When federal agents swooped into a swanky Cherry Hills Village home last week as part of widespread raids tied to medical-marijuana businesses, they found a person inside holding a loaded gun, according to a court document unsealed Monday.
By the time they were done searching the $1.3 million home Thursday, agents had collected five assault-style rifles, five handguns, a shotgun and a "large cache of ammunition," according to the document. It did not identify the person with the gun.
One person was detained and later arrested on suspicion of weapons violations, authorities announced Monday. As part of their investigation, agents had obtained an e-mailed photograph that appears to show that man, 49-year-old Hector Diaz, holding two semi-automatic rifles while wearing a Drug Enforcement Administration ball cap.
The details on the raids — disclosed for the first time Monday — come from an affidavit in the criminal case against Diaz and provide new context for the largest federal operation against medical-marijuana businesses ever in Colorado. Agents executed "approximately 15" search warrants during the raids, the affidavit states. Sources have told The Denver Post that the raids — which a search warrant shows targeted 10 men — were part of an investigation into a single enterprise that detectives believe may have ties to Colombian drug cartels.
Diaz, a Colombian national, was charged with a single count of possessing a firearm after having been admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa. He could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Appearing in court Monday afternoon, Diaz was advised of the charge against him and ordered held until at least Wednesday, when a hearing will determine whether he should be released and at which time more information about the raids will likely be disclosed.
The raids focused especially on stores, cultivation warehouses and individuals connected to the VIP Cannabis dispensary in Denver. On Sunday, an attorney for one of the owners of the dispensary sent a letter to Colorado U.S. Attorney John Walsh proclaiming his client's innocence. Attorney Sean McAllister wrote that his client, Gerardo Uribe, did nothing wrong under state law and "will be vindicated by a full review of this matter."
"The search warrants were executed against lawfully operating medical marijuana dispensaries under state law," McAllister wrote. McAllister wrote that Uribe intends to cooperate in the investigation and is willing to meet with investigators.
The raids are not the first time, however, the people associated with VIP Cannabis have been accused publicly of marijuana misdeeds.
A lawsuit filed last month in Denver claims Gerardo Uribe and two other men named in the search warrant, Luis Uribe and Felix Perez, have not made good on hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to three men for the purchases of a dispensary on East Colfax Avenue and a grow warehouse on Elizabeth Street. The suit also alleges that the Uribes and Perez were suspected of hiding profits and product from their marijuana businesses and selling marijuana out of state.
"Marijuana product is unaccounted for, proceeds from the dispensary are unaccounted for and Plaintiffs assume that the Defendants have stolen product and money from them," the lawsuit states. Another section of the suit alleges: "Plaintiffs believe that the Defendants may be transacting business with people in other states and do not want to reveal what the businesses are really making or who they are conducting business with."
One plaintiff in the lawsuit is Jared Bringhurst, who is named as one of the investigation's targeted subjects in the search warrant obtained by The Denver Post. Bringhurst wrote in an e-mail to The Post late Thursday that he has no involvement in the case and has sold all of his interests in the raided businesses.
In a response to the suit, the Uribes and Perez deny the allegations.
Other lawsuits also provide a glimpse into the high-dollar business of marijuana in which the raid targets were involved.
A lawsuit filed this year in Jefferson County accuses businesses controlled by Luis Uribe and another person named as a target in the search warrant, Carlos Solano, of not paying up on the purchase of a cultivation facility. In a settlement reached in September, Uribe and Solano agreed to pay $90,000 to the plaintiffs.
In both suits, the defendants were represented by attorney David Furtado — who is also named as a target in the search warrant. In 2011, a Douglas County woman who said Furtado set up a marijuana-growing operation in her garage sued Furtado, Gerardo Uribe, Solano and others, alleging she was misled. Furtado acknowledged setting up the grow in her garage — even though it was against Douglas County zoning rules to do so. But he denied misleading the woman.
Furtado was eventually awarded more than $600,000 in damages and attorney's fees after the woman failed to respond to his counter-claims, court records show.

Thermo Scientific™ ImmunoCAP™ Grass Pollen Allergens
Measure specifc IgE antibodies using ImmunoCAP™ allergens, an essential tool to aid in the diagnosis of allergic conditions.
Supplier: Thermo Scientific™ 14413101
Quantify specific IgE antibodies with ImmunoCAP™ Grass Pollen Allergens, essential tools to aid in the diagnosis of allergic conditions. IgE antibodies appear in human serum and plasma as a result of sensitization to a specific allergen. Measurement of circulating IgE antibodies provides an objective assessment of sensitization to an allergen. In general, low IgE antibody levels indicate a low probability of allergic disease, whereas high antibody levels to an allergen show a higher correlation with an allergic disease.
ImmunoCAP Specific IgE offers the laboratory:- Truly quantitative measuring range from 0.1 to 100 kUA/L
- Intra-assay CV (%) comparable to routine clinical chemistry immunoassays
- Excellent consistency over time, and between countries, systems, labs and persons
ImmunoCAP Specific IgE detects IgE antibodies in the range 0.1 to 100 kUA /l, where A represents allergen-specific antibodies. The result is reported quantitatively. In clinical practice, 0.35 kUA /l has commonly been used as a cut-off. A large number of studies have been performed to evaluate the clinical performance of ImmunoCAP Specific IgE tests in allergy diagnosis. Clinical performance is expressed as sensitivity, ranging from 84 to 95%, and specificity, ranging from 85 to 94%. Sensitivity and specificity were reported from multi-center studies including several hundred patients tested for a range of different allergens.
- Specimen collection and preparation
- Use serum and plasma (EDTA or heparin) samples from venous or capillary blood
- Collect blood samples using standard procedures
- Keep specimens at room temperature (RT) for shipping purposes only
- Store at 2–8°C up to one week, otherwise store at –20°C
- Avoid repeated freezing and thawing
Note: Blood samples for testing ImmunoCAP drugs and venom should be collected during or close to the event, preferably not later than 6 months after exposure. If the test result is negative and an IgE-mediated reaction is still strongly suspected, it is advisable to draw a new sample and repeat the test at 5 to 6 weeks.
The presence of specific IgE antibodies is useful to identify the allergens that elicit symptoms and signs of allergy in patients with respiratory allergic diseases including asthma, food allergy, and anaphylactic sensitivity.
Knowing IgE antibody levels provides guidance to clinicians to:
- Identify offending allergens
- Tailor advice to individual patients
- Indicate development of tolerance (food allergy, specific immunotherapy)
- Inform optimized individual medical treatment plans
- Refer to specialists appropriately
- Evaluate whether or not specific immunotherapy is an option
- The allergy march – a progression of skin symptoms to respiratory symptoms
- Severe symptoms including asthma exacerbations – a progression of mild symptoms to severe symptoms
- Progression of recurrent symptoms to persistent symptoms

