When you're young, Mama says to do a lot of things. Most of them inspire an eye roll or two. But when Mama says sew, you better grab some of this adorable fabric and get working! Mama Said Sew, the newest collection by Sweetwater, is black, white, red and charming. Keep reading for some Q & A with Sweetwater, and listen to your mother!
Q1: To what or whom would you dedicate this collection, or what inspired this collection?
A: Mama Said Sew was inspired by one of the cutest fabric shops we have ever seen- Mama Said Sew in Fort Collins, Colorado. I thought the name was just as cute as the shop! After that first visit, we thought the name would be perfect for our next fabric collection. We thought about it for a while and finally got the courage to ask the owner of the shop if we could borrow the name. She was so nice and thrilled to let us use it!
Q2: What is your favorite project using this collection?
A: My favorite project using this collection is our Mama's China pattern. You can make one large quilt or 3 smaller quilts (one red, one grey and one black) out of 1 jelly roll. I also love our Mama Said Sew canvas art print that matches the collection.
Q3: What would be your collection's theme song?
A: Instead of "I'm Sexy and I Know It", how about "I'm Sewing and I Know It"!
Q4: If you could live in a movie, what movie would it be?
A: The Blind Side. After seeing that movie, I wanted to do something as important and giving as Sandra Bullock's character. And I love football. It would be great.
Q5: What do you get nostalgic over?
A: The Olympics. That is the first thing that came to mind because they just ended. But I really do love the Olympics and they bring back so many memories. Some of my favorites include watching Mary Lou Retton in 1984 in my parent's basement wishing I could be her, watching the American hockey team win gold in 1980 when I was really little and the whole country was going crazy and just four years ago my husband and I went nuts in our living room watching Michael Phelps. We were screaming so loud we woke up and scared our newborn!
Q6: What is your favorite TV show of all time?
A: That's easy. Dallas. I am so excited it is back - I still love it! I remember when we were little my sister and I used to play "Dallas". We both always wanted to be Pam. She was the pretty, nice one married to Bobby. I also remember roller skating to the Dallas theme song on my parent's tiny concrete patio. We thought we were so cool!
Coming in a close second is The Bachelor. Oh how I love ridiculous reality TV!
Q7: If you could be a modern day fictional character, who would you be?
A: The Road Runner. I spend so much time in my car I wish I could get everywhere super fast.
A: I can't think of anything, but my niece, who is at work today, had an immediate response. She said people tell her she has her grandpa's (my dad's) teeth. She has no idea what to say to that. But her teeth do sort of look like my dad's (which isn't a bad thing, they are just really small teeth). Just don't tell her I said that.

DOJ to investigate Spokane Police Department
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Spokane Police Department made a big announcement Friday afternoon; they will be inviting the Department of Justice to come in and have full access to review their department.
At a press conference led by Mayor David Condon and Police Chief Frank Straub, they announced the department will also be implementing new weapons and training.
The Mayor and Spokane Police Department based their changes on a report from the Use of Force Commission. The report offered recommendations to create trust and more oversight for a police department quickly losing public confidence.DOJ to investigate Spokane Police Department
Most of the future changes will be completed by the end of the year and to the tune of $1 Million. The money isn't accounted for in the current budget, so the Mayor says he will work with the Spokane City Council to find a way to make it work.
The technical changes start with body cameras for every Spokane Police officer. The cameras will record interactions with citizens and cost about $1,000 on average. Patrol cars will also be equipped with better cameras that record an officer's interactions from the start of a pursuit to the conclusion of a traffic stop.
Officers will be issued new, smaller batons and tasers. Chief Straub said the current batons and tasers carried by officers are cumbersome and for that reason can be left behind in a patrol car to lighten the load. With new, smaller weapons the officers will have at their disposal more tools to de-escalate a situation before it gets violent or deadly.
De-escalation will also be part of new officer training, as well as crisis intervention. Straub's goal is to arm his officers with as many tools as possible so that situations do not escalate to violence.
All of these new tools and training procedures will be tested in a 360-degree virtual training world. The simulator surrounds an officer to give a more "real-life" feel, and can shoot projectiles at the officer to cause him or her to react. The simulator tracks response time, which weapons the officers chose to use and if the officer acted appropriately.
These changes all lead up to the biggest announcement at Friday's press conference: Straub and the Mayor have invited the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Spokane's police department.
The DOJ's COPS program will use a "technical assistance" method, which calls for collaboration with the Spokane Police Department. It will look at the department's overall culture and also scrutinize how the department investigates use of force complaints. The minimum six-month process will lead to recommendations that, if not implemented, can lead to stricter oversight by the DOJ.
"What we're doing is opening the windows, the doors, taking the sheets off the bed, opening up the closet and saying 'have at it, take a look, see what's here, see what we do right, see what we do wrong, tell us what we do wrong and we'll fix it and tell us what we do right and we'll make sure we do more of that," Straub said.
The DOJ will be in Spokane next week to begin their collaborative investigation. All other changes will be implemented by the end of 2013, including the body cameras.

Type II, compact and sporty (shorter boards, built for sporty planing, with soft-deck, daggerboard, designed for also lightwind conditions for the whole family, extremely suitable for windsurfers who want to make the step from subplaning into planing)
Volume: 150 liters
Material/construction: Tufskin
The results:
The short length of the Rio (235cm) goes with a width of 85.5 cm and an extremely wide nose as well. It's incredible how stable the board stays while tacking. The short Rio turns extremely well, feels super light because of the compact size and is the first board to get planing by far in the whole test group. The board will attract a windsurfer with higher skill level as well. The footstrap positions are available for absolute beginners (far inside) to experienced sailors (far back and outside). Overall it's a fresh and absolutely well designed concept.
+ thick nose protection, very quick in planing

