I know, I know everyone knows how to make beef stew but does everyone know how to make mouth-watering, company beef stew? This is a beef stew that would be great to serve at a casual dinner party, family dinner or to drop off to a friend who's having a bad week. It's even better the second day. Double it and put one batch in the freezer to pull out on a busy night.
Non-negotiable rules for making beef stew…
- Use boneless beef chuck with some fat (fat=flavor)
Sear the cubes of beef (be patient and get a good sear on all sides)
Add carrots, celery and potatoes after an hour to prevent them from getting mushy.
Cook low and slow for at least two hours.
I did take some liberties with this stew. It's more of a soup than a stew. The broth is not super thick but it is so flavorful. If you would prefer a thicker stew then add small diced carrots, onions and celery right after searing the beef. This will make a thicker broth. I chose to add bigger 2 inch vegetables one hour into cooking and it changed the entire make up of the
stew soup. Sorry I can't decide what to call it!
Now that we have those pesky old rules out of the way the rest is pretty simple. I have added an extra step by using small pearl onions. They are delicious and add a special fancy touch. To prepare these you first blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Put them in a strainer and run cold water over them. Then slice off the root end and you can push the pearl onion out of it's skin. It pops right out! Or you can watch the expert Martha Stewart do it here. You can substitute chopped onions if you prefer. Enjoy a new take on the average beef stew.
Not Your Average Beef Stew
- 2-3 lbs of beef chuck with some good fat cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp good butter gold Kerrygold
- 3 tbsp flour
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 10 pearl onions see note above, skins removed
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups red wine I used Pinot Noir
- 1 32 oz box beef stock I like Kitchen Basics
- 2 cups water
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 4 carrots cut into 2 inch pieces
- 3 celery stalks cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 lb small white or red boiling potatoes
- Italian parsley for garnish
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in large dutch oven. Brown the beef in batches. Do not overcrowd. Add a bit more oil and butter with each batch. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add a bit more olive oil, then add the garlic and onions. Cook until well browned about 10 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute.
- Add the beef back to the pot and sprinkle with the flour. Cook until you don't see any white flour.
- Add vinegar, beef broth, wine, bay leaves, and thyme. Don't forget to add all the juices from the beef. Bring to a simmer, cover and put in oven for about 2 hours. You can check along the way to see that the beef is getting tender.
- About an hour into cooking, add the carrots and potatoes.
This recipe was adapted from Epicurious.

House Republicans were suppose to unveil their tax cut bill today, but the unveiling has been delayed until tomorrow.
So, what's the problem?
Nothing major, just how to pay for $5-fucking-trillion in tax cuts for the rich.
Rumors of a potential postponement started to spread Tuesday afternoon. At the center of the problem were questions about how to pay for the proposed $5.5 trillion in tax cuts, since any major revenue-generator is certain to antagonize some powerful lobby or group of lawmakers who could defeat it.
[It's] the unresolved issues that caused Ways and Means members the most heartburn this week — and ultimately led to the delay. Those include: how to win over GOP lawmakers from high-tax states that are balking over curbing the state and local tax deduction, which their constituents rely on. There are also question about how to ensure that wealthy individuals don't take advantage of the lower 25 percent small business or "pass-through" rate.
Look, they're suppose to unveil their bill tomorrow, but I don't know how they intend to answer these big questions in the next 24 hours if they couldn't answer them over the past 24 years.
Like their effort to repeal Obamacare, they've been afforded a great deal of time to think this through, but they haven't come up with anything viable of practical.
Maybe their ideas are just plain bad.

Dracula has risen
Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK View in OSM NZ
Negotiation and problem solving for Skills Challenge
3 rooms with table & chairs
2 teams
ideally 3 leaders one for each room
Scenario: One of the lesser known effects of acid rain has been a change in the acidity of subsoil in Transylvania, which recently released poisonous gasses into Castle Dracula. This has resurrected the Count, who is expected to take advantage of the improvement in East-West relations to resume his reign of terror in London. Your team's task is to kill him as soon as possible on his home ground. To do this, you must establish the earliest day and time that you can kill the Count.
Your team is in competition with the other team for the film and publication rights to the "We Killed Dracula" story, which could be worth millions. You and your fellow team members will be given information that will help you to complete your task. However, other essential information will be held by the other team. The other team also needs information that only your team has. The only way that you can gain the other team's information is through your negotiator, who is to communicate directly and as often as necessary with the negotiator from the other team. Throughout this process, the other team will be attempting to gain information from your team in the same way.
Your team must select one member to be your negotiator. Once this choice has been made, this role may not be assumed by any other person. Team members are not allowed to witness communications between the negotiators.
The winning team will be the one whose negotiator is the first to submit in writing the correct day and time when Count Dracula can be killed and the correct rationale for the answer.
Activity: Print the attached document and give each team their briefing document in separate rooms. Everything else is obvious from the text
Feedback after running the activity: It's important to have a leader in each room, it turns out that my Scouts can't all be trusted to get engaged in the activity. The leader monitoring negotiations need to have the master info document and make sure that the negotiations are fair, honest and truthful.

Owners of the LG G2 on T-Mobile's network are the latest to receive a software update that adds the Knock Code feature to the smartphone, allowing owners of that device to simply knock on the display to wake it up.
The update role out apparently began on Monday and a check of T-Mobile's support page confirms the availablity of the software download. In addition to the Knock Code feature, the LG G2 T-Mobile update includes some battery performance improvements. It also has "Google Wallet improvements, Google security fixes, auto brightness improvements, visual voicemail improvements and Wi-Fi calling improvements."
While the update will automatically roll out between now and August 4th for LG G2 owners on T-Mobile. it can be downloaded right now by connecting to a Wi-Fi signal, and then by going into "Settings", then into "General". There users can tap on "About phone", followed by tapping "Update Center", then "System Updates" and finally "Check now". After that, the user follows the prompts to download the update.
If you own a LG G2 on T-Mobile, are you glad about being about to get the Knock Code feature along with these other improvements?
Thanks to ragdoll08 in our forums for the tip!

