Low Budget Irrigation
My dream was to purchase a slew of ollas from the Dervaes family this year, but financially we couldn't swing it with all the other backyard costs. I decided to go super low tech with the plastic milk jugs I have been saving. Basically I took all the containers
and used a push pin to poke a load of holes in them with a fervor I might use to stick a voodoo doll of Dick Cheney. The little pin was easy to get through the plastic, which enabled me to finish all seven jugs in under 10 minutes. (If they would have been voodoo dolls, Dick would have certainly met his demise. Muuuuahahahahah!!!) I then buried the containers about three feet apart in the veggie beds.
For some reason I thought that the earth pressing against the jugs would slow the water drainage down and I grossly overestimated the number of holes that I needed. After I filled the bottles, the water ran out faster than it took to fill them. Crap. Not what I was hoping to achieve here. I guess next time I won't get so zealous with the push pin.
That's the cool thing about the clay ollas, they slowly release water through their walls, which encourages the roots of plants to hug the sides of the pot and suck up all the moisture. Maybe I'll pick some up the next time we are in SoCal.

This is such a great idea Heidi. We use our dishwater to irrigate our vegetable garden.ReplyDelete

I've been told that you can make your own ollas by taking two terra cotta pots and caulking them together, top rim to top rim, to form a large, closed container. Then you seal up one of the drainage holes and use the other drainage hole for filling. I have one I made like this last year, but I can't say whether or not it would really work (as in, whether the caulk would hold them together) because it's still sitting in my house, waiting for me to bury it in a veggie bed.ReplyDelete
: )
I was thinking about the terra cotta pot thing, but decided to wait on getting the ollas as to avoid using glue. Let me know if you ever put the pot in the ground and if it works :)ReplyDelete
Have you tried to put the caps back on the jugs to slow the flow of water on the bottom? Might be worth a try. You may have to put a tiny hole in the cap to keep the jug from collapsing.ReplyDelete
I did put the caps on, but that didn't slow it down much. I've just got too many holes. On the bright side, I'm not out a whole bunch of cash and I can water deeply :) Thanks for the tip though. I'll use it when I put in my updated jugs that will have maybe 10 holes instead of a 100.ReplyDelete

Will do. Another thing I'm thinking might work is actually using more terra cotta clay to attach them together. I know craft stores carry it (or at least I think I remember seeing it) but I don't know how water-tight an air dried clay would be.ReplyDelete
Not that I'm against supporting the Dervaes -- I love them and try to order my seeds from them but the ollas always sell out before I can afford them. : )

I did this on a smaller scale with old 20 oz bottles that my neighbors donated. I found that if I poke a hole ever 2 inches(+/-) and add fabric to the inside it slows down the water distribution rate. Keep the opening above ground so you can add water if it gets too dry out.ReplyDelete
The fabric (clean socks and natural fabrics) holds the water, but also lets it be released into the soil as the plants need it.
You do have to change it out seasonally or when you change plants so as to not cross-contaminate; should any bad micro-bugs (or what-have-you) decide to hang on in the fabric.
It works pretty well over here in Berkeley =)
Did you stick with this, or pull them out? I'm worried that any variation on this system would become a breeding ground for slugs and snails.ReplyDelete
I left them in and keep caps on them. i don't have a snail problem because of my chickens and electric fence. i wouldn't imagine that they would be breeding grounds for the slimers unless you got a lot of foliage that is staying wet. these underground watering things are strictly for roots.ReplyDelete

I won't mince words. This episode was terrible. I'm not talking about the content, because it was fine in the manga. I'm talking about the crappy animation and the really, really crappy pacing. I felt like I was watching the entire episode in slow-motion. I can tell that the anime team never wants to do a filler arc again, but they've gone too far in Shippuden. It's like they blew their entire budget on the first scene with Sasuke. I don't necessarily have a problem with them stretching out fights with filler, but if they're going to do it they should be adding combat scenes that are fast-paced like ninjas should be, not just playing things at half speed like they did in this episode. I lol'd when Naruto and Sakura got hit head on by Kakashi's water jutsu, and basically just got washed away, said "Oh nooo, our clothes got wet" and carried on like it never happened. Also, Kakashi's segment on Gaara after the preview made me want to vomit. It still is a kid's show, after all...
To you anime viewers who are enjoying this purely for the new content, take my advice and try reading the manga. I'm being totally serious here when I say that the animation is actually detracting from the scenes more than black and white images do. The anime has no soul anymore.

