The old batteries are important – recycled from the owners car once he buys a new one. The Deep cycle batteries which we are told are the right product for this environment, in reality do not hold a charge over the winter when not in use. (more…)

S.B.C. Testimonials
Comments and testimonials from those who have taken part in S.B.C. Yoga courses, classes and retreats
Hristina Connor
"Zoe's classes and yoga training method offer a blend of practical down to Earth instructions and compassionate energy I have been able to apply in my own yoga classes immediately.Her calming way of teaching focuses not only on an individual attention but goes beyond hands-on alignment techniques by touching our hearts thus making us aware of interconnectedness of the mind, body and soul.During Zoe's classes I developed a capacity to nourish and restore my own energy and as a teacher, to convey the messages clearly through accurate demonstrations within a safe and healthy student environment."
Asami Martens
"I met Zoe during my yoga teacher training in Byron Bay 2009. I was in shock after the first yoga class with her because it was dynamic and challenging, but I fell in love with her style and teaching right away. Her knowledge about the body awareness, Asana yoga techniques and the sequencing is incredible. When I practice yoga with Zoe, I always get an inspiration from her. Her continuous study towards yoga leads to creative and original classes. Zoe gives on going support to all of her yoga students. She gives care and compassion. Zoe creates beautiful energy in the classroom to healthy environment for students to look into themselves during the practice"
Carla Fergusson
"Zoe's classes are a dynamic yoga encounter, full of body challenge and informative body movement education while sweat drips from your nose! Zoe's evident self practise and and depth body mechanics knowledge base transform into a dynamic flowing yoga practise, and with her keen eye she provides precise adjustments to benefit individual body dispositions. She blends breath awareness and mindfulness both on and off the mat to make a complete yoga experience."
Dianne Pratt- Pilates Instructor
"I have known Zoe for several years now and I have attended her yoga classes in Adelaide and Byron Bay. I asked Zoe to teach yoga at my Studio as I was very impressed with her attention to detail and her knowledge of the anatomy. Being a Pilates practitioner I am very focused on helping people to correct muscle imbalances in their bodies and to make them more aware of their own posture. Zoe has a wonderful way of giving everyone in her yoga class individual attention and encouragement with hands on alignment while still maintaining a beautiful flow throughout the class. I love the connection of the mind and body, bringing an awareness of the breath and working from the "inside" to the "outside" which is very similar to my Pilates practice. I have found my Pilates practice has benefited from doing yoga as my flexibility and focus has improved for which I must thank Zoe."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Sorry for the double post but i rambled a bit there and didn't explain myself. Let me fix it:
I just hope this will be a game where the average Joe can go over a friend's house and learn to play in a few minutes. I should not have to spend hours trying to teach this person a game. What they should have is a little card board cheat sheet with spells and stats (with descriptions! Ex: Flash Of Light / Costs 150 Mana / Heals a player for 500 Health). Maybe something where each player can buy a starter set, have a 5 man instance or something. This way, each player can learn their class (much like the game).

For Value Investors: 2 Conglomerates to Buy, 1 to Avoid
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Editor's Note: The original post omits Tyco's spinoff of many of their business units. This post has been corrected and Motley Fool apologizes for the error.
In my view, conglomerates are one of the best ways to diversify in an economy with tax efficiency. If you just "buy and hold" the stock, you should theoretically track the broader macro trends with no taxable turnover. However, sometimes companies that look like conglomerates are more heavily concentrated in one segment than what many investors may recognize. This is not necessarily problematic. Below, I consider several conglomerates with a bias towards the long position.
Why I Like General Electric (NYSE: GE)
In the 4Q of 2012, Iberdrola SA, Spain's biggest electric utility company, announced it will sell its French wind energy company to General Electric. GE's decision to acquire the wind company reflects bullishness on what is forecast to be the third largest renewable energy sector in 2015. The deal was valued at $400 million, and it is complemented by GE Oil & Gas's $500 million contract to supply equipment and services to Petrobras. The latter will be used in offshore oil production, which is expected to experience considerable growth. Thus, the contract will pay dividends not just now but well into the future by improving GE's "resumé," if you will.
The most recent quarter also saw an uptick in the underlying momentum. The most recent quarter saw industrials organically grow 8% y-o-y and backlog peak at $210 billet. Revenue of $39.3 billion came in $590 million ahead of consensus and was complemented by management's brightened outlook on China.
In a recent evaluation of GE's assets and revenues, it was seen that 20% of its $699 billion in value is going towards the operation of its businesses, while the rest, 80%, goes to their hedge fund GECC (GE Capital) for various forms of investments (debt, equity, loans, VC etc.). This ratio actively under management has been said to make GE more of a fund pool rather than an industrial company. In times of financial weakness, such as now, capital companies see worsened ROIs and make their parent company's shares go down. GE is expected to see a decline in their shares in 2013, from $1.73 to $1.68.
Being largely a financial, however, isn't always bad. The firm's decision to acquire MetLife's bank deposits will add $6.4 billion to lower borrowing dependence. As a whole, GECC provides 84% of the firm's liabilities and all but 10% of cash control. The stock trades reasonably at 15.9x past earnings, offers a 3.5% dividend yield, and carries a 11.1% forecasted growth rate. Combined together, these variables make GE a strong investment
3M (NYSE: MMM): the Good, the Bad, & the Alternative
If you are looking more for a real "tech conglomerate," you may be tempted to consider 3M. 3M's dividend yield is at 2.5%, and the company holds a 96 year history of paying dividends and more than 50 years worth of increases. In the year 2011, 3M paid over $1.5 billion to its shareholders and re-purchased $1.8 billion. This represents 77% of past earnings being returned to shareholders. The stock is also 12% less volatile than the broader market. So, in terms of low risk investments, 3M fits the bill.
But the stock looks relatively expensive at a respective 15.8x and 14.4x past and forward earnings. 3M grew EPS by only a rate of 3.3% over the past five years, yet a rate of 10.6% is expected over the next five. In my view, this puts downside pressure on the firm. Even assuming the company meets expectations, the stock would be worth $139.05 at a multiple of 15x. Discounting backwards by 10% yields a present value of $86.34, which is 13% below the current price. Accordingly, I would recommend avoiding 3M if you want to make a value investment.
Instead, I would consider a firm like Tyco (NYSE: TYC). In my view, it is trading at an unrecognized discount. While many investors look only at the trailing and forward earnings multiples, free cash flow is ultimately what shareholders see at the end of the day. And Tyco has a strong free cash flow yield of 8.6% that comes on top of a 1.9% dividend yield. Investors have started to pick up on this value story, as evidenced by the 13.7% gain over the last three months, a near quadrupling of the return on the S&P 500 over the same time period.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A woman will stand trial for the murder of her boyfriend at an apartment complex in Howard.

