Published: 2012-03-20, by Manu Galvez.
Sleeping tight doesn't depends on the amount of hours you sleep, but the sleep phases you complete and in which point of that phases you wake up. We can turn our Android into a sleep tracker to monitor our sleep phases, didn't you know it? Well, thanks to Sleep Diary you can do it.
Sleep Cycle monitors your movement during sleep using the phone accelerometer. This way you can control some parameters like when you want to wake up: in the lightest phase of your sleep. Activating it is as easy as tapping on "Start Tracking". However, we recommend you to previously configure from settings your ideal sleep time (to control your lack of sleep), notifications, sounds, phone mode and movement sensor calibration. After that, you can rate your sleeping with up to 5 sheep (like stars), add notes and keep it in your sleep history. From stats you can visualize and understand how our sleep cycle evolve.
Besides sleep tracker, Sleep Diary is also a smart alarm. Set the waking up time, days of the week you want it to sound, snooze time, wake up activities (activity to disable the alarm: shake the device, solve a calculation...), gradual alarm. Finally, alarm time in a period where you sleep is light.
It has been optimized to minimize battery leaks. It supports English & German languages. This is a great app for those who want to make the most of their sleeping time. Recommendable.

Now I would like to ask you about making Christmas Pudding. In my country (in Hungary) I can buy Christmas Pudding only from shop which is not very tasty but I like that. I've decided I ask you about perfect recipe.
Do you have any good recipe?
Send me one of them,please.
Thanks and bye for now

Re: Ask me a cooking question
My partner & I love All Butter Shortbread, but it's SO FATTENING mainly because of butter content.
I read somewhere that it's possible to use Natural Yoghurt instead of the butter.
I also life the texture when I use about a third Rice Flour.
So my question is can you give me advice or a recipe for plain/vanilla shortbread using part/all Rice Flour and Natural Yoghurt instead of butter?
Prefer it in Grams or Ounces - cannot think in cup measurements.
Many thanks
P.S. I have two of Jamie Oliver cookbooks so trust you.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hello Jamie and crew
My family and I have made 2013 our year of BETTER. Living better, eating better and trying new things. Life is too short!
With this in mind we all went off to an Indian restaurant on the weekend (neither my husband or son have every eaten at one) to try something new.
Although they found the Butter Chicken too spicy, they liked a dish which was titled "Beef Curry". Not Madras, Balti or anything else, just called Beef Curry (As it was at the top of the menu, I think it was put there to avoid confusion for newbies). It was a runny dark brown gravy style curry, not spicy or hot. I was wondering if you could suggest a recipe that would be similiar that I could try at home.
I have made several dishes from both the 30 min and 15 min books and have adapted things as needed. You used the Jalfreezie paste in the 30 min book, and unfortunately in Australia we can't seem to get it in in Pataks range. So I swapped it for Balti - they liked it! The REALLY good thing is that both my hubby and son see how hard I try when creating these dishes - neither of them are game enough not to try it.
Your suggestion for the mild brown gravy style Beef Curry would be appreciated (even a Pataks or Sharwood paste that may be suitable?).
Many thanks, love your books and shows!!
Much appreciated.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Jamie Hee!
We can not be good English so excuse.
But what is written on the Internet about your recipes is complete nonsense.
We are all delicious!!
The decisive factor is probably how the ingredients were grown. And if you are organically grown, the food is always better than the industry.

Hey Jamie,
Can I request some recipes for pregnant women please? I love cooking, but now that Im pregnant its really hard because I have to keep checking if Im allowed to eat all the ingredients. I know your wife has been through it herself and was hoping you could give us some healthy recipes from your experience with her. And if you feel inspired, please write a recipe book for pregnancy!

Hi Jamie,
I will be making your roast lamb shoulder with smashed veg for guests and have one question. Rather than the bone-in roast you use in the recipe I have a boneless rolled lamb shoulder of about 2 kg. How will the cooking temperature and time change because of that?

