No. 17 Auburn looks to keep its momentum from last week's big win at Texas A&M when it hosts nonconference foe Florida Atlantic Saturday. The Tigers defeated the Aggies on the road, winning their third straight and putting themselves No. 11 in the first BCS rankings. The Owls come into the game off a bye week following one-point loss at home to Marshall.
The game will feature two dangerous quarterbacks in Auburn's Nick Marshall and Florida Atlantic's Jaquez Johnson. Both players can do damage through the air and on the ground. The Tigers were able to hold A&M's Johnny Manziel to 48 yards rushing and sacked him three times, so they're prepared for a dual-threat signal-caller.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN3. LINE: Auburn -23.5.
ABOUT FLORIDA ATLANTIC (2-5): Owls coach Carl Pelini was worried about his team keeping fresh during the bye week, so he made sure to have a full-speed scrimmage at a practice. "The most important thing we get out of these days is full-speed work," Pelini told the Palm Beach Post. "You don't want to go two weeks between playing full speed." Despite some early sluggishness after three days off, Pelini was pleased with the workout and hopes it helps when the Owls hit the field against the Tigers.
ABOUT AUBURN (6-1): After last week's win over Texas A&M put Auburn in control of its own destiny in the SEC West, many see the Tigers as potential national-championship contenders. But Auburn coach Gus Malzahn has his team focused on what's ahead, as in this week's game, rather than the big picture. "The only thing we talked about is this week and Florida Atlantic," Malzahn said at his weekly news conference. "We're not talking about anything else or thinking about anything else. We're going to keep the same approach."
1. Johnson has been hot of late, with 807 passing yards, 217 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns over his last three games.
2. Marshall became only the second Tigers signal-caller to rush and pass for two or more scores in the same game last week, joining Cam Newton in that exclusive club.
3. The Tigers won the only previous meeting between the two schools, a 30-14 decision in 2011.
PREDICTION: Auburn 45, Florida Atlantic 14

As you mention, all children (yes, even siblings!) develop and refine their language skills at different times throughout their development, so the range of what's "normal" is broad. However, some guidelines can help parents decide if their child might be at the latter end of the spectrum.
A typical 2-year-old should:
Between 2 and 3 years, vocabulary continues to build and comprehension also increases. By 3 years of age, a child should:

Headphone maker 'Beats' marketing rules at Olympics
File this one under M.W.A.: Marketers with attitude.
Organizers of the 2012 London Olympics are peeved at Beats Electronics, makers of the headphones that are ubiquitous in major U.S. cities, according to The Guardian and other British publications. Without the company ponying up the money to become an official sponsor of the games, Beats' headphones still managed to find their way onto the ears of Olympic athletes, who during the games are some of the most watched people on the planet.

Five years ago, veteran comic book artist Joe Kubert visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. He expected to be moved, but since he and his parents had escaped from Poland before the Nazi genocide began, he assumed his emotional reaction would be relatively contained. Then, he saw something that struck him profoundly: "Yzeran," the name of the shtetl where he had been born, etched on a wall filled with names of towns that had been completely obliterated in World War II.
This one word began a creative odyssey that found its completion this month, with the publication of "Yossel -- April 19, 1943," Kubert's graphic novel about Jewish resistance during the Holocaust -- artistic, as well as physical -- with the date in the subtitle referring to the start of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.

