Enjoy a cookie, pick your president
ROSEVILLE, Minn. (AP) — It's not at all scientific, but it is delicious: A Minnesota bakery is offering Obama and Romney cookies to test its customers' preference in the presidential race.
Roseville Bakery owner Amy Johnson says she's done her cookie poll in the past two elections, and it correctly predicted the winner both times.

Screening suggestions
The single story ranch house next door was recently torn down, and is being replaced by a much larger home built to the maximum setback limits. The good news is this is on our North side, and does not affect our view or exposure to the South (ocean side). Also, our side driveway to our detached garage gives us a bit of a buffer zone from the new overwhelming structure. The new neighbors said they plan to build a block wall which will be approximately where the blue construction fence is now. Their lot sits about two feet above ours, and there is an existing retaining wall along the property line. I would like to screen the wall to soften the feel along our driveway. There is currently Indian Hawthorne, and Rosemary along the wall, but I would like something taller. There is one small Arbutus back about 3/4 of the way to the garage. How about adding more of those? I also was thinking about Austrailian Willows? Or maybe Icee Blue Podocarpus? Any thoughts or other suggestions?
If the wall is going to be stucco'ed a dark brown color the Podocarpus blue ice will look stunning against it.
This podocarpus isn't as dense as the regular gracillimus but it still has good, albeit slow growing screening capabilities.
I love the Australian willow Agonis reflex. "jervis bay after dark". It looks great against a lighter toned fence or wall and is especially beautiful when paired with other aussies such as Anigozanthos, phormiums, cordylines, succulents and some of the shrubby leucadendrons, leucospermums and grevilleas.
attached is a photo showing Agonis , miscanthus , leucadendron jester, yucca color guard and anigozanthos combo.
definitely, the arbutus is workable .
About 5 years ago I planted 4 in a row to create a screen between two ocean side homes and they have performed very satisfactory.
It is one of my favorite trees for California. They make a beautiful screen.
Arbutus are great - they can grow very tall eventually - 3 stories is the largest i've seen. You might also want to check out Myrica Californica (super fast growing native - it grows like a weed in my yard - i keep it untrimmed in my yard but you can make a hedge out of it). My neighbors have a Myrica hedge that's about 2 stories tall and it's angular/flat because they trim it. How about European Hornbeam, columnar - will grow straight and tall and you can make a hedge out of them by bunching them together. There are other Hornbeam varieties that aren't so column-like...And finally, this is a totally crazy idea, not sure where in California you are but how about a redwood hedge? Nothing grows faster but it would require maintenance (topping trees, cutting or otherwise containing roots) - but my neighbor installed one and so far so good...it would eventually (probably quickly) block your neighbor's view out of their 2nd story windows...there's a you tube video describing how to create and maintain one.
Thanks modern for the additional ideas. The fast growing aspect of the Myrica is tempting, I will look into them. The Hornbeam however, is not suitable for my beach location according to the Sunset guide. I really don't want to block the neighbors view of the ocean above our house, which I'm sure is a main reason for them building so tall! I would like to stay neighborly, and just screen or soften the new wall, which if 6ft. on their property, will appear 8ft. tall from our side. I will wait until all the wall/fence is complete before making a final decision, so quick growing is a plus...
That Nandina looks interesting too, but maybe a bit bushy? I guess I should nave added that my planting strip is a little less than three feet wide, so I need to keep whatever I end up with from bulging too far into our driveway for clearance from our cars...