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Where to start, cheslaufren98?! We don't know anything about your present cooking skills but I'm thinking you would like to prepare something simple. Don't know where you are in the world either; it makes a difference.
For a start, I'm actually cooking venison sausages braised in red wine. It's simple and suspect extremely tasty. I shall serve this with mashed potatoes and perhaps a green veg. This recipe is with compiments of Delia Smith (sorry Jamie - ya can't win 'em all
If you could be more specific in what type of meal you would like to cook, it would help and give us some clues as to your expertise.
You're very young and it's very encouraging to hear of your interest in cooking for the family. Well done and good luck. Come back if you want further advice.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
I need help. My Mum has recently become gluten and lactose intolerant. She's lost so much weight (roughly 15kg) as a result she is now underweight. I would love to know of gluten and lactose free recipes that are 1. Tasty and 2. Could help her gain some weight. She works 13 hour days so preferably something quick and easy. Thank you xx

1 International Border crossing.

431/2 hours total riding time
3 Washington State Ferry crossing.
1 Half mile long line to get back into the US from British Columbia
1 600+ mile day riding in a Oregon Gully-washer.
1 Tire replacement due to a 2 1/2inch long screw firmly planted into a newer PR2 with only 3K miles on it.
And, for those who've had the experience you will know what I mean, many hours of riding Oregon's Great Roads.
One can't say enough good things about them.
And the realization that even with a cheesy free phone one can take some fairly good pix and email proof of your bonus snag right from the bonus location. Within 2 mins you receive a text message from the BMR site confirming that your message was successfully received and you're on your way to the next location. And it's nice to see ones pix already posted when you get home.
RenoJohn and his assistants have come up with a very simple process to transfer data and stay up to date on results from a rider's perspective as well as a spectators.
Its been great fun and impressive to how well this whole effort has been planned out and put into play. Congrats to John and his entire team for the Big Money Rally's success to date.
I'm now looking at starting the 2012 Dam Tour at the end of the month. Given that DT 2012 and the BMR have teamed up on certain bonus locations, and the 2012 DT list of dams are filtered in nicely with many on the BMR locations, my snag count should continue to go up as the weeks pass.
Thanks to RenoJohn for this great rally .

I have another points gathering ride planned down to the start of the Cape Fear 1000 in a couple weeks. Hopefully Mr. Bain will grace me with a 5 and I can add to my tally!
If I can get all the points I'm planning, I may achieve finisher status at the MD RTE on April 28th*. All are invited, not just BMR participants, though you must be a participant to win the BMR-related prizes. There will be a competition for the best Hello Kitty adorned motorcycle, so good fun should be had by all!

The first stop was Neah Bay, WA (Cafe To Cafe) and the last stop, four days and 2,345 miles later was in Ellensburg, WA, (Cafe To Cafe). Then 100 miles to home. Spotwalla link here
The best vista of the 2,445 miles, and there where many worth noting, was the Stuart Range north of Cle Elum, WA. only 80 miles from home. They were as magnificent as I have ever seen them with all the snow, the unusual twilight lighting and contrast of the surrounding terrain. (I had to slow down to 70 or to take it all in.) What a welcome home!
My total BMR Points to date are 258,(Double Finisher Status?) with 15 more points and a Rootbeer Float this week-end at the BMR RTE in Issaquah, WA. There 8 other BMR RTEs in other cities around the country over the next two weeks.
The BMR has already been great fun for many reasons, however, it gets better and better as the months click off. Go to theBMR Site and see what I mean. There is still plenty of time to sign up and enjoy the fun. Likewise for Dam Tour and Cafe to Cafe in the PNW.
Keep Going!

(anyone have pics of what this looks like) I know I'm supposed to feed until they have capped stores, does that mean sugar or honey? and how much should be capped? I started with a large swarm and I am using a golden mean top bar, and they are going like gang busters! I only have one bar open moving forward and about 6 bars open moving back all looks good as far as capped brood etc.

When college doesn't appeal to you, you can't find a good job, and you have a hard time passing drug tests, you're really only left with one career option, stand-up comedy. Geoff Tate discovered this life path only a few short years ago but is already making it work for him. He toured the country as part of the Comedy Central Live Presents' Mike Birbiglia's Secret Public Journal Live, he appeared at The Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, he's been on The Bob and Tom Show several times and appeared on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham. Geoff "has a knack for mining his own personal history for big laughs" (The Capital Times, Madison, WI) and his style has been compared to the late Mitch Hedberg (The Columbus Dispatch, Columbus, OH).

