nobody really cares about south east asia. i mean some people do, of course, but for U.S. society at large, its just like, what the fuck even is south east asia?
today i made a refrence to cambodia ot one of my friends, and they were like, cambodia? so i explained, that cambodia was part of southe east asia. there response was to the accord of "doesn't all of south east asia belong to australia or china?" its fucking weird to me, a relativley geographicley savvy person. i mean how can an entire region of the world be completley outside of the conscious of so many people? and i mean, we had a flippin bleed war in vietname only a few decades ago. surley we would remember where vietname bloody well is.
of course, no one know where iraq/afghanistan/iran are either, and thousands of our troops and local innocent civialians are dying in those places. no one knows where syria is, and that country is being torn apart by revolution and goverment retaliation.
a while back, there was this giant 'Kony 2012' thing, meant to help children in uganda. how many of those people who went hysterical over it at first, about how we need to stop kony, still have passion about it. i dont know about most places, but in my school there was about 5 days where people made a big deal about kony. everyone had on the wristbands for it, and wrote 'stop kony' on their arms, and there were even talks of settign up a 'anti kony assemble'. but after a week, i never heard mention of the bastard again. i every lost their drive so fast, its like they had this massive explosion of emotion, that burned hot and fierce, but also burned quick, and was out before they knew what happened. no one could be bothered for more then a week. people say americans are apethitic, but i dont agree. we burn fast and hard. we get crazy about something, for a short time, and we scream and kick and scratch and bite about whetever it is, but ultimatley we get tired out and stop once the first feelings of even the most minescule of inconviecnes arises. americans care deeply, we are an emotion driven people. the problem is we burn out to quickley, if we could sustain interest in things, maybe we would be able to get shit done.
dont burn hot and bright and short, my children, burn with a zeal that can be sustained forever.
I know what the continents look like and the general places (europe, asia, the americas, etc) but I don't always know where each country is, just the general area of it. So like I can know Vietnam is in Asia, but not always WHERE it exactly is. My brain has no need nor interest to remember that, so I don't.
That's redick!
I don't know how to describe it, it's like "I don't know whether to laugh or cry", because really, I don't.
Yeah, right. Kony? Who's that? Oh, child soldiers and shit that he's using?
But it's all just black people right? Or maybe brown people? Same thing, really, it doesn't matter.
Osama Bin Laden?! THAT FUCKER, HE ATTACKED US HERE IN 'MERICA! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DANCE AND FUCK ON HIS GRAVE THAT BASTARD HAHAHAHA!!!.
Kony was forgotten about in a few weeks, but Osama Bin Laden, we remembered him for 10 years and never stopped looking for him, because he killed 'mericans! 3000 of them? So what if Kony uses a few black child soldiers and has led to years of civil war and insurgency?
Who do you think is going to be the next international villain we have a fad about hating, then forget about? I think my money's on Joaquin Gusman, the Mexican drug lord of the Sinaloa Cartel, he's been first on the list of the World's most wanted since Bin Laden was killed.
Not that anything will really happen.
Or what about Aung San Suu Kyi? The Gandhi/Nelson Mandela of today? Does anyone even know who she is?
She's spent 15 of the last 21 years in house arrest in Burma as the opposition leader, fighting for democracy, and finally, winning. Once again, just brown people, what about us 'mericans?
When I think Southeast Asia, I tend to think of Indonesia, Philipines, et cetera.
Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, probably a couple of others.... South of China, east of India, north of Indonesia. Don't know anything about what's going on there right now except that Thailand is the best off, but then again I don't know much about what's going on anywhere right now. I definitely want to go to Thailand someday, or maybe others.
I'd say I know about as much about Southeast Asia as about anywhere else I haven't been.
I didn't even hear about the Kony thing until after it had kind of blown over and everybody else already knew about it. Not sure how that happened. I do tend to be very clueless about what's going on right now.
About the Kony thing, it's a little effect I call "the first world guilt." Let me explain:
Those, in first world countries, have many things others in under-privileged don't have like clean water, public education, a good house. So when they see a protest or movement growing that is meant to help these poor people, they join so they can think they're doing something good for others, so that they can seem to be like if they're good people. All they do is sign a petition on the internet and voila! You just helped someone.
P.s using children in wars has been going on for a long time, it's not something new. Hitler was the first to use children when he became desperate and it was clear he was going to lose.
i would say that it is a practice almost as old as war.
"A loving man and woman in a committed relationship can marry. Dogs, no matter what their relationship, are not allowed to marry. How should society treat gays and lesbians in committed relationships? As dogs or as humans?"

Unison workers will be among those going on strike on Thursday. Photo: Bill Smith
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Council services will be affected tomorrow because of trade union strike action.
The industrial action has been called by Unison over a pay cap of 1pc for public sector workers, introduced by the government in 2012.
Members of the National Union of Teachers and the GMB trade union are also taking part tomorrow. Health workers are not on strike.
Simon Case, lead convenor for the Norfolk Unison branch, said there would be a picket line at the North Norfolk District Council office on Holt Road, Cromer, and people would notice a significant reduction of council services.
The council development committee meeting, due to be held tomorrow, has been called off because of the strike.

