Pursuit Ends in Seizure of Nearly 2,500 Pounds of Pot
MARFA, Texas Brewster County Game Warden Ray Spears was on patrol recently in Presidio County when he observed what appeared to be a spotlight out in a pasture at a ranch coming from a Ford Excursion. When he saw the vehicle leave the pasture and take off on Highway 90, he attempted to stop the vehicle, and the chase was on.
The pursuit lasted for approximately 18 miles with the suspect attempting to ram an assisting Marfa Police Department vehicle. Several agencies responded to the pursuit call and set up road spikes. The suspect and Spears lost tires to the spikes, but the pursuit continued. The suspect was still running and about to enter the city of Marfa when the warden shot out one of the tires.
"When he started running from me and I saw what type of vehicle it was, I thought there might be some contraband," Spears said.
And was there ever.
A check of the vehicle revealed 2,460 pounds of marijuana. The suspect and contraband were turned over to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents who will prosecute the case in federal district court. Juan Torres, 22, of 1417 N. Lauderdale, Odessa, was charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and illegal international importation of a controlled substance. These are federal felonies and if convicted, Torres is subject to a 10-year minimum mandatory sentence. He was arraigned in Alpine before a U.S. Magistrate and is being held without bond.
Spears said it is becoming more and more common for wardens to run into drug traffickers because they work a lot on ranches checking hunting licenses and drug smugglers sometimes cut through private ranches to circumvent checkpoints. But folks who are doing this are getting caught, as evidenced by Spears' discovery. The marijuana is being held as evidence by a seized property custodian and will be destroyed after the case is adjudicated.

Results 13,021 to 13,040 of 39903
I guess being honest though race is at the forefront of my mind more than it be might be for others. The discrimination my wife has received on account of it, systematically in employment for a year before it was taken to court, and once or twice in public, and also some of the stigma I have received for marrying her? Thats probably a factor. The consideration we need to make that we wont be able to move to certain places without the ethnicity of my wife being an issue, thats probably one too. If Im liable to be racist towards anyone in all seriousness its white people. Which if Im honest is still as bad as being racist towards anyone of any race, mentally I have to go along with that notion even if in my heart that feels ridiculous when I know what my wife has experienced and none of my white friends have.
And I get that ostensibly RPGs offer you choices to make your decisions on what people do, not who they are-but theyre normally on such a he said-she said premise that it hardly counts as compelling objective evidence on which to kill someone or condemn them to some sort of excessively punitive fate, which is the solution in 90 per cent of cases.
And avoiding the arbitrariness? Most RPGs you determine the fates of individuals on the basis that no-one can argue with your doing so, and then you happen to justify that as you wish. Youre such a centre of power though that its all tied in to the disempowerment of pretty much everyone you meet. Your opinion is only relevant because of your ability to massively force the issue if ignored. In real life even guys with big weapons dont just go around doing what they want because they tend to have social pressures exerting on them which means a monopoly on violence isnt the be all and end all, but pretty much every game misses this element. You are very much an anti-social organism in pretty much every game Ive ever played because you have no society which mechanically affects you which you cant manipulate.
Your primary interaction with the world is that of one of being in a position of supremely elevated power, not a moral agent. You can go out of your way to try and dilute that which is what I do in most games, to try and make it seem more representative of a reality I can understand, but the level of actual analogy to acting within a real community is absolutely minute.
So I personally dont see the difference between killing someone because youre a racist or because you decide theyve done something wrong, or just because youre a baddie and thats what baddies do. Its all a power fantasy. Its all about you, you can justify it how you like-thats the point, indeed-but out with the game it means fuck all. There's no morals involved in most cases.
Youre not even dealing with humans for the most part as we recognise them. Neither literally (obviously) or in the form of anyone whose behaviour is really recognisably human. People are nodes stuck to the scenery to interact with for the most part. I have seen thirty times as many Radscoprions as I have children in NV. Its still a great game, Im still enjoying the story and interaction and characters, but it doesnt have any semblance to reality. Nor does it pretend to.
Its playing the part in a play which is somewhat open to interpretation but your arc is telegraphed and tied in to the narrative. If you tried to do some stuff like share your wealth or just chill and live in a town you would break it. And also, it would be boring.
Im not even sure in hindsight if its possible to be racist in this situation. The only thing I have to object to on a racial basis is literally the skin colour of an individual. Racism is rarely as neat as that. I mean, accents arent even uniform because theres only about 6 voice actors so some black and white characters have literally exactly the same voice.
Its one of the reasons the Witcher does do racism well, theres a context to it and real difference between humans and non humans in more than just how they look. They do things differently and separately, theres a reason for prejudice for people looking for it. Racism stems from intolerance, and there is so little to tolerate or be intolerant of in characters in the majority of games that its all abit moot really. There isnt enough ammo there for bigotry, because there is hardly any personality or background of any stripe. I wish there were more racist characters in games actually because it would necessitate that they be far better written for it to work.
I love RPGs by the way and any game with an element of choice within the narrative, but it's as an actor in a scripted drama. Playing a good guy or a racist or whatever to me has even less moral consideration required than it would playing equivalent in a play or a film.
Im having a blast with NV, but its with NV the roleplaying hyper violent Ameritrash wild west simulator, not the NV which poses as some sort of troubling commentary on my own Id, which is how people seem to be reacting here. I find it very funny really, its such an ill-conceived concern/accusation.
I'm not playing anything. Oh I'd love to, on my brand spanking new ultra-rig that I built at the weekend but sadly the constant BSOD's are preventing me from pretty much doing anything. To be honest I'm just posting in threads willynilly to make up my quota so I can post my own thread.
A few things:
1) Of course you're an arbiter of power in an RPG: The whole point of a game is to enfranchise the gamer. That means that the gamer cannot be truly punished for their decisions, as that would be taking the power away from the gamer.
2) That does not, however, mean that you're not a moral agent. You are the sole moral agent, and like a god not only are you almost always capable of forcing the issue but are almost always immune to consequence.
3) As such, any act of caprice is entirely your fault, not that of the game. It asks of you to play judge in its little world, but all options are ultimately chosen by you. The more options, the more your actions are a facet of your own nature. Hence.
While most games are unfortunately situated around combat situations and thus killing is usually an answer, that's a limitation of the imagination of the designers - ultimately, our RPGs are really just combat simulators with extra bits tacked on for the between-combat interims - but not an excuse for the player.
Also, for fuck's sake, move. If people are giving you shit for miscegenation, holy shit on a stick get the fuck outta there and don't look back.
Just started Bulletstorm (which is still on sale over at Amazon.com for $4.99). What a colorful game this is, in terms of language as well as visuals. Seems like an enjoyable shooter dosis of dumb fun, the Skillshot system is nifty. The only downside so far is that it comes with GFWL.
Sometimes you will be able to tell at a glance, if not you'll need to click on "all playstyles" to get a better sense of what's going on. I'd recommend to report (or challenge in the site's own parlance) the times that seem off.

