The staff here are incredibly knowledgble! We went during a quiet time and they gave us a lot of attention and were quite flexible. We did everything thoroughly and we easily spent 2 hours here. I got the combined admission here with the Museum of Transportation (across the parking lot) for $12. Great deal for easily 4 hours of museum...
This center is a great historical learning center of prehistoric mammals and how they are discovered. I recommend this for any tourist or local to see at least once.
Weren't too many visitors on the day I went, so got an excellent personal tour by one of the staff. Some interesting videos that put everything into context as well.
Was interesting, saw a short film was very educational wish they had more to show as far as exhibits, understand it may not be busy as it is a small town but was a nice quick visit.
Not easy to visit without a car, the Centre, operated by Yukon Tourism and Culture, opened our eyes to the existence of the remains of ice-age mammals in the Yukon, and should not be missed. In fact, at least half a day should be put aside to grasp the unique life in Beringia, the name given to the region encompassing...
The Beringia was oh my gosh fantastic! It was a great experience, very knowledgeable staff, interactive exhibits and great videos that matched the information given in the centre. They have interpretive trails leading from the parking lot to the centre. It was close to the airport and it shared the same driveway as the museum of transportation.
wow...what an amazing museum run by enthusiastic staff !! a must visit for young and old. The movies are very interesting and suitable for most ages.
Incredible place, well set up, great displays and excellent staff. If you go to no other museum in town, this is the one not to miss. Really brings home just how easy it is to get animals and people across the continents. Spent a few hours here and could easily have spent more, but it stopped raining....
This place has great exhibits and movies. A must for anyone wanting to know about the ancient land bridge that helped people and animals populate North America.
Guides and staff extremely knowledgeable and proud of their facility - as they should be. I was so thrilled at what I leaned here . The information about the last ice age in this area enhanced every other activity that I did on my trip to Whitehorse as it gave such an excellent context to the area.

setting af target
Jan 29, 2014
I have the Olympus Em1 camera and using the adapter attachment which is utilizing my older E1 four third system lenses.
I understand the single target operation being the single focus area. However, how is the camera focusing when using the group target and all targets?
For example in group target there are nine points of focus. Are all those points within 100% focus or is there a gradual drop off from the camera's selection point?
I am assuming that if using All Targets I will obtain equal focus overall

This review is from: Citizen Nighthawk Eco-Drive Pilot Watch Mens Watch BJ7000-52E
Pros: Sturdy consturction, stainless, very nice braclet. Has the European engraved back!!!!! This is a European, Asia produced watch, so it does not have the 'Nighthawk' brand on the watch face. Watches made in the US have the brand and a laser engraved back.
Cons: Lettering is very small on the index ring. Instruction manual is not detailed enough to understand the use of the slide rule. Go to YouTube to figure out how to use the slide ruleREAD FULL REVIEW

