Do the milkshake the milkshake do the shake
John Rau , South Australia's Attorney General, is calling for 12 games currently rated MA15+ by the Australian Classification board to be reviewed, believing that the guidelines for an R18+ game and the tightened MA15+ that he agreed to are not being applied appropriately.
The 12 games getting a review are as follows:
A large part of John Rau's motivation to see this review happen is that all of the games have received a rating of 18 by PEGI and 17+ by the ESRB in the US. "It is concerning to me, particularly as a parent, when I see that 13 games have been released in Australia as MA15+, whilst exactly the same game attracts up to an R18+ classification overseas."
It is not going to be a cheap process to re-review all 12 games, with an estimated cost upwards of $330,000.
According to Ron Curry, CEO at iGEA, however, the re-review is unnecessary.
"Not only have these games already been examined against stringent guidelines, we also haven't heard of any formal complaints made by parents or adults who think the video games are wrongly classified. The review is a hundred thousand dollar exercise to satisfy a vocal yet unrepresentative minority."
"Most people don't realise that before a video game lands on a store shelf, it has already been rigorously examined against a set of guidelines set out by our Government."
Stay tuned for any further developments.

[…] Australian Classification Review Board has completed its review of twelve games contested by the South Australian Attorney General, with all twelve MA15+ ratings remaining […]
I am currently studying, focusing on game design. I enjoy all video games, in particularly strategy games. Whenever I am not in front of a screen I am wargaming or playing Ultimate Frisbee.

Balaji, India
This iReport is part of an assignment:
Uniquely India
Casting out demons
One of the most interesting and popular centers of tantric rites is at Balaji, near Bharatpur off the Jaipur-Agra highway. Exorcism is a way of life at Balaji, and people from far and near, who have been "possessed by spirits" flock to Balaji in large numbers. It requires nerves of steel to watch some of the exorcism rituals that are practiced here. Often the wails and screams can be heard for miles around. Sometimes 'patients' have to stay on for days on end to be exorcised.
In India, there are 5.2 physicians per 10 000 inhabitants. Obtaining mental health care is even more difficult. At Balaji, healing and exorcism is performed by a number of methods, ranging from a strict diet over chanting Tantric hymns to - allegedly - keeping the possessed in shackles. The methods applied by the Balaji temple might appear medieval but it's the only treatment many people receive. The priests also take care to tell people with identifiable sicknesses from those in need of spiritual exercise. To this end, the non-profit foundation running the temple also maintains a well-equipped hospital, including a veterinary section - a rare act of compassion towards animals in India.

Daemen College : News : News Releases
Paula Witherell
Director of Institutional Communication
Daemen College
(716) 839-8472
AMHERST, N.Y. -- Several aspiring Buffalo entrepreneurs had a chance to experience and learn about starting a small business, from catering and cafes to home health care, through a unique program offered by the Daemen College Center for Sustainable Communities and Civic Engagement.
The eight-week Central Terminal Entrepreneurs business program consisted of modules that covered business plans, marketing, bookkeeping, and legal aspects. Mentors worked with the 18 adult entrepreneurs, ranging in age from 22-60, throughout the business start-up process with the goal of turning their efforts into actual Fillmore area businesses.
"One of our community partners suggested this business program for entrepreneurs as a way to grow small businesses for the Fillmore Avenue business district," said Dr. Sharon Benz, director of the Daemen CSCCE, which oversaw the program. "The entrepreneurs were a great group to work with and extremely enthusiastic, attentive and appreciative of Daemen's commitment to the community."
Business interests varied from a bed and breakfast, small retail businesses, home health care, selling textiles online, catering and cafes, and event planning. The program kicked off Feb. 4 and wrapped up with a March 25 celebration dinner prepared by entrepreneur Jennifer Boyd and centerpieces designed by fellow entrepreneur Justine Harris.
Participants were awarded certificates of completion by Benz and Rita Gay, member of the Fillmore Corridor Neighborhood Coalition, which has a partnership with Daemen.
Daemen faculty who shared their expertise as module instructors were Brian Gwitt, J.D., adjunct professor of business and corporate law; Dr. Linda Kuechler, professor of accounting and information systems; Bridget Niland, J.D., associate professor of business administration; Luiz Pereira, associate professor of marketing; and Pauline Soeffing, adjunct professor of entrepreneurship.
Mentors included Cheryl Bird, executive director of the CSCCE and former human resources business owner, service businesses mentor; Cathaleen Curtis, former photo-journalist and Daemen entrepreneurship program coordinator; Tyra Johnson, Blue Sky Design and Daemen instructor, retail businesses mentor; Richard Mills, former chair of the Erie Community College Culinary Arts Department, food businesses mentor; and Enid Wright, former art import business and retired Buffalo Public School counselor, retail businesses mentor.
Assisting with the program were Daemen students Gino Cammileri of Gates, Elaina Dickson of Batavia, and Tashi Lawrence of Brooklyn.
Faculty accompanied students to Mexico City and Cuernavaca for the January inter-semester term.

