So brazen is Valdez-Villareal, authorities said, that he sent a message to the Mexican government printed in a local newspaper.
Filmmaker Rusty Fleming, who researched Valdez for his film 'Drug Wars,' summarized the message, saying, "You're never going to eradicate the supply of dope any more than you are going to eradicate the demand ... somebody's going to do it and I'm the lesser of all evils. We don't kill women and children. [...] If you're going to have somebody smuggling drugs through our country to the U.S. and the world, it should be me."
Where is Edgar Valdez-Villareal now? Some say he's on the beach in Acapulco, hiding out in plain sight.
"He's probably had some plastic surgery," speculated Fleming. "Many of your high level drug lords, especially those wanted in the U.S., do some kind of facial reconstruction or something to alter their looks."
On the American side of the border, ABC News tracked down Valdez-Villareal's mother, who described him as a good man, but admitted she hasn't heard from her son "in a very long time."
"There is never a good outcome with a kid like this," said the detective, who asked to remain anonymous. "He's either going to be killed or captured by the Mexican military or federal police inside of Mexico, or he is going to die in a hail of bullets by a cartel rival."
That's the tragic, high price of crime in the Mexican drug wars.

On Monday night, amidst the ball gowns, tails, colourful decorations, long gloves and Dionysian festivities, the Metropolitan Museum of Art honoured 20th century couturier Charles James. The event served to unveil the renovated galleries and the newly christened Anna Wintour Costume Centre; it celebrated Vogue editor-in-chief's incredible knack and dedication to fashion and shone a bright light on an industry often criticised for being shallow and frivolous.
The annual Costume Institute spring exhibition this year is a tribute to British-born American-based fashion designer Charles James. Running from 8 May to 10 August, the museum's galleries provide the perfect case for 70 outfits - more architectural carvings in cloth than garments - that represent the designer's extensive career and imprint on fashion.
James, who started as a milliner, was a rigorous romanticist, a visionary, a Buddy Holly of fashion; born in 1906, he used his incredible understanding of proportions, volumes and anatomy to create gowns that underlined the body with the precision of a sharp pencil. In 1928, he left millinery to create dresses, introducing drapes, folds, wraps and straight forms. His designs, dubbed 'the Taxi dress', 'the jersey Lobster dress', 'the 'Tree ball gown' that traced the...

What you mean the episode where Tuvok said Torres had the right to be her own defender, and if she lost Vorik would have his way with her? What's creepy about that?
She made the decision to take him on herself. She could have just let Paris deal with it.
Putting it more bluntly the whole concept of that scene was Torres was fighting to stop Vorik from raping her.

A new app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch tells you how long to put your beer in the freezer for optimal cooling, and alerts you when it is time to remove your beer. The Beer Timer "goal was to stop people from exploding forgotten beer in their freezer," said Craig VanderZwaag, Beer Timer's developer. The app lets the user put in the size, container, and type of beer to calculate the ideal serving temperature and how long it will take the beer to reach that temperature in the freezer.
The app is available for $0.99 on iTunes.

Day 14: Saturday June 26th, 2010
We decided to stay in town one more day. Partially to recover from the Dawson event, and part to explore in the area a bit more.
But first I decided to change out the worn front tire on Tiger with the Battle wing I scored for free.
Then we went to our favorite restaurant for breakfast.
Eggs Benedict again.
Above the town of Dawson is "The Dome" a fantastic viewpoint.
We rode up there and checked out the view. It was breathtaking.
Here's a panorama.
On this detailed picture looking south you can see all the tailing piles left by the dredges. Those big "worm trails" at the bottom of this picture are visible for miles, even from Google Earth.
The west, you overlook the city of Dawson.
And to the North the Yukon river.
We actually fell asleep up here for a while.
Then after our nap, it was time to cross the river again.
We had been told there was an old "Steamship graveyard" where all the old paddle wheel boats had been run aground and left to rot once their service lives had ended.
We rode along the edge of the river...
and there they were.
Amazing! It looked like there were about six of them all "parked" up on the shore.
I had to go exploring!
You could see the old smoke stacks.
and parts of the old paddle wheels.
I crawled around inside them.
I found one of the old steam driven pistons that drove the paddle wheel.
Closeups of some of the old paddle wheels that would drive the ship.
Over time the decks had all collapsed.
You can almost make out the name of the ship.
Crawling inside I found to old boiler that created the steam for the pistons.
Looking form the inside of the hull, out into the river this fins ship used to travel up and down.
It kind of made me sad to think of the past, and how this land had changed. It's rich history, and now, how these pieces of historic engineering were now just laying here like dead skeletons. Memories of a time and an era that has passed.
Solemnly, we took the ferry back across the river to Dawson.
I had to stop here at the KTM Co.
Then it was back to camp to have dinner.
As we ate, we got new neighbors in a really nice airstream. MAG and I secretly lust after airstream trailers. But right now we are on the tent budget.
It turns out they had a flat tire.
We offered to help change the tire, but they had it all under control.
Later that evening I met the brother of a good friend of mine from CT.
He was also on a motorcycle trip. Small world.
Then sleep happened even though it was still daylight at 2:00am...

