Bluehost & Hostgator are always tough competition for each other, and every blogger (webmaster) confuses between which hosting service is best for him/her. Today I am going to share my personal experience with these hosting services and comparing Bluehost vs. Hostgator. After reading this article, you will be able to decide which one is best suits your requirements or priorities and which one is best for you.
In Bhostbuyers, I previously shared many tutorials for Bluehost users and my personal experience with Bluehost. If you are a regular reader of Bhostbuyer then you very well know that I have used both Hostgator and Bluehost hosting services. So, In this article, I am going to share my review on Bluehost Shared Hosting Vs Hostgator Shared Hosting. I choose shared hosting as a base of comparison because it is one of the most used hosting packages by the webmasters. One of the reasons for it, because it is affordable and fits in everybody's budget.
Before getting started, let me tell you one thing that, both the companies are part of EIG group. The "Endurance International Group" is a primary web hosting company who owns more than 65+ web hosting companies. So, from this fact, we can say that both Bluehost and Hostgator are children of the same parents EIG formally BizLand.
Bluehost Vs Hostgator Comparison
One thing I noticed about these two companies are they have very close in the competition and have many similar features and services offered. In 2016, it is going to be a tough competition between them. But we are going to compare them one by one. Overall, I think Bluehost always has an edge over Hostgator because of its years of experience and technical support, which is the biggest plus point of Bluehost.
Hosting packages and pricing
Both Bluehost and Hostgator has almost same plans and features. Both have three hosting plans in shared hosting service; Bluehost shared hosting has basic, plus and pro plan, whereas Hostgator has hatchling, baby and business plan. The main difference in these plans is that Hostgator is giving unlimited space for their all shared hosting plan, whereas Bluehost has limited web disk space in the basic and plus plan.
From the above table, you can easily compare features offered by these companies. Which looks more in favor of Hostgator but I suggest don't flow with these big unlimited tags with features. Because sometimes you never need such unlimited amount of space and unlimited email account. Most of us only want a maximum of 3 to 5 email accounts for our website. So, don't flow with the numbers be smart and prefer what you need more.
Must Read: Best Bluehost Web Hosting Plan for Your website
Technical support
This is one area where one side beats other completely. Bluehost hosting has far better support than what Hostgator offers. Minimum wait time in Hostgator "live chat" system is 30 minutes from the past few months, Whereas Bluehost has still 10 to 15 min wait time which is less than Hostgator. But frankly, from my experience, it's not all about wait time Bluehost technical team is more supportive than Hostgator. So, here is the only one winner, which is Bluehost. You can also take our special Bluehost discount deals which are only for our readers.
User Interface
I don't think this is the major factor to compare but still have importance especially for newbies. Both of them offered standard Cpanel, which is convenient to use. Bluehost has customized it, whereas in Hostgator has the standard version of it and you can customize it with different colors and themes. Below is the both Cpanel's image which gives you a brief idea of their looks and tools position.
Website Performance and Uptime:
Our many sites hosted on Bluehost servers and some on Hostgator. So, we are regularly testing our website speed and keep an eye on uptime report of the websites. We have still not faced any major downtime from any of the hostings. So, we can say that both are up to their mark and delivers what they said. Both the web hosts have 99.99% uptime.
When we talk about the performance of web hosts, most of us focus on performance with WordPress because most of the webmasters and blogger uses WordPress as a content management system. As stated, we also test these shared hosting service performance with WordPress and both of them worked well with WordPress. But I found some issues with Hostgator which is sometimes slow when I logged in to WordPress account. Overall, it were working well for me too and had no issue with performance and speed. Both have almost same average respond time of 320ms which far better than other web hosts available in the market.
Without making this Hostgator vs. Bluehost comparison too long, we come to the conclusion of the this shared hosting comparison. From these testing results and our experience with these web hosting companies, we can say that both are best web hosting service provider in the world at affordable costs. But, because we have to choose one among them, personally I prefer Bluehost over Hostgator despite this fact that Hostgator is a biggest hosting provider company in the past.
Concerning rating if I would like to give to these two big web-hosting companies. I would give the below rating while considering all the factors.
Hostgator: 4.2/5.0
Bluehost: 4.5/5.0
Hope, this comparison helps you in choosing the best web shared hosting company for your website. If you still have any question relate to these hosting services and comparison, you can mention it below in the comment zone we will try to resolve it. Don't forget to share this with your friends on Facebook and Google plus. If you are already a user of any of the above company, share your experience with us.

