A 26-year-old Scranton man was arraigned Thursday on charges related to the robbery of a Meadow Avenue bank at gunpoint Wednesday morning, then hours later threatening to kill the police officers trying to cajole him out of a Moosic motel room.
Shane Savage holed up in a room by himself at the Moosic Motor Inn, 4124 Birney Ave., for roughly four hours, threatened to kill the officers attempting to talk him into surrendering and at some point cut his own arm with a razor blade, authorities said Thursday during a news conference at Scranton Police Headquarters.
When Mr. Savage walked into the Wells Fargo bank at Meadow Avenue and River Street, displayed a revolver and demanded money shortly after 10 a.m., he was already a fugitive wanted by the state Board of Probation and Parole after he absconded in January, police said.
Mr. Savage was serving a parole term in relation to an assault charge.
After he fled the bank in a black Ford Taurus, investigators identified Mr. Savage as their primary suspect within an hour and went about locating him, said city police Detective James Pappas during the news conference.
"They were running - literally - from place to place to place," acting Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano said of investigators.
Over the course of the investigation, members of the FBI, state Board of Probation and Parole, U.S. Marshals Service and the Lackawanna County district attorney's office pieced together leads until finding Mr. Savage at the Moosic Motor Inn on Birney Avenue.
Authorities declined to comment on whether Mr. Savage had a gun during the ensuing four-hour standoff. The motel rooms adjacent to Mr. Savage's and a nearby diner were evacuated.
Once Mr. Savage surrendered after 10 p.m., he was hospitalized for what Detective Pappas described as a minor injury to his arm. On Thursday, he was charged with robbery, terroristic threats and reckless endangerment, among related charges, Chief Graziano said.
Later Thursday, investigators secured a search warrant for the Ford Taurus, which was discovered late Wednesday in the parking lot of the Petro truck stop off of Interstate 81 in Dupont, said Scranton police Detectives Capt. Al Leoncini.
Inside the car, investigators found what they believe is the gun Mr. Savage used during the robbery as well as the clothing he had on at the time. Also found in the car was the bag that held the money taken in the robbery, Capt. Leoncini said.
Though there was no money in the car, Capt. Leoncini said some of the stolen cash had been recovered elsewhere. He would not release the full amount Mr. Savage made off with during the robbery.
Detective Pappas described the investigation as ongoing and Chief Graziano said investigators are looking into the possibility that Mr. Savage had help in committing the robbery.
U.S. Marshal Martin Pane said while federal charges could be filed against Mr. Savage, as of Thursday it appeared the case would remain in the hands of city police and the Lackawanna County district attorney's office.
Mr. Savage remained in Lackawanna County Prison on $400,000 bail. His preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 22.

faithful. (1.) One of the sons of Shammai, of the children of Ezra (1 Chr. 4:20; comp. 17). (2.) The eldest son of David, by Ahinoam of Jezreel (1 Chr. 3:1; 2 Sam. 3:2). Absalom caused him to be put to death for his great crime in the matter of Tamar (2 Sam. 13:28, 29).
He mentions Alexander Yakobson and amnon Rubenstein; one could also include Ruth Gavison, Shlomo Avineri, and others.
In a single word, our attention is now turned to the father of both amnon and Tamar.
From its second name it may be Ovis amnon (Raos), or O. argal.
And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to amnon her brother.
amnon, the eldest son, was slain by young Absalom, who waited two years for an opportunity.
amnon confessed his passion, that he was in love with a sister of his, who had the same father with himself.
amnon regarded himself as the heir to the throne, and his fierce passions brought the first infamy into the family of David.
In the same way Tamar could have married her half-brother amnon, though they were both the children of David.
By a cunningly devised plot amnon succeeded in bringing the beautiful damsel into his chamber.
In spite of this it was counted both by Jonadab and amnon a suitable weapon for their purpose.

At our Village location.
Cromaine in the Village is a very special place to many residents and they have consistently communicated that it must stay and continue to be used. It is walking distance to several schools which is typically an ideal location. The 1927 building in particular is of lasting construction; the property the building is located on is owned by Cromaine and has never been on the property tax rolls (it was a school building before), so staying here means not occupying land that could bring taxes back into the community with new development.

No prisoners and plenty of tortoises
Trip Start
Apr 18, 2011
Trip End
Apr 08, 2012
Both Jambo, and the man with his plank of wood/ore made it to anchor near the island in one piece however.
I was travelling with two American tourists who weren't fussed to see the island; instead wanting to spend their morning snorkelling around the island. I am determined that my six months in Australia will be spent getting over my complete lack of confidence in the water (I'm fine swimming as long as I know my feet can touch the ground) so I merely dipped myself in and out of the sea again, realising that where we had dropped anchor was still too deep - and the coral would have made it impossible for me to rest my feet at the bottom anyway. When we did moor up on land, I left the two Americans to laze on the beach while I headed off to explore the island and find the tortoises.
Which wasn't hard, considering the island is only a kilometre long, and the tortoises are pretty huge.
Prison Island was never actually used as a prison base, even though it was intended as one, and the building was completed. However, a severe cholera outbreak in Egypt alerted the risk of islanders becoming infected - especially as Zanzibar was once part of the major trade routes. So it was decided that the island would house those infected, to prevent an outbreak on the mainland.
Today the island houses little more than beautiful white beaches that look out over crystal clear turquoise water that houses an assortment of corals, a few luxury cottages, a restaurant and library, and a colony of 106 giant tortoises.
The island itself bears little in terms of historical evidence, except for the coral walls of the old 'prison' building, a 19th century unidentified ruin and a few ornate wooden doorways. Instead you're invited to read the snippets of information dotted around the island which tells of the architects involved in the original building, the dates in which the island encountered changes, and the restoration project to date. Still, it makes for a pleasant and peaceful stroll around, with glimpses of the bright blue sea through gaps in the surrounding island walls as you amble along the pathways past forest and the sound of birds.
The tortoises seek comfort off the walkways and under the generous shades of the trees, along with a few peacocks. The tortoises today are the descendants of four giant tortoises that were gifted from Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles, presented to the British Regent in 1919. They're impressive looking creatures and with some over 125 years old, you wonder just how many visitors to the island they've put up with feeding them spinach and stroking the tops of their warm, cracked skin heads.
Back on the sand I had just enough time to dip myself into the sea for a swim (staying in shallow areas, obviously) before our boat driver reappeared from his rest and we made the trip back across the water, this time with fewer attempts at emptying the water in the boat as we travelled.
This afternoon was spent attempting to find a one way flight to Cape Town that doesn't cost the same as a return flight to London Heathrow: I'm understanding more why the few locals I've spoken to around South and East Africa have never been to other parts of Africa - it's shockingly expensive, and alternative options of getting around safely are limited still. I found a travel agent who is hopefully getting back to me tomorrow with a cost - although I'm not holding my breath that it will be prompt as his computer system wasn't loading and he uttered 'insh'allah' - a term that I hoped I had left behind hearing in the UAE. God willing indeed.
I ended the day with sugar cane juice - a local drink - and an Indian dish cooked up on the waterfront in Forodhani Gardens, an open-air street market that comes to life as the sun goes down over the sea. The sugar cane juice was great fun to watch being prepared - rather noisely by pressing the sugar cane through a hand-operated iron press. Ginger and lime is added along the way, squeezed in-between the cane as it's wrung through the press a few more times and the result is refreshing and tasty. It's all brilliantly cheap too; my meal and drink cost no more than 5,000 Tanzanian shillings. I think I'll return tomorrow for the 'Zanzibar pizza', which I've read is actually more of a chapati, and resmembles something like a spring roll. I'm always sold on trying new food.

