1. Labrador Retriever
The Labrador retriever is the country's most popular breed for a reason: They're All-Americans in every respect. Easy to train and eager to please, they're great for men who want a pal to play with and for fathers with families. When selecting yours, know that there are two types of Labradors: show and work. The former are bred to exact specifications and tend to be shorter and stockier, whereas the latter are generally leaner and bred for—you guessed it—retrieving. While this isn't an official distinction at the American Kennel Club, breeders do tend to focus on one or the other.
Chew on This
Training a dog is hard on you and even harder on your carpet. To avoid the headache, you can adopt a Labrador retriever that has been trained as a guide dog. Before a Lab can lead the blind, it must complete approximately 5 months of rigorous testing that includes tasks like safely navigating street crossings. Dogs that are unable to pass the grueling standards—keep in mind that these are Navy SEAL-like standards—are highly sought after by search-and-rescue agencies, therapists, and forward-thinking fathers. For more information and to get your name on the waiting list, visit guidedogs.com.
2. Brittany
A bird dog that's low-key compared to other sporting breeds and smaller than a Labrador retriever, Brittanys are easy to train, dependable, and great for high-energy men. Perhaps because of their hunting background, they're especially tuned-in to single guys. (That's not to say they're incompatible with children, they're just more focused on the person with whom they've bonded.) But be prepared to channel this dog's energy and use its natural instincts—perhaps with competitive athletic events, or maybe even tracking hame. Without direction, the dog may exhibit destructive behavior.
Chew on This
Hunters use bird dogs to either point, flush, or retrieve, although some breeds can do all three. Brittanys can both point and flush, but American hunters primarily use them as pointers.
3. Parson Russell Terrier
Originally bred to exterminate rodents, the Parson Russell terrier is feisty, stubborn, independent, and spirited—qualities that make it better for more experienced dog owners than beginners. If the dog doesn't see a use in sitting, for example, it'll likely ignore your command. They have a high energy level, will excel at nearly every activity you attempt, and can tolerate living in an apartment. They do like to "talk," though, so think of this breed as a big personality in a small package.
Chew on This
The Parson Russell terrier is an American Kennel Club-accepted dog, whereas the better-known Jack Russell terrier is not, although other breeding organizations do recognize it. The two breeds parted ways about 20 years ago. Though similar in most regards, the Parson Russell Terrier has longer legs and a more square torso.
4. Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Despite its visual similarities to "bully breeds," which often have a negative connotation, the Staffordshire bull terrier has a friendly, mild temperament. In fact, in Britain the breed is nicknamed "nanny dog" for its sweet, gentle nature around children. Muscularly build and with a high energy level, it requires a good deal of space and exercise, though not as much as, say, a herding dog.
Chew on This
Staffordshire bull terriers, like other bully breeds, descend from ancient mastiff-type dogs called Molossians. By the 1800s, as hunters were using early versions of these breeds for bull- and bearbaiting, breeders eliminated aggressive tendencies toward humans. After all, the last thing an owner wanted was a dog that could potentially turn on him while trying to retrieve it from a precarious situation.
5. Bulldog
A loyal, docile, and low-energy companion, a bulldog makes an excellent wingman for guys who consider themselves homebodies. They don't require as much exercise as other breeds, and will always prefer walking to running. Bulldogs tends to have respiratory and back problems, however, so consider opting for a smaller rather than a larger size to hopefully limit health issues. If you live in a warm climate, a bulldog may not be the best decision for you—their respiratory problems can cause them to overheat quickly.
Chew on This
In the late 1800s, after England had banned bullbaiting, Victorians began breeding bulldogs to become shorter and squatter, with broader shoulders and more pushed-in noses. (Eventually these decisions also helped spawn a host of health problems.) Today the larger Olde English Bulldogge, a breed developed within just the last few decades, more closely resembles what the original bulldog probably looked like, and the breed tends to have fewer health problems overall.
6. Greyhound
Although the AMerican Kennel Club groups all hounds together, some breeds, such as the beagle, have a keen sense of smell, while others, such as whippets and greyhounds, are known as sighthounds and rely more on their vision. As a pet, greyhounds require less exercise than their racetrack-roots imply—an easy run or brisk walk once a day will typically suffice. Always keep them on a leash, though, as they have a tendency to bolt when they see something they want to chase. Despite their deceptively large size, greyhounds are extremely well-coordinated and well-suited to smaller living quarters because of their calm, low-energy nature.