**ATTENTION** NY/NJ animal activist,
Jump in with FAUN as, once again,
right before the "holy" day celebrated as Easter in the West, we use our energies/resources to
elevate public consciousness about our animal friends, demonstrating compassion and empathy for the
billions of sentient animals (mostly chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigeons, turkeys, pigs, even
sheep and goats) who are so cruelly confined, tortured and horrifically killed in the "live
markets" which are so pervasive in the urban centers of northern New Jersey and across the United
States. The slaughter tends to be even more heinous around "holy days" as was affirmed for us last
Christmas when we witnessed the slaughter of not only chickens, geese, turkeys and rabbits, but
also the "holy days only" sheep, goats and pigs. Ironically contrasted with the traditional message
of "Peace On Earth" was a slaughter the scale, sickness and variety of which would be impossible to
witness any ordinary time of year. It's truly horrific, and we need to be in front of Marzigliano's
as another "holy day" bloodbath creeps up on us. These animals need a voice, and that voice is us.
Please join us on Saturday, April 23rd from 3 to 7pm.
Among all the animal species that humans exploit and kill for profit and for the satisfaction of
gustatory preferences, it is common knowledge that chickens are the most widely and systematically
confined, tortured and killed. Though it's hard to conceptualize in the modern, mass-production scheme
of the industrialized world, chickens were once wild, arboreal birds whose natural habitat was limited
to the tropical jungles of southeast Asia.
Sadly, for nothing more than the widely-savored taste of chickens' flesh and eggs, the
"poultry" and egg industries have exploded exponentially worldwide, and hideously transformed
these gentle, beautiful birds into a big agribusiness enterprise, wherein they are
reduced to nothing more than "meat machines" and "egg factories" who live and die exclusively
for human convenience and pleasure. Each year in this country, the more than 9 billion chickens
grown (not raised) for meat, a.k.a. "broilers," endure the most horribly unnatural conditions
one could imagine in filthy, overcrowded confinement sheds, where they are denied all natural
light and every other element essential to their fundamental health and well-being. These
creatures are genetically manipulated to maximize muscle-tissue (meat) growth, so that their
legs are often incapable of supporting their unnaturally increasing bodyweight, resulting in
lameness, arthritis and other diseases.
"Broiler" chickens are subjected to an additional array of unthinkable horrors before, a mere 45
days after birth, they are brutally killed and cut to pieces for cold hard profit, and to satisfy
the voracious appetites of our species, though an infinite number of healthier, more economical and
more ethical alternatives to animal proteins are accessible to all of us in the United States
Egg laying hens, a.k.a "layers," have their beaks violently removed by a hot blade with no
anesthesia so they don't peck each other to death from the maddening, hellish, filthy,
unnatural, obscenely crowded and disease-ridden wire cages they are forced to endure as they
produce eggs until they are literally spent from exhaustion, calcium depletion,
osteoporosis & other diseases. After one or two years of being continuously exploited as
nothing more than "egg factories," "spent" hens are simply destroyed, or sold to be subjected to further abuses and eventually slaughtered.
For more information on the commercial poultry and egg industries' treatment of both "broiler"
and "layer" chickens, please check out this most solid treatment of the topic written by Karen
Davis, PhD, of United Poultry Concerns:
What goes in inside "live animal" markets is equally absurd and abominable:
Please join up with FAUN as, on World Farm Animals' Day, we again turn our attention to the plight
of helpless chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigeons, turkeys, sheep and goats, who are cruelly and
systematically confined, tortured, killed and sold at "live meat/poultry" markets so pervasive in
the northern part of New Jersey and New York City. In these hellish places, where the odors of
death, fear and intense confinement are perpetually acrid and inescapable, live birds are stuffed
together in cages so tightly that they can't even move. Such cages are stacked from floor to
ceiling in these filthy dungeons, so that customers can walk in, select the animal(s) of their
choice and even decide how the animal(s) will be killed and butchered, according to their
individual preferences.
The helpless, selected animal-victim is removed from the public area into a godforsaken "back
room," where he/she is dispassionately killed in a bloody, grotesque, medieval manner (most
commonly by severing the jugular vein or decapitation). The broken/mutilated creature is then
brought back to the customers post-mortem, defeathered and sliced up in accordance with the
customers' fickle palates. Could it get any more disgusting?
In an effort to elevate public awareness about this sickening cruelty and discourage conscientious
consumers from supporting it, FAUN will be staging another demonstration at Marzigliano's
Live Market in West New York, New Jersey. We will be handing out relevant literature and sharing
information with passersby, as well as holding relevant signs to visually exhibit the shocking,
terrible realities behind this insidious, mostly hidden and shockingly pervasive form of animal
Saturday, April 23rd 2011
(FAUN Pre-Easter "Holy Day" massacre demo).
From 3pm through 7pm.
Marzigliano's Live Market , 5217 Bergenline Avenue, West New York, NJ, 07093-5512.
*There is metered parking all along Bergenline Avenue, and a municipal parking lot within 3 minutes
walking distance. For those driving in and unfamiliar with the area, J F Kennedy Blvd is one of the
main thoroughfares running through the town of West New York. Take J F Kennedy Blvd to 52nd Street,
where you will see a large PC Richards on the corner. Turn onto 52nd Street, and drive down
approximately 3/4 of a block. You will pass a long/large brown building. Just beyond this building
on your right hand side is a sign "West New York municipal parking." Turn right and park. It is
quite close to the demo location, though be advised to bring QUARTERS since the metered parking
here accepts only quarters at the rate of .50 (fifty cents) per hour. From the Municipal Parking
Lot, it is literally a 50 foot walk to Bergenline Ave. Making a left onto Bergenline Ave, you will
see Marzigliano's Live Poultry another 50 feet up the street.
**Note to NYC activists--there is a bus directly from the Port Authority, NYC, which drops you off
in front of Marzigliano's Live Market. (NJ Transit bus # 159 toward Fort Lee/Linwood Park).

UCB celebrates record-breaking win at the Nestlé Professional Toque d'Or taking the title for the fourth time. UCB's Melissa Tofani, a Hospitality Business Management FdA final year student, and VQR Level 3 students Angelina Adamo and Scott Wilkinson beat four other high-scoring finalists today to win the Nestlé Toque d'Or competition for a record breaking fourth time. The final took place over four days this week at London's infamous Dorchester Hotel, where competitors were put through a rigorous series of challenges designed to test the true extent of professional culinary expertise. UCB's fourth win at the Toque d'Or, which has evolved since its launch in 1989 to become one of the most prominent catering competitions in the UK, is not only a huge achievement for this year but a first in the competition's history. The lecturer mentoring UCB's finalists this year was Matthew Shropsall, who has guided the team right from the very beginning to succeed against the very best of young talent from across the country. He added: "An amazing result for UCB students and the University, winning the Nestle Toque d'Or for the fourth time has been a big challenge.