please help with shrub/tree suggestions for my backyard
I'm in southern California, western riverside county. summers get to 110+ winter can drop below freezing, a few nights a year. my wife and i just bought a new single story home that is surrounded by two story homes, our backyard fence is five and a half feet tall, when we moved in the backyard is totally un landscaped, its bare. i had a few potted cacti that i planted in one small corner of the back yard, just want my desert plants, in one small area.
i am a person who loves tree's, and plants of all kinds, love the green look. my backyard is small, so thats the first hurdle, as i would love a much larger yard, for more trees. but that is hard to come by in southern california. so i am planning on planting 2 trees in my backyard, one a little larger than the other. smaller one needs to be around 17 ft high and no larger than 20 ft wide at full maturity, looking for something colorful in spring and fall, like maybe a redbud tree. the second slightly larger tree needs to be around 25 ft tall and no larger than 25 ft. wide at full maturity, something to create shade, but nothing too common, maybe a desert willow or chipalta tree.
Then I desperately need a privacy screen along the fence-line. something that i can either buy thats already 6-7 ft tall or something that grows fast, nothing huge, nothing over 12 ft tall, 10 ft wide at full maturity, i dont mind some pruning, right now i have no idea of what i'de like to use as privacy screen shrubs/tree's, thought about american holly, but then realized the leafs are too sharp to brush against, also considered oleanders, but i know they can get out of hand somewhat.
please give me tree ideas for the two tree's. and privacy shrub/tree idea's for the privacy screen need. thanks so much for your time, also i included the layout of my backyard. thanks!!
Do you want evergreen trees or deciduous? The xChitalpa tashkentensis Pink Dawn is about the size you want for your larger tree, and is longer blooming without the messy looking seed pods of the Desert Willow. Smaller tree might use an Oleander trained as a standard, or you might consider the rather common but always beautiful, fast growing and long blooming Crape Myrtle. Another well adapted for heat and drought smallish tree might include Rhus lancea or an Acacia podalyrifolia or Acacia cultriformis. Narrow
growing screens up against a fence might include Grewia
occidentalis or Tecomeria capensis; both take heat and can be kept trimmed to 6 to 8 feet tall by 2 to 3 feet wide if kept clipped as a flowering hedge.
we have decided to go with 1 podocarpus tree, 1 pink dawn, and 1 muskogee crape myrtle tree.
and for the privacy screen, grewia occidentalis!
thank you bahia for the great suggestions!
what would you suggest i use to mix with the soil from the hole? maybe garden soil or some type of compost?
Be aware that while the Grewia can be kept fairly narrow if trained as an espalier, if not so trained it will grow as a wide bush. I'd suggest starting off with espalier trained 5 or 15 gallon size from the nursery. This shrub may also drop some foliage in your freezes, but is generally safe to use as an evergreen hedge if you seldom drop below 27ðF or so. Your much warmer winter days may give you better evergreen character in winter, they can tend to thin out a bit in colder winters here in northern California.
As to amending your soil, it depends on what you have to start with. First thing is to dig any planting pit at least 2 to 3 times wider than your container size, but no deeper, and flood test to see that water drains fully within a couple of hours. I generally do amend the backfill 50% with aged compost or similar, but current horticultural research says this is unnecessary, and a surface application of compost as mulch is more beneficial, repeated once or twice a year. I'd suggest you get a copy of the Sunset Western Garden Book as a good general reference for your gardening and plant questions, it should answer most any gardening question you might have.

Hello and Happy Friday! I appreciate you stopping by to see what I have to say in today's Chronicle-Independent, our hometown newspaper. Many might comment that I already say a lot through my photographs as there are many tucked away on my Facebook page. I have the Easter Egg Hunt at Bethesda Presbyterian Church from 2009, Camden High's graduation from 2010, Food For The Soul's dedication from 2011 and the Miss Camden Pageant just last month and hundreds of others in between -- all posted on my photo page. Now it's my turn to say in words ...
Services for Rev. Lloyd Frank Brewer, Jr., 70, of West Columbia, will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, January 28, 2012, at Trinity Baptist Church, Cayce, SC, officiated by Rev. Michael W.

Honorary pallbearers will be the Cayce United Methodist Church Women's Morning Circle, Cayce United Methodist Church Choir and any Minister of Music he has had the opportunity to work with in the past. The family will receive friends from 6 until 8 p.m. Friday evening ...
We'd ordinarily favor a proposal that would bring a couple of thousand news jobs to South Carolina as well as a healthy capital investment and the potential to lure more tourists to the Palmetto State. But in the instance of a proposed casino near Hardeeville in the Lowcountry, we have to say, "Thanks, but no thanks." That's apparently the same reception the idea is getting from Gov. Nikki Haley's office.
Over 1,000 Camden residents signed the recent petition asking the City to stop this Y project and let the people be involved in the decision that would obligate our Hospitality Tax dollars for the next 20 years.
It is indeed unfortunate if the City has lost the opportunity to get free money to fund the proposed sports complex. Rather than point a finger of blame at citizens who have wanted nothing more than open debate, questions answered, and dialogue for months and months concerning this sports complex, let's get to the heart of this problem. How could the City allow not just a reported loss of an ill described funding source slip away, but how has the City lost control of the leadership of Camden they were elected to represent?
Thanks in large part to a 30-point second half, the Lugoff-Elgin girls' basketball team snapped a nine-game losing skid with a 46-26 victory over visiting Richland Northeast Tuesday night inside the Demons Den.

