I am trying to speak to as many as possible so i am writing this in a blog.
I think that the Daredevil timeline Milomilk made (thank you, Milomilk) should be merged with the official timeline. I think that it can be edited better through the merger than the "giving suggestions" method currently in use. The present blog is untouchable so i can not edit grammar or consistency in this method and i dislike telling someone grammar. I like just doing it.
Anyhow, i think that it is ready for a merger, but i need permission from others and i don't have the skills.
Opinions, please...

So I am once again in the dating scene at 40 plus years old. I do not look my age, so that in itself is a major plus. Usually I have a lot of luck with online dating. I am usually on there for a short period of time and then meet someone and end up in a relationship. This time around seems very different. I still get a fair amount of men that message me and seem interested, but first off, they are way too old for me and secondly I have met no one I have clicked with yet or that I am attracted to. Of course since my last divorce I am being more picky this time around so I don't end up with the same type of person again. Wondering if any other women out there are noticing a difference or a dry spell with online dating ? And please don't say that I am being too picky, the last thing I need is to just date anyone and get into another bad relationship. Isn't going to happen (=
Most Helpful Guy
I use to be on various dating sites. And always found that starting in late March/beginning of April the quantity and quality of potentials picked up.
Not only animals, but we humans start coming out of hibernation around that time. LOL!
Just like plants. spring is a time to start anew. a new take on life. And generally people want someone to do things with in the summer. Give it a bit of time00|00|0
LOL thanks. I will, but I am still hoping to do it face to face I like that so much better then this online stuff.
Yes if you can do a face to face that is so much better.
Thank you for BA.

"No Pressure Sales"
I bought my first new car from this dealership because of the great salesman I encountered in 2002. Now 12 years later I can say the same thing. I just bought a new vehicle yesterday, mostly because I found something that I really liked but the other deciding factor was the no pressure sales man that assisted me.

As I stated, I only intended to use this test when CC is not defined in Configuration. As it is, anyone who uses anything other than gcc has to edit it already. Guessing the compiler does not make this any harder, AFAICS, and gcc is still chosen if it is a valid option. I'll happily add lcc to the guesser - any others?

Weekly Food Prep Creates Easier, Faster And Healthier Meals
Whenever I want to write about dinner recipes my dilemma is "should I go vegetarian? Should I do meat? If I do meat--what kind?" My husband said to write venison recipes---good idea---we'll save that for another time! Decisions, decisions.
Whenever you cooking meat make sure that you cook slow cooker meatballs bbq to 160 degrees, chicken to 180 degrees, and pork to 160 degrees. When thawing frozen foods, don't try to rush the process, simply take the time and allow the food to thaw in the fridge.
Sloppy Joe for Doggies is one of the easiest meals you can prepare for your dogs by combining stir-fried pork meatballs or beef, boiled eggs, cooked plain oatmeal, a jar of baby food green beans, a jar of baby food carrots, and some cottage cheese. It is a simple recipe that can make your dog bark with delight. You may make a big bowl of this recipe and give a portion to your dog each meal. Store unused portions in a sealed container and then refrigerate. If unused after three days, discard.
Get a big red Beefmaster and lop off a few slabs for a sandwich. Decide for yourself how Mister Stripey stacks up to Brandywine. Make a salad, a casserole, pizza and italian meatballs. Eat the tiny ones like popcorn. See for yourself if Great White tastes like sharks.
Put in the crabs and fry until the crab shell slightly turning to red color. Add in the water, tomato sauce, sugar, corn flour, miso paste and salt. Stir evenly and cover up to cook until the shell become red slow cooker recipes vegetarian in color.