The butterflies are almost always the worst.
I know they're about to start fluttering when a shot of adrenaline surges through my body. My muscles feel kind of weak, even with the extra energy. I don't get sweaty palms, but the back of my neck flushes hot.
It's more than nervousness or a fear of failure. It is the need to be my very best.
Although how we feel during a competition is different for every person, there are similarities that each of us will experience. The stomach churning, fear-producing, unfocused mind can conjure up a lot of scenarios where failure becomes the only possible result. When you know these methods to help keep yourself calm while competing, it becomes easier to make the most out of these moments.
#1. Stick to a routine. Although being on complete autopilot isn't beneficial, forcing yourself to think about every single task you need to finish before starting a competition is also not helpful. I've found that by embracing how I think and feel when I'm at my best, I can focus on the routine tasks with enough attention to complete them without losing my focus on the end goal.
#2. Let it go. When it is time to start competing, the focus tends to shift from the actual competition to the variable influences which might affect it. Racers might worry about the weather, their diet, or what it might mean to fail. To avoid this, I place visual cues that emphasize the importance of the competition so I can stay focused on the process I need to follow instead of what is going on around me.
#3. Picture what it means to succeed. When I was in high school, our basketball team once lost 40 straight games. One of my friends was on that team and he just didn't care. "We never win. So I don't bother to try." That attitude went into the practices, the efforts during the game, and sometimes even how those on the team interacted with others. They were picturing themselves failing.
It's not always easy to visualize success. I look at what I want to accomplish and then picture that moment. I want to know how I'll feel so that I can strive toward that feeling with my daily actions. It doesn't mean I'll get there, but if one practices for success, they are much more likely to achieve it.
#4. Cope with the worries. Do you have people come up to you randomly while you run errands? It happens to me all the time. That kind of interaction triggers my stress alarms. I worry about who I might run into during the day and what they might say to me. During a competition, this anxiety gets heightened by 1000%. When you know your triggers and how your body reacts to them, then you can begin to cope with them.
I prefer deep breathing exercises and meditation. Anything that lets you examine the emotions, however, will be beneficial.
#5. Plan for the worst-case scenario. When you are competing, what is the worst thing that could happen to you? Picture it. Then plan what you'll do if it happens. Chances are that it will not, but when you expect the unexpected, you're able to keep pushing forward.
Staying calm isn't always easy while competing, but it is possible. Apply these methods to your next efforts to see if they can help you cross the finish line.
How do you handle competition? What strategies help you to stay calm?

Thoughts on the new iPad
\n Ever since the iPad was announced the other day, I have been giving a lot of thought to it. I have to admit, I've been thinking a lot about cloud computing the past few weeks, and this just gave those thoughts a whole new avenue. The biggest thought that I have is this: Could I, a developer, use the iPad as my primary computing device?
Well, for starters, what do I use my Mac Book for that I couldn't use the iPad for. The answer is not that much. I develop my own personal website, do a lot of stuff with JavaScript, PHP and Rails. I write, play around in Photoshop, email, twitter, blog, listen to music on iTunes and surf the web.
Ever since I got a full time job, I've not been consulting much. Most of the heavy coding I do at work on my Mac desktop.
So, in order to use the iPad there are some "products"/functionality that must be replaced/replicated.
Email: I use Mail for my email, so what difference does it make to me if it is on the mac or iPad? I use my iPhone for about half my email now anyway.
Browsing: For this one I might miss Firefox some, but I still use Safari about 25% of the time anyway. I also browse a lot on my iPhone. The larger screen would be nice.
Tweeting: I use Twitterific both on the mac and the iPhone, so no issues there
Blogging: I usually use the web interface, but I also have used the WordPress app. I think that on the iPad, this would be a far better experience than on the iPhone
Writing: With iWorks AND Google docs, I think it is safe to say that this is a no-brainer. I would more than likely want the keyboard for the iPad for any major writting…but doable.
Photos: I have been working to get all my photos on PicasaWeb anyway. Photos are an easy issue. I also have a Photoshop.com account and the iPhone app for Photoshop.com rocks. GIve Adobe a sec to get it updated for the iPad and I am in business.
This leaves me to the two hardest aspects: Music and Coding. For music I would have to cheat just the tiniest bit. I would have to store my music on my wife's pc and use iTunes to keep the iPad and iPhone with music…but I can also use LastFM whenever I have a WiFi connection (or always on the iPhone) to listen to my library as well as LastFM's picks for me :). Also, if Apple brings iTunes into the cloud, then there is a major issue fixed.
This now leaves coding. I have been playing around with Bespin since it first started in the Mozilla Labs. It's a great place to store and edit code in the cloud. That being said, until they get Git support, I will only be able to test HTML and JavaScript in Bespin. In walks http://www.kodingen.com. This service is built around a Bespin core, gives you testing servers for PHP, Rails as well as Perl and Python support. The three open source Database players are there: MySQL Postgres and SQLite. It is a developers dream land. Slick and stylish. With this final piece of the puzzle, I really could live for sometime developing and living in the cloud on an iPad.
What do you think guys? Should I do it? Leave me comments and let me know!

The purple hull pea (Vigna unguiculata) is not a true pea, but a bean. Grown as an annual it is most commonly used as a cover crop and is part of the same group as cowpeas or southern peas. Purple hull peas, as their name suggests, have a deep, richly colored purple hull, and their fruits can be eaten. There are several varieties of purple hull peas, each with their individual benefits and drawbacks.
Bush purple hull peas do not require external support, as the compact nature of the plant is self-supporting. As well, the pods grow close to the top of the foliage, making for an easy harvest. For an early harvest, the "Texas Pink Eye Purple Hull" matures in 55 days. However, more common bush purple hull pea varieties include the "Charleston Greenpack" and the "Petite-N-Green" both of which mature in 70 days and are bred to be mosaic virus resistant.
In some cases, certain purple hull bean varieties will produce vines that are spaced closely together. These varieties are known as semivining as they require less support than full-vining varieties but still require some external support unlike bush varieties. Common semivining purple hull pea varieties include the "Coronet" and the "California Pink Eye" which mature in 58 and 60 days respectively.
Unless you are choosing to use them as a cover crop, vining purple hull peas can rapidly take over all available garden space so an external support, such as a trellis, is frequently used. External supports for vining purple hull peas are similar to supports for pole beans, as they are from the same group. A popular vining purple hull pea variety is the "Mississippi Pink Eye" which matures in 63 days and is bred to be highly resistant to all Fusarium wilt diseases.
In most cases, purple hull pea varieties produce pink-eyed beans that are kidney- or oval-shaped and small. However, the less common crowder variety produces brown colored beans that are slightly larger, although the plants still have a purple outer pod. Crowder beans have a more pronounced flavor than other varieties, including the common pink-eyed purple hull peas as well as the black-eyed or cowpea varieties. A crowder variety is the "Knuckle Purple Hull" which is a bush variety that is ready to harvest in 60 days.