According to the criminal complaint, Phillips told police she shot Rosenberg in the head after he had choked her during an argument after Phillips told Rosenberg she believed she was pregnant.
But the complaint shows Phillips talked to a neighbor the night before, and was mad because she thought Rosenberg was lying about talking to his ex-wife.

Chapter Two – Salvatore Scotch
Damon's POV
In that second, I understood what people meant when they said someone looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights of a car. Or, a rabbit caught by Stefan would probably have the same expression, poor little bunny. Ric stared at me blankly, then slowly turned himself in the direction of the front door and stared at where Jess had disappeared to mere seconds ago.
"I'm a… Jess is… Isobel… I… what?"
"I never knew you had such a way with words, Ric," I smirked. Stefan rolled his eyes at me, but Alaric seemed unaffected by my sarcasm.
"How could that have happened?" Ric whispered.
"Well, you see, Ric, when a man and a woman love each other very much, or in my case a man and a woman are very, very bored-" I started, a small smile playing on my lips.
"I get how it happened," Ric snapped suddenly. "Buthow… how is everything linked? How did my wife, who happened to be turned into a vampire, get turned by my vampire student's brother? How did my student who finds out she's adopted happen to be my wife's first child? How did the child my previously mentioned wife and I gave up fourteen years ago end up being my girlfriend's adopted niece?"
"You gave her up?" I asked, my voice suddenly serious.
"Isobel said she didn't want kids at that moment in time," Ric replied with a nervous shrug. "I was… nineteen years old at the time? She seemed to know what she was doing, so I let her get on with it."

Washington • Visitors heading to national parks in Utah and other areas this summer can expect to complement their wholesome outdoor experience with new nutritious food options.
As part of a healthful and sustainable food initiative announced Wednesday by Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis, concessionaires in national parks will offer a new range of options catering to the more discerning diner.
"There's no reason," Jarvis said, "to take a vacation from eating well when you visit a national park."
This new initiative aims to build on the 2011 "Healthy Parks, Healthy People" program to pair visitors' health with the great outdoors.
"We want to add to that by providing food that is lower in calories, is lower in fat and sodium," he said. "It's meat without hormones, and it's fresh and local as well and highly sustainable."
Park officials on Wednesday showcased from the four largest concession vendors some new menu options, including juniper smoked bison strip loin, gluten-free almond crusted chicken tenders and fresh spring strawberries and cream.
"We're really in a crisis in this country when it comes to our kids and our families' health," said Sam Kass, executive director of "Let's Move!," first lady Michelle Obama's program aimed at eradicating childhood obesity. The potential impact of this new initiative is huge, he said, given the number of visitors who pass through national parks every year.
"This is what families are calling for," Kass said. "Parents are calling for better choices, healthier options at an affordable price, and this is a huge step in that direction.
Mike Litterst,a spokesman for the National Park Service, said that these healthier options were more in keeping with the activities available in U.S. national parks.
"If you spend the day in America's great outdoors hiking or fishing or kayaking," he said, "perfect sense is you want to come back at the end of the day and have a healthy meal."
Jewell praised the efforts of the concessionaires present at the ceremony.
"Healthy food is something that they have been continuing to provide over a long period of time," she said, "but this commitment today is about getting the word out on that."
Visitors who prefer to fuel their outdoor activities with traditional comfort foods will still have the opportunity to indulge. The new healthy options are an addition, Litterst said, not a substitution.
"We're not taking things away; we're not saying you can't have that cheeseburger if that's what you want," he said, "but we're offering a range of new choices, healthy menu options, fruits, vegetables, lower-fat options."
The initiative is geared toward educating kids, not just about healthy eating, but about local culture through learning about locally sourced products and regional dishes, officials said.
"You can showcase the foods of your region, you can tell the story of the Indian tribes in Utah," Jewell said. "This gives us a platform to do that and tell a bigger story that incorporates food."
Bruce Fears, president of Aramark Parks and Destinations, the concessionaire for Lake Powell, said that his company had been working to ensure that healthful options don't hit consumers in the pocket.
"We try to really work to make sure that we are competitive and the price is reasonable for a family traveling to Lake Powell," he said. Healthy options are currently available at Aramark outlets throughout the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, including at a new restaurant slated to open at Wahweap next month.