Chew on This
Instead of buying a young greyhound, consider adopting a retired racer. Most haven ever lived in a house before, so it'll be almost like training a puppy. Check out adopt-a-greyhound.org.
7. Harrier
Like many hounds, harriers can be more difficult to train than other sporting dogs—particularly compared to, say, a Labrador retriever—but they're more easygoing than foxhounds and less energetic than beagles. Like those similar-looking breeds, they're scent hounds that love to follow their noses, typically hunt in packs, and like to use their "voices." If you're an active guy interested in hiking, running, or hunting, you've found your Fido. Just remember to keep a harrier on a leash—otherwise you'll be chasing him as he follows his nose.
Chew on This
Harriers have a strong "pack heritage," according to Donna Smiley-Auborn, president of the Harrier Club of America, and they do not do well without constant companionship. "A lonely and bored harrier will probably be a loud and destructive harrier," she warns. They'll either need at least one other dog with a similar energy level and exercise requirement or a work-from-home owner.
8. Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
Called PBGVs for short, these low-to-the-ground scent hounds are great with children and like to play—two characteristics that distinguish them from most hounds. Their strong hunting instincts tend to overshadow their interest in learning commands, though, so they require plenty of patience during training to allow them to soak up scents with their noses. They're also extremely gregarious and will treat every stranger as their new best friend.
Chew on This
The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen gets along well with other dogs because the breed is used to hunting in packs and living in close quarters. Know that they require a considerable amount of grooming, too.
9. Great Dane
Think of Great Danes as 120-poung lap dogs. People-orientated gentle giants, they're fiercely loyal, protective, and intelligent. Because of their size and strength, they require excellent basic training—they can inadvertently knock over a child and, being the same height as most tables, can easily help themselves to your dinner. Despite their massive size, they can live in apartments, don't require large amounts of exercise, and tend to have low-energy personalities. This is a mellow dog for mellow dudes.
Chew on This
The American Kennel Club requires that Great Danes have cropped ears in order to show them. More and more owners are opting out of the painful procedure, however, and the English have already banned it.
10. Bernese Mountain Dog
An ideal dog for family men, Bernese mountain dogs are gentle, patient, and playful. In other words, they'll tolerate kids who want to climb all over them. Their energy levels and exercise requirement are middle of the road compared to other breeds, and they're quick to learn, which makes them exceptionally easy to train. Because of their double coats, "Berners" shed, need regular grooming, and prefer cooler climates. They also tend to have more health concerns than other breeds and a shorter average lifespan.
Chew on This
The Bernese mountain dog is one of four varieties of Swiss mountain dogs—the other being the shorter-haired Greater Swiss mountain dog, the Appenzeller Sennenhunde, and the Entlebucher mountain dog—and is the most popular of the bunch in the United States.
11. Border Collie
Owning a border collie is a demanding job. They require a ton of time and energy, and their stamina will simply astound you. They're also incredibly intelligent—researchers say that one, named "Rico," can recognize more than 200 words, and about as many as a language-trained chimpanzee—and require constant mental challenges in addition to physical ones. If owners can't provide them outlets for both, this breed will almost certainly become destructive. Extremely athletic, they make for outstanding running partners and excel at every sport and competition—not to mention herding, for which they're prized on farms.
Chew on This
If you're not using a order collie on a farm, find a source who specifically breeds them as pets—the goal being a more manageable energy level.
12. Miniature Pinscher
Pint-sized athletes, miniature pinschers are great dogs for active men who are short on space. They require far less exercise than, say, a border collie, but they're more agile than dogs of a similar size, such as pugs or Shih Tzsus. They're also fearless. Though barely reaching double digits in height and weight, that wouldn't stop them from trying to boss around Great Danes or mastiffs.
Chew on This
Despite their visual similarities, miniature pinschers aren't miniature Doberman pinschers. Though technically listed in the toy group, they were originally terriers.