Sailor Jerry. Why treehuggers should kiss our ass.Posted by Browners at 5/24/2007 08:22:00 am
From Sailor Jerry's website:
1. Whenever possible, we make our stuff here in the USA - so we're not causing boatloads of global warming emmissions.
2. We make quality shit in classic styles that will look good your whole life if your kids don't steal if first - not the kind of trendy shit you throw away in a year.
3. Because we make more of our stuff here, we rely less on shitty third world factories that have slack environmental rules and treat their employees like dirt.
4. Every goddamn one of our employees bikes or walks to work. If EVERYONE did this, we'd kick global warming's ass from here to shanghai.
5. Our store, office and warehousing in 150 year-old re-habbed buildings - not some cookie cutter suburban office park where farmland used to be.
6. We're a small family-owned company that is not publically traded. So we make rational growth decisions based on our personal passions, beliefs and ideologies, not greed and quarterly profits.
7. And our rum? It's 92 proof, which means you need buy less (and we need to ship less of it) of it to get the job done. Our bottles are simple on purpose - to make recycling easy.

It seems that the curious case of the sluggish Nexus 7 has been solved with the inclusion of TRIM support in Android 4.3. TRIM is essentially a way for the device's software to communicate with the on-board storage to let it know when blocks are sitting unused and ready for garbage collection. This is a necessary process, because when a user "deletes" files on a device, the file isn't actually removed from storage but simply marked as being available space to be cleared later when it is needed by the system. Unless TRIM is working to actually clear up those unused blocks, they will still be considered full by the storage itself.
For previous versions of Android TRIM wasn't enabled, which led to slower and slower I/O performance over time -- something that hit the Nexus 7 particularly hard. Luckily thanks to some investigation and testing by AnandTech, it is confirmed that the Android 4.3 update is bringing TRIM support to not only the Nexus 7 but every Nexus device.
Once updated to the latest version of Android, TRIM will attempt to do this garbage collection roughly once every 24 hours depending on the circumstances. If the device has been inactive for at least an hour, hasn't checked for criteria to clean in the last 24 hours and the device is either charging above 30-percent battery or not charging above 80-percent battery, the system will go through the storage and clean up unused blocks.
Because this is an issue that is only noticeable when a device has been used without wiping for some time, it may not be immediately apparent that TRIM is doing its job after the update. What you should see after moving to 4.3 is more consistent performance over time on your devices no matter how much data you move around on the storage.

Samsung's flagship smartphone hasn't yet seen the light of day on US soil but prices are being slashed across carriers. The Galaxy S3 is now available at a discounted price of $149.99 (with an AT&T contract), through special offers from Target and Amazon Wireless.
According to Tech Radar, existing AT&T users can buy the 16GB Galaxy S3 model for $149.99 from either Target or Amazon Wireless - as part of a contract upgrade. New AT&T subscribers, meanwhile, are also offered discounts, albeit at a slightly lower rate. They can buy the new smartphone for $189.99, along with the carrier's service plan.
Although neither retailer has announced a deadline for this offer, Target listed the device as being on sale on 15 June and were reportedly the first to offer the deal on a new two-year contract with AT&T.
The US version of the smartphone will launch on all four major carriers - Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint - and the device is expected to support both 4G LTE and HSPA+ 42 networks. Prices are expected to vary across cellular carriers with a minimum starting price of $199.
Amazon Wireless has listed the phone as backordered while Target promises to ship by 28 June. The official US release date for the Galaxy S3 actually varies across cellular carriers. The latest rumours hint at Verizon Wireless releasing the phone on 9 July.
"The U.S. launch of the Galaxy S3 is the most anticipated launch of the year. As promised, we are delivering the 'next big thing' for U.S. customers and across major carriers," explained Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America, according to Christian Post, adding, "Galaxy S3 introduces new technological innovation and takes sharing to the next level."
The US variant of the smartphone will receive Qualcomm's dual-core S4 chip that will replace the Exynos quad-core unit in the international version. The other change is that the RAM for the US version has been increased to 2GB from the 1GB on the international version. All other specifications will be the same, including a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, a 2100mA battery and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) OS.

Grade: B
Doing it at: 80 %
Catnip: Kissing Cousins; Butt Stuff; #TeamAnal; Threesomes; Sharks and Jets
Shame Scale: It's a love story about first cousins, so… pretty high shame. But – it reads like a real book, so you can cut yourself some slack.
Fantasy Cast: Jay Hernandez, Selena Gomez
Book Description:
Belén: I've loved Luciano ever since I can remember, desired him before I even knew what it meant. He's always been the only man in my life—my constant protector, and his rejection only intensifies my need.
Luciano: I've never known a love more fierce than the one I feel for Belén. But I force myself to deny her no matter how much it hurts.
Our love is a sickness and both of us are infected.
Because there's no cure for being from the same family.
Mary: I think our decision to read this one went something like, "OMG actual incest romance, do we need?" "Fuck yassss"
Cleone: I was really sold when I opened the book and discovered it opened with a Pablo Neruda quote. Neruda is the patron saint of over dramatic, love sick, teen girls. I speak from experience, my jam was:
But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.
Plus, ya know, incest.
M: Because we're kind of weirdos like that. But this book actually turned out to be more of a Real Book and less of a Kink Book than I think either of us were expecting.
C: I cut my trash book teeth on incest stories. Maldeamores was kind of the perfect read for a really hot, humid summer day when your brain isn't moving at full speed and you want to get lost in problems that are actually worse than your own (being in love with your cousin trumps anything I've got going on).
M: Belén (Bey) and Luciano (Lucky) are Dominican cousins, nine months apart, growing up in the Bronx. They've been there for each other for their whole lives, but when they hit their early teens, Bey starts nurturing quite a crush on her cousin Lucky. It's pretty innocent at first – just wanting to be kissed by a boy, by Lucky, her best friend.