A live recording session for It Must Be Dusty take place at ITV, Elstree Studios, Studio D in Borehamwood. Included in the recordings are "Stone Free," "Mockingbird" (with both Hendrix and Springfield on vocals), and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)." The 15-minutes of recordings are later broadcast on July 12, 1968.
Buddy Miles, Mike Finnigan, Larry Faucette and Freddy Smith joined Hendrix in New York City's Record Plant studios to record "Rainy Day, Dream Away." Additional jams were also recorded in the studio, but are merely labeled on the surviving tape box as "Blow." Hendrix also completes a series of overdubs and mixes for "Voodoo Chile," "House Burning Down," and "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)." Also present in the studio on this date is Velvert Turner.

However, the master list of tape boxes from the Record Plant sesssions refers to a track titled, "Inside Out" as having been recorded on this date. It has been reported that Buddy Miles, Jack Bruce and Jim McCarty may have joined Hendrix in the studio on this date.

Senate Democrats rally for Susan Rice against GOP opposition
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Democrats rallied to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's defense as Republicans said they were even more troubled by her account of the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and signaled they would try to scuttle her nomination if President Barack Obama tapped her as the next secretary of state.
"The personal attacks against Ambassador Rice by certain Republican senators have been outrageous and utterly unmoored from facts and reality," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who called the criticism unfathomable in light of disclosures from the intelligence community.
As congressional Democrats and the Obama administration delivered a full-throated defense of the possible diplomatic nominee, Rice was meeting Wednesday with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Bob Corker of Tennessee. Corker is next in line for the top GOP spot on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"We'll see and we're going to sit down and talk to her," Corker told The Associated Press. "She always delivers the party line, the company line, whatever the talking points are. I think most of us hold the secretary of state and secretary of treasury to a whole different level. We understand that they're going to support the administration, but we also want to know that they are independent enough, when administration is off-base, that they are putting pressure. I think that's what worries me most about Rice."
Rice answered questions Tuesday from Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte about her much-maligned explanations about the cause of the September attack in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
At the hour-plus, closed-door session, Rice conceded that her initial account - that a spontaneous demonstration over an anti-Muslim video triggered the attack - was wrong, but she insisted she had not been trying to mislead the American people when she made her comments five days later.
"The talking points provided by the intelligence community, and the initial assessment upon which they were based, were incorrect in a key respect: There was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi," Rice said in a statement after the meeting. "While we certainly wish that we had had perfect information just days after the terrorist attack, as is often the case the intelligence assessment has evolved."
She was joined in the meeting by Acting CIA Director Michael Morell.
Rice requested the meeting with the three senators - her most outspoken critics - but she failed to mollify them and they indicated they would try to block her nomination.
"We are significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got and some that we didn't get concerning evidence that was leading up to the attack on the consulate," McCain told reporters after a session with Rice that he described as candid.
Said Graham, "Bottom line, I'm more disturbed now than I was before that 16 Sept. explanation." He said in a later interview that Rice went "far beyond the flawed talking points" and should be held accountable.
"I'm more troubled today," said Ayotte, who argued that it was clear in the days after the attack that it was terrorism and not a spontaneous demonstration.
Rice's unusual visit to Capitol Hill - typically only nominees meet privately with lawmakers - reflects the Obama administration's campaign for the current front-runner to replace Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton against some strenuous GOP opposition.
The White House remained defiant in its support for Rice, arguing that she was relying on an assessment from the intelligence community and had no responsibility in compiling the information on the cause of the attack. It dismissed what it characterized as a fixation on her national television appearances five days after the raid.
"The focus on, some might say, obsession on comments made on Sunday shows seems to me, and to many, to be misplaced," Obama spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at a White House briefing.
House Democrats, including female members of the Congressional Black Caucus, have suggested that the GOP opposition to Rice is sexist and racist. Senate Democrats, who will increase their advantage to 55-45 in the next Congress, said Rice could win confirmation if Republicans recognize the unfairness of penalizing her for the intelligence community's talking points.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., told reporters "it is so unfair to hold her responsible for something that she didn't produce and which the intelligence community has specifically stood by."
In a statement late Tuesday, McCain, Graham and Ayotte said Morell told them the FBI had removed references to al-Qaida in the talking points to prevent compromising ongoing investigations. Later in the day, the three senators said the CIA contacted them to say Morell misspoke and the CIA had deleted the references.

Hawk 65-82 Chevrolet Corvette Blue 9012 Race Front/Rear Brake Pads Part # HB126E.505
Application: 65-82 Chevrolet Corvette Blue 9012
Hawk Performance has dominated Motorsports race tracks for more than 15 years, offering highly-engineered friction products for nearly every type of racing!
Blue-42 ('EE' Compound Code)
Intermediate initial bite, increased mid Mu characteristics, and low to mid-temperature range.
Black ('M' Compound Code)
Medium torque and temperature compound designed to be a good, all-purpose low- cost racing brake pad.
DR97 ('J' Compound Code)
Excellent static and dynamic coecient of friction. Smooth linear torque. Low pad and rotor wear. For use in drag racing.
MT 4 ('L' Compound Code)
Medium/High torque and temperature compound with medium/high initial bite. For circle track cars under 2800 lbs without high deceleration rates.
Metallic ('MB' Compound Code)
High torque with linear in-braking characteristics across temperature ranges, allowing the driver to brake harder, longer without sacrificing the life of the pad.
HT-10 ('S' Compound Code)
Intermediate to high torque with a smooth initial bite. Very consistent pedal feel. Excellent modulation and release characteristics.
Hawk Performance burnishes its HP Plus brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.

