I can also bring about 20 Scythian Marines, 4-5 SIBAS suits.
Vehicles and heavy equipment will be more difficult due to bulk and the type of travel arrangements it looks like I'll need to endure just to get to Wales let alone the remote rural ghetto the locals have forced you onto before walling it off. HOWEVER! I have some ideas it just depends if I act on them. The only things I have built are the Headhunter Walker (that wont be a problem) 2x Magog Interceptors and a Blackstar Heavy Strike Fighter... I think air warfare may be bad in a mostly ground based skirmish.

This tale comes to us via the Philadelphia Police Media department, which sends us many releases every day about crimes committed throughout the city. Typically the releases contain descriptions of criminals the police are looking to catch.
This particular release however details how a Philadelphia woman managed to find her stolen bike on craigslist and brought police along to arrest the thief, who believed he was selling the bike to an interested buyer for $1,000.
What happened according to police was that the woman's Cannondale road bike was stolen from in front of her home, somewhere in South Philadelphia's 3rd police district. She posted a photo of the bike and details on a Facebook group page: Philadelphia Stolen Bikes.
Someone in the group saw the bike listed on craigslist and notified the woman who contacted the seller and set up a time to see the bike. She contacted the third district police who sent a plain clothes officer to the seller. After looking at the bike, the officer confirmed it was the same – including a matched serial number – and arrested the thief.
If you own a bike, it's probably a good idea to record the serial number in case it's stolen.
Perhaps Chestnut Hill could use its own Facebook group for all the laptops stolen from open cars.

On the rocks with a twist
The centenary of Robert Scott's expedition to the South Pole is being celebrated this year, but what about some of the forgotten tales of the heroic age? I spoke to Dr Henry Guly about his research into medicine on historical Antarctic expeditions, and discovered one particularly unusual form of 'cold turkey'…
Sending an alcoholic to the Antarctic to help them get over their addiction sounds a little extreme. It's not the latest celebrity rehab craze, however, but an idea from 100 years ago, at the peak of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. Dr Henry Guly from Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, has done extensive research into many of the medical issues associated with exploring the Antarctic, including alcoholism. He told me more about this less than obvious form of rehab and whether it actually worked.
The first case Dr Guly described was Dr Alistair Forbes Mackay, a Scottish surgeon and polar explorer. He accompanied Ernest Shackleton, a leading British explorer, on one of his most high-profile journeys towards the South Pole. As the expedition doctor, Forbes Mackay had a lot of responsibility but wasn't always the most serious companion. He overindulged several times on the expedition, and seemed to become a bit of a 'class clown'. One mid-winter, Shackleton's crew were celebrating with a drink when they wondered where Forbes Mackay had got to. He was found in bed having drunk nearly an entire bottle of whiskey, missing most of the party.
On another occasion, when one of the expedition ponies fell in an icy pool, Forbes Mackay tried to help it by giving it brandy. But true to his reputation, he helped himself to the bottle as well. Forbes Mackay's drinking got worse after their return, and Shackleton wanted to help his friend. His solution? He asked a fellow explorer, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, to take Forbes Mackay on his next trip, despite his alcoholism and somewhat reckless tendencies.
Alcohol was taken on almost all expeditions. It was comforting on the coldest and darkest days, and a treat on special occasions. But above all, alcohol was used medicinally: as a stimulant, a sedative and nourishment for the very weak. The supply was limited, however, so the drunken behaviour showcased by Forbes Mackay was rare. Although he slipped up from time to time, he was still able to carry out his duties as expedition doctor, and his addiction was much worse at home than on any expedition. The availability of alcohol of course contributed to his lapses, but its strict control at least limited them to just a few occasions.
Forbes Mackay was not the only case of this kind. Dr Guly told me another, more tragic story. A Norwegian polar explorer called Hjalmar Johansen was set to be one of the great explorers, but struggled with a drinking problem when he returned home. Johansen got his big break when he accompanied experienced explorer Fridtjof Nansen on a trip to the North Pole. They returned home heroes, but Johansen's drinking started to take over and he lost his job in the navy. Nansen felt responsible for his former crew member, and convinced a fellow polar explorer, Roald Amundsen, to take Johansen on his next trip to the South Pole.
Early on in the expedition, Johansen and Amundsen had a serious falling out. Amundsen had set off South too early, so they had to turn back. On the journey back to base, Amundsen took the sled and left Johansen and another man to fend for themselves. Johansen saved the other man's life and returned to base after a gruelling journey, frustrated and angry with Amundsen. They argued, to Johansen's cost, and Amundsen ordered him to return to Norway.
Amundsen went on to become the first man to reach the South Pole; Johansen returned home disgraced and disappointed, and his drinking spiraled out of control. He hit rock bottom and killed himself in 1913.
Johansen's demise was clearly linked to his struggle with alcohol, but alcoholism didn't seem to be that detrimental while he was in the Antarctic. In the same way that Forbes Mackay held down his job as expedition doctor, Johansen seemed to cope well on the expedition. His disgrace was due to a clash of personalities, not addiction. But when he came back home, his drinking just got worse.
An Antarctic expedition may well have been a good distraction from drink for some alcoholics, and offered them a purpose through heroic deeds, but it did not cure them. Maybe it wasn't the craziest idea, but I doubt it will be back in fashion any time soon.

