Novaled has announced they will be presenting a new range of state-of-the-art luxury OLED luminaire designs at the 2012 Light + Building fair in Frankfurt. The designs, hand-crafted from innovative high-tech light sources and cutting-edge materials, will be presented under the brand name Liternity®.
The new range of Liternity® luminaires includes a suspension light ("Linfinity"), a wall light ("Lucentury") and a floor light ("Trinity"). These luxurious and innovative lighting designs combine transparent and ultra-thin OLED technologies with high-end, lightweight, stable and indestructible carbon fiber.
The desk lamp Victory, the first commercial product of the Liternity® carbon fibre series, will be introduced in a wide range of colours. Three of the colours feature a unique carbon pattern, and custom-made versions can also be requested. In addition, the exclusive and limited edition desk lamp "Year of the Dragon" in the colour "Black Diamond" will be introduced as part of the Victory range. Its distinctive features are real diamond grains in the lacquer, which reflect the OLED light in an intriguing way. The desk lamp's main body features the shape of a dragon made with Swarovski Elements.
OLED light creates a visual treat, projecting creative light effects onto the open structure of the carbon fiber base of the Liternity® Lights. The multi-layered clear varnish invites a closer look at the handcrafted cutting-edge technology.
Gerd Guenther, Chief Marketing Officer of Novaled, said, "OLEDs are the light of the future, due to their extraordinary characteristics. Liternity captures timelessness in lights and adds a new world of visual experience to living spaces. Building on the Victory series, we are now presenting additional luxury design lamps. With these designs, we offer the opportunity to experience innovative lighting, using state-of-the-art OLED technology and precious materials that are rarely seen in light design."

Most individuals and families are one or two paychecks or one sudden injury from falling behind in their residential mortgage payments and possibly losing their homes.
"We're seeing homeowners - and it isn't the way it was three or four years ago with the subprime or (risky) loans - who are coming in for help," said Savonna Reagan, a housing counselor at STEP Inc., 2138 Lincoln St.
These are homeowners who followed the script of the American dream, who have not had the opportunity to save for a rainy day and are just meeting their daily expenses, she said.
"One slip and fall, one employer cuts back on work hours, and they are in serious trouble," Reagan said.
At present, the housing counselors at STEP are seeing a cross-section of the community asking for assistance. "There's no clear cut demographic," Reagan said. "Absolutely not."
Those seeking counseling and facing foreclosure are living in homes on the lower and upper end of the scale.
"No one is immune," Reagan said. "If they receive (foreclosure) notices by mail, they should run - not walk - into one of the counseling agencies," Reagan maintained. "Please don't ignore notices in the mail."
With no income stipulations to receiving help and services available without cost, Joe Campagna, an attorney and home ownership counselor with STEP, said the counselors are standing by.
"They don't know what to do," Campagna said of many people facing foreclosure. In most cases, they have not had a meaningful conversation with a local housing counselor or attorney, he said.
The administration of President Barack Obama has created federal programs to assist debtors and give them a fair shot at several alternatives to losing their home, Campagna said.
"We're trying to make the home affordable and that is happening with what is known as Home Affordable Modification program with participating lenders throughout the nation," Reagan said.
"The homeowner has the ability to lower interest rate on loans to 2 percent for a period of time," Reagan said. "They can extend the loan terms to 40 years and there is also an opportunity to do a principle reduction."
Principle in a home loan is the original amount borrowed. Each month, the principle repaid is the amount of repayment that exceeds interest and fees charged.
STEP can get homeowners, who go through the process and are eligible, into a plan with lenders to get the monthly mortgage, principle, interest and insurance payment to as close as 31 percent of the gross household income as possible, Reagan said.
"Those who think they are eligible should contact their lenders and initialize the application process," she said. "We sometimes initiate the process for them and after that the homeowner would be put into a three-month trial plan with the payment reflecting closely what the 31 percent would look like."
At the conclusion of the third payment, the homeowner gets another packet stipulating what the permitted modification and interest rate will be, Reagan said. Should the interest rate lower to 2 percent, that would lock in for five years with interest not exceeding 5 percent.
The best advice, however, is for those confused and worried to drop by the STEP office and be persistent and stay the course, Reagan said.
Asked about the new mortgage foreclosure diversionary conference opportunity to forestall potential foreclosures in Lycoming County, Reagan said she was hopeful it will help a lot of people.
Those conferences will be especially important when conversations with lenders are unclear and/or are not successful, she said.
"It is an opportunity for the debtor to get something meaningful and get a fresh start with the mortgage process," she said. "Even if you are frightened with the process, call anyway."