Hello All,
Some great advice from Sheepish.
Making the most of your Outdoor Gear Budget
You might think you'd never hear this from a business selling outdoor gear, but let's face it, getting together a complete backpacking kit can be a considerable investment, so let's consider how to best go about making decisions for gear. One thing I found difficult when putting together my gear was the tendency to concentrate on the super cool accessories at the expense of more vital gear. A common example? Getting several iterations of titanium spoon while not yet having a sleeping bag that doesn't have a Disney character on the front. What's the main problem with having this approach, after all, can't you just get gear over time, as you can afford it? Certainly, but consider the fact that while you can carry a regular tea spoon, you're not quite as likely to get into the outdoors with your futon mattress. Try to place a priority on your essential gear, like your pack, shelter, and sleeping bag, and that will allow you to spend more time outdoors, then you can concentrate on getting the creature comforts just right after you get more experience and learn what your actual needs are.
Shepherd's note: If you are looking to replace that Little Mermaid sleeping bag, now is the time!
What do you think is the one piece of gear you cannot be without when outdoors?
Happy Hiking!

text: Well that changes everything For potable water, I do recommend a water service. A couple of years ago we bought a water cooler and now have the big jugs delivered and picked up at a very reasonable cost. Doesn't solve the bathing problem, but at least we always have a good supply of drinkable water for ourselves and our pets, should the city supply be compromised. For the generator, could you just get a small one that can power a fan in one room? Might be a lot more efficient than trying to cool the whole house - I though AC systems were particularly high energy users.

Upside ? easy Ansah
Jordan possibly.
Ansah has almost more certain upside.
Montgomery, imo, is pretty maxed out physically, can add another 10 pounds or so. But I dont think he has vast untapped potential like the other two.


text: I have 5 hives that I intend to split this year. I use medium supers all the way - including the hive bodys. Three of the hives are a total of four supers and two of the hives are five supers. The supers are all full to the brim. I have been feeding for a month - and the bees have been active for about half that time on the warmer days. My plan was/is for walk away splits - a full super of brood, with a super on top of that with new foundation (not drawn out), and then a full super of honey on top of that. I have noticed drone comb in several of the hives - so I think they are ready. I might - depending on what the brood looks like when I get in there - make an extra hive in addition to just making 2 for 1 splits. Any advice? Would you put empty supers on the top to begin with - or let them get established?

The play opens in the wake of a nasty domestic assault that paranoid Jake (Dana Packard) has inflicted upon his wife Beth (Jennifer Porter), a small-time actress. It's not the first time, but Jake despondently tells his brother Frankie (William McDonough III) that it's the last: This time, he's sure, he's killed her. Frankie hauls him back to their childhood home, where their mother Lorraine (the great Jackie Oliveri, sassy and hard) and sister Sally (Francesca Jellison) still live, and Jake goes catatonic with despair. But Beth, though bruised blue and battered into deep brain damage, is in fact alive in a hospital bed. Soon, her brother Mike (C. James Roberts) takes her back to the home of their parents, hunter and livestock man Baylor (Michael Howard) and housewife Meg (Koko Keller, deceptively mild). The stage is now set to explore the genetic lines of their pathology.
It leads back through their parents, naturally. Set in their ways, self-absorbed, and myopic to their children's real needs, obsessive, brassy Californian Lorraine and backwoods Montanans Baylor and Meg (all excellent) might have stepped out of a circus mirror. Their children, as a result, are alone: Beth struggles through one shadow landscape of lost language, and Jake lurches through another landscape of darkened memory, as he revisits the death of his father in Mexico.
This production offers some poignant windows into those psychological places: Porter's Beth stutters vertiginously, bringing suspense to her momentum toward deceptively simple words like "costume" or "love." At one point Packard's Jake, on his knees with his father's urn, glances stage left into a low-lit memory of Beth, then looks back to the ashes, which he blows into his own fading light (fine lighting designed by Jamie Grant). In simple moments like these, these actors beautifully evoke the presence of ghosts that their characters cannot express or reconcile.
Such moments actually play more affectingly than some of the drama's more obvious high notes: A major revelation of Sally to Lorraine, about the death of her father, falls a bit flat; Jake's and Mike's higher-decibel outbursts sometimes seem a little short of red blood; the more heavy-handed symbols of Beth's stutters feel, indeed, like symbols. But among this cast's achievements is the ability to convey tragedy through their delivery of small, colloquial details: Lorraine's warm if wry memory of "a sorrel mare and a big, dumb, gray gelding" that she and her husband rode in better days; Jake reminding Sally of the time their dad put on a Lefty Frissell album and spun her around until she puked; Meg softly bemoaning all the venison, venison, venison she's obliged to eat all winter, every year.