Graduate School to reimburse fee for newly admitted international students
Posted December 23, 2004; 11:56 a.m.
International students enrolling in a graduate degree program at Princeton University for the first time next fall will be reimbursed for the new $100 SEVIS fee required by the federal government, Dean William B. Russel announced this week.
On Tuesday (Dec. 21), Russel wrote to members of the Graduate School community "to affirm the Graduate School's commitment to admitting and enrolling the best and the brightest, most intellectually capable and promising graduate students from around the world."
The government imposed the new fee, which is in addition to the standard visa application fee, on Sept. 1, 2004 in order to defray the costs of the SEVIS reporting system for international students. Russel said the Graduate School wanted to remove this potential barrier as admitted students decided whether to attend Princeton.
"It is clear to all of us in the Graduate School that the overall educational experience here, not only in the Graduate School but also in the University as a whole,is immensely enriched, academically, socially, and culturally, by the presence of international students," Russel wrote. "As we enter the new year, and a new admissions season, it is particularly important to restate in the strongest terms that we encourage outstanding international students who seek excellent graduate programs to continue to apply to Princeton, and to accept our offers of admission and support."
The reimbursement applies to all new graduate degree candidates who accept Princeton's offer of admission, register in SEVIS for the first time next summer or fall and enroll in a degree program in the fall of 2005. Information on graduate applications can be found on the Graduate School admission Web site.

All groups practiced pins similar to those found in Beginning Chess by Bruce Pandolfini.
Beginner Group: I announced just one pin problem at a time, putting the problem on the demonstration board and writing it on the notepad. Students did not set up the problem on their boards. They were asked to write their answers and then we discussed them.
Adaptation for Experienced Group: After two example problems, I did not put the problem on the demonstration board. Students set up each problem on their own boards. Then they wrote their answers before discussing with their partners.
Adaptation for Advanced Group: Same as for Experienced Group but they solved more pin problems.
And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."
-Emanuel Lasker (1868-1941)

Capitalizing on the recent interest in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Sierra Entertainment has announced that The Hobbit is in development for the Nintendo GameCube. Being developed by Austin, Texas-based Inevitable Entertainment, The Hobbit for GameCube is a third-person action/adventure set in one of the most famous realms of fantasy ever created, Middle-Earth. It pits gamers in the furry feet of Bilbo Baggins, a most unassuming hobbit who encounters the most extraordinary of things on his epic quest.
Russel Byrd, managing director at Inevitable says, "Bringing the epic worlds described in Tolkien's works to life through a video game has been an amazing experience."
Mike Ryder of Sierra comments, "The Hobbit is one of the pre-eminent fantasy works of all time and is perfectly suited to be the inspiration for a great game. The book provides a tremendous amount of rich material from which we expect to make a fantasy game that lives up to the extremely high expectations of Tolkien's fans worldwide."
The ambitious title is set for a 2003 release. Sierra and Inevitable have not released any screenshots of The Hobbit running on GameCube yet, but have provided one piece of promotional art.
IGNcube has stated that they will update with more details on The Hobbit in the coming months. If you're interested, head on over and check out the demo Inevitable did last year for nVidia's GeForce 3 card. Hopefully the company is as technically proficient with the GCN hardware.

And an AAT repaint.
And an AAT repaint.
I saw this on the official site last Friday. I'd love to see several of these made.
Most notably the Clone shuttle. It's a great cross between the Imperial shuttle and the Gunship.
The funky bulky b-wing like ship would be intersting. It reminds me of a lopsided shark as well. I'm not into Jedi Starfighter repaints.
Meh about the walking cannon. I'd get one for the heck of it, but not excited about it. I'd actually buy that tank repaint. and there was a similar STAP repaint that I'd buy as well.
Most of those would be $20 ships too. The clone shuttle I'd see for $40 and the b-wing-like ship maybe $30. Not too bad, IMO.
Move along, move along
Wow. I like all of them. The Jedi Starfighter looks like Anakin's Clone Wars Fighter, with the droid in the middle, minus the wing fins. I could be wrong though. It's the least interesting one for obvious reasons.
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
they all look to be designed with merchandising in mind.
I think Hasbro said they were doing the new Jedi Starfighter. Personally, I don't like it much at all, the boxy midsection and the central droid just look odd.
Hasbro shot down the idea of that B-wing-style shuttle, said it was too big. LEGO's making one.
That gunship-Lambda-type thing is cool, but seems a little outsized for a starfighter-class toy ($20), maybe if it holds troops in the interior it'd be worth a try, but I think the midsection looks a little small for that.
That walking gun looks so not Star Wars, I would NOT buy that thing, it looks as boring as it gets.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
The B-wing-like ship I would think would be a risk for Hasbro. It's to unique and hasn't yet earned a spot of recognition to garner a toy being made of it.
That cannon is meh to me. I said I'd get one. In fact I might get a couple to custom as Republic Destroyer guns (as seen in the one scene in ROTS).
I'm hoping for the shuttle/gunship. I think that's definitely not a $20 toy. I'd put it in the $40 range, especially if it's able to hold more than just two pilots, with the hold opening up to fit more troops in it.
Move along, move along
The "B-wing ship" is called the Twilight.
I doubt we'll see any of those apart from 97 repaints of that Jedi starfighter.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Here's too hoping Lucas and Hasbro make an obscene amount of money and prove all the OTC-only-nay-sayers wrong.
Though I don't think I want more slightly different Jedi Starfighters either.
btw: thanks for the avatar
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
I'm still hoping for the TX-130 tank. LEGO is making one and it seems like it may be in the show (not necessarily in the movie though). If that's the case, then Hasbro should follow suit and make it as they usually run neck and neck (or just a few months apart) with LEGO SW vehicles.
Move along, move along

NCIS Show-Runner Hints at Tiva Taking Things "Further"Steve Marsi at . Comments
It looks like Tiva worshippers may finally get their wish ... or at least come closer to it.
NCIS executive producer Gary Glasberg tells TV Guide that we may see things progress to a new level between Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) in Season 10.
One way or another, post-bombing trauma may bring the duo closer than ever.
"The elevator scenes are so good," Glasberg says of the opening episode, which finds them trapped after Richard Schiff's Harper Dearing detonated a car bomb outside NCIS HQ.
"[Tony and Ziva] can't help but be affected by this in a certain way, and they will continue to reach out to each other because of the connection they have as friends and as coworkers."
"There are definitely 'moments.' I'd like to take things a little further along than we have [in the past]."
What do you think those moments will consist of? Or should consist of? Do you want one of TV's most buzzed-about will-they-or-won't-they couples to finally go there?
Sound off on all things Tony, Ziva and NCIS in the comments below ...