Losing a loved one hurts, whether (s)he is human, furred, feathered or

Secrets of the Season Reward Fall Travelers
When Yosemite National Park turns the corner on autumn, a colorful show, featured only for a limited engagement, comes clearly into view. Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite celebrates the season with special values on lodging and packages that enhance the escape.
Autumn is Yosemite's biggest secret, and Tenaya Lodge, the all-season Yosemite hotel set two miles from [k1] the South Gate to Yosemite National Park, is your base camp for experiencing its splendor. It's when Yosemite returns to a natural state of grace. A calm new energy flows into the park, offering a chance to come up for air and appreciate details that seem so elusive during summer's rush.
It starts with amazing light and crystal clear air that infuses every suddenly-quiet corner of the park.
There's a new quality of light, and since Yosemite is such a scenic place, light definitely matters. Black oaks and their glowing yellow leaves ignite El Capitan Meadow with color. The view from Glacier Point, a cloudless blue sky above, can seem to go on forever. Enormous, rust-barked skyscrapers that stand side-by-side as the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, just a couple of miles up the road from Tenaya Lodge.
With superb weather, fewer people and more animals along the trails, hiking, mountain biking and photo safaris are spectacularly in season during the fall. Tenaya Lodge offers the Yosemite Park Pass Package from $159 and the Big Trees Tour Package from $189.
Autumn is also a great time to recharge and reconnect with friends, and for that, Tenaya Lodge's Bro-Man's Vacation is just the ticket. With rates starting at $139, Tenaya Lodge makes it affordable for you and your wingman to do some mountain biking, hiking, golfing, fly fishing, and more. After filling the getaway with some quality guy time (and a few cocktails at Jackalope's Bar & Grill), there may even be a chance to sneak into Ascent Spa at Tenaya Lodge for a rejuvenating sports massage.
New at Tenaya's Ascent is the "Spa 120" package. Available year-round, Spa 120 pairs a deluxe king or double room with 120 minutes of spa time, any way you like. Talk about the luxury of choice! During your stay, take any combination of 30-, 60- or 90-minute treatments that equal 120 minutes. And since all that wellness is bound to stoke your appetite, Spa 120 includes a 10% dining discount valid during your stay, just to help you keep up with all that new energy you're going to have after your "Ascent."
Yosemite's new-found quietude suits romantic getaways to a "T," and Tenaya Lodge comes through with its Fall in Love and Escape to Romance packages. Fall in Love features champagne and chocolate covered strawberries at check-in, and then sets you off on a romantic nature hike together. Later, after dinner by candlelight at Embers, more ambiance: turn-down service includes a bed covered in rose petals and chocolate kisses. Taking it to a new level? Upgrade to Tenaya Lodge's Escape to Romance package, including a Spa Suite with jetted tub and a highly romantic Chateaubriand dinner for two. Too in love to leave? The weekend Sleep in Sundays Package fits the bill with Deluxe accommodations, in-room breakfast for two, and late check out at 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

The lodge, set adjacent to Yosemite National Park's South Gate at an elevation of 5,288 feet, offers 297 rooms, suites and mountain cottage accommodations.

What could you truly say to me, without interfering your feel,
what could be truly great?, in this world that I hate,
what is so special?, in your words of laughter,
why are you pushing me away?, cant you sense my pain of me?,
why is the world so strange?, without the presence of our rase,
why Im I typing this?, havent I noticed none of people here,
Im alone, and confuised, what is my perpose?, what are the ruls?.
If I brake one of them, what if he loves me, as I am, why must I change,
what I must become , to accept myself, to accept my word.
Why we are so many, and yet I cant talk, to any of you, without my comfort in zone,
I am afraid, and want to heal, heal of this addiction, that cant set me free,
Please help me, if someone is reading this poem, please help me,
beacuse I cant live like this, anymore.

HEART OF THE CITY: Southport Elementary wins a couple of WUSD scholastic sports titles
Summer has started, graduations are done and it's time for congratulations to all the graduates. Best of luck in the future! Parents: you, too, can take a bow. You made it so far!
Southport takes a double:
Southport Elementary School won both the Washington Unified School District Boys Flag Football Championship and the Girls Volleyball Championship last week.
I didn't get a chance to go to the football playoffs but I did make it to the terrific volleyball championships at Riverbank School. I'd like to give a special note of thanks to Carmelita Goldsby, vice principal at Southport Elementary, who attended the games and supported her school.
The final four started with Westmore Oaks squaring off against pre-tournament favorite Bridgeway Island.
Bridgeway Island won the first game 25-17 and things seemed to be going true to form. But Westmore gutted it out and roared back to win game 2, 25-20. The match was on.
Bridgeway fought for their lives and eventually won a great match in game three, 16-14. At one point, the volleyball was such a high quality there was a combined 11-hit back-and-forth rally to decide one point.
Jasmine Anderson, Liliana Flores,Evelyn Bredkhin and Ashley Potts and former United States Youth Volleyball League standout Mallory Cypress were all sited for great play for Westmore Oaks.
Xavionna Bryant-Davis, Sofie Russ, Avi Torres were great playmakers for Bridgeway Island taking them to familiar championship game territory..
In the other semifinal, Southport sought to avenge their earlier season loss to a tough Elkhorn squad and came out blasting.
Southport won 2 games in a row to take the match 26-24 and 25-11 to setup the Championship vs. Brideway Island the next night.
Itzel Geronimo, Diana Rocha, Jessica Urbina were great players for Elkhorn.
Michelle Trussel, Ashley davis, Mikala Drewry led the Southport charge
Southport took their momentum into the two-night championship schedule, defeating Bridgeway Island 25-12 and 25-18 to win the championship in 2013.
A couple of weeks ago I happened to be in the cities of Lincoln and Rocklin and, as usual, surrounded by West Sac softball players at championship tourneys.
First it was Ally Snyder, Hannah Wilover, Bella Munoz Alaina Castillio, Amarissa Medina, Elizabeth Cafaro, Jordan Criswell,Kylie Myers.
Then the following week at the Sac Softball complex it was Meghan Mckeever, Anjelica Blackmer, Melissa Corona, Crystal Diaz, all playing for a variety of teams — the Pride, Hittterz, Attack and Bandits Fury. It is especially nice to see them in the championship awards presentations. I bet not a weekend goes by that some West Sac softball player is being recognized for a softball championship somewhere in this area, in California or in the country.Great players!
Another softball note: on the two teams this year in the NCAA Womens Softball Champion ship played by Tennessee and Oklahoma 12 players were from California.
I also watched agame in the Sac Joaquin High School Softball Championships, and there were our own Alaina Guerra and Meghan Mckeever playing for Christian Brothers.
Congratulations to Walt James of the Centennial Rotary Club of West Sacramento for being named the District 5180 Rotarian of the Year. Out of 40 clubs and about 1,600 Rotarians Walt was accorded this great honor.
Also, congratulations to Beverly Sandeen of the Centennial Club for being recognized by Mayor Christopher Cabaldon for her contributions to the community.
Have a great summer!