From the article: Tips for Staying Healthy at Work
What do you do when you are surrounded by sick coworkers? The last thing you want to do at work is get sick, so how do you deal with coworkers when they come in sick? Share your thoughts and strategies for dealing with the germs around the office and the people who bring them in.
Hmm a difficult subject
- I recently asked my co-worker to go home as she had come to work with a running cold; she said that she had already had her 'allowance' of days off and that she couldn't risk another week. It is now 2 weeks later, I now have the same cold and tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I just think that one employee who needs 5 days off is far better than the many subsequent employees who subsequently get sick! I wish employers could see this!
- —Guest dunter
Ummmm no
- I think you should just fire them. You never know if some workers have some Desise when they can get really sick. I don't but I know alot of ppl whom can be put in the hospital. Unfortuneatly they work with me.
- —Guest Jazmin
Go home.
- I was just dx'd with post-flu pneumonia. Interesting the pushback you get from coworkers regardless of which path you choose: go home and get better vs. hang tough and stay at work. I have never been more sick, and I am staying at home for 5 days. My thought is that, in the long run, 5 days now may be fewer sick days than trying to fight a losing battle against lingering illness. Also, I think it is reasonable to hope that coworkers would rather spread out the extra workload than risk exposure to potentially significant illness. Seems absurd that coworkers and supervisors/employers would begrudge someone time off for serious illness, but some do.

It's retarded as hell that he didn't win the fitness challenge. I have no doubt his 10min. routine had more legitimacy than anyone else's, and it was kinda messed up they edited it so he would look like a weird bear-LARPer.
Ofcourse the second I saw the fitness experts I figured this would be the case. I mean dude clearly leaned more toward the 'bodybuilding' side of exercise than the actually maintenance of a balance & effective physique. Hell, u have ten minutes to cover flexibility, endurance & strength and bearwalking lost to Arnolds? wtf?
...yeah i know, taking it a little too serious, but he's one of our own...

TTT for Bunyip blowing up all over the place . . . . a little while ago my local talk radio station announced they were interviewing Bunyip (well, they didn't call him that) at 1:00. Unfortunately I had a class to teach at that time, so I didn't hear it.
I did email them with a bunch of Bullshido info on Bunyip in the hope that they'd bust out without warning "So, Bunyip, what's it like being in the Bullshido Hall of Fame? You get a lotta girls with that?"
I think that's classic radio right there.
Mostly, I just sit here. Mostly.

In the 400-relay, sophomore Tara Sullivan, Moreau, sophomore Karen Sandifer and Tate were the runner-ups when they finished the event with a time of 3:30.70.
Freshman Keilah Walker followed up her strong dual meet performance against Houston with another solid showing for the Frogs as she claimed a pair of runner-up finishes. Walker finished second in the 500-yard freestyle in 5:06.50 seconds to beat her previous best time by more than six seconds and she posted a time of 10:29.38 in the 1000-yard freestyle to claim second place.

