A Scandal in Belgravia - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
At the pool, Moriarty tells his men to kill Sherlock and John. Sherlock aims his gun at the explosives pack that was wired to James, and suddenly Moriarty's phone rings. He asks if he can answer it and Sherlock tells him to go ahead. Disgusted, Moriarty takes the call, and then screams at the caller, telling him to repeat it. He warns that if the caller is lying, he'll hunt the person down and skin them alive. Satisfied, Moriarty then apologizes to Sherlock, telling him that it's the wrong day to die. Sherlock asks if he got a better offer, and Moriarty says that Sherlock will be hearing from him. He walks away, telling the caller that if he has what is claimed, he'll make him rich. The snipers leave as well and John wonders what happened. Sherlock figures that someone changed Moriarty's mind and wonders who.
In an apartment, a woman named Mrs. Adler approaches "Her Highness" and prepares to discipline her.
Back at 221B Baker Street, John is typing a blog on their recent exploits. Meanwhile, Sherlock tries to find a case that isn't boring. Lestrade calls him in to examine a dead woman covered in speckles, but Sherlock isn't impressed. John continues to blog about their cases, while Lestrade calls them in on a case about a suspected terrorist responsible for a jetliner crash in Germany. The suspected terrorist is dead, stashed in a car trunk nearby. Sherlock is unable to come up with a suitable theory, but is disappointed when John blogs about his failure. When he complains, John points out that the web site has received more hits than from any of Sherlock's successes.
Lestrade then calls Sherlock and John to a theater to investigate a crime. The press gathers outside to get photos of Sherlock now that he has a public reputation. Sherlock is less than thrilled that he's become a phenomenon as a "net detective." Meanwhile, Mrs. Adler sees a photograph of Sherlock and then calls someone and says that it's time.
Back at Baker Street, Mrs. Hudson is cleaning up as best she can when a man comes in, mutters "the doors," and collapses. She calls for Sherlock and John, who interview the man when he wakes up. The man, Phil, explains that fourteen hours earlier, his car stalled while he was driving in the countryside. He saw a hiker in a red jacket standing across a field but went back to trying to start his car. When it backfired and Phil looked up, the hiker had collapsed. Phil went to investigate and discovered that the hiker in the red jacket was dead.
The DI in charge, Carter, takes a call from Lestrade, who suggests that he let Sherlock examine the crime scene. However, it's John who drives to the crime scene and transmit images via wi-fi. Sherlock is at home, ignoring the doorbell. John tells him that the hiker was killed by a single blow to the back of the head from a blunt instrument, which is nowhere to be found. Carter suspects Phil, but Sherlock points out that there's no reason he would call the police in if he was the murderer. Sherlock directs Carter to the nearby stream, but then Mrs. Hudson lets in the two men at the door, who turn off Sherlock's computer and say that he's coming with them.
John has no idea what is going on, and a helicopter arrives to transport him.
Sherlock examines the man who came in, Plummer, and tells him that he knows exactly where they're going.
John is taken to Buckingham Palace where he finds Sherlock, still wrapped up in a bed sheet. After a moment's silence, they both burst into laughter at the absurdity. As they wonder why they are there, Mycroft comes in and tells them to behave. He points out that the mystery of the dead hiker has an obvious solution and Sherlock agrees, and Mycroft tells them they have a new case. The Queen's representative comes in and admits that his client is a big fan of John's blog. Sherlock refuses to deal with an anonymous client, but as he walks away Mycroft steps on his sheet, rendering him naked. Unimpressed, Sherlock threatens to keep going and Mycroft finally tells him that it is the highest in the land.
Sherlock finally puts on his clothes and Mycroft explains that there is a criminal matter and they need Sherlock to keep the investigation confidential. He shows Sherlock a photo of a woman, a woman that Sherlock doesn't recognize, and explains that she's been at the center of two scandals in the last year, and ruined the marriage of a novelist by having an affair with both participants simultaneously. Mycroft says that the woman is named Irene Adler, who works professionally as a dominatrix known as "The Woman."
At her apartment, Irene receives photos of Sherlock being taken going into Buckingham Palace.
The representative admits that Irene has photos of someone of significance to his employer. Mycroft reluctantly admits that the someone of significance is a young female, and that there are a considerable number of photographs. When Sherlock wonders what the case is and tells them to pay Irene, Mycroft tells him that Irene contacted them and said that she had the photos, but she has no intention of using them for blackmail. Intrigued, Sherlock agrees to take the case and leaves, telling Mycroft to text him the detail. He assures them that he'll have the photographs by the end of the day, asks the representative for a box of matches since he knows that his employer smokes, and leaves. As they go, Sherlock explains that he knew that their employer smoked because there was an ashtray in the room.