The Symmetries of Shiina Ringo
Shiina Ringo was a pop star in Japan. She courted all the right producers, appeared on all the right television shows. Each record was more successful than the last. But Ringo was an odd pop star: her voice could be grating, she was sexually aggressive, she had an edge. Eventually she got a producer and a contract that allowed her full control, and she vanished into the studio in 2003.
Fans lined up for another sunny pop excursion — but what they got was an art-rock concept album in the Björkian mold, with surreal and at times impenetrable lyrics sung in an archaic dialect, featuring a full orchestra and more than 30 instruments played by her hand-picked ensemble, credited on some songs as "Special Forces". The album is short, but it is crammed to bursting with melodic ideas and meticulous attention to sonic detail — as shown by its mysterious symmetries: the CD is exactly 44 minutes and 44 seconds long, and is constructed in two parts, each song of which has lyrical and stylistic correspondences to the song on the other half. "Doppelgänger", the second track, is followed by "Poltergeist", the next-to-last track, for instance. At one point Ringo sings a line from an earlier song backwards phonetically, only possible in Japanese. Even the track titles are symmetrical, presented in formal kanji only used in legal documents. The CD's spine from which the two leaves branch is a lovely tune without a twin called "Kuki", or "Stem".
The CD's reception was confused: Ringo let her too-nasal voice careen from child to world-weary to vixen and back again, sometimes in the space of one line, like her heroine Fiona Apple ("ringo" is "apple" in Japanese). The packaging was back-to-front, only found on traditional Enka recordings. The gorgeous melodies were undermined by disturbing language, made more so by the fact that the lyrics (even for native speakers) were difficult to decipher. The title of the record is Kalk Samen Kuri No Hana, which could be translated as Chalk, Semen, Chestnut Flowers; on the bridge of "Shuukyou" Ringo sings "I can't find a cup I like anywhere I go. Why/Even though so many buildings and streets are increasing/Do we stare at the unreasonableness of the bottle we can't finish drinking?"
For Ringo making KSK "[had] been the realization of a dream "¦ for a long time I thought J-pop was weird and really artificial sounding. I have always tried to create something more genuine." Because of its uniqueness Kalk Samen Kuri No Hana sold more than 400,000 copies — but once it was completed Ringo decided that this record was the cap to her career thus far, that there had been a line crossed and retreat was necessary. She formed a band, Tokyo Jihen (Tokyo Incidents), which reduced the focus on herself, toned down the experimentation of the music, released a single formed entirely out of samples from her back catalogue (with a video that matched the concept), and most tellingly, had the mole on her face removed, as if these gestures shut a door on something — or someone — considered done and not to be revisited.
Ringo remains immensely popular in Japan, having released two records under the Tokyo Jihen name. She shows no inclination to make music like Kalk Samen Kuri No Hana again, and there has been speculation that the record is somehow more brilliant than she can be capable of — a masterpiece arrived at by accident. Kalk Samen Kuri No Hana is also thought of as the greatest J-Pop record ever made.
This is great. So where's the rest?

World water day was a great experience for Nigerians.
Nigerians in the remote part of the country have lived with out have the benefit of having water from a good source. So, the world water day did help bring to light the plight of the people that live without good clean water.
Just watched video footage of George Zimmerman in the garage of the police station. Yes he is handcuffed, however clearly no injury to the back of his head as well as no blood on the front of his face or clothes. How did this happen?
The police keep looking at his head for no reason? Must have been something there!
Another example of the left against women. The Dems should take note on how to treat women. If Sarah had strong women on the left to defend her the way Rosen had from the right then the wouldn't look like such hippocrates. Take note Dems!
In 1992 or 1993 Julio Aliaga – CNN correspondent based out of Miami (with John Zarella) did the first live interview in Spanish of space shuttle astrounauts (who spoke Spanish but were not Hispanics). Would you please let me know where I could get a copy of the video? Cheers,
CNN please do your research. Remember Marta Burk? Years ago a protest was set up outside of the Augusta National because Women were upset about the club not having a female member. The national media covered it for weeks. The women threatened to boycott the sponsors. Guess whart happened? The Augusta National decided that they did not need sponsors. The sponsors needed the Augusta Nationals. Oh, and only about 20 women showed up to protest. Losing battle. Those of us who live in Augusta hate traffic. We only tolerate it for that one week. A protest in Augusta would be laughable, as it was five + years ago. I am in an all female AA Sorority and we do not accept men. Right Soledad? Let the men have their club.
The last crash of jet was in the early 90's. The jet took off and crashed on Lynnhaven Blvd. because the pliot turned too early causing the jet to stall. The jet landed on a car and killed the woman driver. The Navy is a part of the community and that relationship should continue as far as the people of Hampton Roads and Va.Beach are concerned.
Hello, I've been watching CNN this evening, and I am really upset that the top story is the Zimmerman guy surrender to police. It's an unfortunate story that happens far too often in this country, persons should not be allowed to carry weapons. Policemen kill our citizens all the time, in similar situations, and they are allowed to carry the gun too.
My point being ... there are people being murdered in Syria right now. There will be more murders in Syria tomarrow. People were murdered in Syria yesterday. Why is the Zimmerman case more important than the slaughter that is going on in the rest of the world.
Come on CNN, we need responsible journalism to keep people informed of attrocities, and to help keep America safe. This fear mongering and redundancy about a single murder is overdone and there are other issues that need attention. Thank You, J.M.
Blitzer's treatment of Hilary Rosen today was a perfect example of bullying by a man in a power position and proves that Blitzer is nothing more then a coward – would love to see him pull those antics on one of his right wing tea party boy friends he always gives such deference to – his nose might end up out of joint. If Hilary was my sister/wife/mother, you would need a couple of security gaurds to pull me off that cowardly piece of S%&!. Now where is Mr. Bully Blitzer's apology to all your viewers for his cowardly antics towards Hilary, who didn't say anything wrong, unless you were such a lousy journalist, Blitzer, and didn't listen to the entire comment in context. If Hilary has her wits about her, she should sue the pants off Bully Blitzer for his total lack of journalistic integrity. If CNN had their wits about them they would suspend Bully Blitzer and bring in a competent journalist to run that show.
Why do we need neighborhood crime watch? Why do we live in gated neighborhoods? Why do we need alarms systems? Isn't this the real issues here. Put a kid with a chip on his shoulder and a zealous crime watch person together you got trouble.
I saw the chinese defense minister speaking and just as he was about to speak on cyber security (a hot issue) cnn changed stories. No accusations, but this could be viewed the same way the chinese black out CNN world when presenting certain stories.
The liberal media want us to believe 51% agree with obama on gay marriage...yet 61% in NC just siad NO. Just how dumb do the liberal media think we voters are. Stop spreading these polls as the truth. They are slanted. Just look at the facts.
A disgusting display of Government Controlled Media Bigotry and Hate. An Apology across ALL Major Television Networks is the only 'Remedy'. Demand MORE Responsibility from Our 'Media Peers'.
The kids that feel it is okay to verbally attack people need to do some community service hours. They might not think it is so cool after they do some time in a nursing home, alzheimers facility,VA hospital or homeless shelter. The spoiling of Americas youth is really getting out of hand.
In a comment I read that the lawyers and others searched systematically through Trayvon Martins whole schooltime, they tore apart his whole short life to find faults. And then: They shouted what a bad boy, – what a danger for George Zimmerman he was.
I beg your pardon, – has anybody done the same in GZ's case?
Someone explained, that GZ had his bad times, then for quite awhile he was a good man, than he took a turn to the worse again 'But you must understand, he was young then, you know. ?? Remember, he was 24 then.' Are you serious?
What about Trayvon? He is 17!!'
IF GZ was on his back and, as he claimed, TM slammed his head repeatedly against the pavement (GZ said the hurting was so terrible, it felt as if his head was going to explode.) How could he walk away as easily as he did? There was no pain in his face. I saw no blood. Well yes, in a later video I did. It looked strange.
This story makes me very sad. I cant comprehend this tragedy.
I'm a white female and I'm not a racist.
I'm writing from my memory, and I don't know your language well. I apologize
July 4th 2012
I would like someone to cover/investigate the recent incident and arrest in Houma,La. I read in the Houma Courier newspaper on Tuesday of this week that a man; michael hebert age 61 was arrested on Monday of this week at the landing apartments in Houma, La. for possessing fake bombs, thousands of forged badges for FBI, CIA, and other governemnt agencies, guns and also thousands of rounds of ammuinition. There is not much information given on why he had all these items and how he obtained them. Please investigate to ensure our safety in Houma, La.