Making Culture in a Small Town Storefront
Andy Crouch (executive director of This Is Our City) recently visited Taylor University, where I teach. People around campus read his book Culture Making and were chatting about it. I had first met Andy at the Glen Workshop in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I read Culture Making after that meeting, and then taught it several times.
I became well-steeped in the ideas of the book and began to believe them: I wanted not just to critique or consume culture but rather to make culture. I committed to applying those principles to my writing. I focused not on lazy online criticism of others' published work, or incessant consumption of books and ideas, but rather on carefully building my own poems and narratives, improving my craft in ways that may not be obvious according to standard measures of success.
But when I came to Indiana, I saw clearly the need to make culture in my town. I'd never stayed anywhere long enough to try it. Seeing those storefronts in Hartford City made me wonder if this was the time. To put theory into practice where I live would take imagination, hope, and hard work. And of course, I couldn't do it alone.
Blackford County Arts
My chance came in 2011, when I saw a Facebook post looking for volunteers to help clean out "the old Hallmark store" on Washington Street. A recently formed group called Blackford County Arts had—through a series of generous donations, strategic partnerships, and hopeful volunteers—acquired one of the storefronts and was in the early stages of renovating it.
Better yet, they were going to turn it into an arts center, with programming and instruction for adults and children in music, painting, pottery, and creative writing.
Without a second thought, I told the group, "I'm in."
I showed up and met everyone. We donned dust masks and hauled trash for hours without much fanfare. There was something I really liked about these people. We laughed and joked and worked. Some brought bottled water; others ordered pizzas. We ate, then worked some more.

Dr. Cheryl Chao Blankenship
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include:
- Pain reduction
- Stress and tension relief
- Increased energy levels
- Stronger digestion
- Relief from bad habits and addictions
- Greater sense of overall health and well-being
- commonly treated ailments: any kind of PAIN, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, pinch nerve, thoracic outlet syndrome, phantom pain, post surgery pain, extremity numbness, insomnia, infertility, IBS, nausea, digestive issues, migraines, fibromyalgia, cramps, ED, carpal tunnel, bell's palsy, arthritis, allergies, TMJ, hot flashes, weak bladder, acne, anxiety, dizziness etc..
Chiropractic care
We offer chiropractic care in the form of spinal alignments, spinal traction, muscle therapy, ultra sound, percussion, heat, muscle stimulation, cold laser and postural rehabilitation.
Tui Na
Tui Na is an ancient form of bodywork that is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I use a variety of pressures and strokes along the meridians (energy pathways) of your body to both relax your muscles and also stimulate the flow of energy throughout your body. By treating both the physical (musculature) and energetic (Qi) levels of your body at the same time. Using Tui Na and conventional massage together will yield maximal results.
Acupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing — that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these "points" on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia.
Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing and health. Moxibustion has been used for healing purposes throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi (energy), and enhance your overall vitality and health.
Among other benefits, a landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 found that 75.4% of women suffering from breech presentations before childbirth had fetuses that rotated to the normal position after receiving moxibustion at an acupuncture point on the bladder meridian.
Laser Acupuncture
Laser Acupuncture is the latest innovation in the 2,500 year old medical tradition of acupuncture. It uses low-energy laser beams — instead of traditional acupuncture needles — on specific points of your body to unblock and restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your meridians. This treatment is completely painless, and just as effective as a traditional acupuncture session.
The many benefits of laser acupuncture include:
- Pain reduction
- Stress and tension relief
- Increased energy levels
- Stronger digestion
- Relief from bad habits and addictions
- Greater sense of overall health and well-being
Gua Sha
Although Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique used by Chinese Medicine practitioners for thousands of years, it is relatively unknown in the West. It is recognized throughout Asia as a highly effective treatment for chronic pain conditions, stress, fatigue, and a host of other ailments.
First, Gua Sha oil is applied to a specific meridian (energy pathway) on your body. I then use a smooth round-edged object (such as a spoon) to apply short brisk strokes to that area. This creates red patches of skin (called "Sha"), detoxifying your blood and restoring the healthy flow if Qi (energy) to the area. There is no pain involved, and the Sha will fade in 2 to 3 days. But the sense of health and vitality you experience from it will last much longer.
Electroacupuncture is a highly effective holistic treatment for pain, nausea, and chronic ailments. In practice, it is actually very similar to traditional acupuncture. Using the exact same system of Chinese Medicine, I insert very thin and sterile needles into specific points along the meridians of your body. I then attach the needles to a device that delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points. This helps restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your body, removing any blockages and clearing out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being.
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
The custom orthotics help to create the three crucial arches in the feet for balance of the spine. When the three arches are at its optimal, ankles, knees and hip will also fall into alignment. We recommend people who work on their feet and active people to consider the orthotics because they will benefit the most.

Dogon granary door lock (Three quarters view)
Detail Teli granaries Mechanism Maps
This elaborate small lock represents both bird and lebe, the
first hogon of the Dogon who was a descendant of the eighth
nommo. It would be a stork (associated with the rainy season
and the fertility of growing) or the representation of the ostrich
(ogotanala), allegory of the lebe snake. The ostrich
(ogotanala) is known for its zigzag course when running. This
zigzagging is symbolic of lebe because it replicates his
movements. These bird's and snake's movements are also similar to
those of the nommo as they fell to earth in the form of rain.
Lebe, part human and part supernatural, metamorphosed into a
snake (it is in this form that lebe is believed to exist
today), introduced death to the world. He visits the hogon,
licks his body, and in so doing gives him and all humanity the
strength to live. For the Dogon, lebe is the mainspring of
germination and the source of vital life force. Lebe is also
symbolized by the chevrons engraved on the lock (which are also the
representation of water and fertility of growing).
This remarkable door lock was probably used on the shutter of a
granary belonging to the lebe sanctuary. The small dish
sculpted in front of the bird would be only of passing interest, but
also the symbol of the offertories made to lebe serou.
18th / 19th century.

