Anheuser-Busch InBev today announced a voluntary recall in the U.S. and Canada of a "limited" number of Stella Artois bottles that may contain glass particles due to a packaging defect.
In a press release, A-B, the world's largest beer manufacturer, said a packaging flaw in some 11.2 oz. bottles manufactured by an unnamed European third-party vendor "may cause a small piece of glass to break off and possibly fall into the beer."
A-B VP of communications Gemma Hart told Brewbound that the company launched the recall after receiving five consumer complaints in the U.S. and Canada. She added that it's too soon to say how much the recall will cost the company.
According to A-B, the recall amounts to less than one percent of Stella Artois glass bottles sold annually in North America, and the number of "affected bottles will be far less than this." The company added that it is working with its wholesaler and retailer partners to remove the recalled products from store shelves.
Those products include bottles of Stella Artois packaged in 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-packs as well as Best of Belgium multi-packs in the U.S. and Canada. The recall also includes Stella Artois Légère 6- and 12-packs in the U.S.
Stella Artois bottles included in the recall have the following "best before dates," packaging codes and time stamps.
A-B said it would reimburse consumers for products covered within the recall. The company has encouraged consumers who purchased products covered in the recall to visit the following website — https://stellaartois.expertinquiry.com — or call a hotline — 1-855-215-5824 — for details on how to receive a refund.
Several other companies have issued recalls for various reasons, from packaging flaws to off flavors, in recent years. In early 2017, Sierra Nevada issued a similar recall for a glass defect that impacted product sold in 36 states.
Constellation Brands, Revolution Brewing, Real Ale Brewing Co., Alltech Lexington Brewing, Epic Brewing, Left Hand Brewing and Goose Island, which is owned by A-B, have also dealt with recalls in recent years.
A press release with additional details is below.
Voluntary Partial Recall of 11.2-Ounce Bottles of Stella Artois
Limited Stella Artois Recall in the U.S. and Canada
NEW YORK, New York – Stella Artois today announced a voluntary recall of select packages containing 11.2-ounce (330ml) bottles of Stella Artois beer that may contain particles of glass. This recall applies to Stella Artois 6-packs, 12-packs, 18-packs, 24-packs, "Best of Belgium" multi-packs in the U.S. and Canada, and Stella Artois Légère 6-packs and 12-packs in the U.S. The recall does not affect other Stella Artois packaging formats, such as cans or draft or bottles of any other production codes.
The recall is limited in scope to bottles from one third-party production facility that produces a fraction of Stella Artois bottles. This recall impacts less than 1% of Stella Artois glass bottles sold in North America annually, and affected bottles will be far less than this.
The full list of imported Stella Artois packages that are subject to this recall in the U.S. and Canada is below.
This recall comes after the detection of a glass packaging flaw in some 11.2-ounce (330ml) bottles that may cause a small piece of glass to break off and possibly fall into the beer. The potentially-affected bottles were manufactured by a third-party which is one of many supplying Stella Artois with glass bottles.
We made the decision to voluntarily recall certain packages potentially containing the affected 11.2-ounce (330ml) bottles as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of our consumers. The beer subject to this recall includes Stella Artois cases with a packaging date that falls within the ranges listed below. The codes can be found on the back label of the bottles and on the side of the cardboard cartons for the 12-packs, 18-packs and 24-packs of 11.2-ounce (330ml) bottles.
Consumers should check the Stella Artois bottles in their "Best of Belgium" multi-packs. Attached are photos which show the exact location of the relevant production codes.
"The safety of our consumers is our top priority. While the number of potentially-affected glass bottles is very small, we are recalling these Stella Artois packages as a precautionary measure," said Christina Choi, Global Brand VP, Stella Artois. "Our team of technical experts has been working with our third-party glass bottle supplier to ensure this packaging flaw has been addressed."Stella Artois is actively working with our distributor and retail partners to remove potentially-affected packages from retail.Consumers who have 11.2-ounce (330ml) bottles of Stella Artois beer marked with the production codes listed below should visit https://stellaartois.expertinquiry.com for more information and for instructions on how to find the production codes for potentially-affected product. Consumers can also call our consumer hotline at 1-855-215-5824.
Any consumers who currently have potentially-affected Stella Artois beer in the U.S. or Canada within the scope of this recall will be eligible for reimbursement. Consumers are advised not to consume or allow others to consume the potentially-affected product.

With State Of Play getting a quality face-lift and a star cast, it looks like Hollywood is rediscovering a favourite source of material to feed the monstrous movie machine.
Fox 2000 is following Universal's lead, snatching up The Jury, a miniseries written by The Queen's Peter Morgan (he loves his "The" titles, does Morgan) that aired over here way back in 2002.
The plot – which will be adapted into a film script by Beau Willimon – follows the trial of a young Sikh student who is charged with the murder of his tormenter – a classmate. It'll explore the lives of the jurors as they make their decision.
Marc Forster, the man who is busy getting ready to make his first Bond movie – will call the shots as soon as he finishes that marathon shoot. If he survives it, that is...

free shipping on orders over $20
In a big year of rod releases, it's easy to overlook some of the little guys. The Scott Flex is one such release. It's not that people don't think the Flex will be a great rod and a huge improvement over the *meh* A4, and it's not that Scott doesn't have a ton of fans. But, let's face it, the $1100 G. Loomis Asquith is just a little more newsworthy. Read on to see why you shouldn't overlook the new Flex.
If this review helped you decide on your next fly rod, help us by buying it here.
Scott makes some of the finest fly rods in the world. Fit and finish is top notch, and the Flex is no different. Every wrap of the rod is just perfect! Usually, finish work suffers on low- and mid-priced rods, but not so on the Flex. So, how does it differ from the Radian? Well, for one, you're not going to get a full wells grip. You're also not going to get a wood reel seat… boo hoo. Really the only substantive (maybe) difference is the guides aren't titanium.
The Flex is a really light fly rod. It weighs in at 2.95 oz. which is slightly heavier than the Radian. It feels nice and light in hand, but it's not the absolute lightest feeling rod out there.
At shorter distances, the Flex performs really well, but takes some getting used to. It's got a different flex pattern and while you'd expect it to be deadly in close, it feels like the rod is more optimized toward medium length casts and sacrifices in close accuracy to do it.
As you step back, the Flex comes into its own. I loved casting the Scott Flex at 45'. It's one of the best rods out there and is incredibly accurate. It's a good thing because 45' is the distance that's going to be the most useful to the largest majority of anglers. One thing I did notice was that the Flex doesn't have the line speed of faster rods, like the Radian, so don't expect it to punch into the wind particularly well. That same characteristic means that it's not going to make really long casts, or be really accurate at longer distances – and it isn't. At 60', I was left wanting a little extra oomph, but it got the job done.
Scott calls the Flex a fast rod with a "faster" recovery speed. This is compared to the fast flex and "fastest" recovery speed of the Radian. Overall it's clearly a softer rod than the Radian – and that's a good thing. It means the rod is more forgiving and easier to cast.
Price: $475
Well, it's high time we did a $500 rod shootout. There are a lot of great rods in this price range and it seems that more are coming out each year. In 2011, there wasn't a $500 rod worth casting, but in 2016 we have the Winston Nexus, Orvis Recon, Sage Pulse, Hardy Jet, and now, the Scott Flex (among others).
As for the Flex, it's an excellent trout rod. For most people, it's a better trout rod than the Radian. It's easier to cast, and easier to cast accurately at mid distances. As you'd expect, however, it doesn't do *everything* better than the Radian (or any of the other top fly rods) and doesn't have super high line speeds or great long distance performance. Nevertheless, I can't overstate that this is an excellent rod for many trout anglers, particularly those interested in saving some $.