Comments about REI InCamp 4 Tent:
WE REALLY LOVE THIS TENT. Here is why:
Girlfriend wanted a roomy tent to enjoy easy car camping. This tent fulfilled her dreams: Roomy for two or three, or a couple with two kids, a little tight for four adults with gear. Tent is SO EASY to set up that she, a rank beginner, set it up alone. About 10 mins with my help.
We got it on early-season sale for under $200.
Five-foot tall interior allows for less crouching than many we tried. This really matters on long road trips.
The fly can be multi-configured for comfort and coverage.
Door is HUGE, allowing entry L or R, or both for easy walk-in through the lifted 'lip' design.
Black mesh covers tent ceiling, for excellent stargazing.
Door has opaque material 2/3 way up (as does entire tent) so privacy is assured while changing when fly is off. This is an often-overlooked yet excellent feature that my girlfriend REALLY appreciates. (She happy=Me happy!)
Addition of two hiking or ski poles into fly door grommets allows for safari-style covered entrance. Fly door can be rolled up on one or both sides for easy variations, yet still allows for covered vestibule.
Really good guy points, breathability and very sturdy, though kinda blunt aluminum chiseled stakes. (I re-ground mine into dull round points. Black mesh runs easy so take care of it when packing.
Orange guy lines highly visible. Comes with extra guy lines and a pole-repair sleeve.
Carry bag is generously-sized, allowing for extra items to be kept with tent. (we pack a foot wiping towel, mini whisk broom, vestibule groundcloth and even 1/3 of a discarded yoga mat for comfortable kneeling once inside!)
Tent is about 8' square.
(really) MINOR GRIPES:
Tent does NOT come with ground footprint, but is absolutely recommended to protect floor. Figure it into your purchase or get a 10x12 tarp for $10 and learn to fit it under the tent every time.
Four generous interior mesh pockets at front corners, not back where we much prefer them. No biggie.
Tent could benefit from an extra stake point on mid-length of rear edge. That is floppy no matter how tightly staked.
Tent can collect rainwater behind "lip" at front, so best to punch it off before exiting to prevent roll-off. Again, no biggie!
Tent base is just a tad rectangular, so fitting g round footprint can be confusing: Remedy is to take a Sharpie and mark the FRONT and which side goes up as the coated side is not easy to recognize.
Fly could use some window material high up on front side to observe campsite once zippered in for the night.

Comments about REI InCamp 4 Tent:
It was a rainy afternoon were we camp. We went to the beach and when we came back our tent was literally underwater but to our surprise the inside was all dry. It was so easy to set-up and can be done in 10 minutes by one person.
Best Uses
Comments about REI InCamp 4 Tent:
After spending ten days camping in Colorado's surprisingly strong monsoon this year (eight days of strong rain), I can report that this tent has a design flaw. Above the door on top of the rain fly, water pooled continuously. I adjusted the rain fly as much as I could, but could not stop it from pooling. There seems to be an easy fix in the design: instead of the rain fly dropping down and then rising to the door (the iconic design of this tent), if the rain fly was sewn with a "ridge" from the top of the tent to the top of the door, water would just roll of as if from a duck's back.
Other than this, I loved the tent, especially when paired with the Alcove. I didn't like the InCamp shelter as it is too enclosed.
Unfortunately, the pooling is a deal breaker and I will be returning it to REI.
Best Uses
Comments about REI InCamp 4 Tent:
This is a great tent for car camping, but would be way too heavy and bulky for any other use. The construction is adequate, but requires the use of stakes to tighten the floor completely; the poles do not do it by themselves as has been the case with most tents I've used.
The awning is a good idea in principle, but since the poles need to be staked with guylines, there's no way you'd want to undo it every night and re-attach the lines in the morning. If you leave the awning up, you're completely exposed. I had been hoping to use the awning, but ended up not using it at all once I realized how much work it was going to be, and that people would just end up tripping over the lines anyway.
Other than the issues above, I really like it. It's big and roomy, and swallows my 4' x 6' crashpad with ease. I've used it on two multi-day trips so far this year, and am very happy with it.
Best Uses
Comments about REI InCamp 4 Tent:
Background: I purchased this tent to use for two music festivals this summer. I also purchased the two additional REI Adjustable Tarp Poles, and some additional guyline, with the intention of creating the awning pictured and described.
While all-in-all the tent was okay (quick and easy to put up, and made of quality materials), in my opinion it has four significant flaws (all three are somewhat related).
1. The door does not have an opaque piece of material to zip over the window.
2. If you create the awning, you are always exposed inside the tent, since the door window is see-through mesh. (You're not going to want to take the awning up and down since the poles need to be rigged up with guylines that need to be staked to the ground.)
3. If you do not stake up the awning, there is always a second piece of material (the rain fly) in front of the door. This means you need to dual zip in and out each time you need to get in, which gets annoying quickly.
4. There are no windows inside the tent that can be zipped open and closed as needed to observe your surroundings. Therefore, you must unzip both the door and the rain fly and then push the fly out of the way to see what is going on outside.
The tent was otherwise satisfactory, but I'll be returning it due to the strange window/rain fly design.

