Clear, mid golden amber with polished golden glints
Lemon zest, icing sugar and green apple skin with vanilla and buttery almond croissant.
Honeyed yet robust and lightly spiced with lemony citrus, vanilla and plenty of spice.
Vanilla oak and enlivening spice.
Diffordsguide Rating - 4/5
Sweet fresh apricots, oats and malt. Slightly phenolic with magic markers and ash.
Big maltiness, rich breadiness that is quite toasty. Grilled cheese sandwich. Hay.
Simple, malty, and easy drinking. Feels like it is on the verge of exploding with heights of flavours, but never really takes off. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Rounded, straighforward, very pleasant and hearty whisky.

Blue Whale
The Blue Whale in Catoosa has become a beloved historic landmark along Route 66. The Blue Whale was originally built by Hugh S. Davis, a zoologist and family man who envisioned the whale as a special place where his grandchildren could play and swim in the nearby pond. His sketches of the mammal grew until they reached 20 feet tall and 80 feet long. With the help of a friend, Harold Thomas, the duo spent two years welding the metal framework and applying the hand-mixed cement, one five-gallon bucket at a time.
After the whale's completion in July 1972, it attracted visitors from ...

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Saturday, January 17, 2009
I know it's a bit early to start thinking about Chinese New Year, but I wanted to start a week ahead and post several recipes that would make perfect dishes for the upcoming Chinese New Year, such as this Chinese Marbled Tea Egg recipe.
Isn't the shell of the Tea Egg absolutely gorgeous? The best part (other than eating) is to peel back the egg shell to see what kind of marbled design you end up with!
We generally eat these at room temperature or just slightly warm. In Northern China, Chinese Tea Eggs symbolize golden nuggets for the Chinese New Year feast – so if you're lookin' for a little more prosperity this coming year of the Ox update: it's the Year of the Tiger this year! my Mama says you'd better make this recipe!
My friend Diana, author of Appetite For China recently was vacationing here in Tampa, Florida and I got to meet her! (yeah – we got a pic together too! at the end of the post.) She includes dried orange peel in her recipe and I'm sure she'll be enjoying Chinese Tea Eggs with her parents in China.
For Chinese Marbled Tea Eggs, you'll want to hard boil eggs first, and after they cool off, use a back of a teaspoon to gently crack the eggshell all over. Keep the eggshell intact, but the more you crack, the more intricate the design of the marble will be. Make those crack pretty deep, as that is how the tea/soy mixture will seep into the egg.
I was gentle at first, but after seeing that the eggshell stayed intact, I cracked the next egg a bit harder…and what a difference that made!
Chinese Marbled Tea Egg Recipe
Ingredients:6 eggs
3/4 cup soy sauce
2 star anise
2 tablespoons black tea (or 2 tea bags)
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorn (optional)
2 strips dried tangerine or mandarin orange peel (optional)
Gently place the eggs in a medium pot and fill with water to cover the eggs by 1-inch. Bring the pot to a boil, lower the heat and let simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the eggs (leaving the water in the pot) and let cool under running cool water. Using the back of the teaspoon, gently tap the eggshell to crack the shell all over. The more you tap, the more intricate the design. Do this with a delicate hand to keep the shell intact. To the same pot with the boiling water, return the eggs and add in the remaining ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil and immediately turn the heat to low. Simmer for 40 minutes, cover with lid and let eggs steep for a few hours to overnight. The longer you steep, the more flavorful and deeply marbled the tea eggs will be. In the photos above, I steeped for 5 hours. Mom likes to steep overnight.
And as I promised, here is the lovely Diana!
If you want to teach your kids about Chinese New Year, this book called Dragon Dance is great!
you made wonderful marbled eggs.
Nice eggs!
There's a little tea place by my house that sells these, and I absolutely needed to know how to make them. Turns out, like you've detailed here, I can easily recreate them in my kitchen (with a bit of time).
Thank you so much for the comprehensive recipe! Now I make these all the time!
tea eggs are so delicious!!!!! i dont eat the yolk because i think its yucky, but i could literally eat 50 million of them all at once. sooo gooood
I tried making these eggs twice this past weekend and I just can't figure out how to get the eggshell cracked enough to allow the soy mixture to seep in. Both times I *thought* it would be enough (my eggs looked just like yours in the second picture) and I allowed them to soak overnight. Only one looked right, the rest had barely anything. Any ideas on what I can do differently? As an aside, they did taste good.
Hi! These look wonderful and I would like to try them. I'm wondering, though, do you leave them to steep out in room temp or can you store them in the fridge?
Do you hard-boil the eggs and THEN heat them again and follow the steps? Or does this include hard-boiling the eggs?
But doesn't so much cooking or simmering make the yolks get really overcooked and greyish? The grey yolk tastes more bitter than a yellow yolk. How is the yolk supposed to look when you do it properly? thanks.
I made these for my fiancee as she and I ate way too many while in Fujian last summer and had a bit of withdrawal. The recipe is simple and delicious, though we needed to let them sit an extra day (or cook a bit longer) to get the stronger taste we're used to. She said they reminded her of her hometown so that's always a good sign. Thanks!
Being chinese, I eat this ALL of the time, but I never bothered to learn how to make one! I always bought it from stores. Can't wait to try actually making one!
Remember to use only free range eggs! Torture-free, and better for you.
Hi, I press down and roll them on the counter, it always works for me…I didn't have luck with the spoon cracking method the first time I made them and I was making them for a large group so that takes too long. I hope that hint helps. Off to prepare our New Years Feast!
It's not Soya that colours the egg, it is a mixture of strong tea (Cha)e.g Olong is pretty good but any Dark Tea will do,as for how to get the cracks, when you've boiled them for say 20 in ordinary water,cool them under a running tap (cold water)put them one at a time in your Palm, and gently with the back of a Teaspoon tap the shell all over several times, taking care so as not to break it too much and place them back in the Pan but this time with all the ingredients and boil for say an hour,take them out allow them to cool, and follow the rest of the Recipe.
Have a G'day Day.
Hi Jaden,
I hope you don't mind me linking this article to my Teabuddy blog. Please check it out here.
I have credited Steamy Kitchen and added your URL for my followers to your recipe. If you have any objections please let me know and I will remove it immediately.
Many thanks,
Very nice! Will definitely try it very soon
Hi! I would love to try this ! But it says soy sauce … Would that be the dark or light soy sauce …? As for the cinnamon stick I have none but I do have cinnamon powder … How much would you recommend I use ? Thanks

Dogs are so great at getting us away from our technology. I work at home on the computer. Esme lays peacefully next to me. Then it's time to go out, time to eat, time to go for a walk, time for a brushing, time for another walk, time to toss the ball. Esme both breaks up the day and structures it. Highly recommended antidote for too much technology!