I am playing SMITE all day, every day.
And Factorio alpha.Currently playing RoboCraft, CS:GO, Smite and Eve.
So the predator challenges in Batman: Absorbed Compounds make me feel like a fanboy who dressed up like batman and got himself killed.
I am sat looking at some of he challenges other people have completed in less than a minute (after modification by completing mini objectives) and 10 minutes later I'm stuck in a deadlock by a set of guards that are covering each other... Ugh, I mean they are not all this bad, but the harder campaigns are monstrous.
I actually quite enjoy Nightwing and Robin's skill sets, but Catwoman's is completely rubbish. So... she cant glide(which is fine by itself, Nightrwing cant glide) she has 3 crap tools and when there is jammer she doesn't even get a "jammer is sorta over here" arrow.
I cant believe the game has so much of this content, the challenge "Chaos Theory" where you need to perform an inverted take-down on a guard wearing thermal vision gave me a chuckle, but generally the game is teaching me how wholly uninventive I was at fighting guards, disable this guns using the disruptor then walk to to them at punch them in the face, knock a regular guard out by blasting a heavy armoured guard at him with the electric dart thing... Oh, and countless more too.
I guess this one is staying installed.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

The one thing I really, really hate is the top of the world predator map. It's like they knew just the way to suck the fun out of predator and then shoved it in half the campaigns.
Ironically, an invading Forgotten Beast that shoots webs around manages to web some of my dwarves and got themselves trapped into their own cage traps.

Dwarf Fortress always sounds so great when someone speaks about it,but then when i look at ingame screenies i seriously can't tell whats going on. Is the game really that hard to learn ?
Your ability to traverse is massively limited, your ranged one hit KO(s) is a good starting point but the jammer doesn't really go outside, but what then? 3 choices present either you take the open windows and try pick someone or you can pull someone off the balconies. An ice cluster could be useful but guards seem resistant to luring.
The other predator maps mostly massively suit Batman, I think I will spend more time getting punched and shot.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

It is relatively easy to run a safe and small fort.
You will never run a safe and small fort. It has this crazy psychological effect that makes you go insane over time.
Sure, my fort has survived for 10 years through goblin sieges, forgotten beast attacks, food shortages so let me just try to put a waterfall in everyone's room to soothe them. Ah but the river freezes in winter so I'll need to pump magma 200 levels up so I can have running water for my waterfalls all the time. Well, get to work on those pumps guys! ( and at this point if you don't play with some storage and supply settings for your workshops to make the pumps out of magma-safe material you are going to have problems ) [ or if you give the digging orders wrong your guys will fall in lava, or flood your fortress.]
Then again when you reach this level it's rare that your entire fortress will die in one event. I mean, we're speaking of being able to build public bathhouses to teach your guys how to swim ( I had a fort that was surrounded by rivers, knowing how to swim was part of the militia training after the first fight when half my guys dodged the goblin attacks straight into the rivers and drowned ) and many more crazy feats of engineering at this point. What usually happens is your fort gets crippled due to "unforeseen consequences" and you give up on it. That or some forgotten beast with a nasty syndrome manages to spread necrotic dust on your militia who party with the general public after their victory. Then the disease kicks in and nobody can lift a muscle to breathe.

I tried recently and once again bounced right off the interface. Like the X series, it's another one of those games I'll never be able to play without someone in the room to assist the first time. I don't sift through huge fuckoff manuals and guides just to learn the basics. I didn't even read manuals back in the early days when it was practically mandatory.
Oh, yeah. I might get lynched for saying this but while I love the game, DF's UI is just terribad and barely navigatable. Seriously, Toady One really need to fix this
It takes a lot of getting used to, so try watching some video walkthroughs or learn the hotkeys by clicking around
Just been having a gander at some Roleplaying ideas in New Vegas, I had no idea people were so creative. Interesting ideas here include Jesus Christ, son of God, Sexually Deprived person, Retired Person, "A character like chuck norris,but not one that goes around owning everyone using his fists", King Leonidas of Sparta and founder of the New Vegas Saints amongst the more obvious choices.

Did you know?
South African professional wildlife photographers are among the best in the world.
Wildlife photography is something of an art. But even if you're an amateur with a brand-new camera, you can bring home some truly special shots.
Here are some handy photographic tips for game drives.
The longer the better. For wildlife photography you generally need a longer lens if you hope to capture the action. Anything over 200mm is good, preferably with an image stabiliser. Some point-and-shoot digital cameras also have good zoom ranges.
Ready, steady. It's no good scrambling for your lens, your beanbag or your camera, deep in a bag, when a lion is sauntering in front of you. By the time you get everything together, the lion will probably be gone. Get yourself organised before you go on a game drive.
Auto does it. Unless you're a serious photographic fundi, it's much easier to go automatic and let the camera do the thinking for you. And, in fact, some of the best wildlife photographers will tell you it's the only way to go. With wild animals, there's seldom enough time to fiddle with settings. Rather just get the shot.
Spares. Take along spare batteries and an extra memory card for your camera. You'll kick yourself if you don't and you run out at the crucial moment.
Bean bag. Try to keep as still as possible or your pictures will be blurred. Bring along a bean bag to rest on the window of the car and use this to rest the camera lens on.
Don't get out. Never climb out of the vehicle for a better shot, unless you have specific permission to do so from the ranger. Most major national parks have a rule about this.
Keep the animals in mind. There are times when you can get close to animals, and times when you cannot. Be respectful. It stresses animals to have vehicles too close to them, especially if they are protecting their young. Don't nag the ranger to get closer or drive too close yourself. It may not be safe.
Golden hour. Remember, the best light is early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Shoot with the sun behind you, unless you're specifically looking for a silhouette or a backlit effect.
Patience is a virtue. Be patient with your subjects. They won't always be doing something interesting as you arrive. Learn to anticipate what the animals might do.
Keep the dust down. Refrain from changing lenses while on a game drive. Dust is the enemy when it comes to sensitive digital-camera innards.
Lastly, remember that even common impala and 'lowly' dung beetles can be award-winning photographic subjects.
And don't pass up an opportunity, thinking you'll take a picture next time. Seize the moment!
Travel tips & Planning info
Best time to visit
There's something to see and photograph any time of the year in South Africa's parks. But shoot at the bookends of the day. The light just before and after dawn is the sweetest, as is that of the late afternoon, when everything turns golden. From mid-morning to mid-afternoon, the light is flat and your pictures won't look nearly as good.
Tours to do
If you're serious about your wildlife photography, it may be good to book a tour specifically for wildlife photographers (who can drive normal visitors mildly insane with their repeated requests for photo stops). Or you can go on a short course.
Length of stay
The longer you stay at a game reserve, the better chance you have of seeing more game. Consider 2 nights a minimum stay.
What to pack
Bring along a length of cloth that you can drape over your camera to protect it from heat and dust while on the game drive. This is aside, of course, from the camera bag, batteries, USB cables, memory cards and other photographic accoutrements. Don't forget a hat either – handy for shielding your face or your camera if you're shooting into the sun for a backlit effect.
Best buys
Duty-free shops at airports can yield bargains, but make sure you know how the camera works before you start trying to capture that once-in-a-lifetime shot.

