Recipe: Creamy Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Cumin
I was so inspired by all the responses to our very first Cupboard Challenge. A dip had never crossed my mind, nor a casserole. It's amazing what you can do with four ingredients!
In the end, I had about 15 minutes in the middle of a busy evening to find my own solution to the challenge. I was tempted to throw in some meat, but I decided to limit myself closely to these ingredients, with the addition of a few spices and some fresh thyme from a friend's garden.
I used whole cumin here as an added texture, toasting the seeds in oil and leaving them crunchy in the soup. Frying the tomato paste with the oil and garlic takes the edge off its often metallic taste - a tip I picked up from one of Laurie Colwin's books.
I was rather surprised, in the end: this little experiment gave me a rich, creamy soup full of soft, tiny beans, with the toasty crunch of cumin and bright taste of thyme - and in less than 10 minutes!
Also, this is of course vegetarian, and could easily be vegan, if the sour cream is excluded or a non-dairy substitution is made.
Creamy Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Cumin and Thyme
Olive oil
1 teaspoon whole cumin
Red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cloves garlic, minced or mashed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 cup water
1/4 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
Prepare all the ingredients and have them ready by the stove; this soup comes together fast. Coat the bottom of a small saucepan with olive oil and heat over medium until it is quite hot. Add the cumin and the red pepper, if using, and stir for about 30 seconds or until the cumin smells fragrant. Add the garlic and cook until golden, turning down the heat if it begins to brown. Add the tomato paste and fry everything together until well-mixed. Add the thyme and cook just until wilted, then add the black-eyed peas and fry all together for about 2 minutes.
Add the water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about five minutes. Stir in the sour cream and let it warm over low heat. Don't let the soup boil again. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then serve immediately.

It's amazing one can do so much with so little-- I am especially intrigued by the tbsp of Tomato paste....! Thanks for sharing. Btw, this really inspires me to be more creative and become more confident in creating my own recipes. Personally, it's easier with veggies but harder for stuff like meat, soups, and baking desserts.
Love the concept of the cupboard challenge! I'm going to make a version of this soup tonight, except with the canellini beans that have been sitting in my cupboard.
for these sorts of "what can I possibly make with this?" occasions, the search-by-ingredient feature on allrecipes.com is perfect. (epicurious.com has something similar, but it doesn't seem to bring up as many helpful recipes.)
One night, craving something chocolatey, I typed in my chocolate, eggs, and sugar, and learned to make my very first souffle.
nadarine-- I also love the ingredient search feature on allrecipes.com! We're moving in March so I'm trying to use up everything in my pantry and freezer. I've come up with some good recipes using allrecipes.com's search.
If I use fresh black eyed peas, I assume I should cook them first? Also, could I sub ground cumin for the whole cumin?

A growing Maryland state program is soliciting talented disabled workers with telework incentives and is ramping up a state campaign to encourage teleworking in general, reports TheBaynet.com, a community news website that covers Calvert, St. Mary's and Charles Counties.
The WorkABILITY Loan Program helps Maryland residents with disabilities qualify for low-interest loans to buy equipment to support teleworking, according to Maryland's Work Matters portal.
Work Matters is also offering a training series tool kit for employers to help them understand why it makes "business sense to hire and retain" those with disabilities, the article said.

Build peace: be on time
My Mom and Dad had written a few words on a paper and hung it on the wall in our kitchen. We grew up watching our parents invite all kinds of people into our home for dinners. Strangers. This included any person who was lost in the airport or someone they found lost on the street....A warm meal, pajamas, a clean bed in the guest room, a bathroom, and the next day after breakfast, often supplied with a gift (usually a sweater or socks), and a map they provided a ride to the train or bus station. Most of those people spoke a foreign tongue that none of us understood. But at the end of Mom and Dad's "hospitality adventure" my parents had added a line to their list on the wall and that person had walked away with theirs. To this day my family receives letters and visits from those travelers and their children and even grand children. Every time we gather together there is "letter" readings and....tears of joy.
The paper on the wall read:
Italian: Ti Amo
German: Ich Liebe Dich
Japanese: Ai Shite Imasu
Chinese: Wo Ai Ni
Swedish: Jag Alskar Dig
Greek: S'Agapo
Hawaiian: Aloha Wau La Oe
Irish: Thaim In Grabh Leat
Hebrew: Ani Ohev Otakh
Persian: Du Stet Daaram
Russian: Ya Lyublyu Tyebya
Albanian: Une Te Dua
Finnish: Mina Rakkastan Sinua
Turkish: Seni Seviyorum
Hungarian: Se Ret Lay
Maltese: Jien Inhobbok
Catalan: Testimo Molt
French: Je t'aime
Spanish: Te Amo
Eskimo: Nagligivaget
English: I love you
Now I wish my parents had learned to say " We love you" instead.
Will you help me rewrite this list and include your language too ??
~~ With Happy New Year Wishes~~

Jan 21 2013: Dear Juliette,
Every belief, every aim, and every hope I've followed in my life have ended to a lie and disappeared,
But the only one I have never regret of, was love.
You, just like Ronny, brought this amazing message to TED, so it's me who should be thankful of what you've done here, and ronny's talk.
I've followed your post until today, and have enjoyed with every sign of love from you and other TEDsters here.
Thanks for everything,
Love be with you, one more time, and forever,
Jan 21 2013: Dear Amirpouya,
Thank you. Sounds to me like you have lived the human life....and you managed to keep your eyes on the only thing that matters; Love. Love is the only truth, all else is illusion. And I can see that you know this in your heart.
I appreciate you and the great positive energy that you so generously brought into this and other TED conversations. Actually I will change that to relentless positive energy for you. It means a lot. As Ronny says, " people fear and hate, build walls, to keep others out, but they have never met and know nothing about these people." That era is now ended. The new era has begun.
I am glad to know that someone is following this thread. I added a few words from some of the most remarkable people and listed TED Talks that can hopefully be helpful in keeping the pathway 'lit."

