The CJD 500 is a video game console that appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It can be found in the Johnson House (where it can be used to play They Crawled from Uranus) and in some of the other houses during the Burglar side missions.
It look similar to the Sega Saturn, though the Saturn was released in 1995 in North America, three years after the events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It also has indents on the sides, similar to the Xbox, or possibly the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The name is a play on CJD, a disease that is usually associated with mad cow disease. The buttons of the CJD feature the letters C, J, M and D (possibly referring to Carl Johnson and Madd Dogg) in different colors, much like the buttons of the Playstation consoles, since GTA San Andreas was released as a Playstation 2 exclusive for some time.

It's not TV, but it's something.
Five days from the first bell of the Jan. 30 event, "Strikeforce: Miami," the promotion has taken extra steps to ensure a welterweight clash between Jay Hieron (18-4 MMA, 1-0 SF) and Joe Riggs (32-10 MMA, 3-2 SF) can be widely seen.
EA Sports, the software developer of video game "EA Sports MMA" and a strategic partner of the San Jose, Calif.–based Strikeforce promotion, announced today via Twitter that it will stream the preliminary card fight live on EASportsMMA.com. The stream begins at 9 p.m. ET and will be the sole undercard fight broadcast on the web.
Showtime's live broadcast of "Strikeforce: Miami" begins one hour later at 10 p.m. ET.
"It was a discussion that came up between Strikeforce, Showtime and EA Sports during planning meetings," Randy Chase, Product Marketing Manager for EA Sports, said in a Monday email to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "All parties had seen the MMA community interest in the fight and wanted to give the fans what they wanted to see. We are committed to growing the sport and supporting the fighters in our game, so we were happy to play a part in bringing this fight to the fans.
"We also really wanted to see the fight ourselves."
Many fans scoffed when the Hieron vs. Riggs was bumped from the main card, presumably to make room for Herschel Walker vs. Greg Nagy and Bobby Lashley vs. Wes Sims.
Walker, of course, is a Heisman Trophy winning former NFL running back, and Lashley is a former WWE and current TNA wrestling star.
Hieron had been slated to take on Nick Diaz for the vacant Strikeforce welterweight title on the main card of "Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg" this past August. But after Diaz was scratched from the card due to a missed drug test, the former IFL welterweight champion went back on the shelf.
Diaz took a fight Hieron turned down for the Jan. 30 event and will face DREAM welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis for Strikeforce's vacant 170-pound belt.
Riggs, meanwhile, requested a spot on each successive Strikeforce card starting with "Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg" before getting the green light to face Hieron.
The two have in the past trained together at UFC veteran Jeremy Horn's gym in Salt Lake City and are friendly outside the cage.
That is, until Jan. 30 arrives.
Strikeforce has experimented with streaming fights in the past, partnering with ProElite.com and Yahoo! Sports to broadcast preliminary fights on the web.
Most recently, the promotion enlisted broadcast partner Showtime for "Strikeforce: All Access," an interactive webcast that allows fans to watch fights from a variety of viewpoints.
Chase said there were no plans beyond Saturday's webcast, though he didn't rule out future collaborations on Strikeforce preliminary card fights.
"We are always looking for new ways to engage our community and try new things," Chase said.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the American Music Awards, which has spawned some truly memorable fashion moments over the years. Here, a look back at a few of my favorites.
Michael Jackson was feeling "Dangerous" in 1993 and his AMAs performance – complete with male backup dancers wearing matching black suits, skinny ties, and fedoras – made him look like the leader of an army of well-dressed mobsters.
In 2007, Fergie took to the stage in a barely there sequined Jenny Packham sheath and sky-high red stilettos, giving Tina Turner a run for her money in the legs-up-to-there department, while her Black Eyed Peas bandmate will.i.am looked every inch the gentleman in his top hat and velvet smoking jacket. That same year, Avril Lavigne transitioned from teen punk rocker to grown-up divorcée in a black T-shirt and silver skirt.
A year later, Beyoncé channeled her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, and tore up "Single Ladies" wearing a plunging black and white Armani Privé satin jacket with matching black booty shorts beside backup dancer (and current Glee star) Heather Morris in a coordinating one-armed bodysuit.
Jennifer Lopez went for the gold – literally – during her boxing-inspired 2009 AMAs performance of "Louboutins," with a 24K microphone and glittering gold, leather, and lace romper that almost made us forget she fell on her butt mid-song, while Rihanna opted for a skin-baring white bandage jumpsuit. Thankfully, there were no wardrobe malfunctions during her performance, despite having only a thin strip of leather covering her lady bits.
Not one to be outdone, Lady Gaga also went the jumpsuit route in 2009 but in her case, it was flesh-toned, covered by a plastic exoskeleton that extended from her ankles to her rib cage, completely obscuring the upper half of her face and lighting up when she moved.
And in 2010 Katy Perry set off "Fireworks" in a sparkly crimson Marco Marco jumpsuit that did her figure all kinds of favors.
With Nicki Minaj and Rihanna leading the 2012 AMAs with four nominations each, and Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Adele, and Taylor Swift also in the running, we know this year's AMAs is sure to have more than a few looks to remember.
The 2012 American Music Awards will be broadcast live on Sunday, November 18, at 8PM ET on ABC.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius walked out of a South African court Friday a free man — for now — after a magistrate agreed to release him on bail ahead of his premeditated murder trial over the shooting death of his girlfriend.
Even as he was driven away from court and chased by videographers and photographers, questions continued to hound the Paralympian about what happened when he opened fire on Valentine's Day inside his home and killed Reeva Steenkamp.
Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair set the bail at 1 million rand ($113,000), with $11,300 in cash up front and proof that the rest is available. The magistrate said Pistorius must hand over his passports and also turn in any other guns that he owns. Pistorius also cannot leave the district of Pretoria without the permission of his probation officer, nor can he take drugs or drink alcohol.
Pistorius' family members hugged each other after the decision was read, with tears in their eyes. Sharon Steenkamp, Reeva's cousin, had said earlier that the family wouldn't be watching the bail decision.
Nair set Pistorius' next court appearance for June 4.

