Normally I like to kick back Saturday and not think about anything in particular with no appointments to keep and no clocks to watch, but I dropped that routine last weekend. Editor Samantha Perry had gotten a text from the Beckley Gun Club, and that text had the magic words machine gun.

For several years, the Beckley Gun Club has hosted a Media Day at its gun range in Cool Ridge up on Flat Top Mountain. Its built on reclaimed strip mining land, and a really great piece of scenery. The mined out areas, now converted into gun ranges, form natural arenas for shooting. Bullets and shotgun pellets go right into cliffs. The sites remoteness also adds to safety.

I look forward to Media Day, and this year fellow sports reporter George Thwaites and photographer Jessica Nuzzo joined me for the shooting. I know the way pretty well it involves going up steep roads, many of the paved with gravel so I didnt have any problems; in fact, the route seemed shorter this year. George and Jessica traveled together and found the route a touch more daunting; the forest on either side of the road makes you think of cougar and Bigfoot sightings. As the old saying goes, once you think youre lost, youre there. Jessica told me after she and George arrived that they were thinking of turning back. I know theyre glad that they didnt.

We get to fire a variety of rifles, shotguns and pistols; the gun club provides all the firearms and ammunition. But this year there was some ammunition I could have provided: filled pop cans.

Shooters Roost brought a can cannon to this years event. Its an AR-15 rifle body with what looks like a mortar or rocket tube instead of a regular barrel. You load the rifle with a .223 Remington blank cartridge and load a 12-ounce can of soda pop into the tube.

Naturally, I had to try it. You hold it like you would a shotgun, and when the range supervisor gives you the OK, you take off the safety and fire. The kickis similar to what a shotgun gives you.

I fired a can of Diet Mountain Dew about 150 feet into the air. It smashed into a cliff, spraying Mountain Dew and embedding itself into the rock. I think that can is still there. After firing that, I announced, I want one! Cpl. James Long, of the West Virginia State Police Princeton Detachment, who is a gun club member, pointed out that you wouldnt want to get hit by that cannon. I agreed, and remarked that the state medical examiner would have a pretty strange report to write if anyone got hit. Struck by a round of Diet Mountain Dew would be an unusual cause of death.

Longs daughter Brittany, who is a champion shooter in NRA 3-Gun competition, demonstrated her skill when she shot two cans fired by the AR-15 launcher. What was really amazing was how the cans reacted to the buckshot. Instead of exploding, they seemed to peel apart in flight as they kept going in a straight line. Imagine an oranges peel suddenly spinning right off the fruit.

We also got to fire an automatic AR-15 short barrel rifle with a suppressor. I quickly learned that its a weapon you dont master quickly. Yes, it looks simple, but when on full automatic, the barrel wants to climb and you have to hang on tight; of course, I came away wanting one of those, too.

Of course, we learned about gun safety, too. Thanks to the clubs lessons, Ive come to think of firearms the same way I think of power tools like saws and drills. Theyre perfectly safe if you use them correctly. For instance, leaving a power saw plugged up is a bad idea, and so is leaving a firearm loaded and with its safety off. Im planning to get a pistol of my own, but I also plan to attend classes on how to use and store it safely. Im not looking to get into any gun battles or foolishness like that; just some target shooting on a range and self protection, which I hope would never be necessary.

I plan to attend next years Media Day, and I hope my friends at theDaily Telegraph will keep attending it, too. Its a great opportunity to use firearms and learn more about them.

'Can cannon,' AR-15 add extra kick to Media Day at the range - Bluefield Daily Telegraph

JUNE 30 Former law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has received a lot of flak for criticising the pilot of AirAsia Flight D7237 for asking passengers to pray during a turbulent flight that forced the plane to turn back to Perth.

Zaid had tweeted: Good lord, I much prefer pilot dont tell me death is imminent. Pilot has to give hope, and leave the rest to God and the passengers.

Some reports quoted a passenger as saying that the pilot had said: I hope you all say a prayer; I will be saying a prayer too and let's hope we all get back home safely, while other reports said the pilot had twice asked passengers to pray.

