BeoVision 4's plasma panel qualifies as 'full HD', which means you see sharp details, rich, lifelike colours, and smooth movement of objects on the screen.
All of the VisionClear picture quality technologies are designed to make sure you have the highest quality picture possible. For example, the Automatic Picture Control sensor continuously measures the ambient light in the room and adjusts the light output from the screen accordingly, which ensures you get the best viewing experience whether day or night, or whether your walls are white or wallpapered.
BeoVision 4's plasma panel qualifies as 'full HD', which means you see sharp details, rich, lifelike colours, and smooth movement of objects on the screen.

Appropriately, the attention to detail in the electronics of BeoVision 4 is matched by its physical frame.

BeoVision 4
Active shutter glasses are synchronised with your 3D Bang & Olufsen TV via an infrared signal. When watching a 3D film, the stereoscopic method has the advantage of a Full High Definition 3D image for each eye versus other methods where the resolution is only half of Full HD. A compromise we couldn't live with. The result is an uncanny perception of being right there in the actual scene.
The process of filming in 3D is quite interesting, designed to mimic the way you view things in real life. To achieve this, two cameras are mounted side-by-side, often on a rig separated by the same distance as between a person's pupils. When watching the finished film, the images are transmitted to the left and right eye sequentially (one after the other) in a continuous flow. A process called stereoscopic 3D imaging. In order to get the 3D effect, you need special active shutter glasses which decode what the cameras recorded.
This is a powerful centre speaker which perfectly matches the slim design and awesome picture quality of BeoVision 4. Learn more

The Colts saw their run for a state title came to a close as they lost to the Tri-County Academy Rebels 5-2. Tri-County, at 26-3, will now play Glenbrook School for the Class A State Title this week. Bayou ended its season at 16-4.
"Ending the season on the note we did was disappointing, but the progress the guys made during the season was good," Bayou head coach Will Reed said. "We'll look to continue that going into next year."
In the top of the third, things seemed to go in favor of the Colts. After Tyler Kitchings reached on a walk, Chantz Arbuckle tagged a single. Caleb Pilgrim drilled a single to drove in Kitchings, while Trevor Runnels hit a ground ball to second which scored Arbuckle to make the score 2-0.
The Rebels battled back in the bottom of the fourth as they had a runner reach base on a hit by pitch and another reach on an infield single. Those two runners would score on a triple to tie the game at 2-2. The Rebels were able to get the lead before the inning was over as an RBI-single made the score 3-2.
In the sixth, Tri-County had a runner reach base on a hit by pitch, while another runner reached base on a walk. Those two runners would score on a single to make the score 5-2.
"We had mental mistakes on offense that hurt us," Reed said. "We didn't score with a lead-off triple and we got picked off twice. They did a good job of manufacturing runs on us."
The Colts couldn't catch up as the Rebels ended up securing the victory.
Michael Portner suffered the loss on the mound as he gave up five runs on four hits with three walks and two hit batter in 5 2/3 innings of work. Trevor Runnels entered the game in relief for Bayou in the sixth as he tossed two-thirds of an inning striking out one.
Portner drilled hits two including a triple, and Pilgrim roped two hits and drove in a run to lead the Colts at the plate.

Hello. My name is Russell Preston Brown, from Adobe Systems,
and this is a quick overview of a great new feature
found in Adobe Photoshop CS6,
and it's Adobe Camera Raw 7.0.
It's a great new upgrade to the Adobe Camera Raw feature set.
Casting our eye over here to my screen--
you can see that I've got a fairly dark image.
And I want to go through what has just happened, what has just changed.
The world has changed.
Now, the beauty of Adobe Camera Raw is that we can update
the way in which we interpret the raw data.
Now you have your Legacy capabilities.
You can maintain your Legacy controls
over images you may have processed in the past.
And we don't force you to upgrade--
but this new upgrade is really, really nice for some of your current images--
or even some of your older images.
Here's my original--now here's the way I can correct this image,
using the 2010 version of Adobe Camera Raw.
This is the best I can achieve
to pull out the Shadows and Highlights within the image.
But check this out:
here then, is the way I can interpret this same information
here in Adobe Camera Raw 2012.
I'll do that again--
and 2012.
Look how I can go in and bring out
much more control of the highlight information
And just to refresh your memory,
I started with that--
to get all the way to this--really amazing.
Here's another example:
here's a shot inside of a church--
darker regions, some Highlights up above.
Here's 2010.
Using my Fill Light feature, I can do some pretty amazing things.
But I was stunned to see what I can do in the
2012 version of Adobe Camera Raw 7.0.
Watch the shadows, in this case, as I click to the next image.
It's really beautiful--almost an HDR-like quality
in that I'm bringing out detail over here
in the arches, here in the shadows,
and I'm maintaining the highlight detail up here, above--really great.
Okay. Let's take a look at the details to this.
I'm going to go back here to my original image.
This happens to be a Smart Object,
which, of course--in this case, a Smart Object of a Camera Raw image.
You can double-click on that and open it up here,
inside of Adobe Camera Raw.
Over here, under the Camera Calibration item right here,
you'll see that I''m currently in the processing
of a 2012 processing of this image.
As I said earlier, you have the Legacy versions
of the way in which we process this data.
And if you have an image that you really, really like
and you processed it in one of these earlier versions,
I'd say leave it there and maybe try processing it in a new copy--
because you may want to use that or make a print of it,
and have it exist exactly as you remember it.
2012 is my choice here.
If I go over here to my basic settings--
right here--you can see the changes.
You now separate highlights and shadows.
In the past, we had something called Fill Light--but I really love this.
Notice how I can take the highlights
down or up.
Notice how it's isolating the sky from the shadow in the foreground.
Bring the highlights down, bring my shadows up.
It's just really, really nice--
the ability to split those 2 and separate them.
Let's bring up our Clarity a bit--
because that's also going to bring up my overall Lightness,
and then, down here, a little bit of Vibrance
just because it needed a little bit more color--just like that.
Now, basically, what I like to do is
start by maybe increasing the exposure.
Now I must admit, this particular image
was extremely underexposed
and I find the best images that work well with the light and dark
is a medium exposure--and not too bright, not too dark--
that you start with, as your beginning point,
to create a really nice dramatic, full range of shades.
Clarity, Vibrance, Highlights down--
once again, we can bring those right down and separate them.
And the beauty of this is, as I'm working with Clarity and the Brightness--
excuse me, the Highlights and the Shadows--
I don't see a lot of haloing, which I might normally expect to see.
So we've controlled the amount of halo that appears within your image.
A little bit more exposure--like this--
and--you know, just as another tip and technique--
when I'm working with images like this,
I like to go over to the HSL/Grayscale,
and I like to target the Luminance of particular colors in an image.
For example, the Red values found in the pagoda here--
I can go in and highlight those--
or even the Orange values.
Let's take a look at some of the Green values in the foliage in the background
or even the Blue values--we can make the sky darker or lighter.
So don't forget to go into your Luminance values,
in combination with your basic settings,
to really give your image a nice punch.
In combination with these great new features here
for adjusting the separation of Highlights and Shadows,
I also like the new capability, here,
of going in and adjusting the image with the Adjustment Brush.
We've added some new features here.
You can now go in and brush in the Sharpness and Noise Reduction
into the image, which is really fantastic,
as your working on an image and that's a great new feature.
So there you have my favorite capability.
It's definitely going in and bringing in that Highlight and Shadow
and if I just switch back to the past for a moment and show you this--
if we switch back over here, from the 2012 to the 2010--
take a look at the way the image changes.
Well that's pretty dramatic, but you see
that we just have the Fill Light.
We only have Fill Light, which is really like our Shadow Control.
But notice, in the past, we started with zero on the left and 100 on the right.
And in the future--in 2012 here--
all of our settings start here, at the zero point in the middle
and you can have negative values and positive values, which I really love.
It gives me the full range of control.
Let's click OK.
So there you have it--some great new additions
to Adobe Camera Raw found here,
inside of Adobe Photoshop CS 6.
Give them a try.

