Colts starting DT arrested on drug charge

Here is another THUG playing football.  He is just another great example of an idol for our children to look up to...
 
Hey, then we like that in our society where children idolize and dress like convicts and gangsters without even knowing why they dress like that.  They think that it is cool..

INDIANAPOLIS - Indianapolis Colts starting defensive tackle Ed Johnson was arrested early Wednesday on a drug possession charge.

Colts president Bill Polian said the team was still gathering facts about the case before determining how it will discipline Johnson, but Johnson will not play Sunday at Minnesota.

"He will not play this week, for sure,'' coach Tony Dungy said.

Polian said Johnson was stopped for speeding between midnight and 1 a.m. on Interstate 465 just north of Indianapolis. Police also charged him with marijuana possession.

He later was released on bond from the Hamilton County Jail.

Johnson was temporarily expelled from Penn State in 2005 for violating the school policy on sexual misconduct and confining another student against the student's will. He was reinstated in 2006, but later suspended for the Outback Bowl for violating team rules.

The eight torodial magnets can be seen on the huge ATLAS detector with the calorimeter before it is moved into the middle of the detector. This calorimeter will measure the energies of particles produced when protons collide in the center of the detector.

Will it work or blow up the Earth?  We will soon find out!

Lets hope for the best!

I love the way this plants looks. The leaves are so glossy! The green really contrasts with the white wall behind it. The different angles that the stalks go are real nice against the wall as well. I love the glossy leaves that they have and they are very easy to take care of.

Bike Ride on Saturday Morning


On Saturday morning we rode the MCT trail system as the GORC mountain bike trails were very wet and muddy. We started our ride at 7.45am and made a 20 mile loop tarting at New Poag road and riding do to I255 and then back to our starting point. Total ride time was about 1.40 minutes.

We rode the Orange trail south to the MCT Bluff trail, then back to MCT Nature Orange Trail, connected to the Schoolhouse Red trail back to the Goshen trail north to the Watershed Blue to our parking area.

It was a besutiful morning and i cannot wait to go and do it this week at the regular GORC/SIUE ride at 6pm on Thursday evening.