Michigan vs. Ohio State: Buckeyes Only Unbeaten Because B1G so Weak in 2012November 24, 2012
The Ohio State Buckeyes finished a perfect 12-0, but only because the Big Ten is a weak conference from top to bottom.
Without question, the 2012 season with Urban Meyer was one outstanding turnaround for the Bucks'.
And we can definitely expect Ohio State to be in the national title mix under Meyer for quite some time. Mainly because any time a coach can run the table with nothing to play for at season's end deserves utmost recognition.
Nevertheless, would Ohio State have gone perfect against an SEC or Pac-12 schedule? That said, let's look at the Buckeyes' 2012 regular season campaign and see how everything unfolded so perfectly.
Buckeyes' Schedule
The good news is obviously perfection. The downside is Ohio State having only played three ranked teams at the time of those games.
Michigan State was No. 18 in the coaches' poll when the Buckeyes defeated the Spartans in East Lansing. Unfortunately, Ohio State hasn't gotten much help from Sparty since as Michigan State entered the final week at 5-6.
Nebraska is by far Ohio State's biggest and most impressive victory. The Cornhuskers won the Big Ten Legends Division and were No. 14 in the BCS heading into this week. Michigan was Ohio State's only other ranked opponent, as the Wolverines were No. 19 in the BCS entering Saturday.
Rather slim victories over significantly inferior opponents Central Florida (9-3, Conference USA), California (3-9, Pac-12), UAB (3-9, Conference USA), Purdue (6-6) and Indiana (4-8) don't hold much weight.
Overcoming Wisconsin and Penn State on the road is definitely noteworthy; however, the Badgers and Nittany Lions—who lost to the Ohio Bobcats at home—are in the midst of down years as well.
As we get ready for December, Ohio State will have only played two ranked schools by regular season's end: Nebraska and Michigan.
Comparison to Other BCS Conferences
Because Ohio State is not ranked in the BCS or coaches' polls, Nebraska becomes the Big Ten's highest-ranked bowl eligible team. Michigan is the conference's only other ranked team in both polls.
The SEC, though, is represented by five schools in the BCS top 10 entering this weekend. Even in the AP poll Alabama and Georgia were ahead of undefeated Ohio State before Thanksgiving. As for the Pac-12, Oregon and Stanford reside in the BCS top 10 with Oregon State, UCLA in the top 20.
Even the ACC has been more impressive than the Big Ten from an all-encompassed perspective. Florida State and Clemson are obviously carrying that conference, and they sat No. 10 and No. 11 respectively in the BCS after last weekend—each ahead of Nebraska.
Could Ohio State have gone perfect provided it faced an SEC or Pac-12 schedule? Obviously that question cannot be answered and we'll never know about this team against the best of what's offered in 2012.
It is interesting, though, that Urban Meyer never had a perfect season while at Florida. Despite two national championships, Meyer had at least one conference loss those seasons (2006 and 2008). His only other perfect campaign came in 2004 with the Utah Utes.
Big Ten in Recent Seasons
Just look back at the 2009, 2010 and 2011 college football seasons, and the Big Ten was immensely better across the board.
In each of those three previous years the Big Ten presented a minimum of three schools with 10-plus wins: four in 2009, three with 11-plus in 2010 and three with 11 in 2011.
Even more impressive were the Big Ten's BCS showings from 2005 through 2011. During this seven-year stretch the conference sent two schools every season to the biggest of stages for college football.
Most definitely was part of that due to Ohio State competing in multiple BCS title games, but consistently receiving an at-large bid regardless is extremely dominant. Only the SEC can rightfully be viewed as the better conference during this time frame.
As for 2012, the Big Ten has taken simply a step back, especially when you exclude Ohio State's perfection.

Roger Ebert has attended international film festivals and events for almost half a century, from the Kolkata International Film Festival to the Academy Awards. In addition to his coverage, our contributors report the latest from Cannes, Telluride, Toronto, Sundance and other movie showcases world-wide.
The New York Film Festival (NYFF) is winding down, but we're only halfway done with our festival coverage. For me, it's hard to decide which films to cover. I've seen 13 films at the festival so far, and will see one or two more. And the movies I most want to write about are the ones I feel most strongly about. These are not necessarily projects that need championing more than any others. They're just movies I really want to talk about, though they are also all movies we haven't yet covered at this site. So I won't be writing about "Child of God," tyro actor-cum-filmmaker James Franco's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same name. I love Franco's "My Own Private River," a beautiful feature-length re-imagining of "My Own Private Idaho" that Franco pieced together from director Gus Van Sant's unused footage. And while Franco's "The Broken Tower" is a bit insufferable, I also mostly like it, too. It's Franco's homage to poet Hart Crane, and it's…not bad, actually. Still, I don't dislike "Child of God" enough to put it down, so I won't.
Instead, I'd like to recommend "Real," a movie that is 2/3rds on-target, and 1/3rd way off-base. By which I mean: there is a big honkin' CGI dinosaur at the end of this movie. Yes, Japanese filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa, the director of such deeply unnerving horror films as "Pulse" and "Cure," has made a movie with a plesiosaurus in it. Don't get me wrong, "Real," a horror-tinged science-fiction mystery that mostly takes place inside a woman's mind, is really strong. But that plesiosaurus is, like that hilariously cruel gag in "Murder by Death" about fat wives and big houses, hard to get around. It's emblematic of how spectacularly the film falls apart. No amount of intellectual justification can change the fact that a plesiosaurus (they emphasize that it's a plesiosaurus several times in the film; Plesiosaurus!) attacks two people at the end of this film. And it's every bit as off-putting as that sounds.
Still, "Real" starts well enough. Koichi (Takeru Satoh) has to wake up his comatose girlfriend Atsumi (Haruka Ayase), a manga artist that attempted suicide one year ago. So Koichi enters her dreams using a cutting-edge device that's like the mind-linking device in "The Cell." While in Atsumi's mind, Koichi learns he must find (in the real world) a drawing of a plesiosaurus that Atsumi drew for him when she was seven years old. Koichi has to find this dinosaur fast because Atsumi imagines that her studio apartment is flooding while her body fails her in real life.
Kurosawa's horror films are not only immediately spooky, but they're also clever. He's more thoughtful than most horror filmmakers, and he shows it in small ways, like how he develops the idea of using something as clinical as virtual-reality technology to navigate the human mind. People in Atsumi's mind all look plasticine because they're "philosophical zombies," unthinking constructs that have no free will of their own. And when a mysterious dead boy shows up, he's often shown in ridiculously grainy extreme close-ups. This is how Kurosawa subtlely reminds us that we're experiencing reality from a distance. The same is true of the fog that surrounds Atsumi's apartment in her head: there are limits to what we can see, and appreciate as life-like since not everything in this film is "real."
So it's with great regret that I must add that when the aforementioned plesiosaurus shows up, it's also for a reason. But just because Kurosawa's dinosaur makes sense doesn't mean that it's satisfying or any less batshit crazy. "Real" is about emotionally repressed characters, people that are afraid to confront themselves, and are now looking to make themselves better by exploring a virtual reality. But once "Real"'s story goes so far out on a limb that it hinges on a dinosaur chase, it's impossible to get back down to Earth.
Thankfully, "Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa" is so good that I can recommend it without reservation. You'll want to see this film, even if you aren't familiar with British comedian Steve Coogan's titular character. "Alpha Papa" is consistently hilarious, averaging about three or four belly laughs in a single scene. And all you need to know about the film is that it features a hilarious lead performance from Coogan, follows an anti-climactic hostage crisis in a Norwich radio station, and has scads of memorable one-liners. If you have a chance to see it, you should take it.
"Alpha Papa" can be appreciated by both Alan Partridge diehards and lay-viewers alike because everything you need to know about the character is explained through his actions. Partridge (Coogan), a has-been disc-jockey that had a BBC talk show until he accidentally killed a man on live TV, is a loser. He's a self-promoting moron that tries very hard to appear like an erudite badass. He always fails at this life-goal though because he doesn't realize how painfully uncool he is, as when he greets a fellow disc-jockey by wrapping his hand around the younger man's fist, and crowing, "Paper!" "Alpha Papa" follows Partridge's many failed attempts at looking good in the midst of a hostage crisis at his workplace, a Norwich radio station. But again: Partridge is a loser. He inadvertently pantses himself before comparing the hostage-taker's dead wife to Osama Bin Laden. He's not much of a hero, and that's really funny.
As Partridge, Coogan steals the show. There's virtually no dead air in this brisk comedy, and it's thanks in no small part to Coogan's performance. "Alpha Papa" features a couple of other exceptional performances, especially co-star Colm Meaney, who plays the hostage-taker. And Coogan is just one of the film's five credited screenwriters. But "Alpha Papa" belongs to him because of how comfortable he is in the role of Partridge, a character he's perfected over the course of 19 years. "Alpha Papa" isn't ground-breaking, but it's so well-made, and charming that it doesn't need to be.