Stylebook Snapshot: Romeo Delivers offers a new way to say Happy Valentine's DayFebruary 1, 2014 11:00 PM
Roses are red, chocolate is sweet, but both are predictable Valentine's Day treats.
Pittsburgh-based entrepreneur Anne Lopez wanted to help men find clever, customized gifts for their significant other.
"There's definitely room in the market for things to make romance new again," she said.
To help fill the need, she recently launched Romeo Delivers, a subscription service that sends members each month a box of cute and quirky goodies men can customize to surprise their sweetie and strengthen their relationship.
Ms. Lopez draws upon her background in art and advertising to create the crafty contents of the monthly boxes. In January, subscribers received calendar coupon cards that men could personalize with a kind deed they would do by the end of the month and a kit of accessories to build a miniature snowman and snow lady couple. In February, Ms. Lopez has planned a survival guide to Valentine's Day.
Membership is "growing quickly," Ms. Lopez said. "A lot of the guys were saying, 'I can't believe something this simple made this much of a difference.' "
The budding business has received support from the AlphaLab Gear program, which provides startups that produce physical products with a financial investment, a team of advisers and temporary office space in East Liberty. Romeo Delivers also tapped YouTube yinzer Pittsburgh Dad to help spread the word of the brand in a new promotional video for www.romeodelivers.com.
"One of the things we find is guys don't really talk to their friends about what romantic things they're doing for their wives or girlfriends," Ms. Lopez said. "We tried to make this promotional video fun to give them a way to talk about it."
Membership is $15 per month, or sign up for an entire year of "romantic toolkits" for an introductory rate of $120. One-month, three-month and six-month gift cards also are available. While products are designed for men to give to women, gift box sets for same-sex couples and for women to treat the man in their life are in the works, Ms. Lopez said.
"I really wanted to do something that would make people happy," she said. "The long-term vision is to create a membership for anyone to do something nice for anyone in their life."

The Kellerwald-Edersee National Park contains the last remaining sizeable area of ancient beech forest in central Europe, which makes the Edersee Forest Walk one of the most scenic hikes north of the Alps.
This trail along the steep slopes around Lake Edersee is both spectacular and dramatic. With 68 kilometres to walk and a total climb of 3,800 metres, you can expect wild, unspoilt nature at every turn. And it's not unusual to have to negotiate rock boulders or fallen trees. The breathtaking lake and forest views make this circular tour an unforgettable experience. Those who don't want to walk the entire trail can take a scenic shortcut across the lake on a ferry or boat. There are several landing stages for this along the route. An unusual two-man cable car transports walkers from Lake Edersee up to mighty Waldeck Castle, and every hour a funicular railway climbs 300 metres to the Petersberg reservoir used by the underground power station. Many other tourist sights and leisure attractions are within easy reach of the trail.
Tip: 100 years of the Edersee Dam (1914-2014)
The mighty Edersee Dam was built between 1908 and 1914. At 400 metres in length and 47 metres in height, it is one of the largest dams in Europe and a must-see attraction for people walking this route. Guided tours of the dam can be booked through Edersee Touristic.

Yes! Definitely! This is one of the characters I want most for Hasbro to make!
(Was that correct English?)
Yes,I would love to see him but I dont think we will see him done for some time to come

Like Tarkin and General Dodonna, he was missing from the vintage line. Let's hope they can make the two Rebel Generals in the near future. They've been MIA for DECADES!!!
They REALLY need a Rieekan!!!

Yeah, I'd like Rieeken too.
"There is no pain where strength lies"-Darth Maul
"You must join me, Obi-Wan, and together we will destroy the Sith!"-Count Dooku
My thought is yea to a Riekann figure.
I'd like to see a Rieken (I think that's correct spelling) with Bren Derlin 2-pack as a mail-in or ESB Anniversary set (at least) or seperate figures would be fine also.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
We are definatly overdue for a General Carlist Rieeken figure.
Bring it on Hasbro!

Panasonic Whisper Control Humidity Sensing Fan Switch - FV-WCCS1-W (White)
For the switch to sense dew (condensation), the room will need to show visible signs of wetness attaching to surfaces, such as steam on walls / mirrors / fixtures. Visible steam in the air is not the problem, the problem occurs when moisture in the air becomes too heavy and the air cannot support the moisture. The moisture then moves to surfaces (this is the dew point), triggering the switch sensors. The remarkable Whisper Control fan switch is constantly checking the air for condensation. At the right time the switch will turn ON your fan and run the fan to clear the room.
Maximum Fan Load: 1/8th hp or 3 amps

The product that I recieved does not say Panasonic anywhere on it. It appears as pictured but I believe it is made by another company.

Diabetes and obesity are developing as global pandemics with major implications to healthcare systems and to the health of society. Faced with such a marked increase in disease prevalence, most physicians need a basic understanding of diabetes management and approaches to therapy.
In this conference we ask: How do we best deliver diabetes care? Can we take advantage of technological developments? How do we empower individuals to look after themselves? Do we individualise care or treat to the guideline? Why exercise and how is this best achieved in the individual or society? Do we need genetics to individualise care or are there other approaches to phenotyping? Finally, we review insulin therapy in the modern age before remembering where it all started with a lecture on the discovery of insulin from Professor Michael Bliss, University Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, a recipient of the Order of Canada, and an honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
This symposium is intended for professional and paraprofessional staff with an interest in diabetes, diabetes care and service delivery.