Archives Wednesday, December 28, 2005 Looking Back
apocalyptic prognosticators had their usual great year.
SEERS. It's been an exciting and traumatic 12 months. So many things happened that it's doubtful any of us remembers them all. That's why we thought it would be a public service to review the more spectacular predictions of psychics and seers that came true in 2005 (h/t aspie, astrology.com, and other dogged futurists on the web.) For example, do you remember: 1. How sad it was that the shuttle was unable to land safely last summer? ("Colonel" Ed Dames) 2. The outbreak of a U.S. civil war so violent that it became like a continuous series of Waco/Ruby Ridge incidents? (time traveller John Titor and Brando Cano) 3. The long dreaded reestablishment of the draft by the war mongers in the Bush administration? (Sean David Morton and Hans King) 4. The deaths of Saddam Hussein (just before his trial) and Osama bin Laden? (Sylvia Browne and Hans King) 5. The numerous volcanic eruptions thoughout the year? (Gordon Michael Scallion) 6. How wonderful it was that Pope John Paul II was cured of his bout with illness in April? (Father Wingate and Hans King). 7. The manipulation of oil prices that prevented gas from rising more than $0.50/gal in 2005 despite the numerous terrorist attacks on U.S. cities? (Hans King) 8. The conviction of Michael Jackson for various crimes? (Brando Cano and Queen Mother) 9. How New York won the right to host the 2012 Olympics? That was way cool. (Sean David Morton) 10. And, oh yeah, how about the terrible stock market crash and the way George Bush left office before year end? (Kent Boxberger) Well, even if you don't remember all that, some of the stuff they predicted happened -- bad weather, continued evil deeds by the Bush administration, more deaths in Iraq, as well as ups and downs in the stock market and the economy. On the whole an impressive year for a set of folks who all failed utterly to predict 9/11. We tried to find more evidence of accurate 2005 predictions from solid performers like Psychic Fred, Kim O'Neill, Lona Holland, and Michelle Avanti, Grassy Knoll Predicitions, and Evelyn Hare, but they appear to have moved on already to the new year. If we can find out what the gang is foretelling for 2006, we'll be back at you with it soon. So you can get ready. For all the stuff that's certain to happen. Next year. |