Driver in gang killing denied parole
Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig reports that on Tuesday, parole commissioners denied parole to 32-year-old convicted murderer Ramiro Acevedo, Jr.. The hearing took place at the California State Prison in Soledad, California where Acevedo is serving a 15-to-life sentence in prison.
According to the District Attorney's office, Acevedo was a member of West Sacramento's "Broderick Boys" gang who participated in a 1999 killing. Said a press release from the D.A.:
On August 26th, 1999, Acevedo and fellow Broderick Boy Manuel Trujillo went to the home of 18-year-old Julio Robledo to retaliate for a shooting where Trujillo was allegedly targeted. Acevedo sat in the car while Trujillo went up to the house with a shotgun and fatally shot Robledo in the chest. Others were seriously injured in the shooting.
Acevedo received the 15-to-life sentence in a deal with prosecutors to testify against Trujillo, who was convicted by a jury of first degree murder as well as two counts of attempted murder. The parole commission praised recent efforts Acevedo has made in prison to focus his life in more positive directions, but were swayed by the serious circumstances of the case as well as Acevedo's inadequate parole plans.
Supervising Deputy District Attorney Garrett Hamilton represented the District Attorney's Office at the hearing. Victim Service's Program Manager Laura Valdes attended the hearing with the mother of the victim Julio Robledo. Valdes said it was an honor and humbling to assist and support Robledo's mother at the hearing. "This was extremely difficult for her," said Valdes, according to the D.A.'s office. "She told me in Spanish that being at the hearing was fulfilling and she felt her words had an impact on the decision made by the commissioners."
District Attorney Jeff Reisig applauded the success of the Parole Lifer Unit and praised the decision of the commissioners. "The commissioners' decision was thoughtful and measured," Reisig stated in a press release. "Also, we cannot ignore the dedicated efforts of Mr. Hamilton, who made the case on behalf of this office, and Ms. Valdes, who helped the victim through this heartwrenching experience."
Acevedo will not be eligible for parole again until 2016.

The text suggests that Hawthorn viewed women accepted by society as impulsive and weak, and as people who can only be strengthened when they are shown the gravity of their actions and punished for them.

The author of
The Dante Club returns with his sophomore novel, set in mid 19th century
Baltimore and Paris. If you're partial to historical mysteries and especially if
you're a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, this is one that might be of interest.
Personally, I found it good but not great. Towards the middle, when the plot rambled a little, I recollect thinking that I hoped it would be worth it - and overall it was - but it wasn't a book that kept me up at night! Judge for yourself by reading an excerpt at BookBrowse.
If you do decide to read The Poe Shadow in full you'd be wise to first read/re-read Poe's 3 short stories featuring Auguste Dupin (The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter).
Also, Poe fans (indeed fans of high quality historical thrillers per se) will want to take a look at The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard in ...
Did you know?
In his extremely popular children's books, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) pays tribute to Poe - the orphan children's guardian is named Poe, and his children are Edgar and Allan.