SCOTT Mitchell recovered from missing three match darts to win a thriller against Paul Hogan at Lakeside this afternoon.
The Bransgore darter edged out the Basingstoke man 3-2 and 5-3 in the final set as a gripping encounter threatened to go the distance.
Mitchell missed a shot at 80 against the darts in the opening leg, before failing to hit 92 on his own throw in the second.
Hogan took out double 16 and then double 18 to wrap up the set 3-0 and move into a 1-0 lead.
A 180 and a finish on double-top helped Mitchell get his first leg on the board at the start of the second set but his poor form on doubles came back to haunt him as he missed three more darts to break 'Crocodile Dundee's' throw in the second leg.
But the Basingstoke star was becoming equally as shaky on his own double finishes and Dorset's Mitchell moved 2-0 up in legs with a pin-point double four.
Hogan raised the Lakeside roof with a 161 check-out in the third leg – reducing the deficit to 2-1 against the darts.
But he missed a valiant shot at 158 next up and Mitchell took advantage to take the set on double seven and level the match 1-1.
Four-time Lakesider Mitchell held his throw well in the third set as both men refused to give an inch, before the Dorset man buried a 132 score to leave double 16 in a spellbinding fifth leg. He held his nerve and moved 2-1 up in sets.
But Hogan hit back against the throw at the start of the fourth set, with Mitchell missing four darts to break the throw in the next leg. Already 2-0 up in legs, Hogan nailed 56 on tops to take the clash into a deciding set.
Another 180 from Mitchell was followed by double 10 as he went 1-0 in front on Hogan's throw at the start of the fifth set, but the double gremlins returned in the next leg when Mitchell missed two darts at double 12 to go within one leg of the match. Hogan hit double 10 to level.
Three darts at double 10 went begging for Hogan in leg three as the pressure began to tell and Mitchell took out double-top to set up a potential match-winning leg on his own throw.
But after some steady scoring, and having left double top from 126 for the match, Mitchell blew three darts at the red bit and was forced to watch Hogan take out 90 on the bullseye.
With the match now needing to be won by two clear legs, the pressure was immediately back on Hogan, who held throw on double 16. Mitchell then nailed 80 on double-top to make it 3-3.
Some poor scoring from Hogan, though, saw Mitchell leave 58 and he hit tops to break the throw and again go within one leg of the match at 4-3.
And this time the Dorset man didn't disappoint, hitting double 18 with his third dart having left 36 from 121.
Mitchell will now play either James Wilson or 2012 champion Christian Kist in the second round.

Dodgers squander chances, drop opening series
Offense unable to make Lincecum pay for issuing seven walks
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers already are showing their new hitting coach why they have a new hitting coach.
They lost Wednesday night's rubber game of the season-opening series against the defending champion Giants with a wasteful offensive flashback to last year, the 5-3 final score not doing justice to how the Dodgers beat themselves.
Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence homered for the Giants off Josh Beckett, who didn't allow as many baserunners as his opposing former ace, Tim Lincecum, who probably can't believe he was the winner after tying a career high by allowing seven walks in five innings.
But the Dodgers went 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position, stranded a dozen and gifted the Giants a pair of runs in a four-run third inning on an error by Skip Schumaker, playing second base to give Mark Ellis an early day off.
The trouble is, the Dodgers struggled to score throughout the series. Madison Bumgarner shut them down on two hits in eight innings Tuesday night and even Monday, when they won, 4-0, it took a solo home run by Clayton Kershaw in the eighth inning to get them on the board.
The Dodgers envision dethroning the Giants six months from now, but in this series, it looked like not much has changed in the past six months.
In fact, of the seven runs they scored in the series, Kershaw's homer was the only RBI hit. The other runs scored on a wild pitch, passed ball, two groundouts, a double-play grounder and a sacrifice fly.
"We had seven hits, seven walks, a hit batter -- 15 runners and we didn't do a lot with it tonight," said manager Don Mattingly, a former hitting coach now overseeing new hitting coach Mark McGwire and assistant John Valentin.
"You see seven walks and it means being somewhat patient, but we're still somewhat anxious when we get chances to drive in runs."
The fact that Matt Kemp is hitless for 2013 (0-for-10 with three strikeouts) is the most logical place to start, especially with Kemp coming off shoulder surgery and the vivid memories of last year's injury and the way the club foundered without him.
"I think Matt's pressing little bit, that's for sure," said Mattingly. "He's trying to get it going the third game and hasn't got a hit yet, it's the opposite of getting off to a good start. He wants to get the monkey off his back. But I thought he swung well tonight early. I don't think the shoulder is an issue. I think Matt's a little too fast right now."
Kemp said he actually felt normal Wednesday night after being "amped up" the first two games.
"It's only three games of the season, we're not panicking," Kemp said. "They got big hits and we didn't get the job done. Bases loaded and I hit into a double play. I've got to find a better pitch to swing at. It won't be the last time I have a bad series. I'm turning the page, not worried about that at-bat anymore. Today I felt really good, hit the ball hard a couple times, drew a walk. If I stay within myself, I'll be the 2011 version of Matt Kemp that everybody knows."
The Dodgers scored first, with Carl Crawford (3-for-4) getting it started with a single off Lincecum and coming around to score on a passed ball by Hector Sanchez. The Dodgers had the bases loaded with one out in the second inning and failed to score, then the Giants put up the four-run third.
"The game changed from the second to third inning," Mattingly said. "We don't get a run with the bases loaded and one out and they come right back and get four. The game swung right there."
Mattingly absolved Beckett of blame, even though he was ahead in the count of all six batters who got hits off him. Beckett went six innings, with three of the five runs earned. Sandoval's home run came on a high fastball that wasn't high enough and Pence's on a breaking ball.
"I made some pitches when I needed to and didn't make some when I needed to," Beckett said. "On Sandoval, I tried to go up there and the video showed I got it up, and I don't know if he was looking for it but he hit it good. Overall, I felt I was getting on top of the ball better today than the last couple spring starts."
The decisive inning for the Dodgers was the bottom of the sixth, when they loaded the bases with no outs and didn't score, as George Kontos came on and got a run-scoring double-play grounder from Kemp.
"We went at him with sinkers inside and with that closed-off stance, he doesn't really get to that inside heater very well," Kontos said of Kemp. "I threw him an inside heater and he kind of had a little bit of a defensive swing on it and luckily he kind of rolled it over to third base and we were able to turn two."

