![]() On May 26, Hayes left Grand Junction, Colorado according to phone and cell phone records cited in an affidavit. Griswold claimed the passwords came from either Woods, Brown or Peters. Griswold later believed that, on May 25 and May 26, 2021, the videos, confidential passwords, and images that Ron Watkins/codemonkeyz posted on Telegram, and The Gateway Pundit had also published, came from the Mesa County voting system. On May 24, 2021, Peters stated that she, Bishop, Hayes, a county commissioner candidate, and Congresswoman Boebert had dinner together. Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland stated that Peters had never before turned off the cameras after any of the eight previous elections that Peters had overseen since 2018, indicating unusual behavior and indicative of an intent to breach. Peters later claimed no law or election rule required security cameras that monitor election equipment to operate continuously at minimum, they must be on 60 days before an election and 30 days afterwards. Just before the update and breach, Deputy Clerk and Recorder Belinda Knisley also requested that the office's security cameras were turned off. Griswold claimed Peters had misled her staff by saying "Wood" had been background-checked and that he was an employee. On May 23, 2021, Peters allegedly allowed an unauthorized person, "Gerald Wood" (who later was discovered to be Conan Hayes using Wood's pilfered access badge) to attend a software update for the county’s Dominion Voting Systems election equipment. Sherronna Bishop, then-campaign manager for United States Representative Lauren Boebert, paid for his hotel room. On May 22, 2021, Conan Hayes - RVCA co-founder, who would later impersonate an IT staffer Gerald Wood - traveled to Grand Junction according to phone and cell phone records. Secretary of State Griswold's investigators found that Peters had ordered her staff to turn off the video surveillance meant to monitor the voting machines a week before the breach. The email request mentioned that the office would turn the cameras back on August 1, 2021. On May 17, 2021, Peters allegedly shut the office cameras off according to an email request sent from Mesa County Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley that the Secretary of State's Office later cited in its lawsuit. Īfter the election, Peters permitted access to voting machines to an outsider. On November 19, 2020, Peters signed off on the results of a risk-limiting audit in Mesa County, CO stating that there were no issues or discrepancies with the results. The recall effort failed to gather the minimum required number of 12,129 signatures by about 1,200 signatures for the issue to appear on the ballot in the Novemgeneral election. This incident and other issues led to a voter recall attempt for Peters from April to August of 2020. Given the margin of victory in all elections, this late finding did not change the outcome of any races. Workers had failed to empty the ballot box and the ballots remained there for months before being discovered, which Peters attributed to "human error". In February 2020, employees in Peters' office admitted to discovering 574 uncounted ballots cast for the November 2019 election in a parking lot ballot box in front of the Mesa County election headquarters in Grand Junction, Colorado. She campaigned with a platform that called for improvement in service from Colorado state's Division of Motor Vehicles' offices. Her position as county clerk with Mesa County was her first elected office held, when she was elected in 2018. to face criminal charges related to stolen election conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 United States presidential election. She was "one of at least twenty-two election deniers vying to take charge of elections in eighteen states." She was the first elections official in the U.S. presidential election, and with respect to an instance in which subsequent access to Mesa County voting machines was given. She was covered in regional, national, and international news since 2020 relating to her views on the conspiracy theory of election fraud in the 2020 U.S. Tina Peters (born 1955/1956) is a former County Clerk of Mesa County, Colorado. ![]()

Despite their sluggish start, Indianapolis had complete control of the game by the end of the first half, leading 14-0. Miami responded with a drive to the Colts 20-yard line, only to have Olindo Mare miss a 38-yard field goal attempt with 31 seconds left in the half. He followed it up with a successful two-point conversion pass to tight end Ken Dilger. This time, the Colts made it into the end zone with Manning's 17-yard touchdown pass to Pathon with 7:47 left in the second quarter. On Miami's ensuing drive, they committed their third consecutive turnover when Cota picked off another pass and returned it 23 yards to the Dolphins 18-yard line. But Indianapolis failed to reach the end zone and had to settle for another field goal from Vanderjagt. After that, Colts defensive end Chad Bratzke gave his team another great scoring opportunity when he intercepted Fiedler's screen pass at the Dolphins 25-yard line. On the next play, running back Edgerrin James broke off a 34-yard run, but the drive stalled and the Colts had to punt. Miami threatened to score late in the first quarter, but quarterback Jay Fiedler's pass in the end zone was intercepted by Indianapolis safety Chad Cota. He also caught 3 passes for 18 yards.