Have you heard the myth that black cats are unsafe in October, in part because witches may try to adopt them for rituals? We sure have. But guess what? Top ASPCA experts agree that it's just not true.
At the ASPCA, we LOVE black kitties. (Some of our friendliest cats, like Marissa, are black—yet Marissa has waited more than nine months to find a family. What's up with that?)
Aside from the most important reason to adopt black kitties—that they really need extra help finding homes—here are a few reasons to take home one or two:
- Their fur won't show on your little black dress.
- You can tell your kids you adopted a mini panther.
- Black cats go with everything.
- In most cultures, black cats are a sign of good luck.
- You already know black cats are awesome—you have one at home! If you've got a great black kitty, tell us about him or her in the comments. You just might persuade someone else to give these felines a little extra attention.
I am currently the proud parent of 3 adorable black cats, Dora, Batman and Little B. Dora (step-mom) and the boys (brothers) have gotten along famously since they were introduced to each other 2 years ago. They are all rescues. Dora adopted the boys from the minute I brought them home and has kept them in their place ever since. They bring joy and laughter to me on a daily basis. Recently Little B had a kidney stone and had to be hospitalized, but Momma Cat was there to make him feel better when he came home. I have had black cats for over 30 years and would feel incomplete without one. I love it when they decide that I can share the bed with them at night.
We have a black cat, his name is Kozmo and we love him. We always try to adopt a black cat. There is just something about them we love. I will always have one :-)
Our first five cats who "adopted" us were all strays who had been thrown away and were all black. We adored them and felt incredibly lucky they found their way to our house. Our first lived to be nineteen years and four months, and it was like losing a child when she died. We currently have one black cat in the mix, and he's part maine coon--beautifully, strikingly handsome!
I only looked at black kitties the last time I went to adopt, since I knew they often had trouble finding homes. I'm convinced that my Lloyd is not only the best black cat in Milwaukee County, but the best cat, period. He is such a darling; in the two and a half years since I adopted him, I've never heard him hiss or growl, which is amazing since my older cat picks on him. On cold nights, he curls up next to me under the blanket. And he's so handsome. Every time I take him somewhere, he gets compliments. I think I only want black cats from now on.
I have 2 cats one is almost all black his tummy has a white spot and his back paw looks like he stepped in white paint cuz his toes are a little white, and the other looks like she wears a tuxedo they are brother and sister, my friend's mom came over and his little sister showed me this cat and told me he needed a good home, we arranged for her to drop him off later because I needed to go buy supplies, well when she came back there were 2 and I had only planned on keeping the female because I had never had a female pet and I wanted to get "my little girl" and quite honestly I thought she was "cuter." My dad was okay with keeping 2 cats instead of one so we kept both, and let me tell you the one whos black doesn't get into half the trouble she does! She has an independent streak. He never tries to sneak outside, she does constantly or she sits by the door and howls, he never tries, and he will only sit on your lap if you invite him up by putting a special blanket on your lap, she will come over whenever she feels like it and if I have food while watching tv in that chair she tries to stick her face right in it! I love them both but he's way easier to deal with because I'm not constantly trying to enforce rules like moving him off of me like Miyu when she's in the way and I don't have to constantly crawl into the bushes to retrieve him because he had a mind of his own and darted outside.
I have a beautiful little black kitty I got at the local shelter, and she is sweet, and funny, and everyone who comes into contact with her falls in love-even our 120-pound mastiff. I had no intention of adopting a cat that day (I was there to pick upm a copy of some paper work), but when I walked down the line of cats displayed in the lobby, she was curled up asleep, opened those big yellow eyes and looked right at me, and put her little paw up on the glass. You can guess what happened then. I was really surprised when the clerk at the shelter who went through the adoption with me explained that black cats were difficult to find homes for. I cannot believe such ignorance still exists in our society. But, on the other hand, I guess I can. I have had quite a few cats over the past 33 years, and my little black rescue is at the top of the list.
Azabache was on Death Row at MDAS.... i was there to rescue a small, young black kitten that day, but something caught my attention.... inside a cage was a HUGE (18-20 pound) miniature Panther... all i could see was his bright, emerald green eyes, staring at me... Azabache was 3 years old, neautered and unfortunately had already been declawed by his previous owner.... i IMMEDIATELY told MDAS that I was taking him.... he is the KING of my house.. I've had him for 3 years.... and he is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I also rescued and adopted a Black Cat born without eyes, a black cat with weak back legs and a senior (13 year old) blind, deaf female black, long haired cat..... among them, i have orange tabbies and other mixes, but i am here to say BLACK CATS are BEAUTIFUL!!!! : )
I had two of the most special kitties that were black. My sweet little Ms. Beasley and wonderfully funny Pitzi! Both of my sweet black girls are no longer with us any more but they remain in a very special place in my heart. Both of them were strays that we took in and both of them left an indelable memory! Sweet Ms. Beasley never met anyone she did not love! Very talkative and a real snuggler! She was my girl and she would come like a dog when you called her. My lovely funny girl Pitzi was a true cut up! She loved to play ALL the time! And when no one would play with her she would amuse herself by chasing her own tail! They were wonderful cats that were black and beautiful! My sweet little panthers that wait for me in heaven!
I have adopted black cats for 20 yrs. My current baby Ebony I got 5 yrs ago when she was only 2 months old. Her owner gave away her siblings but no one wanted her because she was like her mom and only had a stump for a tail. She is one of the most loving cats I have ever had. I spoil her rotten. She loves to sleep under my arm at night after she kneads the blanket over me. She is my little love and I would protect her with all that I have.My friend Eddie calls her boo boo because she reminds him of halloween. He spoils her also. When he takes a glass of milk he calls her to come have her share before he has his. She has so many different vocal sounds that I know what she is asking for. Sometimes I say show momma and she leads me either to her food bowl or the front door for outside. I love her with all my heart
She started as a foster cat for a friend and has found a forever home with me. Matilde is a 15 lb. black cat with beautiful green/gold eyes and a real lovebug.