Comments about REI InCamp 4 Tent:
Use for car camping with two girls, 8 & 6 yrs old. We can set it up and break it down pretty quickly, plenty of room for 3, possibly 4 but tighter. Fits the bill for 2-4 people, light, quick, easy.

Comments about REI InCamp 4 Tent:
Just got this yesterday and immediately set it up...in my living room. It's a lot bigger than it looks on the website. It easily swallowed my king-size air mattress. I have to say that as a 51-year-old who has been camping all his life, this is the epitome of easy set-ups. There's just three poles, and they are shock-corded together so there's no question about putting them together. Only one of them has to go through a channel. The other two just poke into grommets and you clip the tent to the pole. Easy 5 minute set-up with one person. The fly was just as easy, only problem is getting it oriented properly, which isn't that hard if you look for the end with the zipper and put that by the door. I bought this tent because of its wide front door and amazing amount of ventilation. The only cons I would give it: 1. It's not tall enough for me to stand up in; 2. There was lots of thread and little pieces of fabric left inside. I can't vouch for its waterproofing yet, but wanted to get a review out so others can see this is a nice little tent. A few more pros: 1. I like the two interior pockets and the hang loop, amazing they make tents without these; 2. It comes with a nice bag that actually holds everything.; 3. I like the way the fly door turns into an awning...you will need to buy not only the adjustable tarp stakes, but also something to use as a guy line, these aren't included. Also be sure you get the 6 foot poles, I messed up on this and ordered 8-footers, they don't adjust down enough. 4. The view with the fly off is amazing. Can't wait to get this outdoors.
Service and delivery comments:
This was shipped in a timely manner, couldn't believe how quickly it arrived after getting the e-mail notice which I also appreciate. When it showed up, however, one end of the box was crushed. Nothing inside was harmed, but UPS really did a number on this one!

Of course, everybody in Southeast Texas knows Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson, the two most beloved hosts in all of Swedish TV. Well, for the next three months, Fil and Freddy will be criss-crossing America in search of the "most extraordinary, likeable and offbeat person (and the 99 that were pretty damn close.)"
Why? Because apparently there aren't 100 Swedes who are weird enough.
This week, Fil and Freddy dropped us an email asking for suggestions of Southeast Texans they might like to meet. My first impulse was to mail them a Beaumont phonebook. But then in a rare burst of brilliance — my typical brilliance is more of an ooze — I thought, "Gator, buddy, you have a thousand readers every day who can do your work for you!"
My personal favorite oddball is Admiral Dingy (pictured), a part-time dance teacher in Bridge City who announced his around-the-world voyage in a coffin-sized "cruise ship" from Beaumont last year with great fanfare and fooferaw. It would be only the second voyage of the Cruise Ship Dingy, which capsized on its maiden voyage 24 years before. Its shake-down cruise would also coincide with the Admiral going cold-turkey on his 10-pack-a-day cigarette jones. How intrepid was the Admiral? His ship didn't even have room for food. That's serious.
Alas, the SS Dingy ultimately wasn't seaworthy and never sailed. "I really feel bad that I didn't get into the water," the land-locked Admiral said at the time, "but I'm not stupid."
That's my candidate. Who's yours? If you know a Southeast Texan who's extraordinarily offbeat and has actually survived his wacky dreams or skills, you can make your case here or by emailing Fil and Freddy.
And lock up the place when you're done, huh? I don't want the boss to know you did all the work.