The private sector has been squeezed for just as long. Why should the public sector be treated any differently? Our country is up to its neck in debt.

They need the money to let out their panto costumes for the new season, as they've all been overdoing it a bit on ice creams during the summer. How working class and union-ey is the photographers name, by the way!
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Some of this lot should try being self employed. They don't know how lucky they are to have secure, well paid jobs with full holiday entitlement.
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Man of the people Nigel Farage wants MPs to have a pay rise while screwing the workers like these council staff members. One rule for him, another for others. How is the economy going to thrive if wages continue to fall in real terms?
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
This just proves how much sense the unions have, so they expect us to pay more community charge to give them a pay rise. On the other hand if they want a pay rise the council could just sack some of the staff to make it happen, just hope it's the shop stewards they sack first. Every time these idiots go on strike it costs the public a fortune, they should be grateful that they have a job and no doubt a massive pension.

View Report Details
Development of sensitive and robust mass spectrometric methods for detection of GM material in food ingredients.
Project Code: G01023
School of Biological Sciences, Royal Holloway, University of London
Bramley, P
Aims and Objectives
The project's principal aim was to test the feasibility of using mass spectrometry (MS) to identify the GM proteins found in the most common GM crops, i.e. soya, maize and tomato. It was also designed to establish if the technique would be sensitive enough to detect GM food at the levels required by the EU (0.9%). The precise objectives were:
- Production and digestion of recombinant GM proteins to obtain accurate masses of GM biomarker peptides.
- Optimisation of protein extraction from GM and non-GM soya, maize and tomato.
- Protein digestion and peptide separation conditions for GM proteins/peptides in soya, maize and tomato.
- Mass spectrometry of GM peptides using MALDI-TOF and ESI MS/MS.
- Assessment of the detection sensitivity in GM food products.
- Feasibility study for the use of ion trap mass spectrometry as an alterative to MALDI and ESI MS/MS.
The experimental approach used a combination of traditional biochemical techniques for protein purification hyphenated with state of the art MS to detect and identify the GM proteins in soya, maize and tomato. Once this was achieved, spiked foods were tested for these GM proteins, using MS, and also quantified the amounts of these proteins in the foods quantified. The limits of sensitivity were also established in each case. Three types of MS were compared for their applicability to identify and quantify GM proteins: ion trap MS matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) MS and nanoelectrospray ionisation quadrupole time-of-flight (nano ESI-QTOF) MS. Finally, quantification was established using both amine-specific labelling reagents (iTRAQ) and stable isotope labelled peptides (AQUA).
Experimental approach
The GM soya and maize proteomes were fractionated by gel filtration, anion exchange chromatography and SDS-PAGE prior to MS. The protein fractions enriched in EPSPS were combined and subjected to proteolysis using trypsin, endoprotease AspN and Glu-C. The resultant peptides were subjected to each of the three MS techniques and peptides identified by comparison to databases. Once identified, we prepared spiked samples of bread, Pot Noodle and sausages to establish if the EPSPS could be detected in foods as well as in raw materials. In addition, quantification was determined by the use of two technologies; aminespecific labelling reagents (iTRAQ) and stable isotope labelled peptides (AQUA). Transgenic tomatoes, with the CrtI (phytoene desaturase) transgene were analysed for the present of the CRTI protein by MS procedures
Key findings
We have established that MS can detect, identify and quantify GM proteins in GM soya, maize and tomato. It can also be used to detect the GM proteins in food matrices such as sausages and bread. Overall, 75 % and 71% sequence coverage of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate- 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), the transgenic protein in soya and maize, was obtained using trypsin, endoprotease AspN and Glu-C protein digestions. The identification was also accomplished at <0.9 % GM soybean seeds, which is the current EU threshold for foodlabeling requirements. Preliminary semi purification of the proteomes was necessary in order to obtain fractions enriched in the GM protein in all cases.
Technical evaluation and interpretation
The analytical strategy was based on enzymatic digestion of the GM protein and its identification by mass spectrometry. However, enrichment of the transgenic protein in the extract was essential, since major storage proteins present in crude extracts suppressed its detection. The approach that yielded most efficient purification of CP4 EPSPS employed gel filtration and anion exchange chromatography, followed by SDS-PAGE. CP4 EPSPS peptide identification was obtained by MALDI-TOF MS, nano LC-nano ESI-QTOF MS and MS/MS and interrogation of protein sequence databases. The analytical approach was shown to identify the transgenic protein CP4 EPSPS from 0.9 % GM soybean seeds, which is the current European Union labelling threshold for GM food and crops. This method is scalable and offers the prospect to be adapted to other food matrices or to other transgenic proteins from different GM maize and soya preparations.

