GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Spending the holidays in the Mesa County Detention Facility means there's no time to spend with loved ones or friends, only time for reflection and quiet.
There are, however, a few concessions made for inmates over Christmas.
"Inmates get a hot turkey meal for Christmas Day and then a sack lunch for dinner with a soda pop," Mesa County Sheriff's Office Spokeswoman Heather Benjamin said. "This is better than their usual meals, so they like that. And, our jail volunteers put together small goodie bags that each inmates gets, with items like a hot cocoa packet, a hot apple cider packet, a granola bar, etc. Little things like that."
"Otherwise, it is a routine day in the jail," Benjamin added.
While inmates are afforded Bible studies on a regular basis, Captain Steve Farlow, the jail division commander, said there's no Christmas Eve or Day church services of any kind.
Plus, Benjamin said: "No presents are allowed and (there are) no visits on Christmas, as we are closed to the public."
An increase in mail is experienced in the week before and during Christmas, Benjamin noted.
Ray Petersen, who's worked as a religious volunteer in the Mesa County Detention Facility for almost 30 years, said holiday gift cards are acquired for inmates to send to family and friends.
"We sell them just for shipping and handling costs to chaplains of jails and prisons," Petersen said. "We got the cards from (American Rehabilitation Ministry Services) and they're handed out to inmates so they can send out some Christmas cards."
Petersen said he teaches Bible-study classes for Mesa County's inmates, and around this time of the year he focuses on the "real meaning of Christmas."
"When we do these things, we get lots of thank-yous," Petersen said. "Sitting in jail is pretty boring."

Heavy dose of Marshall bails out Bears' offense

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Bears quarterback Jay Cutler struggled with a simple question last week: Can you throw too much to a No. 1 receiver as good as Brandon Marshall?
On Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cutler provided the definitive answer without saying a word: No, you cannot.
With the Bears' offense out of sync in the first half, Cutler found a rhythm with a progression that seemed to be as simple as 1-2-3: Marshall, Marshall and Marshall.
Targeted 17 times by Cutler, including 10 times in the second half, Marshall carried the Bears' offense with 12 receptions for 144 yards and a 24-yard touchdown as the Bears turned a 3-3 game at halftime into a 41-3 rout at EverBank Field.
It was Marshall's second consecutive 100-yard receiving game. He had seven receptions for 138 yards and a 31-yard touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. But it's the first time Marshall has had back-to-back 100-yard games in victories since Weeks 2-3 in 2008, when he and Cutler were with the Denver Broncos.
''You know what? They brought me here to be a No. 1 receiver, but in our offense we have the ability to game-plan around different guys,'' Marshall said. ''It could be Matt [Forte], [Michael] Bush, Alshon [Jeffery]. When teams want to take me out, we have the guys who can step up.''
It wasn't quite like that against the Jaguars. Last week Marshall caught seven passes when he was targeted eight times. This time it took 17 attempts, as if Cutler knew he needed the big guy to get the Bears out of the hole.
''That's why we brought him here — to be that guy,'' Cutler said. ''Whenever he gets one-on-one, we expect him to win 100 percent of the time, hands down. If he comes to the sideline and says, 'I just didn't win,' I say, 'Why not?' He's that guy, and he's living up to it.''
Marshall, though, had a tough first half. Cutler's first pass to him was intercepted by Jaguars cornerback Derek Cox. Marshall had four catches for 44 yards at halftime.

Anton is a recent graduate designer from Brooklyn NY. His treatment of type is really cool, it's abstract and layered and it gives his designs an urban feel. His use of colour is striking and creates some really nice contrast. Finally, I really love the textures, I think it gives his designs depth and feeling.

