Katy Perry made teenage dreams come true everywhere when she rocked a form-fitting cotton-candy blue gown at the Grammys on Sunday. The singer coordinated her dress with her bright cobalt hair and a pretty pink pout.
Following one of the major trends spotted at this year's award's show, Perry's powder blue, beaded gown was high-cut in front, just skimming her collarbone before dipping all the way down her back. The gown's quarter-length sleeves and floor-skimming length made it perfectly sophisticated.
Paired with neutral makeup palettes, this gown would look perfectly natural on classic fashion icons as Jackie Kennedy, but we all know that simple and refined isn't exactly Perry's style. To give this classy gown an edge, Perry kept her naturally-brunette locks dyed a bright blue and swept back from her face.
While her hair was far from mainstream, she made sure to mix up her makeup ideas, too. Instead of classic red lips, the entertainer chose a bubblegum pink lip color and lined her light green eyes with thick black eyeliner, covering her lids with dark graphite eyeshadow.

Bree Tanner and Diego were both newborn members of the Seattle newborn army, created by Victoria. They became a couple one week before their battle against the Cullens. They died at different times; Diego was tormented to death by Victoria for discovering that sunlight didn't hurt vampires, like they were told; and Bree was accused of being a criminal and executed by Felix.
In the Eclipse, Bree was the only one who existed. She was portrayed by Jodelle Ferland.
Bree Tanner
- "Diego grinned at me, his face beautiful with light, and suddenly, with a deep lurch in my stomach, I realized that the whole BFF thing was way off the mark. It was just that fast... But even though Diego looked like his normal self again - not made of blazing light anyway - I knew he would never look the same to me. That tingly sensation in the pit of my stomach was still there. I had a feeling it would be there permanently."
- ―Bree on Diego[src]
Bree Tanner lived with her abusive father for most of her human life. She was led to believe that her mother left her at the tender age of two. In reality, Bree's father killed her mother. After numerous years of abuse, Bree could no longer endure her father's abuse and ran away from home, completely disregarding her father's warning of starvation. Bree was forced to either steal food or eat out of garbage cans. Three weeks after deserting her home, Bree encountered Riley. Marveling at his beauty, Bree accepted the "burger" he had offered. It was at this point that Riley brought her to Victoria to be transformed into a vampire.
After her transformation, Bree was brought into the army. While the members fought and killed each other for sports, she sought solitude and tended to keep to herself and hide behind a gifted vampire named Fred, who could avoid unwanted attention with his power. This method kept her alive for the next few months.
- "He ducked close and kissed me - just a peck, but right on the lips. The shock of it zinged through my whole body."
- ―Diego's kiss[src]
Diego grew up in a lower-class, single-parent home in LA with his mother and little brother. He worked part-time jobs to help out while attending high school, and had a goal in life: to leave his street life and go to college as well as help his brother get a proper education. He managed to stay out of trouble, but when his little brother failed to do so and died as a consequence, Diego tried to avenge him. That night, Diego killed his brother's killer and then was cornered by armed enemies. Just then, Riley Biers came to his rescue and asked if he wanted a new life. Riley escorted Diego to Victoria, who transformed him into a vampire. After a while he befriended a fellow newborn, Bree. The two became fond of one another and became mates. However, Diego learned of information regarding Riley that would have jeopardize the loyalty of the Victoria's army. Because of his knowledge, Riley killed him in an attempt to silence him.
In the next eleven months of his new life as a vampire, Diego acted as the most responsible member, always looking after his lesser tamed mates, even if they didn't want to be looked after. Part of Diego's obedience and loyalty toward Riley came from Riley having been his only friend during Diego's vampiric life. Riley, in return, was very fond of him.
The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
- Main article: The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
During a night out, Bree and Diego separated from two other ruthless vampires - Kevin and Casey - who were fighting for the blood of a victim. The two bonded and, in the process, fell in love. Bree felt very safe around Diego because of his generosity. In the next morning, they discovered the true effects that sunlight had on vampires and that they could not be harmed by wooden stakes, and planned to tell Riley of their discovery. Diego further encouraged their love by kissing Bree, effectively showing her his genuine feelings. Diego went to inform Riley alone and upon hearing of his discoveries, Riley took him to Victoria who decided to kill Diego before tormenting him to extract all information out of him. To cover his tracks, Riley pretended and informed Bree that Diego was with the one they call "Her" (Victoria) when in actuality Diego was tortured by Victoria and Riley before being murdered.
- Main article: Eclipse
When Bree agreed to participate in the army's assault, she had high hopes that Diego would be present; however, to her dismay, Diego wasn't anywhere to be found in the field. It was then she realized Riley and Victoria had killed Diego to silence his words to the newborns regarding the sun. After Victoria's army was disbanded, Bree was executed by the Volturi in front of the Cullen family. The Cullens begged for Bree's life, explaining that they would take responsibility for her; however, the Volturi refused to accept persuasion and the Cullens were unable to save Bree from her unfortunate death. However, Bree was content to know that her enemies were willing to defend her.

