About meI am a mom, and a computer programmer. My hobbies include reading, running, and sewing.
About my libraryI really like to read and sometimes I feel like it is a bad addiction. If I am reading a really good book I get grumpy when I have to do other stuff like go to work. If I don't like a book I don't finish it because there are way to many other books I need to read, thus there aren't a lot of books on here rated 1 or 2 stars because I didn't finish books that would have got that score.

Bulgaria's Border Police Caught 9 Syrians Hidden in a Van
Bulgaria's border police caught nine Syrians, hidden in a van loaded with yoghurt, which was trying to cross the Danube on the Nikopol ferry, reported the Interior Ministry.
According to the report, the refrigeration van was driven by a Veliko Turnovo resident and was supposedly taking 100 crates of yoghurt to Romania.
During the border inspection the border police found a partition in the van, where were hiding nine Syrians, seven of which had ID documents.
The driver, his companion and the nine Syrians were arrested and taken to the Nikopol police station.

'Two and a Half Men' Poster Teases Naked Ashton Kutcher
The first poster for "Two and a Half Men" season 9 has been unveiled. It features new lead actor Ashton Kutcher and returning cast members Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones who are shirtless and holding a sign to cover middle part of their bodies, with plain white background.
The big sign mentions, "All will be revealed... 09.19.11". A slightly different version of the promo picture, with the tagline and the date being reversed, currently hangs on the wall outside the Warner Bros. studio in Burbank. Words are, CBS and WB will change the text on the sign for different messages.
Like it's said on the sign, the ninth season of "Two and a Half Men" will premiere on September 19 at 9 P.M. on CBS. On the same day, Comedy Central will air a roast of Charlie Sheen, who was fired from the sitcom earlier this year after making public insults toward producer Chuck Lorre.

New York's Pizza by Certé has been designated a 3 Star Certified Green Restaurant by the Green Restaurant Association, a national nonprofit specializing in helping restaurants become more sustainable.
Receiving 206.35 points on the GRA's certification scale and having implemented 76 steps, Pizza by Certé has gone more than 100 percent above the requirements necessary for certification.
"We are aware that there is a growing need for restaurants to be conscious of their environmental impact now, more than ever before," said Chef Edward Sylvia. "Now, when customers see the accredited Certified Green Restaurant seal in the window, they'll know we are committed to helping the environment in every way possible.
In accordance to the GRA's Certification guidelines, 3 Star Certified Green Restaurants must meet a minimum of 175 points in six of seven key environmental categories. Pizza by Certé is one of only 16 restaurants in New York to have achieved this distinction. To achieve this distinction, Pizza by Certé completed 76 steps, including:
Other green commitments made by the establishment include using eco-pizza boxes from Greenbox, utilization of rain water for non-consumption uses, and having all deliveries made by foot or hybrid truck.

At the same time, my former adapter was annotated with @EBean wich only allows constructors with a Context parameter or void. None of the four constructors of EndlessAdapter is allowed by @EBean. Should I drop one solution or there is another way?

