You need some money, but getting a job takes too long and requires, you know, work. So why not try home invasion? We hear it can be lucrative. And if you're going to go to all the trouble of busting into someone's home, better to do it with overwhelming numbers. Which probably explains why five – count 'em, five – guys broke down the door to a Fairborn, OH residence Monday night. Trent Seitz and Christopher Muse were home at the time, and probably couldn't believe their eyes when the five bulled their way in and started waving a pistol around. Lucky for them, it was a plastic gun. Even more fortunate, Muse had a real one . . .
The dood flashing the plasti-gat was Anthony Berwick. Imagine his surprise when Muse pointed a pistol his way that actually went bang and opened a hole in his leg. One of Berwick's accomplices, Ta'Vaun Fambrough, was probably even more shocked when a round from Muse's firearm tore through his torso.
From wdtn.com:
"Seitz and Muse have not been charged in the fatal shooting," said Sgt. (Paul) Hicks, who is calling this incident, self-defense.
Fambrough's next of kin have, by now, likely been notified. The remaining members of the Fairborn Five are now guests of the taxpayers and have been charged with various felonies. So remember, as this case so clearly demonstrates, no one really needs more than ten rounds to defend themselves. Unless, there are a lot of bad guys. Or they have real guns. Or you miss.

One can only hope that this is one of those jurisdictions where the other perps get charged with murder if one of their accomplices dies violently in the course of committing their crimes. Yes, this is a real thing that actually exists. I didn't know about it myself until late last year.
Illinois is actually that way, personally I think that law is absurd. It gets even sillier, if you let someone borrow your car, and they kill someone, even if you didnt know they were going to do something illegal, you can be imprisoned for the rest of your life. It happened to Paul Modrowski.
How Moronic Can Things Get?
According to Wikipedia, it looks like a no on felony murder in Ohio: Wikipedia link.
Baby Jesus grinned!
Good for the homeowner. Of course he didn't really NEED his gun and just should have reasoned with the wayward youths.
true. and the home owners were not killed so according to pierce morgan they should not have been able to shoot the invaders.
Piers The Dim actually referred to self-defense as murder recently before thinking better of it and half-heartedly correcting himself. Oops 🙂
Well you can't fix stupid, but you can certainly shoot it dead.
In NY, +10 is actually +7.
Isn't that fixed?
Sounds fixed to me.
Winner! I'm totally going to deploy that at the next opportunity.
Had he lived in new York there would have been, at best, 1.2 rounds per bad guy!
and it's a fallacy to believe in the one shot stop mentality. either very lucky or a really big bullet to do that most of the time.
"Down the side of your gun is written "Replica". Down the side of mine is "Desert Eagle .50….."
+100 …And something about 'mincy little f—- balls' too.
+1,000 for SNATCH reference.
And yeah, five guys in a home invasion attempt should be all the evidence people need that:
-10 round mags aren't enough
-2 round side by side shottie is OK, but a 8+ round pump is better
-30 round mag + HOME DEFENSE rifle is totally appropriate
"The weight, is good. If it does not work, you can always hit him with it."
So Mr.Berwick has a hole in his leg.
Sounds like Mr. Muse could use a little time at the range.
Still one (1) out of two (2) ain't bad.
And he did have his gun handy.
weren't there, you don't know what available shots he had, or if he was shooting while drawing because of bad guy's distance. how many shots he actually fired, if that was the best shot he had because of transitions, or if he was moving while shooting. etc…
Exactly. Especially if the homeowner was retreating up a staircase into concealment, the leg shot might have been all he had.
Even if he had a clean view, a self-defense situation isn't as calm as a day at the range.
See Chill Bill
Chill Bill!
Read it again. Then try to take it in the context it was written (typed, keyboarded, whichever is right).
Could be as you say or any of many other senerios.
Then again could be he needs more time at the range.
Yeah, thats too bad about fambrough,well, not really. Maybe we can hear about the wrongfull death lawsuit now, cut short in the prime of his life as it were. He was gonna be a doctor you know, Randy
A Doctor Randy. Really!
I didn't know that, but I was sure he was a good boy.
maybe was aiming for femoral artery 🙂
There is a school of thought that a pelvic shot is much more quickly disabling than a torso shot – unless the latter is in the ten spot. Lots of blood vessels, bone to aid in internal ricochet, and a good chance of cracking the pelvis.
My personal training is pelvis, COM torso, cranial triangle in that order, if possible and necessary.
Hi great unknown,
Just a thought.
The human brain contains enough oxygen to allow a person full deliberate action for up to fifteen (15) seconds after the heart has stopped pumping blood.
Even if you hit the heart, completely destroying it, your assailant could continue deliberate aimed fire for up to fifteen (15) seconds before losing consciousness. Longer, possibly much longer from a less serious hit. I'm sure you remember the Miami- Dade County shootout. If not, very informative reading.
The only way to insure an instant stoppage is with a CNS hit. Sever the spine and no movement below the point of impact. Brain hits will also incapacitate MOST of the time ,but there have been cases where they did not. Usually small caliber.
Yes it is very difficult to place a shot so precisely as to be sure of a CNS hit, but when the chest is hit you have a chance. With the pelvic area you do not. You also have a chance to stop the heart, collapse one (1) or both lungs. The abdomen contains the liver, a large major blood organ and many lesser organs. Also the torso is much larger than the pelvic / leg area.
Yes I know it sounds like I am talking down to you.
It sounds that way to me too.
Please believe that I am not.
Also I am not an expert, far removed.
You may very well be.
If so, please say so. I have questions.
But I have done extensive research, over many decades.
I have also made many mistakes.
I have heard of this pelvic shot theory, but I find it difficult to believe hitting the femoral artery would be any easier than the CNS. Of course the CNS, other than the brain, is deeper and requires more penetration. (Other than a back shot. Probably difficult to explain.) Shattered bone will possibly render a leg inoperable, slowing the perp down.
But I have no interest in slowing him down. Nor do I relish a slow bleed out. I want him stopped now.
I believe the best chance of doing this is with a center mass shot. There is just more vital stuff to hit.
Like someone said," Aim for the center. That way if you miss a little you will still hit something".
No offense intended. Honestly.
Just a thought.
One last thought.
I have put down more than a few bad guys. Well they weren't really bad, they just didn't like me.
No one ever said," Damm man, shoot 'em in the leg!"
He probably couldn't find any ammunition to practice with.
Great movie jwm vinnie jones is the man
Why are the Brits so cool in the movies, but in the real world…..
they're fat and stupid? oh, that's us too.
At least we have good teeth. . . . And guns.
Watch it Thomas!
I am not fat!!
I'm fat… but I have a MS in Organic Chem, so let's can the stupid part.
Ta'Vaun? That a character from Stargate?
Well played.
Nah, sounds more like a Star Trek Vulcan name. Though I think the person in this case missed the logic lessons as breaking and entering with a fake gun is not logical at all.
But noooo… according to Feinstien and McCarthy they want you to be victims!
What if they would have all been armed, for real? Yeah, limit my magazines you government dicks. Feinstein, go f!@k yourself. If this were me, the first gun I'd grab would be the AR because of its accuracy and capacity. Shotgun, maybe, but it has limited capacity, pain to reload, and in some cases higher chance of colateral damage. especially with a high number of assailants, with the shotgun's recoil, it takes longer to transition to the next bad guy.
They had a video up here this weekend. At a range, an instructor gave a girl a AR. Told her to put five rounds into 5 silhouettes. Took her 30 seconds. Handed another girl a 12 gauge semi auto. One shot per silhouette. 3 seconds. Last shot was a little off. They did this to show the lethality( and lack of accuracy) of "grand dads old duck gun. So you're certainly half right.
If the DA was really interested in reducing crime, the surviving perps should be charged with felony murder.
Kudos for saving the taxpayers the expense of one trial and incarceration. Next time let's try to do better with the other 4.
You shoot to kill. What other people revel in is not my problem.
big +1…anyone stepping, excuse me, BUSTING into another's house has entered the jungle and deserves no consideration whatsoever. Center mass it is, how do you know what it takes to "stop the threat?" you don't know if they're pharmaceutically aided and can't feel a thing, or how many of them there are…etc. etc.
So, as people become more desperate in a down economy (down 1% as of Q4 2012), it'll become more common to see criminally-inclined youths ganging up to take on John and Jane Homeowner.
Remind me again why 7 is the new 10?
I got an email noting that a coworker was jumped by four such youths en route to campus. Not a robbery, just a beating–and the advice given is "do not resist." I'm really hoping my state goes "shall-issue" soon, not that I'd be able to carry to and from work.
Back in the pre-PC days, the same advice was given to rape victims: lay back and enjoy it. Feminism has put a stop to that abominable "advice", but now it has been repurposed to other crime victims.
One of the important arguments we have to make during the upcoming culture wars is how important guns are to women for self defense.
It is such an important point that during the Senate hearings today, it was brought up by Gayle Trotter of the Independent Women's Forum. And because the libs realize how powerful this point is, she was heckled by both members of the audience and by a Senator:
When you know where it hurts, keep hitting them there.
I wrote a little about it here: http://2wolvesandalamb.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/women-and-guns/
If that campus is a gun free zone, shall issue wouldn't have made a difference.
I'm grateful for stories like this that throw me back into reality. Sometimes I think that I'll always have time to run upstairs and grab my rifle, but instances like this remind me that I need to be armed ALL the time. Thanks.
This incident occurred in Greene County (next door to where I live), and they *love* to whack criminals there. I would expect a murder charge to be added to the list of charges in due course by the Grand Jury.
It isn't emotionally mature or morally right that I found Dan's story funny.
Let's not forget that ammo sometimes chooses not to go bang or you have a malfunction that requires you to lose a round.
Why do we need detachable magazines over archaic fixed magazine designs? Maybe the mag fails. With one magazine only you better have another gun ready as you will not have time to whip out your multi tool.
The Felony Murder rule, generally speaking if you are a perpetrator of a felony, and but for the commission of that crime the death (or other harm along similar veins) would not have occurred then you are liable and responsible for that harm. Used to ensure that any ancillary deaths (those not directly intended from the crime but result from it none the less) are accounted for by the perpetrator(s). So essentially, since Muse would not have shot and killed Mr. Fambrough without the commission of the home invasion, the 5 (well 4 now) gentlemen who kicked the door down are legally responsible for the death (As their instigation of the felony is what caused it).
I believe that is a generally accurate, if a little to simplistic, rendition of the principle. Also Ohio does have a version of the Felony Murder rule, though they are all nuanced differently and applied differently, so whether or not it works as such in this case is something beyond me.