Will Kim and Kourtney Kardashian Breastfeed Each Other's Kids?
KOURTNEY and KIM KARDASHIAN were on the "Today" show yesterday, and they talked about how cool it is that Kim is pregnant, because they can breastfeed each other's kids.
--Kim said, quote, "You know what [Kourtney] said to me on the way over here? She said that in the old days . . . and maybe we should try this . . . one sister should babysit all the kids so I can go out, or vice versa, and then whichever sister's babysitting should just breastfeed all the kids that are there."
--Kourtney insisted that she didn't suggest they ACTUALLY try it . . . but at the same time, she said the idea wasn't weird to her.
Tony Danza Threw Up on a Plane . . . and Kate Upton Thinks He Was Hung Over
The "New York Post" reports that TONY DANZA filled his throw-up bag in first class on a flight from New York to L.A. And he told the other passengers he was fighting the flu.
--But KATE UPTON happened to be sitting nearby, and she told a different story. Kate was flying with a manager from her modeling agency named Lisa Benson.
--And after the incident she Tweeted, quote, "I just found out [Lisa] has a phobia of throw up. I don't want to laugh but it is kind of funny the guy next to her is hungover."
(--Apparently, Kate didn't know who Tony was. But that's understandable. As the website Gawker.com points out, she was born two months after "Who's the Boss?" went off the air.)
Megan Fox Began Speaking in Tongues When She Was 8, and She Believes in the Loch Ness Monster
MEGAN FOX gave quite a revealing interview to "Esquire" recently. Of course, there were revealing pictures but what she had to say is of a bit more interest.
--For instance, she says she SPEAKS IN TONGUES. It all started at a Pentecostal church in Tennessee when she was 8.
--She says, quote, "The energy is so intense in the room that you feel like anything can happen . . . have you ever watched footage of a Santeria gathering or someone doing voodoo? You know how palpable the energy is? Whatever's going on there, it's for real."
--Megan still goes to church, and still has the urge to let the spirit speak through her.
--For those of you who've never spoken in tongues, here's what it's like . . . quote, "It feels like a lot of energy coming through the top of your head . . . I'm going to sound like such a lunatic . . .
--"And then your whole body is filled with this electric current. And you just start speaking, but you're not thinking because you have no idea what you're saying.
--"Words are coming out of your mouth, and you can't control it. The idea is that it's a language that only God understands. It's the language that's spoken in heaven. It's called 'getting the Holy Ghost.'"
--Megan also cops to believing in stuff like aliens, leprechauns and the Loch Ness monster. She says, quote, "[I am] childlike in my spirit, and I want to believe in fairy tales. I believe in all of this stuff."
--She adds, quote, "Would you not be so much more interested in finding out that Bigfoot existed than in watching a really good movie? . . . These are my celebrities."
Ryan Gosling's Perfect Day Would Involve . . . Knitting?
Here's something you're not going to hear too many guys admit: RYAN GOSLING loves to KNIT.
--He says, quote, "I did this scene in 'Lars and the Real Girl' where I was in a room full of old ladies who were knitting, and it was an all-day scene, so they showed me how. It was one of the most relaxing days of my life.
--"If I had to design my perfect day, that would be it. And you get something out of it at the end. You get a nice present. For someone who wants an oddly shaped, off-putting scarf."

Britain's "Sun" tabloid clams ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART are OVER. Supposedly, he broke it off this past weekend.
--A so-called "source" breaks it down like this: Quote, "Kristen was supposed to be Rob's date for the Golden Globes, but he told her he wants to cool it off.
--"He loves her . . . but would rather go back to being good friends so they can rebuild their trust and focus on work after 'Twilight'
--"Kristen's upset but understands. She shouldn't have pushed him to reconcile after her infidelity. She's hoping he'll come around and time will be a great healer."

We last left our hero (you) in the middle of the woods at his mother in law's rickety old farm house. He was with his beautiful woman and just about to step up the the looming door.
… As you both stare at the sorry excuse for a house in front of you, you lightly squeeze her hand and smile. Is there anything I should know before we go in there?you say with a wink.
She looks at you with wide eyes and slightly parts her lips, "Eat whatever they put in front of you." Before you can react to this odd statement, the front door flies open. Two hideous creatures run at you while you stand immobilized by fear and confusion. Is this really happening?
Before you know it, you are blindfolded and dragged into the house. You hit your head on the steps and go unconscious. Everything is black. When you awake you find that you are still blindfolded. You can't move your hands or feet and realize you are bound to a chair. Your body goes cold. This is the end. You try to slow down you breathing and listen to the sounds in the room. Things are rustling and people are whispering. In your panic you can't make out what they are saying.
All of a sudden the blindfold is ripped from your face. You are now able to see the horror around you. Hideous faces peer at your hungrily from the dark smokey room. The faces are warped and twisted. They unlike any human face you've ever seen. Before you can really adjust your eyes, a hand grabs the back of your head and shoves you and the chair full speed towards the dinner table. Your eyes widen in horror as you see what appears to be a half eaten body stretched across the table. Your blood races through your veins as you close your eyes and pray for this not to be real.
A horrid breathy growl of a voice bites at your ear. "Eat", it says. Another creature twists and moves unsettling towards you with a knife. It points at the others staring all around you. They have guns pointed. You know there is no way out of this. In the corner of your eye you see your beautiful lady. She sits at the table with her eyes down. You wonder if these things killed her family or if they are her family. Thoughts race. Did she plan to do this to you? Your thoughts are cut off by the cold blade of the knife against your skin. It cuts the ropes and your hands are free.
The hand on the back of your head pushes your face into the table. "EAT!", it growls with more intensity this time. You grab the fork and without hesitation spin around and plunge it right into your captor's shoulder. A scream is let out, followed by a strange muffled laughter. You are stunned and frozen. All around you the laughter gets louder… followed by cheering.You look at your lady and she has a big beautiful smile on her face. What is going on?
The creatures drop their guns and peel at their faces. Your brain feels like it's going to explode any minute. You are disconnected with reality. You must be going crazy. You close your eyes. You open them. People. Normal people. Normal people are staring back at you. The creature that you had plunged the fork in was a normal looking American. He had a smile on his face. He shook his head in laughter and said, "Welcome to the family boy! You sure are somethin'! We put a hell of a scare in you. Most sissies run to the door but you put up a fight!" He reached and pulled out the fork from his shoulder. No blood! "Good thing I got this big foam suit on just in case things get messy!" he said in his burly southern voice.
Another woman chipped in, "We get our masks on Frightcatalog.com. We just wanted to see who is tough enough to deserve our baby girl! You passed the test!' Your whole body is aching and you can't see straight. You point at the table towards the bloody half eaten body and start to mumble, "but.." You are cut off by another voice, "Oh, that's just a prop we got off the site too. Sure did fool you!". More laughter.
Your lady comes running up to you with her strawberry gold locks bouncing behind her. She wraps her arms around you and kisses you on the lips. "Oh honey, you did so well! Welcome to the family!"
With that, you haphazardly push her away and untie your legs from the chair. You take a moment to breathe, you stand up, give a salute to the crazy family around you, and walk towards the door, grabbing the apple pie on your way out. No broad is worth shitting your pants over.
Open road, apple pie, and a football game on TV for when you get home. Not too bad.
The End.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- When things weren't clicking at the beginning of the season, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos spent most of their time looking at the film and working out the kinks on the practice field -- and very little time focusing on the standings.
The work is paying off, and if they bothered to look at those standings Monday, they would've liked what they saw.
After their runaway win over Baltimore and New England's loss to San Francisco, the Broncos are the No. 2 seed in the AFC and only need victories at home over Cleveland and Kansas City, combined record 7-21, to wrap up a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Eight of the 10 AFC teams to make the Super Bowl under the current playoff format have had a first-round bye.