The occasional Monarch has already been recorded as well!
For all the space junkies and aspiring astronauts, the ROM is holding its first ever Space Weekend on May 5 and 6…it's going to be out of this world!
Spring has sprung at the ROM, and as the season suggests, there are plenty of new things popping up around the Museum.
I feel like my whole life has been leading up to THIS moment.
Sunday April 22 is Earth Day, but we're celebrating Mother Earth all weekend! We're super excited to welcome Barbara Reid, the popular children's author and plasticine artist extraordinaire, as a special guest this weekend. She is leading workshops for kids, teaching families how to make their own plasticine art (Saturday and Sunday at 11:30 am and 2 pm). She will also be signing her new book Picture a Tree and you can see a display of some of Ms.
Earth Weekend is coming fast, and we couldn't be more excited! The interactive workshop with Barbara Reid will be amazing, but the Hands-on team from the Keenan Family Gallery of Hands-on Biodiversity is also preparing many more fun and interactive events for the second floor.

Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. - A Virginia man who strangled two inmates and vowed to continue killing unless he was given the death penalty was scheduled to be executed Wednesday night, denied a stay by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Robert Gleason Jr., 42, was scheduled to be put to death by electrocution at 9 p.m. at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt. He was the first condemned inmate facing execution in the U.S. this year and the first since 2010 to choose to die by electrocution. Virginia is one of nine states where inmates get a choice between electrocution and lethal injection.
Gleason's former attorneys had argued Gleason was not competent to forego his appeals and that his mental state has deteriorated further during the year he's spent in solitary confinement on death row. They had asked to be appointed to his case to order a new competency evaluation, even though two others have proved he was capable of making decisions in his case.
Gleason, however, has fought against their attempts, pointing to two separate mental health evaluations
Gleason told The Associated Press he deserved to die for what he's done.
"The death part don't bother me. This has been a long time coming," he said in one of many telephone interviews. "It's called karma."
Gleason was serving life in prison for another slaying when he killed his cellmate, Harvey Watson Jr., in May 2009. He told The AP then that he would continue killing unless given the death penalty. He reiterated those threats in court.
After being transferred to Red Onion State Prison, the state's only all- segregation prison, Gleason strangled 26-year-old Aaron Cooper in an adjoining, individual outdoor recreation cage in July 2010. As officers tried to resuscitate Cooper _ who video surveillance shows had been choked on and off for nearly an hour _ Gleason told them "you're going to have to pump a lot harder than that."
Cooper's mother, Kim Strickland, has sued the prison system.
"May God have mercy on his soul," Strickland said of Gleason. "I've been praying and will continue to pray that his family can heal from this ordeal."
Despite Gleason's crimes and his insistence on being put to death, "the state should not kill its own citizens under any circumstances," said Virginians For Alternatives to the Death Penalty Executive Director Stephen Northup. Northrup said Gleason's threats to continue killing should not be enough to justify his execution.
"Our Department of Corrections has the ability to keep someone who is truly dangerous like Mr. Gleason in solitary confinement with no access to another human being," Northrup said. "...We have the ability to keep everyone else safe from truly dangerous people without killing them."
The group organized vigils across the state and expected a handful of protesters outside the prison at the execution hour.
Use of the electric chair remains rare in Virginia. Since inmates were given the option in 1995, only six of the 85 executed since then have chosen electrocution over lethal injection.

Jeep Grand Cherokee bests Toyota 4Runner in latest Consumer Reports testing
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Nov 24th, 2010 at 11:00AM
Consumer Reports, bastions of a straightforward, no-frills automotive testing regime focused on the consumer, compares in its December 2010 issue the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 2010 Toyota 4Runner, both of which were completely redesigned within the last several months. Interestingly – and despite the fact that the Jeep has not yet had enough time to set a reliability score – the testers at CR have seen enough from the Grand Cherokee to vault it over its rival from Toyota, which scored too low to recommend. The magazine praises the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee for its... Read More