Former WWE Superstar MVP announced the end of his run with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Here is what he wrote Tuesday morning on Twitter:
"I would like to thank New Japan for allowing me to realize a dream! I LOVE Japan & will forever be grateful! I left on good terms as always," MVP tweeted.
"I WILL return to wrestling eventually. The door is open for a return to WWE, NJPW & even TNA. However my focus now is developing my TV show.
"I'm currently working on a TV project with Lionsgate TV. I'll release more details soon. But right now I'm not affiliated with ANY company. And for the record my show has NOTHING to do with wrestling. I'm excited about it. The people at Lionsgate TV have been awesome!"
MVP joined New Japan in 2011 and wrestled his final match last month at the Tokyo Dome Show on January 4.

Here is the weekly road construction report for Hamilton County:
U.S. 41 (SR-8, Ringgold Rd.) grading, drainage and paving at the intersection of I 75 South off-ramp (LM 1.07) at Exit 1: Work on this project continues. The contractor will be working on Exit 1 on I-75 South at East Ridge performing paving operations during this report period. Work will take place between the hours of 7 a.m.-6 p.m. on Mondays-Saturdays. Unless a major backup occurs, traffic on I-75 should not be affected. In the future this job could require a temporary lane/shoulder closure on I-75 South. THP and flaggers will assist with traffic control as necessary. Estimated project completion date is December.
U.S. 27 (SR-29) reconstruction project from Manufacturers Road (Olgiati Bridge over the Tennessee River) to U.S. 127 (SR-8, Signal Mountain Boulevard): Weather permitting, the contractor will have lane closures throughout the project area on weeknights to perform road work. They will also be working on retaining walls and bridges throughout the project area. During nighttime work, at least one lane will remain open in each direction. Beginning on Saturday at 7 p.m. until Sunday at 7 p.m. the contractor will close the ramp from Dayton Blvd. to U.S. 27 South to set girders on the nearby bridge. The closure is necessary because the crane needed to do the work would not allow traffic to pass safely. It is likely that the contactor will not require the total time period to perform the work, and as soon as the work is completed the ramp will be reopened. This work is weather permitting. THP will assist with traffic control on the project as necessary. Estimated project completion date is February 2015.
Shallowford Road widening project from Gunbarrel Road to Jenkins Road, including grading drainage, and paving: Work continues on this project. The contractor will be paving during this report period as weather and temperatures permit. Drivers are urged to be alert and to obey all traffic signs. Flaggers will be in place to assist with traffic control as necessary. Estimated project completion date is December.
Construction of a State Industrial Access route serving Volkswagen Group of America, including grading, drainage and paving: Work on this project continues. The contractor is in the process of clearing and taking care of environmental measures in order to start on road and drainage. Traffic will not be impacted at this time therefore, no lane closures are needed. Estimated project completion date is September.
I-75 from MM 13.9 to MM 25.3 expansion of Chattanooga SmartWay Intelligent Traffic System: Work on this project continues. There will be daytime shoulder closures throughout the project area as the contractor performs work for future traffic cameras and dynamic message signs. Estimated completion date is May.

Zetterberg said he had talked to his buddy throughout the summer, and he hopes Datsyuk, a centerman, will be back. Coach Mike Babcock said the same thing last week. "We need him," Zetterberg said. "He's a good player. It's new rules. It's tough to get everyone you want. Hopefully we can get him back. I think he wants to be back here."

Various Artists Cortex Volume 2
- Words: Rachel Swan
- Label: Follow Me
Ummm... elevator with an edge? In Volume 2, which features tracks reissued from 1977-Cortex dishes out the kind of super-kitsch tunes that Chick Corea might be playing if he took a lot of acid and joined the Average White Band. What results is a balmy collection of jazz-rock tracks, the kind of posterboard stuff that would suit a '70s exploitation film. Musically, the album's tepid: a synth dithering on the pentatonic scale, a little feedback-laced guitar, and a lot of thack-thwacky high-hat. If you're down for cheese' recommend the sing-songy "Regina" and the agreeably funky "Mister J."

Title: Non-native textile bamboo for Austin?
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I was looking for a non-invasive bamboo to plant as a privacy screen in central Austin. Would bambusa textilis (weavers bamboo) be an ok solution since it is a clumping bamboo instead of running?
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the growth, propagation and protection of plants native not only to North America but to the areas in which those plants grow natively. So, Bambusa textilis, Textile bamboo, falls out of our area of expertise, as it is native to China. We could find very little solid information on this plant, except that it is considered rare, so we don't know how easily obtainable it would be. What we did find on the plant were advertisements, all trumpeting how beautiful it was, but none mentioning whether or not it could become invasive. Last of all, it is native to USDA Hardiness Zones 9a to 11; Austin is Zone 8b.