Headband How To
Stay Cool This Summer with a HOT Headband
Written by: Kelly Hausman
Summer is here and it's hot! Instead of throwing your lengthy hair into a pony, put it up with an elastic headband. Use any elastic headband to tuck ends to create a maiden roll.
Step 1: Put an elastic headband over top of your hair.
Step 2: Start at one end of the headband and roll ends into it.
Step 3: Continue with this motion all the way around the back of the band until all the ends make a roll.
Step 4: Leave tendrils out around the face. This creates and easy fresh look for summer.

Title under development by the same studio that made the Jaguar games.
The PC Aliens vs Predator games are some of the scariest games ever made. The movies are some of the stupidest. Hopefully the newest game in the franchise will be more the former than the latter.
Taking on the task is independent developer Rebellion. The same developer, in fact, who made the very first Alien vs Predator game for the Atari Jaguar. Better known as probably the only good Jaguar game ever made.
AvP joins Aliens: Colonial Marines and an Alien RPG, both of which are seeing their releases "strategically updated" to come around the same time as the newcomer. Which means we won't be seeing them for a while. In the meantime, AvP's platform hasn't even been announced, much less its release date. We'll see how long we'll have to wait for this one.

Hopefully...Posted: May 18, 2009 12:00AM PST by da_bahstid
...Since it needs to be stated more emphatically than it already has been...
Hopefully this game will follow the example set by the PC games and completely disavow itself from those god-awful movies created by Fox. God what a bunch of morons.
And no matter how many different ways the AVP movies' astonishingly numerous flaws are discussed, stated, and evaluated, Fox WILL find a way to make the next installment even worse. Sure as Sean Hannity, somehow, someway, and against all odds, you know they will.
Sega and Jaguar, thank you for taking on this ambitious project. And please oh please listen to the overwhelming consensus from the gaming community regarding what has been done right with these series in the past (primarily referring to the PC shooters).
rantPosted: Apr 09, 2009 12:00AM PST by joshpred
I agree with the guy who said that the psp AVP game was awful which doesnt bode too well for this new game if this game is basically an improvement on the old PC avp games then it will be truly awesome and just an idea is porting it to the 360 or even the ps3 as avp would be truly awesome over xbox live with customisable classes different game modes and plenty of maps how about a jungle map or an urban map and please dont have some retarded human predator alliance for some random reason i almost lost faith in the entire franchise right then and there as long as it is at least 18 and and as the predator you can skin people and take skulls maybe a free roaming co-opwould be nice in a big environment maybe new-york or L.Aor even both as crawling up a skyscraper as the alien or predator would be pretty intense. Anywhomy rant is other please let rebeelion not muck it up like they did with that painfully poor attempt at creating a PSP alien versus predator

Irony!Posted: Feb 11, 2009 12:00AM PST by Greatgreen
Strangely enough, this will be a computer game based on a movie based on a computer game based on two movie series'.
@ Marmac_12Posted: Feb 11, 2009 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
....You're kidding, right? There's no way you could've played it back around '94. It was probably the best Jaguar game (out of the few good titles). Shooters were still pretty primitive back then, before Quake, Unreal and Half-Life changed everything.
Pfft.Posted: Feb 11, 2009 12:00AM PST by NosRed7
@Xian042 "Harsh on Jaguar, shame on you"
... please be joking because that system was in fact crap. The 3DO deserves more props than it. Jaguar was horrid and good only for the 3 people out there who entertained themselves making homebrew games for it.
@Hydroponic "Just like GI JOE and star wars this is going to fail just like all games based on movies and movies based on games"
Star Wars had great games in the past, but you wouldn't know that. The SNES platformers were great, the PC graphic adventures were huge, and the N64's Shadows of the Empire and Rebel Assault kick ass in their own eras. Additionally AvP the game existed way before the movie, which is ripped more from the comics than the game. So in summation, learn your s**t.