Comments about Cliff Keen Athletic Cliff Keen Twister Headgear:
Been training BJJ for several years and never had an ear problem until the other day. My right ear got a little sore so I quickly ordered this headgear. I will admit that I was not looking forward to wearing headgear but it was better than the alternative. I have been wearing it now for several practices and I am very pleased with it. This is comfortable and once you get use to it, you do not even notice its on. The protection is great and keeps your ears safe. If you looking for comfortable protection then this would be a great buy for you. I highly recommend these
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

'The Replacer' Returns, with JB Smoove in Tow, in New 'Black Ops II' Clip
Nearly three months after 72andSunny introduced us to "The Replacer"–aka Fargo baddie Peter Stormare–in its campaign for Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops II – Revolution trailer, the agency has brought back the character, now with sidekick JB Smoove in tow, for its Black Ops II – Uprising promo. Jesus, how many entries are in this franchise? Anyhow, the newly formed dynamic duo embarks on several replacing adventures from serving as weatherman to fixing cable, with Stormare being his usual, somewhat menacing self and Smoove giving us the fast-talking delivery that we first came to know and love in Curb Your Enthusiasm.
We're not sure what the budget is here, but as the Black Ops franchise expands, so do seem the timeframe and scope of the clips promoting it. But, if you have the patience for it (it is lunchtime on the East Coast, after all), don't let us stop you from taking in this slightly entertaining, slightly grating clip. Credits after the jump.

Just purchased a house, want to decorate it , but can not find the suitable people. I have always liked the simple decor, Reference to a lot of works.Also consulted the relevant personnel, here is my favorite set of decor, can someone give me some advice?
Pic from: home design
Only upload one picture ?
All i can say you choose a pretty good design but look expensive at all.
Being creative in your decor is also a great way to show off your personality. Paint the walls and give them a contemporary or rustic look, as per your choice. You can do it yourself, if you are not getting any professionals for that.
You can add additional posts to this thread to add more pictures. Is this your home or a home that is decorated in the style you like?
I'm not a decorator and I don't have a TV show to play one. I've heard you should look at decorating magazines and pull out pictures of things you like. Stuff these into a file and when you have a bunch take this to the decorator you want to work with. The various pictures will give them a sense of what you like to give them some idea of what direction to go towards.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Those design are nice too me and if you want you home like that for sure you need to spend lots of money.Lately i am also having some renovation on my house in Finland and i spend lots of money from new furniture to new design of room for having a parquet or parketti and i can't wait to new look of my room.
Look for stuff you already have and repurpose it. Or, check out firstname.lastname@example.com for cool and unusual products to get for your home!

Tripping: Lauren Conrad Shares Her Tips for Packing Beauty Essentials
Packing up your beauty essentials and toiletries for a trip is truly a science. Let's be honest here—who hasn't had a lotion explode on them at least once? Today, I am going to share my best beauty packing tips and spotlight three of my favorite travel kits from my XO(eco) collection of sustainable travel cases for BlueAvocado.
Pro Packing Tips
1. Pre-organize. Compartmentalize your goods by separating types of makeup, toiletries, and hair accessories into different cases and baggies. This will make navigating your bag much easier!
2. Separate liquids. Take all liquid products and put them into a reusable plastic baggie. That way if something spills, it won't get everything in your suitcase.
3. Protect your powder compacts. To ensure powder compacts arrive in one piece, put them into a baggie with beauty sponges placed on either side, or wrap them up with a few tissues to help absorb the shock of being tossed around when traveling.
4. Beware of loose brushes. Pack your beauty brushes into a separate plastic bag. The reusable baggies from my XO(eco) collection are big enough for brushes to lay flat and vertically, so they don't get bent or damaged during transit.
5. Snuggle up! If you can, it's best to pack your cosmetic cases in your carry-on. However, if you can't stash them there, be sure to sandwich your beauty bags between washable items, like socks and pajamas, just in case you have some spillage.
Do you have any tried and true tips when it comes to packing your beauty essentials? Share them below!
XO Lauren
For toiletries...
I use my XO(eco) Beauty Kit to stow my deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, tweezers, hair goodies, sunscreen, soaps, etc. I love this case because it folds up flat, which is ideal for packing.
For makeup...
For my curling or flat iron...
I rely on my XO(eco) Hot Iron Cover. I don't know what I'd do without it. It's great because I can use my curling iron right before heading out the door, then pack it right up without worrying that it'll damage the other items in my suitcase. If you're a gal on the go, this is a must.