Two men from The Dalles — one over the age of 30 and the other more than 40 — were sentenced this week in separate cases for using positions of authority to gain the trust of teenage girls they then molested.
"Sex offenders groom not only children but the adults in the child's family, and their own, in order to gain the trust that will enable them to abuse the child — it's a deliberate act," said Wasco County Chief Deputy District Attorney Leslie Wolf, who prosecuted both cases. "It's a violation of public trust and the effect on the children is that they exit whatever childhood they have left and have issues that extend into their adult lives."
Daniel Chamberlin, 37, the former youth pastor at First Christian Church of The Dalles, was ordered Thursday to spend 30 days in the regional jail, followed by 36 months of probation. He pleaded guilty at the March 21 hearing to second-degree sexual abuse and third-degree sodomy, both Class C felonies, and waived his right to a trial or an appeal of the charges against him.
He was led away from the courtroom in handcuffs after delivering an apology to Judge Janet Stauffer, the victim and her family for the incidents that occurred between July 1, 2006, and Feb. 27, 2007. Chamberlin initially denied any wrongdoing after being confronted about inappropriate behavior by the 15-year-old girl's family and said he was only counseling her as a youth pastor.
"I apologize for the fact there was a trust in me that was violated," he said after listening to blistering comments made by the victim, now age 22, who only recently decided to pursue justice for the abuse.
"The reason I am here today is to expose this man who was supposed to be a mentor and abused his power," she said to Stauffer. "This monster is a shell in which evil dwells. I have survived the hell he put me in for seven years; I let the darkness come into my life because he told me it was okay."
On Tuesday, David Henry Holt, 41, was sentenced after being found guilty by a jury of two counts of third-degree sex abuse. He was ordered by Stauffer to spend six months in jail, followed by 48 months of probation. He was prosecuted by Wolf for molesting a 15-year-old girl who was the best friend of his step-daughter while she was spending the night at the family home in March of 2012.
After the girl reported what had happened to her parents, they contacted police and an investigation was initiated. Holt was arrested and charged by Wolf after another girl corroborated the victim's account of the abuse.
Both Chamberlin and Holt will have to undergo any psychological treatment deemed necessary by their respective probation officers and register as sex offenders upon being released from jail. Neither can be in places where children congregate, although Stauffer granted Chamberlin the right to be around his own three children without restriction.
She said Holt could have phone contact while under court supervision with his stepchildren and daughter only if that was deemed appropriate by his therapist and probation officer. She based that ruling on the fact that he had asked the children to take the stand in his defense.
"I sat through the trial, I listened to the testimony of all the witnesses and all the children who came in and, in my opinion, some of the children — your stepchildren — testified untruthfully. I think that was a horrible position to put them in," said Stauffer.
Holt did not choose to speak at his March 15 sentencing hearing, which followed a two-day trial.
NOTE: Commenting has been disabled on this story to protect the victim from those who did not believe her testimony.

I think I have run the gamut of facial moisturizers on today's market. From a cheap bottle of Pond's Cold Cream to very expensive department store brands, yet nothing has completely cured my dry skin. I decided to take matters into my own hands and do some research on cures for extremely dry skin, and found a few home remedies I decided to try. My first project was making Homemade Cold Cream.
Sweet Almond Oil (that I bought in a bulk size and was actually cheaper than smaller name brand bottles!) because it's full of vitamins A, D, and E, does not clog pores, absorbs in your skin with minimal greasy residue, and is great for dry skin, anti-aging, and reduces dark circles and puffy eyes (the latter is not an issue for me but why not be proactive!). I deviated slightly from the original recipe by buying organic beeswax bars instead of pellets, and found that they melt so fast it really isn't an issue, and I made mine the old fashioned way by using a pot on the stove (I'm not a big fan of microwave ovens, and the thought of making something I was going to put on my face in a radiation machine really freaked me out!). A quick 10 minutes later I had a light and fluffy cold cream that felt wonderful on my skin. Unfortunately it ended up being a bit too heavy for my face, but I think it makes a fantastic body butter that keeps my legs silky smooth!
After a bit more research I found a very interesting facial regimen that sounded a bit weird at first, but I decided to try it anyway. The Oil Cleansing Method.
Who knew you could wash your face with oil?! I decided to use my Sweet Almond Oil as the base (since I have so much I need to use up!) and I was pleasantly surprised that my face actually felt really clean after I finished my first wash! I did have a few breakouts, but I thinks it's due to the Oil Cleansing deep cleaning my pores and opening up pores that have been clogged. It didn't 100% cure my dry skin, but it was definitely an improvement, so I decided to stick to for a month and really commit to it. So, here I am a month later with my skin much less dry, and less blackheads too! I have to say, I am completely sold on the Oil Cleansing Method and will never use facial cleansers or "soap" on my face ever again!
What is your favorite facial cleansing/moisturizing routine?

Notes on American Literature
·American literature begins with native Americans orally passed: songs, myths, poetry (later translated into English) ·complex, multilingual beginning
Important figures:
·Sir Walter Raleigh traveler, Elizabeth's I lover, poet, soldier, died in Tower of London. A famous English writer, poet, courtier and explorer. He was responsible for establishing the second English colony in the New World (after Newfoundland was established by Sir Humphrey Gilbert nearly one year previously, August 5 1583) on June 4, 1584, at Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina. When the third attempt at settlement failed, the ultimate fate of the colonists was never authoritatively ascertained. ·John Winthrop governor of Massachusetts. led a group of English Puritans to the New World, joined the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 and was elected their first governor on April 8, 1630. Between 1639 and 1648 he was voted out of governorship and re-elected a total of 12 times. Although Winthrop was a respected political figure, he was criticized for his obstinacy (stubborn) regarding the formation of a general assembly in 1634.
Calvin's influence:
·theory of predestination, limited redemption
·self trials to find destiny
·the only hope was faith in God
·God's goodwill irresistible grace
·faith makes everyone good but good deeds without faith don't work ·one should follow their destiny, ex. become a farmer, following destiny will make you successful, (wealthy) but you shouldn't don't spend money, invest it! ·the holy act of making money for God
Puritans were waiting for signs, they read books to read' (the Bible), interpreted it, interpreted history in their own, Puritan way. Anything could be a sign (weather conditions, Indian attacks, diseases, famine, etc.).
Puritan faith:
·grim, no paintings, no music
·sermons were extremely important as they interpreted the Bible
Michael Wigglesworth:
·wrote The Day of Doom (1662) - his poem represents puritan thought of the time. Many of the puritans memorized it and used it to get people back into the church. They used it to teach children and lingering adults. This was the first "best seller", even though this term wasn't used yet. It describes the Day of Judgment and the sentencing to punishment in hell of sinners and of infants who died before baptism.
Samuel Danforth:
·In 1670, he was invited to give the annual election sermon to the General Assembly, which was afterwards printed as A Brief Recognition of New-England's Errand into the Wilderness (about turning nature into civilization) and is regarded as one of the finest examples of the "jeremiad" form ·jeremiad sermons - explained things form the Bible, created context, it said that future is glorious because we can be better, improve ourselves
History interpretations:
Cotton Mather:
·Magnalia Christi Americana (about religious development of Massachusetts, and other nearby colonies in New England from 1620 to 1698); the English title was The Ecclesiastical History of New England (1702) ·he also wrote descriptions of the Salem Witch Trials, in which he criticizes some of the methods of the court and attempts to distance himself from the event; account of the escape Hannah Dustan, one of the most famous to captivity narrative scholars; his complete "catalogus" of all the students that graduated from Harvard College, and story of the founding of Harvard College itself; and his assertions that Puritan slaveholders should do more to convert their slaves to Christianity ·made a heritage, typological approach
Religious texts:
- sermons instruments of communication between the minister and the people - theological thesis
- chronicles (historical)
Mary Rowlandson
(1635-7 1678)
·She was a colonial American woman, who wrote a vivid description of the seven weeks and five days she spent living with Native Americans. Her...