Lest we forgetPosted: Feb 11, 2009 12:00AM PST by SuckaVanHellsing
Rebellion made Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem for PSP. And it's god awful.
thats not truePosted: Feb 11, 2009 12:00AM PST by umcharliex
AVP was not the only good jaguar game. they had Ironstorm!? (some3d mech simulator) and tempest was pretty good at the time. I remember trading the whole Jag system in for Chrono trigger on SNES. Those where the days
Hell yeah!Posted: Feb 11, 2009 12:00AM PST by RECRUDEATH
I loved the AvP PC game! It was one of the few games that I'd actually play through on the PC. I hope they do a good job with this game and capture the same feeling as before.

Facility will produce HPAPIs, secondary metabolites, cytotoxins, and recombinant proteins.[© orcea david - Fotolia.com]
SAFC completed expansion of its Jerusalem facility, which expands the company's contract manufacturing capabilities in both recombinant proteins and small molecules. The 50,000 sq. ft. cGMP fermentation expansion, which is expected to begin production later this month, will focus on niche fermentation of APIs and bulk drugs, producing high-potent APIs (HPAPI), secondary metabolites, cytotoxins, and large-molecule proteins.
A 30,000 sq. ft. area of the new facility has been designed to be Biosafety Level 2 compliant, enabling manipulation of human pathogens. Capabilities include 1,000 L and 4,000 L tank capacities for bacterial and fungal fermentation as well as explosion-proof suites.
At the Jerusalem facility, SAFC employs E. coli, Streptomyces sp., filamentous fungi, and yeast including risk group 2 human pathogens across a portfolio that includes small organic molecules and peptides as well as larger molecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates or macromolecules.
"We believe a primary differentiator at our Jerusalem site is our capability to safely manufacture niche small molecule products and biologics such as natural or recombinant proteins," remarks SAFC president, Gilles Cottier. "In addition to having industry-leading techniques, capability, and infrastructure to manufacture fermentation-derived HPAPIs, the site is a multidisciplinary, full-service facility offering purification and analytical expertise associated with fermentation technology such as microbiology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
"Fermentation is a long-standing technology, yet new applications have been recently discovered including the synthesis of high-potency compounds, which is a major growth area currently driving contract manufacturers such as SAFC to look beyond traditional active pharmaceutical ingredients," Cottier adds.
The company has two HPAPI facilities in Wisconsin. In April it opened a 51,000 sq. ft. site in Verona, WI, to complement the 63,000 sq. ft. facility already in Madison, WI. SAFC spent $30 million on the Verona plant so that it could support Phase III and commercial HPAPI requirements. It has reactors capable of producing HPAPI batch sizes of up to 4,000 liters, 10 times greater than the capacity at the Madison site. The facility includes a 150 liter mini-processing plant, two large-scale cGMP manufacturing suites, and a potent compound-packaging area.

I love a funky colored lipstick and this one by MAC was just the perfect hot pink color for spring and summer. Wear it with subtle eye makeup and golden tones and you are good to go. The lipstick is very matte, but stays on beautifully! You don't even really need to re-apply it - I do just because I love it when the pigmentation looks super intense. This long lasting lipstick isn't like most since it won't leave your lips super dry. It's a must have for the season. I love it! Retro Matte All Fired Up by MAC

FC Barcelona got a bit of momentum back before their UEFA Champions League clash against AC Milan on Tuesday as El Blaugrana defeated Deportivo de La Coruña 2-0 on Saturday.
Dani Alves' shot at goal was nicely saved by Depor goalkeeper Daniel Aranzubia in the early going. Cesc Fabregas' shot flew high in the 14th minute. Thiago Alcantara's great pass nearly found Cristian Tello for a goal, but Aranzubia made a great save.
David Villa had a wonderful chance in the 25th minute as he had a one-on-one against the keeper, but another great stop by Aranzubia keep it scoreless with two great saves.
In the 38th minute, Dani Alves made a fabulous cross into the box to Alexis Sanchez who finally beat Aranzubia with the header for the opening goal on the night. Terrific play by the Brazilian with the pass, and the Chilean with the goal.
Lionel Messi came into the game in the 62nd minute as he looked to extend his goal-scoring streak in La Liga. What looked like a Messi goal in the 74th minute was called offside.
Messi got his goal in the 88th minute as a great give and go from Leo to Alexis as Sanchez gave a nice assist to Messi who had an even better touch on the goal. Messi has now scored in 17 straight Liga games.
FINAL: FC Barcelona 2 - 0 Deportivo
Let's look at my three takeaways "From The Mind of Xoel" as FC Barcelona defeated Depor 2-0 ahead of Barça's clash with Milan on Tuesday.

An implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) is an electronic device that constantly monitors the patient's heart rhythm. When the device detects certain abnormal heart rhythms, it delivers a small shock to the heart muscle to restore a normal heart rhythm. The shock will be brief and may feel very uncomfortable. Studies show that an ICD can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
Heartmate II implanted
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA, sometimes called sudden cardiac death [SCD]) is a sudden, unexpected death caused by a loss of heart function due to an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). The ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) flutter or quiver (ventricular fibrillation) or the heart beats dangerously fast (ventricular tachycardia), and blood is not delivered to the rest of the body. A person suffering SCA will first lose consciousness, and death will follow. SCA is responsible for 30 percent of deaths among patients with mild to moderate heart failure.
Patients with heart failure are 6 to 9 times more likely than the general population to experience ventricular arrhythmias that can lead to SCA. Because you are at risk for SCA, talk to your family members so they understand your condition and the importance of seeking immediate care in the event of an emergency. Family members and friends of those at risk for SCA should know how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Although more than 90 percent of people who suffer SCA die, it can be treated and reversed if the person receives immediate emergency action. Survival is as high as 90 percent if treatment is initiated within the first minutes after arrhythmia begins, but the survival rate decreases by about 10 percent each minute the patient waits for treatment.
Prevention of SCA and death includes placement of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
Emergency treatment for SCA includes CPR and defibrillation.
Some patients with systolic heart failure can benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also referred to as biventricular pacing, which helps the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) contract normally.
About 30% of patients with heart failure have electrical problems in one or more ventricles that cause delays in ventricular muscle contraction (pumping). When the ventricular muscles do not contract together, the amount of oxygen-rich blood the heart normally pumps to the body's organs and muscles is decreased. Pumping delays make heart failure worse (increased fatigue, shortness of breath and other symptoms) and can increase the risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and death from heart failure.
CRT involves the implantation of a pacemaker with 3 leads (wires) that keeps the left and right ventricles pumping together. The pacemaker sends small, painless electrical impulses to the heart muscle through the leads that cause the right and left ventricles to be stimulated at the same time.
Some patients with heart failure may benefit from combination therapy with CRT and an ICD. The use of a combination device (CRT-D) keeps the left and right ventricles of the heart beating together and can shock the heart back into normal rhythm if ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation occurs.
CRT, with or without an ICD, improves symptoms in about half of all patients with heart failure who still have symptoms after exhausting all medication options. CRT improves survival, quality of life, heart function, the ability to exercise, and helps decrease hospitalizations in some patients with systolic heart failure.
Many internal cardiac devices have monitoring features and software so your doctor or nurse can monitor not only your heart rhythm, but also your heart function and activity level. You may be asked to use a telephone to send information from your device to a computer server so your condition can be monitored. Or, your device may use a handheld personal digital assistant (PDA) to send data to your healthcare provider. Other types of internal monitoring devices are emerging. For example, one device that is the size of a small paper clip can be placed in a blood vessel near your heart to monitor pressure in the blood vessel and left ventricle. The information can be sent to a computer server so your doctor or nurse can remotely review your heart function and give you treatment advice. These and other devices may let your healthcare team watch trends in your heart function that could lead to changes in the medications you take and reinforce the importance of a healthy diet, exercise, medication and monitoring to stay healthy.