My hair has been a MESS lately. The aftermath of pregnancy is killing me! ha! My hair has been falling out in clumps leaving me with a HUGE bald spot at my crown, a forehead full of baby bangs and my gray roots are out of control. (My hair is completley 100% gray/white and has been for about 10 years which is why (if you have been wondering) my natural color is dark brown and now I am a blonde).
So today I got it done. And Harper went with me. I was more than a little nervous about how this would work but I couldn't leave her with anyone. Thankfully - she slept for about an hour and the rest of the time she sat in my lap and just looked around and smiled. I think she "gets" the price of beauty. She likes to watch me put on my makeup every morning.
She understands that I do not just roll out of bed looking the way you normally see me. ha! (Can you believe I just posted that picture - I am NOT a proud woman).
When we got home - Nonny was here for a visit!! She and I are taking a little day trip tomorrow and we have a few fun things planned including meeting some "mama" bloggers who are both "Big"-time and "Boo"eautiful. (SO EXCITING!)
Amanda who I ate lunch with last week has started a prayer blog for NICU babies! If you have requests - go visit HERE and give them to her. I'll also keep the link on my left sidebar. There is also a link called "others" that is a great resource for prayer requests. I am not going to quit posting prayer requests - I just worry sometimes that I might be overloading ya'll. I don't want it to reach a point where you feel so overwhelmed that you just don't pray at all. That's why I just have this sense that I need to step back from it for a short time. But even if we pray in blanket prayers - God hears us and knows the needs.

I had been seeing a few lemon yogurt cakes around that looked good and I was thinking that the rest of my meyer lemons would go well in one. Recently I have been trying to clear some space in my freezer and I came across some blueberries that I had frozen in the summer. I really like the lemon and blueberry flavour combo and I could not resist adding the blueberries to the lemon yogurt cake. With he cake down the only thing that was left was the topping. I was thinking about going with a simple lemon glaze when I came across a bookmark for a lemon blueberry cake with a limoncello glaze on Dragon's Kitchen that sounded great! The lemon yogurt cake with blueberries was really easy to make, though it took a bit longer than I expected. (I think that was because I used still frozen blueberries.) The toothpick test worked and the cake came out perfectly baked even though it took a little longer. The cake was nice and light fluffy and moist and infused with blueberry and lemony goodness! The limoncello added a really nice zing to the lemon glaze that finished the cake off nicely. I think that I will be having this cake for breakfasts for the rest of the week and I am certainly looking forward to them.
Lemon Yogurt Cake with Blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon limoncello (or more lemon juice)
- lemon zest to garnish
- Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Mix the lemon zest, yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla extract in another bowl.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients.
- Mix in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan.
- Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean, about an hour.
- Mix the confectioners sugar, lemon juice and limoncello and pour over the cake after it has cooled.

KABUL, Afghanistan: Afghan models paraded down a candle-lined catwalk on Friday as men and women watched from the audience in a restaurant off a muddy street in Kabul.
The rare fashion show in this war-weary capital was a small production but a big idea — part of an Afghan group's efforts to empower women by breaking down barriers in this highly conservative Muslim society.
"The situation always gets tougher and tougher every day by day, but we should not back down. We are here to move on and move forward, so I think if women step up and they show up in this field, I think they will do a good job," said Shahar Banoo Zeerak, the designer whose clothes were featured in the show.
The idea of women on display remains mostly taboo in Afghanistan more than a decade after the 2001 US assault that ousted the Taliban from power after a five-year reign of terror by the fundamentalist movement.
Some women still don't go outside without wearing blue burqas that cover them from head to toe. Violence against women is still common in Afghanistan, and there are reports of women being stoned, executed in public or imprisoned for having affairs with men. Women have even set themselves on fire to escape domestic violence.
Friday's fashion show was organised by Young Women for Change, an independent, non-profit Afghan organisation committed to empowering Afghan women and improving their lives.
Most of the 10 models, including three young men, who showed off 33 designs including colourful short-sleeved dresses, jeans, tunics and more traditional outfits — were Afghan women who volunteer for the group.
One of them, 17-year-old Farkhonda Taheri, had never even seen a fashion show before. She said her father and other family members were supportive of her decision to participate, but her grandmother was not happy.
"The biggest challenge for us is that we cannot do these things in Afghanistan because people do not like it," she said afterward. "I was excited because I felt I am going to bring a change."
She said it was important for Afghan youths to take risks to bring change as the country struggles to achieve a semblance of normalcy, with international combat forces preparing to withdraw by the end of 2014.
"Who will bring the peace? We are going to bring it. Afghans. The new generation," Taheri said.
There have been a few other fashion shows in Afghanistan, but most were geared towards an international audience and seldom featured Afghan women or a mixed Afghan audience. Reflecting the obstacles, the organisers did not permit local Afghan media to film the event to protect the women, who on occasion appeared without headscarves and in short skirts.
"It may not be perfect and professional but it's a beginning," said Salma Gul, the 26-year-old tailor who made the clothes.
Organisers said they had two reasons for staging the show despite fears of violence in a country that sees frequent bombings and suicide attacks, often against targets deemed un-Islamic by extremists. One was to raise money for the advocacy group and the other was to gradually change attitudes toward women.
A spokesman for the advocacy group, Mohammad Zafar Salehi, said they earned more than $1,000 (Dh3,672) from the show, which sold tickets and drew mostly group members and friends.
"We want to change the mindset of the people but at the same time I worry about the security of the girls," he said as the famous Afghan rock band Morchaha performed in another room. "I believe in a change that can be slow."