Tom and Jerry
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
|It is requested that an image or images be included in this article to improve its quality.
"The perfect combination of household pets and graphic violence."
"This is a kid's show?"
The Tom and Jerry Show (better known simply as Tom and Jerry) is a violent cartoon about two homicidal maniacs who constantly kill each other for no reason. The two are said to take the appearance of a cat and mouse, thus seeming cute and cuddly on the outside. This show is rated PG +34 for being outstandingly violent. It was incredibly famous in the last few decades, before the corrupt Warner Bros. messed it up and shows like South Park, Happy Tree Friends, Saw: The Animated Series, and the rip-off Itchy and Scratchy stole T&J's fame and violence.
As previously mentioned, the show is about homicidal animals who kill each other for fun. Why do they hate each other so much? Well, it began when Jerry went to some dinner theater somewhere. Tom worked there as a stand-up comedian, the ones who tell those dirty jokes that aren't even funny. Jerry got drunk and dissed Tom. So Tom started mauling Jerry with his claws. The next morning, Tom was fired but got Jerry's wallet in the fight. He later phoned a hospitalized Jerry to tell him that he raped and ate his wife. Jerry reacted by brutally murdering Tom. And that's how Tom and Jerry began their long enemyship.
Tom - (April 22, 1919-April 30, 2006) A dim-witted cat who is the main
hero victim of the T&J Show. He has had a long history of being huffed during his kittenhood. He is also a loser because he is the only cat who fails at catching mice. And I blame him. Tom didn't pay any attention at mouse-catching school, because he kept ditching class to jack off. One day, his teacher caught him jacking off, so he was sold to a pet store and neutered as punishment. One day, he was found on the streets and hired to be a star in the T&J Show. Sadly, no one warned him about Jerry.
Jerry - (b. June 25, 1923) A mouse who is the primary villain of the T&J Show. Jerry has experienced years of child abuse through beatings from his drunk father. Like all mice, Jerry is addicted to cheese, which Tom uses as an advantage, because everyone knows mice are stupid and can't help but to take cheese lying on an obvious mouse-trap in plain sight. Jerry now spends most of his time torturing Tom. It has been his favorite hobby ever since his best friend/love interest was killed with an oriole. Whatever that means.
Spike - (August 28, 1892-August 21, 1983) Just some big morbidly-obese bulldog. He isn't really an important part of the show, except when he gets caught in the middle of Tom and Jerry's homicidal antics, which usually ruin his chances to hump his owner's leg. He then beats the living sh*t out of Tom.

I'm so excited! It's a great feeling seeing a spot on the Beastland's map take shape and personality!
Not really 100% what I'm doing with this, seeing as I've barely read anything about the cooperative mapping project, but why not jump in blind folded and find a way to tie my hands behind my back as I go?
Haven't really had time for my other mapping projects currently, just getting a bit of time to go back to them and when I saw the new challenge up I decided they can simmer on the back burner a little longer still.
I glanced around at the Wiki, and picked the first named town that didn't appear to have much done on it. Hopefully I'm not stepping on someone's toes here, and if I am, then I'm sure I can rename a few things, and move this to somewhere else.
The goal is to be a rough outline of the city, highlighting major landmarks in a slightly out of scale artistic means. I've gone to a far lighter background, and will hopefully end up with a more colourful map, but still keeping a hand drawn, pusdo-period look.
Seeing as I have about a month, I'll hopefully pick away at some fairly in depth storylines to go along with the map. Going to have to get in touch with the region map's maker and see what they have to say about things.
I'm so excited! It's a great feeling seeing a spot on the Beastland's map take shape and personality!
Some more work on it, sadly I haven't had as much free time as I would have liked.
Laying out the main roads, the wider, grander, semi planned roads that are wide enough for several wagons to travel either way at a time. I ended up settling on about 10 feet per pixel on the 2000x2000 map, and I haven't finished calculating the final probable population yet.
The settlement started near the Old Keep on the North-West bank of the river, and after an initial growth there, another village was founded on the island, with a stone keep raised near Iron Town Castle. This area was soon walled in, and because the island had limited wood, most building is stone.
This second keep was rebuilt several times, and the small village spilled out onto the rest of the island, a second and third keep were built at where the light houses now stand. I'm debating if I want to put an old wall around the central fair/market in Town Proper.
About 100 years after the island villages were founded, the trade in Iron began. Upriver, mine and logging camps would ship iron ore and charcoal south, and the original Iron Works was founded across the river on the flatter ground that had better access to wood. This area was soon walled in, and became a filthy mass of men, iron, wood and stone. (You can see the path the wall will take around the central Ironworks, the end of the wider, more open road ways to allow for larger yards for the smelters and smithing.)
The island towns grew, and soon the whole area was built up, and becoming over crowded. At this time the already over crowded laborer's homes/apartments right next to the ironworks they labored in of course burned down. This prompted the newly self crowned king to order a larger, more defensive wall to be built around the Ironworks on a small curving hill, and that the old ironworks walls define an area that ONLY master smiths and smelters could build shops, and that none could actually live within the walls. Offering a great deal of wealth to any smith that came to Irontown with 3 or more apprentices, the city was soon rebuilt, and trade boomed even more. The North and South keeps were raised more and acted as light houses, and a large bridge was built across the narrows at the north. (not sure if I want to build any in the south, or just use ferries. That is after all, not a narrow bit of river.)
The city is one of the best guarded in the world, with a militia of every able bodied male that is considered grown by his race's standards is outfitted with some of the finest arms and armour in the world. Master smith's are taxed at 1/10th their coin a month, or two of their finest creations a year. They are also required to keep on hand a stock of weapons and armour for the city militia in a time of war. Traders are also taxed 1/10th of their weapons or armour they leave the city with.
The great protection from the mundane has also attracted a small community of arcane magic users from the region. Drawn there by the safety offered by the walls, they further enhanced some of the defenses, and are often pay taxes by way of enchanting weapons for the city's defense.
This has left Irontown one of the few cities in the world that has almost every common city guard carrying Master Work arms and armour, and nearly 1 in 10 is likely to have one with some minor enchantment.
I'm planning to have the old town and keep basically abandoned. Destroyed shortly after the fire gutted the first Ironworks by the king's slightly mad son, who was obsessed with spiders. I'm thinking of doing a large dungeon under it, with a minor Lich or something that likes to toy with adventurers, and no and then send infestations of common spiders across the river for one night every year or so.
Interesting process of 'webbing' your regions with roads before you start. I like it. The density of roads gives an immediate indication of the region.
I look forward to the outcome.
My only comment would be on the regularity of the grid in the poor quarter. Slums/poor areas tend to ignore regular grids, even if they start with them. People construct buildings against building to save the cost of walls. Most everyone walks, so all streets congest and disappear in many cases. Even the idea of private land ownership is weak, so often public thoroughfares cut right through "property" lines. The main paths would all be radial from water sources, markets, and holy places, not grids.