so today i went to check out some games in elko and i was going to buy the Harry Potter game for PC, but decided not to because the language is in Norwegian and i wasn't sure if i could change it to english ( if you have the game and you know how to change languages can you please tell me? , because i really want to buy the game but not if i have to play in Norwegian)
and then i decided to check out some stores and i went to this makeup store that sells all kinds of makeup/skin care/perfume/nailpolish brands and there was a sale on some Dior lipglosses,lipsticks, eyeshadows, and i think there was foundation also, i am not sure, and i bought a lipgloss and after that i checked out some stores and bought more stuff (not a lot) and decided to do the haul today :)
Okay so i bought this Dior Addict Crystal Gloss in 087 Sweet Rose. it looks just like it does in the picture, i've put it on a couple of times and i love it <3
ever since i saw Princess Diana's ring i fell in love with it <3 it was so pretty and i had to buy something like it,so i was lucky to find this one and i really love it i wear it all the time. i bought this ring when i was in Croatia, i just forgot to put it in my last haul ( my fingers looked really weird in the picture so i cropped them off lol)
i fell in love with this sweater when i saw it and i just had to get it, i was so lucky they had this sweater in my size because all of the other ones had only XL,S,XS ( small can fit me but i like it when my sweater is a little loose on me) ( oh and it's much prettier in person, it's a bright red colour)