Imitation Vanilla Butter & Nut Extract
Our Imitation Vanilla, Butter and Nut Flavor is is a match for the flavor originally sold by Superior Products, which is very hard to find these days. This is one of the most versatile extracts you can have in your pantry. It can be used in any cake, cookie, pancake or pie recipe to add a combination vanilla, butter and nut flavor.
Silver Cloud's Imitation Vanilla, Butter and Nut Flavor is not just for baking. Try it in your favorite ice cream recipe or add it to your coffee. Our flavor contains water, propylene glycol, artificial flavor, gum tragacanth (a natural thickener), FD&C yellow #5, sodium benzoate (a preservative) and FD&C red #40. Like all our flavors and extracts, our Imitation Vanilla, Butter & Nut flavor is gluten-free.
Vanilla Butter & Nut Cake
This recipe is off the Superior Product Co. bottle. I have had many customers ask me for this recipe and I thought I would put it on the website.
½ cup vegetable shortening 2 sticks margarine 3 cups sugar 3 cups plain flour 1 cup sweet milk ¼ tsp. salt 6 eggs 3 tsp. Vanilla, Butter & Nut Flavor
Heat the oven 325 deg. Grease 10" tube pan and dust with flour. Cream shortening and margarine together - add sugar and salt gradually. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add flavor to milk and then add alternatively with flour to above mixture. Put into greased pan and bake at 325 deg. about 1 ½ hours until done.
Try other flavors too:
This cake is delicious and moist and is always a favorite with family and guests. You can adjust the amount of flavor to suit your individual taste and substitute other flavors for the vanilla, butter and nut. I have used this same recipe and substituted Silver Cloud's Imitation Maple Extract, Imitation Black Walnut Extract and Imitation Butter Pecan Extract for our Vanilla, Butter & Nut Flavor. When making the cake with these flavors I have typically used 2 tsp. of flavor, in lieu of the 3 tbsp. called for in the above recipe.
Silver Cloud is looking for retail outlets for its products. If you would like more information about carrying Silver Cloud's products, please click here.
Silver Cloud offers the finest cured Vanilla Beans, which can be purchased in glass tubes containing three beans or 8 ounce and 17 ounce vacuum sealed pouches.

A source claims that Marc hooked up with a stewardess aboard a private jet in 2009 — causing a huge rift with Jennifer!
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's marriage was in trouble long before they announced their breakup. Among the issues — Marc's alleged infidelity!
Not only would Marc go out without his wedding ring and flirt with women in clubs in NYC and Las Vegas — but he even reportedly went as far as to cheat on Jennifer with a flight attendant he met on a private plane two years ago!
"Marc and Jennifer almost split up over it," one source tells Us Weekly.
Another source adds, "Jennifer was going to leave him then, but Marc begged her to stay. They went to marriage counseling and she decided to give it another shot. He was someone she truly loved."
But it wasn't just the cheating that led to their split. Here are other reasons why!
He didn't trust her: "He couldn't stand her working around men who were remotely attractive unless he was there supervising," a source says.
He accused HER of cheating with her 'I'm Into You' video co-star William Levy: "Marc was extremely paranoid that she was having an affair with him and went crazy with jealousy and rage and screamed at Jennifer," the same source adds. "She told him she was absolutely not cheating, but Marc was so upset, he left the house for a few days."
He was controlling: "Marc has always been a dominating husband," an insider explains. "He wants to control everything Jennifer does, including her career."
His choices almost ruined her career: "Jennifer feels like she hit her lowest point careerwise because of Marc's decisions," a different source says. (It was his idea for the couple to co-star in the box office bomb El Cantante, which damaged J.Lo's image.)
He didn't accept no for an answer: "Marc was the king of bad decisions, but you couldn't say no to him or it would cause a big fight," an insider adds.
He took advantage of her insecurities: Us reports that Jennifer "actually has low self-esteem and Marc really played into that insecurity. That's why she put with with his abuse for a long time."
His parenting style was much different: "She's a really hands on mom — so loving and nurturing while he seemed to feel bothered by [their twins]," a family friend dishes.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers, should she have left him earlier?

Jennifer has been married before and in and out of relationships. It takes two to tangle. And let's face it, their marriage started with controversey. He left his wife and family to be with her. That means they both were cheating. When you begin a marriage under those circumstance, it will never last. They were doomed from the beginning.

Online ad revenues ground to a virtual a halt in Q3, with quarter-over-quarter gains of only 2 percent, according to according Price Waterhouse Cooper and the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
Revenues for the first nine months of 2008 totaled $17.3 billion, up from $15.2 billion last year. But the total growth in Q3 is only two percent more than the previous quarter's $5.7 billion.
No projections on 2009 which, from everything we hear anecdotally, is going to be a tough year.