This is cool. The Galaxy Bean can project an image between the size of 5 inches to 50 inches! Can not imagine how the battery life will be. It should be interesting to go to meetings with just a phone and project presentations on the screen. Nice. It will be released only in Singapore though. [electronista]
Samsung Galaxy S and US Carriers
Samsung Captivate [androidcentral.com]
Samsung Galaxy S phones are coming to almost all US Mobile Carriers. The phone compares well with even the iPhone 4. The screen Super AMOLED seems to match the Retina Display. The Samsung Hummingbird processor is very capable too. I would love to get myself a Samsung Captivate as soon as it becomes available. I like my iPhone but it is getting a bit boring to use. I can't tweak or hack it like the other smartphones I have had. Android seems to be the most tweak-able phone OS out there now.
But what is worrying is how every carrier apart from Sprint has removed the front facing camera from the phone. The original Galaxy S has a front facing camera. Looks like they don't want anyone to be using video chat over their network. My Dad and Brother both have a Nokia N900 and seem to be video chatting using Skype. Why can't I get a Android phone that can do it too?
Readability – Super cool bookmarklet
I have to say I tried the Readability bookmarklet again after reading that Apple used its code in Safari's Reader feature. Now it is my favorite way of reading articles.
Readability™ is a simple tool that makes reading on the Web more enjoyable by removing the clutter around what you're reading. Follow the steps below to install Readability™ in your Web browser. [Readability]
I love the way the bookmarklet removes the unnecessary elements of the page and presents the article in a nice big font. I cant go back to reading articles with out this anymore. Give it a try.
Eclipse Tip: Instance count when debugging
Thoughts on iOS4
iOS 4 was released yesterday. The update took a couple of hours for me. Everyone must have been downloading it. But I was watching Portugal score a sea of goals against North Korea while I waited. The update completed without any problem.
Here are the things I like about the update:
- Folders are good. Now I don't have to scroll through pages and pages of apps to find the one I am looking for.
- Unified Inbox. I love this. Previously I had to tap a hundred times to switch between my inboxes. This is how it should have been all along.
- Archive Gmail messages and threaded conversation. I like these. The mail app is trying to be more Gmail like.
- My spelling is bad. So the spellcheck is a welcome addition.
- Screen lock. Nice when reading in bed. Otherwise the screen keeps changing orientation when i don't want it too.
Things I don't care too much for:
- Playlist creation
- Bluetooth keyboard support
- The home screen background is nice but I would not miss it if the feature went away.
Strangely the thing I don't like is the way background apps work. The OS puts every app I open in the quick app switching list, even the ones that don't support quick app switching. Does not make sense. The trouble with this is that quick app switiching is slower than launching the apps from the home screen, thanks to the new folders feature. And didn't Jobs say that when an OS make you kill apps they have failed. I had to kill apps all day today.
The other thing is that the update made things very unstable. I have had a lot of apps crash on me today. Everything seems more sluggish too. Hmmm… Is Apple bloating their OS or encouraging us to upgrade to iPhone 4?
Google TV Explained
When Google announced the Google TV, it seemed amazing but not completely clear how it worked. Now Google has released a video explaining this.
But what is still not clear to me is how Google TV can integrate with DVRs other than the Dish TV DVR. If it can integrate with my Comcast DVR I am getting one as soon as it is released.
iPhone running Windows 7?
Well no it is a Windows 7 Tablet which looks like a stretched out iPhone! This will never make it to production but do checkout Engadget for more details.
Comcast iPhone app to schedule DVR
Comcast recently added the myDVR Manager to my area. This lets me view, schedule and edit my DVR recording online. The same feature is also available on their iPhone App. Scheduling recoding from the iPhone app is way easier than their DVR's UI but it needs more refinement.
The search results for shows leaves a lot to be desired. It has no filter to show HD programs only. Most of the time it shows only the standard def. results. Hope they fix this soon. Also I can not wait for their iPad app.
Play Pac-Man on Google
Google usually have different doodles based on the day like 4th of July etc… Today is Pac-Man's 30th Anniversay so it is no surprise that the doodle is a pac-man doodle. But the kicker is that it is playable. Just click the "Insert Coin" button. Tried it on my PC as well as iPhone. Cool.
TeamViewer for iPhone
I have been using LogMeIn previously to remotely connect to my Tablet PC or Desktop at home for sometime. Like I mentioned earlier the free version was sufficient for my needs. They have an iPhone app but it costs $30. I don't remotely connect often to shell out 30 bucks.
Recently I found TeamViewer via Download Squad. TeamViewer is free for personal use and has a free iPhone app too. It works great. Now if I need to look at some documents on my home computer I can just fire up the app in my iPhone and find it. Nice. Should be interesting to see how this works on an iPad.