Although the HTTP 1.1 Draft Internet Standard introduces the Accept-Language header to support serving multiple languages, the WWW community has been slow to implement this feature. Few browsers send Accept-Language because most servers don't do anything with it. Most servers don't recognize Accept-Language because it isn't supported by many browsers. We at SCO have implemented our help, online documentation and manual pages using WWW architecture, and because we control both the client and server sides, we were able to serve multilingual documentation despite the lack of standards at the time of our implementation. We were able to resolve many multilingual issues that might serve as lessons for a more general solution. This paper hopes to serve as motivation for the WWW at large to begin implementation of a true multilingual Web.
The online documentation system provided with SCO's OpenServer system includes context-sensitive help for both graphical and character applications, reference documentation (man pages), and extensive online documentation such as user guides, tutorials, and programmer's guides. All documentation is delivered online in HTML.
SCO signed a source license agreement in 1993 with NCSA for both NCSA Mosaic and NCSA HTTPD. Both were modified to customize them for online documentation and context-sensitive help. Support for Unix Domain Sockets was added so the WWW model worked even on a standalone non-networked machine. We run Scohttp on a separate well-known port (457) so it does not conflict with other WWW servers.
Backward compatibility for locating man pages is provided by a cgi-binary that encompasses these traditional heuristics. The man command line utility was rewritten to access this script using the WWW. The man pages are also available from within the Scohelp browser.
Full-text search indices were created for each book or man page section, and shipped along with a "stanza" file that maps filenames to titles for the book. This allowed the search cgi-binary to return search results that are topic-oriented rather than filename oriented, without the overhead of opening each file to parse its title. A library stanza file serves as a database of books for full-text searching and is passed to the client on the first search request.
When we designed our online help system, the WWW was in its infancy, and many areas had not been fully specified. In particular, support for multiple languages was very sketchily described. Since then the standards have evolved to describe more details, but still we felt somewhat on our own to apply them to a full multilingual solution.
Because of our world wide market, it was essential that we be able to transparently deliver online documentation in the language given by the user's LANG environment variable. Because of the high cost of translation, not all the documentation would be translated, so we needed to provide one level of language fallback (to the English documentation). Different localizations of the product would translate different documentation, and generally only end-user documentation would be translated. A primary goal was to keep URLs language-independent. That is, all translated versions of a document would be referred to by the same URL. This would simplify hotlinks and allow more translated documentation to be added to the system without requiring cross-document references to change.
In order for this architecture to seamlessly integrate multiple languages, we made extensions and modifications to the Mosaic-based browser, the HTTP protocol, the HTTP server, and the CGI interface.
Accept-Language is defined in the HTTP 1.1 [1] specification, although our implementation was based on earlier less-specific versions of this specification. Accept-Language is a new request header in the protocol and provides a mechanism for passing locale information to Scohttpd. The current specification for Accept-Language indicates that the language tags are defined by RFC 1766 [2], but at the time of our implementation this standard had not been given. We used the Unix locale names as our language tags, but provided a mapping mechanism for flexibility.
The user sets their preferred locale for their entire session with an environment variable, LANG, whose components control collation, currency notation, numeric formatting, and time preferences in addition to message language. The message language component of LANG is LC_MESSAGES. The user's LC_MESSAGES value is sent by Scohelp as part of each request to the server.
Scohelp sends only a single language preference. The HTTP 1.1 mechanism for associating an optional quality value to each language was not in the original specification, and was more refined than our needs dictated. Our implementation is consistent with the default behavior given in the HTTP 1.1 specification. Scohttpd will automatically fallback to a default (English) if the browser request doesn't include an Accept-Language, if the locale requested doesn't exist, or if the requested topic is not found within that locale.
We also made modifications in the server to send error messages back in the user's language, based on Accept-Language.
Because the Accept-Language values were not well defined at the time of our implementation, we built a mechanism for mapping Accept-Language values to a format understood by the server. LanguageAlias is a server configuration directive in the configuration file srm.conf that provides a simple mapping from language tags to server locales. The format of this tag is:
LanguageAlias: <language tag> <server locale>
We use the tag to map common locale names to a single naming convention on the server, as shown in this example:
LanguageAlias: french_france fr_FR.ISO8859-1 LanguageAlias: fr_FR fr_FR.ISO8859-1 LanguageAlias: german_germany de_DE.ISO8859-1 LanguageAlias: de_DE de_DE.ISO8859-1
DocumentRoot is a server directive that gives the implicit root for locating URLs, and is used if no Accept-Language value is given. To allow reuse of URLs among different languages, we implemented parallel language trees for each translation. The translation trees that we deliver are always a sparse subset of the English default. For convenience, the translated trees are physically subdirectories of the English tree, but this is not required. A server configuration directive LocalizedDocRoot in srm.conf maps the Accept-Language tag to a locale-specific root. If the document requested does not exist in this locale, then the server will use the default document root to locate the file. For example, if Accept-Language=french_france, the URL will be located in /usr/lib/scohelp/fr, but if not found the server will try again to locate it in /usr/lib/scohelp before returning a Not Found error message. Only the first language tag is searched, others will be ignored in our current implementation. The format of this tag is:
LocalizedDocRoot: <server locale> <pathname>
Here is a sample configuration of LocalizedDocRoot:
DocumentRoot: /usr/lib/scohelp LocalizedDocRoot: fr_FR.ISO8859-1 /usr/lib/scohelp/fr LocalizedDocRoot: de_DE.ISO8859-1 /usr/lib/scohelp/de
All Language Aliases are expanded before the LocalizedDocRoot is searched.
Two new environment variables were added to the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) so that the server can pass locale information to any CGI scripts that it executes (such as the search program or man).
LANG_PATH_TRANSLATED contains a translated version of PATH_INFO with any locale specific document roots expanded. It is essentially the same as PATH_TRANSLATED, except that it uses the locale specific document root (if it exists) instead of the default document root.
LANG gives us the ability to localize CGI script messages in the user's preferred language. LANG contains the locale specified in the Accept-Language header, with language aliases expanded.
Our documentation is structured with the translated directories as subdirectories of the home directory. Because of the fallback mechanism, many books were not translated, but can easily be added as more documentation is translated.
We currently have localized any French and German interfaces and documentation, but can support any of the ISO8859-1 language. Of course, the real cost of these localizations is the translation effort. Other ISO8859 languages can be supported if the appropriate font resources are installed, but the user cannot change the locale or codeset dynamically.
The user's locale determines the user interface language (we have localized Scohelp, libwww, and Scohttpd interfaces for French, German, Chinese, and Japanese) and in addition, defines a "documentation scope". This scope defines what documentation the user will see and have access to in the Table of Contents, Full-text Searching, and all navigation. Although we may ship and install multiple languages, the user sees only their language and the fallback language (which is English).
Figure 1 shows the Table of Contents that is shown to a user whose LANG is not set and so displays the English fallback text.
Our documentation uses a multi-tiered Table of Contents scheme. The top tier, shown in Figure 1, presents certain key books and "sets" that group the remainder of the books into primary subjects. The Table of Contents for some sets, such as The Graphical Environment Documentation Set, contain a mixture of both French and English book titles. Books themselves are always completely translated. We decided to translate all the set titles, but to only translate a book's title if the book itself was translated. All the key books presented at the top level Table of Contents were translated, so, for example, a French user sees an entirely translated Table of Contents, as shown in Figure 2.
The last line of Figure 2 informs the user that not all of the documentation has been translated. We originally considered marking translated books, but we found in practice that multilingual readers can tell by reading the titles if the book has been translated.
We use relative URLs in all of our documentation, because it is intended that the user be able to optionally move the entire documentation set off the desktop and onto a central documentation server, accessed via the WWW. The URLs on the Table of Contents pages for both languages are identical, as Figures 3 and 4 show.
Because our documentation is a heterogeneous mix of languages, we had to ensure that our full-text search engine searches only the books within the user's language scope.
Each language directory has a stanza file that describes the books and sets that have been translated and installed. This file is merged with the default library stanza file whenever any documentation is added or removed from the system. A merged library stanza file is maintained for each language on the system, but accessed only if Accept-Language is sent.
The first time the search dialog is accessed, a request for the library stanza file is made to the server. The merged library stanza file for appropriate to the Accept-Language is sent and parsed to show the books and sets installed (see Figure 5). The list is kept by the browser for the entire session, and can be used to tailor the scope of full-text searching to specific books and/or sets.
A French user will see the mix of translated and untranslated book titles, as shown in Figure 6.
When the French user searches for a French word, she will get hits generally only in the French documentation. If she searches for an English word, it will generally be found in the English documentation. But many technical terms, and words that are common between both languages, will be found in both English and French documentation. The search results for such a word will contain both English and French topics, as shown in Figure 7.
Although there is a specification for an Accept-Charset in the HTTP 1.1 specification, this solution may not be adequate to solve the problem of multilingual WWW content, since there is no mechanism in the response to identify which character set the document is actually encoded in. Because of our closed model, we were able to sidestep the character set issue somewhat. Our Asian localization of Scohelp supports the multibyte encoding Extended European Code (EUC) in addition to the other multilingual extensions discussed above. We are able to make the assumption that a user viewing a non-ISO8859-1 document has a browser configured with the fonts necessary to display it. So a document is sent with no header fields or tags to indicate its character or code set, and the browser displays it in the current font. As long as the browser has the correct fonts installed, the document displays correctly, as shown in Figure 9.
Until we devise a method to change fonts based on the character set of the document, this is not a truely multilingual solution. For example, it is impossible to read say, a French document from a browser that is displaying Chinese fonts. This approach is barely acceptable for our needs, and we hope the standards will soon point the way to a more complete implementation.
A feature we would like to implement in a future version of Scohelp is a menu option so the user can change their language dynamically. Some users may prefer to read some documentation in their native language and other documentation in its original form. We would also like to extend the fallback mechanism to support more than one language incorporating the quality values described in the HTTP 1.1 specification.

What is a delegate account?
By adding other FollowMee account as your delegating account, you allow this account holder to view your device location without having to expose your account credential. This is different from
location sharing
, where all internet users can view your shared location. Only the delegating account that you have added can view your location. You can add a delegating account in
you account page
. You can delegate all devices, or groups of devices.
Business users can delegate the main account to a view-only account, where this account holder can only view location, but cannot set up app, or modify information of the main account. With
, you can set up accounts with different access to their devices. For example, you have set up a main account to set up all your devices. You can group your devices by function and delegate the group devices to the group account. The group managers uses their group accounts to view their devices, with no access to other group devices, or the main account.
Even though delegate account enables location sharing with limited users, you should use the same account if you have
multiple devices
to track.
How do I group my devices in my account?
My location data is protected by my credential. How can I share my location?
Can I track multiple devices with one account?