Īfter the Dolphins threw an incomplete pass on 4th and 6 from the Colts 39-yard line, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning's 25-yard completion to tight end Jerome Pathon set up the first score of the game on a 32-yard field goal by kicker Mike Vanderjagt. The Dolphins overcame three first half turnovers as running back Lamar Smith set a playoff record with 40 carries for 209 yards, including the game-winning 17-yard touchdown run in overtime. MIA – Weaver 9 pass from Fiedler (Mare kick) Tie 17–17.IND – field goal Vanderjagt 50 IND 17–10.IND – Pathon 17 pass from Manning (Dilger pass from Manning) IND 14–0.Wild Card playoffs Saturday, Decem AFC: Miami Dolphins 23, Indianapolis Colts 17 (OT) ![]() CBS broadcast the rest of the AFC playoff games and Super Bowl XXXV (their first Super Bowl broadcast since Super Bowl XXVI at the end of the 1991–92 playoffs). Fox then televised the rest of the NFC games. In the United States, ABC broadcast the first two Wild Card playoff games. The following season, the NFL scheduled prime time playoff games for the first two rounds in an attempt to attract more television viewers. This would be the last time that all playoff games during the first three rounds would normally be played at the accustomed times of 12:30 p.m. Although the Super Bowl, the championship round of the playoffs, was played at a neutral site, the designated home team was based on an annual rotation by conference. The two winning teams from each conference's divisional playoff games then meet in the respective AFC and NFC Conference Championship games, hosted by the higher seed. ![]() In the second round, the divisional playoffs, the number 1 seed hosted the worst-remaining seed from the first round (seed 4, 5, or 6), while the number 2 seed played the other team (seed 3, 4, or 5). The 1 and 2 seeds from each conference received a first-round bye. In the first round, dubbed the wild-card playoffs or wild-card weekend, the third-seeded division winner hosted the sixth seed wild card, and the fourth seed hosted the fifth. The NFL did not use a fixed bracket playoff system, and there were no restrictions regarding teams from the same division matching up in any round. The three division winners were seeded 1–3 based on the overall won-lost-tied record, and the three wild card teams were seeded 4–6. Within each conference, the three division winners and the three non-division winners with the best overall regular season records qualified for the playoffs. The following year, the league pushed the start of the season forward one week (to the weekend after Labor Day), which effectively pushed the start of playoffs one week later (into January). This would be the final season where the playoffs began in December. The postseason tournament concluded with the Baltimore Ravens defeating the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV, 34–7, on January 28, 2001, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The National Football League playoffs for the 2000 season began on December 30, 2000. ![]() ![]() Anchorfree believes in placing consumers in control of their personal information online.

Price: $2,625 (basic accessory package)Īll Ravin crossbows use the same HeliCoil cam system, which allows the cams to rotate 340 degrees for crushing power in a compact package.We don’t condone 100-yard shots at game with a crossbow, but the Ravin R29X is capable of it under the right circumstances. The Ravin R29X is a high-end “flagship” level crossbow designed for serious hunters who don’t mind paying for performance, and especially for hunters looking to extend their effective range. The Ravin R29X in our test had an average trigger pull of 2.03 pounds. The crossbow itself is the same for both packages. The Sniper package, which costs more, includes an upgraded scope, along with a jack plate adjustable elevation mount (for extreme-range shooting), scope level, six premium bolts, and quiver. The standard package includes a scope with six bolts and a quiver. It’s still available from Ravin with a couple accessory package options. The Ravin R29X was the winner of our 2020 crossbow test, and going by the numbers, it’s to-date the best crossbow we’ve ever tested. The Ravin design is so good-and so unique in a number of ways-that only a few models from other brands have ever posed any serious competition to them. Since their debut with the R15 in 2017, a Ravin crossbow has won our annual crossbow test every year except for one, when they narrowly finished runner up. The first Ravin crossbows launched with an ad campaign promising rifle-like accuracy at 100 yards, and they could back it up.