Jury convicts inmate of sexual assault on Albion prison doctor
A jury deliberated more than two hours Tuesday before convicting a state prison inmate of attacking and sexually assaulting a prison psychiatrist in September in the State Correctional Institution at Albion.
The jury found D'Rob Sanders, 34, guilty of attempted rape, aggravated assault, aggravated indecent assault, attempted sexual assault, simple assault, indecent assault, indecent exposure and a summary charge of harassment.
With the verdict, the jury rejected defense efforts to cast doubts on the doctor's ability to recall the Sept. 24 assault.
Sanders' lawyer, John Moore, said the doctor had suffered a head injury that might have interfered with her perceptions and said there was no medical evidence to back her aggravated indecent assault claims.
The panel sided instead with Assistant District Attorney Erin Connelly, who said the jury had been given more than enough evidence to convict Sanders, including clear testimony from the doctor, photos of injuries to her face and neck and the testimony of witnesses who entered the room shortly after the assault.
Sanders, who is already serving a lengthy sentence for assault charges that originated in Allegheny and Cumberland counties, likely faces several more years in state prison when he is sentenced July 17. Connelly is researching whether a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years applies to the charge of aggravated assault.
Sanders is currently an inmate at SCI Forest in Marienville, where he is serving an unrelated sentence of seven and one half to 22 years.
The verdict came after a quick trial in Judge John Garhart's courtroom that included testimony from the victim and evidence that Sanders, posing as another inmate who had an appointment with the doctor, managed to bypass two security checkpoints and enter the doctor's office without providing the required photo identification.
The doctor said she was in her office waiting for the other inmate to arrive for an appointment when Sanders, a former patient of hers, entered her office, closed the door and turned off the lights.
She said he pulled her to the floor and in a 10- to 15-minute struggle alternately tried to smother and strangle her and rape her. He sexually molested her, she said, but she fended off the rape by stabbing him with a pen, putting her thumb in his eye and kicking at him. In the course of the struggle, he pushed her against a cement wall where she struck her head. She said she continues to suffer multiple physical and cognitive problems from the head injury and has not been able to return to work.
The assault ended when she managed to use her foot to knock her desk phone off the hook, which triggered a silent alarm.
Before any help arrived, she said, Sanders stopped attacking her and looked at her with a surprised look on his face and told her, "I am sick."
He was leaving her office when corrections officers arrived. Sanders stopped when ordered to and remarked, "I know what I did," said Corrections Officer Regis Callahan Jr.
Testimony indicated that Sanders first approached the security station in his housing unit by claiming to be another inmate who had an appointment with the doctor. Corrections Officer Ricky Wallace said he asked Sanders for his identification and Sanders left.
On that day, Wallace said, he was trying to process the movements of several inmates, some of whom were moving into the unit and several who were moving out. When Sanders approached him again, Wallace said, he again asked Sanders for his identification. Wallace said Sanders reached into his pants pocket and partially pulled his hand back out again as if he were displaying an ID card and nodded at Wallace. Sanders then took off Wallace's desk the other inmate's medical pass to see the doctor and left.
Wallace said he meant to look at Sanders' identification card but was busy with the other inmates. He said that the method of ID display that Sanders' used -- pulling a card partly from a pocket -- had happened on other occasions.
"It did happen," he said.
Sanders next appeared at the security station in the medical area where he showed the other inmate's medical pass. Corrections Officer Donald Golden said he asked Sanders for identification but Sanders said he did not have it with him. Golden said the identification cards of several inmates had been seized because of tampering issues. He said he checked Sanders' pass and let Sanders proceed to the doctor without producing his photo ID because Sanders had shown a pass to see the doctor and because the doctor had just called and asked if the inmate whose name was on the pass had arrived for his appointment.
It is not known if the security breaches resulted in any disciplinary actions or changes in policy. A state Department of Corrections spokeswoman could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.

Available in black, grey and white options, the neutral main color sets the stage for the colorful contrast by the hem, a part of a shirt we don't usually see singled-out for decoration.

No Good Reason for Elephant Trainers to Use Bull Hooks
TCPalm.Com - "Ask the Experts"
A tool of elephant trainers has been around for centuries. It essentially is a fireplace poker with a sharp point to push and a sharp hook to pull. And whether you call it an ankus, a bull hook or a guide (the favored politically correct term currently in use by zoos and circuses), it is in my experience all too often just a cruel weapon.

ELKINS - In the course of three summer camps at the Old Brick Playhouse this month, 75 local students have performed plays for their families, broadened their theatrical skills and had an educational good time.
Summer camp season at the Old Brick closes out this week with 35 students ages 8 to 11 ready to take on their roles in "The Further Adventures of Beauty and the Beast" on Friday. The summer camp program has been servicing aspiring actors and actresses during the summer for nearly 22 years.
Executive Director Missy Armentrout McCollam always aims to create a positive learning environment for those participating so they will grow to become more comfortable on stage.