According to Russian security firm Group-IB a new group of cyber criminals dubbed MoneyTaker has launched lucrative attacks on a number of US and Russian finance houses; harvesting millions of dollars. Its first incursion was in 2016 and, since then, it has robbed several US banks, plus other organisations in Russia and the UK.
The attackers initially compromised a PC with access to inter-banking money transfer and card processing systems. Using legitimate apps – which makes their attacks all the more pernicious, they then spread malware laterally in order to collect more files and credentials. The hackers had clearly done their homework, as each approach was carefully customised to the target organisation. They also successfully covered their tracks by deleting their entry points.
It appears likely that MoneyTaker is of Russian origin, and that they intend to strike again. Group-IB has passed on its findings to international crime fighting organisations Interpol and Europol.

Contact Lenses and Care
Contact Lenses:
Contact Lens Solutions:
Manage Your
Tap water, including shower water, can be full of not-so-friendly organisms that can hurt your eyes. Who knew, right?
Your lenses are basically little sponges and can absorb water that may contain bacteria and fungi. When those bad guys get in your eyes, it can lead to irritation and infections.
Shower water can cause soft contact lenses to change shape, swell, and even stick to the eye. This is pretty uncomfortable, and can scratch the cornea, which makes it easier for germs to enter the eye and cause infection.
It's pretty simple. Just make sure you take your lenses out before you jump in the shower or tub.
Store them in fresh OPTI-FREE® solution while you shower and pop them back in when you're done.
If you do experience any irritation, redness, blurred vision, tearing or the feeling that something's in your eye, call your eye doctor ASAP.
Only if your doctor says so! Here's why you should think twice about taking a dip with your lenses.
Should you or shouldn't you? Take a look at the chart below to learn all the facts about sleeping in your contact lenses.

Fun Friday Night Recipes
Kick off the weekend with this easy meal
It's the end of a long, hard week. TGIF. We don't have to be up tomorrow at dawn so we can relax into the evening. As often as my husband and I can on Fridays, we do just that.
Sometimes we take in an early movie and go out for a quick bite. Sometimes we stay in and pop in a DVD. Unlike Saturday or Sunday, when we've got more time to food shop and prepare, Friday night's menu needs to be fast and fun! I have some recipes for you this week that are just that.
So fry up the egg rolls and shake up the cocktails. Once you start the lo mein, get the movie ready to go, because dinner is nearly done and a good night is just minutes away.
French Gimlet
Serves 2
If there's ever a night to enjoy a good cocktail, it's Friday. A French Gimlet is the perfect blend of all my favorites — gin, St. Germain and lime juice. If you don't have a bottle of St. Germain in your stash, buy one. Unlike a lot of syrupy liqueurs St. Germain — floral and not overly sweet — will not fade in the closet over the years. Made from wild elderflowers, it partners well with the gin's juniper while lime juice balances the sweetness. Shaken over ice, this drink is bracing, yet fresh, perfect with the appetizer and main course to come.
1/2 cup gin
1/4 cup St. Germain (elderflower liqueur)
2 tablespoons juice from 1 large lime
Pour all ingredients into an ice-filled cocktail shaker; shake well. Strain into a coupes or martini glasses and serve.
Next: Quick vegetable egg rolls. >>

Quick Vegetable Egg Rolls
Makes about 8 egg rolls, but recipe easily doubles
Egg rolls — you'd think they'd be hard to make. Not these. Check out the ingredient list. Besides frying oil, it's just 4 ingredients — coleslaw mix, peanut butter, scallions and egg roll wrappers. And here's the good news, you can par-fry the egg rolls ahead (a trick I learned at a Chinese restaurant a few years back). Once they're par-fried you can refrigerate them for a few days, so fry up half tonight and save the others for another night. When you're ready to enjoy them it's just two minutes from dropping them into the frying oil to dipping them into the sauce.
For added flavor and a great look, halve the egg rolls diagonally and dip each cut end into 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus another 2 cups for frying
1 package (8 ounces) coleslaw mix
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
8 egg-roll wrappers
Lime-Ginger Dipping Sauce (optional, see below)
Heat the 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium skillet until it starts to shimmer. Add coleslaw mix; stir-fry, seasoning lightly with salt, until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mixture into a medium bowl; stir in scallions and peanut butter until evenly distributed.
Place an egg-roll wrapper on a work surface, one of the point ends facing you. Place a generous 2 tablespoons of filling just below center, forming it into a log. Fold in both sides of the wrapper over filling. Starting at end closest to you, fold wrapper over filling, then roll it as tightly as you can; moisten wrapper end with wet fingertips and press it to the roll to seal.
Heat oil in a large saucepan or small Dutch oven to 300 degrees. Fry egg rolls, 4 at a time and turning once, until fried through, but still blond, about 2 minutes. Drain on a wire rack until ready to serve. (Par-fried egg rolls can be wrapped and refrigerated for several days.)
About 20 minutes before serving, heat oil again, this time to 375 degrees. Cook egg rolls, 4 at a time and turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or Lime-Ginger Dipping Sauce.
Lime-Ginger Dipping Sauce
Makes about 1/3 cup
Mix 2 tablespoons each: Asian fish sauce and lime juice; 1/2 teaspoon each: ground ginger and hot red pepper flakes; and 1 tablespoon each: sugar and water in a small bowl. Serve!
Next: Veggie lo mein. >>

Veggie Lo Mein
Serves 4
If you make spaghetti during the week, cook a big batch and save the leftovers for tonight's lo mein. The key to a good stir-fry is to get the skillet blistering hot and cook in batches. Otherwise you'll overcrowd the pan and the lo mein will stew instead of sear.
You can change out the vegetables — trade in a colorful red pepper for the mushrooms, asparagus for the broccoli — it all depends on what you've got around, what you've got a taste for.
8 ounces each: broccoli crowns, cut into small florets, and sliced mushrooms
1/2 box (8 ounces) spaghetti
7 to 8 ounces drained extra-firm tofu (1/2 package), cut into bite-size chunks
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 recipe Lo Mein Sauce (see below)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium-large onion, halved from pole to pole, each half cut into sixths
1 tablespoon each: medium fresh garlic and ginger
Bring 2 quarts of water and a generous sprinkling of salt to boil in large pot. Add broccoli; cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add spaghetti, cook, stirring frequently, until just tender; drain and set aside.
Toss tofu with soy. Mix Lo Mein Sauce.
Meanwhile, turn on vent and heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and the onion; stir-fry until crisp and spotty brown, about 1 minute. Add another tablespoon of oil and add mushrooms; stir-fry until just cooked, about 2 minutes. Add tofu; stir-fry until lightly browned, about 1 minute longer. Add broccoli; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add garlic and ginger; stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the empty skillet; heat until shimmering. Add spaghetti; stir-fry until heated through, about 2 minutes. Return vegetable mixture to pan, along with Lo Mein sauce; stir-fry to combine. Serve immediately.
Lo Mein Sauce
Enough for 1 recipe Veggie Lo Mein
Mix 1/4 cup each: low-sodium chicken broth and low-sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons each: rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon each: hot red pepper flakes and sugar.