Happy Valentine's Day, weirdos!
In honor of this special day, when couples fight over who spent the most on flowers and massage oils, we've expanded our "My Freaky Valentine" Spotify playlist. Now 30 songs deep and sexier than ever, this freaky mix of weird love songs features additional tracks by Suicide, Psychic TV, Busdriver, The Deviants, The Dead Brothers, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Johnny McGovern, DEVO, Smoota, Univore and our patron saint, GG Allin, wrapping things up with his classic baby-making ballad, "I Wanna Fuck Your Brains Out." It's all guaranteed to put that special someone in the mood—that mood being confused unease.
So fire up your Spotify player, or use the nifty embedded player below, and let's get physical. Happy V-Day, everyone!
Weirdify Playlist 9: Summer Freaks
It's been too long since we posted a new Weirdify playlist, don't you think? Let's make up for lost time with an extra long mix for your first of what will hopefully be many backyard summer shindigs. Fire up the grill and dig in, kids. Memorial Day is just around the corner.
1. Signmark feat. Osmo Ikonen, "Speakerbox." We'll kick things off with our favorite feel-good jam from the world's only (as far as we know) deaf Finnish rapper, Signmark. No, this song isn't actually the least bit weird, but you don't want to start your guests off with Caroliner, for Christ's sake. Let the poor people ease into it.
2. Here Come the Mummies, "Freak Flag." OK, now we're getting at least slightly weird, courtesy of Tennessee's most decomposed funk band. We'll have a Mothership connection in 3, 2, 1…
3. Parliament, "Rumpofsteelskin." If all you really know about George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic is "Give Up the Funk," you're probably wondering why we included them on the Weird List in the first place. This song should help clear that up.
4. That 1 Guy, "Funk Bean." Nearly as funky as a fully operational Mothership, Mike Silverman's Magic Pipe can summon Primus fans from miles around like a giant dog whistle. Even to non-Primus fans, it's pretty groovy. (Also, apologies to That 1 Guy for jacking the cover art to his album Packs a Wallop! for this playlist. Don't wallop us with your Magic Pipe, K?)
5. Fol Chen, "Cable TV." Because nothing says summer like a song about watching Pay-Per-View in a fleabag motel. Or does that say "meth deal"? Either way, it's got a beat and you can bop to it without spilling your margarita.
6. Hank3, "Six Pack of Beer." After much deliberation, we decided to spare you and your BBQ guests the mighty racket that is Hank3's cattlecore (that's cattle auctioneers set to speed metal, y'all) in favor of this pickin' and grinnin' ode to the beverage of choice at BBQs everywhere.
7. Bob Log III, "Shake a Little, Wiggle It and Jiggle It Too." The other great "III" on our Weird List, Bob Log III dresses up like a down-on-his-luck Evel Knievel and plays gutbucket slide-guitar blues, preferably while a willing young lass perches on his knee. And yes, he's our hero.
8. tUnE-yArDs, "My Country." This song from Merrill Garbus and her oddball, lo-fi jam band is perfect for Fourth of July parties. Sort of.
9. Dolchnakov Brigade, "Dating in Space." It's about time in the party for a little jam for the ladies, don't you think? This DEVO-esque electro-pop freakout from our favorite pseudo-Russian Brooklyn band is just the ticket for getting the girls moving, at least in a confused, slightly epileptic way. (Can you be only "slightly" epileptic? You can when Dolchnakov Brigade is playing.)
10. DEVO, "Beautiful World." Name-checking DEVO reminds us—every good party mix needs a little DEVO, don't you think? Also, is it DEVO or Devo? Discuss.
11. Yip-Yip, "Slime Shuns Sun Shine." Quick, say that song title ten times really fast. Now quick, try dancing to it. Which is harder? Discuss.
12. Waylander, "Re-Born to the Fight." We've neglected the headbangers at your little backyard shindig for far too long. A little Celtic metal should satiate their desire for something more rockin', while giving your other guests a chance to do a little jig and/or whiskey shots. Everybody wins.
13. The Misfits, "Teenagers From Mars." You might think the punk band most closely associated with Halloween is not a very appropriate choice for a summer-themed party mix. And you'd be right. But fuck it, we're throwing them in there anyway. Have another beer and roll with it.
14. The Flaming Lips, "Fryin' Up." Not the weirdest song the Lips ever did by a long shot, but it's got a good party-rock vibe and that lyric about "blowin' everything off on Monday," which seems appropriate. Plus, the title is a reference to fryin' burgers, right? Right?
15. The Upper Crust, "Eureka – I've Found Love." We continue the rock portion of this mix with a tender love song from our current Weird Band of the Week, the Boston-based AC/DC-meets-Marie-Antoinette awesomeness that is The Upper Crust. Bibo ergo sum! Look it up, motherfuckers.
16. Bang Camaro, "Pleasure (Pleasure)." Boston's other great novelty rock act (seriously, it's like no one there can just headbang without irony), Bang Camaro achieve that multi-tracked '80s hair-metal vocal sound with a ten-plus member "dude choir." They have also clearly studied Pyromania to an unhealthy degree. OK, that's enough rock for one party, don't you think? Moving on…
17. Fool's Gold, "Surprise Hotel." This Afro-Hebrew-jam-pop band was one of the first acts we ever blogged about. In hindsight, they actually don't seem all that weird compared to most of the bands on the Weird List, but damn if songs like this one don't shout "summer!" like a happy parent shouting "mazel tov!" at their daughter's wedding.
18. MaxNormal.TV, "HipnWidIt." We've never featured our current No. 1 Weirdest Band on a Weirdify playlist before, and I wasn't sure we'd be able to, considering Waddy Jones and co. pretty much scrapped this whole band when they reinvented themselves as Die Antwoord. But amazingly enough, Spotify does have some Max Normal tracks, including this shameless "Blue Monday" rip. But hey, even a secondhand version of the familiar New Order synth riff should get your more well-lubricated guests shaking a leg or two.
19. Dirty Sanchez, "Really Rich Italian Satanists." Let's keep the dance party vibe going with a little high-camp electroclash. Nothing says "party" like a bunch of drag queens channeling an Italian Satanic murder cult, am I right? Now pass the Campari, bitch.
20. Sir Ivan, "Hare Krishna." We interrupt this party for a hands-in-the-air hippie moment from our favorite Raver Billionaire. Everyone loving one another? Good, let's move on…
21. Sparks, "Now That I Own the BBC." We really don't mention often enough how freakin' awesome Sparks are. This is from their Pet Shop Boys on Acid phase, as I like to call it. Enjoy.
22. The Superions, "Who Threw That Ham at Me." We introduced this band from Fred Schneider of the B-52's as a strictly Christmas-themed group, but they do summer-themed songs, too. And then they do this song about canned-meat tossing. You might want to make sure all the meat at your BBQ is in a secure place before this comes on.
23. The Wet Spots, "Do You Take It…?" (Dr. Feelin's O.R. Dance Remix). By this point in the party, you're probably wondering which of your guests like to get freaky. Here's a hint: The ones who won't look you in the eye while this track is playing? Not freaky.
24. Mojo Nixon, "I Ain't Gonna Piss in No Jar." OK, so by now, if you're a party host worth your margarita salt, most of your guests are too drunk to dance. But too drunk to sing along to a Mojo Nixon song? We're pretty sure that's not physiologically possible.
25. Naked & Shameless, "And Then the Drugs Ran Out." At all of Jake's parties, this song is basically last call.
Hope you enjoyed this week's mix. And remember: Always recycle your empties. Unless someone peed in them.
Weirdify Playlist 7: Hip-Hoppish
I once wrote in these virtual pages that there was "a severe shortage of truly weird hip-hop acts out there." I'd like to now officially apologize for making such an ignorant and obviously untrue statement. I was listening to way too much formulaic Top 40 rap back then. I've broadened my horizons since then.
To illustrate, this week's Weirdify playlist is all about the beats, rhymes and turntable wizardry. Shout out to Ian Frost and Army of Gay Unicorns for some helpful suggestions to round out the playlist. So fire up the ol' Spotify and for God's sake, make sure you've got a sound system with some decent bass. Even weird hip-hop needs to bump.
1. Die Antwoord, "Fok Julle Naaiers." South Africa's twisted "zef rap-rave" crew strikes again. Apparently the title is Afrikaans for "Fuck All Y'All." I figured we oughta get the playlist off to a warm, fuzzy start.
2. TTC, "(pas la peine d'appeler je ne réponds pas au) TELEPHONE." From South African rave-rappers to French rave-rappers. TTC are sort of France's answer to the Beastie Boys, a bunch of smart-alecky white dudes who rap over everything from candy-colored electro (as on this track) to cheesy old-school disco. Je ne parle pas Français, but I hear the lyrics are hilarious.
3. Das Racist, "Happy Rappy." Das Racist is a bunch of smart-alecky brown dudes (MC Heems and hype man Dapwell are of Indian decent, Kool A.D. is Afro-Cuban and Italian) from Brooklyn. Their big claim to fame is a novelty blog hit called "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell," but they're smarter than that. Mostly.
4. Birdy Nam Nam, "Engineer Fear." Back to France again, this time to hear the crazy-quilt cut-and-paste sounds of a four-member DJ collective who can sample just about anything and make it sound funky, creepy and awesome.
5. Amon Tobin feat. MC Decimal R., "Verbal." Tobin is another sample-based producer whose music is often only tangentially related to hip-hop. I just love the way he's able to chop up this MC's verses in a way that renders them completely unintelligible, but keeps their rhythm and attitude fully intact.
6. Goldie Lookin Chain, "Half Man Half Machine." Imagine a bunch of Welsh lager louts putting their own sophomoric spin on the comedy rap of Flight of the Conchords and Lonely Island, and you've got Goldie Lookin Chain. It probably wouldn't be half as funny if it weren't for the drawling, gap-toothed accents. Apparently Wales is Great Britain's answer to Mississippi.
7. Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, "Thou Shalt Always Kill." More British hip-hop, this time from a producer/rapper duo who sound like characters from a Charles Dickens novel, except for the state-of-the-art, blippy production and the sardonic torrent of hipster one-liners. Say it with us now: "Thou shalt not shake it like a Polaroid picture."
8. Mission Man, "These Are the Moments." Gary "Mission Man" Milholland is the only artist featured in each of our last two playlists (this one and Weirdify 6: When You're Strange, our tribute to outsider music). Yes, he's that amazing. That free-form guitar solo at the end of this track? Genius.
9. Buck 65, "Spread 'Em." Richard "Buck 65" Terfry is, to the best of my knowledge, the only successful hip-hop artist ever to come out of rural Nova Scotia. Apart from that, he's not actually that weird—although the Deliverance-like pervy cop he channels on this track is pretty incredible.
10. MC Frontalot, "Charisma Potion." The first and still-greatest nerdcore rapper, MC Frontalot fills his tracks with references to role-playing games, tech blogs and other über-nerd touchstones. And he still manages to sound cool doing it. Also, he debates the correct pronunciation and usage of "attribute." As a writer, I cannot tell you how deeply I appreciate this.
11. Yea Big & Kid Static, "We've Built a Time Machine That Runs on Beats. We Shall Only Use It for Good." More geeky sci-fi rap, this time courtesy of a cult duo from Chicago. Turns out there's a lot of this stuff out there; we could have also included tracks from Dr. Octagon or MC Hawking, but we decided, in the interest of equal time, to include an Insane Clown Posse track instead.
12. Busdriver, "Unemployed Black Astronaut." Yeah, Busta Rhymes is pretty great, but this L.A. rapper is the underground's undisputed master of tongue-twisting, warp-speed wordplay. He's got weirder tracks than this one, but none cooler.
13. Sage Francis, "Zero." Francis is chubby, bald, white and from Providence, Rhode Island. And he can rhyme circles around just about any mainstream rapper in the biz. This is from his most recent album, Li(f)e, which featured collaborations with members of Death Cab for Cutie, Grandaddy, Calexico and the late Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse.
14. Techno Animal, "Cruise Mode 101." No weird hip-hop mix would be complete without a little industrial hip-hop. This angry little number comes courtesy of British producers Kevin Martin and Justin Broadrick's Techno Animal project and features raps by a Chicago crew called Rubberoom. Angsty!
15. Insane Clown Posse, "Chicken Huntin'." A funky little ditty about killing and eating hillbillies. Who's hungry?
16. Brokencyde, "Goose Googlez." I'm really sorry about including this one. I couldn't resist. #Douchecore
17. The Notorious MSG, "Egg Rollin'." Chinese comedy rap. It's not racist if it's being made by actual Asian guys, right? Actually, no, it's still pretty racist.
Hope you enjoyed this week's mix.