Irene receives more photos of Sherlock and John. She then calls in her assistant Kate and says that they're going to have a visitor and she'll need a long time to get ready.
Once Sherlock has Irene's address, he goes through his closet for the proper costume. He and John then drive to two blocks short of the address and get out. Sherlock, dressed as a priest, tells John to punch him in the face. When John hesitates, Sherlock punches him to provoke him into fighting back. John hits him repeatedly.
Kate helps Irene with her makeup and then goes to the door when someone rings. It's Sherlock, who claims that he's been attacked and robbed. Kate lets him in and John follows, saying that he's a witness and a doctor. She leads Sherlock to the parlor and Irene comes in to see him, naked. She removes Sherlock's priest's collar and calls him by name. John comes in and is suitably surprised, and Irene invites him to sit down. She admits that she knows they were in the palace, while Sherlock is stumped since she has no clothing or traces to give him any clues. Irene has figured that John punched him, and John asks her to put something on.
Sherlock offers Irene his coat and she then asks about the case of the dead hiker. John is surprised she knows about it, and Irene says that she knows a policeman and what he likes. She assures Sherlock that he isn't going to get the photographs, and he tells her that the hiker wasn't murdered and the photos are in the room. When he realizes that his deduction is correct, Sherlock tells John to man the door into the parlor. Once John goes outside and closes the door, Sherlock tells Irene to think back to what happened in the field. She says that there'll be a backfire, and Sherlock says that noises are important.
Right on cue, the smoke alarm goes off as John sets a magazine on fire. Irene glances instinctively at the mirror and Sherlock follows her gaze. He finds the secret catch, revealing a safe, and tells John to turn off the smoke alarm. Before he can, three men come in and shoot out the alarm.
Sherlock examines the keypad on the safe and tries to deduce the six-digit combination. Irene tells him that she's already told him the combination and tells him to think. The three men come in with John and order everyone down on the floor. Their leader Neilson demands the safe contents and Sherlock realizes that he's American. Neilson figures that Sherlock has the combination, and doesn't believe his denials. The man also notes that Irene knows the second combination that will summon the police. When Sherlock still professes ignorance, Neilson tells his man Archer to shoot John. Sherlock finally offers to open it, turns, and enters the correct combination. Realizing that it's booby-trapped, Sherlock opens it and ducks. The gun inside fires and shoots Archer. Sherlock takes out Neilson and Irene disarms the third man and then clubs him unconscious. Sherlock grabs the cell phone with the photos from the safe, goes outside, and fires two shots into the air to summon the police.
Sherlock goes back inside and Irene demands the photos back. Sherlock confirms that the camera is security-locked and doesn't believe that she kept copies. Irene insists that the photos are her life and that she'll die rather than let him take it. Unimpressed, Sherlock goes to find John. John has found Kate, who was knocked out by the intruders. Irene suggests that John check the back door, and then stabs Sherlock with a drugged needle. When he refuses to give her the camera phone, she whips him with a riding crop until he drops it. Irene tells the stunned Sherlock to tell his client that the photos are safe with her and she'll only use them as insurance. She tells Sherlock to remember her as the woman who beat him and heads for the window. John comes in and Irene tells him that the drug will wear off in a few hours. As she goes, Irene tells John that Sherlock was paying attention to her after all: the safe combination was her measurements.
Sherlock imagines Irene coming to 221B Baker Street while he's asleep, returning his coat, and telling him how the hiker was killed: by a boomerang thrown by an experienced sportsman, recently returned to England, which was washed downstream. Later, he wakes up and asks John where Irene went. John assures his friend that Irene wasn't there and tells him to stay in bed. As John leaves, Sherlock hears a woman's ecstatic sigh as a tone from his cell phone, in his coat pocket hanging on the door. When he checks it, he finds a message from Irene, "Till next time, Mr. Holmes."
The next morning, Mycroft comes to the flat to see Sherlock and John. Sherlock assures his brother that the photographs are safe in Irene's hands. Mycroft is skeptical but Sherlock advises him to leave Irene alone. Irene's tone rings on Sherlock's cell phone and he hastily takes it, while complaining that Mycroft knew that the assassins, CIA-trained, were going to be there at the same time. Sherlock gets another message with the same tone, asking how he's doing. While Mycroft takes a call, John asks Sherlock about the tone and his friend admits that someone got ahold of his cell phone and personalized their caller ID. Mycroft comes back and Sherlock asks what else Irene has that the Americans are so interested in. He realizes that something big is coming and Mycroft tells him that Irene is no longer his concern.
