Nevada Supreme Court Overturns Traffic Stop From Questionable Cop
First of three questionable traffic stops by troubled Nevada highway patrolman overturned by state supreme court.
The Nevada Supreme Court on Wednesday threw out a traffic stop performed by a state trooper caught lying in a job application in a way that "would have been enough to result in his termination." The justices unanimously ruled that Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Richard Pickers was in the wrong on November 1, 2009 when he searched Kent J. Beckman's car without a warrant.
That morning, Trooper Pickers accused Beckman of driving 72 MPH in a 65 MPH zone on Interstate 80. As he ran a check on Beckman's license and registration, Trooper Pickers told his partner that he suspected criminal activity because there were fingerprints on the trunk of Beckman's car. He asked for a drug dog to be sent out. After the papers turned out to be in order, Trooper Pickers returned them and handed Beckman a warning.
"Everything checks good," Trooper Pickers said. "Be careful, it's a long drive."
Before Beckman could leave, however, Trooper Pickers asked him whether he could search his vehicle. Beckman refused, so he was told he was no longer free to leave and that he would have to wait for the drug dog to arrive. The dog alerted and a search of the vehicle turned up cocaine and methamphetamine. This evidence was found to be unlawfully obtained after the justices found Trooper Pickering unlawfully extended the duration of the initial traffic stop based based on a flimsy pretense.
"The totality of the circumstances here would not cause a prudent person to have an honest or strong suspicion that Beckman had committed a crime," Chief Justice Kristina Pickering wrote for the court. "Although criminals may frequently check contraband in their trunks, many law-abiding citizens also routinely utilize their trunks for non-suspect reasons, such as hauling groceries (or in Beckman's case, wine)."
Because of the intrusive nature of the search, the court said it was appropriate to suppress the evidence from the extended seizure.
"For these reasons we conclude as a matter of law that Trooper Pickers unreasonably seized Beckman's person in violation of the United States and Nevada Constitutions before the canine sniff and warrantless search ever occurred," Justice Pickering wrote. "The government cannot benefit from evidence that officers obtained through a clear violation of an individual's Fourth Amendment rights."
The court noted other questionable drug dog searches involving Trooper Pickers are pending before the court. Jethro Lloyd's car was searched without a warrant, even though it was parked and, according to a district court ruling, there were no exigent circumstances. Ryan Tucker is also appealing after Trooper Pickers stopped him for speeding and performed a warrantless search. Both cases remain pending before the high court.

Given the profound dishonesty of this officer the question is: did the drug was planted by this cop?

CFPB REQUEST FOR COMMENT: Financial Civil Penalty Fund Rule
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires the establishment of a Consumer Financial Civil Penalty Fund. The CFPB proposed a rule and request for comment that lays out procedures for allocating funds the CFPB must deposit from any civil penalty it obtains against any person in any judicial or administrative action under federal consumer financial laws. Under the act, funds in the Civil Penalty Fund may be used for payments to victims of activities for which civil penalties have been imposed under federal consumer financial laws. In addition, to the extent that victims cannot be located or payments are otherwise not practicable, the CFPB may use the funds in the Civil Penalty Fund for the purpose of consumer education and financial literacy programs. A copy of the proposal and request for comment can be found here.