TAMPA — Residents have lobbied for traffic calming in Original Carrollwood since 1981, but the installation of the last dozen speed humps planned for the community will wait at least a few months longer.
Hillsborough County commissioners Wednesday voted to put a $2.3 million traffic calming project on hold in Original Carrollwood and Carrollwood Village. After about two hours of charged discussion, commissioners told their staff to meet with civic groups in both communities to seek common ground on ways to curb speeding, reckless driving and cut-through traffic.
Residents should be ready to compromise.
"The business of traffic calming will never, never, ever satisfy everyone," Commissioner Rose Ferlita said.
Traffic calming has been a hot topic in greater Carrollwood for almost three decades, but Original Carrollwood and Carrollwood Village find themselves in different circumstances as the county nears the end of a project affecting both areas. In Original Carrollwood, where residents voted on a plan years ago, the county still has about a dozen speed humps or tables to install. But last month the head of the Carrollwood Civic Association, which covers Original Carrollwood, asked officials to reconsider the project. Residents had complained about the "excessiveness" of measures already installed, association president Mark Snellgrove wrote.
The county's decision to delay the project irritated some residents, particularly those on or near Orange Grove Drive.
"I do not understand this type of micromanaging government action," said Arthur Hackett, 83, whose side yard fronts Orange Grove Drive.
Now Carrollwood Village wants to vote on the plan as well. All the speed humps are in place there, but many residents want them out, saying the humps, signs and road markings, clutter the neighborhood and slow emergency vehicles.
"Carrollwood, we feel, has been defaced," said Jennifer Fritch, an anti-speed hump activist in Carrollwood Village.
Carrollwood Village had no vote on the traffic calming measures. Later, when a decision was to be made for Original Carrollwood, the county had the new voting method and decided to use it. But on Wednesday, commissioners did not say Carrollwood Village would get to vote on the plan. They said they hope concerns could be addressed through discussions by neighborhood associations.

What is tropical sprue?*
- By Scott Adams
- Published 07/26/1996
- Frequently Asked Questions
- Rating:
Tropical sprue is a disease which causes a food absorption problem, especially with fat. The high risk places for catching tropical sprue are Southeast Asia and South America, and it is not normally found in Africa. The cause is not fully understood, but may be due to a viral infection, and/or from dietary factors. The symptoms are diarrhea (pale large stools), a sore tongue, loss of appetite, and weight loss. In the latter stages of the disease, a patient may develop ostemalacia (softening of the bones), peripheral neutitis, edematous swelling of the extremities, and megaloblasiticAnemia can be corrected by intracenous transfusions if necessary, and iron can be administered if there are any signs of iron-deficiency anemia in addition to megaloblastic anemia. Tropical sprue must be distinguished from gluten sensitivity. It is said that the damage form tropical sprue does not get as severe as that of celiac disease, but it may be very hard to distinguish the two. Arasitic infestations also need to be considered in people who have problems upon returning from underdeveloped areas.

