Team Dymatize Brock LesnarMMA Heavyweight Champion BiographyLesnar was a dominant collegiate wrestler. He wrestled for two years at Bismarck State College in North Dakota, where he accumulated a 56-3 record and earned the NJCAA wrestling championship as a heavyweight in 1998. Lesnar then transferred to the University of Minnesota and proceeded to win the 2000 NCAA wrestling championship as a heavyweight. He finished his amateur career as a four-time All-American, two-time Big Ten Champion and NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion with an overall record of 106-5. Following his amateur career, Lesnar joined World Wrestling Entertainment and enjoyed immediate success as a professional wrestler. Within five months of making his television debut, Lesnar, at age 25, became the WWE Undisputed Champion. He went on to become a three-time WWE Champion before leaving WWE in 2004 to pursue a career in the National Football League. Lesnar is currently competing as an MMA fighter. His much anticipated MMA debut was among the highest revenue generating events in the history of pay-per-view. On November 15, 2008, Lesnar captured the Heavyweight Championship in just his fourth professional MMA bout, defeating legendary fighter Randy Couture by technical knockout in the second round. After headlining events registering over 2.2 Million buys, Lesnar was announced as 2008's "top pay-per-view draw" by Yahoo Sports. To handle his hard-core, and sometimes marathon training sessions, Brock developed his own supplementation program: Xpand Xtreme Pump for pre-workout, Elite Protein for packing on muscle and Elite Recoup for recovery. We now call it...The Brock Stack. Andy HamanIFBB Pro BodybuilderUSA National Freestyle Wrestling Champion BiographyAfter only a year and half of training 5 hours per day- Andy captured and won the Masters National title in the Superheavy weight class and overall title to earn IFBB pro status. Truly a young boy's Dream, that started in an average Iowa town, in an average Iowa basement to an average Iowa kid with a not so average brother who pushed him to be a Pro! Andy received his Bachelor of Science in Education with a Health and Art minor. He has taught in the public school system for 14 years and coached Wrestling and Football with numerous league and State Champions as well. Erin Stern2010 Figure Olympia Champion BiographyErin grew up riding horses, and for fun would run next to her horse and jump fences with him. Her parents suggested she try out for the track team in high school. She went on to compete in the high jump, pentathlon, and heptathlon for the University of Florida, and was a Jr All-American and Co-Captain of the team while at UF. Still competing in the high jump in 2008, she missed the Olympic Qualifying Standard in the high jump by 3 cm. This near miss prompted her to try and be competitive in a different sport: Figure. She earned her IFBB Pro Card by winning the Overall Figure Championship at NPC Nationals in 2008, which was her third show! Erin captured her first title as the 2010 Olympia Figure Champion. She has a BA in Environmental Policy from UF, and is currently a Realtor, contest prep consultant, and a writer.