And I'll second everything Zek said as well, anime only watchers deserve to know they're being fed inferior Naruto, in terms of storytelling and what not.

Overall, I'd have to say I didn't find this episode as exciting as I anticipated.... the one thing I really liked was the music they used during the entire first scene (probably about the first 7 minutes). I stopped watching the fillers about halfway through, so I don't really know what kind of music they had been using, but I found the orchestral music to be much more atmospheric than some the previous background music. I also felt that the sound effects of what was actually going on matched up better with the orchestral background rather than some upbeat JPOP tune.

On the contrary i quite liked this episode. I dont read the magna so i was quite satisfied with the way things were paced in this ep. The animation wasnt the greatest but the BGM made up for that.
Im actually quite glad their going at a slow pace, i dont want the anime to catch up to the magna too fast, and going with a slow pace creates a build up, at least for me.
As for the actual ep, it was awsome. Gaara using his insane powers without hesitation, and with pure control. You can really see how far he has grown in this ep since his childhood.
An as for the test of sakura/naruto, it kept me intrested. Naruto's understanding of the sharingan and kakashi's weakness, and how he used them to formulate a plan shows naruto's growth. In fact the plan was almost perfect simply because it required the least amount of effort and was easy to put into action.
Over all i would have liked to see some of naruto's new tech's but oh well that would be so fun if they showed them all in the beggining of the series. Way to go sakura, i wonder how much Ino has grown...

As far as I'm concerned they really screwed up this episode. First off, the bell test was meant to be more orf a lighthearted fun exercise, at least that was the impression I got from the manga (yeah yeah, "come at me with intent to kill" whatever, it didn't feel that way at all), so why all the dramatic music? But if they didn't use dramatic music like that, there would've been too much contrast between the two scenes that they kept switching between. Which brings me to the other point, WHY THE HELL DID THEY HAVE TO KEEP INTERUPTING THE FIGHT? I mean, I understand why they did it, and it makes sense since in the manga bell test one minute Naruto and Sakura are fine and dandy and the next panel they're all worn out, and later on in the day, so it makes sense. But dammit, it doesn't make for a good fight!
Well, at least they made Deidara more manly looking in the anime.

It feels like watching fillers again..... wait...... I actually am!
This was a real shitty episode! I haven't read the manga.... well now I have cause I became curious if this was really "naruto", and as i guessed, it wasn't!
LESS THAN A CHAPTER! that tells pretty much.
omg I feel like throwing up!
After hearing Deidara saying "soon" like 10 times and waiting for his fucking hands to eat that shit up. It was like he was gonna show his triumph card, but after waiting 10min to see what would happen, he made 6 birds which blew up in like 5seconds.
And Kakashi's fight was just lame, Kakashi feels like as powerful as a squirrel right now, Juunin my ass, that was genin class.
made a fireball through his mask, some retarded water spell, flashbacks etc. etc. I can't stand it!
Is this supposed to be all Kakashi's got!?? And Naruto and Sakura!? It feels like they haven't gotten stronger at all, at least Sakura can hit hard, but that's about it!
ep 1-2 really blew me off, but now It feels like I'm only watching Naruto because of the BGM.
If they continue to make 1 chapter / episode, I don't feel like watching Naruto anymore, seriously!
The ONLY good thing is, that maybe the last episodes will be good since when the manga is finished, the anime team won't have to hold back on the manga chapters anymore.
I'd still like to have the good old Naruto back and another filler arc that I could just skip like last time, instead of having a full season of mediocre episode which are still 70-80% filler! that ruins naruto more than the filler arcs imo, since now, even anime based on the manga arc is fucked up.
at least Naruto was good for 135episodes before the fillers started. Now it feels like the only good episodes of shippuuden will be the first 2 episodes.
WTF is this!?