A woman is aiming for the top. Poppea loves Nero, who is (not by coincidence) the ruler of Rome. She skilfully conceals her past and disarms all adversaries until there is nothing which can hinder her coronation.However, Monteverdi not only portrays the life and loves of a high society dream couple. This glamorous existence is counterpoised with the world of the servants and employees, who have their own desires, dreams and ambitious plans. And from the lowest rung of the ladder, things can look completely different …

That said, I am rather alarmed that Volusia County failed to pass the recent school tax, although I do feel a sales tax where everyone pays is much more fair than a property tax.
Remember we get what we pay for and then think of the weakened minds we are leaving for America's future. Don't you want to make a difference? I realize I've already encouraged you all to join "E Cubed Alliance -- Expecting Educational Excellence" and unite on its Facebook page but because I'm fueled by a stubborn passion, I cannot quit what I began years ago and refuse to stop believing in the power we the people possess here in America when we work together.
Jennifer A. Luznar, New Smyrna Beach
In response to: 'Thanks for nothing'
In response to Mr. Doumas recent letter in the Nov. 23 edition critical of the efforts of Volusia Tax Reform to defeat the School tax referendum, the primary focus of our campaign was exactly the same as the school district: to educate the public.
We often see local folks elected to office from outside the establishment and we suddenly expect them to be experts in the consequences of the tax policies they are implementing. This is a flawed assumption. Tax policy is complicated.
Several statements made by the school board during our debates displayed a lack of understanding of these consequences on their part. For instance, one member said we need to have higher tax rates than other counties because our property values are so low. This is circular logic. Our property values are low because our high tax rate keeps jobs and business from relocating here or growing existing business.
A sales tax would have been much more palatable because the property tax has already become so progressive it is affecting property values. More than 60 percent of the burden of property taxes goes directly on the backs of business and homes whose assessed value exceeds $150,000.
Volusia is already near the top of the millage rate pyramid. We would actually increase revenue if we lowered millage rates as California did by enacting Proposition 13 in 1978. This would encourage job creation and raise property values while spreading the burden more equitably.
All this is on top of the obvious flaws in the system of bloated bureaucracy that the school board refuses to cut. Until we see some structural reform, such as privatizing the bus system to save money, we should be skeptical of any more requests for funding by a district that is the dominant line item on our (tax) notice.

Reading is extraordinary. It captures a child's imagination while teaching him or her how to read, how to write, and how to think, and the mere existence of a public library causes children to read more. Encouraging parents to bring their children to the library is even better. When you discuss the broad array of services provided by public libraries, don't forget the books.

Smoky and Spicy Vegetarian Chili Recipe
By cathyeats
Difficulty: Medium | Total Time: 3 hours | Active Time: | Makes: 8 servings
I wanted to create a vegetarian chili that is deeply flavored with real chiles, and spicy enough to make smoke come out of your ears. I think I've finally cracked the code with the recipe below. It includes six types of peppers, including smoky chipotles, along with pan-charred onions and serranos, beer and a hint of chocolate – resulting in a chili that is intense, complex and spicy.
- 1 1/4 cups dried pinto beans
- 1 large dried ancho chile
- 1 dried guajillo chile (or sub another ancho)
- 12 ounce bottle beer, divided
- 1 very large white or yellow onion, thickly sliced
- 4 fresh serrano peppers
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, preferably Mexican
- 1 package chicken-style seitan, chopped
- 1 4-ounce can fire-roasted green chiles
- 1 chipotle pepper, from canned chipotles in adobo
- 2 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups reserved bean cooking liquid
- 1/2 ounce bittersweet chocolate
- Soak the beans overnight, or use the quick-soak method (see below.) Drain, cover beans well with fresh cold water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer. When the beans are nearly tender, add 1 teaspoon of salt. Continue cooking until tender, about 1 hour total (cooking time will vary based on the type and age of beans.) Drain beans, reserving cooking liquid.
- Heat a cast-iron pan until very hot. Add the dried chiles and press down with a spatula and cook until the peppers begin to soften and are beginning to blacken, about 1 minute. Remove from pan, cut off the stems and shake out the seeds. Tear the chiles into pieces and place in a blender along with 1 cup of the beer, and puree until smooth.
- Re-heat the cast-iron pan over high heat and add the onion slices and Serrano peppers. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning the onions once, until they are well charred and soft. Remove the onions and chop. Cut the stems off the serranos and chop. (For a milder dish, slice the peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds before chopping.)
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large heavy pot or dutch oven. Add the garlic, celery and bell peppers and sauté for about 10 minutes. Add the prepared onions and serranos, cumin, black pepper and oregano and cook for 2 minutes. Add the seitan, fire-roasted green chiles, chipotle and chile puree and cook 2 minutes more. Add the remaining beer, tomatoes, bean cooking liquid and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add cooked beans and cook 10 minutes more. Stir in chocolate and serve,
- Note: to quick-soak beans, put them in a large pot and add cold water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil and boil rapidly for two minutes. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 1 hour.

Devils Lake Fire Chief, Jim Moe says the official cause of a fire that destroyed the Dakota Dried Bean Elevator on Monday will remain, "undetermined".
Moe says there are 3 possible causes… an over heated bearing, dust on light fixtures or spontaneous combustion. Moe says spontaneous combustion is the likely culprit. That's when wet, molding material and the gases from it, burst into flames.
The elevator and the 100-thousand bushels of pea by-products used for pet food was valued at one-million dollars.
Fire Chief Moe says the insurance company will make the final determination regarding the cause of the fire.