I scooped up some samples of NuStevia NoCarbs Blend packets while in my local health foods store. A box of 50 packets usually retails for around $6.49, more than Splenda, but it's potentially worth it for those who like "natural" or low-carb products.
Eager to expand my repertoire of calorie-free sweeteners. I checked out the back of the packets to see that each has no calories, 1 gram of carbs, and < 1 gram of sugar, and was composed of 80 mg of Stevia extract.
My problem with Stevia products is they often have a bitter flavor, so I was excited but a bit hesitant to try this. I went for it, though, putting some in my yogurt and much to my surprise, there was no bitter flavor at all.
This doesn't taste exactly like Splenda or sugar, but it tastes pretty darn good. It sweetens nicely, and is less granular than some sugar substitutes, making it great for sprinkling on foods.
NuStevia NoCarbs Blend also contains rrythritol and natural flavors. Thre is no soy, yeast, gluten, wheat, milk, synthetics, artificial colors or flavors, no msg, preservatives, saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, or artificial sweeteners.
Overall, I was quite favorably impressed by this sweetener. I will probably use it occasionally - for the price, it's not worth it to use it all the time, but it's a nice alternative to my usual sweeteners. Way to restore my faith in Stevia, NuStevia! ... And actually, I just discovered that you can get a box of 50 packets for $3.99 at iHerb.com.

Added To Cart
Subtotal: $26.45
Items in Cart: 5
Add the timeless elegance of a solitaire to your look today! Crafted from your choice of polished 14K white gold or 14K yellow gold, this ring shines with one round brilliant cut 6.5mm white Moissanite stone in a prong setting.
The total diamond equivalent weight is approximately 0.88ct. The ring measures 1/4"L x 7/8"W x 5/16"H.
From the Estrella Moissanite Collection. The ring comes packaged in a Charles and Colvard box with a warranty card. Limited lifetime warranty provided by Charles and Colvard. Made in Mexico. All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Moissanite has very high dispersion and displays 2.4 times more fire than diamond (0.044). Its inherent high refractive index gives Moissanite a dazzling sparkle, while its precisely calibrated and carefully hand-cut facet patterns intensify fire and maximize brilliance.
Moissanite is extremely durable. It is harder (more resistant to scratching) than ruby or sapphire – second only to diamond – and it is resistant to breakage.
Larger sizes of near-colorless Moissanite (6.5mm or 1 carat and larger) might appear to have a slight color. A variety of factors, such as dispersion, tint and the type of jewelry setting, can create and affect this unique color appearance. Moissanite aficionados enjoy the slight hue that results in a very natural-looking gemstone.
Moissanite's high dispersion produces flashes of rich rainbow (spectral) colors. The appearance and degree of these tints are less noticeable when Moissanite is set in jewelry. Jewelry set in gold (yellow, rose or white) and/or set in platinum will affect the face-up appearance of Moissanite.
Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dr. Henri Moissan discovered minute quantities of natural silicon carbide (later named Moissanite in his honor) while analyzing part of Arizona's Diablo Canyon meteorite crater in 1893. Upon close inspection, he noticed the tiny crystals shimmered with brilliance and dispersion, although they were too limited in quantity and not large enough to use in jewelry.
Almost 100 years after Dr. Moissan's amazing discovery, Charles & Colvard, with the aid of science, developed a way to create Moissanite. Appreciated for its overwhelming brilliance, Moissanite continues to take the jewelry world by storm.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.

Ringgold to create school police department
Pennsylvania state Constable Marcus Carroll, who carries a concealed handgun, guards the entrance to Ringgold Elementary School North in Gastonville. His laptop can monitor all security cameras in the district.
Scott Beveridge / Observer-Reporter
Order a Print
NEW EAGLE – Ringgold School District is seeking a security chief as it builds a police department to provide armed officers at the entrances to all of its schools in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre in Connecticut.
The school board on Wednesday authorized Ringgold administrators to advertise for the position, which will cost taxpayers $75,000 a year in salary and benefits, Ringgold Superintendent Karen Polkabla said.
"He's going to bring to the table professional police training," Polkabla said.
"We have to limit access to the buildings," board President Mariann Bulko said. "We've already incorporated panic buttons at Ringgold Elementary School South."
Ringgold directors, like those across the country, have revisited school security after Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 young children and six staff members before killing himself in a Dec. 14 rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School that also has the country re-evaluating gun control.
Ringgold directors decided to create a police department a year after they replaced an armed police officer at the high school with an unarmed security director, leaving the district reliant on Carroll Township police to make arrests.
"In light of recent events, you can look parents in the eye and say you did the right thing," Director Maureen Ott said.
"This is an important thing," added Director William Stein Jr.
The board also voted to authorize Polkabla to direct where and when officers with proper clearances may carry weapons on school property.
The security director, Thomas Thompson, said he is in support of hiring a chief of security, and that he will gladly work alongside the armed officers.
"I want to make sure our children are as safe as possible," Thompson said.
Meanwhile, the board also agreed to hire HHSDR Architects & Engineers to oversee construction of a middle school on the high school campus during yet another contentious marathon meeting, where directors debated nearly every issue brought to the table.
"Somebody in the audience said we should be the new reality TV show," Stein said. "I agree with that. When meetings last this long, they are not effective."
Ott presented a motion limiting directors to three minutes each of discussion on agenda items and ending discussions once the president has called for a vote. Her motion passed 6-3, with Directors Larry Mauro, Charles Smith and Robert Smith casting no votes.
The board also approved the hiring of Barone Murtha Shonberg & Associates Inc. of Pittsburgh to set commercial appraisals on closed elementary schools in Monongahela and Donora.
"What's the hurry?" Robert Smith said.
Ott said selling the buildings would put them back on the tax rolls and they would be repurposed.

