He whirls around, staff at the ready.
A stream of ice whizzes by to your left, narrowly missing you and whatever it is that is carrying you.
Jack takes to the air and chases after you, firing at your kidnapper at windows of opportunity. As the trees get thicker and the forest darker, he calls out your name and you call back in hopes of keeping track of one another.
He's starting to lose you. You can now only catch glimpses of snow-white hair here and blue-glowing staff there in the darkness, his calls getting more and more distant.
Soon, you see nothing at all besides barely-visible tree trunks.
"Jack?" you call out the best that you can. "JACK?!?"
You begin to panic even more. Where are you being taken? What is going to be done to you? You struggle against the hold on your collar, reaching up to maybe pry apart the grip of whatever is carrying you away.
Your hand meets cold sand.
The creature snorts—much like your average horse—and gallops even faster. You feel yourself lift further off the ground. Looking below you, you realize that you're flying.
This creature can fly.
Despite the height, you'd rather risk a few broken bones than go wherever it is taking you.
You struggle against it even harder, twisting, turning, and pounding on its snout. You can feel it start to get mad. It redoes its grip, biting harder onto your clothes and even pinching your skin. You yelp at the pain. You can just feel its sharp teeth sink into your flesh. You begin to black out, growing limp as it squeezes at your spinal cord.
In a final effort, you elbow the thing in its powerful chest, letting out a war cry. This must have caught it off-guard, because its grip on you loosens. You feel yourself suddenly descend. Knowing that this is your moment, you hit its snout one last time, twisting yourself as you do.
You feel it completely release you.
You tumble to the forest floor. You were only a few feet from it after you caught the creature by surprise. You're able to stand up. Good, no broken bones, you think to yourself as you run through a mental self-check. Just a few bruises.
You look around you, senses on guard in case the thing comes back for you. You turn to face the slightest sound.
Come on Jack. Hurry.
In the pitch blackness, you catch a glimmer of night-blue sand and a fiery eye. You raise your fists, taking a ready stance.
I sure could use a little help!
The horse lands in front of you, eyes concentrated on you and hooves pounding the ground in anticipation.
You're revving to go. You refuse to be scared any longer. "I'm not afraid of you," you tell the being.
Suddenly, you hear a low, raspy, evil chuckle echo throughout the forest. You glance around you in search of its source.
"Not afraid?" You hear it mock you. It has a slight English accent. A subtle gust of wind blows beside the sand beast. You can just make out a solidified shadow of a tall, slender man stroking its mane. The same voice comes more focused from it this time. "Who is not afraid of nightmares?"
Nightmares? Is that what that thing is called? A Nightmare?
The man chuckles again, sending a chill up your spine. "Beautiful, aren't they?" The voice becomes more directed at you. "You really should be afraid, you know, when you have the Boogeyman standing before you."
You take a step back. You feel fear begin to crawl inside you. The Boogeyman? The one that hides under beds and represents all evil in a child's life? The reason why you had to check under your bed and in your closet every night for monsters, the being behind your childhood fear of the dark?
"There's no way," you say under your breath. "There's no such thing as the Boogeyman. He's…he's just a…a myth. You're a liar!"
"Ah, but haven't you learned in recent days that myths can be more than just words?"
Your childhood fears begin to come back to you. You start to shiver. You try shaking off the terror but are unsuccessful.
The Nightmare neighs.
"Careful," the man warns you lightly. "They sense fear. It gets them riled up."
"What do you want with me?" you manage to say, voice shaking.
"You'll find out soon enough," he replies definitively. "You'll regret the day you ever got yourself involved with Jack Frost." You see the shadow bend, as if bowing. "The name is Pitch, Pitch Black. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some preparations to make. I'll let my precious Nightmare take care of you."
Another breeze tells you that Pitch has left.
You face the Nightmare, feeling far less confident in yourself.
Jack, where are you??
The Nightmare charges.
"JACK!" you yell into the cold forest.
Just as the nightmare is about to come upon you, a blast of ice shoots in front of it, stopping it in its tracks.
"Hey, sandbrain! Over here!"
You and the beast turn towards the voice's source.
You've never been more relieved to see Jack Frost in your life.
He seems to emanate his own light in the dark forest, his staff glowing like a blue torch.
The Nightmare begins to run after him, forgetting entirely about you. Jack takes to the air when it's a couple feet away. "Haha, missed me!" It turns to face him again, beginning to lift off of the ground.
You whistle and throw a nearby rock at it, which somehow manages to hit it square in what would be its temple. "Hey, don't forget about me!" It stands back on the ground, its attention now back to you.
You gulp. What have you just done?
A blue-white blast suddenly hits it and it becomes engulfed in ice, eternally frozen like an equestrian statue.
Jack lands, jumping up and down with his fist raised in triumph. "Got it!" He turns to face you, smiling wide. "We got it!"
You run to him and leap into his arms, slinging your arms around his neck. He drops his staff to hug you back. The momentum from your hug makes the two of you twirl around. You're laughing in unison from joy and relief.
Your feet find the ground again, the two of you still giggling. Your arms still around his cold neck, you look up at him.
"Boy, am I glad to see you," you tell him, smiling.
"I told you I'd protect you." He presses you closer to him, leaning in, his nose less than an inch from your own. His is voice now a soft whisper. "Thank you for believing in me."
And he lays his lips on yours in a tender kiss.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much fluff!!!!!!!!!!! finally kissed!!! woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he'd have lost his horse to my incredible horse charm. No horse can resist me, I have a natural talent not to mention the Nightmare is my favorite creature both in Magic and in DnD
that's so cool! do you own a horse? do you want to have one, if you don't? ahhhhhh I love horses, they're like big doggies.
I grew up on a ranch, we had 5 horses but now there are none. Dad was never fully into horses as I was... and the horse that was TRULY mine (a dear old **and when I say old I mean OLD, he was friends with my Grandparents** friend left her to me) was a bit... feisty... to put it mildly... and Dad wouldn't let my sister go near the horses. He sold Missy (my welsh pony) to people who bred pure blood Welsh ponies, and Holly and Vamp just got old, then Buffalo and Lady (my official horse) got put down. But I would LOVE to own horses again. Or at the very least make friends with someone who owns horses that trusts my ability to ride so I can ride a horse that has a fiery spirit like my Lady had. She had attitude alright, but when you earned her trust and respect she would give her life for you. She was the most amazing horse. Not to say that I didn't love the others, she and I just shared an understanding. A shared... troubled past if you will. We knew what the other went through and we knew what the other sought.

