Countdown counts down the week's top country videos from No. 20 to No. 1 as voted by viewers on each week on GACTV.com. A new countdown premieres every Friday at 8 p.m. ET on GAC and airs again Saturdays at 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET; Sundays at 1 p.m. ET; and Mondays at 10 a.m. ET. Viewers can vote for their favorite videos, as well as purchase Top 20 artists' albums and ringtones at GACTV.com.

All content within this web-section is available as a single PDF document and all the latest tables are available to download in excel:
The 'Businesses in Scotland' publication provides information on the number of enterprises (businesses) operating in Scotland. The main purpose of the publication is to provide an estimate of Scotland's business stock.
Within the publication the Scottish business stock is broken down by various dimensions including industry, business size, local authority area, urban/rural area and country of ownership. The publication includes all enterprises that operate in Scotland regardless of where the business is based.
The focus of the publication is on private sector enterprises, where the private sector is defined as including the following enterprise types:
Data is also provided on enterprises' employment and turnover. However, please note that there are time lags associated with the employment and turnover variables.
Statistics from the 'Businesses in Scotland' publication are used to provide insight into the characteristics of Scotland's business stock, and how Scotland's business stock has changed over time. The data are used to inform decision making and performance monitoring – both inside and outside government. More information on uses can be found in the on-line Businesses in Scotland Data Sources, Suitability and Uses Note.
The latest figures relate to March 2014 and were released on 5th November 2014.
The 2011 and 2012 publications introduced several methodological changes:
The latest 2014 publication tables on the website are consistent for the years 2010 to 2014 i.e. all 3 methodological changes above have been applied back to 2010.
Older tables, available in the Tables Archive, have not been updated to reflect the 3 methodological changes and are therefore not consistent with the latest tables for 2010 to 2014.
However, a high level Time Series for total (registered and unregistered) enterprises and registered enterprises has been constructed for 2000 to 2014. This long time series has been produced on a consistent basis as far as possible.
It is the aim to publish the Businesses in Scotland 2015 as soon as possible after the release of the Office for National Statistics' (ONS) UK Business Activity and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills' (BIS) Business Population Estimates for the UK and Regions publications, which are due out in Autumn 2015.

The TEMPEST 50/70/ models are equipped with a power regulator. This device facilitates easier loading: moving the lever to the FORWARD position allows the loading of the gun in short strokes. The power regulation is achieved by dividing the reservoir into two sections allowing the air to be released either totally or partially. When the gun is used at its lowest power the loading is easier as only a part of the air is expanded.
Tempest is a highly versatile pneumatic gun that features excellent power and balance. It is extremely reliable and well suited for fishing in tight quarters and low visibility waters. The Tempest barrel has a special surface treatment that makes it impact and corrosion resistant. Omer performed simulated sea water submerging test of 10 years and the barrel showed no signs of aging or wear. A new ergonomically designed pistol grip in soft highly visible thermoplastic rubber for easy identification from the surface if gun must be left on the bottom between surface dives. Each gun is tested and comes pressurized at recommended setting from factory.
Gun comes with a .30" (8 mm) Single Barb Spring Steel 7 mm Threaded Shaft with a Stainless Steel Double Barbed Tip. Also included with the Spear Gun is a Hand Loader, Hand Pump for charging the gun, a Shooting Line and Owner's Manual. Gun is available in 2 lengths of 19.69" and 27.56" (50 and 70 cm).
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.

So this is kind of a hard question to word or explain, but when do you know when your horse is ready to move up to a longer distance ride? I have an Arab mare that I have just started conditioning this year and I'm questioning my ability to know how fit she truly is.
This past weekend we did a 15 mile conditioning ride at GMHA in Woodstock, Vermont which was her first ride. I felt that she was well-prepared and we ended up doing pretty well. We had between 2 hours and 15 minutes and 2 hours and 55 minutes to finish the ride and we came in at about 2 hours and 40 minutes. I tried to treat it as another conditioning ride instead of getting competitive and I was very proud of how well she did, I never had to push her, in fact she acted like she knew exactly what to do. She took very good care of herself throughout the ride; eating, drinking, and relaxing. She pulsed down to 48 at the 10 mile hold and then to 42 at the finish. In the end we ended up placing 2nd out of 29 competitive riders which was a great way to end the day. Knowing that we got a final score of 97/100 was a great feeling.
Anyways, back to my question. When do know when its time to step it up? I know it all depends on the individual horse, age, fitness, etc, but what are some things you look for before increasing mileage or speed? I personally would like to do another 15 mile conditioning ride with her in June and then maybe aim for a 25 this summer or fall. I'm in no rush by any means, in fact I tend to be a bit hesitant to push my horses, but I want to make sure I'm not boring her or holding her back if she's ready to take the next step.
And here's some pictures of us at our ride last weekend. We had a blast

Disney's Zeke and Luther show had an episode titled "Skater Girl Island" which 1st aired in 2011.
"Riot wants to add a female skater to the team for the upcoming "Roll Into Summer" promo tour, and Eddie Coletti informs Zeke and Luther that they must hire the new addition. With their work cut out for them, they set out to find Skater Girl Island."
I know you all skate at "that magical place with no guys, just girls shredding it up" right? Ha! Funny stuff.