321 Water
321 claims that filling this bottle with tap water and plunging the filter in the style of a French press cafetière will lower chlorine levels and remove impurities. Our tester noted that his sample filtered out suspended particles, but its impact on chlorine levels and taste was minimal and there was no effect on pH or hardness. New filters are required per 100 fills (at a cost of A$27.65 (£18) for three, including shipping), but it still works out at a lower cost and environmental impact than the bottled water it is intended to replace.

Brandon's Jodie Baker had quite a night Saturday.
Not only did the first-year middle with the Brandon Bobcats women's volleyball team start for the first time with her new squad, she was also recognized by the Brandon Sport Alliance as its local athlete of the year. Baker admitted she had a lot of nerves going into the game, but settled down and made four blocks and one kill — set up by her sister Kellie — as the Bobcats beat the Calgary Dinos 3-0 (25-17, 25-22, 25-21) in Canada West action at BU's Healthy Living Centre.

text: When we think of the Meadow Brook Concours D'Elegance, motorcycles don't normally come to the front of the mind — it's all about old and exotic automobiles. This year Meadow Brook featured a selection of classic motorbikes featuring sidecars. Great fun was had trying to figure out the mechanism details: Every motorcycle seemed to have a different solution to the same problem, and we had a good ole time trying to figure out what all the widgets did. It's safe to say these side car motorcycles are a fair bit more civilized than the Cat III.


text: Interesting. Although it really doesn't do much that is outside of the reach of an interactive pdf, and the resulting books are restricted to the iEcosystem. Meaning, of course, that I can't use them on my Android tablet. On the other hand, I have yet to see a full-featured pdf publisher that is easy to use, not to mention free.

Just wanted to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone who came along to our '20 years at the Cavendish' night. We certainly had a great time with the buffet and entertainment from Bruce and it was great to see so many friends, family, past and present employees, suppliers, guests and regulars all together. And as for the fireworks, weren't they brilliant?
The highlight of the evening however was the auction and raffle to raise money for Children's Hospice South West and we're delighted that Rosa Marshall of CHSW came in today to pick up the £950 you helped us to raise:
We will post a full list of everyone who donated lots for the auction and raffle as soon as we can. In the meantime, thanks once again and here's to the next 20 years!

