In southern Germany, it's traditional to bake Christmas Springerle. The ingredients include flour, sugar, anise - and plenty of patience, because it takes several days until the tiny delicacies are ready.
Baking cookies, drinking mulled wine, or listening to Christmas music - all these things enhance our anticipation of Christmas. But why does Christmas keep bringing a smile to most of our faces?
Leonel and José Orta from Caracas visit the city where Charlemagne once had his thrown – and also go to the Christmas market to sample the famous Aachen cookies called "Printen".

Texas Jury Strikes Down Man's Claim to Own the Interactive Web 151
from the man-who-didn't-own-the-world dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I was originally going to submit the story yesterday with the comment "how could they consider this patentable? We had windows with full 3D manipulation going on prior to 1991. We ran Patran via X11 and to the layman that would appear as a "super" browser window. It covered all aspects of any interactive patent by having full 2-way communication, visualization, and interaction. The only thing it didn't do was run over HTTP."
But it looks like common sense ruled and the jury did the right thing for once, even in Tyler.
Since US patents have no validity outside US borders the rest of the world would have just collectively rolled its eyes yet again at daft US patents and moved on if he had have won.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee traveled to a courtroom in East Texas to give his testimony on how, if upheld, the Eolas Technologies & University of California patent on Web Interactivity could prove to be a major threat to the Internet as it's known today.
That's very nice, but is it actually relevant to the case? I'd have thought the case would be decided on its own merits, rather that the consequences.
I was actually kinda hoping Eolas would win, and start demanding insanely high license fees, effectively shutting down the internet, at least in the USA. Then maybe the rest of the world would finally turn their backs on us until we fix our broken IP laws.

Annis Sloan Chalk Paint: EWWWW!!!!
lazy_gardensFebruary 3, 2013
There is a nearby retailer of this paint, so I went to see what the paint was really like.
EWWWWW!!!! I can't stand to touch the surfaces unless they have been thoroughly waxed. It's just like those chalkboards I hated in school.
As lovely as the colors are, I wouldnb't be able to handle pieces during the finishing process.

Tron: What do the different colors mean?

Re: Tron: What do the different colors mean?
Sure, you can rationalize it in-universe, at least within the context of the sequel's universe. I'm looking at it more metatextually, thinking about the differences in intention between the original filmmakers and the sequel's filmmakers. See, I waited to see
until I could get my hands on a copy of the original, so I could watch them on consecutive days. And that turned out to be a mistake, because it just highlighted all the differences in concept and approach between the two. Back to back, the two films just don't feel like they go together. The changes were kind of jarring.
But you make a good argument. Maybe in the future I'll have a higher opinion of
. But I'm not sure it lives up to its name. It's too revisionist, too different in approach, to really feel like it's carrying on the legacy of the original.

Bug Report and Feature Request @ http://ruqqq.uservoice.com
What's New
Settings Extended
* There is a System UI crash when SE starts. We work on this issue already.
Notes for Android 5.0:
* Prio instead of Silent. This is forced by priorities Google introduced in Android 5.0. Apps can only put phone in Priority mode now. This mode is effectively *same as* Silent, if no priority notifications were defined, which is default case. Priority mode has more options. Pure Silent mode can be enabled via pressing volume rocket and choosing None option only.
* Experimental Mobile Data switch can only be a shortcut to system settings.
Settings Extended puts your favorite settings or application shortcuts to the notification area and lets you access them quickly. You can instantly adjust Android settings even without leaving an application you use. Settings Extended will save your time to do better things.
You have 7 days to try out a Full Version. Then you can either stay with free basic version or buy full version extension.
Join our Google+ community: http://goo.gl/QGiMg
Or Beta Testing community: http://goo.gl/7uA19p
* Battery indicator disappears from status bar after an application update. This is standard behaviour of Android. You need to simply launch app once and it will install status bar icon again.
* How do I setup a widget? Launch app. At the top of the screen you'll see a widget preview area with toggles your widget already has. Drag and drop a toggle to rearrange or remove it. Tap a toggle to get more options. Tap an item in the list of available toggles to add it.
* My extension is not active after update. What should I do? Make sure a) you have a SINGLE user account in Google Play application - Menu - Accounts, and b) this is the account you used to purchase the extension.
* Why there is no direct switches for every setting? It's because some settings are secured by Android. You can change these settings via system settings menu only.
* What is an experimental option? A) It won't work on some devices; B) It can stop working after every new Android update; C) No fixes are possible for it. Use them at your own risk.
* Can I hide the status bar icon? Yes for JellyBeans, no for ICS. ICS does not support this option properly. Sometimes ICS leaves a black gap (empty space) instead of an icon in status bar. To avoid this ugly behavior we decided to disable "hidden" option for ICS.
* Can I hide status bar icon and keep widget at the top in Android 4.1? No, due to new Android 4.1 notification priorities. Lowest priority hides the icon but moves the widget to the bottom at the same time.
* Can I have separate sliders for Ringer and Notifications? This option is enabled automatically if your device supports it.
* Why do not allow separate Ringer and Notifications sliders for all phones? Because since ICS, official Android distribution links these two volumes and always changes them together. If you want to change this please vote for this option at Google bugs site. Click the star icon in the top-left corner: http://goo.gl/15KMi
* Is this a home screen widget? No, this is a status bar widget only.
Settings Extended uses permissions listed below for the mentioned purposes only.
1) "GPS location", "control NFC", "Bluetooth", "Network connectivity", "Wi-Fi", "System Settings", "Toggle sync", "Read sync settings" for getting status and changing corresponding settings on and off upon user request.
2) "Take picture and videos" for LED flashlight only.
3) "Directly call phone numbers" for a "direct call" system shortcut.
4) "Billing" for extensions.
5) "Vibration", "Run at startup" for vibration and launch after reboot.
6) "Expand/collaps status bar" for collapsing status bar after changing a setting.
7) "Writing Secure Settings" for GPS in-place switch on rooted devices.
Permissions are exclusively used for the purposes listed above.