The game brought the best players from the Muskegon area together including a large contingency of athletes from Grand Haven, Spring Lake, and Fruitport.
Grand Haven quarterback Scott Staal started for the Legends team and got off to shaky start when he threw a pass from him own end zone that was batted up in the air and caught by a Dynasty defender for a touchdown.
Staal would get his payback later in the game when he connected with fellow Buccaneer Danny Cotter for a touchdown in the third quarter as Cotter won a jump ball in the back of the end zone.
Later in the third, Spring Lake quarterback Keegan Wolter, who rotated with Staal throughout the game, found Grand Haven's other standout receiver, Matt Kroll, for a long touchdown down the sideline, capped off with a nice stiff arm from Kroll to get into the end zone.
Staal came back into the game and converted the two-point conversion throwing another strike to Cotter.
The Dynasty team quickly responded, tying the game at 14 and it stayed that way for much of the game. On fourth and long and about 30 seconds left in regulation, the Dynasty threw a deep ball toward the end zone hoping for the best when Grand Haven linebacker Tanner Jacobs swooped in and intercepted the pass at his team's own 6-yard line.
That pushed the game into overtime. The Legends got the ball first, but their drive stalled with a Staal interception.
Ludington's Tyler Morin then booted the game-winning field goal for the Dynasty.
The all-star game experience was a great one for the players involved, and win or lose, Wolter was thrilled with the chance to participate.
"It was weird at first but after the first couple of days, we all came together as a team and I never thought I would be as close to these guys as I am," Wolter said.
Also selected to play in the game were: Grand Haven's Norris Ellis and Torrey Appel; Spring Lake's Zac Boeve and Noah Ellingboe; Fruitport's David VanBergen, Mike Reyes, Cody Bayle, Matt Schucker and Logan Six; and WMC's John Waller and Jason Jackson.
Steve Wilson, who recently retired as Fruitport's varsity football coach, was a coach in the contest.

Hendrick Motorsports' rash of problems Sunday at Michigan International Speedway opened the door for some surprise performances in the Quicken Loans 400.
With Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne all crashing and Dale Earnhardt Jr. blowing an engine, that left spots at the front of the field up from grabs.
MORE: Michigan results | Danica's day | Biffle-Edwards rift | Bad day for Hendrick
And drivers including Jeff Burton, Austin Dillon and Danica Patrick were there to grab them.
Here's a look at the winners and losers at Michigan:
Greg Biffle — In just two weeks, Biffle has gone from an also-ran to a serious contender again. A week after finishing second at Pocono, he won at Michigan and looks like a driver who is ready to climb back into championship contention.
Kevin Harvick — Speaking of championship contenders, Harvick finished second on a day when he didn't expect to contend — another sign his recent hot streak is for real. Harvick is up to fourth in the Sprint Cup standings and appears to be a legitimate title contender.
Martin Truex Jr. — Truex is moving up and down the standings like a yo-yo. After climbing into the top 10, he fell to 17th. With Sunday's third-place finish, he's up to 13th and back into Chase contention again.
Danica Patrick — Patrick finally overcame her big-track woes Sunday, running competitively and finishing 13th. It was her best finish since she was 12th at Martinsville and her third-best finish of the season. She even outran boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who finished 16th.
Jeff Burton — Burton had been making progress, finishing 12th, 11th and 11th in his past three races. Finally, at Michigan, he cracked the top 10 again, finishing 10th. Burton and RCR are making gains.
Austin Dillon — He ran well in Richard Childress Racing's No. 33 car and finished 11th — a possible sign of things to come next season.
Hendrick Motorsports — The sport's top organization went from having three contenders to win to having three cars in the garage and another destined for a disappointing fate. Gordon and Kahne both wrecked, Earnhardt blew an engine and Johnson hit the wall while chasing the leader with three laps remaining. That's a miserable day for any team, but especially for a Hendrick organization not used to such adversity.
Jimmie Johnson — After dominating last week's race at Pocono, Johnson appeared to have the fastest car again, but his team kept shooting itself in the foot with poor track position. Racing from behind led to a blown tire that robbed Johnson of a chance to win. Good thing he has a big points lead.
Brad Keselowski — He was headed for a much-needed top-10 finish when he ran out of fuel on the final lap. He wound up 12th and gained no ground in the points standings. This has not looked like a championship team in weeks.
Denny Hamlin — Hamlin's Chase hopes keep getting dimmer every race. This time, he struggled at a track where he has won twice, a sign that the Joe Gibbs team might have more problems than the hole Hamlin put it in with his injured back.
Kurt Busch — Busch started on the front row, led early and then, of course, something went wrong. Busch crashed and finished 35th, ruining another impressive performance by his single-car team.

PORTLAOISE Priest Fr Paul Fitzpatrick has travelled to Australia to assist with the funeral of his nephew, who was killed in action with the Australian Army in Afghanistan.
Trooper Jason Brown, aged 29, died while serving with the Australian army last Saturday morning. The soldier had strong links with Laois and Carlow. Jason's mother Ann, Fr Paul's sister, is a native of 18 McGamhna Road, Carlow. Ann is married to Graham form New South Wales. Jason's grandparents originate from Graiguecullen and Killeshin. The soldier's twin brother Francis still lives in Carlow. The soldier had one sister, Stephanie.
According to Portlaoise parish, Fr Fitzpatrick is on his way to Sydney along with members of his family to participate in and help out with the funeral. Msgr John Byrne, Portlaoise's PP, extended his condolences to his colleague and to the Brown family. "Its very sad and tragic circumstances. Paul is very close to the family. Even if they were separated by a lot of miles Paul had visited them a number of times."
In a statement, his parents Graham and Ann and sister Stephanie say he was a career soldier who dreamed from a young age of being nothing else.
"Everyone who knew him knew his dream. He strived to be the best he could be at his job and was successfully accepted into the elite Special Air Service Regiment," they said.
"He was born to be a soldier, and believed in what he was doing. He died doing what he loved. We are all very proud of him. We will miss him dearly, as will his army mates, who were his second family."
Trooper Brown, 29, was a member of the elite Perth-based Special Air Service Regiment (SASR). He was killed by insurgent small arms fire last Friday after suffering multiple wounds while on patrol in northern Kandahar.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said her "most sincere condolences go out to his family and friends".
"This is tragic news for our nation; it's the 18th soldier we've lost and 145 of our personnel have been wounded," she said.
The commander of Australian troops in Afghanistan, Major-General John Cantwell said Trooper Brown was remembered by his SAS mates and colleagues from 2nd Commando Regiment as a professional soldier who strived to excel in everything he did.
Fr Fitzpatrick will also be celebrating a number of other masses in Sydney during his stay.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - A Maplewood man stands charged with two counts of second degree murder in the shooting death of a man in St. Paul November 26.
Prosecutors also charged 19-year-old Brandon Christopher with second degree assault and fleeing a police officer in connection with the incident.
Police were dispatched to a residence on the 800 block of East 4th Street on reports of a shooting. When they arrived they found a man who had been shot once in the head. A part from a gun and a bag containing ecstasy was also found at the scene.
Witnesses told officers that the victim was hosting a party where drugs and alcohol were being consumed, at which a male identified as "Brandon" was flashing a silver handgun. Police later identified him as Brandon Christopher.
Those with the defendant said Christopher left the party, then told them he needed to go back, saying he would retrieve a phone left at the party. When Christopher returned he smelled of gun powder according to those in the vehicle.
Witnesses told police that Christopher informed them "I smoked that guy," and told the driver to get going. The group fled to Hastings, where Christopher picked up another vehicle and drove away.
Three days later St. Paul Police later attempted to pull Christopher over and he led them on chase. Eventually officers say he got out of the vehicle and pulled a weapon, causing police to shoot and wound the suspect.
If found guilty in the murder Brandon Christopher could be sentenced to 40 years in prison on each count.