The hilarious hit webcomic is finally coming to print! Dear Dinosaur is the internet's only advice column written from the point-of-view of a time-displaced "terrible lizard." Written and drawn by creator Ryan L. Schrodt, the webcomic was successfully launched at www.twoforonecomics.com in early 2012. With your help, the first print collection will be available this summer!
Dear Dinosaur will solve all of your problems--from avoiding disastrous dinner parties to snagging the girl of your dreams and beyond. I suppose it is worth noting that Dear Dinosaur actually hates humans and has little patience for their reliance on him to live their lives, but that doesn't stop him from dispensing his 65 million years' worth of knowledge to the "pathetic apes" seeking his help.
The volume one collection will include 22 strips from the first six months of the strip, plus exclusive pin-ups and strips that will only be found in the printed collection!
UPDATE = As we have passed the 100% mark, the additional funding that we are raising will not only go towards further printing and promotion of Dear Dinosaur, but will also go towards launching a series of minicomics for kids called MAKE/believe. The hand-assembled comics will be aimed towards young readers and sold at an affordable price at conventions (after all, little ones don't have a ton of cash!).
UPDATE #2 = Because we reached $1,000 raised, all backers will now receive the first MAKEbelieve mini-comic "Today I am a Pirate!" If we hit $1,250 all backers will receive the first two MAKEbelieve minicomics and if we hit $1,500, all backers will receive the first three MAKEbelieve minicomics!
With your help, we can print and promote Dear Dinosaur! All funds raised will go towards offsetting the cost of producing, printing, shipping, and promoting the comic. Funds raised above and beyond our goal will go towards the production of Volume Two…coming in 2013!
Dear Dinosaur Volume One will include pin-ups from Tara Coble, Kyle Shold (www.kyleshold.com, www.theprevailist.com), Kyle Benning (kylebenning.deviantart.com), and Ray Wegner (raywegnerart.blogspot.com)!
The regular cover for Dear Dinosaur Volume One will be created by the amazing Steve Bryant, creator of Athena Voltaire! You can check out Steve's work here: http://atomictiki.blogspot.com/. The convention variant will be drawn by creator Ryan Schrodt and can be seen below (in progress)!

I've read that pineapple is good for me. It's touted as a remedy for both osteoarthritis and amoebiasis. So I went and bought one.
Nothing usually goes to waste with me and I used the pineapple peel to make wine.
We ate a part of the ripe pineapple as fruit but a few pieces remained and I could not fob those off on my suspicious family (I share with my late Mother in Law a tendency to pursue family members around the house persuading them to finish off over ripe fruit and other leftovers).
The remaining handful or so of pineapple chunks were used to make Pineapple Rasam.
I did not follow this recipe. Here's what I did:
Pineapple rasam
Take the amount or part of the amount required to make instant rasam. Boil the pineapple chunks in that water or pressure cook them till they're soft. If you feel so inclined you can add some finely chopped onion too at this stage.Make the instant rasam with the above water and fruit and/or onion. I used a 2 Minutes Rasam paste from indirafoods but cannot find a link to it online.When the concoction comes to a boil add some tomato if you so desire but I did not as it might have become too sour.In the case of some instant rasam mixes you might need to add tamarind. However, this can always be substituted y adding some lime juice to taste when serving.Similarly, I added chopped garlic just before serving as I'm trying to take at least 6 cloves of raw garlic to tackle my tummy problems. Raw garlic is also said to be good for both the osteoarthritis as well as for the amoebiasis. And it tastes incredibly good when added raw, crushed, to a hot clear soup.
Garnish with a little chopped fresh coriander or cilantro leaves.BTW you can grow dhania (cilantro) from the seeds. Just crush them well between your palms before tossing into the mud. My Bai says one has to trample them underfoot.
And then there was some ground Channa dal with which I had intended to make parippu vadas. Since I was not too obedient to any recipe I must have done something wrong (Possibly I let the mixture sit for too long in the fridge after grinding) and the vadas kept breaking up in the hot oil. So I used the miserable mess of failed vadas and the remaining ground Channa dal to make
1 cup Channa dal, soaked overnight or for a few hours and coarsely ground so that there are many large pieces1 or 2 large onions roughly slicedA couple of green chilies or less depending on your tolerance1 t finely sliced fresh ginger1 T or less or omit, cloves of garlic -leave them whole or roughly chop1 t mustard seeds1 t cumin seedsa pinch of hing1 or 2 dried red chilies broken into bits-use according to tolerance1 or 2 T oil (groundnut is what I used)Use at least that much oil if not more-the onion slices should have enough oil to saute in.
MethodHeat the oil. Splutter the mustard, add the red chili and zeera. Do not let anything burn. Add a few curry leaves at this point if you have some fresh ones.Add the sliced onions and the rest of the stuff except the dal and saute till the onions are glazed and translucent.Add the dal and stir vigorously over a moderately hot fire.Add some salt to taste and garnish with chopped coriander.Serve both the dishes with hot sticky rice (make it sticky by using new rice and cooking it in a little extra water and for longer than your normal rice cooking time), and hot ghee.A good pickle served alongside will only enhance the decadence.

