(This will take place in and around a small town in the wasteland, called Hopefulll. There is a plateau nearby, and a few valleys/gullies with small streams and as a result, brush.)
Ok here we go:
In 2398 an unknown terrorist organization took control of multiple nuclear missile facilities around the world, and launched missiles at key targets in the United States, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. In the disarray that followed, nuclear missiles were launched by the allies of the countries against the allies of the other countries. The resulting war engulfed the planet, and battles were fought between military space stations put in place a decade before. The fallout from the bombs and destroyed stations set the world into a nuclear winter that lasted one hundred years. Humanity hid in bunkers that had been built for this scenario. Over a period of two hundred years, the fallout settled, the snow melted, leaving only massive glaciers to the far north and south. Humanity slowly crawled out of their bunkers and back into the world to find it had changed dramatically. The bombs and winter had turned over 80% of the land on the planet into an arid desert. The radiation had slowly changed groups of humans that had managed to survive on the surface, mutating them horribly. Building materials were brought up from the bunkers, and settlements were built. Wells were dug. Beasts of burden had also been saved, and horses became a primary source of transport. Cities sprang up in the north, what was once northern Canada became one of the few temperate zones.
Advanced technologies were not uncommon, and reports of artificially intelligent beings were common. In the desert wastes transportation was generally wheeled vehicles along the remains of the highways, or animals.
Here's my character
Name: Generaly known as the Lawman
Age: Between 25-35
Appearance:http://www.flickr.com/photos/toxicmosaic/108317357/ Has these on his back http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Spider … 80289.jpeg(more on those under Equipment)
Weapons:Two of these six shooters , the robo arms, a large knife
Equipment:A wrist computer that functions as a navigation unit and other things. Legs and back are enhanced to carry the weight of the arms. Four robotic tentacles that are merged with his nervous system. (they don't have AI like in spiderman.Their basically part of him.He keeps them hidden under his coat, curled up)
Brief history(optional): The Lawman wanders the wastelands. For an unknown reason it is his personal mission to hunt down outlaws. He is constantly perusing a man known as Traviss "Stone Cold" Satton, who some believe killed his family, others believe he killed his parents, and others believe that they are feuding brothers. All however can agree that the Lawman will always hunt Traviss, at least to some extent, Until his dying day
A lone man sat in the corner of the saloon in Hopefull. In his hands was a deck of cards. On the table sat two things. A pile of silver coins, and next to it, an empty shot glass. The man shuffled the cards, and looked at the other patrons, waiting for his next challenger. A new man walked into the bar, stood near the door blinking until his eyes adjusted to the gloom. He approached the bar, the large bald man behind it began to pour a drink. The stranger flipped a coin at the bar, and the bartender caught it examined it, and handed the stranger the shot he had poured.
The storekeeper saw all of this, and more as the stranger walked over to the man at the card table and sat down. The man shuffled his cards, and grinned widely. The stranger laid a small pile of coins on the table and the man began to deal, giving his name.The stranger gave his also. The storekeeper looked away, much more content to eye the woman who had just entered. After a moment he looked at his watch, his wife would want him home soon he thought, but he had time for one more drink. Suddenly there was a click. Everything in the saloon seemed to stop, and everyone turned to the corner. The stranger was leaning back in his chair, a single revolver held in his hand pointed at the man with the cards. "Samuel R. Johnson." The stranger said. His voice sent shivers down the spine of the storekeeper, his voice sounded as old as the desert wind itself. Before anyone could think something shoved its way out from under the stranger's coat, and lifted the man into the air. It was soon followed by four other things, which took up positions spread out behind the stranger. "L-L-L-La-" the man, whose name was apparently Samuel, began.
"You are wanted on the charge of theft, assault and rape by the town of Rivervalley. The sentence is death by hanging. A messanger will be dispatched with news of your fate."
Within moments the local sheriff stepped in, and did a quick double take at what he saw. To his credit he recovered quickly."Lawman." he said, stroking his mustache, as he examined the Mechandendrites that were attached to the mans back. "Whats the charge?"
Lawman spoke, "He is wanted for rape, theft, and assault in Rivervalley. They want him to hang, sheriff."
"My son lives in Rivervalley, he came for a visit. He might as well deliver the message, hes leaving today anyways." The sheriff turned away, towards the door. "Get a noose strung, theres going to be a hanging." He pulled out a pair of handcuffs and the Lawman dropped Samuel, and the sheriff cuffed him, and lead him outside. "You can keep those coins Lawman, and I'm sure the bartender here will be happy to provide you with some refreshments." The bartender nodded eagerly, and the Lawman sat down, shuffling the cards and lifting the shot glass with one of his mechandendrites, bringing it to his lips, and downing the whiskey.

Free agent closer Fernando Rodney now has three teams who are expressing strong interest in his services according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. Those teams are the Mariners, Orioles and Mets.
You always have to be wary whenever Sandy Alderson downplays interest in someone. It almost always seems like he's doing the exact opposite of what he says he is.
Sneaky guy…
February 3, 2014
As first reported by Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com, the Mets have signed right-hander Kyle Farnsworth to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training.
Sandy Alderson has recently said the Mets were in the market for a low-cost, veteran relief pitcher, and Farnsworth fills that need.
Farnsworth had a 4.70 ERA in 48 appearances for the Tampa Bay Rays and Pittsburgh Pirates last season.
He also has experience pitching in New York after spending 2006-2008 with the cross-town Yankees.
Rubin also notes that according to an unaffiliated source with the club, the Mets have allotted some money to finding a closer-type relief pitcher to a big league deal.
The source believes that Fernando Rodney is high on the Mets list and the team's favorite, but Kevin Gregg, Ryan Madson or Joel Hanrahan could also be in the mix.

When you accidentally go twinning with them table umbrellas...:P
Top: Olivia & Fifth / Jeans: Topshop / Shoes: Zara / Bag: Gucci (via Fashion Curator Manila) / Earrings: Mango
I mentioned in my previous post that I was on the hunt for the great pair of 'mom jeans' and I found a pretty decent substitute by way of these Topshop jeans -- these perfectly fit into my uniform choice as of late: jeans + basic top + mid heel shoes. This style mindset just makes it easier to dress up in the morning for work...which makes me think -- do I start purging my closet off of the 'trendy' pieces and just really stick to the basics? Decisions, decisions.
P.S. So happy to share with you my latest acquisition - the gorgeous Gucci Marmont, which the Fashion Curator Manila helped source for me. I've been obsessing over this bag for months and I'm so thrilled to finally have my hands on it!