The Huayhuash mountain range is very compact and steep. It is also home to the second highest mountain of Peru: Yerupaja Grande (6634 m).
Visitors will see snow-capped peaks, glaciers, blue lagoons full of trout and beautiful scenery every day of the circuit.
There are eight high passes to cross: the highest has an altitude of 5000 m! The circuit is not too difficult to complete but a certain degree of physical condition is required.
A good physical fitness is desired and definitely a huge advantage

10. Day: Trekking Jahuacocha - Pampa Llamac (4300 m) - Huaraz
1. Day: Huaraz - Pocpa Village - Camp Cuartelhuain (4250 m)
Pocpa Today we head off to the Cordillera Huayhuash, to Llamac, the starting point for surrounding the Cordillera Huayhuash.
After 1,5 hours we have reached the 3.250 meters high village. Now we will hike for one hour past the river towards Garahualanca where we can take a fantastic picture of the Huayhuash range.
Further 2 hours later and after a few ups and downs we arrive at Pocpa, a small Andean village at a hight of 3450 meters.
Later on it goes further up, up to 4000 meters high, our camp Cuartelhuain or Matacancha is located right there.
In between we get to see mines of Palca. All in all we have to expect 7 hours of walk for today.
2. Day: Matacancha - Cacanan Punta (4700 m) - Laguna Mitucocha (4300 m)
Laguna Ninacocha From Cuartelhain we will carry on upward.
Over narrow serpentines we climb up further towards the pass of Cacanan at a height of 4700 meters.
Only 400 meters further down the marvellous Laguna Mitucocha is located.
Here we will build up our camp.
All in all it takes us about 5 hours for this trip to the camp.
Who has some dispensible energy left, can climb up further 200meters up high, until reaching the Laguna Ninacocha, one of the most beautiful mountain lakes of the Cordillera.
Directly above us appear two enormous ice giants, namely the Rondoy and the Jirishanca.
3. Day: Mitucocha �" Punta Carhuac (4650 m) �" Laguna Carhuacocha (4200 m)
Laguna Carhuacocha On the right hand side a fantastic high valley appears, which we will also cross.
A bit later we will climb on until reaching the Punta Carhuac after 3 hours of walk.
Here we will see the Yerupaja for the first time, with its 6634 meters the second highest mountain of Peru.
Next to it numerous other high summits appear, for instance Siula Grande or Jirishanca.
The further course of the way leads us down towards the deep blue lagoon Carhuacocha.
This is the perfect place to build up our camp. At a height of 4200 meters it is quite comfortably warm, the views are terrific! Today's routes should be managed within 5 hours.
4. Day: Carhuacocha - Pass Siula (4900 m) - Quesillococha/Huayhuash (4330 m)
Punta Canicero For this day there are 2 possibilities, the classical route or the alternative of passing by the Siula.
The classical route turns from the lake on into the Queropalca valley.
Another high valley leads us to the Punta Carnicero towards the highest point of today's tour at 4600 meters.
While descending we will pass numerous lagoons until reaching the camp place at the Caserio de Huayhuash, 300 meters further down.
The other option offers even nicer views and leads us over the Laguna Siula.
We climb 200 meters up to the Laguna Quesillococha, which lies in between the impressive eastern flank of the Siula Grande.
From here on we carry on upwards, a pass at 4900 meters hight has to be overcome.
On the way lies another beautiful mountain creek, it is unbelievable clear. Now we will walk directly to the Camp Huayhuash.
This tour will take us 5-6 hours in total.
5. Day: Huayhuash (4330 m) - Pass Portachuelo (4730 m) - Viconga (4400 m).
Portochuelo The trek leads us further into a high valley.
On half of the route in between the Huayhuash and the Portachuelo an interesting pass crossover is located, for which usually special ice equipment is needed.
Next to the Trapecio (5644m) and the Puscanturpa (5430m) also the Portochuelo (4730m) appear impressively in our view.
For camping we will use the Laguna Viconga (4400m) or the Cajatambo village (3400 m).
6. Day: Viconga - Punta Cuyoc (5020 m) - Huanacpatay (4325 m).
Punta Cuyoc From Viconga we cross dense Ichu grass towards northeast. Later on the way gets more and more stony, no wonder, as we are passing the Punta Cuyoc, the highest point of the whole trip.
Therewith we cross the 5000m barrier for the first time.
Eventually it will be also possible to include another hike to another small 5000er.
But in every case, the panorama over the Cordillera Huayhuash is just breathtaking.
We follow the path into the close valleys where there are a lot of possibilities for camping. Until here it will take us 7-8 hours.
7. Day:Huanacpatay - Before Pueblo Huayllapa (3600 m) - in direction Punta Tapush; Camp Huatiac (4300 m).
From Huanacpatay Afterwards the way goes further upwards again, leading us through, we are passing the small village Huayllapa, we will see many local people - our next Camp Huatiac.
8. Day:Huatiac - Punta Tapush (4800 m) - Laguna Susucocha - Cashpapampa (4500 m).
Afterwards the way goes further upwards again, leading us through the Pampa of a high pass, namely Punta Tapush.
The way is steep, the cross over is 4800 meters high. From here on we climb downwards, our destination is our camp at the Laguna Susococha.
Today's tour will take us more or les 3 hours until finally reaching the blue shining lagoon.
9. Day: Cashpapampa - Punta Yaucha (4870 m) - Camp Jahuacocha (4066 m). Option: ascent Diablo Mudo (5350 m)
Diablo Mundo From Susacocha we climb up the Diablo Mundo towards one of the easiest 5000er in the Huayhuash region.
It should lay a bit of snow on this height of 5350 meters, nevertheless the ascend can be managed without difficulties.
Especially Jirishanca and Yerupaja play to the gallery beautifully.
For those who want to take it easy today, they can take the easier way over the 4800 meters high paso Yaucha, beautiful views included.
In every case a few meters descent are waiting for us, as today's destinations the Laguna Jahuacocha at a height of 4066 meters.
Here at the border of the huge Yerupaja we will build up our tents, the views are always breathtaking. The route will take about 8 - 10 hours activity.
10. Day: Trekking Jahuacocha - Pampa Llamac (4300 m) - Huaraz
Llamac Today our way up is not too long, "only" up to the 4300 meters high Pampa Llamac.
Before we will climb a bit further down to a small river, passing a real green land.
From the pass the way leads us directly into the small Andean village Llamac, where we will conclude today's tour.
This we should have managed within 4 hours. Therefore we will have enough time to enjoy the overwhelming mountain region and the immense panorama.
From Llamac we will return to Huaraz we can again enjoy a bit of luxury.
As you wish This day can be used as an additional day for surrounding the Huayhuash and can be arranged accordingly.
As well be could shorten the tours a bit in order to have more time to admire the beautiful environment.

