May I first refer to the claim that there have been code violations and cruel, degrading and inhuman behavior by the police as well as torture and the detention of prisoners on an arbitrary basis and for unspecified terms.
The laws and regulations of Saudi Arabia prohibit torture in all its forms and the Kingdom is a signatory to the UN Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Torture and inhuman treatment are crimes punishable by the laws and regulations of the Kingdom. Article (36) of the Basic System of Government declares that 'the State provides security to all of its citizens and residents and no person shall be restrained or arrested or detained unless on lawful grounds'.
Article (100) of the Directorate of General Security Order states that if the accused refuses to provide information, he or she should be asked by the investigator, without any compulsion or torture, to explain his or her grounds for remaining silent.
Article (231) of the same Order directs that whosoever brings about the detention of an individual without due cause, or inflicts harm or injury, should be punished by imprisonment for a term equivalent to the period of false imprisonment and be held liable for damages.
Article (28) of the Prison Regulations states that no prisoner or detainee should be suffer any form of assault. Punitive measures are to be taken against any civil or military official convicted of such violations.
Accused persons must have a fair trial in all its stages. The accused has the right to delegate his defense to whosoever he wishes. Article (59) of the order of Procedure of Administration Work at the Shariah Court says, 'everyone has the right to delegate the defiance of this case without limitation. If the accused does not understand the Arabic language the court must provide a translator without charge to the accused'
Article (33) of the Judicial System of Saudi Arabia declares that all court sittings must be in public unless the court feels that the proceedings should be private in order to spare the embarrassment of individuals and their families, or to protect the general good. The verdict in all cases must be made public.
The prisons in Saudi Arabia were not established for the sake of punishment and revenge. Their aims are to reform and rehabilitate offenders. There are several programs applied inside Saudi Arabia to reform and educate prisoners into the ways of good citizens who may then contribute to the advancement and development of the country. When the prisoner has served his term he goes back to his work and resumes his place in society with full rights and without conditions or limitations. Each year, especially during the Holy month of Ramadan, the government releases a large number of prisoners purely as a noble, humanitarian gesture.
Referring to the point about arbitrary arrest and detention and the claim that prisoners may not know that they have been arrested and are sometimes denied a fair trial, I would like to point out that the criminal system in Saudi Arabia takes very great care of arrest procedures and has set up a number of controls to ensure that justice is properly administered.
As regards the matter of arrest and temporary detention, Article (5) of this system states that upon confirmed suspicions, the period under arrest without charge should not exceed 3 days and must be based on the written directives of the investigative body'.
Article (8) of the same system declares that at the end of a three -day detention period the accused must be set free by order of the head of the division in which the investigation takes place, if there is no evidence of the persons guilt. However, in the case of major crimes, the authorities will issue a memorandum placing the individuals under arrest for a period not to exceed 21 days from the date of the memorandum. This also reflects Article (12) which calls for the accused to the presented to court after 21 days so that the case may be reviewed.
I would know like to address the claim that because of the vast oil reserves and great economic importance of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia the UN and individual states have conspired to cover up violations of human rights by the Kingdom.
I wish to reiterate that this is untrue and does not reflect the new world order which calls for justice and the protection of the human rights of all people. Neither does the claim reflect the reality of the situation since the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has used its oil revenues to ensure the prosperity and advancement of Saudi Society through massive investment in education, culture and the infrastructure. Saudi Arabia enjoys universal free education, free health services, social security for all, overseas scholarships and training for the sake of national development. Furthermore some seven million non-Saudi workers and residents (a large percentage of the total population) enjoy the financial and social gains of their labors and can transfer income to their home countries as they wish.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given much support to international organizations involved in the advancement of peace, stability and international welfare. The country has contributed in no small measure to international aid programs and is a major donor and loan provider to the less developed countries.
The claim that there are 100 to 200 political prisoners in the Kingdom is untrue. As has been confirmed by the Ministry of the Interior on numerous occasions, there are no political prisoners in Saudi Arabia.
It has been said that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has refused to cooperate with international human rights organizations. Once again, this is not the case. Saudi Arabia has replied in detail and clarified many issues relating to all the Amnesty International reports for the years 1996 to 1999, thereby confirming its keen interest and commitment to the cause of human rights. The kingdom is close to establishing government and non-government institutions to ensure further the protection of human rights in the country.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia acknowledges the noble objectives of Amnesty International. However, the organization's reports often lack accuracy and are short on factual information, with a resulting loss in objectivity. We hope this can be avoided by Amnesty in Future.

We are just 3 miles from the market town of Settle, between the lovely Yorkshire Dales National Park and the stunningly impressive Trough of Bowland.
Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales Falconry Centre and Hawk Experience
The first privately owned Falconry Centre in the North of England
Falconry and the art of hunting with birds of prey can be traced back to 2000 BC in China and Mesopotamia.
When Europe was invaded by Huns and Asians around 400 AD they brought the practice with them. In Europe it became a sport adopted by kings and nobles and was considered a status symbol. In reality the time and cost of keeping and training such birds was beyond the means of all but the privileged few.
The position of King's Falconer commanded a high status as the knowledge, experience and skills of a top falconer were widely recognised and appreciated.
Today we keep those skills alive by flying our birds, not for sport, but in appreciation of their superb abilities, their beauty, and our wonder at how they fill their niche in the web of life.
Birds of prey can be divided in two distinct types, broad-wing and narrow-wing.
Most British birds of prey such as Owls, Buzzards, Hawks and Eagles have relatively broad wings that are ideal for soaring and hovering and, in the case of owls, for achieving completely silent flight.
Falcons are narrow-winged. Their wings are also swept back and designed for speed. Peregrine falcons have been measured diving at over 200 miles per hour, which makes them the fastest creatures on Earth.
At The Yorkshire Dales Falconry Centre we will show you examples of how birds of prey have evolved to exploit every niche, every opportunity and every skill needed to help them survive.
When you see our different birds in flight you will appreciate how they have become superb masters of their own particular methods of hunting.
The Yorkshire Dales Falconry Centre, Crows Nest Road, Nr. Giggleswick, Settle, North Yorkshire, LA2 8AS Tel: 01729 825160| email: email@example.com
WE ARE NOW OPEN EVERY DAY but in really bad weather we may not be able to fly the birds.
Displays are currently at 12 noon, and 1-30pm
Please note we offer no refunds for cancellations, but you can re-book for an alternative date