The key issue is really whether the pilot had followed SOP during emergencies. Does aviation SOP require passengers to be informed if a plane crash is inevitable?

It must be pointed out that Flight D7237 passengers were reportedly told to get into the brace position for landing. So it wasnt as if the pilot just asked everyone to pray without also giving them practical instructions on what to do during an emergency landing.

According to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the safety rule to follow is aviate, navigate, communicate. The top priority is to Aviate, which means flying the plane, before figuring out where you are and where youre headed (Navigate). The last step, Communicate, is talking to air traffic control or someone outside the plane. No mention of talking to the cabin.

Some have defended Zaid by saying that prayer should be a private matter and that the pilot had caused unnecessary panic.

Their sentiments are understandable, given how religion is often exploited in Malaysia for political purposes. PAS has often called for alcohol to be banned on Malaysia Airlines, ignoring the fact that the airline serves passengers of all faiths.

No one has a problem if you choose to abstain from alcohol, premarital sex or anything else, but that doesnt mean everyone else should be forced to follow suit. Its a bit like asking your friends to stop eating ice cream just because youre on a diet, or calling for meat to be banned just because youre vegetarian.

However, we shouldnt allow such instances of religious extremism to cloud our perspective.

While asking passengers to pray may have caused some to panic (theres no evidence of this based on videos showing relatively composed passengers on the AirAsia flight), prayer also has a calming effect.

We should recognise the serenity that prayer may bring to some people at times of powerlessness.

For atheists, well, they probably wouldnt be unduly panicked at ominous warnings anyway since theyre likely to see death as a natural part of life.

The most important fact is that the pilot did his job he flew the plane well and got everyone to safety despite the failure of one engine on the twin-engine aircraft. What he said to passengers was secondary and didnt seem all that frightening (it wasnt as if he said Were all going to die).

There have been worse cabin crew announcements on other planes, such as one on Ryanair whose passengers were reportedly told by a flight attendant: We have ice on the wings and we don't want to die (a bad joke). Then theres a Southwest Airlines pilot who said: Were in trouble, were going down (the plane landed safely).

Of course, Captain Eric Moody on British Airways Flight 9 from Kuala Lumpur on June 24, 1982, showed the ultimate sangfroid when the plane flew into a cloud of volcanic ash caused by the eruption of Mount Galunggung in Indonesia.

He told passengers: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.

The plane landed safely in Jakarta.

* This is the personal opinion of the columnist.

Cats conquered the internet. Now theyre after games.

Spawning a litany of outrageous memes, I sometimes get the feeling these furry felines have sneakily taken control of the internet. Cat simulators, cats underwater, politi-cats, Nyan cats, is there anywhere they havent been? The moon, probably. I believe Gromit made it there first. Anyway, it goes without saying cats have claimed shares in video games with varying degrees of sophistication. From Atari to PlayStation to PC, weve seen cats leaping through windows, searching for lost frogs, and even ones stuck in a depressed funk without employment. Weve selected some memorable games starring cats below, but if weve skipped one of your favourites? Let us know!

1. Garfield

If youve ever read the comics, youll be all too familiar with Garfield, the worlds laziest cat period. In the eponymous PlayStation and PC games, players had to help Garfield clean the house or risk going on a diet. Normally, thats a good thing, but when you love lasagna as much as he does, its tantamount to punishment. Garfield also appeared in subsequent titles on Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Wii.

2. Night in the Woods

Website |itch.io | Steam| Bandcamp| Shop

Released to critical acclaim,Night in the Woodsis an arthouse indie adventure that covers atypical themes like depression and mental illness. It was funded on kickstarter in just over a day, and after four years of development, the story of Mae Borowski was ready. After dropping out of college, Mae winds up back in her home town of Possum Springs, but something feels off. Jobless and lacking any real direction, she tries reconnecting with her old friends, which eventually results in finding a trail of clues that lead to the woods.

3. Alley Cat

Alley Catslimited neon colour palette might seem boring by todays standards, but this game is a darling of the 1980s. In it, you control an energetic black cat that jumps around trash cans, dodging dogs and jumping through open windows to complete a slew of difficult minigames. Originally released for Atari,Alley Catmade the leap to PC, and can still be played today on the Internet Arcade.