Air. Water. Earth. Fire.
After a long, fulfilled and yet exhausting life, Avatar Korra passed, being succeeded by Sari of the Earth Kingdom, who died early and didn't play a role in history.
The current Avatar is Asura of the Fire Nation, who mastered the elements quickly.
Although she thought she would never play an important role in history, she was proven wrong when the black ships arrived. The first one came in peace, but all the following carried a deadly load: WAR.
A war even the Avatar and her allies can barely end, one that threatens to end the worlds involved.
Now, more than ever, ending the war is urgent, for that for both sides it is either victory or death, for that this war could be the end of all of mankind.
Previously in Avatar: The War of the Worlds
Mike tries to assault the Führer and Olizon, but fails and gets struck fatally. Asura leaves Luo, Kiruya, Zolu and Malu to confront Johnston and Olizon alone. Kiruya resurrects Mike, before the four (without Mike) leave to aid in fighting the League's Space Force. Jan's invasion force's spearhead reaches Washington D.C., while the European Space Fleet arrives in the Solar System to stop the League's forces.
Engagement - in battle
Zolu got hold of a stick of some sort, and pulled himself up on it, until someone pulled it away from him. He fell again, and realised that this someone had been Malu. Noticing it had been Zolu who'd grasped her staff, she got to him and helped him up, careful not to touch his left hand, which was covered by a very improved electrified glove. Zolu took a glance around, seeing Luo trying to burst the door open, but failing. Zolu shook his head as Kiruya handed Malu three cans, which Zolu only swiftly saw, noticing them bearing colours, each another one, red, white and blue. However, the Captain then got up and walked to the metal door again, and turned the wheel locking it. After it didn't swing open, he kicked it open, and swung Space Sword to eliminate any potential resistance to the door's left, as it swung to the right. An injured soldier clothed in a similar uniform as the Wehrmacht's fell to the ground, and tried to rise up again, only to be met with the sword's cold and ancient steel, which was stuck through his chest. After Zolu pulled the blade out again, he made way for the other three, and they began their sprint to what Malu determined to be the hangars. They ran down a narrow corridor, being fired at from behind after about a dozen metres. Luo spun around, and, making use of his own uniform, he shot his metal cables forth, and crashed one of the three approaching riflemen into the other two, only to resume running afterwards, to catch up with the others. They had chosen a steep set of stairs leading upwards, and so Luo followed them that way, overwhelming two charging soldiers, who tried to sneak up on the others, who fended off an attack from the front. Kiruya had encased a few bullets mid-flight, while Malu tried to hold them off for Zolu to strike, but as he failed to come close, and almost was struck by a bullet, he just thrust his sword there. It impaled one of the shooters who constantly increased in numbers, before Luo managed to rip off a sheet of steel off the ceiling, which he hauled towards their enemies, knocking them all down.
The four followed the track of destruction, soon coming to a loud room, with dozens of soldiers positioned around a stairway which lead downwards. The room was just above the ship's reactor and propulsion units, and the constant sound made it nearly impossible to communicate, or to hear anything in general. So, it went unnoticed that Kiruya's icicles struck down soldiers from the rear rows of soldiers, until Zolu managed to get close enough, and decided to shock one of the soldiers. The glove, which was connected to a small generator through a wire, emitted a lightning, one that threw Zolu back and struck the soldier he'd aimed it at, before it jumped over to the one nearest to him, and went onwards in striking down soldier after soldier, and electrified the metal ground, before Zolu had found a way of turning it off. The result was a smoking stack of dead or unconscious bodies around the stairway into the hangar area. Without much thought, Malu leapt down, and sprinted, armed with the three aerosol cans of hers, to the next - and only - fighter bomber she found. It was, alike any vessel of the Reich, marked with swastikas, which Malu now began to cover with the European insignia, a red circle surrounded by a white one which itself was surrounded by a blue one. Soon enough, the hangar's personnel had got reinforcements and had opened fire on the sole Air Nomad, until however the other three came to her aid. Heavy fire from all around met them when they had arrived at the spacecraft's open ramp. Luo instantly began to rip pieces out of the floor, ceiling and the walls, to shield themselves, but found it dispensable when the first bullets began to penetrate it. He threw the massive pieces of metal at the few riflemen around, crushing their bones, before he noticed Zolu taking out a soldier who had managed to sneak up on them on the fighter-bomber's left side. Due to the great number of enemies, Zolu decided to take the man's rifle and all his ammunition for it, and crawled on the spacecraft's top, drawing the attention towards himself, sniping several of the enemy soldiers, before resuming to a direct assault, jumping on the ground again, and charging towards the nearest aggregation of enemies, firing the assault rifle as doing so. Just then, the massive gates of the hangar began to open.
"I'm finished, get in the plane! They're gonna suck us out into space!" Malu yelled, and so, Zolu ran as fast as he could towards the closing ramp, tossing away the rifle and ammunition as he leapt through. He landed inside and almost instantly took the pilot's seat.
"And what exactly should that be?" Malu asked, and gestured towards Kiruya, whose bloody hands now operated the radio unit, and to Luo who had taken control of the AA-machine gun.
"Er... I thought I'd fly this- "
"Well, you won't. You don't have any training flying such a fighter bomber, I even saved our lives once, remember?" Malu spoke as the Captain, grunting, stood up and chose the co-pilot's seat instead. Malu turned on anything she could find switches for, and, once the ship was floating, opened fire and it around, leaving the other ships destroyed or damaged. Then, she flew it out into space, her - and everyone else's - jaw dropping at the sight. Hundreds of spaceships, opposing each other. The League's force being led by the massive Germania, the European by the infamous Nemesis.
"Kiruya, get word to whoever leads the European Space Fleet now that we're on their side," were Malu's orders as she approached the battle formations' centre, where the two battleships were to meet.
"Alright, you all know the procedure. We strike first, and we strike fast. While the Germania is immobilised, we can send our fighters to destroy it, before we break through the centre, and then encircle one of the two halves of their forces, and annihilate it as quickly as possible, before we deal with the rest. Oh, and get word to all forces of the Allies that should we fail, they have to prepare for the hardest battle ever fought. Got it?" Anna shouted, walking around. "Yes ma'am!" was the only answer she could hear, and before long, one of the communications officers rose his voice, "Ma'am! We've got an incoming call from a fighter-bomber!"
"And why exactly should I care?" Anna responded uninterested.
"Well, they demand to speak to you."
Anna rose an eyebrow and walked to the communications section, and took a headset. "...Anna Visconti? Can you hear me?" a female and distantly familiar voice sounded through.
"Yes, loudly and clear. Why are you disturbing our preparations, and... WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!"
"Malu of the Air Nomads. You met me at Aang Memorial Island, when you discovered our planet, remember? With me are Kiruya of the Water Tribe, and Captains Zolu and Luo Beifong. We journeyed the past two years with your official superior, Grand Admiral- "
"Oh, Mike... I assume he is alive then, he survived Operation Phoenix?" Anna sounded relieved and worried at the same time.
"Yes. Or rather, he was when we last met him about half an hour ago, though, he WAS dead... Anyway, we disturbed you because, well, we pilot an enemy fighter-bomber and want to aid you in any way possible, and... "
"You may, in case you have painted European insignia on it. Just shut up already," Anna spoke before throwing down her headset, and turned to walk to the bridge's front again, as suddenly a fighter-bomber sore past the Nemesis' bridge, and then turned and headed for the Germania.
"Open fire already! Fire at will!" Anna ordered, as Olaf entered the bridge from behind, asking, "Don't you want to fire the Tesla Gun first?"
Anna shushed him at naming the secret weapon the Nemesis had been equipped with, but then realised he was right anyway. But by then, the electricity had already been directed to the coil- and plasma guns, which now opened fire on the mighty battleship in front of them.
"Sir! We are under attack!"
"I noticed that, idiot! We need time to prepare the Anti-Matter Cannon, we need another ship covering us! We need all the energy to prepare the weapon, and for that period, we haven't got the shield, nor any other weaponry, so we need another ship! FAST!" the enraged Supreme Commander shouted. His scared subordinate obeyed, and soon enough, the last other ship of the Germania-Class arrived at her side, the Bismarck. The volleys coming from the Nemesis and her sister ships, the near Red October, the Garibaldi, the Napoleon, and the Gustav Adolf were piercing the massive armour of the flagship as if it was paper, but then the sister ship arrived and countered, flying in the Nemesis' line of fire. Stuart smirked as other ships grouped around his, guarding it from every side. Victory was, at last, at hand.
Both Anna's and Olaf's eyes widened at what they surveyed happening around the Germania, especially the Bismarck guarding it. "Keep firing! But more importantly... we need to get our Tesla Gun going! Hurry up!" Olaf ordered as he noticed Anna running towards the radio section.
"Malu! Or Kiruya! Or Captain Zolu or Beifong or whoever! We are in need of your help now..." Anna's voice emitted from the radio. Malu's and Zolu's glances met as they both shared a thought, and they grasped the levers controlling the propulsion, turning it up to the maximum, before both grabbed their respective steering sticks, and narrowed their eyes at the massive accumulation of enemy spaceships before them.
The battered Grand Admiral stumbled through the gate of the estate he had called his own for the past days. His two guns were of no use anymore, without ammunition and the strength to hold any of them. Kiruya had healed him with Spirit Water, she had resurrected him, actually, but its miraculous powers began to wear off. Using his rifle as a crutch, he made it to the house's massive portal. He believed he had too little strength to push the door handle, not to speak of opening the door, but somehow, by leaning his weak body against it, it swung open. He only knew one room in the building to have a first-aid kit, the bathroom, and so he hurried to it. Growing weaker with every step, he couldn't hold himself upright any longer after he pushed the door leading into the bathroom, which was lavish as any room of the house. Laying face-down on the floor, he lifted himself up, and crawled forward on all fours, to the mirror, below which a sink was installed. He took hold of the porcelain, and pulled himself up with support from his legs, and leaned on the sink as he examined his reflexion. A massive burn scar ran from his left cheek over his nose bridge and the area around the right eye to end just above his right temple. His hands were burned altogether, all covered in burnt flesh of his own, the scar stretching up to halfway between his wrist and elbow, on both arms. He pulled himself together and let go of his hands' support to wash his face. He turned on the water and formed a bowl with his hands, to gather water which he then splashed over his face - only to discover that the ordinary water burned the scar, which now opened up again, like the fire that had caused it. At the same time, his strength left him once and for all, and his feet slipped. His upper arms and the elbows crashed into the porcelain sink, smashing it into pieces. The cry of pain following would've been deafening, had Mike found strength to scream. Instead, he just laid there, the previously cicatrised wounds bleeding again. The first-aid kit he had come for was just below the former sink. He closed his eyes at the pain of raising the hand and his burn touching something. After opening it, he