Time was when the only available adult toy for men was a badly made plastic blow up doll with a vagina about as realistic as a three dollar bill. Either that or strange little bottles of the aphrodisiac Spanish Fly. It's strange to think that one of man's most primal urges was so incredibly badly served. How times have changed. Today the adult toys for men market has exploded to become part of a $15 billion business that is growing each year by 30%.
What to Expect at Your First Adult Toy Party
The toys for men range includes everything from the most realistic butt and vagina machines, to penis sheaths, vibrators, pocket vagina, penis rings and much more. Looking for sex toys for men? Take your pick. If you are on the lookout for a fleshlight in Yoder. We will help.The choice and complexity has become every bit as tough as trying to choose a cell phone. You've got sex toys for men that vibrate, that perfectly imitate the female vagina and butt. An adult toy in the form of sophisticated penis rings and penis sheathes that prolong and enhance erection. A sex toy for men to deliver mind blowing orgasms such as state of the art masturbators, that can feel even better than the real thing. The adult toys industry has reached the point of maturity where highly trained professionals are turning their attention to it and reaping huge profits.
Some of the latest toys for men on the market are now available in Wyoming. Some of the latest adult male toys concepts readily available on the internet include:
Fleshlights – this toy for men simulates the look and feel of a mouth, a vagina or a butt. You hand pump the Fleshlight to arousing climax.
Fleshlight Toys – How to Buy a Fleshlight in Yoder WyomingRegardless of whether you are new or experienced in the use of male gay sex toys, there are numerous adult products available specifically targeted at the homosexual male in today's marketplace. Some male sex toys such as the cock ring, even though this is by no means an adult toy exclusive to the gay male market, has been around since as far back as 1200 when it was first used by the Jin and Song dynasties by the Chinese, whereas the Fleshjack brand of Fleshlight male masturbators was launched specifically for gay men in 2007.Gay Sex Toys for the Inexperienced MaleProducts tailored more towards the beginner in homosexual male adult toys include items such as male sex toy starter kits. These kits are a relatively inexpensive way of trying out a whole host of male-specific products and consist of adult sex toys such as penis pumps, butt plugs and cock rings. A butt plug, also known as an anal plug, is also a firm favourite within the gay male community as it stimulates the anal passage. Anal beads also fall into this category. The majority of anal bead strings feature beads that graduate in size the further you go up the string meaning that the user can insert as many beads as they feel comfortable with. Many also come with a hand grip for easy release. Butt plugs are available in a variety of lengths and girths depending upon what level you are at. Some anal plugs are available as anal training kits and usually comprise of three different sizes of butt plugs. A cock ring is commonly employed by men of all sexual orientations to enhance and prolong the quality of an erection by restricting the blood flow to the penis.Traditional Sex Toys for Gay MenSex pumps temporarily help to enhance the length, girth and hardness of the manhood by creating a vacuum in the cylinder which causes extra blood to rush to the penis. Male sex dolls feature vibrating and non-vibrating erect cocks, deep anuses and inviting mouths for endless possibilities. Dildos with balls and realistic vein and penis head detailing also are also popular. For the more experienced gay male, anal vibrators and vibrating butt plugs provide variable speed manipulation for the anal passageway. Anal plugs with ridges either part of or all the way along the length of the shaft also provide supplementary anal stimulation. Vibrating cock rings facilitate a similar reaction but for the penis. A pleasure wand is a double ended device that massages the scrotum and balls with one end whilst the other end sends stimulating vibrations to the anus/prostate. Male g-spot stimulators pivot to massage the g-spot deep inside the anus generating an incredibly intense orgasm.Male MasturbatorsMale Masturbators are another popular male sex toy for all male sexual orientations although male masturbators do not just come in the form of false vaginas and masturbation sleeves. In today's marketplace several male masturbators cater specifically for gay men. They include vibrating anuses and tubes that have openings in them in the form of an anus. The most popular of the gay male masturbators available are the range of Fleshjacks. A member of the Fleshlight family (a new kind of masturbation tube), Fleshjacks not only feature the characteristic real-skin feeling within the tubes but the openings come in the form of butts and anuses while some of their inner sleeves replicate the insides of an anal passageway making it the most realistic penetrative feeling from a male masturbator.The most important thing to consider whether new or experienced in the use of gay male sex toys is that the anus does not produce any natural lubrication so it is imperative that an anal lubricant is used to make penetration a much more pleasant and easier experience.
How to Fix a Cheap FlashlightReduced penis sensation, or RPS, is popularly believed to be a side effect of aging. However, men as young as their teens and early twenties, as well as older men, often report lack of penis sensitivity. In some cases, the problem affects only certain parts of the penis, but some men are able to experience very little in the way of tactile stimulation, making it difficult for them to enjoy sexual activity.Men with RPS often experience loss of confidence, frustration, and even depression and anxiety; in some cases, men may also develop erectile dysfunction. However, understanding the causes of RPS and making the right choices about penis care may be effective in restoring sensation and increasing enjoyment of intimacy.Definition of RPSAccording to the article "All about Penis Sensitivity Issues," reduced penile sensation is diagnosed when a man has normal erectile function and sex drive, but has difficulty achieving sufficient physical arousal to reach an orgasm - often because physical stimulation has little effect on the penis.Causes of RPSA number of factors can contribute to reduced penile sensitivity, most of them related either to circulatory or nerve issues. Reduced circulation to the area due to obesity, cardiovascular problems, diabetes or prolonged sitting can result in some loss of sensation. Nerve damage related to penis trauma, circumcision, prostatectomy or spinal injuries may also result in lost sensation.Another leading cause of sensory loss to the penis is simply a thickened outer layer of skin, which may develop as a result of friction (from rough clothing, aggressive masturbation, and other forms of chafing). This keratinized layer of skin can block tactile stimuli from manual stroking, oral sex or penetration, limiting a man's ability to experience sensual pleasure.RPS or ED?While RPS may eventually lead to erectile dysfunction, they are not the same thing. Men with decreased sensitivity may have no problems at all with their libido, and they may obtain erections through visual stimulation or mental imagery.Men who are concerned about erectile dysfunction and do not achieve erections during the day may attempt the following test:Before going to bed for the night, tape a thin strip of paper securely around the penis. If the ring of paper is broken in the morning, this is a fairly good sign that a nocturnal erection has occurred. As an alternative, a doctor can test erectile function by applying an electrical current to the penis to stimulate an erection. If arousal is achieved, then the problem is most likely related to RPS. If no erection occurs, then treating for ED may be necessary.Impact of reduced penis sensationAs already noted, RPS may lead to erectile dysfunction. Men with reduced sensitivity may also find it difficult to reach an orgasm; in some cases, they may not be able to achieve orgasm at all.Aside from the physiological issues associated with RPS, men may suffer from loss of self-esteem, anxiety that they may never be able to enjoy sex again, and even depression. Relationship difficulties are also a common occurrence.How to increase penis sensationMen who are experiencing lack of sensation can take a number of steps to improve the situation. First and foremost, it is important to optimize all other aspects of health; this can help to rule out some physiological causes for RPS, as well as improving a man's overall self-image and sense of well-being and confidence. Quitting smoking (a big factor in loss of function), limiting intake of alcohol and maintaining a healthy body weight are an important part of this process.Visual imagery during intimate sessions can also do a great deal for penile stimulation; whether this comes from watching an adult film or from visualizing erotic scenes depends on the preference of the individual.Rejuvenating and softening the penis skin and supporting circulatory and nerve health with the right nutrients is also recommended. A specially designed penis vitamin formula (most health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) can provide the penile tissue with the nutrients it needs to regain its supple tone and responsiveness to erotic stimulation.