Preventing Heatstroke in Pets
If your pet gets too much summer sun for his own good and his body temperature veers out of control, he could suffer a potentially fatal illness called heatstroke. Here are 5 ways you can keep this frightening outcome from occurring:
5 Things You Can Do to Prevent Pet Heatstroke
1. Keep that water bowl filled! Pets need ready access to fresh, reasonably cool water at all times, and never more so than during the summer months. Watch your pet's water bowl closely and top it off at regular intervals.
2. Keep your short-nosed pet indoors. If you own a brachycephalic or snub-nosed pet such as a Boston Terrier, keep him indoors during even moderately hot weather. These animals cannot cool themselves through the mouth and nose as efficiently as their longer-snouted friends.
3. Limit the car to human passengers. Your pet could easily suffer heatstroke and die if left alone in your car on a hot day. Cracking a window will not make a difference. Leave your pet at home unless you plan to let him out of the car at your destination.
4. Offer shade. Find or create some kind of structure that will offer shade from the sun as well as generous ventilation. A doghouse with a nice big entrance, or a special roof extension over the patio, will give your pet a place to go when things heat up.
5. Get rid the excess hair. If you wore a heavy fur coat on a 100-degree day, you would be prone to heatstroke too! A fashionable "lion cut," or shave can help your pet get relief and keep its internal temperature stable.
Emergency Help for Colorado Springs Pets
If your overheated pet suffers heatstroke despite your best precautions, wrap him in cool, damp towels and bring him to Yorkshire Veterinary Hospital immediately. Our on-site Colorado Springs veterinarian can provide prompt treatment for pet emergencies that come in during our normal office hours.
Call us at 719-598-3192 if you have questions about heatstroke.

Campaign themes
On his campaign website, Riley explains his beliefs in nine issues: [4]
- Goverment- "I am committed to the idea of limited Government, responsible Government and a Government that follows an original interpretation of the Constitution."
- Taxes - "I believe that governments should not spend more than they take in taxes. (excepting war and natural disasters)"
- Government policy - "I believe in governmental policies that promote free-market principles and protect Iowa workers and business from predatory and unfair practices that harm their market value. I do not believe in manipulating market value with laws that allow the ruling class or foreign nations to take wealth from the working class."
- Labor - "I believe that a person's Labor has both an economic value and a moral value. current "free trade" principles have ignored the moral value of American labor."
- Electoral process - "This flawed electoral process has also caused the "unhealthy political party monopoly" of institutions. The Labor Unions, Education system, Journalism and Churches to name a few."
- Education - "I am committed to the principle of public education. I am committed to charter schools as a solution to help our education system extricate itself from natural bureaucratic tendencies, and I believe property taxes are an unfair way to fund education."
- Budget - "I am committed to balanced budgets."
- Religion - "I believe in Religious tolerance and the free exchange of ideas and in "free will." I believe that criticism and critical examination of ideas and beliefs is essential to finding truth and a better society."
- Individual liberty - "My political philosophy if elected, is to legislate towards individual liberty and to protect the citizens of Iowa from visions of Utopian tyranny from both the right and left of the political parties."

I love corn but creamed corn was not a favorite… unless done just right. I still would like to figure out the secrete to a creamed corn I had once at a picnic. I never asked for the recipe and have never been able to duplicate it. However, this inspired me to come up with my own version. Roast the corn for some extra flavor.
I like to serve this with my Romaine Salad with Black Beans and a Lime Vinaigrette and my Spicy Chicken with a Roasted Poblano Cream Sauce (linked below)
- 1Pull the husks back and remove all the silk. Pull the husks back up and soak the ears in water for about 30 minutes. (I do mine right in the sink–much easier). Then grill the corn. If you don't have a grill Roast them in the oven at 425, it will work fine. Once the corn is lightly grilled, remove and let cool. Slice all the kernels off.
- 2In a large skillet add the butter and melt on medium high, then add the shallots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the roasted corn and mix well. Add the flour and mix until completely coated. Now add the broth until it makes a nice sauce.
- 3Add the cream, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and cook until the corn get creamy. Should take around 10 minutes. If necessary you can add more chicken stock or cream. Taste for seasoning.