The Return of 'The Rules'? No Thanks
There's a fine line between useful advice and outdated nonsense—especially when it comes to dating.
–Piper Weiss, Yahoo! Shine
I can pinpoint the year my mother lost all credibility as a dating expert. It was 1995, the year Ellen Fein and Sherri Schneider's The Rules was published; the year my sister and I came home to find two copies of the bestselling book — based on a list of seduction tenets from 1917– waiting for us on the kitchen counter.
"Nineties women have simply not been schooled in the basics —The rules of finding a husband or at least being very popular with men," read the introduction.
What burned more than the thirty-five chapters that basically told women to shut their man-repulsing traps, was the subtext: Your mother was right.
Now almost two decades later, we know she wasn't.
If there's any question, a press release I received last week teasing Not Your Mother's Rules, an updated version of the '90s bestseller, due out in January, closed the case.
It reads: "Two million books sold in 27 countries later, the #1 New York Times bestselling duo is back with updated Rules for the twenty first century: NOT!"
Read Bride and Groom Marry on Twitter. Deeply Romantic or Deeply Depressing?
See what they did there? Not Your Mother's Rules promises to be exactly your mother's rules with a sprinkling of slightly-off references to text messages, email, and quite possibly, the Twitter.
Back in 2009, Fein and Schneider made their first foray into laptop-land with The Rules for Online Dating. In that book, they call an online dating profile an "ad," recommend usernames like "blondbeauty60" and suggest succinct email responses to potential suitors like, "nice abs."
If their advice was charmingly dated back in 1995, today it's just spam.
For further proof, turn to the New York Times Bestseller List. In the nonfiction section, there's a grand total of zero dating advice books. Women are increasingly turning away from romantic advice, in favor of commiseration and humor courtesy of famous rule-breakers. Today's bestselling authors like Ellen Degeneres, Mindy Kaling and Tina Fey, have found success by offering women one single piece of advice: "It's okay."
If you were to add it up, the three comedians alone break almost half of the thirty-fiveRules, including "don't talk too much", "let him take the lead" and "don't open up too fast"
What Fein and Schneider didn't predict in 1995 is what direction the women's "movement" would naturally take in seventeen years. Both women and men have changed and there's no amount of dates we can coquettishly turn down that will bring back the past.

OLLIE Devoto has hailed the talents of fellow youngsters George Ford and Anthony Watson as Bath's impressive start to the season was rewarded in yesterday's England squad announcement.
Fly-half Ford received the nod to join Stuart Lancaster's England EPS squad ahead of the Six Nations Championship, which was due to be revealed after the Wiltshire Times went to press yesterday morning.
The 20-year-old's fine start to the campaign was expected to see him replace Toby Flood in the England group, with the Leicester man likely to be overlooked pending his much-rumoured switch to play in France at the end of the season.
Ford was believed to be set for the nod ahead of Northampton's Stephen Myler, an impressive performance in Bath's 27-27 draw at Leicester last Sunday adding weigh to his claims.
Watson, who scored a try in Sunday's match, has also been receiving rave reviews this season and was also included in the Six Nations reckoning and Devoto, who featured alongside the former London Irish man as England U20s won the IRB Junior World Championship in France last summer, believes both players have considerably enhanced their standing at Bath.
Devoto said: "The good thing about George is he's pretty down to earth.
"I don't think his good performances have got to him at all.
"For me, working with him is fantastic. He really marshals the game well and talks to you all the time so it makes my job a lot easier.''
On Watson, he said: "He's improving game on game and this (against Leicester) was his best performance so far.
"I think he was outstanding on the wing and it's credit to how hard he's working. He's always in for extras and quizzing the coaches on how he can improve so I think he deserves all the credit he's getting.''
Bath coach Toby Booth admits his squad could take a hit with international call-ups over the next month or so, with the onset of the Six Nations, but he will not be complaining.
"We're going to lose some people to internationals and have further challenges around the corner but the mark of this team is how we deal with that,'' he said.
"We've got ourselves in a position in the competitions we're in to give ourselves a chance of moving forward and ultimately that's what we wanted at this stage of the season.
"The biggest compliment you can have is your players being recognised by their country because it's a reflection on your organisation and how the team is playing and where we are collectively.
"We want to push each individual to be the best they can be and if you become the victim of your own success then so be it."
While Ford's England inclusion has been much touted, the claims of Watson have also been pressed and Booth said: "He's an exceptional talent with lots of ability and an unbelievable athlete.
"You saw that at the weekend with his finishing ability. He's the first to admit that he's just stepping out on his career and we're still doing little bits and bobs with individuals.
"The answer is you never know (if he's ready) until you put him in there. Is he the finished article? Certainly not, he wouldn't want to be.
"The attitude of him and his colleagues has to be that you are only ever the finished article a minute before you retire.
"Anthony has kicked on since he's been with us and I think that's why we were desperate to get him here.''