happy Monday
October 5, 2015
I'm still on the "clean the house and get rid of stuff" kick. Complicated by the fact that my parents and grandparents are doing the same thing and keep dropping off more boxes of stuff. I can't remember when I started but clearly this is going to take years. On the other hand, I managed to get rid of an entire box of books! Maybe there's hope!
If I spend a half-hour a day tidying for the next month, I think I can make a dent. Not that my house will actually look cleaner, but I'll feel better.
I need to knit something right freaking now. I haven't knitted anything in over a month.
Why haven't I started knitting something? Because I spent last week making my niece's Halloween costume:
Emmy and her dad have been reading Zita the Spacegirl, and so that's who she wants to be this year. I obliged. I'm pretty proud of this one. It's the first accurate cosplay I've attempted for someone else. And it's TINY. So adorable. I can't stop giggling.

That's a great outfit! Your niece will love it!

Kosovo's parliament approved the declaration of independence from Serbia, backed by the U.S. and European allies. Kosovo had formally remained a part of Serbia even though it has been administered by the U.N. and NATO since 1999, when NATO airstrikes ended former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic's crackdown on ethnic Albanian separatists.
Russia claimed the declaration violates the U.N. Charter ensuring the territorial integrity of member nations and threatens "the escalation of tension and ethnic violence in the region, a new conflict in the Balkans."
The ministry called for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, where Russia holds veto power as a permanent member. The Council planned to meet later on Sunday.
Russia wants the council to renew efforts - long-since pronounced dead by the U.S. and other Western nations - to reach a negotiated settlement of Kosovo's status.
Russia has stressed its opposition to any decision on Kosovo's status that is not accepted by Serbia. It has warned that recognition of Kosovo by the United States and other nations would encourage separatists in the former Soviet Union, across Europe and around the world.
Underscoring Russia's claim that Kosovo's declaration violates an existing Security Council resolution on Kosovo, the ministry urged the U.N. mission and NATO forces there to carry out their mandate by "annulling the decisions of the Pristina government organs and taking severe administrative measures against them."
Russia is widely expected to block recognition of Kosovo in the United Nations and continue backing traditional ally Serbia.
President Vladimir Putin said Friday that Russia would not "ape" the West, indicating it would not immediately recognize long-standing independence claims of pro-Russian separatist regions in ex-Soviet Georgia.
The Interfax news agency quoted the leaders of those regions, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as saying they would soon appeal to Russia and the United Nations for recognition.
"We believe that we have a greater right to recognition of our independence by the international community than Kosovo does," Irina Gagloyeva, spokeswoman for South Ossetia's separatist government, told The Associated Press. "It will now be harder for the West to ignore our demands."
Abkhazia's Vice-President Raul Khadzhimba, also reached by the AP, said his province would step up efforts to win recognition - "first of all from Russia." Neither Gagloyeva nor Khadzhimba would confirm plans for any formal appeals, however.
Putin has built his popularity on restoring Russia's pride after a period of post-Soviet humiliation, and Moscow's firm stance on Kosovo comes amid growing Kremlin assertiveness toward the West.
Putin has held out backing for Kosovo as a glaring example of double-standards and dangerous disregard for international law.

Sometimes its hard to believe just how connected Glasgow is with Hollywood. But it's true, our bonny city in the heart of Scotland has plenty of famous stories to tell, from actors born and bred on Glaswegian soil to our familiar streets being used in movies. And it's easy to see why Glasgow is so popular, although us locals can forget just how lucky we are. After my last blog post I realized just how little I knew about Glasgow and its links to movies, which is why for the next couple of posts I'll be researching and talking about just that.
I found myself startled when I started to research Glaswegian actors, the pure volume of hits was crazy – not to mention the big names I found. One of the most well known probably being James McAvoy star of movies such as 'X-men: First Class', 'Wanted' and 'The Last King of Scotland'. McAvoy got his international break when he appeared as Mr. Tumnus in 'The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' with roles coming thick and fast after it was released. James McAvoy grew up in Drumchapel and studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (which I drive by on a daily basis). In June last year crowds filled the streets of Glasgow to see James carry the Olympic torch through his hometown and it was clearly a very proud moment for him, even compared to the many other monumental moments such as winning Baftas and awards from the Cannes Film festival. He is currently working on multiple roles including a 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' and he stars in 'Welcome to the Punch' as Detective Max Lewinsky, released this coming Friday (March 15th 2013). For a boy from our city, he has clearly done well, from his success in movies to being chosen as one of People Magazines 'Sexiest men alive', James McAvoy does Glasgow proud.
Did you know?!- James McAvoy is a Celtic Supporter.
I doubt there is a Glaswegian alive that doesn't know of 'The Big Yin' – Billy Connolly, and his numerous talents. I have plenty of fond memories of watching his videos and DVDs in my dads living room with the McGinley clan, giggling at his use of all those bad words. And there were a lot of them, believe me. At six I remember watching him in 'The man who sued God' and as my dad told me that he was 'brought up just down the road' I gazed at him in wonder. While best known for his stand up Billy Connolly has stared in numerous movies, from kids movies like 'Pocahontas' and 'Brave' to those more for for an older viewing audience, like 'The X-files- I want to believe' (he's met Mulder *swoon*) and 'The last Samurai' , working alongside Tom Cruise. I personally look forward to seeing Billy Connelly in the upcoming Hobbit films that he is working on just now, one scheduled to be released later this year. In July 2001 Billy Connolly received an honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow and he was awarded the CBE from the queen in 2003. It's amazing to think that this man, known and loved worldwide, has a net worth of approximately $20 million and yet was 'brought up just down the road'. Billy Connolly genuinely cares about Glasgow, and even though he moved to America it wasn't long before he had to return home.
Another fun fact: Billy Connelly is a Celtic supporter, and has been since he was a little boy (I swear I haven't done this deliberately. Purely coincidental!)
Thanks for reading (even if you were forced with the threat of violence.)