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
James Thurber and Keith Olbermann make a dynamic duo
I haven't watched Keith Olbermann since he was on SportsCenter more than a decade ago, so I didn't know he had been reading James Thurber stories weekly on "Countdown," his MSNBC show, until it ended earlier this year. Olbermann had been reading them to his dying father, Theodore, and his dad encouraged to read them on the show.
But having listened to about one-third of "The James Thurber Audio Collection: Fables and Selected Stories by James Thurber" (Harper Audio), I agree with Olbermann's father. Normally I like my audiobook narrators to be good vocal actors, not larger-than-life personalities, but I'll make an exception here. Olbermann's big, blustery narration plays up the manic, occasionally unhinged moments in Thurber's comic stories, leading me to a new level of appreciation for the Ohio-born New Yorker humorist.
Olbermann's sports background surely supports his reading of "I Went to Sullivant," Thurber's tale of the outlandishly tough elementary school he attended, with teenage 4th graders leading Sullivant to victory against high school, then getting in bar brawls downtown. In this and other stories, Olbermann does character voices well enough for audio comedy.
This collection of 23 stories and fables, about 3 hours long, includes Thurber's most famous piece, 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." It's a digital-only audiobook which can be downloaded through Audible.com, iTunes, Emusic.com and other sites that sell digital audiobooks.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Caroline Lovell, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 30 April 2009 03:00PM
It expects the July 2009 issue to be the last one. BBC Good Homes first launched in 1998.
It hit a peak in 1999 with an ABC of 151,763 for July-December. Its circulation remained at around 130,000 between 2004-2008, before it fell to 117,466. It continued to fall, reaching a low of 97,725 for July-December 2008.
Peter Phippen, the managing director of BBC Magazines, said: "I am very sorry to announce that after much deliberation we are proposing to close BBC Good Homes magazine.
"As the last set of ABC figures showed, the declining housing market has had a particularly adverse effect on this title and we cannot see how this might change in the near future.
"With a remit to deliver profit back to the BBC, we feel it is not tenable to publish this title at a loss. We have given this news to the Good Homes team and we are doing all we can to help them find other roles within, or outside, BBC Worldwide."

Here we go again. Another loud cell phone talker has been booted off a train.
This time, though, the woman who got removed feels like she was too "well educated" to be asked to leave.
Last month, a woman was kicked out of a quiet car in an Amtrak train by police after she talked loudly on her cell phone for most of the 16-hour journey, and then got angry when passengers asked her to stop.
"I'm not a crazy person, I'm a very well educated person."

Shadow perspective help
How do you determine the shadow of a block's edge if the light source aligns exactly with that edge of the cube?

You're close, but the first thing you have to do is MAKE SOME SPACE. Seriously, you can't see your VP's and you're working digitally. That ain't right. Expand out the canvas on the left, right, and bottom sides so you can see where this all ends up.
Now, to figure out the edges...again, you're damn close. All you have to do is plot a line from each vanishing point to those lines emanating from your light source...where they intersect are your edges.
I should point out though that because the lightsource is SO close to the cube and so low to the horizon, that shadow is going to look distorted and wrong, simply because it's out of the field of view. If it hung farther back in space and higher up in the air, the shadow would probably still be distorted, but not nearly as much.

Okay, here is a remake. Ignoring the distortions, I still can't determine the angle or intersection for the middle shadow line. I want to find out the size of the cast shadow using the light source. I don't know what you mean by plotting a line from each vanishing point.

Part of the issue you're having with your example is due to the shadow extending far beyond the cone of vision well into gross distortion. Significantly raising the light source will result in a more reasonable shadow within the COV.
Hope this clears it up for ya.

The acquisition shows that Facebook sees its focus on competing with Google and growing its advertising business, and the ability to gain far greater measurement data will help it do that.
Facebook will be able to start tracking the ads that people see and how they then link to purchases. Its main challenge will be how quickly it can integrate the technology.