Yakima MegaWarrior with Extension
Ok if you never want to put it back to regular length
This is good if you need the extra space, as I do. I only use my MegaWarrior with this. That being said, the screw inserts can be a pain/get stripped making removal a pain(I had to drill the screws out...not a fun process). This needs to be redesigned.
Excellent doing business with. I bought 2 at different times and the price increased. They match the cheaper price.
Will the MegaWarrior accept two extensions to add 44" of extra space. I realize this in not what the rack was intended for but just curious if it would fit two extentions.

A COMPANY which wanted to build a crematorium in Little Kimble have withdrawn their appeal against the rejected planning appeal.
At the end of October Wycombe District Council refused to grant planning permission for a crematorium on a 12 acre site at Doe Hill Farm.
Dignity PLC, who wanted to build at the site, appealed against the decision.
But that appeal has since been withdrawn.
Residents opposed the applications due to concerns about road safety, the environment and the change of land use.

Business groups have welcomed the Victorian government's decision to end a mandatory energy efficiency program almost two years early in a bid to end unnecessary duplication with the carbon tax and a similar national scheme.
Victoria's Environment Protection Authority last week began informing the 250 or so companies required to comply with the Environment Resource Efficiency Plans (EREP) that identifying and implementing energy and water efficiency improvements would now be voluntary.
The state government brought forward its sunset date from the end of 2014 to now "to reduce the compliance burden on businesses due to duplication with current Commonwealth programs, including the Energy Efficiency Opportunities program and the carbon price", the EPA said in a letter to participants.
The plan affected sites in the state using more than 100 terajoules of energy and/or 120 megalitres of water per year. The federal scheme covers about 200 large firms using 500 terajoules or more of energy annually.
"There's no longer the need for the EREP as there once was," Tennant Reed, principal national advisor for the Ai Group, said, noting that soaring prices for electricity - and soon gas - has made energy management more of a priority.
The program, which required companies to act on projects with a payback period of three years or less, had helped raise awareness of energy productivity issues, Mr Reed said.
Rob Murray-Leach, chief executive of the Energy Efficiency Council, said ending state programs made sense provided the national scheme is retained, if not strengthened.
"We support replacing EREP with the national Energy Efficiency Opportunities program, but they have to put more resources into EEO to make sure that smaller businesses don't face soaring power bills," Mr Murray-Leach said.
Victoria's scheme had helped many firms save money but was less effective than the federal program in assisting them to understand and manage energy use, he said, adding that many companies had considerable scope for improvement.
"Australian companies lost a lot of expertise in managing energy when energy was cheap," he said. "Energy prices have risen rapidly, putting Australian businesses at a competitive disadvantage to their overseas rivals."
A spokesperson for Greg Combet, minister for climate change and energy efficiency, also welcomed the Victorian government's move – with a caveat.
"We're encouraged that states are looking to reduce duplication and regulatory burden for business. However, this should not be an excuse for cutting programs to prop up state budgets."
Information and a range of tools from the EREP program, meanwhile, will continue to be available on EPA Victoria's website for firms wishing to continue to participate.

MEN and women in Worcestershire are being urged to Give Up Clothes for Good as part of a nationwide campaign by TK Maxx.
Since 2004, the store has raised £13.5million for Cancer Research UK as part of the campaign which sees people drop off their unwanted clothing, accessories and quality homeware in the special boxes provided in TK Maxx stores, with each bag worth up to £30.
Paula Young, spokesman for Worcestershire branch of the charity, said this year was the first year the campaign would run all year round.
She said: "Unwanted clothes really could save more lives which is why we're asking people to give what they can. All you need to do is fill up a bag and drop it into any TK Maxx store."
Around 130 children and young people in the West Midlands and Worcestershire are diagnosed with cancer each year, and the store in High Street, in Worcester City Centre is aiming at helping cure four out of four children instead of the current three out of four.
Donation bags and Gift Aid forms are available from TK Maxx stores but any bag – big or small will do.
The items donated will be sold in Cancer Research UK shops to raise valuable funds for vital research into children's cancers.
Cancer Research UK receives no government funding and for more information on the campaign or how to help, visit tkmaxx.com.

Have noticed in the past that when I deconstruct a vehicle that I'm still in it sometimes teleports me back to where I entered the vehicle. Think the Gal bug is related this (they both have to do with using the vehicle interface to forcibly remove someone, teleporting them back to where they entered it). I experienced the Gal bug multiple times, up until we stopped using the forced drop technique, not sure exactly how long ago it was.
May as well start trying it again, as good a way as any to see if the issue has been fixed.

David Topchian worked for almost three years to transform a 21-year-old Melbourne woman from a shy pet-shop assistant to a model gracing the cover of men's magazines.
But after the first of three breast augmentations, things got heated and, for Dr Topchian, unprofessional. As a cosmetic surgeon, he was banned from sexual relationships with patients.
Between April 2007 and January 2010, Dr Topchian treated the woman and performed three breast augmentations, five lip fills and a labiaplasty. After the first breast augmentation, the woman started sending Dr Topchian naked photographs of herself when she modelled for professional photographers. Dr Topchian was complimentary.
In July 2009, Dr Topchian invited the woman, who cannot be named, to dinner at a restaurant. Over the next month, they sent emails and text messages to each other and spent time on Skype. The evening before her third breast augmentation and a lip fill, the sexual relationship began.
Dr Topchian was living in Brisbane with his wife, where he worked part-time at a clinic, as well as working part-time in Melbourne. He and the woman spent a weekend in Brisbane together and he later gave her a laptop.
Soon after, he ended the sexual relationship, but, as the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal recently heard, Dr Topchian continued to email and phone his patient despite being warned by a colleague that he was jeopardising his career.
For several months at the start of 2010, there was no contact between the two, but in July, she sent him an email, outlining her financial problems, that her car had been damaged and she needed his help.
"Think very carefully about how you respond," she wrote. Dr Topchian told the tribunal that he saw this as a threat and emailed her back. "I will help in any way that I can."
He engaged his lawyers to negotiate with the woman: she was to sign an agreement to be paid not to disclose their illicit affair and delete incriminating evidence from her mobile and her laptop.
But, in September 2010, when negotiations broke down over her payment – she wanted $50,000, he offered $20,000 – Dr Topchian reported the relationship to the Medical Board of Australia. He told her there would be no payment and no meeting because he had told authorities. She said she would tell his wife and associates and the medical ombudsman. She never did.
The tribunal has suppressed the identity of the woman.
In its decision published this month, the tribunal condemned Dr Topchian's attempts to hide the relationship as careful and systematic.
"Dr Topchian made grave errors of ethical judgment in having the relationship and trying to prevent his conduct being exposed," VCAT senior member Ian Proctor and members Drs Barbara Burge and Aruna Reddy said in their published decision.
"A cosmetic surgeon operates in one of the most sensitive fields in medical practice, akin to psychiatrists and psychologists. They alter people's appearance to which self worth is often inextricably linked, perhaps particularly to the people who consult them."
The members said that the woman told two anaesthetists before surgery that she was taking antidepressants.
They said that the woman was likely to have been emotionally scarred at the way Dr Topchian ended the relationship.
"It is reasonable to speculate that the experience of being physically transformed, apparently leading to a transformation of life circumstances and experiencing an intense short relationship with the person who transformed her could cause psychological difficulties for her," the members said.
Dr Topchian had his registration suspended for one year, to begin at the start of next month. He was reprimanded and made to consult a mentor each month for the next three years.
An earlier version of this story suggested that Dr Topchian was a plastic surgeon. This has now been corrected.