Is Skin Cancer Risk Increased by Vitiligo?
Doctor Answers 2
Melanoma, Yes; Non-Melanoma skin cancers, probably
People with vitiligo lack pigment in their vitiligo patches. This, of course, makes them susceptible to sunburns. Additionally,there does appear to be an increased risk of melanoma in patients with vitiligo. However, the evidence, though there, has not been as strong for non-melanoma skin cancer ( basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas).
Last year at the American Academy of Dermatology meeting, there was a poster from Henry Ford Hospital showing there was an increased incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer in patients with vitiligo. However, this was a rather small study. There have also been a number of case studies through the years purporting this association.
There definitely is an association with both melanomas and non-melanoma skin cancer in vitligo patients who have undergone light and PUVA (psoralen and ultra violet A) therapy. For these reasons it is incumbent for people with this condition to wear sunscreens, avoid the sun between 10-3, and check your skin regularly.
Skin cancer risk and vitiligo
There is an association between vitiligo and the most aggressive form of skin cancer, melanoma. The connection between vitiligo and the other major forms of skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) is somewhat controversial. Individuals with vitiligo and with fair skin in general should exercise extra precautions when it comes to sun protection. Daily application of a moisturizer with a broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater to sun exposed areas is recommended. Use of hats, sunscreen and covering up while outdoors, avoiding sun exposure between 10 AM-3 PM would be a good idea. There are certain tinted make-up/coverup products that contain broad spectrum sunscreens that I like such as Colore Science. Of course self-screening exams using the ABCDE criteria of malignant melanoma still apply to patients with vitiligo.
Good luck.

Ridgewater earns accreditation for offering quality courses in high schools
WILLMAR -- Ridgewater College is one of 13 colleges and universities to recently earn accreditation for the quality of college courses offered in high schools.
The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships grants the accreditation to schools that ensure that course content and expectations for student work matches the standards of the sponsoring post-secondary institution.
Ridgewater is one of 89 schools accredited nationwide through the alliance's peer review process. Ridgewater is a community and technical college with campuses in Willmar and Hutchinson. It serves more 3,300 students in nearly 100 programs.
Schools that earn accreditation conduct a self-study and document how their programs align with the alliance's standards. They are then evaluated by peer reviews from programs which have already been accredited. Other Minnesota schools that have been accredited by the alliance include the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, St Cloud State University, and Riverland Community College of Albert Lea, Austin and Owatonna.
"I am extremely proud of the concurrent enrollment partnership that we have with some of our area high schools," Ridgewater President Doug Allen said in a news release. "Because of this program we are able to offer the kids in our community college level courses while earning college credits at their high schools."
"Ridgewater College has demonstrated to its peers that the college courses it offers in high schools are of the same quality as courses offered on campus," said NACEP Accreditation Committee Chair Becky Carter in the release. "I'm very pleased to recognize Ridgewater College as one of a select group of 89 concurrent enrollment partnerships nationwide."

From Sunlen Miller:
President Obama called on Senate Democrats today to continue to lead, even after the loss last month in the Massachusetts race, and blasted Republicans for being obstructionist and partisan in the past year.
"All that's changed in the last two weeks is that our party's gone from having the largest Senate majority in a generation to the second-largest Senate majority in a generation. And we've got to remember that," the president said at the Newseam in Washington, D.C. today, "We still have to lead."
Obama told his fellow Democrats that for anyone searching for a lesson from Massachusetts, "I promise you the answer is not to do nothing."
"I think the natural political instinct is to tread lightly, keep your head down and to play it safe," Obama said cautioning against that mentality. The president said he had some fun last Friday appearing before House Republicans in Baltimore – but in fiercely partisan rhetoric said that the Republicans have not been as accepting of Democratic ideals as Democrats have from the other side.
"When I start hearing that we should accept Republican ideas, let's be clear: we have. What hasn't happened is the other side accepting our ideas," Obama said, "I also made it clear that we'll call them out when -- when they say they want to work with us, and we extend a hand and get a fist in return."
Pointing a finger at Republicans, the president said that in 2009 Democrats had to lead, even with "enormous procedural obstacles," from the GOP which he said was unprecedented.
"You had to cast more votes to break filibusters last year than in the entire 1950s and '60s combined," Obama said praising his party, "That's 20 years of obstruction packed into just one. But you didn't let it stop you."
The president issued a challenge to his Republican colleagues, "if you want to govern, then you can't just say no. It can't just be about scoring points."
The president said he has "little patience" for political calculations that "say the cost of blocking everything is less than the cost of passing nothing," and mentioned again the failed fiscal commission vote.
The president called on his party to move forward health care and financial regulatory reform.
"We've got to finish the job," he said adding that their mission is far from accomplished – and if they move forward he said he is "confident that the politics of 2010 will take care of themselves."
Question Time Like last week's appearance before the House Republicans, the president took questions today in front of cameras. It should be noted that 7 of the 8 questioners were incumbents in tough reelection races in 2010. Many of the questions – like from Sen. Gillibrand from NY who asked about health care for 9/11 responders– were questions no doubt to play to their local constituents giving them a second look this year.
On health care the president admitted that he – and the Democratic party – has "paid a price" for not being as transparent as promised during the health care negotiations.
"The process looked painful and messy, but the innumerable hearings that were held did give an opportunity for the product to get refined, so that I think that the ultimate package, after potential negotiations between the House and the Senate, is better than when -- where we started," Obama said, "On the other hand -- and I take some fault for this -- at the end of the process, when we were fighting through all these filibusters and trying to get it done quickly, so that we could pivot and start talking about other issues that were so important to the American people, some of that transparency got lost. I think we paid a price for it."
Mr. Obama said they've got to "constantly have our cards out on the table," and "not play an insider's game. Play an outsider's game."
To do this – the president had a little news consumption advice for his colleagues.
"If everybody here turned off your CNN, your Fox, you know, just turn off the TV, MSNBC, blogs - and just go talk to folks out there instead of being in this echo chamber where the topic is constantly politics. The topic is politics. It is much more difficult to get conversation focused on, how are we going to help people than a conversation about how is this going to help or hurt somebody politically. And that's part of what the American people are just sick of. "
The president said he himself if going to get out of that echo chamber.
"That was a mistake that I think I made last year was just not getting out of here enough. And it's helpful when you do."
Asked by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) if he could just establish an Executive Order to push though his proposal using $30 billion TARP funds for a small and community bank fund, the President said that he would prefer to do this legislatively as part of a jobs package.
"I do think it's better to do them through legislation than through executive order. TARP was a congressionally created structure with some fairly stringent guidelines, in terms of how we were supposed to approach it. It shouldn't be hard to do though. It's a pretty simple concept."
Chairman of the Judicial Committee, Pat Leahy vented to the president about the blocking of judicial nominees and political appointees by Republicans.
The president admitted that while Democrats had been guilty of the same thing in the past, they were a little more "selective" than what Republicans are doing now.
"We've got a huge backlog of folks who are unanimously viewed as well qualified, nobody has a specific objection to them, but end up having a hold on them because of some completely unrelated piece of business."
He specifically blasted the hold up of his General Services Administration (GSA) administrator nominee, Martha Johnson.
"Nobody can tell me that there's anything particularly wrong with her. They're blocking her because of some unrelated matter," Obama said, "Don't hold this -- this woman hostage. If you have an objection about my health-care policies, then let's debate the health-care policies. But don't suddenly end up having a GSA administrator who is stuck in limbo somewhere because you don't like something else that we're doing."