Social Media Spotlight: Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza
For this week's Social Media Spotlight, we are pleased to introduceAnthony's Coal Fired Pizza. New York native Anthony Bruno moved to South Florida more than 25 years ago with his father to start Anthony's Runway 84, now a Fort Lauderdale icon. Unable to find the great pizza he remembered, Anthony decided to introduce South Floridians to the old-world art of coal-fired cooking and opened the first Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in 2002. The concept caught on like wildfire.
Known for its high energy atmosphere and simple menu, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses 800-degree coal burning ovens to create a "well done" taste. Signature menu items include specialty pizza made with the freshest, top-quality ingredients, coal-oven-roasted chicken wings topped with grilled onions and Italian-style salad. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza's food and service have continually been ranked "very good to excellent" by Zagat Survey, the distinguished dining and entertainment guide.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza has 20 locations throughout Florida, as well as 9 locations throughout the Northeast (DE, PA, NJ, NY), including White Plains. Expansion plans include additional locations in the Northeast and South Tampa, FL.We had the pleasure of speaking with Toby Srebnik, the Director of Social Media, and here's what he had to say about their social media marketing strategy.

How Social Media Celebrates Osama bin Laden's Death
Ever since the announcement of Osama bin Laden's death late Sunday night, people worldwide have been celebrating. After Navy SEALS raided Osama's compound in Pakistan and shot him, news stories and coverage have been spreading quickly. Traditional methods of media coverage were put into motion automatically, but the social media scene exploded too. It's very typical that big news stories, such as the Royal Wedding, get a lot of attention throughout social media networks, but let's see how much buzz Osama's death created.
The Webby Awards: Social Media Nominees
Do you love watching award shows such as the Oscars, the Grammys or even the VMAs? It's time to tune into a different kind of award show this year – the Webby Awards. Started in 1996, this award ceremony celebrates the excellence of web experts, businesses, creative celebrities and visionaries across the Internet. This year, you can find nominee categories for interactive advertising, online videos, mobile apps, and viral marketing, to name a few. But among all of these intriguing categories, let's take a deeper look into the 2011 social media contenders and give you a better idea of how innovative the industry is. From video and creative design sites to a social network for the deceased, we'll cover it all.
And the social media nominees are…
Foursquare Day: The Follow Up
Last week, we were excited to inform our readers about the 2nd annual Foursquare Day. There was a lot of hype leading up to this social media holiday, with venues and events promoting special offers for their customers, but how did it all turn out? By the amount of checkins, we can assume it was a huge success…
Dennis Crowley, the co-founder of Foursquare, sent out a tweet that informed his followers of the record-breaking amount of checkins on Saturday. 3,073,635 checkins were made worldwide, which was the first time the social media site broke three million in one day. In addition to this whopping 3 mill, Google searches brought in more than half a million hits for the site. Thanks to the social media community, Foursqaure Day received much attention from its users.
Foursquare Day: A Social Media Holiday
By now, we have all seen the power social media has in regards to businesses, advertising, building personal connections, and even how it affects governments worldwide.
But on April 16th, social media has something else in store for us… a global social media holiday. Foursquare Day was started by Nate Bonilla-Warford, who figured it would be a cool concept for everyone to check into Foursquare on the 4th 16th of the year… better known as four squared. His idea spread quickly over Facebook and Twitter, and on April 16th of last year, the first Foursquare Day was celebrated. As we prepare to celebrate this new-era holiday on Saturday, it is important to understand what this day is all about.
Social Media Enables Social Isolation
Before you read this, ask yourself this, "Do you find yourself using social media an hour or more per day to interact with peers?"
You may suffer from social isolation.
Today's society has been bombarded with social media platforms and apps to further isolate the individuality of a person. The days of grabbing coffee and having simple conversations are ancient history. Why waste time traveling to have a conversation that we can easily have sitting in the comfort of our homes, wearing PJs and snacking on junk food?

Aug. 29 (Bloomberg) -- The fourth straight year of surplus cotton output and the biggest drop in Chinese imports since 2000 are creating record global inventories, signaling higher profits for the makers of Hanes underwear.
Stockpiles will jump 8.6 percent to 93.765 million bales in the 12 months ending in July, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in an Aug. 12 report. There are enough inventories to make three pairs of jeans for every person in the world and reserves doubled since reaching a 13-year low in 2010. Prices may fall 8.8 percent to 76.6 cents a pound by the end of 2013, according to the average of 16 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
China, which uses about a third of the world's cotton, will reduce imports by 46 percent, or 9.33 million bales, from last year as it focuses on supporting local producers. It is accumulating the biggest stockpiles ever after the government bought supply to aid farmers as economic growth slowed. The USDA's prediction for Chinese imports is about twice the drop it expects in global output, at a time when crops are improving across the U.S., India, Brazil and Australia.
"We expect weak Chinese demand and high global production to continue weighing on prices," said Paul Christopher, the St. Louis-based chief international strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors, which oversees about $1.3 trillion of assets. "The Chinese economy is slowing and export growth has been weaker than we expected for textile mills and other manufacturers."
Demand Expands
Cotton rose 12 percent to 83.95 cents on ICE Futures U.S. in New York this year as improving yields reduced concern about drought that had driven prices as much as 25 percent higher. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities advanced 3 percent since the end of December, and the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities added 7.4 percent. The Bloomberg Treasury Bond Index lost 3.3 percent.
Global production will drop 3.9 percent to 116.38 million bales in the 12 months that began Aug. 1 as demand expands 2.3 percent to 109.85 million bales, the USDA says. A bale weighs 480 pounds (218 kilograms). China's stockpiles will surge 16 percent to 58.26 million bales, more than five times what it held in 2011 and 62 percent of estimated world inventory.
The glut emerged after prices almost doubled in 2010 and reached an all-time high of $2.197 in March 2011. Production expanded to a record 125.14 million bales the following year. Demand fell 11 percent since peaking in 2007 as the global recession curbed sales of clothing, bedding and textiles.