Hello Seibertron! Here is a look at Transformers Prime: Ultra Magnus. Voyager Class.
He is the last Autobot Voyager release for 2012 and is being released with Thundertron or Skyquake case mates.
HUGE thanks to Andy at Kapow Toys - http://www.kapowtoys.co.uk in the UK! Speedy and excellent service as always and a real good price too.
The box as usual highlights how much more paint they used on the prototype compared to the final figure! This is becoming one of the real annoying areas to me. He should have some extra red on his chest and a silver waist. It would help break up all the blue.
Magnus is a great Voyager figure. Much better than RID Optimus and Bulkhead as the Powerizer gimmick is not a distraction... but it is pointless.
He has transparent blue arms, chest piece, shoulder and neck areas. Pointless as there's no way his weapon or any others I think will make his arms light up. His chest area goes all the way though to a window on his back so you can shine a light through him. His chest is made up of false side doors.
His back is primarily his cab roof. Magnus doesn't suffer from the hollow leg or arm areas many of the RID figures have. I didn't transform his leg wheels correctly in this view but it's still acceptable.
He has very nice articulation. I find the shoulder ball joints too loose though. Ball joint shoulders and legs, waist, arm swivel, elbows, wrists, swivel thighs, knees and feet.
He has yellow eyes painted over the light piping. It still works and I prefer the eyes this way personally. The head is on a ball joint with good movement. It's actually stuck a panel on the back of his head.
Magnus has 3 missiles on each shoulder. I don't believe they are removable. They maybe but I don't want to break them.
He comes with a missile and a Light-Up Battle Hammer Mechtech Blaster. It's really too large. The Hammer piece makes it look odd and the weight of it brings the arms down.
The Hammer mode is the gun flipped out and lights up green. It does have a tab to lock it into place though. His missile can fit on his arms, shoulders or the gun itself.
I can't say I am a massive fan of Magnus with a Hammer anyway and prefer other weapons.
The transformation is really simple and fun. His wheels wrap around his legs or you could leave them like the Cyberverse has them.
He converts into a mobile gun truck and this is where the Powerizer weapon really fails!
This is how it is supposed to attach, but it doesn't. The pegs just don't fit into the holes and the hammer gets in the way. You can flip it over and it looks better but a bit wobbly due to the weight.
You can max him out with weapons like the City Commander ones which really help. Some say he should have a white cab. I'm not too sure but this is TFP Magnus not G1 so it doesn't have to.
Again Hasbro really went tight on paint compared to the box! No silver smokestacks looks terrible and there are rear areas missing too. I will be painting these myself soon.
All in all Ultra Magnus is a nice figure and worth buying. A good scale and a lot of poses you can do with him. Add some paint, replace the weapon and it's much improved.
I shall be posting some comparison pics below. I hope you liked this review, please ask quesions and leave feedback on ways I can improve my next review. Have fun!
Some comparison pictures.
The 2 versions. The Cyberverse one shows the different way the legs look.
The Cyberverse alt mode has a different colour scheme on the cab and more silver. I think the weapon works better too.
FE Prime is a little taller than Magnus but the RID version almost the same size.
Magnus scales pretty well in alt mode. A little longer than Prime but not as tall which he should be in real life.
Group shot with some Autobots.
Magnus all beefed up for war! He's as long as GDO Hot Spot but not as high.
Magnus faces off with Dreadwing

Converting Slow Cooker Recipes
courtesy of Chet's Crock
Oven To Slow Cooker Conversions
For most slow cookers, the low setting is about 200 degrees F. and the high setting is about 300 degrees F.
One hour on high is equal to 2 to 2 1/2 hours on low.
Here are the conversions for regular ovens to slow cookers:
- 15 to 30 minutes oven = 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours on high in slow cooker or 4-6 hours on low.
- 35 to 45 minutes oven = 3 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
- 60 minutes to 3 hours oven = 4-5 hours on high or 8-18 hours on low.
Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations require at least 8 hours on low.