I've added an area of larger lots in the north of the Ironworks side, this will be for the less wealthy master smiths, or the more practical that choose to not travel across the harbor every morning. I've drawn out most of the walls and fortifications, and tonight I think I will finish those, and work on the harbor if I have time.
I'm not sure how much I'm liking the colours, so those I'll be playing with later this week, and maybe change my intended style if I find something that looks better.
### Latest WIP ###
So, I'm not sure I'm happy with how the layout is going, I'm thinking that I will start a new copy, and try something different. I'm not sure if I'll finish this before then end of the month sadly, but I will get it done eventually. (Or offer up the working file to someone else that wants to finish it.)
But, there is a problem. The city is too large, at the current scale I would place the estimation of the population at over 70,000, (More if there are a lot of halflings) To support such a city, I would have to carve out a small kingdom, well, actually a fairly large one. I was kind of thinking of putting a kingdom that is somewhat scattered in settlements ranging from Irontown to Farpoint, thus giving Farpoint its name. It was the farthest point in the kingdom at the time of its founding.
For the settlement of the kingdom, I was thinking basically a large string of farms, with small walled villages. Basically long strips of 'civilization', each only an hour or two apart by horse, and all fields to feed the city Small clusters of these fortified farming villages would dot the land between Irontown and Farpoint, but leaving the areas around them and you suddenly plunge back into the untamed wilderness that is full of dangerous beasts. Even the villages aren't entirely safe, often raided by beasts or monsters.
I was also thinking of making a large part of the central population as Orcs. But not your common foaming at the mouth orc, but a cultured, peaceful race of Orcs that is trying to distance themselves from their 'cousins', where ever else they're found in the world. Sharing the brute strength with others of their race, but placing a higher value on wisdom and intelligence. While nearly as unpleasant to look at, they are at least polite, and generally as clean as any farmer is expected to be, and hold a skilled poet in as high of regard as a strong warrior.
Any suggestions to improve the idea? I think I'm going to go back and try a second version of my mapping now.
### Latest WIP ###
Hey Talroth,
I know what its like to run a little dry - you've seen me fuss over the Kalabar. I appreciate your postings. You have a great choice of land to work with. Your island pattern really looks like a river delta.
Reflecting population in a map is hard. Why do you think the regional maps end with a couple of little dots and a name or two?
What does Irontown produce and what is its income source? It backs up against the Red Hoof Forrest. Presumably full of Centaurs and Trees and ?
Is it just Iron from one mine?
Assuming undocumented "trade" can support some of the economy, are there specific tasks or industries Irontown could excel in?
What was the affect of the Groam silver boom on Irontown? Did the town miners and metal workers clear out to go and look for silver in Groam? Did they come back? Why?
Remember it's the Beastlands 'where people are scarce'.
- Irontown is on the coast of the worlds Ocean. They likely trade out to other countries rather than up into the Beastlands.
- Irontown, and its mines, could be a necessary resource for your far flung kingdom. Fortified against attack because it is in such a dangerous area.
- It would be a great place to start safaris into the Beastlands from.
- Perhaps its a city state, clinging to its independence on the frontier or the personal fief of a foreign noble escaping the taxes of his feudal obligation.
- Perhaps its run by dwarves, connoisseurs of metal and too damn stubborn to leave.
- Maybe its not a 'nice' place . It can be fun to map an evil den of polluting, slave killing, tyrannical psychopaths..... Perhaps they take their slaves from the Beastlands and work them to death in the mines. Then they cast their worn out bodies into the ocean. None of the other countries look too closely because their metal is always good and who wants to go to the Beastlands?
- Naval power and ship building could be very important to it. The forest could supply the trees and the mines the metals. Britain roamed most of America logging out white pine and other trees suitable for ship masts etc...
Any help? If there's anything you think I can do, or change\develop in Kalabar, let me know. Rav has been real accommodating too.
Sadly, I think I am bowing out of this for the month. If someone wants to take Irontown, feel free. If someone likes the general lay out I'll even send them the base GIMP or my current working Photoshop files. A few things came up, and I'm likely not going to have much time to work on this before the end of the month. I'll still help working on backstory and stuff for the region if anyone wants. (I'm finding lots of time sitting and doing nothing, just not near my PC)
I'm really sorry to hear it, Talroth. After the competition is over, I'll move the entry into the CWBP page so if someone wants to take it over, then they can. Even better, if you find more time, you could complete the map. Would you mind posting the photoshop files here?
Many thanks and hope you find the time to come back to us soon!

Who Are the Asatruar?
It's hard to stereotype us, except that we try to be true to the Aesir.
Reprinted with permission from "The Seeker Journal," December 2000.
There are many names for the kind of people I call "Asatru": Norse Pagan, Heathen, Odinist, the Troth, Theodish Belief, even "the religion of the Vikings." Some of us insist on one term and reject the others. In any case, we are the folk who are "true to the Aesir"--the literal meaning of Asatru. We worship the ancient Gods of the Germanic people of Northern Europe: Freya, Thor, Odin, Frigga, Balder, Hel, Sif.
We are not Wiccans. We believe in many Gods, not a God and a Goddess; we meet in Kindreds, Hearths, and Garths, not covens and circles. An Asatru priest is called a gothi; a priestess is a gythia--though in some groups, they may be called elders. We have a Bible--more than one actually. We use thePoetic Edda
, the Prose Edda, and the other ancient sources, such as theGermania of Tacitus
, to understand the true roots of our faith.
We tend to be more diverse in our opinions than the Wiccans. We have political conservatives and moderates as well as liberals, feminists, and those suspicious of feminism, gay people, and people worried about "the gay agenda." And many of us don't fit any political pattern--supporting both gun rights and gay rights, for example.
We don't trace the history of our religion back to Gerald Gardner. Our religion was revived in 1907 in Germany by the artist Ludwig Fahrenkrog. One of Fahrenkrog's followers, Dr. Ernst Wachler, built an outdoor theater, the Harzer Bergtheater, and produced plays on Germanic themes. During the Nazi era, Fahrenkrog was forbidden to hold public meetings, his group was forbidden to use their group's symbol, the swastika (which they had been using since before the Nazi movement came along), and Dr. Wachler, a man of Jewish ancestry, was sent to Auschwitz, where he died.
The German group died away in the years after the war (though it has since been revived). It was around 1971 that Asatru again sprang to life. Groups began to form independent of one another, in Iceland, England, and the United States. There are a number of Asatru groups in the U.S. today. TheAsatru Folk Assembly