Official Rules: 4.00 Starting and Ending a Game
Unless the home club shall have given previous notice that the game has been postponed or will be delayed in starting, the umpire, or umpires, shall enter the playing field five minutes before the hour set for the game to begin and proceed directly to home base where they shall be met by the managers of the opposing teams. In sequence --
(a) First, the home manager shall give his batting order to the umpire-in-chief, in duplicate.
(b) Next, the visiting manager shall give his batting order to the umpire-in-chief, in duplicate.
(c) The umpire-in-chief shall make certain that the original and copies of the respective batting orders are identical, and then tender a copy of each batting order to the opposing manager. The copy retained by the umpire shall be the official batting order. The tender of the batting order by the umpire shall establish the batting orders. Thereafter, no substitutions shall be made by either manager, except as provided in the rules.
(d) As soon as the home teams batting order is handed to the umpire-in-chief the umpires are in charge of the playing field and from that moment they shall have sole authority to determine when a game shall be called, suspended or resumed on account of weather or the condition of the playing field.
Rule 4.01 Comment: Obvious errors in the batting order, which are noticed by the umpire-in-chief before he calls Play for the start of the game, should be called to the attention of the manager or captain of the team in error, so the correction can be made before the game starts. For example, if a manager has inadvertently listed only eight men in the batting order, or has listed two players with the same last name but without an identifying initial and the errors are noticed by the umpire before he calls play, he shall cause such error or errors to be corrected before he calls play to start the game. Teams should not be trapped later by some mistake that obviously was inadvertent and which can be corrected before the game starts.
The players of the home team shall take their defensive positions, the first batter of the visiting team shall take his position in the batters box, the umpire shall call Play and the game shall start.
When the ball is put in play at the start of, or during a game, all fielders other than the catcher shall be on fair territory.
(a) The catcher shall station himself directly back of the plate. He may leave his position at any time to catch a pitch or make a play except that when the batter is being given an intentional base on balls, the catcher must stand with both feet within the lines of the catchers box until the ball leaves the pitchers hand.
PENALTY: Balk.
(b) The pitcher, while in the act of delivering the ball to the batter, shall take his legal position;
(c) Except the pitcher and the catcher, any fielder may station himself anywhere in fair territory;
(d) Except the batter, or a runner attempting to score, no offensive player shall cross the catchers lines when the ball is in play.
The batting order shall be followed throughout the game unless a player is substituted for another. In that case the substitute shall take the place of the replaced player in the batting order.
(a) The offensive team shall station two base coaches on the field during its term at bat, one near first base and one near third base.
(b) Base coaches shall be limited to two in number and shall (1) be in team uniform, and (2) remain within the coachs box at all times.
PENALTY: The offending base coach shall be removed from the game, and shall leave the playing field.
Rule 4.05 Comment: It has been common practice for many years for some coaches to put one foot outside the coachs box or stand astride or otherwise be slightly outside the coaching box lines. The coach shall not be considered out of the box unless the opposing manager complains, and then, the umpire shall strictly enforce the rule and require all coaches (on both teams) to remain in the coachs box at all times.
It is also common practice for a coach who has a play at his base to leave the coachs box to signal the player to slide, advance or return to a base. This may be allowed if the coach does not interfere with the play in any manner.
(a) No manager, player, substitute, coach, trainer or batboy shall at any time, whether from the bench, the coachs box or on the playing field, or elsewhere --
(1) Incite, or try to incite, by word or sign a demonstration by spectators;
(2) Use language which will in any manner refer to or reflect upon opposing players, an umpire, or any spectator;
(3) Call Time, or employ any other word or phrase or commit any act while the ball is alive and in play for the obvious purpose of trying to make the pitcher commit a balk.
(4) Make intentional contact with the umpire in any manner.
(b) No fielder shall take a position in the batters line of vision, and with deliberate unsportsmanlike intent, act in a manner to distract the batter.
PENALTY: The offender shall be removed from the game and shall leave the playing field, and, if a balk is made, it shall be nullified.
When a manager, player, coach or trainer is ejected from a game, he shall leave the field immediately and take no further part in that game. He shall remain in the club house or change to street clothes and either leave the park or take a seat in the grandstand well removed from the vicinity of his teams bench or bullpen.
Rule 4.07 Comment: If a manager, coach or player is under suspension he may not be in the dugout or press box during the course of a game.
When the occupants of a players bench show violent disapproval of an umpires decision, the umpire shall first give warning that such disapproval shall cease. If such action continues --
PENALTY: The umpire shall order the offenders from the bench to the club house. If he is unable to detect the offender, or offenders, he may clear the bench of all substitute players. The manager of the offending team shall have the privilege of recalling to the playing field only those players needed for substitution in the game.
(a) One run shall be scored each time a runner legally advances to and touches first, second, third and home base before three men are put out to end the inning. EXCEPTION: A run is not scored if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the third out is made (1) by the batter-runner before he touches first base; (2) by any runner being forced out; or (3) by a preceding runner who is declared out because he failed to touch one of the bases.
(b) When the winning run is scored in the last half-inning of a regulation game, or in the last half of an extra inning, as the result of a base on balls, hit batter or any other play with the bases full which forces the runner on third to advance, the umpire shall not declare the game ended until the runner forced to advance from third has touched home base and the batter-runner has touched first base.
Rule 4.09(b) Comment: An exception will be if fans rush onto the field and physically prevent the runner from touching home plate or the batter from touching first base. In such cases, the umpires shall award the runner the base because of the obstruction by the fans.
PENALTY: If the runner on third refuses to advance to and touch home base in a reasonable time, the umpire shall disallow the run, call out the offending player and order the game resumed. If, with two out, the batter-runner refuses to advance to and touch first base, the umpire shall disallow the run, call out the offending player, and order the game resumed. If, before two are out, the batter-runner refuses to advance to and touch first base, the run shall count, but the offending player shall be called out.
Rule 4.09 Comment: Approved Ruling: No run shall score during a play in which the third out is made by the batter-runner before he touches first base.
Example: One out, Jones on second, Smith on first. The batter, Brown, hits safely. Jones scores. Smith is out on the throw to the plate. Two outs. But Brown missed first base. The ball is thrown to first, an appeal is made, and Brown is out. Three outs. Since Jones crossed the plate during a play in which the third out was made by the batter-runner before he touched first base, Jones run does not count.
Approved Ruling: Following runners are not affected by an act of a preceding runner unless two are out.
Example: One out, Jones on second, Smith on first, and batter, Brown, hits home run inside the park. Jones fails to touch third on his way to the plate. Smith and Brown score. The defense holds the ball on third, appeals to umpire, and Jones is out. Smiths and Browns runs count.
Approved Ruling: Two out, Jones on second, Smith on first and batter, Brown, hits home run inside the park. All three runs cross the plate. But Jones missed third base, and on appeal is declared out. Three outs. Smiths and Browns runs are voided. No score on the play.
Approved Ruling: One out, Jones on third, Smith on second. Batter Brown flies out to center. Two out. Jones scores after catch and Smith scores on bad throw to plate. But Jones, on appeal, is adjudged to have left third before the catch and is out. Three outs. No runs.
Approved Ruling: Two out, bases full, batter hits home run over fence. Batter, on appeal, is declared out for missing first base. Three outs. No run counts.
Here is a general statement that covers:
When a runner misses a base and a fielder holds the ball on a missed base, or on the base originally occupied by the runner if a fly ball is caught, and appeals for the umpires decision, the runner is out when the umpire sustains the appeal; all runners may score if possible, except that with two out the runner is out at the moment he misses the bag, if an appeal is sustained as applied to the following runners.
Approved Ruling: One out, Jones on third, Smith on first, and Brown flies out to right field. Two outs. Jones tags up and scores after the catch. Smith attempted to return to first but the right fielders throw beat him to the base. three outs. But Jones scored before the throw to catch Smith reached first base, hence Jones run counts. It was not a force play.
(a) A regulation game consists of nine innings, unless extended because of a tie score, or shortened (1) because the home team needs none of its half of the ninth inning or only a fraction of it, or (2) because the umpire calls the game. EXCEPTION: National Association leagues may adopt a rule providing that one or both games of a doubleheader shall be seven innings in length. In such games, any of these rules applying to the ninth inning shall apply to the seventh inning.
(b) If the score is tied after nine completed innings play shall continue until (1) the visiting team has scored more total runs than the home team at the end of a completed inning, or (2) the home team scores the winning run in an uncompleted inning.
(c) If a game is called, it is a regulation game:
(1) If five innings have been completed;
(2) If the home team has scored more runs in four or four and a fraction half-innings than the visiting team has scored in five completed half-innings;
(3) If the home team scores one or more runs in its half of the fifth inning to tie the score.
(d) If a regulation game is called with the score tied, it shall become a suspended game. See Rule 4.12.
(e) If a game is called before it has become a regulation game, the umpire shall declare it No Game.
(f) Rain checks will not be honored for any regulation or suspended game which has progressed to or beyond a point of play described in 4.10(c)
The score of a regulation game is the total number of runs scored by each team at the moment the game ends.
(a) The game ends when the visiting team completes its half of the ninth inning if the home team is ahead.
(b) The game ends when the ninth inning is completed, if the visiting team is ahead.
(c) If the home team scores the winning run in its half of the ninth inning (or its half of an extra inning after a tie), the game ends immediately when the winning run is scored. EXCEPTION: If the last batter in a game hits a home run out of the playing field, the batter-runner and all runners on base are permitted to score, in accordance with the base-running rules, and the game ends when the batter-runner touches home plate.
APPROVED RULING: The batter hits a home run out of the playing field to win the game in the last half of the ninth or an extra inning, but is called out for passing a preceding runner. The game ends immediately when the winning run is scored.
(d) A called game ends at the moment the umpire terminates play, unless it becomes a suspended game pursuant to Rule 4.12(a).