text: Iowans Ask for EPA Hearing on Ethanol in Iowa December 12, 2013 10:11 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Associated Press Email By THOMAS BEAUMONT, Associated Press Iowa's governor and the state's entire congressional delegation on Thursday signed onto a letter to the Obama administration asking the Environmental Protection Agency to hold a hearing in Iowa to discuss the agency's proposal to reduce the amount of ethanol that must be blended with gasoline in 2014. Iowa is the nation's leading producer of ethanol, a fuel additive primarily made from corn that produces lower carbon emissions than gasoline. The EPA in November proposed reducing by nearly 3 billion gallons the amount of biofuels required to be blended into gasoline in 2014, prompting outcry by political leaders from both parties who claimed such a move would devastate Iowa's economy. The letter asks that the EPA hold a hearing in Iowa so residents and people from other Midwestern states can offer testimony. In a separate statement, Rep. Steve King, a Kiron Republican, said "It is critical that the EPA and the White House Rural Council hear from Iowans and other Midwesterners on the benefits and importance of the Renewable Fuel Standard." The Renewable Fuel Standard is part of 2007 legislation signed by President George W. Bush and updated under President Barack Obama that called for increasing annually the minimum amount of renewable fuels, including ethanol, in the nation's fuel supply. The EPA's November proposal marked the first time the government had called for rolling back that minimum requirement. The EPA stated in its November report that the additive had become less necessary in light of fuel-efficient engines and lower fuel demand. The recent boom in domestic oil production has also made ethanol less prized as a U.S.-produced fuel that limits dependence on foreign oil. The grain alcohol burns cleaner than gasoline but produces less energy. Branstad and pro-ethanol trade groups have said the EPA's proposal would cost Iowa tens of thousands of jobs. Iowa State University economist David Swenson has said the economic impact elected officials claim is overstated. About 2,000 people nationwide work in the ethanol industry, and Iowa, with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, risks losing comparatively few jobs, Swenson said. The EPA is taking public comment for 60 days on its recommendation. Back to news

The man who put away John Gotti, baby-sat Sammy (Bull) Gravano, raided an Al Qaeda bomb factory and helped uncover the NBA betting scandal says Tim Donaghy told the truth.
Philip Scala, the recently retired FBI supervisory special agent in charge of the Gambino squad, which uncovered Donaghy's scheme of betting on basketball games he had officiated, said he believes the disgraced referee's claims that other refs were dirty.
Scala, one of the most respected law enforcement officials in the metropolitan area and a tower of integrity in the bureau, spoke exclusively with the Daily News about his storied career.
Donaghy, one of the most infamous turncoats he handled, came under withering criticism from the NBA for his allegations that other referees fixed the outcome of games.
"He was as emotional and remorseful as I've ever seen a cooperator," Scala said, just days after Donaghy was sentenced to 15 months in jail. "In the course of my relationship with him, I had the insight that he was intent on repaying his debt to society, restoring his family's faith in him and trying to make something better out of his life."
Donaghy and his lawyer went to the government last year as soon as he learned the feds were on to him. He was subjected to grueling debriefings, then the feds set out to corroborate his claims by interviewing scores of people, including other referees.
But when prosecutors wrote a letter to the federal judge outlining Donaghy's cooperation, defense lawyer John Lauro was outraged that the information about other NBA referees and officials had been omitted simply because no criminal charges were brought.
"Donaghy, for some reason, looked up to me," Scala said. "He came to me one day and said, 'It means a lot to me if you could answer this question: Do you believe that I've told the truth?' I told him, 'I believe you.'
"I wanted to know why he was asking, and he said, 'I'd appreciate it if you'd call my dad' - and I did that for him," Scala said.
Donaghy's father, Jerry, a retired college basketball referee, also wanted to know if the FBI agent believed his son was telling the truth about everything.
Scala said he was not merely offering his opinion of the disgraced referee, rather it was his informed assessment of his credibility after his unit - officially known as C-16 - conducted an exhaustive investigation.
"Donaghy told us the truth. Sammy Gravano told the truth; Mikey Scars (Gambino capo Michael DiLeonardo) told the truth," Scala said referring to some of his infamous Mafia rats. "That doesn't mean everything they said ends up in an indictment."
Scala, 58, fit, dapper and sporting a salt-and-pepper beard and mustache, has put together a consulting firm called Pathfinder that is collecting information about corruption in professional sports.
He brings to the table nearly three decades of investigative experience spanning Gotti's assassination of Gambino boss Paul Castellano, the 1993 raid on an Al Qaeda bomb factory in Queens that earned him a citation for bravery and the takedown of 62 gangsters last February on racketeering charges.
Scala, the son of a baker, grew up in Ozone Park, where his parents instilled the core values of hard work, sacrifice and earning an honest dollar.
He attended Archbishop Molloy High School and later earned a master's degree in psychology from New York University and another in business from St. John's.
His e-mail address includes the word "tough," but the soft-spoken Scala is a devout Catholic who attends Mass daily and opines on Aristotle's perspective on a life in balance: "Stupidity and cowardice are the extremes; the center is virtue and heroic bravery."
"My belief is there's good in everyone," he said. "But I have been in contact with some people who became evil incarnate."
Scala won't name the two or three folks in that hellish category, in part because one remains on the street. He remains tight-lipped on many subjects because he still retains "top secret" clearance from the government for consulting work.
There will be some good war stories in a book he's working on, though.
Here's one: After Gravano stunned the underworld by defecting, Scala was assigned to guard the prize witness in a hotel room on Governors Island.
"We were watching TV and there was a piece on the nightly news about Jeffrey Dahmer," Scala recalled. "Sammy said, 'Look at this sick bastard,' and an agent said to him: 'Sammy, you killed 19 people.'"
The glib Gravano got the last word: "You can't compare me to Dahmer; what I did was business."
The December 1985 night Castellano was gunned down in front of Sparks restaurant in midtown, Scala raced from his home in Queens to the scene where the powerful mobster lay dead in the gutter.
The renegade killing of a boss without the permission of the leaders of the four other mob families was a "watershed" event, Scala said.
Gravano solved the Castellano murder case against Gotti, and opened the floodgates for powerful turncoats as never before.
Like Donaghy, DiLeonardo, a former capo and close friend of John A. (Junior) Gotti who has started a new life in the witness protection program, also left an impression on Scala.
"I have respect for him now; not for him in his dark days," Scala said of DiLeonardo. "Redemption is possible, but some people need to spend the rest of their days in jail."

Me and store bought patterns have some serious issues. The pattern maker's measurements are usually wonky, so I usually end up buying a pattern for a basic design, then measuring it and re-drafting it and making my own variation.
If that makes any sense.