An old time favorite wax bean! Delicious, golden-yellow pods are stringless and of good quality. (55 days)
Each packet contains approximately 40-60 seeds.
Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Plant directly into rich, fast draining soil in spring after the soil has warmed. Sow 1 inch deep and 2-4 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart. Soaking 1-2 hours prior to planting will speed germination. Thin when seedlings emerge so that bush varieties are 5 to 6 inches apart; pole varieties 6 to 8 inches apart.
Pick often to keep plants productive; when harvesting immature pods you encourage new blossoms to form. Look for firm, sizable pods and pinch off with your thumbnail and fingers.

Anastasia and Catalin were wonderful guests. We met them briefly and they are very friendly ,respectful.. Communication beforehand was simple and efficient.
We didn't have a chance to hang-out & spend some time together but they were extremely clean and tidy during their stay.
We would recommend them to any hosts ;D
Anastasia was a very nice guest, easy to communicate with and understanding when our internet went down for one day. She and her friend left the house in good condition and we appreciated how they came and went so quietly.
Anastasia and Catalin stayed with us for 8 nights and it was a joy to meet the two of them. Very adventurous, curious and delightful couple. We wish them all the best on their continued explorations.

We was very happy to have Anastasia and her husband in our home and they came from very far...Canada...wow...thanks to come to us and to keep our apartment very clean...we suggest for other hosts..

I think that there are a couple important points. Condos are 30% of the overall market and about 50% of current inventory. They are also about 30% more expensive than co-ops. 2 bedrooms in that price range are generally uptown or in a borough like Queens (think Astoria, Forest Hills, Sunnyside etc) or in Brooklyn (Williamsburg, etc.). Note though that you have to be very careful as that range is hard to find a 2 bedroom condo, but what you will find is condos that size with high maintenance (prices to maintenance are inversely related). So, you will have to be flexible in location. Also as a note, foreclosures are VERY rare anywhere in or near Manhattan. Demand is so high, there is no reason to go into foreclosure as most people have 20% or more in their properties.
To answer the process question:
0) Acquire pre-approval, financial statement and proof of funds
1) Find the property
2) Offer
3) Accepted offer (2 days)
4) You sign contract (7 days - includes time for the attorney to read all building docs and negotiate the contract)
5) Seller signs contract (3 days) - note that the deal does not count under the law until the seller signs. And the seller's agent WILL keep showing to your competition until the seller signs.
6) Get a commitment letter (2-4 weeks)
7) Close (2-4 weeks)
Does that help?

HAve you been pre-qualified by a broker
or pre-approved by Mortgage broker?
First you have to find out how much you are pre-qualified for?
Then you gatehr your requirements and go out to view in the area of your choice.
Once you like a few of these apts, then you find out if they are good enough fo you to buy.
Some buildings are qualified by the banks for you to get a loan .
Let me know if you have any other questions.
fern HAmberger

Regarding the process, depending on the building, you generally need to qualify for conventional financing, few condo's are FHA approved. Your first step would be to speak with a lender to see what you can qualify for then we might be able to give you more concrete advice or better still find a real estate agent that can provide you with the guidance you need
the process is pretty straight forward and can be stress less with the right agent.
Feel free to drop me a line or send me an email if you have any questions.
Best of luck!