took the dressing material and attended his three bullet wounds. The projectiles which had caused them weren't in his body anymore, therefore dressing the wounds was all he could do. First, he opened his uniform, and then just wrapped the part of his chest the wound contained with dressing material. Then, he clothed his upper body again, before slipping down his trousers a bit to reveal the second wound of his, which he then dressed the same way as the previous. Pulling up his trousers again, he faced a dilemma: he couldn't sit upright or move his twice wounded leg to dress his third bulled wound. Looking around, he noticed his rifle laying just out of reach. He then pushed himself towards it with his left, uninjured leg, before using the rifle for the same purpose, to get to the wall, against which he leaned. There, he used his two arms to get his right foot close enough to take off the shoe and the sock, after which he fished for the distant dressing material using his rifle. Then, he proceeded as twice before, but was careful using dressing material so the foot could still fit in the shoe. After the long and painful procedure, Mike found the pain in his hands unbearable. He remembered a pair of gloves he always carried around but never used, which were in his haversack. He took them out, and, under greater pain than anything he had done since his resurrection, he put them on. At first, the leather severed the burnt skin and flesh, but then, it fit perfectly, almost merging with his hands, forming an artificial, robust skin. Mike remained laying there and inhaled heavily for a couple of minutes, before he took his Lee-Enfield and pulled himself up, being supported by the wall. He had a grim, determined expression. "I'm going to help Asura, and nothing or no one can stop me! Neither gods nor spirits, no king or man can stop me! Hold out Asura, I'm coming!" he screamed to no one in particular as he limped forth to the garage, where he had hid the Valkyrie. After a few minutes of painful and exhausting walking, he had reached it, the massive fighter-bomber of his, and opened the ramp in the back. Slowly making his way to the pilot's seat, he pulled several levers, and the ship came to life when he had reached the seat, and sat down on it, it was fully operational. Pushing a small button, the ramp closed, and pushing another, the four forty millimetre coil-autocannons switched from ordinary to explosive ammunition. The battered Grand Admiral then turned on the engines, and grasped the steering stick once the ship floated. On it, two trigger-like buttons were installed, which he both pressed at once. Four autocannons ejected explosive shells, all aimed at the unopened garage gate. Through of the massive fireball he created, Mike flew his Valkyrie. As he took a look up, into the sky, he noticed that the Team was not alone in this fight, for the European Space Fleet had arrived already. Smirking, he piloted his obsolete fighter-bomber towards the rapidly rising armed and armoured yacht Aria.
Another. The tank's fuel burnt after the shell's explosion had ignited it. Jan had destroyed yet another tank, but still, his gunner failed to reconnect the headset with the radio. The invasion's spearhead inched forward slowly, coming under heavy - direct - artillery fire. Furthermore was infantry now advancing as well, armed with AT-rocket launchers. He switched to the machine gun installed directly beside the main gun, and opened fire on the few advancing soldiers, mowing them down like a scythe mows down the meadow. And yet, the resistance intensified, no matter how hard his tank unit pressed forward. Finally, the gunner shouted something to the marshal, and the two switched their positions, Jan taking the headset on as he climbed up to man the AA-machine gun again. "Attention all units! The Reich has constructed an anti-matter cannon, with the capability of destroying an entire planet, in the past months, and have scheduled its first use today. Should the European Space Fleet, which encounters the League's forces now, fail, you must prepare to fight with utmost valiantness to still bring defeat upon the Reich and their sparse allies, or else we shall all fall. Allied Headquarters over and out," spoke a voice through the radio all of sudden. Jan was startled at first, but then, once it had ended, he established a connection with the Air Marshal, Paul Miller, whom he ordered, "Paul! I need you to hit the enemy lines immediately! We need to advance as fast as possible! No time to debate, just do it already! Jan over."
He truly didn't give his Air Force colleague any time to answer, only time to obey, as he switched to the naval commander, Admiral Sally O'Brien, whom he then ordered, "Sally! Can your ships reach the enemy artillery positions in Washington with any kind of weapon? If so, shell said positions with all you've got, now! We've got no time, just hurry!"
After a few minutes of silence that followed Jan's orders, the enemy launched another counterattack. A few tanks had gathered, and opened the attack by taking out three European tanks, hitting another nine. Infantry streamed towards them, trying to distract the European forced from the tanks and the AT-units advancing through the vastly destroyed city. Jan had noticed their attempt, and also noticed something more important: their own motorised and mechanised infantry had arrived. Hundreds of machine guns opened fire on the sparse enemy infantry, while tank guns slowly took out enemy tank after tank, before, however, all of sudden, shells and missiles joined the Europeans in their fight - the naval and aerial bombardment had begun anew. In the chaos it was causing, the enemy attack attempt soon had given up and retreated as fast as possible. Noticing it, Jan yelled, "After them! What are we waiting for?!"
The armoured vehicles then slowly moved towards formerly bitumised roads, and then, in columns, slowly moved into Washington D.C. proper, Jan's tank leading them all. The bombardment had hauled up much dust, but now it was decreasing in intensity, the dust settled, and revealed something Jan had never thought of seeing. The massive flag pole, which the Nazis had erected in place of the Washington Monument, flying a flag - the only flag it ever was meant to fly, the Victory Flag, the Siegesflagge. It was an ordinary Reichskriegsflagge, with golden ray-like figures emerging from the swastika, only fabricated for one purpose, to be flown at the day the Reich defeats its enemies. Today's not that day, Jan thought, before screaming it out loud, "Today's not that day!" later, after a few seconds, adding, "We can't let them win neither, this battle, nor this war!"
Following his shout, he ordered his tank's driver, "Get me to that flag pole, no matter the resistance we will encounter, get me there. I need to do something about it."
The driver only nodded, and turned the tank directly into the flag pole's direction.
"Attention all units! The Reich believes it has achieved victory. But we are going to make sure to prove them wrong. All ground units participating in Operation Agamemnon, advance into Washington D.C. Marshal Svoboda over and out."
The woman walked hastily into the next room she could find, and there, closed the door behind her and took off her hat. It appeared to be a toilet room, so she had to hurry. She moved to the mirror and began to arrange her hair in the topknot she was used to arrange it in. After a few minutes, she had skilfully committed her task, and took her hat to see if it could hide the topknot. After noticing it fitted perfectly, she left the room again and, instead of reporting to her superior like she should have, she ran down the corridor to the back of the ship, only to take the stairs leading upwards there. After having found the lavish staircase she had searched for after having sped down the corridor, she examined her surroundings. A gas pipe for the heating system disguised as a column was all she could notice to be unusual, and so she decided to scan the pipe further, until she realised the gas inside, according to the label Natural gas, was highly flammable. She smirked before making her way up the stairs, and pushing the heavy wooden twin door open, behind which she found the room of the two dictatorial brothers. Lavish, was all she could think, so lavish. What she was doing wasn't exactly her idea of sneaking into something, but still she tried to be as quiet as possible. The room was enormous, it had a glass cupola, a parquet floor, and its walls were decorated by marble and granite reliefs.
"It escapes my memory that I have ordered you here now... "
The cold voice the Führer had pulled her out of her little daydream, as the Fire Lord and the Führer together approached her. She decided that it was upon time, and she took off her hat again, and ripped the swastika from her uniform.
"I don't recall you intended to call me here at all, in fact," Asura stated. Tanook/Johnston and Olizon both were shocked at the realisation that she was not dead, but in fact standing right in front of them, the Führer stuttering, but yet remaining calm, spoke, "But that's imp- impossible! You should- should've been reincarnated by now!"
"As you can see, I have not," Asura stated, before she decided to haul a chunk of granite from behind them at them, and she added, "AND AS YOU CAN FEEL!"
The rock struck the two into their respective backs, throwing them forward. Asura took the moment of confusion to get a better position. As the two got up, they were met by an air swipe in their faces, but Johnston drew water from the air and skilfully launched ice spikes at Asura, while his brother incinerated everything in his path before attacking the Avatar directly with a heavy barrage of blue fireballs. Asura met those attacks by ripping out a sheet of metal from beneath the stone cover, which she used as a shield. Without thinking about possible consequences, Olizon generated lightning and fired it at the barrier. It shattered upon the bolt's contact, and the Avatar had to think of a new way of fighting two masters of their arts. Tanook used her moment of weakness to strike her with a number of icicles he drew from thin air. Asura shattered them with her fists, and drew pieces of rocks from behind her forward, and shot it at the two like bullets. However, Olizon anticipated it, and raised a wall of fire, which he then shot towards her. Asura parted it, and herself generated lightning, hauling the bolt at the Fire Lord, who redirected it to join forces with his brother, who bent water from a pipe Asura had broken to use the metal. Tanook rode towards her on a wave, while Olizon shot her own lightning at her, and she had no means of evading - or so she thought at first. She made use of her airbending once again, this time she made herself fall faster, and so out of the way of both attacks. Spinning around to stand again, she bent the Führer's water, and grabbed Olizon with a water whip, throwing him into the attacking Johnston. The two, however, didn't strike each other as hoped, instead, Tanook ducked, unleashing a water jet at her, while the Fire Lord propelled himself over his brother and then resumed to use his most powerful attack. He snapped his index and middle fingers, extending them at once, while stretching his had. A ray of pure heat shot forth towards Asura, but she took a piece of rock, a little water, fire and air to form a barricade against the powerful attack. Nonetheless, it blew her back, and threw her against the glass of a window, which then started to crack. A fireball hit the weakened Avatar in the stomach and threw her out of the ship, but only seconds later, she burst through the glass cupola roofing the room with a massive fire blast. She stood up, but before she could strike another time, Johnston had grasped her in his bloodbending grip, and Olizon was preparing to end her with combustion. That was when her eyes lit up. She simply redirected it into the roof with a powerful air blast, briefly knocking Olizon out with another one, before directing her attention towards Johnston. It was not her, but a past life of hers who controlled her, and so, she bound his hands and his feet together with chunks of stone she had bent before, and was about to end his life, when the glow leaved her eyes. She slid down to her knees, and tried again to end him with a simple fire blast, and again, the third time with lightning, but she failed to put it to an end. She stood up and spoke, somewhat regretting, "I killed dozens of soldiers who surely were less guilty than you, but yet I fail to kill you, a mass murderer, a totalitarian dictator?"
It then was the Führer who struck first.
Notes and Trivia
- The scene of Mike struggling to even stand was partially inspired by the British/German film Rush, and thus by the story of the Austrian Formula 1 driver Niki Lauda.