The lunatic left sent an array of forces to St. Paul to disrupt and destroy the Republican National Convention earlier this month. They meant to do serious harm through violent means that appear to have been closely modeled on 1969's SDS-sponsored Days of Rage riots in Chicago. Law enforcement authorities did an admirable job of preventing the scheme from working. Media interest in what the left had planned for St. Paul has been scarce, both before and after the convention.
Having come under attack for their actions during the convention, law enforcement authorities have begun to talk back. Last week Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher held a press conference to defend the work of his office in preventing what he described as the intended destruction of St. Paul on the first day of the convention. St. Paul police officer Paul Iovino provides a ground-level perspective on the work of authorities during the convention.
Star Tribune metro columnist Katherine Kersten reports the concerted efforts of the Coalition to March on the RNC and Stop the War together with those those who sought to destroy the convention through violent means. Kersten shows that the Coalition worked hand in glove as a front group for the leftist thugs.
Take a look at the groups and individuals affiliated with the Coalition to March on the RNC. It's a long list that among others includes Cindy Sheehan, several SDS chapters and anti-Israel groups. The list sheds some light on the sources of support for the efforts described in Kersten's column:
Anti-War Committee; AFSCME Local 3800; SDS – Univ. of Minnesota; Twin Cities Peace Campaign – Focus on Iraq (MN); Welfare Rights Committee (MN); Women Against Military Madness (MN); Action Center for Justice (NC); Action LA Coalition; Al Awda Right to Return Coalition – Chicago Chapter; Al Awda Right to Return Coalition – Omaha Chapter; Alliance for Global Justice; AlliantAction (MN); American Indian Movement Grand Governing Council; ANSWER Coalition; Arlington (MA) United for Justice with Peace and the Lexington (MA) Peace and Justice Committee; BAYAN USA Bolivarian Circle – Cincinnati; Call 'Em Out Coalition (Detroit); Campus Antiwar Network; Centro CSO (Los Angeles); Chicago Coalition Against War and Racism; Chicago Progressive Alliance; Coalition for Palestinian Rights (MN); Coalition to Protect Public Housing (Chicago); CODEPINK; Colombia Action Network; Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES); Communist Party-USA (MN); Communities United Against Police Brutality (MN); Dekalb Interfaith Network for Peace and Justice; Democratic Socialists of America, Twin Cities; Evanston Neighbors for Peace (IL); Fight Imperialism Stand Together (FIST); FIST (Raleigh, NC); FMLN of Minnesota; Freedom Road Socialist Organization; General Federation of Workers Councils and Unions of Iraq; George W.

Lynne Stewart appears at the end of the list, just before the absurd Cornel West. She is of course the former attorney for the blind sheikh who was the spiritual mentor of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. Stewart has herself been convicted of providing material support for terrorists in the course of her representation of the blind sheikh. She embodies what David Horowitz calls "the unholy alliance" between Islamists and the radical left that — as I argued in the brief account of my encounter with Stewart — is united only by its hatred of the United States.

Performance/Floating point
From HaskellWiki
| Haskell Performance Resource
1 Don't use Float
The speed claims may not be true due to Doubles not necessarily being aligned as the machine wishes. We could do with some benchmarking on various platforms to see what's what.
2 GHC-specific advice
On x86 (and other platforms with GHC prior to version 6.4.2), use the -fexcess-precision flag to improve performance of floating-point intensive code (up to 2x speedups have been seen). This will keep more intermediates in registers instead of memory, at the expense of occasional differences in results due to unpredictable rounding. See the GHC documentation for more details. Switching on GCCs -ffast-math and -O3 can also help (use -optc-ffast-math and -optc-O3).
Where available, the -optc-march=pentium4 -optc-mfpmath=sse flags may also help.
Note that the -fexcess-precision flag may make programs behave oddly,e.g. after falling an

JRi Electronic ShocksPosted in Product Reviews on February 28, 2014
Modern off-road shocks allow us to effectively tackle rough terrain with speed and stability. The advent of gas-charging, reservoirs, bypass tubes, cooling, and anti-cavitation methods keeps shocks from fading, while allowing for progressive damping action. Additionally, some shocks provide an external means by which the compression and rebound settings can be manually adjusted.
JRi Shocks has recently introduced their new electronically controlled adjustable shock system, which they've named "JRide." Their system allows a vehicle user to remotely adjust the valve settings on the shocks by four different means: a smartphone, a dash-mounted full-color display, a keypad, and a hand control behind the steering wheel.
The JRide's electronically adjustable shocks allow you to adjust compression and rebound damping on-the-fly. Preset shock settings can be chosen. These can be either factory presets or customs settings you've created for the terrain you're currently in. Changes are typically set in about 0.1 seconds. Fine tuning of the compression and rebound can also be done independently. Settings can be programmed separately for front and rear ends, or each corner can be tuned on its own.
The OR/10 off-road shock is an internal bypass shock that uses an outer radial fluid flow path to bypass the piston to make on-the-fly adjustments. As expected of high-quality race shocks, the OR/10 shocks are fully rebuildable and use low-friction seals to reduce piston stiction in use. The JRi shocks use a proportional valve that receives an electrical current as its means to adjust. Should the electrical portion fail (or loss of power), the shock will default to a soft setting but will still provide full damping capabilities. The shock will not go dead if electrical power is lost. Also, the electronic valves are interchangeable with a passive adjuster.
Optionally, the shocks can be configured as speed/position sensitive using an LVDT sensor to monitor and allow adjustment of damping based on shock velocity or shaft displacement. The amount of position- or velocity-dependent adjustments is nearly infinite with this upgrade, compared to the three or four fixed-position adjustments you get with a traditional off-road position-sensitive bypass shock. Available shaft stroke lengths range from 10 to 22 inches.
Since the system allows you to have multiple stored shock settings, this means you have the ability to quickly change the settings from the driver compartment as you move across the dirt. Running smooth sand, you might want a relatively soft setting. Then, if you hit a set of deep whoops, you might want to swap the valve settings to something firmer to keep from bottoming so easily.
There was a time when vehicle electronics were looked upon with some hesitation from off-roaders. A major concern was failure out in the backcountry. However, modern vehicle electronics have made huge strides in reliability in the last several decades. Today, racers from NASCAR to Dakar rely heavily on performance electronics to control ignition and fuel management duties in extremes from sub-zero tundra to scorching desert climates.
Granted, the reliability JRi has built into their product may take some time to prove its merits. However, the capability to make compression and rebound adjustments on the move could prove to be a huge advantage to racers and enthusiasts looking for dynamic shock tuning in terrain. It's an exciting new field in shock technology.