My husband and I moved to Camden eight years ago after falling in love with the many charms that this town has to offer. The history, parks and many cultural activities, coupled with small town ambiance and friendly people, convinced us that Camden would be the perfect community for us to settle and start our family. We now have a 4-year old daughter that we regularly take to local parks, Historic Camden, the Kershaw County Farmers Market, and many of the incredible offerings of the Kershaw County Library and Fine Arts Center.

Voters here in Kershaw County and across South Carolina were subjected to an endless diatribe of political poison in the days and weeks leading up to Saturday's Republican presidential primary. This endless vitriol is nothing new, of course, as the entire process seems to have degenerated into an endless bout of mud wrestling. If you need evidence that not many people in Washington are concerned about the direction of politics and civility, we'll pass along an item that we discovered not long ago.
Millie Branham, of Lugoff, will turn 83 on Thursday, January 26. She has five children, nine grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. She celebrated her birthday at her home with family and friends on Sunday, Jan. 22.

Eighth grade students at Lugoff-Elgin Middle School participated in Pi Day festivities by designing their own t-shirts.

It had a dark blue flower in the middle that looked like a cactus pad in a way.
The one I'm thinking of, Tillandsia cyanea, has purple flower pads, but take a look at the link below and see if it looks familiar.

If you do a little bit of reading about bromeliads, you'll understand that the original plant will never flower again. If yours has begun to develop offsets (sometimes called 'pups '), they may eventually flower if you provide the right conditions.
I always think of this those floral spikes as pink! Those are the bracts and can last for many months after they first emerge. The little blue florets usually only last for a brief time.

NHL Capsules
DETROIT -- Sean Couturier had two goal and two assists and the Philadelphia Flyers scored four goals in third period to rally for a 6-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night.
Couturier got the winner at 8:28 of the third period by tipping in a shot.
Scott Hartnell and Matt Read had a goal and two assists and Steve Downie and Claude Giroux had a goal and an assist each for Philadelphia. Steve Mason stopped 32 shots.
Philadelphia finished 3 for 3 on the power play.
Tomas Tatar scored twice and center Johan Franzen also scored for Detroit. Jimmy Howard made 28 saves.
NEWARK, N.J. -- David Desharnais scored the tying goal with 37 seconds left in the third period and added a goal in the shootout and Montreal rallied for a victory over New Jersey.
Lars Eller also scored in third period and shootout for Montreal, which also beat the Devils in Montreal on Monday night.
Rookie Reid Boucher, making his NHL debut, scored for the Devils in the shootout, breaking a string of 20 straight missed chances by the Devils, who are 0-5 in shootouts this season.
Patrik Elias' unassisted goal at 18:54 had given the Devils a 3-2 edge, but Desharnais redirected a slap shot by Brian Gionta to score at 19:23 for Montreal and force overtime.
The teams combined for five goals in the third period.
The Devils led 2-1 before Eller scored on a backhand to tie the score at 2-2 at 16:10.
Andrei Loktionov and Michael Ryder each scored in the third period to give the Devils a 2-1 lead. Boucher assisted on Ryder's goal.
Gionta scored in the first period to give Montreal a 1-0 lead and goalie Peter Budaj made it hold until Loktionov scored 4:19 into the third period to tie it at 1-1.
CALGARY, Alberta -- Mark Giordano and TJ Brodie each had a goal and an assist to lead Calgary over Phoenix.
Giordano's goal extended the Flames' lead to 3-1 at 11:46 of the second period.
On the power play, Giordano's shot from the blue line changed direction off the stick of Antoine Vermette and eluded goaltender Thomas Greiss.
Calgary has been without Giordano, its captain, since he broke his ankle Oct. 21 in a win in Los Angeles. At the time, the Flames were 4-2-2. While he was absent, the club struggled going just 5-11-2.
Mikael Backlund and Lee Stempniak also scored for Calgary. The Flames have won consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 9 and 11 and won on home ice for just the second time in their past nine games (2-5-2).
Keith Yandle scored for Phoenix.