U.S. Department of State Background Note
Iraq is bordered by Kuwait, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. The country slopes from mountains over 3,000 meters (10,000 ft.) above sea level along the border with Iran and Turkey to the remnants of sea-level marshes in the southeast. Much of the land is desert or wasteland. The mountains in the northeast are an extension of the alpine system that runs eastward from the Balkans into southern Turkey, northern Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, terminating in the Himalayas.
Average temperatures range from higher than 48°C (120°F) in July and August to below freezing in January. Most of the rainfall occurs from December through April and averages between 10 and 18 centimeters (4-7 in.) annually. The mountainous region of northern Iraq receives appreciably more precipitation than the central or southern desert region.
Almost 75% of Iraq's population live in the flat, alluvial plain stretching southeast from Baghdad and Basrah to the Persian Gulf. The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers carry about 70 million cubic meters of silt annually to the delta. Known in ancient times as Mesopotamia, the region is the legendary locale of the Garden of Eden. The ruins of Ur, Babylon, and other ancient cities are in Iraq.
Iraq's two largest ethnic groups are Arabs and Kurds. Other distinct groups are Turcoman, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Persians, and Armenians. Arabic is the most commonly spoken language. Kurdish is spoken in the north, and English is the most commonly spoken Western language.
The majority (60-65%) of Iraqi Muslims are members of the Shi'a sect, but there is a large (32-37%) Sunni population as well, made up of both Arabs and Kurds. Small communities of Christians, Jews, Bahais, Mandaeans, and Yezidis also exist. Most Kurds are Sunni Muslim but differ from their Arab neighbors in language, dress, and customs.
Once known as Mesopotamia, Iraq was the site of flourishing ancient civilizations, including the Sumerian, Babylonian, and Parthian cultures. Muslims conquered Iraq in the seventh century A.D. In the eighth century, the Abassid caliphate established its capital at Baghdad.
At the end of World War I, Iraq became a British-mandated territory. When it was declared independent in 1932, the Hashemite family, which also ruled Jordan, ruled as a constitutional monarchy. In 1945, Iraq joined the United Nations and became a founding member of the Arab League. In 1956, the Baghdad Pact allied Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom, and established its headquarters in Baghdad.
Gen. Abdul Karim Qasim took power in July 1958 coup, during which King Faysal II and Prime Minister Nuri as-Said were killed. Qasim ended Iraq's membership in the Baghdad Pact in 1959. Qasim was assassinated in February 1963, when the Arab Socialist Renaissance Party (Ba'ath Party) took power under the leadership of Gen. Ahmad Hasan al-Bakr as prime minister and Col. Abdul Salam Arif as president.
Nine months later, Arif led a coup ousting the Ba'ath government. In April 1966, Arif was killed in a plane crash and was succeeded by his brother, Gen. Abdul Rahman Mohammad Arif. On July 17, 1968, a group of Ba'athists and military elements overthrew the Arif regime. Ahmad Hasan al-Bakr reemerged as the President of Iraq and Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC).
In July 1979, Bakr resigned, and Saddam Hussein assumed both offices. The Iran-Iraq war (1980-88) devastated the economy of Iraq. Iraq declared victory in 1988 but actually achieved a weary return to the status quo antebellum. The war left Iraq with the largest military establishment in the Gulf region but with huge debts and an ongoing rebellion by Kurdish elements in the northern mountains. The government suppressed the rebellion by using weapons of mass destruction on civilian targets, including a mass chemical weapons attack on the city of Halabja that killed several thousand civilians.
Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, but a U.S.-led coalition acting under United Nations (UN) resolutions expelled Iraq from Kuwait in February 1991. After the war, Kurds in the north and Shi'a Muslims in the south rebelled against the government of Saddam Hussein. The government responded quickly and with crushing force, killing thousands. It also pursued damaging environmental and agricultural policy meant to drain the marshes of the south. As a result, the United States, United Kingdom, and France established protective no-fly zones in northern and southern Iraq. In addition, the UN Security Council required the regime to surrender its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and submit to UN inspections. When the Ba'ath regime refused to fully cooperate with the UN inspections, the Security Council employed sanctions to prevent further WMD development and compel Iraqi adherence to international obligations. Coalition forces enforced no-fly zones in southern and northern Iraq to protect Iraqi citizens from attack by the regime and a no-drive zone in southern Iraq to prevent the regime from massing forces to threaten or again invade Kuwait.
A U.S.-led coalition removed the Ba'th regime in March-April 2003, bringing an end to more than 12 years of Iraqi defiance of UN Security Council resolutions. The coalition formed the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) to provide for the administration of Iraq during the period of transitional administration, to restore conditions of security and stability, and to create conditions in which the Iraqi people could freely determine their own political future. The UN Security Council acknowledged the authorities of the coalition and provided for a role for the UN and other parties to assist in fulfilling these objectives.
The CPA disbanded on June 28, 2004, transferring sovereign authority for governing Iraq to the Iraqi Interim Government (IIG). Based on the timetable laid out in the Transitional Administrative Law (TAL), the IIG governed Iraq until elections were held on January 30, 2005; thereafter the Iraqi Transitional Government assumed authority.
In May 2005, the Iraqi Transitional Government appointed a multi-ethnic committee to draft a new Iraqi Constitution. The new constitution was finalized in September 2005, and was ratified in a nationwide referendum on October 15, 2005. On December 15, 2005, Iraqis again went to the polls to participate in the first legislative elections as laid out by the new constitution. The new four-year, constitutionally based government took office in March 2006, and the new cabinet was approved and installed in May 2006.
Iraq is a constitutional democracy with a federal system of government. The 2005 Iraqi Constitution guarantees all Iraqis basic rights in many areas. The executive branch is made up of the Presidency Council (one president, two deputy presidents) and a Council of Ministers (one prime minister, two deputy prime ministers, and 34 cabinet ministers). The President is the Head of State, protecting the Constitution and representing the sovereignty and unity of the state, while the Prime Minister is the direct executive authority and commander in chief. Beginning in 2006, the military and police began transitioning from being under the operational control of the Multi-National Forces-Iraq command to Iraqi command and control. The President and Vice Presidents are elected by the Council of Representatives (CoR). The Prime Minister is nominated by the largest bloc in the Council of Representatives. Upon designation, the Prime Minister names the members of his cabinet, the Council of Ministers, which is then approved by the Council of Representatives. The Council of Representatives may withdraw confidence from the Prime Minister, in which case the Prime Minister and Cabinet are considered resigned. Under normal circumstances, the executive branch serves a four-year term concurrent with that of the Council of Representatives.
Iraq's legislative branch consists of an elected Council of Representatives and an as-yet unformed Federation Council. The Council of Representatives consists of 275 members, each of whom is elected to four-year terms of service. At least one-quarter of the members of the Council of Representatives must be female. The responsibilities of the Council of Representatives include enacting federal laws, monitoring the executive branch, and electing the President of the Republic. The Federal Council will be established, by law, as a representative for governorates and territories that are not organized in a region.
Iraq's judicial branch is independent, and is under no authority but that of the law. The federal judicial authority is comprised of the Higher Judicial Council, Federal Supreme Court, Court of Cassation, Public Prosecution Department, Judiciary Oversight Commission, and other federal courts. The Higher Judicial Council supervises the affairs of the federal judiciary. The Federal Supreme Court is the highest court in the country, and the final authority on legal decisions. The establishment of the federal courts, their types, and methods for judicial appointments will be set forth by laws enacted by the Council of Representatives.
Principal Officials of the Iraqi National Unity Government
Major Political Parties and Organizations [Leaders]
Note: The Democratic Patriotic Alliance of Kurdistan, the Iraqi List, and the United Iraqi Alliance were electoral blocs consisting of the representatives from the various Iraqi political parties. Alliances and Electoral blocs are subject to change.
Since March 2006, the Government of Iraq has been a broad coalition led by a Shi'ite legislative bloc known as the United Iraqi Coalition (UIC) or the United Iraqi Alliance (UIA). The UIC currently holds 128 of 275 seats in the Council of Representatives. The UIC is currently composed of ISCI, the al-Sadr movement, al-Da'wa al-Islamiyya, Da'wa Tanzim al-Iraq, Jama'at al-Fadilah, and various independents. Politicians with Sunni religious affiliations, including the Tawaffuq and Hewar groups, presently hold 59 seats in the Council of Representatives. The Kurdish bloc known as the Democratic Patriotic Alliance of Kurdistan (which includes the KDP & PUK) holds 53 legislative seats. Ayad Allawi's Iraqiyya or Iraqi National List (INL) holds 25 seats. The remaining seats are composed of various independents.
With regard to the executive branch, much care has been given to ensure that there is proportionate distribution of ministerial positions among the major political groups. For example, in the Presidency Council, President Jalal Talabani is Kurdish, Deputy President 'Adil 'Abd al-Mahdi is a Shi'a Muslim, and Deputy President Tariq al-Hashimi is a Sunni Muslim. Additionally, the Council of Ministers consists of 18 Shi'a Muslims, 8 Sunni Muslims, 8 Kurds, and 5 members of Ayad Allawi's secular INA.
