My sister-in-law gave me this manatee tea infuser. It's bringing me a lot of joy.
Back when I worked at Tealuxe in college, we made a green-tea shake using matcha, simple syrup, milk and ice. I think. It was delicious and fueled a horrendous caffeine addiction.
Matcha is a pretty high quality green tea milled into a fine powder. Rather than steeping the tea, you dissolve the powder into hot (not boiling) water; you can also use it as an ingredient in drinks or cooking (green tea ice cream, for example). Because you're drinking the whole leaf, essentially, and because of the way the tea leaves are grown, the flavor is more intense than regular green tea. I think it tastes sweeter, too. People who care about these things talk about it being very high in antioxidants (because you're consuming the whole leaf). I've been told that it's high in caffeine for the same reasons.
We didn't sell matcha at Tealuxe, and I didn't really ever see it or think of looking for it until I was in Quebec City last weekend and at a lovely tea store that actually sold matcha (full disclosure: I went to TWO lovely tea shops. It was the best vacation ever). Here is the lovely tea store:
The place is called David's Tea, and appears to be a Canadian chain started in 2008 in Montreal. It's very hey-guys-tea-is-super-accessible-and-fun! which is fine and good. The staff were really nice. It's on Rue St. Jean in Quebec City.
Back to the matcha. I bought it and then realized I didn't have a good plan, since it was many years since I worked at Tealuxe and I wasn't really paying careful enough attention.
I ended up dissolving a teaspoon of matcha into a few teaspoons of warm water, then dumping that into the blender along with probably half a cup to a cup of milk and a little bit of simple syrup and a few big handfuls of ice. I blended and it was really good, but not quite as fantastic as I had remembered. I think it might need more matcha?
Do any of you have advice? Do you know how to do this?
It is already virtually impossible in the United States, unless you undertake the job yourself, to get a cup or pot of tea that tastes remotely as it ought to. It's quite common to be served a cup or a pot of water, well off the boil, with the tea bags lying on an adjacent cold plate. Then comes the ridiculous business of pouring the tepid water, dunking the bag until some change in color occurs, and eventually finding some way of disposing of the resulting and dispiriting tampon surrogate. The drink itself is then best thrown away, though if swallowed, it will have about the same effect on morale as a reading of the memoirs of President James Earl Carter.