Cusinart Bread Machine
lupinaSeptember 14, 2005
I asked this on the appliance forum a few days ago and did not get any opinions so I will try here, please forgive the cross-post.
Does anyone have the new Cuisinart Bread Convection Bread Maker (CBK-200)? I was thinking about the Zojirushi, but this one caught my eye since it is $100 cheaper.
It is not on the official Cuisinart website. Cooking.com is the first place that I have seen it, it is also listed at King Arthur's Flour Baker's Catalogue, Amazon, JR, Living in comfort, gourmet.org, and others.

Fast Growing Privacy Wind Break
Block the Wind... Lower Your Heating Bills... Enjoy Your Yard Summer & Winter. Plant 5-8 feet apart and you will quickly have a dense barrier that can reach 60 ft or more.
Nothing stops the wind faster. They commonly grow 6 feet a year and some people report growth rates of 9-12 ft. You often see Lombardy's planted around farm fields to keep top soil from blowing away. They will work just as effectively for your home.
Mediteranian look adds value to your property. They grow in an elegant columnar fashion. Use them to line your driveway, a road or the edges of your property. Line your Northern borders and feel like you moved your home hundreds of miles to the South.
You get a large solid wall, without taking up a lot of yard space. The unusual, upward-sloping branches form a stunning, columnar outline. Songbirds particularly love these trees for nesting and shelter.
Plant today and in no time you'll enjoy watching the silver green leaves and unusual branches swaying in the breeze. Lombardy Poplar trees are not evergreens, but they continue to provide great wind blockage and privacy throughout the year.

A contract in which a bank agrees to cancel all or part of a customer's obligation to repay a loan due to an event such as death, disability or involuntary loss of employment. A debt cancellation contract is an alternative to a life insurance plan.