I think one of the worst things was showing that Naruto's rasengan is about equal to Sakuras punch. And punching is alot more viable than having to stand around for a few seconds waiting for the chakra to mold. Edit: I mean, yeah, it's good to know that Sakura has become so strong, but Naruto using it (wasn't in the manga) just seemed silly. I can't put it into words properly at the moment since I'm listening and singing along to Primus, though.
Another thing that annoyed me was Sakura saying "He's behind the tree", telling Kakashi they know where he was. The way Naruto was going, he wasn't actually going to announce that, and actually do something ninja-ly for once. Then again, Naruto is a dumbass, so I can see why she'd think he was still a complete dolt, but still!

7/10, slightly better than last weeks offering.
Strange, I actually enjoyed this episode. I just hope they seriously up the pace very soon.
What Tsunade said in the preview has made me a little worried. It would kill the mood completely if the next episode keeps switching between Naruto cleaning toilets and Gaara fighting for his life against Deidara. The animation team aren't that stupid...right? h
+ Apart from how Gaara looked, the part where Gaara chased Deidara through the village at the start with his sand was pretty cool.
+ There was something cool about how Gaara told Deidara about there being no bird like his in the desert. :P
+ Seeing another character get re-introduced.
+ The new music that played when Kankuro was looking for Gaara.
+ I liked how the entire population of the Sand village can do nothing but watch the fight in awe.
+ Gaara creating an arm out of a huge amount of sand. I loved the comment Deidara made afterwards about the geographical advantage Gaara has.
+ It was nice to see Naruto and Sakura realize just how amazing Kakashi is.
+ Naruto's plan to defeat Kakashi. Naruto and Sakura never had a chance of beating him in a serious fight, the only option being to use his perverse taste against him.
+ The cliffhanger ending.
- Gaara looked like an alien at start when chasing after Deidara with his sand.
- I can't believe they started showing flashbacks of what happened 1 minute ago!
- Since when has Kakashi had the the ability to do seals at the speed he did them at?
- They did a flashback about something that had only just happened in the episode AGAIN. Do the animation team think we're all goldfish or something?
- You would assume Deidara would be more creative than throwing lots of slow explosive birds at a wall of sand.
- The episode lacked intensity and decent pacing. We want to see fast action, not Deidara throwing useless explosives at Gaara.

A lot of people hating on Shippuden. I have to agree. The promise of the first two episodes seems to be gone. The pacing is waaaaay too slow. It's like pulling teeth.
I always got the impression from this fight in the manga, that Deidara was an intelligent and analytical character. But the filler added to this fight makes him more bomb happy and incautious. Too many useless bombs.
The bell test takes away from the fight and I wish they would have done it earlier like in the manga. I hope the anime team could learn that they can do an episode without Naruto getting significant screentime. The preview does make me worry that we will juxtaposition between the fight and Naruto doing stupid "filler" tasks.
At least it was cool seeing a few seconds of Shika, Kiba, and Rock Lee. Lee with nunchucks!

Is it just me or did this actually feel like HALF a manga chapter? Lol. Seriously, almost nothing happened really.
By the pacing of the first 2 according to the manga, I was hoping that by the 3rd or 4th we would be seeing the other characters grown up, but I expect maybe in 2-3 more episodes, sadly. The filler in these episodes is getting to rediculous proportions. TBH I almost prefer complete filler episodes to this. When you show flashbacks from 2 minutes ago, (Kakashi seals) it's truly laughable.

I bring good news... well, kind of. At least, I think it is good news. Okay, okay. I won't drag it anymore.
According to the TV ratings for all the series that have aired between Feb 19 - Feb 25, episode 3 for Shippuuden didn't make the top 10 list for TV shows. Remember, that Shippuuden 1-2 made the 6th place with a 8.0 viewer rating, so not making an appearance in the top 10 chart is an alarming aspect if one is the producer of Naruto. If episode 4 doesn't make the top 10 either, then it might jarr a few decision maker to try to improve the rating. And how do you improve rating? Why, by airing stuff that will appeal to an wider range of audience, and not just those brain-dead kiddies who like shiny things.
Here is to hoping episode 4 won't make the top 10 either in the ratings.
This is indeed a "what could have been" anime as evident from those momentary flashes of brilliance showed in one of those episodes that are few and far in between.