Holiday Gift Guide!
Still with the tea.
If you have a tea-drinker in your life and they do not have an electric kettle, well, you know what to do. Namely: buy them one immediately.
I got a krups electric tea kettle when I moved into my dorm in high school, and I still use it basically every single day. For this reason, I have to recommend krups tea kettles, but there are a number of varieties at different price points.
Here are the benefits over stovetop kettles:
1. They boil water faster.
2. They boil water more efficiently.
3. They often have a little measurement scale on the side so you can boil just the amount of water that you need.
4. No piercing whistle that feels like someone screaming at you at the top of their lungs until you can get yourself into the kitchen to deal with it. Whistle tea kettles make me feel really tense and harassed. You don't need that.
5. Auto shut-off, in case your tea kettle DOESN'T have a piercing whistle and you happen to be the kind of person that forgets about things and you happily avoid boiling an empty hunk of metal on the stove for half an hour after the water has all cooked off. That smell? It is the smell of you forging metal on your stovetop.
6. The fact that auto shut-off often makes a gentle click, like someone quietly knocking on your door saying, oh, hi there, the hot water is just ready, but don't hurry yourself or anything, it'll still be there in a moment when you're done emailing that person about whether they appropriately budgeted for materials and supplies.
7. If you get a super fancy one, it will heat water to boiling OR to approximately 170 degrees, which is the temperature you need for green or white tea. Look at that fanciness. When my tea kettle finally bites the bullet, I will probably replace it with one that does variable temperatures. (I still love you tea kettle! Let's never talk about this again!)
So, the first kettle pictured is a krups, and it's on sale right now for $60 at bloomingdales. This looks like the current version of what I have. The second kettle pictured is a breville variable temperature kettle, which is also currently on sale, but still pretty expensive at $150.
Holiday Gift Guide!
I was totally going to put together a gift guide, but then I kind of fizzled on the whole thing. I did get most of the way through tea-related gifts, though. And look, I put together a little photoshop montage of teas. I totally have useful skills that don't just involve running conference calls.
So, tea can be hard, because some tea lovers can be quite particular about their tea. We like to mock coffee snobs, but people who live in clear glass teapots with removable infusers shouldn't throw stones at people in glass chemex drip coffee carafes. I am not always so fancy though (shameful secret: I really enjoy Constant Comment tea), so I put together a mix of highbrow and mediumbrow (I was going to say lowbrow, but fuck that! these are solidly mediumbrow!) teas.*
Clockwise from top:
Jasmine Pearl Tea, $28
I used to buy dragon pearl jasmine tea at Tealuxe in Boston, but they also sell this similar tea at Dean & Deluca and the picture on the Dean & Deluca website is much prettier. This is the kind of tea that you need to steep with hot-but-not-boiling water (170 degrees) and it's good stuff. Don't buy this for someone who doesn't really care about tea or can't be bothered to let the water cool down a bit before steeping. It's delicious and fragrant.
I haven't tried this tea, but Juli tells me it's really good. So. Uh. That's the extent of the useful information I have to provide. I would like it.
Harney and Sons Tower of London blend
This is so delicious. It's a flavored black tea with a mix of dried stone fruit, bergamot, and honey and it also makes a wonderful iced tea. The tin is gorgeous, too.
Dean and Deluca Earl Grey Tea, $10 for 4 oz. loose leaf tea
My favorite earl grey tea.
Mighty Leaf Orange Dulce Black Flavored Tea, $6.97 for 15 pouches (currently on sale!)
There are fancy tea drinkers who are all too good for flavored tea. I am not one of those people. It is a flavored tea that comes in tea bags, and it's delicious. I am not ashamed.
Not pictured:
Moroccan Mint Tea, approx. $1/gram, depending on amount
Sometimes you see "Moroccan mint" tea that doesn't have any green tea. That is not Moroccan mint, it's just mint. Moroccan mint tea is a mix of mint and green tea and is wonderful in the summer. It also makes a really nice iced tea.
Mariage Frères Rouge Bourbon Vanille Tea Bags, $20 for 30 tea bags
This is one of my favorite teas, it is so delicious. It's an herbal tea, but has some of the substance of a black tea (it's not like a high end Lemon Zinger). It's a nice afternoon or early evening tea when you don't really feel like pulling out the chamomile and jammies, but also don't want to be awake all night. In the past week it disappeared from the Dean & Deluca website, but it appears it's still available here.
Mighty Leaf Bombay Chai, $6.97 for 15 pouches (again, on sale)
Full disclosure: I haven't tried this, but I still want it. Homemade chai is delicious, but also harder than putting a tea bag in a mug and pouring boiling water in.
* For some, it's not highbrow unless it includes a pu-erh tea, but I'm okay with that because I'm not yet ready for fermented and aged tea cakes.
You might think that if I were having people over, I would offer them fancy cakes or cheeses or somesuch. This is not the case.
Any time I have more than four people in my apartment, I offer tea. If there's more than five people, I force tea upon them whether they like it or not. Why? Teapots and tea sets.
There is nothing I like better than the idea of serving guests tea in a nice tea set. It's elegant, everyone gets their own little cup and saucer, and I get to use my teapots. I have three. I am still dreaming of the event in which I will use all three teapots (I will serve a black tea, probably earl grey, a green tea, and a fruity tisane, unless I shake things up and go for a rooibos (this one)). It will be fantastic.
I used to have a 90-something great-great-aunt who lived in Cape Cod. I am not sure I will ever in my life meet someone so gracious. She went to college in the nineteen-teens and for many, many years ran a successful real-estate business with her longtime (female) partner. She and her partner, and then she alone, lived in this big old impeccably-decorated house on the water with grand entry and a shaded library with a typewriter and the perfect table for doing jigsaw puzzles. In the afternoons, generally after I had spent the day at the beach or playing card games with my brother, she and I would drink tea together and converse about life. She would tell stories of taking my grandmother to the theatre in Boston when my grandmother and her sister were little girls and leaving a glass of juice out on a cold windowsill overnight to make slush. Obviously we drank tea from her very lovely tea set, and I got to add little sugar cubes with abandon because she was mostly blind at that point.
Before she went blind, she was frighteningly good at Scrabble. Multiple bingos in a single game good.
I suspect she knew that I had many sugar cubes in my tea.
A mug with a teabag in it is not the same.
Here we are watering the lawn.
Another note: if you have halfway decent cookies on hand, serving them with tea makes them seem far more elegant than they would otherwise. Shortbreads in particular.
I knew it was a bad idea as it was happening and I was powerless to stop it. I just poured myself a glass of iced tea with honey and mint.
It tastes like magic.
And probably, if I think hard, also like lying awake in bed at 2 am.
I understand that this is an unpopular opinion, but sometimes it's important to express unpopular opinions. I dislike going out to brunch.
There are some exceptions, obviously. If brunch involves raw oysters; caviar, wee pancakes, and sour cream; smoked fishes; a variety of soft cheeses; chocolate souffles; and cocktails, I can muddle through.
Otherwise, I have the following issues with going out to brunch:
1. I get irritable if when I'm hungry. I don't want to wait until noon to eat breakfast if I wake up at 9 am. Certainly, I could have breakfast at 9 am and then brunch at noon, but at that point, I'd rather just get lunch.
2. I can be wearing pajamas if I eat breakfast at home. If I go out to brunch, I need to a. put on pants, b. wash my face, c. brush my hair, d. brush my teeth, e. make sure I have my wallet.
3. Brunch foods are crazy easy to make. You can be half asleep and still make good pancakes. Or eggs. Making good eggs is not hard. You could be basically brain dead and still make bacon. French toast? Really fucking easy. And not only really fucking easy, usually takes about ten minutes. At the very most. Even things like biscuits, or home fries, or omelets are slightly harder, but not rocket science. You can make pancakes with sautéed apples and sour cream and a slice of bacon on the side all in a single skillet (not all at the same time).
4. Despite the easiness, brunch restaurants often mess up the basic stuff. Oatmeal at restaurants is generally shitty. Rarely do they serve steel cut oats, and generally the oats they do serve are gelatinous, or too runny. Things that are sweet are often too sweet, things that aren't sweet are often really heavy. Sometimes I just want some fruit, but the fruit salad is, again, usually shitty. I don't want a heap of cut-up pieces of hard honeydew melon, questionably-ripe pineapple, grapes, and apple slices. Especially if I've got a mango waiting for me at home.
5. Restaurants often fuck up tea. I don't really drink coffee. I drink tea. I don't think this should be a big deal, you know? It's not like I'm too good to drink regular tea and need to have fancy whole-leaf teas. My standards aren't super high. And this is what serving decent tea requires: some halfway decent tea on hand (and honestly, anything beyond tetley will work for me), boiling water, a means to get the tea and the water to the table in a timely fashion. Unless a restaurant is exclusively serving lunch, a meal at which people don't often drink tea, it should be able to figure this out. This is the worst: waiters that bring a cup of moderately hot water, then check on other tables, see what's what, then disappear for ten minutes, then come back with the selection of teas for you to choose from. Or, a variation, waiters that arrive with the mug of water, and then ask you what kind of tea you want, and then disappear for ten minutes before reappearing with the tea. This is the second worst: the waiter shows up with a small carafe of warm water and a selection of teas. In both cases the water is no longer hot enough to make tea. HOW DO YOU FUCK THIS UP? And honestly, the period of the day between getting out of bed and having a cup of tea is not an awesome time for me patience-wise.
6. At $3.50 a carton (what I paid at the local farmer's market this weekend), one egg costs 29 cents. A moderately fancy tea might cost $8.99 a box for 15 teabags, which works out to 60 cents for a cup of tea. Omelets, french toast, frittatas, muffins, soufflés, oatmeal, all this stuff is really, really cheap to make at home. And you can make it well.
In other words, I don't want to haul myself out of bed, put on real pants, leave the house, get myself to a restaurant, to pay to eat relatively unexciting food that I could make myself, easily, at home.
Important Morning Beverage Related News:*
I made iced tea with 1/2 decaf and 1/2 regular tea today, because obviously I have no self-control when it comes to iced tea.**
However, it's chai, and while I did sweeten it, it has to be really sweet to work well with the milk. So I'm drinking it un-milked. Still good.
* I wrote this yesterday and then forgot about it because I do things like that first thing in the morning.
** It turns out that too much iced tea in the morning does not result in a mid-afternoon crash for me. It results in my lying awake in bed for an extended period of time.
*** This may all just have been an excuse to show you a picture of my super awesome teapot. Super awesome! It's one of three, but I try not to play favorites because I love them all.