Hi everyone, this is my first NG submission!
I created this in 3 days for the Global Game Jam 2012, the theme was Ouroboros (a snake eating its own tail).
Everything was done by myself over the weekend, including the art+audio+code etc.
Please let me know what you think, thanks! :)
[Q] to toggle quality. [S] to toggle sound. [D] to toggle debug-mode. [F] for FPS. [Z] for zoom (debug).
Rated 5 / 5 stars January 19, 2013
This game is really amazing if you think about the fact it was made it three days.
Heck, I could barely make this in a month.
Rated 4 / 5 stars October 13, 2012
it not's that challenging but it is it a good game for only three days
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars February 9, 2012
The little red guys were kind of a pain. But I really liked the fire-spitting mid-boss. The game has a cool side-scrolling, day-shifting concept. I didn't mind the low detail graphics, but an updated version would be exciting, too.
Rated 4 / 5 stars February 9, 2012
Nothing too amazing, I like the graphic style and the fact you have to kill yourself. The red things on the floor are annoying when they move about though. Other than that, it was okay.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 9, 2012
it's a great mini game but it's too easy
your sword shouldn't be able to kill the spikes on the ground and the balls, also you can stay on starting point for a sec or 2, so you don't need to chase yourself

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A St. Paul man is accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend while she sat in the back of an SUV with their infant son.
Nineteen-year-old Timothy Hendricks is charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder.
The Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/1gHA7Lg ) reports 20-year-old Michelle Marie Ploetz of St. Paul was taken off life support at Regions Hospital and died from a gunshot wound to the head.
According to the complaint, Hendricks and Ploetz had gone to dinner with Ploetz's father Wednesday so Hendricks could see his 8-month-old son.
After dinner, Ploetz's father was driving when he heard a "pop," pulled over, heard another "pop" and tried to wrestle the gun away from Hendricks.
Hendricks told police he was hearing voices and "just snapped." A defense attorney has not been appointed yet.

Is Cuisinart the Best Food Processor?
Dethroned?! The March issue of Food & Wine magazine named the Oster 10 Cup 3200 the winner of their Food Processors Equipment Award, leaving the more popular, more expensive Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor to settle for runner-up.
We've always seen the Cuisinart food processor as the king of the kitchen. The Cuisinart machine is so popular and well-known -- the small appliance serious cooks ask for by name, but ...
Food & Wine says the Oster won because "the food bowl is the easies of those tested to remove from the base" plus it is "one of the smallest models."
12 Comments
I received a very expensive cuisinart for xmas in 2006, and last month it just stopped working.
I ended up buying a kitchenaid model from amazon.
I actually like it more than my cuisinart. It included two slicer disks (thicker and thinner slices), and a small bowl insert, which I have found to be really handy.
David, did you reach out to Cuisinart for a replacement? I'd be interested to hear what their customer service is like. I've heard Cuisinart has a generous warranty policy.
I own a 30 year old Robot Coupe. They were the company that originally made the Cuisninart. My kids are fighting over who gets it in my will!
I bought a Kenwood MultiPro just yesterday. Also chosen to take up less counter space.
I don't own a food processor myself. I do have a blender though, which is really better for smoothies etc, but I do some things in that I would use a food processor for if I had one, and it works pretty well. I also have a little Tupperware 'happy chopper', which I love cos I can chop onions quickly and without tearing up!
My mum has a Cuisinart though. IIRC, she bought it in England in the late 70's or early 80's, and brought it back to Aus when my parents moved back here. She's had to get a couple of new bowls for it - they tend to crack a bit after 10 or 15 years ;) and I'm not sure about how long the blades last. She uses it reasonably often, and it still works great.
I had a toss up between Cuisinart and KitchenAid, in the end the 12-cup wide mouth KA won because it (Choppa) was welcome company to it's "brother" (Willis) my KA Stand Mixer on the counter.
I use it about 5 times a week and love it A LOT! I adore the mini bowl as well. I'm frankly surprised an Oster would top the KA or Cuisinart, and more surprised it's only a 10-cup which I think would almost be too small to handle different doughs that can be done in an FP.
Regardless, I always thought the stand mixer was a kitchen must have, and now I think food processors should be right up there too.
I always thought that of the newer models, the KitchenAid is tops (think I've seen reviews in other magazines).
No question though, the early Cuisinarts are in a class by themselves; pitty they were 'improved' over the years...
I suppose I'm old-fashioned, but I'm loyal to the Cuisinart. I have the one with the mechanical, paddle controls, which I much prefer over the push buttons that both some of the Cuisinart's have as do the KitchenAid. Honestly, I think sometimes editors will pick an off-brand (the Oster) just to have something new to say.
But I have to say that my KitchenAid stand mixer is my VERY favorite appliance.
I have an Oster that has both a small food processor attachment and a blender attachment, and I love it. It's what my mom has always used too. I think this is mine:
I bought my first food processor this year. It is a combo blender/food processor by Oster. I really like it. I'm starting a bakery so counter space and funds are limited. But over all it is working really fine right now. The business is growiing so I know I will have to invest in bigger, better unit. Can anyone suggest a commercial, powerful and durable model? Thanks
Just received my food processor from Amazon and it's great. I want to share my Amazon promo code http://amzn.to/19bPAif - You will not be disappointed.
I bought a Cuisinart DFP-14 Custom 14-Cup Food Processor, and I find i love it.
It's so large and easy to use.
Writing reviews is a interesting thing, so I build a web site.