A British soldier has been killed in Afghanistan during a mission to rescue a senior police officer who had been abducted by the Taliban.
The soldier from 3rd Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment, was hit by small arms fire during the operation in the Nahr-e-Seraj district of Helmand and died at the scene. A British comrade was also injured in the mission which successfully freed Abdul Walid. The death came just hours after a soldier from 1st Battalion, The Royal Welsh – who was killed in the same area – was named. Cpl Michael Thacker was shot while manning an observation post. The latest fatalities take the total number of UK deaths to 418.
The rescued policeman, Deputy Commander Abdul Walid, had proved effective against the Taliban, according to local officials. This made him a target for the kidnapping from a checkpoint near the village of Payan. He was freed after a siege and the storming of a compound by British and Afghan troops, but the insurgents managed to escape. It was while the militants were being pursued that the British soldier was reported to have been killed.
The office of the governor of Helmand, Gulab Mangal, issued a statement saying: " We praise the sacrifices and bravery of the British forces that they rescued an Afghan police officer and sacrificed themselves."

Some feds miss out on pay raise as salary compression worsens
Some furloughed feds breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing news from the Office of Personnel Management that the federal government would reopen Thursday.
The House and Senate had agreed on a deal late Wednesday night to reopen the government after a 16- day shutdown, and President Barack Obama signed the bill into law early Thursday.
The news raised some critical questions for federal employees. With agency websites down and no update from OPM until early Thursday, feds asked if they were supposed to work or not.
"So do we go in? My server is blocked so no use getting in if they haven't reset the email and data servers!" Julie Kenkel Yates commented on a Federal News Radio Facebook post.
Others are still cynical, pointing out that the measure only temporarily funds agencies.
"Only till Jan. Our government really does not have its act together….maybe they all need to go back to school," Randy Horton commented.
"So since this is a short term deal, this means we are going to be furloughed again come January 15th?" Mirena Heigh commented on Facebook.
"Snd then a replay of the whole drama in Jan/Feb and on and on till they someday start doing budgets instead of continuing resolutions," P Scott Schlitte commented.
During the shutdown, Federal News Radio invited federal employees to share their thoughts.
Now that it's over, we still want to hear from you.
What concerns you most about going back to work? What are your thoughts about the shutdown? Tell us what you think via Facebook, Twitter, email or the comments on this page.

And now, here are your comments:

It is still a man's world at the top. According to a European Commission report, women remain heavily outnumbered by men in the boardrooms of the largest listed companies in all EU countries – the most recent figures show that fewer than 14 per cent of board members are female. Creating a pipeline of talented women to redress the imbalance at senior level is now seen as an important goal in the UK, and elsewhere.
An independent review led by Lord Davies in 2011 estimated that at the current rate of change it would take more than 70 years to achieve gender balance on the boards of the UK's largest 100 companies. A year later, there are modest signs of progress. Yet for this imbalance to continue levelling out internationally, today's generation of women need to equip themselves as effectively as possible for the challenge of breaking through the glass ceiling.
The MBA has a vital role to play in this respect, yet there are still many more men than women applying and studying for one. According to the Association of MBAs (Amba), which accredits business schools worldwide, only 31 per cent of students enrolling globally in 2010 were female. In the UK, applications to Amba schools were slightly higher, with around a third of them made by women.
So why aren't candidates coming forward in greater numbers? Sharon Bamford, Amba's chief executive and MBA herself, points to a major potential conflict. "The average age on a full-time MBA at Amba-accredited schools is 30 and 33 for a part-time course. This can often coincide with a decision to start a family and take a career break."
The MBA is an expensive course if you are self-funding and cost can be another inhibiting factor. Cass Business School in the City of London is one of several making determined efforts to attract more women applicants, partly by increasing the number of its Women in Business scholarships. "By expanding this scholarship scheme we aim to help highly experienced and openly ambitious female applicants to accelerate their careers," explains Sionade Robinson, director of the full-time MBA.
She points to the fact that the gender ratio on the full time course is now a healthy 45 per cent women to 55 per cent male students.
"We've taken a number of successful recruitment and marketing steps to debunk the myth that MBA programmes are male-dominated," adds Robinson's colleague Erica Hensens, who oversees the Cass MBA programmes. "These initiatives include holding specific events targeted at female applicants, such as our MBA Women as Leaders seminars, which examine the dynamics of leadership from a female perspective."
Doina Gudila, 37, originally from Romania, is one of the recent recipients of the Cass scholarship. Gudila emphasises that, having failed to get a loan, she could not have taken up her place without the £17,000 award.
She made the decision to apply to Cass after sitting in on a sample class in which they analysed Madonna's strategy to achieve stardom and the lessons from her approach that can be applied to business. "Having been working in the London hospitality industry for some time, I felt stuck and my hope is that the MBA will give me a chance to spread my wings and move to a new industry," she explains.
Creating a better balance between men and women on the MBA not only sets a good example to the commercial world, it can also have a positive impact on the learning process itself.
"My faculty report that the quality and richness of discussion has greatly improved since more female students have been admitted," says Erica Hensens. "Women appear to be more comfortable in considering a range of options before they take a final position and this is what business needs to replicate."
Gudila endorses this view. "We do a lot of work in small study groups of eight, generally with at least three women and it's amazing to see the amount of ideas that can be generated between us."
Richard Samuel, 40, chose to study for an executive MBA at Cass after actively looking for an MBA with a good gender balance. "Coming from the male-dominated construction and real estate world, I've certainly noticed the difference. In my field, conversations before decisions are made tend to be curt. Having a greater mix of men and women on the MBA forces you to be much more open," he says.
This proactive approach to redressing the gender balance could clearly be replicated elsewhere. As a mandatory entry test used by many business schools, the take-up rate of the GMAT exam is a useful barometer of trends. Dave Wilson, CEO of the Graduate Management Admissions Council, which administers the GMAT, points to the fact that women sat for a record 106,000 of the total exams taken globally, accounting for 41 per cent of all students heading for business schools.
"This is the closest female to male ratio ever seen," explains Wilson. "The largest number of women taking the GMAT in 2011 were from southeast and east Asia. In China, 64 per cent of those who sat the test were women. This contrasts with a 34 per cent female take-up in Europe. Many of these young Asian women are applying to management programmes all over the world and a good gender balance in a school's intake is likely to prove much more attractive to them."
GMAC's research shows that among women who do make it to management education, satisfaction rates are high. In global terms, 84 per cent of women who took a business degree report that it has helped them with their career progression.
This certainly comes as no surprise to Amba's Bamford. "In talking to women students all around the world, I find there is a consistent theme. Having equal status among a cohort of high-performing, ambitious individuals from many countries has not only given them the tools and the vocabulary to take their place in the boardroom but also greater confidence as their career progresses."

I Bought Another Rusted Suburban 6,2 Diesel
I got this rusted 1988 suburban cheap, because of a blown tranny. The engine is really good, thats why I bought it.
"Barn Find" First Start: 1982 Olds Delta 88 5.7L /350 c.i. Diesel
Today, August 2, 2014, was the first time anyone tried to start this car since March, 1989. For 25 years (not 35; my head math failed me in the excitement) the front end has been up on blocks and torn down to the steering knuckles. When we recently got a crack at it we tracked down and installed the missing parts, put in new oil, a new fuel filter, and new batteries, and turned the key...
First Start Of The 6,2 Diesel In My '81 Caprice
Have been working on this conversion for over a month now, working on it whenever I had spare time. All I'm missing now is the Exhaust and some wiring. Engine is from a 1988 Suburban, I have a video of this engine running in that car. The car had a 350 Olds diesel in it.