Well everything pretty much has been said already... My main gripe was the unimpressive fight between Deidara and Gaara. Sand chasing the bird, bird evading, it just went on and on. Then finally Deidara does something back and it's some silly exploding birds. I've seen more impressive things from genin, and this is supposed to be a powerful member of Akatsuki? Don't make me laugh. Or cry.

Finished watching this Chapter, for me it was OK, I liked it better than the last one.
I have no complaint with the Animation or the Music, the filler part didn't bother me too much either, c'mon guys, we have to accept that fights will be plagued with fillers. Maybe the speed of the Kakashi Bell test fight look kind of slow, but It didn't bother me.
IF I'm going to complaint on Something, is just Kakashi doing The Katon Jutsu. So, Next Chapter is in the 15th???

Heh is it weird that I enjoyed the "bell" scenes more then the Garaa fight?
The way that they got the bells off of Kakashi was unique but it wasn't the method I was expecting.
Does anybody else remember way back near the beginning of the anime when Kakashi fought Zabuza? Because Kakashi used his Shariagan so much it exhausted him for days. My memory is a little fuzzy but THAT is Kakashi's true weakness. In the bell scenes Kakashi was even showing signs of fatigue, having to rest so often. It just annoys me that Naruto or Sakura didn't think about that when they were trying to rack their brains about Kakashi's weakness. Heck he even used Zabuza's water dragon. Why didn't they think about what happened when Kakashi fought Zabuza?

Pope Francis: Awesome spokesman for his faith, beater enthusiast, secret superhero, and now, Harley owner. I bet you didn't think this dude could get any cooler. Well HE JUST DID.
Actually, it's former Harley owner. The Associated Press reports that a 2013 Dyna Super Glide owned by His Holiness just went for $327,000 at the Bonhams auction in Paris. Money from the sale will be donated to charity Caritas Roma, which helps homeless people in Rome.
Now, it's not clear that the Pope ever rode the bike, as it was a gift given to him by Willie Davidson, motorcycle designer and grandson of the company's co-founder. But the fact that a Pope, current or otherwise, owned a Harley-Davidson is unfathomably awesome.
Know what else sold at the auction? Harley-Davidson leather jacket signed by the Pope that went for about $78,000.
Pope Francis, man. Is there anything he can't do?