Summary: Buffy dives into the Portal, but doesn't fall through to the ground…on Earth, anyway.
4 Dec 09
21 Mar 11
Moving Out...land
A/N- Sorry for the delay, but life has a way of sneaking up and sapping you...making you zone out for frikkin EVER! So OP...ok, I hate rogues, not important, MOVING ON! I am back to writing. I have several stories I plan on updating over the next few days. As for this one, I jumped about 40 levels. Come on...those of you who play WoW, did you REALLY want me to drag you through the 30-60 grind? I personally HATED that stretch of leveling. So I am jumping them right up to 60. Enjoy, and please review.
Buffy ducked under the swing of the skeletal attacker and spun, swinging her axe in a high spin and cleaving the blade across the skeleton and into the side of the one next to it. They both fell over, the bodies now to damaged for the eldrich powers animating them to sustain.
Xander saw the wounds she recieved and cast a quick spell, reinvigorating her and healing her wounds. "You ok there, Buff?" he asked.
Buffy just smiled. "Peachy with a side of keen." she said. "How is Peridar?"
Peridar turned, staring at Buffy and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry that he let those two by him." he said, sheathing his sword. "Are you alright?"
Buffy nodded. "Yep."
"I'm fine as well, thank you for asking." a hollow, otherworldly voice cut into the conversation. The group turned and saw Selvalersi walking down the hallway.
Xander quickly began casting a powerful healing spell, watching as the great wounds in his companion closed and her flesh knitted before his eyes. "Wow, Selv. Sorry." he said quickly.
Selvalersi merely shrugged. "I am quite capable of handling two paltry skeletons." she said, shaking her head at the holes now marring her robes. "Did you forget something, Peridar?" she asked.
Peridar's brow knitted in thought.
"A small spell, usually cast by a Paladin at the beginning of an encounter?" Selvalersi snapped, raising an eyebrow.
Peridar closed his eyes and swore in Thalassian. He quickly cast the spell and turned away from the group. Righteous Fury filled him and he scowled at the skeletons at his feet. The next encounter would NOT see them slipping by him.
Buffy scowled at Selvalersi. "It was a simple mistake, Selv." she whispered harshly. "You didn't have to be so mean."
Selvalersi shook her head. "You are wrong, Buffy." she said. "There are far deadlier things in this world than mere skeletons, and they will not be forgiving. He MUST learn and he must understand the costs."
Peridar turned to the two women as Buffy was about to speak. "She's right, Buffy." he said softly. "It is my job to go first, to keep them focused on me while you three finish them before they realize what is happening to them." he said.
Xander frowned. "Three?" he said looking around.
Buffy spun, as did Selvalersi. "Turgren?" Buffy called, slightly panicked. She was fond of the massive Tauren warrior. "TURGREN!"
Quietly, the echoes rang down the passageway. Peridar rolled his eyes and Xander chuckled quietly. The clang of metal on stone stopped. Turgren came around the corner, stuffing three chunks of silver into his packs. "Sorry, found a silver node." he smiled.
Buffy shook her head and punched the Tauren, her fist making the chain mail he wore jingle and making him smile.
Peridar spied movement in the next room and looked over the group. "Ready to end this?"
Buffy nodded, as did Turgren. Selvalersi looked at the small imp at her feet and shook her head. "Try lighting the
on fire this time."
The imp shrugged. "Hey, honest mistake. You're both..." he paused as Selvalersi narrowed her gaze. "Uh...life impared?"
Xander had to bite his cheek. He LOVED that imp!
"Let's get on with it." Selvalersi sighed.
Several minutes later, Bloodmage Thalnos died, horribly...for good this time.
Searching the fiend, Selvalersi smiled grimly. Her Queen would be very pleased to be rid of the mage. And, she received quite a nice piece of enchanted armor. The mantle would suffice until better could be found, and she would find better. She would strip the enchanted gear from the bodies of every one of the Lich Kings minions that dared to cross her, and she would wear the pieces when she stared into his cold eyes and burned what was left of his soul.
Buffy gently touched Selvalersi's shoulder. "Are you alright?" she asked softly.
Selvalersi turned her head away quickly, shrugging the hand from her shoulder. "I'm fine." she said quickly. "Let us go claim our reward."
Buffy nodded and stood, waving a concerned Xander away. She said nothing of the tears she saw and, again, wondered about the life of their Forsaken companion.
Giles sighed as he removed his glasses and, taking a rare moment of quiet, leaned against the wall. 'Buffy, Xander...wherever you are I pray you are safe.' he thought.
Tara looked at Willow sleeping fitfully and frowned. Two days. It had only been two days ago that she regained what Glory had stolen, and she knew Willow had ripped it from the Hellgoddess and returned it. But was the price she paid to high? Buffy and Xander both gone, would Willow ever recover? Tara kissed Willow softly on her head and felt the tension lessen, but not vanish. Two days seemed like a lifetime.
Buffy stared, mutely in awe, at the swirling vortex in front of her. She thought of the friends she had made along the way and wondered where they were now. Peridar, Xander, Selvalersi, Turgren and herself had all been together since they came to Azeroth over three years ago. Again, she thought of Mulgore and Thunder Bluff. The land was some of the most beautiful she had seen in Azeroth, and she wanted to return, and she meant to...she always meant to, but something always occupied her time. The time never seemed right, and when they did venture to a major city, it was usually to the Orc capital city of Orgrimmar. Warchief Thrall was busy, increasingly so lately, and he still found time to continue making inqueries of scholars and allies to help find a way home for both her and Xander. And now, there was this place.
"The Blasted Lands." Selvalersi said quietly, adjusting the grip on her staff. "An apt name."
Xander only nodded mutely. His plate armor reflected the blazing sun overhead and she smiled. Xander was very proud of it, and she was proud of him. Xander and Peridar had both reached the pinnacle in the eyes of their superiors about a year ago, and they were inducted as full Paladins into the order. The plate armor they were given was very beautiful, but very ceremonial; only a fool would wear it into battle.
Turgren had a solution, one that was relatively cheap, not that they had money problems. He would make their armor for them. He certainly had the skill. Turgren's wares were always welcome in any of the cities auction houses and the he was paid handsomely for them. Peridar was wear an Enchanted Thorium Breastplate that Turgren had crafted and the enchantments were quite powerful. Peridar's strength, and vigor had increased greatly. In fact Buffy, Xander, Peridar and Turgren himself wore items the Tauren crafted.
Selvalersi's voice cut through Buffy's reviling. "Are we going to go through it or did we come all this way to just stare at it?"
Peridar looked at his friends and smiled. "Right then." he said, walking forward.
Turgren snorted, his grip tightening on his axes. Turgren had sought special training. He could wield weapons that would normally be used with both hands in one hand. As a result, he swung two massive axes in battle, and he was deadly accurate with them. Buffy preferred a two-handed sword.
"Let's do this." Xander nodded. As one, the group walked through the spiraling portal and into the shattered world of Draenor, now called Outland. Thrall had said that perhaps the Naaru could help get them home. They would find A'Dal in Shattrath City.
Buffy smiled. Perhaps they would find a way home here. Perhaps, she and Xander could return to their first family. Even if that meant leaving their new family behind, a thought she did not relish. But those thoughts were for another day. Right now, they had work to do.
As they emerged from the portal they were stunned into silence. The battle was literally on the portals doorstep.
Xander glanced over at Buffy. "That's a lot of demons."
Buffy just nodded, licking her drying lips.
"Go get 'em." Xander gave her a small shove.
"What?!" She asked, looking at him as if he had lost his mind.
"Well you're the slayer." Xander smiled. Buffy just rolled her eyes.
"I think it would be best if we reported first." Peridar pointed to Lieutenant General Orion.
They would obviously find much to do here in Outland.