Review and video: Eight unmissable music releases this April
PUBLISHED: 14:23 01 April 2014 | UPDATED: 14:23 01 April 2014
Music fanatic Alex Flood looks at the biggest new music releases coming up in April 2014.
• Manchester Orchestra – Cope (Favourite Gentlemen, April 1)
Indie-rock veterans, Manchester Orchestra, mark their ten-year anniversary with the release of their fourth LP, Cope. With their last two efforts having failed to break the top twenty in their native US, the southern upstarts from Atlanta, Georgia are hoping that their alternative brand of anthemic choruses and infectious guitar riffs can finally make the kind of impact they've envisioned.
• Mobb Deep - The Infamous Mobb Deep (Infamous Records, April 1)
This eighth studio effort from American hip hop duo, Mobb Deep, has been in the works since 2011, but was unfortunately delayed due to a feud that broke out between the New York duo. Thankfully, Havoc and Prodigy have since reconciled and are set to release double album, The Infamous Mobb Deep, on Fools' Day. With one disc comprising of entirely new material, and the other of unreleased tracks from the recording sessions for the Queens titans' seminal 1995 record, The Infamous, the extended album will be an excellent chance for loyal fans to hear some new Mobb material for the first time since 2006's Blood Money.
• John Frusciante – Enclosure (Record Collection, April 7)
The enigmatic, former-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist will release his eleventh solo album, Enclosure, this month, and represents "the achievement of all the musical goals I had been aiming at the previous five years," according to the incendiary axe-man. Known as one of the hardest-working and most creative artists in the industry, Frusciante's music has taken a distinct turn towards experimental electronica since 2009's Empyrean, and latest single, "Scratch", six minutes of rhythmic rattlings and bassy beats, shows no sign of any reversion to more traditional, guitar-based music.
• Ratking – So It Goes (XL Records, April 8)
Raucous rebels from the Big Apple, Ratking, have often drawn close comparisons with fellow rap collective, Odd Future, for their more industrial brand of quick-witted, urbanised hip hop for the 21st century; and whilst they're due to support Odd Future man, Earl Sweatshirt, on his upcoming tour of the States, the three-piece hope to come out from under the yolk of their influences this month with their debut record, So It Goes, due on April 8 via the well-respected XL records.
• Eels – The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett (Vagrant Records, April 21)
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Mark Everett's band of rag-tag, bearded folkies from the Sunshine state have been making progressive, alternative-rock for close to twenty years now, and The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett will be their sixteenth studio album. With consistenly better success in Ol' Blighty than in their native country, Eels may be hoping that this latest album will be the one that finally enables them to make their homecoming as heroes across the pond.
• Rodrigo y Gabriela – 9 Dead Alive (Rubyworks Records, April 28)
The legendary Mexican guitar duo of Rodrigo y Gabriela, purveyors of beautifully wistful, Latino balladry, will release their fourth album late this month, revealing the news through a twitter update thast described the forthcoming record thusly: "Each track is a personal celebration of individuals of who have passed on, but through their deeds and words still resonate in the 21st century." Although arguably slightly morbid, 9 Dead Alive is sure to be yet another fantastic episode to the couple's story.
• Damon Albarn – Everyday Robots (Parlophone, April 28)
The incomparable Blur frontman and serial collaborator releases his highly-anticipated debut solo effort under his own name, Everyday Robots, in the last week of April. The already released tracks, "Everyday Robots" and "Lonely Press Play", are indicative of a more melancholic tone than his previous work with the Britpop group, featuring industrial, electronic elements and a vocal timbre not dissimilar to London art-rockers Golden Silvers. Having recently been announced as headlining Suffolk festival, Latitude, 2014 is shaping up to be another big year for the Essex musician.
• Pixies – Indie Cindy (Pixies Music, April 28)
Indie Cindy will be the Boston post-punk, poster boy's fifth record, and their first since 1991's Trompe le Monde, 21 years ago. Having lost critically-acclaimed bassist and lynchpin, Kim Deal in 2013, the band have yet to overcome their doubters since their reunion in 2004. Whatever happens, April 28 is a perfect opportunity to reimagine some of the nineties most exciting and influential music output.

Greece crisis deepens with new elections after coalition talks collapse
Nine days after an inconclusive vote was recorded in the initial election politicians still have not succeeded in creating a new government.
This could push Greece into further political crisis, as it nears bankruptcy and potential exit from the euro.
President Karolos Papoulias claimed that after a third day of failed talks and a lack of compromise between the different parties a new vote must now be held.
A date has yet to be set for this election, however rules suggest that it could fall in mid-June, meaning a caretaker government will need to be formed this week.
Following the meeting, socialist party leader Evangelos Venizelos told reporters: 'Let's move towards something better and not something worse.
'Our motherland can find its way, we will fight for it to find its way.'
Polls show that the leftist Syriza party could be on course to win the vote, securing 50 more seats in the 300-seat parliament.
The party rejects the bailout and was placed second in last week's vote.
Greece's parliamentary split remains between supporters and opponents of a €130 billion (£103.7bn) bailout package, which would impose deep wage, pension and spending cuts.
However, should Greece reject the bailout this would likely mean bankruptcy and a near certain exit from the European single currency.