Gear progression isn't a "checkpoint" sort of thing. There isn't any "Okay I have X hit points and Y avoidance, now we can kill boss Z."
Just get a group together and start killing trash. Try the boss, see where you and your team needs to improve.
If you are dying and the healers have mana, you need more Stamina, Armor, Block Value. If you and dying because your healers ran out of mana, more dodge and parry would be a good thing.
Remember too, it's not about you. If you have the DPS to take Gruul down in 9 growths, you can tank him in very different gear than a group that has DPS that let him get to 16 growths.
Last point. There aren't a whole lot of fights where it's just sit there and whack away at the boss while the healers heal you.
There was nothing about my play or my gear that was going to change 3 healers getting owned by a shatter, or a Hunter using Arcane Shot on Krosh.
It's not about YOU, it's about the team.

During that initial appearance, Judge Taylor set Johnson's bond at $100,000 and he remains in custody at the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility in Cleveland.
"Ceasar Johnson III was picked up and formally charged with murder on Friday," said Gerald Wesley Jr. chief deputy for the sheriff's department.
The investigation began when a call came into the 911-dispatcher in the late evening hours of Nov. 1.
The caller, an apparent resident at the apartment complex, said to authorities that an automobile had run into one of the buildings.
Bolivar County Sheriff Kelvin Williams Sr. said that the Rosedale Police Department was dispatched to the scene and immediately contacted the sheriff's department.
"When we arrived on the scene, we found Johnson's body in the front seat of his vehicle," said Williams. "Our initial thoughts were that there had been some kind of confrontation and Johnson had put the car in gear attempting to flee when he was shot. The car likely was put in reverse and rolled into the building."
An investigation collaborated investigation ensued which led to the arrest of Johnson III.
Williams said that even though an arrest in this case has been made, local law enforcement still need the aid of county residents to keep the streets of Bolivar County safe.
"As always we are asking the people of Bolivar County to come forward," said Williams. "We continue to need the help of citizens to solve crimes. I would like to personally encourage anyone who may have information on this, or any other, crime to contact the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department at 843-5378 or the Cleveland-Bolivar County chapter of CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS."

Water resources play an essential, yet often overlooked, role in sustaining economic prosperity and environmental health in our seven-county region. CMAP led development of Water 2050, the official water supply/demand plan for northeastern Illinois, and is also the delegated authority of the region's Area Water Quality Management Plan.
Web Content Display
Though Lake Michigan provides clean and affordable water, the lake's capacity to serve the region's need is restricted by law. Other groundwater dependent parts of the region face less certain supplies over the long term, water quality challenges, and environmental side effects in some locales from over pumping. Thus, conservation and efficient use of water is a top priority for GO TO 2040.
GO TO 2040 recommends a number of actions to better conserve and manage water resources, including a variety of water conservation measures such as using more efficient appliances in homes or using full cost water pricing by utilities. Water conservation goals should be integrated with land use planning, including preservation of open space in aquifer recharge areas and using green infrastructure to manage stormwater, among other activities. Shifting groundwater dependent communities to surface water supplies and consolidating some of the region's water utilities is also recommended by GO TO 2040. CMAP's role in planning for water resources is linked to implementation of the Water 2050 plan, which was produced in 2010 in conjunction with the Regional Water Supply Planning Group. It is the official water supply/demand plan for an 11-county planning area -- the CMAP region of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will, along with Boone, DeKalb, Grundy, and Kankakee counties.

There is so much I can relate to in this post – buying a house when real estate was at it's prime, spending many hours on home renovations and gardening. Our garden also has some special places where we like to go and reflect – red rose bushes planted over our first dear cat Samba, and of course Jasper's little corner with a Japanese Maple surround by perennials.
You have some gorgeous flowers in your garden and I especially love Lucy's stunning pink rose! Your cupcakes look beautiful too!

Hi Vaishali,
How did these cupcakes taste without frosting?
Also with the given proportion, I believe I can make 9X9 inch square cake. How much baking time would you recommend?
Vaishali Honawar says
They taste fabulous without the frosting. But if you want to bake a cake I'd recommend my banana cake recipe.
Anonymous says
This turned out great!! I had 2 overripe bananas.. made the batter, put it in the muffin trays and froze it overnight. Baked it today morning and the kids got to eat muffins for breakfast..Didn't have time to make the frosting, but was wondering if you had any ideas to incorporate peanut butter into the batter itself?
Vaishali Honawar says
Ambica, that's wonderful! If you wanted to add the peanut butter to the recipe, you might try replacing the coconut oil with an equal amount of peanut butter and 2 tbsp of applesauce. Whisk them together well and then add.
Ellen Lederman says
I need to be roasting some beets, but I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you for this recipe. Wonderful! Loved the frosting, although I just spread it on flat since I transport these to have at Starbucks. My only tweak was to make 1/3 of the flour whole wheat flour so I wouldn't feel so guilty about having all white flour. It probably made them just a little drier. So good!
I sometimes forget about your blog—but thanks to this recipe, it will now be a regular visit!
The flower photos are glorious!
Vaishali Honawar says
Hi Ellen, so happy to hear you liked these. Thanks for the feedback and your kind words.
Karen White says
I'm two weeks into a vegan diet, and I was thrilled that these came out as delicious as they looked. Thank you so much for this recipe; especially during this transition, it is such a relief to find treats like these that even a committed omnivore would love.
Tibik says
Hi Vaishali,
I tried the variation with the peanut butter in the batter and wanted to report back. It was very good – Nutty and the added saltiness from the peanut butter provided a wonderful contrast.
Vaishali Honawar says
Hi Ambica, so happy you liked it. Thanks for letting me know!
abc says
Can we substitute canola oil for coconut oil?
Vaishali says
Mukta, it should be fine for the cupcakes although might be runny in the frosting.
I'm Vaishali and I live in Washington, D.C. with my husband Desi and our kids Opie (dog) and Jay (human). There's always something cooking here so stop by often. And enjoy your visit! Read More…