Texas Tech defense, by the numbers
MORGANTOWN - It's fairly easy to make the argument that the Texas Tech defense that West Virginia faces this weekend is not all it's cracked up to be.
Dana Holgorsen would beg to differ.
"Oh, it's legitimate,'' Holgorsen said. "They know what they're doing and they do it well.''
Well, OK. The statistics would seem to bear that out.
In total defense, the Red Raiders are No. 2 in the country, allowing just 210 yards per game. Only No. 1 Alabama ranks higher.
In pass defense, Tech is even better. Giving up just 117.4 yards per game through the air is almost a silly statistic given the offenses of today. The Red Raiders have surrendered but four touchdown passes and 587 yards. Consider that Geno Smith threw for 490 yards and six touchdowns against Baylor. And then he went back out for the fourth quarter.
Texas Tech is also seventh nationally in pass efficiency defense, 12th against the rush and 22nd in points allowed.
So what's the knock on the Red Raiders' defense? Well, statistics are fine, but it's wise also to look at competition. Tech's first three games were against Northwestern State, Texas State and New Mexico. It's fourth was at offensively challenged Iowa State.
And then its fifth - and its first loss - was a 41-20 setback at home to Oklahoma, which had 259 passing yards (Tech gave up just 382 to its first four foes combined) and 121 on the ground. After giving up 43 points in four games, the Red Raiders gave up 41 in one.
In other words, while statistics never lie, they don't always tell the whole truth, either.
It's probably fair to say that Tech has not faced an offense as potent as the one it will face Saturday when No. 5 West Virginia (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) visits the Red Raiders (4-1, 1-1) in Lubbock. But that doesn't mean Tech can't play defense.
"They're not very tricky. They're very, very, very sound and they're never out of position and they're not very tricky,'' Holgorsen said. "They blitz eight percent of the time, so they're not a try-to-trick-you defense. They're not a gimmick defense. They're a sound, effort defense. They play hard and their guys are in position and they're technically sound.''
Truth be told, that's not something West Virginia's offense has seen much of this season. The Mountaineers rank among the top five teams in the country in passing, pass efficiency, total offense and scoring and have the leading early candidate for the Heisman Trophy in Smith. Because of that reputation, few teams have tried to simply line up and stop that offense.
Tech will do just that. The Red Raiders will still try to mix and disguise coverages and put pressure on Smith from different places, but that's not the main focus of the defensive game plan. Instead, those will be elements of a game plan that relies on good fundamental defense.
"That poses problems,'' Holgorsen said. "It poses problems when you don't know what they're going to do [as was the case in most of the first five games] and that aggravates you from a game-plan standpoint. Now we know what they're going to do from a game-plan standpoint, but it's just hard to execute against them.''
That's not typical for a Texas Tech defense. The Red Raiders for years have attempted to shore up things on that side of the ball with different schemes and coordinators. Not much worked. During much of the time that Tech has been known for its high-powered offenses - including the eight years Holgorsen was there as an assistant under Mike Leach - it was also either defensively average or inept. Only once in the past 10 years has Tech ranked higher than 45th in the nation in total defense. In each of the last two years the Red Raiders were No. 114 out of 120.
Holgorsen faced some of those bad defenses while he was working at Houston and Oklahoma State the three years before he came to West Virginia.
"The difference now [as opposed to] two or three years ago is now they're sound and they play hard,'' Holgorsen said. "When I was at Oklahoma State and went there they weren't sound and they didn't play hard.''
As a result, the last offense Holgorsen took to Lubbock - in 2010 at OSU - rolled up 581 yards.
This is a different defense, though, and in truth what Oklahoma did to that Texas Tech defense last week wasn't all that bad. Holding Oklahoma to "only'' 381 yards of total offense was 100 yards less than the Sooners' average. And while OU scored 41 points, two of the scoring drives were 25 and 32 yards (both ending in field goals) and one touchdown came on an intercepted pass.
The ultimate test, however, comes Saturday against a West Virginia offense that has yet to be held to what Texas Tech surrenders per game (210 yards) even by halftime (WVU is averaging 320 yards in its five first halves to date, with a low of 213 against Maryland).
Tech coach Tommy Tuberville knows that.
"This,'' Tuberville said, "is about as good as it gets.''

Finances are on my mind lately, with taxes and our recent hiccups with PlaySpan... and other news to be read about below. And they are no fun. But games are all about fun, so I think there should be a rule that game companies shouldn't have financials. I think that would work out just fine.
Before I go on, let me remind you all that my general goal has been make a sustainable average income, which I've set at the GP average (which evens out the money shoveling time they had with Christmas and Miku through their spiral downward). March was about 15% below average, which was a little disappointing because I felt it had the potential to hit average. Way better than Feb, though.
Royalties to Japan – off the top as always
Server Costs – 8% (not higher, just a higher % because sales were a little lower)
Paying back Setup/Startup costs – 0%
Basic Contractors 8%
New Development (paying for developers beyond the core Apocoplay team or development software) – ???%
Set aside for possible chargebacks – 10%
Taxes, fees, legal/financial expenses – 10%
So the first thing you might notice is that we're throwing a wrench at the old "New Development" plan, at least financially. As those of you who have worked on any kind of development (or any complicated project, really) you know that you hit 80-90% and then it takes a huge serge of resources to finish it off. Our old plan of spending what we had available each month on development wasn't able to push anything past that barrier. To put it simply, you run out of money - you stop - then you spend X amount of money to re-start... but then you run out again before you get through the barrier and must repeat the process again next month. The "big push" becomes kind of like leaning on a brick wall. We've got a lot of partially finished projects that are still really far from being usable or launch-able (like the chat, which we just put up anyway).
It's clear we're not making any further progress without chunks of cash spent all at once, and that means it's time for us to put our money where our mouth is -- spend into our savings, take out loans, whatever it takes. I have some ideas up my sleeve already. Many of you have suggested Kickstarter, and while that sounds great, 1) the game it self is kind of like an ongoing Kickstarter already, and 2) we don't really have enough to show to get Kickstarter interest. We'll likely do one when we have a demo of Alteil 2.0 ready.
Will keep everyone posted!