Developing for Google Glass, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) today introduced a new SPG app that is the first from a hospitality company to leverage this emerging, wearable technology platform. Creating new ways to be closer to its guests, Starwood's new SPG app for Google Glass extends the company's leadership and adoption of the latest digital technologies.
The new SPG app for Google Glass empowers mobile travelers with a new view as they explore destinations and book stays at nearly 1,200 hotels worldwide. The new experience will enable guests to review their SPG account and immerse themselves in any of Starwood's nine, design-led brands: St. Regis®, The Luxury Collection®, W®, Westin®, Le Méridien®, Sheraton®, Four Points® by Sheraton, Aloft®, and Element®.
"Travelers are more tech-savvy than ever before, and wearable technology is the newest platform that provides information in an easy to access way to support the needs of our guests and enhance their travel experience," said Chris Holdren, SVP SPG and Digital for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. "Our goal is to explore these new technologies and learn from our guests' interactions with them so we can continue to deliver the best experiences at every point in their journey – from when our guests are dreaming about their next destination to when they walk in our front door and beyond."
The SPG app for Google Glass was designed and built entirely by Starwood's internal team of tech experts with the goal of delivering a seamless experience for its guests. The app is designed to assist travelers in each stage of their journey - from imaginative destination exploration to practical logistics planning before, during, and after a visit - all within a quick, easy, and streamlined format valued by on-the-go users of wearable technology. The SPG app for Google Glass is the only Glass app currently available that enables booking a stay at any of Starwood's hotels around the world.
The personalized interface of the SPG app for Google Glass is ideal for any Glass Explorer, whether the guest is searching for upcoming business trips or a long summer vacation. The app provides users with critical account information, including number of Starpoints and upcoming and past stays to help travelers make the most of their SPG membership.
SPG app for Google Glass Highlights:
- Built for Glass: The SPG app for Google Glass takes advantage of Glass's unique features, including voice command search and geo location, and is one of the first apps built on the new Glass Developer Kit.
- Search & Book: Members can voice search Starwood's nearly 1,200 global hotels and resorts by destination, airport code or checking what's nearby.
- Explore Hotels: Members can call or get turn-by-turn directions to any hotel and can also explore and share photos of the hotel amenities, rooms, local area, and more.
- Your SPG: Members can access up-to-date account information including Starpoint balance and upcoming stay details.
- State Aware: Like the SPG smartphone and iPad apps, the SPG app for Google Glass uses state aware technology to display upcoming stays, recognize arrival at a Starwood property, and customize the user experience accordingly.
"Being the first in the hospitality industry to introduce an app for Google Glass illustrates our larger strategy to be the industry-leading digital innovator," said Clay Cowan, VP Global Digital for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. "Starwood's agility and scope has established our brands as early tech adopters, and we plan to maintain our lead with our innovative work in the digital space."
The release of the SPG app for Google Glass beta product allows the Google Explorer network to give direct feedback to Starwood's design and development teams, providing deeper insight into how different channels are used and what makes them meaningful to users. This insight, coupled with the in-house tech talent, will allow Starwood to continue enhancing the SPG app for Google Glass and develop other wearable technology products that best respond to the desires of the SPG community and further cement Starwood's reputation as a leader in digital innovation.
The SPG app for Google Glass is now available to Google Glass Explorers. More information on the SPG app for Google Glass can be found at www.spg.com/glass.

All Blacks
It was impossible not to feel for Andrew Hore as he hunched into a small crowded room on the second floor of the All Blacks' hotel.
This was not the usual version of the happy hooker.
There were no witty one-liners, no grunting giddays, no scraggly stubble or casual beanie.
This was a 34-year-old man laid bare after his name had been dragged through the mud for the past three days.
Suit pressed, shoes shined, eyes wide open - Hore took a deep breath in a bid to relieve his anxiety before taking a seat just a few feet in front of the gathered New Zealand media.
"I want to say how bad I feel and how embarrassed I am to be in this situation," he said.
"It is not the All Black way and I have let myself down and the team down and probably the whole country is pretty proud of what we do."
It was uncomfortable to see a hard-man showing his vulnerable side and a guilty moment for those who were quick to demonise the Otago man.
"I have to take what I have got and go back and start building a reputation as a good, clean, hard footy player and hopefully I can do that in the next Super Rugby competition, when I get back playing," he said.
Which is about when the violins stopped playing, and the reality of this messy saga hit home. It has been handled poorly from start to finish by all concerned.
Hore didn't deserve the character assassination he's received in many quarters. He's played 74 tests over 10 years without one serious slip-up.
On that evidence he is not a thug.
This should have been said on Saturday night in Cardiff, not Wednesday afternoon in London.
But Hore did knock a bloke called Bradley Davies out from behind, and for that he deserved a fitting suspension.
Whether he got one for lashing out just because his chase line was impeded at Millennium Stadium is highly debatable.
He didn't mean to knock him out, but he did. It wasn't meant to look ugly, but it did.
The injury caused shouldn't shape the punishment, but it does.
This was an ugly concussion that affected Davies for days.
Yet another chance to send a strong message about reckless play has been missed.
And the IRB judiciary shouldn't have bought a dummy in handing down a soft five-week ban, but they did.
Hore's ban is soft because it includes three pre-season matches of which he will probably benefit from missing, and might not have laced the boots for anyway.
Yes, he is the new captain of the Highlanders, but many All Blacks do not play during the Super Rugby pre-season as they filter back to their franchises after annual leave.
The judiciary were told missing the pre-season would have "significant and meaningful consequences" for Hore.
Like what?
His coach Steve Hansen said this week player workloads were the biggest issue facing the global game.
Another is the public's perception of an IRB judicial system that is inconsistent and weak, seemingly shackled by guidelines that are easily manipulated by clever lawyers and apologetic players.
NZRU boss Steve Tew pointed out that more rigid guidelines would jeopardise a fair trial and that the guidelines for foul play had been sanctioned after a "morality conference" last year including past players, UK journalists and coaches.
Judging each case individually provided a chance for all sides to be heard, he said.