A man has appeared in court accused of trying to rape a nine-year-old girl in the public toilets of a Workington park.
John Robert Newton, 26, of Fisher Street, Workington, faces charges of attempted rape, committing an assault causing actual bodily harm with the intention of committing a sexual offence, voyeurism and a separate linked assault.
He is also accused of two counts of breaching a court order imposed after a previous conviction.
Newton, wearing a dark jumper over a red top, sat in the dock at West Cumbria Magistrates Court this morning with his jumper partially covering his face then looking at the floor as details of the alleged offences were put to him.
The court heard that Newton is accused of entering the ladies' toilets in the cafe at Vulcan Park on Tuesday.
It is alleged that he used a mobile phone to record the girl in a cubicle before forcing his way into the cubicle and assaulting her.
He is accused of common assault against another person at the scene.
The case was sent to Carlisle Crown Court, where Newton will appear for a preliminary hearing on September 15.
He was remanded in custody.

Seattle Seahawks continue making deals
The Seahawks' front office never seems to rest. They made another move Tuesday, acquiring Marshawn Lynch from Buffalo.
Seattle Times staff columnist
This front office never rests.
That might be the best news — better than the opening-day rout of the San Francisco 49ers or the do-you-believe-in-miracles win over San Diego from this thrill-ride beginning to the Seahawks' season.
The front office isn't content with waiting until next year. It isn't ready to agree that just winning the rotten NFC West with a record of, say, 8-8 would be a grand accomplishment for this first season of the new administration.
These Seahawks are willing to be revolutionary, willing to tear down and build up the roster as many times as they think are necessary. Ready to accept any criticisms of their moves.
When coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider came to Seattle last winter, they knew the goo they were stepping into. They identified the problem areas that were as frighteningly obvious as the sinister shadows on X-rays.
There were no secrets. The offensive line couldn't block. The defensive line couldn't rush the passer. The secondary was porous. The running game was weak. And the receivers were incapable of stretching the field.
Carroll and Schneider came to change the culture. And they've been changing on the fly since the day they were teamed together.
Neither Carroll nor Schneider has accepted the notion that rebuilding takes time. They've made changes and changes and changes. They flipped the roster again and again, like speculators flipping houses.
It's a dangerous game they've been playing, but they've been willing to take the kind of risks few front offices ever dare attempt.
They've turned the locker room at VMAC into a pigskin version of Ellis Island, with new players coming in almost daily from all over the NFL.
The turnover has been unprecedented.
To that point, on Tuesday, they pulled the deal of the season. They got something the Seahawks have been seeking since forever.
The Hawks acquired leather-tough running back Marshawn Lynch from the Buffalo Bills, and the price tag was minimal — a fourth-round pick in 2011 and either a fifth- or sixth-round pick in 2012.
It was a steal of a deal for a team that is 27th in the league in rushing and hasn't been able to move the ball on the ground since Shaun Alexander's MVP season in 2005.
Lynch is a bit of a gamble, because he has had problems in the past with the law. But Justin Forsett, his former teammate at Cal, his new teammate with the Seahawks and one of the most genuine people in the league, vouches for Lynch.
They are best friends. Last summer Lynch was in Forsett's wedding party. That's a good enough character reference for me.
On the field, Lynch is what the Seahawks hoped Julius Jones would be, but wasn't. He was what they hoped LenDale White would be, but wasn't.
He is a workhorse back. He breaks tackles and he's only 24. Already he has had two 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and he made the 2008 Pro Bowl.
With his past legal problems, it was obvious that Lynch wasn't wanted in Buffalo. The Bills sent that message last April when they drafted running back C.J. Spiller.
Lynch needed a change of scenery, and the Seahawks are the perfect place for his fresh start.
He can be a difference-maker in the weak, weak West. This one move can make the Hawks the division's favorite.
Yes, the offensive line remains a mess, but rookie left tackle Russell Okung has two weeks to get his bum ankle ready for Chicago.
And if (it's a big if) guard Chester Pitts, who returned to the team Tuesday, can get healthy and stay healthy, and if Carroll can settle on a starting five on the offensive line and give them two weeks' worth of reps together, maybe the Hawks will be able to run the ball and quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will have time to find his receivers.
Make no mistake, the Seahawks are rebuilding, but they are getting better this season while they build for the great beyond.
Trading for Lynch is a huge Seahawks coup and another indication of just how restless and ever-ready to deal this new-look front office is.