Sitting Waiting Wishing: The Zen of Miller Park Drunk
Baseball July 28th, 2009
The Brewers should win today. We're playing the Pirates.
The Brewers should turn it around today.
The Brewers are going to make a move to get better.
The Brewers should win today. We're playing the Nationals.
The Brewers should be making a trade today.
And so on. It's starting to feel like all I do is wait on the Brewers. Since the All-Star break they are 4-7 despite playing only one team with a winning record. They are below .500 and four games behind the Cubs. The Cubs, people. I'm just about as easygoing when it comes to this team as a person can be. Suppan gives up 5 runs against the Pirates in 3.1 innings? That's okay, we'll score seven. I know it. Then we do and then we lose. Dave Bush isn't coming back? That's okay we'll go out and make a trade. Only we don't. We're 4-6 since the All-Star break and at .500? That's okay, the Nationals are coming to town. Then Josh Willingham hits two grand slams. And honestly, I got a bit shook for a moment. I actually said things like "if they don't win this game, it's over". I started to go through my tickets and tried to figure out if I could break even selling the rest of them. I was on the verge of giving up IN JULY which is so ridiculous and unlike me that I had to sit myself down and tell myself to relax. Then I gave myself two Ambien and called myself in the morning.
Look, I don't know what the team should do. Well, actually I do. They should put together a winning streak. Stay close. Win the next 5 games against the Nationals and Padres (or at least 4 of them). The August schedule is ridiculously easy. After the Dodgers, the best team they play is the Astros (despite the better record their run differential is terrible). Other than that it's the Pirates, Padres, Nationals and Reds. This is the time. Win these games. Then find out what you're made of in September when they play 13 games against the Cubs and Cardinals. That's when we'll know if this team can do it, but to get to that point they have to beat these easier teams. Stop making the Nationals and Pirates look like the Yankees and Red Sox. They have to have a good August. It's not over yet, despite what the record or the numbers might tell you. Looking at the schedule the Brewers should be favored in 27 of the next 30 games so anyone who says the Brewers should be sellers at the deadline clearly doesn't know how to read a schedule.
So I am not going to freak out. I am not going to say that the team needs to make a trade or get rid of this guy or that guy. I am not going to call for anyone's head. I am just going to continue to sit and wait and wish and things should even out so that they're ready to do something when September rolls around. That's when things matter and that's my advice to you dear fan. Relax. We still got a long way to go and the road to get there is pretty smooth all through August. Now if you'll excuse me I am going to drink a six pack and do some yoga.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Increasing desire is one thing but does AS actually have the capability

Somali militants aiming to attack abroad: CIA chief
WASHINGTON (Sh. M. Network) - Al-Qaeda linked militants who control much
of Somalia are looking to extend their operations and carry out attacks
abroad, CIA chief Leon Panetta will tell US lawmakers Thursday.
'The threat from Al-Shebab to the US and Western interests in the Horn
of Africa and to the US homeland is significant and on the rise,'
Panetta says in written responses to the Senate Armed Services
Panetta is to attend Thursday's hearing as the Senate considers his
nomination to be the next secretary of defense to replace Robert Gates.
'Al-Shebab leaders, who have claimed affiliation with Al-Qaeda since
2007, are developing ties with Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and
are showing an increasing desire to stage international terrorist
attacks in addition to their acts of violence inside Somalia,' he says
in his written text, a copy of which was obtained by AFP Wednesday.
Panetta was nominated on April 28 by President Barack Obama to replace
Gates who retires on June 30. His nomination has to be confirmed by the
'Al-Shebab employs several hundred foreign fighters and regularly tries
to recruit fighters from Somali diaspora communities in the United
States and Europe,' Panetta writes.
As the Islamist movement, which controls much of Somalia and a large
part of the capital Mogadishu, 'faces increasing international pressure,
we may see the group increase its international attacks,' he warns.
The Shebab carried out its first attack outside Somali territory in July
2010 when it claimed a double bombing in which 79 people died in
Panetta warned that Somalia, which has had no effective government since
dictator Siad Barre was deposed in 1991, could become a new haven for
Al-Qaeda, whose leader Osama bin Laden was killed in a US commando raid
on May 2.
'As Al-Qaeda undergoes leadership changes and regroups from
counterterrorism operations in Pakistan, we need to ensure that it does
not relocate its center of operations to Somalia,' Panetta says.