Dear Abby: I was surprised when it was announced in my church newsletter recently that an event was to conclude with the release of hundreds of balloons into the sky. It took some doing to explain that what goes into the sky eventually comes back down to earth.
I'm not an active environmentalist, but I have been involved with my daughters' Girl Scout troops for 10 years. We teach the girls to recycle, conserve and take care of Mother Earth.Balloons released into the air often travel many miles before returning to earth, and their effect on wildlife can be deadly. Animals eat the balloons, which cause intestinal blockage and eventual starvation. They also get tangled up in the strings and, unable to free themselves, die a slow and painful death because they can't reach food or water. Also, balloons are not biodegradable. Those colored bits of shriveled plastic you see littering the beaches are going to be there for a long time, if they don't get caught in some fish's throat first.
I read in my local newspaper that some states - New York, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, New Jersey Kentucky, Virginia and California - have enacted laws specifically to curb or eliminate the release of balloons.
Abby, if you print my letter, you will be educating many readers who do not realize the potential harm they are causing when they release those pretty balloons. It would be so much better to keep them and deliver them to a nursing home instead.
- Friend of the Environment,
Burnsville, Minn.
Dear Friend: I'm delighted to help you spread the word to my many readers who are committed to preserving our environment. We all should be.
Dear Abby: I am a semiprofessional photographer. I charge for some of my work, but most of it is done for fun.
Recently I attended the wedding reception of some close friends, and I shot four rolls of film (about 100 photos) at the event. I had the film processed and printed, and I printed labels for the backs of the pictures giving the date and names of those in the photos. I put them in a wedding album and gave it to the bride and groom as a wedding gift.
A friend of theirs invited me to her wedding reception. It was unspoken, but understood, that I would take pictures there. I paid for four rolls of film. However, since the bride works for a photo lab, I thought she could get the film processed and printed free (or at a discount), so I simply gave her the rolls of film.
She had assumed that I would pay for processing the film, and now she's upset with me. I think she was expecting too much for nothing and should have been happy to pay for her own developing costs. Am I wrong?

Dear Ohio Photographer: Unspoken messages are frequently misunderstood. Without words to clarify the details, how could either of you know what the other expected or assumed? In the future, reach an agreement (in writing) before committing to any photography assignments - even with friends.

A man who robbed an Auckland bar at gunpoint making patrons fear for their lives has been jailed.
Customers at the Thirsty Whale Bar described Taire Epere and his three co-offenders as "crazy" and thought they were going to die, the Blenheim District Court heard yesterday.
Judge Stephen Harrop sentenced Epere, a 35-year-old plasterer from Havelock, to five years and six months jail on a single charge of aggravated robbery.
Judge Harrop said the masked men entered the Mt Albert Rd bar about 10.45pm on July 25 and told everyone to lie down, while Epere waved a shotgun at staff and patrons.
The group forced the bar manager to hand over about $700 in cash from behind the bar, took money from four poker machines, then led him to a back office where they demanded he open a safe.
When he told them he couldn't there was a struggle and Epere struck the man in the back of the head, leaving him with a wound that required six stitches, Judge Harrop said.
The group also took cash and wallets from customers, before fleeing in a stolen car, he said.
The judge told Epere the experience was terrifying for the people in the bar.
There was evidence Epere felt coerced, the judge said, but he was still the person who was armed and he and the other offenders had persisted in seeking more and more money during the robbery.
Since his arrest, Epere had written letters of apology to the victims and appeared genuinely remorseful, Judge Harrop said.
He had also agreed to meet with his victims in a restorative justice meeting if they agreed, which showed considerable courage and suggested he did have some empathy for his victims, the court heard.
The offending appeared to be "in a whole new league" to Epere's previous offending, Judge Harrop said.
Epere was on release conditions after being jailed for receiving stolen goods, but appeared to have his life on track and the offending came as a shock to people who knew him.
One of Epere's co-offenders had also pleaded guilty and was awaiting sentence. Another man was awaiting trial, while the fourth offender had not been caught.