The Government of Iraq is currently working toward reviewing the Constitution. The process is likely to be a long and careful one, as consideration needs to be given to the interests of each of the major political groups. Issues to be addressed include federalism, the sharing of oil revenues, de-Ba'thification reform, and provincial elections.
Historically, Iraq's economy was characterized by a heavy dependence on oil exports and an emphasis on development through central planning. Prior to the outbreak of the war with Iran in September 1980, Iraq's economic prospects were bright. Oil production had reached a level of 3.5 million barrels per day, and oil revenues were $21 billion in 1979 and $27 billion in 1980. At the outbreak of the war, Iraq had amassed an estimated $35 billion in foreign exchange reserves.
The Iran-Iraq war depleted Iraq's foreign exchange reserves, devastated its economy, and left the country saddled with a foreign debt of more than $40 billion. After hostilities ceased, oil exports gradually increased with the construction of new pipelines and the restoration of damaged facilities. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, subsequent international sanctions, damage from military action by an international coalition beginning in January 1991, and neglect of infrastructure drastically reduced economic activity. Government policies of diverting income to key supporters of the regime while sustaining a large military and internal security force further impaired finances, leaving the average Iraqi citizen facing desperate hardships.
Implementation of a UN Oil-For-Food (OFF) program in December 1996 improved conditions for the average Iraqi citizen. In December 1999, Iraq was authorized to export unlimited quantities of oil through OFF to finance essential civilian needs including, among other things, food, medicine, and infrastructure repair parts. The drop in GDP in 2001-02 was largely the result of the global economic slowdown and lower oil prices. Per capita food imports increased significantly, while medical supplies and health care services steadily improved. The occupation of the U.S.-led coalition in March-April 2003 resulted in the shutdown of much of the central economic administrative structure. The rebuilding of oil infrastructure, utilities infrastructure, and other production capacities has proceeded steadily since 2004 despite attacks on key economic facilities and continuing internal security incidents. Despite uncertainty, Iraq is making progress toward establishing the laws and institutions needed to make and implement economic policy.
Iraq's economy is dominated by the oil sector, which has traditionally provided about 95% of foreign exchange earnings. Current estimates show that oil production averages 2.0 million bbl/day,
One key issue that currently confronts economic policymakers in Iraq is inflation. The year-on-year inflation rate for 2006 was 64.8%, a significant increase over the 2005 rate of 31.6% and well above the IMF target rate of 30% annual inflation. In an effort to infuse some stability in prices in Iraq, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) began to appreciate the Iraqi Dinar (ID) relative to the U.S. Dollar (USD) in November 2006. As of June 7, the CBI had appreciated the ID by 17%. It has also accelerated interest rate increases; the deposit rate is currently 20%. Inflation in Iraq, however, is only partly a monetary problem, and is more strongly related to real sector effects, particularly bottlenecks resulting from the security situation.
The Iraqi Government is seeking to pass and implement laws to strengthen the economy, including a hydrocarbon law to encourage development of this sector, a revenue sharing law to equitably divide oil revenues within the nation in line with the Iraqi constitution, and writing regulations to implement a new foreign investment law. Controlling inflation, reducing corruption, and implementing structural reforms such as bank restructuring and private sector development will be key to Iraq's economic growth.
Foreign assistance has been an integral component of Iraq's reconstruction efforts over the past three years. At a Donors Conference in Madrid in October 2003, more than $33 billion was pledged to assist in the reconstruction of Iraq. Out of that conference, the United Nations (UN) and the World Bank launched the International Reconstruction Fund Facility for Iraq (IRFFI) to administer and disburse about $1.4 billion of those funds. The rest of the assistance is being disbursed bilaterally. To date $13.5 billion has been pledged in foreign aid for 2004-2007 from outside of the U.S.
The Government of Iraq has also made an agreement with the Paris Club to reduce some of its debt service obligations. This three-stage agreement will allow for the reduction of over $34 billion in Iraqi debt. Also, in December 2005, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed to extend a stand-by agreement (SBA) to the Government of Iraq in the amount of SDR 475.4 million (about U.S. $685 million).
In July 2006, the Government of Iraq and the UN began work to formulate the International Compact with Iraq (ICI), a five-year framework for Iraq to achieve economic self-sufficiency within its region and the world. On May 3, 2007 in Sharm el-Sheikh the ICI was formally launched by more than 70 countries and international organizations, many represented at the ministerial level.
The Compact aims to create a mutually reinforcing dynamic of national consensus and international support. Domestically the aim is to build a national Compact around the government's political and economic program and to restore the Iraqi people's trust in the state and its ability to protect them and meet their basic needs. Internationally, the Compact establishes a framework of mutual commitments to provide financial and technical assistance and debt relief needed to support Iraq and strengthen its resolve to address critical reforms and policies.
The Iran-Iraq War ended with Iraq sustaining the largest military structure in the Middle East, with more than 70 divisions in its army and an air force of over 700 modern aircraft. Losses during the 1990 invasion of Kuwait and subsequent expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1991 by a UN coalition resulted in the reduction of Iraq's ground forces to 23 divisions and air force to less than 300 aircraft.
When major combat operations ended in April 2003, the Iraqi Army disintegrated, and its installations were destroyed by pilfering and looting. The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) officially dissolved the Iraqi military and Ministry of Defense on May 23, 2003. On August 7, 2003, the CPA established the New Iraqi Army as the first step toward the creation of the national self-defense force of post-Saddam Hussein Iraq. Support for the manning, training, and equipping of Iraq's security forces is led by the Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I). In addition to defense forces, the Ministry of Interior, with the help of the MNSTC-I, is training and equipping civilian police forces to establish security and stability, primarily through combating the nation-wide insurgency. Initially under the command and control of the Multi-National Forces-Iraq (MNF-I) command, in 2006 police and Iraqi Army units began to transition to Iraqi civilian control.
With the fall of Saddam Hussein and the Ba'ath regime, Iraq has taken steps toward re-engagement on the international stage. Iraq currently has diplomatic representation in 54 countries around the world, including 3 permanent Missions to the United Nations in New York, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva and the Arab League in Cairo. 48 countries have diplomatic representation in Iraq,
The Republic of Iraq belongs to the following international organizations: United Nations (UN); Arab League (AL); World Bank (WB); International Monetary Fund (IMF); International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); Nonaligned Movement (NAM); Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC); Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC); Interpol; World Health Organization (WHO); G-19; G-77; Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (ABEDA); Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD); Arab Monetary Fund (AMF); Council of Arab Economic Unity (CAEU); Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD); International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); International Community for Radionuclide Metrology (ICRM); International Development Association (IDA); International Development Bank (IDB); International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD); International Finance Corporation (IFC); International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRCS); International Labor Organization (ILO); International Maritime Organization (IMO); Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC); International Organization for Standardization (ISO); International Telecommunication Union (ITU); Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC); United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD); United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO); Universal Postal Union (UPU); World Customs Organization (WCO); World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU); World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO); World Meteorological Organization (WMO); World Trade Organization (WTO) observer.
The focus of United States policy in Iraq remains on helping the Iraqi people build a constitutional, representative government that respects the rights of all Iraqis and has security forces capable of maintaining order and preventing the country from becoming a safe haven for terrorists and foreign fighters. The ultimate goal is an Iraq that is peaceful, united, stable, democratic, and secure, with institutions capable of providing just governance and security for all Iraqis and is an ally in the war against terrorism. U.S. forces remain in Iraq as part of the Multi-National Force-Iraq to assist the Government of Iraq in training its security forces, as well as to work in partnership with the Government of Iraq to combat forces that seek to derail Iraq's progression toward full democracy. The U.S. Government is carrying out a multibillion-dollar program to assist in the reconstruction of Iraq.