- Conference date: 24–27 October 2010
- Location: Paris, (France)
Determination of the optimal operating condition for moulding process has been of special interest for many researchers. To determine the optimal setting, one has to derive the model of injection moulding process first which is able to map the relationship between the input process control factors and output responses. One of most popular modeling techniques is the linear least square regression due to its effectiveness and completeness. However, the least square regression was found to be very sensitive to the outliers and failed to provide a reliable model if the control variables are highly related with each other. To address this problem, a new modeling method based on principal component regression was proposed in this paper. The distinguished feature of our proposed method is it does not only consider the variance of covariance matrix of control variables but also consider the correlation coefficient between control variables and target variables to be optimised. Such a modelling method has been implemented into a commercial optimisation software and field test results demonstrated the performance of the proposed modelling method.

Boyd Gaming Rolls the Dice on Casino Deal
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In rolling the dice on a $1.45 billion acquisition of Peninsula Gaming, heavily indebted Boyd Gaming (BYD) is taking one of the more notable recent gambles in the risk-fueled casino industry.
The move may prove to be a well-timed push into southern and Midwestern economies after Boyd was unsuccessful in a larger play for Station Casino's -- as well as a diversification away from the hyper-competitive Las Vegas and Atlantic City gambling markets -- but the acquisition will add roughly $1 billion to already high debt levels and the prospect of shareholder dilution.
If it's to be the "transformative" deal for which Boyd has been searching, though, it's a gamble that hinges on the U.S. economy avoiding a slowdown. Initial analyst and shareholder reaction was mixed, and suggest the deal won't propel shares from the single digits and anywhere near pre-recession highs.
"Acquiring Peninsula Gaming is a transformative transaction that fits perfectly into our growth strategy by expanding our company's scale, diversifying our platform, strengthening our financial profile, and generating meaningful value for our shareholders," said Boyd Gaming CEO Keith Smith in a late Wednesday press release. Boyd will pay for the deal using $200 million of cash and by issuing $1.2 billion of debt.Smith may be correct on the growth potential and diversification benefits, however, saddled with roughly $3.5 billion in debt, Boyd Gaming may not have the cash to pay off the $1.45 billion offer. Such a dilemma is normally the case within the casino industry, which operates with large debt levels and is highly exposed to economic swings that may cause consumers to either ramp up or clamp down on leisure spending. Companies like Las Vegas Sands (LVS), Wynn Resorts (WYN) and Caesars Entertainment (CZY) are all taking risks to diversify into non-Las Vegas and Atlantic City markets in a push to bump up profit margins.