OverviewThis project replaced a bridge span over eastbound I-90 that was damaged beyond repair by an over-sized truck load on October 31, 2007. The collision forced the closure of the I-90 eastbound lanes and traffic was detoured onto the Easton interchange ramps. WSDOT and the emergency contractor demolished the damaged bridge section and re-opened the eastbound lanes of I-90 within 24 hours of the collision. Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond challenged WSDOT engineers to "get creative – get this bridge replaced as quickly and effectively as possible." WSDOT met the challenge and opened the repaired bridge on December 15, within 45 days, facing many obstacles including freezing temperatures, snow storms, and extra traffic on I-90 due to travelers trying to avoid the flooding on I-5 in Chehalis.
Partnerships & Cooperation WSDOT held an open house in Easton to inform the public and share information on how this project will move forward. Residents had the opportunity to ask questions and share their input. Attendees were excited to hear this project was moving forward so quickly.
Because of the importance of restoring the functionality of this interchange to the community, we used emergency contracting procedures. WSDOT will seek compensation from the insurance agency representing the trucking company held liable for the collision. Total Funding Available: Approximately $525,000

text: I know this might be a little bit funny question. But how can you determine the current that will used up as well as the power rating, when you a designing a power supply unit for a device. Because usually, I will always know the voltage, say 5V, but how can I calculate the current the device will use up.

Grass fed beef provides a memorable eating experience that has been earning growing acclaim among chefs and food writers across the country.
It offers a savory, "beefier" taste, and is tender and juicy when prepared properly (see notes on preparation below).
Studies show that grass fed beef is higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, and Vitamin E than conventional grain fed beef. Grass fed beef is recommended by the authors of both "The Omega-3 Diet" and "The Paleo Diet", as well as a growing number of physicians:
For some time, I have recommended grass fed beef as a key part of my patients' diets, part of a holistic integrative plan for vibrant health. I am convinced this is not a fad or a "sounds-good" notion. There are mounting peer reviewed scientific studies on the chemical composition of fats essential for human health, and how they are altered negatively in corn and grain fed beef and positively in grass fed beef. I am also encouraged by the significant benefits to food safety (including reduced E. coli) of a 100% grass fed diet and proper processing. Furthermore, as grass fed cattle require no antibiotics to stay healthy, unlike grain fed cattle, they do not become links in a food chain fostering antibiotic resistant bacteria. In summary 100% Grass Fed Beef is an essential menu item for the diet I prescribe.
Dr. Chris Foley, MD Minnesota Natural Medicine, Vadnais Heights Clinical faculty, University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy and Medical School More info: www.minnesotanaturalmedicine.com
Because our cattle are not fed corn and grains to speed growth, are not confined and get plenty of exercise, their meat has less fat marbling. But, the fats present are extremely nutritious when cooked "low and slow". Happily, that's also the best way to preserve the moistness and tenderness—in burgers, steaks and roasts. So, take a little more time to relax and enjoy—while cooking and eating our beef.
When we discovered we couldn't find fresh grass fed beef close to our home in Cannon Falls, MN, we decided to provide it.

White Texas Sheet Cake Recipe
This cake gets better the longer it sits, so I try to make it a day ahead. My mother-in-law introduced this deliciously rich cake to me. With its creamy frosting and light almond flavor, no one can stop at just one piece!
- 1 cup butter, cubed
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- In a large saucepan, bring butter and water just to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat; stir in the flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream, salt, baking powder, extract and baking soda until smooth.
- Pour into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
- For frosting, in a large saucepan, bring butter and milk just to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat; stir in confectioners' sugar and extract. Stir in walnuts; spread over warm cake. Cool completely. Yield: 20 servings.