A have-a-go-hero who forced a robber to run away after the offender had tried to steal a woman's mobile phone has been rewarded with £1,000.
Derby Crown Court heard how Scott Riddell, 31, of Nottingham Road, Alfreton, grabbed his 26-year-old victim as she was walking along Church Street, in Ripley, but he was stopped from stealing her phone by a brave man.
Police said the man, named by the court as Matthew Claridge, had intervened and Riddell ran away.
The court praised Mr Claridge and awarded him £1,000 for showing exceptional courage.
Mr Claridge intervened when he had no idea whether the offender was armed or not, according to the court, and he continued to intervene until the police arrived.
The court stated Mr Claridge is to be commended for his "braveness and outstanding public spiritedness".
Riddell pleaded guilty to the attempted robbery which happened about 10.15pm, on Friday, April 4.
He also pleaded guilty to using violence to secure an entry at a house on Padley Close, Ripley, during the same day.
Derbyshire Constabulary originally reported in witness appeals at the time that a 26-year-old woman had been walking along Church Street in the town centre about 10.15pm, on Friday, April 4, when a man grabbed her and attempted to steal her mobile phone.
Police told how a member of the public had intervened and the offender ran away.
At around 11pm on the same day, police said in the same report that a man had knocked on the door of a house on Padley Close and as the occupant opened the door the man tried to force his way in.
Riddell was given a 90 month custodial sentence on Thursday, May 15.
He was also ordered to pay a £120 victim surcharge.
Those with information about crimes can call police on 101 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.

"A watched pot never boils," or so they say. I can testify to
"A watched pot never boils," or so they say. I can testify to
that old adage, but in a different context.
The pot that I watched was a large, wood-framed box engulfing a mound of gravel. Several days a week, I would follow the same routine: Park the car, walk to the wooden box, peek inside and say to myself, "Nothing boiling today. When's it going to happen?"
After 107 days of presumptuous pot-peeking, it finally came to a boil, and did it ever! Percolating from the gravel were dozens of tiny, newly hatched snapping turtles.
Back in early June, Skytop resident Anne Grill observed an enormous snapping turtle wander across Dutch Hill Road from Skytop Lake. The colossal reptile ventured onto the Skytop Adventure Center parking lot and headed toward a large pile of gravel. The desperate mother turtle surprised Anne when it decided to use the mound of red pebbles as a safe place to lay her eggs.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Snapper's depository was not the most suitable location, as the gravel pile was to be used for lot maintenance. Second, the gravel pile was along the edge of a busy parking lot. Anne quickly notified Skytop Chief of Security Pete Warner of her find, who subsequently brought it to my attention.
The following day, Pete and I came to see for ourselves what Anne had witnessed. After some delicate dusting of gravel across the mound, I finally unveiled a clutch of freshly laid snapper eggs — 37 ping-pong balls to be exact.
"So what should we do? asked Pete. "The gravel will be used and the nest undoubtedly will be destroyed."
I agreed: "If we leave it be, predators might dig up the nest and consume the eggs. So let's place a box over the nest for protection. This way we can check on the progress."
I carefully covered up the eggs and shared our dilemma with the Skytop carpenters, Allen Shiffler and Gerry Youngken. (It was reassuring to have carpenter/nature enthusiasts on our team.) I provided some dimensions, and soon they constructed a wooden enclosure with a screened top.
Pete and I positioned the box over the clutch of eggs and placed large orange cones near the mound to prevent automobiles from parking near it. Pete and I had new work assignments: We had to "watch the pot" until the baby turtles hatched.
Finally, I found baby snapping turtles barely the size of a quarter. I notified Anne and Pete that we were foster parents.
I just didn't have the heart to let nature take its course and allow the little turtles to venture to Skytop Lake. They would have had to cross a busy parking lot and Dutch Hill Road, so why not offer a helping hand?
One by one, I collected each little turtle as it emerged from the gravel and carefully placed it in a plastic aquarium.
Their dark upper shells, called a carapace, felt almost rubbery, but their claws and legs were rigid. Their tails were very long in proportion to their bodies.
I gingerly brushed loose gravel from the rest of the nest and saw tiny turtle heads popping out of shells. It was truly amazing to know that these tiny, delicate and docile newborn snapping turtles will develop into 35-pound armored tanks equipped with formidable jaws.
The timing of the turtle rescue was just right as the Poconos experienced torrential rains the next day. We waited until the aftermath of the storm before the turtles were set free.
With the assistance of Anne, Pete and Don Jacobs from WNEP-TV's "Pennsylvania Outdoor Life," we admired our collection of carapaces and walked across the busy parking lot and Dutch Hill Road toward Skytop Lake.
It wasn't that long of a journey for the turtle Samaritans, but quite a challenge for the quarter-size snappers. We said our good-byes and released our little friends. They quickly crawled toward the shore and into Skytop Lake.
I assumed they would have nose-dived into the pearly depths, but instead they floated like charcoal corks and drifted back to the shoreline. Their instinctive actions were smarter than we realized as a tiny turtle is quite vulnerable to predators in clear, open water, so their strategy was to bunker down within aquatic vegetation along the shoreline.
I learned something new about turtles that day, as well as in the 107 days proceeding it. Life is a miracle in itself, and to see 37 miracles unfold before my eyes, and then to offer a helping hand, will remain in my mind and heart forever.
Note: The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission regulates seasons and possession limits on reptiles and amphibians. It is unlawful to collect the eggs of any reptile native to the Commonwealth.

Kid yourself into falling for the convenient local narrative, if you wish, that the Bears lost 38-17 Sunday at Soldier Field because Jay Cutler cannot beat the Packers.
You even can use statistics to impress your friends: Cutler fell to 1-9 against the Packers after throwing two more costly interceptions. You can repeat ad nauseam the biggest reason for another loss to the Bears' rival was "same, old Jay'' making decisions Cutler regretted.
And you would be missing the point.
Oh, Cutler needs to play at a higher level. He acknowledged as much when explaining each mistake like a professional. But the blame Cutler will receive around Chicago for the Bears being...

Nevertheless, I took my first camera film in at least a decade to the developing shop to be developed this weekend. It had taken me all summer to finish the film. Convinced that I would be embarrassingly handed a packet of blank photographs, I was surprised to see that they all came out, and not just that, but split themselves merrily into two distinct camps: the light summer, and the dark.
The lights are all luminescent and bright, while the darks are underexposed and brooding. It sums up the summer we've had quite well: there has been some lovely hot light, but plenty cold dark.

A month ago I got notice that my abstract had been accepted, and that I would be demoing Names on Nodes at the iEvoBio conference's Software Bazaar on June 29. This is the first time Names on Nodes has ever truly had a hard deadline. Since it's a personal project, until now I have had the luxury of languidly rebuilding and polishing and rebuilding and polishing. But now I have to get something up. So it's up.
There's still a lot left to do, but this will have to do for now. You can load NexML and Newick files (not NEXUS for now, sorry—although, really, you should be sorry for still using it when NexML is available). You can save as MathML and export PNG image files. You can create phylogenies and phylogenetic definitions on the fly using a visual interface that emphasizes drag-and-drop. Or you can type them in (as Newick and MathML, respectively), should you prefer that.
There are still a lot of bugs, and a lot of unimplemented features. If you come across issues or if you have feature requests, please feel free to submit an issue. And if you want to look at the code, it's open source (MIT license) and available on BitBucket.