He's Running! – A Guide To Foot Pursuits
"I've got a vehicle stopped at 5th and Mockingbird Lane. Driver just tossed something from the window. Request back up…He's running! I've got a runner!" Suddenly, the radio goes silent, but everyone knows exactly what's going on. They've all been there and done that.
The patrol officer was in the midst of a traffic stop when the driver decided to abandon his car and head for the hills, or wherever it is they think they can go to avoid an arrest. So, Officer I. M. Fast (Well, that's what's on his name tag) shoves the shift into park and takes off after the wiry, tennis shoe-clad thug. For the record, the runners are always young, thin, in shape, and wearing tennis shoes. It's never an easy-to-catch old fat guy in HushPuppies.
The foot pursuit is something that occurs on the spur of the moment. There's no time to think things through. No time to plan. No time to run through the mental checklist. No time to remind yourself to do important things, like tell someone which direction you're heading. Or even to think about routine things, like grabbing your portable radio from the charger. Yep, after twenty strides in total darkness the officer will also remember the flashlight he left lying on the passenger seat next to…dammit, he left his cellphone lying there, too! Therefore, besides the obvious, officers often find themselves alone in what can be a very dangerous situation. Why?
– Bad guys tend to bail out in familiar territory, meaning they know where they're going. And they often have friends in the area—friends who'll protect their buddies at all costs, even if that means hurting or killing a cop.
– Unless the officer is in great physical shape (how many older cops have you seen who could win a marathon?) he/she'll quickly become winded, possibly after only a couple of blocks. Sure, adrenaline will take you a few steps beyond your normal capacity, but not too much further. What that translates into is a cop who's sucking wind like an antique church organ when he does finally catch the suspect. And it's really difficult to restrain and cuff someone when you can't breathe.
– The officer is wearing a ton of gear and sometimes those goofy, shiny shoes. And let's not forget those spiffy bus driver hats. Think about it…could you run wearing all that? Why would you even want to run while wearing those cool duds?
So what should officers consider before taking the first step in pursuit of a runner?
– Why did the guy run? Is he wanted? Is he dangerous?
– Where are we? Is the area dangerous? What's around me? Who's around me?
– How far away is backup?
– Did I call for backup?
– What did the guy do? Is it even worth the chase?
– Am I healthy enough to do this?
– What's around the next corner?
– What's am I going to do with the guy when I catch him? Will I be able to manhandle him back to my patrol car?
– Why not call a canine unit and wait for them to arrive?
Even though any pursuit, foot or vehicle, can be unpredictable, there are are few things that are a bit predictable. Like…
Most suspects will make right turns (most people are right-handed). Therefore, when the officer reaches a dead end and needs to pick a direction, a right turn will probably be the correct choice.
The cool part of the right-turn habit is that IF the right-handed suspect is forced to make several left turns, his only option, then he'll soon stop to hide. Running counterclockwise is not natural to them. And…those same suspects are more apt to hide on the right side of a roadway (in the bushes, a ditch, the woods, etc.).
Wait, it gets better. If two suspects bail on you and they run in the same direction, the chase won't be a long one. Two guys almost always stop to hide before they get very far. So, if you catch one guy behind a stack of pallets, stay alert because his partner is probably laying low inside the nearby dumpster, under the rotten cabbage.
Oh, if the driver runs and the passenger remains in the car, forget the chase. Go for the guy in the car. He'll snitch. Besides, you've got the idiot's vehicle.
Lastly, lay off the doughnuts and hit the treadmill. Or, send the rookie after the guy. You can always follow them in your patrol vehicle…
Castle: Law and Murder – A Review
Well, another episode has come and gone. And this week Caskett (insert appropriate eye roll here) and crew spent the entire hour working a case involving a poisoned juror. Unfortunately, for those of us with investigative minds, the case and killer were pretty predictable. However, that's sometimes how it goes in the real world. But when I'm watching TV cops, I like to see a bit more twisting and turning before I know the identity of the killer. In this episode, I had him pegged as soon as he appeared on screen.
Okay, this review won't take long since there really wasn't a lot to talk about as far as police procedure, but, and you'd better sit down for this one, I have to point out a few good things about Lanie.
For the first time, or so it would seem, the writers did a little forensic homework. Therefore, Lanie actually sounded as if she'd at least walked across a med school campus at some point in her life. Here's what she had to say about the dead juror (Oh, and she waited until post autopsy to determine cause of death. Nice touch for a change).
– The guy died from cyanide poisoning, and Lanie made this determination using a color test (Cyantesmo test paper).
FYI – The strip is a preliminary test. The confirmation testing would be conducted by a toxicologist in a lab, not by the M.E. Still, it's a one-hour show, and they needed to get to the point, so they had Lanie report the finding (Of course, she could have said toxicology ran the test and reported to her, but…). Anyway, for the writers out there, Cyantesmo test paper is normally a pale green strip that turns blue in the presence of hydrocyanic acid. The finding is then confirmed using gas chromatography.
BUT…as always, Lanie would have needed a reason to have the victim tested for cyanide poisoning since that's not something that's on a normal tox screen. And guess what? She did. She told Beckett that she detected the smell of bitter almonds on the victim. Also, the victim presented with "pink lividity." Both could be indicators of cyanide poisoning.
So this was good information. But the writers couldn't stop there. Nope. They couldn't stand having Lanie sound as if she were a real medical examiner. They followed up with this one…
– Beckett asked Lanie how the poison was introduced and Laine responded with, "Brownish stains in his mouth indicated he recently had coffee. Maybe it was there." WHAT? So brown stains in someone's mouth means they'd just gulped down a cup of Starbuck's best brew? What about tea, a cigarette, or a chocolate doughnut? What about anything that could leave a brown stain???
– Beckett, during an interview with a particularly tough-looking suspect, tells the guy, "Sit down before I make you sit down." Well, that type of statement only works if you've got the a** to back it up. She's tough, but in this case, I don't think that would have been the case. I believe this guy would have mopped the floor with both Beckett and Castle. Still, I can see every cop in the world trying it. Part of the job is putting on the tough-guy suit and playing the game.
– Castle made the statement that most poisonings were committed by female killers. I believe that's an accurate statement. Shootings are male crimes for the most part. But I've seen women who were pretty good at slicing up people with knives, so that method could go to either sex.
– The scene where Ryan and Esposito cornered a guy in a closet was pretty good until the man hit the floor. That's when we heard the detectives' weapons making all sorts of clicking noises, as if the officers had just racked the slides, or something. That DOES NOT happen, folks. Please don't write it that way in your stories. Pointing a firearm at someone does not make it click, snap, crackle, or pop.
– I believe it was Ryan who told a probationer/parolee that he'd have him back in prison before roll call. FYI – Normally, that process is called "count," not roll call. They don't actually do a roll call. Instead, corrections officers conduct "head counts" several times each day.
– Am I alone here, or does anyone else want to see more of Ryan and Esposito? These guys should be conducting interviews, etc.
– I liked the fingerprint-on-the-seatback-button idea. That's the stuff that breaks cases. Good thinking here.
– Oh, and the crooked DA… Who didn't see that coming? Besides, the cops don't work for the DA.
All in all, I'd say this episode was just okay. Sure, it was solid, but nothing more. No "WOW" factor.
So I guess it beat watching Sanford and Son reruns.
Well, I'd better leave something for my review partner to discuss. So, take it away, Melanie…
To me, this seemed like a filler episode, with the plot dwelling mostly on the case, but I enjoyed it. Plenty of twists and turns.
Nothing earth shaking happened between Kate and Rick, however, although they did manage a little theory building, a few shared smiles, and Kate chastised Rick for tracking Alexis via her phone.
The sweet scene farther along in the show when Alexis came into the precinct and she and Rick ironed things out made both me and Kate smile. She seems to like seeing Rick in "daddy" mode… the time when he's the most genuine.
The "Forbidden Planet" framing device was a nice touch. Rick begged first Alexis and then Martha to go with him to see the movie at the beginning of the show, but they both declined. Then at the end, Beckett admitted that she's a fan of the movie and plans to go since they've solved the case — sans Josh, who's on shift — and this thrills Rick, but he doesn't let on that he loves the movie, too. He lets her think he's never seen it. So she insists he go along… and with a hidden grin, he agrees, even asking her to go for burgers at Remy's afterward. Sly dog. She doesn't agree to that right away, but who knows what might happen off camera? <smirk>
Next week's show looks interesting… but the one I really can't wait for comes later, during May sweeps. The big trip to L.A. for a case and a visit to the Heatwave movie set.