It's official. Everrrrrryone in the world is covering Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." No, seriously. From Barack Obama to Cookie Monster, the craze is getting a little bit ridiculous. Just sayin'. Now, in honor of the Olympics, it's the 2012 USA Olympic Swimming Team's turn to take on the task of creating another viral "CMM" vid. We have to admit — it is pretty cool to see a bunch of (hot) swimmers singing the song on airplanes, at practice and even underwater! Are these covers way too overdone though? Check out the vid to decide for yourself.
3 Responses to "Watch the 2012 USA Olympic Swim Team Cover 'Call Me Maybe!'"
Ahhh that's so cool! It all looks so much fun lol.|
i think it's cute. since they don't get to do much with all their training, it's nice to see them loosen up, have fun and remind us that they're athletes with the same goofy personalities as our best friends.|
I love the video.|

A chase in southeast Portland left a trail of destruction in front of homes and businesses Thursday morning.
Around 1:45 a.m., police tried to stop 37-year-old Ronald Nelson after observing what they described as "possible drug activity" while his SUV was parked at Southeast 122nd Avenue and Market Street.
Police said Nelson, who was behind the wheel of a Dodge Durango, didn't stop for police and tried to elude them by driving around the block twice. He struck two parked cars and a mailbox, but then, on the second lap, he crashed into the back of a small office complex at 2809 S.E. 122nd Ave.
A large portion of the brick wall and the interior of the building were damaged by the crash.
After the wreck, police said Nelson jumped out of the SUV and tried to run off on foot. He was quickly apprehended by officers.
Nelson suffered minor injuries in the crash and was taken to a Portland hospital to be treated.
In addition to finding a small amount of drugs inside the SUV, police said, officers found body armor as well.
Nelson was booked into jail on the following charges: felon in possession of body armor, attempt to elude by vehicle, possession of heroin, possession of methamphetamine, attempt to elude on foot, failure to perform the duties of a driver (four counts), reckless driving and theft in the second degree by receiving.
He'll be arraigned Friday.

Two men suspected in shooting an Iowa State Trooper and the Sumner police chief, after robbing the Maynard Savings Bank, are being held in Bremer County on $1 million cash only bond after appearing in court Wednesday morning.
The two men, 19-year-old William Clayton of Osage and 24-year-old Jeremiah Mumford of New Hampton, were taken into custody Tuesday night following a nearly eight hour manhunt that put several schools in lock down and injured two law enforcement officers.
Mumford faces six counts of attempted murder and five counts of terrorism. Clayton faces six counts of aiding and abetting and five counts of terrorism.
The Iowa Department of Public Safety says a robbery at the Maynard Savings Bank was reported at 11:13 a.m. Tuesday. Information about the suspects and their vehicle was sent to out to local authorities, and a firefighter spotted the car a short time later.
Once law enforcement became involved, the suspects led them on a chase that went from Fayette County into Bremer County. The Department of Public Safety says the suspects were firing shots at pursuing officers during the chase.
Two officers, Trooper Mark Domino and Sumner Police Chief Dennis Cain, were hit by the gunfire.
Family members tell KWWL that Cain was taken to Allen Memorial Hospital in Waterloo with severe wounds to his neck, thumb and shoulder. His wife tells KWWL that he is stable, but is still in critical condition. She says he will be transferred from Allen Hospital to another location.
Domino was hit in his bicep, but he continued to chase the suspects. He was treated and released.
The Department of Public Safety says the suspects abandoned their vehicle at about 12:20 p.m. near the Heartland Quarry, which is along Midway Avenue, west of Frederika.
From there, the two suspects ran into a wooded area. Law enforcement set-up a two-mile long perimeter to make sure the suspects couldn't leave the area.
After more than six hours of searching on the ground and through the air, Mumford and Clayton were arrested by two Waterloo officers when they tried to leave the area at about 6:58 p.m. Authorities say they were arrested without incident.
The New Hampton Community School District, Nashua-Plainfield Schools and Sumner-Fredericksburg Middle School and Sumner Elementary School were put on lock down because of the manhunt and the Tripoli Community School District took extra precautions.
Highway 63 northbound was closed between 188 in Bremer County and 346 in Chickasaw County.
Members of more than 20 law enforcement agencies responded and aided in the capture of Mumford and Clayton.
The bank robbery, shootings and chase remain under investigation.

The remote, grandiose mountain-top sanctuary at Nemrut Dağı is unforgettable, while the mighty stone heads that adorn the temple and tomb of King Antiochus have become one of the famous images of Eastern Turkey.
Most visitors want to get here before dawn, in order to watch the sunrise. The majority of the available minibus tours are therefore geared up to suit those timings, despite the drawback of making such an early start – between 2am and 4am, depending on season – and the crowded and chilly conditions at the summit, which is 2150m above sea level. Between late October and April, there's often snow on the ground. Minibus tours also target sunset, when it's not so cold, and the setting sun bathes the western terrace in a warm glow. A daytime visit means fewer visitors and the chance to explore the sanctuary at leisure and in the warmth.
Brief history
The result of one man's delusions of grandeur, the great tomb and temple complex of Nemrut Dağı was built by Antiochus I Epiphanes (64–38 BC), son of Mithridates I Callinicus, the founder of the Commagene kingdom. A breakaway from the Seleucid Empire, covering only a small territory from modern Adıyaman to Gaziantep, the Commagene dynasty wouldn't rate much more than a passing mention in histories of the region had Antiochus not chosen to build this colossal monument to himself. Having decided he was divine in nature, or at the very least an equal of the gods, he declared: "I, the great King Antiochus have ordered the construction of these temples…on a foundation which will never be demolished…to prove my faith in the gods. At the conclusion of my life I will enter my eternal repose here, and my spirit will ascend to join that of Zeus in heaven."
Antiochus's vanity knew no bounds – he claimed descent from Darius the Great of Persia and Alexander the Great – but eventually he went too far, siding with the Parthians against Rome, and was deposed. This was effectively the end of the Commagene kingdom, which afterwards passed into Roman hands.
The sanctuary lay undiscovered until 1881, when Karl Puchstein, a German engineer, located it while making a survey. Although he returned in 1883 with Karl Humann – the man who removed the Pergamon altar to Berlin – to carry out a more thorough investigation, only in 1953 did a comprehensive American-led archeological survey of the site begin.Read More
Excursions to Nemrut Dagi
Excursions to Nemrut Dagi
Organized minibus trips to Nemrut Dağı run in summer from Kahta, Malatya and Şanlıurfa. Given the distances involved, they are about the only way to get there if you don't have your own transport. Note that the summit road is usually only open from April 15 until the first snowfall of winter, but outside the peak summer months (July & Aug) there may well be insufficient demand to make up groups each day. For more on the best time of day to visit the site, see Nemrut Dağı.
From Kahta and Karadut
In season, there are sunrise or sunset tours from Kahta – sunset trips leave around 2pm and return at 10pm; sunrise tours leave at around 2am, returning at 10am. Best arranged by the transport cooperative – see Bayram Çınar at the Karadut market, opposite the dolmuş garage – the trips cost TL125 for the dolmuş, irrespective of numbers, with the entrance fee extra. They should include the subsidiary sites of the Karakuş tumulus, Cendere bridge and the ancient Commagene capital of Arsameia.
Don't be bludgeoned into booking a tour before you check various options – indeed, assuming you arrive in time to catch the last dolmuş (6pm), it's far better to head straight up to the lovely village of Karadut. All the accommodation options here arrange summit tours – a taxi to the summit costs around TL35, a minibus around TL50 (regardless of numbers, entrance extra); tours including the subsidiary sites TL100. Sunrise tours see the subsidiary sites on the return, sunrise tours en route.
From Malatya
Tours from Malatya, on the north side of the range, may look more expensive, but if you count in the night's stay virtually at the summit, the difference is negligible. The main disadvantage is that you miss out on Nemrut's subsidiary sites, but on the other hand you view both sets of heads at sunrise and sunset, and you get to stay at the welcoming stone-built Guneş Hotel (t 0422 323 9378), which has clean and cheerful en-suite rooms and good food. A Kurdish yayla (summer tent encampment) lies a few minutes' walk away.
Bookings are best made the day before, either at the tourist office or the tea garden to one side. Departures are usually at noon, reaching the summit in good time for sunset; the return trip starts at about 7am, allowing time to admire the sunrise, and reaching Malatya at about 11am. The TL100 fee per person includes transport, lodging and two meals, and trips run even if there's only one taker; the entrance fee is extra. If it suits your onward travel plans, after viewing the sanctuary at sunrise you could walk over to the south side of Nemrut and join one of the groups seeing the subsidiary sites on the way back to Kahta.
From Şanlıurfa
Visiting Nemrut from Şanlıurfa has the advantage of cutting out Adıyaman and Kahta, and can include a trip to see the Atatürk Dam, but the 420km (14hr) round trip takes in lots of uninteresting scenery.