But that wasn't the conversation Peter was prepared to have — and we never got around to having it.
Canellos, the paper's former Washington bureau chief, was more interested in the short-term politics of the Keystone pipeline debate, and the economic impact of natural gas expansion in Massachusetts, and what raising renewable energy standards would mean for regional jobs. Smart, sensible questions. Balanced. Analytical. Above the fray. In short, what counts as serious on the opinion pages of mainstream American newspapers.
And, it has to be said, they were questions that revealed precisely the kind of narrow, incremental, politically straitjacketed mindset that's leading us off the climate cliff. Indeed, they were the kind of questions that make you wonder whether the speaker is even aware of the cliff we're racing toward — or what planet we're living on.
Yes, the Globe's editorial page supports policies to curb greenhouse emissions. It recently called, in the lead editorial on August 26, for lowering the emissions cap imposed by the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which has already reduced carbon emissions from power plants in the Northeast faster than expected.
Good for them. But that same editorial was telling, and representative, in a far more important way. With its underlying message that, hey, we're making real progress here, things are going better than planned — that, in short, we're winning —it revealed an utter failure to grapple with the scale and urgency of the climate crisis. It revealed the same outlook that was on display in that meeting.
But it's not only the Globe. This failure is repeated across the mainstream media landscape — the product of a mindset in which climate change is simply another environmental problem, albeit a particularly complex one for which we'll eventually find a technical fix, mainly by doing more or less the same things we're doing now, only more efficiently and with better technology. It's nothing to get too excited about.
It's certainly not anything to sacrifice your career over.
About a year and a half ago — having left my job as the senior producer of NPR's On Point the year before — I took a deliberate leap of conscience and became a climate activist.
There was no single moment when I knew that I had to jump — any more than there's a single moment when night turns to day. It was a gradual process of coming to see the facts that were right in front of me. In December 2009, while still at On Point (a show that has since done better than most in conveying the urgency of the climate crisis), I watched the collapse of the UN climate talks in Copenhagen, a make-or-break moment for the planet. In the voices of cool-headed climate experts, I now heard the sound of something new: something like fear, and disbelief, and the sound of real anger, bitterness, outrage. Then in the spring and summer of 2010, as it became clear that Congress would fail to pass even the weakest bipartisan climate legislation, and that the president of the United States would fail to lead, and that all the lobbying the environmental movement could muster would fail to match the power of the fossil fuel lobby, I watched the tragedy of our democracy unfold and felt in my gut the futility of a corrupt and paralyzed political system.

Looks like if anyone can do this it's probably you.
I flip my veil back, pull my glasses down and squint w/ my right eye looking in cells w/ the Sunlight coming over my shoulder. I have trouble seeing whether that cell or those cells are actually empty or occupied by an egg or not because of the shininess of the bottom of a newly polished cell.
That's why I look for young larvae and not eggs. Eggs are too hard for old eyes to see. After cataract surgery I'll have to carry reading glasses to wear under my veil.