WooCommerce & PayPal Subscriptions
I have been trying for days to figure this out and I am unable to. I am using woocommerce for subscriptions to sell digital goods. Everything is working from the time someone subscribes (it places the order in processing) … even when I cancel a subscription in PayPal it will cancel in the store and when I refund something it shows refunded in the orders.
The problem I am having is when a customer cancels a subscription in the My Account page or I cancel a subscription in the store, it does not work. Nothing happens on the paypal side.
Here is what the log is spitting out:

Real Name: Jerry Lee Bowen
Aliases: None Known
Wanted For: Murder
Missing Since: June 2000
Details: Jerry and Brenda Bowen had been married for nineteen years and had two children when Jerry had an affair and the two divorced. Brenda ended up with their home and real estate in rural Alabama, and Jerry received an apartment just a hundred feet from their main home. On January 28, 1997, two years after the divorce, Brenda mysteriously vanished from her home and her car was found abandoned in a wooded area. Her ex-husband Jerry acted suspiciously after her disappearance and appeared at the site where her car was found. He was brought in for questioning by police, but they had no evidence against him and he was released.
Two months after she vanished, Brenda's body was recovered from the Coosa River. Authorities were unable to determine if Brenda died of suffocation or from drowning because her body was so badly decomposed. Jerry Bowen became the prime suspect in her death. The killer wrapped Brenda's body in bed sheets that matched the ones in her house and her body was bound by rope with a bowline and slip knots, which were favorite knot types of Jerry. According to Brenda's father, James Breckenridge, Jerry was in financial trouble. Brenda told her parents shortly before her murder that Jerry had come to her, saying that he was in trouble and that they needed to get back together. She told him that she needed to think about it. Jerry had allegedly threatened to take her back to court. Eventually, Jerry Lee Bowen was charged with Brenda's murder. Twenty-nine witnesses testified against him at his trial, and even though the evidence was circumstancial, it was enough to convice a jury of Bowen's guilt and he was convicted of his ex-wife's murder in April 2000. However, in June, just days before he would be sentenced, Bowen vanished. Local police and the FBI searched through Bowen's dwellings and found shocking Internet activity that involved violence against women. In a six month period, he had visited over 5000 websites about violence towards women, hard-core pornography, and cannibalism. Bowen is on the FBI's most wanted list and is considered extremely dangerous.
Extra Notes: This case first aired on the July 19, 2001 episode. This case was also covered on America's Most Wanted and I (Almost) Got Away With It.
Results: Captured. In December of 2004, an Unsolved Mysteries viewer recognized Bowen as a man she knew as "Steven Starbuck." Despite denying his identity, his fingerprints were checked and he was arrested. He was given a life sentence for the murder of his ex-wife.