Dylan Hinzman and Alexandra Hall participate in activties at The Old Brick Playhouse.
Campers Eli Wells-Bolyard and Lucas D'Angelo practice their roles.
"I know that it builds self-confidence. The first time they're in a play somewhere, it's usually a negative experience," said McCollam, "Even if they forget their lines we try to make it as low stress as possible so that they want to do it again."
McCollam and her staff try to incorporate a packed schedule of theatrical events and games into the camps. She said this way kids can enjoy a summer camp experience while meeting others from the community and exercising their creativity through theatrical projects.
Each play is handpicked from familiar material and transformed into a script that accommodates both the amount of students participating and their needs.
"The camps have gone really well. We had great attendance this year," said McCollam.
The first week of the summer camps featured the youngest group of campers, ages 5 to 7, McCollam said.
The second week featured middle school and high school campers participating in what the Playhouse calls,"Studi-oli-o." The program is modeled after college acting classes.
"Studi-oli-o" students write and perform their own original monologues, and perform aspects of musical theatre in order to broaden their training.

Art Production Fund and Nevada Museum of Art Present Seven Magic Mountains by Ugo Rondinone, A Large Scale Desert Installation Near Las VegasAcross the desert south of Las Vegas, Nevada, rises a large, colorful anomaly. Seven colossal stone forms defy gravity with their formations. The shapes, reminiscent of naturally-occurring hoodoos, seem poised between monumentality and collapse. The mammoth contemporary cairns created by internationally-renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone evoke the art of meditative rock balancing, and mark his place in the history of Land Art.

Three LSU golfers shot even-par rounds Wednesday, and the Lady Tigers are tied for third after the first round of the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship at Bryan, Texas.
Megan McChrystal, Austin Ernst and Jacquiline Hedwall each shot 72 and are tied for 10th. LSU is tied with Purdue for third place at 4-over-par 292, three shots behind leader UCLA and one shot behind second-place Virginia.
"Pars are great," Ernst said.
McChrystal and Ernst each had three bogeys and three birdies, and Hedwall had two bogeys and two birdies and made par on every hole on the back nine. McChrystal made three birdies on the final five holes.
LSU's other counting score was Amalie Valle's 4-over 76.
"This is kind of the same way we did in the regionals," LSU Coach Karen Bahnsen said. "We were in there fighting for every stroke and keeping our composure, and that's the key. They kept their poise about them. That's why we continue to finish strong, and that's what we've got to do the rest of the week. Just stay in our own little world. Don't worry about what is going on around us, because you can't control that, and keep managing their game."
LSU's 292 round was the second-lowest the Lady Tigers have shot in an NCAA Championship. They shot a 291 in the opening round in 1998 in Madison, Wis.
Ernst, a freshman, is trying to finish in the top 10 in all three of LSU's postseason events. She knows how important the pars and par saves are.
"I hit the ball OK," said Ernst. "I didn't hit a lot of greens early in the round. But things settled down. The winds were tough at times. It's a case of just keep grinding, and I got some key putts to fall toward the end. It's a good start for us, and now we just need to build on it."
"You are playing the NCAA Championship, you've got the USGA pins and they make great pin placements, and you just have to be very patient," said Bahnsen. "With the wind blowing it's hard to get it close, so you have to remain patient, and they did a good job of that (Wednesday)."
Brittany Altomare of Virginia is the first-round individual leader at 3-under 69. Nine players broke par in the first round.
Tulane sophomore Maribel Lopez Porras, the Green Wave's first individual qualifier, shot 6-over 78 and is in 79th place.

Sheriff's detectives arrested a once-deported illegal immigrant after finding he had baggies of methamphetamine and a gun in his car and home, authorities said.
Byron Rousil, 28, was a convicted felon living in a Canyon Country home, authorities said. Sheriff's officials said Monday they didn't know what country Rousil was from.
Detectives pulled over Rousil on suspicion of speeding near the intersection of Fairweather Street and Camp Plenty Road on Friday, according to a Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station report.
In Rousil's car, detectives found four baggies of methamphetamine. They later served a search warrant at Rousil's home and found more of the drug and a loaded gun.
Rousil was booked on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine for sale and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
He also faces possible federal charges for illegal entry into the United States, a felony that can result in a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison, said Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Russian Family offers catering as well as full seat-down service, deli and bakery. The menu and store hours can be found on their website: http://www.russianfamily.net.
Update: Took my American, Honduran, and Russian friends from work to Russian Family Bistro last Friday for dinner. It was quite an experience! The owner was very nice and did not try speaking Russian to us at all. Usually owners of Russian restaurants prefer Russian language even if the guests are English speaking. We had some rassolnik, solyanka, bliny, kotlety s grechkoi, gulyazh, pirozhki, and olivie. All of the dishes were very tasty. Olivie could have had a little less mayo for my taste though, but still good. Kindzmarauli and hvanchkara wines complemented our dinner very well. Still, the main reason for the success of that event was the company, of course.