Japan, Wary of North Korea, Works to Secure Infrastructure After Sony Attack
Officials said, Japan, fearing it could be a soft target for possible North Korean cyberattacks in the escalating row over the Sony Pictures hack, has begun working to ensure basic infrastructure is safe and to formulate its diplomatic response. The hacking of the U.S. unit of Tokyo-based Sony Corp has been seen in Japan largely as an American problem, but the officials said the government is now moving actively to confront the issue after President Barack Obama blamed North Korea and vowed to respond "in a place and time and manner that we choose."

As U.S. Troops Return to Iraq, More Private Contractors Follow
A senior U.S. official said, the U.S. government is preparing to boost the number of private contractors in Iraq as part of President Barack Obama's growing effort to beat back Islamic State militants threatening the Baghdad government. The official said, how many contractors will deploy to Iraq - beyond the roughly 1,800 now working there for the U.S. State Department - will depend in part on how widely dispersed U.S. troops advising Iraqi security forces are, and how far they are from U.S. diplomatic facilities.

Name: Liz Calder Birthdate/Place: January 20, 1938, London Publisher Associated With: Bloomsbury Claim to Fame: While she began her literary career at Cape, Liz Calder felt bigger things calling by the mid-1980s. She cofounded Bloomsbury, which remains one of the most successful independent publishing houses. And this remarkable woman seems to have quite the Midas touch when it comes to literature: she picked up the Harry Potter series, as well as edited Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children (1981), Anita Brookner's Hotel du Lac (1984), Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient (1992) and Margaret Atwood's The Blind […]
Celebrity Bookshelves
Diane Keaton
First up is Diane Keaton's book room with a wrap-around bookshelf that makes me swoon. She seems to have pieces of art and vases tucked among the books as well, because my girl Keaton is a classy lady.
Karl Lagerfeld
This may be the most envy-inducing home library I've ever seen. Karl Lagerfeld used his style and design sense to create a perfect and beautiful book space - and it even has a winding staircase! This is my dream room.
Frank Sinatra
I love the mish-mash of books on Frank Sinatra's shelves. While I'm a stickler for alphabetizing and coordinating my own books, it doesn't seem Ol' Blue Eyes cares that much about any fancy organization when it comes to his library.
Julia Child
Julia Child's home library looked so welcoming and cozy, like the chef herself. I'd love to sit in front of that fireplace and go through the varieties of books she must have had on those shelves.
Keith Richards
I'm very curious what kinds of books Keith Richards must have in this library. A lot of them kind of look like text books or encyclopedias, but they seem to work for him.
Ralph Lauren
"Sleek" is the word that comes to mind when I see this image of Ralph Lauren's library in his Manhattan home. "Prone to stains" is another thing that comes to mind when I look at all that white furniture. Nonetheless, with those windows and that natural lighting, I'd love to sit and read here for hours.
Woody Allen
I'm a big Woody Allen fan so I can only imagine what kind of great pieces he must have in his library. It looks very traditional and masculine but I like that the room itself seems to have a personality."