Why the Dart LS Next Block?
The LS Next block is the first significant change in the bottom end architecture of the LS engine platform. By eliminating the "Y-block" design and utilizing conventional style main caps and oil pans, (stock pans can be used with Moroso oil pan spacers) Dart has addressed the problems resulting from the LS engine's separated crankcase bays. Windage is greatly reduced, resulting in increased power and improved lubrication.
This design change led to several additional improvements. The main webs are significantly stronger because the bay to bay breathing windows are eliminated in Dart's design. Deleting the windows also allows the cylinder barrels to be extended by .3750" into the crank case, providing greater piston support at the bottom of the stroke. Two standard bore sizes are available, 4.000" and 4.125". Maximum bore of 4.220" for iron and 4.165" for aluminim, or optional Darton M.I.D. sleeve kit allowing up to 4.220" bore.
All stock and aftermarket LS components can be utilized. Conventional style 4-bolt steel main caps are used. A 5/8" thick full deck design is utilized for superior strength, with six head bolts per cylinder to provide secure clamping. Dart's priority main oiling system ensures high rpm reliability and includes provision for oil restrictors in the lifter valley.

Stalkers were Byzantine assailants who tried to kill the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze during his stay in Constantinople in 1511.
Stalkers would dress similarly to civilians and wield short blades concealed in their sleeves before attacking. They also carried a large amount of Akçe, as well as rare bomb ingredients.
Stalkers were also active during the Seven Years' War, working for the Assassins, toward the purpose of assassinating Templar Shay Cormac.[1]
Byzantine Stalkers would only appear after Ezio has gained a considerable amount of notoriety, as he had proven himself to be a threat, and when approaching their target, they would blend in with the crowd and conceal their weapon behind their back, waiting for the right moment to strike. Should Ezio look towards them, stalkers would only stand still, appear to look away, and wait for an opportunity to attack him from behind.[2]
They never engaged in open combat, and would only sneak up behind Ezio, stab him, and then flee. However, most of the time, Ezio would wrestle free of their grip and force their hand so that they killed themselves with their own blade. Alternatively, if Ezio recognized the stalker, either by seeing them sneaking up to him or by using Eagle Sense, he could then approach and kill them.[2]
Byzantine Stalkers would also participate in the attacks on Assassin Dens, climbing onto rooftops to kill Assassin defenders from behind. However, as overseer, Ezio could either shoot them with his Hidden Gun or send his Assassins to attack the stalkers directly.[2]
Assassin Stalkers would lay in wait in hiding spots and ambush Shay as he infiltrated Assassin gang headquarters.[1]
- The appearance of a Byzantine stalker is indicated by a white knife on the Animus mini-map, along with an ambient whispering noise and a change in the background music, as they get close to Ezio.
- The appearance of an Assassin stalker is indicated by pulsing, pink vignetting on the screen alongside the whispers. These increase with intensity as they Shay approaches the ambush spot.[1]
- The second set of the Romanies' guild challenges consisted of killing or countering five stalkers before they stabbed Ezio.
- If Ezio turns around just before a stalker is close enough to stab him, Ezio will forcefully push the stalker backwards and send them flying onto the floor. However, this does not kill the stalker, and they will flee if Ezio did not finish them off.
- Killing a Byzantine stalker reduces Templar Awareness by 25%.
- Ottoman guards will chase down stalkers if they witness them assaulting Ezio.
- Byzantine Stalkers generally carried around more money than other enemies. When Ezio or a thief would loot one, around 1000 akçe could be gained.