The hollow, jointed stems of Horsetail contain large amounts of silica and silicic acids (5-8%). Silica is rich in Calcium and is used by the body in the production and repair of connective tissues and accelerates the healing of broken bones. Silica is also used to maintain and repair the nails, hair, skin, eyes and cell walls. Horsetail is also used for its diuretic and astringent properties, making it a useful treatment for cystitis, bladder and prostate problems, and kidney stones. Horsetail has also been shown to possess hemolytic (blood clotting) and antibiotic activity, properties that contribute to the healing process. Horsetail (silica) reduces the risk of excessive bleeding and contributes to the building of healthy blood cells. Research has shown that Horsetail increases the number of phagocytes (enzymes that kill germs and other foreign substances), which improves the functioning of the entire immune system. About Nature's Way America's leader in herbal medicine. If you've heard of Nature's Way, or better yet, used their products, it's not surprising. They have been America's leader in herbal medicine for over 40 years. As the pre-eminent provider of health and healing through the power of nature, their commitment to quality reflects their commitment to you. In fact, it's woven into the very story of their founding. A family crisis and an herbal renaissance. Nature's Way originated from a circumstance everyone can understand—a family's desperate need to overcome a personal health crisis. Back in the late 1960s, Tom Murdock, the founder of what is now Nature's Way, needed a solution to help his gravely ill wife. After trying conventional medicine without success, Tom and his wife turned to the traditional Native American knowledge of "medicinal plants" growing in the Arizona desert. As a result, she recovered and lived an additional 25 years. Tom Murdock's pioneering spirit did more than save a life—it led to the renaissance of herbal medicine in America. As word spread about his wife's recovery, Tom set out to find other healthy treasures growing in the Arizona desert. By 1969, Tom and his family had eight new herbal remedies to share with others and thus began the legacy of Nature's Way. While it may seem hard to believe now, for many years herbal knowledge was a lost art in a country fueled by conventional, and often invasive, medical approaches. The founding of Nature's Way reopened a door that had long been closed. Motivated by a passion to spread the power of natural healing, Tom and his family moved back home to the beautiful mountain valleys of Utah and almost single-handedly spurred the growth of what could be called the "Silicon Valley of Herbal Supplements." An industry pioneer in many ways. When you've been pioneering natural health for over 40 years, you develop an impressive list of "firsts" among major dietary supplement companies. Many of these innovations initiated by Nature's Way have shaped how America thinks about natural medicine. Here are just a few: Nature's Way has a state-of-the-art, pharmaceutically licensed, industry-recognized GMP manufacturing facility, and invested in it well before it became more common to do so. They were the first major supplement company to be certified as an organic food processor, an important distinction as they focus on being caretakers of their resources, as well as natural medicine providers. They were the first to bring clinically proven, European phytomedicines to the U.S. market that had long been recognized as effective, but were new to many in this country. They fund major third-party organizations to responsibly disseminate trustworthy health information and ensure quality in the field at large. Theybelieve that health freedoms aren't something to take for granted. As such, they champion and fund legislative efforts to guard their health. It's more than a business. Nature's Way believes in giving back. Nature's Way is grateful for their business success and they express it through a tradition of giving back. A few examples include: Founding donor groups to protect the world's rainforests, where the world's next great herbal medicines may be discovered. Donating vitamins to the poor in developing nations, where daily nutrients are in short supply. Supporting self-reliance programs for the homeless to address physical needs and the dignity of each individual. Contributing to research to find a cure for breast cancer and other diseases. Nature's Way Today. Today, their manufacturing capacities have expanded and they're able to bring even more good things to you. That's because being affiliated with Schwabe North America and its family of brands, including Boericke & Tafel, Enzymatic Therapy, Integrative Therapeutics, Inc., allows them to expand their reach and enhance the health of more people through the power of nature. As one of the most technologically advanced supplement manufacturers in the United States, they continue to push the boundaries forward on quality research, testing and introducing new ingredients. We offer over 500 premium nutritional and natural products, including single herbs and herbal extracts, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, minerals and specialty products. While herbal supplements are still the backbone of their product line, new and innovative products including Alive Whole Food Energizer, Primadophilus probiotics, Ginkgold clinically proven ginkgo extract, EfaGold essential fatty acids, Hydraplenish hyaluronic acid and Thisilyn liver support formulas, just to name a few, are exciting additions to their offering. After all, innovation, seeking the best in nature, and bringing "the world's best" to the marketplace is their goal. Like their founder Tom Murdock, they're still pioneering. There are many discoveries yet to be made in this amazing world. They may happen in a rainforest, a savannah, or like they did over 40 years ago, in a desert. When they are discovered, they'll bring them to you. That's why you can Trust the Leaf. Nature's Way's company logo—the green leaf seen on their product packaging and on this web site—features a motto: "Trust the Leaf." They mean it. They take it seriously. They strive to produce the very best and have worked hard to build trusting relationships with their retailers and with you. They know that millions of people rely on Nature's Way products to enhance their health. They consider it a legacy of their history and a pledge to the future. That's why you can turn to them again and again and "Trust the Leaf."