A man is dead after an accident late Thursday night on Interstate 35 in Waco. DPS says a 2006 Ford pick up truck collided head on with a semi-truck on the 338A exit ramp at 11:32 p.m.
Police say the driver of the pick up was driving the wrong way on the exit ramp. A FedEx truck, exiting off the southbound lanes of I-35, tried to swerve out of the way to avoid a crash, but hit the truck and a median.
DPS troopers do not know why the driver of the pick up was driving the wrong way, and are still investigating the crash.
The driver of the pick up truck was pronounced dead at the scene and has been identified as 43-year-old Paul Loa. Meanwhile, the driver of the semi-truck was sent to Hillcrest Hospital with major, but non-life-threatening injuries. Troopers say the driver is in fair condition as of Friday morning.
Southbound traffic on I-35 between Meyers Lane in Lacy Lakeview and 12th Street in Waco have been backed up most of the early morning.

PPG Refinish
19699 Progress Drive
Strongsville, OH 44149
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio – October 8, 2008 – PPG's MVP Business Solutions team recently hosted a major conference for collision center owners and managers from across North America. The conference, held September 15 – 17, at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, provided the 200 attendees with a powerful combination of guest lectures, management training and peer-to-peer exchange, all focused on improved shop performance and competitiveness in today's changing collision industry.
According to Jim Berkey, director of MVP Business Solutions for PPG Automotive Refinish, the timing of the conference was critical. "Right now, the collision repair business is facing what could be considered a perfect storm of challenges, with fewer repair opportunities, increasing performance demands, shrinking profits and higher operating costs. This conference was intended to support and educate our customers on how to gain a competitive edge and succeed in this changing climate. The conference is just one element within a comprehensive set of value-added programs, all designed to keep our customers in the game."
Highlights of the conference included guest speakers Alex Sun, president and CEO of Mitchell International, Inc., and Michael Martyn, founder of SISU Consulting Group. Sun, regarded as an industry expert, offered an excellent perspective on key economic and industry trends that continue to impact the collision playing field. Martyn, a Lean turn-around consultant, discussed the challenges of driving significant change quickly and how to focus the organization's attention on the critical few initiatives that make the performance difference.
A special program tailored to the refinishing industry by The Disney Institute provided PPG customers with a unique opportunity to get a "behind the scenes" look at Disney and then translate what they saw and learned to current collision Industry challenges.
Breakout sessions and peer-to-peer discussion groups held during the three-day event gave attendees the chance to customize and optimize their conference experience. Topics ranged from Throughput Performance principles and the practical application of Lean Six Sigma for collision repair to fundamental best practices for estimating, repair planning, marketing and goal setting. Attending owners and managers were able to fine tune their business strategy, and attend multiple seminars and discussion groups, all focused on gaining a competitive advantage.
Commenting on his perspective of the conference, experienced Lean operator Ken Friesen of Concours Collision in Calgary, AB, stated, "We have been on the Lean journey for some time and it was great to have the opportunity to work and learn with so many sharp owners and managers."
Additional collision center attendees also commented. "It was a great conference. It gave me a chance to really work on my business with a planning and performance improvement focus," said Ralph Defibaugh, owner, Spa Body Works in Clifton Park, NY. "The best-in-class shop owners and managers are the ones that attend these events. I am taking back a lot of golden nuggets from them to help me improve my business," added Ron Perretta, owner, Professionals Auto Body in Duncansville, PA.

No. As a profession, we should continue to strive toward becoming master mechanics who can diagnose and provide both expert conservative and surgical care for the most important and complex machine of the human body, the foot. Our patients deserve nothing less.

Armed American police officers will now be able to stop Canadians, in Canada, inspecting, checking and asking questions. The Conservatives will tell us that an armed American cop in Canada is all about trade, jobs and security, not sovereignty. If this is true, then can we not expect to see Mounties stopping Americans on the Buffalo side? I don't believe Canadians want American police operating and carrying guns in Canada. It's just not right. Harper did promise though that when he's done, we won't recognize Canada. Perhaps we can all reminiscence about that when stopped and questioned by an American police officer, in our own country.
Whenever Canadians cross the border, it is inevitable they will find cheaper goods in the United States. There is a reason that helps explain part of the price differences: $3.6 billion in customs tariffs. All consumers would benefit from more competition and an end to anti-consumer tariffs. But more importantly, low-income Canadians would benefit the most.
One year after Obama and Harper launched an initiative to negotiate border security improvements, the two governments are making good progress. The new border order being negotiated promises to complete the transformation of our border security efforts into effective defences that pose no threat to innocent travel and commerce.