Embossing sticks and textured rolling pins are great tools to have. It gives you the opportunity to add amazing details to your fondant covered cakes and cookies. The embossing sticks are from Holly Products.
The first photo shows set 2, and the second photo shows set 10. Lately I have used them on my cookies with fantastic results. But you can also make some beautiful borders to finish off your cakes (see photo below).
When I use textured rolling pins I do not use them on the whole cake. I like to use them for smaller details. Fx. if you are to making a baby shower cake, you could use it for the baby's blanket and/or for the bib and so on. You could also use them for borders on cakes and cookies as well.
The two larger textured rolling pins is from Jem Cutters and the smaller on is from Cuquis Design Inc. They have so many sweet designs so it is hard not to buy them all :-). In Europe you can get Cuquis Designs at CelCrafts.
On the pictures below you can see examples on what the embossing sticks and the textured rolling pins can do:

I've figured out the format of object UID's in my 2d game.
It will be like this:
struct uid{ int16_t n; //the nth object of a chunk of world int8_t cell_x; //coordinate of the chunk the object belongs to int8_t cell_y; };It would be nice if I can use it as a number:
union obj_uid{ int32_t id; struct uid parts; };However, if I remember correctly, that is undefined behaviour (write to one field and read from another).
Is there a portable way to treat "struct uid" as one integer, or should I just use "struct uid" as the sole type for uid?

Sia - Stop Trying (The Hair Kid Live PA Remix)
Also known as: THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THING YOU'LL SEE ALL DAY. Caps necessary, cause that's my beastly excitement and anxiousness to relay this information to you. A few minutes ago, I was all prepared to post up a video of Sia performing an acoustic take on Be Good to Me in Berlin recently. But in doing a bit of "net-digging", something so amazing trumped that bit. You can still revel in the beauty of that previous thought-about post here, but let's get straight away to this other piece o' heat!
Stop Trying is a fun sub-3 minute track from Sia's latest album, We Are Born. Poppy and prepped for hand claps and foot stomps, it's an instant favorite for everyone from the casual listener to the most dedicated fan (song can be heard here). Now...instead of stop "trying", please stop "listening" to the original, and move on to this.
The Hair Kid, from what I gather, is your regular dude form New Jersey, who "makes music with synthesizers and [my] tongue". But what's oh so not average about the kid, is his epic, funky, live remix of Sia's Stop Trying.
A recent upload to YouTube, THK set up a video camera, and proceeded to do a live mix of the song, adding his own verses throughout. The 7+ minute long fix has got me swooning like a fiend this morning, and hell if I haven't already watched and listened at least 5 times in full. There are more viewings to be had starting right now...join me, won't you?

I have a couple questions. Can queens be raised in the southwest US successfully? Or do people not do that much since there are so many AHB's? Is there a way to keep the AHB stock out of your queens?
I am raising some queens now to see how it works, but I imagine that the queen will find a AHB drone. I know that Glenn Apiaries managed to do it, while being in southern California.
One other question. Does it make a difference if I am at a higher elevation where the winters are much colder than LA? i.e. where it get into the 20'-30's at night and snows occasionally? I suspect that AHB's don't like the cold as much.
Thanks for any help/insights.

[Article]-Book Review: Hacking for Dummies 3rd Ed
Permanent link: [Article]-Book Review: Hacking for Dummies 3rd Ed
Review by Chris Jenks
Hacking for Dummies, an introduction to Ethical Hacking, is shallow enough for anyone first stepping into the field, but with tricks, tips and real-world experiences even the veteran penetration tester will find enlightening.
The book is considered to be a good introduction to the world of Ethical Hacking. Like all "for Dummies" books, the subject matter is explained in plain English instead of being filled with jargon and buzz words. That doesn't mean a reader can walk in cold and learn to be an Ethical Hacker (a hacker who is hacking with prior written permission of the owner of the systems). In order to get a deeper understanding, the reader has to have a basic understanding of Networking, System Administration, and Applications. The reader doesn't need to be an expert but really should have a firm grip on the basic concepts.
The current version of Hacking for Dummies is divided into 7 parts. If the reader is familiar with the subject the book doesn't need to be read in order and can be used mostly as reference. However, if the reader is new to information security the best approach would be to read it in the order the book is laid out. Each chapter has a tendency to either refer back to something that was covered before, or refers forward to something covered in more detail ahead.