I was in shock for at least fifteen minutes now I started reading this story again and I guess I've gotten two kisses from Jack today (you must think I'm insane now )

Inspection of practical plate assemblies is challenging due to the presence of complex features such as bends and corners. The objective is to investigate the influence of bends or curvature in the transverse direction on the propagation of guided waves in plates. A 3D finite element (FE) simulation shows that bends in plates can concentrate and guide ultrasonic energy along the direction of wave propagation. An interesting feature-guided mode that is surprisingly similar to the A0 (fundamental antisymmetric) Lamb mode in normal plates was identified when the bent plate is subjected to 'in-plane' excitation as the generation of this type of mode for a thicknesswise symmetric excitation is unexpected. These results are validated with experiments and discussed using Semi Analytical Finite Element (SAFE) models.

God looks after those we love. I just lost a beloved pet to two coyotes. However the end comes it is hard. I understand your grief but respect your love of your pet.
Printable View
God looks after those we love. I just lost a beloved pet to two coyotes. However the end comes it is hard. I understand your grief but respect your love of your pet.
About 7 years ago we had to put down our bull-mastiff that had been a rescued part of our family for about five years. She loved us more than anything, and we her. She was terrified of people in general, and hated a vet more than anything else.
She was completely blind, and every time she moved her hips popped- getting up, laying down, and walking- so, we had to. We have her a HUGE ham bone from dinner the day before, laid with her for a couple hours, made her as happy as we possibly could.
Then we took her out back, and continued petting, and speaking to her as lovingly as possible. As much as it hurt, we used two shots- the first severed her spine, so she felt nothing, and the second to stop her heart. Nothing hurt more than having to do that- but, it ended her suffering with her loved ones around her, and she never knew what happened.
I understand exactly what you mean, and I'm sorry that you had to go through it. Just know, and always remember, that your beloved Frisco is not suffering anymore, and is most likely chasing some small furry rodent around in a grassy field somewhere under a bright blue sky.
I had to put my best friend down a few months ago. If I wasn't in suburbia, I would have done like you. It's been six months and I still choke up when I think of him. The love that a dog gives is pure and unadulterated, maybe that's why it touches us so deeply. We know there are no hidden objectives or ulterior motives, and thus we allow ourselves to return the same kind of unselfish love. It's a level of spiritual connection that is almost impossible to make with another human being.
Good luck in your healing.
I admire your courage and ability to be decisive in a matter as painful as this one. Just reading your post made me choke up, and I know for certain that myself and many others would not have been able to do what you have done. I hope you find some relief and justification in ending your best friends pain, Im sure your dogs last words would have been thank you. Sorry for your loss, Eagle,
Praying you have closure in this time
From one animal lover to another; I'm very sorry for your loss. Our pets truly are members of our families, I could have never had enough courage to do what you described. I hope you find closure and Frisco is at peace.
I'm sorry for your loss, and admire your strength for a difficult act of kindness. I can tell from your post that you gave Frisco the best life he possibly could have had...something I feel that every pet is owed, but too few are given. I hope that you find some peace in time.
Your act was of love and compassion, and one day, your friend will great you again and you two will play in an endless pasture of the greenest grass. The pain will lessen with time, but your memories will never fade.