Introducing the rest of the team!
By Reggie-Oracle on Feb 27, 2012
Some time ago I wrote a post introducing two members of my team, Fernando and Gabriella. I was focused at the time on introducing relatively new members to the team and, in my error, I failed to introduce one member who has been with me for quite some time. We have also since added 3 more individuals to our growing team. This team is called the Windows Experience Group and we are doing some really exciting work. You've already met Fernando and Gabriella. Here is the rest of the team.
Iggy Galarza leads our MySQL Installer team.
Iggy has been with MySQL since 2006 and has been an integral part in many initiatives ranging from the MySQL installer to solving server problems. With a wide range of skills including C, C++, C#, and Wix he's become a key resource in the "fight for Windows"
|Javier Treviño serves as local facilities supervisor as well as software developer. He is currently working on some new and exciting applications to make a MySQL on Windows developer's life easier.
|Javier Rivera recently joined the team and will be working with Iggy on the installer. He brings an excellent development background and great enthusiasm. We look forward to great things from Javier!
Roberto Garcia was referred to us by a previous team member and boy are we glad to have him. He's a great technologist who loves to dig into interesting problems.
He's currently working with Fernando on the Connector and has a great interest in improving our support for Entity Framework.

Injured Man Says Brooklyn Officers Tortured Him in Custody
By DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI
Published: August 13, 1997
Prosecutors are investigating allegations that police officers beat and tortured a man while he was in custody at a Brooklyn station house, officials said yesterday.
Two officers were placed on modified duty last night, meaning that their guns have been taken away and they have been put on desk jobs while the case is investigated by the Brooklyn District Attorney's office and the Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau, police officials said.
The lawyer for the man, who was arrested after a fight outside a Flatbush nightclub early Saturday, said the officers had beaten him and shoved the wooden handle of a toilet plunger into his rectum and then into his mouth. According to the lawyer, the officers also shouted racial slurs at the man, Abner Louima, 33, who is a Haitian immigrant.
Mr. Louima was in critical but stable condition at Coney Island Hospital after emergency surgery to repair a puncture in his small intestine and injuries to his bladder, according to an investigator who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Mr. Louima had no bruises or injuries when officers took him into custody outside Club Rendez-vous on Flatbush Avenue, according to his family. Three hours later, an ambulance arrived at the precinct and rushed Mr. Louima to the hospital. His lawyer said he was bleeding profusely.
Four police officers responding to the disturbance at the nightclub had arrested Mr. Louima on charges of disorderly conduct, obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest. But Mr. Louima told his lawyer, Brian Figueroux, that the officers became furious when he protested his arrest, twice stopping the patrol car to beat him with their fists.
Then, at the station house, two officers, apparently angry because some of the clubgoers had fought with the police, led Mr. Louima to the men's room, removed his trousers and attacked him with the plunger, Mr. Figueroux said. The officers, who are white, shouted racial slurs, the lawyer said.
''He was screaming: 'Why are you doing this to me? Why? Why?' '' said the lawyer. ''He thought they were going to kill him. This isn't police brutality. This is torture.''
Indeed, law enforcement officials said the details alleged in the attack were so vicious that even as they began investigating it, they doubted that it could be true. But on Monday doctors at Coney Island Hospital said that Mr. Louima's internal injuries were apparently caused by ''a blunt instrument,'' and investigators shifted their inquiry into high gear.
''Incredible as it sounds, it now appears that there's some validity to this,'' said an investigator, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Police Commissioner Howard Safir placed the officers on modified assignment last night. ''Obviously, Commissioner Safir thinks the charges are horrendous, and if they're proven true, the officers will be dismissed and face criminal prosecution,'' said his spokeswoman, Marilyn Mode.
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who usually rises to the defense of police officers under suspicion, had unusually harsh comments on the incident last night. ''These charges are shocking to any decent human being, and they're being thoroughly investigated by the Police Department and the Brooklyn District Attorney,'' the Mayor said. ''These charges, if substantiated, should result in the severest penalties, including substantial terms of imprisonment and dismissal from the force.''
Mr. Louima is a legal immigrant who moved to New York from Haiti six years ago. He lives with his wife and a 1-year-old child and works as a security guard.
''He's never had any problem with the police at all before this,'' his brother, Jonas, said. ''That's what's so amazing. He's just a family man. And this is what they do to him?''
Mr. Louima and several friends and relatives had gone to the club Friday evening to watch a performance by the Haitian band Phantom. After the club closed, at 4 A.M. Saturday, the patrons were herded into the street, where a fight broke out involving several women, said Jonas Louisma, who spells his last name differently.
''I knew when you see people fighting, pretty soon there would be shooting, so I walked back and watched it from a distance,'' he said. A police patrol car arrived at the scene and the melee appeared to spread, Jonas Louisma said.
''Next thing I saw, I saw my brother laying in the floor, handcuffed, no bruises, no blood,'' Jonas Louisma said. ''He told me to call his lawyer.'' Jonas Louisma said he went to visit his brother at the precinct some time after 8 A.M., and was told that his brother had left the station house. Jonas Louisma said, ''The guy behind the desk told us: 'Your brother got into a fight. He got a little hurt, so he walked out of the precinct and we took him to the hospital.' ''
A spokesman for the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, the main police union, declined to comment last night, as did officers entering the 70th Precinct station house. The building lies on a block of Lawrence Avenue, in a residential area of the Ocean Parkway neighborhood.
At the hospital, a police officer was stationed just inside the door of the surgical trauma ward, where Mr. Louima was recovering. The officer prevented the patient's uncle, the Rev. Philius Nicolas 2d, from taking a reporter in to visit Mr. Louima last night.
Charles Gueria, an official with the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, declined to comment on the case. But police investigators said detectives and prosecutors met with Mr. Louima yesterday to review his account of the incident.
Mr. Louima told investigators that one officer held him in a bathroom stall while the other officer assaulted him with the plunger and screamed racial slurs, his lawyer said. The officers then carried him to a holding cell and locked him inside, Mr. Figueroux said. Shortly afterward, inmates complained that Mr. Louima was bleeding profusely, so police officers called for an ambulance, he said.
Prosecutors have yet to interview any of the police officers involved in the case. But one police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said a supervisor in the precinct had made a statement corroborating parts of Mr. Louima's account.
''What we all wonder is, where were the superior officers?'' Mr. Figueroux said. ''Why did no one stop this?''
Some community leaders and minority residents have long complained of misconduct and brutality by police officers in minority neighborhoods, and in several recent cases, officers have been accused of using excessive force against black or Hispanic suspects. The most publicized recent case involved the death of Anthony Baez, who was arrested in the Bronx after a confrontation with officers over a late-night football game. The officer in that case, Francis X. Livoti, was acquitted of criminal charges but was dismissed from the force for using a banned choke hold.
Dennis Walcott, head of the New York Urban League, called on Police Commissioner Safir and Mayor Giuliani to reach out to Haitian leaders to help ease the suspicion some members of minorities feel towards the police department.
''If this investigation is to have any credibility in the Haitian community, the Mayor and the Police Commissioner must work with the community leaders,'' he said.