I don't think the debate is actually whether beating lesser geared players is actually fun or cool. Its more some people trying to justify changing to game to suit their wants. (You know, instead of finding a game more appropriate to what they want) And the other side thinks people should be rewarded for time and effort spent with gear. So, someone who has played all season should have better gear than someone who had just started.
This is not a game you "beat." In my opinion, the whole game is a grind, you grind for gear, rating, reputation whatever else you want. You grind down bosses, other players, NPCS, whatever it is needed.Taking the grind out of a game that has always been grind/gear centric is just wrong. Again, if you love the "equal gear at all times" feature, play a game with it. You have just as much opportunity as anyone else to play. Blizzard does not limit you and allow other more time.
If anything, they should fix/punish people who cheat and bot, and perhaps make the difference in gear item levels a bit less harsh. Has anyone actually done the math to see if they differences are actually bigger? Or if it jusst seems that way because the numbers are that much bigger?

Making a Citizen Arrest for a Traffic Violation
From time to time, a story comes up within a group of cyclists where a motorist commits a traffic violation, creating a hazard for the cyclist. No law enforcement officer happened to be present, but the cyclist still wishes that the violator could be ticketed.
While law enforcement officers are legally empowered to cite suspected traffic violators as a matter of routine, the process for citizens to do the same is more difficult. Citizens, cyclists or otherwise, have two basic options under the law.
In the first instance, let's assume the violator is available and an enforcing officer is present as well. Police do occasionally get hailed by a citizen and demand that a nearby motorist be cited. But the officer did not see the violation, thus has no authority to issue the citation based on personal observation. The citizen can demand that the officer write a citation, but first a legal standard of "probable cause" must be met.
The officer will question the complaining citizen on the particulars of the alleged violation. The officer is attempting to comply with the legal standard of "probable cause," which is somewhat subjective in how the officer measures the complainant's credibility. For example if the motorist alleged ran a stop sign, the probable cause standard is rather easily met. Anybody can recognize a stop sign violation. But if the alleged violator was speeding, the question arises on the ability of the complainant to correctly judge the speed of an automobile. Ultimately, it's a judgment call for the officer to proceed further.
Suppose now that the probable cause standard has been met. Law enforcement policy varies on the next procedure. What follows reflects the current policy of the Davis Police Department and is typical of many law enforcement agencies, but by no means is it universal. Some departments simply will not take any action, citing excessive workload to perform any extraordinary service.
A Davis Police Officer will write the citation and note the name of the complainant on the form. The complainant will be told to respond to a subpoena should the violator challenge the citation.
The second "citizen arrest" option emerges when the violator is not present when the complaint is made. The complaining citizen may have a license number and a vehicle and driver description. In Davis, the citizen may ask for a formal police report to be made, which in turn is forwarded to the Yolo District Attorney for further action. Again, some departments simply refuse to make a police report for a traffic violation.
When the Yolo District Attorney receives a complaint of a traffic violation from a citizen, he has full authority and discretion to charge the case or not. In the spirit of full disclosure, district attorney offices everywhere review such cases with skepticism and prosecution is rare.

Chicken Simmered in BBQ Sauce
- 6 cups Basic Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 to 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle dark ale
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce, about 8 dashes
- 2 pounds chicken pieces, bone-in and skin-on
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large heavy bottomed saucepot over medium-high heat, combine the Basic Tomato Sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, sugar, ale, and hot sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half and thickened, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat a large oven proof skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sear the chicken pieces on all sides until well-browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Add the prepared BBQ sauce making sure to cover all the chicken pieces. Add 1 cup of water if more liquid is needed to cover. Place the skillet into the oven and bake until the chicken easily falls off the bone and the sauce is slightly thickened and caramelized on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot or serve cold as leftovers.
Basic Tomato Sauce (Pomodoro):
5 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for garnish
12 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 (28-ounce) cans chopped tomatoes
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar, and season with salt, to taste.
Let extra sauce cool completely and then seal in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up 1 week and freeze for up to 1 month.
Yield: about 6 quarts sauce

As if four hours of May Mafia Madness from CBS' "The Last Don II" last weekend somehow weren't enough, NBC rolls out another 240 minutes of cosa nostra that isn't five minutes old before the lead character actually says, "I made him an offer he can't refuse."
As if four hours of May Mafia Madness from CBS' "The Last Don II" last weekend somehow weren't enough, NBC rolls out another 240 minutes of cosa nostra that isn't five minutes old before the lead character actually says, "I made him an offer he can't refuse." It's a sure tipoff that "Witness to the Mob" will pummel us with every mob cliche in existence along with a crash course in mobspeak — just in case we weren't already fluent after absorbing 16,000 previous hours of gangland-themed entertainment.
Just what is it with this continuing Mafia obsession, anyway? Have we not had our fill of sociopathic, semi-literate extortionists and assassins at this point? Evidently, co-executive producer Robert De Niro thinks not. This mini fervently believes that it's adding a new twist to the mob mix by focusing its attention on a rat, Sammy (The Bull) Gravano, the turncoat whose testimony landed the notorious New York mob kingpin John Gotti in the slammer. But even if you buy into the dubious notion that it's wise to center a two-night project around an unctuous snitch like Gravano, "Witness to the Mob" scotches any possible hopes for accuracy with the following disclaimer: "Certain events in this film that are based on fact are interpretive, certain characters are composites or have been fictionalized, and some names and locations have been changed." No sense in letting any of that pesky authenticity get in the way. "NYPD Blue" good guy Nicholas Turturro goes against type here in playing Gravano, turning in a performance that's serviceable but one-note. He's in virtually every scene as both star and narrator, depicting the Bull as a tightly-wound jerk who rails on about loyalty but screws everybody in the end. He's also got the personality of a lug-nut. Consequently, Stanley Weiser's stereotype-rich script leaves us wanting to kill Gravano ourselves rather than spend four hours watching him operate. As Gotti, Tom Sizemore is more effective, successfully lending the sleazoid who engineered the 1985 murder of mob boss Paul Castellano (nice work from Abe Vigoda) an outsized charisma. As we see Gravano rising through the mob family ranks in part one and then rescuing his behind by ratting on Gotti in night two, helmer Thaddeus O'Sullivan adroitly lays out the scenario with loads of the requisite Mafia staples like blood-brother ceremonies, stern family meetings, threats and treachery (long a favorite). Yet try though O'Sullivan might, he's done in by the watered-down Scorsese material he's forced to work with. Did Gravano really walk into a bar and tell the owner, "Okay, we're running things here now. What's in it for you is that you get to live"? What ever happened to the concept of a 30% cut in return for protection? Dramatic license has suddenly rendered the simple financial squeeze passe. Then again, "Witness to the Mob" clearly doesn't place a high priority on presenting the way things really went down. The filmmakers are more interested in spouting lines like, "Without trust, you can't have betrayal" and showing America just how schooled they are in communicating the Mafia way (lots of "d'ese" and "dose," numerous references to the breaking of legs, plenty of discussion about "paying him a visit"). It all winds up feeling pretty contrived and achingly repetitive, lending fuel to the sentiment that it's time for network TV to put the mob mini to sleep alongside the fishes. Tech credits are superior.Witness to the Mob