I had to do the same thing several years ago with the best dog I ever had. I had many dogs before him, and had to have some put down, had some die of age and accident. Dakota was special, raised him from a pup, he was a lab mix and loved all the animals we had on the farm. A couple years after my son was born, he began developing mental issues. I had seen it before when I was younger, he chewed the fender of our car, chewed the siding on the house, and bit my wife causing a 4" gash in her arm. He was no longer himself, I couldn't trust him anymore around my young son. There was no way I could send him to another farm either. The night after he bit my wife, I sat with him for a while, talked to him, cried with him, then did what I had to do to ensure he didn't hurt anyone else or himself. It wasn't his fault, he was ill, it doesn't make it any easier. I take comfort in knowing one day I will see him again, and we'll play and run and wrestle like we used to do.
Grieve not for your loss, but rejoice in the memories of the life you shared for he is playing in that lush green field waiting for HIS BEST FRIEND to join him.

Senior Management Group
Michelle Bachelet, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women
On 14 September 2010, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment of Michelle Bachelet, a national of Chile, as the Under-Secretary-General for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women).
Ms. Bachelet most recently served as President of Chile from 2006 to 2010. A long-time champion of women's rights, she has advocated for gender equality and women's empowerment throughout her career. One of her major successes was her decision to save billions of dollars in revenues to spend on pension reform, which guaranteed a programme of social protections for women and children, despite the financial crisis. This included tripling the number of free early child-care centres for low-income families and the completion of some 3,500 child-care centres around the country.
Ms. Bachelet also held ministerial portfolios in the Chilean Government as Minister of Defence and Minister of Health. As Defence Minister, Ms. Bachelet introduced gender policies intended to improve the conditions of women in the military and police forces. As Minister of Health, she implemented health-care reform, improving attention to primary care facilities with the aim of ensuring better and faster health-care response for families.
Ms. Bachelet holds a medical degree. She also studied military strategy at Chile's National Academy of Strategy and Policy and at the Inter-American Defense College in the United States.
Born 29 September 1951 in Santiago, Ms. Bachelet has three children.

WPZOOM, this theme is deplorable.
I implore everybody to stay away from this theme. It does not work.
I've spent nearly a full day trying to get it up and running, with no success. I'm now going to have to look into the use of another theme. WPZOOM have therefore cost me a significant amount of money.
With the terrible quality of workmanship on this theme, one can only assume how poorly constructed the rest of WPZOOMs products are..
It appears that WPZOOM are not forthcoming with support for the theme unless you join their paid forum, which costs $200 to sign up. See the following support thread - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpzoom-academica-homepage-slideshow-question
If that is the case.. nice little money maker there WPZOOM!!
One also wonders how WordPress allows such a terrible pieces of work to successfully get through their vetting system. Not happy WordPress.
The inability of WordPress to implement a decent quality control system for submitted themes and plugins is starting to become a more frequent issue for me. Dealing with issues like this costs me a lot of money.
It's times like this I start thinking about moving to another content management system. I never hear of such issues with Joomla.
Bad , old one
This theme is incredibly convoluted. It failed to install 3 times before it worked and once it did work errors immediately started showing up everywhere. The slide-show does not work. The only information provided by the developers on getting it to work is "install Jetpack, activate, and look under the reading menu." This doesn't work.
As of right now this theme is broken. If it isn't broken, there is not nearly enough documentation provided for someone who isn't well versed in programming to make it work.
I intended to install this theme, play around with it, then buy the premium version. I will no longer be doing that; if the free version is broken I assume the paid version is too.
Slideshow doesnt work in 3.5.1.
There is no option available to set a tag / path for the image or the featured post to make it appear in the home page slideshow.
unfortunately there is no documentation regarding this.