As Manhattan's real estate leaders we will find more New Yorkers better homes then anyone else!
Yes, you can find a condo in New York City for less than $400,000--both true two bedrooms and one bedrooms that can be converted to a two bedroom.
The process for a condo is similar here to other areas of the country, but there are a few nuances to buying in New York City that make it worth it to work with a real estate agent to help you find a place. An agent provides you with local knowledge, market information, building information, price history, and can help you assemble a team (lawyer and mortgage broker) to make the process go as smoothly as possible.
The greatest part about working with an agent is that the seller of the apartment you buy pays for the agent's services to you! You get the agent's help for free!
If you have more questions or would like to take a look at some places in your price range, please give me a call (347.344.8307) or email me (email@example.com).

I used to look at my little bits of this and that--fancy fibers, silk and wool roving, hand-dyed gauze, threads, and vintage lace--and wonder what I could do with them. They were too good to throw away, too small to be used. Or so I thought, until I learned how to do needle felting with a machine.
When some people pass glittering tulle, pastel sheers, sequins and beads, and rows of embroidered trim at the fabric store, they see costumes. Art quilters see stash.
Our family time was lots of fun and by the end of the week I had also finished a few UFOs, a quick quilt or two, and several small quilting projects to give as gifts.
Remember the paper snowflakes we made as kids? Well, here's a little twist on them. These fabric snowflake coasters are made using freezer paper stencils and painting on fabric.
Our team has offered to be your personal shopper, selecting unique items from the Interweave store and others to help you find the perfect gift for the fiber artists in your life.
Today is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S., a day when we gather with family and friends, stuff ourselves with traditional foods (or their vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium versions), and reflect on what we are thankful for. Some of us also watch football.
Two items I'm always short on: storage and gift wrap. Two things I always have plenty of: fabric and the urge to play in my studio. This fabric painting project by Lynn Krawczyk solves both problems with my favorite solutions
What can you do with an embroidery hoop besides making hand embroidery? Lots of things! With a little stitching, glue, and ingenuity, embroidery hoops of all shapes and sizes can be used to create calendars, clocks, photo albums, jewelry, key racks, storage, and artwork using applique, embroidery, crochet, paper craft, painting, stamping, cross stitch, and patchwork.
One of the best parts of working on Quilting Arts Magazine is seeing the quilt art that comes in for each reader challenge. We're always impressed (and sometimes surprised) by the way our readers interpret each challenge and enjoy giving quilt artists exposure in the magazine and in our online galleries.
I've used the walking foot attachment for years as a valuable tool to help me sew even stitches with slippery material and as a tool for machine quilting.
My post a couple of weeks ago on handmade Halloween costumes got me thinking: how many quilters are also sewing fabric to make garments?
Anyone wondering how to make a patchwork quilt with their scrap stash or using some of the fun, new commercial fabrics should learn the half-square triangle technique.
Where do you get your inspiration for art quilts? Quilting artists get asked that question all the time.
Today I'm sharing some of my favorite gift ideas to make for your friends and family, as well as gifts for quilters that would be welcome at your guild's holiday party swap--or under your own tree.
Susan Brubaker Knapp and I share something besides our love for creating fiber art. Our birthdays are side-by-side: mine is October 30 and hers is October 31. I can say--and I'm sure Susan agrees--that it's a lot of fun to have your birthday on or near Halloween. Everyone gets dressed up and there is a ton of candy!

SIX police officers are now under investigation over how the disappearance of murdered teen Jayden Parkinson was handled.
The 17-year-old was murdered by her violent ex-boyfriend Ben Blakeley in December and her body was found in a grave two weeks after she was reported missing.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has launched an investigation into Thames Valley Police's actions from the day Jayden was reported missing on December 3, and whether appropriate risk assessments were made.
The police watchdog has now served misconduct notices on three constables and three sergeants, meaning they will be interviewed by IPCC investigators over possible misconduct.
The investigation into one of the constables came after a complaint from Jayden's mother that the force did not react appropriately when dealing with her daughter in the months before she disappeared.
IPCC spokeswoman Caroline Craig refused to give any details on the nature of the allegations against the officers.
But she said: "The notices are split between the investigation into the force's response to Jayden being reported missing, and the investigation into complaints that we have received.
"We have now served an additional notice of investigation – three sergeants and three police constables are under misconduct investigation."
Blakeley, 22, was last month sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison for murdering her and burying her body in his uncle's grave in Didcot.