They are also the type of myths that inspired the Japanese Kitsune nine-tailed foxes and the Korean Kumiho spirits. Those myths of malevolent Huli Jing tend to be more popular today. Even when the fox worship was outlawed during the Song dynasty, the cult of the Huli Jing still persisted.Īt the same time, many other myths portray those same magical foxes as evil beings who prey on people’s lives. These “fox demons” would only turn against people when they were mistreated. In myths from that age, the Huli Jing were mostly benevolent natural spirits that helped people whenever they were treated well. There was even a saying at the time that Where there is no fox demon, no village can be established. People made offerings of food and drinks to fox shrines built in their own homes, asking for favors. For example, during the Tang dynasty – often viewed as the Golden Age of Chinese arts and culture, fox spirit worship was quite common. Or, more accurately – depending on which period of Chinese history you’re looking at. Instead, it’s only those nine-tailed foxes that self-cultivate and draw their power from nature that will ascend to the heavens.Įssentially, we are the Huli Jing’s junk food – delicious yet unhealthy. So, Huli Jing that prey on people will likely never become part of the celestial realm. The trick is that this energy needs to come from nature and not from human beings. Most importantly, by consuming enough life essence, a Huli Jing can one day transcend into a heavenly being. These nine-tailed foxes are also said to possess great intelligence and to know a lot of things about the natural and celestial realms. They can be killed, however, be it with standard human weapons or by dogs – their biggest enemies. Huli Jing are also technically immortal, meaning that they can’t die from old age. Granted, that “bidding” is usually to copulate with the Huli Jing so she can steal your life force. According to some myths, the Huli Jing needs to put a human skull on its fox head before it can transform into a human but not all myths include this ritual.Īnother power these fox spirits have is to charm people to do their bidding. At 50 years of age, a Huli Jing can transform into a man or an older woman and at age 100 – into a beautiful young woman. What’s also curious is that the Huli Jing needs to age a little before it can learn to shapeshift into a human. Yet, there are myths of Huli Jing also transforming into older women or men too. This just seems to be the form that best suits their goals of acquiring life essence. These magical fox spirits can transform into anything they want, however, they most commonly transform into beautiful, young women. The aforementioned shapeshifting is the Huli Jing’s bread and butter. In that way, the Huli Jing are not dissimilar to Europe’s fairy folk – when treated well, they are often benevolent, but when they are mistreated they can turn violent. There are multiple legends in Chinese mythology that show Huli Jing helping people or themselves being the victims of humanity’s cruelty. A Huli Jing can have various motivations to do something like that but the main one is rather malevolent – to drain the victim’s life essence, usually in the middle of a sexual act.Īt the same time, the Huli Jing can be perfectly nice and amicable. ![]() They are most famous for their shapeshifting prowess, however, as well as their habit of seducing young men while transformed as beautiful maidens. Usually portrayed as beautiful foxes with nine fluffy tails, the Huli Jing are magical creatures with a vast array of abilities. Like many other Chinese mythological creatures and like the fairies in European mythologies, the Huli Jing have a rather mixed relationship with the world of men. ![]() Huli Jing literally translates as fox spirit. ![]() ![]() ![]() The PokerGO brand is also on board, with confirmed cheats facing a ban from the PokerGO Tour, the Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB), and the Poker Masters.