'DO YOU THINK there's a possibility that this time it'll be different?"
This is a question that lingers heavily in the air as so many of us wonder, with still-aching hearts, whether there's any chance in the wake of the Newtown tragedy that at long last America will deal forcefully with the issue of gun violence.
Much of the attention surrounding this question will center in the nation's capitol. But communities and families across America are looking for ways to do something ... anything that might contribute to making the answer a resounding "Yes."
Here in Marin, with the leadership of District Attorney Ed Berberian and the Marin Board of Supervisors, one such small step has been initiated. Similar to successful programs elsewhere, Marin law enforcement agencies are joining to offer a gun "buyback" program in which residents can turn in guns in return for a small cash stipend.
On behalf of its founding donors, Dr. and Mrs. Leonard Buck, the Marin Community Foundation is contributing $10,000 in support of this effort.
In addition, one of the wonderful donor families of the foundation, Keith and Leslie Blodgett, have recommended a grant, also for $10,000, from their philanthropic fund in support of this effort.
The buyback program is a small initiative, but one with large symbolism. America has a long and sad history of being too timid or too opposed to taking any action, no matter how limited or how reasonable, in recognition of the fact that we stand alone among developed nations in the devastating number of lives, families and communities ravaged by gun violence.
Neither this program, nor the myriad recommendations likely to come from Vice President Joseph Biden's task force, have any chance of being a panacea. But since the roots of gun violence run deep and wide, a high value must be placed on each individual effort.
And maybe, just maybe, one of the guns turned in later this month will be the gun not available in a bed stand during a domestic dispute. Or maybe it will be the gun not in a hallway closet during a child's playtime.
Then we'll know that one of the things that's different this time around is a precious life not lost.
Clearly, the "buyback" program is the proverbial pebble thrown into a large lake. But if these tiny ripples can join with those from other pebbles, maybe, just maybe, there could be a wave of public opinion demanding that the answer is "Yes, this time is different!"
Thomas Peters is president and CEO of the Marin Community Foundation.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Care to be buddies? It would be nice to add you as a buddy! Come see my profile page! Have a nice week! Ron
Congratulations on Earning over 3.34 million points, fantastic achievement. you are among the few committed buddies, who have really helped others save money on gas, over the years. You just don't get anymore new cars now. LOL... I would be honored to be your buddy. Thanks. Shep
"THE RICH KEEP GETTING RICHER AND ONE DAY..." There will NEVER be fairness and equality with the Democrats and Republicans in power.
Keep as active as you can....BTW, it's a volunteer ministry to help others...and shouldn't be a burden, BUT we'd love to hear from you on GasBuddy Inbox, not just on whiteboard!
Congratulations for being a gas buddy member for almost ten years and posting gas prices to help save money. Congratulations on earning 3.29 MM points. May 2014 bring you and yours peace and joy. Lets be buddies Thanks. Shep
One other thing is that the politicians, both Democrats and Republicans at the top are among the top 3% and they really don't have any concern to share of their own wealth, otherwise they would. Joe Biden is a good example in that he made $150k in one year and gave away a measly $300. Talk about greed and many feel he's so great. NONE of them are at the top, or rather only a handful are. I don't like the left as they're great at giving away money out of the pockets of others and making it crumbs to the poor while wasting money in government and making their friends and supporters wealthier. The Republicans aren't any good as they do it, only to a lesser degree of waste, more to the wealthy, and less crumbs to the poor. We're screwed from either side.
generator, I'd be able to afford healthcare insurance, insurance on the vehicle, the fuel for it, eat properly and continue my education as I'd like. I'd even be able to put away a few dollars every week. Some people among the wealthiest in this country are so out of touch that they believe that $20k is middle class for an individual; that's far from the truth. The politicians are NOT any better, not Democrats or Republicans for that matter,, otherwise they'd be all over the minimum wage being raised to $10 an hour. It would only benefit everyone and the government as well in this country if they did.
Well, yes, you're quite right. I'm almost in favor of it being forced upon them at this point just because of their greed. I'm not in favor of it being just say, given away, though a slight bit more to the poor; but mainly through higher wages. I don't have anything against anyone being successful, and I hope that everyone can be, but to be so damned greedy that you're making millions while some of the people in your company are only making $14,000 to $18,000 a year is utter nonsense. People making over $40,000 are generally out of touch with the reality of how it is for the poor and working class poor and lower middle class. I'm speaking of an individual making $40k, not a family. A family of just four making $40k is poor today. If I was making $40k a year, geez, I'd almost feel rich as I'd have a place of my own, a vehicle which I would have already modified to get somewhere between 12 to 44% better fuel efficiency, I'd have solar panels, a small wind turbine, a hydrogen power....
...would ALL be over $8 each. Most couldn't afford it. However, this would benefit quite a few people here at home, Canada, Europe, the Ukraine, etc. It won't benefit the politicians, oil and natural gas and energy industries, shipping, etc., only. But, they of course will make out the best.
"I don't see this connect at all! We need to take care of our middle class and the poor instead of sending natural gas over to anyone." Natural gas is at about $4.60 and they don't want it to be back down to $2.86 again or less. This will help to ensure it doesn't drop below say $3.20 ever again. The more they export, the more they make, the higher the prices are, etc. They want more money and they want us to pay more. That's Obama, most of his administration, the EPA, many Democrats, quite a few Republicans, extreme environmentalists [mind you, I'M A GREENIE, or a TREE-HUGGER!, but I'm a REALIST first and foremost and I don't want to pay $5 for a loaf of bread or more or the same or more for a gallon of gas. That doesn't NEED to happen to get us to go greener.], Big Oil, OPEC, etc. They WANT gas to be $5 a gallon and more, even up the the $14 a gallon mark. At $14 a gallon, milk, bread and a dozen eggs...

Portable Radios for On-The-Go Listening
Music lovers on the go would not be caught without their portable radios. Today radios are far more advanced than the old style big transistor radios many grew up with decades ago. Radios go anywhere and are available in many sizes, from credit card dimensions to giant boom boxes with large stereo speakers to pump up the party. Brand names like Sony, Cobra and Motorola have always meant high quality radio products; they are leaders in the field of radio production.
People on the go have many choices to make. They can select a basic AM/FM combination radio or one with a DVD player. Small radios play cassette tapes or compact discs, in addition to having a radio receiver. Travelers want portable clock radios to maintain their routine schedules while on the road. Two way radios are found at many businesses, aiding communications with travelling workers and sales representatives. CB and other mobile radios may also contain a GPS locator unit. Uniden, Motorola, Sharp and other manufacturers are still among the best names in the world of mobile radio.
Smaller is better for some people. One of the smallest portable radio devices is not a radio, but a portable USB Internet radio jukebox that allows computer users to access 13,000 radio stations worldwide. Tiny pocket-sized portable radios with ear buds travel all over with bicyclists and joggers. Schoolchildren cannot resist the temptation to sneak portable radios into class and listen secretly. Sony, Coby, Aluratek and Cobra all have pocket-sized radios on the market that are powerful receivers.
Talking radios that announce the time are featured in some children's alarm clocks. Time, temperature, and talk are featured on many portable Sony AM/FM radios; stereo speakers enhance FM broadcast sound quality. Craftsman and other manufacturers make high quality portable weather radios. With larger model portable radios, sometimes called boom boxes, speakers can blast out with enough power to star at any party on the go. Larger model portable radios may also have TV, CB, DVD or MP3 players and emergency alerts for weather warnings. Emergency services want radios that can broadcast, transmit, light up and even have shortwave or other broadcast band capabilities.
Digital technology has brought radio technology up to new heights at the same time. Invest in a new portable radio for home, work or to give as a gift. See all the models online in the Sears Computers and Electronics, Portable Electronics Radios catalog today.