Things to do in Barcelona
At the center of Barcelona's old city lies the Gothic Quarter, a maze of narrow medieval streets packed with intriguing shops and cafés surrounding the Cathedral de la Seu, which is composed of Roman ruins and Gothic structures. Architecture buffs can't miss Antoni Gaudí's modernist structures, like Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, Park Güell, and his masterpiece, the still-unfinished Sagrada Familia. Gaudí's genius is represented in every imposing structure and whimsical detail of his constructions.
A walk down La Rambla is an unparalleled way to absorb the city's energy. This tree-lined pedestrian street starts near Plaça de Catalunya and ends at Rambla de Mar, by the water. Find newsstands, souvenir kiosks, street performers and sidewalk cafés along La Rambla, and stop at La Boquería, a magnificent food market, for a bite to eat.
Head to Plaça d'Espanya, a grand square built the 1929 International Exhibition, to be welcomed by the Venetian Towers. Nearby, the Font Mágica de Montjuïc provides a beautiful spectacle of dancing fountains, lights and music in the evenings with the Palau Nacional in the background. For soccer fans, taking a tour of Camp Nou, home of Barcelona FC, is a must. You'll never run out of things to do in Barcelona.
This unassuming shop stocks exquisite Italian leather goods: buttery-soft black flats from Pompeii and bags from the Sicilian line Bid Hand Made.
Cereria Subirà claims to be the oldest shop in all of Barcelona, although no one can agree on when exactly it was founded, and it hasn't always sold candles. This "waxery" (or cereria) stocks home accessories, most of which have something to do with generating light.
Since 1897, Els Quatre Gats ("The Four Cats") has served many purposes: pub, café, hostel, cabaret, and restaurant. Located on the ground floor of a Josep Puig I Cadaflach-designed building, this space was a rumored haunt of artist Pablo Picasso.
The concert hall, designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner (a contemporary of Antoni Gaudí) and inaugurated in 1908, explodes with vibrant color and ornamentation. After a restoration and the addition of a chamber music hall, the Petit Palau, the building is newly resplendent.
The well-edited boutique for men and women is stocked with the greatest runway hits from, among many others, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, and Jean-Paul Gaultier.
A Catalonia-born graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, in New York City, Helena Garriga has worked for the likes of Moschino and Jean Paul Gaultier. Now she's a curator of edibles, assembling the choicest local and international foodstuffs at her new shop.
Pick up a Ruta del Modernisme brochure at Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau and amble the Eixample district admiring the mosaics, wrought-iron railings, and grand spiral staircases.
Though largely gentrified thanks to the arrival of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona and attendant galleries, the former slum of El Raval maintains a lively, global vibe.
Red awnings branded with a large "CH" mark the entrance to this Eixample district shop, which sells fashions from eponymous designer Carolina Herrera.
Founded by Javier Serra in 1987, En Línea Barcelona is one of the city's most prestigious furniture and interior design stores. The store sells items from such high end designers as Knoll, Louis Poulsen, and Maxalto.
What to Expect: Located partly on a peninsula near the old-but-still-working harbor in the traditional fisherman's quarter of town, this three-quarter-mile-long family- and tourist-friendly beach was once a funky, working-class area with to-die-for seafood restaurants.
Style-conscious men can find shoes, handbags, and accessories from labels like Jil Sander, Balenciaga, and Comme des Garçons at this guy-centric shop.
The Gothic cloister is one of the city's most tranquil spots.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
If this one is booked, I have others, email me.
5 nights required unless there is a shorter gap.
Great location right off Montana Ave. with a dedicated parking space. Walk right out to Peet's Coffee, Whole Foods, trendy restaurants, and great shopping. You will find shops such as Shabby Chic, Williams Sonoma, Keils, Jonathan Adler, to name a few. This property is right in the thick of things but so quiet, you'll think you're in the country. It is surrounded by gardens and with it's own patio, is great for enjoying the wonderful Santa Monica sunshine. Hardwood floors, fireplace, washer/dryer, high quality linens, furnishings.there are buses and walking paths to the beach. Malibu is an easy and beautiful drive up the coast. The Getty Villa is nearby. There are great movie theaters and small stage theathers in the area. Brentwood and Beverly Hills are close by.
This cottage has 2 parking spaces, tandem style.
Best kept secret - what a gem ! The pictures don't do justice to the reality of how cute, comfortable, bright, airy, romantic and cozy the cottage is. Top of the line linens, crockery, glassware etc. Every piece of furniture chosen with design flair.
Close proximity to everything a visitor to Santa Monica desires - shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, you name it. An easy bus ride or 30 minute walk to the ocean.
I am so impressed with this cottage I will tell all my family and friends. The icing on the cake is the way the owner manages and operates the place - spotlessly clean, accommodative and efficient, she makes certain guests' requirements and expectations are met.
Will definitely return !!
What a great find this cottage is!! We looked long and hard for two nights accom and we got it spot on with this place. The booking and checking in process was seamless.
I highly recommend this cottage to you as EVERYTHING is as you see in the photos and as described.
Thanks for sharing your great place with us.
Barry & Kym.
My husband and I stayed 5 nights at this lovely cottage in October of 2014. Wonderful location, so close to everything, yet feels like you are in your own home. Clean and tidy with all the amenities you need - kitchen, dining area, outside sitting area, wifi and satellite tv. No worries about safety and lots to do on Montana Ave just a few steps away. The owner is very attentive - answers questions right away via text. Very convenient to have a washer and dryer too. Can't say enough good things :)
This was the second year in a row my daughter and I stayed in one of these cottages (we stayed in one of the owner's Brentwood properties the year before), and we once again loved every minute of it. These cottages (we stayed in a different one last year), while on the small size, are well maintained, well equipped, charming, cozy, and bright and sunny. The location cannot be beat. The beach, the pier, and an endless selection of shops and restaurants are all within walking distance, and Malibu, West Hollywood, and downtown are less than a 30-minute drive. Staying here is SO much better than staying at a hotel; it's so nice to feel like you're coming "home" after spending a day at the beach, a day shopping, or a day (or night) exploring everything that L.A. has to offer. The owners is always responsive and professional if/when any needs arise. I just returned a couple of weeks ago, and I am already planning my return visit next year.
Excellant location close to everything, very quiet. Was lovely and clean, had been freshly painted when we arrived. Parking no problem. Everything you needed including washing facilities. Have recommended to several friends already, im sure we will be back.
The cottage was absolutely fantastic and so comfortable, it really felt like a home away from home. The pictures that are shown on the website are lovely but don't really do the place justice. The "chalkboard" was also a nice touch that we used for some random drawings of activities during our stay!! The owner was very quick to reply to our emails whilst we were there, although we didn't get to meet her in person which was a bit of a shame.
The location was also perfect with a supermarket (good croissants, salad bar!!), a few really nice restaurants (R&D Kitchen was especially lush), coffee shops, and more within walking distance and the main Santa Monica town just a short Big Blue Bus ride away or a nice half hour walk through nice residential areas. The people were also really friendly and helpful if we looked a little lost.
All in all we would thoroughly recommend this accommodation and would go back in a flash.
Many thanks for a lovely stay!!
If this cottage is not available, I have others. Email me.
This is a stand alone cottage with it's own entrance, patio, and garage parking as well as street parking.
Right off Montana Ave. Walk to Whole Foods, Peet's coffee, trendy shops, great restaurants.
A beautiful walk or bike ride to the beach. Beach cruiser bikes are provided.
This cozy cottage has hardwood floors, fireplace, kitchen , dining nook, patio, washer/dryer, wireless internet, DirecTV premium package and plasma tv. All furnishings are highest quality.