Help for Jet Lag
This will be our first International trip. Anyone have any really different ideas to help with the Jet lag. I read in Rick's Guidebook that he drinks lots of Orange juice on the plane over...why? Thanks :)
This will be our first International trip. Anyone have any really different ideas to help with the Jet lag. I read in Rick's Guidebook that he drinks lots of Orange juice on the plane over...why? Thanks :)
He drinks it to stay hydrated. The best things to drink are water and juice, no alcohol or carbonated beverages.
We go to Europe frequently and always try to arrive sometime in the mid-afternoon. We drink tons of water on the plane and try not to sleep. As soon as we arrive to where we are staying we have dinner and go to bed. Usually around 5 or 6 in the afternoon. We sleep until morning and then usually feel the effects of jet lag very little the next day. The few times I've gone the other way to Asia I do the same thing but I do try to sleep for a few hours because the jet lag seems to be worse going west. Still, I try to arrive in the afternoon, have dinner and go to bed. I usually feel the jet lag pretty acutely by early the next afternoon but fight through it and go to bed around 8. Then by the next morning I'm feeling pretty good. The pressurized air in the planes is EXTREMELY dry and really can make you feel ill unless you stay almost overly hydrated! That's why you want to keep drinking...I think he chooses orange juice to keep his blood sugar up. Jet lag can be overwhelming and I think just that little sugar boost might help although I've never tried it. Have a great time on your trip! Hope this helps...
Shelley, Even after numerous trips, I'm still trying to find the "perfect" solution for dealing with jet lag. Rick's usual advice on the subject can be seen at the 3:12 mark on this recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8q-K3olA In my own case, I've found that the fresh air and bright light only works for awhile, and I often have to resort to a short nap. The most important factor is to make sure that it's a SHORT nap. I used to be a shift worker, so am somewhat used to being awake or asleep at different hours, and having a "power nap" was a method I used on a regular basis. I'll sometimes indulge in a glass of wine in the first part of the flight, and I don't think it affects me one way or the other. I also have a few cups of coffee during the flight, as I'd probably be in worse shape without it. Good luck!
"Anyone have any really different ideas to help with the Jet lag." Most frequent travelers have developed their own routine via trial and error. What works for one person may not work for another. That being said, here's what I do for west to east flights... I accept that jet lag will significantly affect me for the first day or so and I plan around it. I take a prescription sleep aid just after take off and try to sleep the majority of the flight. Mainly to help pass tedium of a long flight, not necessarily to avoid jet lag. I try to get some sunshine and walking upon arrival. I may take a short nap. I retire to bed slightly earlier than I normally would, and generally sleep late the next morning. I generally don't feel any more of the effects by day two.
hi, for me so far, i dont notice any jet lag on my way there or when/after i arrive. the adrenalin keeps me going. I just keep on moving and i will get dozy but will usually get my second wind when im walking and exploring. On the plane though i will drink alot of H20, juice and whatever is offered or what i bring onboard. I will say that on my way back home or when i get home, the Jet Lag is definitely there, but thats okay since im happy and will be planning for my next trip. happy trails.
I too am more bothered by jet lag on the trip home. When we arrive in Europe we are still traveling, getting luggage, a taxi or a walk to a hotel. I recommend that you listen to your body. Try to stay up the first day at least through dinner time, then head to bed and sleep. Do drink plenty of water on the flight and I recommend trying to get some sleep, even a nap will help. Noise cancelling headphones help with some of the tired feeling. The noise from the engines on the plane can drone on and affect your sleep. Even if I'm not listening to a movie or music, I keep the headphones "on" to block out noises...it helps me to relax. it's almost impossible to sleep in economy. People are moving around, your seatmate might need to get up to use the restroom. The seats are uncomfortable and don't recline enough for rest. Don't get too worried about the jet lag until you see for yourself how you are affected. Your excitement when you arrive will keep you awake, and you should feel just fine the 2nd day. Let yourself sleep until you wake so you are rested.
I'll start going to bed earlier than normal 3-4 days before leaving. Try to get into your hotel room in Europe as early as possible and take a nap. Get up around 4:00 and hit the streets. Like everyone says: Drink more water. I prefer to take an Ambien as soon as we eat on the plane, and hit the sack. Rick Steves also has said he uses the sleep aid.
Whenever you get up, stretch your legs and walk around.
There was a good NY Times (I think) article about this I read the other day - it said to grab your running shoes and hit the ground the following morning for a jog. I don't doubt that exercise and clearing your head first thing in the morning would be incredible for jet lag - but one needs to have the internal motivation. On the upside, you get to see the new city in a whole new light, as fewer people will be milling about the streets. I think the answer is different for everyone. I get by on espresso and pure andrenaline and lots of walking - I go to bed late and get up early and don't take any naps unless I literally can't stand up anymore (I'm 40 and probably won't be able to do this forever).
Rick has a huge capacity for orange juice! It does help with hydration. I prefer to drink water mostly. I try hard to sleep some on the airplane. If I skip anything caffeine-containing after early morning on the day of flight, I can usually snooze at least a couple of hours. Alcohol does not help me. The opposite. Since my plane usually arrives early am in Europe, I may have many hours before my room is ready. I stow my luggage at my hotel, then walk around, shop, eat breakfast, read the paper, walk some more..... If I am lucky, my room will be ready around noon. Then I rest, read, watch TV, go out to eat, and turn in for a fairly early night. I don't expect my first night of sleep to be normal, but by the second morning I feel fairly normal. To avoig jetlag I've tried the "No Jetlag" remedy and melatonin plus sleeping pill. I find that the best help is simply to avoid alcohol and caffeine and concentrate on rest for a few hours. Spending time walking outside in the morning is helpful. Not only does my body need to move around after the confinement of the plane, but daylight helps me orient to the new time. I usually drink some coffee at breakfast time on the plane. I think this helps reset the internal clock. At least the stimulant of caffeine will tend to keep me awake for a few hours. If I nap in the afternoon after landing, I try to limit it to an hour. Otherwise, I may not be able to sleep at night. I find that the older I get, the easier the jetlag problem becomes. My first few trips to Europe I was a zombie for several days!
What works for me - a motion sickness pill and a glass of wine on the plane and then sleep, sleep, sleep. Do I sleep well in coach? No, but I get as much as possible en route. I also credit the fact that as I have gotten older, I need less sleep to be able to function. When I was younger, jet lag made me physically ill for a good day or so.
I can't sleep a wink on planes. I do enjoy the free wine/beer etc. if offered. I had the best jet lag experience on our last trip. We flew on a German airline and full of lots of Germans. I think they have it down pretty well. After dinner, a few short hours of sleep, they all seemed to open the windows and bring lots of light into the cabin. I was kind of mad since we still had time to try to sleep and I really didn't understand why they were all waking up and bringing light in. Well, it is a great idea. We had very little jet lag!
We do as Anita does, an early dinner and then to bed for a 12 hour rest. I used to arrive, eat lunch, nap but have a hair appointment for 5 pm that would get me up and out. Now it's flake out after an early dinner. The cut and color waits.
Since we are dealing with about 8 hrs of time change. In the two/three weeks prior we try to time shift by three or hour hours. Since we are semi-retired it is easy to do. On the day of departure we try to function on the European time for where we are going. That means up at 3 or 4 am, very active, to the airport early so that we can have a dinner late in the afternoon at the airport. When we board the airplane we are closed to our new bed time and fairly tired since we have been up since 3 AM. Thirty minutes after wheels up we are settled in with shoes off, ear plugs, eye shade, and ignoring all activity on the plane and trying our best to sleep with some success. About an hour or so prior to touch down, we wake up, freshen up the best we can, take breakfast, coffee, whatever is offered, etc. Hit the ground running and try to stay active and in the sunlight till about 2/3 pm when we take a nap for max of two hours with an alarm clock. Generally we sleep about an hour and half, back outside, dinner at the normal local time and to bed around the 10, 11 pm mark. Have a little residual effect the next day but by the second day completely adjusted. The issue with coming home, is that it is inconvenient to do time shifting, etc., so it hits all at once which is more difficult to over come but we are home.
I find the best cure for jet lag is to go to someplace really nice. That way you get to suffer in someplace that you want to be.
Thanks everyone. some great advice and some for smiles. I know the feeling of adrenaline that I get when we travel so that will probably kick in for sure. We arrive early morning Edinburgh 8:30 am. We will drop luggage at hotel and then head to the Castle straight away...well, maybe with additional coffee. Then tour around the city a bit. Earlier dinner and bed earlier too and hopefully start to get a bit rested. We head on from there the next day but have two days in York to relax and get over the Jet lag. So, thanks all. Not sure how we will do, since this is our first trip... we are mid 50's. Maybe like one person mentioned ...we do better as we age. :)
Lots of things help a little. Some things, in order of effectiveness for us, are melatonin Argonne diet Managing light/fresh air/active arrival day We find without the above that napping, which prolongs jet lag, is inevitable. With the above there is a midmorning "low" but other than that no jet lag and a full day of sightseeing is possible on Day 1 with no side effects after that.
I think for each person it's different about jet lag. While I am on the flight try to only drink water. Now if you can sleep on the flight that helps, but sadly I never can sleep during a flight. I try my best to get moving once I arrive. Stay outside in the sunshine. As rick said water is your best friend.