Come Christmas Eve, John and Sherlock celebrate and have Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, John's current girlfriend Jeanette, and Molly. Lestrade explains that he and his wife are back together and will be going to Dorset in the morning, but Sherlock can't help telling him his wife is sleeping with a PA teacher. As he talks, Sherlock notices that the counter on John's web counter is still at 1,895. John will be going to see his sister, who is sober, and refuses to listen to Sherlock deduce otherwise. Sherlock has also deduced from one of Molly's presents that she has a new boyfriend and is going to be seeing him that night. However, he discovers the present is for him. Molly starts crying and Sherlock apologizes, kisses her on the cheek, and wishes her a Merry Christmas.
The tender moment is interrupted when Irene sends another text message with her distinctive tone. John points out that Irene has sent 57 text messages. The current one simply says, "Mantelpiece." Sherlock checks and finds a new present in the same shade of lipstick as Irene's. He excuses himself and goes to his bedroom, opens the present, and discovers that it's Irene's camera phone with the photos. Sherlock calls Mycroft and tells his brother that they're going to find Irene dead that night.
Later, Mycroft calls Sherlock to the morgue at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Molly is there and warns that the corpse's face is bashed up. Once he sees her naked body, Sherlock confirms that it's Irene and leaves. Mycroft goes after him as Molly wonders how Sherlock recognized the corpse from her naked body. Out in the hallway, Mycroft offers him a cigarette and Sherlock accepts, and then asks his brother how he knew Irene was dead. Sherlock explains that when he received the camera phone, he knew that her life depended on it and she chose to give it up. Mycroft asks about the photos and Sherlock wonders why they don't care, and his brother says there's no advantage in it. Sherlock wishes his brother a Merry Christmas as he walks away. Mycroft then calls John to tell him that Sherlock is on his way, and asks if they found the cell phone. When John wonders if he needs to stay with Sherlock despite his plans, Mycroft insists and hangs up. John apologizes to Jeanette, who insists that he's a great friend and then storms off.
Sherlock comes in and tells John that he hopes he didn't mess up his sock index. He then plays his violin through the week, refusing to eat. When John and Mrs. Hudson come in, they find him composing. Sherlock suddenly points out that the blog counter is still at 1,895. He enters the number into the cell phone but it's not the correct password, and it informs Sherlock that there are only three attempts remaining. He tells John that the counter is faulty and goes back to composing. As John goes, he asks Mrs. Hudson if Sherlock has any kind of relationship and the housekeeper admits that she doesn't know, and they could never know what goes on in his head.
John goes out and finds a beautiful woman waiting for him. She asks if he has any New Year's plans and John is glad to take her up on her offer. When he asks what she has in mind, a car pulls up and John assumes that she works for Mycroft. They go to an abandoned factory and the woman sends him on ahead, and then calls to tell her employer that John thinks that it's Mycroft. Meanwhile, John continues on and finds himself face-to-face with... Irene. He tells Irene to tell Sherlock that she's alive, but she figures that Sherlock would come after her. John asks how she faked her test and Irene explains that she tampered with the DNA records on file for her. She admits that she made a mistake and needs the cell phone back, and wants John's help. John refuses and tells her again to tell Sherlock that she's alive. She wonders what to say and explains that she's been flirting at Sherlock via text message but he never replied. When John objects, Irene asks if he's jealous, and then sends Sherlock a text message inviting him to have dinner with her.
As they talk, they hear the tone go off on Sherlock's phone. As John goes after his friend, Irene tells him not to.
Sherlock returns to Baker Street and notices that the door has been forced. He goes in and realizes that several men hauled Mrs. Hudson up the stairs. Sherlock goes into his flat and finds Neilson holding a gun to the housekeeper's head. Neilson asks for the camera phone and Sherlock realizes that he beat Mrs. Hudson for the information. He tells Neilson to order his men out and he reluctantly agrees. Once the two men leave, Sherlock invites Neilson to confirm that he's unarmed. Once the intruder gets close enough, Sherlock sprays him in the face with mace and then knocks him out.
John arrives home later and finds a sign on the door saying, "Crime in progress. Please disturb." He goes upstairs and finds Neilson tied to a chair. Sherlock tells John to take Mrs. Hudson downstairs and look after her, and then calls Lestrade and tells him that they've had a burglar, and that the man fell out of a window.
In the kitchen, John tends to Mrs. Hudson's injuries. Neilson falls past the kitchen window and hits the ground. The police arrive and take the injured Neilson away. Lestrade is clearly skeptical of Sherlock's claim that Neilson fell out the window by accident but doesn't pursue the matter. Sherlock goes back inside and insists that Mrs. Hudson can stay there, and then recovers the camera phone from her. She's had it all along since she found it in Sherlock's second best dressing gown.