Why are we afraid to make mistakes?
I recently saw this article and found the following paragraph: "In science, you make your mistakes in public. You show them off so that everybody can learn from them. This way, you get the benefit of everybody else's experience, and not just your own idiosyncratic path through the space of mistakes."
While i'm not sure that all scientists share their mistakes so that others can learn form them, i was wondering why we're afraid to make mistakes at work, for instance? Is it because we are told that mistakes are not tolerated? Could it be our education, from our family and school, that mistakes should be avoided at all cost or hidden when they happen?

Jun 16 2013: First of all, what is a mistake and what is a failure?
It's always about the degree. A failure is something that's almost impossible to correct.
For example, a mistake costing enormous amount of time or other resources can be a failure.
Society has some expectations of people, not meeting them is considered a failure, not a mistake.
That's why actually changing it is so hard.
Making too many mistakes is considered a failure in its own right. More so, if these are mistakes of the same kind...

Does Miley Cyrus know something about her dad Billy Ray that the rest of the world doesn't know that she's going to tell unless he fesses up to the truth? Dah-dah-duuum. The bizarro antics started when Miley threat-tweeted her dad a picture of herself with a redheaded mystery woman and the words: "Since you won't reply to my texts, I'm giving you an hour to tell me the truth or I'll tell it for you."
Shikes! Sounds like a bad line from a soap opera.
After some digging, it was uncovered that the mystery woman had starred in a play with Miley's dad last year. Her name is Dylis Croman. Since Billy Ray and Miley's mom, Tish, are going through a divorce -- well, my mind is going straight to Miley suspecting that Dylis and her dad maybe had a fling? Or are having one? But if so how did Miley end up in a picture with her? How bizarre!
Miley, however, quickly deleted the ultimatum and then posted that ol' "my Twitter's been hacked" excuse that everyone from Anthony Weiner to Amanda Bynes uses when their feeds suddenly pop with bizarro tweets. Wrote Miley:
Wtf? My twitter was just actin all types of cray!
Errr, okay, Miley but that doesn't explain the fact that you were indeed in the photo with Dylis. Doesn't look Photoshopped either, since it's a recent pic, with your very short cropped 'do. Yeah, Miley, if you don't want us amateur sleuths trying to figure out your family's dirty laundry, then don't tweet it at us!
Lesson here? Don't ignore your daughter's texts. Especially if you've got something to hide!
What do you think Miley was saying?
Image via Miley Cyrus/Instagram
trying to ask if that woman was behind her dad and her moms marriage
She needs to let her parents deal with this problem, and not take either parent side, regardless of what occurred or may have occurred. When my parents divorced they both made a conscious decision not to put the children in the middle and they stuck to that rule and we are happy that they did.
Miley Cyrus IMO is out of control ... children (yes, Miley's very childish!) should not get in the middle of their parents' private lives. It's not her business, she needs to tend to her own life which seems to be in shambles ....

It's way past time to cut Israel loose and let it stand or fall.
No more money for Israelis, when our own people are waiting in lines for food handouts, cos we can no longer afford to feed our families, heat or cool our homes, and pay for our ever more costly gas to run our vehicles.
AND it's about time Israel becomes subject to the rule of law, and obeys demands from the UN weapons inspectors to inspect Israeli nuclear weapons stockpiles.
I've no idea how Israel has managed to buy, develop, and increase the numbers of it's hundreds of nuclear WMD's for so long, without UN nuclear inspections or sanctions being imposed upon Israel and it's government for non-compliance...and Israel has the illogical and conceited nerve to demand the rest of the world attacks Iran for Israel, when Iran doesn't even have a single nuclear weapon??!
Who is the real danger in the region?
Iran, who have zero nuclear weapons and never attack anybody?
Israel, who have hundreds and hundreds of very powerful nuclear bombs and missiles and attack and occupy many other nations in the region?
Duh...Cut them loose...if they defy international law refusing UN weapons inspections...sanctions...if they Unilaterally attack Iran (yeah, right...on their own?) without UN resolutions and consensus...sanctions, with possible occupation by UN troops.
This is LONG overdue.

There are several instances of this in the game already, but they are all part of quests.
At Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight, there are several quests, one a daily, where you ride a dragon and shoot down other dragons while in the air.
In Howling Fjord, at Steel Gate, there is another daily where you fly a plane with a machine gun and rocket launcher, to defend the dig site against gargoyles.
There's another dragon daily at the top of the nexus (need to fly to get there)
And lastly, Storm Peaks has a few quests for the Sons of Hodir chain where you fight vyrkul and other dragons in midair, with your own class abilities.
I think more aerial fights were planned for Wintergrasp, but were removed due to balance issues.
I believe that was in beta, but was yanked at the last minute because they couldn't figure out how to balance it. Apparently airplanes were extremely overpowered in Wintergrasp, which is where they were used, because they could just gun down people below them and couldn't die.