Mackay, a former Scotland international, guided Cardiff to the Championship title in 2013 before being fired barely six months later by controversial chairman Vincent Tan.
He has since been unemployed, and was immediately linked with the Eagles job upon Pulis's decision to walk away from Selhurst Park - not least due to his close relationship with Palace's Sporting Director Iain Moody, who was one of Mackay's key liutenants at Cardiff.
Pulis asked to leave Palace 48 hours before the start of the new Premier League campaign, reportedly after becoming frustrated at the club's failure to land summer transfer targets.
A number of names had been thrown into the hat as to whom would succeed the former Stoke City manager, with ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss Tim Sherwood widely tipped and Glenn Hoddle reportedly making an official application for the vacancy.
Sherwood was soon installed as the bookies' favourite and at one point on Tuesday betting was suspended on him being named as the new Eagles boss, but it is believed that disagreements over backroom staff led to the sacked Spurs man missing out. Mackay is now widely reported to be unveiled in the next few hours.
Mackay will now be faced with the task of securing Palace's top flight status following an opening day defeat to Arsenal.

AOAMaricopa: 1st doc appt & Delivering at Good Sam
Comments (3)
Horrible experience with them... they used to be MOGA. My Doc was Hebets. She is the worst! Not attentive at all. My baby stopped growing at 30 weeks and was delivered at 35 weeks Emergency C-section. She was ok, but even the nurses would tell me how lucky i was. I didn't think lucky, because she never paid attention to the signs and I could have lost my baby.2 hour wait to be seen, scheduled my U/S on a day the Tech wasn't in - and blamed ME! and my list could go on and on and on...
That said, everyone has a different experience. I wish you luck and just make sure you hold them accountable. DO NOT let them walk all over you. I was a FTM and had no idea what to expect. I thought what they did to me was normal. My second was so much better (not with them)!
I do have to say Erickson and Mayer were pretty good, but because I wasn't their patient, they would refer me to Hebets for some questions and I would never get my answers.

Not using base-36 results in longer strings (bandwidth). It doesn't save a lot, but still; I'm sending a _lot_ of small AJAX/Comet messages and I got to keep the overhead wrt. HTTP headers as low as possible. PS: I think the only thing that'll truly increase the randomness in this context is increasing the number of octets read from /dev/urandom. Adding more "character types" or increasing the set of characters doesn't matter!