As once suggested, if you really want to understand what being in Beijing is all about today, go to the Kentucky Fried Chicken overlooking Tiananmen Square and gaze out the third floor window. From the Forbidden City, Chairman Mao's eyes fix the geometry across the People's Square. In the southwest corner Colonel Sanders throws a sideways glance across the Imperial Axis. People eat KFC chicken. Incoming KFC employees are indoctrinated in fast food etiquette. Fifty meters away the historic core of the Ming Dynasty is evacuated. Post-Olympics, Beijing is in the game. Ancient Chinese spatial strategies collide with American suburbia pathologies; Leninist-Capitalism high-jacks the city producing a less predictable, more volatile set of futures. Our eyes recover from the retinal burn of the arc welder. Urbanism eclipses the city as we knew it. The fixed smiles of Chairman Mao and Colonel Sanders stare off into oblivion.

Sure, a rosy glow is a sign of a kick-butt workout (go you!), but if you're still sporting that flush long after you've left the locker room, you're probably among the 60 percent of people in the United States who say they have sensitive skin -- a number that's doubled during the past 30 years, according to Jessica Wu, MD, a dermatologist in Los Angeles. Why the increase? Derms suspect that one of the main reasons is product misuse. "Women are choosing the wrong products for their skin," says Howard Sobel, MD, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York City. That can lead to inflammation, the root of all redness. If you don't treat it, the condition may affect your complexion, making it more vulnerable to wrinkle-inducing damage, Dr. Sobel says. But now, help is on the way! We identified the five most common sensitive-skin complaints and asked top docs to share their best soothing secrets.
Treat Flaky Skin
If you're experiencing scaliness, your skin is sending you an SOS: "It's so inflamed that the cells are lifting, which results in peeling," says Debra Luftman, MD, a dermatologist in Los Angeles. The probable cause is an irritant in one of your products or an allergic reaction to an ingredient.
Calm the culprits
Treat inflammation with a 2.5 percent hydrocortisone cream and stop using scrubs, retinoids, and alpha hydroxyl acids. Also, fortify your skin with a moisturizer that contains niacin, like StriVectin-SD for Sensitive Skin ($79, strivectin.com). You should see a difference in just three days, notes Leslie Baumann, MD, a dermatologist in Miami.
Fight future flare-ups
If it's an allergic reaction, which is characterized by a swollen rash, go to your derm, who can ID the allergen with a patch test. (Preservatives and fragrances are two biggies.) Choose products that are labeled "fragrance-free" and avoid those with a laundry list of ingredients. "Fewer ingredients mean fewer chances to react to something," says Jeanine Downie, MD, a dermatologist in Montclair, New Jersey. Reconsider your cleanser, too. Foaming washes can strip away protective oils. Opt for a milky formula and make sure alcohol isn't one of the first ingredients. We like Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions Sensitive Facial Cleanser ($10, burtsbees.com).

BREAKING NEWS: Matt Baker has been sentenced to 65 years in prison. Baker said he believes he is still innocent and that the jury has made a mistake in this decision. He was accused of killing his wife and trying to cover it up as a suicide.
Jurors deliberated for two hours before imposing the sentence for 38-year-old Baker. He faced from probation to life in prison for slipping his wife sleeping pills and suffocating her in 2006. During closing arguments, prosecutor Crawford Long who previously called Baker a "murdering minister," said he killed his wife in "cold-blooded cruelty" and seemed to take pleasure in getting away with it.
Defense attorney Harold Danford said Baker "did some things he's not proud of" but reminded jurors that Baker is eligible for probation because he had not previously been convicted of a felony.
by Sara Talbert & Staff Updates
WACO - Attorneys for both sides made final arguments to the jury after 2 o'clock this afternoon. Matt Bakers attorney as the jury to give him probation. Prosecutor Crawford Long pointed at Baker and said, "Because of your heartless, soulless actions you deserve the maximum sentence."
The jury is expected to be deliberations on Matt Baker's sentence shortly.
Several witnesses took the stand Thursday morning in the sentencing phase for former pastor Matt Baker. They shared aggressive sexual encounters they had with the convicted murderer.
The first person called to testify was woman who worked with Baker in 1996 at the Waco Family YMCA. She said she was 17 at the time and recalled an incident in which she and Baker were working alone in a room. She says he came on to her, grabbing her breasts and trying to kiss her.
She also said she didn't report it until six months later, when the YMCA began asking if anyone had similar encounters with Baker.
The second witness asked to testify was a high school classmate of Baker who told jurors they dated in high school. She said one time while he was visiting home from college, he came on to her at her parents home. She said she had to use all of her strength to get him off of her.
Finally, a friend of Kari's cousin told jurors that just before the Bakers' daughter Kassidy died, they visited her at Cook's Children's Hospital in Dallas. She said while waiting for Kari and Kari's cousin, baker approached her in the children's game room.
She said that was the first time she had met him and added he invited her to go to a room he said the hospital provided for parents of terminally ill children, placing his hand on her leg.
Wednesday night, after seven and a half hours into deliberation, the jury in the Matt Baker trial returned a guilty verdict.
They found enough evidence to convict the former pastor for murdering his wife Kari Baker, who Matt drugged and suffocated in 2006.
As Judge Ralph Strother prepared to read the jury's decision, Kari Baker's family and friends braced, tissues in hand, waiting for the verdict. Nearly all began sobbing upon hearing the word "guilty."
Matt looked stunned. He expressed no emotion when the verdict was read. He said nothing as sheriff's deputies escorted him out of the courtroom and took him to the McLennan County Jail.
No parties involved commented after the trial because a gag order is still in effect through the sentencing phase, which begins tomorrow.
Life in prison is the most Baker can get for his crime. His lawyers have not indicated whether or not they would appeal the verdict.
Vanessa Bulls, who testified to how Baker killed his wife, was placed Wednesday on paid administrative leave from her teaching position in Harker Heights.
Seven hours into jury deliberation, Defense Attorney Guy James Gray called for a mistrial. Judge Ralph Strother quickly denying his request. Gray states the jury has been questioning the testimony by Vanessa Bulls concerning a March 30, 2009 interview she had with Detective Rodriguez. Gray said during the trial, he tendered the tape as a prior inconsistent statement. He said the note from the jury shows they are having a question about the inconsistency and now that it's too late to render it into the record, Gray called for a mistrial.
Strother replied with a stern "denied."
The jury continues to deliberate.
Judge Ralph Strother received a fifth note from jurors this evening. They asked for a transcript of Vanessa Bull's testimony regarding the time she spent with Matt at his daughter's birthday party, just two weeks after Kari's death. The judge said the court could comply with that request but that it would take a significant amount of time to find that information and put it in a transcript form. He also instructed them to continue their deliberations while waiting for the transcript. The jury is now being fed.
The jury sent out their fourth note just before 7:30 this evening. The note asked Judge Strother if a transcript of Vanessa Bull's entire testimony could be provided to them. The Judge sent them a note stating that could only be done if there was a disagreement among them regarding the testimony and that only the particular section they disagreed on could be provided to them.
The jury also asked for dinner. Judge Strother said he would wait to see what their response was to his note before "providing dinner to the jury at the taxpayer's expense."
Just after 6:30 this evening the jury sent out a third note to Judge Ralph Strother, asking if they could exclude the "suffocation" part of the charges against Matt Baker.
The Judge told them "you need to consider both the rule of law and the charge you were given" in determining guilt or innocence.
Baker was charged with murdering Kari Baker by "administering drugs to her and suffocating her with a pillow," according to the Grand Jury indictment from March of 2009.
Around 2:20 p.m. Wednesday, the jury began deliberations in the Matt Baker murder trial. If convicted Baker faces up to life in prison.
Defense Attorney Guy James Gray called his first and only witness to the stand shortly after 8:30 Wednesday morning. Brent Watson, a forensic scientist with the Texas Department of Public Safety, testified on the probability of DNA he found on the Unisom bottle and alleged suicide note found at the scene.
After the defense rested their case, the state presented additional evidence of e-mails between Matt and Kari and replayed the 911 tape of the night Kari Baker died.
The judge has released the jury to prepare the court's charge. Closing arguments will follow.