This is the second blog in a series of discussions about best selling Lollar pickups. Today we'll cover our best selling Lollar tele pickups.
Lollar Tele Pickups:
A discussion of Lollar tele style pickups is a bit more accurate if we talk about favorite combinations of necks and bridges. The reason for this is because our customers often like to "mix and match" our different tele style pickups.
Our best selling stock Lollar tele bridge is the Lollar Special T Series® bridge. We sell more of these bridges than any of our others. There are 2 favorite combinations that include this choice for the bridge position.
The first combination is the Lollar Special T Series bridge plus Lollar Special T Series neck. In other words, simply a Lollar Special T Series set. A second popular combination is the Lollar Special T Series bridge plus the Lollar Vintage T Series® neck.
It is generally a "tie" when it comes to which of these stock combinations is more popular. Some months we sell more straight Lollar Special T Series sets, and some months we sell more combination sets consisting of the Lollar Special T bridge plus the Lollar Vintage T neck.
In our previous blog about best selling Lollar strat style pickups, we mentioned the popularity of the Lollar "Dirty Blonde" strat set which is a combination set consisting of the Lollar Special S bridge and Lollar Blonde neck and middle. It is interesting to point out that there is a similar pattern with teles. The combination tele style set made up of the Lollar Special T bridge plus Lollar Vintage T neck is also popular for one of the same reasons that make the Dirty Blonde set so popular: That is, Nash Guitars.
If you wanted to order what you hear in a Nash tele style guitar equipped with Lollars, you would want to order the Lollar Special T Series bridge and the Lollar Vintage T Series neck. For more detail on this Nash style combination for tele, take a look at the previous posting about Lollar Pickups and Nash Guitars.
One last question that is worth addressing: What is the most popular choice to go along with the Lollar Charlie Christian neck for telecaster? Answer (which you may have already guessed): The Lollar Special T Series bridge.
And again a reminder, these are current purchasing trends. Ultimately there is no "wrong" answer. It still all boils down to your personal preference and what tone you are seeking for the particular project or instrument. As you know, we sell a variety of Lollar tele style pickups. Each of them has its own unique characteristics and advantages. For more details and sound clips, follow this link to read more specific information about each of the various Lollar tele style pickups.
Next week we will look at best selling Lollar P-90 style pickups.

Rem Koolhaas' Ras Al Khaimah's Eco City to rival Masdarby Cate Trotter
Just when you thought development in the United Arab Emirates couldn't get any crazier, here comes a new UAE eco-city to rival Masdar. Intended to be entirely sustainable and cater to residents' every conceivable whim within its four walls, the new Ras al Khaimah eco city development in the United Arab Emirates, design by Rem Koolhaas's OMA office, is often likened to that of the zero-carbon, zero-waste Masdar. Cutting-edge solar technology will power the 1.2 million square meter city, built using locally-sourced Arabian materials and aesthetic styles to support the city's overall ethos of sustainability. Leave it to Rem to design something so grand it could possibly upstage Masdar- we'll see how it unfolds!
Cunning planning means that the least amount of direct sunlight will strike the city's buildings during the warmest times of day. Lots of narrow streets and open green spaces have also been incorporated to increase natural lighting, shading and resident happiness.
The Gateway Eco City will herald a new era in the development of the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, the furthest north of the UAE's seven emirates and the fourth largest in terms of population. The emirate is endowed with a wealth of natural resources and occupies a prime position on some of the world's most important trade routes.
The development will consist of five phases, extending over 400 million square feet. Phase 1 will consist of an integrated city to service, support and supplement the capital city of Ras Al Khaimah. The estimated time for completion has been set at 2012.

This Date In Royals History – September 27, 1999
There are rare occasions when the game on the field becomes almost secondary to the circumstances of when and where it is played. The Royals were part of just such an occurrence at the close of the 1999 season.
On Monday, September 27, 1999, the Royals were the visiting club in the very last game played at venerable Tiger Stadium in Detroit. The legendary landmark at 'The Corner' of Michigan Avenue and Trumbull Boulevard opened on April 20, 1912 – the same day as Fenway Park's debut in Boston. It was at Tiger Stadium (then known as Briggs Stadium) where Lou Gehrig took himself out of the Yankees line-up on May 2, 1939 due to a mysterious ailment which ending his consecutive games streak at 2,130 – he would never play another major league game. Needless to say it was a historic ballpark and the Tigers closed it with an 8-2 win over the Royals ten years ago.
Coincidently the last remnants of Tiger Stadium came crashing down just days ago in Detroit.
Just A Bit More: Next week the Royals will be on the road to close out the run of another major league ballpark. Barring a rally in the final week to pass the Tigers for the American League Central Division title (which is certainly not out of the question), the last game at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome will see the Royals and Twins battle next Sunday, October 4 at 1:10pm.
I'm sure the emotions won't run nearly as high for that one. The Metrodome, though home to two World Champion Twins clubs, will never be confused with a baseball cathedral like Tiger Stadium. Here's hoping that the new Target Field is finally a great ballpark for the Twins and their loyal fans.