It's all well and good saying "cut this guy" and "cut that guy", but who's going to replace these players?
Ditching Rolle would mean the team takes a hit of around $5 million. Keeping him will result in a $7 million hit. Are you really going to find an adequate replacement for around $2 million?
Some guys can be released fairly easily, others can't.
Hete are the approximate hits the team would take for releasing the following players:
Baas - $8.2 million
Rolle - $4.5 million
Canty - $2 million
Webster - $3 million
Diehl - $4 million
Boley - $1.6 million
Tuck - $1.6 million

Basic information
Body development at Audi – innovation, quality and precisionAudi is writing a new chapter in its successful history of lightweight design. For the coming generation of the Audi A8, an intelligent mix of four materials will be used in the body structure for the first time – more than in any of the brand's previous production models. The luxury sedan is thus once again rightfully claiming its role as an innovation driver in automotive lightweight design. A tradition that dates back to the year 1994, when the A8 with its aluminum unitary body in Audi Space Frame (ASF) design caused quite a sensation.
The pinnacle of sportiness – the Audi S8 plusAudi is breaking the 600-hp barrier in the full-size sedan segment. The new Audi S8 plus* produces 445 kW (605 hp) and delivers 700 Nm (516.3 lb ft) to the crankshaft. Overboost temporarily increases the latter to 750 Nm (553.2 lb ft). The large sports sedan sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.8 seconds. The electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph) can be optionally increased to 305 km/h (189.5 mph). *The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of all models named above and available on the German market can be found in the list in the last chapter of this basic information.
The sportiest premium sedan in the full-size class – the new Audi A8A multitude of high-end technologies, systematic lightweight construction and excellent comfort: Audi presents a thoroughly revised version of its successful A8 flagship. Its engines have become even more powerful and efficient; new assistance systems and the innovative Matrix LED headlights make for even more superior driving.

Representative unique specimen: Audi A8 L extendedAudi puts the customer first, however out of the ordinary their requirements may be. An example of this is the Audi A8*: at the request of a European customer the premium brand has built a first one-off version of the sedan in king-size format. Measuring 6.36 meters (20.9 ft) in length and with a wheelbase of 4.22 meters (13.8 ft), the A8 L extended* affords top-class comfort for passengers occupying all of its six seats. A concept that generates customer: Audi has further requests for the custom product already.
Audi at the Berlinale: piloted drive up to the red carpetIn a flurry of camera flashes at the Berlinale film festival, Audi reached another milestone on the path toward piloted driving. At the opening gala of the Berlin International Film Festival, a driverless Audi A8 L W12* drove up to the red carpet. On-board was movie star Daniel Brühl.
Audi A8 L Security: most secure Audi everAudi has once again further developed its armored high-security sedan. At the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt am Main, the premium brand is presenting the most secure Audi ever in the form of the A8 L Security. The car will satisfy the criteria of the class VR 9 ballistic protection standard, currently the most stringent requirements for civilian high-security sedans.

|ACS 2006-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Year Structure Built
The data on year structure built were obtained from Housing Question 2 in the 2006 American Community Survey. The question was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Year structure built refers to when the building was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. Housing units under construction are included as vacant housing if they meet the housing unit definition, that is, all exterior windows, doors, and final usable floors are in place. For mobile homes, houseboats, RVs, etc., the manufacturer's model year was assumed to be the year built. The data relate to the number of units built during the specified periods that were still in existence at the time of interview.
Median Year Structure Built
Median year structure built divides the distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median year structure built and one-half above the median. Median year structure built is computed on the basis of a standard distribution (See the "Standard Distributions" section under "Derived Measures.") The median is rounded to the nearest calendar year. Median age of housing can be obtained by subtracting median year structure built from survey year. For example, if the median year structure built is 1968, the median age of housing in that area is 40 years (2006 minus 1968). (For more information on medians, see "Derived Measures.")
Limitation of the Data
Data on year structure built are more susceptible to errors of response and non-reporting than data for many other questions because respondents must rely on their memory or on estimates by people who have lived in the neighborhood a long time.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey question provided a write-in space for the respondent to enter a year. Since 1999, the question provided 9 pre-coded response categories which showed ranges of years. The response categories were updated starting in 2003 to provide detail for recently built structures.