"Haru" or "haruchan" was my nickname on MakeupAlley and Cozycot, so I adopted it for the blog. "Haru" means "spring" in Japanese, and is a common name in Japan, as well as the name of a character in one of my favourite Japanese drama, "真夏のメリークリスマス" (Manatsu no Merry Christmas). My real name, as many of you know by now, is Iris and I am a Singaporean of Chinese descent. I've lived in the UK, US and Japan and officially been a makeup addict for about 10 years now (and member of MakeupAlley since Dec 2001!).
Rouge Deluxe's primary objective is a simple one, to write about the beauty brands and products that I love and anything else that happens to catch my interest at the moment, be it clothes, shoes, food, magazines or travel. It is not a money-making tool which is why there are absolutely zero ads on the blog. I like to keep things simple and prefer not to have to worry about my blog stats, number of page views and hits etc. Anything that I receive from companies to review is stated clearly and upfront, and I never do paid reviews or advertorials. I have a full-time job which finances my beauty habit (fortunately!) but for reasons of privacy, I do not answer questions about my profession on my blog. My blog is purely my hobby and I intend to keep it as that.
For ladies who are contemplating starting your own beauty blog, here's some advice based on what I've learnt over the past 3+ years of blogging. Please feel free to take it or leave it, as your objectives, perspective and values could well be very different from mine.
1. Find your own niche: Figure out what you want your blog to be about and what you would like to focus on. Is it just about posting information on new collections/sales/events or do you want to offer more in-depth product reviews? For me, there's nothing more boring than a blog that just copies new collection info from other blogs.
2. Develop your own style: The blogs that are the most memorable and interesting to read are those that develop a unique style, that is instantly identifiable with the individual blogger. It can be the way that you write, how you organise your product reviews, the personality that comes across in your posts, your other personal interests etc. Some bloggers take this to the extreme and it can become more of a turn-off but you can't please everyone.
3. Get the fundamentals right: That means getting your grammar and language right. Some bloggers write in the style of instant phone/text messaging, with the attendant bad spelling and acronyms. That may be their 'style' but to me, it just comes across as lazy writing. Some of the grammar and spelling is so atrocious, I've had friends ask me if that blogger is even educated! Just as people will judge you by your outward appearance (clothes, makeup, hair etc), it is only natural that people will also judge you by how you speak and write. Some of the most common mistakes I see are bloggers who can't tell the difference between "its" versus "it's", "complementary" versus "complimentary", or "advise" versus "advice". It's just poor form and presentation. Ask yourself if that is really how you want to present yourself to the world?
4. Grow a thick skin: The online community is like high school with its cliques and immature, petty or jealous people who think nothing of throwing insults and abuse at total strangers just because they think they are shielded by the anonymity of the Internet. Writing a beauty blog, especially one in which you post pictures of yourself, invites the inevitable "hater". For that reason, some beauty bloggers do not post pictures of themselves and I can understand that. But I find that the best and most useful beauty blogs are still those where you can actually see how the products are used on the blogger, often in very creative ways that provide a great source of inspiration. Ultimately, it depends on your own comfort level and how self-confident you are in dealing with the inevitable crappy comments that will come your way. To me, haters are like rude drivers in Singapore. They will always be around heckling you but just ignore them and move on.
5. Moderate your comments: This is so that people don't get free license to crap all over your blog or spam your blog with ads. I do delete comments that are purely hateful or offensive. These people are basically just itching to get a reaction and I will not allow them to spew their negativity on my blog. Recently, a reader left a comment asking me if another blogger (who is a friend) was slimmer in real life. Erm, why would I ever answer a question like that?! If a reader is just plain rude, I have no qualms about telling them off in my reply (see Tokyo Banana post).
6. Be honest: I believe that most readers are well-informed and have a good 'bullshit detector'. If you are just shilling a product for a company, it shows quite easily, especially if the blog post is nothing more than a regurgitation of the official press release. If readers wanted only a gushing review, they would read a magazine instead of a blog. Readers visit blogs because they want more honest, unbiased product reviews. They usually just want to know the basics: does it work, is it worth the price, how/where can I get it? If you come across as gushing over a product only because you received it for free, or are being paid to write about it, at the end of the day, your own credibility gets undermined.
7. Be committed: Blogging on a regular basis takes a lot of time and energy, not just in terms of finding new topics or products to write about but also how to write about them in an interesting, informative way. Doing it on a consistent and regular basis is one of the most important ways of developing a loyal readership. It can be difficult if you have a demanding full-time job or other life priorities but doing anything worthwhile and doing it well takes patience and commitment. For me, I blog mainly at night and on the weekends as that is when I have the most free time but some bloggers prefer to take the whole weekend off. If you are taking an extended break from blogging or plan to stop altogether, at least have the courtesy to inform your readers. Just abandoning your blog without any notice is poor manners to anyone who takes the time to visit your blog. Beauty Addict used to be one of the most established beauty blogs and was even mentioned in the New York Times, but quite a few readers left angry comments on her blog when she just disappeared for extended periods of time without warning.
Personally, the greatest reward about blogging is being able to develop friendships across the world. I've met some truly wonderful ladies thanks to the blog. It is also very gratifying when I receive comments from readers saying how much they appreciate and enjoy the blog. My goal is not to be the best and biggest, only to be useful to my readers, wherever they may be in the world. I check my blog stats only every other month or so, and am always surprised to see the countries that my readers are located in.
Alright, that's quite a long and wordy post (without any pics to boot) so I'll stop here. Do feel free to leave a comment or ask any questions in the comments section! Although if your question is about how to increase blog traffic and revenue, I seriously have no advice in that respect.

This week on the podcast we're discussing why strong passwords aren't enough to keep you safe online anymore, Craigslist keeps ruining its reputation, and how to stay productive when you're expected to be available all the time. Also, we're answering your questions about password management, dual-booting, and remote torrenting.
NOTE: We've decided to end the video version of the podcast. Aside from video being a lot of extra work, we wanted to be able to bring you the podcast in a more timely manner. To do video, we needed to record everything almost five days in advance. With just audio, we can post just hours after recording and, potentially, stream it live for anyone who wants to listen in. There are several more advantages this flexibility affords and will hopefully allow us to grow the podcast in some awesome new ways. All of that said, we're not giving up on video entirely. In the coming weeks we're going to work on new ways to bring special video content to you through the podcasts feeds. If you're a video subscriber, stay subscribed and you'll get more from us soon. Also, be sure to subscribe to the audio podcast feed so you'll continue getting updates. Thanks for listening!