This is my fourth post in my series on 'Assembly Techniques for Woodworkers'. You might also like to read about the 'Bottom up Technique' and the 'Top Down technique'.
I have base these tutorials on simple items that you would find in any Woodworkers shop – this time it's a Mitre Block.
This tutorial will show you how to create a simple assembly model with Autodesk Inventor, using the 'Skeletal' modelling technique.
Using skeletal modelling, we will start with a master part file which contains a master sketch which defines all the major geometry needed for our assembly. We will then 'Derive' our master sketch out into our part files. We will then build the features in each part as usual. Finally we will bring all the parts back into our assembly model.
Using this method there is no need to add assembly constraints to lock the position of the parts, all parts can be grounded using their origin coordinates. The master part will control the size and layout of the assembly.
This article is aimed at novice users. However I am assuming that you are familiar with the concepts of parametric modelling, that you are comfortable creating and constraining sketches, and that you've had some time to explore the Inventor user interface.
In this tutorial we will use the following workflow:
- Create a part file
- Add parameters
- Create a sketch
- Constrain the sketch
- Create a new part file
- Derive the master sketch into the current part
- Add a sketch based feature (an extrusion)
- Change the look of a part
- Create the next part
- Add all the parts to the assembly
- 'Ground a root' the parts into position

The small data problem is the need for an individual to create, store, retrieve, and otherwise organize all the small bits of information they need to remember for their day to day activities. It will be different to every person. It might include To Do items, contacts, shopping lists, notes from meetings, and other little tidbits of information. It could also include music files or bits of information typically stored on cell phones or PDAs.
There are a lot of good products out there addressing this problem. I will be reviewing a bunch of them in the blog. So check back regularly.
I have also released my own extensible solution to parts of the small data problem. This is an application called Toba and an underlying framework called Samosir that anyone can use to extend Toba's functioanlity.

Unreleased Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Music
For starters, it has been confirmed via interviews at Anime Expo 2006 with Production IG animators that Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society (phew) is not the last installation to the SAC universe.

|Aging time reduction to increase the production line capacity of LCD television

|Tarrés Ruiz, Francisco; Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Departament de Teoria del Senyal i Comunicacions
The aim of this project is to make a study on the reduction of the aging time of aSony LCD television to increase its production at the company. The aging timeis a period of time when the turned on LCD television is working with a whitepattern, with the maximum luminance and the maximum backlight to adjust itscolorimetry and luminance levels.Due to the structure and design of production lines and the capacity needs ofthe company, the ageing time information specified by Design Departmentrepresents a bottleneck at the assembly process of the television. In fact, thereare two possibilities to get to the desired result with the necessary time. Thefirst one is to invest in structure and space to lengthen the production lines, andthe second and chosen one is to reduce the ageing time to increase theproduction.To reduce the ageing time we should find how to model the television behaviorout from a mathematical equation. Also, with the help of 6s parameter wewould estimate the behavior and the characteristics of the television with twovariables: the television operation time and the television exterior surfacetemperature, both of them correlated.With this information we will be able to determine which the minimum agingtime is in order to increase the production of televisions.