Roland Jupiter-6
The Jupiter-6 is an incredible analog synth. All of the Jupiters have a sound that was unlike any other synthesizer and the Jup 6 is no exception. This sound is due in part to classic analog Roland technology in its filters, modulation capabilities and a thick cluster of 12 analog oscillators at 2 per voice. Easy and intuitive programming via front panel sliders, knobs and buttons for all your tweaking needs.
The Jup 6 is a scaled down version of the Jup 8 in terms of programming and polyphony. However the Jup 6 has some major improvements of its own such as newly added MIDI control and better tuning stability! While the Jup 6 does have MIDI, the implementation is very rudimentary and hard to control. The Jup 6 was one of the very first (along with the Sequential Prophet 600) synths to use the then new MIDI protocol, and the implementation on the Jup 6 is far from complete.
Synthcom Systems, Inc. offers the Europa firmware upgrade for the Jupiter-6 which gives it an up-to-date and comprehensive MIDI implementation. All parameters are controllable via Continuous Controller or SysEx. Europa also features an extensive arpeggiator which will sync to MIDI clock with programmable clock divisors and rhythms, and has about 50 more playback variations than the JP-6's original Up, Down, Up/Down, and Down/Up. A Europacized Jupiter-6 is a thoroughly modern synth with a classic sound.
The Jupiter-6 is an excellent for ambient drones, pads, blips, buzzes and leads. The Jupiter-6 is known for being a very reliable, programmable, polyphonic, analog monster of a synthesizer! It is used by Orbital, Moby, Überzone, Devo, BT, The Prodigy, Vangelis, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, ZZ Top, Duran Duran, Moog Cookbook, and Blur.

WEST POINT — Bond has been set at $2 million each for three women charged with murder in the stabbing death of a man in West Point over the weekend.
West Point Police Chief Tim Brinkley says 27-year-old Marcus Payne of Hamilton, was stabbed Saturday night outside a convenience store. He later died at a Tupelo hospital.
Brinkley says 27-year-old Latwanna Roby and 24-year-old Natisha Roby, both of Macon; and 22-year-old Shunbrica Roby of Columbus have each been charged with murder. It is not known if the three are related.
They were being held in the Clay County jail Wednesday.
Brinkley says the investigation is continuing.

Canes Baseball won it's first game of a double header (rained out yesterday) in walk-off style. Were leading game two 3-1.
in my opinion the number one priority is locking up a 1 seed in the tourney. everything else who cares (#1 ranking overall, acc tourney, media acclaim, etc.)
it goes without saying the goal is to win a national championship and the path of least resistance is being a #1.
Canes Baseball won game two, look for the sweep today.
JCane just landed in Clemson.
Feeling a little nervous about today's game, though...
Less than an hour away...Let's do it!
What a start.
What a game...Good lord.
I can't believe this is how we will lose...What a **** show this game is...

Serves 4
• 350g puff pastry
• ¼ cup herb pesto
• 4 medium-sized courgettes, cut
• thinly lengthways
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ½ cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
Olive dressing
• ¼ cup green olives, finely chopped
•1 Tbsp basil leaves, shredded
• 1 clove garlic
• juice of lemon
• cup olive oil
Herb pesto
• 2 cups fresh herbs
• ¼ roasted pine nuts
• ½ cup freshly grated parmesan
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• ½ cup olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 200C. Roll the pastry to a 20 x 30cm rectangle and place on an ovenproof tray. Score around the border of the pastry 1cm from the edge.
2. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until puffed and golden.
3. Remove from the oven. The centre may need a gentle push down at this stage. Gently spread the herb pesto on the base.
4. In a frying pan or on a barbecue, brown the courgette strips for a minute each side. Layer the courgettes on top of the pesto, covering the entire base.
5. Mix the garlic, olive oil and parmesan and spread evenly over the courgettes. Season with salt and pepper. Place back in the oven for 15 minutes until golden.
6. In a bowl combine the olives, basil, garlic, lemon juice and oil.
7. Serve the tart warm with a generous spoonful of olive dressing.

Maybe it's the time it spends in train stations or MI6's new premises in old underground London. Maybe it's the venerable British thespians in support. Or that our our hero - orphaned as a child, we discover - must face his tech-wizard nemesis in a crumbling country pile. Maybe it's the bit with the dragons (yes, really).
And maybe, well certainly, I'm flailing about trying to find something vaguely original to say about 007, part XXIII.
It's had so much said about it already and got itself branded the dark, psychological Bond, the reinvented-for-the-21st century-but-origin-story Bond, and, the best Bond since Daniel Radcliffe - whoops, Craig - first got those very nice suits tailored.
But the admittedly lateral thought that this Bond curiously resembles a gun-happy, jet-setting Harry Potter movie took hold while it was still on. And in a Bond movie, you really shouldn't be given time or inspiration for random thoughts about other Brit blockbuster franchises.
Because it just might indicate that Skyfall, with the energy generated by real-world seriousness rubbing up against the formulaic preposterousness, can actually get a bit boring. Especially as it heads into the last half-hour of a film which matches Craig's debut, Casino Royale, for duration as the longest Bondflicks.
That 2006 one humanised the old trooper by having him fall in love in between high stakes card games and getting tortured.
This one attempts to do the same by showing his rehab efforts after coming back from the dead - his downtime having been spent somewhere sunny, mostly contemplating the bottom of bottles from the product placement dept - so he can then chase this episode's Euro-baddie (Bardem's Raoul Silva), a cyber-terrorist threatening to expose an international spy who's who on the web.
That involves stop-offs in Shanghai and Macau via two Bond gals - curiously, Berenice Lim Marlohe's Severine spends more time on the poster than she does in the movie - before dragging Silva back to London where, after a Silence of the Lambs bit, it's all on.
And that's where Skyfall starts to drag. While trying to be the aforementioned dark, psychological reboot of 007, it also wants to be the bob-each-way Bond.
Its story wants to say something about being a spy in a precarious post-WikiLeaks/Anonymous world while still being the high-action aftershave advert of old.
Just not sure it does either particularly well.
But if director Sam Mendes and his writers over-reach, it still offers plenty of set-piece thrills and their leading man, Craig, is still really good.
Opposite him, Bardem's Silva might be a gay cover version of his creepier killer, Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men, but he sure has his moments, whether he's inspecting 007's inside leg measurement or showing a remarkable inability to delegate in his fiendish plans. Which is very Voldemort of him, really.
Stars: 3.5/5
Cast: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem
Director: Sam Mendes
Rating: M (violence)
Running time: 143 mins
Verdict: Best Bond yet? Hmmm ...