Conservative Mennonites (Swiss-High German, Pennsylvania)
The assemblage of congregations and fellowships referred to as "conservative" Mennonites is an elusive group to identify. Some are composed of persons almost exclusively of Amish origin (such as the Beachy Amish Mennonite Fellowship), while a smaller number are exclusively of Mennonite origin. Still others have a high degree of mixture of Amish and Mennonite elements. The gradual evolution of the names in common usage also contributes to the difficulty. A similar variety of "conserving" or conservative Mennonites in the Dutch and Russian Mennonite tradition clusters around the Old Colony Mennonites and the branches of the Bergthal Mennonites, including Sommerfeld Mennonites and the Chortitzer Mennonite Conference. The reader should also consult related articles on Old Colony Mennonites and Old Order Mennonites.
Most of the groups using the name conservative Mennonite trace their origin to the Amish rather than to the Mennonites. Those which would best qualify for the conservative Mennonite name do not use the term conservative; rather, they are usually identified by such names as Old Order Mennonites (Wisler), or by a regional name such as Washington-Franklin or Southeastern Conference. They include the following; Conservative Mennonite Conference; Conservative Mennonite Fellowship; Conservative Mennonite Church of Ontario; Conservative Mennonite Churches of York and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania; Cumberland Valley Mennonite Church; Eastern Pennsylvania Mennonite Church; Mid-Atlantic Mennonite Fellowship; Midwest Mennonite Fellowship; Northern Light Gospel Mission Conference; Southeastern Mennonite Conference; Washington-Franklin Mennonite Conference; and Western Conservative Mennonite Conference. The congregations deriving from Amish roots are much more inclined to use "conservative Mennonite" as part of their name because it is often Mennonite influence on their programs and methods that accompanied their departure from the Amish. The Old Order River Brethren are a conservative group that is neither Amish nor Mennonite but rather Brethren in Christ in origin.
The name conservative Mennonite became secure by its usage in the Mennonite Yearbook in the early 1900s. It was a name applied to some independent Amish Mennonites (AM) churches not ready to affiliate with the three newly organized Amish Mennonite Conferences (1888-1892), which were the Ohio and Eastern Amish Mennonite, the Indiana-Michigan Amish Mennonite, and the Western Amish Mennonite. In 1910-1912 the congregations forming a new conference adopted the name used in the Mennonite Yearbook, Conservative Amish Mennonite, and added the term "Conference". The name Amish was dropped in 1954.
The pattern established by the Conservative Conference, i.e., using the name Mennonite because of program and methods, and eventually dropping the Amish name, has been followed by others. For most of those people, using conservative Mennonite is more respectable than using the more appropriate term progressive Amish. The gradual assimilation into the Mennonite mainstream takes place at greatly differing degrees, as is evident with the Conservative Mennonite Conference.
The difficulty of classifying congregations is evident in the Mennonite Yearbook, especially in the two broad groupings listed as "Unaffiliated Mennonite Congregations" and "Fellowship Churches." The first group, covering more than two pages, includes 1 horse-and-buggy Amish congregation, 3 fringe Beachy Amish congregations, and 16 "conservative" Mennonite congregations whose members trace their origin to the Amish and who, for the most part, are one or two generations removed from their Amish connections. At least one of the congregations is an Amish Mennonite group from the Amish schism of the late 1800s. Also included are five Amish Mennonite congregations of the "sleeping preacher" tradition. Several of the congregations qualify as truly conservative Mennonite, always having been Mennonite rather than Amish.
The Fellowship Churches listed in Mennonite Yearbook are a combination of conservative Mennonites and progressive Amish. They range from several congregations consisting largely of people from progressive Amish background to those composed of a majority of conservative Mennonites.
The Tennessee Brotherhood Churches are an unusual combination of Old Order Mennonites (Wisler) and people from various Amish groups. These influences show in a highly codified written discipline which is vigorously applied. There were a total of five congregations in Tennessee and Kentucky, none of which were listed in the Mennonite Yearbook (1986-87).
The congregations listed as conservative Mennonite are usually limited in their contacts and fellowship with each other. The working relationships between congregations are not nearly as broad as many people assume. They are not a uniform group any more than are the Amish. There are dozens of fragmentations and subgroups.

The fallout from Steve Jobs' no-show for Macworld 2009, and Apple's pull-out from all future Macworlds continues.
- First up, Arik Hesseldahl of BusinessWeek asks if Apple is ditching Macworld for CES. While many saner minds drafted up lengthy retorts, Daring Fireball nailed the one-punch-kill: "No."
- Daring Fireball also gives it's own perspective, that he not busy being born is busy dying: "Traditions are comforting. But comfort, I think, tends not to breed innovation. It can be hard to tell whether you're staying the course because it's the right direction, or because you've dug yourself into a deep rut."
- John Siracusa of Ars Technica suggests Apple's exit from Macworld is part of their "fearless" DNA: "Though painful and jarring in the short term, these kinds of moves are a big part of what makes Apple great. While other companies are paralyzed with indecision, or cling relentlessly to what has worked in the past, or are seduced by sentimentality, Apple is busy murdering its darlings. Though such dramatic moves often appear foolhardy to its more cautious competitors, Apple usually has the last laugh, working through the initial pain to find itself in a much better position down the road—a winning position."
- Andy Ihnatko, in the Chicago Sun-Times, thinks Apple may not have has anything with the iPhone or even MacBook Air Boom! factor ready: "The only products left were the Fredo Corleones of the family: the AppleTV and Mac Mini, which just sort of sit there on Apple's online store, unpromoted and unmourned."
- Daniel Eran Dilger of RoughlyDrafted thinks bigger picture, that tech trade shows are dead: "The problem for Apple is that the company doesn't need to coordinate with IDG's Macworld Expo in order to deliver [a Steve Jobs keynote.]"
- TidBITS' Tonya Engst focuses less on what's good for Apple, and more on what's good for the family, with a letter from mom: "Functional families have reunions and everyone comes if they possibly can. Your deciding not to come isn't okay, and you should reconsider. Aunt Lesa is in tears, Cousin Andy thinks that if you're not coming maybe he won't come either, and some of the more distant relatives are so fed up with your acting like a drama queen that they seem unlikely to support you the next time you hit hard times."
- In SFGate, David Bunnell, founder of the first Macworld, reminds us Steve Jobs wasn't there then either: "Later on, Sculley confided to me and to my partner, Bart Rhoades, that the first Macworld Expo had saved Apple. He complained that Jobs and his team were so burned out from getting the Mac out the door that they had accomplished virtually nothing since."
- Finally TUAW reports on Lesa Snider King's mad-at-Apple campaign: "If you're attending the Macworld Expo keynote on Tuesday, Jan. 6, you can send a message to Apple by remaining silent during the 2009 keynote. While Phil Schiller is on the stage, let there be no applause, no whistling... just utter and complete silence." Gruber one-punch-kills that one as well, via the Twitter.
So, are you mad at Apple and Steve Jobs? Do you understand where they're coming from? Do you understand and still glare in their general direction with a living hate?

Nokia will be launching the Lumia 920 on February 14th, according to a report over on Gizmodo. The flagship Windows Phone will be available for R$1,999 (approximately $1,000) and in the black version. The pricing may appear to be slightly on the high side, but Nokia will attempt to dampen the blow with a USB portable DC-16 charger (not wireless) bundled with the first customers who pre-order the handset.
The Lumia 920 sports a 4.5-inch display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage among other features. As well as the Lumia 920, Gizmodo has also learned that the Lumia 820 will be heading to Brazil later this month. They're hinting at February 21st and a price tag of between R$1,500 ($750) and R$1,600 ($800).
If you're looking forward to getting one for yourself, be sure to get in quick on the 14th of this month to be with a chance on pocketing the free portable charger.