Quads should be arriving next week or so. If anyone out there has the Aero, mini, or UM4 please post in the thread!
post #61 of 71
9/14/09 at 10:00pm
Hey sorry to ask this again, but can someone pm me sams MSN?
I have a pair of se530's that I want reshelled. Another question how much would it cost if I want: Reshelled: 600 Artwork: ??? Wires: ??? What are the options for wiring? From the posts I've read, I know that they cant use the stock 530 wires, and they charge an additional 20ish for new wires. Is there an option to purchase other types of wiring too, like the options at null audio? Thanks |
Just a quick question on reshelled phones. Has anyone reshelled a Westone 3 before? (I tried the search function but couldn't find any)
I heard the Westone 3 universals before and I think I like them slightly more than the UM3X (my current phones are PFEs). I am able to get a set of W3 drivers that someone else reshelled before and a westone cable for $180. Is that a good deal? 'Cos I was thinking abt the impressions costs (~$30-40) and reshelling costs (~$90), all in would cost be abt $300, and with very little resale value. |

62 Percent of Restaurant Workers Don't Wash Their Hands After Handling Raw Beef
And seven other disgusting new facts about restaurant food.
About 3,000 Americans die every year from foodborne diseases, and more than 120,000 are hospitalized. Recognizing that restaurants and delis are the source of more than half of foodborne illness outbreaks, health specialists for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) went inside the kitchens of hundreds of restaurants across 10 states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Iowa, Rhode Island, and Tennessee) to determine which practices could be making people sick. They released their findings this month.
The result aren't pretty. Many workers lack basic knowledge about food safety, don't wash their hands enough, and serve undercooked meat. Employees commonly show up to work when they're vomiting, because they fear losing pay and leaving the restaurant understaffed. As we reported in June, a number of states have introduced bills that prevent localities from passing laws that require paid sick leave—and they're backed by big restaurant chains, including McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Olive Garden. (Is it any wonder that struggling restaurant workers are going on strike?) Restaurant employees working sick is "an important cause of foodborne illness outbreaks," say the researchers.
So, without further ado, here are eight of the most terrifying statistics from the new reports:
1. Nearly two-thirds of restaurant workers who handle raw beef aren't washing their hands afterward: The researchers looked at 247 restaurants that use raw ground beef. Employees touched the beef in 192 restaurants, and in 119 of those restaurants, employees who touched the raw beef with their bare hands didn't wash them before touching other cooked food. That means that the pathogens from the raw beef—particularly E. coli, which causes more than 61,000 illnesses and 20 deaths a year—could spread from the beef to the cooked food leaving the kitchen.
2. About 40 percent of restaurants don't usually use separate cutting boards for raw chicken: That's according to the 448 kitchen managers the CDC interviewed in both independent and chain restaurants. About 25 percent of managers also said they don't often use disposable gloves when handling chicken.
3. Most managers don't know the safe cooking temperature for chicken: In that same group of 448 kitchen managers, only 194 knew the FDA-recommended cooking temperature for raw chicken (165 degrees Fahrenheit). About a quarter of the managers underestimated the correct temperature, and 33 admitted they had no clue. (Incredibly, one manager actually guessed 90 degrees—lower than a normal human body temperature. We hope he or she was thinking in Celsius.)
4. Almost half of chefs don't use a thermometer to make sure a burger is cooked: Out of 385 restaurants, the managers in 190 of them said that they "never" used thermometers to check when a burger was done, instead determining doneness by color or feel.
5 …and as a result, a bunch of burgers are coming out raw: CDC inspectors found that 12 percent of the 234 hamburgers they tested were undercooked (less than 155 degrees Fahrenheit). When customers ordered a burger medium-rare, that number rose significantly: 40 percent of those burgers were undercooked.
6. 40 percent of sick food workers didn't go home because they have no sick leave: Of 491 food workers, more than half said they had worked a shift while ill. One hundred twenty-seven of those workers indicated that they did so because they had no paid sick leave or sick leave policy. According to the CDC, a lot of these workers also didn't want to leave their coworkers short-staffed: "Social and personal concerns appear more likely to guide workers' decisions" than pay, the researchers wrote.
7. Seriously. The cook is vomiting: In that same group of workers, 20 percent said they were vomiting or had diarrhea on at least one shift in 2012, and 12 percent indicated that they had those symptoms for at least two shifts.
8. Vegetarians aren't off the hook: Out of 37 "leafy green" shipments—like lettuce or spinach—almost half were not delivered at the recommended temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the CDC, keeping greens stored above that temperature promotes the growth of germs. Fortunately, two out of three managers at 411 restaurants said they had rejected a greens shipment because the produce was rotten or too warm.

WASHINGTON, Monday—Because I felt quite sure today would be a busy day, I went for a ride after lunch yesterday. On my return I found our son, John, had arrived with Mrs. Haven Clark and two of her daughters, Anne and Joan. Since Joan is about my grandaughter Sistie's age, I decided she would enjoy going to the Fort Myer pageant last night, given for the benefit of the Post Recreation and Relief Fund.
It was a wonderful performance with gorgeous costumes and lighting effects and a band that outdid itself. The horsemanship was, as usual, extraordinarily good and the horses were wonderfully well trained. They played a game of musical chairs on horseback. This apparently dates back to Tamerlane, who was the chief figure in this pageant. All I can say is that the children of today have no idea how exciting their game can be when played by wild horsemen!
Today was full to overflowing, but the first thing brought home to me was that the time for students to trek to Washington is upon us. I met a group from Briarcliff, New York. When I happened to wander over to the executive office to see my son, James, I stumbled into another one. They were a choral group which has come to give a couple of concerts, besides seeing what they can of the city in the interval.
It seemed queer to hold a press conference again this morning and see familiar faces instead of greeting total strangers, as I have been doing for the past month at press conferences.
At 12:30 I presented a trophy to Miss Jacqueline Cochran (Mrs. Floyd Odlum) for the most distinguished achievement of the year by an aviatrix. I was particularly happy to be able to do this, for I think there is a great future in aviation for women.
Two different groups met here during the afternoon. First a group of colored women under Mrs. Bethune had an opportunity to discuss their problems with the executives in the various departments in Washington who deal with the care of women and children, and particularly with colored groups. After them, the state administrators of Social Security met. I gathered a great deal of information from both meetings. I find that listening to discussions of this kind clarifies much that one sees and hears when one is travelling about the country.
Sometimes one feels that certain things should be taken for granted and that to come out and make a statement about them, or even to mention them, is emphasizing something so obvious that it seems ridiculous. But as I travel around and talk with different groups of people and individuals, it is borne in upon me that what is obvious to me may not be so to many other people and that it is often better to say the obvious thing than to leave people under a false impression. Information about all kinds of work being carried on by the Government may be an old story to us, but many people know nothing about it.

King Olaf's Verse
A lost part of the Poetic Edda, sung during the burning of Olaf's effigy in Solitude
Note: The blocks of numbers that appear in this text are actually unreadable smudges when seen in the game.
- A special font is used to create these smudges, which appears as numbers in the Creation Kit (i.e., "12 2345 123 12345123", etc.)
O, Olaf, our subjugator, the one-eyed betrayer;
death-dealing demon and dragon-killing King.
Your legend is lies, lurid and false;
your cunning capture of Numinex, a con for the ages.
Olaf grabbed power, by promise and threat;
From Falkreath to Winterhold, they fell to their knees;
But Solitude stood strong, Skyrim's truest protectors.
Olaf's vengeance was instant, inspired and wicked.
So ends the story of Olaf the liar, a thief and a scoundrel we of Solitude commit to the fire. In Solitude bards train for their service, they also gather each year and burn a King who deserves it.