Product description
This is a Harry Potter quiz book like no other. It won't be asking you questions like "what school did Harry Potter go to?" (If you are a Harry Potter fan, then of course you know the answer!) Rather it asks questions which will develop your literary appreciation of the Harry Potter books and your general knowledge of the Harry Potter phenomenon. Some of these questions are easy, quite a few are fiendishly difficult, and several of them really don't have simple answers, but thinking about possible answers is what it is all about. Work through this quiz book (with an eye on the answers) and come out the other end with a much better understanding of the phenomenon that is Harry Potter. After each question, space is provided in which you may jot down your preliminary answer. In this quiz book there is a focus on the language used by J. K. Rowling. From alchemy to whomping via such gems as hallows and knickerbockers the books use a range of words which are not part of the everyday word stock of most speakers of English, and certainly not of most children. True fans of the Harry Potter series will want to know them! There is a mass of information around the world of Harry Potter, some of it trivia (but fun!), some key to our appreciation of the books. Also fans have realized that the books have some serious points to make. No book achieves anything approaching the success of the Harry Potter series unless it includes something that makes us all think. This Harry Potter Quiz Book aims to draw your attention to some of these big questions. Knowing the name of Harry Potter's school is not likely to change the life of any one of us, but thinking about the moral issues raised in the booksmight do just that.