As of Wednesday, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit gave judgment in the case of Dextric Williams vs. the city of Cleveland, Taser International, Incorporated, Stanley Perry and Bryan Goza.
At around 3:18 a.m. on July 23, 2010, Goza and Perry were on duty and called out to a complaint of people loitering in the 700 block of Cross Street.
During the conversations, a bag of suspected cocaine was found on top of one of the vehicles where the individuals were standing.
As is normal procedure, the officers asked for everyone's identification. One particular individual gave the officers several false names.
Another person, later identified as Jermaine Williams, grabbed the bag of suspected cocaine and ran.
An officer pursued him and finally caught up with Williams at Lucy Seaberry Boulevard and Cross Street.
Williams would not comply and continued to resist the officer.
The officer then deployed his Taser on Williams.
Even then, according to a statement by Cleveland Police Chief Charles "Buster" Bingham shortly after the incident, Williams was still combative and actually tried to take the Taser from the officer.
A second officer then arrived and Williams received a second Taser deployment.
Other officers made it to the scene at which time they had to physically pull Williams' arms out from under him.
He was cuffed and officers noticed that he was having medical difficulties and then he lapsed into unconsciousness.
EMS was called and Williams was transported to Bolivar Medical Center where he later died.
At the time, the Bolivar County coroner said that all preliminary autopsy reports showed that Williams had cocaine in his urine and alcohol in his blood.
The two officers were suspended after the incident and then later, after an investigation, returned to their jobs.
While one of those officers has since gone to another department, the other remains with the Cleveland Police Department.
Williams' family filed a civil suit on Oct. 1, 2012, seeking $25 million for loss of society and companionship, present net cash value of Williams' life expectancy, loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, medical bills or expenses and funeral expenses.
In official court documents filed Wednesday, Judge Sharon Aycock said Dextrick Williams "fails to introduce any evidence apart from conclusory allegations," and "we agree with the district court that: given the circumstances in this case, where Williams fled the scene with drugs in hand, was non-compliant, was warned about being tased and ignored the warning, remained unfazed after being tased and physically struggled with both individual defendant officers, the court is unable to say the force used was excessive."
Bingham was reluctant to discuss the issue because of the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the case and city attorney Jamie Jacks had not returned phone calls as of presstime.

There was a change to the *TEST channel data in Doctor J's info from 2/24.
All of the *TEST channels now have a # associated with them. The actual data is in the format ... for 9789: "tv:4260.ch".
There's 70, D10 has 70, D12 should have 80
The original was 2/20 and because of null data from TPN 5, a reload was done on 2/24. The channel associations are on the 2/24 data.
Hopefully info will come to light soon.

Yeah the fact that we are getting plastic Lovecraftian critters is the icing on top of this cool looking cake! So looking forward to this one!
Posted 17 September 2010 - 07:13 AM
Looks awesome indeed ^^
Surely I ll get it, as I love that kind of games/minis/H.P.Lovecraft =)

I think daddy just found what he wants the kids to get him for Christmas!
Posted 17 September 2010 - 07:23 AM
Yep, I have a seriously long list of games that I want and now this has jumped to the top.
Looks beautiful and that each game has a specific plot and theme that many complain that Arkham Horror lacks.
Merry Christmas to me.
Posted 17 September 2010 - 07:40 AM
I absolutely love Arkham Horror, but something about Mansions of Madness is a bit off-putting. The map tiles look kinda lame in their faux-realist approach. Nah, they are not kitsch, nor cartoonish but close. I am 100% buying the game as soon as it is out. Hopefully my fears will prove wrong.
Posted 17 September 2010 - 08:51 AM
Absolutely getting this game, Arkham Horror gets the most play with my group, and this looks like it will offer a nice change.
Posted 17 September 2010 - 08:53 AM
It does look cool. As I mentioned in the Arkham Horror forum, I wonder if they will do a cross promotion of characters and include character sheets for all games in the Arkham-universe, just as they started with the new characters in DungeonQuest by providing character sheets for all games in the Terrinoth setting.
Posted 17 September 2010 - 10:19 AM
I am definitely purchasing this one.

This really does look very cool. I'm very interested. Actually, I'm pretty much sold.
I really do want to see the manual. Hopefully it wont be too long before FFG posts it.
This news really made my day

I'm on the fence about this one, personally. I don't feel the need for a new Cthulu game in my own collection, nor do I particularly want another Me vs Them game. The figs, however, do look snazzy. Painted or not, they might cause me to take a few longing glances at this game on the store shelves...
Posted 18 September 2010 - 03:24 AM
I think it looks nice, but I would really have preferred a more co-op oriented game.
Posted 18 September 2010 - 05:52 AM
This game sounds REALLY exciting!!!
I must have misunderstood the description wrong, but it sounds to me like 1-4 players play cooperatively against the 1 on his own always, right?

Then it would be Arkham Horror. This is the game for those that want a little more of a competitive feel. Plus, if you want to be on the co-op side, you can still be an investigator and let someone else who wants to be competitive be the keeper. I love (let me repeat that, LOVE) AH. It's been my first and favorite board game for years, but I'm really happy to see something new come out under the apparently new category, Arkham Horror Files. I've never played Descent or Doom, but I've always wanted to. The problem is, I only buy a game when I can muster interest in it first, and I have a very picky group of friends. So, alas, I haven't picked those up, but Mansions of Madness looks like it's close enough in play style that I'll kind of get my wish, and they'll get to enjoy more Lovecraftian goodness. Maybe, just maybe, this will get them interested in Descent or Doom.
Posted 19 September 2010 - 02:40 AM
I am very excited about this game. When I heard they were releasing a new CoC board game my first thoughts were something along the lines of DOOM or DESCENT with a Lovecraft theme. That was my first choice and this seems fit the bill. I love the card game, love Arkham Horror and can't wait for this game to hit the shelves. I was extremely excited about the AH painted minis and went right out and bought my own copy of the base game.
It would be great if FFG could figure out a tie in with AH. Hope the painted minis are compatible. Regardless I'm very happy about this release.
Good idea FFG, I hope the game is as good as the idea.
And what a nice tie in for the RPG.
Posted 19 September 2010 - 07:14 AM
I agree.
Worst case, this product gives you a TON of material for the RPG. Best case, it's a great lite RPG that allows for quicker play and easier pickup between games. It reminds me a bit of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay as well as Decent.
I'm also excited with the "Arkham Horror Files" label. It's be great to see more lovecaftian games coming out.
I've been saying for YEARS that I'd love to see FFG do a CoC RPG, MAYBE I'll get my wish someday....
Posted 20 September 2010 - 05:42 AM
Sure looks like we're heading towards an FFG take over of CoC doesn't it?
They could do worse.
I'm hopeful there will be expansions with new investigators/monsters/scenarios.
I love the whole concept of this game. It would also be nice if the painted minis were compatible but that's not a deal breaker for me either way. I"ll buy this game AND the painted minis. I was very upset with FFG when they appeared to back up on the painted minis concept.
I'm glad to see it back and I'm beside myself with impatience for this game to be released.