Anritsu claims first GCF validations of both LTE RF and protocol conformance tests
April 28, 2010 // Jean-Pierre Joosting
Anritsu Corporation has announced that it is the first test equipment vendor in the world to achieve GCF-approved test case validations for both LTE RF and protocol conformance testing.
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the next-generation wireless communications service supporting 100-Mbps downlink and 50-Mbps uplink data communications, which is 5 to 10 times faster than current 3G services. Leading carriers such as Verizon Wireless and NTT Docomo will roll-out LTE services later this year.
Mobile terminal manufacturers must gain GCF approval to prove that their LTE terminals satisfy the 3GPP standards, meaning that there is increasing demand for an approved conformance test environment.
At the GCF CAG#22 meeting this month Anritsu successfully gained GCF approval for the industry-leading 12 number of RF test cases for its ME7873L RF Conformance Test System together with additional test cases for its ME7832L Protocol Conformance Test System. Following this key GCF test case milestone, Anritsu Measurement Group President Mr. Kenji Tanaka said, "In the last year, there has been a rapidly growing trend towards actual applications and services using the key new technology called LTE. Anritsu is pleased to be able to play a major role in LTE conformance testing and helping to build a richer and more comfortable society."
Anritsu has been the market-leading supplier of GCF-approved test cases for W-CDMA conformance tests since the start of 3G services. With the targeted October 2010 roll-out of LTE services, Anritsu is on track to deliver the required 80% of approved Priority 1 and 2 test cases, and is expecting to accelerate its number of both GCF and PTCRB approved test cases to assure the early success of high-quality LTE services.

Ricciardo confident of keeping up with Mercedes in Monaco
May 24, 2014, 1:30 PM EDT
Daniel Ricciardo believes that Red Bull has the pace this weekend to keep up with Mercedes, and potentially get into the mix for a race win if drama strikes the Silver Arrows.
The Australian driver qualified in third place behind Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton on Saturday in Monaco, but the gap has certainly reduced compared to the first five rounds of the season. Ricciardo finished just four-tenths of a second behind pole-sitter Rosberg, and he feels that he could have gone faster still.
"I think I could have been closer to the front today and I don't like it when that's the case," he explained after qualifying. "I made a mistake in the last run in Q3; we were up and I thought it was going well, but then I made a mistake and lost the time I had made.
"Anyways, there's no room for excuses here so I'll just have to learn for next time."
After scoring his first podium in Formula 1 at the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago, Ricciardo is now refusing to settle for anything less than a top three finish tomorrow.
"I would be disappointed not to finish on the podium tomorrow," he confessed. "I think we have the pace to hang with Mercedes, so hopefully we can at least get one of them off the line and maybe do something with strategy and give ourselves a real chance of taking a win."
Given the tension that has brewed at Mercedes today, the possibility of it spilling over on track tomorrow certainly exists. Should the Silver Arrows come to blows or develop problems, Ricciardo could be the man to pick up the pieces and possibly sneak his first grand prix victory.

Crowley Maritime subsidiary, Jensen Maritime complete design of 2 ASD tugboats & a deck cargo barge for Harley Marine.
Seattle-based naval architecture and marine engineering company Jensen Maritime recently completed the designs of two new ASD tugs, based on the popular Valor tugboat design, and a 250' x 70' x 15' 8" deck barge for customer Harley Marine, a Seattle-based marine transportation provider. The tugs, named Robert Franco and Ahbra Franco, will provide tanker escort and ship assist services along the U.S. West Coast once delivered. The barge, Iliuliuk Bay, will transport a wide variety of cargo between Dutch Harbor and Akutan, Alaska, with up to three runs per week.
Jensen designed the two new industry-setting tugboats similarly to the classic Valor concept, but upgraded them with Tier 3 Cat 3516C engines and Rolls-Royce US 255 Z-drives. But the vessels still maintain the perks of the Valor, such as high horsepower in a compact package, a large fuel capacity for long trips, comfortable crew accommodations and a spacious engine room.
The tugs will also feature an anchor windlass and chain locker, as well as a Markey TES-40 winch. Additionally, Jensen designed the pair of tugs with some of the most advanced safety features in the industry, including a pair of 900 GPM fire pumps and monitors, which will be powered from an on-board generator. Ice plating has also been added to the hulls to ensure safety while working in light ice conditions.
The Iliuliuk Bay will house a 230-ton lift capacity Manitowoc 4100 crawler crane. The vessel's design features both D-rings to secure containers up to three high as well as eight lashing bars running fore and aft for other cargo such as heavy construction machinery or general equipment. The barge is now under construction by U.S. Fab, in Vigor's Swan Island shipyard in Portland, Ore with delivery scheduled for later this year.
The Robert Franco and Ahbra Franco are now under construction at Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, of Freeland, Wash., and are expected to be delivered in March and July respectively.