For Today
Outside my window . . . sunny and 35 degrees.
I am thinking . . . how peaceful and quiet this morning has been. I love mornings like this.
I am thankful . . . for sunshine.
In the kitchen . . . I put together a muffin tin meal for the kids for the first time ever. I hope they enjoy it, I'm pretty sure I would if I were a preschooler.
I am wearing . . . very mismatched clothes because I needed to do laundry. Better coordinated clothes are in the dryer now.
I am going . . . to pick up Lauren from preschool soon. This afternoon I will be taking Michael to his PT appointment.
I am wondering . . . if I'll get to talk to the occupational therapist today about getting a lock for Michaels carseat?
I am hoping . . . Austin feels better soon.
I am looking forward to . . .schoolwork with the kids this afternoon.
I am learning . . . that pets are as much work as kids.
Around the house . . . Amanda is helping Michael with his shower, the baby is playing happily and quietly, Austin is resting because he's not feeling good - headache and stomache. Boo.
I am pondering . . . James 2:18 - But someone will say, "You have faith, I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
A favorite quote for today . . . Note to self: finding a cool quote and writing it in your journal is not a substitute for Getting. It. Done. ~ Betsy Canas Garman
One of my favorite things . . . sleep.
A few plans for the rest of the week . . . Valentine's Day fun with the kids tomorrow.
A peek into my day . . . Michael cutting out valentine's that I printed for him to give out tomorrow.

Photography Festival – Seeing Why They See The Way They See
Since the past several months, I have been in two minds on the place of conversation within photography. And every time I attend a photography festival, I realise why my thoughts tend to veer in two opposite directions.
The pioneering colourist William Eggleston had once said, "Whatever it is about pictures, photographs, it's just about impossible to follow up with words. They don't have anything to do with each other." There is, of course, great irony in the fact that I subscribe to Eggleston's distrust for words. Having written on the medium for the greater part of a decade, I have indulged in precisely what he warns against. And yet it was six months ago at Silk Inspire 2017, that I reassessed my thoughts, and realised why there is a conflict in the first place. What is it about photo festivals and conferences that speak to each one of us? And what is it about them that we should be wary of?
Photography Festival – Delve Deep Inside The Work Of Someone You Admire
Photo festivals allow us to transpose ourselves into the minds of others. Behind every photographer is a human being, with his or her delightful little contradictions. A festival is a space that allows us to engage with photography, and with photographers. It lets us discover the person behind the persona, the quirks, the motivations, the failings, it is where the personal meets the photographic.
This moment of connection may take place when the photographer is on stage, but often, happens elsewhere, away from the arclights. It may happen when you observe how they initiate a conversation over lunch, or how their eyes light up at any visual opportunity. It may happen if they choose to be vulnerable, while talking to you. It may happen if you allow yourself to be vulnerable enough, to respond. It may happen, like a lot of beautiful things in the world, over beer. It may happen, in between.
For instance, a couple of days after Silk Inspire, my friend Natasha asked Zack Arias and Seshu if they'd like to explore Mapusa and make some pictures. I tagged along for the conversation (and the impending pork sorpotel). An hour into our walk, I was making a portrait of my friend with the mirror of a bike reflecting light on her face. My peripheral vision caught Zack looking at me, seeing what I saw. Quietly but instinctively, he turned the mirror by the slightest of degrees.
Before Silk Inspire, I was intricately aware of Zack's visual journey, having followed his photos and his online discourse over the years. But in that one splitsecond, I connected to Zack Arias more than I ever had.
In a world of intermingling chatter, nuance seems to have been left behind. Even while writing on photography, it is only the rare interview that manages to go within. Others merely skim the surface. A photography festival allows us to delve deep inside the work of someone who we admire, as long as we keep our eyes open and look beyond the obvious.
Are We Able To Go Beyond?
Usually, the first thing that we notice about a photographer is their subject matter. Jen Huang, for instance, photographs delicate, understated objects that speak of the wedding story. Erika and Lanny Mann revel in photographing the chaos that lies within joy.
The photographer's craft is the next thing we tend to notice, and, I daresay, obsess over. How does Jeff Newsom conjure up these unimaginable double exposures? How does Sergey Ivanov create these crazy worlds digitally? Of course, we trivialise the very idea of craft, by assuming that it is a coming together of gear and technique. Craft is a conversation that a craftsman has had with his or her tools over months, years and decades. It's not about which gimmick from a bag of tricks do I unveil. Will the Magmod help me shape light in the way Jesus shaped the waters? Will the new Profoto make me Two Mann? No man.
Craft is relatively obvious. A way of seeing, not as much. Is a photographer able to marry his or her craft with vision? Does their sensitivity to light meet sensitivity to emotion?
The next step to appreciating a photographer's work is probably the toughest. It is when we go beyond recognising what they see and the way they see it, to actually seeing why they see the way they see.
The Piece That Completes The Puzzle
For however much we may study someone's work or fanboy over their Instagram feed, being able to experience the artist can be a crucial step in being able to experience the art. It is a tiny step, like a small part of a giant jigsaw, but it is usually the piece that completes the puzzle.
The problem with too much talk, to come back to what Eggleston said, is that it can become an echo chamber. I strongly believe that wedding photography in India is facing a crisis of authorship. While I hope that festivals and conferences can help us get past trends, I sometimes wonder if they only perpetuate them.
I never thought that I'd quote Spider-Man in the same piece where I am quoting William Eggleston (though hey, both are photographers, one can say). Silk does Inspire. But inspiration is a powerful thing, and with great power, comes great responsibility. Studying the work of others is an important step in finding one's own path, but not an excuse in merely following them on the road that they have crafted. We need to sensitise ourselves to observe the little things. We need to sensitise ourselves to go beyond.

New to shore fishing this year , I have always done a bit when salmon season was over but I'm really after taking to the sea fishing this year and bought some half decent gear . I'm doing ok with the fixed spool cast but I went away and got a Penn 525 mag having never really used them before . I have a 13 "6 Shakespeare agility Mx rod and there is 18lb mono with a 18-60 lb shock leader
I'm not getting birds nests which is a good thing I suppose but I'm struggling to match the fixed spool cast and I have to use a lot more energy casting the multiplier for little distance. I suppose I should try make a video but is there any basic things that I might be overlooking ,do people still meet up to practice ?