News and Discussion
Strong Passwords Aren't Enough: You Need Two-Factor Authentication
You may have heard, but Wired writer Matt Honan was the victim of account hacking, and it wasn't due to a weak password. This week on the podcast we're spending a little time to discuss what else you should do (two-factor authentication) to secure your account, and you can read the full how-to for more information. Also, if you're a little hesitant about the inconveniences of two-factor authentication, developer Matt Cutts can dispel the common myths for you.
Search Gmail and the Web at the Same Time
Another Google feature is in beta and, as usual, everyone is asking the standard question: "cool or creepy?" This new feature allows you to search the web and Gmail at the same time. This is helpful if you have relevant emails, and it's not like your mail appears in anyone else's searches. If you're sharing a computer, however, you might be providing access to personal data you don't want to.
Craigslist Is Acting Like a Jerk
Craigslist has been sending cease and desist orders, in addition to law suits, to third-party developers who make use of their data. While there are certainly ways someone could create an app that sucked up the data and stole it from Craigslist, in most cases the sites are still sending traffic back to the Craigslist site. It should be a win-win for everyone, but Craigslist doesn't seem to think so. I wrote an open complaint about the situation and a few ideas on what we can do about it. My hope is that Craigslist and the developers they're targeting can come to a compromise and work together so their mutual users benefit, rather than throwing us all under the bus.
The FCC Forces Verizon to Allow Third-Party Tethering Apps
Last week the FCC forced Verizon to allow third-party tethering apps on the phones they sell. The decision itself is a little complicated, but Alan makes sense of it all.
Staying Productive in a Demanding World
It's hard to stay productive when you're on demand to everyone in the office, seemingly 24/7. Alan offers some suggestions so you don't lose your mind. If that's not enough, he also explains the science behind power napping and why it can help you improve your productivity in the latter half of your workday.
Questions and Answers
Each week we answer five questions from readers and listeners. Here's what we tackled this week.
Is there any way for me to start torrents on my MacBook whilst I'm away from it using my iPhone?
Reader Maxwell asks if there's a way he can start torrents remotely, via his iPhone. In fact, there is! You can accomplish this with uTorrent's web interface and Dropbox.
Where should I keep track of all my different passwords on all my accounts?
With security in the news this week, we wanted to answer a question about securely storing your passwords. Every one of us uses Lastpass for the job, as they've long been a great, reliable service.
How Can I Dual-Boot Windows and Linux?
Like this. The post is a little old, but the how-to still stands. Whitson offers his knowledge on the podcast as well, so listen in for more.
Downloads of the Week
Each week we talk about our favorite downloads. Here are our picks for this week.
Windows and iOS: Clips
Clips is a jailbreak tweak that makes it simple to sync whatever you copy to the clipboard with your computer, helping to bridge the gap between your mobile devices and your desktop.
Download Clips (Search for it on Cydia)
OS X: Candybar
CandyBar is a customization tool for OS X that lets you customize the Dock appearance and layout, change the notification icons under running apps, change Finder system icons, and in general really tweak your Mac to look the way you want it. Panic, the developers behind the app, have updated it to support OS X Mountain Lion, dropped support for the app, and they're giving it away for free.
Android: Current Caller ID
Current Caller ID is a free utility for Android that turns every incoming call into a dashboard full of information about the caller, complete with social updates, weather where they are, the name and details of the caller, and more. If you miss a call or decline it, the app will even help you understand the best time to call the person back based on their location and the last time you spoke to them.
iOS: Burner
Burner generates short-term, disposable phone numbers for voice calls and SMS messages, and then masks your outgoing calls and messages behind that number. If you've ever wanted to call or text someone but didn't necessarily want them to have your phone number-like a potential roomie you met on Craigslist, someone you just sold an old PC to on eBay, or even an annoying ex, this app is for you.
Everybody: Lifehacker Student Packs
Every year we put together a list of our Lifehacker App packs for each operating system. In the spirit of those lists we figured it was time to put together a list for students getting ready for school. Whether you're on Windows, Mac, iPhone, or Android, we've got you covered.
Check out the Lifehacker Packs for Students
How Do I Submit a Question?
There are three ways to send in your question:
Call (347) 687-8109 and record a question. Calls are awesome! We like them!
Email your question to [email protected].
Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!

What to Look for in Sunglasses
All sunglasses are designed to shield your eyes from bright sunlight. Many sunglasses go a step beyond and also promise protection from ultraviolet (UV) light rays and other types of natural radiation from the sun. Protecting your eyes from these damaging rays is essential for keeping your eyes healthy. Choosing the right pair of sunglasses can make all the difference.
What Should You Look for in Sunglasses?
Color and style are not the most important factors in choosing sunglasses. Their ability to block light and harmful UV rays matters most.
Sunglasses should block 99 to 100 percent of UV rays. Look for sunglasses with this feature. Both plastic and glass lenses can absorb some UV light. UV absorption is greatly improved, however, in sunglasses where a special coating is applied to the lens or a chemical is added to the materials in the lens during production.
Check lenses to make sure they also block out enough visible sunlight. A good pair of sunglasses should block out at least 75 percent of visible sunlight. The lens should be dark enough to obscure your own eyes.
Buying wraparound sunglasses can further enhance eye protection. These type of sunglasses block light from entering in around your temples and further limits exposure to dangerous UV rays.
Quality Matters with Sunglasses
Sunglasses have plenty of extra features that can enhance their ability to protect your eyes. Consult with your eye care professional to see what features will help protect your eyes from being damaged.
Some eyeglasses feature polarized lenses. These are helpful in reducing glare from light bouncing off water, snow or paved surfaces. Sunglasses made with polarized lenses are especially useful when driving, boating, bicycling or doing other outdoor activities.
If you are looking for sunglasses that will work in outdoors and indoors, photochromic glass lenses can offer a good solution. The photochromic lens automatically darkens when exposed to bright light and becomes lighter again in low light. This feature is popular with people who already need to wear prescription eyeglasses to improve their vision.
Select impact resistant sunglasses. No lens is totally immune from breaking. Plastic lenses are much more durable, however, than glass lenses when struck by a hard object. They are less likely to shatter and cause potential injuries. Longer lasting eyeglasses will do more to keep your eyes from suffering long-term damage related to sunlight exposure.