Their Overfocus on Risk Assessment is Interesting...
Fund: Alloy Ventures, Inc.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-05-22
To me it seems as if they are focusing too much on eliminating any possible risk rather than to balance the associated risk against the market opportunity. After all it is venture capital we are talking about here, not a bank loan. We had to spend too much time taking out any risk and we therefore decided that the time spent with them was not worth it.
I also consider them to be very cheap when it comes to the size of the investment. You just get the feeling that whatever investment sum you bring up they will divide it by two without actually assessing whether the requested investment is adequate or not.PRIVATE: Members Only

Board of Governors ratifies terms of new CBAby Dan Rosen
NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League's Board of Governors voted unanimously Wednesday to ratify the new 10-year Collective Bargaining Agreement between the League and the National Hockey League Players' Association.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs, who serves as the Chairman of the Board of Governors, confirmed the unanimous ratification vote during a press conference held at the Westin Times Square.
"To the players, who were very clear they wanted to be on the ice and not negotiating labor contracts; to our partners, who support the League financially and personally; and, most importantly, to our fans, who love and have missed NHL hockey, I am sorry," Commissioner Bettman said. "I know that an explanation or an apology will not erase the hard feelings that have built up over the past few months, but I owe you an apology nevertheless.
"The National Hockey League has a responsibility to earn back your trust and support whether you watch one game or every game, and that effort begins today," Commissioner Bettman later added. "The players are ready to play their hearts out for you. The teams are preparing to welcome you back with open arms. The wait is just about over. Like all of you, we can't wait to drop the puck."
The new CBA will not be official until the NHLPA completes its ratification vote, which according to a Union spokesperson is expected to be Saturday. Commissioner Bettman said the 2012-13 regular-season schedule will be released "instantaneously" after the players' ratification vote is complete and the CBA is signed.
"There is no doubt we all love this game," Jacobs said. "Together our collective future is extremely bright. Our only interest now is to look ahead and focus on what this great game can provide to the best sports fans in the world."
The Board's ratification vote comes four days after representatives from the NHL and NHLPA spent 16 hours with a federal mediator in a New York City hotel hammering out the framework of a new CBA.
The NHL and NHLPA had been without a CBA since Sept. 16.
"Our fans are incredibly passionate about our game and were frustrated and disappointed about the fact that we weren't playing, and, frankly, they didn't care who was at fault, they wanted hockey back," Commissioner Bettman said. "I completely understand that and, as commissioner of the League, no matter what your view of the world in terms of how and why and whatever, it is my responsibility to them to try to make it right."
Commissioner Bettman said future Olympic participation by NHL players and possible realignment of teams would be looked at in the future. Those issues are not directly covered in the new CBA.
"Both issues are important to the players, the League and the clubs," Commissioner Bettman said. "Neither are bargaining chips -- they are really working together as partners, problem solving to get to the right place."
In issuing his apology, Commissioner Bettman confirmed the length of the new CBA (10 years) and said it should "stand the test of time with a system where all teams can be competitive and have a chance to make the playoffs, and even win the Stanley Cup."
Commissioner Bettman also said the negotiations took longer than anybody wanted and he is aware the length of time hurt many of the League's supporters in various ways.
"In the end, neither side got everything it wanted -- and everyone lost in the short term," Commissioner Bettman said. "But the NHL gained a long-term agreement that's good for players and good for teams and should guarantee the future success of NHL hockey for many years to come. It will help the game to grow, ensuring greater economic stability for all of our teams.
"Once the players ratify the Agreement, all the things that you love most about NHL hockey -- the speed, the intensity, the skill, the teamwork and the incredible passion -- will greet you once again," he added. "As I said, we know that no words of apology or explanation will soften the disappointment. I read the letters, I followed the tweets, I read the blogs -- we have a lot of work to do."

Super Hoops Support Every Type of Garden Fabric and Shade Net
- Use hoops to support garden row covers, protecting plants from frost, insects, birds, or intense sun
- Ideal for our 3' x 3' and 3' x 6' raised beds as well as in-ground beds
- Choice of 2 styles: Super Hoops for new transplants and low-growing crops; High Rise Super Hoops for taller plants
- Set of 6 hoops
Back by popular demand, these support hoops are customer and staff favorites. Made from two heavy-gauge wires joined by cross braces, they're easier to install than single hoops (no flopping!) and they support fabric, bird net and shade net better, too. They're ideally suited for 3' wide raised beds. They may also be used in 4' wide beds as well as in-ground beds; for these situations we recommend using 10" Extra-Tall Earth Staples to secure the hoops, especially in soft ground and windy areas. Super Hoops are 58" L and provide 14" headroom in a 3' wide bed — plenty of height for new transplants and low-growing crops. Hi-Rise Super Hoops include two sets of Super Hoops with 12 inline connectors. They're 116" L and provide 43" headroom in a 3' bed, enough height for all but the tallest crops.