If you love the look of glass garage doors but are concerned with the energy conservation in your home, bp's line of insulated glass garage doors will provide you with the perfect way to incorporate the design you want worry-free. When temperatures hit those extreme levels, it's easy for your energy bills to also skyrocket, and one of the best ways to help keep those bills down is to ensure that your home is insulated for maximum energy conservation. Our unique line uses argon-filled panels, made from Low-E glass, that are sealed at the time of fabrication to guarantee maximum conservation and efficiency. If you live in harsher climates, or are simply an energy-conscious individual, you no longer have to make the choice between what look you want and what your home needs; with bp's insulated glass garage doors, you can have both.
bp Glass Garage Doors – Insulated Line
Choosing from our line of insulated glass garage doors doesn't mean that you'll be cheating yourself on stylistic choices, either. Our trademark customization is available throughout all our different lines and products. Insulated panels are available in a selection of colors to match whatever color scheme you've already established or to match with existing window designs. You can also choose between transparent or obscured panels for variable opacity to suit your wants. That means that if you want the high visibility and added natural light that an all-glass door gives, without creating a break in the barrier against the elements, bp's Insulated Glass Garage Doors are exactly what you're looking for. And if you want an insulated glass door for your home, home extension, or for commercial use instead, we have the sizing options to fit your specific need.
Glass Garage Doors have always been a great choice for trying to boost both the curb appeal and value of your home, and bp's insulated line makes it more convenient than ever to make that choice for your own location. No longer will the climate you live in dictate your designs, you don't have to be limited by excessively hot or cold weather any longer. We are continually expanding and innovating our lines to make sure that we cater to all types of specific needs, and our insulated line is just one example of our success. So for whatever remodeling or construction job you're working on, bp is the Architect's Choice for Insulated Glass Garage Doors.
Are All Glass Garage Door Manufacturers Insulated?
Unfortunately, most brands of glass doors are NOT insulated. And simply because a glass door is weather-sealed does not mean it is air/water tight, or that it meets energy efficiency standards. The process for manufacturing and installing insulated glass paneling is technically complex and requires a high amount of expertise in Low-E glass and other materials used. Additionally, unless the panels are sealed in place at the time of fabrication, there is still no guarantee it is dependably insulated against the elements. All fenestration products (Doors and windows) should be laboratory tested for air infiltration, water infiltration, and U-values, then given a testing result that meets the local code. The only glass garage door company that meets these standards, is also factory-direct, and ships worldwide, is BP Glass Garage Doors & Entryway Systems, Inc.
What To Look For In An Insulated Glass Garage Door
In fact, it is not uncommon to hear horror stories of individuals who have installed the Regular glass sectional doors in a living space, thinking it is all the same. This lack of education can cause serious damage if the correct product is not installed from the get go. Ex) water leaking onto hardwood floors making them buckle, and cold or hot air escaping around the door. Before choosing an insulated glass garage door, it is important to look for a pre-labeled product which shows an NFRC sticker; which shows the air infiltration rating, water rating, and U-Value rating for energy compliance. It's the same type of sticker or plaque found on a fire rated door. BP – Glass Garage Doors has a Patent on that technology, and no other door manufacturer has it.

Maize (Zea mays L) is one of the most versatile emerging crops having wider adaptability under varied agro-climatic conditions. Globally, maize is known as queen of cereals because it has the highest genetic yield potential among the cereals. It is cultivated on nearly 150 m ha in about 160 countries having wider diversity of soil, climate, biodiversity and management practices that contributes 36 % (782 m t) in the global grain production. The United States of America (USA) is the largest producer of maize contributes nearly 35 % of the total production in the world and maize is the driver of the US economy. The USA has the highest productivity (> 9.6 t ha-1) which is double than the global average (4.92 t ha-1). Whereas, the average productivity in India is 2.43 t ha-1.
In India, maize is the third most important food crops after rice and wheat. According to advance estimate it is cultivated in 8.7 m ha (2010-11) mainly during Kharif season which covers 80% area. Maize in India, contributes nearly 9 % in the national food basket and more than Rs. 100 billion to the agricultural GDP at current prices apart from the generating employment to over 100 million man-days at the farm and downstream agricultural and industrial sectors. In addition to staple food for human being and quality feed for animals, maize serves as a basic raw material as an ingredient to thousands of industrial products that includes starch, oil, protein, alcoholic beverages, food sweeteners, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, film, textile, gum, package and paper industries etc.
Recent trends (2003-04 to 2008-09) in growth rate of area (2.6 %), production (6.4 %) and productivity (3.6 %) of maize in India has been of high order and experienced highest growth rate among the food crops. Since 1950-51, the area, production and productivity of maize have increased by more than 3.4, 12 and 4.5 times from 3.2 m ha, 1.7 m t and 547 kg ha-1 to current level of 8.17 m ha, 19.33 m t and 2414 kg ha-1, respectively due to increasing maize demand for diversified uses. In India, the maize is used as human food (23%), poultry feed (51 %), animal feed (12 %), industrial (starch) products (12%), beverages and seed (1 % each). With the increasing trends of maize production, the projected demand of maize (22.73 m t) by the end of XIth five year plan (2011-12) will be achieved through improved maize production technologies focused on �Single Cross Hybrids�.
The maize is cultivated throughout the year in all states of the country for various purposes including grain, fodder, green cobs, sweet corn, baby corn, pop corn in peri-urban areas. The predominant maize growing states that contributes more than 80 % of the total maize production are Andhra Pradesh (20.9 %), Karnataka (16.5 %), Rajasthan (9.9 %), Maharashtra (9.1 %), Bihar (8.9 %), Uttar Pradesh (6.1 %), Madhya Pradesh (5.7 %), Himachal Pradesh (4.4 %). Apart from these states maize is also grown in Jammu and Kashmir and North-Eastern states. Hence, the maize has emerged as important crop in the non-traditional regions i.e. peninsular India as the state like Andhra Pradesh which ranks 5th in area (0.79 m ha) has recorded the highest production (4.14 m t) and productivity (5.26 t ha-1) in the country although the productivity in some of the districts of Andhra Pradesh is more or equal to the USA.