Well, well, well.....Christmas is upon us. But so is this bloody massive stormfront. I feel like I've been inside a raincloud for the last several weeks. I've been rained on everywhere from San Francisco's Bernal Hill to McKinleyville's Clam Beach to the new Dipshit Alley in Ventura. Some bright forecasters were predicting that this year would be the beginning of the next horrible drought....but The Great Ornithologist (and budding meteorologist) Felonious Jive knew they were talking out of their ass. Of course, the real reason it's been so wet this winter is because of the Humboldt Brown Rain-Shrike, which alters climate at will. Apparently, it prefers almost nothing but rain, as that's what it seems to be hanging out in most of the time. So when you are building your Ark later this winter, thank the shrike.
My holiday plans you ask? Well, I'm off to bag me a goose for Christmas. A Bean Goose, the healthiest-sounding of all geese. Wouldn't you rather bite into a Bean Goose instead of, say, a Barnacle Goose? Those Snow Geese are just watery. No nutrition there. I guess a Kelp Goose wouldn't be so bad though.
Man...wouldn't that be fucked up? Some hunter rolls down to the Salton Sea specifically to shoot the most popular goose west of the Mississippi? Maybe it's best not to talk about it.
At any rate...here's a couple older Salton sea shots, as a preview for what you'll probably be seeing on here soon.

On the drive down yesterday, I was trying to think of what to call my style of Big Year. It's not a Big Year, per se, since I'm purposely not going out of my way to amass an enormous list. It's more like a regular Year than a Big Year, but that's pretty vague and completely devoid of wit. Or puns. I'll have to get down to some serious pondering.
Right. So, I'm off to the Salton Sea for a bit....then it's Christmas....so I'll try to drop some knowledge on you when I have the time. This is a highly migratory time of year for me. You understand, of course.

Gardening with a Purpose
A Monastic Garden was used by many and for multiple purposes. In many ways, gardening was the chief method of providing food for households, but also encompassed orchards, cemeteries and pleasure gardens, as well as medicinal and cultural uses. Gardening was especially important in the monasteries, as they were used extensively by the monks and created a way of life, supplying their overall livelihood. Typically, many of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs that were grown were utilized in multiple ways and over multiple parts of the garden.
Monks not only used these medicinal herbs on themselves but also on the local community. One prominent healer was Hildegard of Bingen, a woman who lived in a double monastery that housed both men and women and eventually was elected magistra and later cared for her own secluded monastery. Besides the extensive writing she did, Hildegard was regularly visited by people throughout Europe, including Henry II of England, the Holy Roman Emperor, and the empress of Byzantium, as well as the local community. Hildegard was seen as the "first woman physician" because of her work as a healer and her medical text writings.
Monasteries and Manor houses dictated the garden style of the medieval period.
A list of what you may find in the garden of the Monastery
- Gardens enclosed with wattle fences or quickthorn hedges
- Trellis walkways and arbours providing shade and privacy
- Raised beds to prevent plants becoming waterlogged
- Grass treated as a flowery mead planted with low growing wild flowers
- Turf seats usually built against a wall with flowers planted in the grass

Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting
You shall be able to use this option with all our web hosting packages and with any SSL certificate issued from any vendor. If you choose to use an SSL from our company, everything can be arrange automatically and you won't need to do anything after you purchase and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will allow you to select a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this feature requires a maximum of two additional clicks after you fill the necessary data for the certificate. The adequate functioning of the SSL will not be affected in any way and any information that visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and protected in the very same way. The one difference from employing a dedicated address is that http:// shall not open your Internet site, but it is unlikely that anybody will ever seek to access it this way instead of typing your domain name in the world-wide web browser URL bar.
Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The shared IP address option is available with all Linux semi-dedicated packages and the setup takes merely 2 mouse clicks in the hosting Control Panel irrespective if you buy an SSL via our enterprise or from a third-party vendor. There won't be any difference with regards to how the certificate functions or encrypts the data which your website visitors submit, so your Internet site will be protected without spending any additional money for a dedicated IP. The only thing that will be different is that https://the-shared-IP shall not open your website, unlike https://the-dedicated-IP, but it is quite unlikely that anyone will ever try to access your website in this way rather than entering your domain name. In addition, we offer an auto-configuration option for the SSLs purchased through our company and if you select it and you opt to use a shared IP as opposed to a dedicated one, our system will set everything up the moment the SSL is approved and issued with no need for any action on your end.