Sunglasses Are Necessary for Certain Eye Conditions
Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory. If you suffer from certain eye diseases or conditions, they are an important tool for preventing serious damage to your eyes.
Long-term UV exposure increases the risk of macular degeneration – a leading cause for blindness as people age. UV rays can also cause or worsen cataracts. Eyes are also vulnerable after cataract surgery because the replacement lens blocks less UV rays naturally.
Consult your eye care professional to see what type of sunglasses you may need if you suffer from any serious eye conditions.

I'd like to start with something I wrote back in March of 2005. It's a little story about how a baseball started a day of chaos with my kids. I used the story to sell the baseball as an auction on Ebay. I don't know what possessed me to make an auction of it, but I did. Now, I believe things happen for a reason. For example - you slip and fall because the kids have poured soap all over the kitchen floor. When you fall to the ground, you see your car keys, that have been missing for two days, shoved under the oven. If the kids hadn't poured soap on the floor, you wouldn't have fallen and had you not fallen, it could've been years before finding your car keys. See? Things happen for a reason.
Anyway, I auctioned off a dirty old, used baseball on Ebay. My auction attracted the attention of over 220,000 people and I ended up selling the ball for $1125.00! And, best of all, I received emails from thousands of people telling me that I should write a book about parenting. At first, I thought to myself - now how am I going to find the time to write a book? I barely have time to write a check to the grocery store to cover the cost of the damage my kids did on our last shopping trip! I also wondered if I could think of enough things about which to write. And really, I'm the last person on earth who should write a book about parenting, unless it's a book on what NOT to do.
So, instead of writing a book, I decided to find a couple minutes a day to blog. Oh yes, and the fear that I wouldn't be able to think of enough things about which to write? Well, I don't think I'll ever run out of ideas as my kids happily provide me with fresh, new material every day.
I think an appropriate way to start off this blog is with a copy of that fateful Ebay listing, I hope you enjoy it!
I'm selling the baseball that started my wonderful first day of spring break. Do you want to know why I'm selling the baseball that started off my wonderful first day of spring break? Only because Ebay won't let me sell my kids who were playing with the baseball that started my wonderful day. Is spring break over yet?! Here's the whole story...
First, my boys (10 year old and 6 year old) decided it would be a good idea to play baseball in their room instead of getting up and watching tv like normal kids. Well, let me tell you, it is NEVER a good thing to awake to the sound of crashing glass. Thankfully, it was just their light and not the window this time. So, I go to clean up the glass in the boys' room when I hear those delightful words, "Mooooooom, Lexi tried to flush her pull-up in the toilet and water's EVERYWHERE!"
Grrr, ok, the broken glass gets put on hold while I get the mop for the bathroom and try to dislodge the soggy diaper that's stopping up the toilet. Let me tell you - this is not fun stuff when you haven't even had your coffee yet! Before I can clean up the waterlogged bathroom, the baby starts crying. Sooo, I leave the bathroom mess to grab the baby and change his diaper. The diaper pail is full, so I pull the bag of dirty diapers out and start for the door so I can dump them outside before the toxic smell kills us all. Do I make it outside? Noooo, of course not. I get side tracked by my 3 year old who is finger painting on the TV with yogurt.
Lovely. Let's recap - Broken glass in the boys' room, Flooded toilet, Smelly diapers, Yogurt covered TV, and it's only 9:00.
OK, I put the baby in his highchair, toss him some Cheerios, throw the diapers outside, grab the glass cleaner and get to work on the TV all the while yelling at my 6 year old to get dressed. Does he get dressed? Nooooo. Instead, he takes out my 10 year old's hermit crab to "play with it". He gets scared and drops the poor crab who scurries away into the pile of clothes and toys and STUFF that permanently covers the floor of the boys' room. Will the fun never end? So, I start searching among all the stuff and broken glass for the crab.
In the meantime, my 3 year old takes out the maple syrup and pours it on the tray of the highchair. By the time I find the crab and return him to the relative safety of his tank, the baby is glued to the highchair with maple syrup. It's covering his jammies, his hands, his hair, and the curtains that he's able to reach from his chair. Lucky me. Before throwing the baby in the tub, I take down the curtains and start a load of laundry.
So I put a movie on for my 3 and my 6 year old (aka partners in crime). Ahhhh peace. I bathe the baby and get him dressed, but before I can play one game of Peek-A-Boo with him, I hear the little ones fighting over a crayon. I put the baby in the play pen and break up The Great Crayon Battle. Then I notice that there were casualties in The Great Crayon Battle. Namely my leather chair and the wall in the living room. At this point, the broken glass and flooded bathroom are all but forgotten as I work on scrubbing crayon off the wall. There has GOT to be a boot camp for toddlers somewhere!
The baby picks this day to learn a new trick. It's called, 'Hey I can escape from the play pen!' I have no idea how he managed to pull himself out of that thing, but he did. Want to know how I know he escaped? Because I heard the 3 year old shouting from the kitchen, "Moooooom, the baby is eating Puppy Chow!" I drop my cleaning sponge and run to the kitchen to find my baby sitting in a pool of water from the dog's dish, and happily munching away on dog food. Oh well. At least I won't have to feed him lunch.
I manage to change him. Again. I confiscate the older kids' Gameboys and put them to work making lunch for everyone. It's noon by now and I haven't showered, or finished the laundry, or washed the dishes from breakfast, or mopped up the bathroom, or cleaned up the broken glass, or scrubbed the crayon off the wall, or hung the curtains back up. But, on the bright side, there haven't been any broken bones or a need for stitches, so all in all, it's a good day.
After lunch, I banish 4 of the kids outside and lay the baby down for a nap. I clean up the peanut butter and Kool-Aid mess in the kitchen from where my oldest kids made lunch. Ahhh peace and quiet at last. I bake a birthday cake for my sister while the kids are playing nicely outside. Then I think to myself - 'They're playing nicely??? Wait a minute. They must be up to something!' Sure enough, the 3 year old is throwing globs of wet sand against the house and the 10 year old is trying to tie a rope to the chimney so he can repel down the side of the garage. WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS STUFF???!
While the cake is cooling inside, I help my kids clean up outside and play catch with them for a while. I don't happen to notice that the 3 and the 6 year olds disappear inside at some point. When I go inside to check on them and see if the baby is still sleeping, I see that the partners in crime have gotten into my cake decorating box and have painted themselves with black icing color! AARRRGGGHHH!!! I throw my little black-faced children in the tub and attempt to clean up the trail of black color on my kitchen table and the walls. While goofing off in the bathtub, they manage to knock a hole in the wall! That's right - A HOLE! We knew the wall was getting a little spongy, but having 5 kids tends to drain you financially and we just hadn't been able to do any remodeling. Sooo, now we have a hole in the wall which just lends to overall ambience of our "oh so classy" home.
This is about the time I start thinking that rum would be a good way to end the day. Oh yes, to top it off, my husband comes home and asks, "So, what did you do today?" GRRRR!
So, up for sale is the baseball that broke the light and started off my wonderful first day of spring break. I'd like to say that this is just one isolated day of insanity, but unfortunately this is pretty much my life. And yes, I actually did stop in the middle of the chaos to take pictures because everyone tells me that one day I'll look back fondly and laugh. (I have my doubts about this theory.)
PS - If anyone knows Super Nanny, send her my way!!!