Hi everyone
Below is "THE CHEF'S" second recipe entry to our blog site. Again this is a very popular dish at the resort and there have been many many requests for the recipe. As always "THE CHEF" has given a loose guideline to follow,allowing you to experiment and discover. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to repost or tweet and of course we would also love to hear you comments.
For MANGO SALSA
• 1 Fresh mango
• Half of Cucumber
• 1/3rd of Red mild chili pepper – if you want you can use more spicy sort of chili
• 1 Fresh lime
• Pinch of Fresh mint
• Pinch of Fresh coriander
• Olive oil
• Scallops (up to your appetite)
• Parma ham (one slice will be good for two scallops) can be Serrano or just smoked bacon
• Garlic oil
• Lemon grass
STEP ONE: First: Do not forget to wash you fruits, herbs and vegetables.
STEP TWO: Start with the mango …cut off the skin with sharp knife. Slice the flesh of the mango off the seed. Cut the flesh of the mango in to small 5mm cubes, you can cut to larger size However if the size of the cubes is to small you will get a sort of smoothie paste …not the salsa you desire.
STEP THREE: Peel cucumber, then with a tea spoon take out the seeds…Both peelings and seeds go to garbage .Slice cucumber little bit smaller than you have sliced your mango. Then gently mix with mango.
STEP 4: Grate green skin of lime in to mango and cucumber skin .Now is time for mint and coriander …chop leaves or just use your fingers to tear. Fingers will help retain more juice in leaves .Add in to the mix chopped chilli and a little olive oil (not too much with these two…or will be to spicy or too oily , plus oil will make your mango very soft …if you planning to keep salsa longer). One more time mix gently…and salsa ready …keep in cool place …not freeze please or will become watery.
STEP FIVE: First make garlic oil, this is very easy …just peel the garlic. Take out the green part of garlic if your garlic has one. This green part will give bitter taste to oil,. You can use this oil for your rmeat, or vegetables, trust me it nice thing to have when you cook
STEP SIX: gently wrap your scallop in the Parma ham Try not to add to much ham or you will the kill taste of the scallop. Also when you will cook the ham will give salt to the scallop
STEP SEVEN: Hit the pan, add olive oil .if you don't like smell of olive oil you can use vegetable or grape-seed oil. Add in to the pan chopped lemon grass , when oil aroma changes add and fry your scallops and parma rolls from two sides, you will not need salt. You will need to add little bit garlic oil ,and pink peppercorn (if you have). Pink peppers will nicely work with in this dish. Please not burn the garlic…
TO SERVE: Just place you mango salsa with table spoon on plate ,on top scallops. You can add fresh herbs , rocket leaves, baby spinach, flowers from your garden (though rosemary will be not good idea ) add cherry tomatoes, slices of lime , or balsamic cream …just to make your dish looks nicer.
Nice and easy…mix of traditions