4. HK

Development blog

This title certainly doesnt give away much, butHKis a beautiful looking game about a cat meandering through the busy streets of Hong Kong. Specifically, a place called Kowloon Walled City. Robots lean against the walls, deep in conversation. The glaring lights of shop signs clash against the night, and a cat moves eternally forward, using pipes as transport to reach its destination.HKis currently in development, so stay tuned for more updates later this year.

5. Rain World

Steam| PlayStation | Website

As you might have noticed, the protagonist in Rain Worldisactually a nomadic slugcat. And while its ghostly presentation is a little disturbing, the objective of the game is rather fascinating; you need to guide the slugcat safely through a ravaged ecosystem, hunting for scraps of food to stay alive. The world around you is bleak, unforgiving, and overflowing with frightening creatures that wont hesitate in making you their next meal.

6. Sonic Adventure

Steam

A bestselling launch title for SEGA Dreamcast, Sonic Adventurewas a much-loved platformer that put high-speed gameplay into the spotlight. It even got re-released for GameCube and PC. Sonic Adventurelets players control six different characters including Big the Cat, a feline whose reputation precedes him. InSonic Adventure, his story involved chasing after his friend Froggy and fishing him out of pondssomething fans didnt find particularly exciting. Last year, a trial forBigs Big Fishing Adventure 3released, a parody visual-novel about Big the Cats lost story.

7. Petz (Catz)

Catzis an animal simulation game for PC that belongs to thePetzseries. It let you adopt a cat, raise and care for it, and eventually, breed it with other cats. Another game calledPetz: Catz 2came out for PC, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii but unlike the original Catz, it offered a new adventure that tasked players with defeating an evil wolf intent on destroying the universe.

And finally,Cat Mario is an absolute impostor and cant be in this list because hes in a tanooki suit.

After the earthquake, UNICEF Haiti implemented two consecutive programs to help stabilize the country, focusing on emergency relief, recovery, and development. In 2014, UNICEF USA launched the Kid Power program, which links global initiatives that combat malnutrition with domestic work that centers on childrens health. For example, research has shown that only one-third of children in the United States are physically active each day, which can lead to a number of juvenile, and eventually adult, health problems. With the Kid Power program, participants buy Fitbit-like bands online or at Target that serve as a watch and a pedometer. (They can also download the Kid Power app for free and link it to the pedometer on their iOS or Android phone.) The more active users are throughout the day, the more points they rack up in the Kid Power app, unlocking funding from friends, parents, partners, and other donors. Some of the program's participants include students in traditionally underserved areas like like P.S. 5 Ellen Lurie School in Inwood, New York.

Russell Wilsons diet consists of lean proteins, fruits and vegetables. It is also entirely free of dairy and gluten.

Sheil KapadiaESPN Writer

RENTON, Wash. -- When asked about Russell Wilson's focus on improved eating habits this offseason, Philip Goglia said he views himself more as a food coach than as a nutritionist.

"He was an animal about it," Goglia said of Wilson. "The f---ing guy buried himself in this, and it's epic to see, because that really validates him as a complete athlete."

Search for Goglia's name, and you'll find links to his work with a bevy of celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Chris Pratt. An article on the Entertainment Tonight website labeled him the "nutritionist to the stars." But Goglia also has worked with plenty of athletes -- most notably NBA players Kevin Love, Carmelo Anthony and Rudy Gobert.

This past March, at the urging of his wife, Ciara, and former trainer Gunnar Peterson, Wilson found himself in Goglia's office in Santa Monica, California.

"He came in feeling as though he was too heavy and not mobile enough," Goglia said. "And he wanted to get his weight down. He was over 225. He felt as though he needed to be leaner and stronger and more agile. And that's my wheelhouse."