David Mellor Design operates on the simple principle that well designed tableware is a vital part of any interior. The company was set up by David Mellor, Royal Designer for Industry, in the 1950s. The first and now famous David Mellor shop opened in Sloane Square, London, in 1969 and soon became a focal point of Swinging Sixties Chelsea and remains one of London's most original and individual shops. We run our own design office within the company and so the David Mellor collection is constantly evolving. Many of our products are designed by Corin Mellor, Creative Director, exclusively for the David Mellor shops and are produced by specially selected workshop producers and manufacturers. David Mellor now holds one of the most impressive collections of the finest British Crafts and sophisticated modern tableware and kitchenware, including the world famous David Mellor Cutlery, to be found on the international scene.
Corin Mellor succeeded his father as Creative Director of David Mellor Design in 2006. He is responsible for product development within the company, expanding our unique and well-known collection of specialist tableware and kitchenware. Corin trained in product design and architecture. He designed the interior of the Design Museum and Cafe at Hathersage. Recent special commissions include spectacular metalwork for Sheffield Cathedral and a collection of sterling silver for a Middle East royal family. A large scale sculptural seat for the gardens at Chatsworth was commissioned by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire in 2009 and a second bench has just been installed.
Wooden items used for serving or preparing food should be washed under running water. They should never be immersed in water or washed in a dishwasher, as soaking may cause the wood to warp or split. They should be dried immediately with a towel, not left to drain. To maintain the condition of wooden items, a small quantity of edible oil may be rubbed into the wood. Wooden items should be kept away from sources of heat and bright sunlight as these may cause the wood to warp.

Now streaming on:
Over the last decade or so, Jason Statham has been making a bid to become the next big international action movie star and has demonstrated that he has most of what it takes to achieve that lofty goal: he has loads of charisma, a sly sense of humor and is one of the few people working in the genre today who can convincingly pull off fight scenes. The only thing that has kept him from becoming a full-fledged superstar is that while he has appeared in some hits (such as the "Transporter" and "Expendables" movies) and a few cult favorites (like the demented "Crank" films), he has yet to find that iconic role that would put him over the top like Clint Eastwood with "Dirty Harry" or Arnold Schwarzenegger with "Conan the Barbarian" (1982) and "The Terminator" (1984).
Unfortunately, his latest effort, "Parker," is unlikely to do much to boost his career. It's another middling effort in which his undeniable presence is unable to elevate the usual mixture of convoluted plotting and grisly carnage. As bland and indistinct as its generic title, this is a film that seems to have been manufactured solely to play in mostly empty auditoriums for a bleak midwinter week or two before evaporating from the marketplace and the mind.
In theory, signing on for "Parker" must have seemed to Statham like a good idea at the time. The film is based on one of the books that the late, great crime novelist Donald E. Westlake wrote under the pseudonym of Richard Stark about the tough-as-nails criminal Parker, whose adventures previously appeared on the screen most famously in John Boorman's neo-noir classic "Point Blank" (1967).
"Parker" has been directed by Taylor Hackford and while his career has been on the quiet side in the last few years, he's still the person responsible for "An Officer and a Gentleman," "Chuck Berry: Hail Hail! Rock 'n' Roll" and "Ray." For a co-star, it has no less a figure than Jennifer Lopez and while some of her cinematic choices of late have been questionable, to put it politely, she has delivered enough good performances to give one hope that she will find another role that lives up to the promise she showed in "Out of Sight" and "The Cell."
Statham plays Parker, a master thief whose chief attributes are the code of ethics he lives by and a penchant for disguises of near-Fletchian proportions. Our story begins as he and a group of fellow thieves (Michael Chiklis, Wendell Pierce, Clifton Collins Jr. and Micah A. Hauptman) are executing an elaborate heist at the Ohio State Fair. Perhaps not surprisingly, the intricately-plotted caper goes sideways due to the incompetence of one of his cohorts. When Parker refuses the gang's demand that he re-invest his share of the loot as seed money for another caper with a bigger payoff, they attack him and leave him for dead by the side of the road.
Spoiler Alert! Parker manages to survive and after a little legwork learns that his former associates are in Palm Beach planning a new heist that — with its reliance on such items as booby-trapped speakers, scuba outfits and a fire truck — appears to be the most complex set of maneuvers since the Allies mounted Operation Market Garden.
Parker follows them to Florida and begins doing surveillance in the guise of a rich Texan looking to buy a house in the same area. This puts him in contact with Leslie Rodgers (Lopez), an ambitious realtor who is swimming in debt, living with her overbearing mother (Patti LuPone in what once once would have been the Lainie Kazan part). She twigs that Parker is not who he appears to be and wheedles her way into a small percentage of the prospectively ill-gotten gains. She begins to have second thoughts when she has to somehow conceal Parker bleeding in her bathroom after a brutal fight while a would-be policeman suitor is in the next room; that's Bobby Canavale in a role that looks to have been cut to ribbons in the editing.
All of the ingredients are here for a sexy, dark-humored crime film along the lines of Steven Soderbergh's great "Out of Sight," tbut they never jell into anything coherent or satisfying. Outside of a few flashes of wit here and there, blessed reminders of Westlake's gifts as a writer, John J. McLaughlin's screenplay fails to lift the crime-drama cliches above the routine.
This is Hackford's his first foray into the action genre and it becomes clear why he has avoided it. The action scenes come across as flat, uninspired and often too grisly for their own good. Worst of all, the film is flat-out dull — everything seems to take three times longer than it should and lacks the tautness a film like this needs to succeed.
The best things about "Parker" are the two lead actors. Although working with material that is lackluster even by his standards, Statham manages to demonstrate a commanding screen presence that cannot be dismissed. Opposite him, Lopez delivers one of her more convincing performances as a woman who knows she still has it, but who is also painfully aware that those days are coming to a close. This film may not contain the finest work from either star but at least they're making an effort, which is more than one can say about the rest of the picture. Statham can hope for better luck next time — or,well, there's always "Expendables 3."