(6) It is a regulation game that is called with the score tied. National Association Leagues may also adopt the following rules for suspended games. (If adopted by a National Association League, Rule 4.10(e) would not apply to their games.):
(7) The game has not become a regulation game (41/2 innings with the home team ahead, or 5 innings with the visiting club ahead or tied).
(8) If a game is suspended before it becomes a regulation game, and is continued prior to another regularly scheduled game, the regularly scheduled game with be limited to seven innings.
(9) If a game is suspended after it is a regulation game, and is continued prior to another regularly scheduled game, the regularly scheduled game will be a nine inning game.
EXCEPTION: Optional Rules 4.12(a)(7), 4.12(a)(8) and 4.12(a)(9) for National Association Leagues will not apply to the last scheduled game between the two teams during the championship season or league playoffs.
No game called because of a curfew (Rule 4.12(a)(1)), weather (Rule 4.12(a)(5)), a time limit (Rule 4.12(a)(2)) or with a tied score (Rule 4.12(a)(6)) shall be a suspended game unless it has progressed far enough to have been a regulation game pursuant to Rule 4.10(c).

(3) If suspended on the last scheduled date between the two clubs in that city, transferred and played on the grounds of the opposing club, if possible;
(i) Immediately preceding the next scheduled single game, or
(ii) Immediately preceding the next scheduled doubleheader, if no single game remains on the schedule.
(4) Any suspended game not completed prior to the last scheduled game between the two teams during the championship season shall become a called game. If such game becomes a called game and

(ii) has progressed far enough to become a regulation game, and the score is tied, the game shall be declared a tie game. A tie game is to be replayed in its entirety, unless the league president determines that playing the rescheduled game is not necessary to affect the league championship; or
(iii)has not progressed far enough to become a regulation game, the game shall be declared No Game. In such case, the game is to be replayed in its entirety, unless the league president determines that playing the rescheduled game is not necessary to affect the league championship.

Any player may be replaced by a player who had not been in the game prior to the suspension. No player removed before the suspension may be returned to the lineup.
A player who was not with the club when the game was suspended may be used as a substitute, even if he has taken the place of a player no longer with the club who would not have been eligible because he had been removed from the lineup before the game was suspended.
Rule 4.12(c) Comment: If immediately prior to the call of a suspended game, a substitute pitcher has been announced but has not retired the side or pitched until the batter becomes a baserunner, such pitcher, when the suspended game is later resumed may, but is not required to start the resumed portion of the game.

(d) Rain checks will not be honored for any regulation or suspended game that has progressed to or beyond a point of play described in Rule 4.10(c).
(a) (1) Only two championship games shall be played on one date. Completion of a suspended game shall not violate this rule.
(2) If two games are scheduled to be played for one admission on one date, the first game shall be the regularly scheduled game for that date.
After the start of the first game of a doubleheader, that game shall be completed before the second game of the doubleheader shall begin.
(c) The second game of a doubleheader shall start 20 minutes after the first game is completed, unless a longer interval (not to exceed 30 minutes) is declared by the umpire-in-chief and announced to the opposing managers at the end of the first game.
EXCEPTION: If the league president has approved a request of the home club for a longer interval between games for some special event, the umpire-in-chief shall declare such longer interval and announce it to the opposing managers. The umpire-in-chief of the first game shall be the timekeeper controlling the interval between games.
(d) The umpire shall start the second game of a doubleheader, if at all possible, and play shall continue as long as ground conditions, local time restrictions, or weather permit.

A game shall be forfeited to the opposing team when a team is unable or refuses to place nine players on the field.
If the umpire declares a game forfeited he shall transmit a written report to the league president within 24-hours thereafter, but failure of such transmittal shall not effect the forfeiture.
Each league shall adopt rules governing procedure for protesting a game, when a manager claims that an umpires decision is in violation of these rules. No protest shall ever be permitted on judgment decisions by the umpire. In all protested games, the decision of the League President shall be final.
Even if it is held that the protested decision violated the rules, no replay of the game will be ordered unless in the opinion of the League President the violation adversely affected the protesting teams chances of winning the game.
Rule 4.19 Comment: Whenever a manager protests a game because of alleged misapplication of the rules the protest will not be recognized unless the umpires are notified at the time the play under protest occurs and before the next pitch, play or attempted play. A protest arising on a game-ending play may be filed until 12 noon the following day with the league office.

Auburn University is a member of the SEC and was founded in 1856 as East Alabama Male College, a liberal arts school. Originally the school focused on agriculture and arts, but as time went on the classics and science became an integral part of the curriculum. One of the few universities in the country to be a land, sea and space grant research center, Auburn has had such notable students pass through its halls as NBA All-Star Charles Barkley, MLB and NFL superstar Bo Jackson and Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia.
Sports are big at Auburn, and football reign supreme where the Tigers make their home at Jordan Hare Stadium. Be sure to be there for the Iron Bowl, the yearly showdown with arch-rival Alabama! Once football has ended, there is plenty of great basketball being played over at Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum.