When the final buzzer sounded Feb. 29 in the Atlantic Sun Tournament the basketball career of Jacob Arnett also ended.
But even though Arnett will no longer wear a Lipscomb uniform he will still be on campus as he enters the College of Pharmacy.
Basketball paid Arnett's way through college, but for him it was all about the education. He is majoring in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. He will receive his B.S. degree this May.
"Jacob is an awesome student athlete," Biology professor Jon Lowrance said. "In the classroom as on the court, Jacob has always been prepared to do his best."
Arnett still has a fifth year of eligibility remaining in basketball, but he has decided it is time to move on and concentrate on his career. He has been a major contributor to the basketball team who was known primarily for his versatility.
Despite the loss to Mercer in the first round of the A-Sun Tournament in Macon, Ga., Arnett finished on a strong note scoring 11 points.
"Every year he got a little bit better," Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson said. "Every year his numbers have gotten better.
"The unfortunate thing is we had to play him like a utility infielder in baseball. We played him at the point, at the No. 2 guard and the No. 3 and No.4 forward spots. You have to have those kinds of guys who are that versatile. The only spot he didn't play both offensively and defensively was center."
Known primarily as a shooter in high school he embraced the opportunity to be a point guard in order to increase his playing time.
"In high school all I ever did was shoot," Arnett said. "In college that is not what I was called on to do. As a point guard I had to learn how to set other people up.
"Josh Slater, Jordan Burgason and Adnan Hodzic were always going to play. I had to find a position that was going to be open where I could get some time. At point guard you have to know every position."
Arnett quickly discovered that balancing basketball with challenging academic courses and the associated labs was going to be a grind.
"One thing I was hesitant about early on was if I would be able to balance basketball with classes," Arnett said. "Those classes were demanding on my time. It was a learning experience for me early.
"I didn't study a whole lot in high school. Learning how to study and then balancing the time that you have to put into basketball was a big challenge."
Arnett admits that he often asked himself how he was going to get everything done.
"I have my goals about where I want to be and what I want to do," Arnett said. "I have a lot of internal drive."
Arnett studied wherever and whenever he could. He spent a summer completing his Organic Chemistry requirements. The class periods were lengthy and he often struggled to find the time to play pick-up basketball games and go through offseason workouts.
During the season labs often conflicted with practice. Sometimes Arnett did not have enough extra time to spend to work on his basketball skills.
"A lot of times I didn't get to stay after practice and shoot because I had to do homework," Arnett said. "I had to get it in sometime.
"I liked the bus trips because I could get a lot of studying done. For five hours you had no distractions and could get a lot done. I had some noise-cancelling headphones."
Arnett credited his teachers with being understanding of his time away from the classroom during the season. He added that his professors did a great job of providing him with device.
When Sanderson talks about his players who have fully understood what it means to be a student-athlete Arnett will be one he can point to with pride.
"He represents himself, his parents, this university and this basketball team in a great way in all aspects of life, both academically, athletically and socially," Sanderson said. "He is a very intelligent student-athlete.
"He is a hard worker on the floor. He is a hard worker in the classroom. People that work hard usually get rewarded for it."

The Texans have released veteran defensive lineman Ra'Shon Harris, the club said Monday.
Houston also placed rookie outside linebacker Sam Montgomery and rookie safety Orhian Johnson on the active / non-football injury list, the club said. Montgomery is a third-round pick from LSU, while Johnson is an undrafted free agent from Ohio State.
The club also placed defensive end Earl Okine, an undrafted free agent from Florida, on the active / physically unable to perform list.
It is unclear why Montgomery, Johnson and Okine are on the reserve lists.
Harris (6-5, 312) missed the 2012 season with a triceps injury. He was a sixth-round pick of the Steelers in 2009.
The release of Harris leaves the Texans one short of the 90-player roster limit. Montgomery, Okine and Johnson count toward the 90-player limit.

Henry happy to be 'carrying the Connecticut flag'
One of Fairfield's favorite sons, J.J. Henry, returns home this week for the Traveler's Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell. The 2006 Buick Championship winner did not play in this weekend's U.S. Open, but has made the cut in 11 of 17 events this season, winning $313,413 to date.
Henry, who lives in Fort Worth, Texas, took some time to do a Q and A before coming north for the PGA Tour's next stop, which will be his 12th straight and 15th overall in Cromwell.
I know you are not playing in the U.S. Open this week but how are things going for you?
Henry: "I'm at home (last) week; unfortunately, I wish I wasn't at home, but it is what it is. I missed qualifying by two shots ... and I'm looking forward to a little three- or four-week trip, starting the week back home."
You made the cut the last three tournaments you played in and it seems like you are playing some pretty good golf going into the Travelers.
Henry: "Yeah. Golf is a crazy game. Starting the last round of the Colonial, I was four shots out of the lead, and again, I was the low round the following week at Memorial on Saturday and started Sunday's round also four shots back. Unfortunately, I didn't quite play good or score well. I feel like I hit some good shots, but it is what it is."
This year you got to start the season a little earlier in Hawaii and finished the Hyundai Tournament of Champions tied for 13th. Was that a good way to start the year?
Henry: "No doubt. I won the (Reno-Tahoe Open) last August so I got a chance to start the year (early) and I brought my whole family out there. It was a nice place to ring in the New Year and play, but we had crazy weather and didn't finish the tournament until Tuesday. It seems like we've had a lot of crazy weather weeks this year, Mother Nature hasn't been real kind for professional golf this year."
Your 8-year-old son Connor has taken up golf, how is his career progressing?
Henry: "He's enjoying it. He asks me questions and he's taken some lessons. He's enjoying the game, but I haven't necessary pressured or forced him into doing much. He understands now what dad does and can talk to me and relate (to the game). He's a pretty good athlete. He's plays basketball and a few other sports, throw the football and stuff. It's fun to see your kids grow and then playing a sport (I play) ... it's fun to apply some of the things I've learned back to your kid."
You are making your 15th trip to Cromwell. Can you talk about what it means to play there?
Henry: "It's a great spot and I always enjoy coming back there. Travelers, Nathan Grube and his staff do a great job putting on a hometown tournament with a hometown sponsor. All of southern New England kind of rallies behind it and it's a great way to kick off summer in my opinion. ... I'm proud to continue carrying the Connecticut flag even though I live in Texas. My friends are still there, my folks, and everybody. We are coming up and will stay with them a couple days. It's always nice to be back home where it all started."

