By Sherry MargolisFox 2 NewsCentral Michigan University police say 30-year-old Eric Ramsey, a convicted felon from Mount Pleasant, used a gun to force a woman into her own vehicle. He took her to a home off-campus where she was bound with tape and raped. The victim, a senior at CMU, was later forced back into her vehicle...along with two cans of gasoline. Ramsey told the victim he was going to kill her and that's when she jumped out of the moving vehicle and ran to a nearby home yelling for help. Residents let her inside, locked the door, and called 9-1-1. "While she was doing that, the male ended up parking the car and ended up coming up to the residence also. He ended up using the two gas cans and spraying the house with gas. He then lit the house on fire. Fortunately, he had left right after that. Fortunately, one of the homeowners did come home and was able to put out the fire before too much damage was done," says Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski.Ramsey took off in the victim's vehicle. He was then involved in a chase with Michigan State Police and rammed several cruisers before stealing a garbage truck and taking off. He made it 85 miles north of the campus."A Crawford County Sheriff's deputy spotted the vehicle and turned around and actually a sanitation truck tried to ram head on. In fact, he did make contact with the deputy's car. At that point the Crawford County deputy got out of the car and started firing at the lone individual in the car. He was fatally wounded," says Sheriff Mioduszewski.Before he was killed, Ramsey posted on facebook-- "Well folks, I'm about to get shot. Peace." For more on this incident click the story for full details.

Today I am going to show you a very easy, versatile project. This is a vintage pattern called "Road to Tennessee." I will be giving you alternate layout options and size options, depending on how many charm packs you have on hand. I also have a sweet giveaway going on over at my blog (check below for the link).
4 charm packs
1 yard background fabric (I used the off white from Hometown)
1/2 yard binding
3 3/8 yards backing.
Because this pattern is so easy to adjust, I am including a chart of fabric requirements for as few as one charm pack or as many as 8. Please note this tutorial is for the 4 charm pack option. I will include alternate layout options at the end of the tutorial.
Cut 2" squares from your background fabric. For this size we will need 288 background squares (# of blocks x 2= background squares needed).
Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of each 2" square.
Place a 2" square on opposite corners of each charm square.
Sew along the drawn lines.
Trim off all excess 1/4" from the newly sewn lines.
Press open to reveal 1 finished block. Repeat with all your charm squares.
This step is not necessary, but I separated my blocks into 2 piles...dark/busy and light/simple. This was just to try to distribute color more evenly.
Sew your individual blocks into v shaped pairs. I sewed my lighter colors on the left side and the darker colors on the right side.
Press toward the lighter color and when you flip the blocks together, the seams will nest.
Now sew your pairs into O shapes and press open.
Sew into rows. and sew rows together.
Baste your quilt sandwich
Approximate fabric requirements for backing: 3 3/8 YD.
Construct 2 strips the width of the fabric and length at least 60.5. Sew strips together to form horizontal seams in the backing.
Fabric required: 1/2 YD. Cut 6 strips and sew together into a continuous binding strip. Attach to the front of your quilt by machine and secure using a ladder stitch on the backside of the quilt.
I took my extra charms and added a few other Moda prints to show you some alternate layout options:
My buddy Andie from Andie Johnson Sews took pity on a computer challenged gal like me and did a mockup of this quilt in 3 Bella Solids:

Far Cry 3 cinematic trailer reveals September release
The new cinematic trailer for Far Cry 3 has arrived which focuses on a tense and tragic tale of three vacationing friends. Reminiscent of thrillers like Hostel and Turistas (minus some gore and torture), and featuring a hand-held documentary-style presentation, the CG video sets up the upcoming FPS's narrative.
It's a pretty compelling bit of storytelling. It even features the mohawked psychopath from the game's E3 2011 demo.
The end of the trailer also reveals that Far Cry 3 is scheduled for a September 7 release in the UK on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. A North American release date has yet to be confirmed, but is likely to be close.