What is so big you want to transfer anyway?, Spacebuild maps ?, Things like this will take ages to download.
He's right, but if you don't have the possibilities to use sv_downloadurl then your are claimed to 64 mb each file.
sv_downloadurl does not remove the limit of 64mb on each file....
We have an extremely fast server which we use already for FastDL, but the 64MB limit is annoying and we want to override it to ~150MB.
There's a command for increasing the maximum download file size. I think it's net_maxfilesize.
If you read the previous page, it states you can only set it to 64MB.
So now that we have circled around twice....
<3 people who cant read
I've fixed a problem caused by hook.Call being called too much (now referencing it), but I don't know if this was the cause of all the crashes. I would appreciate it if someone could test it for a while and report back.
Still crashes, sorry :(
This is not even related to the sourcenet dll.
It wont work on listened servers.
Yes it is, his module gets unloaded and then the crash happens. He knows about this, also no hacks and its not a listen server.
Clientside always had that problem, this fix was related to the stack overflow for dedicated servers.
Also i dont think its a very good idea using gmcl_disconnect.dll i combination with sourcenet.
Also i suppose you are running it from the menu state ?
I'm running disconnected from menu state, yes. But not sourcenet
According to that dump you weren't even running sourcenet
Updated to r7.
How would I use sourcenet to send inconnect user IPs to clients when someone connects?
If you meant to say incorrect then look at examples/sn3_stripip.lua
Yep, thanks
My server seems to crash like, 5x as much with this installed (using the new ACP anti cheat).
Some dumps:
It crashes now and then, for us it went from 5 times a day to once a 6* days in the latest update. So make sure you have the latest version
Only sourcenet related dump afther update:
Just downloaded latest version, and still crashing quite a bit. Less than I was, but still more than usual:
Could you send me those dumps? TIA.
Could you send me those dumps? TIA.
error loading module 'sourcenet3' from file '/home/srcds/srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/lua/includes/modules/gm_sourcenet3_linux.dll':
/home/srcds/srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/lua/includes/modules/gm_sourcenet3_linux.dll: undefined symbol: META_IGameEventManager2_name
Been getting a far few recently, oh as I typed this I see updated sign, maybe I should try it ;)
past few days I have been getting errors on players joining, about invalid datastreams?
Could the recent gmod updates have changed their networking methods?
Unhandled Stream - slv_checkvalid etc
It's just some over-eager clientside addon. I can't remember which. As long as the stream is called "slv_checkvalid" it's nothing to worry about.
The latest revision contains a fix for the INVALID_POINTER_READ crash on the server. It was a problem in the Lua base code which led to deleted net channels being used.
I hope you can fix it when you have sourcenet3 loaded and you get kicked or the map changes, the client will crash.
Send me the crash dump if you are using the latest version.
Had to disable it since this latest update.
Here's a dump: http://dumps.garrysmod.com/?view=684562381
I've fixed the net messages code for a recent update (not this one), however it doesn't seem to have stopped the crash for anyone but me. Is anyone else having problems?
Seems to work fine here for me.
Severside works fine, Clientside is the one that worries me because I get a crash when kicked/map change. I'll upload a dump when I can.
Serverside is crashing with funny lua errors and sometimes it's just "NULL" or lua error:

Crashes on client when kicked or map changes. Sent dump to you via PM.
The dump you sent doesn't contain any useful information and I still can't recreate it, so I'm not sure what I can do.
I can't really look into this without a dump or a way to recreate it.
The only way I can think that the reason why the client crashes for others but not you is that it uses something that we don't have that you do but this is just my guess at it. Or maybe we have something running that does it but that is more unlikely.
Hows it going, did you find a way to fix it crashing?
( to everyone that doesn't know, i showed him the bug properly, apparently its a hook being spammed too much )
I found the problem. Since a recent update, Source seems to start using separate threads to send datagrams after 3 players (or some other condition is met) are connected.
I'm writing a fix now.

L.A. police union wants San Diego newspaper writers fired
The union representing Los Angeles police officers is pressuring the owner of San Diego's main newspaper to change the paper's editorial stance on labor issues or to fire its editorial writers. The feud is rooted in the recent purchase of the San Diego Union-Tribune by Platinum Equity, a private Beverly Hills firm. Platinum relies on a $30-million investment from the pension fund of Los Angeles police officers and fire fighters, along with large sums from other public-employee pension systems around the state, to help fund its acquisitions of companies. As League President Paul M. Weber views it, that makes the League part owner in the flagging Tribune and League officials are none to happy with the paper's consistent position that San Diego lawmakers should cut back on salaries and benefits for public employees in order to help close gaping budget deficits.
"Since the very public employees they continually criticize are now their owners, we strongly believe that those who currently run the editorial pages should be replaced," Weber wrote in a March 26 letter to Platinum CEO Tom Gores. Weber, in an interview, emphasized that the League is not demanding changes in the paper's news coverage of the issue or in its staff of reporters. "It's just these people on the opinion side. There is not even an attempt to be even-handed. They're one step away from saying, 'these public employees are parasites,' " Weber said. Bob Kittle, editor of the Union-Tribune's editorial page, rebuffed Weber's comments. While his staff has written several editorials critical of the benefit and pension commitments city leaders have made to San Diego's five public employee unions, he denied Weber's charge that the paper is out to hurt public employees.
"We are not anti-public safety or public employee," he said. "All of this has to be considered within the context of what the city can afford. A bankrupt city can't provide any public safety very well."
Kittle said no one at Platinum or higher-ups at the paper had contacted him about the union's request.
Mark Barnhill, a principal at Platinum, acknowledged the letter from Weber but declined to comment on whether the firm planned to take any action. In a recent interview with the Union-Tribune, however, another Platinum executive indicated that the League is wasting its time.
"Platinum has no editorial agenda," he said. "We will rely on the newspaper's professional staff to ensure that its pages appropriately reflect the values of the community it serves."

Serves 4
The yang of beef balances the yin of tofu. Traditionally this dish is made with silken tofu. It falls into soft, custard-like curds when cut. Then, when the beef's poured on top, the tofu melts and absorbs the flavors. Using silken tofu also saves a cooking step. I think most Americans prefer a firmer tofu. Cook firm tofu until lightly browned gives it a good flavor and texture of its own. If you want to add a vegetable component, serve the beef over spinach with rice on the side or stir a fine chiffonade of Swiss chard into the meat during the last minute of cooking, just to wilt the chard.
12 ounces boneless rib-eye steak, trimmed of fat
and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices across the grain
1 cup Shanghainese Red Pepper Sauce (see below), divided
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
14 ounces firm tofu, cut into pieces about 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches square
1/4 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch dice (optional)
In a small bowl, toss the meat with 1/2 cup of the sauce and set aside for about 5 minutes.
Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a flat-bottomed wok or nonstick sauté pan over high heat. Add the tofu, sprinkle it lightly with salt, and cook, swirling the pan and stirring gently to prevent the tofu from sticking. Be careful not to break up the tofu. Keep moving and turning the tofu until it is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Remove the tofu to a plate and keep warm in the oven on low heat.
In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Scrape the meat and marinade into the pan. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sauce, or to taste, and quickly stir and cook until the meat is done bur still rare, about 2 minutes. Immediately pour over the tofu and serve the dish garnished with diced red pepper, if desired.
Makes about 1 cup
2 teaspoons cornstarch
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 packed tablespoons minced ginger
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Stir the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside. Measure the remaining soy sauce, sugar, sherry, chili sauce, ginger and oil into a small pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir the cornstarch mixture again and then stir it into the pan. Simmer gently about 1 minute, and remove from the heat. Pour the sauce into a bowl or jar and let it cool before use. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Advertisement Rose, you see, was dressed as Marvel's Deadpool (part of the national Superhero Week charity drive), and along with the cupcakes he was also carrying swords, ammunition, grenades and firearms. They were all plastic props, part of his costume, but obviously not everyone on the train was aware of that, so in the middle of his ride Rose found himself yanked off at a station and surrounded by five cops. Advertisement He was soon on his way, but not before an Australian newspaper could call him both "Deadpool" and "Spiderman" in the same story (as well as claim he was ARRESTED in the headline before burying at the very end of the story that the "police did not charge him with any offence."Deadpool arrested on Sydney train: Police alerted to superhero armed with guns, grenades and ninja swords [Daily Telegraph] Reply200 repliesLeave a reply