The Great Train Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center that concluded Sunday attracted people of all ages with one of the country's largest gatherings of its type in the country: 150 exhibits and displays.
"We expect anywhere from 4,000 to 5,000 people this weekend," said Bill Grove with Great Train Expo said last week. "There's stuff for everyone to enjoy here."
Greg Horter of Costa Mesa said he tries to take his family to as many train expos as he can. They've attended at least half a dozen in the past two years.
His son, Reagan, 5, was excited to see the variety of trains on display. When asked his favorite, he responded, "All of them!"

Building-automation and industrial control systems increasingly seen as entry points to organizations by hackers
The promise of interoperability long touted by manufacturers of building-automation and industrial control systems became a reality through the use of Internet protocols, but incorrect assumptions have led to serious consequences for systems and buildings. Using drivers in network controllers or the Extensible Markup Language (XML) layer as translators, disparate protocols from BACnet to LON to OPC and Modbus have been marshaled through Web-based dashboards to offer complete building ...

Grasshopper Pie – A light and creamy pie. Chocolate cookie crust, with a creamy mint filling. Great for the holidays.
Welcome to day #5 of Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen of Juanita's Cocina. Today's theme for Christmas Week is "Christmas Pies and Pastries". I hope you enjoyed this week as much as I have. So many great bloggers, and so many great recipes! And to top it off today we have an amazing Giveaway for you!
This pie is a Christmas tradition on my husbands side of the family. It has quickly become the thing I look forward to most with desserts at my in-laws over Christmas. It is the classic mint and chocolate combination that I love this time of year. It is also super light, that you always have room for it, even after a large meal. And a bonus, there is no baking involved!
My son enjoys this pie as well. That wasn't always the case though. When he was a little younger we would joke that there was real grasshoppers in there, and that was why it was green. He played it off like he didn't believe us, but still wouldn't touch the pie. Now his smart 7 year old self knows better, and made sure he had a good sized slice when we had it for our early Christmas this year.
Make sure you visit all the participating bloggers today to see what special dish they whipped up for you.

May 6, 2016
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The couple accused of kidnapping their two young sons and fleeing by boat to Cuba has been booked into a Florida jail after being handed over to U.S. authorities.
According to a website for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Joshua Michael Hakken and his wife Sharyn are being held at the jail early Wednesday on a number of charges including kidnapping, child neglect and interference with custody.
Authorities say Joshua Michael Hakken kidnapped his sons, 4-year-old Cole and 2-year-old Chase, from his mother-in-law's house north of Tampa. The boys' maternal grandparents had been granted permanent custody of the boys last week.
Earlier Tuesday, Foreign Ministry official Johana Tablada said in a statement that Cuba had informed U.S. authorities of the country's decision to turn over the couple and their children.

A nearly three-year operation by our troops has ended Friday.
The last of the U.S. troops sent to Afghanistan as part of a surge in 2009 have left the country.
President Obama ordered 33,000 additional troops to help prevent the Taliban from regaining a foothold in the country as the floundering Afghan government struggled to take hold, as well as give NATO troops the time to develop Afghan security forces.
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said the surge did accomplish its objectives, as it slowed Taliban momentum and diminished the areas under Taliban control. Panetta characterized the recent green-on-blue attacks committed against NATO forces by Afghan Army and police troops as the last gasp of a desperate insurgency.
Other military leaders, however, have openly referred to the attacks as a serious threat to the war campaign. The attacks have called into question the core strategy that relies on NATO troops working shoulder to shoulder with Afghans, training them to take over the security of their own country so the U.S. and its allies can leave at the end of 2014 as planned.
The withdrawal leaves 68,000 American forces in the war zone.

I'm not your typical average everyday girl. People see me as this, girly girl who likes to dress up, who likes to braid people's hair, and who likes to paint her nails everyother day. My family sees me as this tom-boy, who likes to cause trouble, make burnouts in the yard with her dirt bike, and loves texting. My friends see me as this girl who is always there for people, no matter who they are, or what has happened between them, they see me as a flirt, and they see me as a girl who has been through pretty much everything imaginable, and still manages to keep a smile on her face:) I see myself as a girl who is everything that is listed above. But I also see my self as a girl who loves to take her iPod out on a rainy day, put in her headphones, play her music on full blast, and sing at the top of her lungs and dance like theres no tomorrow. I see myself as this girl who loves to play in the mud, like to look for worms , (which is digging through the mud:D) to go fishing with her dad. Finally, I see myself as a girl who is beautiful, sweet, but with a lot of attitude, faithful, persistent, stubborn, and friendly. i'm not gonna let anyone else tell me diffrent. I'm An Original. I'm Not About To Let Myself Become A Copy. (:
........................ I think I would be an AWESOME modivational speaker one day.... :)

Everyone has their moments. My moments, are very very blonde:P I'm gonna tell you about some of my famous blonde moments:) I garantee you won't read this without a smile on your face:)
Blonde Moment #1:
This morning, I was tired. So I sat in my locker. (Yes, I can fit in my locker.) I probably sat their for about 4 minutes, then the bell rang. I went to get out of my locker... And I can't stand up! My hips were to wide, and my friend Kyle M, He saw that I was freaking out, so he offered to help. I accepted. He pulled and he pulled and he pulled, but I would not budge. Finally, Mr. Bart was in a good mood, and he decided to help me. It felt like I dislocated my shoulder Haha. But he got me out:)
Blonde Moment #2:
Last Friday, me and my family went out to this restraunt. As we were about to leave, my mother tells me, "Haley, watch the window." So I turn around, and watch the window. Then my mother says, "Come on Haley, its time to go." I say "But you just told me to watch the window!" Mother says " Haley!! I meant watch the window while you slide out of your chair, so you don't hit it and break it!!" :)
Blonde Moment #3:
This morning, I saw my puppy Maddie, she is a black lab. (Remember, its morning, I'm a little slow:)) I scream "DAD!!!! THERE'S A BEAR IN THE HOUSE!!!!" He runs out of the kitchen and into the living room and sees me staring at Maddie. He says "Haley, thats the dog!!!!" I rub my eyes and say "Oh yeah! You can go back to the kitchen now. Its all good here:)" He was very mad;)
That's me! :) I love my moments. No matter how stupid I feel!!:)