I kept a bit of a distance from dealing with wrestling and wrestlers directly for a good long while after I stopped working actively in the business. I was disgusted with the unprofessionally run shows and the sad displays of wrestling from many of the guys who professed to be "professionals," yet had very little, if any, truly professional training and who's experience in the ring was mostly from working low-rent shows for low-rent promoters who generally paid very little and had no idea how to present a professional wrestling show.
Worse, many of these weekend warriors had been trained by guys whose main claim to fame and degree of qualification to instruct was that they may have had some direct or indirect contact with the wrestling business or someone in it at some point. Many were nothing more than marks before pronouncing themselves to be qualified to train wrestlers or promote shows. Many of these ventures were about the vanity of the trainer or promoter. What they typically passed on to those willing to pay them for training or work for them for little or nothing should be considered criminal.
Lots of guys like me, who worked in truly professional situations, tend to scoff at the efforts of these wannabes and anyone who might associate with them. I totally relate to those feelings and have had them myself. I have no desire to deal with idiocy and unprofessional-ism within a profession I spent a lot of time trying to represent in a way I could be proud of. While I know there are some qualified and dedicated professionals still involved in training and running shows, they are few and far between it seems.
For many of us oldtimers, it's easy to become jaded and disinterested in anything related to wrestling once you have seen the poor representation of it that is so common these days in independent promotions. I know that, first-hand. It's understandable that so many old pros have just decided to simply stay away and leave things to those who have made such a mess of something we were all once so proud to have been a part of.
But, in the last few months, I have found myself becoming involved with a couple of small promotions and have seen that somehow, some way, the desire and passion to display the traditional values that made this old guy love the business to begin with is still alive within many of the youngsters trying to make a name for themselves in the business. I have discovered within many of these young wrestlers a willingness and eagerness to hear and attempt to learn the basic formulas and skills of the wrestling profession that I know to be time-honored and true.
The problem, as I see it, is that you have to find promoters who will allow someone with this knowledge and experience to do what he feels is right without interfering or insisting on being a part of the creative process. I've seen even well-intended promoters get in the way of their own promotions because they wanted to be involved in the action or believed they knew the right things to do because they had seen it on TV or felt they understood the intricacies of creating an intriguing wrestling product even when they had no practical experience and no real understanding of how that process really works or should work. They tend to want to be mini-Vince McMahons without realizing they will fail in comparison to the massive production and presentation capabilities of the WWE. What they don't typically realize is, to have a chance to create even modest success, you have to be something different or else you are nothing more than a cheap imitation.
There are fans who crave a logical and believable product and presentation. It takes some patience, consistency and professional guidance to connect with and build that kind of fan base. It also takes cooperation from promoters who are willing to listen to experienced professional advice and talent who are hungering for that sort of guidance.
I know there are a lot of us oldtimers who look down on local shows and lament the fact that many good intentioned efforts are seen by small crowds and most are rewarded with small payoffs. I totally understand those feelings and in most cases, I agree with the sentiments.
But, the facts are that there are many young wrestlers out there who have no other options than to work in front of small crowds for little pay in order to have any chance to gain experience or become noticed by someone who might be able to give them an opportunity to advance. Guys like myself have to recognize this fact of life and understand that unless we are willing to become involved to some degree and give these guys some professional guidance, they will be lucky to ever get that kind of help consistently enough to really be of consequence to them.
Personally, I have decided that I have an obligation to try in some small way to connect to these young wrestlers and do what I can to help them learn as best I can. They will not be afforded the opportunity to work regularly with more experienced wrestlers and will have to deal with working for some unprofessional promoters and with some poor excuses for professional wrestlers as well as doing so in front of smallish crowds. But, this is what we have to deal with these days. If any of these guys and gals are going to find any degree of truly professional instruction, some of us who have turned our backs on the business as it is, have to be willing to deal with somewhat less than desirable conditions in order to be there for them.
The truth of things is those are difficult situations to attain in this day and time for an independent wrestling promotion. What you have to do in order to pass on your knowledge and experience is be willing to understand these situations and work within the way things are, insisting on whatever you are involved in is be as professionally presented as possible.
I have no desire to promote wrestling shows, myself. I know how time consuming and difficult it can be to draw even decent crowds these days. But, so long as those I am dealing with show me respect, give me the latitude to run the matches the way I know how and leave the creative process alone without interfering, I am going to continue to try to give back to these guys and gals who are working hard and willing to listen and follow the guidance I can provide.
I have been pleasantly surprised at the degree of respect and honest desire to learn from almost all those young wrestlers I have come in contact with in recent months. The fact they have been instilled with the willingness to develop the skills and understanding of the psychological aspects of the wrestling business that were common during the days I worked regularly in the business has encouraged me.
It has also convinced me that the traditions I was proud to represent are still alive in them. We just have to be willing to enhance those values and develop them.
We can't do that by turning our backs on those who are still willing to carry them on.

MACON, Ga. – A quartet of Lipscomb baseball players have garnered 2014 postseason honors announced by the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Sophomore pitcher Denton Norman was named to the A-Sun All-Academic Team, while junior shortstop Grant Massey and junior pitcher Ian Martinez-McGraw picked up 2nd-team All-Atlantic Sun laurels. Redshirt-freshman catcher Tyler Bethune rounded out the honorees being named to the 2014 Atlantic Sun All-Freshman team.
The Sunday starter for all of 2014 and the reigning A-Sun Pitcher of the Week, Norman posted a 7-5 record including a 5-3 mark in A-Sun play for the Bisons this season. The Katy, Texas native leads the team starters in league play with a 2.87 ERA in nine starts on the hill. In the classroom, Norman boasts a 3.42 GPA in pre-med /Biology.
Massey has been a leader for the Bisons this season at the plate and in the field. The Auburn, Alabama native leads the team in batting average (.310), runs scored (44), doubles (17), total bases (99) and on-base percentage (.418). Massey has also been a big part of the Bisons turning 56 double plays this year, a figure that ranks sixth best in the nation.
Posting a 7-1 mark in conference play including the only win over FGCU in the first game of a series this season, Martinez-McGraw leads the team with an 8-3 mark that ties the school record for most wins in a season. The knuckleballer has made 14 starts on the season tossing a team-high 95.1 innings and notching a 4.06 ERA.
Hitting .306 in conference play Bethune is the first Bison freshman to make the All-Freshman team since Lee Wilson was named to the squad in 2010. The backstop has started 28 games behind the dish for the Bisons hitting .268 overall. The Lawrenceville, Georgia native has gunned down 10 would-be base stealers this season and allowed just one passed ball.
The Bisons open play in the 2014 Atlantic Sun Conference Baseball Championship in Ft. Myers, Florida on Wednesday night at 7:15 p.m. against Jacksonville.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her very open speech and for sharing with us the values and experiences that led her to take the position that she has.
As members said earlier in the debate, this will not be the first time that the House of Commons has passed a similar bill. Unfortunately, these bills keep getting blocked by the Senate.
What steps will my colleague take to convince as many of her colleagues as possible and the Conservatives in the Senate to vote in favour of this bill?