This was quite good, not as moist as i would like but the flavor was very good! I did make it twice and added an extra egg the second time, which helped with the moistness.
Reviewed Nov. 17, 2013
absolutely fantastic, and although I have almond extract I keep vanilla on the counter, so I used that instead. I was almost out of powdered sugar, so it wasn't as sweet a frosting as it could have been, which allowed me to have a taste. That was super exciting. Can't wait to bring it to work. The leaving it out overnight, is really a good tip. It does get better the longer it sits.

It is fabulous.

More quote details and news » 's holiday sales fell less than expected because of relatively strong results in the U.S., but the electronics retailer warned on Friday that its free cash flow continues to dwindle, potentially complicating a bid by its founder to take the company private.
Investors rewarded the first hint that new management is stabilizing sales, pushing its shares up 16.4% to $14.21 on the New York Stock Exchange, its largest one-day percentage gain in more than four years.
Still, Wall Street analysts were split on whether the results would ultimately help or hurt a campaign by Best Buy's founder, Richard Schulze, to take the company private with help from private equity investors.
Flat U.S. holiday sales cushioned an overall decline. Above, a shopper at a Best Buy in Kentucky in November. Associated Press
Some analysts said healthy cash flow, which is needed to pay down debt, is a key element in the success of a leveraged buyout. Anthony Chukumba of BB&T Capital Markets said a bank or private-equity firm will have greater difficulty committing hundreds of millions, if not billions, to a Best Buy LBO amid weaker free cash flow.

More quote details and news » said the lower cash flow may be offset by the better same-store sales, which may help Mr. Schulze convince prospective private equity partners that the business can turn around. In a note to clients, she maintained her 20% probability that Mr. Schulze's bid succeeds.
Mr. Schulze, who owns about a fifth of Best Buy's shares, is expected to make an offer in February. His spokesman declined to comment.
For November and December the company reported flat sales at U.S. stores open at least 14 months. That is better than analysts had expected given that Best Buy's quarterly U.S. comparable sales fell for most of the last three years. The U.S. results helped offset a sharp 6.4% drop in international sales.
The Richfield, Minn.-based retailer said its U.S. business was bolstered by sales of mobile phones, tablets, ereaders, and appliances, while entertainment, televisions and computing declined. Outside the U.S., weakness in Canada and China drove a same-store-sales decline.
As it attempts to turn itself around, Best Buy has been focusing on the U.S., which accounts for the majority of its revenue and is where it faces its biggest challenges. It is contending with lower prices and skinnier profit margins on once-hot sellers such as flat-screen televisions, and faces intense competition from Web rivals with lower prices.
Chief Executive Hubert Joly cited a better array of products, increased employee training and a policy of matching competitors' online prices as major factors in the company's holiday performance.
The company, scheduled to report fourth-quarter earnings at the end of February, reduced its forecast for annual free cash flow to $500 million, after cutting it to a range of $850 million to $1.05 billion in November.
Best Buy attributed the lowered estimate to earlier-than-expected inventory payments and a shift in sales mix to quick-selling merchandise that carry shorter payment terms.
Analysts predict that aggressive promotions and price matching will depress profitability in its fiscal fourth quarter ending Feb. 2, but the retailer said its margin levels are consistent with expectations it set in November.
Elsewhere, signs pointed to a limp market for consumer electronics as a whole. Data from market researcher NPD found a 7% December decline in consumer-electronics sales, following a 1% retail sales drop from Census Bureau data, likely held aloft by strong—but deeply promotional—Thanksgiving weekend business.

Live-blogging the Games Media Awards!
Live from the Jongleurs Comedy Club in London's Camden Lock. The British games media industry is currently drunk. See what happens when some of them get awarded for writing about videogames. After the break. We're using CoverItLive, so there's no need to refresh.