Link: Cheat Sheet Generator and Cheat Sheet Repository - Cheatography.com
Cheatography is a cheat sheet generator and repository where you can build and share cheat sheets and quick reference material for your hobbies, home, holidays or work.
Cheatography is a collection of 168 cheat sheets and quick references for everything from language to cooking,...
Cheatography is in beta...
Android app designers and/or developers should find this cheat sheet really useful...
Android cheat sheet for graphic designers
Not a cheat sheet but not sure where else to put these: Some Windows 7 shortcut keys [Some might be repeated from earlier entries but I am sure there are quite a few new here (new to me anyway!)]
Windows Management:
Some Windows Management shortcuts:
- Windows Key + Home: Clear all but the active window.
- Windows Key + Space: All windows become transparent so you can see through to the desktop.
- Windows Key + Up arrow: Maximize the active window.
- Shift + Windows Key + Up arrow: Maximize the active window vertically.
- Windows Key + Down arrow: Minimize the window/Restore the window if it's maximized.
- Windows Key + Left/Right arrows: Dock the window to each side of the monitor.
- Shift + Windows Key + Left/Right arrows: Move the window to the monitor on the left or right.
Here are some ways you can interact with the windows with your mouse:
- Drag window to the top: Maximize
- Drag window left/right: Dock the window to fill half of the screen.
- Shake window back/forth: Minimize everything but the current window.
- Double-Click Top Window Border (edge): Maximize window vertically.
Using the Windows key and the numbers (1-9) you can interact with the applications you have pinned to the taskbar. So let's say you have Visual Studio pinned to the taskbar (and it's the first item pinned) you can use the Windows key + 1 to launch Visual Studio, or you can use Win + ALT + 1 to gain access to the Jump Menu for Visual Studio.
Here's some more shortcut keys for the Windows Taskbar:
- Windows Key + number (1-9): Starts the application pinned to the taskbar in that position, or switches to that program.
- Shift + Windows Key + number (1-9): Starts a new instance of the application pinned to the taskbar in that position.
- Ctrl + Windows Key + number (1-9): Cycles through open windows for the application pinned to the taskbar is that position.
- Alt + Windows Key + number (1-9): Opens the Jump List for the application pinned to the taskbar.
- Windows Key + T: Focus and scroll through items on the taskbar.
- Windows Key + B: Focuses the System Tray icons
Another way you can interact with your Taskbar is by using your mouse and a key, here's the most common ones you'll want to know about
- Shift + Click on a taskbar button: Open a program or quickly open another instance of a program.
- Ctrl + Shift + Click on a taskbar button: Open a program as an administrator.
- Shift + Right-Click on a taskbar button: Show the window menu for the program (like XP does).
- Shift + Right-Click on a grouped taskbar button: Show the window menu for the group.
- Ctrl + Click on a grouped taskbar button: Cycle through the windows of the group.
Here are some final hotkeys you may find useful and interesting:
- Ctrl + Shift + N: Creates a new folder in Windows Explorer.
- Alt + Up: Goes up a folder level in Windows Explorer.
- Alt + P: Toggles the preview pane in Windows Explorer.
- Shift +Right - Click on a file: Adds Copy as Path, which copies the path of a file to the clipboard.
- Shift + Right-Click on a file: Adds extra hidden items to the Send To menu.
- Shift + Right-Click on a folder: Adds Command Prompt Here, which lets you easily open a command prompt in that folder.
- Win + P: Adjust presentation settings for your display.
- Win + (+/-): Zoom in/out.
- Win + G: Cycle between the Windows Gadgets on your screen.

Ranking Member Waxman Releases New GM Warranty Claims Data on Recalled Vehicles
WASHINGTON, DC— Today Ranking Member Henry A. Waxman released a supplemental memorandum on findings from never-released GM warranty claims. Released in advance of this afternoon's hearing with GM CEO Mary Barra, the memo shows that drivers and GM technicians repeatedly reported the ignition switch defect beginning in 2003.
An analysis of the warranty claims database by Committee staff revealed 133 cases between June 2003 and June 2012 where customers reported issues related to the ignition switch shutoff to dealers and GM service technicians. Examples of reported claims include: "customer states sometimes when bumping ignition switch area vehicle will shut off"; "vehicle stalls out when hitting bump/pothole in road, noticed at 50 MPH"; "customer states when driving vehicle died at highway speeds;" and "when hitting bumps in road vehicle has died four times."
The supplemental memo is available online here.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Chris Samba has reportedly passed a medical at Loftus Road and is closing in on a move to QPR.
Samba's current employers Anzhi Makhachkala revealed on Wednesday that the defender was heading to England for transfer talks.
The former Blackburn centre-half is eager to return to the Premier League from Russia and has jumped at the chance to join Harry Redknapp's QPR revolution.
It is believed that a deal is in place, with the relevant paperwork now being processed.
It is also understood that Redknapp is ready to raid his former employers Tottenham for David Bentley, Jermaine Jenas and Andros Townsend.
All three players are out of favour at White Hart Lane, with Bentley and Jenas having taken in spells out on loan this season.
Redknapp hopes Spurs can be persuaded to part with the trio, as he attempts to piece together a squad which is capable of clawing its way to Premier League safety.