Have you ever looked in the mirror and see someone you didn't recognize? Like, everyday you would fake a smile or a laugh just to make everyone happy, while your just dying and crying inside? Well I have. Everyday it felt like when I tried to reach out, no one could hear me. It's a mask, and I'm NOT just wearing it because Halloween is near.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been picked on, and made fun of. Everyone used to ask me if my mother had dropped me on my head when I was a baby. Some people STILL ask me that. Well what they don't know is that when I was four months old, I was adopted. My biological parents were really bad people. Mom was a drug addict, alcholic, and a child abuser. So was my biological father. I have three brothers named Michael Arneil, Robert Arneil, and Jacob Arneil. I have a grandmother named June, and a grandfather named Ron. Micheal, Bobby, and Jake live with them. The only reason my grandparents didn't take me in was because ALL my brothers knew, was hitting. When my mom was pregnant with me, she took drugs and drank alchohol. That is why I act different than normal people. I am hyper, annoying, and I have a short attention span.
For all of you people who bully kids for being different, for all of you kids who made my life miserable, you think I asked to be this way? No. I used to hate myself before I knew the truth. But, now that you know my story, maybe, JUST maybe, when you see a kid that used to be like me, you stop and think about this story before you go and make fun of them. And just so you know, I'm glad you people made fun of me. Because if you didn't then I wouldn't be the person I am today. So thank you.

There is no feeling like it. Once I start, I can't seem to stop. When I sing, It feels right. Like, I know this is where I'm supposed to be. When I'm singing, I don't have to be someone I'm not. This is me, and I love it. Its the best feeling in the world as you are on the stage and you had just finnished a song and you hear the crowd cheering! When I sing, I feel like I belong. Like, I am the star, and people come up to me saying "You are amazing!!!" or "I wanna be like her!" instead of "Your so annoying!" or "Haley, just shut up." I love that feeling of being superier to the other students:) Singing is my life. Sure I get nervous a little bit right before I get on stage. But I overcome it very quickley.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who commented on my blogs. Especially my most recent one. I read the comments and they were so enthusiastic I couldn't help but smile. I also can't help but thank the people who make me smile. Sometimes it is just too hard to smile on your own, and knowing there are people willing to be there for you is a wonderful feeling. Thank you again, and keep the comments coming! :)

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, May 14, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Actress Angelina Jolie shared some big news Tuesday. She went public about getting a voluntary double mastectomy.
She says she made the tough decision after getting test results that showed she had an 87 percent of getting breast cancer.
The same decision hits close to home with a lot of women right here in our area.
Danielle Whitlock lost her mom eight years ago to breast cancer. She's been afraid of meeting the same fate until now.
"She [my mom] was my inspiration to do what I did, and I'm glad I did it," Whitlock said.
After some testing, Whitlock found out she had precancerous cells, meaning she could get cancer down the road. She opted to have both of her breasts removed to prevent that from happening.
"I have two young children, twins myself. At the time, they were 9, now they're 10, but I said I need to do this for them. I need to do this for myself."
Monique Braswell is recovering at home from a double mastectomy right now. She was diagnosed with breast cancer, and a doctor told her if she just removed one breast, she could run the risk of it coming back in the other.
"I just thought, do it all at once and be done with it," she said.
Braswell says the decision to take the other breast was obvious to her.
"It was all about life. It was about seeing my twins graduate from high school in six years," she said.
In an op-ed in the New York Times, Jolie says the decision for her came down to family, too. But the public announcement from a celebrity who has been an icon of physical beauty for years reconfirms what local women say they know firsthand.
"Breasts don't define you as women, as a woman. It absolutely does not define you as a woman," Braswell said.

Small business owners who rely on the nation's military posts for their business say they are already bracing for a hit from the automatic budget cuts that took effect March 1.
Soldiers' salaries are exempt from the cuts, which total roughly $85 billion across the entire military. However, civilian employees who work on bases are expecting furloughs that could significantly slash their paychecks.
Near North Carolina's Fort Bragg, in Fayetteville, Mike Thomas is the general manager of Auto Express. Thomas says smaller paychecks mean fewer sales at his shop, which specializes in selling Jeeps, chrome wheels and sound systems.
Business owners in Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas and Alabama that rely on bases are expecting a similar hit. They say people could wind up spending less on everything from haircuts to furniture.