Competitive: A few mates flex it on Bondi Beach. Photo: James Alcock
Boys as young as eight have decided they want to look fit and sporty - and think they will be happier if they do - a new body image study has found.
Researchers from Victoria's Deakin University interviewed 70 children aged eight to ten to identify what body shapes boys considered ideal, and compare those with the body ideals of prepubescent girls. They found that by the age of eight children already had definite body ideals, which are influenced by their peers, the media and gender stereotypes.
While girl ideals centred around being skinny and beautiful, boy ideals were intertwined with sporting culture and ability.
"Boys often chose the term fit as it described an ideal body which encompassed their dislike of fatness, the importance they placed on physical abilities, and their preference for masculinity," the study to be published in next month's issue of the Body Image journal found.
Deakin researcher Gemma Tatangelo said she didn't expect boys so young to have such firm and detailed body ideals. "Boys are really concerned with being good at sport and that has big implications for body image and the way they look - and how comfortable they are with the way they look."
Young boys said sportsmen were their favourite celebrities (because of their physical skills), sports games their favourite TV programs. They often cited television weight loss program The Biggest Loser and said they wanted to look like the trainers on the show.
Ms Tatangelo said her research suggests that by adolescence boys' body ideals would be even more firmly established, thus making them much more difficult to change.
Boys associated fitness with sporting ability and muscularity and thought they would be happier if they were more muscular because it meant they would be stronger and better at sports.
Playing sport (usually some form of football) with peers was the main lunchtime activity for boys, and influenced their body ideals. They reported pressure to be good at sport, and said those who weren't would be excluded by others.
Butterfly Foundation chief executive Christine Morgan said body image anxiety among young people is worsening. "Young people link their value as a person to a particular body size or shape," Ms Morgan said.
"They think 'unless I conform to what the ideal looks like [skinny for girls, muscular for boys], I'm not going to be successful'. It goes to the core of their self-worth."
Young, handsome and looking to be perfect
A camera comes out and the first words from one of this clutch of mates bonding at Bondi Beach on Saturday? "OK boys, now flex."
For these young men there is no denying body image pressures play a regular role in their lives. Protein shakes are a daily norm in their diet to keep them in the best - and biggest possible - aesthetic condition.
Johan Philip, 18, says that in his life body image is about achieving peak masculinity.
"It's all about who's the macho, who's the dominant male. And that isn't something new either, that been around forever," he says.
All are actively involved in athletics, but say that pumping iron and getting ''ripped'' require an entirely different sort of workout.
As members of Gen Y, they say social media is a big part of their lives and is most commonly the feeding ground for the ideals of body image and its subsequent pressures.
According to Mr Philip, Facebook and other social media amplify the pressure to look good.
''Especially Instagram,'' he says. ''It's an outlet for body building companies to use, models to use and then we follow them and we aspire to be like them."
They all agree that achieving recognition on social media through ''liking'' has a huge impact on whether they are socially accepted, and to what degree.
"I think 'likes' are really important. You want to have good photos on Instagram so you can rack up a lot of likes, and then come the girls,'' says Mr Philip. ''It's a case of 'can you please like or comment on my photo so it comes back up in the feed'."
But Joe Hardy, 18, says not everyone is on edge about "how many likes they pull in''.
"It's not that important, I mean everyone has different views on it, but I don't need it," he says.
At 21, Mitch Milnes says body image concerns still exist.
"You've gotta look ripped to get girls in the summer," he says. ''And you're always competing against your mates about who's bigger.''
Not only social media, but also real-life social events are demanding: "You've gotta get ripped for stereo,'' he says.

Washoe Deputies say an alert neighbor led to the eventual arrest of 6 suspected burglars in the North Valleys area.
Deputies say the neighbor saw two men at the front door of another neighbor's house in Cold Springs on March 11th. The neighbor stated the men climbed over a fence and then heard a burglar alarm, prompting the neighbor to call 911.
Deputies say they arrived in time to witness the suspect vehicle leaving the area to make a traffic stop. That led to the arrest of one unidentified underage boy and two men for burglary.
A follow-up investigation led to an address in the 1300 block of Lear Blvd. in Stead. They say a search warrant led to the recovery of items stolen in three other burglaries. It's believed the suspects are responsible for at least six area burglaries and other suspects.
Deputies say the suspects intended to continue their activity by knocking on doors of homes that appeared to be unoccupied. If met by a homeowner, they would ask for a friend by name and claim they had the wrong house.
If you have any additional information, call Secret Witness at 322-4900 or text your tip to 847411. Your call will remain anonymous.