500 - 1,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Entersekt
We at Entersekt went looking for a solution to 100% safe, hassle-free online banking, and we found it ‒ in your pocket.
Banks work valiantly to secure their customers' accounts, but some of the measures they put in place are a drag. You're probably familiar with one-time passwords, strings of letters and numbers your bank sends you to authenticate individual online banking transactions. They seem a clumsy and rather inconvenient way to verify your identity with your bank, but it's worth the hassle if it keeps your money safe, right?
Newsflash: passwords are simply not that secure.
That's because you enter them into your online banking site. What if the site isn't what you think it is? What if it's a phishing site that cleverly mimics your online banking? What if your computer or phone is infected with malware? Here's what: your login details and that one-time password will be harvested by criminals who will use them to steal your hard-earned cash. It happens every day.
At Entersekt, our engineers spent years perfecting an entirely new way to keep your money safe, one that replaces cumbersome one-time passwords and guarantees safe banking on the Internet. We call it Transakt®, a patented mobile app that transforms your phone into a personal authentication device.
It's this simple
•Transakt launches automatically when you perform an online banking transaction
•Once logged in, you're presented with the transaction details
•A simple "Accept/Reject" choice is the only further action you need to take
•There is no need to type in one-time passwords and no additional hardware is required
•All communication between your phone and the bank is encrypted
•Your identity is tied to your handset, so you are free to change your phone number or SIM card
** Please note, tablets are not currently supported.
Tags: secured by entersekt.
Transakt now supports multiple services.
(61 stars)
So far, it works well with Lastpass but I want to get more out of it. How do I know which banks are supported?
(61 stars)
I love that there are no codes I have to type in when I use this. Only complaint is that solution isn't supported by many thibgs I would use 2fa for.
(61 stars)
Whenever I get a notification and tap it I get the dreaded "Transakt has stopped responding" prompt from Android. If I enter the app from the icon on my home screen it works fine. 4 stars because of the notifications issue. Other wise its' a 5 star ap
(61 stars)
I have this linked to LastPass and I get the notifications but pressing accept or reject doesn't do anything. No response from the app at all. I have to press the back button on my phone to get a one time password. Never works and takes longer now then Go
(61 stars)
As soon as I click the 'let's begin' button the app force-closes on my Nexus 4.
(61 stars)
Using Transakt for LastPass 2FA is super simple. No more entering Google authenticator codes :-)
(61 stars)
The app crashes the moment I start to use it so I have no idea how well it works. I had to delete it. I dont do banking or anything that needs security on my tablet other than read books.

Like most local figures of note, the facts about Manse Jolly fade when the fiction begins. He was larger than life before he reached the age of 25. By this time, he was considered the Robin Hood of South Carolina. And while his commanders may have surrendered at Appomattox, Jolly kept on fighting. But before we get to the myths, lets see some facts:
- He was born in the Lebanon area of Anderson County some years before the war, the exact date is unknown. He was 6' 4", had red hair and could read and write.
- Jolly served as a Confederate Cavalry scout in the 1st S.C. Calvary, Company F. He was an expert horseman and well skilled in fighting with knife, pistol, and rifle.
- He was one of seven sons, all of which served in the war. Jolly and a younger brother were the only ones who survived. Of the five dead, four died on the battlefield and one in a field hospital.
- Upon returning to Anderson, he vowed that he would kill five Yankees for each brother who died. As of 1932, his birthplace was still standing, near the Anderson-Liberty Highway. Locals tell of a well on the property that was filled with bones and tattered uniforms bearing buttons engraved with "U.S."
Manse Jolly's last ride was made during late 1866 to early 1867, when he dashed on his horse, Dixie, down Fant Street through the Yankee camp. He yelled and screamed at the top of his lungs, firing pistols in each hand. So startled by the rebel yell, the Union troops thought they were under attack. Jolly escaped from his Union pursuers and left Anderson County for good. He made his way to Texas, where he established a new life.
It is estimated that Jolly killed 23 white soldiers before fleeing his home (some reports take the number to 100). The number of black soldiers he killed is unknown. His legend grew in the telling and it was reported that he killed more Union soldiers on his way to Texas. Manse Jolly died on July 8, 1869 near his home in Texas. He drowned in a river as he was trying to cross it. He had been married for one year and left a wife behind. His daughter was born a few months later, and his descendants live on today.
His remains were laid to rest in a forgotten cemetery in eastern Milam County, Texas (the Little River Cemetery). His tombstone simply says: "Sacred to the Memory of Manse Jolly, age 29 years." He is remembered as a murderer, a terrorist, a rebel, a hero, or a bushwacker, depending on who you talk to.