I believe in something I call "unrequited like." It's a less profound version of unrequited love. I think this happens to all genders and it can certainly be disappointing.
I've been on the planet a bit longer than a lot of my followers and maybe I can pass along a few things I've learned.
First, if someone has no interest in you. Move on. It will be hard. It might even suck for a while. But trying to win the affection of someone who doesn't feel that way about you is a big waste of time. You are just going to cause yourself more pain.
Second, being someone's friend is not a consolation prize. Friendship is one of the most precious things on earth and should not be discounted into this absurd notion of the "friendzone."
If you believe in the friendzone you aren't the "nice guy" you think you are. Women are not objects to be won, and if they reject you, you should respect that. You cannot blame someone for not having feelings for you. It's like telling someone who doesn't like brussels sprouts to just start liking them. You cannot magically change their taste buds by saying the right words.
And lastly, if they offer you friendship, do not accept it if you are just going to be resentful. Either truly be their friend and perform your friend duties with all your heart, or move along.
In my opinion, if you think you got friendzone'd, you are no friend.

Apple jumps on profit beat, plans for new products
Thanks to strong iPhone sales, earnings top estimates but are down nearly 20% from a year ago. The company promises new products in the fall and 2014.
Apple (AAPL) shares were higher late Tuesday after fiscal-third quarter results were somewhat better than expected, thanks to a big jump in iPhone sales.
The company reported earnings of $7.47 a share, better than the Street estimate of $7.32 a cents a share. Earnings, however, were down nearly 20% from a year ago.
Revenue was $35.3 billion, a touch better than the estimate of $35.01 billion and up 0.8% from a year ago.
The stock seemed to react positively to the iPhone results and to CEO Tim Cook's promises during the company's analyst call that Apple expects to introduce "some amazing new products" in the fall and in 2014.
There's been talk that Apple would introduce iPhones with larger screens and might be working on an Apple watch. And there's continuing talk about a television product.
At 6:35 p.m. ET, Apple shares were up $14.56 to $433.55 after hours, after rising to as high as $442 soon after Apple released its results. The shares had fallen $7.32 to $418.99 in regular trading.
If that price holds on Wednesday, Apple will be up about 12.6% from its bottom in April. But it's still down more than 38% from its all-time high of $705.07, reached on Sept. 12, 2013.
The report came after the stock market ended the day basically flat. The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) finished at a record 15,567.74, up $22.19. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) slipped 3 points to 1,692, while the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) dropped 21 points to 3,579.
Futures trading suggests U.S. stocks will open higher on Wednesday.
Apple said it sold 31.2 million iPhones during the quarter, up 20% from a year ago. Sales were up 15% to $18.15 billion -- 51% of total revenue. A substantial number of iPhones were the iPhone 4 model. On the conference call, Cook said the the number of first-time smartphone buyers that iPhone 4 is attracting "is very very impressive."
Most analysts had expected a decline in iPhone sales. At the same time, iPad sales were down 14.1% to 14.6 million units from 17 million a year ago. Mac computer sales were down 5% to 3.8 million units.
While revenue was up slightly from a year ago, the growth was basically from the Americas, up 12% to $14.4 billion, and Japan, up 27% to $2.54 billion. But European sales were down 8% to $7.61 billion. Sales dropped 14% to $4.64 billion in greater China, which includes Hong Kong. Cook said most of the decline was Hong Kong.
The company projected fourth-quarter revenue of $34 billion to $37 billion, compared with a year ago's 35.97 billion. Its gross profit margin, a key profit measure was 36.9%, down from 42.8% a year ago.
Apple declared a $3.05-a-share cash dividend. It's payable Aug. 15 to shareholders of record on Aug. 12.
The company ended the quarter with $146.6 billion in cash, short-term securities and long-term securities -- about 73% of total assets. The cash hoard has grown 21% in the last year.
Wednesday will be another big day for earnings. Ford Motor (F), Boeing BA, Caterpillar (CAT) report before the stock market open. Facebook (FB), Qualcomm (QCOM), Crocs (CROX) and Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) report at the close.

"146 billion dollars in cash is an unbelievable amount of money for a company to have and apple will be back at 600 by years end"
Unless they are giving it to their customers as a bribe to buy another handheld device the diminishes their attention span and work ethic... Apple stands zero chance of having legs again. It contributed to our current situation, took too much and now rots away without substance. 99% of business platforms are in the same boat with the weight of their ill-gotten gains pushing through the bottom.

A deal to sell the Crafar dairy farms to Chinese company Shanghai Pengxin will also see the genes of quality Kiwi sheep exported to China.
The sale, which has Overseas Investment Office approval, faces a final legal hurdle on Monday when rival bidders, led by New Zealand businessman Sir Michael Fay, appeal the deal for a second time in the High Court at Wellington.
State-owned Landcorp has signed a deal with Shanghai Pengxin to run the farms, and chief executive Chris Kelly told Fairfax the sale would allow the company to enter the Chinese market.
"We're going to look at exporting genetic material. Shanghai Pengxin has about 100,000 sheep in China, and is looking to advance flock progress," he said.
"It recognises that New Zealand has some superior genetics, and is keen to talk to us about spreading those genes through its flock."
Mr Kelly said improving China's sheep genetics would assist that country access a secure supply of quality meat, which New Zealand offers.
He said Landcorp will "make damn sure" the revenue flows back to New Zealand.
Green Party co-leader Russel Norman said it was a risky move to give away years of selective breeding.
"Once we do that, there's no way to stop anyone in China continuing on with those genetic lines."