However, a post tonight on Twitter's offical blog is worth writing about: We've gone through our various databases, caches, web servers, daemons, and despite some increased traffic activity across the board, all systems are running nominally. The truth is we're not sure what's happening. (The emphasis is mine.) Twitter was down again today. It was down yesterday, and the day before that. In fact, Twitter is down right now. A lot of my posts of late about Twitter haven't had the most serious of tones, but it's very clear now: Something is seriously wrong with Twitter. It's gutsy of the Twitter crew to flat out admit that it has no idea what is going on with its service. It's also progress to see them admit failure. Really, it's just good that Twitter is talking about the issues in a very open manner. Maybe someone out there will be able to help the Twitter crew out if they can't help themselves.

The Lasting Effect of Lifestyle Changes in Preventing Diabetes
Hunter Yost M.D. | Jul 9, 2012, 6 a.m.
For years, medical studies have shown that lifestyle and dietary changes could provide long-lasting protection against Type II or Adult Onset Diabetes, but doctors weren't sure for how long. Now, in a study just published in The Lancet journal, the longest follow-up of patients from the Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group provides more clarification.
This study followed 3,234 non-diabetic patients with elevated fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance. The rate of new diabetes fell by 58 percent with intensive lifestyle intervention and by only 31 percent in those patients taking metformin (a common drug for diabetes), compared to placebo over 2.8 years.
Over the next 5.7 years, the original lifestyle intervention group maintained their low diabetes onset rate. When researchers combined the two time periods to cover 10 years, the rate of new diabetes fell by 34 percent in the lifestyle intervention group and by 18 percent in the metformin group. The authors concluded, "… a carefully followed diet-exercise combination seemed to be superior in preventing or delaying the development of diabetes compared to the effect of anti-hyperglycemic drugs ... "
For those who would prefer to rely on medicine alone to treat their diabetes, there is bad news. In 2008, The New England Journal of Medicine published a study of 10,000 people showing that those who took medicines only to lower their blood sugar had a higher risk of death. Why? Because the medicines don't treat the underlying cause of the diabetes (in this case insulin resistance when the cells of the body don't respond to the insulin signal to lower blood sugar) and the drugs make the problem worse by elevating insulin levels.
Contrary to the television commercials saying, "When diet and exercise aren't enough …" medical studies now show diet and exercise are not only effective, but long-lasting for preventing diabetes.
The low-tech approach of lifestyle change is not advertised since there is no profit to be made. Yet the improved quality of life and prevention of the serious consequences of diabetes is priceless to those who want to take charge of their health. The Mediterranean diet is used in most of these studies and is the most widely studied diet in all of medical literature for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis. It can also help to reverse the problem of insulin resistance.

The Current is an MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) station from St. Paul, MN that broadcasts to parts of Minnesota and is available via the Internet. Known for offering true alternative music, in-studio performances by many of music's most talented, and a music staff that truly knows its stuff, the Current offers us several of their year end lists. Check out all their staff picks HERE.
View The Current's Top 89 Albums for 2006 (PDF file)
Barb Abney, Host 9a-noon CST
I wouldn't want one of my favorites to be the last picked for kickball, so grouping by release date seemed fair...
We are Scientists - "With Love and Squalor"
FINALLY... I met and interviewed these guys in early 2005 and was getting impatient for their full length! What a blast to see play live. Good banter and ALOT of energy!
Mates of State - "Bring It Back"
I've been crazy about this husband and wife duos harmonies since they released the "All Day" EP. Saw them play a festival gig this summer and they played off of each other so well on stage.
The Twilight Singers - "Powder Burns"
Okay, I'm biased, Greg Dulli is my favorite male vocalist EVER! I have seen him play with either Afghan Whigs or Twilight Singers (or the secret Gato Negro show) at least 20 times! I love that with each album you can expect more cameo appearances from a who's-who list of his musically inclined friends!
Radio 4 - "Enemies Like This"
When you think of this band you don't think of "acoustic sets" but they did just that when I interviewed them earlier this summer. It was awesome! They mentioned my son during the interview, so this would be his choice for #1 band of the year! You simply MUST see them live to appreciate the incredible percussion!
Apollo Up - "Chariots of Fire"
I've been following this band since the release of their debut back in 2003. All of that touring and playing has paid off. The new album is hard rocking and slickly produced without making them sound like a "studio band". They can deliver live as well! And no, there isnt a cover of the Vangelis tune on the album. But if you ask nicely theyll perform it!
Camera Obscura - "Lets Get Out Of This Country"
I'm a little late to the game on this band. I enjoyed "Underachievers Please Try Harder" from a couple of years ago. This album grabbed me at the first track. I can put it in the CD player and just hit play and go.
Heartless Bastards - "All this Time"
This band cannot be pigeonholed! When you see them, they are very courteous and relatively quiet people. Once they hit the stage it's all about rockin! Do they sound indie? Yes. Bluesy? Yes. Garage rock? Yes. And they've been doing quite a bit of touring, as well!
Birdmonster - "No Midnight"
A friend saw these guys at SXSW and couldn't say enough about them. I got the disk and have had it in my personal "Heavy Rotation" since. An impressive debut!
The Hourly Radio - "History Will Never Hold Me"
These guys are just starting to get some national attention and have recently begun filming their first video. Not bad for a group of guys who hit my radar late last year when they sent a CD into the station I used to work for as part of our unsigned show. These days they have been signed to Kirkland records and did some touring with CYHSY and Stellastarr* earlier this year.
Bound Stems - "Appreciation Night"
I'm betting that this band will be on many a top 10 list out in the blogoshpere this year. They're relatively new on the scene. The Chicago quintet has been getting A LOT of blog love since they released their "The Logic Of Building The Body Plan" EP last year, and people have been chomping at the bit for their full length!