"I've figured out my life – it's structured in a way where it works for me," Pamela Anderson told us at a recent Sirius Satellite Radio party in New York. That's no small feat, given that the buxom star has had her hands full lately – among other things, she's launching a clothing line, The Pamela Collection, this month and pens a monthly column for Jane magazine. She also lends her voice to Stripperella, an animated series about a stripper-superhero on Spike TV, is writing two novels that are "loosely based on my life" as part of a deal with Simon and Schuster, and "I do an advice column for Elle too." All this, and "I don't have a nanny," Anderson says. "I figure I work when my kids are at school and I travel when my kids are at their father's (rocker Tommy Lee) every second weekend." And, as if she didn't have enough on her plate already, Anderson says she's "possibly going to do a very, very, very big movie, and I'm not allowed to say what it is, but it's going to be within the next year." Stay tuned.
How does Kate Winslet manage a busy career and motherhood? "You have to compartmentalize, even if it means losing sleep," the British actress told James Lipton in an interview for Bravo's Inside the Actor's Studio. (She had baby Joe with her husband, director Sam Mendes, in December. Her daughter, Mia, with first husband Jim Threapleton, is 3.) Still, even Winslet has her limits. When Lipton teased her by asking her to tap dance for the audience full of acting and directing students, Winslet cried: "I'm lactating here, I can't!" Her advice to the students? Acting is "the most insane thing to do with your life, so don't do it," she joked. The interview is scheduled to air in March; Winslet will appear next on the big screen alongside Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
When he's not rehearsing or performing in the hit Broadway show The Producers, Matthew Broderick says he's content to stay at home with son James. "I have to admit, I'm very happy to have him," he tells PEOPLE.com. "With The Producers, I'm home a lot in the day. It's a very good schedule. It's worse for sleep is all."

MARTINSBURG - As the rain poured outside, ladies in 19th-century dresses - complete with hoop skirts - bustled about the Belle Boyd House Saturday afternoon as Martinsburg Heritage Day got under way.
Belle Boyd herself was even in attendance. Portrayed by Tricia Strader, the infamous Confederate spy came to life to tell her story. Strader said she first discovered the Belle Boyd house when doing genealogical research. She found Boyd was a distant relative, she said.
"One thing led to another and it kind of took on a life of its own," Strader said of her foray into living history. "(Belle Boyd is) my alter ego."

Carla Chambers, center, of Martinsburg, fundraises for her Relay for Life team, Team Piglet, Saturday morning at Jam Fest. The event, in its fourth year, was held in conjunction with Martinsburg Heritage Day, and concluded the Paint the Town Purple awareness week downtown.

Tricia Strader poses beneath a portrait of Belle Boyd — Martinsburg's famous confederate spy — Saturday during Martinsburg Heritage Day. Strader, who has been portraying Boyd for more than a decade, said she enjoys the intimacy that living history brings to visitors and students.
Part of the mission of the Berkeley County Historical Society, who runs and operates out of the house, is to not only preserve, but also present history of the county to its residents and visitors. The BCHS participation in Heritage Day goes hand-in-hand with that mission, according to Vice President Don Silvius.
Silvius pointed out two new Civil War displays on the first floor of the home. One gave a timeline of West Virginia's statehood, while the other narrowed its focus to the advance and retreat of Confederate and Union soldiers during the Battle of Gettysburg.
"We want to show that it really did happen here," Silvius said of the Battle of Martinsburg, which occurred in June 1863.
"We want to show this is what happened, this is when it happened."
Heritage Day gives the BCHS the opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of the founders of Martinsburg, all while conveying that information to the public, said BCHS President Todd Funkhouser.
"It allows our historians and staff to research various components of the history of Berkeley County and to promote it to the current generation," Funkhouser said.
Living history helps this process, Strader said. While many museums focus on using technology in their exhibits, Strader said she prefers the intimate qualities of reenacting.
"I like the personal aspect where you actually have a reenactor either fighting on the battlefield or you have someone in period dress, in first person at the house where someone can walk up to them ... and interact and discuss (history), either in character or out of character," Strader said.
Martinsburg Heritage Day also featured Jam Fest, a fundraiser for Berkeley County Relay for Life and conclusion of Paint the Town Purple awareness week. Though the event is in its fourth year, this marked the first time it was held in conjunction with Heritage Day, according to Jam Fest Chair Penny Horner.
"We saw this opportunity to involve downtown more and to have more people to attend and just be in the middle of everything," Horner said. "It helps bring the community together, and to support our Main Street Martinsburg businesses."
While Saturday proved to be more rainy and gray than event organizers might have preferred, Horner said that didn't stop the more than 10 Relay for Life teams, vendors and musical entertainment from giving Jam Fest their all.
"It just an inspiration to see people with such commitment to help us to help this event to become more successful," Horner said.