Safe Food for Canadians Action Plan
The Safe Food for Canadians Action Plan information can be viewed at the following link:
Industry stakeholders are encouraged to review the action plan and provide input to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
CFIA has posted what are probably the final documents for the Food Safety Regulatory Forum.
These are:
It is expected that all the documents will be publicly available on June 4th at: http://inspection.gc.ca/food/action-plan/food-safety-regulatory-forum/eng/1369676743621/1369676873558
Regulatory Framework: This discussion paper is perhaps the most important of the documents circulated. It sets out the government's initial proposals for the new regulations under the Safe Food for Canadians Act and builds on the work started in the inspection modernization initiative. There are two key appendices which outline "outcome-based" requirements for regulated food businesses and for primary production of fresh produce. The discussion paper has 33 questions inserted to prompt comments and there will likely be many more that arise.
Compliance Promotion: This discussion paper sets out CFIA's current thinking on assisting food businesses to comply with the new regulations. As noted in the description of the associated presentation (update #12), the approach focuses on sets out four (4) pillars for a compliance promotion strategy:
education (e.g. on-line information and search functions, guidance documents, webinars, etc),
technical assistance (e.g. model systems, plain language documentation, templates, checklists, etc)
transparent communication (eg. sharing industry best practices and compliance and enforcement data)
compliance incentives (eg. linking compliance to oversight and to support programs) and disincentives (eg. suspensions & monetary penalties)
This paper does not indicate that there are any commitments from the federal government in terms of financial assistance to micro,small and medium-sized enterprises for the implementation of the new regulations. The discussion paper does not include questions, but the Forum presentation on this subject does.
The report "Municipal Food Policy Entrepreneurs: A preliminary analysis of how Canadian cities and regional districts are involved in food systems change," is the first scan of municipal and regional food policy development in Canada. It reveals that a growing number of communities right across the country have launched food charters, food strategies and action plans, and created food policy councils.