Hi mindy
It's Emily from Scotland
I love this style but I tried to get the wand on the internet and it said that it is unavailable are there any other things I can get similar but achieve the same result
Continuing on with our Waterfall Braid series, we wanted to show you this one which incorporates the use of spiral curls on the fall-through strands of the braid. (For those of you who do not know how to braid this style, please review our how to waterfall braid tutorial.)
I think this hairstyle turned out absolutely darling!
We offset my daughter's part a little, and then did a waterfall braid on both sides – meeting up together in the back.
We then took a Conair Spiral Styler and curled the loose strands of the hair and left the rest of the hair straight. You could curl all of the hair, but we really wanted to accent the loose strands of the braid against the hair. It is just a matter of your preference. We bought our spiral styler off of Amazon, at the following link…
Just like other curled styles, you will find that throughout the day the style will "curl crawl" {curls migrate into one another}. All you have to do is run your fingers through the strands, and the curls will separate back to original form!
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, one hairband, spiral curler (iron), heat protectant, hairspray, accessory (if desired).
Time Requirement: 20 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
In fact, I think you moms should try this hairstyle on that Friday night Date Night with your awesome husbands!

Hi mindy
It's Emily from Scotland
I love this style but I tried to get the wand on the internet and it said that it is unavailable are there any other things I can get similar but achieve the same result
LOVE the hairstyle. My mom says ur daughter looks like a princess. PS. were did u get that curling iron???
so i have like 20 hairstyles from this site that i haven't tried at school yet. i realize most of the people here are moms, but im in 7th grade, and i've been using this site 4 like, 2-3 years i think.
I love your creativity and love doing my 6yr old's hair…but she takes it ALL out sometime during the day at school! I have this iron and it's great (I have curly hair, but my daughter's has straightened, so I explore curling irons for her!). Thank you for posting so many ideas.
Okay, so I tried this style on my 8 year old niece. The problem with curling her hair after I waterfall braid is that the curling pulls the braid down. How can I make sure the braid stays tight?
Is there any way to make wavy curls without using heat? I don"t have a curly or straightning iron!!!!!
Yes, they have at least 10 tutorials on how.
hi Mindy, its Dharla from the philippines! I am a really big fan of your webstie. can I ask just some question? if yes here it is:
where are you from? canada? america? or something because if your from canada can I see you and your children? cause maybe this 2013 or 2014 me my father and mother are going to canada, here is where we are going to stay: ontario, toronto from canada. i will just leave a comment if we are already at canada. I am not an imposter. because I just subscribed on youtube last december 2012. please answer my question. I will just leave my email address on your channel.
They are from Ohio, US, and live in Texas US. So they will not and haven't gone to Canada. Sorry. Hope I helped in answering your question.
Sorry, actually they are from Utah, US. I get those two mixed up. Haha!
Really love this style and wanting to do it on my daughter when she goes back to school!! Hoping it wouldn't take too long in the morning. I already have a spiral curling iron I got for Christmas and LOVE it! It's a Revlon and does the exact same thing. Works great on my daughter, not on me, my hair is too short, have to grow it out now!
I dont know where to buy the curling iron i checked everywhere even in amazon but it saids item not available so if you find something please email me back
Hey Mindy, I have question about the spiral styling wand. What if your hair is too long, like you roll your hair up the wand and it won't go all the way up because the styler doesn't have enough spiral, round things? Hope you can answer, Thanks!:)
Hi Mindy!