JACKSON, JOSEPHINE, CURRY COUNTIES - (Applegate, Chetco, Evans Creek, Rogue, portions of Dixon, and Sixes units.) The fall deer-hunting forecast in Jackson, Josephine and Curry counties looks good. Deer counts have been stable for the past three years, with buck ratios remaining strong. Acorn surveys throughout the area show variation in acorn abundance. The spring had less rainfall resulting in reduced brush. Hunting is expected to be average for all of the units. Most deer will be in high elevations through September. Unlike many black-tails, Jackson County's deer are migratory, and hunters are encouraged to hunt high elevations in the first part of the season, switching to mid to low elevations later in the season. Josephine and Curry county deer populations show very little migration, and deer can be found throughout all elevations. Don't forget to check fire restrictions before heading out, especially early in the season.
DOUGLAS COUNTY - (Dixon, South Indigo, Northwest Evans Creek, Melrose, Southwest Siuslaw, East Tioga and Northeast Powers units.) Deer populations remain similar to last year, with large numbers on the Umpqua Valley floor and lower populations in the Cascade and Coast ranges. Fawn ratios have been good the last 10 years, showing good overall deer recruitment throughout the county. Buck ratios are similar to last year, so hunters should expect to find a good number of legal bucks if they work clear-cuts and other places that have brushy habitat. In addition, mild winter conditions over the last few years have contributed to excellent survival, providing a good deer harvest opportunity this season.
Most property on the Umpqua Valley floor is privately owned, and hunters are reminded to obtain permission before hunting on private lands. For hunters looking to hunt on private timberlands, don't forget to check with local timber companies to obtain information on access restrictions related to fire conditions. During the early part of rifle and archery season, hunters should find deer on the northerly slopes, near water and green-up areas.
COOS COUNTY - (West Tioga, West Powers, North Sixes, Southwest Siuslaw units.) Overall deer populations in Coos County appear to be stable with some increase seen in the North Sixes and portions of the Tioga units. A decreased prevalence of deer hair-loss syndrome has resulted in better fawn survival in these areas. Buck survival during last season appeared to be fairly high as well. Hunting prospects are good in all units; however, a large percentage of private versus public lands may limit hunter access in some areas of the Powers and Sixes units. Hunters are encouraged to scout early and contact landowners in these areas to obtain access. Hunters are also encouraged to contact private timber companies and ranch owners to ask for hunting access. There is more accessible public land in the Tioga Unit, and areas such as the Elliott State Forest may be productive. Hunt for deer in brushy openings, meadows and clear-cuts where brush is beginning to grow up. Areas where vehicle access is limited will be the most productive for deer.
JACKSON, JOSEPHINE, CURRY COUNTIES - (Applegate, Chetco, Evans Creek, Rogue, portions of Tioga, Dixon, and Sixes units.) Bull ratios remain good for all of the units. February elk surveys showed a decrease in calf ratios. Cascade elk season will be early again this year with the potential to be hot and dry, so it is important for hunters to scout before hunting. Known water sources or wallows can be good locations to start your scouting. Archery hunters should focus on north-facing hills in higher elevation or areas of cooler draws where they can retreat during the heat of the day. Elk populations are minimal in the East Chetco and Applegate units, though some can be found in select drainages in Applegate. Units along the coast have higher elk numbers on private property. Elk in the Evans Creek Unit are primarily found near private properties. There also are lots of elk down low in and amongst private lands, but gaining access to these properties requires homework early in the season.
A new change for this year for archery, muzzle loader and disability hunters — the bag limit is bull only (rather than any elk) within national forestlands in the Dixon, Evans Creek and Rogue units because of declining elk populations.
Good public hunting opportunities exist on Forest Service (Siskiyou, Siuslaw, Rogue River and Umpqua national forests) and BLM lands; some state forest lands such as the Elliott State Forest in Coos and Douglas counties can also be hunted. Timber-company lands in the Tioga, Sixes, Rogue, Evans Creek, and Applegate units are sometimes open to public hunting. But hunters need to contact these companies prior to hunting to obtain the latest information on open areas and any restrictions such as road or fire closures.
There is public hunting on Coos County forestland in the north portion of the Sixes Unit and the Siskiyou National Forest in the south.
The Jackson Travel Management Area (JACTMA), which includes private forestlands, provides quality nonmotorized hunting for deer, elk, turkeys and mountain quail. This area restricts entry by motor vehicles from three days prior to General Cascade Elk season until April 30. The Upper Rogue Green Dot Travel Management program again will be in effect on the Prospect and Butte Falls ranger districts in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest; it restricts motorized vehicle access to designated roads during the general Cascade elk season. The Forest Service combined and renamed the Prospect and Butte Falls ranger districts to the "High Cascades Ranger District." TMA maps are available at the Central Point ODFW office (541-826-8774). See page 96 of the Oregon Big Game Regulations for more on locations and TMAs.
DOUGLAS COUNTY - (Dixon, South Indigo, Northwest Evans Creek, Melrose, Southwest Siuslaw, East Tioga and Northeast Powers units.) The outlook for hunters this elk season looks to be similar to last year. February aerial surveys found good bull and calf ratios at or close to management objectives. Good escapement from the 2012 hunting season and another mild winter increased elk-herd survival. Elk numbers are greatest in the East Tioga, mid to high elevations of the Dixon and South Indigo units and the perimeter of the Melrose unit. Early in the season, some of the local private timberlands are restricting access because of the high fire danger, so hunters should obtain information on restrictions before hunting.
COOS COUNTY - (West Tioga, West Powers, North Sixes, Southwest Siuslaw units.) Early forage production in Coos County was good in most places because of significant and timely spring rains; however, an extremely dry summer and the resulting fire danger may lead to large tracts of land being closed to access during early general bow, controlled bow and youth controlled hunts. Elk are expected to be in good physical shape because a large amount of feed is available. Elk populations are above the management objective in the Sixes Unit and close to objective in Powers. Over the past few years, the population in the Tioga has decreased. Much of the decrease was intentional because of populations that were chronically above management objective. Surveys done in February indicate the Tioga elk population is now at or slightly below management objective. This has resulted in limited opportunities to harvest cows in the Tioga Unit, and hunters are reminded that disability-permit holders and bowhunters can no longer harvest antlerless animals in the Tioga Unit. This change will allow the population to slowly increase toward the management objective.
The most important factor that determines where elk will be found is human activity. Elk can be expected to move to places where vehicle and other human activity are minimized. Road closure areas often are the best places to find elk on a regular basis. Within these areas, hunting will be best on north-facing slopes in the early season. Later in the season, elk often move to south-facing slopes where green-up starts earlier. A particularly productive habitat type to hunt in the Coast Range is areas where foresters have thinned timber stands. Thinning the tree canopy encourages grass and brush growth on the ground, improving feed quality.
JACKSON, JOSEPHINE AND CURRY COUNTIES - Both mountain quail and forest grouse numbers are higher this year because of the mild spring, so hunters can expect a good year. Forest grouse can be found in timbered creek draws, and mountain quail will be found in brushy clear-cuts near water. A good bird dog will aid greatly in bird retrieval.
Fall turkey hunting should be fair. Most of the population is located on private, low-elevation lands. A growing number of turkeys are finding refuge in mid-elevation conifers with many meadows or clear-cuts. Turkey hunters may use dogs during the fall season. Pheasant hunting in the counties are limited primary to private lands. The only real public pheasant hunting opportunity is during the fee season Sept. 16 to Oct. 4 at Denman Wildlife Area.
DOUGLAS COUNTY - Overall, hunters can expect a slightly below average year for upland gamebirds because of reduced numbers and lower recruitment levels. It is slightly lower because of some wet periods this spring combined with lower production the previous few years. This year, like last year, the turkey production was below the 15-year average in poult production. The expected hunter harvest should be near average because of good carryover of adult turkeys the last few years. Most turkeys can be found on or adjacent to low-mid elevation private lands associated with oak savannah habitat.
Mountain quail nesting season was good, with average numbers produced, so hunting success should be good. Success is best in the mid-elevations of the Cascades and Coast ranges near brushy clear-cuts on secondary forest roads. California (Valley) quail counts were low this year because of the long and wet spring, so hunting success should be lower than average. Most California quail are found on agricultural and low-elevation forestland. Pheasant outlook continues to be poor, because the Umpqua Valley lowlands have very few pheasants that still exist on private lands.
Blue and ruffed grouse brood counts for this year indicate slightly lower than average production. Hunting availability and success for forest grouse should be fair to good this season. Blue grouse success is best in mid to high elevations of the Cascades in partly open conifer stands. Ruffed grouse can be found near creeks, mostly at mid elevations of both the Cascades and Coast ranges. Hunters may use rimfire rifles or pistols to harvest forest grouse.
Hunters are reminded to help ODFW by providing one wing and tail fan with rump feathers from blue and ruffed grouse and mountain quail. Paper collection bags and simple instructions are available at ODFW offices. All bags with samples (one bird per bag) should be dropped off at any ODFW office with harvest date and general area of harvest. This information helps ODFW determine hatching dates, sex and age composition, an indicator of annual production and general health of local populations. See page 42 of regulations for more details.
COOS COUNTY - As was the case last year, blue grouse, ruffed grouse and wild turkey production appears to be poor because of the long, wet, winter-like spring. Surveys indicated poor brood success. In these conditions, grouse and turkey broods do not survive well because of hypothermia. Mountain quail and California quail will likely do better than forest grouse species because their broods hatch later in the spring.
Those interested in hunting grouse will find them on closed forest roads or near creek bottoms.
Quail will be found around clearcuts and exposed ridges.
While wild turkeys can be found in forested areas, the best hunting is generally in the vicinity of agricultural areas. Hunters are reminded to scout early and obtain permission before hunting.
JACKSON, JOSEPHINE AND CURRY COUNTIES - Take advantage of the September Canada goose season this year. A good number of residential flocks are on valley floors, agricultural land and at Denman Wildlife Area. Gaining access to private property is key to getting at many of these geese. The best waterfowl hunting at Denman Wildlife Area tends to occur around the end of November; area managers continue to plant crops and flood fields to attract waterfowl to Denman. Stormy weather plays a big factor in migratory birds coming into the valley and hunter success.
Explore bird-hunting locations with ODFW's Oregon Hunting Access Map. There also are some public hunting opportunities on the Rogue and Umpqua rivers and area reservoirs. Much opportunity in the region is on private properties; hunters will need to gain permission. Please be considerate of private residences along the riverbanks.
DOUGLAS COUNTY - Hunting for resident geese in Douglas County should be fair to good this year as goose production was slightly below average. The early September goose hunt should be excellent for hunters along river gravel bars frequented by geese or for those with permitted access to private property.
Local duck production was fair to good this year. Duck hunting conditions should improve as the fall migrating ducks arrive, especially since production up north was above average this year. Nearly all waterfowl hunting in the Umpqua Valley is on private property, and hunters are reminded to obtain landowner permission before hunting. Plat-I Reservoir in Sutherlin, the Umpqua River and its tributaries offer the best waterfowl hunting in the Umpqua Valley.
COOS COUNTY - Ducks will begin moving into the county early in the fall and initially concentrate in coastal bays and other large water bodies. A large portion of Coos Bay is open to hunting, even though some of it is within the city limits of Coos Bay. Other areas within the city limits of Coos Bay and all areas within city limits of North Bend are closed to hunting. There also is an area near the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in North Bend that is closed to hunting. Hunters are encouraged to contact the ODFW Charleston Field Office (541-888-5515) to obtain the latest information on areas open for hunting. As winter comes on and the rainy season starts, waterfowl will disperse inland to flooded river valleys such as the Coquille.
Geese will concentrate on private pastures around river valleys. Canada goose populations have been growing over the past few years. Good goose hunting can be found in most of the county. The key to a successful hunt is scouting before the hunt for areas where geese are going to feed or rest.
JACKSON, JOSEPHINE, CURRY COUNTIES - Spring rains were less this year; berry crops are fewer and vary throughout each county. Locating these berry crops and looking for bear sign will improve productivity. Hunters can expect an above-average year. Bear numbers continue to be abundant. During hot, dry weather, bears will be found around cooler, wet drainages, with the best times in early morning and late evening.
Cougars are found throughout the district and can be hunted all year long. They can pose a challenge to hunt, but hunters are finding the use of predator calls along major ridge lines as a way to increase their odds. Don't forget to purchase a tag so you can take one if you see it; the vast majority of cougars taken today are by hunters pursuing other species.