In Defense of Justin Bieber
January 24, 2014
I'm a firm believer that people are responsible for their own actions, no matter their upbringing. People make choices in life, some good, some bad. Some people choose to take the path of least resistance. Others take the path of good work ethic and set their goals high. There will always be a need for garbage collectors and burger flippers in society. Sure there are always examples of kids being brought up in bad environments, turning to drugs, alcohol and crime or joining gangs for the sake of some sort of family comfort. There are also examples of kids who make the right choices, no matter what their surroundings and become strong mentors and role models. Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell comes to mind.
Justin Bieber is no exception. This kid is by no means a role model or a mature adult. He is a by-product of his surroundings and care givers. I pick on people like Bieber because he is in the public eye and has countless children and young teens tripping over themselves to be just like him. Bieber has some serious problems with alcohol, drugs and self control. You can make up all the excuses for why this kid continues to make bad choices, but at what point do you start putting the blame on him not taking responsibility for his own actions? When does Lindsay Lohan get in front of a judge and gets hard jail time for giving our judicial system the finger every time she gets thrown into a drunk tank or drug rehab clinic?
Why is it people like Paul Walker that end up on a cold slab?
In a day when young folks are looking for publicity, whether through social media or by shooting up a school, someone needs to put their sights on these problem celebrity kids well before they kill themselves or someone else.
So what if Justin Bieber had not been stopped by the police the other night while behind the wheel of a car that is capable of hitting speeds in excess of 180 mph in a matter of seconds? How many innocent people could he have snuffed out in the blink of an eye?
Everyone laughs and jokes about how stupid these celebrity kids are but no one really gives a damn or even entertains the idea of how dangerous they are becoming. You'll still take your kids to their performances and talk about what a bad boy he was and how he or she will just grow out of it. Then you'll wake up one morning hearing the news of how one of them died in a car crash or by suicide and you'll cry and lay Teddy Bears and flowers on the site where their lifeless body was found. Then another reckless child celebrity will come along and take their place.
Lets face reality people. No one really gives a damn about these spoiled little rich kids. Their only purpose in life is to keep our children entertained while we all look the other way. Right? Well not so fast…
Today I received a comment from one of my readers. Teresa took issue with my poking fun at Justin Bieber and made some excellent points that I want to share with you. You see, Teresa gets it. -JRoycroft
"Hi Mr. Roycroft This is not the first time I have written to you – I have historically been a big fan of your blog but as a mom – I just have to tell you – we are not on the same page on this one. Hear me out for a second.
I am going to call on the old adage that its easy to pass judgment on someone – it seems it is going to apply here – and in case you are wondering – no I am not some Bieber groupie that is disgruntled – just a mom with a psychology and spirituality background whose heart breaks when I see stories like the Bieber story and more so when I see responses like yours to those stories by people such as yourself.
Were you aware that Justin grew up quite poor? Were you aware that his father was absent for most of his life – that is until he became a global phenomenon . . . Were you aware that his mother struggled to keep food on the table? Were you aware that Justin's stardom began when he was a mere child ? As a dad and the extremely smart, intuitive, practical and from my perspective grounded and common sensed kind of guy – could you possibly see Justin as a product of the environment that pimped a child and made money off of him. As a little boy Justin was probably thrilled at the idea of not being poor anymore. . . where was the guidance that a "child" needs in a situation such as he found himself in?
Yes his actions were quite irresponsible but are you aware of the countless amount of money Justin has given away for charitable causes ? Can you see Justin as a product of his environment – a kid starved for love and validation who's self worth is wrapped up not in his inherent worth as a human being but in how much money he can make for the people who stole – yes robbed him mercilessly of his childhood and adolescence?
Yes boys are supposed to grow up to become men – but they need to have men to model what that means . . . they need to have inherent self worth . . . they need guidance and structure . . . they need to be forgiven and loved when they screw up so they learn to forgive and love so when the boys they are mentoring into men screw up they can teach them the same lesson.
I could go on – but I know how damn smart you are and I know you know where I am coming from. Consequences – yes – most definitely ! Crucifixion – not so much . . .
Hope your lovely family is well – looking forward to your next posting . . ."
God bless! Teresa
Age is no Excuse
June 9, 2013
Next time someone tries to use the excuse that age is slowing them down, tell them about my brother, Stan, who is 53 years young and just finished running the Goliath Mud Challenge 5K down in Tyrone, Georgia.
This wasn't just a 5K run, this race included obstacles. Oh, and by the way, he stopped smoking many years ago and couldn't have done this with a cigarette in his mouth.
From Stan's Facebook page he proudly announces:
"Open Men" I finished 52nd Overall and in my age group "50 to 54 I finished 2nd Overall. My start time was at 52:33 and my finish time was at 1:46:38 which is 54 minutes and 5 seconds I will never forget! — at 2013 Goliath Mud Challenge 5K, Tyrone, Georgia, June 1.
Words cannot describe how damn proud I am of my brother for all the hard work and dedication he put into this great achievement. Stan is further proof that you can accomplish anything you want in life if you put in hard work and dedication.
Congratulations Bro! I love you man! -JRoycroft
Kids and Head Injuries: Let's Ban Football
January 11, 2013 – The topic of concussions was brought up by a Facebook friend today surrounding the idea of football related injuries, in particular, concussions.
The topic has been in the news for several months now, but hasn't gotten as much coverage as I thought it would have. Maybe the election, and then the Sandy Hook massacre took priority. At any rate, you can bet it's gonna be a topic of serious discussion sooner than later. In fact, I'm betting that Pee Wee football, and government school football including at the high school level, is at risk of being banned, or tightly controlled with major rule changes put in effect. Why? For the protection of our little children. That's what mommy government is there for now…to protect us from ourselves. Parents are not capable of making the right choices for their kids anymore. Well at least that's what Michelle Obama thinks when it comes to feeding our kids.
Football, even at the NFL level may become a thing of the past. I mean after all, we are Americans and everyone knows, or at least thinks we are a bunch of wimps. Hell, look at our president, need I say more?
We all know that football is a dangerous sport by design. Players get hurt, they injure their heads, get bruised, strain muscles, break bones and then they go out shoot people. As you know, people get hurt, they injure their heads, and then they go out and shoot people or commit suicide. The NFL has a problem with this. The media is having a field day trying to tie concussions to guns, murder, and suicide, especially in light of the recent gun control storm brewing.
Even Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the National Football League, who was on the cover of TIME Magazine presented an idea that would change the game. In the TIME magazine story he has an idea to replace the kickoff.
That's right. Ban the kick-off. Jock sniffers around the country will riot, loot and burn Volvos.
Greg Schiano, the coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, came up with the idea, which by the way is under serious consideration in the NFL circle. They want to replace the kickoff. Here is Schiano's idea: The team that would kick off (i.e., the team that loses the coin toss) would get the ball at their own 30 yard line. It would be automatically 4th down and 15.
The game starts with a team on offense facing 4th and 15 from their own 30.
They can either punt or go for it.
Going for it would replace the on onside kick.
There would no longer be an onside kick, because there wouldn't be a kickoff. So the theory is most teams would punt rather than go for it on 4th and 15 from their own 30. And since the ball is punted very high and since it doesn't go as far as a kickoff, the speeds at which players would collide would not be as great, and the chance for great bodily harm and perhaps concussion would be reduced. Oh, and it may also prevent murder and suicides.
So before football gets banned, major changes will happen. The game as we know it will be a thing of the past. The wussification of America has entered the sports arena.
But wait a minute…What about Hockey? Have you ever sat down and watched a pro hockey game? Hockey players could kick any football players ass. Those guys take blows and receive injuries that football players would run away from. Injuries like being sliced open from skates, stick jabs, fist fights, and yes, concussions. How would you like to be hit by a flying hockey puck? Boston Bruins' defense-man Zdeno Chara, at the 2011 NHL All-Star Skills Competition was clocked with a shot at a velocity of 105.9 MPH. Let that hit you in the face or head!
My point with this rant today is that yes there are always going to be injuries in sports or damn near anything we do in life. This stuff just didn't up and start last week. We've always had these things happen. It's life. People get Carpal tunnel syndrome from texting. Are we going to ban that too? Maybe we should just sue the phone companies for our injuries. If football players can sue for concussions then where does it stop?
How about NASCAR drivers getting injured in crashes, baseball players getting hit with a bad pitch, golfers hitting fans, tennis players twisting ankles. Lets ban bowling while we're at it. Ever known a professional boxer who didn't slur? The whole object is to knock out your opponent. Are we gonna make them wear helmets in the ring? Sugar Ray Leonard nearly lost an eye. Evander Holyfield lost a freaking ear thanks to Mike Tyson.
We can carry this stupid argument till the cows come home and it will not make us any safer. What the NFL does is their business. Just don't send a federal agent knocking on my door when I'm reported for kicking or punching my heavy bag, or teaching my child how to perform a perfect spinning back hand. Leave me the hell alone.
The bottom line…Parents should make responsible and educated decisions before allowing their child to enter into any sport, no matter what it might be. Understand the consequences of your decision, and when your kid gets hurt don't go crying lawsuit to your kids coach. It's your fault, not the coaches or the schools. Unless of course there was clear fault on the other party.
You parents with your kids taking martial arts classes. Most of your kids will not learn, nor do they care. Only a very few will keep an interest and achieve the respect needed to be a true martial artist, and those are the few kids and parents that should be commended. There is no other sport that requires as much dedication and ritual than martial arts. Please choose your school wisely. A school window filled with trophies will not guarantee your kid is gonna learn anything. A good dedicated instructor who creates the right environment, very small classes, and lots and lots of time will be needed to become good. Not months, but years. Two to five to achieve a first degree black belt in Karate. You parents sticking your kids in mixed martial arts classes, expect injuries and don't expect your kid to master anything. MMA is relatively new for the public and only recently did someone come up with a belt system. One thing is certain, the owner of the MMA school saw you and your kid coming and will happily sign your little kid. Again, when your kid gets hurt, it's on you, not the school or the instructor. That's a long blog for another day.
Let your kids be kids. Get them involved in sports and expect them to get hurt. If they do, pat them on the back and encourage them to get back in the game. Don't baby your kid in front of the team or his friends. Your kid needs to learn how to win, and deal with losing. Winning matters. It's the object of the game and the object of life itself. To be a winner. It's what Americans strive for.
So if we ban or tightly control football we should expect what? Less injuries, suicide and of course less murders committed by head injured football players. -JRoycroft
War On Drugs: A Complete Waste Of Tax Payer Money And Resources
November 28, 2012 – As of the posting of this blog, combined money spent by Federal and State Governments to fight their useless war on drugs is over $37 Billion Dollars this year alone.
Legalize drugs and the crime instantly disappears. Prohibition helped create the Mafia. Making marijuana illegal created crime, drug lords, gangs, death and thousands of prisons overcrowded with people who were arrested for selling or smoking something that is safer than alcohol and cigarettes. Our United States Federal Government and Barack Obama are far more dangerous to our society than marijuana. We need to end the bogus war on drugs NOW! -JRoycroft
Kansas Students Are Hungry Thanks To Michelle Obama's Lunch Program
Michelle Obama is catching a lot of grief and criticism over her government school lunch plan. Seems that in Kansas, some of the students are complaining they aren't getting enough to feel full after eating.
"Some Kansas students and at least one political leader say new school lunch guidelines aimed at limiting calories and encouraging good nutrition are having an unintended consequence: Hungry kids," McClatchy reports. The report points to this parody video of kids complaining about the new lunch program established by First Lady Obama.
The kids at Sidwell Friends, the elite private school the Obama kids attend in Washington, D.C. probably aren't complaining about their pizza today.
According to the school's website, pepperoni pizza is on the menu today:
French Mushroom Soup
Classic Caesar Salad
Boston Bean Salad
Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza
Variety Flatbread Pizza
Variety Veggie Flatbread Pizzas
Sauteed Local Greens
Sliced Melon
I wonder did the Obama kids take a special healthy bagged lunch instead?- JRoycroft
Republican Todd Akin Must Resign!
August 20, 2012 – There are two issues that will kill any chances for a republican to get elected to anything, including janitor. Well actually janitor would be a huge step above any political office. I apologize for lumping those folks into that category.
The two issues are abortion and gay rights. Both are political suicide for the GOP.
Now we have a Republican making a complete ass of himself with personal comments on abortion and rape. I have something to say about guys giving opinion and or advice on abortion issues. Shut the hell up! You can't have a baby so sit down and keep your mouth shut. That's an issue reserved for women only. The only reason a man ever gets involved with the abortion movement is because he hates the idea that a woman has the power to stop his seed from growing. It's all about man controlling women. Don't even try to debate me on that. You will lose and go down like the testosterone lacking wimp that you are.
So here is the anti-abortion candidate, Missouri Republican, Todd Akin, saying that during a "legitimate rape" the female body has a way of preventing pregnancy. WTF? That ignorant comment guaranteed his failure to beat his Democrat opponent Claire McCaskill for her U.S. Senate seat. Way to go Todd! You've officially established yourself as a complete failure and moron.
Akin has this idea that a females Fallopian tube somehow detects a "legitimate" rape and has the ability to instantly tie itself into a knot to prevent conception. So with that logic, does that also mean that if Todd Akin gets "legitimately" raped, his dumb ass has the ability to shut itself down also? Just wondering.
The best thing this fool can do for himself and the Republican party is resign. Get the hell out of sight, and shut up.