The two men go back to their flat and John asks where his friend has hidden the camera phone. Sherlock tells him it's where no one will ever look, and they figure that there's more on it than just pictures. John asks how he feels about Irene being alive and asks if he'll be seeing her again, but Sherlock simply plays
Auld Lang Syne
as the clock strikes midnight.
Irene is walking down the street when she receives a text message from Sherlock wishing her a Happy New Year.
Later, Sherlock goes to the morgue and x-rays the camera phone while Molly looks on. She wonders if the camera phone belongs to his girlfriend, and Sherlock points out that it would be silly to x-ray his girlfriend's camera phone. He gets an idea and enters 221B as the passcode, but it also fails, leaving two attempts.
Sherlock returns home and hears crying from his bedroom. John comes home and his friend tells him that they have a client: Irene. She tells them that there are people out to kill her but won't say who, and asks for her camera phone. Sherlock claims that he put it in a safety deposit box, and John suggests that Molly give it and then have one of Sherlock's homeless network members deliver it to them. However, Sherlock then reveals he has it and asks Irene what is on it. She tells them that she has items on it that she can use for "protection," but Sherlock notes that she's acquired something that's more danger than protection. He asks her to show him what it is but when she refuses to give him the passcode, Sherlock hands it over to her. The passcode doesn't work and Sherlock explains that he gave her a duplicate and now he has the passcode: 1058. However, when he enters the passcode into the real camera phone, it doesn't work and Irene says that she knew it wasn't her camera phone.
Irene finally explains that the camera phone has an email from a Minister of Defense who claimed it would save the world. It says "007 Confirmed Allocation" followed by a lengthy alphanumeric code sequence. He realizes that it's the seating arrangement for a 747 going to Baltimore at 6:30 the next day from Heathrow. Irene says she'll have sex with him on the desk until he begs for mercy twice, and Sherlock simply tells John to double-check the flight schedules and says he's never begged for mercy. John mentions that it's flight 007 and Sherlock realizes he's heard that number before. Meanwhile, Irene secretly texts the flight number and departure time to Moriarty. Moriarty then sends a taunting message to Mycroft, who is stunned at the news.
Sherlock focusses on the 007 number and remembers that Mycroft spoke to someone on the phone about "Bond Air" and Coventry. When he snaps back to reality, he discovers that John has gone out and Irene is still there. He tells her that during World War II, the British authorities broke a German code message referring to the bombing of Coventry, but they let it happen so the Germans wouldn't know their code was broken. Irene asks Sherlock if he's ever had anyone and then invites him to dinner. She takes his hand and Sherlock asks why he would want dinner if he isn't hungry. Irene asks if he would have dinner with her if it was the last night of the world. Before he can answer, Mrs. Hudson ushers in the man who picked up Sherlock earlier. The man, Plummer, gives him a ticket for Flight 007.
Sherlock leaves with Plummer and tells him that the British and Americans know that there's a terrorist bomb on a passenger jet and will let it detonate rather than reveal they have an inside source. They arrive at Heathrow and pull up to a jet. Neilson is there, clearly unhappy to see Sherlock. Sherlock goes into the plane and discovers that the passenger seats are filled with corpses. Mycroft comes in and explains that they'll send the plane up with the corpses, and it will appear authentic. He points out that several of Sherlock's recent encounters have involved people who had missing relatives, and that the dead man who wasn't on the German plane that blew up didn't make his flight. However, Mycroft tells his brother that the terrorists know about the operation now because Sherlock showed off his solution to the email code to Irene, and Irene sent it to Moriarty.
Irene comes in as Mycroft apologizes for directing Sherlock to her. She dismisses Sherlock as irrelevant and tells Mycroft that she has a great deal more information on the camera phone, enough to bring down the British government. They go back to Mycroft's office and Irene has Sherlock confirmed that the camera phone will self-destruct if anyone tampers with it. When Mycroft threatens to torture her for the passcode, Sherlock warns that there are two codes and that even if Irene gave up the information, they wouldn't know which one and a second attempt would be impossible. Mycroft is willing to destroy it, but Irene points out that it might contain information that could save British lives. She gives Mycroft a list of demands and protections that she needs, and demands an immediate answer. Irene admits that Moriarty helped her by giving her advice on how to play Sherlock and Mycroft.
Mycroft congratulates Irene on playing the game, but Sherlock interrupts and says, "No." He tells Irene that she got carried away and felt sentiment toward her. Irene insists that she felt nothing for him, but Sherlock says that he knows she had feelings for him because he took her pulse earlier when she held his hand at the flat. He picks up the camera phone and starts entering the code, telling Irene that she could have picked any random number, but she let her heart rule her head. Irene takes his hand and tells him that nothing she said was real and she was just playing the game. Sherlock tells her that it is a game, and she's lost... and finishes punching in the correct code, SHER. He gives the camera phone to Mycroft and suggests that he let Irene go, since she won't last long without protection. Irene begs, admitting that she won't last six months, but Sherlock apologizes for dinner and leaves.