Sports is a funny thing. Fans willingly enter into a masochistic agreement in which the odds of contentment are so overwhelmingly stacked against us that it's a wonder we return at all. It is the great irony of fandom. At the conclusion of every season, regardless of the sport, only one fan base is truly happy. All others are relegated to the scrap heap of hope known as "we'll get 'em next year." People wonder why sports talk radio's airwaves are dominated by pessimism. Well, there it is.
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Tell that to the fan of a perennial loser. Fans always believe they can do it better than those making the decisions that directly impact our rooting demeanors. Sometimes, I think that's true.
As a fan, it is our right (arguably our duty) to analyze and criticize. But we fans often overlook the role we play in the equation. Passion blinds us to fact and exposes our own hypocrisy. Cries of "do something!" are incomplete at best, insanely unrealistic at worst. Too lofty of expectations, coupled with short memories, create in us entitlement.
I've been blessed to have worked my entire career in the state in which my rooting interests reside. A life-long Packers, Brewers, Bucks, Badgers fan, I (like all fans of the aforementioned) have suffered through extended stretches of unthinkable ineptitude…I have been fortunate to celebrate on the highest of levels. It's the latter that spoils us, fashions in us privilege. How quickly we forget that our sport owes us nothing, save an honest effort – and ever that's debatable.

How the U.S. Supreme Court cases and other legal & political developments may change the landscape for LGBT families & relationships in 2013
Sponsored by the Membership & Membership Benefits Committee
Admission(s) for attorneys and nonattorneys alike
From 3-5 p.m., 2-hour CLE • Roundtable Discussion • Social Reception (cash bar) from 5-6 p.m.
From unprecedented support for same-sex marriage on Election Day 2012 and the Supreme Court's grants of certiorari in the DOMA and California marriage cases to President Obama's historic invocation of Stonewall and call for marriage equality in his second inaugural address, the past several months seem to augur a "tipping point" for LGBT issues. In Indiana, the advent of a new administration and the legislative decision to table HJR 6 for the time being open the door for new political possibilities. This presentation will offer both lawyers and nonlawyers alike a chance to examine these developments and their meaning for our community, our clients and our institutions.

Today I have one for you an action movie: Domino, starring the always enchanting British actress, Keira Knightley. This picture was a bomb at the box office, and I have no idea why. You'd think the idea of a 100 pound English rose beating up 290 pound felons would attract viewers by droves!
Domino (2005)
Netflix description:
"Tony Scott pilots an intriguing action thriller based on the life of Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley), the offspring of actor Laurence Harvey and model Pauline Stone. Blessed with her mother's beautiful face, Domino eschews a career in the fashion industry for a life as a bounty hunter. The film's all-star supporting cast includes Mena Suvari, Lucy Liu, Christopher Walken, Macy Gray, Dabney Coleman and Brian Austin Green."
OK, so Domino is about this rich girl who becomes a bounty hunter in Los Angeles. She goes on to get a reality show and take part in a huge drug deal that brings down a high rolling crime boss. As the film opens, we're told that Domino is "a true story...sort of." Nonsense. The character of Domino Harvey may have been real, but the rest of this movie is obviously pure fiction. And you don't need to dial up the boys at Wikipedia to figure that out, either -- the plot here gets far too ridiculous to be true. Casinos are blown up, Keira Knightley intimidates gang bangers, and Ian Ziering has work. In short, the whole story is way, waaaaaay over-the-top.
And so is the production. This movie can be hard to follow, with extremely fast cutting, shaky camera views with multiple filters, and trippy flashbacks and overdubs on a near constant basis. Domino was clearly intended to be a sort of experiment by director Tony Scott to find out just how far he could go with the genre (if you've seen Scott's Man on Fire, imagine that multiplied by ten). This film feels like it was directed and edited by a schizophrenic on psychedelic mushrooms.
As the plot (and everything else) gets more ridiculous, we start to wonder if Domino is supposed to be an action film or a comedy. I mean, I love Ms. Knightley, but seeing such a dainty lass acting like a street thug is a bit silly. She throws herself into the part, which is admirable, but it's all just too hard to swallow. Scott could have corrected this by cutting down on the voice-overs, and maybe throwing in just a little slapstickish humor, but he didn't. Instead, he seems determined to push this concept to its outermost limits with no compromises, and the whole thing is just...too darn extreme.
Still, this is undeniably a UNIQUE production -- a bright, near-brilliant, experiment in the next level of action filmmaking. Keira is hot, Mickey Rourke is cool, and there are some laughs. You'll walk away feeling a little drunk...but once the trauma wears off, you'll probably remember this one for a long time. Domino isn't good, but it's worth watching.
3 out of 5.
I Am A Bounty Huntah
Today I have one for you an action movie: Domino, starring the always enchanting British actress, Keira Knightley. This picture was a bomb at the box office, and I have no idea why. You'd think the idea of a 100 pound English rose beating up 290 pound felons would attract viewers by droves!