The Moose Lake-Willow River football team struck fast and ground it out in the familiar old-fashioned Rebel way to defeat the fifth-ranked Hawley Nuggets by a score of 35-22 in a quarterfinal game played on Friday, November 9 at Husky Stadium at St. Cloud State University.
The Rebels amassed 385 yards on the ground with Michael Pender leading the charge with 188 yards on 26 carries (7.23 per carry), including ML-WR's first quick scores on runs of three yards to rocket the Rebels to a 14-0 lead as Ben Moonen missed the first kick, but Jake Disterhaupt went left and held the ball just inside the pylon to get the two point conversion.
After an excellent line drive on-side that Rebel Jeremiah Chavez recovered, it was Pender again from three yards out with Disterhaupt on his two point reach for 14-0 with 1:55 still remaining in the first frame for a stunning 14-0 as Hawley hardly seemed to know what hit them.
Disterhaupt, who would end the game with all three of the Rebels' next scores, ran for two TDs and caught a 10-yard perfect pass from Tony Adamczak in the right corner for another, racked up 125 yards on 24 carries (5.21 per carry). Disterhaupt popped free for a TD run of 26 yards in the second quarter and had a 15-yard jaunt following a long sprint by Michael Gassert to set up that score. The 10-yard TD toss from Adamczak capped off Moose Lake-Willow River's scoring. Moonen, after missing the first kick, was true on his last three boots.
Rebel Brett Hawkins played a whale of game. Hawkins was in on about a dozen tackles and he had a pass interception. Also standing out on defense was Pender. Captain Jake Christopherson anchored the middle line. It was Pender who made a pass interception late in the fourth frame to virtually salt the game away.
The 12-0 Rebels advance to play 10-2 Jackson County Central in a Thursday, November 15 match-up at the Metrodome to see who gets the coveted berth to play in the Prep Bowl with a State Championship on the line. Moose Lake-Willow River has not been shy in letting people know they are hoping for a rematch with Caledonia as a measure of their abilities, which for now do seem quite impressive with trick left in the bag. But be it a grind it out game, the Rebels will be hungry for the football feast the day after Thanksgiving.
Prior to the game, longtime Rebels Assistant Coach James Bohaty was recognized during the ceremonial coin toss for his years of service to Moose Lake-Willow River football. Hawley won the toss and elected to kick to the Rebels.
Disterhaupt returned the opening kick from right to left and almost made the corner to the 34. Gassert went left for a couple. A pitch left to Pender came up short by a about a yard and ML-WR elected to punt. Moonen's punt got one good hop and one backward bounce.
The Nuggets went three and out with their punt from the 32 taking a long roll to the Rebels 33 at 8:23. Disterhaupt went middle right for nine. A pitch to Pender went around the right to the 30 at 7:45. Disterhaupt tried the left counter for six. A middle run by Pender was a first to the 18 at 7:28. A middle left to Disterhaupt made it second and three from the 11. A right pitch to Pender took it to the one, but a pitch to Disterhaupt was well-played by the Nuggets and a loss of two yards left at 6:00. Pender went left middle and went in standing behind a big block by Layne Johnson for 6-0 at 5:36. Moonen missed the kick.
A beauty of a line drive off the shins worked to perfection with Chavez coming up with the recovery on the trick kick. Pender hit the right side for four. Disterhaupt got a couple left. A pitch to Disterhaupt was a first at the 20 at 4:16. Pender went middle left for six. Gassert pounded the middle for three. On third-and-one Pender went left to the six for a first down at 2:50. Disterhaupt hit the middle to the three. It was Pender plowing the middle for the TD. On a run around the left side, Disterhaupt had the presence of mind to switch the ball from his left arm to his right hand and to extent it inside the pylon and over the goal line for the two point conversion to make it 14-0 at 1:55 of the first quarter.
Hawley was able to extend a drive into the second frame that culminated with a great pass and catch down the left that Pender was unable to do much about. The Jordan Harms to Hunter Lawson pass-and-catch covered 36 yards and the PAT by Gary Althoff made it 14-7. The Nuggets seemed to be a bit revitalized with 9:19 on the clock.
Moose Lake-Willow River wasted little time answering. A squib kick was adeptly handled by Moonen. A Disterhaupt left run netted five and a middle charge by Pender behind his big line was a first. Gassert was gang tackled for second-and-six. Pender went weaving his way for a first all the way to the 26. Disterhaupt popped through the left side and was gone on a 26-yard dash for a TD and Moonen nailed the kick straight through for 21-7 at 7:20.