My Kinda White Wednesday.......
i don't do a lot of blog hops/parties.
like many others, i prefer to post what i want, when i want.
maybe that's a cop out because i'm so disorganized and
unable to remember which day is what blog party.
probably that:)
but my all time favorite has been White Wednesday by
I went to post my white wednesday post today to find
that Kathleen has decided to stop hosting this.
like me, she has many other things going
and wants to post when it suits her best.
but i will miss this!
cause i just love all things white!
anyway, here is my white wednesday post.......
as you know, i love decorating with white.
but not just "white" white.
i mean white, ecru, cream, eggshell, champagne, marshmallow......
all shades.
i love throwing in a bit of wood.....
especially dark wood and faded/rustic wood.
and metallics........burnished golds and silvers.
i think the most important thing to do if using whites is to remember this:
layer different textures, whether wearing whites
or decorating with them.
contrary to what many think, white is not cold.......
used like this it's incredibly cozy.
we have a white Christmas tree and it couldn't be
warmer, cozier and just plain gorgeous.
and my husband made a very grave error Sunday
when he said he didn't care if we put our tree up........
Phil......consider it done!
here is a little collage of some whites.
sorry for the winter scenes,
but it's so DOGGONE hot down here, i had to do this to feel nice and cool:)
.......notice the metallics, textures and various shades.
the only thing missing is a
white hot cocoa
and lastly, here's a piece of advice i need to remember.........
hope you liked my whites!
Labels: Christmas, decorating, faded charm, Pretty, White Wednesday, whites, Winter, winter white

DAVENPORT, IA ––January 2019 –Gilda's Club is now accepting participants interested in the Enhancing Connections program for cancer patients with children. This five-session program will meet bi-weekly at Gilda's Club (1234 East River Drive, Davenport).
Enhancing Connections is a cancer education program available to parents who have a five to 17-year-old and who are diagnosed with early stage cancer (Stage 0-III) and within 12 months of diagnosis. The program was created in response to parents expressing the challenges they experienced in responding to their child during treatment for cancer.
"She didn't really talk about it. Maybe that's because she didn't know how to put it into words," stated the parent of a 9-year-old.
The program includes ways you can:
- Enhance communication with your child in talking about your cancer
- Draw out your child's feelings and concerns about your cancer
- Support your child and decrease stress related to your cancer
Enhancing Connections is made available through a grant from the National Cancer Institute and is being evaluated as part of a research study.
Parents who do not meet the study parameters are still encouraged to contact Anita Shaft, Gilda's Club Program Manager, if interested.
For eligibility details and to enroll, please call Gilda's Club at 563-326-7504 or email email@example.com.

|The Firefly family
"The Devil's Rejects"
Family members
Mother Firefly; Earl Firefly; Hugo Firefly; Rufus Firefly, Jr.; Baby Firefly; Tiny Firefly; Otis B. Driftwood
Bill Hudley; Mary Knowles; Jerry Goldsmith; Denise Willis; Roy Sullivan; Gloria Sullivan; Adam Banjo; Wendy Banjo
First Appearance
Last Appearance
The Firefly family is a clan of loosely-related individuals who existed as brutal violent serial killers in the town of Ruggsville, Texas throughout the 1970s. Their actual surnames are unknown. They began using the "Firefly" alias at the suggestion of a man who called himself Otis B. Driftwood. All of the family members, including Otis, adopted aliases based upon film characters originally portrayed by comedian Groucho Marx. The Firefly name came from a character named Rufus T. Firefly from the 1933 film Duck Soup.
The Family That Slays Together Edit
The eldest member of the group was a man known affectionately as Grandpa Hugo. Very little is known about this individual, save that he is likely the father of Eve Wilson, who had since adopted the nickname Mother Firefly. It is believed that Grandpa Hugo may have had some connection to a psychotic surgeon named S. Quentin Quale, who carved himself legendary status under the pseudonym Doctor Satan. Some sources suggest that Hugo may have actually been Doctor Satan, while others assert that he masqueraded as him on occasion. [1]
Eve Wilson, aka, Mother Firefly, was a former prostitute who had sired children through various fathers. One of these men, presumably named Rufus, gave her a son who was known as Rufus Firefly, Jr. (or RJ). Another man, Earl, who may have been Eve's common law husband, was the father of Tiny. When Tiny was a young boy, Earl suffered a psychotic break, poured gasoline on his son and set him on fire. Tiny survived, but suffered third degree burns over his entire body.
Around the year 1947, Eve Wilson was involved with a man named Johnny Lee "Cutter" Johns. Together they had a daughter named Vera-Ellen. Cutter stayed with Eve for some time to help her raise their child, but eventually separated from her to pursue his own ambitions. Cutter eventually became a local celebrity going by the name of Captain Spaulding (another Marx reference) and established a roadside attraction known as Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen. Vera-Ellen, nicknamed Baby remained at home and grew up with her half-siblings Rufus, Jr. and Tiny.
The Drifter Edit
At some point in the mid 1960s, the family met Otis B. Driftwood. Otis quickly became very close with Eve Wilson, Cutter and Baby. Insinuating himself into the family, he often bickered with Cutter over who should be the authoritative figure in the household. It was Otis who convinced the others to assume aliases based on Groucho Marx characters. Rumor has it that Otis and Vera-Ellen joined a cult worshiping Doctor Satan, but were later kicked out after Otis stabbed a cult leader to death. [2]
By the 1970s, the Firefly family members had developed a depraved lifestyle which consisted of kidnapping, torture, mutilation and murder. As late as 1977, the Fireflys were responsible for the disappearances of more than seventy-five people, most of whom were teenage girls.
House of 1000 Corpses Edit
In October of 1975, Captain Spaulding met four youths named Bill Hudley, Mary Knowles, Jerry Goldsmith and Denise Willis, who came into his museum and went on a trip on his "Murder Ride". Jerry and Bill were interested in the legend of Doctor Satan, and Spaulding gave them directions to a cemetery where the infamous doctor was allegedly buried. Little did they know that Spaulding was actually sending them directly into the hands of the Firefly. Mother Firefly invited them into her home and took particular interest in Jerry Goldsmith, while her daughter Baby had fun flirting with Bill Hudley, much to the chagrin of Bill's girlfriend, Mary. They staid for an awkward candle-lit dinner in which Mother made everyone at the table, including their guests, wear bizarre masks while they ate. Following the meal, Grandpa Hugo hosted a special "Showtime" event in which Baby Firefly performed a vaudeville-style dancing act on stage. She again flirted with Bill Hudley, which enraged Mary Knowles and the two women came to blows.
The four guests were asked to leave, but they did not get far. Otis, Rufus and Tiny ambushed their vehicle on the road and took them all captive. Otis engaged in his more creative passions and dismembered Bill, reconfiguring his limbs into a freakish, sideshow attraction that he dubbed Fish Boy. Baby entertained herself by partially scalping Jerry Goldsmith.
On Halloween night, the Fireflys dressed Jerry, Mary and Denise in adult-sized rabbit costumes and marched them out to a nearby cemetery. Otis donned black and white skull makeup and administered over a strange, occult ritual. Mary tried to flee, but Baby chased her down and stabbed her to death. Otis, Rufus and Mother took Jerry and Denise, locked them inside a coffin and lowered them into the underground tunnels dominated by the true Doctor Satan. They then burned Mary's remains in a ritualistic funeral pyre.
The Devil's Rejects Edit
In the Spring of 1978, the Ruggsville County Sheriff's Department had enough evidence on the Firefly family to begin making arrests. On May 18th of that year, they raided the Firefly ranch and engaged in a shoot-out with the depraved family. Rufus, Jr. was killed during the fire fight and Mother Firefly was arrested. Otis and Baby managed to escape and Tiny was elsewhere at the time of the siege.
Otis and Baby took refuge inside the Kahiki Palms Motel where they tortured and killed the room's present occupants, Roy Sullivan, Gloria Sullivan, Adam Banjo, Wendy Banjo and a roadie named Jimmy. They reunited with Captain Spaulding and the three stole a van and drove to a brothel owned by Spaulding's brother, Charlie Altamont.
During this time, Sheriff John Quincy Wydell, brother of Firefly victim George Wydell had interrogated Mother Firefly and learned the truth about his brother's death. This knowledge drove him over the edge and he stabbed Mother Firefly to death inside the interrogation room. He then hired two bounty hunters named Rondo and Billy Ray Snapper to help him capture the remaining family members.
The following evening, Wydell and the bounty hunters (who went by the collective name of The Unholy Two) raided Charlie's Frontier Fun Town brothel and captured Baby, Otis and Spaulding. He brought them back to the Firefly ranch where he tortured them at length. He stapled photographs of the Fireflys' victims to Otis and Baby's chests and zapped Captain Spaulding with a cattle prod. He then let Baby go with the intent of hunting her down and set the farmhouse on fire with Otis and Spaulding still trapped inside. Wydell shot Baby in the leg and tried to strangle her to death, but Tiny Firefly appeared and snapped Wydell's neck, killing him. He then set Spaulding and Otis free. Tiny knew that his family members would not likely survive the night due to their wounds as well as their fugitive status. No longer wishing to live, Tiny stayed inside the house and elected to burn to death rather than live alone.
Otis, Baby and Spaulding took Charlie Altamont's Cadillac and drove on through morning. The next day, they spotted a police roadblock and knew that this was the end of the road for them. They decided to go out guns-blazing and charged the barricade.