The stages by which a bill becomes law are described in a useful House of Commons Information Office Factsheet. The detail of the procedure has changed in some ways since 2005/06 when the London Olympics Bill was introduced because Standing Committees have been renamed as Public Bill Committees, but the main stages are the same. Let's trace the London Olympics Bill through its Parliamentary stages.
Stage 1: Commons First Reading
The London Olympics Bill was introduced in the Commons for its first reading on July 14th 2005 was ordered to be printed as Bill 45 2005/06 and to be read a second time on July 18th.
Stage 2: Commons Second Reading
At second reading the House considers the bill in principle and debate is often wide ranging. Our Bill was debated on its second reading on 18th July, approved in principle, and referred to standing committee for clause by clause examination.
Play audio: Second Reading of the Olympics Bill, 21st July 2005. (63 mins)
Stage 3: Committee
The Bill was examined in detail by Standing Committee D on 13th October 2005 am and pm, and on 18th October am and pm
Stage 4: Report and Third Reading
It was then reprinted as amended in Committee as Bill 62 2005/06 and returned to the House for its report stage. At the report stage, a bill is considered again as a whole rather than clause by clause. The House may make further amendments but does not consider clauses to which no amendments have been tabled.
Play audio: the report stage included a lively discussion regarding the liability of London council tax payers in the event of an overspend on the games. (51 mins)
The final Commons stage of a bill is the Third Reading, usually taken immediately after the conclusion of Report. This enables the House to take an overview of the Bill, as amended in Committee or on Report. No amendments may be made at this stage. Our bill was debated at the report stage in the Commons on December 6 th 2005. The third reading followed immediately on the same day, at which the bill was passed and sent to the Lords.
Stage 5: Lords First Reading
The legislative process in the Lords is broadly similar to that in the Commons. Our bill received its first reading in the Lords on December 7th 2005 and was reprinted as the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill (House of Lords bill 52 of session 2005/06). It was then examined and reported on by the Lords Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Select Committee in HL 95 2005-06 and HL 102 2005/06
Stage 6: Lords Second Reading
It was read for a second time in the House and debated on January 11th 2006 and committed to a Grand Committee [Committee of the Whole House] for clause by clause examination.
Stage 7: Committee
The bill was debated in detail clause by clause in Grand Committee on 31st January 2006 , 2nd February 2006 and 15th February 2006 and returned to the House on Report.
Stage 8: Report and Third Reading
It was considered at the report stage on 6th March 2006. At the conclusion of the report stage the bill was reprinted as amended on report as House of Lords Bill 82, 2005/06. The Bill was read for the third time in the Lords on 14th March and the Lords amendments printed.
Stage 9: Return to Commons
The bill as amended in the Lords was returned to the Commons and debated on 21st March 2006. The Lords and Commons must agree the text of each bill before can become law. In this case, the Lords amendments 1-20 were all agreed and the bill was returned to the Lords
Stage 10: Royal Assent
Now that a text had been agreed by both Houses, our bill could be submitted for the Royal Assent. The Crown must give assent to a bill before it can become law. Our bill received royal assent on 30th March and passed into law as the The London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006.
The Act is intended to facilitate the organisation of the Games, and to aid the UK in compliance with its responsibilities and obligations. The main measures of the Act provide for:
- The establishment of the Olympic Delivery Authority, its powers, duties and functions
- The delivery of transport needs for the Games, including the necessary preparations in the lead up to 2012;
- The regulation of advertising near the Games
- The regulation of street trading near the Games

A preview sale of 20 select items from the new Peter Som for DesigNation S/S 2014 collection begins today at Kohl's. It was announced back in September that fashioner designer Peter Som would be the fourth designer for Kohl's DesigNation limited edition collection.
At an event earlier this week, several lifestyle bloggers took part in a fun fashion challenge that ranged from mix and matching items from the collection with other fashions found at Kohl's Jersey City store, to creating outfits to reflect this spring's top trends and special occasions such as Easter and Mother's Day. I paired a denim jacket with the bright striped romper ($64) and the Motorcycle (Moto) Vest ($78) with the tapered jumpsuit ($88) and a Jennifer Lopez necklace. (See the slideshow for more.) The outfits can take you from casual to evening wear.
Other favorites from the collection: Mermaid Dress ($68), Tank Maxi Dress ($78) and the Eyelet Ruffle Dress ($74).
The Peter Som collection is inspired by the French Caribbean island of St. Barths, Som's favorite vacation spot and evokes the destination's laid back yet luxurious feel. While the fashions reflect the luxe lifestyle of St. Barths, the prices are affordable. Prices range from $36 - $88. The full Peter Som for DesigNation S/S 2014 collection goes on sale April 10.
For more information and to purchase items from the collection, visit this link to the Peter Som for DesigNation collection.
I wrote this review while participating in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Kohl's. I attended a live event and received a promotional item to thank me for participating.

The incredible shrinking wetsuit
So I was in Maui the last week, doing my best to spend as much time under-water as possible, given the constraint that I also had to at least occasionally meet up with my family for dinners etc.
And I got in a solid lucky thirteen tanks, with the added bonus that I don't think I had a single dive where I came up with less than 1200psi. Which means that I'm definitely no longer the person that forces other divers to come up early due to being low on air. Woot!
So I was being good and sporty all week, but despite that, roughly half-way through the trip, I noticed that I had a much easier time fitting in the ML (male large) suit than the MM (male medium) ones.
And it wasn't just one of them that had shrunk - I checked a couple just to be sure. The suits that were a perfectly good fit on Saturday had suddenly shrunk and become tight by Wednesday.
It's magic, I tell you. Magic. The wetsuit-fairy is out to get me.