First, rub the turkey with a little vegetable or olive oil all over the skin. This will help it brown evenly. The next step is most important: Season the turkey all over with kosher salt and pepper. You want to make sure to get the salt and pepper on the back, then turn it over and season the breast and leg. Don't forget to season inside the cavity, as well.
Next, tie the turkey's legs together with kitchen twine; this is called a basic truss. Trussing helps keep the turkey in a nice compact shape, which ensures it will roast evenly. Loop some kitchen twine around each leg joint, tie, and trim the ends.
It's a good idea to trim off the very tips of the wings, because they are so thin they tend to burn, and there's not a lot of meat on them anyway. Tuck the wings back behind the turkey's neck to keep the turkey more stable in the roasting pan.
Finally, it's always a good idea to use a roasting rack inside your pan, which keeps the bottom from sitting in the pan juices. A V-rack is ideal because it allows hot air can circulate all around the turkey.
Bonus tip: For the juiciest breast meat, start out roasting your turkey breast side down. After 30 minutes, flip the turkey and let it finish roasting breast-side up. Any ridges in the breast from the rack will smooth out by the time the turkey's finished roasting.

Soo.. is sequester a verb or a noun? We use it currently as a noun = cut in gov. spending. I prefer to use it as a verb. My girlfriend and I performed a sequester at the mountain cabin and called in sick to work the next day because of 'snow'. JD

- Due to the handmade nature of Majolica, colors and design may vary slightly.
Day of the Dead XL Ginger Jar
Majolica pottery originated in the 16th century and is primarily distinguished by the milky-white glaze used after the first firing. Majolica pottery is a diverse category of clay arts under which, Spanish-influenced Talavera and Italian Maiolica are sub-genres. Mexican Majolica primarily differs from traditional Talavera in the art form and use of colors. Traditional Talavera is known for its intricate pattern work whereas Majolica uses more free-form designs and artwork.

"I just want to say that the "Oceano" floor vase (middle size) my husband, ordered for me is absolutely beautiful. It was packed so well, we couldn't believe what all went into insuring that this vase would reach us unscathed! The vase reached us just fine here in northeast Florida. It is so perfect and it matches a gorgeous framed canvas just recently purchased. I did not see in the testimonials how or where to write a review, so here is mine. This product and website are five stars without a doubt. My vase looks like something in a museum. I just wish I could send a picture of it in my living room (the vase sits across the room from the canvas picture). We received it very fast and our Maine Coon rescue cat, enjoyed the box for a while, also. Thank you for such a wonderful, high-end looking decor piece. It is stunning!"

Gulf of Maine Cleanups Show Ocean Trash Is Global Problem With Local Impacts, Solutions
Posted On August 28, 2013 by Allison Schutes
200 miles, 7 beaches, 4 islands and over 7,500 pieces of trash: These numbers can be used to describe my time with Rozalia Project in the Gulf of Maine. But they don't tell the whole story. Instead "inspiring" seems to capture most of my emotions.
Incredible scenery and wildlife served as the backdrop for the long days we spent collecting and removing trash while living aboard American Promise. Not only were we surrounded by a large pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins as we sailed south from Hurricane Island, but we also had a finback whale come within 5 meters of the boat at sunset. We saw the spouts of another whale in the moonlight reflecting off the ocean, and we observed harbor porpoises and seals, a pair of bald eagles and even an ocean sunfish, or Mola mola, in Gosport Harbor.
Our crew of 10—eight people and two dogs—were united with one goal: to remove as much trash from the shoreline and ocean surface as possible while recording data about each and every item we removed. Sailing from Bar Harbor to Kittery, Maine, we conducted seven shoreline cleanups on four different islands, and aboard American Promise, we performed three Neuston net tows and multiple dip-net sessions—all resulting in the collection of a lot of trash.

Making Episode II Part VII.
"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."
With hyperdrives, repulsorlifts and ion engines aplenty, the high-tech Star Wars universe would seem to have little in common with an archaic aircraft like the Vickers Vimy bi-plane. The World War I-era bomber may look like an antique, but as a wise Jedi once said, your eyes may deceive you; don't trust them.
The usefulness of this plane lay not in its looks, but in its sounds. The Star Wars films are always rich in aural phenomena. Sound experts like Ben Burtt and Matthew Wood are tasked with collecting real-world sounds to double as otherworldly noises. In doing this, they have traveled all over the world and recorded all manner of bizarre things.
This documentary spotlights one of their latest discoveries. So buckle up, strap on your goggles, and turn up your speakers.
Some very cool sound effects in there plus if listen closely at the beginning and end you can hear new music, possibly for Episode II.