BONNERS FERRY--A Bonners Ferry High School cheerleader remained in critical condition Wednesday night following a car crash on Saturday.
Kelsey Shutes, 18, was on her way home after a cheer competition when she was involved in a head-on crash.
Several schools from across North Idaho were stepping up to help Shutes on her road to recovery.
The Bonner's Ferry cheer squad was supporting the girls' basketball team at their districts competition Wednesday night, but they had to cheer without one of their key team members.
McKayla Moore described hearing the news on Saturday that her friend and fellow cheerleader was involved in a car crash. It happened as Shutes was heading home from the high school.
The cheer team earlier that day was competing in Moscow and had punched their ticket to the state cheer tournament.
"She just had her birthday February 4th, we sang to her at the game on February 4th. And a couple days later, she's in the ICU," said Moore.
Shutes remained in critical condition at Kootenai Medical on Wednesday.
An online campaign to support her recovery and family had raised well over $7,000.
Cheerleaders from other area high schools were even gathering donations.
"We even got contact from some of those cheerleaders and schools wanting to help out. Yeah, it was kind of a North Idaho support system that emerged on Monday," said Bonners Ferry High School Athletics Director Steven Morton.
While the cheer team continues to spread spirit, they are also spreading a simple message: Pray for Kelsey.
"She's just a sweet and amazing person. And just pray that everyone keeps them in her heart," said Moore.
Shutes' family said they are very touched by the support from all across North Idaho.
If you want to help out, a fund is set up in Shutes' name at Mountain West Bank in both Bonners Ferry and Coeur d'Alene.

Reader reaction to Reuters news
No longer a secret…
US builds drone bases in Africa, Arab Peninsula-report
WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) – The United States is building a ring of secret drone bases in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula as part of an aggressive campaign against al Qaeda affiliates in Somalia and Yemen, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing U.S. officials.
One base for the unmanned aircraft is being established in Ethiopia and another base has been installed in the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, the newspaper reported.
I was disappointed that you reported on the secret Air Bases being built by the CIA in Africa.
Is the country's national security not sacred?
Your reporter and Reuters crossed the line and may have put our troops at these bases in danger, not to mention that you gave away important intelligence information to the enemy who wishes to harm the Western world.
Too personal?

CAIRO (Reuters) – The last Arab despot I saw overthrown was Saddam Hussein. That was all very different from the fall of Hosni Mubarak, toppled this week by his own people, not the might of a foreign army.
This piece was too emotional and biased. It was something I expect from Aljazeera but not Reuters, which I deeply appreciate for being neutral, professional and providing the best NEWS reporting
Are these real articles?
Have things gotten so bad in the news business that you will now publish press releases for UFO enthusiasts with the unaltered lurid headlines that their agents give you?
Watch your credibility as a news organization circle the drain. It's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish Reuters from The Onion.
Where did this happen?
I am an avid Reuters news reader.
The new web design is nice but there is more scope for improvement.
A dateline is an important part of the story, but more and more Reuters stories are missing that. Here is an example.
It's always nicer to put the location and country in the dateline.
We agree datelines are important.
This is an irritating technical problem that is hiding datelines on some online stories.
No wedding coverage
News groups pull coverage of Swedish royal wedding
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Three news organizations pulled coverage of the wedding of Sweden's heir to the throne on Saturday, protesting restrictions set by a Swedish state broadcaster.
Reuters, owned by Thomson Reuters, Associated Press and Agence France Presse complained about redistribution terms set by Sveriges Television (SVT) for audiovisual rights to footage of Sweden's first royal wedding in more than 30 years.

TWO RIVERS, WI (WTAQ) - The superintendent of the Two Rivers School District is working for free this year.
Randy Fredrikson gave up $170,000 in salary and benefits, to thank the district that employed him over the last 26 years.
The 58-year-old Fredrikson tells the Manitowoc Herald Times-Reporter he appreciates the School Board which gave him a chance as the district's chief administrator in 1995, while staying with him through trying times and letting his wife teach in the school system.
Fredrikson is not drawing a salary or health and dental insurance this school year. Technically, he's retired -- so he is getting a state pension which he'd get regardless of whether he volunteered to work.