A few months later, John arrives at the flat and finds Mycroft standing outside the café below. They go inside and Mycroft tells John that the file on Irene is closed forever. He suggests that John tell Sherlock that Irene got herself into a witness protection plan in America and that Sherlock will never see her again. When John wonders why Sherlock would care, and will only call her "the woman," Mycroft suggests that it's a salute and that Irene was the one woman who mattered to him. They both figure that Sherlock will be fine, and Mycroft then says that he decided to tell his brother that story instead of the truth: Irene is dead, beheaded by terrorists two months ago. He pushes Irene's file over to John and asks him what they should tell Sherlock.
Sherlock is working when John comes in and says that he has news about Irene. He hesitates and then tells Sherlock that she's in America in the witness relocation program. When John points out that Sherlock won't be able to see him again, Sherlock says that he has no interest in seeing her again. He does ask for the camera phone and won't take no for an answer. John hands it over and starts to leave, but then asks if Irene ever texted him again. Sherlock tells him that she did, a few months ago, and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Holmes." Once John leaves, Sherlock goes over all of the text messages that Irene sent him.
Two months earlier
Irene sends her last message to Sherlock and awaits her beheading. The executioner reveals that he's a hooded Sherlock and tells her to run, and then swings at the terrorists.
The Present
Sherlock puts the camera phone in a drawer and smiles admiringly, saying, "The Woman."

Can WooCommerce be used as catalog-only, without add-to-cart functionality?
Yes it can and would require some modifications.
Do I understand you right that there is no setting or plugin for that, but this requires hiring a programmer?
Off the top of my head it would probably require a combination of changing settings and some coding. And this would also depend on the theme you're using. Shouldn't be too hard to achieve though. You can head over to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and ask if this can be done for you.
No this cannot be done out of the box.
It can however be done with some customisation or with our Catalog Visibility Options extension; http://www.woothemes.com/products/catalog-visibility-options/
James - with the plugin, would there be an option to turn on individual products for the ability to sell while leaving other products in the catalog form?
If not out of the box, is there a way to make it happen with customizing?
You will be laughing, but this helped me
form.cart {
display: none!important;
This plugin will do this -> http://www.woothemes.com/products/catalog-visibility-options/
Where to ad that code
form.cart {
display: none!important;
That code is simply a css-style to make that "add to cart" button/function area invisible to the visitors.
So you can add it into your theme's style.css or custom.css files.
But that mentioned extension is a much better way to control that functionality. It has some more abilities like hiding the ecommerce funtions from guests/visitors but showing everything to logged in customers, etc...
alex.me - thanks for this snippet mate! It did exactly what I was looking for.
Use this snippet in your themes functions.php
@Bainternet 10x man,
ihave a page where i use a shortcode
[featured_products per_page="12" columns="4"]
how can i make the add to cart button dissapeared from there ??

Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
SARS Virus May Be Tough to Beat
Sept. 13, 2007 -- New research shows that SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) may be a long-term challenge to the immune system.
SARS, which is caused by a virus, was big news in 2003, when SARS was first reported in Asia.
The 2003 SARS outbreak affected the Americas, Europe, and Asia, killing 774 people and sickening more than 7,000 others worldwide (including eight people in the U.S.), according to the World Health Organization and the CDC.
Scientists from China and the Netherlands studied 56 SARS survivors for three years after the patients recovered from SARS.
The researchers monitored the SARS survivors' antibodies to a virus linked to SARS.
Over time, levels of those antibodies declined in the former SARS patients. By the end of the three-year study, up to a quarter of the patients' blood samples had undetectable levels of the antibodies.
"Our data suggest that immune protection [against the SARS virus] may wane over time," write the scientists, who included Wu-Chun Cao, MD, PhD, of the State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity in Beijing.
Cao's team doesn't know whether those patients would be capable of fending off SARS a second time, based on their current level of antibodies.
Cao and colleagues report their findings in a letter published in today's edition of The New England Journal of Medicine.

An LED ring light for jewelry photography
I came across this post on how to make a LED ring light for a camera and I thought I'd make my own for photographing jewelry and the like, instead of working up a more traditional three-point lighting setup. I ordered the same rings from dealextreme.com (90mm and 120mm), they took about three weeks to arrive and cost about $14 shipped. Then it was just a matter of getting out my dial caliper to take measurements and creating tool paths in Illustrator. From Illustrator I export to svg and then use Blender and custom code I wrote to generate g-code, which I run in EMC2 under ubuntu.
The scrap plywood I used has a very thin veneer face and it chipped a bit in one spot during milling. Oh well. The holes in the rings are for passing through the LED ring wires.