Belen Gualcho, April 2008.- Financed by the Millennium Challenge Account-Honduras and implemented by Global Village Project, a water reservoir is being built at El Tuyal as part of the Integrated Production System Project. Approximately twenty beneficiaries living in the area are currently participating as part of the local labor needed for the works. The reservoir will benefit about 10 Lenca families of El Tuyal, Mataral and Hierbabuena by facilitating access to irrigation systems for their horticultural production, specially during the summer time. The Integrated Production System Project is providing all heavy machinery needed in the construction of the dam, which will be providing continuous irrigation for approximately six hectares of farm land for horticultural production, particularly in the dry months.

174th Attack Wing's Richardson Selected to Become ANG Service Liaison Officer

174th Attack Wing
2/14/2013 -
Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, Syracuse, New York
-- The 174th Attack Wing will be saying farewell to one of its members in April as he begins a new chapter in his career.
Major Gary Richardson, Equal Opportunity Director for the 174th Attack Wing, will become the service liaison officer for the Air National Guard component at the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida.
Once there, he will run the Equal Opportunity program as an extension of the National Guard Bureau. The job is a logical progression for Richardson, since he helped develop the program for anyone coming into the Equal Opportunity Field. "It's a joint services position," said Richardson. "I'll be working closely with the Coast Guard, Marines, Air Force, Army and all DOD employees."
Richardson has come a long way in his career. He came in as an enlisted member and rose through the enlisted ranks to become an officer later in his career. Becoming the second African American to accomplish this at the 174th.
Richardson, from Painesville, Ohio, wanted to join the military since childhood. "I had two older brothers in the Army. They tried to get me to join the Army and I told them I was going to try the Air Force," said Richardson.
Not everyone in the Richardson family was happy with his decision to join the Armed Forces.
"My parents didn't want me to join the military at all," said Richardson. "They wanted me to be the first to attend college, so that's what I did."
After attending college he joined the active duty Air Force as a Civil Engineering troop and was stationed at Griffis Air Force Base in Rome, New York.
He left active duty to join the Air National Guard and was initially stationed at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Scotia, New York.
He then joined the 174th in May of 1995 and stayed with the same career in Civil Engineering.
It wasn't until after he attended human relations training that he would become involved in the Equal Opportunity career field.
"I answered a majority of the questions during the class as well as explained a lot of things that had to do with diversity to the class," said Richardson. "Afterwards Lt. Col. Mark Brady pulled me to the side and asked where I worked. I told him CE and he said I think you're in the wrong career field. You should try Equal Opportunity."
Lt. Col. Brady brought him into the EO career field and mentored him into becoming an officer. "Had it not been for Lt. Col. Brady, I wouldn't be here," said Richardson.
Three years after receiving his degree in Criminal Justice, Richardson became a commissioned officer.
Immediately after completing the six-week Equal Opportunity course, Richardson was selected to be an instructor. He has been an instructor since being selected in 2004.
In the course of eight years Richardson has gone from student to instructor to running the EO program. He gives a lot of the credit to his mentor and the leadership at the 174th.
"Hancock Field has without a doubt the best leadership I've ever seen," said Richardson. "They understand what it means to allow their people to do their jobs."
Richardson also credits the 174th for helping him grow both socially and professionally. "The cultivation of leadership is head and shoulders above anything I've seen out there in my time on active duty as well as a guardsman," said Richardson.
Leaving the 174th was a tough decision for Richardson, but he feels it was time to move on in his career.
"No matter where I go, no matter what position I hold, I will always be a member of the 174th in my heart," said Richardson. "This is where I was allowed to fulfill my dreams."
For younger airmen who are looking to going down a similar path, Richardson had this to say. "If you have a thought in your mind of something you want to accomplish and it only comes to you at night while you're asleep, you need to wake up and make it happen or else you'll just be dreaming. The 174th allowed me to wake up. I'm grateful for it and will always be grateful for it."

The following is an excerpt from Recipes from the Root Cellar: 270 Ways to Enjoy Winter Vegetables by Andrea Chesman (Storey, 2010). The excerpt is from Chapter 8: Main Dishes with Poultry.
Chicken Pot Pie with Sweet-Potato Biscuits Serves 6
Chicken pot pie is a dish I make year-round, varying the vegetables as the seasons suggest. This is my fall/winter version, filled with yummy root vegetables. If you prefer, different root vegetables, such as parsnips and carrots, can be used, though I do think this is one of the best uses for celery root. The sweet potato biscuit topping is a colorful variation on the traditional white-flour biscuit topping.
3 pounds chicken pieces (dark meat preferred)8–10 cups water2 onions, quartered2 garlic cloves1 teaspoon dill seeds1 teaspoon black peppercorns1 medium rutabaga or turnip, peeled and diced1 large celery root, peeled and diced6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil1 leek, trimmed and sliced6 tablespoons all-purpose flour1/2 cup dry white wine1 teaspoon dried thymeSalt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour1 tablespoon brown sugar2 tablespoons baking powder1 1/2 teaspoons salt2/3 cup (1 stick plus 3 tablespoons) butter, cut into small pieces1 1/4 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes, chilled1/4 cup buttermilk
1. Combine the chicken and water in a large pot. Add the onion, garlic, dill seeds, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is tender, 1 to 2 hours. Turn off the heat and let the chicken cool in the cooking liquid.
2. Cover the rutabaga and celery root with salted water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil until just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain.
3. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove from the broth. Discard the skin and bones. Chop the meat into bite-size pieces.
4. Strain the broth and discard the solids. Skim off any fat that rises to the top. Reserve 3 cups broth for the pot pie and refrigerate or freeze the remainder to use in soups, stews, or pilafs.
5. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leek and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until absorbed into the oil. Whisk in the 3 cups reserved broth and the wine and stir until thickened and smooth. Stir in the chicken, rutabagas, celery root, and thyme. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Keep hot while you prepare the biscuits.
6. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set out a 9- by 13-inch baking pan.
7. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sweet potatoes and buttermilk and process to make a soft dough.
8. Pour the hot chicken mixture into the baking pan. Spoon the dough on top of the chicken mixture in 12 mounds. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and the chicken mixture is bubbling. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
Variation: Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping
To make a regular biscuit topping, omit the sweet potato and brown sugar. Increase the flour to 3 cups and the buttermilk to 1 cup. This dough will be stiff enough to roll out to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut into twelve 3-inch biscuits. Arrange the dough circles on the chicken mixture and bake at 425°F for 20 to 25 minutes.