Jeremy Gomez, 29, is facing multiple charges after a police chase ended in a four-car traffic accident Wednesday night at 82nd Street and Indiana Avenue. He is charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon that caused bodily injury, one count of evading arrest and one count of driving while intoxicated.
The chase began after Gomez was allegedly speeding while driving eastbound on 82nd Street towards University Avenue. Police attempted to pull him over, but he drove off quickly in the opposite direction towards Indiana Avenue. That's when he attempted to run a red light and got in an accident, police say.
Four people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries: 23-year-old Samantha Villanueva and 22-year-old Quvondo Sanders, both of whom were passengers in Gomez's car, as well as 80-year-old Eiko Watanabe and 41-year-old Garcia Giovanni, who were in separate vehicles.
Police believe Gomez tried to flee because he had two warrants out for his arrest. In total, he has 17 prior offenses, including two charges for evading arrest and a prior DWI.
Gomez is currently being held in the Lubbock County Detention Center.

More information
Website - Division of Worker's Compensation
Email - WC Administration
Website - Division of Worker's Compensation
Email - WC Administration
Members present: Ms. Bean, Mr. Beiriger, Mr. Brand, Mr. Buchen, Ms. Connor, Mr. Furley, Ms. Huntley-Cooper, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Kent, Mr. Newby, Mr. Olson, Mr. Shaver, and Mr. Welnak
Excused: Ms. Vetter
Staff present: Mr. Conway, Mr. O'Malley, Mr. Shorey, Mr. Krueger, and Ms. Knutson
Medical Cost
Committee – Mr. O'Malley has completed work on re-drafting the Minnesota
Treatment Parameters to conform to Wisconsin law and rule drafting
conventions. The draft will be sent out to the WCAC members for review. Mr.
Newby asked if the department had an estimate as to a projected amount of
money to be saved by implementing treatment guidelines. Mr. O'Malley
responded that it is not known if there will be a savings.
Mr. Newby requested that the department research the issue of the feasibility of worker's compensation participating in the state plan for pharmaceutical benefits.
Disability Rates - Mr. Conway indicated the subcommittee's report was
sent to the WCAC members. A chart condensing the series of options with
estimated costs was distributed. Mr. Welnak requested information on the
cost for the benefit increase options per $100 of payroll (premium costs).
That information is currently not available. Total premium paid in 2005 is
estimated at $1.5 billion. Mr. O'Malley explained that the latest data from
the Worker's Compensation Rating Bureau (WCRB) is from calendar year 2002,
with $270 million paid in indemnity benefits and $400 million paid in
medical expenses. The data provided to the WCAC includes information on the
amount of revenue needed to pay supplemental benefits for existing permanent
total disability PTD cases. For new PTD cases, the additional benefits will
be calculated into the premium costs. Mr. Shorey explained that under the
current system, there is a 26 year lag between the maximum PTD rate in 1980
compared to 2006. The subcommittee is considering shrinking the 26 year lag
to 6 years so that the older PTD claimants are receiving 80% of the current
maximum PTD rate.
Mr. Shorey explained that the bulk of the Social Security offset occurs during the first 6 years of receipt of worker's compensation benefits. Mr. O'Malley noted that if the employee earned a low wage, the Social Security offset may extend beyond 6 years. Mr. Shorey noted that if the maximum PTD rate is increased, the Social Security offset may extend beyond 6 years. Mr. David Weir explained that for the first 6 years, the employee receives 80% of the employee's average current earnings (ACE) through a combination of worker's compensation and Social Security disability benefits. After 6 years, the employee's combined earnings go down (the employee is no longer receiving 80% of ACE). Social Security uses the highest years of earnings for the 5 years before the employee was totally disabled in calculating the ACE.
Mr. Buchen requested that the WCD provide cost information for advancing supplemental benefit rate entitlement in five year increments, assuming all other variables are constant (no change in benefit limits or entitlements). He noted that the additional cost would not be built into the premiums collected in the past. Ms. Connor stated that the subcommittee considered a special assessment on all employers to pay for existing PTD claims. Mr. Buchen expressed concern that only employers operating in Wisconsin now would be bearing the cost of the program benefit increases. Mr. Olson commented that Wisconsin is the only state where death benefits are provided if the employee's cause of death is not due to the work injury (depending on the amount of PTD benefits paid). Mr. Shorey stated that over 200 PTD claimants are over age 65. Mr. Newby requested that the WCD provide data for the next meeting on the issue of the percentage of premium dollars required for payment of PTD benefits.
1. – 7. Involve Professional Employment Organizations
(PEOs). At this time the department is still discussing concerns with the
Office of Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) and the Wisconsin Compensation
Rating Bureau (WCRB). These proposals are tabled until the next WCAC
meeting. Frances reported that NAPEO indicated they planned to attend the
next Council meeting on this topic.
8. The department receives frequent complaints from insurance companies that treating practitioners are requiring pre-payment for the final medical report from the treating practitioner. The final medical report is required under Wis. Administrative Code §DWD 80.02(2)(e)4. The department's proposal would prohibit the practitioner from demanding pre-payment for the report. Any dispute that arises concerning the fee charged for the report would be resolved under the reasonableness of fee dispute resolution process (Wis. Admin Code §DWD 80.72).
10. The proposed language does not address the situation where the doctor rates permanent partial disability (PPD) based on a percentage of loss. The department will have proposed language to cover this situation for the next meeting.
12. Mr. Newby inquired whether the disclosure of information complied with HIPPA. Mr. O'Malley responded that HIPPA does not apply to the WCD. The proposed language was intended to prohibit re-release of information unless authorized by the department. The draft language is based on language in the Unemployment Insurance statutes. The WCD will confirm that the proposed language is consistent with HIPPA. Mr. Kent suggested that when the WCD agrees to provide data for research, that it should have the right to view the overall result of the study without paying a fee to access it.
A WCD staff member has brought to WCD management's attention that the
department never developed a form as referred to in Wis. Admin. Code §DWD
80.49(7)(a). However, the department does have a form letter that is sent to
injured workers who have been off work 13 weeks. Mr. Furley stated that
additional information provided to injured workers is beneficial. The
department will develop a form for insurance carriers to send to injured
Mr. Newby requested clarification of the distinction between a temporary help agency and a PEO and the issues surrounding the department's proposal. Mr. Krueger explained that there are issues surrounding proof of coverage. An employer enters into a contract with a PEO. Currently, there is no procedure for the PEO to notify the department that it is on the risk for those employees and that it is providing coverage. If the employer and the PEO terminate the contract, the department is not notified. The employer is required to immediately have worker's compensation insurance coverage. However, one PEO went out of business, the employer was uninsured, and 17 claims were filed against the Uninsured Employers Fund (UEF). There is also an issue regarding the experience rating. There is no method to break out the losses for each client. When a client with a high experience rating enters into a contract with a PEO, the experience rating does not stay with the client. The department is currently discussing these issues with OCI and WCRB to arrive at proposed language that would be acceptable to them.