My camera (Canon Powershot S3IS) takes a barrel for lens attachments, so I used that to mount the ring. Simple friction fit. It can still take filters and lenses and the like.
The LED rings need a 12v power supply, which I got from an old, non-functioning DSL modem. I also desoldered the power jack from the PCB, CA'd it to the back of the wooden ring and soldered the LED ring wires to the lugs.
With no diffusion the LEDs show up as points of light. A piece of paper held over the ring doesn't do much to change that...
...but held a short distance away it does a nice job. I'll probably make another ring to hold a diffuser. Of course I'll cut the center out silly! Oh, there's a color difference between the two LED rings, which is pretty clear to see in these photos. Not ideal, but workable.
A couple of test photos. The first one looks a bit surreal, like it's been photoshopped, but it hasn't. The white balance was on the wrong setting though.
Cat hair? Really? I swear it gets everywhere.
Anyhoo, I've got to work on my camera technique but I'm pretty happy with how the ring light working.

Drove around for 3 days, and did not pick up any radar signals unless right next to the police. I had too many false alarms compared to actually a real one. I honestly think if your a speeder, don't waste buying something that won't help you unless its too late. Its better to buy something more expensive and more reliable, trust me it'll save you more money than this product.
I had one of these before I stepped up to my Valentine 1. They work good if you're going 5 or 10 over and it's not raining. Maybe picks up a 1/10th mile away from the cop. But if you're like me, riding a motorcycle I'll often get 20 over and not notice it and slow back down when my Valentine warns me. Get a good radar, save some money in the future.
I love this product! It has saved me a lot of money however sometimes it doesnt pick up on it and work as quick as it should. I have had one for 3 years now and just bought my aunt one.
The product was delivered by Christmas. Good quality product as expected. Works great.
Lets face it people buy these so they can speed and not worry about a ticket. This thing only tells you about the radar 50% of the time and when it does tell you it waits until your right on top of the cop then says oh hey theirs a cop here. This may be fine if you don't speed more than 8 mph because if you pass a cop you may be fine, but if you plan on speeding 10+ mph its not worth the risk. I've gotten more false alarms than real ones, theirs lots of times where it starts beeping when im actually past the cop. Not worth the money.
Haven't had this very long, but seems like it works the way it should. It has gone off when there was a squad that was near.
First "experience" using WALMART.COM. All good!

Fall is for figs — especially if you're looking to up your antioxidant ante and add more healthy fiber to your diet. The modest fig boasts higher quantities of fiber than any other dried or fresh fruit! And, as with many fruits and vegetables, figs are a good
source of flavonoids and polyphenols, plant-based antioxidants that fight free radicals in the body.
California figs, which account for the majority of the world's crop, are available only June through September (some other European varieties remain available through fall). They are among the most perishable fruits and must be eaten within one to two days of purchase.
• Figs are Aphrodisiacs
Yet their rarity and fleeting freshness only adds to their mystique. The small, pear-shaped fruit has long been revered for its apparent aphrodisiac properties. Figs' voluptuous shape, honeyed scent and taste, and succulent, chewy texture add to their sultry reputation, which made them the favorite fruit of Cleopatra. Flush with seeds, from 30 to 1,600 per fruit, the fig is a symbol of fertility in many cultures.
• Bursting with Minerals and Vitamins
But figs' supposed facility in arousing desire may be based more on their ability to promote overall well-being than on their sensory pleasures. Most notably, figs have the highest overall mineral content of all common fruits. An excellent source of potassium, figs may help to control blood pressure. Figs are also high in calcium, which protects bone density. Moreover, their potassium may reduce the amount of calcium lost as a result of high-salt diets. The fruit is also a source of iron, vitamin B6 and the trace mineral manganese.
• Fiber Powerhouse
Insoluble fiber protects against colon and breast cancer, while soluble fiber helps lower blood cholesterol. Figs offer both types in one compact package. Since Americans on average eat less than half the minimum amount of dietary fiber thought to be necessary for good health, figs are a sweet and easy way to increase intake. Diets rich in fiber may also help manage weight. Additionally, figs' fiber makes them a mild laxative.
• Curative Properties
Studies show that dried figs have a phenol makeup ranging from 4 to 50 times higher than other fruits. Dried figs also contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and improve immune function. Even the leaves of the fig tree hold curative powers; ingesting the leaves can mitigate diabetes and may even lower the need for insulin shots. Fig paste — used widely before the advent of refined sugars — makes a healthy replacement for sweeteners or fats in recipes.
• Favorite Ways to Eat Figs
Poached in wine and served with ice cream, stuffed with goat cheese and almonds, wrapped in prosciutto, or lightly charred for bruschetta, figs are ripe for a sumptuous, seasonal tryst with either sweet or savory dishes — a delicious, healthy way to awaken desire.