Chawan Mushi is a much loved Japanese savory egg custard. It is often homemade and also found in good restaurants where they are made in limited batches. To produce a smooth custard, it has to be steamed at a low temperature. Rapidly boiling water will cause the egg custard to puff up and collapse when removed. This will produce a "rough" custard.
The fun part about eating Chawan Mushi is discovering the "treasures" hidden in the custard. A lot of times what is inside the custard cannot be seen until you dig in. The filling can be as simple as diced chicken meat and kamaboko (steamed fish cakes), or as luxurious as scallops, shrimps, ginkgo nuts, and shiitake mushrooms. I have even used dried scallops which gives the custard a really sweet flavor.
Savory steamed egg custard is fairly common in East Asian cuisine but this Japanese version in individual cups is such a delight! It is normally served as an appetizer and is to be savored slowly.
I have made this many, many times and each time it is a little different. Today, I have decided to use three ingredients you can easily find at your local grocery store – asparagus, shrimps, and fish sticks. You can substitute with pre-cooked chicken, mushrooms, scallops, carrots, and whatever takes your fancy. Do give it a try.
- 4 asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 2½-inch pieces
- 4 medium sized shrimps, peeled
- 1 fish stick, cut diagonally into 4 pieces
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups (360ml) slightly warm water
- ½ tsp instant dashi
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp mirin
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- Bring a small pot of water to boil. Lightly salt the water and cook asparagus for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain. Add shrimps and cook until they curl and turn pink. Remove and drain.
- Place 1½ cups (360ml) warm water in a medium sized bowl. Add instant dashi and salt. Stir to dissolve. Add mirin and soy sauce. Set aside to cool.
- Once water is cooled, add eggs. Beat lightly with a whisk. Strain into another bowl.
- Bring a large pan of water to boil. Place a steaming rack in the pan. Reduce heat to medium low.
- Divide asparagus, shrimps, and fish sticks between 2 egg cups or ramekins. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly between the two cups.
- Carefully place egg cups or ramekins into the prepared steamer. Cover cups with chawan lid or aluminum foil if using ramekins. Place cover on steamer and steam on low heat for 15 minutes or until eggs are set.
- Remove and serve immediately.

Dontfusswithruss and driver Trace Tetrick rolled home as winners in the fourth and final leg of the $30,000 Indiana Gold Sire Stakes Tuesday, July 3. The three-year-old reigning freshman trotting champ turned in a powerful performance to score his second consecutive win and third Indiana Sire Stakes win.
Selected as the heavy favorite, Dontfusswithruss began his journey from the inside post and moved out quickly, landing in line fifth along the rail behind early leader A Royal Peck and Ricky Macomber Jr. However, their lead was short lived as Mark O'Mara and Jolenes Pinehonker had their sights set on the front. After a costly break by Jolenes Pinehonker, Velten San Siro and Ross Leonard inherited the lead just past the half mile marker in :58.0. Tetrick had Dontfusswithruss out and moving toward the leaders as the field headed into the final turn and the duo reached the front just past the three-quarters in 1:27.4. Dontfusswithruss stopped the clock in 1:56.4 and was able to hold off a hard charging My Muscleman and Jason Dillander who rallied hard in the final strides after being off the pace for much of the race. A Royal Peck got up for the third place finish. Dontfusswithruss returned $3.40 to win.
After a sensational two-year-old campaign, the Melissa Essig trained gelding celebrated his third seasonal victory in five outings. Owned and bred by Jacalyn Beeman, Dontfusswithruss now has career earnings in excess of $250,000 after winning six of 13 starts last year, including the Indiana Sire Stakes Final for two-year-old trotting colts.
Dontfusswithruss will advance to the $200,000 final Saturday, July 14. The race will be part of Hoosier Champions Night, featuring more than $1 million in purses for the Indiana Sire Stakes. Friday, July 13 will also be part of the national harness racing promotion, "Back to the Track" night. The Indiana Standardbred Association will offer several addition promotions and giveaways throughout the weekend to mark the final night of harness racing for 2012.
The win with Dontfusswithruss was one of eight wins on the 14-race card for Tetrick, who tied the record for most wins in one night at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino, a record held by Don Irvine Jr. and Eric Ledford. Tetrick was victorious in the last five races on the card. He also steered Cam's Flight and Can't Beat This Kid for trainer Robert Taylor, and Elian's Boy for Jim Dailey earlier on the card. Tetrick reached the winner's circle in the night cap with the 3-year-old filly CC's Munchkin in 1:56.3, a filly that is not only trained by Tetrick but also owned by his older brother, Tim Tetrick.
The 25-year-old reignsman is quickly approaching another milestone; Trace Tetrick is only 16 wins away from his 2000th career win. Tetrick had his best year to date in 2011 when he recorded over $4 million in purse earnings and 391 wins, almost doubling his stats in years past. Tetrick also currently leads all Hoosier Park drivers with 117 trips to the winner's circle and over $950,000 in purse earnings.