HOUSTON – An 18-wheeler and a Houston Police patrol car collided on an access road of Interstate 45, injuring both drivers, late Monday night, Aug. 4, 2014.
According to Houston Police, the tractor trailer was moving through the intersection of Cavalcade Street and the I-45 feeder road when a police car running its emergency lights entered the intersection and collided with it.

I don't believe that we were just fortunate that our 4 night stay (5/22 - 5/26) was a great vacation at Grove Isle. I honestly feel that any negatives I could mention in this review were merely things beyond the staff's control.
Everything was as advertised and we had exactly the room that we reserved. The location is great. The staff was friendly and attentive. We did not have any real complaints to test the staff's ability to handle unhappy customers and did not witness any disgruntled guests.
The one problem we did have was that we were not able to receive an internet signal in our room for the last 2 days of our stay. Oddly enough, we could get a signal down at the pool just not in our room. We called the front desk and they said that the internet was working and no one else had complained of this. I do believe that if we had pressed the issue they would have done whatever they could to try to help us with our problem.
The time we were there is their off season and found the hotel very quite and empty. Had the pool all to ourselves most of the time. A short drive away we were able to find all the people, noise, and activity you could want from downtown Miami. Eventhough we were there during two NBA games and there was some light construction it was only 10 - 15 minutes to Downtown or South Beach.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Prestigia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Cancelon, TripOnline SA, Hotwire and getaroom.com so you can book your Palmeiras Beach Club at Grove Isle reservations with confidence.