Warriors, come out to play...
Rockstar has finally released some new information on their new game, The Warriors, an adaptation of the 1979 cult-classic. The game appears to be a huge, sprawling beat-em-up that includes a prequel to the movie with a deep but user-friendly fighting system. The levels will feature GTA-like open levels but yet stay true to the original film.
When describing the game Rockstar used the games "Double Dragon" & "Streets of Rage" as loose comparisons. Hopefully there will be a lot more information at this year's E3.
The Warriors is due to come out later this year for both the Xbox and PlayStation 2.

Xbox 360 Name & Design Confirmed ... maybe
Eurogamer is reporting that they have seen the new Xbox console and that it is indeed called "Xbox 360", the console itself has a concave design, and that the console's color is white. Maybe.
Even Eurogamer is saying that their information might not be accurate. However, their information would support the "leaked" image of the new Xbox 360 controller (which is white) as well as images from the ourcolony.net web site which appear to show the buttons from a white controller.
As for the new name and logo, they are reporting that the logo is described as a simple, round nexus with "Xbox 360" written inside it. Previous rumors had simply the numbers "360" in the disc. It really is amazing just how much press Microsoft is getting on a system which hasn't been confirmed and/or might not even exist.
Now that would be perhaps the one of the greatest hoaxes of all time, don't announce the Xbox 360 at all and just announce the next version of Windows or something at E3. Could you imagine the press?

Microsoft and Pepsi Planning Massive Xbox 360 Giveaway
Seems like today is the day of Xbox 360 news and rumors. The latest rumor is being reported by engadget where Microsoft and Pepsi are going to team up to give away over 9,000 Xbox 360 consoles in the weeks ahead of the console's official release. The contest will work in a very similar manner as the Pepsi/iTunes giveaway and use an under-the-cap registration method where one console will be given away every ten minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine weeks straight.
Assuming that the Xbox 360 will be released in mid-November as many people expect, this contest would start at the beginning of September. Which brings up an interesting question, if you win an Xbox 360 in September ... what are you going to play on it? Many people expect an updated/enhanced version of Halo 2 or perhaps demo versions of all the release titles for the Xbox 360.
Either way can you imagine how much these suckers are going to sell for on eBay?

Xbox 360 to Debut on MTV on May 12th
First Xbox 360 was going to be launched before E3 on May 16th at 6:00 pm in downtown LA. Then last week Sony decided to have their launch event for the PlayStation 3 on the exact same day only at 3:00 pm, three hours before the Xbox 360 launch party (and ten miles away which might as well be a million miles when it comes to LA rush hour traffic).
Now Brandweek is reporting that the Xbox 360 will be launched during an MTV special on May 12th. The MTV special, hosted by actor Elijah Wood, will feature a performance by rock band the Killers, and will feature athletes and celebs showing off the console's new features.