The historic furnishings and decorative arts in the museum collections date from the mid eighteenth to early twentieth century. The majority of the furnishings came into the house between 1837 and 1928, and were acquired by the Longfellow family by purchase, inheritance, or gift.
The Longfellows possessed a reverence for the past. For them, having antique objects and furniture stimulated their awareness of America's past and their house's association with George Washington and the American Revolution. The family's cosmopolitan interests are also reflected by many items from around the world within the rooms.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) skin rejuvenation uses your blood as a matrix to promote collagen growth and regenerate tissue, naturally helping your skin tone regain its bright, smooth, healthy and firm appearance. PRP has concentrations of platelets above baseline levels and contain at least seven growth factors. Normal blood contain only 6% platelets. However, in PRP, there is a concentration of 94% platelets, which translates to a powerful growth factor "cocktail" with a variety of growth factors and cytokines. This stimulates cellular proliferation and tissue regeneration to dramatically accelerate healing.
And since the platelets come from the patient's own blood, there is absolutely no possibility of infection or other side effects. The only precaution you need to take is to stop any anti-inflammatory medications while administering PRP.
PRP is used to improve:
• Fine wrinkles, eye wrinkles, wrinkles around mouth, forehead wrinkles.
• Skin pores and elasticity: reduction of skin pore size, improvement in skin elasticity and skin tone.
• Skin pigmentation disorders: skin whitening against hyper-pigmentation such as freckles, skin blemish, etc.
• Other applications: improvement in hair loss, chapped skin, burn wound, dark circle, etc.

"I'm not CIA. I'm a mother looking for her son." You may not be able to imagine Ashley Judd kicking serious butt. When you see the pilot for her new show "Missing," you'll change your tune pretty darn quick. Judd plays a mom, who's son is kidnapped while studying overseas. Her little secret? She's former C.I.A. and she'll do anything to get her son back.
In the clip we saw, Judd did some crazy fighting. It's hardly what you'd expect from her, but she takes to it like a duck to water. Judd says she used yoga to beef up her flexibility for the physicality in "Missing," saying she had to after spending about two years just sitting down and writing. "There was a fellow walking around earlier wearing a shirt that said, 'I do all my own stunts.' I said, "Why are you wearing my tee-shirt?'" She waxed poetic about falling off a bridge into the Seine river in Paris. Clearly she needs to get an action movie.
One of the themes of the Winter Press Tour this year was all of the producers talking about how they don't want to annoy viewers by leaving them with cliff hangers or overly complicating stories. Producer Grant Scharbo said that the first season will be 10 episodes (he said he sold it to Judd that way) and that 13 is their absolute clap. He stressed that you wouldn't be left with an open ending and that you'll have a perfect idea of where it's going next season.
Judd said the final episode was jaw-dropping for the cast when they did the read-through.
Finally we discussed Sean Bean, who can't seem to escape death in shows and films. Yes, Bean is dead, but we were promised that he'll be seen in flashbacks. Poor Sean Bean. Someday he'll live through Season 1.

Our jury system revolves around a jury's ability to debate freely, anonymously, and to make decisions without worrying about being second guessed. That is why it is almost impossible to attack a verdict based on how a juror deliberated, or how they made a decision.
But a recent U.S. Supreme Court case has dealt with the problem of what happens when a juror makes a decision based on prejudicial attitudes towards a race or nationality.
Juror Makes Prejudicial Comments
The case arose from the conviction of a man charged with sexually assaulting young girls. After the jury deliberated and convicted the defendant, a jury member took the attorney for the defendant aside and told him that one of the jurors had made prejudicial remarks about Mexicans while in the jury room. The comments were sufficient to indicate that the juror may have made his decision based on prejudice and stereotypes towards Mexicans, as opposed to the facts of the case.
The trial court agreed that the juror may well have been biased, but because the evidence rules protect jurors from being questioned as to their deliberations, the trial judge denied the defendant's requests for a new trial.
Supreme Court Discusses Impeaching Jurors
The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which noted that the evidence rule has traditionally allowed inquiry into jury deliberations, when jurors consulted outside sources in making their decision (for example, reading newspapers, or discussing the facts of a trial with family). The evidence rules traditionally make information about a juror's thought processes or decision making completely private.
When it comes to racial bias, courts had previously been split on whether evidence that a juror was biased can be inquired into by defense counsel. In fact, some courts had even refused to allow an attorney to impeach a juror's decision making, even when there was evidence that the juror may have been intoxicated during deliberations.
Still, the court noted that constitutional due process requires that racial animus be taken out of the court system, and that citizens get equal protection regardless of race or nationality. Unlike other cases of juror misconduct, race discrimination involves a problem the country has historically sought to remove from government systems.
Additionally, unlike other forms of juror bias which may be revealed during voir dire, many jurors will not actively disclose any racial animus that they may have. Thus, defendants often may not have the ability to avoid racial discrimination, if jurors could not be impeached after a trial where there is evidence of discrimination.
Supreme Court Decides New Trial Warranted
Thus, the Court held that if there is evidence that racial bias affected a juror's decision making or otherwise prevented a defendant from getting a fair trial, the juror can be questioned, and a new trial must be given. A juror cannot hide behind the traditional protections from being questioned about deliberations.
The statements by the juror must be overtly biased, and that they were a motivating factor in the juror's decision to convict. Here, the statement by the juror fit that description.
Picking and dealing with a jury can win or lose a criminal trial. Contact the attorneys of Brassel Alexander, LLC today for a free consultation to discuss your case.

My mother served in Baghdad, Iraq for 12 months in 2006-2007. She left about two weeks after I got married and was still gone when I found out I was pregnant. Luckily, she was home about three months before my daughter was born. It was incredibly difficult not to have my mom during such an important time in my life. While my hubby was there for me while I was pregnant, he didn't understand why I was being such a hormonal lunatic all the time.
My mom at her MOB station in Wisconsin. She carried a loaded rifle with her everywhere she went in Iraq. It's hard to imagine my soft-spoken, sweet mother packing heat.
Mom in Iraq
My little brother also served in Balad, Iraq for about three months. While he wasn't gone as long as my mom, his girlfriend thought it was the end of the world. We all missed him. He came home with a hardcore mustache. We were still proud of him though.
My little brother just before he left for Iraq with my little munchkin
My little brother was so proud of the new 'stache he grew when in Iraq. It lasted about 2 weeks when he got home.
I continue to be so appreciative of the service of our soldiers and military families, especially those so close to me!

GI Joe Action Figure Doll
This guy belongs to my husband. And make no mistake, according to Hasbro and pop-culture this is no doll. This is a GI Joe Action Figure. Hasbro first started making these dolls, I mean action figures, in 1964. This particular "Action Soldier" is from its founding year and seemingly goes for some coin on eBay. … More GI Joe Action Figure Doll

I'm told the best celebration takes place at the Rhine falls near Schaffhausen. Fireworks, beautiful lights and lots of people are part of this fun. I've been to Rhine falls a few times but never on August 1st.