Transparency International, an anticorruption watchdog, monitors the relationship between politics and money around the world. Measuring corruption is difficult and subjective, but in 2015 the group compiled a Corruption Perceptions Index that ranks 168 countries based on the perception of corruption in the public sector.
The lowest ranked nations were, according to the group, all plagued by "conflict and war, poor governance, weak public institutions like police and the judiciary and a lack of independence in the media."
SomaliaRank 167; Score 8/100
Tied for last place on the list, Somalia scored an 8 out of 100 points, with 0 indicating a highly corrupt country and 100 indicating a very clean one.
In July 2013, the United Nations Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea issued a report in which it accused Somalia's central bank of effectively functioning as a "slush fund."
Charges of endemic corruption have made it difficult for Somalia's government to receive money directly from foreign donors and to reclaim overseas assets.
North KoreaRank 167; Score 8/100
North Korea, a Communist country controlled by Kim Jung-un, the third member of a family dynasty, ranks among those countries where public power is most "exercised for private gain," according to Transparency International.
Despite corruption being a fact of life, the regime uses allegations of graft as a powerful tool against its enemies.
In May, Ri Yong-gil, a prominent general, was demoted. It was previously reported that he had been executed on charges of corruption.
AfghanistanRank 166; Score 11/100
In September, an American audit found that out of 83 senior officials in the past two Afghan governments, only one — the current president, Ashraf Ghani — fully complied with financial disclosure laws.
The United States and its allies have long seen fighting corruption as crucial to Afghanistan's long-term success.
Public anger over rampant graft in Afghanistan is a reason many citizens are dissatisfied with the Western-supported government and have begun to support the Taliban insurgents.
SudanRank 165; Score 12/100
Since achieving independence in 1956, Sudan has been racked by civil war.
But the country also has some of Africa's largest oil reserves, creating imbalances along economic and ethnic lines.
South SudanRank 163; Score 15/100
Leaders of the two sides responsible for mass killings and rapes in an ongoing conflict in South Sudan have amassed enormous wealth, some of it illegally, according to an investigative report released in September.
The families and top associates of the principal opponents in the conflict, President Salva Kiir and his rival and former vice president, Riek Machar, own multimillion-dollar properties, drive luxury cars and stay at expensive hotels.
AngolaRank 163; Score 15/100
Rich in natural resources, Angola is endemically corrupt, creating a stark contrast between wealthy urban elites and the rural poor.
The columnist Nicholas Kristof last year called the country an "oil-rich and fabulously corrupt country that also happens to be the deadliest place in the world to be a child."
Transparency International has blamed the problem in part on the "systematic looting of state assets, and a deeply entrenched patronage system."
LibyaRank 161; Score 16/100
In Libya, described as a "kleptocracy" by the State Department when President Muammar el-Qaddafi ruled the country and used its coffers to fund a lavish lifestyle, corruption remains rampant five years after the strongman's death.
Since Colonel Qaddafi's death during the upheaval of the 2011 Arab Spring, the country has been racked by instability and violence, further undermining the rule of law and increasing corruption.
IraqRank 161; Score 16/100
Corruption has plagued Iraq through the Saddam Hussein regime, the American occupation and the current political turmoil.
Millions of dollars in national oil revenues are lost annually because of corruption, according to American audits.
In April, hundreds of protesters stormed Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone and entered the Parliament building, waving Iraqi flags, breaking furniture and demanding an end to corruption.
VenezuelaRank 158; Score 17/100
Venezuela is the only country in the Americas included among the list's most corrupt governments.
Like similarly ranked countries, Venezuela is rich in natural resources but a drop in oil prices and endemic corruption has impoverished the country, leading to massive inflation and a lack of consumer necessities.
In March, the Obama administration renewed an executive order sanctioning individual Venezuelans accused of committing human rights violations and senior government officials accused of "significant public corruption."

NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information released their Global State of the Climate report about May 2016 yesterday. Among their findings was that May 2016 was the warmest May, globally, in 137 years of May data. ... the 2nd warmest May was the previous May.
Of course there's regional variation because weather affects local climate variables, and so for one chunk of the planet (the ocean just a bit north of West Antarctica) it looks like it was the record coldest. And hey things in the US were near average and according to a lot of Gizmodo commenters only the US exists so...
The 20th century average for May is 14.8°C (58.6°F) and this past May was 0.87 ± 0.13°C (1.57 ± 0.23°F) above that. Cutting the Earth into smaller pieces, it was the 2nd warmest Northern Hemisphere in May on record and the warmest Southern Hemisphere, with really seasonally warm temperatures being recorded in parts of Australia and New Zealand.
NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies released their May 2016 data earlier this week and it came to the same conclusion: that May 2016 was the warmest May in 137 years of measurements of global mean surface temperature.

The Reunion Part 3
By Maz McCoy
Kid rode beside Heyes as he headed back to Devil's Hole. He wasn't sure going with his friend to the outlaw hideout was such a good idea. He'd heard a lot about Big Jim Santana and he wasn't convinced he'd get along with the man. In truth he didn't like taking orders from anyone. However he was tired and still hurting and the chance to rest up, somewhere safe, for a few days was appealing. He would also be able to keep an eye on Heyes and a look out for Brannigan or his men, should they finally decide to come calling.
Heyes' voice pulled him back to the present. As they made their way up into the hills, his friend was telling him about one of the gang's recent bank robberies. He would turn in the saddle every now and then to check that Kid was still listening. The blond man nodded or muttered an occasional "Uh huh" just to let him know he was paying attention.
Kid was just glad to be riding with his old friend again. It felt right having Heyes beside him. He'd missed him, but he wasn't about to admit it to anyone, least of all Heyes.
"You know you never did tell me why you joined the Gang in the first place," Kid remarked, pulling on the reins to keep his horse on the right trail.
"I needed someone to watch my back," Heyes stated, by way of explanation. Kid looked across at him and Heyes knew he had to say more. Heyes always had more to say. "I was in a poker game and forgot one of the golden rules. I was watching the pot so closely I forgot to watch the players. One man didn't take too kindly to my winning so much. He muttered a few times, when he was at the table, but I didn't think much of it. I mean we've all met sore losers before, right?"
Kid nodded.
"He was waiting for me when I came out of the saloon, later. He'd brought a couple of friends along too. They jumped me and dragged me into an alley, then started to beat the Hell out of me. Jim pulled them off me. I was in a pretty bad way, bleeding, hungry and broke. Jim took me under his wing."
"Yeah, and turned you into a bank robber. Some friend."
"Says the gunslinger," Heyes muttered, but not so quietly that Kid didn't hear.
"I told you, I don't hire out my gun!"
"I know, I know, that's not what I meant, but you've robbed a bank. Or have you chosen to forget that?" Kid chose not to reply. "I guess I still needed someone to watch my back, Kid and you were no longer around."
"Oh so it's my fault?" Kid bristled.
"I didn't say that."
"It sounded like it to me!"
Heyes pulled his horse to a halt. He'd wanted to snap back a retort but checked himself, swallowing his reply. He didn't want to antagonise Kid, not when they had only recently reconciled. Heyes drew his gun. Kid's shoulders stiffened. Heyes smiled.
"Don't worry I'm not going to shoot you for running off."
Kid's expression remained serious.
"I thought you'd be safer without me," he suddenly admitted. Heyes waited, knowing there was more his friend wanted to say. "After that run in with McKenzie." Heyes mouth dropped open. So that was the reason he'd left.
"Kid, that wasn't your fault."
"The bullet was meant for me Heyes." Blue eyes met brown ones. "Not for you."
"So all that stuff about you leaving because I was just too darn bossy, wasn't true?"
"Well I wouldn't say that." Kid finally smiled. "I mean you did like to have things your own way most of the time."
"That's because I usually had the better ideas."
"In your opinion."
Heyes gave him a sideways glance.
"I thought you were dead for a while there," Kid admitted, seriously.
"If you hadn't been riding with me…" He didn't meet his friend's gaze.
"Kid, McKenzie was shooting at both of us. We were partners. What affected you affected me."
"Yeah but you were the one losing all the blood."
"I know but Abigail Cole was a very pretty nurse. So some good came of it." Kid smiled at the memory of the doctor's young daughter; his pretty, slim, brown-eyed young daughter. "She had very healing hands," Heyes remembered and Kid laughed.
"Yeah, I bet she did until her father caught you."
"There was nothing improper between me and Abigail."
"Heyes, she had some pretty…distinctive…healing methods if my memory serves correct. I've never had a nurse do to me what I saw…" he stopped, having forgotten that his friend didn't know.
"What you saw?" Heyes looked at him, mouth open in stunned amazement. "Just what did you see?"
"Well I was just looking in to see if you were okay…"
"And?" Two irritated brown eyes met amused blue ones.
"And you looked to be doing okay to me." Kid waited for his friend's reaction. After a moment he smiled. Heyes smiled too, then raised his gun in the air and fired three shots in quick succession.
"It's a bit late to be celebrating," Kid observed.
"It's a signal," Heyes explained and then pointed to a high ridge. Kid looked up, seeing a lone rider on a horse, watching them. Heyes waved and the man waved back. "Now we can ride on safely." Turning his horse, he led the way.
When they finally reached the hideout, Heyes rode in ahead of his friend. Kid's eyes scanned the numerous buildings and the assorted band of men emerging from them. Two men stood watching them from the doorway of the larger cabin, their hands resting on their guns. Another two sat on the corral fence, eyes fixed intently on the two riders. A scruffy young man, in a battered grey hat, strode towards them.
"Howdy Kyle," the dark-haired man called back.
"You heard about Jim?" Kyle asked anxiously, before he spat a gloop of tobacco juice on the ground.
"What about him?" Heyes lowered himself down from his horse.
"He's been caught!"
"Got arrested in Buffalo Springs."
Shock registered on Heyes' face.
"How d'you know?"
"I was there!" Kyle announced. "I was comin' out of the saloon when I saw it. Jim didn't stand a chance. There was a sheriff and a whole bunch o'men. Came outta nowhere. Jim was just sitting on his horse waiting for us. I tried to help but…well shoot Heyes there was more'n ten of them."