Comments: I threw out a junebug quickstrike at the resevoir and 15 minutes into fishing I caught a 4 pounder. I enjoy the ability to change out blades to see what kind of presentation the bass are after. I don't have any problems with this one getting hung up. I also like how the blades are connected. If a bass hits the blades they will get out of the way fast since they aren't wire and instead he gets the hook.
From: Joe: GA
Comments: Best spinnerbait on the market! Unlike most other spinnerbaits on the market it always runs true,....no twisting from torque of the blades when burning it, interchangable blades allow ne to customize it as conditions change. Just a great bait
From: BK: roseville, CA
Comments: Excellent spinnerbaits They run straight, all the blades helicopter on the fall. And they just catch bass like crazy. All the blades are interchangeable, You can change the blades to match conditions. Its a lot of fun to fish these lures
From: Casey: Winston, OR
Comments: this spinnerbaitit swims always true, perfect for shallow water presentation

Skip to comments.Man With a Gun Tries To Enter Mamaroneck, NY Middle School
Posted on 01/03/2013 1:10:27 PM PST by MWestMom
A Westchester school was locked down this morning when a middle-aged man tried to enter with a gun on his waist.
Was his name and address on the Journal-News map?
Was he a policeman?
I have no doubt whatsoever that this was a set up. They let this guy just walk away and no cops got him?
I bet that newspaper is behind this.
According to NBC's Channel 4 New York:
"Schools in Mamaroneck, N.Y. are locked down after a man with a gun showed up at a middle school and tried to get in, officials said.
The man left without incident, officials said.
He tried to access Hommocks Middle School through a side entrance that was locked, and then went to the main entrance, where he was stopped.
A campus worker asked him why he was there and noticed he had a gun, according to an email sent to parents. The man said he had the gun because he works as a security guard.
He said he wanted to retrieve an item of clothing he left in the pool area over the weekend, according to Mamaroneck Police.
Lt. Robert Koziak said the man was described as "pleasant."
He was not allowed in, and left.
Parents were notified that schools were secured, and that afternoon and evening activities had been canceled."
Society is utterly stupid.
That's in Westchester county - one of the counties on the map published by the journal.
They have a pool at their school?
This story is weird all the way around. Glad the man was "pleasant".
Pardon me, I meant "The Journal."
Yep this smells of a set up
Would you really be surprised if you found out later that's what happened?
Test run?
Surely he must have broken a "gun-free zone" law, and they let him walk away? Hmmm.
You and I try this and we're in BIG doo doo.
Would you really be surprised if you found out later that's what happened?
Nope, I've been saying it since the day it happened. I would not be surprised to find out HUSSEIN was behind the school shooting AND the movie theater shooting.
That "Weapons Prohibited" sticker sure slowed him down. /sarc
After "Fast and Furious", I would be surprised if he wasn't.
High schools let middle aged men swim in their
Originally thought this was going to be an anti gun protester.
If he was a private police officer, and he was pleasant and had his gun holstered and visible, what the heck is the problem?
It was a middle school - double why do they have a pool?
Maybe the man WAS security - LOL - don't know their own.
"If he was a private police officer, and he was pleasant and had his gun holstered and visible, what the heck is the problem?"
Maybe because he tried first at a side door? A bit odd. There is also no evidence he is a PO or some such.
I agree it could be all innocuous, and the man was "nice", but it's still a weird story.
Pretty common to have a pool at the high school around here—middle school less so.
I was rather surprised to learn that some schools, especially high schools, in poorer neighborhoods, frequently have a problem with adults coming on to school grounds for all sorts of bad reasons.
In one such school, they had to post an armed security guard in the gym, because adults would show up, take the basketball away from the kids, and start playing basketball.
The security guard was initially surprised because their attitude was, "Should I have not done that?", not grasping the difference between a school and a public park with a basketball court. But he soon soured of the stupidity, and was clear that if they didn't leave, right now, he was half inclined to shoot them.
Even then, much of the time, the jerks would try to take the school's basketball with them, claiming it was their own, despite the large print on it identifying it as the property of the school. When they surrendered the ball, it would be with a string of curses.
His team of armed guards at the school were busy all day, only a fraction of the time with students.
Vt teacher has "metal health" evaluation after carrying Bushmaster and making comments about union negatively affecting children...
metal = mental
OK I know you meant "mental health" but I had a LOL image of an exam: "OK, who's better, Black Death, or Mötley Crüe?"
The school complex has a pool and a skating rink that is shared with the community and surrounding areas. Admission to rink is discounted to Town residents, and is used by many from surrounding areas. Very nice friendly community center feel to it. I have also seen this type of arrangement in towns in other states, Massachusetts, Illinois, and California.
Is swimming a big winter sport in New York? I'm from California, so I'm not too familiar with how folks Back East entertain themselves this time of year.
Where I grew up the cluster of three schools (elementary, middle, and high) had the pool at the middle school. It was open to the public evenings and weekends during the school year. Plenty of lakes to swim in during the summer - but used for ice fishing in the winter!
We had a rifle range down in the basement of the school.
During hunting season we took our guns to school and put them in our lockers and after school on the ride home on the bus I would have the driver drop me off about a mile from home and would hunt my way back to my parents place!
Hell I remember my mom giving my older brother $35.00 to buy a 30-06 from one of his friends at school and carrying it home on the bus!
I sure miss those days!
LOL. Yup. I was thinking the same sort of thing when I read it.