Halo 2 Multiplayer Madness
Perhaps one of the worst-kept secrets was finally announced this week. Bungie has announced an expansion pack for Halo 2 to be released in June. The pack will cost $19.99 and feature nine new multiplayer maps for Xbox Live. But what strikes me as a bit odd is the way they are releasing the maps. It appears that the maps will cost you money if you buy them right away, but if you have the patience to wait a few months you can get the maps for free. Eh?
Here is what Bungie has to say from their web site:
Sounds like Microsoft can't wait to try out those new "micro payments" they were talking about at the GDC a few weeks ago. Oh goodie, I can't wait to pay for new content for all my Xbox games!

I had to scrap two separate ideas and one actual piece of embroidery because they just weren't doing it for me. I came up with this at last and I'm pretty pleased with the results.
(P.S. I've actually never seen OR read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but I wanted to make something related to her interests so I went for it!)
Salvaged Mutiny, Sewsew-a-Gogo, and 26 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Oh my goodness... I am soooo in love with this!! (You have to read the book. It's amazingly witty and really funny.)
Haven't read the book either (I know I should read it!) but I think it's awesome anyway!
So cute! I love it!
Believe it or not, I saw the real thing before I saw it on flickr. Marvin arrived TODAY!!!!! And he is awesome!! My kids love him and Caitlin (my daughter) loved the reference to electric sleep!

Mexico Vacation Awareness
Since my sons tragic death in Cancun last year, I have made it a priority to educate people about the many unknown dangers of vacationing in Mexico. Please visit my website: WWW.MEXICOVACATIONAWARENESS.COM before making any travel plans.
Besafe as a graduation gift to my son, he and a few of his friends went to Cancun. After reading these stories, I am thanking God that my son came home safe and sound. I'm so sorry for your loss and I thank you for trying to get the word out there.
From the stories he was telling us about being ripped off from the minute they got there by bus drivers to the police, we had already figured we wouldnt be visiting mexico again.After reading all of your stories, I can honestly say, we're done visiting Mexico. There are too many other beautiful areas of the world to be visiting a place where its second nature to rip you off even by the police and your safety is in question.
I have been advised by a Mexican not to go if you can't pass for Mexican. You will be a target if you can't. I am sure some places are safe, but I would never wander around at night or do the bar scenes alone or even as a twosome. I think the problem has accelerated because of the tightening of the borders and the lack of respect the immigrants receive here.
I have been in San Juan and was told by the locals it is safe there, but it is far from it. On my last cruise I met a woman who's brother married a woman from there. He moved there and set up his dental practice. He has a gun in every room of his home, he wears a gun strapped to his leg when he goes to work and his office has security doors. When his kids grew up, they came to the US for college and would not return to San Juan. They told their Dad to return to the states, that he was crazy to stay in San Juan. In case you don't know, San Juan is a territory of the USA and that made me believe it would be safe. They are American citizens.
Any place with rampant poverty is also going to have crime. We recently visited St Thomas and St Martaan on a cruise. The were both kind of dumpy and the people would just not leave you alone.
I can visit Florida if I want great weather, and clean and safe beach -- and people don't bother you ever five minutes to buy their junk.

News in Brief: The Books, DeVotchKa, Eliot Lipp, Edwyn Collins, Numero Group
By Tom Breihan and Amy Phillips on January 16, 2009 at 4:45 p.m. EST
-- They haven't released any music since their 2006 art installation soundtrack and they still don't have any planned, but the electro-acoustic duo the Books will play a few shows in the coming months.
-- Denver gypsy-punk journeymen DeVotchKa are also hitting the road, touring the U.S. throughout winter.
-- On January 27, electro producer Eliot Lipp will release a new album, the awesomely titled Peace Love Weed 3D, on his own label, Old Tacoma Records. A single, "Beamrider", is out now. Lipp is currently touring America, and he'll be on the road through mid-March.
-- Back when Orange Juice was in its heyday, every British post-punk band wanted to do something like this: Former OJ frontman and "A Girl Like You" Bowie-impersonator Edwyn Collins has finally hooked up with the legendary reggae rhythm section Sly & Robbie. Sly & Robbie will back Collins on a bunch of dub versions of old Orange Juice songs at a show at Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket on January 25. This is part of an event that Future Pilot AKA mastermind Sushil K. Dade (remember that guy?) curated, and it's somehow supposed to pay tribute to the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Thanks to John Caples for the tip.
-- Crate-digging powerhouse the Numero Group will bring its superlative taste to the stage for the first time this spring. On April 4 at Chicago's Park West, the label will present "Eccentric Soul Revue", its first live show. The revue will feature artists from the defunct Chicago soul label Twinight, which was chronicled on the 2006 Numero compilation Eccentric Soul: Twinight's Lunar Rotation. Renaldo Domino, the Kaldirons, and the Final Solution will all perform for the first time in over three decades, in addition to performances from the still-active Syl Johnson, the Notations, and Nate Evans.
Numero Group also has a few new releases lined up for the coming weeks. On January 27, the Asterisk imprint will release long-forgotten 1970s folkie Caroline Peyton's albums Mock Up and Intuition, and on February 10, they will inaugurate the new vinyl-only imprint Numerophon with Niela Miller's Songs of Leaving.