The majority of Buffalo Bills fans sported blue home uniforms to show support for their team as they hosted the New England Patriots on Sunday. However, a small group of Bills fans took another take on the encounter, conspicuously wearing orange jumpsuits to poke fun at their rivals.
Ten Canadian men, who identified themselves as corrections and police officers, sported the orange prison-like jumpsuits with Hernandez's name and his former Patriots No. 81 written across the back as they stood in section 102 of Ralph Wilson Stadium Sunday. The men- in-orange posed with Patriots as well as Bills fans alike, and were captured walking to their seats in the photo by decided to upload it up to their Twitter account.
For most of the game the Bills fans in orange jumpsuits could be spotted stop their bleacher seat below O.J. Simpson's retired No. 32 marker in the team's ring of honor. The provided an ironic Hernandez presence at the Patriots' season opener. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady entered the season without his top five targets from last season, which includes the former NFL tight end Aaron Hernandez. He currently sits in his solitary cell at the Bristol County House of Correction back in Massachusetts, awaiting trial on murder.
The guys in orange jumpsuits also had a mysterious effect on the usually disappointing Bills offense, as rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel had two touchdowns passes to lead Buffalo 21-17 late in the third quarter against the Patriots. But the Patriots managed to salvage the game with a field goal in the finals second to grind out a 23-21 win Sunday.
Admittedly, with the Hernandez situation, you are walking a fine line between what can be considered appropriate and that which does not qualify as such. Some may object to making joke about someone who allegedly killed several people, considering the horrible and tragic events that took place.
After all, Hernandez was arrested for allegedly orchestrating the murder of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper who played as a linebacker on the Boston Bandits. Hernandez, 23, faces third-degree murder charges five firearm charges.
But this was apparently done as tastefully as possible. And if you're a Patriots fan, it's time to accept the fact that this is going to last for a while. After all it's in goof fanhood to engage in light ribbing – of the other side. You'd probably think this funny as well if your alliance wasn't tied to the Patriots.
So, the Bills fans get an "A" for the clever costumes and an "A" for execution.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Two local community improvement districts were awarded million-dollar grants by the governor Wednesday, both for major transportation improvements in their areas.
A $1.5 million grant from the State Road and Tollway Authority will help fix one of the most dangerous intersections in the Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District, a press release said.
The money will go toward a $4 million pedestrian safety and congestion relief project at the intersection of Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Singleton Road.
"These are projects that can move the needle on addressing traffic congestion while unlocking economic growth." Gov. Sonny Perdue said when announcing a total of eight grants. "This program is giving local communities a tool to make projects affordable and doable."
The Evermore CID, which is centered around U.S. Highway 78, will receive a $750,000 grant as well as a $500,000 low-interest loan from the Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank.
The money will help with projects including a parallel connector from Hewatt to Parkwood to Britt roads and the realignment of Walton Court.
"One of the reasons that Evermore was selected is the fact that the CID has always understood that land use and development patterns are intrinsically tied to market driven opportunities," CID board Chairman Dwight Harrison said. "This integration of economic development, land use and public policy has resulted in planning initiatives that have linked quality redevelopment to transportation-oriented design initiatives that will contribute to the revitalization of the area."

1. Paint your interior with a new accent wall color. If you've been living with white or beige walls, it's time to add color to your home. Your family will love it and so will you. Here are three great colors you can use on one wall as the accent wall. Pick the 1st or 2nd wall you see upon entering the room for this paint color. Coordinate the other 3 walls to the new accent color in an off white family color.

2. Add new accessories. Pillows, vases lamps and small accessories can add punches of color without breaking the bank. Here are some fun options from Pier One Imports that add interest to your otherwise safe neutral furniture.
Pier One Platter Accent Throw Pillows Pier One Pier One Floor Vase
3. Reupholster a few pieces of furniture like side chairs or an ottoman. Add pattern to your interior in a small piece of furniture. Your punch of color doesn't have to be limited to pillows and accessories. My favorite quick fix source for giving sofas a new look is SureFit slipcover.
SureFit Stretch Suede Slipcover in Luggage Colorway
4. Add a new rug. Rugs provide more than something comfortable to your space – they can add texture and drama. Here is one of my favorites for this season:
Flambe Area Rug through Home Decorators Collection
5. Rehang your artwork. You don't have to spend a penny to move your artwork from one room to another. Try grouping photos together and create and interesting collage, or take a piece of art from your dining room, and hang it in your living room and use that as a jumping off point for a dramatic color change for your home.

Au meme
→ Hermione and The Doctor. Harry Potter and Doctor Who
Variation of something suggested by Rikkisixx
Everywhere she went the blue box followed.
va IGN:
IGN Doctor Who fans have named Emma Watson as their 'perfect' Time Lord companion in an online poll.
Karen Gillan, whose character Amy Pond is leaving during the next series of the sci-fi drama, has played the Eleventh Doctor's assistant since Steven Moffat's 2010 relaunch.
An IGN survey, to which 5,000 users contributed, found that over a quarter of voters want Harry Potter actress Watson to replace Gillan as Matt Smith's sidekick.
New Girl's Zooey Deschanel was the second choice, while Anna Friel came third, Pixie Lott finished fourth and Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke made fifth place.
Attack the Block's John Boyega was the highest-ranked male in the poll.
Of course, Tumblr has already imagined what this could look like…

They've got this all wrong! RORY is The Pretty One!! And Ron and Amy are the Sexy Gingers!!

Dear Dan Poucher,
If I understand your question rightly, you want to know who currently recycles CRTs?
This is probably the smallest universe of any firms involved in electronics recycling because of the lead involved.
I know of two operations that do it:
Matco at 607-729-8973. Contact is Ron Barber. However, this is part of a program set up for Corning and Digital to recycle their CRT materials. It may not be open to anyone else.