It's really fucked that we can just say we puked or we have a sore throat and stay home from school but we can't say I'm too sad to go to school or I want to jump off a bridge and school isn't the best place for me right now. Mental illnesses are just as serious as any physical illness.Parents need to realize this.

My friends and are always looking for a good place up north with a good happy hour. We go there and are enjoying their happy hour specials and we have an appetizer which was pretty good. We had been hanging out for a solid three hours when the manager (I'm guessing) sneaks up behind me and tells me to turn my hat around. Now, I'm not usually a trouble maker or the loudest guy in the group, but he made me very uncomfortable. The other three people at my table, two good looking girls and another guy, agree that was pretty ridiculous and persuade me to turn it backwards and if they kick me out, we will all leave. We a couple more drinks and sure enough the guy sneaks up behind me again and says, "Bro, if you don't turn it around you have to leave." So we left.
We weren't being loud or obnoxious, we were chillin in the back corner of a not full patio. I think it is pretty ridiculous to turn away paying customers because of a backwards hat.
I understand that they might want to keep their establishment classy or whatever, but let's use some judgment. Was it really worth kicking us out?
I would have chosen zero stars if it were an option. I think the guy was rude and his actions were uncalled for. It's pretty safe to say I won't be going back.

How To: Make Soda Water at Home
We have sworn off bottled water and drink our water straight out of the faucet - with one exception: seltzer. We love the bubbly stuff, especially in the summer. It's a great palate cleanser, and we drink gallons of carbonated water and lime with our meals. Plus we really like to add fresh juice or flavors for a healthy alternative to soda.
The expense adds up, though, at nearly a dollar a bottle, and the packaging and transportation bother us. So we've been doing a little research into home carbonation. From pre-packaged to homemade, here's a range of options with pics and links for those of us who can't get enough seltzer.
• Do It Yourself: For those comfortable working with things like regulators, tubing, and clamps, here is a great Instructables tutorial for building your own bar tap-style setup for carbonated water. He takes most of his process from this very thorough article. Final cost: about $100 setup and $.02 per liter.
• The 1-Touch Method: The system offered by Soda Club USA is an easy, streamlined way to make soda water at home. You buy a Fountain Jet soda appliance along with a startup kit that includes gas chargers, flavors, and bottles for about $80. The chargers give you about 110 liters, and charger refills cost $20.
Read a review of this system. This leaves you with one more big, one-use appliance sitting on your countertop, but the cost is not bad - $80 startup, then about $.18 per liter.
• The Old-Fashioned Way: In the past, soda water was made at home and the bar with a seltzer bottle - you can still find vintage glass versions of these on eBay and in antique shops. They're often very beautiful. It's a simple system: a soda siphon with an attached gas canister carbonates water. It's a similar system that is used in whipped cream dispensers, and you can buy these through Fantes and other online shops.
There's some danger with these; you need to follow instructions precisely or the bottle could explode. Also, with the cost of cartridges you're still looking at about $.50 a bottle.
Here's a review from a blogger who uses a seltzer bottle, with a helpful chart comparing storebought seltzer and homemade, contrasting cost, fizziness, liberal guilt assuaged, etc.
• And for Bay Area dwellers... You can also buy your seltzer water from the Seltzer Sisters - they'll deliver straight to your door.