Thank you!
"Vaimo is an international, rapidly growing, high-tech and highly professional company to work at. Recruitment efforts prioritise skills and drive, which results in a diverse, competent and innovative working environment. The two highest focus points of Vaimo are its personnel and its clients, whereby great emphasis is put on promoting the ideas and work satisfaction of individual employees, and on providing value and state-of-the-art solutions to the clients. I further like that the company supports sports and a healthy lifestyle, with members of management team being great and inspiring examples."
"Working in a company that is growing at the rate we are opens many great opportunities to develop in the direction I want to. Unity and fellowship in the office make me want to go to work every day.The mentality that "nothing is impossible" permeates the entire organisation."
"Vaimo is a great place to work. Challenging projects and tasks keep me motivated and my own learning curve keeps on rising. It's a good company to make a career in, starting as a junior developer and working your way up to higher positions."
"Vaimo is a rapidly growing company, which translates into exciting possibilities. We are currently starting new offices around the world, which gives us the opportunity to go there and share our knowledge. It also offers great potential for personal development, such as new roles and more responsibility, as long as you are open and prepared to take a chance when it appears."
"Working at Vaimo is both fun and challenging as a developer. Customers with high demands keep us on our toes every day. I love the fact that even though the company has grown a lot, the organisation is still flat and the working environment is good. It's a great experience working together with a large group of nice, fun, talented, hardworking people in an international company."
"I believe that if you want to be really good at something, you have to surround yourself with the right people and environment. For me, that is the best benefit of working at Vaimo. Vaimo has the people, tools and culture of a fast growing company. I also value that at Vaimo, I have the opportunity to challenge myself in different kinds of projects to grow my level of expertise. I can, without a shout of a doubt, recommend Vaimo to everyone who wants to do the work they love and be successful at building a career."
"There are two main dimensions of personal development for me: family and business. In Vaimo, one can find the perfect equilibrium. I have time to enjoy my close family and my friends - moreover, I've found a lot of friends here. Vaimo cares about employee interests. Here, I can feel the team spirit that helps me to reach new heights, and I'm proud of my success. Vaimo is a business I am very much interested in - it gives me gratification and the feeling of self-cultivation. Thus, Vaimo is not just a job or a work place for me - it is my second home and the place I want to get back to every day."
"Working in a company where everybody is encouraged to share ideas and every idea is heard and evaluated, sounds like a dream for many. There is a stereotype about working in a big company: people are resources, teams are production units, etc. Though Vaimo is an international company with many offices in different parts of the world, it continues to be driven by ideas coming from the employees. This is encouraging and motivating, yet at the same time, it teaches you to take responsibility for what you've proposed. Being involved with Vaimo Ukraine from its very first day, I can confirm that each beginning of the company is not only valuable from the business perspective, but it's also a challenge for the employees in allowing them to strengthen their knowledge and gain additional useful skills. We have great projects and we don't get bored!"
"Vaimo is a company where you can grow as a professional and have a lot of fun with your friendly colleagues. Many incoming big projects make your day-to-day work more challenging and therefore you always learn something new."
"Working for Vaimo means being part of the fast growth of a young company, being able to influence that growth and in the process experiencing great personal growth. Every day is exciting and makes me enjoy going to work!"
"Kicking off your career as a web developer for Vaimo is one of the most rewarding and satisfying things you can do as a young professional. Working in one of the most rapidly growing companies in the market together with one of the best Magento developers gives you excellent chances to evolve and progress your career!"
"Our challenging clients ask us to push Magento's limits, which is a great obstacle to face as a software developer. What tickles you is the freedom to choose your favourite kind of tasks, and highly motivated co-workers who are fun to work with and confident to take challenges on as a team."
"Vaimo is growing rapidly, but this growth does not only come from new recruitments. They also invest in the personal development of their existing employees. We have every opportunity to learn and improve as professionals. The company is built on expertise and the foundations are getting stronger every day. Our clients come from different areas of the market with new challenges, so we never get bored. Social people, trainings, team nights, visiting other offices and hackathons are just a few things that spice up our life at Vaimo."
"What I like about working in Vaimo is the possibility to influence how you work in everything from development tools to project methods. Additionally, you get encouraged to always learn new things and grow your knowledge about the things that you are working on."

San Diego Chargers
#18 Overall -- Melvin Ingram / DE-OLB / South Carolina
Chargers select my #4 defensive end and #1 3-4 'rush' linebacker here with the 18th pick. I've long felt like Melvin Ingram was one of the top 10 pure talents in this draft, and one of the 5 best athletes regardless of position. Has the movement and open field running skills that can rival many of the RB's in this draft. Probably the most versatile defensive player I scouted in all of college football. He's so good that Spurrier had him on the "Hands Team" to recover onside kicks on special teams.. and in fact went up and recovered a huge one to secure the victory over Georgia. All in all, I think the Chargers got a terrific player here and also a quality kid. He'll probably push former 1st round bust Larry English out of a roster spot. Grade: A
#49 Overall -- Kendall Reyes / DT / UCONN
Reyes was my #7 defensive tackle and had an early 2nd round grade on him, and he came off the board in that range. I actually thought he'd be in play for the Colts at the top of the 2nd round when they chose Coby Fleener. This is a pretty good pick for the Chargers who got him about 15 picks later. Grade: A-
#73 Overall -- Brandon Taylor / S / LSU
They get the #3 safety on my board here who I had graded as an early 3rd round pick which is where he came off the board. I actually like Taylor better than Harrison Smith, who went in the latter part of the 1st round. Terrific player. Does everything above-average and knows how to bring the wood when he hits you, but also a reliable wrap up tackler. Chargers are off to a smokin' start. Grade: A
#110 Overall -- Ladarius Green / TE / UL-Lafayette
The #5 tight end on my board who I had given a mid-4th round grade. The Bolts get good value here for this developmental prospect with some upside as a mismatch against smaller CB's and slower LB's. Won't block you and needs some coaching and added strength....weight. Has time to develope in these areas and learn the trade behind Antonio Gates. Grade: C+
#149 Overall -- Johnnie Troutman / OG / Penn St.
Was never impressed by Troutman and left him off my draft board. Reach. Grade: D
#226 Overall -- David Molk / C / Michigan
Chargers get the #5 center on my board who I had given a 5th round grade late in the process here and get great value. Lack of ideal size pushes him down in the draft, but one of the most scrappy and competitive interior lineman in the draft. Accomplished player and All-Conference selection. Get good value here and a potential starter down the road on the pivot. Grade: B
#250 Overall -- Edwin Baker / RB / Michigan St.
#8 change-of-pace back on my board that I had given a 6th round grade. Came out early and was going to see his carries continue to dwindle like they did this year due to sophomore Le'Veon Bell next year anyway. Average prospect. Worth a late round flyer here for Chargers who got him a little later than I thought he'd come off. Grade: C-

Siel DK70
The DK70 is a fully programmable, battery powered portable synthesizer featuring subtractive synthesis using DCO, VCF and VCA technology (similar to Roland's Alpha Juno series). It has a polyphony of 8 voices in normal mode and 4 voices in dual mode. There are 50 memory patches (40 preset, 10 user) but that could be expanded to 100 with additional ROM or RAM cartridges. Editing and creating sounds is a behind the scenes affair - that is, not for real time or live use. With only a handful of press buttons for all data entry, editing is very tedious and boring.
So stick with the presets or pre-program and store your own sounds for later because this synth is otherwise aimed right at the live user - battery powered, lightweight, built-in guitar strap hooks and an optional "Stage Set" Grip with pitch ribbon, modulation depth, program change and octave +/- controls. The 49-note keyboard does not have velocity sensitivity. It also has a chorus effect and a simple two track sequencer which can store up to 200 notes. This cheap synth is great for string sounds, pads, bass and strange noises. Although similarly designed synths like the Roland Alpha Juno and Korg Poly 800 often seem more popular, many users have found the DK70 to have warmer and more 'analog' qualities from its VCF and VCA sections. The DK70 is probably an underrated synth and definitely worth checking out if you ever come across one.