Some West Aucklanders affected by yesterday's tornado feel they were not prepared enough to deal with the emergency. Three people were killed and seven were injured when the storm - including tornadoes - hit Auckland yesterday afternoon. About 250 people were left homeless and thousands of homes were without power after the storm, which is estimated to have caused $11 million worth of damage.

BOTTOM-placed Evesham defied the odds in the South Warwickshire Summer League Premier Division.
They managed a 2-2 draw with Stratford-upon-Avon 'B' despite only fielding one pair which warranted a penalty deduction of one point.
Evesham's available doubles took both rubbers with the other two awarded to Stratford 'B' as walk-overs.
The Vale heroes were Ray Foster-Morison and Andrew Crowther, who beat Ed Bosley and Sam Wilks 6-3, 6-4 and Sam Righton and Chris Marrow 2-6, 7-6, 1-0 (10-2).
Stratford 'A' lost their first league match at the halfway point of the season when a weakened line-up lost 3-1 to Henley-in-Arden.
Alcester moved up to second spot after an excellent 4-0 victory over Claverdon and Shipston- on-Stour remain fourth despite a week off.
In Division One, Chipping Campden took over from Bidford- on-Avon at the top with a 3-1 win over fourth-placed Ardencote Manor.
Bidford lost their unbeaten record when fifth-placed Studley surprisingly defeated them 3-1 in a close match, while Littleton retained third position with a 2-2 draw at struggling Inkberrow.
Littleton 'B' lost 4-0 to Stratford 'C' in Division Two although it took two tie-break rubbers.
Studley 'B' extended their Division Three lead to six points after defeating secondplaced Chipping Campden 'B'.
Division Four saw Inkberrow 'B' stay seven points clear at the top after they once again took maximum points in a 4-0 win over Pershore 'B'.
Second-placed Moreton-in- Marsh recorded a fine 4-0 win at fellow high-fliers Snitterfield 'B'.
HDA Redditch beat Inkberrow 'C' 4-0, while strugglers Alcester 'C' and Chipping Campden 'C' shared a 2-2 draw.
In Division Five, HDA Redditch 'B' held on to second spot after they beat Bidford 'B' 3-1.
Near the foot of the table, Henley 'C' closed to within one point of Moreton-in- Marsh 'B' when they defeated them 3-1.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - Investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying a robbery suspect who left a pharmacy empty-handed.
Surveillance cameras captured what Crime Stoppers is calling a "robbery fail."
It happened on March 18 about 11 a.m. at a pharmacy in the 2000 block of South Fry Road.
The suspect perused the greeting card section and selected a sympathy card to buy. Once at the register, the suspect came up short of cash and was unable to complete the transaction. He left, promising to come back with additional funds to complete the purchase.
When the suspect returned, he passed a threatening note to the victim, demanding the cash from the register, investigators said.
The victim told the suspect there was no way to open the register without making a purchase. The suspect left the store with his note and the sympathy card.19549500
A detailed description of the suspect has not been released.
Anyone with information about the identity of the suspect is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at (713) 222-TIPS (8477).
Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for any information called in to the 713-222-TIPS (8477) or submitted online at www.crime-stoppers.org that leads to the filing of felony charges or arrest of the suspect in this case. Tips may also be sent by text message. Text TIP610 plus your tip to CRIMES (274637). All tipsters remain anonymous.

Destan TV, August 5- 2008
Adnan Oktar: United States has already seen that it cannot succeed in this business. This is not something they can do on their own. Also Europe is not able to make it, they stand aside. Iraq cannot make it on its own as it is going to be destroyed in such a case and will face civil war and disorder. The problem between Palestine and Israel cannot be resolved, as well.The only solution is Turkey's taking the elder brother role through the region, Insha'Allah. Turkey needs to take this role. Only, it should be declared in an official way. Thus, peace, justice and ease will penetrate into the region and the economy will brighten up, experience a full recovery and all these states in the region will become the super power. Turkish Army is always applauded with affection wherever it goes. Turkish soldiers are kind, brave and fair. Turkish Soldiers are immensely popular in every corner of the world; Afghanistan, Somalia, Bosnia. What is the reason behind that? The reason is; Turkish soldiers are kind, respected and reasonable people. They are very conscientious and compassionate. They act in the most reasonable manner. They are gentle. Everybody agrees that the most convenient way of management will be the Turkish State's becoming the elder brother in the region.

Les Miserables is based around the turning point in French history, and it explores the nature of this change in terms of society, and uses this as a basis for explaining the revolution. It explains how the 'miserables', or 'victims', damned into a life of thievery and being the scum of the Earth aren't inherently bad. The society which has not given them a chance forces them to be bad, or do bad things. Instead of understanding their inner goodness and their plight to change their ways, or giving them some kindness or hope, they a... Read more→

It says: "Fantine falls in love with Tholomyès, a debonair upper-class student who obeys upper-class social customs and leaves Fantine even though she is pregnant with his child." This is wrong. Fantine was not pregnant. Ten months after the affair ended, Cosette was almost 3 years old; therefore she was already born when he left Fantine.