Customer reviews
By Sean Groarke 12 Oct 2009
My daughter, the die-hard Harry Potter fan for whom this was purchased, was very very disappointed with it. She wanted a quiz book about who, what, where & when in the world of Harry Potter. What she got is a (short) book with some very generic questions, most of which have only a slight connection with HP.
Not recommended at all.

Nobody is stealing your information. The app allows you to share contacts, apps, and bookmarks in a QR Code. This is why contacts permissions are needed. See "Visit Developer Website" below ( https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions ).
If your device is not scanning, first try workarounds for device bugs in Settings. Enable all of them, and then try disabling one at a time to determine which is necessary. If this does not help, try clearing the device cache and settings from Android settings.
If these still do not work and you believe there is an app problem, send a message with the following information. Messages without this information can't be acted on, so are ignored.
- Device type
- A basic description of what does not work: crashes? does not scan? looks strange?

I live in a small cottage on a small lot in what I consider to be the perfect small town, but my sanity is being threatened by a monster which is stalking me with the stealth of a serial killer.

Let me start by telling you that I am not a chef. I do love to cook, but this is a relatively new-found love.
Over the last year or so IŌĆÖve gotten to know several local farmers and have also done a good bit of reading on the subject of fresh, local foods.

/ PRBuzz.com / February 3, 2012 -- Personal injury attorneys in New York, Lewis & Lewis P.C., recently added a Spanish section to their website. The existing website helps those needing assistance with personal injury or workers' compensation.
"It made sense to offer a website for our Spanish-speaking audience," said Emily Downing, attorney at Lewis & Lewis. "We have Spanish-speaking staff too, which is a huge help to a much broader client base."
With the assistance of Red Rocket Web Specialists in Windsor, Colorado, Lewis & Lewis was able to broaden the scope of services they offer by expanding the website to accommodate a user experience for Spanish speakers.
"I had a blast working on this site," said Chris Chavez, Director Analytics and Accountability at Red Rocket. "The new Lewis & Lewis site really pushed my abilities while preparing content in both English and Spanish. It's been great helping them offer services to those who have been injured such as individuals who've been hit by a drunk driver, as well as being able to offer the same searchability experience for Spanish speakers with phrases like golpeado por un conductor ebrio (Spanish for hit by a drunk driver)."
The new website can be found at LewisLaw.com, along with all of the Spanish components to the website.
Lewis & Lewis P.C. has been assisting injured individuals since 1944. Since then, Lewis & Lewis P.C. has transformed into the largest combined workers' compensation and personal injury attorney firm in Western New York.