Mindful Cookbooks for Back to School.
Back to school means back to a more regular routine for most families.
I don't know about you, but for me, routine often becomes rut—especially where cooking is concerned. Breakfast needs to be fast before the school bus and getting to work. Lunch often needs to be portable. Dinner needs to be easy and fit several different eating styles. And I'd like all of it to be healthy, affordable and stuff my kids will eat. Is that too much to ask?
When I was asked to review a few new cookbooks, I was thrilled.
Bravo! ~ Ramses Bravo
I find that many vegan and vegetarian cookbooks are geared for those who like keep an extremely well stocked kitchen with unusual ingredients and have lots of time to cook. While I do love to cook, and like experimenting with new things, on a day to day basis, I need things that are fairly simple and will be well received by my family. Since Bravo was labeled as "SOS Free" or free of sugar, oil and salt, I was a little skeptical.
I was wrong! Bravo would make a great gift for anyone who has health concerns or is looking to add more vegan meals to their week—even my omnivore dad found a few recipes he liked. What I loved about the book was the focus on simple, fresh ingredients and the explanations of how to best prepare different veggies and legumes.
What Are You Doing for Lunch? ~ Mona Meighan Ed.D.
This is one of those cookbooks that you keep handy to refer to over and over. It's a cookbook, but it's also a handy guide to how and why bringing your lunch with you is a good thing. Eating lunch out or having the kids get lunch at school is one of those things that would be easy, but ultimately gets takes its toll on both our wallets and health.
Meighan includes everything from breakdowns of cost for each lunch, shopping lists, plans for different lunch "styles," and nutritional info. As a mom, I found it helpful in terms of planning lunches for the whole family, but it's geared towards single people as well.
I opted to go paperless for my review copy and downloaded the e-book, but I predict it will be a frequent visitor to my kitchen counter via my laptop.

"I find that many vegan and vegetarian cookbooks are geared for those who like keep an extremely well stocked kitchen with unusual ingredients and have lots of time to cook." Your post has hit the nail on the head! Thank you for your recommendations; I'll be certain to give these a whirl.
I could not agree more with kjoy1020!! I look forward to checking those out._Thank you!
There are no easy routine recipes that will suit every family. Each routine needs to be based on your child and your situation.
Well planned: good routines are clear and understood by everyone in the family. Everyone understands their role and knows what they need to do.
Regular: good routines become part of everyday family life.

This was supposed to be the year to lay the foundation. This was supposed to be the year to see how promising the future will be. This was supposed to be the year to get the young guys much needed experience. All that has indeed happened, but something unexpected has occurred along the way, this team is good now
Who would have thought six weeks ago that the Gators would be 5-0 and ranked #4 in the country. With wins over Texas A@M, Tennessee, and LSU, Florida is certainly ahead of schedule. Most fans and media types including yours truly had the Gators at 7-5 or 8-4 at best but the Gators appear to be far exceeding those expectations
I will tell Gator fans this, temper your excitement a bit. With games against South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida State still looming it will be tough for Florida to run the table. However Florida has already proven me wrong this season, so hey what do I know.

Dishonored has a unique alternate reality United Kingdom to explore, with a supernatural assassin to take control of.
But creating that takes a lot of work, and a new documentary series tells you just how much.
It's fun to hear about the character creation and creative process behind the game's design, but the proof is in the gorgeous flythroughs and gameplay footage that makes up most of this video.
We also get a sense of how Corvo, the protagonist, moves through the world and interacts with others. It seems you're pretty chatty whenever you're not blinking into a building and cutting someone's throat.
Our Take: We already knew Dishonored was gorgeous, but this really cements it as a beautiful, well thought out game.
More than that, though, we're looking forward to seeing how the world is built out with all the subtle details the art team has added, and how our protagonist develops. Corvo isn't just a grim specter of vengeance, something that the trailer subtly emphasizes by his interaction with a child in clips above. The story looks to have real depth and weight, something all too rare in games.

Weather disasters cost $110 billion in 2012
From Superstorm Sandy and last year's drought to tornadoes, wildfires and a hurricane, the weather and climate disasters of 2012 caused more than $110 billion in damages, making it one of the costliest years on record for weather events, national climate data show. There were 11 disaster events last year, each one causing more than $1 billion in damages, the National Climatic Data Center said. Since 1980, only 2005 had a higher damage total at $160 billion, according to the center, which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The two most expensive disasters were Sandy, which caused about $65 billion in losses, and the yearlong drought, which cost about $30 billion, the center said. The drought, which affected more than half the country for most of 2012, also led to several wildfires and a fatal heatwave, the center said.
Builders say housing is back
Is the housing recovery for real? It looks that way, as a key measure of home builder confidence crossed a major threshold Monday. The National Association of Home Builders' index hit 52 in June, marking the first time it has been above 50 in seven years. A reading above 50 indicates that more builders say sales conditions are good rather than poor. The index has been posting gains for the last year, but those moves only indicated that builders thought the market was less bad than it had been. "It's further confirmation of what we've felt for six months at least -- that the housing market is back and will continue to improve," said David Crowe, chief economist for the trade group.
U.S. to buy sugar from domestic growers
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Monday disclosed plans to buy sugar from domestic growers, outlining the government's first direct intervention in the nation's sugar market in 13 years. The move is an attempt to whittle down a surplus that has driven prices to nearly four-year lows and is threatening to spark a wave of defaults on almost $700 million of government loans. In a news release, the USDA said it could spend about $38 million on sugar purchases. As a result of the purchases and subsequent sales, the agency estimates that some 300,000 short tons of the sweetener will be removed from the U.S. market.
NASA selects more women astronauts
NASA has selected another generation of astronauts to travel to new destinations in the solar system, including an asteroid and Mars, and for the first time in its history half of the new candidates are women. Four out of the eight candidates are women, "making this the highest percentage of female astronaut candidates ever selected for a class," the US space agency said.