5/7/07: The Thirteenth Tipping Point
By Doug Fabrizio
Salt Lake City, UT – British scientist John Schellnhuber has identified 12 tipping-points that, if triggered, would likely initiate sudden changes across the planet. From the deforestation of the Amazon to the melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, each is tied into a global environmental system that could experience a catastrophic domino effect. Journalist Julia Whitty joins Doug with details of Schellnhuber's findings, and to explain the one factor that could change the tide. (Rebroadcast)

Keith Urban's American Idol Gig
American Idol is heating up with the competition as more contestants are eliminated this week, counting down to the live episodes, which kick off the week of March 5th. Judge Keith Urban has truly fought for several of the contestants, even when the other judges want to send them home, as such was the case for Shuba Vedula. So, how does he deliver constructive criticism and still be the nicest guy on the judges' panel? Keith says:"I think every person handles critiquing differently, and I'm trying to sort of get a feel for what the artist is comfortable hearing and what they're not going to be comfortable in hearing. And something that's just straight soul-crushing and not helpful to them, I just don't see anything worth in it. I'm trying to give specific direction, if it's something they can work on. It's just my opinion, and it's not to say it's a fact. They can take it, they can leave it, but I try to deliver it in a way in which I'd like people to deliver it to me, or again, it's really based on the person."

U.S. health officials have linked pomegranate seeds from Turkey to a multistate outbreak of hepatitis A virus infections. As of July 1, 2013, public health officials have confirmed that 132 people have become ill from hepatitis A after eating "Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend.' Cases have been reported in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Wisconsin, but those in Wisconsin resulted from exposure to the product in California. The product has since been recalled. There have been 59 hospitalizations, but no deaths. At this time, there is no evidence connecting the cases to the 2013 outbreak of hepatitis A infections in Europe linked to frozen berries or to the 2012 outbreak in British Columbia tied to a frozen berry blend with pomegranate seeds from Egypt.

Castle Review: May Fortune Guide Your Journeyby Courtney Morrison at . Comments
There are several reasons to love Castle.
You get the detective business, but it's lighthearted. There are jokes and romances that other cop shows lack. In reality, Castle is one of a kind. And "The Final Frontier" was another hour of television that proved why. No other series could have pulled this off.
Supernova Con. The weekly case took place at a sci-fi/comic book convention. A woman is murdered after working to bring back a canceled show by providing fan experiences. Not only did the case bring about some funny characters, but it was the ultimate nod to Firefly.
Spacecraft crew fighting to survive? Check. Canceled after one season? Check. Mention of Joss Whedon? Check.
This was pretty much awesome. What made it even better was Beckett's long standing obsession with the show. Did you see the picture of her dressed up as Lt. Chloe? Hot. Speaking of hot: Hello, Alexis!
Gabriel Winters: You Are The Man. We must give a shout out to Ed Quinn, who rocked as a Nebula 9 character. He was hilarious and provided one solid one-liner after another. (Check them out in our Castle Quotes section.)
Caskett Carries On. These two characters have developed such a fun relationship. Work and play has to be the best combination. It feels natural and is seriously enjoyable to watch. Was anyone else surprised at the fact that no one mentioned their relationship, considering they just found out? A little odd.
Beckett's request to watch a Nebula 9 marathon with Castle in exchange for dressing up in her costume was great. How could you not adore this character even more after she showed those amazing legs up to her mask?
Andrew Marlowe, week after week you continue to make this show so much fun.
Overall, a pretty fun episode - especially if you are a fanboy/girl, costume wearing comic book geek like most of us. Check back later this week for the Castle Round Table and don't forget to hit up the comments to let us know what you thought of "The Final Frontier."
Until next time Castle fans, remember: May fortune guide your journey.
Someone posted there weren't any references to firefly! Castle used the word Shiny. Nebula 9 was cancelled after one season bit/12 episodes (there were 14 of firefly but fox only aired 12). Joss Whedon was mentioned. Creavers = Reavers. And probably a few more that were hidden away. Will definitely give it another watch to find a few more easter eggs. Also Alexis, Damn!
FYI: Their camera man said Stana did NOT have a body double in the end scene. Will everyone please stop with the she's too thin, is she pregnant crap! She's a normal woman who's body fluctuates. Some of it is costume choice or camera angle. She does read some of these sites and posts, please be respectful. Don't speculate. Just enjoy her for the beautiful person that she is.
I agree with Sue Ann. Castle's face said it all as he listened to Beckett opening up to him. think its great that she is a geek to!
I'm not sure why, but I didn't like this episode so much. It seemed too ordinary (if you can believe that, with a Star Trek theme). The whole thing seemed too much like other crime shows than it did like "Castle." It would have been cute, tho, if Castle and Beckett had gone undercover in costume.
Sorry- I thought it was over the top- started out ok- with a little humor, seeing Beckett having fun, but was disappointed in the ending- thats more Castle than Beckett; the beauty of this show is that most of the time their is a balance of fun, humor,seriousness, psychological drama, thought provoking insights and questions-I just don't want the humor or the banter (like so many other shows, NCIS LA) to take over and detract from the continuous development of the characters, their credibility and the story line-(whatever it is-like finding out why Beckett's mom was killed). Well at least the Sreaming Captain isnt screaming so much.
this episode was so frackin awesome. i LMAO the entire episode. From Castle's reference to firefly with the "shiny" line to teasing Kate about her being a mega fan of the series to his reaction to seeing Alexis to the ending with Kate dressed up and scaring him with the Creavers mask. it was hilarious. fun all the way through. Love this entire season so far. So well done.
Frakes was the fan at the beginning, shirt saying "#1 Fan" from Picard's #1. RAWR!!! Loved the ending!!!
1. Doesn't matter if Stana is pregnant or not, too thin or not...why do some poeple always want to criticize a woman for her body?? She is hot and the acting was awesome...nuff said.
2. The scene with Rick and Alexis was hilarious, both when he first saw her and when they "talked" about it after...but her outfit was far more revealing than the costume Beckett wore for Castle AND Castle was asking Beckett to be dressed up in private, Alexis was in public! Never knew she even had a chest til this eopisode. I also loved that Beckett initially calmed him down - it gave validity to the relationship.
3. Loved all the references, even though I admit I didn't get them all.
This was classic FUN Castle + Caskett. Great episode.
I absolutely LOVED this episode...the only thing that wasn't there I would have liked to see were a couple references to Fillon's Firefly show. It was so much fun to watch....the end was hilarious as well...I knew Kate would don the mask of that alien and Castle's reaction made it worth the way. The way this entire crew works together makes this show one of the best if not the best show on t.v......I also would be remiss if I didn't mention the scene when Alexis walks past Castle and he stops midsentence; that was SO A FATHER'S REACTION!!
I love this show. I love how it keeps getting better and better, how getting Kate and Castle together is adding to the brilliance. I wanted it to happen, but at the time I was worried they would end up like Bones and become boring and predictable. I'm a huge sci-fi fan and this episode totally has me geeking out. I loved it, it was brilliant! One commenter mentioned a Farscape reference: I must have missed it. What was it?