Live from London's Games Media Awards 2008 tonight
We'll be live-blogging tonight's Game Media Awards in London, just so you don't miss any of the "action."
We're up for two – "Games Website" and "Specialist Games Writer – ONLINE" – which means we sort of have to go, and seeing as we're there we thought we might as well bring you the blow-by-blow account of us not winning either.
Find all the categories and the nominations after the break. Not sure exactly when it's going to start. There's a pre-show drinks thing at 7.00pm BST, so we reckon you should keep an eye on the site from 8.00pm onwards.

GMA nominees announced, VG247 up for two
We fucking rule. We've been nominated for two Game Media Awards, as you can see on MCV. We're up for Specialist Games Writer and Games Website, which is pleasant.
The awards show itself takes place on October 16 at Jongleurs Comedy Club in Camden. The double acceptance speech has been ready for months, obviously.
Thu, Jul 03, 2008 | 15:11 BST
The year's Game Media Awards head to Camden
MCV's posted up details of this year's Game Media Awards, to be held this year at the Jongleurs Comedy Club in Camden, London. The inaugural GMAs was held last year. From the site:
This time, the voting panel will be MCV's entire readership. In other words, the UK video games industry. There will also be fewer awards in total – a move designed to ratchet up the prestige attached to each one.
The Games Media Awards are being backed by five Gold Sponsors: Microsoft, Nintendo, Activision, Codemasters and Electronic Arts. All recognise the importance of specialist, mainstream, print and digital media – and the value of rewarding the best in their particular field.
Categories are to be announced shortly, and voting will take place through August and September.

Howard is being inducted tonight. What happened to Craig s Hall Of Fame?
They must not be listening to him recently. They would never let him in now.
Fuck Howard. He should be inducted into the Hall of Fame for Pissing on the Fans. Fuck him.
It's a fucking joke just like the Rock N Roll Hall of fame. Steve Dahl who invented "shock radio" isn't even in there.
Howard's such a hypocrite he'll probably do a complete reversal and brag about receiving the award. A couple of weeks ago he was all excited about being named the #1 TV Judge in some obscure poll, even though it was obviously bullshit because Nicki Minaj was ranked #8 and her show hadn't even aired yet.

Washington County Sheriff's detective Nate Abbott said the woman and a man were driving in rural Washington County when their car got stuck Tuesday night during the storm that hit the Rocky Mountain region.
He said the pair started walking for help, but the woman couldn't go any farther and sought shelter while the man continued on.
He eventually took refuge close to a reservoir and stayed there until morning when he located some snowmobilers.
Search and rescue crews who used snowmobiles to look for the woman found her dead in the snow, a few miles from the car.
An autopsy was ordered.
The woman's name wasn't immediately released.