Tammye Nash | Managing Editor
Fort Worth Independent School District Superintendent Kent Scribner this week announced that he has signed a set of detailed guidelines designed to protect transgender students by clarifying the district's existing anti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies.
Clint Bond, FWISD's external and emergency communications director, said Scribner made the announcement at the Tuesday night, April 26 meeting of the district's Board of Trustees. "He just wanted the board to know that he had signed these comprehensive guidelines," Bond said.
In 2011, the district, then under the leadership of interim Superintendent Walter Dansby, the FWISD school board expanded the district's anti-harassment and anti-bullying policies to include protections based on gender identity and gender expression. Protections based on sexual orientation were already included.
Bond said the new guidelines were designed to give "more specificity" to existing policy.
Sharon Herrera, founder and president of LGBTQ S.A.V.E.S, on Wednesday, April 27, praised Scribner for issuing the guidelines, saying the superintendent "is indeed walking his talk. He genuinely means all students, preparing them for college, career and community leadership."
She added, "I applaud FWISD and anticipate that along with these guidelines, there will be training."
LGBTQ S.A.V.E.S is an organization created to "foster the well-being of LGBTQ students and staff in the public schools of Fort Worth and surrounding communities by promoting safe, egalitarian and supportive environments and policies, Herrera explained. She said the organization works to provide LGBTQ students and their families with resources related to LGBTQ issues and safe spaces for social and personal development.
Herrera noted that her organization continues to hear reports from local districts of bullying, not only from students but also adults, including teachers and administrators. "Until our LGBTQ youth can feel safe on their school campuses, our work is not done," she said.
Fairness Fort Worth President David Mack Henderson said Wednesday that he and his organization "applaud Dr. Scribner and his staff for working to insure our most vulnerable students have both equal protection and opportunity."
Henderson continued, "My read is that FWISD is making their proactive, inclusive position clear. They not only intend to comply with federal Title IX guidelines, they've elucidated best practices to accomplish just that. The beauty of these guidelines is that one group of students isn't being compromised to help another. They've actually found a means to assure privacy for every student, regardless of their views, while still providing equal access.
"These guidelines serve as an excellent template for other schools seeking a reasonable solution to this issue," Henderson continued. "My hope is that other school districts quickly implement similar guidelines so we can all get on with the business of educating our kids."
FWISD's expanded policy notes that the district "prohibits discrimination, including harassment, against any student on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law. The district prohibits dating violence, as defined by this policy. Retaliation against anyone involved in the complaint process is a violation of district policy and is prohibited.
The guidelines — which, Henderson pointed out, can be put into force with just the superintendent's signature whereas a policy change requires a vote by the board of trustees — reiterates a number of points related to the nondiscrimination policy while elaborating on protections for transgender students.
The guidelines "seek to ensure that no student experiences an unsafe or unwelcome learning environment," while acknowledging "Transgender youth may experience additional challenges at school" and that "support from classmates and school personnel may help transgender students who otherwise feel ostracized or disengaged."
The eight-page guideline package presented to the board pointed to "growing support for research indicating that enforcing fixed notions of what it means to be a boy or a girl may have negative effects on children," especially in a learning environment. The school district is implementing the guidelines, the statement noted, "to provide direction for personnel to address issues that may arise concerning the needs of and challenges facing transgender students, and to foster an inclusive and productive learning environment for all students."
The guidelines include an extensive list of terms and definitions regarding transgender people and issues, but also points out that "not all people will fit a particular definition or pattern. Instead of focusing on what definition applies to a particular person, school personnel are required to show respect for the student's desires and wishes to the extent practical so as to foster a productive educational process for all."
The guidelines also lay out specific reporting procedures in the event of complaints, and names a specific person — Employee Relations Director Rufino Mendoza — as the Title IX coordinator for the district and the person to whom complaints should be reported.
The guidelines require faculty and staff to "acknowledge the gender identity that each student consistently and uniformly asserts," without need of a medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment. Campus counselors are designated as the allies for students who need or want to discuss gender identity issues.
The guidelines also require district personnel to use a student's preferred name and pronouns unless otherwise required by law for record keeping purposes. "Continued intentional misuse of a student's new name and pronouns coupled with reference to the student's former gender," the guidelines state, "undermines the student's desires and is contrary to the district's goal of treating students with dignity and respect."
The guidelines stress that a student's name and gender on official records can be changed only with a legal court order. But no such order is necessary for personnel to use the student's preferred name and pronouns and gender identity.
If you don't know how the student prefers to be identified, ask them in private, the guidelines direct. And students have the right to keep their actual or perceived gender identity and expression private, including from their parents or guardians. Only share such information if the student gives his or her permission, and that goes for sharing the information with parents or guardians, too, the guidelines say.
"Transitioning is a very private matter," the guidelines warn. "Students may choose whether or not to have their parents participate in this process. In fact, notifying a parent or guardian carries risks for the students in some cases," so school personnel need to talk to the student about what to tell the parents.
Regarding restroom facilities, the guidelines say, "If other students feel uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a transgender student or if a student has a need or desire for increased privacy, the school must allow the student(s) access to a single stall restroom, gender neutral restroom or the opportunity to visit the facility when other students are not present. A single user restroom, however, must not be given as the only option for transgender students who need or desire increased privacy."
The schools are required to make similar accommodations for locker rooms, and the guidelines prohibit school personnel from using dress codes to prevent a transgender student from living full time "in the role consistent with his or her gender identity."
The new guidelines also require schools to give all students, including transgender students "equitable access to [all] activities and programs," including cheerleading, homecoming, prom and sports. But the guidelines acknowledge that "UIL may have ultimate authority to determine the team on which a student can participate in league play."
That, Henderson said, remains a problem because of rules recently adopted by the University Interscholastic League, which governs intermural sports in Texas public schools, which requires students' gender be determined for the purpose of such sports teams based on their physical gender at birth.
"The new UIL rules still leaves districts in the untenable position of either complying with Title IX for federal funding or with the sports authority to qualify for team play," Henderson said. "The UIL rule is clearly in violation of federal law. The question remaining is will UIL and UT, their host organization, force Texas schools and trans students to pay the price for UIL's illegal rule?"
He concluded, "When we permit loud voices to err on the side of fear, the result is hysteria. I say we don't let them play that game with us anymore. We're done reacting to every nonsensical cry of social Armageddon.
"These are our lives, our families and our children, too," Henderson declared, "and we get to set the tone and the narrative from now on, period."

Several green building experts say the design of a building itself can contribute to boosting employees' moods, increasing productivity and aiding in employee retention.
"Green building is good business,''Rick Fedrizzi, founding chairman and CEO of the U.S. Green Building Council told a recent Las Vegas conference sponsored by United Technologies Corp.'s Climate, Controls & Security division, which includes Carrier in Farmington.
"Green building certifications attract tenants, employees, even students and help to keep them... People want to work in green buildings, and comfortable, happy workers are more productive workers," Fedrizzi said.
In addition to creating happy workers, green buildings result in life-cycle savings of 20 percent of the construction costs, Fedrizzi said. He and others say there is a direct correlation between increased productivity and employees who love being in their work space.
"People feel good when they feel connected to nature," said architect Robert F. Fox Jr., a leader in the green building movement and an advisor to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Hark! The Herald Angels Swing!arr. Paul Clark - C L Barnhouse Company
Bring your trumpets out front and let them herald in the holiday season! This super chart begins with a fanfare that leads into a fun, swinging version of this familiar carol. It's easy to work up, and it's playable with optional limited instrumentations so it will sound fine with as few as 2 trumpets, 3 saxes, 2 trombones and 3 rhythm. After playing through the tune, the trombones, bass and bari sax get a fun riff going. Then the saxes and trumpets "trade twos" over it. This leads up to an effective and exciting key change with the trumpets leading the way to the end. This exceptional take on a holiday classic has no solos. While this chart is a trumpet section feature, they are never asked to play for too long without a break, and with the exception of two Gs, their range stays in the staff. Highly effective holiday programming!