Brannon Braga
this wiki
|Brannon Braga
|Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: First Contact
|August 14, 1964
|Place of Birth:
|Bozeman, Montana, USA
Brannon Braga was a writer, producer and creator on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise.
Braga began working on Star Trek in 1990 as a writer/producer on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
As a writer/producer on The Next Generation, he was responsible for some popular episodes including the series finale "All Good Things...". For this episode he won the Hugo Award for excellence in science fiction writing, along with Ronald D. Moore. Braga also co-wrote the movies Star Trek: Generations (1994) and Star Trek: First Contact (1996). In all, he has written more than 100 Star Trek episodes.
Braga moved to Star Trek: Voyager as a producer, receiving a promotion to Co-Executive Producer in 1997 and a further promotion to Executive Producer in 1998 when Jeri Taylor retired.
After Star Trek: Deep Space Nine finished its run, Braga immediately hired his Next Generation writing partner Moore, but Moore resigned shortly afterwards citing creative differences with Braga and the other Voyager writers and criticizing the lack of emphasis on continuity.
In 1997, Braga began work on Star Trek: Enterprise as the series' co-creator with Rick Berman (leaving Kenneth Biller to take over the production of Voyager), and has since become Star Trek's "number two man" behind Berman. Braga and Berman were rumored to be working on the also rumored Star Trek XI, but Braga has since made it clear that his days with the Trek franchise are over.
During his time on Star Trek: Voyager he entered in to a relationship with Jeri Ryan which has since ended.
Braga was born August 14, 1965 in Bozeman, Montana and has frequently slipped references to his place of birth into episodes and films he has written (see USS Bozeman, Eli Hollander, Gallatin). He studied Theater Arts and Filmmaking at Kent State University and The University of California. He received the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Writing Internship in 1990.
His three main writing collaborators, in chronological order, were Ronald D. Moore, Joe Menosky, and Rick Berman, for TNG, VOY, and ENT, respectively.
Braga, along with Rick Berman, has received a wide array of criticism, mostly for the creative directions Voyager took, the supposed lack of originality on pre-Manny Coto Enterprise, and the apparent disrespect for canon in both series. However, many fans note the large number of episodes he wrote, several of which are frequently considered among the best of all Star Trek.

Leading you to an educated decision.
The intent of this test is to determine the ability of a fiber optic cable to mechanically and optically withstand, or recover from (or both), the effects of a slowly-applied compressive force. The following parameters may be measured or observed: the number of fibers broken during the compressive loading,
the changes in optical transmittance or attenuation during or after the loading, any change in the outer covering.

The footsteps leading from a youth treatment centre to a nearby road in Selkirk, was the first piece of evidence police had to work with in finding a Brandon teen, who's been missing since Dec. 2.
The teen's parents have tried their best to ignore what the rumour mills are churning out through social media, which have only proved to put salt on a heartbreaking wound.

Mango's 6% Savings Acount: Too Good to Be True?
Savers have taken it on the chin for years, with banks paying almost nothing on checking and savings accounts while charging big fees. So when a new financial website offered a 6% interest rate on an insured savings account, it got a lot of attention.

Grandmother paradox
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
It typically begins with the question "What is...", or "Do you remember...", or some variation thereof. Then, the subject will announce a single bit of information, which can, at any given time, relate to between anywhere from to possible events in your life. The subject will then continue to recall various recollections while prompting the victim to supply further information. The process continues until the story is completed.
A special devision of psychology (crackpot) has recently investigated this phenomenon and come to the conclusion that, during most cases, both victim and subject are trapped in a paradox. Predictably, they named this the grandmother paradox, because had they named it anything else, the title of this article would have been different.
When the Paradox is not a Paradox
The grandmother paradox does not occur when the subject and the person being questioned are both attempting to narrate a story. During these times, the Universe is safe from the Paradox[1] although probably not free from other such evils as slavery and taxes.
When the Paradox is PresentThe paradox can and will[2] appear if the subject is attempting to tell a story to the person whom she is questioning. It can be argued that the entire point of a story is to tell something new to the person who is listening. Yet if the storyteller in this situation depends heavily, if not completely, on the listener, how can the story, indeed, be a story?[3]
According to legend, the paradox was first discovered when an old grandmother was asked to be a witness to a horrendous crime. Instead of relaying her own account, she instead managed to end every sentence with a question mark and phrasing such as "that's right, isn't it?" The defendant, feeling sympathy for the old woman, filled in several details for her, and later realized he had just done himself in. Reportedly, the defendant's lawyer was so frustrated at this that he became a clown, because he figured it was another job that he could play dress-up in.
Hence the paradox can be summarized thusly: Why are you tellin' me this, grandma, if you don't even remember it?
Combating the Paradox
This Paradox, just as all other paradoxes, is very detrimental to the Universe's health. They are small, yet annoying, like paper cuts or Chihuahuas. So next time your grandmother wants to take a trip down Memory Lane, do the world a favor and stop her before she crashes into something. It won't be good for you or the Universe.

Theriot The New Jack Parkman
When I saw the Dodgers traded Ryan Theriot to the Cardinals I immediately thought of Jack Parkman, the superstar catcher for the Cleveland Indians in Major League II.
The strapping Parkman, and his patented butt-wiggle while digging into the batter's box, was the sensation of Cleveland's female fans. But the love affair ends after Parkman is dealt to the rival White Sox during the season.
And here now stands Theriot, the once wildly popular sex symbol of the Chicago Cubs, playing for the arch-rival Cards.
Can't wait for Pat Hughes to channel his inner Harry Doyle and point out that "the women in Chicago can't stand this guy!"