We all take care to make our homes safe for our children and ensure that we leave them with competent care givers when we are away. But do you know what information you should have all ready to go in case your child were to get kidnapped? Do you know the most common situations that put children in danger of sexual abuse?
This is a presentation with tips that every caregiver should know about some scary subjects - missing children and sexual abuse. No one likes thinking about these situations but taking some time (only 12 minutes!) to see how prepared you and your family are to prevent these terrible things from happening is worth it.

Album Review: AlunaGeorge, "Body Music"By Dylan Owens | July 29th, 2013 | No Comments »
The Brit electro-pop duo AlunaGeorge has released some incredibly catchy tracks in the months leading up to its debut album. "You Know You Like It," "Attracting Flies" and "Your Drums, Your Love" all had the free and easy feel of good club pop accented by a twinge of '90s R&B. It's a slick combo.
On the duo's first full length, "Body Music," producer George Reid and singer Aluna Francis execute it time and time again, nailing their respective parts on each track with crisp production and pitch-perfect vocals. The issue is that they really put their best foot forward with their singles, which outshine the lion's share of the album. There are some moments here that merit mention outside of the singles—counting as three of the album's first four tracks — like "Diver" and their cover of the essential Montell Jordan jam, "This Is How We Do It," but even then, the former is merely best of the others and the latter is more of an update than an improvement.
The other issue is that through 14 tracks, it can get repetitive. You get the sense the album would fare better chopped up and scattered throughout a long summer playlist than digested by itself in one go. The hits early on in the album definitely merit a listen, but beyond them, much of "Body Music" comes off as variations on the same pop/R&B theme. AlunaGeorge has nailed its sound, but would do well to stray from the formula a little.