The recruiting path down to South Florida is a beaten trail.
For years, college coaches have come from all pockets of the country (and the state itself) to stake a claim in one of the country's most productive recruiting grounds.
In the 2009 class, the cupboards were not empty, but they certainly weren't brimming as they had been in years past. While there were some highly-regarded recruits, like Pahokee quarterback Nu'Keese Richardson, it lacked the depth and star power that recruiting fans are accustomed to.
The class that preceded it, the class of 2008, was particularly deep. Miami Northwestern and Booker T. Washington each churned out college-ready prospects like University of Miami linebacker Sean Spence and defensive back Brandon Harris.
The University of Florida dipped into the pot as well, snatching Pahokee cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who had an impressive debut season for the Gators.
According to Tom Lemming, the 2010 recruiting class in South Florida will be even stronger than the 2008 class.
"(The University of ) Miami should live off these guys," Lemming said after a recent tour around the southern part of the Sunshine State. "I don't think they have to travel 40 miles. Go to Lake Okeechobee and Pahokee. They should have a top 10 class just by staying home."
One player that many schools have an eye on is De'Joshua Johnson. The Pahokee wide receiver is appearing on Miami's radar, though several other schools are currently courting him. He is expected to make a decision early in his senior campaign.
Another talent-rich school on the banks of Lake Okeechobee is Glades Central. Pahokee's rival school may not be as stocked with prospects as it sometimes is, but Glades Central still boasts star safety Travis Bell. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Bell is receiving Division I interest for his work in the secondary.
Down in the city of Miami, both Northwestern and Booker T. Washington are once again deep with recruits.
"Northwestern has the top nose guard in the state," Lemming said, referring to 5-11, 300-pound junior Todd Chandler, whom he described as a "ferocious player."
Chandler's value is especially high, according to Lemming, because defensive tackles are at a premium in this year's recruiting class. Along with the quarterback spot, it is one of the two weak positions in 2010.
Lemming was pleasantly surprised by teammate Corvin Lamb. The 5-11, 180-pound running back looked good on video and in person.
"He really impressed me on film and he really impressed us at the (U.S. Army All-American) combine in San Antonio," Lemming said. "He's very quick and very athletic."
Another member of the Bulls worth noting is offensive lineman Torrian Wilson, who stands at 6-4 and has great potential.
Across town, the Booker T. Washington Tornadoes got an added boost when standout receiver Ted Meline transferred after the season from Westlake.
"I watched him run routes," Lemming said. "He goes in and out of breaks very well, and shows sure hands. He'll be one of the most dynamic players in South Florida."
Booker T. Washington is also home to running back Eduardo Clements.
"He's a slasher with a little bit of power," Lemming said. "He's got good vision and can catch the ball out of the backfield.
Photo by Andres Bastidas
Eduardo Clements of Miami's Booker T. Washington is one of the region's top running backs for 2010.
Florida State fans like their chances early on with Clements, but Georgia is hoping to sway him toward Athens.
Perhaps underrated on the Tornadoes squad is Quinton Dunbar, who recently committed to the University of Miami. While some assume that Meline will step in and be the primary downfield target, Lemming thinks Dunbar may be equally dangerous.
"I think there's a question as who is the better receiver. Dunbar is that good."
Jose Jose, a massive offensive lineman, will also play on Saturdays.
Other recruits within city limits include Jakhari Gore from Columbus, who Lemming thinks could play running back or cornerback in college, and Jeffrey Godfrey, a quarterback at Central who projects to play in the secondary in college.
Up in Fort Lauderdale, defending national champion St. Thomas Aquinas is well-equipped to defend its title, and could be the most talented team in the country for a second straight season, according to Lemming.
"They may have as many as 15 Division I players," he said.
Highlighting the bunch is running back Gio Bernard, who impressed Lemming with his consistency. The fact that Aquinas played some stiff competition is also in his favor.
Also in the backfield is 5-11, 185-pound James White. White has 4.5 speed, according to Lemming, who said that some people think he is as good as Bernard.
Paving the way for the powerful duo of backs is Brandon Linder, one of the two best linemen in the state along with Bolles' Bruce Benedict.
Linder has a great frame at 6-6, 280 pounds. He can play anywhere on the line, including center. This makes him particularly enticing to college programs, Lemming said.
"Anyone who can play center in high school is a major plus. He'll be worth his weight in gold when colleges come after him."
Defensive backs Cody Riggs, Reynaldo Kirten, and Brian Robinson are all Division I-caliber players for the Raiders. Jermaine Barton (6-5, 270) is another candidate to play at the next level.
Arguably the biggest recruit on the team is also its newest addition. Cornerback Lamarcus Joyner transferred from Miami Southwest just a few weeks ago and joins an already ultra-talented Raider secondary.
"He's a terrific ball hog and a cover corner," Lemming said.