LAKE HILLS (CNS) – Bomb squad technicians defused a live explosive device found at a Lake Hills home, police said today.
Sheriff's deputies were dispatched Wednesday afternoon to the 16200 block of Bright Morning Court in response to the discovery of two wires protruding from a rock. Bomb squad members determined the wires were connected to a live demolition charge that was apparently left behind when the home was built 20 years ago, Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Robert Epps said.
Deputies took undisclosed "protective measures" to protect the home where the wires were found as well as neighboring homes from any potential damage during the effort to defuse the charge. Epps did not specify whether anyone in the neighborhood had to be evacuated as bomb squad members deactivated the charge by Friday night.

Just Add Water's remakes of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee are coming to PSVita.
In Stranger's Wrath the player takes on the role of 'The Stranger', a tough-as-nails bounty hunter who is part animal, part Clint Eastwood, who must somehow scrape together 20,000 'moolah' for a mysterious operation.
The game's set for release late summer/autumn on PS3 with a Vita version to follow.
In Munch's Oddysee, players guide Mudokon champion Abe, and his aquatic Gabbit partner Munch, using special psychic powers, power-ups, and other special abilities to deliver payback as they reclaim the last Gabbit eggs on Oddworld, which have been packaged in a can of Gabbiar.
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee features new and improved visuals with "lush rivers, towering mountains and hundreds of trees that bloom or die".
The game's out this autumn on PS3 with Vita getting the game later.

"Summits have to be climbed, because they are there!"
(George Wallner - Low band DXer - AA7JV)
There is something about me
When Woodstock festival had been realized (Summer of '69), I just was born. Although I prefer Rock and Roll music, exist as a Rockin' DJ and sound technician, I chose AMATEUR RADIO work to my main hobby.
In my childhood I shared my freetime between waterpolo trainings and equipment buildings.
Now I work in a telecommunication firm, as a technical engineer. We install and repair the big telephone-switching systems all around the country. I like this job, but my real interest area is the wireless communication.
In the last 30 years I wrote by the dozen technical articles for the greatest hungarian amateur magazine - RADIOTECHNIKA.
I accept the trend, that more and more people buy the professional devices, but I try to make the most part of my station by myself. Fortunately I have opportunity to construct different kind of equipments (e.g. transceivers, power amplifiers, antennas).
In the recent past I designed and created a 2 elements 80m Yagi antenna. It was one of my wildest dreams, that came true at the spring of 2011. This Yagi covers the whole 80m band in 6 different switchable segments. Later I added to two full sized 40m elements, so I got an other Yagi. The elements are reversible and optimized to CW and SSB segments on both Yagis of course. I feel the benefit of these technical solutions during the DXing. My main radio is an IC-765 transceiver and the next antennas:
- Vertically polarized Delta loop and various RX antennas on 160m
-2 el. Yagi on 80m
-2 el. Yagi on 40m
-2 el. Cubical Quad on 20/15/10m
August 2014, new project! There are 2 more full size elements on 40m band, interlaced them between the 80m elements.
The elements are electrically reversible, so the 180 degrees "turn" is very easy. Even, the elements are optimized to the CW and SSB parts on both bands -with insertable additional coils- remotely controlled them from the shack.
There are some frozen antennas in winter of 2012 (archive photo)
This is the QTH inside
This modest schematic shows my 40m 2el Yagi system.
I apply radiator + director configuration, it has a slightly better radiation, than the classic radiator + reflector setup. The open-end coaxial cable exists as a capacitor, makes the element shorten, so it obtains the optimal director length
Summer of 2015. The newest project: Build and test a Waller-Flag antenna. It's a 2 elements, phase fed, rotatable, low-band receiving antenna with low noise and high RDF.
Summer of 2016. There was a good atmosphere personal meeting with DX-er guys at my QTH.
2m fever in summer of 2016. The 2 x 16 el. long Yagi (made by I0JXX) on the rotatable mast.
Very simple, but effective 2m station. I can easily reach the wheel and rotate the 2m Yagi into any directions within seconds!
The corner of 160m delta loop (vertical polarized, for transmitting only)
The feedpoint of my NA Beverage
I like short wave operation, not especially the contesting, but the DXing on the low bands. The lower, the better. :)
99% of my QSO's made for CQ-DX. Good to hear the booming signals from the other part of globe, but I also prefer the mystic, light signals as well.
If you would like to test your antenna systems (or my ear :) ), just feel free to reduce the PWR and give a QRP call. It's a good fun!
Anyway, me and some friends of mine usually build different kind of antennas at my QTH, where I have to do a lot of gardening work too (mainly in summer).
You can find more pictures at my personal website: http://www.ha8rm.fw.hu (Click here)
So, that's all about myself, I hope we'll meet at amateur bands.
73! Peter

Quoting Adriana'sMombie:" im not too fond of getting married in the jacket either. id wear it at the reception, though. hopefully ... [snip!] ... already did it once and got awesome results. ill just keep doing her DVDs, she's the only one who has helped with my pooch lol."

The jacket is my favorite part lol.
The dress is beautiful and very elegant but I'm not a fan of the jacket.
I'm not going to comment on the dress itself, because it's just not my taste, but if you want something different, go for it, it's your day!
Word of warning against certain dresses on Ebay though .. so many of my friends have bought clothes that have simply not lived up to the expectation or the pictures posted. So please be careful not to get scammed!
Is it just me or does the fabric of this dress look poorly photoshopped? I would be worried about the quality of the fabric. How are the sellers reviews?