Politics are a funny business for many reasons. But one thing's for sure, the candidates aren't usually career comedians.
That all began to change when Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," filed to open his very own Super PAC tagged as the "Americans for a better tomorrow, tomorrow."
If you don't know what a Super PAC is, let me tell you that they are frightening. A Super PAC can accept undisclosed amounts of money from anonymous donors to spend on the political candidate of its choosing. And they only have one real rule: Don't coordinate with candidates.
Does it seem sketchy yet? It gets worse.This primary season alone, Super PACs have spent $35 million on campaign ads, and they're only getting started.
The fact that Colbert, a comedian, could own a Super PAC, only shows how ridiculous the system really is. And the "Colbert Super PAC" (yes, he named it after himself) has been serving as an object lesson to explain the hilarity of the system to his viewers.
Let me tell you that I am not usually a funny writer, but I don't even have to try to make what happened next entertaining.
A poll published on Jan. 10 revealed that Stephen Colbert had a greater following than candidate Jon Huntsman (presumably causing Huntsman to withdraw his candidacy).
Another poll stated that Colbert had a higher favorability score (36 percent) than any GOP candidate.
A third estimated that Colbert would get 13 percent of the vote in a popular election against Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
Three polls said Colbert had a better chance of becoming president than some actual presidential candidates.
So Colbert did the only sane thing a comedian in his position would do – create an exploratory committee to look into running for office … as the president of South Carolina.
Colbert immediately signed his Super PAC over to best-friend, co-worker and co-owner of bagel- shop- meets- travel- agency "From Schmear to Eternity," Jon Stewart.
The next week made for the most entertaining television, and best political satire, I have ever witnessed as Stewart and Colbert made sure not to break the only real rule governing candidates and their Super PACs: non-coordination.
They changed the name of the "Colbert Super PAC" to the "Definitely Not Coordinating with Stephen Colbert Super PAC."
Stewart re-hired Colbert's Super PAC staff to run the Super PAC and labeled their staffs with red and blue shirts. So no one could be confused, the red team wore blue T-shirts with green letters and the blue team wore red shirts with yellow letters.
Colbert and Steward followed Newt Gingrich's example as Colbert spoke to his Super PAC "as an individual" through a (cardboard) television statement on Stewart's The Daily Show.
They called their lawyer Trevor Potter to make sure they were still following the rules while they had a conversation about what ads were going to run in different South Carolina cities.
And it was all legal, no matter how ridiculous it became.
Sadly, the primary in South Carolina was a closed ballot. Which meant Colbert couldn't get his own name on the ballot.
Then again, former candidate Herman Cain couldn't get his name off of the ticket either.
So Colbert asked his followers to vote for Herman Cain to show their support of his potential campaign.
Cain even gave Colbert a ride to his "Rock me like a Herman Cain South Cain-olina Primary Rally" on his infamous tour bus. And Cain sang the Pokemon song he quoted in his farewell speech to the 3,500 attendees.
In the end, Stephen Colbert-Cain only received 1.1 percent of the vote in the South Carolina primary, which forced him to "re-suspend Herman Cain's suspended campaign." (Although, that 1 percent accounted for 6,324 votes, thousands more than Cain's 45 votes in Iowa or 160 in New Hampshire.)
Regardless, Colbert never actually thought his fake bid for the presidency would work, no matter what the polls said, or how much some people wished it might.
But he managed to make his point during his Charleston, South Carolina rally very clear:
"The pundits have asked, 'Is this all some joke?' We've all heard it haven't we?" he said. "If they are calling being allowed to form a Super PAC and collecting unlimited and untraceable amounts of money from individuals, unions and corporations; and spend that money on political ads and for personal enrichment; then surrender that Super PAC to one of my closest friends while I explore a run for office. If that is a joke, then they are saying our entire campaign finance system is a joke."
The sad part is, Colbert wasn't kidding. This is actually happening, candidates are toeing the line with their Super PACs and there's very little the government can do to stop it.
I don't know about you, but I don't find that funny at all.