Pre-breakfast: Tablespoon of almond butter and a tablespoon of jam Breakfast: Two cups of cooked oatmeal, six whole eggs, fruit, chicken breast Snack 1: Fruit and 12 almonds Lunch: Eight ounces of protein with a yam or a cup of rice or a potato and a vegetable Second lunch: Eight ounces of protein with a yam or a cup of rice or a potato and a vegetable Snack 2: Fruit and 12 almonds Snack 3: Fruit, 12 almonds and whey protein Dinner: Fish or steak and vegetables or salad Snack 4: Fruit and a tablespoon of molasses or shredded wheat, applesauce, almond butter and jam

Injuries were the story of Wilson's 2016 season. He suffered a right high ankle sprain in Week 1 and an MCL sprain in his left knee in Week 3. Wilson never missed a game and earned praise from his teammates for playing through pain, but the injuries limited his mobility and essentially made him a non-factor in the run game.

Wilson rushed for a career-low 259 yards, and the Seattle Seahawks ranked 23rd in rushing efficiency. They'd never finished worse than seventh in Wilson's first four seasons. A side effect of Wilson's injuries was that he got heavier because of the limits on what he could do for conditioning.

"It was definitely tough," Wilson told ESPN.com. "I normally run a lot in practice and after practice, the off days and everything like that. And I couldn't really do much because of my ankle and my knee."

Standing in the hallway between the team's indoor practice facility and the locker room, Wilson breathed heavily in between sentences. He'd just put in extra conditioning work with the Seahawks' other quarterbacks following the team's final minicamp practice. It was precisely the type of work he couldn't participate in during last season when the main focus was to have him feeling his best on game day.

Wilson has paid attention to what he puts in his body since entering the league in 2012. He has had his own chef and has tried to eat healthy for years. But after 2016's injury-riddled campaign, he has re-examined many aspects of his usual routine in search of an edge. Wilson is hoping he has found one with a new meal plan that calls on him to eat nine times a day and cut out both dairy and gluten.

"Still doing it religiously," Wilson said. "Just trying to really focus on trying to eat really, really well and have great nutrition. I think it's critical. It allows you to wake up feeling good, feeling strong. It allows you to excel throughout the day and have tons of strength and energy. So I think it's really important for me. And I love food. I'm from the South, Virginia. So for me, I have to be really conscientious of what I eat. And also, my dad had diabetes. So I try to really pay attention to what I eat and try to do a really good job of that."

Goglia said when Wilson visited him in March, Wilson was consuming about 2,700 calories a day. Goglia bumped that number up to 4,800 when planning Wilson's meals. In other words, he wanted Wilson to eat more even as he was trying to cut weight.

"When you think metabolism, everybody will think fast or slow," Goglia said. "And it's not. Metabolism is ultimately hot or cold. The definition of a calorie is a heat-energy unit. So if calories are heat and metabolism is a function of heat, and if fat is a lipid and only converts to energy in a hot environment, it just makes sense that you have to eat a certain amount of calories to generate enough heat to burn fat. And that's counter-intuitive to every civilian out there.

"Every fat guy will say, 'Food makes you fat. I eat one can of tuna and an apple a day.' And that's why they're fat. Not enough caloric heat. Especially in athletes. Athletic temperatures are huge metabolically. They have a big metabolic load. The more muscle you have, the more food you need. That's the baseline concept."

So what has Wilson been eating?

The plan changes weekly, but typically, he starts with a tablespoon of almond butter and a tablespoon of jam before his first workout.

Next is a big breakfast that includes two cups of cooked oatmeal, six whole eggs, a fruit and a chicken breast.

Wilson's mid-morning snack is a fruit and 12 almonds, and then he has two separate lunches, each consisting of eight ounces of protein (two chicken breasts) with a yam or a cup of rice or a potato and a vegetable.

"One of the important things with Russell and the elite athletes is that none of the foods he consumes are inflammatory foods, which means no yeast, no mold, no dairy, no gluten," Goglia said. "Dairy's like eating moderately hard phlegm. It adversely affects oxygen. No dairy, no breads -- muffins, bagels -- nothing that is yeast, mold and gluten-bound. So starches are always one-ingredient guys like potatoes or rice or yams or oatmeal. If it's got more than one ingredient in it, he couldn't eat it."

In the late afternoon, it's another snack of a fruit and 12 almonds. Wilson later repeats that while adding in some whey protein.

At dinnertime, the main course is fish or steak and vegetables or a salad on the side.