I just don't get the whole carbonated water thing in the first place. Drinking the carbonation in soda is bad enough...
In NYC don't forget Walter the Seltzer Man -- he delivers seltzer in those great vintage bottles out of the back of a bread truck. Every week or month (depending on the extent of your seltzer habit) they pick up your empty bottles and leave you with a wooden crate of filled bottles.
It's a classic old New York job -- and as I remember his rates aren't terribly high.
I also have to thank you for this post. I fell in love with a German man and found myself with a seltzer habit shortly after that. How can I get in touch with the NY Seltzer guy? Does he deliver to Brooklyn?
As far as I know, the seltzer guy delivers to all boroughs -- since it's a small operation, though, I think it depends on how he can fit a new customer into an existing schedule. Maybe a few people in the same area could sign up at once...
I saw him in my neighborhood one day and signed up then and there...but a little googling led me to a site that says his number is 718-468-4047. I haven't tried it, but you could.
When I was a wee lass in Chelsea in the '80s, my parents used to have two crates of seltzer in those (now-)vintage bottles delivered every week. I still miss 'em.
I've bought N2O cartridges and a charger from http://www.creamright.com, which the blogger in the article above links to, and had a good experience with them.
I sell Soda Club machines here in Upstate NY, and let me tell you, pricey, but worth it. I adore ours. I've had one since I was 7 and it's been a long lasting love affair and every year there is a new flavor.
I like seltzer too! This may ruin the whole homemade fun and all, but if you've never tried La Croix, you should. They make all sorts of flavors, from lemon to lime or even berry. And they come in cans so they're much cheaper! The seltzer delivery in vintage bottles does sound like a lot more fun though!
My friend lives in Inwood, and she gets seltzer from Walter. It's REALLY good stuff. The carbonation is light and of a better quality than store-bought seltzer, and the bottles are really cool.
I've got a soda club soda maker and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I make a bottle of seltzer just about every day (for me alone). It's so inexpensive and easy. Sure, the maker is a unitasker but I use mine so often it doesn't bother me.
I buy whatever selter is on sale at the grocery store -- pathmark, acme, etc. I get a case 24 cans for about $2.99, bottles are sold sometimes as low as $.44 to $.89, not cheap. I was drinking Vintage brand, then I went to the store brand. Comes in flavors, cherry is the best, but I enjoy plain just as well. Other flavors are lemon lime, orange, raspberry, etc.
I received an old-fashioned seltzer bottle as a gift. I love the seltzer it makes, but it bothers me to create more trash with the canisters. Any thoughts on this?
The Soda Club machine uses larger CO2 containers that are recharged rather than thrown away. For me, that's enough to cinch it over the endless disposable small cartridges.
1) If you buy a seltzer bottle off ebay, don't be a fool and get the kind that is really just meant to be refilled by the seltzer man and is consequently useless. I was a fool.
2) I think Walter has a waitlist now.
The Brooklyn Seltzer man's name is Walter Beckerman and there are several nice articles about him on the web. I also found Gomberg Seltzer Works, 718-257-9369, and this lovely little article by the New York Press http://www.nypress.com/print.cfm?content_id=10119.
John Matthews (1808–1870) is credited with the development
of a device to carbonate soft drinks. And you can visit his over-the-top grave at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn. It's a hoot.
You're not the only one! I started using soda siphons and other nitrous charger accessories on all my home made stuff... even whipped cream. The kids seems like it a lot more, especially the wife... I've purchased things a few times but so far the best was Whip Its .org.
One tip I can give is using metal pieces, including the dispenser and charger cap. Much smoother experience.
I also drink a huge amount of soda. I looked at the sodamaker but it was really expensive. I thought there has got to be a cheaper way. Finally I found plans to make a home made system that is WAY cheaper than the sodamaker -- I can make seltzer for less than 2 cents a liter! Here is where I found the plans to build your own soda and seltzer system in about 10 minutes for less than $100 bucks.
It's serving me well and I am making some delicious sodas! And I don't end up using all that plastic, or even worse, shipping all that water!
You can also buy referbished 5 gallon soda kegs from places like http://stores.kegconnection.com/StoreFront.bok or home brew stores for about $30. They have set ups that use paint ball CO2 canisters. Its easy and costs less them other methods.
Yeah i was wondering wat are the side effects of inhaling Unknown Gas?
The Soda Stream system is great! Not sure why, but the company makes it seem as though you need to exchange your canisters with them by mail (which, from reading many reviews, seems to be an extraordinarily slow process), but in fact you do not. Many mainstream retailers- Macys, Williams Sonoma- sell the canisters and will take your used ones. Just call your local home/kitchen store. The canisters aren't cheap, but the convenience of making seltzer at home without having to lug liters and liters of it from the grocery store every week is a lifesaver!
I have a soda stream I love it, hate the syrup though! http://howtomakesoda.com
Making your own carbonated water at home is the best! I make it using Sodastream, read my blog here http://simplenaturalsolutions.com/how-to-make-carbonated-water-at-home/
As if the carbonation is the bad part of soda.
Dear Akino,
It is not the carbonation that is harmful with sodas, it's the phosphoric acid. That's the constituent that can be used as a rust remover.
Kind regards

Free Agent Week Post #2: Bad Day at Black Rock
This is Kyle Wellwood. He's lost his check (I assume it's the Leafs mascot, no doubt named Harold).
Word tonight that he's probably lost his career. The Leafs are apparently going to let him go as a UFA even though he isn't yet eligible. They're moving on, they have other players (and will acquire more) and they need to find out about the new kids in the next season.
Wellwood is 5-10, 180, earned about one million dollars last season and scored 8-13-21 in 59 games (minus 12). His PP numbers (5-7-12) were pretty much half of his offense. At EVs he played with average linemates and against lesser opposition and managed a poor 0.97 pts/60. Among Oilers regulars (forwards), only Jarret Stoll (0.76) had a poorer number and he was doing some heavy lifting.
On the powerplay he performs at 4.11/60 which is Dustin Penner territory.
Wellwood's problem is that he has so many things that are average or below (size, speed, soft, injury prone, can't check his hat) that it overpowers the things he can do (he can create offense and make wonderful passes in scoring zones, plus he's not a bad PP option).
Will he get another job in the show with a different NHL team? I think he will. There are teams in the NHL whose forward depth is so poor Wellwood could catch on as a 4line option and gather minutes (if healthy) as others fall away. Toronto apparently has no use for Wellwood. They may be willing to invest those at-bats in a prospect from their organization or trade for another player with similar skills.
Say, Rob Schremp.

Nail polish of the day posts, reviews, tips, and tutorials!

Caviar nails round two!
This time, I used Loreal's #530 "Now You Sea Me" (two coats) and silver microbeads purchased at the craft store.
I love the simplicity of this look, with just a small pop of detail on the ring finger.

My first attempt at saran wrap nails!
This is super easy to do, if you haven't already seen a tutorial for it. You simply paint your nails a base color (I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed) and let it dry completely.
Next, you paint over the base color with your second color (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in #390 Binding Blue) and immediately scrunch up a piece of saran wrap and press it into the wet polish to achieve the sponged look.
Finally, finish it off with a topcoat! Pictured here I used a gloss topcoat, but I also tried it with a matte topcoat and that looked really good as well.
It's definitely a fun look for summer and a great way to experiment with different color combinations!

I resisted this trend for the longest time…I wasn't sure if I liked it and I didn't really want to delve into something that everyone else was doing.
But I finally caved, and I'm so glad I did!
I didn't buy the Ciate kit, which runs about $25 at Sephora.
Instead, I bought a multi-pack of microbeads at the craft store, which after a coupon came to $4. Can't beat that!
I used Revlon's "Peachy" & "Minted" with clear/irridescent microbeads. I absolutely love the way that the polish looks showing through!
I painted all of my nails with one coat, let it dry completely, and then went through with the second coat & worked with each nail individually, pouring the microbeads over the wet polish.
It really couldn't be easier…the biggest tip I can give you is to not use a top coat or to only use it on the very tips of your nails. The topcoat more or less ruins the effect.
Let your nails dry completely (about a half hour) and enjoy!
Also! Don't forget my giveaway, which ends Thursday!