The Beige Book came our yesterday and revealed some interesting findings. It summary states, "Many Districts, including New York, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San Francisco, indicated that commercial real estate activity had increased and that conditions continued to improve since the previous report.'
Over the next four years, U.S commercial real estate is going to be a top performing asset. It will overtake equities in out-sized gains late this year or early next year. There is little that can be found today that will not appreciate significantly over the next four years as hard assets are sought over intangibles.

I've had broken bones
And kidney stones;
Had migraines wrack my brain
I've been cut; I've been burned,
And eventually learned
That it doesn't help much to complain.
I've got scars I can trace
Where a dog bit my face
(Well, there's really no good place to bite us)
Ah, but son of a bitch,
I just can't stand the itch
Of this damned contact dermatitis!
In the "true tales from the life of Cuttlefish" files, I am going nuts! My hands are shaking with the effort of not scratching (which effort fails miserably), and I can think of nothing but the itching. I want to take a belt sander to my torso, and I think amputating my arms at the shoulder is worth considering. Yes, I've called the doctor.
Oh, and all the stuff in the verse is true. The dog was a german shepherd, and it was going for my throat while its owner pulled it back, so it only bit my face. Sitting here, itching, that seems like the good old days.

"If you're a more experience member of this forum, who would still like to hear the "definitive" Theravāda perspective on certain matters, I recommend starting a topic in the Classical Theravāda section."
Id put more emphasise on the quotation marks over the definitive, because Classical Theravada includes commentary, sub commentary and sub-sub commentary and any other commentary which often contradict eachother... Therefore i guess the quotations marks were probably meant to signify irony.

As I mentioned in those threads about forum governance, people come and go for a variety of reasons. There are lots of in-person real life issues people need to take care of (family, work, school, etc) from time to time. I don't want to speak for him, but can assure you it is merely real-life priorities, nothing against DW.

Each forum has it's own specific focus. DWE is "Engaged Buddhism forum, a nonsectarian community discussing the application of the Dharma to social and environmental issues."
@ LuisR « Fri 1:54 am »
Why is better suited for that forum?
@ DNS « Fri 1:50 am »
Those topics are better suited for: https://dharmawheel.org/
@ LuisR « Fri 12:21 am »
I didnt realize it was worng for buddhist to speak out against racism
@ LuisR « Fri 12:16 am »
Wow I am so disapointed
@ salayatananirodha « Thu 4:27 am »
It is, and it seems more likely one would receive sustaining, beneficial support and sympathy from fellow buddhists. Professionals are fine too, it doesn't speak very faithfully of the forum that one couldn't be open about something so serious

Hemangiomas, which are benign developmental vascular tumours, have an initial proliferative and a later involutional phase. Most of them undergo complete or partial resolution. When resolution has ceased, the affected area may be perfectly normal, but more commonly it shows subtle atrophy and telangiectasia. At certain sites, particularly the lips and the eyelids, residual sacs of redundant skin vessels are common.

God is not "the Great Architect," and he doesn't deal in blueprints and building committees, but did you know God told us how to build a church?
It's in the Bible. If we believe the sacred Scriptures are the inspired word of God, then we have to take seriously the passages in the Old Testament where God gives directions for building; first the tabernacle — that portable worship tent the Hebrews used during their wilderness wanderings, and then the temple in Jerusalem.
God gives Moses instructions for building the tabernacle in the Book of Exodus. The materials, dimensions and furnishings for the Hebrews' portable worship tent are all prescribed.
Five hundred years later God instructed David's son, King Solomon, to build the great temple in Jerusalem. Although Solomon's temple was much more splendid than the simple tabernacle of Moses, it still followed the same divinely inspired pattern.
In the New Testament, the Book of Hebrews says about the Jewish priests in the temple: "They worship in a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary." This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain" (Heb 8:5).
It's simple: Moses was given a glimpse of heaven when he was on Mount Sinai, and the tabernacle was an earthly reflection of what he'd seen. The tabernacle and the temple were built according to a particular pattern, and this pattern was important because it gave the worshippers a glimpse of the heavenly reality. To enter into the tabernacle or Solomon's temple was to step across the threshold to an in-between world — a sacred space that was a doorway to heaven itself.
One of the exciting aspects of a visit to Disneyland or Universal Studios is to step from one fantasy land to another. Here you can visit Harry Potter's Hogwarts, there you can see Cinderella's castle. Here you can troop through the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse, there you can be swept up into a Jurassic Park Adventure. The different worlds are created out of plaster, plastic and paint to give you an exciting but artificial experience of fun and fantasy.
Is that what we are supposed to do when thinking about sacred architecture? Are we supposed to read the Old Testament and re-create Moses' tabernacle or Solomon's temple? Are we supposed to build Bible Fantasy Land? Of course not. A good Catholic Church is not a theme park reproduction of Solomon's temple.
However, there are some principles established in the Book of Exodus that Catholic architects have always followed. The key word here is "pattern." There was an underlying pattern that both the tabernacle and temple followed, and it is this pattern that provides the basic structure for Christian churches. The tabernacle not only gives us the pattern for a Catholic Church, but reminds us what a Catholic Church is for.
The first question to ask is, "What is a church for?" In the Bible, the sacred space is a temple not an auditorium. An auditorium is a large space for people to gather to hear a speech or see a performance. A temple, on the other hand, is the dwelling place for God.
At the center of the Jewish tabernacle was the Holy of Holies. This was a cube shape that housed the Ark of the Covenant — that's right, the artifact in the Indiana Jones film. The Ark of the Covenant was a gold-covered wooden box that held the tablet of the Ten Commandments, a jar of manna and the priest Aaron's rod. It had a gold-covered lid and was flanked by two angels with wings outspread. This golden box was called "the mercy seat" and was understood to be reflective of the throne of God.
Therefore the tabernacle, and later the temple in Jerusalem, were first and foremost the house of God. Since the Second Vatican Council, many Catholic architects have turned away from these historic and scriptural realities to build churches that are not primarily the house of God, but the meeting place for God's people. A church design that focuses on the gathering of the people of God instead of the presence of God may be useful, but it contradicts the great tradition and the instructions of God himself as to what a temple must be.
Did you know it is traditional to have three steps up from the nave of the church to the sanctuary, and from the sanctuary up to the altar? Why three steps and not two or four — or more?
Three steps echo the threefold structure of the tabernacle and temple, and lay down God's basic pattern for a church. The tabernacle and temple consisted of three sections — each growing in importance and significance. The first part was the outer court. This is where the people gathered and where the sacrifice was made. The second part was the Holy Place where only priests could go. This is where the table with the sacred bread was placed. The sacred candlestick — the menorah — was there as well as the altar of incense. At the back of the Holy Place was the Holy of Holies with the Ark of the Covenant.
From time immemorial, this threefold pattern was replicated in Catholic Churches. Without slavishly copying the tabernacle or temple, and in a multitude of different styles and manners, the simple threefold pattern of architecture was followed.
The three sections of the church were arranged in a linear progression and with steps going up from one stage to the next to indicate the progressive nature of our relationship to God. We are on a journey to go further up and further into the presence of God.
When a church is built in a round or fan shape, and the tabernacle shunted off to a side chapel, all this sacred tradition and the pattern for a church given by God is lost.
The main problem is not that modern church builders have built monstrous Catholic churches, but that they seem to have done so without any real knowledge of the great tradition. They have simply started building a church as they might build any other practical building, thinking a church is simply a fancy auditorium; and as long as they fit in enough seats and have a good sound system and working toilets everything will be fine.
Instead we need to dig deep into our traditions and build new churches that are not only effective meeting places for the people of God, but also beautiful temples to house the presence of God himself.
Father Dwight Longenecker is the pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, South Carolina.