"We have to go get him out." Heyes caught hold of the reins of his horse and turned back to the saddle.
"It's too late."
"What do you mean?"
"They tried him the next day. He's already on his way to prison, Heyes; might even be there by now."
Heyes looked dumbfounded.
"How did they find him?"
"I don't know." Kyle studied his friend's face. "What are we gonna do now?"
"I don't know," Heyes admitted.
"Who's gonna be leader?"
"I don't know that either Kyle." Heyes gave a heavy sigh. Big Jim…captured! It was hard to accept.
Kyle looked up at the other man still sitting on his horse, as if noticing him for the first time. The man hadn't said a word.
"Who's he?" Kyle asked.
"A friend." Heyes stated, vaguely, still stunned by Jim's arrest and incarceration.
"He joinin' us?"
"I don't know." Heyes realised that he had no idea what Kid was going to do. There were a lot of things he didn't know, at that moment, and it was an uncomfortable feeling, for the usually confident young man. Big Jim arrested…how could that be?
"He sick?" The question surprised Heyes and he turned to look at Kid, suddenly seeing him through Kyle's eyes. Sitting on the brown horse, his arms resting on the saddle horn, was a tired, trail-worn, young man with dark circles beneath his eyes. His coat was dirty, his hat battered and dusty, but he was watching the scene, unfolding before him, with an experienced eye. However, Kyle was right, Kid didn't look well.
"He's just been on the trail a long time," Heyes explained. "He's gonna rest up here a while."
"Well we got hot coffee if he wants a cup." Kyle headed into the main cabin as Heyes walked back to his friend.
"You getting down?"
"Am I welcome?"
"Of course you are."
"What happens now?" Heyes looked puzzled. "Now Big Jim's gone?"
"I'm not sure." Heyes looked at the main cabin, wondering what the others would say.
"You okay? I know he was a friend."
"I don't know what I'm feeling." Heyes took a breath. "Come on, Kyle says the coffee's hot."
"Is it better than yours?"
Heyes suppressed a smile.
"Come inside and find out." Heyes headed towards the cabin, pausing in the open doorway, he turned in time to see Kid grimace as he eased himself from the saddle. So he was still hurting.
Several men looked up as Heyes entered the cabin. Taking a mental head count, he realised that not all of the gang were back yet.
"You heard?" Lobo asked, as he got up from one of the bunks.
"Yes," Heyes nodded.
"What are we gonna do?" Lobo scratched his head, then stretched his back muscles.
"Doesn't sound like there's much we can do." Heyes headed towards the stove and the coffee.
"Well someone's gonna hafta be leader," Kyle reminded them.
"Who wants to do it?" Lobo asked. Several men looked at Heyes and then passed him to the stranger in the doorway. Realising the focus of their attention, Heyes did the introductions.
"Gentlemen, this is a friend of mine, Jed Curry." One or two men recognised the name. Heyes stepped towards his friend, showing his support.
"Curry?" Lobo asked. Kid met his gaze. "You Kid Curry?"
"I am," the blond man stated. "Is that a problem?" There was an ominous silence until Lobo replied.
"Not for me. Heck if you're as fast with a gun as they say, you're more than welcome." He smiled and the other men relaxed. Heyes smiled, reassuringly at his friend. He patted Kid on the arm, forgetting his bullet wound and Kid flinched, a move not lost on those around them.
"Let's get you some coffee," Heyes said quickly. Kid followed him to the stove and Heyes poured them each a cup of the hot brew.
"Why don't you rest up for a bit?" Heyes suggested, nodding his head at the bunks, as they sipped their drinks. "The bottom one at the far end isn't taken," Kid's eyes scanned the faces of the other men in the room. Heyes saw his hesitation. "Go on. I'll watch your back this time."
Kid nodded, grateful, and headed towards the bunk. The bed creaked when he sat on it. Several pairs of eyes watched him grimace as he lay down. Kid covered his face with his hat and not long after Heyes noted the steady rise and fall of his friend's chest. Was he asleep? He hoped so. Either way, Kid's hand still lay close to his gun. Heyes suppressed a smile and turned to the rest of the gang. Pulling out a chair at the table he sat down.
"So fellas what are we gonna do?"
At the sound of gunfire, several men, in various states of undress, ran out of the cabin, guns drawn, bleary eyes scanning the surrounding bushes for signs of a posse. Instead, they found Hannibal Heyes sitting casually on a rock as Kid Curry walked towards him. The blond man twirled his gun a couple of times and dropped it back into his holster. Heyes smiled at the Gang.
"Mornin' fellas," he said cheerfully. The men looked confused and not entirely pleased by the early morning wake up call. At least it was early if you'd sat up half the night playing poker, drinking and bragging.
"We heard shootin'," Kyle stated.
"That was just Kid, practicing."
"Fellas," Kid said in greeting, as he approached. There was some mumbling and unneeded guns were returned to their holsters.
"You really as fast as they say?" Lobo asked, noticing a couple of cans lying on the ground behind a far boulder.
"I don't know. How fast am I supposed to be?" Kid asked, leaning against the rock next to Heyes.
"Well sheesh, I heard you woz faster than everyone there is," Kyle told him.
"I'm not sure if that's true," Kid said honestly. "I don't think I've met everyone there is." Heyes suppressed a smile and shot his friend a sideways glance. Kid looked better, more relaxed, this morning. It was amazing what a belly full of Lobo's stew and a goodnight's sleep on a bunk, instead of the hard ground, had done for the blond man's disposition. Despite the raucous laughter and raised voices late into the night, Kid had slept well.
Before anyone could ask for a demonstration of the newcomer's skills, they heard the sound of riders approaching. More of the gang had returned at last, including Deke Stevens, one man Heyes expected to challenge for the leadership.
The men pulled their horses to a halt in front of the cabins. Other members of the gang gathered round them.
"Is it true?" Deke asked as he swung his left leg over the saddle and slid down from the horse. "They've got Big Jim?" He looked at Heyes for confirmation.
"So I'm told," Heyes replied. "Kyle saw it, you'd better ask him."
Deke turned towards Kyle.
"That true?"
"Sure is," Kyle stated, pulling back his shoulders, self-importantly, as he did so. "I saw it all. There was about fifteen of 'em."
"I thought it was ten?" Lobo stated.
"Well there woz a lot. They surrounded Big Jim and marched him off to jail. There was a judge in town and they tried him the next day." He watched as Deke took this in. "He's probably already in prison. We were talkin' about who should be leader now."
Deke shot a look at Heyes.