The Nuggets fought right back and with three first downs sustained a drive that ended with Chris Buttke taking it in from two yards out. Althoff hit his kick again and, at 21-14, it was definitely still anybody's ball game with 3:09 until halftime.
Moose Lake-Willow River started a drive and got a first down, but was unable to keep it going and turned it over on downs at :45. Hawley wasted two improbable opportunities to go for a long run or pass with successive false starts, and back to the 29, time expired with ML-WR up by just a touchdown at 21-14.
The Rebels kicked off and Moonen and B.J. Young made hard hits. Hawkins was twice in on tackles to limit yardage. The Nuggets got a first at the 43 at 10:43. Hawkins and Cameron Schmidt thumped a run. The Nuggets tried a fake punt with a pass that became what appeared would be a successful tipped screen pass, but a hold brought it back and Hawley had to punt.
With the Rebels with good field position on the 48, at 9:05, Hawley called timeout. Pender hit the left side for 22 yards. A second left run went nowhere. On third and long Disterhaupt tried. Pender hit the middle and was short by a yard. Disterhaupt literally high jumped the pile and flipped for a first over the center hogs. Pender hit the middle to the 15. An out-pass to Disterhaupt was nothing. From 15 yards out, Disterhaupt made a wiggle move left and cut inside to scoot for a 15-yard TD. Moonen hit the PAT for 28-14 at 5:52.
Hawley was sustaining good drive four first downs, but a fumble ruined it and Young came up with the fumble recovery for a huge on the eight at 2:15.
Pender went right for four. It was Gassert breaking free and rambling for long yardage to the 40, plus he had been yanked down by a reach-around facemask and the penalty was tacked on. Disterhaupt ran a counter for six and followed with an up-the-middle smash-mouth run to the 13. Disterhaupt went to the 10, but a second down run went nowhere. Adamczak lofted a pretty little pass and Disterhaupt got in front of his man to make it look easy for the TD. Moonen was again good. ML-WR was riding a much more solid 35-14 lead with 11:21 left to play in the fourth frame.
Still, Hawley was not done. Even after Hawkins intercepted a pass for their second turnover of the game, excluding the line drive trick kick, the Nuggets had something left.
Disterhaupt looked like he might have a real back-breaker on a long run down the left side, but it was brought back on the Rebels' first and only holding flag back to the 25 at 10:35. A couple of middle runs and a counter netted little and ML-WR punted. On the coverage, Jon Evenson made a wise decision downfield not to sling the receiver out of bounds to avoid what would have been a personal foul, plus an illegal block had been called on the Nuggets. ML-WR took one interference call to the 50. It took a bomb by Harms to Ben Ellefson to put the Nuggets on the board. The big pass-and-catch was followed by a two-point on the left side from Harms to Alex Ames for 35-22 at 3:37.
The Rebels were able to eat some clock with a first down by Gassert and worked it all the way to the one for much more time gone. Disterhaupt was stopped at the one for fourth-and-one. Of course, the Rebels went for the TD, but they were said to be assisting the runner and the call appeared to be correct. With the runner having ended up in the end zone, it was a touchback by rule and the Nuggets would have only 1:38 to try to put up two quick scores.
One run by Harms was for 14 with ML-WR in a prevent defense. The prevent worked as Pender stepped in front of a desperation pass for the Rebels' second interception and Hawley's third turnover. At 1:06 of the victory formation and a couple of knees.
Moose Lake-Willow River, at 12-0, would be advancing — hopefully to get past 10-2 Jackson County Central at the Dome on Thursday, November 15 at 2 p.m. — and if all goes as planned, to get their season-long wait to get the grudge match with the undefeated and top-ranked Section 1 champs, the Caledonia Warriors, who have twice defeated the Rebels in Pre Bowl championship bouts.
After the game, Head Coach Dave Louzek gathered his troops. "Look at the scoreboard," he said. "You put up those points; that was with mistakes. You do that and play that perfect game, nobody will be able to touch you guys." On the way out, finally exiting the stadium, the beloved Louzek stopped by a few fans leaning over to congratulate him. "Thanks," he said. "That's you people. Thanks."