If I didn't take the test I wouldn't have known I was pregnant. I guess I should get back to my question...is the cramping normal?

with both of my pregnancies i had a little cramping in the sides of my lower stomach and in my back.my dr told me that it was normal and to not be concerned UNLESS it became painful and i began bleeding.my first pregnancy,it did and i ended up losing our son.but with our daughter,i had the cramps and nothing happened.our daughter is now 7 months old.So dont become worried unless that starts happening,but if you need more peace of mind,speak to your doctor about it.posted 12/18/2011 by lynseybarr89
Hello ladies =) I just found out i am 5 weeks pregnant. I am extremely happy because 6months ago i had a miscarriage and it was the worse thing to ever have to go through. It was all new to me because i have a healthy four year old and to lose a baby was hard. So i am praying this time i go through full term and have a healthy beautiful baby! It just very overwhelming this to time to think ok is this normal. I am experiencing cramping, low back pain and pelvic pressure.. a strech feeling. No bleeding which is a HUGE sign =)posted 12/18/2011 by baby82212

I am seven weeks and also have cramping - I have been told this is normal. I also have found that if you use those Tiger Balm plasters and put them over the sore area, it really helps with the pain! It also does not affect the baby :-)posted 12/13/2011 by gcme1

How to Travel Like Anthony Bourdain
I have been watching travel TV shows for years, looking for inspiration, living vicariously through the hosts. I remember spending the weekends in the basement of our Chicago condo while planning our first round the world trip, watching GlobeTrekker, Samantha Brown, Rick Steves, and Anthony Bourdain. No Reservations was like no other travel show on TV at the time, and I knew I wanted to travel like Anthony Bourdain.read more

The Perfect Couples Spa Day in Bangkok
During our December trip, Eric found a fabulous day spa in Bangkok close to our apartment rental, Dahra Spa in the Silom Road area. When we booked our apartment for this stay, I was thrilled to be within walking distance of what I now consider my absolute favorite spa in Bangkok.
Dahra Spa is a little oasis in the bustling city. It is unbelievably serene, well appointed, and not that much more expensive than the cheap-o Bangkok massage places, with lines of chairs for foot massages in the window, and bored massage girls playing on their phones waiting for customers.
No, Dahra Spa is heavenly in comparison. We've done a few Thai massages there, and a foot massage in a quiet little room that allowed us to take a nap while getting a foot massage. It was like multitasking.
Just before leaving, though, we wanted to splurge on a full spa day in Bangkok, and knew Dahra was the way to go. They offer amazing deals if you book on their website. And, I swear they are not paying me to say any of this.read more

10 Best Tapas in Barcelona
I love food, it's no secret. Spain, and in particular Barcelona, is one of my favorite places to eat. This is due in large part to the availability of tapas. I just love the concept of these small plates, which allow me not only to snack throughout the day, but also to try many different dishes in one sitting.
The concept of tapas has evolved over the years. It once was the case that a tapa came free with a drink. It was small morsel of food placed on a drink coaster, which was then placed on top of the drink, to keep the flies out. Oh how times have changed. Although there are still areas of Spain where tapas are complimentary with the purchase of a drink this is much harder to find when it comes to tapas in Barcelona. The same is true for tapas in Madrid too. And, from simple morsels of food to complex tapas, it is now possible to find elaborate tapas bars, with truffles and other luxury ingredients to fancy up the tapas.read more