"Well I reckon it should be me," he stated confidently. Deke was a tall, broad shouldered man, with dark hooded eyes. A thick, dark moustache covered his top lip and his nose had been broken in too many fights. He looked like the brawler he was and everyone knew Deke had a quick temper. He watched Heyes for his reaction. The younger man met his gaze.
"Why you?" Lobo asked and Deke turned to face him.
"Because I know how to command men. I know how to plan a robbery better than Big Jim ever did." He could see he had their attention, if not their faith. "I've got big plans for us. I know a couple of banks we should hit."
Did the rest of the gang really want to follow him, Heyes wondered? He looked at their faces. It was obvious many of the men were afraid of him, but was this what they wanted?
"I want to make this the most feared gang in the west," Deke added.
Kyle looked at Lobo who looked at a man named Butler, who looked at the man standing beside him. None of them knew what to say. Someone had to break the silence.
"Who says we want to be feared?" Heyes asked, flatly. Slowly, Deke faced him.
"I do. You got something to say about that Heyes?" His hand dropped to the gun at his side, and his dark eyes narrowed. Men backed away, recognising an imminent stand off.
"I don't think we need to be the most feared, just the most successful," Heyes told him, not backing away. He remained leaning against the boulder, not rising to Deke's challenge. "It's not much use people being scared of you if you're still poor."
"Well I say we do and if I'm gonna be leader you're gonna hafta do as I say."
"That assumes the boys want you to be leader." Heyes smiled, innocently. Except the look in his eyes told Deke something different.
"They'll follow me," Deke stated, his hand still at his hip.
"I'm not sure I'd want to follow you," Kid said, stepping forward, his arms folded across his chest.
"Who the hell are you?" the big man demanded, weighing up the young blond man.
"Just someone new here," Kid told him, and no one contradicted him.
"Well in that case you don't get a say."
"I thought all members of the gang would get a say."
"Well you're wrong. You got a problem with that?" Deke's fingers twitched.
"Maybe." Kid unfolded his arms, his eyes fixed on Deke's. The tension between them growing.
"I think we need to let the boys decide, don't you Deke?" Heyes interrupted.
"The boys will back me," Deke stated, confidently, his eyes still fixed on Kid.
"Well let's ask them. Gather round boys, Deke wants to ask you something," Heyes called, waving the men in closer. There was a break in the tension but Kid didn't take his eyes off the tall dark-haired man. Deke flashed the occasional glance in Kid's direction as he watched the men approach.
"Sounds like you want to be leader, Heyes," Deke observed.
"I reckon Heyes'd do a good job," Kyle told him, before he spat a gloop of tobacco juice into the bushes.
"Yeah, I think so too," Lobo agreed, bravely, hoping there was safety in numbers.
"And what does Heyes say to that?" Deke focused on Heyes. "Are you gonna challenge me?"
"For the leadership?" Heyes asked, feigning innocence.
Deke nodded.
"You know Deke, I think I just might. I think the boys deserve someone better." Once again Heyes gave him a pleasant smile, as he met Deke's eyes. His hand never went near his gun.
Deke's eyes narrowed. Heyes looked back at the gang. Deke's hand moved…
An explosion of sound stunned them all. Deke cried out. Still in its holster, his gun skidded across the ground, some distance away. Kid stood to one side, his Colt pointed at Deke. The gang stood watching, open mouthed in astonishment. It was left to Kyle to put into words their feelings of stunned awe at the amazing speed of Kid's draw.
"Ooo wee!" he cried, eloquently.
Heyes looked at Deke and then at Kid. The blond man didn't take his eyes from Stevens.
Kyle looked up at Kid with awe.
"That was fast," he stated.
Heyes was equally impressed. He'd known Kid was fast, he'd seen him draw on the man in the saloon, but he had no idea he was that quick. Finally Kid holstered his Colt, and then looked across at Heyes, who nodded his thanks.
"So men, what are we gonna do?" he asked.
"I vote Heyes for leader," Kyle told them.
"I reckon he'd be okay," Lobo agreed. There was a general nodding of heads. A show of hands was called for and Hannibal Heyes was officially voted the new leader of the Devil's Hole Gang. All the time, Deke Steven's eyes moved venomously between Heyes and the blond gunman. With the decision made, the men agreed it called for a celebration and headed into the cabin.
"You're welcome to stay Deke," Heyes offered. "If you're willing to follow my orders?"
"Nah, I reckon I'll ride out. I didn't know you got yourself a gun dog Heyes." Heyes shot a look at Kid, wondering how he would respond to that. Kid remained impassive. Stevens moved towards his gun, still in its holster.
"Leave it," Kid told him firmly.
Deke looked at Kid. The blond man's thumbs were hooked into his gun belt. Dekes' gun was temptingly close, but he had never seen anyone draw as fast as the man standing impassively before him. Who was he? Saying no more, the dark-haired man headed for his horse and swung himself into the saddle.
"I guess you want to be feared after all," Deke told Heyes, then turning his horse, he rode out. In silence, they watched him go.
"Thanks," Heyes said when Deke had disappeared from view.
"You're welcome." Kid looked back at the trail, thoughtful. "He could be back."
"Yeah, he could."
"Looks like you still need someone to watch your back."
Heyes looked at Kid.
"Yeah, I guess I do." He tried not to sound hopeful. Kid's expression was thoughtful.
"I could stick around for a while, just in case."
"You're staying?" Heyes could not hide his delight.
"I got nothing else to do." Kid looked at Heyes and then he smiled.

Carthage was founded by Phoenicians in 814 BCE, on the coast of what is now Tunisia. It grew to become a resplendent commercial metropolis with a glorious dual harbor—an architectural marvel for all to see. At its zenith its population may have approached a million. Contrary to popular myth and the fantasies of Flaubert in Salammbo, the Carthaginians did not engage in child sacrifice. The tophet in Carthage was a cemetery for children, but recent research by M. H. Fantar and others has revealed that the bones are of children of various ages, including many fetal remains, with no evidence that they were sacrificed—clearly the result of the infant mortality of the times. (More in another article.)
History is written by the victors. Nowhere is this dictum truer than in the case of the three wars waged between Carthage and Rome (264-241, 218-201, and 149-146 BCE). Even the name by which these conflicts are known reflects a Roman bias: Punic Wars. Surely historians in the maritime and mercantile city-state of Carthage would have referred to the conflicts as Roman Wars. As it is, historical records that were produced by the Carthaginian side have been totally obliterated or lost, and most of what we have was penned by pro-Roman sources. Of these sources, the two most important ones are the accounts of Polybius and Livy (Titus Livius).