text: Hello guys. I am pretty new to competitive battling, just started 2 weeks ago. I've been doing some battles in PO and realized i was having the most fun with Monotype battles. So i decided to build an Electric (which is one of my favourite types) Monotype team. Please share your thoughts with me, so i can improve my team. Thanks in advance! Electrode @ Damp Rock Trait: Aftermath EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Rain Dance - Thunder - Explosion - Toxic Electrode is my lead Pokémon. He is basically there to set up rain and hit hard if possible. Thanks to its awesome speed, it can pretty much outspeed almost every pokemon, except choice scarf users. Explosion is there to go boom when i know i won't survive another attack or won't be able to switch in again due to entry hazards. Toxic is a filler move, didn't know what to use instead of it but it has been working well for me, especially against Shedinja. Zapdos @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 248 HP / 236 SDef / 24 Spd Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Thunder - Roost - Toxic - Substitute Zapdos is a must for every MonoElectric team in my opinion. It can play very different roles and i chose to use it as a staller. This is why it has Pressure over Volt Absorb. The main idea is poisoning the opposing pokemon, and SubRoosting. Thanks to its natural bulk, Zapdos can take a few hits and Roost off the damage. Thunder is its only attacking move with perfect accuracy, if my Electrode did its job well. Rotom (Rotom-W) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 248 HP / 28 SAtk / 232 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Volt Switch - Hydro Pump - Pain Split - Will-O-Wisp Here is my Rotom Wash form. This is a specially defensive set. It can also cripple physical attackers with WoW and get the hell out of there with Volt Switch. Hydro Pump in rain has a 270 BP and is a great way to deal with Ground types. Pain Split gives it the needed recovery. Manectric (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Lightningrod EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Overheat - Thunder - Hidden Power [Rock] - Volt Switch Behold the mighty Manectric. If i can manage to get hit by an Electric attack with this guy, it may even win me the game. He has Choice Scarf, which allows him to outspeed everything except faster Choice Scarf users (and maybe Quick Feet Jolteon, but who even uses it?), so he is also a great revenge killer. With his base 105 Special Attack, it can hit hard with Thunder or switch out with Volt Switch if it faces a stiff competition. Overheat helps getting rid of Grass types and HP Rock is great for countering Fire types. (Volcarona!) Electivire (M) @ Expert Belt Trait: Motor Drive EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Wild Charge - Ice Punch - Brick Break Electivire is my physical attacker. Earthquake for hitting Steel types hard and Ice Punch is for hitting Ground types hard. Wild Charge is its main STAB attack and Brick Break is there for countering Normal and Ice types. I use Brick Break over Cross Chop because i really hate it when Cross Chop misses. Considering Electivire's poor Defense stat, missing a Cross Chop could really hurt Electivire. Magnezone @ Light Clay Trait: Magnet Pull EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 160 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Volt Switch - Reflect - Hidden Power [Fire] - Light Screen This guy is my dual screener. Given the opportunity, Magnezone steps in and sets up screens. Thanks to its Magnet Pull ability and HP Fire, it is a great counter against Scizor, Ferrothorn and Forretress. Volt Switch is great for leaving the arena and letting a harder hitter in.

HOUSTON (AP) - Defense attorneys are opposing a prosecutors' request to delay an order granting Texas billionaire R. Allen Stanford a bond that would free him until he is tried on charges he swindled investors out of $7 billion.
In a written motion responding to a prosecution motion, defense attorney Dick DeGuerin asked U.S. District Judge David Hittner to uphold a ruling a day earlier granting the accused financier a $500,000 bond. Hittner is presiding over Stanford's case.
Prosecutors argue Stanford is a flight risk but DeGuerin said those claims are overexaggerated and his client doesn't want to flee but clear his name.

The worst U.S. drought in decades is showing little signs of easing as farmers close out their corn harvests and pivot toward growing winter wheat that's now struggling in the dry conditions.
The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor update released Thursday shows that more than roughly 62 percent of the land in the lower 48 states is experiencing some degree of drought.
The federal government says farmers have harvested 87 percent of the nation's corn crop and 80 percent of its soybeans.
Farmers had planted 81 percent of the winter wheat crop as of Monday. Only half of the crop has emerged, which is 7 percentage points lower than average.

I was original scheduled to stay at the Forum for several nights in September 2012, but checked out after the first night. This is an older property & not difficult to walk to from the Estacio Sants train station. Upon entry into the room there was a heavy deodorizing spray smell. I opened the window to air out the room. That night I noticed the room air is damp & has a moldy smell (with A/C on). This was also the case in the second hotel I checked into so it must be a by-product of the local climate. However, what is unacceptable is the tub wall corners had several areas of black mold & very noticeable. I was able to sprayed one area down with alcohol & easily wipe it off. The room cleaner could have done the same.