A 42-year-old Sulphur man is facing multiple charges after allegedly breaking into a home and assaulting his ex-girlfriend, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said John C. West, 367 La. 108 West, was arrested Thursday and charged with home invasion, domestic abuse battery with child endangerment, criminal damage to property and theft under $500.
"On Wednesday, deputies were called to a home in Sulphur after West allegedly beat on the front door of the victim's home with a baseball bat and kicked the door off of the hinges," Myers said Friday in a news release. "West then went into a bedroom and used the bat to hit the bed where the victim and a 3-year-old family member were sitting.
After grabbing the victim by the hair and pulling her to the floor, West grabbed a purse and fled before deputies arrived."
Judge David Ritchie set West's bond at $120,000.
Detective Glenn Lowery was the lead investigator.

"This was the hardest thing to do. I actually have a Pampered Chief checkerboard cake pans and seperator so I used those to build the cake. The ice cream was melting before I was half-way finished with one circle. So I ended up getting a gallon bag and put ice in it. Then put the bag on my granite counter top and put the pan on top to try and keep it cold. So the cake turned out ok - but I wanted to cover the cake with a ganache instead of cookies - just like the icre cream cakes in the stores. What a mess! I don't think I let the ganache cool down enough before pouring it on the ice cream. It was like watching Frosty the Snowman melt. :(So I may try this again - but I am going to have to come up with a better way to keep the ice cream from melting during the building stage."

you should keep in mind that only the bad guy aliens were subtitled, chewie and other non-english speaking aliens were not. also, the story had plenty of humans around speaking english for the viewer to follow along. since it appears your film doesn't have any humans doing all the dialogue in english isn't a bad thing, with good voice actors think of it as simply being dubbed over. keep in mind that your film has a very alien visual style, if your target audience is primarily english speaking you'll be turning a lot of people off by having nothing for them to understand. i understand you want to use subtitles, but those would distract from the wonderful visuals you've created. i suggest using subtitles and the alien dialogue as an alternate language track.

The First World Hotel in the Genting Highlands roughly 50 kilometers northeast of Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur, boasts 7351 rooms, which makes this three-star hotel the largest in the world. Not for long, though: Abraj Kudai in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is poised to overtake. The mega hotel is due to open with 10 000 rooms this year.
Sunset Boulevard, the heart of Hollywood, can be over the top – but pockets of normality exist. The Gwen serves meaty dishes and has an in-house butcher shop. The new restaurant seats 80 diners; the decor is muted and the atmosphere, relaxed.

The Tuschinski Theater in Amsterdam with its art-deco facade of glazed tiles, ceramic sculptures and wrought-iron grids and lamps, is one of the most spectacular cinemas in the world. Built shortly after World War I by Polish immigrant Abraham Tuschinski, the main auditorium had an astonishing 1600 seats. Happily, it has survived unscathed and is now owned by film distributor Pathé.
A stroll through loud, buzzing Marrakesh may leave you yearning for a peaceful spot. Welcome to Riad Yasmine, a boutique hotel in the old city, with seven rooms and suites and a rooftop terrace with a great view over the "Red City."


text: I was wondering if anyone has ever done an HID conversion on a 1989 Chevy K2500 with dual headlamps? I want to get HIDs but don't know what I need to do. On my old car, I just had to plug my HIDs into the existing lense and I was good, but I know I can't do that on my truck. Any help would be appreciated!