Honeywell Reverse Osmosis Filter System for TrueSTEAM Humidifiers
This Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration system removes dissolved solids and organic matter from water by passing it through a membrane which separates and flushes minerals and impurities from the water. Install this system upstream of the steam humidifier's water inlet. It is recommended that the RO system's filters be replaced at least once per year to ensure optimal humidifier performance.
In areas where water is moderately hard to extremely hard - a dedicated reverse-osmosis systems is recommended to reduce and simplify maintenance for the TrueSTEAM steam humidifier.
This RO System (50045947-001) is for homes with water pressure greater than 45 psi. Homes with water pressure at or above 45 psi are typical in urban homes where water is fed by a water treatment plant. Homes with low water pressure should use the kit with permeate pump - # 50045947-002

Super easy to install. The only tool required was a screwdriver to mount the unit to the wall. Seems to be functioning well. Too early to tell how effective it is since I have not opened the humidifier for a cleaning yet (it has been in operation for three weeks).
Best Uses
I needed to filter our very hard water before it went into the steam humidifier.
Best Uses
I installed this unit before our 12 gallon True Steam humidifier. The unit is incredibly easy to install. The unit does make some noise when filling and is a little wasteful of water as a stream is always running from the waste water tube. It does appear to drastically reduce scale in the unit.

Finally checked gnome-bluetooth into GNOME CVS. hadess has started to do some much needed clean-ups on the code. The consensus seems to be that using Bonobo is pretty pointless, and that the bonobo-centered bits of the code should die in favour of a normal GObject. The rationale for using Bonobo in the first place was that it might make interfacing to other languages easier, but it seems there is more will to generate a handful of language bindings for the GObject than to use Bonobo.
Unfortunately this means a little bit of code-rewriting. I have to say that writing GObjects in C isn't particularly pleasant either, but there we are. I think it's the right decision, although I feel a little guilty about it.

Serves 4
This dessert is a favorite of the Thais--and quickly becomes so to anyone who tastes it. The coconut cream must be thick and creamy. Making your own is best, but if you use the canned stuff, don't shake the can and use the solid plug of coconut cream at the top.
Mix the coconut cream with the flour paste in a small saucepan or brass wok, stirring rigorously to incorporate. Add the salt and pandanus leaf, if using, then bring to the boil, stirring constantly to ensure the cream does not separate. When the coconut cream has thickened, add the sugar and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool before serving.
Rinse the rice carefully to remove any excess starch without breaking the grains. Soak it overnight, with 2-3 Thai jasmine flowers, if possible.
The next day, drain the rice, rinse and place in a metal steamer; normally the raw grains of rice cling together, so they rarely fall through the holes, but if you're feeling cautious line the steamer with some rinsed muslin (cheesecloth). Make sure the rice is not piled too high in the center, nor too widely spread. Add a pandanus leaf or two to the water in the base of the steamer, if you like, then steam the rice until tender (test some grains from the area where the mound of rice is deepest); this should take about 45 minutes to 1 hour. During this time, make sure that there is plenty of water in the steamer; if you need to top up the water level, use boiling water so as not to interrupt the steaming. When you check on the rice, wipe dry the inside of the steamer lid before replacing it.
Meanwhile, stir the sugar and salt into the coconut cream until dissolved. When the rice is cooked, remove from the steamer and place in a glass or ceramic bowl, then pour over the prepared coconut cream and stir to incorporate fully. (It is important that the rice is still piping hot, so it will more completely absorb the coconut cream and become rich and glistening.) If you like, you can plunge a knotted pandanus leaf into the rice and dot the surface with a few Thai jasmine flowers. Cover and set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes before serving. Some cooks like to swaddle the bowl in a towel to keep it warm and snug!
While the rice is settling, soak the mung beans in water for about 5 minutes then drain well. Dry-roast the mung beans over a low heat in a small, heavy-based pan or a wok, shaking often, until they are golden brown and smell nutty. Remove from the heat and, if necessary, crush coarsely using a pestle and mortar or an electric grinder.
Peel the mangoes with a sharp knife, then cut the flesh away from the central stone into cheeks. Cut each cheek crosswise into five or six slices.
Divide the rice among four bowls, then place a sliced mango cheek alongside and cover with a spoonful or two of sweetened coconut cream. Sprinkle with the mung beans and serve.