Pilot buys pizzas for passengers grounded by storm
Faced with potentially hungry -- and grumpy -- passengers, a Frontier Airlines pilot treated them to pizza when storms diverted a Denver-bound flight to Cheyenne, where the plane was stuck for a couple of hours.
Faced with potentially hungry -- and grumpy -- passengers, a Frontier Airlines pilot treated them to pizza when storms diverted a Denver-bound flight to Cheyenne, where the plane was stuck for a couple of hours.
Cheyenne Domino's Pizza manager Andrew Ritchie told The Associated Press that he got a call about 10 p.m. Monday just as he was about to send employees home. Ritchie said the pilot told him he needed to feed 160 people -- fast.
"I put my hand over the phone and I said: 'Guys, you're coming back,'" Ritchie said, recalling what he told his employees.
In all, Ritchie said his crew made about 35 pizzas and delivered them to the airport, where the driver handed the food off to flight attendants. One of the passengers sent KUSA-TV a picture of flight attendants handing pizza boxes.
That number of pizzas is usually what his store handles in an entire hour, Ritchie said. This time, they needed to make them and deliver them in about 30 minutes, he said.
But that didn't deter his co-workers, Ritchie said.
"Actually, they were super excited. They had a blast. It was a challenge," he said. "It was definitely one of those 'challenge accepted' moments in time."
Frontier Airlines did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press, but KUSA-TV reported that the company confirmed the episode.
The television station reports that the flight to Denver International Airport, which originated in Washington, D.C., left Cheyenne about 10:30 p.m., shortly after the pizzas arrived.
The flight was one of dozens that were delayed Monday evening because of heavy rain across Colorado.

Violent, Racist Union Thugs Destroy Hot Dog Cart
This is apparently OK with the Legacy Media, since the violent, racist union thugs funnel money to and vote Democrat
(The Blaze) A man running a local hot dog stand in Michigan's state capital was among those attacked by protesters of the state's "Right to Work" legislation while he served food in a tent that was torn down yesterday. The man was also allegedly taunted when he tried to salvage some of his property.
During Tuesday's protests – the day Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law what he said is "pro-worker" legislation – the equipment Clint Tarver uses to run Clint's Hot Dog Cart and Casual Catering was destroyed by people some have called "union thugs."
According to the Lansing State Journal, Tarver was hired by the pro-Right-to-Work group Americans for Prosperity to serve hot dogs in the tent. TheBlaze reported about the tent's destruction Tuesday – and how protesters were reportedly cutting up and distributing pieces of it as "souvenirs."
Tarver was simply doing an honest days work for an honest days pay, but, he was in the way of the violent union goons and became collateral damage. Fortunately, responsible and caring people (who would be Conservatives) have taken up a collection to replace his business.
Tarver is a caring man, a kind man. Unfortunately, he ran into Democrats
Clint Tarver was a guest on Dana Loesch's FM 97.1 radio showtoday. In the interview he explained what happened at the tent from his perspective. He said by 11: 30 a.m. the "mayhem" started. Two men entered the tent, one wearing a devil's mask, the other a ski mask. These two men provided Tarver with a ticket to get a hot dog, which he provided them.
"Three minutes later, they're next to me turning coffee urns over at another table," Tarver said on the show.
He went onto explain how he was urged by another to leave the tent, which he had to crawl out of because it collapsed. Tarver confirmed that he was targeted with racial slurs, including the "n-word" and people saying "you're on the wrong side."
"I said to them 'I'm here for a job. I'm not on this side, I'm not on that side. I'm here for a job.'" Tarver recounted. "And I just stood there and took it."
Any liberals care to defend this? Or will you call this a "false flag operation," too? More at Twitchy, including
Love the thug mentality. Please, tell me how you're all about the worker while you stomp all over his hot dog cart biz.