12 Must-Have MAC Blushes for Glowy Cheeks
12 Must-Have MAC Blushes
About the Temptalia Must-Haves Series
A series of posts showcasing must-have products from MAC Cosmetics' permanent line of products. Selections are based on quality, universality, uniqueness amongst the line, and the like. Limited edition shades are deliberately excluded to make buying easier. Readers' comments act as a supplement to these lists of their favorites and must-haves. You can find the entire series here.
Powder Blushes
- Well Dressed blush is a confection of cool, baby pink with a satiny smooth texture. I love to wear this shade (even with my warmer coloring) with cooler toned looks, especially with cool purples or smoky eyes.
- Dollymix blush is a bolder, brighter dirty pink with a light shimmer. This is one of those blushes that makes the cheeks really stand out and become a focal point.
- Margin blush is a dirty peach with a little bit of berriness to it. It's an incredibly flattering color on a variety of skintones, and it is, by far, one of my favorite everyday blushes.
- Plum Foolery is a dirty plum-berry shade with slight shimmer. The pigmentation is amazing, and the color is incredibly versatile.

10. The presidential mom jeans.
9. Adam Lambert's American Music Award performance was, in and of itself, not an epic fail. Yes, it was tragically bad, with male-on-male sexy time and doofy outfits and crappy singing. The epic fail in this overtly sexualized messy mess of hairspray and gel was the fact that the guy doing all of this is named Adam Lambert. Really? Really Adam Lambert? I refuse to believe that the gay world allowed this. In the gay world you can be anything you want; you can wear leather pants and eyeliner and black nail polish. Don't get me wrong. I understand that gay folks shouldn't have to be burdened by the stereotypical stuff (a la George Michael). But if you come out on stage and work the props, the people and yourself up into a big pansexual frenzy, then you've set yourself up for a little constructive critiquing: If you're going to go out like Madonna, then be Madonna. Give yourself one of those cool one-word names, like "Leblasia." Adam Lambert sounds so pedestrian—like a plumber or a sandwich artist at Subway. When someone named Adam Lambert says things like, "I'm about to turn up the heat," it makes me think that ole Adam is going to throw another log in the fire. We get it Adam Lambert: You're gay. Now go ahead and be all the way gay. (And while you're at it, get some better music.)
8. Now, I have heard many stories about Michael Jordan's alleged schmuckery: How, in 1999, he filmed PSAs promoting organ donation—and then the Chicago Tribune discovered that he'd refused to register as a donor himself. Or when he decided he wouldn't endorse the Democrat running against self-proclaimed "redneck" Jesse Helms "because Republicans buy sneakers, too." I'm clear that Michael Jordan, the player, was easily the greatest to ever lace them up, and that Michael Jordan, the man, can be an epic ass. But his Hall of Fame speech wasn't one of those times. Through tears, he talked about how he wanted to be better than everyone. He praised his sister for pushing him to succeed. He called out Chicago Bulls' ex-owner Jerry Krause for trying to steal his shine claiming that the organization won championships. Players win championships, he said: "I don't remember the organization playing in Utah with the flu." In the speech that I saw, Jordan came off as a man conflicted about his success and uncomfortable with public speaking. I also saw a man who was comfortable embracing his greatness. I can't hate him for that. The epic fail here is with the media folks who took his jokes out of context and painted his speech as a vindictive plea delivered by a fallen star. They failed to recognize the complexities of his acceptance speech. Whenever a black sports superstar like Jordan or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is confident about their level of greatness, the mainstream (read: mainly white) media seems to have a problem with that.
7. Jon Gosselin, of Jon and Kate Plus 8, is what I like to call the "roasted epic fail." That is the best thing about fake reality TV: We get to watch you crumble in slow motion. In a year, he went from a sad sack on a couch, an almost sympathetic figure, to a cheating louse with bad hair plugs and bacne. Right before our eyes, he slowly evolved from doting dad to this early-mid-life-crisis-having, Ed Hardy tight T-shirt wearing, dating-while-married guy who says things like, "I can chill in my apartment in New York"… while his eight kids are only a few hours away. As if that wasn't bad enough, the blogosphere is rife with rumors that there might be a … wait for it … sex tape.
6. Clearly, Kanye West's tight leather shirt cut off the oxygen to his brain the night of the MTV Video Music Awards. Mix that with him fisting a fifth of Hennessy and his obvious man crush on Jigga, and you have the hot mess that walked on stage to rudely interrupt angel-faced Taylor Swift. Kanye strikes me as the guy in junior high that would steal a box of condoms from 7-11 to show all his buddies how he went in the store and stole something, just to be accepted. He is so insecure that he was willing to jump onstage and interrupt heaven's own little blonde teardrop and all her "gosh darns" and "dag on its." I don't in any way condone Kanye's behavior. But had he barged in on Letoya Luckett no one would have cared. Because of that, part of me didn't want to add him to the list. But when the president calls you a "jackass," you've got to know that you have epically failed.
5. Joe Budden's entire 2009 has been an epic fatality. First a beef with Jersey rapper, Ransom, got the friend of Budden's brother donkey smacked on camera. Then he and Saigon got to into a rap battle where Sai dropped that Joe Budden's girlfriend was once Fabolous' girlfriend. Budden released a vlog declaring that he was OK with his girlfriend's past. Then Budden hopped out there, boasting that he was lyrically better than Method Man, which got the entire Wu-Tang Clan buzzing. Inspectah Deck got onstage at one of Budden's shows and told the crowd, "F—- Joe Budden." Then, on the Rock the Bells tour, Raekwon walked into Budden's dressing room armed with video cameras, to straighten things out. One of Raekwon's goons socked Budden in what he calls his "side-eye" for his reckless talk. (Raekwon is holding the videotape in case Budden acts out again.) Then after publicly defending his girlfriend's honor, Budden and his lady break up. She posts Twitpics of herself cuddled up with 50 Cent. Budden consoled himself by dating another Fabolous rebound, MySpace model, Somaya Reece. Meanwhile, he's trying to avert another beatdown by issuing formal apologies to Philly rappers Beanie Siegel and Mike Knox before one of them taps him in the side-eye.
4. When Joe Wilson yelled "you lie" during the president's health care speech, he should have been escorted out. During the election, Obama had to temper his temper because he couldn't afford to be labeled the angry black guy. Had he yelled out "You Lie!" during the debates, it would've been game over. I so wanted Obama to shut the South Carolina congressman down and say, "Come down here and say that to my face, Joe Wilson!" Yes, I know, Obama can't do that. And that is what I love about Obama: He doesn't have to. He's the president.
3. Let's face it: The balloon boy's father is nuts. First, he makes a big-ass balloon in his backyard (Slightly crazy.) Then he calls the police and news stations saying that his son just went up in said big-ass balloon. (Crazier.) Then we discover that the missing boy in the balloon was really hiding in the roof of his garage. (Really crazy.) And that balloon boy's dad conjured up the whole story in order to get a reality TV show. (Really, really crazy.) So I have this to say to balloon boy's dad: Your epic fail, my dear friend, was not all the craziness that lead you into annals of ridiculousness. It's not having the foresight to coach your boy not to spill the beans (both literally and figuratively) on live TV. As a crazy father, you should have made sure you had all your crazy bases covered. He needs to go to jail where he can make balloons for all the prisoners. This whole mess even pissed Hitler off.
2. We were sick of Chrihanna before the whole sordid fiasco went down. After pleading guilty to beating Rhianna, Chris goes on Larry King, trying his best to look like Poindexter rocking a Garanimals outfit in that sky blue sweater vest and matching bow tie. This entire tragedy pushed Chrihanna to the forefront of the domestic violence issue—when all we really want is for that young man to krump dance his way out of our collective consciousness.
1. A joke: Man paid to run fast walks into a nightclub with a gun in his waistband. While walking to the V.I.P. lounge to get at the ladies and make it rain on the hoes, his gun slips down from his waist. Fast Man goes to grab it, and he shoots himself in the leg. The nightclub is so loud that his teammate, who is standing right next to him, doesn't even hear the shot.
Fast Man to Teammate: I shot myself.
Teammate: What?
Fast Man: I shot myself.
Teammate: Get the %$#@&# out of here!
(Teammate looks down and sees white Converse red with blood.)
They exit.
Wait—here's the punch line: Almost a year after shooting himself in the thigh, Fast Man is sentenced to two years in prison!
Damn, Plaxico Burress. Damn.