"In 2011, the numbers of private armed security teams went up significantly and that has been a big game-changer as well, though not the only factor," Olive said. "If that pressure is taken off it can all start to be unpicked relatively rapidly," he added, referring to industry and military measures to combat piracy.
It's nice to see some recognition going towards the efforts of armed security out there. They have been a 'big game-changer' and the statistics speak for themselves.
Although one looming iceberg that can really mangle the record of private armed guards are shootings that result in innocent people being killed. I have to imagine that we will see private maritime security industry involved in such a thing, and an example of how that might turn out can be seen with the shooting accident that happened last February between some Italian Marine vessel protection guards and an Indian fishing vessel.
In that accident, one innocent person was killed, and it is the type of deal that has been all over the news in both India and Italy. This kind of international incident would literally destroy a security company and absolutely embarrass the client. But it would also be the kind of incident that would put some extreme negative attention on the maritime security industry as a whole. The question is how do you prevent something like that from happening, and can you?
Logically speaking, it is bound to happen. So the prudent thing for companies is to actually prepare your legal strategic defense for such an event. To study how this specific event between the Italians and Indians, and learn from it to get a good game plan together. Of course you always want to refine your rules of engagement and enforce it with training and good management/leadership, but in the realm of combat, unfortunate things happen and companies must be prepared.
One final point is the use of the Letter of Marque (LoM) or a similar licensing system. This could be used as a form of protection for those armed guards on the high seas. If the ship's captain carries a LoM for that vessel, issued by the same state the vessel is flagged under, then in that case the state can identify through that license what they are legally willing to support when it comes to the defense of that vessel. Under the terms of the LoM, you can list all sorts of requirements of the vessel's protection team, and you can write up legal protections for that team and vessel.
The main point of this type of LoM is to get the state back into the game of regulating armed force on these vessels and provide some kind of legal protections and accountability. If states are willing to put their flag on a vessel, then why not go the whole way and allow them to issue a LoM or similar license for this kind of 'warfare on the high seas'? –Matt
Piracy plunges as more ships start carrying armed guards
November 30, 2012
By Michelle Wiese Bockmann
Pirate attacks on merchant vessels in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean fell 81 per cent this year as the use of armed security guards on ships acted as a "game-changer," according to the European Union's naval force.
There were 34 attacks by Somali pirates, with five vessels hijacked so far in 2012, compared to a record 176 assaults in the whole of last year that resulted in 25 ships seized for ransom, according to Peter Olive, the EU Naval Force's chief of staff.
Ransom payments to Somali pirates totaled $36 million so far this year, compared with $147 million last year, he said Thursday at a briefing at the EU's naval force headquarters at Northwood, England. As well as more aggressive military operations, the increasing deployment of private guards over the last 18 months on vessels transiting high-risk areas contributed to the declines, Olive said.
"In 2011, the numbers of private armed security teams went up significantly and that has been a big game-changer as well, though not the only factor," Olive said. "If that pressure is taken off it can all start to be unpicked relatively rapidly," he added, referring to industry and military measures to combat piracy.

HARRY Etheridge reckons Supermarine can keep their strong Division One South & West form going until the end of the season.
A spate of postponements has left the South Marston side with 24 games between now and April, with Cinderford away the first of these on Saturday. However, midfielder Etheridge feels that even if the Marine squad is stretched by multiple fixtures, the team can still keep positive results coming in.
He said: "It's going to be hectic. With loads of games coming up it's going to be difficult to keep the same team week in, week out.
"When we've been playing well Dave (Webb, boss) has said he will try and keep the same team, but with 24 games coming up that's going to be tough.
"But we chopped and changed quite a bit when we won 10 on the bounce so it can be done."
It looks like Marine's long-term injury victim Dan Wallington will miss the rest of the season due to a sporting hernia.
Elsewhere in the division, Cirencester manager Brian Hughes has hailed new keeper Glyn Garner as a pleasure to deal with.
The Centurions have struggled to find a regular stopper this season but former Welsh international Garner appears the perfect fit.
"I am so massively pleased to have Glyn on board," said Hughes, whose side visit high-flying Hungerford tomorrow.
"We have had lots of problems with our goalies over the last 18 months but Glyn has been a breath of fresh air.
"He has already indicated that he wants to be involved with us next season as well."
Ciren have also been bolstered by the signings of right-back Shane Anson and Cirencester Academy winger Josh Morse, while initial loanee Leigh Henry is now on non-contract terms after Maidenhead agreed to cancel his deal at York Road.
In the Southern Premier, Chippenham boss Nathan Rudge has told his players to forget about the disappointing defeat to Banbury last weekend.
The Bluebirds were sunk 2-0 by the Puritans and have not won in the league since December 1.
But with a home clash against Bideford coming up this weekend, Rudge is keen for his squad to mentally move on.
He said: "We can't dwell on it. I've been in football long enough to know that you can't do that and all you should concentrate on is putting it right as soon as you can, which we'll work on in training. "We've just got to draw a line under it. Manchester United lost 6-1 to Manchester City so every team has days like that." Chippenham winger Luke Ballinger will skipper England at the main qualifying round for the European Championships in March, after the Three Lions came through the preliminary stages.