Samantha Lewthwaite was a shy 11-year-old schoolgirl growing up in the Home Counties when she first developed a crush on a Muslim boy.
The boy, who was several years older, was apparently uninterested and so nothing came of it, but the brief summer holiday infatuation in Buckinghamshire perhaps foreshadowed her conversion to Islam, marriage to a suicide bomber and eventual emergence as one of the world's most wanted terrorism suspects.
Lewthwaite, now 29, was at first portrayed as another victim of the July 7 London bombings when her 19-year-old husband, Germaine Lindsay, killed himself and 26 passengers on a Tube train near King's Cross station in 2005.
However, seven years later she was dramatically identified as a suspected member of a terrorist cell that planned to attack the Kenyan port city of Mombasa. Her alleged involvement earned her the nickname the "White Widow", a play on the practice of referring to female suicide bombers as "black widows".
She has since been linked to other plots in East Africa, culminating in reports that she was involved in — and perhaps even led — the al-Qaida-linked assault on the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi.
Lewthwaite's former friends in the Buckinghamshire market town of Aylesbury, where she grew up, expressed shock and disbelief Tuesday that the quiet, "nice girl" they knew as a child could have carried out such a massacre.
Her father, an English soldier called Andy Lewthwaite, met her mother, an Irish Catholic called Christine Allen, while he was serving in Northern Ireland during the Seventies. Lewthwaite was born in Banbridge in County Down, Northern Ireland, in 1983 and the family moved to Aylesbury when she was young.
She was remembered as a bright and popular pupil at Elmhurst primary school and The Grange secondary school, although after her parents split up in the early Nineties she became more withdrawn and started confiding in a local Muslim family.
One childhood friend said Lewthwaite spent a couple of summers when she was 11 and 12 "hanging out" with a mixed group of Muslim and white children at Alfred Rose Memorial Park in Aylesbury.
The Muslim man, who did not want to be named, said: "She had a little bit of a crush on my mate, who was three or four years older than her — it's normal at that age. My mate wasn't interested. I can't say she had extreme views about anything, and she wasn't Muslim at that time."
Although born a Christian, Lewthwaite became more and more interested in Islam. She converted aged 15 and changed her name to Sherafiyah. In a sign of how seriously she took her new religion, she began wearing the hijab face veil and full-length robes, covering every part of her body apart from her eyes.
A classmate from primary school, who asked to remain anonymous, said he often saw her shopping in Tesco in a hijab with a couple of other white women who had also converted to Islam.
"She was a quiet, calm and normal girl. Nobody ever had any problems with her," he said.
Lewthwaite enrolled in a degree course in politics and the study of religions at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London in 2002, although she dropped out before completing it. She first made contact with Lindsay, also known by his Islamic name, Jamal, in an Internet chat room and they met face-to-face at a Stop The War march in London.
They married in October 2002, moved to Aylesbury in September 2003, and had a son in April 2004. Lewthwaite was heavily pregnant with their second child when her husband blew himself up.
She said at the time: "I totally condemn and am horrified by the atrocities. I never predicted or imagined that he was involved in such horrific activities. He was a loving husband and father."
Another former schoolmate of Lewthwaite said he was not altogether surprised when Lindsay became a terrorist but could not believe that she would have followed him. He said: "When Jamal first came to the town, I used to do a lot of training with him — he used to do a lot of boxing. He wasn't right in the head. He always had a violent streak to him.
"But she was all right. She was just a normal girl, I never really thought there was anything unusual about her. I can't believe she could be involved in this."
Lewthwaite and her children were forced to go into hiding after the July 7 attacks when their home was firebombed. She lost touch with her family and is believed to have moved to the Midlands, where she remarried a Muslim of Moroccan origin.
In 2009 she returned to Aylesbury to give birth to her third child, but did not make contact with her family. That same year she disappeared with her three children and only resurfaced in 2011 after travelling to Kenya on a false passport.
Her parents in Aylesbury were too upset yesterday to speak about how their daughter had come to be linked to the atrocity in Nairobi.
Lewthwaite's frail 85-year-old grandmother, Elizabeth Allen, who still lives in Banbridge, has been given a panic alarm to alert the security services in case her granddaughter contacts her.
Family friends said the pressure had taken its toll on Allen's health, and the shock of the latest claims caused her to be taken to hospital.

The perfect starting point for LEGO creations! This green baseplate measures 10" x 10", so it's a great place to start building castles, skyscrapers, or what ever your imagination comes up with.To be able to understand why LEGO has been successful for so long, just look to the name. LEGO originally got its name from founder Ole Kirk Christiansen by combining the Danish words "Leg Got" that means "play well" and later realized that the word LEGO in Latin translates to "I put together." The LEGO set became a standard of creative play for children around the world, unlocking the creativity to build vehicles, buildings, cities and more. Most historians point to the invention of the wheel as a major turning point in world history. The invention of the LEGO wheel had the same monumental effect in the history of LEGO, making it possible to create cars, trucks and eventually the LEGO train building set that is one of the most successful LEGO sets of all time. LEGO innovation continues to this day with product lines like DUPLO that was created in 1969 for smaller hands and still thrives. Movie tie-ins, such as LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Indiana Jones Adventures and LEGO SpongeBob are some of the most popular sets. The Sci-Fi LEGO Bionicle sets have a huge following but the number one selling LEGO set of all time is The LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System. Over 1 million of these sets were sold around the world. In 2009 LEGO introduces the next generation LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0! LEGO currently produces about 20 billion LEGO bricks a year and has sold over 400 billion LEGOs in their history -- enough for every person on the planet to have over 60 LEGOs each!