The quick answer is "why not?" but let's be a little less flippant. Most people love the color, the variety, the brilliance, the flash, the lore of gemstones. Gems permeate our history -- the lapis lazuli and turquoise treasures of the Egyptian pharaohs, the jades of ancient China, turquoise of the Native Americans, the rubies, emeralds, and sapphires of India and Southeast Asia. The ancient lapis lazuli mines of Afghanistan have been mined continuously for 7000 years! Every royal family has its treasured gems and jewels, and most families of lesser means have their own precious heirlooms. Our museums have vast collections of uncut gem materials, loose gemstones, and precious metal jewelry set with marvelous polish, faceted, and carved gems. Over the past century, we've all been taught that "diamonds are forever" and learned about birthstones. Jesus told the parable of the pearl of great price. Husbands and wives traditionally exchange gifts of precious stone jewelry. We carry gems as lucky stones and amulets. When we graduate from high school or college, our school rings usually contain a gemstone or imitation. Some think that gemstones contain special healing powers. For whatever reason, most of us are attracted to gems, and they will always be a part of our lives.
Some years ago, I exhibited loose gems that I had cut at craft shows. Just loose stones, no jewelry, no settings. One of the questions I heard most often was "what do you do with loose gems?" I've never understood that question. What do you do with postage stamps? Or coins? Or sculpture? Or photographs? Or salt and pepper shakers? Most of the same people who asked that question owned collections of some thing or another, but it somehow never occurred to them that one could collect gemstones in the same way.
Just like other collectibles, gems sometimes appreciate in value and may be sold for a profit. However, most collectors are loath to part with their prized collections -- gems, stamps, coins, whatever -- and prefer to keep them for their entertainment, educational, and aesthetic value. If they happen to make some money off their hobby, great! If not, they have the pleasure of building and maintaining a unique collection of interesting items.
Although gems are frequently used in jewelry, they are perfectly good collectibles in their own right. In fact, there are many attractive and interesting gems that are too fragile or too large to be used in jewelry. Here's a suggestion -- don't think of a gem as a component of jewelry; think of it as a piece of art, a miniature sculpture to be treasured for its unusual nature and for the craftsmanship of the artisan who shaped it.
If you'd like a look at the variety of gems that can contribute to an interesting and varied collection, take a look at the possibilities.
How does one get started collecting gems? Doesn't it require a lot of money? Well, not necessarily. Many interesting stones are available at relatively low cost, and there are many different types of collections that are possible -- collections of rare stones, collections of different colors of one stone (such as different colors of garnet, beryl, quartz, or tourmaline), collections of different cuts (round brilliant, oval, emerald cut, pear, etc., etc.), collections of stones from different localities, and so on. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
To help you get started with a collection of fine quality gemstones, we offer finished gemstones as well as fine custom cutting to create one-of-a-kind collectibles or to spiff up and add zest to an existing collection. Take a look!

Release Date: 2008-06-04 (NY)
Genre: Documentary,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 35min
In the wake of "Operation Iraqi Freedom," American actor Liev Schreiber had an idealistic notion: to rescue an Iraqi film student from the rubble of his country and bring him to the West to intern on a Hollywood movie. It promised to be a heartwarming tale, a small victory out of the troubled mission of the U.S war in Iraq. But, as in the war itself, "good" intentions yielded unintended consequences, and even this operation doesn't go according to plan. Director Nina Davenport becomes personally involved in Schreiber's charitable effort, and soon finds herself embroiled in a complex moral quagmire and all-consuming power struggle between filmmaker and subject. "Operation Filmmaker" is an engaging, sometimes comical political parable, taking the viewer on a riveting ride from Baghdad to Hollywood.

Get ready for 10 sun-drenched men in the second cumming of summer! With sex dripping off of their tans, ripped-bodied Adam Killian fucks blond hunk Chris Daniels at sea. Sweaty and muscled Bo Dean hammers John Magnum's eager ass. Rafael Alencar slams Jessie Colter on the beach. Cavin Knight and JR Matthews have an intense waterfront flip-fuck. Power-top Cliff Jensen poolside plows Troy Daniels' hungry hole. The weather isn't the only thing heating up and these men are forecasting loads of cum!
With his dark features, muscled body and chiseled face Adam Killian is a sex god to be worshipped. This versatile tattooed stud loves to show off in front of the camera and when he fucks he always changes into as many positions as his partner can take! Hailing from the California coast Adam Killian loves to fuck in water. The wildest place he has ever had sex was: in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Mykonos, Adam claims. Our bodies were under water but there were people everywhere around us. His favorite part of sex is feeling like and animal during the act. With his thick cut dick and full meaty ass Adam Killian's favorite place to have sex is in front of mirrors so he can watch every last thrust.
Bo Dean likes fucking the old-fashion way: having a good romp in bed! If Bo could fulfill any one sexual fantasy, it would be to screw in an elevator, and when Bo doesn't have his hands all over another guy, he likes to ride motorcycles.
Smooth muscle stud Cavin Knight grew up on a farm in Provo, Utah. As soon as his sexuality formed he loved creatively exploring his exhibitionist side. The craziest place Cavin Knight has fucked was on a public hiking trail and his fantasy fuck is to be in a muscle orgy, strapped into a sling and surrounded by hot guys. Cavin is completely versatile and loves kissing with spit and cum! His favorite part of sex is the chemistry that occurs between different people and the intensity that it brings out.
Christopher Daniels is the truest definition of "blond bombshell" -- his sharp good looks, shock of blond hair, and tight, slim body make him the ultimate candidate for porn. And lucky for us, that's exactly what he's after! Christopher is a total exhibitionist who loves sex -- from sucking cock to eating ass -- and he has a weakness for hairy, muscular daddies. Combine that with a gang-bang (with this lusty blond as the bottom), and Christopher's ultimate sexual fantasy is complete!
With his model features, chiseled tattooed body and gorgeous face Cliff Jensen is sex-pro to watch out for! This total top stud loves to pound his big thick dick into tight meaty asses on camera. Hailing from the southern coast of Florida, Cliff Jensen's favorite place to fuck is at the beach and the wildest place he has ever done the deed is in a bank bathroom. Other than non-stop aggressive fucking Cliff's hobbies include swimming and surfing. And cock isn't the only thing he can serve up as Cliff is a trained chef.