Undercover narcotics officers arrested three people and seized $45,000 worth of drugs Thursday.
Officers arrested Eric Vasquez, Bernardo Dizon and Melanie Sheldon at a home on Monica Drive near Jet Wing and Fountain.
Police say the operation involved four undercover buys. During those buys they seized enough marijuana to make more than 10,000 joints, 1,073 ecstasy pills, 30 grams of methamphetamine, 18 grams of psilocybin mushrooms and a .45 caliber assault weapon.
Neighbors say they don't know if drugs were ever sold out of the house, but they're glad it's no longer a possibility.
"The uncomfortable part about that is it can be happening anywhere, any of these houses, on these homes on this street and you just never know," said Marilyn Braswell.

Is it possible that the U.S. governments response to the 9/11 attacks has served al-Qaeda interests?

You're one step closer to paradise...
By: Neil Kopp
Learn to surf? Yeah right!
Most people don't know that my home state of Oregon harbors some of the best surfing on the West Coast, or so we Oregonians like to think, because we like to keep these gems in our back pockets for those rainy days, of which there are many. Having said that, my knowledge of the abundance of great white sharks and the frequency with which I watched the movie "JAWS" as a kid, has kept me out of the ocean. I can't even think of how many times I've gone to the beach and watched my friends tear up the surf from the shore, saying, "I'll never dangle my limbs off of a board in the ocean." Instead of the predictable onslaught of jokes about me being a wimp, I usually beat them to the jokes about my un-manliness. I am always willing to initiate a little self deprecating humor.
Of course all of this was before I visited Hawaii.
What I expected going into my trip is hard to recall, but I know that I had not bargained for the level of warmth, hospitality, and openness that I experienced at every turn. From the moment I walked in to Outrigger Waikiki's gorgeous, festive lobby, I knew that I was in for some good old fashioned R&R. I felt right at home and I hadn't even checked in yet.
My experience as a new guest began with the Outrigger canoe ride. As we paddled out from the beach of the hotel to the big rollers, my ego took a hit when we passed little kids and parents and grandparent waving at us as they surfed past. Immediately Ted, our canoe captain, whipped the boat around and we caught the biggest wave I've ever been around and it carried us in to shore at about 20 miles an hour over clear, turquoise water. I was hooked, but on what I wasn't quite sure.
It wasn't 10 minutes after we parked the canoe that Captain Ted had me convinced that the next ride would need to be on a surfboard. I signed up for a class with one of his staff members and soon we were in the water!
My instructor, Mike, couldn't have been better. His hospitality and easy-going nature really put me at ease. I didn't even think about those big scary fish from my childhood memories. His instruction was simple and effective and as we paddled out to those breakers our conversation was about how beautiful Diamond Head Crater looked from the water and the mystique that Waikiki continues to hold in people's imaginations. Once we reached our spot, we rested and waited in anticipation for the perfect wave. This was a familiar feeling. I grew up snowboarding and sitting on your board waiting for a wave feels a lot like when the chairlift is about to reach the summit.
Mike yelled for me to "paddle!" which I did, and the overwhelming force of the wave scooped me up and I stood and that was it. I was surfing! I rode the first wave for a few hundred yards before my momentum petered out and I tipped over. By the third or fourth wave, I was exhausted and barely had the strength to paddle back to shore for a rest. Mike told me I should rest, otherwise I'm pretty sure I would have kept going and going until I was putting myself in danger of never being able to paddle back to the beach. What a day and what a view!
When I reflect on my Hawaiian experience, that day on the waves is central to my understanding of Aloha, which I came to know as affection, love, peace, compassion, and mercy. Two hours later I was with friends sipping a cold Mai Tai's on the deck at Duke's overlooking Waikiki beach, feeling like the day's work was done as we watched the sun slip behind the horizon in an explosion of color. There's some Aloha in that too!

Brooklyn Limestone Blog
I have had Brooklyn Limestone in my FFF FOREVER! I've been watching, reading and drooling over her talent for a very long time. Her creative DIY home projects have me completely inspired, making lists, collecting ideas… Renovating this Limestone is a classic Cinderella story. Once you read their story, you'll understand why. Besides renovating, she will inspire you with her unique ways, her thrifty ways of decorating.
DIY Decor Ideas
Renovating the pantry can be simple as just painting the inside of the door with chalkboard paint. Seriously……is there anything cuter? Then if you really want to kick it up a notch, add a darling chandelier stenciled image.
This reminds me. I was going to order some of these prints a bit ago from a gal on Etsy. I must have seen something shiny. But now maybe I'll try it myself. Now on the lookout for old dictionary's. Loving how this looks. The perfect amount of charm, originality and COOLNESS!
You know you have my vote (if that's worth anything) if you have something out of the ordinary on your walls. I mean anyone can buy wall decor at their local department or furniture store…….and fall into the "I'll have what she's having" decorating mentality. Mrs. Limestone is a girl who loves to travel. She even sells some of her photographs she's taken from many of her trips. This DIY wall decor is not only original, but it reflects the dwellers passions and personality. They remind me a bit of my Sid Dickens Memory blocks. I love those.
Why purchase an expensive bed side table when you can just jazz up one with a bit of Silver Leaf and a sharpie. You can't over think these things…….she proves that by using a jar lid to form that scalloped corner. Can I tell you how much I love brilliant decorators like Mrs. Limestone……..these woman blaze the trail!
We all that spot in the home that piles up with mail, papers, etc… And if you don't, then you're just not normal. True. 🙂
She searched high and low for the perfect small table, worked her magic one it and even cut off the back end. Using a few empty frames and some metal decorative grating, she created the most stylish DIY mail center.
I've said it many times before….Do we EVER get tired of a good Silhouette? She needed a dramatic wall piece to go above their bed. Why not a whimsical approach to the traditional silhouette? I believe she has since changed this wall, but I loved the way this looks and thought it was worth passing on to you.
Antique silverware is once again a sought after medium for decorating. I don't have it listed here, but you can see an amazing holiday wreath she made using a few spoons. These stamped fork napkin rings can be used year round.
She has a full tutorial showing you step by step on how she made these. You can pound away your frustrations. And there's that sharpie again. Who knew we'd need a sharpie for so many DIY projects?
In her spare time, she dabbles in a little graphic design. Invitations, announcements, menu's, etc….She helped her husband……actually I think her husband helped her…….with some bachelor party invites for a friend of his. Can you just imagine opening up a cool invite like this?
The best part? They don't look horribly confusing or hard to make. I think these could also make great trophies for a baseball team……too bad my son doesn't play anymore. But maybe something like this for soccer? Hmmmm.
I hope you'll head over to Mrs. Limestone's blog and pay her a visit. I know she would LOVE a comment. Wouldn't you? It makes me so happy when my featured bloggers tell me what great readers I have and the nice comments they receive.
I think you'll LOVE these posts too.