This is the sixth regular legislative session for Gov. Haley Barbour, and for all of that time the House has given him fits and the Senate has, for the most part, given him what he wanted.
That didn't change on the eminent domain issue. What did change were the political dynamics.
Some of Barbour's staunchest Republican allies in the Senate opposed him on eminent domain, while 11 of the 27 Senate Democrats stood with him. So while the governor got a familiar result – help from the Senate, which put the brakes on the House – it was a whole different scenario than usual. Even in the House, the usually rock-solid 47 Republican voting bloc crumbled on the issue.
Both the House and Senate had overwhelmingly passed a bill prohibiting government from forcing the sale of someone's land for use by other private interests. Only three House members and no senators voted against it. Populist sentiment against the idea of government forcing somebody off their property, even at a fair market price, for reasons other than government projects like road or school construction, couldn't be any stronger than those vote totals suggest.
But Barbour – as well as the state's business leaders and economic development professionals – see eminent domain is an essential tool to attract mega-projects like Toyota that require cobbling together multiple pieces of land and in which one holdout landowner has the potential to squelch the whole thing. The greater public good of those private-sector projects justifies using eminent domain as a last resort, they argue.
So Barbour vetoed a bill that had passed the entire Legislature virtually unanimously and then went to work to turn around the result. Even for someone with Barbour's legendary political skills, that was a tall order, but he managed to pull it off.
The House – including a big chunk of Republicans – ignored his arguments and voted to override the veto, so the governor found himself lobbying senators who, to put it mildly, would not ordinarily be his best political friends. He convinced 11 Democrats to join 11 Republicans in opposing an override of the veto. They said he convinced them of the veracity of his argument that eminent domain was a necessary tool for job creation and that Mississippi would be at a major disadvantage without it.
With the Senate's action, Barbour still has not had a veto that failed to stand since he became governor in January 2004.
This issue that he turned around so adroitly is quintessentially Barbour. While he now has the misfortune of presiding over a severe recession and high unemployment in Mississippi – and probably getting blamed for it by some future Democratic candidate, as he blamed his predecessor Ronnie Musgrove for the last national economic downturn – Barbour has nonetheless excelled in the economic development game. He has credibility when he says the big projects like Toyota and Nissan would not have materialized without the availability – if not the use – of eminent domain.
Additionally, this issue is one where there is little if any political calculation by Barbour. He certainly doesn't stand to gain anything politically by his stance, except to further solidify his standing among the state's top business and economic development leaders, who are already his strongest supporters anyway.
That Barbour is more of an old-fashioned business-oriented Republican than the newer breed of populist, cultural conservative in the GOP has long been evident, and there is no clearer statement of that than the eminent domain issue and the split it has engendered in the Republican legislative ranks.
One could even make an argument that his stance on eminent domain isn't conservative – at least from a small-government standpoint. But when it comes to economic development, the separation of business and state ceased to exist long ago, even for otherwise conservative Republican governors.
Eminent domain may still yet face the populist tide through Mississippi's little used initiative process, or there may be legislation that exempts big projects from restrictions and that manages to pass gubernatorial muster. In the meantime, Haley Barbour has pulled yet another political rabbit out of a hat that seems never to go empty, and this one's got a new set of ears.

Unhandled exception at 0x1014d7af in game.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xfeeefef2.
It happens when i send a string to a function. If i leave that param empty its ok. If i use a simple string like ("test") it crashes. But its only that instance of that function. I use that function with strings everywhere with no problem. Where can the problem lie?
Maybe you can answer generally, but when i close and get the error the compiler directs me to some irrlicht code, namely:
from ireferencecounter, this is what happens when i close my program:
bool drop() const { // someone is doing bad reference counting. _IRR_DEBUG_BREAK_IF(ReferenceCounter <= 0) --ReferenceCounter; if (!ReferenceCounter) { delete this; return true; } return false; }

In bee societies, the majority gains when everyone concentrates on
raising the queen's young. Of the approximately 30,000 workers in a
hive, only three or so have functioning ovaries. Worker policing
further reduces the number of surviving worker-laid eggs. According
to kin-selection theory, workers are kept in line by the mathematics
of their relatedness: They are more related to the sons of their
queen than to the sons of their half-sisters, and thus the colony's
interests support the queen and her reproductive success.
The Cape honeybee (Apis mellifera capensis), however, flies
in the face of those rules. It has evolved its own
system—clever parasitism. When a Cape worker invades a hive,
it successfully evades worker policing by mimicking the host queen's
pheromones, which allows its eggs to hatch unimpeded. If that isn't
enough, capensis workers lay diploid eggs—each
contains a full set of genetic material, from which hatch another
generation of parasitic workers, earning them the moniker
"pseudo-clones" from the scientists who study them. The
pseudo-clones reproduce by a process called thelytoky: When
the worker bee lays an unfertilized egg, it develops into a new,
genetically identical (barring the occasional mutation) female bee.
In contrast, in other honeybee subspecies, unfertilized eggs develop
by arrhenotoky into male drones, which are incapable of reproduction.
The pseudo-clones are obligate parasites and don't forage; they rely
on host African honeybees (A. m. scutellata), or
"scuts" as the scientists call them, to gather their food.
However, as the number of invaders surpasses the number of scuts,
the amount of incoming food dwindles and, eventually, the host
colony collapses. The entire process takes little more than twelve
weeks, says Per Kryger, a scientist at the University of Pretoria in
South Africa who has studied the bees for years and is currently
working to conserve the wild honeybee populations found in South
Africa. "The pseudo-clones see themselves as queens, or
princesses maybe," Kryger says.
Before the colony collapses, the Cape bees must catch a
ride—perhaps on the truck of an unwitting beekeeper—to
their next host. Unbelievably, it may take only a single worker to
propagate the invasion. Using genetic analysis, Kryger, along with
Annelize Lubbe of the Plant Protection Research Institute and Michel
Solignac at Universitý Paris-Sud, has traced the billions of
current invaders to a single worker that was alive in 1990. The
scientists used more than 300 DNA microsatellites, or lengths of
repeated nucleotide sequences that identify relatedness between
individuals, to confirm that the pseudo-clones were daughters, or
rather great-granddaughters, of a single worker, Kryger says.
There have been two other recorded invasions of Cape bees in South
Africa, the first in 1928 and the second in 1977. Both subsided
without much ado, possibly because the invading bees didn't have the
range of traits that current pseudo-clones possess, explains Theresa
Wossler, a zoologist with Stellenbosch University in South Africa.
The Cape honeybee is "the end product of rapid selection of the
most virulent line of capensis," she says. The
pseudo-clones have just the right combination of traits, including
an increased predisposition to wandering, to keep the invasion spreading.
The current invasion of highly effective intruders is causing quite
a disturbance in northern South Africa. Wossler estimates the value
of crops dependent on honeybee pollination to be 20 billion rand, or
about 2 billion U.S. dollars—and the bees' contribution to
South African wild flora cannot be overestimated, she says.
Honeybees are the most significant pollinator species in South
Africa, she adds. Scientists are wondering what effect such a
prolonged invasion will have on endemic honeybee populations. So
far, Kryger says, beekeepers have been able to catch enough swarms
in the wild every year to make up for those that have collapsed, but
this temporary solution only spreads the invasion by introducing
new, wild colonies to the pseudo-clone.
The real solution is to stop mixing healthy, new swarms with old
infected colonies. Although it may sound simple, Kryger says,
translating scientific principles into business practice is quite
difficult.—Rebecca Sloan Slotnick