Amarillo Mayor Debra McCartt said Monday she may have been wrong when she asked the City Commission to amend a city ordinance that requires organizations to let the public know before taking to the streets to solicit donations.
McCartt originally said the money would be better used going straight to the charity. But after talking to police, McCartt said she may have been wrong as police feel the ordinance helps cut down on people who solicit funds for non-legitimate causes.
The ordinance, passed in 2001, requires anyone who is going to be in the community asking for donations to obtain a $400 permit - $100 goes to the city and $300 pays for a legal notice to be published with the dates, times and locations of where participants will be.
"The ordinance came about at that time because the city was inundated with people standing in the intersections going car to car seeking donations," City Manager Alan Taylor said. "We really didn't have anything to prevent it at that time. Not only was it an issue for people soliciting constantly, it also was a safety issue. These people were at these intersections and getting in the way of cars and there was a real concern that someone was going to get hit or run over."
Taylor said city officials researched how other cities dealt with the problem and found they had similar ordinances. On Tuesday, commissioners will discuss amending the fee to just $100. On Monday, though, McCartt said she was re-thinking her stand on the ordinance.
"The police feel that the fee cuts down on people being out in traffic and people soliciting funds who shouldn't," she said.
The ordinance has other criteria for those soliciting donations, including only one solicitation per calendar year, soliciting for no more than three consecutive days from 9 a.m. to one hour before sunset at the locations they designate, proof of liability insurance in the minimum amount of $1 million and written proof that the organization is a charitable organization.
The person soliciting also has to be at least 18 years of age and named in the paperwork. Those soliciting have to wear orange and yellow vests, as well as use traffic cones.
Members of the Khiva Shriners brought the ordinance to McCartt's attention.
Shriner Chief Rabban Rit Christian said Shriners collect money once a year for the Shrine Hospital in Houston. He said the organization usually collects between $15,000 and $18,000 and all of the money collected goes toward transporting a child and a parent to the hospital for the child's care.
Christian said the $300 could help pay for patient care.
"We just felt like the ordinance is taking money from the charity itself," he said. "We feel like that's a better use of that money than paying a city fee."
But Corp. Jerry Neufeld of the Amarillo Police Department said the ordinance has weeded out non-legitimate organizations soliciting for money.
"I feel like it's definitely cut down on the solicitors that we've had. When there's a little more of an expense to it, it culls out some of the non-legitimate organizations," Neufeld said. "But without a doubt, it has made a big difference in the amount of people we've seen out there. The ones who do the legitimate solicitations, I think it is worthwhile to them."

From School Library Journal
Gr 7-9--Little will be learned about the history of ancient Rome from this polemical exposition of right-wing, libertarian philosophy. Maybury focuses more on the perceived evils of 20th-century governments than on a description of the Roman world. He attributes all the economic and political problems of today's society to the persistence of the ``Roman disease'' of imperial government and he faults teachers and politicians for failing to understand the pervasive influence of the ``Roman model'' over the centuries. In the form of chatty letters from ``Uncle Eric'' to ``Chris,'' the author inveighs against this Roman model of strong government that has led directly, he says, to Hitler, Mussolini, Zhirinovsky's rhetoric in Russia, and the chaotic conditions of Eastern Europe today. And yet, in a twisted bit of historical reasoning, he blames the evils of the anarchic Dark Ages of early Europe on the collapse of that very Roman system of government and law. The model the world should follow, according to Maybury, is ``common law,'' which is vaguely (and mistakenly) said to have originated in the Roman Republic before the growth of the Empire, and which is summed up in two basic natural laws--personal integrity and respect for property. These tenets of individualism are all that is needed, he says, to create true civilization and economic prosperity. The author supports this claim with maps, occasional quotations from the Founding Fathers, and a bibliography that lists his own writings and a few standard but dated history books about ancient Rome. Libraries can, and should, offer different political viewpoints, but this book is neither well-reasoned political science nor fact-based history. It's just propaganda.