Picasso School E Rig
Please Note: Baits and Jigheads not included.
The "hottest fishing tool on the bass market today" - the Picasso School-E-Rig is handcrafted in the USA using premium American-made components. The Picasso School E-Rig is also completely Lead-Free. The fish head is constructed from impact resistant plastic - not lead. Often referred to as an umbrella-rig, the School-E-Rig is designed to resemble a school of baitfish. It can be cast and retrieved at a steady pace or allowed to fall through suspended schools of fish. Very versatile as well, it can be rigged with a wide variety of lures, including soft plastic swimbaits, grubs, jig heads and small spinnerbaits.
Its design allows you to spread out the wire arms into various positions. Leaving the slightly longer wire in the middle and spreading the rest of the wire an equal distance apart is its most common configuration, but your imagination is the only limitation for the variety of techniques and lure presentations you can use. It can even be rigged with your favorite lures for bottom fishing, such as Texas-rigged worms, creature baits and jigs.
Picasso recommends using the iRod Genesis II 7'10" Bama Rig Special Rod when throwing the Picasso School-E-Rig, and you can always use your favorite heavy action rod as well.
Professional bass angler, Paul Elias used an umbrella-rig to run away with the win at the October 2011 Lake Guntersville FLW Tour Open. (The entire top-5 actually used umbrella-rig as well). Dan Morehead also used the umbrella-rig to win at the Kentucky Lake Everstart Championship, as did Scott Brummett at the Walmart BFL Wheeler Lake Regional.
Don't forget to check with your State's laws regarding the legal use of this product, since it is designed to fish up to five baits at a time.
Don't forget to check out the Plano Alabama Rig Stowaway Box.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Never had used a 'rig' before but was heading to a lake where it could be a factor, so I went with this one based on reviews. I just bought one. The rig WAS a factor, I put it through hell, landing over 30 fish on it up to 5 lbs, including a triple with a 4, 3 and 2. The head chipped up a little and I had to fix the wires and re close a snap, but I hung it up 7-8 times and all of those fish and it is still fishable today. Good value for your money right here.

: The pipe nipple on our bathtub faucet keeps leaking. We've tried everything- tape, pipe dope, it just will not make a good seal. the guy at the plumbing desk at the hardware store suggested just packing the area around the pipe with silicone caulking. he said that is what a plumber would do- is this correct? We've tried everything we can think of- any suggestions?
What pipe nipple are you referring to? The spout nipple, the escutcheon nipple or other? LonnythePlumber

Welcome to your morning dose of denim news, links, sales, and other irresistible tid bits of inside info! Catch up on what's happening (or totally not happening) and browse our personal picks after scanning the web this morning. Got a tip you think we should include, a sale you want to share, or a style you just saw and can't live without? Email us!
1. Rawr Denim posted an awesome, in-depth look into the significance of hand-dyed natural indigo denim, from the Indigofera plant to the labor-intensive hand-dipping process. Check out this video from the post below, of Japanese Momotaro hand-dyed indigo jeans:
Don't worry if you can't understand Japanese—you still get to watch the process.
2. Check out this showroom preview of Wrangler Denim for spring 2012—they're keeping it mostly classic with a range of blue jeans and some cute fashion pieces thrown in, like a light wash denim jumpsuit.
3. Tenue de Nîmes featured The Ladbroke Grove slim tapered jeans by Tellason in their holiday gift guide/wishlist. These limited edition jeans (less than 500 have been produced) are tapered from the crotch down and feature a handsome slim fit that bring the right notes of industrial and style-savvy to any guy's look.
4. We hate to toot our own horn, but we're going to anyway! If you didn't check out yesterday's post about the perfect hues of lipstick to rock with your denim, do so! Renee selected her five favorite lipsticks and five denim picks and we paired them for a look that can't go wrong. Bust out the makeup bag, ladies!
5. The hand-dyed indigo Chuck Taylor All Star converse shoe now comes in high-top, and they were just released a couple days ago. They're sure to sell out as quickly as the low tops did. They're available at Tenue de Nîmes.
"50 pairs of the shoes were dyed by the Manabe family from Okoyama – owners of Japanese denim label Momotaro and the Rampuya dyeing factory. The shoes, each of which is unique and hand-numbered, will be available November 26th at Tenue de Nimes." (Highsnobiety)

text: Chrysler May Sell Viper — The BrandWes Siler8/27/08 11:20amFiled to: Industry NewsDodge ViperDodge Viper SRT10DodgeViperSRT10For SaleSaleBuyoutBuyBrandChryslerBobnardelli59EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Bob Nardelli, Chrysler's Chairman and CEO, stated this morning that the company has "been approached by third parties who are interested in exploring future possibilities for Viper," according to Automotive News. Apparently, rather than just dropping Viper, Chrysler is now "exploring strategic options" for the Viper brand, meaning they're trying to figure out how much money they can get for it. It's still unclear what any potential buyer would get: as we exclusively revealed in February, the company has halted Viper development. "As the Company evaluates strategic options to maximize core operations and leverage its assets, we have agreed to listen to these parties. We will do so keeping in mind the best interests of those who have shown tremendous support for the vehicle- including employees, suppliers, dealers and a worldwide group of loyal Viper owners and enthusiasts," Nardelli continued, "Viper is an integral part of this Company's heritage. While this is a strategic review, our intent would be to offer strong operational and financial support during any potential transaction, in order to ensure a future for the Viper business and perpetuate the legacy of this great vehicle." Jalopnik Snap Judgment: Why purchase Viper? Surely the current 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 — a refresh of the 2003 model — is nearing the end of its useful life. Vehicles like the 2009 Nissan GT-R and 2009 Corvette ZR1 now offer considerably greater track performance combined with user friendliness and good road manners. All any potential buyer would receive would be a soon-to-be-outdated car, a brand with an image problem and the need to jump-start development on a replacement. If we were going to get into the supercar game, we'd start a fresh brand with a fresh product, free of the sins of the 1992 Dodge Viper RT/10 convertible its fathers. [Source: Automotive News, Sub.

Aeropress Coffee Maker
Brew Richer, Smoother Coffee
In 2006 Aerobie Inc. introduced the AeroPress which was the result of several years of applied research by inventor/engineer Alan Adler. He conducted numerous brewing experiments, measuring the brew with laboratory instruments.
The science behind great coffee
The experiments demonstrated that proper temperature, total immersion and rapid filtering were the keys to flavor excellence. He then designed and tested dozens of brewers before settling on the AEROPRESS design. The design was further validated by coffee lovers who tested prototypes in their homes. Adler has about forty U.S. patents and an equal number of foreign patents. He is President of Aerobie, Inc, Palo Alto, California and a lecturer in mechanical engineering at Stanford University. The AeroPress has since earned industry-wide acclaim for its ability to brew rich, smooth coffee.