Stroke and TIA: Who Is Affected
Topic Overview
About 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke each year. About 610,000 are first strokes, and about 185,000 are recurrent attacks:1
- Stroke is a leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer.
- Stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States.
- Women are less likely than men to have a stroke in almost all age ranges. But because women live longer than men, their lifetime risk of stroke is higher than for men. And more women than men die from strokes every year.
- Blacks are almost twice as likely as whites to have a stroke.
The exact number of people who have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is not known for certain, because people do not always recognize a TIA. And about half of the people who have had a TIA don't ever see a doctor for it.
It is estimated that about 200,000 TIAs are diagnosed by a doctor in the United States each year. Men, African Americans, and Mexican Americans have TIAs more often than women and people of other races.1

The Darrell Gwynn Foundation will hold a Bump 50/50 Drawing during the Pro Winter Warmups at the Palm Beach International Raceway on January 18-19. Race fans and DGF supporters will have a chance to win prizes such as cash and memorabilia by purchasing drawing tickets at the racetrack or online at www.darrellgwynnfoundation.org. The proceeds from the drawing ticket sales will benefit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation's Wheelchair Donation Program. The Darrell Gwynn Foundation's mission is to SUPPORT people with paralysis and PREVENT spinal cord injuries.
Tickets for the Pro Winter Warm-ups can be purchased at www.racepbir.com. Fans are encouraged to use the promo code DGF2013 and $10 of the ticket will be donated to the Darrell Gwynn Foundation will be made.
"This is a great opportunity for South Florida race fans to see the fastest cars on earth, win some great prizes and support a great cause," said Darrell Gwynn, president of the Darrell Gwynn Foundation. "The pro Winter Warm-up is such a cool experience for race fans and this year you have the added bonus of the drawing and witnessing the magic of a wheelchair donation."
Bump 50/50 Drawing tickets will be available on sale at the racetrack during the event. Race fans can visit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation Merchandise Trailer at the racetrack to purchase drawing tickets or locate DGF volunteers wearing red shirts walking the grounds and grandstands selling drawing tickets. Drawing tickets cost 1 for $5, 3 for $10, 15 for $20 or 100 for $100. They can also be purchased online at www.darrellgwynnfoundation.org. The drawing will be held on Saturday, January 19 during the final round of testing at the Pro Winter Warm-up. The first prize winner will win the cash prize charity split. Second and third place winners will when racing memorabilia from the Kenny Bernstein and Darrell Gwynn collections. You do not have to be present to win the drawing.
Using proceeds from Bump 50/50 Drawing Ticket sales, the Darrell Gwynn Foundation will donate a $17,000 custom wheelchair to Christine Kent of Fort Lauderdale. Christine sustained a spinal cord injury five years ago when she was assaulted and run over by an SUV in her driveway during a violent crime. Her current wheelchair provided by her health insurance does not meet her health needs and causes her lot of pain. She is not eligible for a new wheelchair from insurance for several more years. The new wheelchair donated by DGF will ease her pain and give her the gift of mobility to continue her community activism with Women in Distress, the Center for Independent Living of Broward, Broward Spinal Cord Injury Support Group and the Oakland Park Police Department.
For the third consecutive year, Palm Beach International Raceway will once again host professional drag racing's biggest preseason event, The Pro Winter Warm-up, on January 18-19, 2013 to kick off the year. For two nights only will South Florida fans have the opportunity to witness the fastest Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars race the all-concrete drag strip at PBIR.
The lineup of professional drag racing teams already committed to the event include: John Force, the 15 time NHRA Funny Car champion and his daughter Courtney Force, who went on to be named the 2012 "Rookie of the Year" after racing against her father for the first time ever at the Pro Winter Warmup in January, 2012. Also in the staging lanes will be Tony Schumacher, a 7-time NHRA Top Fuel Champion and son of racing legend and team owner, Don Schumacher. Reigning 2012 Top Fuel Champion, Antron Brown and Funny Car Champion Jack Beckman will both make a return to PBIR. Other drivers participating include John Force Racing teammates Robert Hight and Mike Neff, Don Schumacher Racing's drivers Ron Capps, Matt Hagan and Johnny Gray, Kalitta Motorsports drivers Doug Kalitta, Dave Grubnic, Del Worsham and Alexis DeJoria. PRO single-car teams that will be testing include, Bob Tasca III, Cruz Pedregon, Terry McMillen and Bob Vandergriff Jr.
The Pro Winter Warmup at PBIR offers fans unparalleled access to the behind the scenes action of drag racing. Unlike events held during the regular season, the "no purse, no pressure" atmosphere of the Pro Winter Warmup provides fans the chance for up close and personal contact to meet with the sports' top drivers. At PBIR, race fans are caught in the middle of the action amongst the frantic thrashes in the pits to witnessing the fastest accelerating machines in the world on track. With over 8,000 horsepower, top fuel dragsters and funny cars will spit fire and race down the drag strip in just a few seconds at speeds over 300 mph.
Horsepower enthusiasts will experience the power of speed as just one of the eight cylinders of a Top Fuel dragster or Funny Car produces 750 horsepower, equaling the entire horsepower of a NASCAR engine.
"The growth of the Pro Winter Warm-up has been tremendous in the first two years. Now in our third year of partnering with the Pro team owners to bring nitro racing to South Florida, we anticipate the largest event yet. The success of this event has been the partnership between our company, the team owners and the drivers." said Jason Rittenberry, president and CEO of Palm Beach International Raceway. "Our fans will once again be treated to the fury of 8,000 horsepower nitro cars under the lights for two nights at PBIR."
About the Darrell Gwynn Foundation:
Founded in 2002 by Champion Drag Racer Darrell Gwynn and his wife Lisa, the Darrell Gwynn Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to provide AWARENESS, PREVENTION, SUPPORT and ultimately a CURE for paralysis. In an effort to create more awareness about spinal cord injuries, the Darrell Gwynn Foundation successfully lobbied for an established Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week with a resolution passed by the Florida Legislature in 2006. The foundation operates an Education & Prevention Program directed to high school students to educate them on the dangers of risky behavior that can lead to spinal cord injuries. This rapidly growing program reaches over 10,000 students annually at over 50 high schools. The foundation's primary support program is its national Wheelchair Donation Program. With this program the Darrell Gwynn Foundation has donated custom built wheelchairs to hundreds of individuals in need. The foundation also maintains a model Patient Assitance Fund offering support services and tools at Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado with aspirations to expand this model to several hospitals nationwide. The Patient Assitance Fund also supports the Betty Jane France Pediatric Center, at Halifax Hospital in Daytona, Fla. and Homestead Hospital in Homestead, Fla. Additionally the foundation provides financial support through its Fast Track Laboratory with the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis aimed at finding a cure for paralysis. With tremendous fundraising partners such as Barrett-Jackson, the NHRA, NASCAR and many more generous sponsors, individual supporters and donors, the Darrell Gwynn Foundation continues to evolve as a leading foundation for those with spinal cord injuries.