Scorpions are hostile mobs that will only attack the player at night or at low light levels (such as in a cave), or if the player attacks them first.
They come in four varieties: the Orange-Red Dirt Scorpion, which can spawn almost anywhere, the Black Cave Scorpion, which spawns in caves, below layer 40 of the world, the Red Nether Scorpion, which spawns in the Nether and is fireproof, and the Blue Frost Scorpion, which spawns in Snow Biomes. If a Scorpion attacks the player, it has a chance of causing a negative side effect. These include:
- Dirt Scorpion: Poisons the player.
- Cave Scorpion: Nausea effect.
- Nether Scorpion: Sets the player on fire.
- Frost Scorpion: Slows the player down.
Scorpions can climb up vertically, meaning that they can scale up walls and fences. As this is the case, walls and fences make poor protection for the player and any tamed mobs.
Scorpions have a chance of dropping a Scorpion Sting or Chitin when killed. Each Scorpion will drop a Sting or Chitin of its own type (for example, a Frost Scorpion will drop a Frost Scorpion Sting or Frost Chitin). Scorpion Stings can be used as low durability weapons or used to craft a Scorpion Sword. Chitin can be used to craft Scorpion Armor. When a full set of scorpion armor of a certain type is worn, the player gains a special ability.
|Cave Scorpion
Cave Scorpion
Spawns in caves
By picking a baby Scorpion up. Name screen will then appear.
Black Chitin, Cave Scorpion Sting, EXP Points
Other information
Causes a nausea effect.
Taming and RidingEdit
As of the 4.4.0 update, Scorpions can now be tamed. By killing a Scorpion that has babies on its back, the babies will fall to the ground. The babies can then be picked up by right-clicking on them, which will allow the Scorpion to be named. You have to right-click on the baby Scorpion when its just fell from its mother Scorpion's back, if it grows bigger, it can't be tamed by right-clicking or any taming method at all. Fully-grown tamed Scorpions may attack other mobs, including your pet/s, so they should be kept seperately. Once the baby has grown to full size, the Scorpion can be ridden by placing a Saddle on it.
By feeding a tamed Scorpion an Essence of Darkness, a Scorpion Egg can be acquired. Placing this near a Torch will cause it to hatch within a couple of minutes, and it is necessary to stay near the egg in order to tame the hatched scorpion (placing it requires standing approximately where the egg is wanted, then right-clicking). This will produce a baby Scorpion that must be named, just as if a Scorpion with babies on its back was killed.
Scorpions can be healed by feeding them Raw Rat or Cooked Rat. Scorpions don't take fall damage, whether or not they are being ridden. Tamed Scorpions will attack baby bunnies and elephants. They do not attack hostile mobs when being ridden.
ID's for all Scorpion eggs: [/give [username] 4101 1 [Scorpion #]
Normal: 41
Cave: 42
Nether: 43
Frost: 44
Undead: 45
Undead ScorpionsEdit
Undead Scorpions are acquired by feeding a tamed Scorpion an Essence of Undead. Tamed Undead Scorpions behave no differently than other tamed Scorpions, but they have glowing Red eyes. Unlike other undead mobs, Undead Scorpions do not take damage from Splash Potions of Instant Healing, nor do they show signs of decay after given an Essence of Undead.