Happy 4th of July!
To achieve these super fun, eye-catching and festive nails is extremely easy.
I started out by coating all of my fingers (aside from my ring finger) in Sally Hansen's Nail Growth Miracle in #340 "Divine Wine".
Next, I covered the nail of my ring finger in Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear "White Out".
Then, after letting my nails dry completely, I used my Kiss Nail Art brush in white to paint stripes on all of my red nails.
I then used my Salon Express stamping set (available at drugstores for about $10) and used the stars pattern with Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear #250 "Blue It". This can be pretty tricky and might take a few tries to get it right, but I think the result is worth it!
Lastly, for a little extra sparkle, I covered that nail with Spoiled "Shaken Snow Globe".
Let everything dry completely and finish with a topcoat and you have beautiful 4th of July nails!

I have absolutely been loving the tribal print trend and I think it's especially fun for summertime!
For this look, I used:
Sonia Kashuk #29 "Purparazzi", CQ #466 "Purple Passion" & Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #04 "Blue Me Away!" in addition to my black Sally Hansen nail art pen and my Kiss nail art brush in white.
I based my design off of this tutorial: http://pinterest.com/pin/93238654755751918/
And voila! Gorgeous summery tribal nails!

Mint green and gold is officially one of the most fabulous combinations ever.
This look is super easy and fun to do, but there are a few tips to follow for success.
I began by applying three coats of Revlon's "Mint". I let this dry for a few hours so that I was sure it was completely dry.
Next, I used two pieces of scotch tape, with the corners meeting in the middle of my nail. Something really important is that you want to cut the ridged edge off of the tape from where you tore it off so that it's completely smooth.
I then painted one coat of Orly "Rage" on the two exposed triangles of my nail.
I advise you to work one nail at a time, that way you can peel the tape off immediately, that way it won't dry and it will come off smooth.
Lastly, I used my LA Color Club nail art polish in "Gold" to outline the triangles. This is optional, but I think it gives it a more finished look, as well as hiding any tiny imperfections from where you tore the tape off!
Finish with a topcoat, and voila!

I love this look. It's so great for summertime- bright, eye-catching, and sparkly!
Thumb, middle finger & ring finger- Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Nail Enamel in 405 "Peachy", 3 coats.
Thumb & ring finger- China Glaze Capitol Colors Collection "Luxe and Lush", 2 coats.
Pointer finger & pinky- Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri "Peachy Breeze"- 2 coats.
06 4 / 2012
Happy Easter!
These glittery pastel gradient nails remind me of Easter egg and could not be easier to do!
1) Paint your nails a solid color. I used Essie's "a crewed interest" which is a pale pink, but you can use white or whatever pale color you want.
2) Next, take a makeup sponge (the wedge shape) and on he squared end, paint your three (or two or four, or however many you wish!) colors and stamp it onto your nail. When you're doing this, you want to work fast so that the sponge doesn't dry out!
3) Let the first coat of the gradient dry- it will probably be very light. Next, you're going to repeat step two to reach maximum opacity.
4) You're welcome to leave the look as it is and just finish with a clear topcoat (picture four is the look without glitter), but I love the way the glitter looks. It also helps to sort of blend all the colors together and cover up imperfections.
5) Take a cotton swab and dip it in nail polish remover to clean up around your nail bed.
6) Cover with a top coat and enjoy!
Polishes used:
Essie "a crewed interest" (base coat)
Love & Beauty "Mint"
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear "Lacey Lilac"
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Blue Away"
Spoiled by Wet n' Wild "Shaken Snow Globe"
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

These dual-tone nails are probably some of my favorites ever!
It's super simple too!
First, paint your entire nail bed one color. I used Funky Fingers "Taffy Town", though I don't recommend this polish too much because it takes about 3 coats for opacity and it has a very dull finish. Make sure you begin with the lighter color!
Second, let it dry completely. Then, take small pieces of scotch tape and tape it through the middle of your nail on a diagonal. You may want to get a friend to help with this, just to make sure it's all straight!
Third, paint your second color. I used Revlon's "Siren", my favorite fiery orange color. If you use a color darker than the base coat, it should only take one coat to achieve opacity.
Fourth, peel the tape off when your nails are still tacky. I would suggest waiting about two minutes, but if you have quick dry polish you may want to do it earlier. This is important so that the tape doesn't take off any polish with it.
Fifth, (optional!) take a nail art brush or pen and paint a thin line where the two colors meet. I used Color Club's Art Club in "Fine Gold".
Finally, top it all off with a topcoat! Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri No-Chip topcoat is my absolute favorite, as it dries quick and makes your nails super glossy.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
This is just Sally Hansen HD Nail Lacquer in 04 "Hi-Def", which is a pearlescent green color, with gold stripes from Color Club's Art Club Nail Art Lacquer in "Fine Gold". I used three coats of the Sally Hansen for maximum opacity and two of the gold nail art polish.

Adam Dunn went 4 for 4 with two homers and five RBIs to overcome two home runs by Toronto's Jose Bautista and give the Chicago White Sox a 10-6 victory in a game delayed 1 hour, 10 minutes by fog Monday.
Dunn hit a three-run home run off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (5-8) in the fourth inning after he hit a solo shot in the third.
The game was played from the second inning on in fog which became so thick in the third inning that fly balls became an adventure. Umpires stopped play in the third and the fog continued to varying degrees even after the break.
Bautista matched a career high with five RBIs and his first-pitch, first-inning home run with Melky Cabrera on first base gave Toronto a 2-0 lead.
Dunn's homers gave him his 36th career multi-homer game and he matched a career high with four hits. His five RBIs helped the White Sox score 10 runs in a game for the first time this season.