Dunlin is one of the characteristic nesting species of England's peatlands
Image: Chris Gomersall
Burning, drainage and other forms of intensive land management in England's iconic peat-covered hills are threatening to create a series of environmental catastrophes.
In good condition England's upland peatlands are internationally-important for wildlife, supporting species like dunlin, sundew and sphagnum mosses. And these iconic landscapes also lock up vast stores of carbon and help hold back water. But in poor condition, when damaged by draining or burning, those benefits can be lost, releasing carbon and peat-stained water.
Across huge swathes of the uplands in northern England, vegetation is burnt on a 10-25 year rotation to yield optimum conditions for producing the maximum number of red grouse for commercial shooting.
Despite large amounts of public money going in to the conservation of the English uplands, Natural England's own figures show that only around 10 per cent of our finest wildlife upland peatland sites are in good condition. An RSPB assessment of the scale of burning on England's upland peatlands has revealed at least 127 separate historic agreements or consents allowing burning of blanket bog on sites internationally important for birds and deep peatland habitats.
The UK Government has confirmed all of those agreements are on areas managed for grouse shooting. In the past, many of the best, wettest areas of upland peatland were drained to 'improve' them for sheep grazing and grouse production. Today, land managers burn vegetation to provide the optimum conditions for red grouse.
"England's uplands are some of our most iconic, extensive and important landscapes"
Natural England is the Government's nature conservation advisor for England. Natural England's recently published evidence review – published in May last year – clearly establishes that burning vegetation on deep peat soils is preventing the recovery of the habitat and the species these protected sites are intended to look after. The RSPB now expects Natural England to use its own evidence to produce unequivocal guidelines to turn this situation around by bringing an end to burning on our protected upland peatlands.
In addition to improving the conservation condition of deep-peat habitats, ending burning will secure vital stocks of carbon (stored over millennia as peat) and help improve raw water quality, reducing treatment costs.
Dr Mike Clarke, RSPB's Chief Executive, said: "England's uplands are some of our most iconic, extensive and important landscapes. Our assessment shows they could be among our most damaged too. For the benefit of wildlife, the environment and wider society there is an urgent need to restore these landscapes by blocking drains, re-vegetating bare peat and bringing an end to burning."
A number of organisations, including the RSPB, are working in local partnerships to restore degraded blanket bog in the North Pennines, North York Moors, Bowland, the Peak District and Dartmoor.
The intensity of management activity became clear following investigations into land management practices on part of an internationally-important site: Walshaw Moor, near Hebden Bridge, in the South Pennine Moors. Walshaw Moor is protected under both the European Union's Birds Directive and the European Union's Habitats Directive.
Natural England attempted to take steps to halt the burning of blanket bog on the Walshaw Moor estate and began a prosecution against alleged damage. Their action was designed to restore Walshaw Moor were suddenly dropped due to insufficient confidence in the available science. The RSPB heavily criticised this decision at the time. The Society decided the only way to secure the restoration was to take the significant step of pursuing a complaint to the European Commission. Natural England's evidence review has now confirmed the RSPB's assessment that allowing the continued burning of blanket bog would prevent it being restored.
The RSPB is inviting Natural England to provide an update on what practical restoration has been achieved on the ground at Walshaw Moor since the estate is receiving agri-environment funding to assist with that restoration. The RSPB believes the owners of the Walshaw Moor estate have been awarded funding to block hundreds of artificial drains and generally improve the habitat condition.
The RSPB is not sure whether Walshaw Moor is typical of the historic agreements and consents to burn blanket bog across the English uplands, or if it is an extreme case.
Dr Mike Clarke added: "On the basis of our assessment we trust that Natural England will ensure that existing agreements with landowners and their impacts on internationally-important sites are reviewed. Any future agreements must deliver the best outcome for peatlands and the wildlife it supports, and ensure that public money is being spent wisely."