This was the hairstyle for school pictures and we got a lot of compliments on it. I have a spiral iron just like yours and I simply cannot figure it out, so I just used a regular curling iron. I was surprised it stayed in all day, but I did use a lot of hairspray.
Hello from Moldova! Mindy, your girls are very nice. All very nice and reasonable explanation. My daughter loves hairstyles done with your advice. Thank you for your blog.
Hi Mindy!
I love you're hairstyles I think they are adorable and so fun! I try them on myself all the time, and when I wear them to school my friends think they are so creative! And now every volleyball game I my teammates have me french braid their hair. So I have a question. My homecoming is two weeks from now and I don't know what to do with my hair. Any suggestions??

I absolutely LOVE this hairstyle!! I'm going to do this for my graduation, and I'm so excited!!thank you so much for putting this up! Your hair tutorials are always amazing, and your daughters (and son for that matter) are just adorable
I love these hairstyles… I use them in the mornings all the time! When Im getting ready for school and EVERYTHING! I JUST ADORE THEM! Ive done the waterfall french braid for my school dance! I ♥ IT
Your hairstyles are super cute! I can't wait to start practicing on my daughter. Do you have any tips for making hair hold the curl? My daughter's hair won't hold a curl even with hairspray. Thanks!

Hey maybe you can even post hair styles on here for people getting married. Cause i am going to be getting married soon and i really cant think of anything to do with my hair or my daughter hair.
that is so so so cute but you need more ideas with that Conair Spiral Styler i got one for me and my daughter and she really loves it
Hey there! I came over from SITS and saw the gorgeous hair and bookmarked your site right away! My three year old has curly hair, and even when I braid it, the braids curl! It can't help itself! I look forward to seeing more posts!
What a great hairstyle! My daughter loves having her hair braided like that, but I have never fed the other hair through, what a great idea! I may have to wait until she is a little older to get past the wiggling stage to use a curling iron though!
Please have a splendid day, you have made many women's bad hair days curl the other way into cute!
Hey, I am visiting here from SITS, and I just had to say that your daughter is absolutely sweet, and has the perfect head of hair for modeling your adorable styles! Cute blog idea!
Stopping by from SITS! Okay, I love video how-tos, otherwise I never get it. My daughter watched it to and is like "okay Mama, I'm ready to have my hair done!" Uh, oh!
Thanks for stopping by. What beautiful curls!
SO SO SO SO SO SO SO cute!!!!!!!!!!
I love this!!!!! But the only thing is that I have super thick hair, but I am practicing the waterfall french braid on me and my little sister!!! I love your website!
Could you do a video of your morning routine? I would really enjoy seeing your beauty routine,etc.
P.S. I don't use the email adress that I put in!
your really running out of styles here… uv done this 1 like 3-4 times :L
Thank you soooo much I love this website!!!!! I do the styles on myself because my mom can't even French braid, and i have become pretty good at it! I've become well known at school for always having cute hair and now everyone asks me to do their hair all the time!!! Thank you so much! By the way this style is gorgeous!!! I'll have to wear it to prom or something when I'm older! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Are you growing your hair out?
Okay, so I immediately went to amazon to order this spiral styler, and it is temporarily out of stock!! Do you think your ad caused a run on the product!??!
I think I'm going to do this on my daughter for her pro photo shoot at Wheeler Farm, but with the "beachy curls" Thanks for the idea!!
Wow! I love this! It seems like a hard style to do on myself but I just have to try. It would be really great for a recital, dance, wedding, really anything. Thank you so much!
I did this hairstyle on myself for my Winter Formal! Everyone loved it and it looked better than many of my friends' hairstyles who paid to have their hair done. Instead of securing the braids with a rubber band, I bobby pinned them underneath a section of hair that I left out. I also curled all of my hair instead of just the small sections.
Hi Mindy,
This hairdo looks so cute! You know, since I've found your blog two weeks ago, I couldn't stop. I have already made four of your hair styles on my 6 years old daughter.
I loved these spiral curls and I know my princess would enjoy it so much. Very interesting way of curling; I don't know if Amazon delivers in Brazil (hopefully it does). I have never saw something like this one here. I will check though.
Thank you.
So very cute! Love it thank you!
Very cute!
I have a question about the spiral styler, does it allow you to create spirals in both directions, or do all the curls have to go in the same direction because of the guide? Hope you can answer, thanks!
I love it! We have one of those wand curlers, the type you prefer not to use ; )
I bought it years ago when my daughter was in a wedding. I think I'll just stick to what we already have here : )
Where did you purchase this spiral curling iron? I love it. It would be fun to try on my daughter's(Ashlyn)hair.
I am loving this!! So beautiful! I am going to have to get a spiral styler now!
What do you get when you cross 34 yrs of living, 14 yrs of marriage, one HOT husband, five adorable daughters, one handsome son, and tons of great family and friends? Pretty much the sum total of who I am!!