Just spotted: the PERFECT road trip vehicle!
Finally making some decisions!
As i "enjoy" unemployment, I am constantly looking for things to do. In my quest to occupy my endless downtime I decided to take on a set of long term goals.
101 goals in 1001 days
The list isn't finalized, but I'll share more as it comes together.
Work on your own list here.
Happy Goals!
One of several upcoming resolutions!
House is What We All Wish We Were…
(Source: fuckyeahawesomehouses)
There is A LOT of talk going on about the Food Safety Modernization Act. There are several viewpoints on this hot topic and as a conscious consumer I figured I should weigh in. I mean it is an open blogspehere.
Read up on the summary and full text of the Act and you'll see that it seems to be well intentioned. Title 1 alone calls for "Improving Capacity to Prevent Food Safety Problems", which sounds like we're already off to a good start. It also provide provisions for the monitoring of imported foods, which is equally as important as monitoring our domestic food supply, considering how much of it we import.
Opinions range on this issue, as they do on all, and some see it as having great effects while others see its limitations and are frustrated. I am of the feeling that both have important points. When it comes to industrialized food, any {and I really do mean any} additional monitoring and oversight is nothing but a good thing.
As a society we are finally waking up to the gaps in our food supply and understanding just how taken advantage of we've become. Much of those advantages are not covered in the act, like meat, which is really sad considering its the part of the industry that needs the most attention. {in my own humble opinion, of course} Baby steps. Which are not a bad thing, but they are what they are.
This whole issue though brings up what frustrates me most about the government and out society. We all are accepting of the fact that little by little things will get done, because that's how it works. WHY DO WE DO THIS? I mean really why? As Americans we are stereotyped by other countries as inpatient and rude - if we can be this way to other people, then why can't we be this way with our own government?! So much room for change, but someone's gotta smell the coffee.
I'm not looking for riots, I'm just looking for someone to say "Dear Congress, While I greatly appreciate your waking up, to the unjust food system you have forced upon this nation, I have no time to patiently sit by as you lightly debate the terms with the Food Giants who you have allowed to take over. I encourage you, as a public servant, to put your personal motivations aside and {crazy thought} consider the people." It would also be great if we could all say this.
We should also right to the FDA and find out when they plan on preventing food safety problems, versus their current set up to "react" to them. Maybe then we wouldn't be in this predicament.
Enough with the Bullshit.
Please pardon my language, but someone needs to say something and something needs to happen. Today my mac charger died, after yesterdays visit to the Apple store to get a replacement for a friend's. And on top of that I know THREE other people who have had to have theirs replaced in the last four months. The funny thing is we all went to college {and bought our new mac computers} at roughly the same time. So naturally they are all falling apart in stride as well.
My problem is not with Macs {though I'm not too happy with them right now} its with us, consumers, individuals, who have allowed this nonsense to go on for as long as it has. Planned - and Perceived- Obsolescence have been ruling our lives for the last 50 years, and we have done little in the way of stopping them. The link above, for the Story of Stuff, is not the whole picture {i highly encourage you to do your own research} but it is a snippet at what our reality has come to look like. I'm going to ask the naive question but "Why isn't creating a great, lasting, substantial product more rewarding than scamming people into repeatedly giving you their money?" And furthermore, "Why have we as consumers tolerated this new crap?" Is no one else sick of paying hundreds even thosands of dollars to replace the products that were built to break?! I'm 21 years old and I'm already over it. I also refuse to accept that this is what the rest of my life is going to look like.
E.G. getting a job, to earn $100,000/year, to be lower middle class, to pay for a bunch of "quality" products society says I "need" to buy, to pay to replace them 5 months after the warranty ends, for the rest of my life. CRAP CRAP CRAP.
Yes this may be a fictitious view of reality, and my reality, but it is, though a dramatization, the reality of our society as a whole.
This is a quote from the 20 minute video {that if you have the time, and I'm sure you can spare 20 minutes on FB, it is definitely worth watching} that upsets me most. I am not blaming the government, though there is absolutely no denying their helping hand in all this, but I am holding us the consumers responsible. Because from food to planned obsolescence we have tolerated being walked on, in fact we've encouraged it. As Americans we have willingly handed over our independence to people who don't have our best interests in mind. We are fat and lazy, rude and inconsiderate, and frankly not living up to our potential.
These are not my views in their entirety {though certainly my opinions} and i hope this makes upsets some people, enough to piss them off or to come talk to me…both options welcome!
Meatless Mondays!
Hopefully everyone has heard about the great campaign, Meatless Mondays. I myself am a vegetarian (though I in no way think this is the route everyone should be taking). I am actually pro responsible meat, and don't eat/purchase it now because it is the only way I feel, at this point in my life, that I can have any influence on the meat industry.
I also have other very "crazy" eating beliefs that I won't get into now— BUT I do believe that in changing the meat industry we also need to change our perceptions and intakes. Meatless Mondays is a great way for everyone to try a day without and *NEW RECIPES*.
My absolute favorite thing is they have a menu of meatless dishes to get you through your day. I hope more people can take the time and experiemnt- even if not on mondays- with limiting their meat intake so we can all have a healthier planet! (crazy i know)
about Meatless Mondays:
One day a week cut out meat
Check the site out here http://www.meatlessmonday.com/
Obviously we all need to consider a change in our eating habits when company's LIE to us. Ben. Jerry. We've had some great times, but I'm pissed off at your lying ways. How can we have a relationship built on lies?! We can't. Had you not lied I would have happily made an exception for your delicious and one-of-a-kind jam-packed flavors, but now I'm just annoyed. I will likely continue to buy your product, not sure I could ever say goodbye to Mr. C. Garcia, but I just want you to know how upset I am.
That is all.
no, I am not pregnant! Also my last post was about a cake I made the BF! When i upload those you'll see my work of art!!
More importantly though, I NEED one of these. Every time I go out to dinner I over eat. Sure you say the solution is to eat less, but I've tried that! Still happens. Joshua, my food baby, causes me to unbutton my pants! Many think this is awkward, but the relief it brings is well worth and strange looks. But now that I know they make this dream device, Joshua and I will eat easy now!!