I just wanted to say thank you for the service your driver provided us on our recent visit to Dublin I arrived with my elderly parents on Monday and returned home yesterday and your driver Arthur who took us on both trips from and to the airport was excellent. He was very helpful reliable and had a lovely sense of humour he made our half hour journey very entertaining while giving us some local knowledge of the areas and sights in and around Dublin Great job will recommend you to our family and friends who regularly visit Dublin on both business and pleasure Kind regards J Rymer
Hi, I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank you for the brilliant service we received on both of our journeys. Thomas (Doyle), was very friendly, and gave us lots of tips on where to go etc. My partner and I were really pleased we booked the taxi service (albeit only a few hours before!), and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thanks again, Green
We used Dublin Taxi Transfers on Friday 27th February and Monday 2nd March and they were absolutely first class. Robbie our driver was waiting on our arrival and welcomed us to Dublin and picked us up on our return. Quality service, great people, excellent vehicles and a great price. Definitely give them a go ! Kind regards Greg Birt
Just wanted to drop a quick line to say how delighted we were with your service. Tom our driver was awesome his craic was brilliant and he couldn't have done more to help us. Got to be the best service in Dublin and no question we will absolutely use your company on our next trip AND will tell everyone we know to do the same. A City is only as good as it's people and it's services and you and Tom nailed it big style
Excellent service & great price. Folk complain when things aren't good but never say thanks when things are good, so cheers, we will use you again when over in future

Inside the retail package, we find a user manual, mini driver / software disc, eSATA cable, power cable, USB cable, a clear plastic stand and the enclosure itself.
As mentioned earlier, both enclosures are identical other than color. The front of the enclosure has a black glossy finish with the Kingwin logo displayed near the top. The actual colored part of the enclosures appears to be plastic, but the rest of the unit is indeed aluminum. Around back, we find a power switch, USB 2.0 port, eSATA port, One Touch Back Up button and a power port.
Two small Philips-head screws are used to hold the sliding tray in place. Once removed, the tray easily slides out, allowing you to mount a drive in it. The tray itself appears to be constructed of steel. The PCB has the necessary SATA data and power connectors ready for use. Also notice, there are two small pins just to the left of the red SATA cable. An LED that runs from the front of the enclosure plugs in here and illuminates the Kingwin logo on the front of the enclosure.
Screws are included to mount your hard drive on the sliding tray, but not in the accessory box where you would think. I originally thought they were not included, but later found them inside the enclosure.
To install, simply connect the SATA data and power cables, then mount the drive to the tray. Don't forget to plug in the LED pins before you screw the tray back onto the enclosure.
That pretty much covers the enclosure and installation. Let's move ahead to testing and wrap things up with a conclusion...

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am up to date with shots.
Jeri Lynn is a female pointer mix with an approximate birth date of 10/20/12.
Jeri Lynn came to Last Chance Rescue from the north end of Flint from a backyard breeder. The man wouldn't provide any information on where her mom or the rest of the litter was but he was willing to sell her to anyone who had cash. Her foster parents purchased her to spare her from ending up in the wrong hands and so that she could properly develop and be socialized with other puppies and people.
Jeri Lynn has really blossomed in her foster home. When she arrived, you could see her ribs and now she is a nice healthy ten-week-old pup. She loves, loves, LOVES people and never stops enthusiastically wagging her tail. She is small and probably won't grow to be very big, but her spunk, fearlessness, and personality make her feel ten times her size.
Jeri Lynn will be at the Brighton PetSmart adoption event this Saturday from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. For more information about Jeri Lynn or to apply to adopt, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Jeri Lynn, a Howell Pointer puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pointer for sale in Howell, or seeking a Pointer puppy from a breeder in Howell.

Why can't I select the size that I want?

We will send you another e-mail to notify you when your order has been shipped and we've charged your credit card.
How do I know that my order has been shipped?
When your order has been shipped, we will send you another e-mail with your tracking number and a link to where you can track it online.
What's the status of my order? How do I track my order?
Once you have placed an order, you can check on its status at any time. To track your order, navigate to "My Account" and click "Track/Edit your Order. If an item needs to be decorated (Personalized or Player product), where it is in the manufacturing process is unable to be reflected here.
Once an order has shipped, you will receive a shipment confirmation email that will contain your tracking information for the package(s).
Why did you call or e-mail me to verify my order?
For your own security and protection, if in the normal course of fraud control we find something suspicious regarding your order, we will call or e-mail you to verify your information.
Are purchases on this website really tax free?
VF Corporation has locations in states across the country, and we collect the required sales tax based the jurisdictions we are required to at the rates that are established for that area.
Is ordering over the internet secure?
Yes. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption is used for every transaction in order to ensure that your order is secure. SSL encrypts the transmissions from our ecommerce servers as well as your computer. SSL encryption works by forming a matched pair with the transmission from your computer transmission and our server, so that only data to and from these sources can be valid.
How do I change or cancel an order?
To cancel an order you recently completed, you will need to contact customer service as soon as possible. We will make every effort to accommodate your request. We cannot cancel or change an order once it has entered the shipping process. Due to the made to order nature of most Player and Personalized Jerseys/T-shirts, we are unable to cancel an order once the production process has begun on these items.
When will my order be shipped? When will it arrive?
For most items we readily have in stock, orders will take 1-2 business processing days before it will ship. For items that require extra handling time, such as custom t-shirts, orders will take approximately 5-7 business processing days. Lastly, we require 7-10 business processing days for custom jersey purchases so we can custom make it for you. Shipping time varies on chosen ship method but is to be added to time of order processing. Please use order processing days combined with shipping estimation at time of checkout to determine when your order will arrive.
Do you ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses?
We ship to FPO and APO addresses via the US Postal Service.
Do you ship outside the US?
At this time, we only ship within the United States and Canada. Also, some products may not able to be sold outside of the United States and these will be limited during the check out process.
Can I ship to multiple locations?
If you wish to place an order and have items ship to different shipping locations, the items going to each location will have to be on their own unique order. We are unable to ship multiple items on the same order to more than one address.

If an order is placed with us and then refused, you will be responsible for the original shipping costs, as well as any tax charges that were incurred in shipping the package. These amounts will be subtracted from your merchandise refund. We've made every effort to minimize our shipping charges and only charge our cost for these services.