Reaction: Bills 35, Jaguars 32
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 27 2011 9:40PM
After a tumultuous week at One Bills Drive, the Buffalo Bills finally made their fans want to shout -- and in the good way.
I couldn't care less how the second half looked. The most important part of the evening is how the first team looked, and ****SPOILER ALERT!!!**** -- they looked great.
Not average, not good. Great. Let's get to the game that was:
- A big point of emphasis was put on the offensive line throughout the week, and they actually looked competent. It is fair to note that three of Jacksonville's top pass rushers were not in the lineup as noted by Jaguars beat reporters (Aaron Kampman, Tyson Alualu and Jeremy Mincey), but watching Levitre and Bell hold their ground and give Ryan Fitzpatrick time enough to throw inflates the optimism balloon just a bit more. Kudos to Bell playing like his job was on the line. Now, to try and get him to think his job is on the line each and every week.
- Ryan Fitzpatrick looked incredible tonight. Just when you think you've seen everything from this guy, he always has that one game to remind you how good he can look once every few Sundays. In the team's first two drives, the Bills had 10 first downs. Orchestrating the first team offense to 17 points is great. Getting the football to everyone on the field is even better.
- Speaking of Fitzpatrick, the phrase 'Fear the Beard' now has a new connotation. The normally grizzly looking quarterback went with a completely shaved face and had his best showing of the preseason. Maybe 'Fear the Beard' now means Bills fans should be worried if Fitzpatrick has facial hair? Who knows... but tonight, he was the Baby Faced Killer.
- Time to toss in a negative -- they'll be short and sweet tonight. Despite a bogus pass interefence call on him down the sideline, Drayton Florence struggled bringing down the ball carrier especially at the end of the first half. He's good enough to start, but bad enough to make you realize you can do better at cornerback.
- How about the emergence of Marcus Easley this evening? Seven targets, five catches, 51 yards and a touchdown to help the Bills break the preseason anti-TD campaign by the first-team offense. He dropped his first pass, but he didn't let it affect him. Easley came back on the very next drive and roped in four passes, including the touchdown reception. I think the Bills want Easley to take the number two wide receiver spot, they're just waiting until he's ready. His performance Saturday mixed with the injury to Donald Jones may just mean Easley's chance to start is coming earlier than expected.
- Spencer Johnson continued his fantastic play over training camp, practices and the preseason. He may be a highly paid backup player, but he's worth every penny. At least I think so. What happens on cut down day may suggest otherwise. Hopefully we don't get to that point.
- Fred Jackson looked like a runner possessed on Saturday evening. He was running like he was mad at the world, cutting runs up field and taking defenders head on. It was a great night for Jackson. 33 yards total for the Bills top runner.
- Brad Smith sure is slippery as a runner with the football. He's able to escape contact and get down the field with a smooth running style. I liked the reverse call to Smith in the first half, but why show their hand with that? However, he's not good at throwing the football farther than 10 yards. But you take what you can get.
- On Jacksonville's first touchdown, David Garrard turned in a ridiculous run to give the Jaguars their first first-team offensive touchdown of the preseason. A lot of folks on Twitter said the Jaguars got away with multiple holding calls. My take? Who cares. Dwan Edwards had him stopped in the backfield and even got a shot at him. The play should have been dead right there had Edwards tackled him. He needs to make that play.
- CJ Spiller is improving on pass protection. He correctly diagnosed a blitz this week, anchored in and stood up his man as best he could. He gave Fitzpatrick just enough time to get the football out. It's a work in progress, but progress showed tonight.
- It feels really good that Kyle Williams is signed here for the long, long-term. Watching him close in on Garrard for a sack after coverage gave Jacksonville nothing is just a reminder of what to expect from him on a weekly basis. He's their best player, it's about time he was paid like it. Good for him.
- The new field, new end zones and new home jerseys look spectacular. Full marks on that front for finally getting the aesthetic features right.
- How fitting was it that on Paul Posluszny's very first play against the Bills as a member of the Jaguars, his former team went right at him with a pass to Scott Chandler? Of course, Chandler caught the ball, with Posluszny trailing two yards behind. But hey, at least he got the tackle. Yeah. I'm glad he's gone.
- I wanted 17 points, I got 17 points. Thanks, Bills.
Bills' MVP:
Ryan 'Baby Faced Killer' Fitzpatrick - 11-for-12, 165 yards, 2 touchdowns sans beard.
Bills' LVP:
Drayton Florence - Not too much to complain about tonight, but have to wrap up tackles.
Up Next:
Thursday, September 1 vs. Detroit at Ralph Wilson Stadium at 6:30 pm.
Final Thoughts:
I held them responsible for the first two games despite it only being preseason, so I won't say this is a fluke. They have the ability to have a good game every once in a while. At least hope isn't all completely gone. Thanks for that, Bills.

Not Worth The MoneyThis hairdryer is certainly lightweight, however, it is not good quality. The back of the dryer came apart easily on mine and ended up sucking the hair of my niece into the back of the dryer. I would try out a different hair dryer for the price.May 30, 2016Sedu Revolution Pro 3600i Lightweight Io...