Did you know?
Duggan-Cronin's photographic collection managed by Kimberley's McGregor Museum numbers more than 7 000 priceless negatives.
This is the story of a Kimberley mine compound guard who bought a cheap box camera and became a South African photographic legend.
You see photographs of Alfred Martin Duggan-Cronin and his travelling sidekick, Richard Madela, sitting around a fire at their tented bush camp deep in the wilderness and you just know that these men lived the kind of life for which the legendary adventurer-author Ernest Hemingway would have paid dearly.
They travelled the length and breadth of southern Africa to photograph its indigenous peoples, just in time to capture the age-old customs and traditions before the colonial migrant labour system changed them forever.
The Thandabantu exhibition at the Duggan-Cronin Gallery in Kimberley shows but a delicious fraction of his body of work gathered over 50 years of field trips. It is, truly, the most significant collection of southern African ethnographic photography in the world.
Duggan-Cronin, an Irishman from County Cork, came to work for the De Beers diamond mining company in Kimberley in 1897, starting as a compound guard and transferring later to the prison hospital.
After he bought his camera in 1904, his first human subjects were the mine workers. Obviously intrigued by where they all came from, he began to travel extensively all over the region, covering nearly 130 000 km in the 20 years between the two World Wars.
From 1930, Richard Madela began travelling on assignment with Duggan-Cronin, and is recognised as being key to winning over suspicious photographic subjects in far-flung rural places. In 1932, Duggan-Cronin resigned from De Beers and thus began their full-time forays.
Supported by Kimberley's McGregor Museum, the South African government and the Carnegie Foundation, Duggan-Cronin's photographs are priceless records of traditional settings, from the San of the Langeberg to deep Zululand, the people of Limpopo to the Pondo and Xhosa of the Eastern Cape. The two men travelled beyond the borders of South Africa to Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia in search of interesting faces and places.
Along the way, Duggan-Cronin picked up the nickname of 'Thandabantu' – Matabele for 'someone who loves people'. The name is reflective of the care and respect he and Richard Madela showed their subjects at all times.
Unfortunately, Father Time did not show a similar respect for Duggan-Cronin's massive legacy of photographs. The nitrate-based negatives were found to be potentially combustible and they were also starting to deteriorate.
Robert Hart of the McGregor Museum – who is now the custodian of this great collection – was sent to Paris to train under Anne Cartier-Bresson, one of the world's leading photographic conservators. The collection has been saved and is now a timeless record of a distant, more romantic, era in southern Africa.

Download 'yer update 'ye landlubbers!
iOS 5.1 Beta 2 has been released to Apple developers today from the developers page of Apple's Web Site. The build number of his iOS version is 9B5127c and it supports every iOS 5 device.
The update doesn't appear to come with any amazing new features however it carries over some updates from iOS 5.1 Beta 1 (found and reported by 9to5Mac) such as:
- A "geofencing" setting that can help stop battery drain with the Reminders app when you're not using it.
- There is now a 'Use Cellular Data' option to sync iTunes Match music in the iTunes Match settings.
Nothing out of the ordinary just some minor bug fixes and tweaks. If we find anything else in iOS 5.1 Beta 2 we will keep you posted!
One thing to note is that iOS 5.1 is coming and its right on the horizon. The Chronic Dev Team's untethered jailbreak will work for iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 users but iOS 5.1 will likely not be included. We recommend that the Chronic Dev Team holds off until iOS 5.1 is released to see if it will work on iOS 5.1 and if it does not then just release it for the older firmwares. iFaith provides a viable option for ALL users to get back on iOS 5.0 or iOS 5.0.1 if they need to so there are no excuses.
Are you downloading iOS 5.1 Beta 2? Share in the comments below!

SMWC hosts STEM conference for middle school girls
October 9th, 2013 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) will host the sixth annual Expanding Your Horizons Conference for girls in middle school on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013. Expanding Your Horizons in Science and Mathematics™ (EYH) conferences nurture girls' interest in science and math courses to encourage them to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The conference is open to girls in grades 6-8 and their parents, teachers or troop leaders. Through exciting and interactive hands-on workshops, participants learn that studying STEM can be fun.
Keynote speaker, Amanda Wrigley, Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator at WildCare Inc. in Bloomington, Ind., has a background in Outdoor/Experiential education. She specializes in treating injured and orphaned water birds and reptiles, but she is also licensed to treat mammals. She has developed some of WildCare's environmental education curriculum and is the head trainer of some of the wildlife ambassadors. She has more than 20 years of experience training horses, birds, and dogs.
There are 11 workshops available in which participants will meet with mathematicians, engineers and scientists who live and work in the Wabash Valley. These local workshop leaders will relate how they use math and science in their careers.
While the focus of the EYH conference is to provide hands-on learning experiences for girls, the conference offers a special session for accompanying adults to provide information on educational and career opportunities involving STEM. Participants will learn how to encourage and motive girls to remain interested in math and science. Karen Dyer, vice president for advancement and enrollment management at SMWC, and Susan Gresham, director of the career development center at SMWC, will lead the discussions.
The girls will experience the fun of mathematics and science in two of the following workshops:
Have you ever seen an owl up close? Are you curious about different kinds of owls? How do we know what owls hunt and need for their survival? Besides meeting an owl ambassador, you will have an opportunity to dissect an owl pellet and engage in your own scientific discovery!

I also have an Edge Pro, although it has been many months since I have used it, as I freehand sharpen nowadays.The article you referenced is one person's opinion, and not anywhere near mine. Please don't take it as definitive of how to sharpen your knife, because it is not. I would suggest that you disregard everything in the article that pertains to sharpening, especially the notion that nothing lower than a 5k stone is appropriate for your Suisin. There is nothing "special" about the steel that made it "crumble" after using a Beston 500 - the edge problem was strictly the fault of the sharpener.The most important thing to keep in mind when sharpening is to remove as little metal as necessary. Too many people seem to think that every sharpening session has to start with a coarse stone and move through a progression of stones. Following this prescription blindly will dramatically decrease the life of your knife. Choose to start with a grit appropriate to the task. If the knife has a chip in the edge that needs to be taken out, or if you are sharpening an extremely dull knife, or if you are thinning the blade then the coarse stone may be the best starting point. In most cases, a medium grit is more appropriate. On a knife like the Suisin it will likely be several months before you need to use a coarse stone, unless you need to repair it. I would go so far as to suggest that you try the EP polishing tapes for touching up your Suisin before you use any stone on it.As far as the stock EP 1000 stone, please note that it is the equivalent of a 2000-3000 grit Japanese waterstone. For a gyuto, this is probably as high as you need to go.

Redskins want RG3 to avoid hard hits
Robert Griffin III has taken so many hard hits that he's going to tone down the trickery.
The Washington Redskins rookie quarterback said Wednesday that he's going to start making it clear that he doesn't have the ball when he hands it off on an option play.
By selling the fake, Griffin has been vulnerable to jarring, legal hits from defenders. Coach Mike Shanahan says he doesn't want Griffin taking that many shots.
Griffin says, "I guess I'll just be running with my arms open a lot more."
He is getting hit plenty on other plays. He has 32 carries this season — eight more than any other quarterback. He's also been sacked nine times.
The Redskins play at Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Ginkgo Contemporary Menorah
I must confess, my biggest surprise about this modern menorah is that it's available at Walmart. It's called the Ginko oil lamp menorah, but that's because it's shaped like a modern version of a Genie's oil lamp, not because it burns oil. It doesn't, it takes candles. And yes, it kind of looks like a big whistle.