Dog's death can bring some good
Published: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
The death of a Saluda family's dog at the hands of a Cookeville, Tenn., police officer carries a lesson for all police departments: Use a little common sense when making traffic stops.
As everyone not living under a rock must know by now, General Patton, a mixed-breed pit bull belonging to James and Pamela Smoak and their son, Brandon, was shot dead during a New Year's Day traffic stop on Interstate 40. Police stopped the family because they mistakenly thought the Smoaks were suspects in a robbery that never happened.
The Smoaks were on their way back from a holiday vacation in Nashville, Tenn., when James Smoak pulled away from a Cookeville gas station after accidentally leaving his wallet on top of the car. As the Smoaks drove down the interstate, another motorist called 911 to report that cash was flying from a speeding car.
A short time later, Tennessee state troopers pulled the Smoaks over. A videotape shows family members kneeling beside their car, handcuffed, as police officers point weapons at them. Then the tape shows General Patton jumping out of the car, tail wagging, and running toward Cookeville police officer Eric Hall, who backs up and fires his shotgun, killing the dog.
Hall said the dog was charging toward him, growling and acting in an aggressive manner. Moments later Hall and the other officers learned there had been no robbery.
The Smoaks have filed complaints with the law enforcement agencies involved. An internal investigation by the Cookeville Police Department found that Hall acted properly, but the glare of national publicity ensures that won't be the end of it.
Media coverage has spurred Tennessee legislators and Gov. Don Sundquist, who steps down Saturday, to call the Smoaks to apologize and promise a thorough investigation of the incident.
The Smoaks have won sympathy from across the country. And the couple say their reason for doing interviews is to prevent a similar incident from happening.
"The country folks' term for it is `sweeping under the rug' and that's what we've got to prevent," James Smoak said.
Police understandably must act with caution and be prepared when they encounter circumstances out of the ordinary, but they must temper suspicion with good judgment.
Despite the fact that no robbery had been reported, a call about loose money from a speeding car somehow grew into a scenario of dangerous felons with a vicious dog fleeing from a robbery. That defies common sense and good judgment.
At a time when the war against terrorism is threatening our personal privacy and eroding our civil rights, the strange case of the botched felony stop is a lesson all law enforcement departments should appreciate. If nothing else good comes from the episode, perhaps that will.

Mediterranean Diet Pyramid
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Mediterranean diet. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2015.
The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid is a nutrition guide that was developed by Oldways, the Harvard School of Public Health, and the World Health Organization in 1993. It summarizes the Mediterranean Diet pattern of eating, suggesting the types and frequency of foods that should be enjoyed every day.
The diet is closely tied to areas of olive oil cultivation in the Mediterranean region. The pyramid, structured in light of current nutrition research and representing a healthy Mediterranean diet, is based on the dietary patterns of Crete, Greece and southern Italy circa 1960 at a time when the rates of chronic disease were among the lowest in the world, and adult life expectancy was among the highest, even though medical services were limited. These findings were established in large part by scientist Ancel Keys.
The pyramid is divided into daily, weekly, and monthly frequencies, but does not recommend serving sizes.[1]
Research suggests that the Mediterranean diet consumption pattern promotes good health and longevity. Studies linking the Mediterranean diet and decreased risk of illnesses such as lung disease and Alzheimer's disease, as well as protection against allergies and asthma have been published.

The world's largest sperm bank has just set a no-redheads policy by banning all red-haired donors from their gene pool. Well, we're not down with that kind of ginger bashing, even if clients routinely prefer dark-haired donors. In response, here's Moviefone's list of the hottest redheaded actors in Hollywood.
Apparently, most women want the men fathering their children to have dark hair, so the world's most famous sperm bank has nixed all redheaded donors. Tall, dark and handsome is all very well, but would you honestly turn down Robert Redford in his prime or that hot doc from 'Grey's Anatomy?' We think not! Bring on the gingers we think (or already know) would make great pops.

Interesting play. Definitely in the 'value range'. Good luck on it. I'll monitor. As a highly spec play I bought TTGH in the 40 cent range and dumped in the upper 60s. Also bought some MCLD at $1.15. Those are my most recent moves......Good luck to you and to all.....
picked up another 1400 sh. ALGI today @11.21What is it about MCLD that you like?

What' s the magic behind mature women' s bras ?If like me you used to "enjoy" browsing lingerie catalogs for seniors ladies in your early days, you probably know the answer ;)
This blog is meant to be an updated source of links and pics of women from 40 to 60 and over wearing bras and eventually showing their sweet, tender, warm boobs.

The winner of Survivor: The Australian Outback" has logged another adventure: her first tandem parachute jump.
Tina Wesson, winner of the $1 million prize last May on the CBS reality TV show, was a guest Wednesday of the Army's Golden Knights parachute demonstration team.
Wesson and her instructor, who was strapped to her back, had about 30 seconds of free fall before the parachute opened at 5,000 feet.
It went so quickly, I didn't have enough time to think about it,'' she said. The rush of wind was so fast, I could hardly breathe.''