Wal-Mart's produce buyers will increasingly rate suppliers' sustainability efforts when deciding where to purchase fresh produce and other food.
Speaking in Bentonville, Ark., at Wal-Mart's inaugural Sustainable Product Expo, Jack Sinclair, executive vice president for the chain's grocery division, said Wal-Mart is determined to support systems that produce more food on with less resources.
To do so, the chain is using its Sustainability Index to make purchasing decisions.
"We're totally committed to the Sustainability Index, we're very excited about the work going forward," he said during the expo, featured in an online video.
Sinclair said Wal-Mart buys 1 billion pounds of bananas every year now and in five years may up that total to 2 billion. Potato purchases now total 900 million pounds, and that is also expected to double within five or six years, he said.
The Sustainability Index is one way the company is supporting a more efficient food supply, he said. In use since 2009, the index involves a 20-question survey. About 20% of Wal-Mart's food suppliers have taken the survey, Sinclair said.
The list of products covered in the index is online. Apples, packaged salad, grapes, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, onions, cucumbers, berries and citrus are listed.
Brenda Briggs, vice president of marketing for Rice Fruit Co., Gardners, Pa., said the company has participated in the survey for several years. Briggs said she believes Wal-Mart considers sustainability one of several factors they use in choosing suppliers.
"It is part of the conversation and part of the partnership," she said.
Wal-Mart isn't the only retailer emphasizing sustainability.
"Suppliers are asked to participate at a much higher level now, not just growing a product and selling it — it is sustainability, it is food safety and ethical responsibility," she said. "They have been a leader in that but many of our other customers are asking the same kinds of questions and seeking the same kind of transparency from suppliers."
In his comments at the expo, Sinclair said agriculture needs to increase food production efficiency and reduce the use of fertilizers and pesticides.
That also will reduce costs and reduce prices for consumers, he said.
Sinclair cited the improved performance of tomato suppliers in the past three years, rising from 39% in 2012 to 41% in 2013 to 52% in 2014.
Buyers are using sustainability as a fundamental part of how they source their products.
Overall, Sinclair said produce suppliers score 28% on the scale,
Sinclair said the index allows the chain to look at sourcing in a consistent way. He cited a recent trip to Peru.
"When we consider (whether we) should be buying blueberries from Peru — what is the carbon footprint, what is the impact across the board — the neat thing about the index is that allows us to compare one with the other."

The first in-depth look at Lance Armstrong's doping scandal, the phenomenal business success built on the back of fraud, and the greatest conspiracy in the history of sports
Lance Armstrong won a record-smashing seven Tours de France after staring down cancer, and in the process became an international symbol of resilience and courage. In a sport constantly dogged by blood-doping scandals, he seemed above the fray. Then, in January 2013, the legend imploded. He admitted doping during the Tours and, in an interview with Oprah, described his "mythic, perfect story" as "one big lie." But his admission raised more questions than it answered—because he didn't say who had helped him dope or how he skillfully avoided getting caught.
The Wall Street Journal reporters Reed Albergotti and Vanessa O'Connell broke the news at every turn. In Wheelmen they reveal the broader story of how Armstrong and his supporters used money, power, and cutting-edge science to conquer the world's most difficult race. Wheelmen introduces U.S. Postal Service Team owner Thom Weisel, who in a brazen power play ousted USA Cycling's top leadership and gained control of the sport in the United States, ensuring Armstrong's dominance. Meanwhile, sponsors fought over contracts with Armstrong as the entire sport of cycling began to benefit from the "Lance effect." What had been a quirky, working-class hobby became the pastime of the Masters of the Universe set.
Wheelmen offers a riveting look at what happens when enigmatic genius breaks loose from the strictures of morality. It reveals the competitiveness and ingenuity that sparked blood-doping as an accepted practice, and shows how the Americans methodically constructed an international operation of spies and revolutionary technology to reach the top. It went on to become a New York Times Bestseller, a Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller, and win numerous awards, including a Gold Medal for the Axiom Business Book Awards. At last exposing the truth about Armstrong and American cycling, Wheelmen paints a living portrait of what is, without question, the greatest conspiracy in the history of sports.
—Los Angeles Times
"A chilling tale, and many of the anecdotes Albergotti and O'Connell collected sound like they were actually crafted in a TV-drama writers' room."
—The Atlantic
"Reed Albergotti and Vanessa O'Connell uncovered plenty more shocking details about the full extent of Armstrong's drug use as well as the many people and institutions that helped him."
—The Daily Beast
"The most comprehensive book on the subject … a colorful and thorough retelling."
—USA Today
"Captivating . . . a level-headed view of the culture and business of cycling."
—The Economist
"The book is rich in details, facts, and figures."
—Velo News
"Wheelmen is all the truth-and-reconciliation the sport needs."
—The Philadelphia Review of Books
"The only thing ever missing was the truth. In Wheelmen, we get it."
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"A detailed account of Armstrong's eventual descent into disgrace."
—The Guardian (UK)
"The definitive book on Armstrong."
—The Montreal Gazette

Indiana State Police discovered 40 pounds of khat in a Jasper County traffic stop Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013. | Indiana State Police photo

A traffic stop in Jasper County along Interstate 65 sent two people to jail Tuesday after state police discovered 40 pounds of khat worth about $20,000.
Khat is a flowering plant that is mostly grown in Africa. It has a shelf life of about two weeks before it starts to lose its potency. Users usually chew it for the stimulant-euphoric effect it has, police said.
The arrests unfolded as Senior Trooper Fred Trammel and Probationary Officer Brandon Urquidi stopped a 2012 Toyota Corolla for a traffic violation on I-65 southbound about two miles south of the Winamac/Fair Oaks exit.
Trammel walked his K-9 partner Ryker around the vehicle. Ryker alerted on the trunk area. A search of the Toyota revealed a bed sheet in the trunk covering bundles of khat.
The driver, Derald T. Pike, 28 of Bolingbrook, Ill., and his passenger, Walter T. Stevenson, 31 of Chicago, were taken to Jasper County Jail and charged with dealing a Schedule 1 drug and possession of a controlled substance.
The Lake County Sheriff's Department assisted in the arrests.