Sending non-cloned mutable data as an argument may result in that data being altered or deleted by the called function, thereby putting the calling function into an undefined state.
- Integrity: Potentially data could be tampered with by another function which should not have been tampered with.
Exposure period
- Implementation: This flaw is a simple logic issue, introduced entirely at implementation time.
- Languages: C/C++ or Java
- Operating platforms: Any
Required resources
Likelihood of exploit
In situations where unknown code is called with references to mutable data, this external code may possibly make changes to the data sent. If this data was not previously cloned, you will be left with modified data which may, or may not, be valid in the context of execution.
Risk Factors
In C\C++:
private: int foo. complexType bar; String baz; otherClass externalClass; public: void doStuff() { externalClass.doOtherStuff(foo, bar, baz) }
In this example, bar and baz will be passed by reference to doOtherStuff() which may change them.

Spiritual Practices
20-minute Sabbaths
The following spiritual practices were presented at APCE workshops by Tammy Wiens and Meg Rift. Many of the ideas presented here are discussed in fuller detail in "Lord, Teach Us To Pray." (To order call Presbyterian Distribution Services at (800) 524-2612 and ask for #70-440-04-001. The cost is $12.50 plus shipping and handling.)
The workshops encouraged and supported "Sabbath-breakers" who desire to become "Sabbath-makers." Making time for Sabbath runs counter to our cultural obsession with achievement because achievement is usually measured by how much we are doing. Sabbath does not fall neatly into the "doing" category.
Sabbath, by its very nature, is the antithesis of doing and achieving. This creates a dilemma that results in most of us feeling guiltier about making Sabbath than we do about breaking Sabbath. We live in the tension of wanting and needing Sabbath, but are afraid to let on that we actually have time in our schedules for it. What will it take for you and me to stand by our conviction and unapologetically make time for Sabbath? These ideas for 20-minute Sabbaths are intended as tools that help us bring little chunks of the Sabbath day into every day of the week. We are envisioning Sabbath-making as a way of life. We are talking about "Sabbath" as a quality of time, not a quantity of time.
To observe Sabbath is to keep constantly before us our dependence on God who creates, sustains, and provides. Use some of the ideas suggested here for 20 minutes each day in which you intentionally rest from your efforts to provide for yourself, in order to devote your attention to God as your sole provider.
Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is a contemporary spiritual practice that finds its roots in the millennia-old discipline of lectio divina. In this form of contemplative prayer, one lives out the desire to be in God's presence simply by resting in that presence, without need for dialogue or action. Instead, a single word directs the intention toward intimacy with the divine. As formulated by Thomas Keating, one of the originators of the method and now its leading teacher, the practice of Centering Prayer can be summed up as follows:
- Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God's presence and action within.
- Sitting comfortably, and with eyes closed, settle briefly; and silently introduce the sacred word as the symbol of your consent to God's presence and action within.
- When engaged with your thoughts, return ever-so-gently to the sacred word.
- At the end of the prayer period, remain in silence with eyes closed for several minutes.
Taken from Open Mind Open Heart: The Contemplative Dimension of the Gospel. NY: Continuum, 1992: 139.)
The Jesus Prayer
"The Jesus Prayer" refers to a short prayer , the words of which are: 'Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner,' constantly repeated. The Jesus Prayer is known to innumerable Orthodox and many other Christians as a form of devotion that can be used at any moment, whatever the situation. The main emphasis is on the repetition of the prayer; it can be said while sitting, walking, or working, silently or aloud.
" More than any other prayer, the Jesus Prayer aims at bringing us to stand in God's presence with no other thought but the miracle of our standing there and God with us, because in the use of the Jesus Prayer there is nothing and no one except God and us."
Adapted from "The Jesus Prayer" by Metropolitan Anthony Bloom

Lectio Divina (Prayerful Reading)
Lectio divina is an ancient method for praying with the Bible, being open to hearing in the words of Scripture a personally enlivening and transforming word from God. Begin by choosing a brief passage of Scripture, and a place where you can be quiet and undisturbed in your prayer time. After you have taken a few minutes to quiet your mind, turn your attention to the passage you have selected.
- Read a short passage of text that you have decided upon in advance. Read slowly, letting your awareness rest in turn upon each word, savoring it. As you read, be alert for any particular word or phrase that draws your attention in a special way.
- Meditate on this word or phrase, allowing it to engage you fully. Does the word upon which you are meditating connect with some aspect of your own experience? As you hold this word or phrase in your heart, let yourself become aware of any answering words, images, or memories that arise in you.
- Respond to the Word you have heard, simply and directly. Your heart may call out in thanks, or praise, or joy. If the Word has been painful, your response might be one of remorse, or anger, or supplication.
- Rest in God's presence, content simply to be with God.

Debra, the best source for official guidance on prayer in the PC(USA) is the Directory for Worship, in our Book of Order. See section W-5.4000. You should be able to find it online if you don't have a printed copy handy. While the Directory doesn't mention centering prayer explicitly, it does seem to recommend practices consistent with that discipline. I hope this helps.
Can you please tell me is PCUSA subscribes to the practice of Centering Prayer? I'd like to start a group in my church Ankeny Presbyterian Church, Ankeny IA and it seems no one is famalier with the practice. I need to know if PCUSA can use Centering Prayer as a practice for a small group within a church. Thank you very much. Debi Garner