"A fatty fish like salmon, sea bass, black cod, arctic char," Goglia said. "They actually increase your body's ability to promote deep REM sleep, reduce inflammation, release more growth hormone. So it's a very efficient protein to consume in the evening. And if not fatty fish, then steak. But a lean steak like a filet or flank or hanger steak. The high iron count in these red meats will also increase hematocrit and promote deep REM sleep."

The vegetables Wilson rotates in are beets, asparagus, kale and spinach.

And finally, there are two options before bed. If the next day is light to moderate training, it's a fruit and a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses, which Goglia said leads to a high energy level upon waking up.

If the following day involves more intense training, Goglia prescribes what he calls mash: shredded wheat, applesauce, almond butter and jam.

"You crunch all this s--- up in a bowl, eat it and go to bed," Goglia said.

Wilson said his chef makes the healthy foods taste good. Some of his meals are consumed at home, and others are prepared at the team facility with help from the Seahawks' nutritionist. During the spring, Wilson would bring food with him to the facility to make sure he stayed on track.

When Wilson first met with Goglia in March, he weighed over 225 pounds with 16 percent body fat. Recently, he measured in at 214 with 10 percent body fat. He said he's committed to staying with the program because he's seeing results, but the changes have not been easy.

"I love cheese -- hence Wisconsin," Wilson, a Badgers alum, said with a laugh. "I love cheese, so that's always something that you've got to be careful of."

Goglia allows Wilson to scratch that itch for one meal per week.

"Date night," Wilson said. "Ciara and I get to eat pretty good."

The meal structures are evaluated and adjusted every seven days, depending on how Wilson is feeling and his training schedule. But Wilson said he feels better than he ever has before and wants to play next season at 215 pounds or less.

"He really has a Ferrari-like structure metabolically," Goglia said. "But his metabolism is one that is so efficient, it'll bite him in the ass, too, if you're not on point with his particular lipid structure. If you're under calories, it'll crash and burn quick. But on foods, following the right pattern of balanced macronutrients -- like literally, a third, a third, a third for fats, proteins and carbs -- he'll change quickly, too. And that's exactly what he experienced."

MILLVILLE Jeffrey Rastrelli always felt a little bit "off."

No matter how hard he trained, no matter the number of hours he put in working on his bike, no matter how many times he told himself to focus, something didn't feel right.

A year ago, in the middle of his fourth full season as an AMA Pro ATV Motocross racer, he felt weak and was often vomiting on the track during practice sessions and races. So the 26-year-old from Palm City, Fla., sought some help.

"I didn't know what was going on, why I wasn't performing," Rastrelli said. "I saw a doctor who said I'd had some health issues for years. He helped me get on a certain diet and training program and it's changed my whole life."

Rastrelli has found a comfort level and success on the track this season more than ever before. He sits third in the Pro Class standings as the AMA ATV Motocross series makes its annual stop at Spring Creek MX Park this weekend.

The pro races are scheduled for Saturday afternoon, with motos set to begin at 2 p.m. and 4. An autograph session with the pro riders will be held following the second moto.

It was exactly a year ago that Rastrelli was diagnosed with low-to-no stomach acid. He said the races at Spring Creek last year were the first time in a long time he had felt close to 100 percent.

"It wasn't that I was eating bad, but the things I was eating were bad for me ... bread and certain other things," he said. "I wasn't getting any nutrients out of the food I was eating. Now I'm all healed up.

"The doctor really changed my whole career. I was always fast, but could never last through a 20-plus minute moto."

Pro motos last 18 minutes, plus two laps. Rastrelli's new-found health has allowed him to form an exercise routine that has done him a world of good on the track, in terms of both strength and endurance, two necessities for ATV racers.

"Mentally, too, it's been a huge help," he said. "I was always in a fog, always a little off. The whole diet and everything about it ... I stay to it very strictly. It's working; I've been on the podium (top-three finish) now four rounds in a row."

Rastrelli needs that strength and stamina to attempt to chase down the two riders in front of him in the standings -- second-place rider Joel Hetrick and points leader and five-time defending national champion Chad Wienen.