Jennifer and Justin are 'great friends'
Aniston and screenwriter boyfriend Theroux had been dating for more than a year before he proposed on Friday

Finally the jibes over being envious of Angelina Jolie can be laid to rest.
Jennifer Aniston, 43, has well and truly moved on by getting engaged to partner Justin Theroux.
The Friends actress and her actor/director beau sealed the deal on Friday, after the 41-year-old popped the question during his birthday celebrations.
His spokesperson confirmed to People: "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage."
The rep said: "They're great friends" — a pun on the sitcom that made Aniston famous in the '90s.
The engagement falls on the same weekend that Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt was rumoured to be marrying Jolie, his partner of seven years and the mother of his six children, at their French home.
Their romance was infamously shrouded in whispers that they embarked on a relationship while Pitt was still married to Aniston — having met on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith in 2004.
However, as news of the wedding has still not been confirmed and insiders are claiming that next weekend is "a far more likely date", Aniston and Theroux have stolen their thunder.
The couple, who have been dating for more than a year, were first seen together in May 2011. Just two months later, Aniston placed her Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $38 million (Dh139.57 million), before buying a palatial LA Bel-Air home with Theroux in January this year — for a reported $22 million.
Aniston and Theroux starred in Wanderlust together, a comedy flop with Paul Rudd about a modern New York couple trying to escape society by moving to a commune in Georgia.
Fans will be elated for Aniston, as the Los Angeles native was largely considered to be unlucky-in-love.
Following her four and a half year marriage to Pitt, which saw them separate in January 2005, she endured a string of fling flops.
Aniston was seen on the arm of The Break-Up co-star Vince Vaughn soon after, before moving on to British model Paul Sculfor for a few months in 2007 and later had an on/off romance with John Mayer.
Meanwhile, Theroux fell under the microscope during his courting of Aniston — as he broke up with his long-term girlfriend of 14 years, Heidi Bivens.
The well-respected fashion stylist, who has worked at Details and Vogue, was said to be "blindsided" by his actions.
However, she seems to be moving on, having been hired for costume designer duties on the new Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens film Spring Breakers.
But it seems Aniston certainly made Theroux sweat, reportedly turning down his initial proposal in June during a romantic European jaunt in Paris and Rome.
And in an interview with GQ Spain, she said she no longer strives for the perfect life as it's "cliche".
Asked if it bothers her that her personal life is under constant scrutiny, she said: "A perfect life? I think that's sort of cliche, isn't it?
"Like, if you want to be happy, you should have the house, the husband, the kid... Kids are messy!"

Postma recalled from IceCaps to play with Jets
NEWARK, NJ – Paul Postma is going to get another shot to impress Winnipeg Jets' brass. And the Jets, collectively, want to keep this mini-roll they're on going through the weekend and into the finale of their road trip in Buffalo on Tuesday.
The Jets announced Saturday morning that they have recalled the young defenceman from the St. John's IceCaps while placing Tobias Enstrom, out with a broken collar bone, on the injured reserve list retroactive to Oct. 31.
A 22-year-old Red Deer product, Postma is the third defencemen to be summoned from the IceCaps after Brett Festerling and Mark Flood joined the team earlier this week and he'll be in the lineup against the New Jersey Devils (6 p.m. CT, CBC/TSN Radio).
"I was pretty excited when I got that call (Friday)," said Postma after practice Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark. "It's not your first call up and you've been there before so the nerves aren't exactly what they used to be, but with all the injuries I'm just glad I get the chance to play."
Postma has appeared in 10 games with the IceCaps this year and has two goals and six assists – tied for the team's scoring lead. He was originally selected by the organization in the seventh round (205th overall) of the 2007 NHL draft. He was paired with Johnny Oduya during Saturday's skate and could see some time on the Jets' power-play against the Devils.
"He's very capable. He'll help us," said Jets head coach Claude Noel. "He'll play some power-play, but we just want him to defend, be responsible and move the puck up and just play simple. He was good in training camp and disappointed to be reassigned, but he's back and we just want him to play a clean game."
Injuries have ravaged the Jets' defensive corps this week. In addition to Enstrom, Mark Stuart is battling an assortment of hurts while Randy Jones took a shot off the foot in Thursday's win over the New York Islanders and won't be available for Saturday's game against the Devils. Stuart skated Saturday, but is still listed as day to day. The club hopes he could be available for Sunday's game against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
As well, the team is without two other defencemen, Ron Hainsey and Derek Meech.
Meanwhile, Nik Antropov – who took a shot off the hand last week but returned to finish the game – will be in the lineup but will likely be shifted from centre to wing and not take any faceoffs. That means Alex Burmistrov will move back to centre with Evander Kane patrolling the other wing. Kenndal McArdle cleared waivers and the team won't make a decision on whether he is in the lineup until after the pre-game skate.
Devils' sniper Ilya Kovalchuk is out for the Devils.
"We're going to have to manage our game intelligently with the defence that we have, spend as little time as we can in our zone and find ways to exploit their game," said Noel. "This is a game we feel we can win."
Ondrej Pavelec, who shut out the Islanders Thursday, will be back in the net for the Jets.
"He's going to play. He's on a roll, he's in a good place," said Noel. "I mean, I certainly wouldn't hesitate playing him back to back tonight and tomorrow. That wouldn't be an issue for me. Does it follow into Buffalo? I would probably ride him right now the way he is. It depends on how the games go. If there's a lot of penalties, a lot of power plays, a lot of shots, a lot of activity... then you have to be careful."