Applesauce Doughnuts/Donuts
READY IN: 30mins
Recipe by angie_pangie
I got this recipe from an online friend, and they sound delish, so I thought I'd save them here! Let me know what you think!
Top Review by cause4chubbyhubby
Awesome all the way around....flavor, heaviness, crispiness, ease... and I even reduced the sugar! Love 'em, and will be making them VERY often.
See Discussion:7 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup applesauce
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- vegetable oil, for frying
- cinnamon-sugar mixture
Directions See How It's Made
- Beat 1-1/3 cups of the flour and remaining ingredients (except oil and cinnamon/sugar mixture)with an electric mixer on low speed, until just blended.
- Stir in remaining flour and beat on medium speed for an additional 2 minutes.
- Cover dough and refrigerate for about 1 hour (dough should be stiff after refrigeration).
- Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a fryer or heavy (3 quart) saucepan to 375°F (for perfect doughnuts use a themometer).
- Divide dough in half and roll each half out on a well floured pastry board to 3/8" thick. Cut with a well floured doughnut cutter, or use a 3" cup and a clean pop bottle lid for the center.
- Carefully slide cut doughnuts into hot oil, using a wide spatula. Cook 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time, so as not to lower the tempeture of the oil too much. Fry 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Carefully remove from the oil (do not prick) and drain on papertowels.
- If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture while still hot.

Lionel Richie - Sunday 27th March 2011
Following his special AFL Grand Final performance in October, iconic performer Lionel Richie will be returning in March 2011 for a tour of Australia and New Zealand's finest indoor arenas and A Day on the Green wineries.
After leaving audiences in raptures on his sold out 2007 tour, Richie will be back to have everyone dancing in the vineyards at Centennial Vineyards, Bowral on Sunday March 27 – with special guest, everyone's favourite fro Guy Sebastian.
This is the fourth and final A Day on the Green in Bowral for our landmark 10th anniversary season and we couldn't think of a better way to end the celebrations.
In a career spanning over four decades, Lionel Richie has consistently bowled over critics and won legions of fans with his phenomenal repertoire of hits. Following his stint in popular 1970s funk band The Commodores, Lionel Richie was further propelled to fame with his self titled solo debut in the early 80s which led to him becoming a household name across the globe.
Richie's music, a phenomenal catalogue that includes infamous pop anthems 'Dancing On The Ceiling', 'All Night Long (All Night)' and powerful ballads 'Hello' and 'Endless Love', is universally renowned and widely beloved. The winner of multiple Grammy Awards, Lionel Richie's enduring vocals, smooth charm and mesmerizing stage presence have long rendered audiences in awe and continue to impress:
"By the show's close, not only is that deep, rich croon as effortless and powerful as ever, but Richie, having clearly saved the best for last, still has the energy to essay an extended, eyebrow-raising hip gyration to a disco megamix of his hits…Richie's every action is geared towards audience satisfaction and giving the crowd what they want." – The Guardian (4 stars)
"When he hit the heavy, heavy, horn-driven breakdown of 'All Night Long', his magnum opus, the venue erupted…This is your opportunity to rock out on the biggest stage with the best. Take it." – The Age
Richie's 2007 Australian tour, his first in 20 years, had audiences in raptures with the consummate professional winning over both fans and critics alike with his on stage charisma and hit-laden set list and this upcoming tour is sure to follow suit.
Supporting Lionel Richie on tour will be Australia's very own soulful pop star Guy Sebastian. Of the opportunity, Guy said: "Words can't describe how thrilled I am to be invited on Lionel's tour. He's a living legend and has always been an influence on me...I grew up with his music in my ears."
Guy has enjoyed notable success from his five previous studio albums and after completing a lengthy stint as a judge on X-Factor, is currently celebrating the release of Twenty Ten – his first greatest hits set with the addition of two new songs and an acoustic compilation. The album debuted in the Top 10 on the ARIA Album Chart and was Sebastian's sixth consecutive release to do so.
Hot Adelaide quartet Lowrider will open the show. Two albums and hundreds of live shows later, Lowrider are a testament to the fact that the most integral part of being a successful band is making good music. With no gimmicks or special effects, this foursome have managed to build a solid reputation with their fusion of soul and funk, as evidenced on their most recent album 'Round The World'. With support slots on the Lupe Fiasco and Alicia Keys tours, Lowrider are ready to hit the big stage again.
Come and be serenaded by Lionel Richie on his tour of Australia and New Zealand in 2011, it is a show not to be missed and the perfect Valentine's Day gift for yourself and your loved ones!

Tour de Bowral…
The Tour de Bowral fund raising event that took place last weekend at Bowral Health Club was a huge success, with the gym raising over $1300 for the Ben Mikic Foundation. Despite the sweltering heat, 30 riders rode their hearts out, with Jen and Teysha taking turns at leading the riders through a series of hill climbs, sprints and jumps. Well done to all those who participated in the event, it was a for a great cause. Also, a huge thank you to Bowral Health Club for organising the event, and a particular thank you to Jen and Teysha for their leadership on the day!

Tour de Bowral…
Tomorrow a group of brave gym enthusiasts from Bowral Health Club will take part in an exciting 12-hour charity ride, Tour de Bowral, to raise money for the Ben Mikic Foundation. Riding in teams for 2-hour blocks from 6am on Saturday morning, Bowral Health Club will donate all proceeds directly to the foundation. Local radio station 2ST will cross live to the event throughout the day, keeping the community up to date with the progress of the riders. With prizes up for grabs for the participants who ride the most kilometres in each team, the event is set to be a fun day for all involved. If you are in the Bowral area on Saturday and would like to make a donation, there will be raffle tickets available for purchase at the gym.
About the Ben Mikic Foundation
On April 27th 2007, Ben Mikic, a talented 15 year old racing cyclist from Mittagong, NSW, was tragically killed in a collision with a car during a training ride three days after he had been selected to join the elite young rider's team at the Illawarra Academy of Sport. Ben had proved himself as a gifted athlete in Road and Mountain Bike Racing. Ben's life goal, like many teenage cyclists was to ride in The Tour de France. Unfortunately, his gifted athletic ability was not enough to keep him safe on the road.