On Christmas Eve, Mac, a young two-and-a-half-year-old pit bull mix was brought to the high kill New York City Animal Care and Control. Sadly, he faces a tragic fate unless an approved rescue organization is able to step up and be his New Year's miracle.
With soulful eyes and a deep in thought expression, Mac is nervous and scared although he did allow a volunteer to muzzle and pet him. He is calm and quiet, friendly and affectionate, and walks respectfully on a leash. Mac often offers a paw of friendship, hoping to become someone's favorite four-legged companion.
Mac is quite discerning when it comes to choosing his canine friends; one female dog walked by and Mac wagged his tail, but another male dog elicited a bark.
Part of his evaluation at the shelter revealed the following:
"Mac was a bit shy and nervous during the handling items, but opened up quickly. He followed the assessor submissively during the tag item, but approached the assessor in a friendly manner after play. Mac growled and bit the assessor's hand during the food bowl test. He showed no interest in the toys, but did stiffen and growl during the rawhide item. Mac approached the helper dog calmly with his tail low and wagging during the dog to dog item."
A volunteer who fell in love with this gorgeous dog writes:
"Mac's world changed forever when his owner died but he's making the best of things at the Care Center and extends a paw of friendship to every new person he meets. His former master obviously taught him to mind his manners and he walks well on leash and is generally very easy to handle. Discerning gentleman as he is, Mac may be a bit selective when choosing his doggie friends as he softly wagged his tail for a female dog who stopped to check him out yet barked at another male who walked by. He'll sit on command when it's time for treats and takes them ever so gently from my hand, no grabbing or mouthing for this well-behaved boy. Mac is still missing his late owner but there's a spark of hope in his heart and each day his spirits rally just a little more. He's searching for a loving new family and a quiet place to call home."
Follow Mac's Facebook thread by clicking here and help other animal advocates find this dog a qualified foster or rescue organization. His story has been shared 1,800 times, yet no one has been able to find a match for this boy. Please refer to Mac's intake reference as A0988073 when inquiring about his status.
Please share his story with your friends, coworkers, and family.

weed killer :) - seriously - I think you can ignore it. Just go through a practice round and ignore the plants that you don't want to grow.
But wouldn't they then be permanently removed? I only want to study these words later not now. It seems once something is in your short term memory you can not remove them.
you can un-ignore them "Ignoring the word will cause you to no longer be tested on the word - great for words you already know by heart! However if you ignore a word by accident, you can reverse the change by going to the course page by clicking on the title of the course from your garden.

This morning the Arizona Republic reported that Buz Mills, former Arizona gubernatorial candidate, will chair a nonprofit organization designed to raise funds to help cover the expense of defending against lawsuits brought against two Arizona Sheriffs over SB1070.
Pinal County Sheriff, Paul Babeu and Cochise County Sheriff, Larry Dever are two out of fifteen law enforcement officers facing lawsuits from the ACLU and other civil rights groups, challenging Arizona's controversial immigration law.
Mills, who supports SB1070, said: "Helping them raise funds lets them focus on their main job: protecting Arizonans against this international violence."
It was during his campaign that Mills got a good hard look at the border saying, "It's another world. We've got serious, serious problems." It is this firsthand view that prompted his involvement. Mills confirmed that his goal is to not only raise money, but awareness as well.
As more "groups' come forward to challenge SB1070, forcing law enforcement to defend themselves rather than their citizens, the cost will indeed be high; unfortunately it is a cost with consequences that cannot be measured monetarily.

Make Obama's Lunch Your Dinner
Recipes from Obama's lunch are now available.
If you want to keep Inauguration Day going, you can now re-create President Barack Obama's first lunch as president. The menu, inspired by foods Lincoln is said to have enjoyed, includes Seafood Stew and a Brace of American Birds. The government put the recipes online, but we're sure Champagne lobbyists aren't happy about the Korbel pairing being referred to as "California Champagne." Celebrate a less tumultuous future with Europe by popping a bottle of authentic French stuff. [Inaugural.senate.gov via Daily Intel]

Today was supposed to have been a busy day, bursting with activities. But through a series of unforeseen conflicts, the day opened up.
I smiled at my luck, slipping on an old tee shirt and yesterday's jeans. No need for makeup! No blending of tinted moisturizer, no penciling of liner, and no swabbing of wayward mascara flecks. Best of all, no stripping it off at the end of the day.
As I gloated, teenage memories flitted at the periphery of my mind: poring over Aziza eye makeup adds in Seventeen magazine, walking to the drugstore to try the new self-adjusting blusher, slipping a fruity roll-on lip gloss into my pocket, rising early to primp before my lighted makeup mirror.
And what about now?
I study over-40 makeup advice in More magazine, debate the merits of cream versus powder blusher, keep a rosy-brown mint gloss at hand, and annoy my all-male family with an unwillingness to go to the movies without makeup. In fact, I zipped across the street this evening to grab a book from our public library and hoped no one I knew would see me makeup-less.
What does this say about me?
Maybe it's a matter of vanity, caring too much about my appearance. Or maybe makeup serves as a means of compensation for some sense of inferiority.
American feminist Erica Jong equated cosmetic use with a quest for passion: "Isn't that the problem? That women have been swindled for centuries into substituting adornment for love, fashion (as it were) for passion? All the cosmetics names seemed obscenely obvious to me in their promises of sexual bliss. They were all firming or uplifting or invigorating. They made you tingle. Or glow. Or feel young. They were prepared with hormones or placentas or royal jelly. All the juice and joy missing in the lives of these women were to be supplied by the contents of jars and bottles. No wonder they would spend $20 for an ounce of face makeup or $30 for a half-ounce of hormone cream. What price bliss? What price sexual ecstasy?"
She may have a point.
But here's what I think: all human beings value beauty, in one form or another — and we all need to feel valued as individuals. So it's no surprise — and no shame — that we enhance our appearance with cosmetics, to feel a little more beautiful within the body God's given us.
Fast-forward two weeks.
I just left an early-morning dermatologist appointment, where I was treated for allergic dermatitis of the skin around my eyes. The doc gave me an ointment and said the itch could've been caused by any number of things, including one of my cosmetics.
Today is going to be a busy day, bursting with activities. But, per doctor's orders, there will be no blending of tinted moisturizer, no penciling of liner, and no swabbing of wayward mascara flecks.
And again, I'm smiling at my luck — at least for today.