The board and members of Cycling Australia are shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Queensland cyclist Carly Hibberd.
"Everyone in the cycling community is feeling the loss and our thoughts and sympathy are with her family and her fiance," said Cycling Australia CEO Graham Fredericks. "Carly was following her cycling dream in Italy, doing what she loved to do and enjoying life. Sadly that dream has ended."
The 26 year old from Sherwood in Queensland was on a training ride north of Milan on Wednesday morning Italian time when she was struck by a car. Emergency services flew to the scene by helicopter but were unable to save her and she died at the scene.
Carly was a former runner who came into cycling through a talent identification scheme. She was a scholarship holder at the Queensland Academy of Sport for two years and raced domestically with the MBCycles team from 2006 to 2008.
Carly won the women's Cycling Australia National Road Series in 2008 after earning points in all six rounds. She moved to Italy in 2009 to pursue a cycling career racing with the Michela Fanini-Record-Rox team up until this season when she joined Cassina Rizzardi A Style Fionucci.
Former team mate Liz Young rode with Carly for two years in the MBCycles team.
"Carly was a bright, friendly, energetic young person," said Ms Young. "She had a great passion for her sport and for life in general.
"When she was around 19 she decided she wanted to become a professional cyclist and she pursued that dream with a great deal of passion," she said. "She dedicated her life to her sport and to her friends and family and was a very positive person to be around."
"Our thoughts are also with the members of the Ipswich Cycling Club where Carly was a member," said Mr Fredericks.

Cycling Australia has been asked to release the following statement on behalf of the families of Carly Hibberd and her fiancé Cameron Rogers.
26 year old Carly was on a training ride north of Milan on Wednesday morning Italian time when she was struck by a car. She died at the scene.
Message from the families of Carly Hibberd and her fiancé Cameron Rogers
We appreciate everyone's kind thoughts on the very sad news we received overnight, regarding Carly's sudden passing in Italy.
Carly has been racing in Italy for the past three years and loving every minute of it. She was living her dream. It was her passion, along with her love for Cameron, to whom she was to be married in October this year.
They spoke to each other constantly, not a day went by without numerous calls.
Her love of cycling was fostered from a very early age by her parents, her father Mark and brother Luke, riding along with her and her mother Ros, was a constant support and gave her great encouragement.
Carly's many friends throughout the world have been coming forward with messages of love for Carly, Cameron and their families.
We very much appreciate these messages but do ask that everyone respects our privacy at this time to allows us time to come to terms with what has happened.
Special thanks go to the cycling community for their support and many, many messages.