Wienen enters this weekend's races with 255 points; Hetrick is seven points back of him. Rastrelli has 202 points, and is likely out of title contention with just four rounds left in the championship series, but he said this season has been a great learning and growing experience.

"All-around, I have more stamina and energy," he said. "I feel like I can go all day now. Before, I'd wake up and wouldn't want to do anything. Now, I can wake up and go all day. Before, it was a drag. I had no energy.

"On the track it's unbelievable. I can't even compare where I am now to where I was then."

Rastrelli has his sights set not only on another podium finish at Spring Creek, but he wants to earn his first moto win and first overall victory (the best average finish after two motos on a race day) of his pro career.

He said a wreck in the first round of the championship this year has proven costly. He finished 17th in that moto, but has been a thorn in the leaders' sides ever since.

"I won't be able to catch those guys in the points," he said, "but my goal by the end of the year is to win one. I've (finished) second. I've finished third. But I've never won one.

Friday: Hetrick trying to track down Wienen

Raw is all the rage Courtesy Fiona TappThe raw food diet is the hot new trend in wellness and health circles. If you're curious about this approach, you can try eating raw for a day with these recipes. The movement has grown steadily as an extension of veganism. Raw food advocates believe that processing and cooking food reduces its nutritional benefits; followers find they eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and claim that this approach has physical and mental benefits. Melanie A. Albert is an intuitive cooking expert, author, and speaker, who is passionate about good, wholesome, and healthy foods. She has been a leader in wellness, integrative medicine, and nutrition for over 15 years, and her sprightly energetic vibe is a walking advertisement for the foods she promotes. I met her in the Arizona desert for an intuitive cooking class where she showed me how to make fresh, delicious foods from locally grown ingredients. By local, I mean they were grown steps from where we cooked! Albert talked about how she has become more interested in alternatives to cooking lately and has actually just taken a course on becoming a professional raw gourmet. She explained how the natural properties of food in its original grown state can be very appetizing, especially on warm summer days. "Raw food makes sense in our diets especially when the weather is hot and our bodies naturally crave cool foods. When you think about it, foods that cool naturally grow when the weather is warm. In the hot summer, it's all about melons, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, which are all full of water and very hydrating." As I prepared Albert's recipe of dinosaur kale, fresh veggies, and nuts in the heat of the Arizona sun at The Farm at South Mountain, just 15 minutes from downtown Phoenix, I had to agree this type of cuisine certainly suits the warmer weather! If you are intrigued by this trend read on to see what you need to know...

9 Things to Know If You're Thinking About Starting a Raw Food Diet This Summer - Reader's Digest

A trial run for a Second Street road diet seems all but dead.

The plan to slim down the roadway from 4J Road to Highway 59 needed a test run before the city of Gillette and Wyoming Department of Transportation could decide to make the change permanent.

It was estimated that the trial run would cost anywhere from $30,000 to $40,000.

WYDOT twice unsuccessfully attempted to secure funding through a grant for the test run. One funding source, the Highway Safety Improvement Program, would be able to provide permanent striping and signal improvements, but not for a test trial.

The idea for the road diet, or narrowing the roadway from four lanes to three, was first introduced to the Gillette City Council in late May.

The reason for changing highways through a city usually is to increase safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers, as well as convenience for drivers sharing the roadway, city staff said.

City numbers show that in 2015, the number of daily travelers on Second Street east of Gillette Avenue averaged 13,500, 14,000 east of Brooks Avenue and 12,600 for east of 4J Road.

In the last five years, there were 211 reported crashes on that strip of Second Street, an average of 42 a year. According to an analysis done by the planning and engineering firm DOWL, the road diet could potentially reduce crashes in the area by 18 to 22 per year.

Several downtown business owners were in favor of the change, including employees and owners of the Railyard, First National Bank and Teachers Corner/Kids Mart.

Because the funding for the test run would be the city of Gillettes full responsibility, Development Services Director Dustin Hamilton is suggesting the city abandon the idea for now.

There are infrastructure priorities on city-owned facilities that are of higher importance to be funded with city dollars, Hamilton says in a letter to the council.