I'm a clean-as-I-go-along kinda person when I'm cooking in the kitchen. I just hate seeing a huge pile of pots, pans and dishes awaiting me after a meal. So two nights ago, as I was cooking dinner, I was washing some of the dishes and Bella came up to me and said, "Mommy, can I do the dishes?". I instantly fainted on the floor. Okay, no, that really didn't happen but I did have to ask her, "can you say that again?" and she repeated herself. Now what needs to be understood here is that it has always been a huge battle to get Cole and Bella to clean up after themselves. They have always been stubborn that way and what it pretty much comes down to is me getting a huge garbage bag and threatening, "alright, if I have to pick up your toys, they're going into this bag and we're gonna take all these toys to the Children's Shelter where they will be appreciated". That usually prompts them to clean up. One time Bella countered back with "fine, take my toys" and I did. She hasn't tested me since.
Needless to say, I was thrilled to hear her actually ASKING if she could help. I said, "by all means, let me get you a stepstool and I'll show you how to do the dishes". She was all smiles and very happy to help. I couldn't believe my eyes. At the young age of 4, there was my stubborn, strong-willed daughter washing the dishes, without me having to even ask. And, the best part is that she likes doing the dishes. She kept saying "Mommy, this is so much fun....I love washing the dishes", to which I replied, "I'm happy to hear that....you can do the dishes every night if you'd like". Here are a couple pics of her doing the dishes (not sure what's up with the Donald Trump comb-over she has going on in that 2nd pic)
Yesterday, all day, she kept asking "Mommy, can I do the dishes again tonight?" and I couldn't help but giggle and say, "why sure you can...are you kidding me??" and then Cole said, "I wanna do the dishes too". Of course he can't be outdone by his twin sister. Then Bella said to him, "no, I'm doing the dishes" and they actually stood there fighting over who was gonna do the dishes. I thought "is this really happening? Are my kids fighting over who's gonna do the dishes? God, are you up there? Do you see this? Are you messing around with me again?". So I got an extra stepstool and they both stood at the sink, washing dishes. I couldn't help but start to sing "what's gonna work? Teamwork! what's gonna work? Teamwork!". I sounded like a complete idiot but it's a very rare occasion that these two even get along so I had to make the most of it while it lasted.
Now I just need to find some toddler-friendly chores that I can get Garrett and Landon to do....and then I might actually be able to sit on my butt zoning out on the tv while eating bon-bons at least 1 night a week. A girl can dream.

Kendall teen's killer gets life without parole
Juan Carlos Portieles, 33, of Hollywood was convicted of first-degree murder Tuesday for killing his 18-year-old ex-girlfriend in 2009.
Juan Carlos Portieles watched Tuesday, the final day of his first-degree murder trial, as a Miami-Dade prosecutor slumped face-down on a car seat in front of jurors, showing how Jaclyn Torrealba might have died.
But only Portieles saw exactly how his 18-year-old ex-girlfriend died three years ago.
Tuesday, Judge Victoria Brennan sentenced Portieles, now 33, to life in prison without parole. Jurors deliberated for four hours before finding him guilty of planning and causing Torrealba's death.
Family members and friends of Torrealba, a Florida International University freshman, embraced outside the Miami-Dade County Courthouse afterward. Torrealba's parents shared a tearful hug moments after the sentencing of the man who killed their only child.
"He took our daughter's life," said her mother, Vilma Castro. " He shouldn't have a life, either."
On the evening of Oct. 11, 2009, Portieles, of Hollywood, told police he had killed the Kendall teen after an argument the night before. He said her body was still in the car.
Portieles, known as DJ Seasunz in the Miami nightclub circuit, had driven around for hours with Torrealba's beaten, bitten and strangled body. He visited a friend and a business colleague to ask for advice. By 6 p.m., Portieles decided to turn himself in to police.
Defense attorney Herbert Smith agreed with prosecutors on two points: Torrealba is dead, and her death was caused intentionally by his client. However, Smith argued, the act was not premeditated.
Just hours after he killed Torrealba, Portieles waived his Miranda rights, provided DNA, and agreed to go to the murder scene with police after telling them that he and Torrealba had gotten into a drunken fight after leaving Club Space, a downtown Miami nightspot.
"Last night was a blur," he told police.
Jurors took a week to examine the evidence presented by prosecutors: forensic photos of a battered Torrealba and the bloodstained car in which she died. Other factors taken into account were testimony from crime scene investigators, the medical examiner and the officer and detective who heard Portieles' confession.
According to prosecutors, Portieles drove Torrealba to a secluded area, beat her, bit her seven times, and choked her. Then, he rested for half an hour.
Witness Isabel Cangate said earlier in the trial that when Portieles arrived at her home to ask for help from her then-boyfriend, Portieles said he was "winded" and was complaining about his hands being sore.
Defense attorney Smith said the desperate visits showed his client had not planned things out.
But prosecutors reminded jurors Tuesday that the actions that caused Torrealba's death were not immediate.
"This is a murder with one's bare hands," prosecutor Deisy Hernandez said in her closing argument. "This takes intent to kill. It takes thought."
Torrealba's mother said the sentencing did her daughter justice, but that closure would be difficult to find.
"Any bereaved parent knows that when a child dies, that's it. I don't have anything anymore."