SAN BERNARDINO – A Fontana boy who was chasing a dog on North D Street was killed Friday night when he dashed into the street and was struck by a vehicle, police said.
"How absolutely awful for that mother and the poor man who hit the boy," said Marvella Munos of Los Angeles, who was visiting family.
She and her sister, Socorro Pinon, also of Los Angeles, were walking Saturday with their children near where the 7-year-old boy was struck and killed.
"May God bless and keep them both," Munos said.
Shortly before 6 p.m. Friday, paramedics were called to the 1400 block of North D Street after being alerted that a child had been struck by a vehicle, authorities said.
They found the boy had major injuries after being struck by a northbound Chevrolet Blazer.
The driver of the Blazer stopped, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police said.
The boy was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he died, authorities said.
Police said the boy and another child were chasing a dog when the 7-year-old darted out in the street into the path of the Blazer, driven by a 64-year-old San Bernardino man.
The driver couldn't see the boy until it was too late and struck the child with the front of his vehicle, police said.
"Kids are so mischievous and you can turn your back for just a few moments, and they're out the door or into something they shouldn't be in," said Munos as her sister warned their three boys to stay away from a dog behind a fence. "See? If we don't watch them, they would've been trying to play with that dog and then they could've gotten bit."
Pinon agreed, adding that even the most vigilant parents can have a moment when their child gets away from them.
"It's happened to all of us, but unfortunately for this mother, this instance ended in tragedy," Pinon said.
It was unclear where the children's parents were when the fatal accident took place.