Illawarra Fly Tree Top Walk
The award-winning Illawarra Fly Treetop Walk is one of Australia's premier rainforest experiences. Located in the Southern Highlands, less than two hours from Sydney or Canberra, it offers a new and unique way to experience the rainforest and breathtaking views of the Illawarra Escarpment.
Treetop Walk
The Treetop Walk is a unique attraction which enables visitors to experience a 1500-metre walk through beautiful, warm temperate rainforest. The uniqueness of the attraction in comparison to other rainforest walks is that 500 metres of this walk are nestled in the treetop canopy some 20-30 metres above ground level. The walkway culminates in Knights Tower, a spiral tower that rises to a breathtaking 45 metres above the forest floor. Then there's the thrills and challenges of two confronting swaying springboard cantilevers suspended 25 metres above the forest floor which take guests to the edge of the escarpment.
Sunrise Walk
Rise early for this unique dawn rainforest experience with the spectacular Sunrise Walk on offer on the second Saturday of every month. Take the Treetop Walk in the morning to take advantage of the beautiful light the sun casts over the landscape as it rises – truly magic. At sunrise, the views are not only amazing but the birds and local wildlife are quite active too. Sunrise Walks run for three hours from 6 – 9am, with times varying slightly depending on the time of year. Visitors will walk with a guide followed by a delicious hot buffet breakfast at Cafe 106. Numbers are limited and bookings are essential. Sunrise Walks cost $50 per person, including breakfast, and a 10% discount is offered to groups of ten or more.

Only Two Per Cent of UK Adults Would Use NHS '111' Service
A survey of over 2,000 UK adults has highlighted that only two per cent would access the troubled NHS 111 service in the first instance of a medical complaint, whereas a fifth (20 per cent) would put more faith in the advice of their friends and family.
The survey, conducted by HealthExpress and YouGov, looked to canvass people regarding their experiences within the NHS. The results indicated that the majority of people (57 per cent) would still rather see their GP when first experiencing symptoms.
This is despite a third of people (34 per cent) saying that waiting times put them off seeking medical advice from their local GP, with a quarter of people in Northern Ireland waiting a week or more for the next available appointment.
Regionally, the lowest uptake of the 111 service was in Yorkshire and the Humber, with not one resident willing to use the helpline. The region with the highest number saying they would make use of the service was the North East (7 per cent).
Despite concerns with the 111 service and GP's waiting times, almost half of respondents believe the NHS does still provide a good service (48 per cent), however a third (33 per cent) of people agreed with the statement that 'they have felt let down by the NHS at some point in the last five years.'
Dr Bram Brons, Medical Director at HealthExpress commented: "With the negative press 111 received at the beginning of the year, it's not surprising that people are sceptical of accessing the service, however it's a shame as it could really become part of the solution to help our over-subscribed GP's services and A&E departments.
Both telephone and online consultations can efficiently help people gain advice on how to treat an ailment at home or escalate the issue so they see the appropriate professional. As the NHS looks to further digitalise its services, they need to look at how the private sector has pioneered the telephone and online consultation model, and start trying to build confidence with a concerned public in order for more people to access 111."

William Shakespeare
Pedro Martinez
William Shakespeare
I am writing about William Shakespeare. The first reason I chose this person is because I have never heard of William Shakespeare. Another reason I chose William Shakespeare is that we are learning about biographies.
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford- upon- Avon, United Kingdom, in 1564. He was the third child in his family.
William Shakespeare went to King's New School. When he was 7 he went to Stratford Grammar school. At the age of 13 he had to leave school because his dad had money difficulties.
William Shakespeare liked to write poems. He wrote lots of poems. He also wrote 38 plays. One of the plays he wrote is As You like it. He is considered one of the best poets.

VATICAN CITY -- A recent "open letter" by Swiss Fr. Hans Küng to the world's bishops is off target in its criticism of Pope Benedict XVI and shows a lack of charity, an article in the Vatican newspaper said.
Fr. Pier Giordano Cabra, the former editor of Küng's works in Italian, said Küng's letter focused almost exclusively on reforming church structures rather than on renewing the hearts of church members and promoting their ongoing conversion.
Küng, in a letter distributed by The New York Times Syndicate April 16, said Pope Benedict has worsened relations with Anglicans, Jews and Muslims and failed to give adequate responses to modern problems such as AIDS and the challenges of new scientific discoveries.
Regarding the sex abuse crisis, Küng said many people expect a personal apology from Pope Benedict, who he said had helped engineer a "worldwide system of covering up cases of sexual crimes committed by clerics" when he headed the Vatican's doctrinal congregation.
With the clerical sex abuse scandal "crying out to heaven," Küng wrote, "the handling of these cases has given rise to an unprecedented leadership crisis and a collapse of trust in church leadership." The church, he said, "now finds itself in the worst credibility crisis since the Reformation."
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
Küng taught with the future pope in Germany in the 1960s and had his permission to teach as a Catholic theologian revoked by the Vatican in 1979.
Vatican officials and many bishops have credited Pope Benedict -- when he was head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith -- with creating much stricter guidelines for dealing with abusive priests and easing procedures for removing them from the priesthood.
Cabra's brief article in L'Osservatore Romano April 23, written as an open letter to the Swiss theologian, did not get into Küng's claims about the handling of clerical sex abuse but instead focused on the theologian's assertions about Pope Benedict, the way he runs the Vatican and his reading of the Second Vatican Council.
The Italian priest also took issue with the tone of Küng's letter, which he said lacked charity.
"Truth is necessary, but 'the greatest of these is love,' which generously recognizes the work of others, which neither opposes nor divides (and) which does not highlight faults," Father Cabra wrote.
"Perhaps if your letter reflected a little more of the hymn to charity, it would have been a more elegantly evangelical greeting" to the world's bishops "and a more fruitful contribution to the church, which is suffering because of the weaknesses of its sons," he said.