21 Jump Street Blu-ray Review
Jump in and enjoy this excellent new spin on stale cinema.
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, June 18, 2012
All they do is recycle s#!t form the past and expect us not to notice.
A little bit of honesty, a hint of integrity go a long way with audiences who want only a movie that acknowledges what it is and delivers full-on with its premise, eschewing some half-baked, play-it-safe excuse for a motion picture with a genuine cinema surprise that's all-in and takes no easy way out. Despite what studios might think, audiences aren't stupid, and they want something that doesn't insult their intelligence or spark yet another case of cinema déjà vu. But at the same time, audiences happily part with their hard-earned moviegoing dollar for the same kind of nonsense week in and week out, forking over what is now, it seems, a bundle of cash for the "privilege" of watching another tired remake, sequel, or project sourced from something off the long-dead scrapheap, whatever it is probably replete with a stale plot, a clichéd script, a generic rhythm, dull characters, and a celluloid middle finger subliminally hovering over every frame (particularly if the movie is in 3D). Studios see easy money, audiences see an air conditioned retreat; an easy date; an escape from reality; a few maybe even something they genuinely want to see, believing this is it, this is when they will finally get one right. In other words, they find an excuse to go to the movies rather than go to the movies with an expectant anticipation. Well, it's time audience wants finally collide with a studio re-imagining, when money spent is an honest good time earned. 21 Jump Street is the gloriously fun and grossly over-the-top adults-only exception to the cookie cutter rule. It slaps convention in the face, embraces its roots, and refuses to duck back under the safety net that's caught so many movies over the years. 21 Jump Street defies everything audiences know about these sorts of movies, knowingly accepting its place in cinema and happily and willingly bucking the trend that's dashed hopes and all but destroyed the magic of the movies. In other words, this is the one everyone's been waiting for.
You wanna be friends?
They were the flunky jock and the friendless nerd in high school. That was 2005, this is 2012. A lot has changed in that time, but much remains the same. Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum, The Vow) still can't pass a test and Morton Schmidt (Jonah Hill, Superbad) still cannot make heads or tales of social situations. But fate has brought them together once again, reuniting them at police academy where their one-time acquaintanceship in the hallowed halls of high school means they're a natural fit for friendship as adults, even if they share almost nothing in common save for the uniform they wear. The truth is that they are the perfect duo; between them there's one good cop, a combination of athleticism, street smarts, and raw knowledge that makes them a force to be reckoned with -- if they can get on the same page and realize that police work isn't a real-life movie. When they bungle a bust, it becomes clear that this twosome would be better utilized as part of a revitalized program from the 1980s. Their mission: to pose as brothers and infiltrate a local high school where a new super drug, known as "HFS," is just getting off the ground. They are to wiggle their way into the dealers' inner circle and unearth the identity of the supplier making it all happen. But that won't be an easy task, particularly when their identities are swapped and Jenko is forced into advanced classes and the nerd-osphere while Schmidt must play the part of the jock and popular kid. Can they survive high school a second time, and survive it playing the part they loathed back in the day?
Embrace your stereotypes.
There are many things 21 Jump Street does well -- very well, really -- and only a few it does not-so-well, yet even when it comes to the latter the movie doesn't feel as if it's doing a disservice to its audience or taking the easy way, sneaking by and hoping nobody will notice amidst the deluge of positives on parade. Sure the entire "undercover," "drugs," and "big car chase/shootout at the end" elements lack general creativity, but it's what the film does with those elements down at the nitty-gritty detail level that allow them to contextually work and make the movie such a success. Even the end shootout and climactic car chase are handled with some novelty and either return to ideas introduced earlier in the film or work in some extreme verbal and physical elements that might be called "the 21 Jump Street way of doing things," which is to take a stale and tired idea and reshape it into something unexpected and very welcome. The result is a movie with nary a dull moment and those moments that audiences expect to be dull playing as anything but. 21 Jump Street never really feels like a re-imagining or a cheap, thoughtless plundering of old source material. That's the key here, that the movie is shaped in its own image rather than that of something from the past, that it playfully dances with the old 80s show rather than take it as its one and only. In essence, the title gives the movie a familiarity, and a few cameos and a handful of elements that hearken back to the original show are welcome, but 21 Jump Street is otherwise very much its own creature, defined by a sharp script, knowing direction, quick editing, and two fabulous lead performances.
I think you idiots are perfect.