A listing for the 'Ultimate Far Cry Compilation' has appeared on GAME's website.
According to the retailer, the collection is due for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC later this year, and will cost £39.99 on console and £29.99 on PC.
It's unclear, however, which games the compilation will include.
Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 3 are almost certainly a given, given their initial multiformat release. But whether a console port of the original Far Cry or a PS3 & PC port of Xbox 360 shooter Far Cry Instincts Predator will also be included is currently unknown.
The latest Far Cry game, Far Cry 3, launched in November to widespread critical acclaim, landing itself a runner up position in VideoGamer.com's Game of the Year awards.
VideoGamer.com has contacted Ubisoft for comment.

The Steve Jobs biopic starring Ashton Kutcher which was set to make its big screen debut on April 19 has now been delayed. According to a report by Deadline, the film will no longer arrive on April 19 and no new date has been announced yet either. The film's original release was set to coincide with the date that the late Steve Jobs had founded Apple.
The release date of the Steve Jobs biopic that stars Ashton Kutcher has quietly been postponed. jOBS,which closed the Sundance Film Festival this year, had been set by Five Star Films and its distributor Open Road for April 19. It has moved off that date, and a new date has not been determined. Five Star made a service release deal with Open Road before the festival started, and the film's backers were eager to release on the month marks the 37th anniversary of Jobs founding Apple.
The reason for the delay appears to be lack of time to prepare the films marketing and create a buzz around the film before its release. As soon as we hear more on a new release date, we will let you know. The movie which stars Ashton Kutcher in the role of Steve Jobs and Josh Gad as Steve Wozniak covers only a small part of the Apple and Jobs story from 1971-2001.

DUBLIN, Ohio (Reuters) - Tiger Woods, despite battling back pain, clinched the decisive point for the United States at a Presidents Cup for the third straight time on Sunday, holding on for a one-up victory over Richard Sterne.
Woods was 4-1 for the week, the best record of any of the 24 players involved in the biennial team competition, but he faced a surprisingly stiff test from the South African.
In intermittent rain at a sodden Muirfield Village Golf Club, the world number one had trailed after bogeying the par-five seventh but he got in front when Sterne bogeyed the 16th and sealed the win with a comfortable par at the 18th hole.
"It feels good. It was a team effort this whole week. We really played well and gave ourselves a really nice lead going into the singles and it was a tough day, tough conditions, rain, wind, tough all around," said Woods.
United States captain Fred Couples said he began to wonder how his team were going to wrap up what had earlier looked like a comfortable victory and Woods, whose back problem flared up again on the 14th, said he had felt some of that uneasiness too.
"I was like in a similar position as Freddie; where is our fourth point going to come from? I was at a point where I wasn't feeling my best coming down the stretch, and happened to get a one‑up lead," said Woods.
"I was just trying to hang on to that. Problem was, I knew I wasn't feeling good, and if I happened to mess up 18 we had to continue playing until it was decided.
"I really don't want to play anymore. I just thought - can I win, can I halve this last hole, somehow? And it ended up being that way.
"To have the opportunity to win the Cup for Freddie and all the guys on the team, it means a lot to me, and to be able to have trust in the guys and be able to go out there and earn a point, it means a lot."
Woods had been in fine form throughout the week, impressing in foursome and fourballs with new team mate Matt Kuchar before taking on the key role in the eighth match of the singles.
Despite a series of lengthy rain delays throughout the tournament and the pain from his back, Woods said he had enjoyed being back in the team environment.
"We have a great time, you kidding me? This is why when you first experience it, you want to get back on these teams each and every year. It's just a lot of fun. It was a long week but it was worth it. We did it," he said.
In the end, Woods needed to two-putt from 30 feet at the last to pick up the necessary point and put the U.S. over the line. and Sterne conceded him the second, offering his hand.
"At no given time was I a nervous wreck, but it was nice when Tiger ... got the 18th point," said Couples.