Starting Wednesday, June 19, the Chamber of Commerce will be kicking off its second annual Munch & Movies series at the courthouse lawn.
The event begins at dusk, and all are welcome to come.
A large screen will drape down the face of the Lake County Library, with projection equipment brought courtesy the LDS Church and sound system from the Chamber of Commerce.
The first movie on the docket for showing on the 19th is "National Treasure," a family-friendly flick about renegade Nicholas Cage and his crew trying to steal the Declaration of Independence, but for utilitarian purposes.
This is just the first of 8 movie nights, as the courthouse lawn will be the meeting ground for 8 of the next 9 Wednesdays, starting on June 19, skipping July 3, an ending on Aug. 14.
Those who wish to attend will also enjoy showings of "Field of Dreams," "Back to the Future," "Elf," "Finding Nemo," "Hook," "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," and "Despicable Me."
Munch & Movie goers are encouraged to bring their families, enjoy dinner of their own making or of a local business while watching the films, and take in the combined ambiance of the summer nights, community gathering, and classic movie watching.
"We want to provide community enjoyment and offer opportunities for visitors to have some evening activity," said Chamber Dir. Tallulah Chiono.
Sponsors for the event thus far include the Chamber of Commerce, Town of Lakeview, Chamber Board of Directors, and the Lake County Library.
The Munch & Movies series launched in 2012 as a new summer event series for local patrons to enjoy on a weekly basis.
For more information, contact the Lake County Chamber at 541-947-6040.

Completely different. It's like trying to compare a Dalloyau Opera cake to PH's Ispahan.
So are these "glaces" better than the famed Berthillon?
I am now the proud horder of 3 liters of Pierre Herme's most popular ice cream flavours.
From the Spring-Summer 2003 Collection, I have
Satine (fromage blanc sorbet, orange coulis, passion fruit sorbet, morsels of sables)
Garance (fig sorbet, rasberry sorbet, caramelised cinnamon ice cream)
And from the Signature Collection
Ispahan Sorbet (lychee, rose, and rasberry sorbet)
Gone already is Strawberry, Orange, and Cardomom Miss Gla'Gla - a couture ice cream sandwich - strawberry sorbet swirled with cardomom ice cream, laced with orange sauce, sandwiched between cardomom-perfumed sables.
More later. Too hot now. Must eat ice cream.

Is there something not astonishing about a collection of pastries using "collection" in the sense of a fashion house? Food is rather ephemeral, certainly the meal we consume is more ephemeral than the clothes we wear, have cleaned and wear again, but chefs have tended to present new ideas as revolutionary and not as passing fashion and dishes that are well received tend to become classics that stay available in a restaurant's repertoire--at least up until nueva cocina. One can only hope that Hermé is documenting his desserts as well as Adria is documenting his dishes.
I think that borrowing this page from, say, the fashion industry, is a good, smart move. It is refreshing and inspiring to see Herme roll out a whole new line of desserts for the season; in addition, he tags it with a general theme or concept, perhaps, a color, and an ineffable 'emotion' that may conjure associations with memory and our other senses, apart from taste. Ah, but you say that it's really just cake, isn't it?
As for whether a dish is a passing fashion, or potential classic... I think the best chefs, the ones who constantly push their own limits, and by extension those of their peers, tend not rest on yesterday's achievements, and are always well into the next idea. You won't see La Cerise sur le Gateau at Herme's shop today, just as Ferran Adria has implied that 'foam' is dead, a thing of the past.
The epitomy of spontaneity and the pursuit of change, for me anyway, is Pierre Gagnaire. Known to change and redirect his dishes in the middle of service, he has strong feelings with regard to that fleeting, temporary, and ephemeral quality that haute cuisine, and food in general is capable of. By drawing analogies to other art forms, primarily jazz, Gagnaire seems to approach each plate as a unique entity, and taking into account every possible variable, one that could never be recreated. Hence, he has come to avoid the recipe- the standardizing and codification. In his case, the lack of a record is quite regrettable.
Not to take the issue too far away from pastry (which, in the interest of consistency, cannot afford the spontaneity of Gagnaire) and Herme... I too hope that he is documenting his work of the last couple years. And, as he has done with his first book, I hope he eventually shares it with the rest of us!

this be in all shops? I shiver at the thought of the line! but am
already trying to make my decisions!
Posted 11 September 2003 - 06:04 AM
Michael, Lesley's question was right on - actually PH does still have La Cerise sur le Gateau in the shop - it's one of the classics. 5.50 for an individual portion or 50 euros for a cake that serves 6 - yeah, I know that seems weird - the price difference - but I'm told the deco on the whole cake is amazing - that one you should order ahead.
Roz, you are so right about the patience of the PH staff! I can't tell you how many people - myself included of course - have a million questions for every single thing in there! But you never feel rushed by the staff - or following clients - I suspect because they know they'll behave the same.
Sinclair, oh you bring up my guilty secret - I'm such a luddite - I have photos but I don't know how to upload them yet. I will try to post some soon. Some of the new work does resemble previous collections - layers in glass, etc. - but I really feel that so many need to be photographed well cross-sectioned too - like pH3's - which look just like white chocolate balls - but seriously layered interior. And then there's the texture and taste. I'm crazy for the lemon compote/hazelnut praline - smooth white choc, crispy praline, contrasting acidity - addictive balance - thank God they're a little bigger than bite size.
Moby, no web page - yet.
Paula, just one PH shop on rue Bonaparte. Are you thinking of the address on Vaugirard? That's only for special order pickups. The line is really not that bad if you hit it on off hours! I've been there a few times with no line and when there is one it moves pretty steadily. Decisions? Just get one of each. Seriously. That's what my friend Alexandra - think younger, hipper Auntie Mame in Dior - did for me - to educate my patisserie palate. It's shocking that most prices are only about 5 euros per individual portion - so that's what? Like 50 euros? Do it! An indulgence everyone should take at least once in their lives.