Arahant monks, upon death, are either preserved/mummified or cremated. I haven't heard of any to be buried, although I would like to hear about any relevant accounts of that as well if there are some to discuss.
There are bodies of monks who have passed away on display in Thailand that have not decomposed. Many are said to be miraculously not decomposing, but is that the case with all of them or are some of them are acutally processed for preservation? Is it that an arahant has transcended certain natural phenomenon?
Then there is the matter of what remains after cremation. Oftentimes there are pellets and some other solid matter left behind which are then kept as relics. What exactly are these pellets, and how is what remains after the cremation of an arahant different from anyone else? When a non-arahant is cremated, is this matter not left behind? Is it only ashes and dust that remain? It has also been said that some bodies would not burn until certain conditions were met and things of that nature.
There is also a belief and practice regarding conjuring up relics. There are accounts of people praying for and receiving relics. Are these of the Buddha, Arahants, or whom? Also, what are they, bones?
Background information would be appreciated as well. Generally, what are the beliefs and practices behind relics? Specific examples, well-known or otherwise, would also be appreciated.

What is the one dream you've always had but were too afraid to try? If you knew you couldn't fail what would you do? These exact questions were posed to Elizabeth Chan only a few years ago and little did she know it would be the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would change her life forever.
With little more than "A Christmas Song" in her heart Elizabeth quit her career as a successful media executive and all the safety behind to start over her life as a songwriter. Under the watchful eyes of Morgan Spurlock's The Failure Club a documentary series viewed by millions on Yahoo! Screen.
Fast forward to today, Elizabeth is one of the preeminent Christmas artist/composer of our generation, affectionately known as the "Queen of Christmas."

Workout To Lose Weight Fast
The most important thing with exercise is that you do it! Any bit of exercise is helpful. Park your car at the end of the parking lot. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk your dog often -it's good for both of you and he'll love you for it! But, for the fastest way to lose weight, mix your exercises up with speed intervals when you work out. You don't need to work out for hours to get fast results. Step up your intensity and you'll burn the same number of calories or more in less time. People who incorporate sprints into their cardio workouts lose three times as much body fat!
Bursts of speed may stimulate a fat-burning response within the muscle. Whether you jog, bike or row, ramp things up to rev up your burn. You can start by doing 3-10 second all-out sprints with 10 seconds of a slower pace in between. Work your way up until you can do 30 minutes. A great place to get a sprint cardio work out is the track. Walk at least once around the track to warm up, then sprint hard for 200 meters, and walk for 200 meters, and repeat at least 8 times. Follow up with good old-fashioned callisthenics: push-ups, lunges, step-ups and sit-ups. You will see results in record time.
Strength Training. Whats the fastest way to lose inches? Slow down your strength training. Count to three when you lower the weight down to the start position. Slowing repetitions down increases the breakdown of muscle tissue. The repair of the muscle's breakdown pumps up your metabolism for as long as 72 hours after your session. Use weights that challenge you -especially near the end of the reps. Many times, even if the scale remains the same, your measurements will be smaller when you incorporate weights into your workouts. You will also burn fat much quicker because your muscles will be burning the fat hours after you are finished working out! Now that makes it all worth it!
Omega oils. Fish-oil supplements increases the activity of your fat-burning enzymes. You need at least 800 milligrams of the fatty acid EPA and 200 milligrams of the fatty acid DHA per capsule. Take 2 of these capsules 2 hours before you work out to get the most of your workout for the fastest way to lose weight.