This is a trade story with Charlotte E. Witsenburg, a stunning artist. Her half of the trade, Ifaer who is gorgeous ^^ I did a story based on the three other tattooed people in her gallery, and came up with this. I hope you like. Please be constructive, but not harsh, because dark though this is, I found it fun to write and I like the setting. The only thing I am not sure about is the relationship between Erion and Adara, not sure if I portrayed that well. Well, enjoy, if you can ^~ Warning: mild language and violence.
In memory of El Diablo... the most adorable li'l bunny that ever lived. And it means I.N M.E.M.O.R.Y O.F H.I.M. Not influenced by him... El Diablo is not a massive bunny with athletic skills, he's a half-demon mortal with kick-ass weapons. I just had this idea, and El Diablo the bunny had recently died, so I decided to name the character after him, and so the chara has white hair like the bunny had... and one eye like the bunny had... there the resemblances fade... So it is a normal story, stop asking me where the bunny influences come from! *chuckles darkly* please, read on.... And also for Laura, in light of her being up on elfwood. You can find her amazing art here
Itsa poem! Again! With poetry I feel as though its something other than my mind guiding my hands, because it feels so dream-like and such. I like this one. Reminds me of my *sob* dead grandfather. Aaah, not going into family stuff!
Death hath a sense of humour... oh yes, he doth. I am TERRIBLE at doing shakespeare language, but this poem is attempted in that kinda old flowing language. Sounds better read out-loud.
This is a girl trapped in a dream - she can't wake up, and two men are duelling for her heart...
This has been a long time coming up, sorry, this is the roots of the rivalry between Chakra and Sirion, and the origins and history of Siri. Also where he meets Shira his link for the first time.
Ah, this little thing was something I brewed up a few months ago while working on my webcomic. Wanting something a little less taxing, I was looking at my cat, Kitten (yes, I know, original name, its better than the one she had before! And there is a story behind it) and thus came Wind and Cat. *grins* Part two is nearly finished, and will be in next update ^^
This is the thrid part of my short story. I'm quite enjoying not having pages and pages to scroll through XD. Oh look, ickle Isin all grown up...
Ok, this poem is REALLY about me saying goodbye to my first horse... because we had to sell him *although somehow he's still here ><* and I was really sad - I'd had him for six and a half years, and I was too tall to own him any more... so these are really MY emotions...
This is a short script from Spirit Realm. I'm stuck where I am at the moment, so I went ahead and wrote the intro for this character because i love him so much, and he's fun to write about. Mreeheheeeheee! Lotsa constructive comments, please, but this is my baby, so no harshness pweese. ^_^
This is for the Muffin-girl, for being cool and contempory, man. Yeah, so here ya go, its about dancers. I actually wuite enjoyed writing it *albeit short* so i may write more on it
This is a story I intended to be short, got hooked on and began to write. The beginning was dedicated to Miffy, so I guess the whole thing is XD The story continues... I hate leaving cliffhangers...
Chapter One of the as-yet unnamed story, involving Barthel, one of my favorite characters to write for. I've strayed a little from my previous style, it's matured a bit. I hope you enjoy!
This is for anyone who has ever loved and lost, and all those who have never been in love... Hold on to me love You know I can't stay long All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms? Holding my last breath Safe inside myself Are all my thoughts of you Sweet raptured light It ends tonight I'll miss the winter A world of fragile things Look for me in the white forest Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me) I know you can hear me I can taste it in your tears Holding my last breath Safe inside myself Are all my thoughts of you Sweet raptured light It ends tonight Closing your eyes to disappear You pray your dreams will leave you here But still you wake and know the truth No-one's there Say goodnight Don't be afraid Calling me calling me as you fade to black Fitting lyrics, I think, from the amazing Evanescence.
I was listening to a song the other day, and I wrote a story showing how I feel about it, and cause I always write fantasy, here it is ^^ The fight for love is not always with others...
This poem is weird, its all about earth, but whenever someone writes a story they create another dimension, so there are millions of different dimensions all connected to earth through stories. The system is guarded by a group a bit like the FBI, who stop anyone getting into the dimensions, with their magic, because it would mean changing the entire world, because he/she would change the writing of their own book. And one person gets through into her story. Kinda weird, anyway, enjoy! *or not as the case may be*
This came to me in a dream. I watched it unfold. It was impossible to remember, but I woke up with this song in my head. it went on to form words, and replayed in my head. I wish it didn't, because with it come the visions. Of what happens, when death doesn't want to be death anymore. Its frightening. I'm not joking around. I'm deadly serious. So read this. Its a poem and a song and a dream. About deaths touch on this reality. Innocence is the most frightening thing in the world, but corrupted innocence... That is the work of dreams.
This is a poem written for Che. Sorry i couldn't include everything, mate. It is about a girl who dances on a ship where dancing is the only though in everyone's minds. She has a red ribbon around her wrist, which represents the blood of the world. As long as she dances, the world has joy and happiness, but when she falls, we fall into darkness... See what you think. I like it, since it rhymes, and mine rarely do that ^_^
This is a very sad poem, which i made up a while ago, and for a while I kept dreaming about a swordsmistress with cold, icy eyes which murdered thousands, and instead of submitting the poor thing to one of my illustrations I decided to do a poem. I'm quite pleased with how it came out, actually, Danielle Tribus Colman did an illustration for it, which can be found here Enjoy!
This is the second chapter of my first-person medieval-vampire story, written in a more mature style (I think ^~) Anyway, is she alive? Read on to find out.
Third Chapter of my vampiric first-person blood-fest. The battle reigns. Warning: violence and minimal strong language.
I wrote this when in a kind of black mood. It's set sometime in the near future, a mixture of sci-fi/horror in an unnamed town in America, and there is not really any advances in technology, but a meteor brought an unnamed illness to Earth, and this is a single story of the brutal way we dealt with those infected. Not for the squeamish - violence throughout.
Fourth part of my *cough* short story...oops, um, yeah, so is this what ya were expecting? XDXD
I'm not sure whether this is a story about a deep friendship or something different, a sort of mental bond. However, the story is about saying goodbye. I wish all goodbye's were this easy. This is part of a series in which I'm writing about the magic leaving Earth, and magical/mythical beings leaving with it. Feel free to write your own story! Must be about a mythical being, and involving the loss of magic. What does your character/characters do? Do they go into hiding, flee the planet, perish along with their powers? It is up to you ^^ But don't repeat characters already done - keep up a variety. So far, I've written this story - unicorns and elves, and another involving dryads. Some suggestions: -Nyads. -Dragons/firedrakes -Magefolk -Gryphons/Griffins -Phoenix's -Pegusai There are hundreds of different beings, so if you feel like penning a few ideas, please do ^^
Firstly and most importantly, this is for Emily. I wrote this a long time ago, lost the document and finally found it again, so here you are. I actually quite like this character, short though her entrance is, and may use her in my novel ^^ Also my friend Laura did a picture that looks like her, so you can find it >here
This is the first chapter of one of my piloting stories up here on elfwood, one about the vampire who couldn't die. Well, yeah. It was pretty shoddy, having been written two years ago, so I've updated it with a few extra's. The illustration of the vampiress can be found here

A high M/L indicates lots of dark matter, a low M/L indicates that most of the matter is in form of baryonic matter .
yeh common sense will tell you that, but its EVERYWHERE, and we know this, another thing what dark matter can be is a blackhole, where so much of it is stored in oen spot, thats why u cant really see and black hole from the bottom, thats even if it has a bottom, and thats why everything gets desenigrated inside cause thers so much of it, and like when i sun explodes, that force there could mix with the already strong force of dark matter and create a blackhole ya know, if not the the sun just turns into a dwarf, where every pebble on its surface wieghs 100's of tons, yeh wierd huh, but these are just my theorys and somthing to think about too
EDIT: nvm i take that back, black holes odnt have ntohing to do with Dark Matter, i just thought about it some more, and darkmatter is like a sheet so to say thats layed over our universe
and i was also wrong abour black holes, because what a black whole is its a tiny itty bitty microscopic partical thats just that strong with that force it creats and hole in time or space or whatever itself and starts to leak and pull everything in and nothing survives, not even light, thats why there call black holes, but i learned once i school that there are white holes, and ima bout to go look it up on google, and post some pics, some peopel dont elive me there are whiteholes

Arsenal were title favourites during the first half of the previous English Premier League campaign after finishing the year at the top of the table. However, due to some lengthy injuries and tired legs, they began to lose their early momentum, where they finished in fourth at the end of the campaign.
A problem they seemed to have was that Olivier Giroud was their only actual striker, so his place was never under jeopardy leading to some mixed performances. With some players leaving as well, Wenger will surely need to spend in the upcoming transfer window.
We now take a look at SIX World Cup stars Arsenal can sign from Group C.