Gorgeous summer make-up tips
Image © Bourjois
1. Treat your skin with a beauty elixir
If you want the just-done-a-load-of-exercise glow effortlessly, make-up artist and now brand owner Sue Devitt suggests using a beauty elixir. The sunshine may inject a feel-good factor into our day but it can also dehydrate your skin and flying to a destination abroad can also make your skin feel extremely dry and taut.
Sue Devitt says: "I'm often travelling and don't always find time for my full skin care regime. However, my elixir (Sue Devitt Microquatic Marine Crystal Collagen Elixir from the Sue Devitt Microquatic range) is always in my bag, not only does it keep my skin moisturized all day long it also rebuilds the collagen structure of the skin."
Alternatives worth considering include Caudalíe Beauty Elixir, which one user on ciao.co.uk described as "A travel essential from France," and Neal's Yard Wild Rose Elixir - a luxurious treatment packed full of antioxidants to help repair, firm and smooth your skin.
More beauty elixirs on Ciao
2. Apply a primer
After the journey into work on a stifling hot tube or car journey, a rush to get to your nine o'clock meeting and a few cups of coffee later, you're less fresh-as-a-daisy and more bedraggled after the make-up you have spent time putting on in the morning has melted. Sound familiar?
Well, prevent this schoolgirl error by using a primer before applying your foundation, tinted moisturiser or BB cream. A primer will, according to Devitt, "create a smooth canvas for make-up application and help bind make-up to the skin for longer wear." Pricey but well worth the investment, Laura Mercier Foundation Primer contains vitamins A, C and E plus a cooling agent so it nourishes, protects and will calm your skin on a hot day before your apply your base colour. Mac Prep + Prime is another good all-rounder as it really does leave your skin looking flawless. One user on ciao.co.uk says it is: "Really effective and a great base before you apply your foundation".
As part of their Miracle Matt range, Boots have also recently launched a primer for oily skin called 17 Miracle Matte Skin Primer, which the No17 make-up artist Vanesa Guallar says: "is the solution to a stay perfect look and shine-free control for up to 22 hours."
More primers on Ciao
3. Glow this summer
Why not go for gold this summer? Achieve a dewy look with this top tip from Sue Devitt: "To get ready for summer and to look like I've just gotten back from the beach I like to add a little oil-free, water-based liquid bronzer like Microquatic Tinted Body Moisturizer to my foundation or moisturizer. This gives the skin a natural glow, and is also a great base for a natural look."
We also love Transformulas Ageless Hydration Gold cream. Jam-packed full of anti-ageing ingredients - including 23 carat gold particles and hyralauronic acid, which locks in moisture - this gorgeous product leaves your skin looking luminous and blends perfectly with whatever base you choose to use.
Talking of foundations and bases, it's worth swapping your usual cover-up for a BB cream. If you're after a dewy finish with decent coverage, check out Garnier BB Cream. One user on ciao.co.uk says: "It gives the skin a gorgeous illuminating glow which hydrates and provides SPF".
Finally, Jane Iredale's Dry Sunscreen is formulated with titanium dioxide and pure clay, which is naturally rich in minerals and provides protection from UV rays. Not only is this a fantastic addition to your suncare regime, you'll also be left with a golden glow.
More Jane Iredale products on Ciao
4. Eyes
Be bold this summer with your peepers and opt for strong colours on your lids or a smoky eye and flick. Whatever you choose, give your eyes a whole new dimension.
Inspired by Latin America, one of the strongest looks from Bourjois has been created by teaming a vivid blue called 'Bleu carnard' round pot with a spicy orange called 'Orange epice'. Simply apply the orange all over your eyelid, wet the applicator and use the Bleu carnard as a liner, and hey presto, you've got a colourful new look.
Alternatively try Clinique's Lid Smoothies - these creamy eyeshadows are crease-resistant and packed full of antioxidants to shield the eye area. Available in a range of shades, the cooling applicator also helps when applying the formula, which lasts up to eight hours.
As well as working a flick into your make-up routine using - a liquid eyeliner, such as Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen - make sure you wear lashings of waterproof mascara, such as Christian Dior Diorshow Waterproof Mascara (see our piece on waterproof make-up for more tips). The no-mascara look may have been prevalent on the catwalk but it's a tricky one to pull off in reality.
Glasto may not be on this year but there are still plenty of festivals up and down the country - for example, the Secret Garden Party and the Vintage Festival. A colourful chubby eye colour pencil such as No7 Summer of Dreams eye pencils or Rimmel Soft Kohl pencils could come in handy as you can use them either on the eyes or to draw flowers on your face.
More eye make-up on Ciao
If you're after a fresh and sheer look this summer, try a lip-boosting treat such as Bourjois Effet 3D lipgloss. Available in a range of shades, you can pump up the volume by applying a little more product at the centre of the lips. You don't really need to go too full as this summer it's all about a more natural sheer colour. Think corals and pretty pinks to get the look. Lanolips has a fantastic range of vitamin E-enriched lip ointments, including this fruity deep pink shade called Rhubarb. They are perfect for the summer as they contain SPF15 for added protection from the sun.
6. Cheeks
Spring/summer 2012 was all about bringing out your features via contours so choose either a bronzer or darker shade of foundation to help emphasise your cheekbones. Sue Devitt says: "To perfect the sun-kissed glow, apply bronzing powder to the face, paying special attention to the apples of the cheeks, chin and forehead". Try Soap & Glory Solar-powder bronzer, which is a mix of highlighter and blusher for a subtle glow.
No7's make-up artist Lisa Eldridge says: "To create the perfect summer flush, swirl a large brush into the bronzer and blend on the back of your hand before applying to cheeks, temples, the bridge of your nose and decolletage. Everywhere the sun hits!"
If you're more of an English rose, then you're in luck as a healthy flush is another trend seen on the catwalk. A quick and easy way to get the look is to try Rimmel's Mono blush in coral rose - a purse-friendly blush that gives a good natural colour.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is paying tribute to a young University of Kentucky men's basketball team for winning the NCAA championship last month. It wasn't the team he had picked to win.
At a White House ceremony Friday, Obama told the team he thought they were good enough to make the NCAA finals. But he noted that a year ago several starters were still in high school.
Still, he conceded, sometimes talent overcomes experience. Kentucky defeated Kansas to win the championship.
Obama saved a man hug for team center Anthony Davis, who is from Obama's hometown of Chicago and won the Most Outstanding Player award at the Final Four.
An avid basketball fan, Obama picked North Carolina to beat Kentucky in the title game. North Carolina was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Men's basketball once again a 10 in Mid-Major Top 25
CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 (Feb. 8)
GREELEY, Colo. -- Northern Colorado's overtime victory against Northern Arizona on Sunday afternoon helped the Bears make up the ground it lost in last week's CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25.
The Bears, who outscored the Lumberjacks 14-7 in the extra period yesterday to earn a 70-63 victory in their only game of the week, received 441 points and the No. 10 spot in this week's coaches poll to once again reach their highest ever ranking in an NCAA Division I poll and run their school-record streak of being ranked in such polls to 12 weeks.
Northern Colorado was also ranked No. 10 two weeks ago but it fell a spot last week, to No. 11, after losing its first home game of the season.
Now, the Bears sit at 19-5 and 8-3 in the Big Sky Conference, just a game behind league-leader Weber State (15-8, 9-2). The Bears and the Wildcats will face off Saturday night in Ogden, Utah, an a highly anticipated matchup.
Butler (No. 1), Northern Iowa, Gonzaga, Cornell and Siena make up the top five teams in this week's poll. The Bears are also behind St. Mary's (No. 6), Murray State, Northeastern and Wichita State.
Weber State, the only other Big Sky team ranked in this week's poll, fell from No. 23 to No. 25, and Montana, which has won seven of eight, received 11 points to move up within the "Others receiving votes" category.
The poll of mid-major coaches is now in its eleventh season and is made up of teams from the following conferences: America East, Atlantic Sun, Big Sky, Big South, Big West, Colonial, Great West, Horizon, Independents, Ivy, Metro Atlantic, Mid-American, Mid-Eastern, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern, Southland, Southwestern, Summit, Sun Belt and West Coast.