I'm on a borrowed conection so can't spend much time writing about my visit yesterday to Pierre Herme's shop on rue Bonaparte, so here's the next best thing, a few pics I took.
I just had a few of the above as dessert.Delicious,of course and beautiful looking but paris abounds with many boulangeries that don't cost as much.
Posted 01 February 2006 - 06:50 AM
This was delicious too, I didn't catch the name, since a friend picked it out.
We tried one each of the macarons over several days. My favorite was the caramel. They were so good that when Loic went back to Paris for a meeting, I sent him back to get another half-dozen of just that flavor.
Posted 01 February 2006 - 09:21 AM
Herme's Kouign-Aman are incredible. I ate one almost every day during a two-week trip:

As far as the macarons, they really are fabulous. Yesterday I went on a search for something that would measure up in Lyon.
Neither even come close to what we got from Herme. They have completely recallibrated my inner macaron reference. I carried these for a long time so they were knocked around a bit, but survived.
Posted 02 February 2006 - 08:26 AM
The Kouign-Aman from the book are very similar to those in the shop. He doesn't suggest it in the book, but use salted butter.

I had an Emotion Mahogany from the Vaugirard shop last week and it was heavenly. Layers of mango, lychee compotes and caramel marscapone, topped with little coconut "dacquoises". It was one of my most incredible dessert experiences. It's expensive but it's still 7 Euros expensive rather than 50Euros - an affordable treat. I was tempted by the ice cream but 24 Euros (for 1 L) crossed the line for me.
On the other hand... I was not impressed by their macarons. The ganache filling was dense and excessive, overwhelming the delicate biscuits. I was excited to try them and we bought a selection - rose, passionfruit, wild rose with chestnut and olive oil. As I'm writing this I realize I really did choose some of the wackier flavours. Maybe I should have stuck with the caramel, chocolate, vanilla varieties? Of course my husband is from Saint-Emilion, the home of the TRUE macaron so I'm lucky I even got to taste these bastardized Parisian versions.
I've been on a patisserie/chocolaterie in Paris for the last couple of weeks. What a great city for a dessert tour!
A la prochaine,

One of the reasons that I loved the Hermes macarons as compared to the sad, dry versions (now I say this in comparison) being produced at Bernichon and Tourtiller here in Lyon was the ganache, which in my opinion was just right and struck a beautiful balance in the Herme versions, especially in the more simple flavours. I was not too impressed with the rose flavor either.
You're right about the delicate biscuits of Herme. The meringue in the macarons at Tourtiller was crunchy and hard, after reading the scientific info given at the colloq, most probably contained too much sugar in the ratio and were clearly overcooked (color beginning to brown). Bernachon, just sort of 'eh' although still perfectly proper macarons in their own right. Just not as good as Hermes. Both macarons here in Lyon had hard areas in the center which were not present in the Herme macarons. The weather here is beautiful so we can't blame it on anything like that - unless they were selling stale macarons...
Lisa, tell us about the macarons in St. Emilon - overall experience? I would love to know how your husband describes the perfect macaron.
Posted 03 February 2006 - 11:20 AM
Kouign-Aman, as the rather un-French name might suggest, is a Breton pastry and in Brittany, salted butter rules.
The sheen on that hazlenut/white truffle macaron is gorgeous.
The Kouign-Aman from the book are very similar to those in the shop. He doesn't suggest it in the book, but use salted butter.

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation Reviews
easy to uselove this product, flawless finish in an instant- nothing compares — 7 years, 10 months agonormarose | 1 reviews
Makes my skin look perfect!I've been using this religiously for years now and I absolutely adore it. I have oily skin (with occasional blemishes) and this keeps my skin looking perfect all day long. It gives a lot of coverage but not too much, just the right amount. I wear this daily. I recommend using moisturizer before you put this on though, otherwise it can look a little flaky. It's inexpensive if you think about how long it lasts you and how many times you'll use it. — 7 years, 10 months agoloo | 15 reviews
One of the best I have foundIt provides amazing coverage and leaves my skin with a matte finish, which is in this season. I have been using it for about five years and will not go without it. It goes a long way and is an excellent size for your purse. — 7 years, 10 months agostsloan | 3 reviews

Can't live without my StudioFixThis is my beauty staple! I really don't need to wear any makeup but this. It wakes your face right up. I apply it with the sponge it comes with and it gives me full-matte coverage. It covers any imperfections without looking cakey. This is, by far, the best makeup ever. I will never stray from this beauty product. Highly recommended!!!! <3 — 7 years, 10 months agoDiorDoll | 2 reviews
I LUV M.A.C.I started using M.A.C. about two years ago and I absolutely love it! Because I am a woman of color, I didn't think that I could find a foundation that would blend with my complexion. The other products for women of color made me look red or "too made up." M.A.C. makes me look natural. I will never use any other type of foundation again. — 7 years, 11 months agoMSCHIFFON | 3 reviews

I need my fixHad a make-up bag packed with just a few essentials that I lost someplace. So, I had to replace my studio fix as quickly as possible. I love that it's a nice, full coverage and that it can be applied so quickly. And, it stays on. Who knew? I'll chose this any day over that BE line (I can't stand the mess all over) for the ease of application and the great coverage and duration. Love MAC. — 7 years, 11 months agokate39cs | 3 reviews
great for fair skinI have fair skin, and I have a hard time finding drugstore foundation that's light enough for my skin, so I decided to give this a try. I wear NW15, and it matches my skin perfectly. I have sensitive skin, and this doesn't cause me to break out at all. I've been using it for about a year, and I have never had any problems with it. I like how the sponge is in a separate compartment (i actually ...read moredidn't even know it was in there when i first got it!) and the case is pretty sturdy. I've never had the powder break as many of my other powders have. I use this almost everyday, and need a new one every 2 months or so, so I wish it was cheaper, but other than that this is a great product. — 7 years, 9 months agoperiwinkle1107 | 48 reviews
fabulous.I love my Studio Fix. I actually don't enjoy SPF built into my makeup, so I really love that this doesn't have it. I have really sensitive skin, and I've never had any breakout problems with it. Such a great selection of colors, and while it does seem to be a bit heavy at times, it's easy to use less or more depending on how much coverage you want. Great stuff! — 7 years, 11 months agoohsotragical | 3 reviews