Exclusive Wonders of Istanbul
Sale Price: $64.00
Exclusive Wonders of Istanbul
This exclusive introduction to Istanbul tour includes an orientation drive and two of the big three sites: The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.
After meeting your professionally trained tour guide on the pier, you will begin an orientation drive through the business center of the modern city, across the Galata Bridge, along the banks of the Golden Horn and under the Byzantine Aqueduct of Valens. Along the way, you will see the Suleymaniye Mosque, dedicated to Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. You will continue around the mighty city walls, which once protected Constantinople from the many invasions and attacks it incurred over the centuries.
In the Old City, your first visit will be to the Hagia Sophia, the Byzantine Church of Divine Wisdom. Originally built as an Orthodox basilica, it later was used as a mosque, and now is a museum. Built in 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, it served as the cathedral of Constantinople and was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years. Upon the conquering of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453, Hagia Sofia became a mosque and was used as such until 1931. It was opened as a museum in 1935.
Departing Hagia Sophia, you will next visit the world-renowned Blue Mosque finished in 1616. Sultan Ahmet I commissioned the Blue Mosque when he was only 19 years old. The interior of the mosque is lined with more than 20,000 handmade ceramic tiles in more than fifty different tulip designs. The tiles at lower levels are traditional in design, while in the galleries they become flamboyant with representations of flowers, fruit and trees.
Next, visit the Hippodrome, originally the home of sports games in the Byzantine period. It is estimated that the Hippodrome of Constantine was about 1,476 feet long and 427 feet wide, and capable of holding 100,000 spectators. The track was U-shaped, and the emperor's box was located at the eastern end of the track.
You will be treated to an optional carpet demonstration with about 1 to 2 hours of shopping in the open (uncovered) section of the Grand Bazaar and the nearby covered area of the Grand Bazaar that dates to 1461. Well known for its jewelry, pottery, spice, and carpet shops, it also has areas where stalls are grouped by the type of goods sold, such as leather coats or gold jewelry. What started as one main building has grown into a sprawling complex consisting of 12 major buildings accessed through 22 doors. It is thought to have more than 5,000 shops and stalls, two mosques, two hamams, and many restaurants and cafes. Explore the shops filled with jewelry, carpets, leather ware, and copper goods. You will then be returned to the ship pier. Your time at the Bazaar is enough for an introduction. This is not a "shopping" tour. For the serious shopper wishing more time in the Bazaar, you can end your tour here. Please let your guide know you are not returning with the group. Guests remaining at the Bazaar are responsible for their own transportation back to the pier.
Please note: The covered area of the Grand Bazaar is closed on Sunday; a visit to the Spice Market will be substituted. Hagia Sophia is closed on Monday; a visit to Underground Cistern will be substituted. The carpet demonstration is optional and guests not wanting to attend can use the time to stroll, shop or purchase refreshments.
Reviewer: Cathy
We enjoyed the tour.The tour guide in Istanbul was fantastic his name was Selcuk Ersan
Reviewer: Singinglu
Selcuk was the best guide of our 7 shore excursions! Knowledgable about history, culture, architecture and religion he delivered a fabulous tour with limited time. He gave us an option of less time at the Grand Baazar and added a stop at the Spice Market. Perfect. We stayed on schedule without feeling rushed. Thank you!
Reviewer: Phil - conquering every country
Great way to see the main sights and get free time.
Reviewer: Ann the Cruiser
Very impressed with Shore Excursions Group. Better pricing than the cruise line. Highly organized, friendly, and returned to the ship on-time. The excursion itinerary was exceptional including all the highlights we wanted to experience.
Reviewer: Atsuko
Four of our family were on a cruise and this tour was the only one booked as not cruise ship operated tour. We were thinking a big group like cruise ship tour, however we were the only guests in this tour and we received like a private guide. It was very nice.

The 2016 vintage of Bouland's Morgon is probably the best wine under $30 in stock at Hopper's now.
Bouland's Morgon comes from a single hectare of vines planted by Bouland's grandfather in 1926 on a steep south-east facing slope. Vine age combined with Morgon`s schist bedrock and granitic sand perhaps account for the wine`s fabulous structure. The 2016 has a darker, more structured profile as always but it is certainly a much more approachable version of this wine. Like all the Bouland wines there is wonderful purity, precision and clarity that is rare in most wines. It will be lovely in five years but it's excellent drinking now.

Booshie, the vice president of The Vicious Bastards MC, wants Naggie in the filthiest of ways, but she is taken and off-limits. So, he backs off, and knows that this is one of the rare times he won't get what he wants.
Naggie Conner is wild, speaks her mind, and is covered in ink. That is her life and she's happy with who she is. When she catches her boyfriend in bed with the town tramp, she doesn't hold back her anger.
A girls night out seems like the perfect therapy to put her ex behind her. But a night of drunken abandon ends up with her going home with Booshie. Being with the alpha biker is exactly how she envisioned: untamed, explosive, and addictive. But Booshie doesn't want just one night with Naggie, and he is not the type of man to be denied.