A beautiful artwork born from the scent of a perfume is
destined to be destroyed.
The artwork Never & Forever is an artistic
collaboration between siblings Anya Sinclair, a Dunedin
painter, and her younger brother Isaac Sinclair, a commercial
perfumer in Brazil.
For the collaboration, Miss Sinclair sent her brother an
image of a lush and damp Australian forest scene to use as
the inspiration for a perfume.
Mr Sinclair said he captured the warmth of the contrasting
dark and bright green and red leaves with vanilla absolute,
tolu balsam and tonka bean absolute.
To recreate the thick humidity, he used patchouli and gurjun
balsam oils.
From the fragrance, called Banho de Cheiro, Miss
Sinclair painted a jungle and waterfall of no specific place
on a Community Gallery wall last week.
''I tried to evoke a feeling - a sensory experience.''
A bottle of the fragrance is next to the painting at the
gallery so the viewer can have the full experience.
The painting will be exhibited until the end of the Dunedin
Fringe Festival on Sunday and then painted over.
''Normally, I make a work and it stays on someone's wall, for
maybe a lifetime, but I think it's good to do this as an
artist and give up the rights to the life of that work - but
it is challenging.''
Although art, like a fragrance, could dissipate, it still
existed elsewhere because it could trigger a memory anytime,
she said.
''There is a permanence in that.''
Miss Sinclair said despite the impending destruction of the
painting, the art project could continue, as a photo of it
had been sent to Brazil for her brother to create another

Debris removal scheduled to begin this summer
Published: Monday, May 11, 2009 at 11:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 11, 2009 at 11:15 a.m.
HOUMA Terrebonne waterways will get a post-hurricane cleanup this summer, with U.S. Coast Guard officials descending on the parish to pick up storm-sunk vessels as well as furniture, trees and assorted debris.
In June, the Coast Guard, FEMA and Louisiana Department of Natural Resources officials cruised local waterways to look for debris related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, said Jack Gardener, GIS manager for Terrebonne Parish.
FEMA is paying for 100 percent of the costs to pick up 42 vessels from local waterways, including Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Little Caillou.
Removal of marine debris has been a priority for the state, said Paul Rainwater, executive director of the Louisiana Recovery Authority. Louisianas waterways are vital to our economy, our environment and our way of life.
Abandoned boats and other debris are a hazard to navigation in local waterways, Gardener said.
People are hitting underwater objects, and its impacting shrimping, Gardener said.
Boat engines can leak oil and gas into the bayous, and their air conditioners contain hazardous materials like Freon.
This summer, the Coast Guard starts the fourth phase of a $20 million project to clean up waterways in 23 southern parishes of Louisiana, FEMA officials said.
The first three phases of commercial waterway cleanups were completed in July 2007.
We have already removed debris posing an immediate threat to commercial waterways, said Tony Russell, acting director of the Louisiana Transitional Recovery Office. Now, we are focusing on the parishes navigable waterways, working to improve their safety and appearance, to support healthy ecosystems and recreational lifestyles.
The Coast Guard should finish removing heavy vessels statewide by the end of June.
Light-debris operations will run concurrently and continue for a while longer, until the end of summer, said Robert Travis, Coast Guard deputy unified commander.
Bayous Grand Caillou and Dularge are two of five waterways in the state found to have excessive amounts of debris, Gardener said, including trees, furniture, trash cans and dumpsters. Theyll also be cleaned this summer by the Coast Guard, said Andrew Thomas, a spokesman for FEMA.
To date, FEMA has provided $190 million for the Katrina and Rita waterways debris-removal projects in Louisiana. A total of 1,100 abandoned vessels and 48 vehicles have been removed. In addition, 175,000 cubic yards of debris have been picked up from 911 miles of waterways. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which also helped in this project, removed more than 124,000 cubic yards of waterways debris.
Katrina and Rita are not where Terrebonnes underwater debris woes end, Gardener said.
Subsequent to that, we had Gustav and Ike, Gardener said. We went back in October, resurveyed and identified 20 vessels and one travel trailer attributed to Gustav and Ike.
Notices were posted on the abandoned vessels and no one has claimed them, Gardener said.
At this point, were going out to get bidders and well be picking those up ourselves, Gardener said.
FEMA will reimburse 90 percent of the cost. The parish is also applying for nuisance abatement grants and is working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to clean up additional waterways.

Crime drops in Hendersonville
2009 statistics for city released by SBI
Published: Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 12:02 a.m.
Better cooperation between agencies and a stronger presence by local law enforcement helped reduce crime in Hendersonville last year, Police Chief Herbert Blake said.