i've got two words for you - Kate Beckinsale.
she's baaaaad. bad as in good, of course.
You know, the movie probably has another stupid name here. We use to change the titles over here, even tho I can't get the reason why.
I always try to avoid Adam Sandler's movies, but if everybody says it's good and Kate Beckinsale plays a role, I'm definately going to watch it.

Frustrated about opposition to his payday industry reform measure, Rep. Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio, said he tweeted a promise to lobby for city ordinances curtailing the expensive short-term loans if his bill fails to pass the Legislature.
That prompted the payday industry to send texts to customers, urging them to call Villarreal's office in protest, he said.
"One of the industry groups got excited about this and sent a text message to their customers around the state getting them to call me because I was going to take away their access to payday loans," Villarreal said at a Capitol press conference. "We got a number of phone calls," he added, "but not what they were expecting."
Many callers conveyed strong complaints about the industry's loan products. A typical comment: "I got into one of those and it's the last thing I'll ever do again. Do away with them as far as I'm concerned." Other callers were simply confused: "Do I owe you something? Are you a bill collector?
All in all, Villarreal said, "it was quite enlightening to hear from many of their customers."

A self-proclaimed spiritual guru in India has sparked outrage with his callous remarks about the gang rape of a 23-year old in India who succumbed to her injuries on December 26.
The Times of India quotes Asaram Bapu's speech to his devotees:
"Only 5-6 people are not the culprits. The victim is as guilty as her rapists... She should have called the culprits brothers and begged before them to stop... This could have saved her dignity and life. Can one hand clap? I don't think so."
CNN IBN reports that his spokesperson Neelam Dube has since come out to say that he has been misrepresented by the press and that he was just warning his female devotees to be careful. "His statement is being misquoted...he just said that the victim is 1 per cent to be blamed," Nube said. "She shouldn't have taken that bus. He was just asking his female devotees to be careful, media is misquoting him."
India's ruling Congress Party has since called on him to withdraw his comments. Many have blamed misogynistic views and moral policing on the part of many Indian policemen and policymakers for India's horrible record on sexual violence against women.
Meanwhile, five of the six accused in the gang rape and murder of the 23-year old were brought to Delhi's Saket District Court for trial but a ruckus created by lawyers that denounced a lawyer representing the accused delayed the court proceedings. It also forced the court to allow an in-camera trial that prevents the media from reporting any of the news without the court's permission. Their next hearing is scheduled for January 10.
The sixth accused could face charges in a juvenile court as police still wait bone-density test results.
You can see Bapu make the comment in the clip via CNN IBN:

Water Rings is a Windows Phone 8 game that is modeled after the childhood water game, just without the need to fill things up with water. Just like the child's game, the goal with Water Rings is to float a series of rings through water and land them on pegs.
Water Rings adds spiffy graphics and sound effects to an entertaining casual game for your Windows Phone. Water Rings may not appeal to everyone but it's not a bad game to pass short bits of time. It's also a great gaming title to have in the Kid's Corner for our younger audience.
From the main menu of Water Rings you have options to jump into the game, view your playing stats, access the settings, view the about screen, rate the app and upgrade to the ad-free version ($.99). Settings is basically turning on/off the various sound effects of the game and turning on the Kid's Mode (easy mode). You also have a help section and a mute button on the main screen.
Game play is spread out across ten levels with levels progressively adding more rings and pegs to the playing field, ranging from one peg and three rings to three pegs and thirty-three rings. Where the classic toy game has button plungers to generate the bubbles and currents to guide your rings, with Water Rings you tap the screen to generate the bubbles and tilt the Windows Phone to guide the rings on to the pegs.
Water Rings is really a simple game to pick up but you'll be surprised how challenging guiding those rings on to the pegs can be. Especially when your score is based on how fast you can get all the rings on the pegs.
Water Rings Toy
The graphics with Water Rings is really nice and gives the game a nice aquarium feel to it. Sound effects aren't bad either. Water Rings may not appeal to everyone but the developer has done a commendable job of replicating the classic toy water game.
Water Rings is a free, ad-supported game for your Windows Phone 8 device. You can get rid of the ads with a $.99 in-app purchase. Water Rings can be found here in the Windows Phone Store.

I haven't posted blogs for the past few months, so I thought I'd share a little bit about what I have been doing. Here's a blog I posted on the Women's Center for Leadership site earlier this summer.
Have you seen that TV show "Love It or List It?" Couples collaborate with two experts: a designer who attempts to renovate their current home, addressing their issues so they will love it, and a realtor who tries to find a new home with the things they need. I always want the home owners to make the modifications and improvements they need to stay. I like the idea of building on the past and improving a home full of memories. I enjoy the creative process of envisioning how that home can adapt with the family. I am always a little disappointed when they throw in the towel and move, which is sort of ironic because my husband is a realtor. For me, there is something about the emotional connection to the home and optimism for the future. Continue reading