Our Purpose and Vision
Tyrannus Online Seminary seeks to make theological education more accessible to the laypeople. It is our desire that lay Christians be equipped with a basic theological degree. The Tyrannus online program uses blended learning through online videos, podcasts, workbooks, student forum, faculty mentoring, and streaming videos. We are currently running the DipTh and BTh programs. As a basic degree, the Tyrannus BTh prepares and equips a Christian with sufficient theological training in order to serve in the local church or a Christian organization. After graduation, the person will be able to pursue further studies (e.g. the professional Master of Ministry degree or MMin) from elsewhere.
Seminary Logo
The name 'Tyrannus' comes from the book of Acts chapter 19 verse 9: '… (Paul) withdrew from them, taking the disciples with him, and argued daily in the hall of Tyrannus.' The apostle Paul spent two years in Ephesus teaching and grounding the Christian disciples with the Word and engaging in fruitful discussion with the local populace of Ephesus so that it is recorded that 'all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks' (v. 10). The seminary's name reflects the same desire to teach and ground Christians everywhere with the Word so that they can eventually engage with the world at large.

How A Daybed With Trundle Can Help You Make The Most Of A Small Space
You may have heard this term being thrown around before without really understanding what it refers to so today we're here to tell you all about trundle beds. What is a trundle bed anyway and what makes it special from other types of beds or from sofas and couches? It's really simple actually. The term refers to a small bed which can be stored underneath a larger bed and which has rollers or casters and thin but still pretty comfortable mattress. Since it's pretty similar to a couch or a sofa when in its compact form, it can serve as a daybed most of the time. In other words, it's a daybed with trundle. But why would you want to have one in your home? We'll get to that in a second and we'll show you some actual design options and products that you can buy too.
First of all, we should mention that a trundle daybed is very versatile and that's because it's suited for a lot of different types of people and a lot of different spaces. Most often, it's a good option for kids, teens or for overnight guests but not so great for old people or for anyone with back problems since the mattress on the lower bed is thin and the support is not exactly ideal.
Basically a daybed with trundle offers two individual sleeping surfaces which only take up the space of one until you also roll out the second mattress. That makes it a very practical option for kids' rooms, being a good alternative to bunk beds. Check out how beautiful this trundle bed from Rooms by Zoya B looks in this nursery room.
A daybed with trundle is also a wonderful option for a guest room. This way the space could serve as a home office or as a secondary lounge space most of the time and can become a guest sleeping area whenever you need it. Just roll out the bed and everything it all set up. LDa Architects designed such a space for one of their clients and this is what it looks like.
Trundle daybeds can also be used in playrooms. Basically the idea here is to have a comfortable little couch or sofa to sit on so since you're doing that why not add an extra bed in there too? After all, it doesn't take up any extra space and it stays hidden unless you decide to use it in which case it becomes practical.
The main reason people choose to put trundle beds into their homes and not other types of beds or sofas is often a very simple one: because these beds allow them to save a lot of space and that's important when there's little floor space to work with in the first place. That's true for a studio apartments, many children's rooms, nursery rooms as well as some attics or the interior of this beautiful lake house family room designed by Bergland + Cram.
One of the best things about daybeds with trundle is that during the day you can throw some pillows on them and use them as a sofa or a couch. The extra mattress rolled under the seat doesn't interfere with the rest of the room in any way. You can see how beautiful such a decor can be in the case of this contemporary bedroom designed by Rayna Marz.
Trundle beds are also perfect for spaces which serve multiple purposes, like this bedroom/ office/ playroom for example. When the daybed is expanded it's possible for two or even three persons to sleep here. It would be impossible to fit three regular beds in this room and to also have room for other pieces of furniture or even to move around freely.
There's no definitely choice of style when it comes to trundle beds which means it can be designed to suit any type of interior or decor. As far as size goes, there aren't that many options to choose from so you have to stick with standard mattress dimensions. Of course, you can have a daybed with trundle custom made to fit in a particular area of your house, like in this home theater designed by Brooke LLC.
At this point you might be thinking that having a trundle under your daybed is pretty practical and convenient but you'd much rather prefer to have some extra storage in there instead. Well why not have both? That's right, you can have a daybed with a trundle and with storage drawers, all in a compact and stylish package. Check out FlatFair for a few options, including the one in this image.
Or perhaps you'd much rather prefer this chic daybed with trundle from Classic Furniture. It's special because it has a high headboard as well as side panels which give it a really cozy and booth-like feel. The simple molding and the classic round finials give it a chic and elegant look.
This is 2Much!, a modern bed with trundle that's perfect for the growing family or for multifunctional spaces with ever-changing roles. Its design is playful, funky, simple and cool and the colors it comes in are fun and cheerful, allowing it to become a chic focal point for any space you put it in. We recommend this bed for spaces like a child's or a teen's bedroom, a home office or a small living room or guest bedroom.
The 4005 bed is very cool as well. What makes it stand out from all the other daybeds with trundle that we looked at today is the fact that it has a built-in desk and an open-ended bookcase. That means this is actually more than just a simple bed with a trundle. It's a whole furniture system which is perfect for a child's bedroom where you need to add a desk and some bookshelves anyway. With this system you can have it all and save plenty of space in the process.

Today was supposed to be former Boulder Police Department public-information officer Sarah Huntley's first day as spokeswoman for the City of Boulder as a whole -- but she was called back to her old job because of a very grim discovery: three dead bodies found inside a local business, Boulder Stove & Flooring.
At this writing, BPD officers and representatives of the community's coroner's office are awaiting a judge's order to allow them to search the premises in more detail. But what they've already found is disturbing enough. Huntley provides the details.
"We were called to Boulder Stove & Floor, 2887 30th Street, this morning around 11:09 a.m.," she says. "We were called there on a report of what sounded to the caller like gunshots. We responded as if it were a call in progress, and officers went into the building with weapons drawn.
"The building was open for business, so the front door was unlocked. And inside, officers found three deceased people."
Initially, officers were unable to tell if the trio were killed by gunshots, Huntley continues, and the coroner's office has only made a preliminary investigation of the bodies. However, officers arrived on the scene quickly and saw no one fleeing from the business either on foot or in a car. There was one vehicle in the parking lot when the BPD showed up, and it's still there.

As such, Huntley says, "we do not have obviously indications that there is a suspect at large."
This comment suggests a murder-suicide scenario, but it's too soon to reach that conclusion, Huntley believes. "The report that came in was 'shots fired,'" she notes, "but we don't know if the coroner has been able to determine if they were all three gunshot victims," or if one of the dead took his or her own life.