A Flashing Warning Brake Light
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Hi Bob,
I'm hoping you can help shed some "light" on my brake light issue in my 2001 Honda Accord. It's been staying on even though my emergency brake is not on (I check and double check). The light will sometimes go away when I'm on the freeway. Then, it will sometimes come back on. I can't discern a pattern. I hope you can point me in the right direction before I (helplessly) take it to a mechanic.
Your brake fluid might be low. That light serves multiple purposes. One, as you are aware, is to let you know that your emergency brake or parking brake is activated. Another is a low fluid indicator.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!
Bob, The Auto Answer Man

Rain Or Shine, Crowds Turnout For March Madness Music Festival
Get Breaking News First
DALLAS (CBS 11 News) - Rain that fell heavily at times on Saturday didn't dampen the energy at the March Madness Music Festival.
Crowds turned out to Reunion Park for LL Cool J, comedian Kevin Hart, and Tim McGraw.
Police were once again a notable presence at the park, with more officers on site in uniform and plainclothes after a theft of pyrotechnics on Thursday.
Ron Pinkston, President of the Dallas Police Association, said the upgrade in security affected about three dozen officers.
"The CRT and Deployment units of the Dallas Police Department were called into work overtime on Saturday and Sunday for the NCAA related events due to a legitimate emergency. But the emergency was created by a lack of planning by police management which resulted in pyrotechnics being stolen," Pinkston said.
The theft also led to a policy change at the gates. Attendants were required to carry belongings in clear plastic totes, instead of personal purses or bags. The clear bag rule previously only applied to inside AT&T Stadium.
Umbrellas are also prohibited at the concert series, which concludes on Sunday with Pat Green, fun., and Bruce Springsteen.
"We're okay with the plastic bags right now because we are using them to shield our heads from the rain!" said Ashley Bishop, a Dallas resident attending the concert with a friend and kids.
As the rain fell, thousands gathered at the stage for country superstar Tim McGraw, the afternoon's headlining act.
"We're having an amazing time! Awesome!" said some of the music fans.
The skies briefly cleared around the time the UConn and Florida semi-final game began, drawing more basketball fans to Reunion Park to watch the game on the big screens by the stage.
The Killers are set to take the stage around 7:30 p.m., or at the approximate time the first semi-final game ends.

Back Issues
November 2014
In the November issue of Air Forces Monthly, we look at the air operations against ISIL within Iraq and Syria looking at the strikes by the USAF, USN, RAF and other nations. Military News Editor Dave Allport reports on military aviation matters from around the world, while Alan Warnes provides coverage of from RAF Benson, Oxfordshire to see the RAF Merlin helicopter fleet transferred to the Royal Navy.
In the second of a two-part feature Glenn Sands described how RAF Marhams 31 Goldstars Squadron aircrew conduct Ground Close Air Support and how the RAFs Force Protection team prepares for its deployment to Kandahar, Afghanistan. This will be the final Tornado Force deployment to the region.
Around 30 aircraft flew into RAF Fairford, Gloucester to support President Barrack Obamas attendance at a NATO Summit in early September; AFM was there to witness the spectacle.
As the airborne eyes and ears of the US Navy fleet for 50 years, the E-2 Hawkeye has been a critical asset within carrier air wings. Ted Carlson explains how it has been protecting the battle groups all these years.