There are records in the Nuremberg city annals of Friedrich Staedtler's activities as a pencil-making craftsman as far back as 1662. Generations later, his descendant would create one of today's most useful artist's tools. J.S. Staedtler invented the first colored pencil in 1834. It was a colored oil pastel pencil which could be "sharpened to a point just like a pencil". In 1835, the city council granted him a manufacturing license, with permission to produce black lead, red chalk, and pastel pencils. Staedtler had gained expertise from working with his father, Paulus Staedtler, at his workshop. He transferred this expertise to his industrial efforts. By the year 1840, his company was already making 63 different types of pencils. Staedtler is now Europe's largest manufacturer of black lead and colored pencils, but its original headquarters have always remained in Nuremberg, Germany. More than two thirds of all the writing instruments Staedtler produces are made there. The quality seal of "Made in Germany" has become an integral part of the Staedtler Company.

I won't tell you too much about him except that I think he was the most influential and greatest of the classic cartoon directors. He was the looniest of all the Looney Tunes animators and was largely responsible for their success and style.OK, listen all you young would-be animators, if you wanna become great you have to learn from the old cartoon masters from the 1940s.
Learn everything you can about how they drew and animated, how they thought and what cartoons they made.
Don't study my cartoons; study all my influences.
Here's a poster I did with Lynne Naylor of my biggest hero Bob Clampett:
Learn everything you can about how they drew and animated, how they thought and what cartoons they made.
Don't study my cartoons; study all my influences.
Here's a poster I did with Lynne Naylor of my biggest hero Bob Clampett:
My other big heroes are Chuck Jones, Tex Avery and Bob McKimson.
If you want to draw great, copy their beautiful and hilarious cartoons from the 1940s.
Look at some of these fun pictures from Clampett's cartoons:
Baby Bottleneck
So listen up, kids, many young cartoonists come to me with portfolios full of fake spumco style drawings or worse-graffiti art or the Cal Arts style. Don't do it!
What I look for is good old fashioned 40s style cartoon fundamentals. If you seriously want to work for me one day then do exactly what I tell you.
Buy this book now!
But after you buy it, be sure to open it!
Draw the characters in it and DRAW THEM THE WAY HE SHOWS YOU HOW TO DRAW THEM!
Learn these important fundamental principles:
Line Of Action
Clear Sillhouettes
These are all words they use in animation school, but they don't show you how to do any of it. Preston explains it all clearly and shows you with great solid and beautiful drawings.
I can't stress how important this advice is. You can't get into Spumco if you don't learn these principles correctly. Don't concern yourself about your own personal style. You don't have one yet. Only 1 in a hundred cartoonists ever develop an actual style. Fundamentals are much more important.
The kind of cartoonists I like are the ones that can see the obvious: that cartoons should look good and that old cartoons are the most appealing. If you can see that, then you might have a chance of learning how to do it. I'll help anyone who can prove it to me.
Now, it's very hard these days to find the great cartoons because they hardly ever show them on TV anymore for some mysterious reason.
You can learn about the history of them at Steve Worth's Asifa animation archive. Go there. Steve is very helpful and generous with his time and knowledge. Buy him a hot dog.
Go and see Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs, the greatest cartoon ever made!
Here's another great site to see frames from cartoons that pleasured your eyeballs.
Go buy some 1940s WB cartoon videos here. Buy the tapes instead of the DVDs! They are easier to use and look a lot better!
I'll talk more about classic cartoons in later posts, but this is a good start for those of you who are interested. Bone up!
I used to freeze frame great old cartoons and taught myself the classic fundamental principles above. You can do it too! And you will laugh a lot whiile you discover these masterpieces.
Good luck!
P.S. Don't copy drawings from Friz cartoons because they are not drawn very well. They are stiff, sloppy and bland.
Chuck is great. So are Bob, Tex and McKimson and so are the late 1940s Tom and Jerrys.
Do it.
Oh, and if you are in college I would be happy to come and lecture and show the best of these cartoons.
If you show me crummy flat cartoon drawings I'll fly apart!