I like Lego base plates a lot. I have a large table in my room to use them on. I just wish that Lego would make more kinds of them. Yes, we DO need regular green, blue and grey ones, but what about dark green, sand color, and other interesting colors. Also, do they all need to be flat? What about hills, valleys, mountains and rivers? Doesn't Lego get that kids like to make stories? We could do that much more efficiently with hills and mountains then with plain, flat base plates. I have a friend who has TONS of the nice, hilly base plates that Lego used to make. Where are they now? Anyway, if you'd like the same thing as I do and want Lego to make INTERESTING plates, please click the 'like' button at the bottom of the review. Brocktree1234, asking Lego for better base plates.

Almost everyone who has Lego needs a baseplate. It's pretty essential to anyone's collection. It's good for the bottom of houses, buildings, and other creations but by itself it's useless. It's also quite overpriced. I'd only get this if you really want/need it.

Smaller than I expected
By joeyed14
from Undisclosed
After reading the reviews, I was really looking forward to getting this but I was a little disappointed with its size. I did expect it to be larger. All the same, it absolutely does the job and is certainly an essential piece of kit to have. I mark it down on value for money because it is quite small for the amount I paid considering it is a relatively basic item.
A Brick's Brick

Very Difficult to Build
By CloneMarshalCommanderCody
The title is a joke. This is just one piece. In itself, it has no playability, but you can build nearly anything on it. I used it as the base plate for my Endor diorama. It really works well. Keep in mind that you can only stick stuff to the top side of it, not the underside though.

The green baseplates are great. If you're planning on making a brick fil you'll need one to stand it up. Truely guys baseplates help you organize your lego sets better. It also makes it easier to transfer to different places. I'll be buying these for the rest of my life! Huge Pro Lego Fans and animaters will need these for there legos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Already have four, but not enough!
By legostarwarsguy48
from South Riding
I got my first one when I was about Six or Seven and I couldn't stop building on the dang thing! I had trouble deciding if I wanted to keep the house or build a smaller one with a driveway. Eventually, my parent's 15th anniversary came along and I sacrificed my only in tact baseplate, then two years later I got three more and started building and offroad map for my big V8 SUVs and trucks. You can easily put these under a good 10 pounds of anything in a Tupperware and not have to worry about anything snapping. Just get this, believe me when I say that!
Large is really the normal baseplate
By Grandma
from Harrison, AR
My Grandkids use this product to build their own creations. I was needing a bigger green plate for them but only received the normal size.I've got the gray large base plate. It's a little flimsy but just have to stabilize it by putting tiles on the bottom. Can they be made a little thicker so they don't bend so easily? Also, is there a green plate that is as large as the gray one? (not including the DUPLO product).

The Just Togs Mizz Varna girl's jodhpurs are extremely comfortable with a soft wide waist band which sits slightly higher on the waist and can be adjusted with a draw cord. The Mizz Varna jodphurs are fashionable and extremely practical. The ribbed fabric at the knee ensures extra durability when sitting in a saddle and the pockets at the front and rear are convenient.

A well designed and good quality product, which I have to say is nothing less than you'd expect from the 'Just Togs' range.

NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans police say a third man has turned himself in to face charges from a shooting on Bourbon Street three days before Mardi Gras.
Officer Hilal Williams said Malcolm Hall, 19, was booked Saturday on four counts of attempted first-degree murder. His bond had not been set yesterday.
Two other men — Brandon Brown, 22, and Deron Bridgewater, 23 — turned themselves in earlier and were booked on the same charges. Their bonds are set at $1 million: $250,000 on each count.
The shooting injured four people during the run-up to Mardi Gras. Police have not released the victims' names.