21 arrested in Tazewell County drug roundup
TAZEWELL COUNTY, Va. - A county-wide drug sting in southwest Virginia led to nearly two dozen arrests and several charges in Tazewell County. Click here to see a complete list of those charged and their mugshots.
We caught up with authorities in Tazewell and learned some of the people arrested were familiar faces believed to be selling drugs in the community.
There's an ongoing battle against drugs in Tazewell County, from Pocahontas to Bluefield to Cedar Bluff. "It's everywhere. It not only affects people on drugs, it affects people not on drugs," said resident Christina Hankins.
But a recent sweep through the county by the Drug Task Force nabbed a total of 21 people on various drug charges. "We're working. We've got undercover people working. You can and will get caught," said Sheriff Brian Hieatt.
We learned the top two drugs on the streets in southwest Virginia are Oxycodone and Hydrocodone, two of the drugs found in this four-month investigation.
But another discovery was synthetic marijuana, some of which was being sold at a local business. "Unfortunately we have some individuals and business owners who have saw fit to traffic [synthetic drugs]," said Commonwealth's Attorney Dennis Lee.
Lee says these individuals could face between five to 40 years on each charge.
But officials say what makes this roundup more important was that the task force was able to work their way into smaller communities. "Quite often evidence against the defendant is overwhelming but it is a challenge," added Lee.
While drugs may always be a fight, investigators say tips from the community are instrumental to their success.
Residents say this recent sweep is good news. "I just hope they get the right ones so they can stop it," said resident Debbie Teets.
We've learned two people are still wanted by the Tazewell County Drug Task Force.

First Test: 2011 Aston Martin DBSLuxotic Hits the Sweet SpotThe 2011 Aston Martin DBS is a unique machine. It's not quite a pure exotic, and it's not quite a pure luxury car. It's a hybrid of the two -- a luxotic, if you will. And, aside from a few quibbles, the DBS pulls it off.Propelling the DBS is the same 5.9-liter V-12 as in the DB9, but with 40 more horsepower, for a total of 510. It is a difficult vehicle to launch while testing. With its ultra-quick-revving engine; a clutch that seems to lock up almost instantly; and good, but not great tires, it takes patience to avoid completely roasting the rear tires. We managed to get to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and clocked 12.4 seconds at 117.4 mph in the quarter. The DBS comes standard with carbon ceramic brakes, so stopping from 60-0 requires just 107 feet, very respectable for a car weighing more than 3800 pounds. The DBS came alive on our figure-eight course. "This car's handling and behavior is expertly resolved; all of its motions suggest a smaller, well-balanced car; grip is great; but it's how nicely the car turns-in and how playful it is in the corners that impresses me," said testing director Kim Reynolds.

Truly beautiful. Keep up the beautiful work.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Truly beautiful. Keep up the beautiful work.
SPECTACULAR--So much better than bias tape. How fine was your leading yarn? I am thinking baby yarn.
What an inspiration! I did stained glass many years ago and can relate to your description. You've done a fantastic job of duplicating the effect in fabric. Just a question, did you use "binding" in the purple outer area? and around the flower?
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
A stunning work of art you have created.
I love your description of your technique to create it.
oh my goodness - that is out of this world beautiful!!
OMGosh that is absolutely stunning!!! I too used to make real stained glass windows many years ago and your technique you used on this quilt really does give it a realistic look. This quilt is just awesome. Great job!!
Unbelievable! So beautiful. It gives me goosebumps!!! :thumbup:
Beautiful job! I love your use of colors for shading, nice work! :thumbup:

Well this is the end of my first year of beekeeping, and what a blast it has been. Winter set it *eyes the rain outside* and I'm getting a bit restless with nothing bee related to do. So I decided that I wanted to go ahead and build a TBH. I've spend the morning reading through this forum and I've found many interesting and helpful things.
On the main page one of the plans listed by topbarguy is http://www.beesource.com/eob/althive/murrell/index.htm .
Since TBH's seem to be in a constant state of evolution I was wondering if those were still good plans to follow. I've read on topbarguys webpage that he has changed many things (two new versions of the hive) and some new topbars but nonetheless those plans are still posted on the main page.
EDIT: Eh, just incase this is helpful: I live in northern california (Humboldt County). It doesn't snow here and seldom freezes. Didn't want to give you the wrong impression when I said Winter, because we don't really have that here. We have rain and sun.
Thanks again

text: Our Back to Basics department is extremely popular. I think one reason why is all of us recognize the value of describing something simply, getting to the root of the problem, and applying basic principles to complex problems. But are we consistently visiting our basic principles? How often does a problem seem to take on a life of its own? How often does a problem reach catastrophic levels because