The State Bureau of Investigation released an annual summary of crime statistics recently. In all, Hendersonville had 963 total crimes reported in 2008, compared with 797 in 2009.
The city saw a reduction in larcenies and burglaries. In 2008, there were 131 burglaries and 716 larcenies. In 2009, the number dropped to 95 burglaries and 580 larcenies.
Violent crime was also down. Hendersonville recorded 55 aggravated assaults in 2008 and 45 in 2009. The area had two murders in 2008 and none in 2009.
Downward trend
"I went back to 2007 to see if it was a trend, and the numbers have continually gone down," Blake said.
Cases of rape, however, did increase. Hendersonville recorded five rapes in 2008 and six in 2009.
Blake credits the increased presence of officers on the streets and renewed cooperation between residents and the police department. He added that the Henderson County Sheriff's Office and the police department are working well together. The agencies have not fought over jurisdictions or responsibilities, Blake said.
The number of motor vehicle thefts increased slightly from 42 in 2008 to 58 in 2009. Arsons were down -- there were eight in 2008 and two in 2009.
Blake said he wants to continue to improve operations at the police department and maintain a strong presence in the community.
"We have officers that have been active and aggressive," he said.

SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
As I mentioned recently in the comments on one of Greg Burgas' posts, I am painfully burned out on mainstream comics right now. It's been building for a while now, but the last four weeks have left me with a massive stack of mostly unread comic books. Sure I read a few, and I've flipped through most of the rest multiple times, but looking at the pile…imagining reading them…is suddenly akin to something like Chinese water torture.
This has happened to me before, a few times actually, and it generally results in me taking a sabbatical of sorts from reading mainstream books for undetermined amounts of time – only to later return with vigor (and cluelessness as to why I ever needed to take a break from something so awesome). However, this time, I find I've built a lot of little bits of my life around comics – my blog is regularly about comics, and I have this column, not to mention a superhero novel out on submission to publishers – so for the first time I don't feel comfortable just walking away.
Welcome to part two of Ross Campbell week here on She Has No Head!. Part one, a Spotlight on Ross Campbell's work can be found here. As I mention at the beginning of the following interview, I had the good fortune of becoming friends with comics phenom Ross Campbell via the magic of the internet – and thanks to that friendship, and Ross' generosity, and his upcoming book Shadoweyes – I was able to convince him to stop by for an in-depth interview.
So join me as Ross takes time out of his busy comics making schedule to talk about everything from when we can expect the next volume of Wet Moon, to what super power he'd most like to have, to the inside scoop on what to expect from his new project Shadoweyes, releasing from SLG in June.
And make sure to come back on Monday, May 17th for an advance review of Shadoweyes and an exclusive preview excerpt from the book.
Well, this is a special week on She Has No Head! dear readers, as you are getting not one, but two columns this week (try to contain your enthusiasm). Today, a spotlight on the work of creator Ross Campbell, and tomorrow, a conversational interview with Campbell that discusses not only his past work, but his exciting upcoming superhero book from Slave Labor Graphics, Shadoweyes. Additionally, in a few weeks She Has No Head! will have an advance review of Shadoweyes and an exclusive excerpt from the book. But for now…let's take a look at the impressive and surprisingly prolific career of young creator, writer, and artist Ross Campbell. A word of warning, there are some possibly NSFW images below the cut, and definitely some gore, if you're squeamish.
I was genuinely psyched to do a review for the Marjorie Liu X-23 one-shot that came out this past week. I had read CBR's seven-page preview of the issue and was pretty impressed with what I saw.
In fairness, I know very little about X-23. I know she's supposed to be a clone of Wolverine, and that on the surface, though not a bad idea in a way, it's the kind of comics gimmick that generally makes me roll my eyes. I feel like I can actually hear the meeting in which a character like X-23 is created. "No she'll be totally badass! Hardcore and unstoppable like Wolverine – but a hot young chick!" Plus, while I didn't read the issues in question, and thus can't comment specifically on how it was handled, it strikes me as a bad idea to make her a prostitute/victim of sex trafficking. I have a hard time imagining Wolverine (the original male version) being given the same treatment – which seems like a pretty standard example of Women In Refrigerators. I suppose it's another issue entirely whether an X-Men comic book is capable of dealing with such delicate and important subject matter effectively. Having not read the issues and story in question however, I'll put that aside for now.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

Good-evening everyone!
The site (unlvcsun.com) has all of the files and related pages either in the database or online, but for some reason it seems as though it isn't accessing it.
Before anyone states it, yes I did follow the codex by backing up the database and moving it to the new server, grabbing all the files from the old server and placing it on the new one, and making sure permalinks and everything was in order.
Does anyone have any guidance?