What The Papers Say - 8 September
Barry, Lukaku and Unsworth and mentioned in Sunday's papers.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Sunday's newspapers continue to reflect on the business that took place during the summer transfer window.
Gareth Barry was one of three new arrivals at Goodison Park on deadline day and he has been speaking in the Daily Star Sunday about how he has not yet given up hope of an England recall.
The Blues moved late on Monday to secure the services of Romelu Lukaku on a season-long loan from Chelsea. Former Manchester United and Aston Villa boss Ron Atkinson has told the Sunday Mirror that allowing the Belgian international to spend the 2013/14 campaign at Goodison Park could seriously harm Chelsea's title challenge.
Victor Anichebe was one of two departures from Goodison late on deadline day, sealing a switch to West Bromwich Albion. Quotes from the Nigerian about his move to the Hawthorns feature in the Daily Star Sunday.
There is further analysis of Ross Barkley's debut for England on Friday evening, with Sunday Times writer Jonathan Norcroft stating that that it is 'clear the Three Lions shirt is going to fit the midfielder like a tailor-made suit'.
Elsewhere, well-respected Sunday Telegraph correspondent Henry Winter has interviewed former Everton defender David Unsworth on the strengths and flaws of English football and youth development.

This Turning Leg Caddy was absolutely a necessity for me. With it, I was able to move about the house quickly and safely when necessary and actually prepare meals and do other tasks that required standing. Just bend your knee and prop your bad leg on the scooter and stand at the counter. We attached a basket to the front and I took my meds, my TV remote and my phone and water bottle wherever I went. I would have fallen with crutches....my little scooter made my broken-ankle recovery so much easier. When my cast was off (but I was still not allowed to put weight on that leg) and I was able to return to work, I took it with me so I could move about the office without those dangerous crutches. Talk to your insurance company or Workers' Comp about providing you with this important recovery item.1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

Governor-General praises RMIT Vietnam
The Governor-General of Australia, Quentin Bryce AC, has praised RMIT International University Vietnam for creating opportunities for improved education.
The Governor-General chats with an RMIT Vietnam student.
RMIT Vietnam President, Professor Merilyn Liddell AM, shows the Governor-General a photo of the last time the two leaders had met, at a conference in Australia.

Her comments came as she visited RMIT Vietnam's Saigon South campus in Ho Chi Minh City.
Ms Bryce said that, as a woman who had grown up in an isolated rural area, she had "stood on the shoulders" of people who had worked to create new opportunities for better education and better lives for others less privileged.
She described her own education as a "gift of love" from her parents to help her achieve her dreams, engage with the world and understand her responsibilities.
Ms Bryce said RMIT Vietnam and other Australian universities were together making a "proud contribution" to helping build the skills of youth in Vietnam and support the Vietnam Government's education reform agenda.
During her visit, Ms Bryce met students in an informal Question and Answer session, in which she answered student questions on a wide range of topics - including the role of the Governor-General in the Australian political system.
The President of RMIT Vietnam, Professor Merilyn Liddell AM, told the Governor-General she was meeting some of the "future leaders of Vietnam" at RMIT.
"I hope, like you, they will become true leaders in their fields."
RMIT Vietnam has more than 6,000 students in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, with more than 2,500 graduates in its first 10 years of operation.
It provides undergraduate programs in commerce, IT, business information systems, accountancy, multimedia design, professional communication, and marketing. It also offers MBA and Master of Engineering programs.
More programs are planned, all aiming to meet important workforce development needs in Vietnam and the region.
The Vietnamese Ambassador to Australia, Hoang Vinh Thanh; Michael Bryce, the Governor-General's husband; Professor Liddell; the Governor-General; the Australian Ambassador to Vietnam, Allister Cox; the Australian Consul-General in Ho Chi Minh City, Graeme Swift; and RMIT Vietnam Executive Director, Operations and Planning, Dr Matthew Sukumaran. They are flanked by RMIT students wearing traditional "ao dai".