6.0/WoD update... when is it coming?
An armorkini module for MogIt.
This collection of bikini-like and skimpy looking outfits is based on this thread, which was written by Lull of Misha (US). A big thanks to her for all the hard work she has put into the list (and for giving me permission to use it in this addon).
Requires MogIt v3.3
6.0/WoD update... when is it coming?
THANK YOU! - Yes... I meant the caps. :D
Thank you soooooooo much :-)
So I posted back in May about the Armorkinis not showing up and still no reply? That makes me sad. I really liked this addon but now it just frustratesme. :(
The Armorkinis part doesnt seem to work anymore. I remember it having its own "tab" on the menu now it doesnt :(
Can you add tabards to the list please?
im lost without an update soon :(
This one i also one I need otherwise I might die ...again trough sadness it´s not updated yet.
I love this mod, I wish it would get an update for MoP. Any chance of that happening?
It's not 100% it seems. Maybe..didn't have it before so I don't know if it's only supposed to show the chest and legs in the little preview for the sets but I made it work.
Simple enough if you can edit the .toc file. All you have to do is open the MogIt_Armorkinis.toc from this and also the one for any other module, i.e. MogIt_Mail.toc and copy the top portion of that and replace the top portion that's in the MogIt_Armorkinis.toc.
C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\MogIt_Armorkinis
or copy this. w/e floats your boat. simple short term fix until our lovely host does it right. :D
## Interface: 50001

edit: if you need a nice program that's free and simple to use that can edit said files including .lua files then you can find an awesome little one here. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Works, thanks.
To anyone else using this, change Interface to 50200 and Version to 3.1.1
And to get everything to show, and not only the chest and legs. For example in the plate.lua,
Original: s(4,"Lofty",{14924,14928},{14925,14929,14922,14926,14927,14923})
New: s(4,"Lofty",{14924,14928,14925,14929,14922,14926,14927,14923})
You remove the },{ and add a , instead.

Ahh casual Thursday. This should become an official thing :)ReplyDelete
I highly recommend it :)Delete
Those empty office days when no one cared about the dress code - although to be fair, no one ever cared about it much at my office - were always my favourite. Love your boots!
Thanks Cee!
No one cares too much at work - I normally enforce my own dress code - but I decided that it was just too cold and too busy not to wear as many layers of comfy clothes as possible!
Comfy & chic, I love it! I was wearing sequins when working from home last week, I guess I enforce dressy days since I mostly work alone, still need to impress myself :)ReplyDelete
hahaha that's awesome! I usually dress up for myself at work, but this was a particularly busy week and I took full advantage of the empty office to dress down - it was glorious!Delete
Everyone always finds such cute things from Joe fresh. I have to remember to check out their clothes! Love the white shirt layered underneath.ReplyDelete
Thanks! I bought the shirt a couple of years ago, and it was super cheap! Since then I've gotten so much wear out of it. It's the perfect layering piece.Delete
LOOOOL....U badass!!!
Loving this look, love!