Wiggly Whimsy Quilt
Hello All! Rebecca Silbaugh from Ruby Blue Quilting Studio back for another recipe! This time I combined two of my favorite precuts - a Charm Pack and a Jelly Roll to create this adorable lap quilt! It's constructed very simply, but the design makes the fabrics appear to wiggle around. I love these types of quilts that are really easy to make, but look slightly challenging. Want to learn the secret to this simple wiggle? Let's go!
You will need:
One Charm Pack for the Colored Squares (I used Good Morning by Me & My Sister)
One Jelly Roll of a Solid for the Background (I used Bella White #9900JR 98)
4 Yards of backing fabric (I used the Yellow with Flowers #22180 15)
5/8 Yard of binding fabric (I used the blue stripe #22184 16)
To get started, you'll need to choose 37 Charm Squares. I used most of the colors and took out the lightest fabrics from the pack so they wouldn't blend in with the background fabrics later on.
From those Charm Squares, cut each one in half twice yielding 4 equal 2-1/2" squares.
Throw all of the cut squares into a bag and mix them up (I love this part!)
From your Jelly Roll, cut 10 strips into 147 squares 2-1/2" x 2-1/2". Also cut 98 pieces 6-1/2" long from 17 of the strips. Set the rest of the strips aside for now.
Now that most everything is cut that we'll need, we can start the construction process. Reach into the bag of cut squares and pull out 98 of them. Make sure the colors and patterns are well mixed. Shake the bag from time to time if you think it needs it.
Onto each of the colored squares, stitch a background 2-1/2" square. Press all of the seams to the colored squares. Then separate the units into 2 piles of 49 pieces each.
Onto one pile, stitch another background square. Press the seams to the colored squares.
Onto the remaining pile, stitch on another colored square. Make sure the colors and patterns in these pieces are well mixed. Press the seams towards the colored squares. You should now have 49 of each unit.
Onto each of the pieces made above, stitch a 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" background strip. Press the seams towards the background strip.
Then sew one of each type of units together as shown above. Press the seams towards the background fabric. You should now have 49 blocks, each measuring 6-1/2" x 8-1/2".
Stitch seven strips of the blocks together end to end as shown, seven blocks in each strip. Make sure the blocks are all pointing the same direction in the strips. Layout the strips and then...
Switch the direction of every other strip. This is how you get the random-looking pattern which no muss, no fuss.
To complete the quilt top, take 4 strips and cut each one in half, creating 8 pieces roughly 2-1/2" x 22". Sew 7 of these pieces onto the end of 7 remaining full length strips.
Trim each strips to measure 56-1/2" long (this should be the length of your pieced strips). Stitch 6 of the strips between each of the pieced rows.
The final strip, cut in half lengthwise creating 2 strips 1-1/4" x 56-1/2". Sew each of these thinner strips on the outer edge of the quilt top. This will make your top finish at roughly 56-1/2" x 56-1/2".
To finalize prepping the pieces needed to finish the quilt, cut your backing fabric into 2 pieces 2 yards each and stitch them back together selvage to selvage. Cut the binding fabric into 7 strips x 2-1/2" or whichever width you prefer.
One quilt, 56-1/2" x 56-1/2". Perfect for a lap quilt for anyone. With the selection Bella Solid Colors of Jelly Rolls, you could get a completely different look by switching the background and Charm Squares.
Since I chose to use Good Morning my Me & My Sister (Hi Barb & Mary!!!) I decided to quilt this with flowers all over.
Oh, and I love how the stripe worked as the binding. Now, I could've gotten a completely different effect by cutting the binding on the bias, but I'll save that for another quilt (it gives this candy-cane effect that's so cool!)
Sooooo, I know many of you have been showing your stashes here on the Bake Shop. Who has a Jelly Roll and a Charm Pack laying around begging to be used? (Me, I'm guilty) Remember this project one of those nights when you can't sleep and the Local Quilt Shop is closed. You probably have most everything you'll need to make this already!
For more tutorials like this one, head on over to my blog at rubybluequilts.blogspot.com. I'm working on all sorts of wonderful right now, and I'd love to share it with you.
Speaking of sharing, if you've made any of my tutorials, I'd love to see pictures! Go ahead and e-mail them to me at rubybluequilts (at) gmail (dot) com and I'll be sure to post them on my blog! Have a great day!

I have been obsessed with this quilt ever since I first saw it almost a year ago! I am finally starting on my own version. (Where you have white I have scrappy blues and yellows and where you have the colorful squares I have white). Still want to make one with colorful solid jelly rolls and charm pack, someday! Thank you so much!