To be sure, it's that merging of the scriptwriting, direction, editing, and acting that come together in near perfect harmony to create something that's both in the mainstream and out of it, cutting edge while sourced from the aged, clever and hip even if bulky, general elements appear superficially stale. Perhaps the film's finest asset is its refusal to take the easy, profitable road of a generic PG-13 venture. 21 Jump Street earns its "R" rating -- it really earns it; there are no corners cut here -- and does so gleefully and almost with a strange sense of superiority over lesser movies that have chosen to be something else because some studio bigwig decreed such, not because the movie was better off for it. But the key to 21 Jump Street is that the vulgarity doesn't feel forced into the movie at all. It's a natural extension of the 21 Jump Street World, and it's there because it should be, not because it can be, which is probably why it wasn't watered down for that sought-after PG-13 rating; anyone can see (and hear) that the crudeness shapes the movie, while it's the acting and directing that define it. Indeed, Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller find the perfect humorous cadence for the film, a cadence that accentuates the meshing of every element, including plot, characterization, language, physical gags, action, and absurdity. The movie consistently plays -- from the opening high school scene all the way to the sequel-promising closing seconds -- with the perfect rhythm of action movie slick and serious and over-the-top comedic fun. But for as extreme as it all appears to be, the movie feels always balanced and ready to tackle the next big thing it has in store, defined by an uncanny flow that leaves audiences in stitches and in anticipation for what's to come. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum absolutely nail the parts, the former playing a character who is like the younger, partially rejected smart but hesitant brother of Hill's own character in Moneyball, while Tatum finds a friendliness and self-assuredness even through his lack of smarts, making this the perfect on-screen pairing.
21 Jump Street Blu-ray, Video Quality
21 Jump Street's 1080p Blu-ray transfer appears consistently dim. The image is rarely what one might consider "vibrant," instead favoring a slightly drained brightness setting that leads to a few flat details, even in brighter exteriors. Certainly, bright natural greens, brilliant yellow school busses, and other lively hues impress in well-lit or daytime scenes, but many interiors struggle to find significant visual vigor. This leads to pasty skin textures and a general, evident, slight drain from "the norm." Details in those brighter scenes appear steady and impressive, nothing worthy of much fanfare in the greater Blu-ray universe, but sufficiently reproduced down to the finest little facial nuance, clothing line, or general object crispness and definition around the frame. The darker scenes remain steady, sharp, and focused, but never deliver much in the way of a "wow" factor. However, black levels impress throughout, and the image suffers from no immediately evident cases of banding, blockiness, or other eyesores. 21 Jump Street probably won't become a go-to title for Blu-ray video demonstration purposes -- it's technically proficient but visually bland -- but Sony's transfer shouldn't hinder one's enjoyment of the movie.
21 Jump Street Blu-ray, Audio Quality
21 Jump Street's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack excels with every new scene, each new sonic challenge. Music plays with supreme clarity through the entire range, from piercing highs to rattling lows, particularly evident in the many blaring popular songs that shape the movie's dynamics. Whether the opening Eminem tune or the din of music filling a house party in chapter eight, the track delivers clean, tough, precise notes that pull the listener into the movie. Surround support is evident and shapely, pleasantly immersive and more energizer when needed. Whether hardcore action scenes that spit out dynamo sonic elements from every corner of the soundstage or the pleasant din of a bustling school hallway, the track always seems capable of enveloping the listener in the action or environment, no matter how prominent and critical to the film or simply filling out the realism end of the spectrum. Gunfire blasts through every speaker in the big shootout at the end, while explosions send a strong wallop through the listening area. Dialogue is clean and accurate, flowing easily from the center channel and never forced to battle surrounding elements for front-and-center supremacy. This is a high quality, high output, highly enjoyable soundtrack from Sony.

21 Jump Street Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
21 Jump Street is a raucous and verbally raunchy Comedy/Action hybrid that embraces its uncanny ability to source from older material and craft an end product that's barely recognizable by either 1980s or even 2011 standards. The movie isn't really new, it's more courageous, willing to do what it wants, on its own terms and in its own time, "play it safe" be damned. This is a movie that goes all-out, unabashedly releasing the proverbial hounds and allowing them to run loose and all over modern convention and cinema-think. But just because it's vulgar doesn't mean it's good. It's how naturally it all flows from the characters and the story that makes it work, and thank the clever script, incredible direction, and first-rate lead performances for making it happen. 21 Jump Street isn't your father's "21 Jump Street," and it's not even your older brother's lazy TV remake. This is a wonderfully unique little experience that's fun, funny, and one of the year's can't-miss movies. Sony's Blu-ray release of 21 Jump Street features quality video, strong audio, and a fine assortment of extras. This is one of the year's better Blu-ray releases, and it comes highly recommended.