Stool Color Changes (cont.)
When to Seek Medical Care
Individuals should notify their physician when there is a persistent change in the color of their stool.
Persistent black, tarry stools or red, bloody stools signify intestinal bleeding and need to be evaluated by a physician promptly. Individuals should either notify their primary care doctor or visit an urgent care center or an emergency room.
Gray or clay-colored stool and yellow stool also may signify diseases of the pancreas, gallbladder, or the liver. The evaluation of these conditions may warrant careful evaluation by an internist, primary care physician, or a gastroenterologist (a physician specialized in disease of the stomach and the intestines).

customers bought with this dress
One Shoulder Stretch Satin Short Dress Style 85106 11 11
CHEAP! 5 of my 7 bridesmaids chose this dress as their bridesmaid dress. They liked it because it was cute, fit all of their bodies, and they all thought they could wear it again. 4 of the 5 bridesmaids dresses ripped throughout the day, even though none of the dresses were too small or too tight on the girls. This dress was one of the more expensive bridesmaid dresses at DB, yet they were made very cheaply and a couple of them didn't make it to the ceremony before ripping! Thank goodness one of the bridesmaids had needle and thread, because we had to sew the dresses that had ripped and were almost showing too much skin. October 17, 2013
Classy and Cute My bridesmaids wore this dress at my outdoor wedding in August. The girls ranged from a size 6 to 26 and it looked nice on all of them. The only thing that happened was the slit in the back ripped on two of the girls' dresses. Both of them have bubble butts, so if that is you, I suggest getting it tailored so you are able to move around without it ripping! It is lovely in plum! October 16, 2013
Beautiful, classy dress Bought this dress for my sorority's recruitment in "pool." Definitely more teal than the picture shows but it was perfect. So classy and fits nicely. Was a bit long but was easy to get hemmed. October 13, 2013

T-Pain - Thr33 Ringz
Production: T-Pain,
Lead Single: I Can't Believe It
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 41 total votes )
The world has never seen anything like T-Pain. Pain is currently the most prolific hit-maker alive, but on paper he should never have made it out of Tallahassee. Let's be honest: the man isn't good looking (I doubt he could bench press a waffle), wears ridiculous hats (seriously T-Pain?), and is an above average singer at best (even with the infamous auto-tune). So why is he so epically successful? Because his style's perfectly bridged the ever-shrinking gap between radio rap and R&B, he has an incredible ear for melody, and he embeds his robotic vocals …
Fans can also check out T-Pain's previous albums: T-Pain - Stoic | T-Pain - Epiphany
DJBooth Album Review
T-Pain's place outside the traditional music industry rules makes it hard to truly evaluate him. The true measure of an artist was always the album, but considering his plethora of guest features it's perfectly conceivable that Pain could break Mariah's number-one singles record without putting out another album. With that in mind, I introduce Pain's latest confusingly spelled opus, Thr33 Ringz, a collection of singles that are boringly predictable and borderline insane. What else would you expect from someone who thinks he's running a circus?
The only person who comes close to Pain's almost indescribable status in the game is Weezy, so it's fitting that T-Wayne (as they will henceforth be called) teamed up for Ringz first hit, the slowly enveloping Can't Believe It. There's nothing complicated about Believe It – the production's a knocking bass, ambient synths and not much else - but its simplicity is its genius. That and T-Wayne's ability to rhyme "mansion" and "Wisconsin." On the other end of the scale is Freeze, an up-tempo track asking the ladies to stop acting pretty and get the hell down on the dance floor. I'm secure enough in my manhood to admit I thought Kiss Kiss was a dope track, so Chris Brown's appearance on Freeze is an expected but welcome addition. The truest testament to Pain's golden touch is that everyone's asking not if Ringz will have a hit single, but how many. If Vegas were taking wagers, I'd bet the bank on at least three. Anyone got money that says otherwise?
As catchy as tracks like Freeze and Believe It are, they're really not that remarkable in comparison to Pain's previous work. If he's a different artist on Ringz than on Epiphany it's because of his R. Kelly-ization, a term I just invented to describe artists who seem to have lost the filter between their private thoughts and the songs they write. Just take Long Lap Dance, a banging five-minute slow jam whose sole existence is because "she took off her thong, then the song was over, that's so wrong. So I made a long lap dance song." Today I salute you T-Pain, a true American genius. On the same double-take spectrum is Therapy, a tightly bouncing break-up song featuring a "I don't need your sex I'll masturbate" hook and a typically dope verse from Kanye. Other critics have called him shallow, but knocking Pain for depth is like bashing birthday cake for it's lack of nutritional value – it's supposed to be delicious, not nourishing. If Ringz is any indication we're about five years away from an auto-tuned Trapped In The Closet; personally, I can't wait.
T-Pain's debut album was titled Rappa Ternt Sanga, so it shouldn't be surprising that he spends a solid portion of Ringz indulging his rapper fantasy. The album starts with a painfully bad skit (not for the first time) and then quickly transitions into outright rhymes. It's not terrible, but when your best line is "this n**gga pocket bigger than Santa Claus" you're not exactly Rakim. That's nothing compared to Karaoke, a song that's Pain's version of a street banger. Pain's right to point out that sweating his auto-tune style is an epidemic, but he's just not made to be a battle rapper. And I can't be the only one who thinks Khaled calling other people untalented is ironic. If you want to hear what true mic talent sounds like check out Luda's contribution to Chopped N' Skrewed, but after a laundry list of hits, Pain deserves to indulge.