Motherhood can dramatically change a woman's life. It's estimated about 15 percent of new moms may be struggling with depression and anxiety. A Minnesota hospital is opening a new clinic to reach out to new mothers.It's one of the first postpartum depression programs of its kind in the country. It allows new mothers and their babies to stay together as well as their therapists to see how they're bonding and how they can help. Emily Beugen always dreamed of having children, but when she had her daughter five years ago, it was much different than what she had in mind. "I was just feeling a lot of pressure as a mother to do everything perfectly," she admitted. "Things started to feel different and worse and started to get a feeling that I didn't want to be around her."Emily was checked into the psychiatric clinic to get treatment. "I felt like a failure, a big failure," she said. Emily's story is so common, Minnesota's Hennepin County Medical Center has created the mother-baby program."We are very excited. This has been years in the making," said Dr. Helen Kim. "We're really excited to open our doors and help some families." Mothers in the program are admitted to an outpatient program where they spend five hours a day for three weeks getting treatment with their children. There's even a nursery that will soon be full of cribs so that mothers can bring their babies along while participating in group sessions that allow mothers to speak with other women who are experiencing the same struggles. "I was surrounded by people who had no idea what to do, and so to have a place like this to go where they can just bring you inside and give you a hug and tell you everything is going to be OK [is great]," Beugen said. There is also an observation room that allows a therapist the ability to watch how a mother and baby interact through mirrors. "It's important for us to see but it's also important for us to show a mother or caregiver cues she may be misinterpreting from her baby or child," Kim explained. The goal of the program is prevention, and Kim said the therapists hope to address symptoms early on before the depression turns severe. "Really, the symptoms began very early and the writing was on the wall well before a crisis evolved," Kim said of post-partum depression. "Had we intervened much earlier, we would have prevented a lot of suffering."The center hopes to target those with moderate to severe symptoms out of the gate, and Beugen urges mothers who are struggling to take part. "Give them hope that it's going to be OK and the clouds will pass," she said. "Just give them support."The center includes observation rooms that allow the therapist to watch the mothers and their babies as they interact.With one in eight new mom's suffering from depression, the whole idea is to treat it right away before the symptoms worsen.

Now, I wouldn't serve this to company unless they were already familiar with healthy eating. The texture is thickened with Psyllium Husk, which can be a little odd for some, but I really love it. It is such a soothing ingredient and full of fiber and very few calories. If you like tapioca or chia seeds pudding, then you will probably like this.
I started by making Bean Milk out of my white beans. You could use soybeans, rice or oatmeal instead of the white beans. My Banananog would also stand it nicely here. Rice or soymilk will also work, but I like the added nutrition and frugality of using beans.
This bean milk is delicious in smoothies, cooked into oatmeal or anywhere you would use soymilk. It's passable for drinking, but I like to use it as a base.
- 1 c white beans, cooked very well
- 4 c water
- 1 t vanilla extract
- ½ t rum extract
- Pinch salt
- ½ t cinnamon
- 1/8 t nutmeg
- 1 frozen banana
- 3 c bean milk
- 1 c water
- 1/2 t orange zest
- ½ c barley
- 1 c raisins
- 1 t cinnamon
- Stevia or sweetener to taste
- ½ c shredded coconut
- ¼ c psyllium husk
- 1 c soy yogurt
- freshly grated nutmeg for garnish
- Pressure cook for 10 minutes. Allow pressure to come down naturally.
- Stir in psyllium and let mixture sit for 15 minutes or let cool.
- If you don't have a pressure cooker, cook on stove for an hour or until barley is soft then stir in psyllium & yogurt
- Cool
- Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg

In 1983, David Yurman did the same with the development of his first Cable design, the Renaissance bracelet, which merges sculptural form with the brilliant jewel tones found in classical painting. Cable exemplifies the designer's motto of ""Continuing in the Classic Tradition," with references to ancient Greek and Roman, Egyptian and Celtic forms. Twisting multiple strands of metal into a cohesive helix, Cable is David Yurman's iconic design and signature motif."