Education is the focus for Vol State Hispanic Family Night
Submitted on January 30, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Education is important, but going through the college application process can be complicated. Volunteer State Community College has an event that can help. Hispanic Family Night will have information about everything from English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes to college level courses and degree programs. Admissions, Financial Aid and Advising help will be available.
"Hispanic Family Night really is for the whole family," said Eric Melcher, Communications Coordinator at Vol State. "Many adults are interested in English classes or returning to school, and teenagers are just getting ready for college. We'll have counselors who can speak to people in Spanish and English to better answer any questions they might have."
Refreshments will be served. There will also be movies and fun to keep children entertained, so parents and high school students can have time to ask questions. Everyone is invited to attend. The Hispanic Family Night will run from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and people can stop by whenever it's convenient. It will be held on Thursday, February 23 at the Wood Campus Center on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. It is free and open to everyone. For more information call 615-230-3570 or in Spanish 615-230-4846.

Category:OWASP Honeycomb Project
In the Honeycomb project, OWASP is assembling the most comprehensive and integrated guide ever attempted to the fundamental building blocks of application security (principles, threats, attacks, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures) through collaborative community efforts. You can view the OWASP Honeycomb Project Roadmap to find out what is being worked on and how you can help.
What we are trying to accomplish?
Our basic assumption is that we will never be able to make progress in application security without some basic building blocks. We've identified principles, threats, vulnerabilities, attacks, and countermeasures as the fundamentals to most application security activities. So we've set out to capture all the common names used in these areas, gather as much information as we can about each, and interlink them in a meaningful way.
The difficulties in organizing this information
Most efforts to organization application security information attempt to force the information into a one-dimensional taxonomy of one sort or another. These efforts (including the OWASP Top Ten) have failed to adequately make the information useful.
The approach we've taken
We've decided to apply the 'folksonomy' approach popularized recently to organize information with many complex relationships. So each of the major types of building blocks has its own 'tag' (called a 'category' in MediaWiki). This organizes the basic types of articles. Then within each article, we have references to other related articles, so that it is possible to explore the information set.
Why the name Honeycomb?
We are trying to use a distributed, self-organizing approach to create something beyond any of the individuals involved. We admire many of the characteristics of the honeycomb and hope that we can produce something useful.
How to use the information?
We're not sure all the ways that this information might be used. But we're sure that knowing how all the pieces fit together will help.
- Architects may want to use this information when threat modeling their applications. You'll want to identify combinations of threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities that apply to your system. Then you should select appropriate countermeasures and use the principles to help guide design decisions.
- Deveopers may want to use this information to learn about different vulnerabilities and to select coding guidelines for their project.
- Security researchers may want to use this framework to organize their thinking about security and help to ensure completeness.
How to add an article into Honeycomb Project?
Volunteers Needed
Our current tactical goals are:
- Fill in the contents of the stub honeycomb articles (those marked with {{Template:Stub}})
- Refine the contents and structure of the honeycomb articles
- Eliminate redundancy in the articles and categories
The following tasks are ready for volunteers:
- Merge "Buffer overflow", "Buffer Overflow" and related redundant articles
- Merge "Cross Site Scripting" and "Cross-site_scripting"
- Merge "SQL Injection" and "SQL injection"
To find out more about what you can help, please go to OWASP Honeycomb Project Roadmap.

Boar-Masked Anbu Member

|editBoar-Masked Anbu Member
|Volume #7, Naruto Chapter #57
|Naruto Episode #30
|Hidden Leaf Village Grand Sports Festival!
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga
|Voice Actors
|Ninja Rank
He is an ANBU captain from Konohagakure.
He is dressed in a white cloak and black trousers with bandages tied around his right leg and black sandals. He also has brown hair tied into a short ponytail, and wears a mask with a boar motif inclusive of three markings at the top and bottom of it along with markings around the mouth and eye-holes. In Part I, he wore the standard ANBU attire and wore a sword strapped to his back.
He makes use of large scale Earth Release techniques to trap enemies by causing a large amount of mud to fall on the opponent that can be shaped and heated by another ANBU member or summon a large boar-shaped lid that can be dropped on enemies. He was seen using the Temporary Paralysis Technique while also probably being proficient in kenjutsu.
Part I
Chūnin Exam Arc
During the chūnin exams, he and one of his comrades went to retrieve Anko Mitarashi in the Forest of Death. After seeing that her cursed seal had resurfaced and hearing that she had encountered Orochimaru, he told her that martial law was to be implemented whenever he was spotted and as such the exams should not continue any farther.
After carrying her back to the tower in the middle of the forest, their attentions are drawn to a video by Iwashi. They then discuss the progress of the Sand Siblings to the tower, who are unscathed.
Part II
Invasion of Pain Arc
During Pain's invasion this ANBU captain worked in a three man team with two other ANBU captains in order to battle Pain's Giant Multi-Headed Dog summon. This battle is expanded on in the anime as they use their "Formation B" in order to halt the beast's advance and allow Shizune's group time to escape.

In airplanes, black boxes act as after-the-fact reporters of exactly what happened in an accident. The Camscura Pro Hidden Camera works the same way; it shows you exactly what went on in your home or office when you weren't around. With an incomparable 36 hours of battery life on a single charge, six months of standby time and adjustable video resolution up to 1280 x 720 pixels, this motion-activated marvel is sure to give you the evidence you need to catch a thief, or to make sure your child or elderly relative is getting the care and respect they deserve.

Set this black box camera to begin recording when it detects motion, body heat, vibration or sound (does not record audio, per US federal regulations). Or select custom start/stop times when you know there will be activity in the room. Automatic day/night modes and a 90-degree field of view ensure that you'll always get the best shot. Record all of your footage to an SD card (up to 64GB, not included) for easy review on any Mac or PC.