ZF-11410: Variables in global scope can be overwritten
In most form element view helpers extract is being used to pull out the elements name, value, attribs etc. Although its bad practice to have variables in global scope some people still code this way. By performing an extract any variable in global scope sharing these names will get overwritten.
$info = $this->_getInfo($name, $value, $attribs);
extract($info); // name, value, attribs, options, listsep, disable, escape
Proposed solutions:
remove the extract all together and reference the values from the $info array already set (reduces memory usage too).
$info = $this->_getInfo($name, $value, $attribs);
// build the element
if ($info['disable']) {
// disabled; display nothing
return '';
The extract() only puts variables into the scope of the current method, not into the global space.

Knowing if your horse is at the right weight is difficult enough, but knowing how to deal with it if they aren't can be even more of a challenge. How can you tell if he's chunky because of his breeding or chunky because he's a bit too well-covered?
The World Horse Welfare Right Weight team of Steffi de Bootman and Samantha Lewis are here to help. Throughout 2009 we will be visiting various shows, such as Your Horse Live, as well as running roadshows where we visit livery yards to help owners assess their horses' weight long-term.
Details of where the team will be visiting will be posted on the World Horse Welfare website – www.worldhorsewelfare.org – as soon as they are available.
We also have a free DVD available called 'Is your horse the right weight?'.
For individual advice, further details on hosting a road show or to request your own copy of the DVD, please call us on 01953 497217 or email email@example.com.

Sapphire Laguna Restaurant Review: Sapphire Laguna captures Laguna Beach's dual nature as a homespun artist community and sophisticated coastal city. Chef Azmin Ghahreman presides over this charming bistro, which channels Laguna's art and architecture along with the chef's passion for world cuisines. Located in the Old Pottery Place complex in the space formerly occupied by The Pottery Shack, Sapphire Laguna owes its look to interior designer Si Teller, who combined Craftsman-style open architecture and warm woods with touches like hand-blown glass from local artist John Barber. Ghahreman's contemporary dishes draw plenty of excitement by exploring global flavors. We enjoy starting with the crispy fried squash blossom with salt cod-potato purée and saffron rouille. Ghahreman shows a delicate touch with fish dishes like barramundi, prepared in a tangy preserved lemon nage. The chef is also adept at coaxing good flavors from meat, evidenced by the pan-seared beef tenderloin and coconut milk-braised short ribs. What to drink with your meal can present a pleasant challenge, as the cellar features a well-chosen list of more than 900 wines. After you've polished off the bread pudding, head over to the adjacent Sapphire Pantry to shop for some hard-to-find international cheeses, fine wines, charcuterie, deli items and chocolates to go.

Brewster City Councilmember, Jan May, took off her council hat during their last meeting to address the remainder of the board regarding manganese in the water in the City of Brewster.
Manganese is a mineral found in some drinking water supplies that will not harm you, but they may cause water to run reddish-brown or black. Under guidelines for public water supplies set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mangenese is considered secondary contaminants because it does not have a direct affect on health.
Brewster Mayor, Lee Webster, says that May, asked the City to do something about the manganese.
Mayor Webster adds that there are a few options out there to help abate the manganese issue.
The presence manganese in water is not considered health problem. In fact, small concentrations are essential to human health- however, it typically gives water an off color.
The Brewster City Council will discuss the issue further at their next meeting, which is set for Wednesday, June 12 at 6PM in Council Chambers at Brewster City Hall.

1. The Apple iPad ($499,16GB Wi-Fi). Someone needs this badly, and it might just be you. The iPad is merely the ultimate gadget juju. If your maladjusted loved one ignores its siren call because it lacks a front-facing camera, see number 11 below.
2. They said the iPad killed the laptop. It didn't die -- it was just getting a makeover. And it looks like the new Macbook Air 11.6" ($999, 64GB).
3. Streaming movies on Netflix is usually better than watching the movies themselves. But the internets is bigger than Netflix, and the latest incarnations of the Roku player ($60, HD) deliver the goods on a variety of your favorite sources. Hulu Plus, anyone?
4. 2010 was the year of the App, and while not technically gadgets, these suckers were found on just about anything shiny and handheld. Step foot into a store without the Amazon Price Check (Free, iTunes) or Google Shopper (Free, Android) apps? Not on your life.
5. The Sony NEX-5 14.2MP Digital Camera ($700, 18-55mm lens) blends form and function in an irresistibly compact package that will have the lucky recipient going all Ansel Adams or Austin Powers or both.
6. The powers of the Kinect for Xbox 360 ($150) are mysterious. The power to find one even more so.
7. Nothing says "I love you" more than the gift of the Mini Donut Factory ($20). It's a waffle iron gone very right that serves up mini donuts in less than four minutes and is small enough to fit on a desk. USB-powered version not yet available.
8. The Android mobile OS really came into its own this year, and the Verizon HTC Droid Incredible (from $0.01, contract) lives up to the bombastic name with a built-in 8MP camera that blurs the line between phone and camera.
9. The Scosche motorMOUTH II ($53) makes hands-free calling and streaming audio hassle-free for once. This little Bluetooth microphone plugs into the front auxiliary input of a car stereo and prevents loved ones from flying off the road.
10. For the antisocial survivalist on your gift list, the Primus ETA Solo Stove ($88) will have them disappearing even deeper into the woods. Now if they will only go pick it up at the post office.
11. Is there room for another gotta-have-it tablet on this planet? The Samsung Galaxy Tab ($600, T-Mobile) is making room and doing it on all four major carriers. And it's got your front-facing camera, you narcissists. (Yay!)
12. Last but not least, the 2011 Nissan LEAF, the latest gadget-friendly EV (electric vehicle, peoples). It boasts 99 MPGe (dude, like, 99 miles per gallon) and hookups for gadgets galore. But you can actually sit in and drive this gadget. Whoa.
I have a Microsoft Kinect and LOVE it! I have the Your Shape Fitness game, and it's been great. My husband can even use it with the exercises geared for men.