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Drumzilla999 Amazing shoes! I've been wearing these shoes for many years. I prefer to wear them for everyday life but they are great to play in. If you decide to wear them to play in, make sure the shoes have been broken in before the first game because they feel really stiff around the ancle until they have been warn some. Also make sure they are not worn out because worn out leather provides no support for your ankles. When they are broken in these shoes feel so amazing. That being said, I usually do not wear these shoes for games because I prefer something a little more snug around my foot. If you are considering purchasing these you cannot go wrong. July 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by NR Completely different shoe to Samba originals I have a pair of Adidas Samba classic that fit just great. These Adidas Millenium (same 8.5 size) were just too small and were extremely tight. The arch support was just not in the right place, which made the shoes even more uncomfortable. If you are going to make different Samba shoes so transcendentally different to each other in size, fit and feel, please don't place the same Samba brand name to ALL of them. They are completely different shoes. In addition, I had to pay for the return shipment which must allow tracking. November 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Vumanchu Breaks in Nicely This shoe fit tightly at 1st but after several uses the leather loosened up. These are comfortable shoes that would be great for athletic or casual wear. September 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ZAPATA So worth it! These shows were a little tight at first but the stretched out and fit great, Like I said there a little hard at first but after some use they will feel amazing! great shoe! September 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by bubble head Loved the classics These are good. Longer than the classic sambas which could be good or bad. I have 10 1/2 in the classics perfect. These are a tad too big but not enough to warrant returning and getting a smaller size. Just don't be too surprised if they feel a bit longer. They seem to be around the same width as the classics. The Heel support is high but that could also be to being big. But the support definitely rides higher than the classics do. Good shoe though worked out and ran in em. Don't have any complaints. August 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by justmee Something changed Bought a pair some time ago and they felt like slippers... perfect fit and comfort. I wore them out so I went back to the same store and bought the same size without trying them on. Either my feet changed or the shoes did because they are way too narrow and like an idiot I though they might stretch. Best advice is that if they don't fit perfectly out of the box, don't buy them. March 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by the bicyclist Great Bicycling Shoe Actually, I bought a pair of Adidas Millennium shoes in 2006 just to knock around in. Shortly thereafter my bicycle shoes wore out and until I could find a new pair, I started to bicycle in my Adidas Millenniums. (I still use toe clips on my pedals). Well, they worked out so well, that they became my bicycling shoes and lasted for 8 years. I usually ride about 5000 mile per year, so the 2006 pair had about 40,000 miles on them. I was so satisfied that, I just bought my second pair and they fit exactly like the first pair I had. Same shoe, same fit, same great performance. April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by WHHXXX Comfortable & Fashionable This is my first indoor soccer boots. They fit my feet very well. The leather is very soft. They are not only for indoor soccer but also for everyday life. Very good product! February 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by torontomanfan have been wearing Samba Millennium for over 8 yrs Love these shoes, my insoles fit in perfectly and they are my everyday shoe (most days). Just picked up 2 more pair (1 black, 1 white). They are really comfortable and definitely a stable in my shoe library. March 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nickelpickle The best shoes I've had These shoes provide comfort and are very stylish. They also support your feet at all times. If you are a fan of soccer these shoes are for you becase they help with your shooting and perform better for dribbling October 4, 2011

An eleven-year-old boy took a bullet to the chest late Tuesday night while he was sitting on the couch inside his west side Detroit home. His mom's friend, a 26-year-old man, was on the doorstep with dinner when he was ambushed by two men. Neighbors said the shooters hid in an abandoned home and opened fired with no regard for anyone else.Malinda Duncan lives next door to the victims. She like many in Detroit is tired of killing and demanding that the mayor and the governor clean up the city."Look through these houses, if they [are] no good, tear [them] down so people can stop finding dead relatives in these damn houses," she said. "If it was [your] family members, you all would do the right damn things."
For more of what Duncan told Fox 2, click here to see the story "A real message to the leaders who govern Detroit".Both of the victims were rushed to the hospital. The child's grandmother, Dr. Joyce Jones, leader of Stop the Violence Prevention Outreach, is now praying that her own grandson will make a full recovery."It was a long surgery," she said. "When he finally came out, I was able to... go in and see for myself that he was fine and be able to pray with him and to be able to see him open his eyes."The boy's uncle came to the scene the day after the shooting, asking neighbors what they saw, looking for answers and justice."I think all of us need to start being advocates and stop the violence, especially when it come[s] to our children," he said.