Love/hate This Blow DryerWhen this blow dryer works, I love it. Problem is that it doesn't last. It's an expensive dryer and the expectation is that it will last more than a year. I'm very careful with the dryer and it has not been dropped or overused. Yet, despite the good care, it breaks down within a year. The first one I received died just after a year of use. It was replaced under the Sedu two year warranty without question (which was great!), however, here it is a year and a few months later and now the replacement has kicked the bucket. It runs but only are very low speed now. I'm unsure what to do about a replacement. I really like it when it works, but at $150+ you expect to get more than a year of use. Disappointed.Dec 12, 2014Sedu Revolution Pro 3600i Lightweight Io...HAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

Works Great But Made With Cheap MaterialI purchased a Sedu Revolution PRO 3600i in May 2012 and was disappointed to find that as soon as the two-year warranty expired, the blow dryer started to show signs of material deterioration. At first, it started with a short hairline fracture in the main shaft (never been dropped!) - that fracture has grown to more than 3 inches long. It has been surmised that it may be from thermal expansion and contraction, which is crazy because it's a blow dryer designed to blow hot air. More recently, the "paint" on the plastic handle and shaft has been peeling off. Why is the plastic painted when it can be cast with any color? We keep the blow dryer on fabric in a drawer where nothing hard makes contact with the grey surface.Dec 2, 2014Sedu Revolution Pro 3600i Lightweight Io...HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Ok, But Don't LastAt about a year and a half this dryer started overheating and shutting off on me. I should have sent it back then, but thought it was related to my extension cord. Removed the cord from the equation and it didn't overheat nearly as often, so I kept using it. Now at 2 1/2 years it completely stopped working on high, and there is no way I can get a clients hair dry on low. Its a nice weight and relatively quiet and did fine when it was working, but not overly powerful. I liked my X5 Turbolite better, but it got so hot it melted the plastic and I can't attach nozzle so I can't use it at work.

Wonderful For Thin, Fine HairThis dryer is wonderful, because it specifically has a switch to turn on or off the ionization feature. Any gal with thin, fine hair does not need "ions". Ionization smoothes and flattens! hair. If you have a lot of hair, bless you, cuz you can really use the ions feature. I, on the other hand, do not need my hair flattened - I need all the volume I can get! This dryer also has switches for high or low speeds, high or low heat, and a cool-shot button to boot! The very first time I sued it, I fell "in love" with this dryer. I have growing out from a short cut hair, and I am amazed how much volume I can get with just this dryer and a round brush!

Results Good, Longevity Not What I ExpectedI purchased the Sedu Revolution Pro 3600i Lightweight Ionic dryer because I have carpal tunnel syndrome and saw that it was recommended by other customers as a light dryer for people with small wrists and/or carpal tunnel like myself. That being said, I've been satisfied with it being light and the results were as promised, however, I have had it only 5 months and I'm noticing a fine crack on the dryer itself that is spreading. This dryer was not dropped, nor was it used by someone else and I am very careful with it. I think that because it is so thin and light, it can crack more easily than some of the sturdier, stronger dryers. Yes, it is under a two year warranty period--now I know why Sedu offers a two year warranty but if I were to return it to Folica, I have to purchase another dryer to use in the interim as I got rid of my old one since it was broken, and they can send me a refurbished dryer! Why would I want to spend so much money on a hair dryer to have a refurbished dryer after only five months of light use? Just like the old saying, it was just too good to be true, and I am now very disappointed that I will have to replace this product sooner than expected. I will not buy another Sedu hair dryer :(Mar 4, 2014Sedu Revolution Pro 3600i Lightweight Io...HAIR TYPEAuburn / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Great Hair Dryer....one IssueI love this hair dryer. I'm a hair stylist with tiny wrists, and I needed a dryer that would dry my clients' hair quickly while leaving it shiny and smooth. This dryer is lightweight and powerful, and the finishing product is outstanding. My wrists never hurt anymore, thank heavens. My only complaint is about the cord. It twists and coils up like crazy, regardless of my DAILY efforts to straighten it, and it becomes on issue when blow drying clients. I wish Sedu would've charged $20 extra and made a better cord. Their other dryers have a much better, twist free cord, but are not quite as lightweight. I neatly wrap my cords everyday, so it seems this problem is unavoidable, and it's a big problem for me. Other than that, this blow dryer is great and worth the money.Feb 23, 2014Sedu Revolution Pro 3600i Lightweight Io...

Expensive But Worth ItI'd been with my trusty Conair for years and never paid attention to all the whirligigs that promised shiny! silky! fuller! hair. Yeah, whatever. But I never was able to make my hair look as good as my stylist did. Sure, she's a pro, but I'm pretty handy with a circle brush and hair dryer myself. I asked her what she was doing differently. Her technique (blow down the strands of hair, not up or across) was the same as mine. But then I noticed my hair dresser was using an ionic dryer. I did some research and found out that for my fine, thin hair, it's best to have a dryer that allows you to turn off the ionic feature to get the volume. This Sedu had the best reviews, so I went for it.
What a difference! First of all, it's a LOT lighter - which is very helpful. Second of all, it not only gives my hair more volume, it also leaves it smoother and shinier - no more little hairs sticking up all over the place. The controls take a little getting used to, but no biggie. This is a great hair dryer. I'm only sorry I didn't find it sooner.
Oh, and it came with a free sample of John Frieda shampoo, conditioner and blow dry spray. I can't tell whether the shampoo and conditioner is great - certainly it's not bad. But I can say that the blow dry spray is really good. You can use it on wet or dry hair and it won't make your hair stiff, gunky or dull. Just gives a nice, natural looking lift.Jan 6, 2014Sedu Revolution Pro 3600i Lightweight Io...HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

The house that founder Bill Curtis built, the Fatback Band (or just plain Fatback as they became in 1982), has sometimes been a 6-piece and sometimes anything up to a 9-piece band. Their records for Spring and Event are classics of the 70s and '80s dance scene, packed with "party" atmosphere, undoubtedly aided by the "live" feel that the band induced by always having an audience at their recording sessions. On The Floor came out in 1982, and contains the R&B hits On The Floor (1 weeks on the chart, peaking at No 36) and She's My Shining Star (5 weeks on the chart, peaking at No 76). Now available as a mid-price release.