After Strong Run, Team Penske Endures Tough Finish at Chicagoland Speedway
JOLIET, Ill. (August 28, 2010) -- Team Penske's strong effort turned into a disappointing finish Saturday night in the Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil Indy 300 at Chicagoland Speedway. All three Team Penske cars started up front and both IZOD IndyCar Series championship leader Will Power and polesitter Ryan Briscoe battled for the race lead, but in the end the team was unable to secure a top result. Helio Castroneves led the way for Team Penske as he finished sixth, while Briscoe came home in 11th place and Power wound up 16th in the final running order.
Power was battling for the lead late in the race and looked ready to seize his first oval victory when, after what was set up to be the final pit stop of the night, the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Dallara/Honda had to return to pit lane to be refueled with five laps remaining. The stop sent him from second place to a 16th-place finish as 36 points were sliced from his Power's cushion in the series championship standings with three races remaining.
"That was a really intense race and man, I had a lot of fun out there in the Verizon car," said Power of the thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing for 200 laps at Chicagoland. "Unfortunately, we had a problem with our fuel late in the race and we had to come back in and lost positions. That was just a mistake that we couldn't afford. This obviously makes things tougher for the championship, but we're still in front and we proved how competitive we can be on the ovals. We'll move on and we will work harder next week at Kentucky."
Power now owns a 23-point advantage in the standings over Dario Franchitti, Saturday night's winner. The three remaining races in the 2010 season include next weekend at Kentucky Speedway, September 18 at Japan's Twin Ring Motegi and the October 2 season finale in Miami.
Starting from fourth place, Castroneves battled with the leaders early on in the race. But a fueling problem on the team's first stop saw the three-time Indianapolis 500 winner fall back in the field. Castroneves continued to work his way back into contention and he took the checkered flag in sixth place driving the No. 3 Team Penske Dallara/Honda. With the result, Castroneves remains in fifth in the standings, 130 points behind Power.
"The Team Penske car was good early in the race," said Castroneves. "I was able to run strong toward the front of the field. During our first stop we had an issue fueling and that put us back in the pack. My car was not as good in traffic as it was toward the front of the field and honestly it was a little unnerving back there. The cars at the back were moving around quite a bit and it was difficult to find racing room. We will be back at it again next week at Kentucky and hopefully we'll have a better result there."
Briscoe, who captured his third pole of the season on Friday and hoped to secure his second straight victory at Chicagoland Speedway, led much of the first half of the race as the No. 6 Team Penske car looked dominant at times. He fell back in traffic in the later stages of the event and he was unable to make up enough ground to finish inside the top-10. Briscoe posted an 11th-place finish and he remains fourth in the championship, 122 points off the leader's pace.
"That was a wild night," said Briscoe, who led a race-high 113 laps. "The Team Penske car was great running out front, and I was able to run fast on my own. After that last stop, we lost a little track position. I tried everything that I could, but my car was just not as good in traffic."
Despite the disappointing finish, Power was pleased with his ability to run among the leaders on a 1.5-mile oval -- he led three times on the night for 17 laps. "I never thought I could race ovals like that," said Power. "I was looking good there until that last stop. As long as I was leading, they couldn't get past me."
Looking to get back on the winning track, Team Penske enters next weekend's Kentucky 300 as the defending champion. Briscoe won last season after a dramatic battle with Ed Carpenter over the closing laps of the race. Qualifying and practice will take place at Kentucky Speedway on Friday, September 3 with the race coverage set to begin at 8 p.m. ET next Saturday night, September 4, on Versus.

Thanks Max. Appreciate what Scott is saying. I think the 4H are correct with Sorceress' wing colour, it looks much better IMO with the blue tips. I could go either way on the spell casting hand.
And I think Evil Lyn looks awesome. In fact, I'm loving everything MOTU/POP we saw at SDCC.

I finally break down and buy a bag of those little wheels Mexican street vendors sell. I always assumed they were some sort of pork rind, but now I'm not sure.
Here's a link with a picture:
In my broken Spanish I ask the name of these snacks.
She says "chicharrones".
Just as I suspected, fried pork rinds.
Then she says "or duritos"
So I look it up.
So what are these things? I guess the way to eat these is like potato chips ... put some hot sauce in the bag with the wheels, sprinkle with lemon juice, shake bag & eat. I just bought the bag au natural since I wasn't going to consume them immeditatly, just try one and give Roberto the rest.
I have to say, they are mighty tasty .. light and crisp and not porky.
So, are these pork? What does the website link mean when it says
"Duritos Wheels Wheat Snacks for frying. Flour pellets to make flour chicharrones.
A pasta pellet product called "duritos", made from wheat flour. Before cooking, they are hard, orange in color, and look like little pinwheels."

Gary Johnson on Immigration
Governor Johnson believes in open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. He has stated that the border should be dealt with on a free market basis to make it as easy as possible to come to the US and start working. This is based on the libertarian viewpoint that each person has the right to seek out employment and that markets will function best to establish workforces and people will react to those markets.
2012 Election Plan
Governor Johnson has proposed an immigration plan that proposes establishing better border security, establishing a better working relationship with Mexico, setting up a better guest worker program, and making it easier to make illegal aliens legal.
- Establish real and cost-effective border securityrn
- Continue to encourage and allow legal immigration.
- Support current border deterrents and security measures.
- Create a temporary guest worker program that makes sensern
- Expand and streamline a market based temporary guest worker program.
- Enact an application and tracking procedure for guest workers, such as an e-verify system. Procedures must be quick, simple and efficient in providing documentation information, and must meet the needs of both employers and willing workers.
- Require guest workers to not only pay income taxes, but also provide proof of adequate health care coverage through insurance, secured savings programs, bonds, or a combination thereof.
- Allow spouses and dependents to enter the U.S. with guest workers, but only with proof of adequate health coverage and subject to the same background checks and health requirements.
- Impose meaningful enforcement of immigration lawsrn
- Establish procedures and devote adequate resources that are sufficient to actually identify illegal immigrants and deport them. Implement a "one strike, you're out" policy toward illegal immigrants with regard to future eligibility for guest worker programs.
- Impose and enforce sanctions and fines for noncompliance with immigration laws by employers that are sufficiently costly, ensuring that the risks simply are not worth the rewards.
- Enact a reality-based process for current illegal workers to earn legal statusrn
- Allow a two-year grace period during which illegal immigrants already in the U.S. can come forward, pay any taxes owed, provide proof of consistent employment, pass a criminal background check, and apply for guest worker status.
- Reduce border crimern
- Address the root cause of most border crime by legalizing marijuana, thereby removing 70% of the current cross-border illegal drug trade and replacing cartel and prohibition-related violence with legal, regulated and nonviolent commerce.
- Achieve a better working relationship with Mexicorn
- Stimulate cross-border investment through a robust, above-board and legal guest worker program.
- Strengthen the Mexican government by dramatically weakening the cartels through the legalization of marijuana.
- Aggressively negotiate mutually beneficial agreements with Mexico regarding such issues as funds transfers, taxation of income earned in the U.S. by guest workers, and deportation and incarceration of Mexican nationals arrested in the United States.
2010 Governor's Race Comments
In June of 2010, Governor Johnson was interviewed when discussing the 2010 New Mexico Governor's race. He stated that the border should be dealt with on a free market basis and that it should be as easy as possible for someone to come to the US and begin working.
Our America Initiative
Governor Johnson started the America Initiative in early 2011. On that website, he notes he views on immigration and states that the best way to solve illegal immigration is to make it as easy as possible to become US citizens so that they can become taxpayers.
NRO Interview
In January of 2011 Governor Johnson was interviewed by NRO and responded to immigration questions by stating that we needed better documentation for those who are here illegally and we need to make it easier for those who come here legally. He mocks the idea that illegal immigration is causing problems in the US, and states that amnesty does not mean citizenship.
South Carolina Debate
In May of 2011, Governor Johnson participated in the Republican primary debate in South Carolina. He discusses his plan to grant amnesty and give a work visa. He states that there would be a grace period for those here to participate in a grace period to get a work visa.
