Sparks Middle School Shooter, 12, Got Gun From Home
October 23, 2013
The 12-year-old student who opened fire on a Nevada middle school campus, wounding two classmates and killing a teacher before he turned the gun on himself, got the weapon from his home, authorities said Tuesday.
Washoe County School District police said they are still working to determine how the boy obtained the 9mm semi-automatic Ruger handgun used in the Monday morning spree at Sparks Middle School. The boy’s parents are cooperating with authorities and could face charges in the case, police said.
Authorities say they’re withholding the seventh-grader’s name out of respect for his family.
At a news conference Tuesday, law enforcement and school officials again lauded the actions of 45-year-old math teacher and former Marine Michael Landsberry, who tried to stop the rampage before he was killed.

Second Oarfish in 1 Week Washes Up on Calif. Coastline

As big as both of these fish are, according to experts, they are on the small side, comparatively speaking. (Via Catalina Island Marine Institute ) “The oarfish, which can grow to more than 50 feet, is the world’s largest bony fish and lives mostly at great depths. Because of its size and menacing appearance, the oarfish may be the source of the sea serpent tales.” (Via Los Angeles Times )
Oarfish typically live more than 3,000 feet below…

Dunamase Part 2: Return to the Rock
October 23, 2013
Yesterday I posted some shots of my kids on there first Castle exploration. Today here are my shots from the Rock of Dunamase. The Rock was the first ruin I had shot back in May 2011, and I remember how pleased I was with the results at the time. Oh how times have changed. Its quite amazing to see the difference in the images from back then and what I shot at the weekend. If I shot the old images now they would be most definitely deleted, but I guess that is a good thing as it shows just how far I have progressed during this time. If your brave enough you can read the original post HERE. Some of the information about the great history and archaeology of this great site comes from the guys at Abarta Heritage. Please take a moment and check out the link at…