The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands
by Ladursa Sivakumar
Physical Features
The St. Lawrence Lowlands has a continental climate because this region is not located near any oceans and the average annual climate is above 25oC and receives less than 1000mm of precipitation. The climate in this region is affected by latitude since the area is somewhat near the equator, the St. Lawrence lowlands doesn't have extremely cold winters but does have hot summers. However, the city of Toronto has a moderating effect because of nearness to the Great Lakes. The St. Lawrence lowlands climate is also affected by winds and air masses because of the jet stream which occurs when a hot front and cold front collide and so this brings a cool breeze to this region. The jet stream also causes this region to receive cyclonic precipitation because of the collision of the cold and warm fronts, but the region also receives convectional precipitation in the summer because of the warm temperatures. The St. Lawrence region receives lots of sunlight and has humid air, and the humid air rises out, precipitation occurs.
Continental glaciers have transformed and shaped the St. Lawrence Lowlands landscape into what it currently looks like now. In the past, there have been numerous amounts of glaciations; however, the last one which was approximately 18,000 years ago covered the entire St. Lawrence region with 2 enormous ice sheets. The land was pushed downwards because of these ice sheets and caused the mountain and rocky land to erode into flat lowlands with rolling hills. The last glaciations also deposited till which created one of Canada's famous tourist attractions, Niagara Falls. This region was also shaped through the process of two tectonic plates moving apart from each other which is called Divergent. This created a valley in between which we now know as the St. Lawrence River.
In the St. Lawrence Lowlands, the soil is very rich & fertile and perfect for growing crops. This is because the St. Lawrence Lowlands was once flooded by the sea for a long period of time and organisms & plants left many layers of sediments behind after falling into the sea. Furthermore, plants have a lot of time to grow since in this region, the growing season is long. The plants will eventually die, and when they decompose, they help add a natural organic layer on the topsoil level. There is a variety of vegetation in this region because this region provides a great growing environment for plants and crops.
During the Paleozoic era, many sedimentary rocks were created and these sediments were compressed for over millions of years. Therefore, the St. Lawrence region mainly consists of sedimentary rocks and minerals which are within rocks. Some examples of minerals include iron, copper and zinc. Also, it is likely that there were metamorphic rocks are the erratic rocks from the Canadian Shield deposited in this region by glaciers.
Business Activities
The St. Lawrence region has some of the largest industries because of the natural resources there such as minerals, soil, forestry and water. Manufacturing is one of the largest industries in the region because the landforms and physical features are good sources for materials required for producing goods. Usually, the factories in this region are built near:
- water (transportation purposes and hydro-electricity to run the factories)
- where an abundance of minerals can be found
- close to people (more employees for the factory)
In addition, the agriculture/farming industry is also a large industry in this region because this area meets all the requirements for crops and plants to be grown well. This region has rich nutritious calcified soil, moderate climate, not too much precipitation and flat lands and rolling hills, which is perfect for agriculture. Many people in this region grow crops, fruits and vegetables to sell them to factories and this their way of earning money and making a living.
Furthermore, the forestry industry is also a well known industry in the St. Lawrence region because there is lots of vegetation in this region and it consists of coniferous, deciduous and mixed trees. The trees in this region contribute to our daily lives because the trees are turned into things that many people use on a daily basis. For example, newsprint, paper products, pulp, lumber, etc.
Influence of climate change
A changing climate in the St. Lawrence region can create an impact on the region depending on the types of new climate the region will face. Too much precipitation can cause flooding of the Great Lakes, and more precipitation in the winter seasons on the soil can cause erosion in the region. Flooding can also cause disruption for crops and plants, and may have an impact on the agriculture industry as the production of food and medicines would be weak and unavailable. Climate change will also have in-lake effects because there will be a change in temperature in the lakes, creating a change in fish's natural habitats. Moreover, forests cover large areas in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, and they provide suitable living environments for animals and provide great recreational opportunities like camping, hiking, fishing, etc and also provide necessities for humans through the forestry industry. However, with a change in climate a lot can change such as the amount of production made from forests and as a result, forestry industry possibly may not be a large good industry anymore for the St. Lawrence region.
Risk of natural disaster
In the St. Lawrence region, there are risks of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, forest fires and landslides to occur.
- When stress is built up within the region's geological attributes, a sudden movement of the earth's crust occurs, and this is called an earthquake
- Earthquakes can occur suddenly and without a warning
- Depending on the size and harshness of the earthquakes, they can cause very small or no damage to being extremely destructive and dangerous
- When there is constant rain that occurs for many hours for days, there can be excess water that even causes overflows in sewers, this can be described as a flood
- Floods can be very destructive and cause major damage to houses, properties, vehicles
- Flooding can kill animals and their natural habitats and can cause a disruption to the ecosystem because the water becomes contaminated with all sorts of waste
Forest fires
- 45% of forest fires occur because of lighting
- The sap inside of trees are conductors and lighting strikes on things that can conduct electricity, and with large forests in the St. Lawrence, forest fires can occur easily
- Forest fires can cause severe damage as they can destroy wildlife habitats and animals within the forest areas
- The forests can cause a disruption in the forestry industry since the trees are natural resources needed in order for this industry to function and run
- The Forest fires also release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which can eventually cause climate change
-A landslide is when rocks or loose sediments move downwards
-Landslides rarely occur, and when they do, the speed of the landslide can be anywhere from extremely slow to extremely fast
-Landslides are caused by human actions or can just occur because of nature

Woman lights up on plane - and then blames passenger beside her
A woman was arrested after lighting up a cigarette on a plane - and then blaming it on the passenger sitting beside her.
The woman - who has not yet been named - was caught on camera smoking on an American Airlines flight from Nicaragua to Miami.
She is seen lighting up a cigarette and tipping the ash into a tin, possibly a beer can, before shocked passengers call for a flight attendant.
A flight attendant arrives and asks whether she just lit up a cigarette on a plane. She points to the man beside her, insinuating he was the one who lit the cigarette.
The man who allegedly filmed the incident wrote online: "While the plane was waiting on the tarmac for the police to arrive, she leans over to me and asks for a cigarette.
"The pulls one out of her bag and lights up. This is the point where I pull eject and run to the back of the cabin. The police arrive after 20 minutes and escort her off the plane.
"She only had a single drink on the plane (however, others told me she was pounding them back pretty hard in the terminal and she also was on prescription painkillers).
"The irony is that this sociology professor is focused mainly on women's hysteria. Due to this, Customs was closed just long enough that me and most others on that flight missed our connection."