Fresh: Freeman, in particular, is exceptional. His performance is so unshowy it can easily go unnoticed, but it's the soul of Shawshank.
- Nev Pierce, BBC, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Fresh: One of the late 90s best - and most popular - films, this tale of enduring hope can be enjoyed in repeated viewings. Beautifully scripted, superbly shot, and sumptuously scored. Morgan Freeman's words (as narrator) will stay with you forever. One of the m

This movie was amazing. I knew it would be good but I didnt think it would be this good.It was just simply amazing. Just a masterpiece. I highly recommend you see this movie if you havent already. Its got an amazing story and the acting is also great. Theres nothing about this movie that I dont love. One of the greatest movie ever made. Grade: A
- bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb1, Saturday, October 9, 2010
This is an excellent film. The acting is amazing and the story is full of drama. This is one of the best films I have ever seen. Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins deliver strong performances, I highly recommend this film. The first time I watched this film I was literally speechless. I couldn't believe the power the film had. What's so great about the film is it's simplicity. The fact that they were able to pull off something so grand with such a simple story of two men finding redemption by common acts of kindness is superb. The Shawshank Redemption is one of the greatest and most inspirational films ever made. Every time I need uplifting, I watch this film, and I always feel better. The cast that Frank Darabont has assembled here is incredible. The films follows prisoner Andy Dufresne as he is incarcerated in Shawshank Penitentiary. What follows is Dufresne steadily becoming friends with other imates, most notably Boy "Red" Redding. The two men slowly build a strong friendship. Over the course of the film both men find redemption and become better people as Andy Dufresne gives much needed hope to Red. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman both deliver moving performances. The Shawshank Redemption is a special film with a strong message. This is what stuck with me. Anyone looking for something positive can find it watching The Shawshank Redemption. This is a masterwork of cinema, one may feel inclined not to watch it because of the simplistic storyline, but Frank Darabont manages to create something grand on screen, something that we all can relate to. This is definitely one of the greatest films ever made.

New Zealand-based Grinding Gear Games has a challenge ahead of it: to convince a jaded gaming audience that its online action RPG Path of Exile can be more than just another Diablo III clone. Our Not So Massively crew has been following the game with great interest, zeroing in on its generously sprawling skill tree and item-customization systems in particular. And this Wednesday will see the launch of open beta, leaving only one question left to answer: click-click-click?Well, maybe a few other questions too, like how does it play and is it worth my time? To get some first-hand experience with the latest edition of the game, Massively sent two freelancers -- Gavin Townsley and Jeffery Wright -- to two different Path of Exile developer events last week, one in San Francisco and the other in Los Angeles. Which city won in the quest for the coolest demo? You'll just have to read both to find out.

Ultimate Fighting Quotes and Quotations
Fighters say the darndest things. Whether they're trash-talking an upcoming opponent, making excuses for a loss, or just waxing philosophic on a random topic, there's never any telling what the fighters of the UFC will say next.
Below, I have collected as many great UFC quotes as possible. They range from the bizarre to the downright hilarious, but each is guaranteed to make you look at the world of MMA in a whole new way.
If you know of a great Ultimate Fighting Championship quote that isn't included on our list, feel free to drop us a line and let us know about it. Because as long as the fighters continue to talk, we expect this list to continue to grow.

After hearing remixes from Nicki Minaj, Waka Flocka Flame, and A$AP Ferg recently, T.I. decided to jump on the infectious beat and add a verse of his own. This can be found on DJ Whoo Kid, DJ Skee, and DJ MLK's SXEW Vol 2 mixtape, which was released just a few hours ago. Take a listen and download it now.
Check out Tip's other remix from the SXEW 2 mixtape titled "Girlfriend" featuring the Hustle Gang squad. Enjoy!
Quotable Lyrics:
I bet your bitch hang off the phone, you be callin her back
Go hard as a mother fucker
Getting head from a couple broads in this motherfucka
Bankroll 50 large wit me in the duffle

Not at this time. I have not heard of any plans to make such a setup. What you can do is go out and do your own homework by shooting at different distances and seeing for yourself what distances the holdover points correspond to. It's time and ammunition consuming, but it works.

The first step towards escaping sparkling suckitude is to drink outside the box, which means looking to Spanish cava, some Italian proseccos and, especially small French sparkling wine producers that you've probably never heard of and are likely outside the Champagne region (where, as you no doubt know, the only true champagne can be produced).
As you might have guessed, I have an excellent example here. It's the Charles de Fere Cuvee Jean-Louis Blanc de Blancs Brut. At 10 bucks a bottle it's an exceptional value, less austere than many French Bruts, with subtle peach, apricot and orange flavors and hints of freshly baked bread balanced by a tangy lemon-lime acidity.
So it doesn't have the complexity and almost magical bubbles of Dom or Veuve or Cristal, but for the price of any of those you could buy at least a dozen bottles of Jean-Louis and have money left over for a champagne flute and maybe a chocolate-dipped strawberry. And that definitely doesn't suck.