Why Don't We Remake Books?
I watched The Firm the other day. I hadn't seen it and something just compelled me to watch it. When I searched for it on Amazon Instant two results came up. The first was the one directed by Sidney Pollack starring Tom Cruise that came out in 1993. The other was something from 2012. I obviously wanted to watch the 1993 version.
As the opening credits rolled they read "based upon the book by John Grisham" and I struck with a nagging thought – this movie was remade and updated for the 2012 version, but the book was never changed.
Why don't we remake books?
It's an interesting question for which I don't really have an answer. We remake every other form of entertainment but for some reason we don't remake books. What do I mean when I say "remake"? Great question. It means different things in each form of entertainment.
Movies are notorious for remakes. We see them all the time, and I've talked about this before, but remakes are almost as old as movies themselves. Rebooting a franchise might be considered a remake, that's a case by case thing. The film industry thrives on remaking movies and it's hard to imagine a world without remakes.
We call remakes of songs "cover songs" or "covers." I don't know how song remakes got their own word, but at some point it happened. Some covers become so popular that they surpass the original recordings popularity (Clapton's "I Shot The Sheriff," Guns N' Roses' "Knocking on Heavens Door," and Jimi Hendrix's "Along The Watch Tower" come to mind immediately but I grew up on classic rock). Just like in film I can't really imagine a world without covers. (It's worth noting that there are some great Tumblrs dedicated to cover songs. My favorite is Copy Cats.)
Someone turned The Great Gatsby into an NES game. It has cut scenes, 8bit music, and a ton of animations and backgrounds. It's worth checking out.
[Great Gatsby Game thanks sammyjgee]
The cover from the first printing of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. So beautiful. Unfortunately a copy of the first printing will run you 7500 dollars. I've already read the book, how much do they want for the dust jacket.
Kindle DX
Here it is. Your larger screen Kindle. Boasting a 9.7 inch screen (2.5 times the size of the Kindle 2), 3.3GB of storage, native PDF support, for the low low price of $489.
The idea behind the the Kindle DX seems to be less focussed on replacing books, but actually replacing paper as a whole. We've all watched science fiction. We all know paper won't be around forever, to be replaced by some sort of tablet like reading device.
The only thing I think this device is missing is some way to transfer my PDF's to other Kindle DX users. Why cant I beam my presentation with IR to everyone else in the room? While I think this is a great experiment I'm more interested in seeing how this particular Kindle evolves.
This one is for your inner James Bond. Make Magazine brings you all the details on how to make a home made listening device inside a book. According to Make the process is very simple.
Connect a shirt pocket "amplified listener" hearing aid with an in-car FM transmitter, and you've got a wireless bug. Tuck them inside a hollowed out book with the mic concealed by the dust cover and you've got a covert listening device that you can leave lying around or on a shelf near a surveillance target. Then an undercover angent in the next room can eaves drop on any devious plotting through her FM radio
Most of these things you can get at Radio Shack … well, except for the book part. If you want to be ironic about the whole thing you can place it inside a copy of Ian Fleming's Casino Royale.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A Madison police officer has agreed to stop patrolling for good, in exchange for having a complaint dropped against him for shooting a musician to death.
Steven Heimsness has agreed to resign as of November 23rd, and Madison Police Chief Noble Wray agreed to withdraw allegations filed last month with the city's Police and Fire Commission.
Reports said Heimsness shot 30-year-old Paul Heenan to death last November after Heenan mistakenly entered a neighbor's house while drunk – and the officer later tried breaking up a scuffle between the two.
The Wisconsin Professional Police Association said Heimsness has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder since the shooting. Union director Jim Palmer said the officer's mental health is his main concern.
He was on administrative leave until Sunday, and was put on sick leave Monday. Heimsness will remain on sick leave until his duty disability application is approved or on November 23rd – whichever comes first.

The following cars represent the most technically advanced available.
The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa 4 and 4S bring a classic Porsche body style into the 21st century.
The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S combines technology and traditional sports car principles to deliver an excellent driving experience. The cabin electronics won't disappoint, but neither will they wow.
The Porsche 911 Carrera GTS delivers very exciting performance as a premium sports car. Cabin electronics are generally good, but not cutting edge.
The 2012 Tesla Model S sets a new standard for cars of the 21st century by integrating cabin tech equal to anything from the consumer electronics industry and incorporating a long-range, powerful, and efficient electric drivetrain.
The irony is that the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S' allure as "the fastest, most powerful production Jaguar model ever sold" is less about powerful performance than it is about making a powerful statement.
With its fantastic performance, the 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet works best as a track car or a weekend cruiser on mountain roads with the top down. Its mediocre cabin electronics reduce its comfort and convenience for everyday driving.

We take a look at the new Porsche 911 Turbo S, and have a look back at where it came from.
The new Porsche Boxster S is one of the best cars the Stuttgart-based manufacturer currently makes.
Tackling the 'Ring is something you simply must do at least once in your life. We had a go in a Porsche 911 Carrera S with some hints from a chap called Walter.
Creating an icon is a difficult thing, so Porsche's efforts with the 911 are nothing short of staggering. We take a look back at the 911's roots and where Porsche is going next.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Richmond woman has been sentenced for the death of her newborn daughter, who was left in a trash bin.
Media outlets report that Richmond Circuit Court Judge Clarence N. Jenkins Jr. sentenced 28-year-old ShaVaughn Robinson to seven years in prison on Wednesday, and then suspended two years of the term.
Jenkins also gave Robinson credit for time she has spent in jail since her arrest. She will serve about 47 months.
Robinson was convicted of second-degree murder on May 1. Jurors recommended a seven-year sentence.
Authorities say a janitor found the body of Robinson's newborn daughter in a plastic trash bag in a trash bin on May 28, 2013.
The Medical Examiner's Officer determined that the infant died from asphyxiation.

This product was the go to for color on stage at concerts in it's hayday, but as the can gets hot the gels melt & get burnt. The colors still carry a yellowish white light within them, giving you RGBY colors that aren't quite accurate!
