No, that's really a Phoenix thing. They like to blade their desert up there and make it like it is back east, but with the downturn in construction, that leaves vast swaths of dust to get picked up by the wind. Down here in Tucson, we leave it a little more natural, and our dust problems are not to that degree. We're also ringed by mountains on all sides, so I suppose that protects us a bit, too.

Zimbabwe police bust gang of sperm harvesters
Correspondents Report Africa correspondent Ginny Stein
Posted November 06, 2011 12:39:10
Zimbabwe Police in Zimbabwe believe they have broken up a gang of women rapists who threatened or drugged their male victims in a series of crimes stretching nationwide over the past year.
Authorities say they arrested three women in possession of 31 used condoms.
The women have been remanded in custody after their accusers picked them out in a police line-up.
The first stories of women assaulting men emerged two years ago. Ever since, hardly a week has gone by without another report.
The stories have all been similar - men offered a lift by women driving expensive vehicles, only to find themselves sexually assaulted at gunpoint and their sperm harvested before being set free.
The arrests came after a vehicle being driven by the boyfriend of one of the women was involved in an accident.
The women arrived at the scene shortly afterwards, telling police they had to retrieve something from the car.
"At first they did not disclose what it was but when the police officers indicated that they had retrieved from the vehicle certain paper containing certain items, they admitted that it was there," Superintendent Andrew Phiri said.
Police say they are not exactly sure why the women have been harvesting sperm at gunpoint but there has been a lot of speculation that it is for use in traditional medicine.
"That speculation... has been going around but as the police, until we get something that is concrete, we will try and deal with it, those that we have arrested, to find out what exactly they wanted to use those things for," Superintendent Phiri said.
'Supernatural powers'
Sociologist Dr Watch Ruparanganda from the University of Zimbabwe has just published his thesis, Genitals Are Assets, about sexual practices in Zimbabwe.
He says this case confirms the value of sperm in traditional medicine.
"How could the people have more than 30 condoms on them if it wasn't for business," Dr Ruparanganda said.
"Obviously one here can see that it's some form of business otherwise people wouldn't spend time you know, harvesting sperm for nothing and they are risking their lives."
Dr Ruparanganda says body parts have long been used in traditional medicine of juju, as it is called in Zimbabwe.
"They are - these people who can manipulate supernatural powers," he said.
"We know that rituals in our society, in Zimbabwe over that takes place because traditionally for example business people here have been known to actually be involved in murder, in murdering of children hiring people to murder children so that they get some body parts and so on, blood and so on."
He says stealing sperm is the modern way of doing things, "so that they avoid the killing or the murdering".
The three women are now being held in custody in Zimbabwe's capital Harare to face court later this month.
Police are hopeful their capture will lead to further arrests.

i've thought of you recently, GG, your herp knowledge and healing a poorly lizard. We recently got a rescue Bearded Dragon. previous owners only fed him iceburg lettuce for the last couple of months and did not clean his enclosure. previous owners WERE co workers of a friend and my friend brought my new beardie to me otherwise i would have gone to punch the previous owner dude in the nads. Brian is "fattening" up and perked up now with a proper diet and vitamins/supplements. I started him of slow with mealworms, and crickets with their back legs removed as he was so slow to move and hunting wasn't happening. once he had a few meals in him he had the energy to hunt and in the next week or so I think I will see if he will eat a pinkie. He is rejecting veggies right now, but i will continue to offer. He is friendly and likes to snuggle on our chests. I think Brian "smiles". : )~<

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.
Now, that's a law our country could live with. :boink:

I've told other people this, and unfortunately it's true. In order to pass any law that requires congress to take a pay cut (or in this case on eligibility for re-election) it has to pass through congress. Now who in their right mind would decide to pass a rule that would mess with their personal finances? Besides, since con is the opposite of pro that means that CONgress is the opposite of PROgress right?

I was guessing as to the length. It's a 4 inch barrel. As for hitting what I'm aiming at, I have a pretty good pattern at about 25 feet. Which is pretty standard for any handgun. I can do the same thing with my dad's Ruger that has a 2 inch barrel.