Fantasy Abstract Art
Myths, fantasies and magic don't just exist in our imagination, but in abstract art as well. When these fantasies are translated to abstract art, then it is known as fantasy abstract art. This is a well known form of art that depicts all kinds of stories, magical legends, myths and dreams. Artists depict their own versions of fairy tales, fantastic beasts, Gods and much more in fantasy abstract art. Most of these art works are inspired from legends and myths across the world. Folklore from China, traditions of Africa and legends of Greece are some of the well known themes used by the artists in this genre. Needless to say, this form of art is entirely dependent on the artist's mind, dreams and imagination. Moreover, the interpretation of such works of art is mainly dependent on the imagination of the viewer or to put it more appropriately "fantasy lies in the eyes of the beholder".
Fantasy abstracts are generally painted on canvas using oil paints. This makes the work look more realistic and attractive. In the 16th century, Heironymous Bosch, a well known Dutch artist was instrumental in making fantasy art popular. As years passed by and man discovered photography, art gained new and versatile forms. Artists began departing from the conventional genre making way for expressionism, cubism and abstract art. Mystical forms were imbibed with new forms of art. This lead to the birth of surrealism.
These days apart from the traditional demons, angels and other forms of fantasy drawings, newer versions of fantasy abstract art are being developed. These include aliens, fairies, dark beings, vampires and characters from sci-fi stories. This form of abstract art is perhaps one of the most loved genres and is slowly finding popularity with the masses probably due to the air of mystery that surrounds them.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western New York District recovered one of the highest amounts of money in its history this year.
The office recovered more than $53 million with almost $11 million returned to victims of crime. That's in comparison to about $900,000 the previous year.
"The last couple of years, the Department of Justice has really seen the effort and the strategy to use that money to return it back to the victims of the crimes that were forfeiting the monies from. So what we've done, if you look at our stats from the previous couple of years, every year we go up a little," said Richard Kaufman, U.S. Attorney's Office.
Hochul says the money also is being put back in to law enforcement, community groups and programs.

Stocks fell on both sides of the Atlantic as investors worried that like the bailout of Cyprus's banks, aid to other euro-zone financial institutions could involve losses for depositors and senior bondholders.
Under the terms of the bailout, Cyprus will receive €10 billion, or about $13 billion, in bailout funds for its banks. Cyprus Popular Bank, the country's largest bank, will be shut down, while the largest, Bank of Cyprus, will be reduced in size. The deal imposes losses on depositors with more than €100,000 in their accounts, while those with less money will be exempt.
"There was a sigh of relief this morning following the Cyprus deal, but now there has been a lot of criticism leveled at this deal. It highlights many of the old flaws in the euro zone, and it doesn't bode well for future resolutions," said Peter Dixon, strategist at Commerzbank in London.
"They had to tap into deposits, which is not a good thing," he added.
Cyprus secured a bailout from its international creditors early Monday, ending a week of financial panic that threatened to see the small island nation become the first government to leave the euro zone. Gabriele Steinhauser reports. Photo: Reuters
The U.S. market and Europe's biggest stock indexes rose initially, but then fell after Jeroen Dijsselbloem, head of the group of euro-zone finance ministers that negotiated the deal with Cyprus, said the bailout could serve as a template to resolve any future problems with the region's banks.
In a joint interview with Reuters and the Financial Times, Mr. Dijsselbloem appeared to move away from his previous stance on the bailout, saying that the losses suffered by uninsured depositors as part of Cyprus's bailout deal may have to be repeated elsewhere.
"If there is a risk in a bank, our first question should be 'Okay, what are you in the bank going to do about that? What can you do to recapitalize yourself?' If the bank can't do it, then we'll talk to the shareholders and the bondholders, we'll ask them to contribute in recapitalizing the bank, and if necessary the uninsured deposit holders," Mr. Dijsselbloem said.
The remarks appeared to be a shift from comments Mr. Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister, made Thursday, when he said that Cyprus was a special case.
Mr. Dijsselbloem's spokeswoman said later the comments weren't intended to indicate the Cypriot bank deal would be a model for the future.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 64.28 points, or 0.4%, to 14447.75, while the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index slid 5.2 points, or 0.3%, to 1551.69. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 9.7 points, or 0.3%, to 3235.30.
The benchmark Europe Stoxx 600 index ended down 0.3% at 293.25, London's FTSE 100 ended 0.2% lower at 6378.38, Germany's DAX closed down 0.5% at 7870.90 and France's CAC-40 fell 1.1% to 3727.98.
Indexes in countries outside Europe's core suffered the heaviest losses. Italy's FTSE Mib fell 2.5% and Spain's IBEX 35 was off 2.3% as investors worried that Cyprus's problems could affect those countries. Greece's stock market was closed for a public holiday.
