WATCH Jason Derulo rushed to hospital following onstage injury
Daphne Joy reveals boyfriend had 20 stitches
JASON Derulo was rushed to hospital, following an on stage accident on Saturday night.
The Get Ugly singer was forced to have 20 stitches after cutting his leg open while performing.
According to The Sun, Jason was dancing at a post-show party at Le Loft Metropolis nightclub in Paris during his Everything Is 4 tour, when he cut his leg in front of shocked fans.
Jason was filmed by his girlfriend Daphne Joy – after they recently made their relationship red-carpet official – as he was treated by a medical team.
On her Snapchat, the pop star is seen saying to camera: "Twenty stitches...what next!?"
Daphne is then heard saying: "We ended our night in the ER. We have so many people catering to my baby."
She then asks Jason how he's doing, and he sleepily replies: "I'm feeling woozy..."
However, while the singer appears to have received pain relief, he is heard groaning in pain as he's stitched up, as Daphne shouts: "Oh my god!"
Jason then asks the doctors: "Do you think I can bear it for the people? Thousands of people are waiting..."
Playing along, Daphne replies to him: "They say 'Yeah I think you can'."

Trident/Genesis are companies that seel in this space.
BUT. And this is a big but. Visually today, I think the current gen of top LCDs still do not look as good as an average plasma in a few key areas, so I will wait for the next gen to see if they improve.
I was hunting for a good LCD display from last summer to this fall before giving up. I tried tried looking at the 1920x1080P LCDs with a comparable sized plasma with only 1366x768 and was very susprised that the lower resolution plasma was able to render midrange with more detail than the higher res. This means that with HDTV from PBS/Discovery, if you have scenes with clouds and human faces, the higher res LCD actually looks less detailed than the lower res plasma. Something I did not expect to see.
This xmas, I am looking at the panasonic TH65PX600, a 1080P plasma.
Key criteria would be if it handles native 1080P@24/48 through HDMI as that is now a key feature for me.

it might sound silly but i'm in the dark.

SALEM, Ore. -- Reaction time in any sprint event is critical. In Sunday's finals of the boom run at the 2010 STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series Championship in Salem, Ore., it was a case of crazy-fast, and just a little bit TOO fast.
Click Here
Defending STS champion Alyse Schroeder rocketed off the line with a .03-second reaction time in her first heat against Katie Rick to lay down a time of 10.74, the second-fastest time all week and a benchmark that Rick would have to try to beat in the day's second heat. Rick responded by exploding off the line and blazing through the red course in an unofficial 10.68.
Unofficial because she broke the infrared sensor at the starting line and false-started, disqualifying her run and giving Schroeder her second straight STS boom-run title.
"The first run, I had a really nice start," Schroeder said. "It's five beeps, and on the sixth beep you get to go. As soon as it starts going 'sssss' on 'six' on the sixth beep, that's when you try to go. That's how everybody tries to time it, but even if you move your foot or bend your knee a little bit, you're done."
According to STS officials, that's exactly what Rick did on her false start. The Plymouth, Minn. STS veteran bent her left knee forward just a millisecond too quickly at the start, tripping the automatic timing sensor. The false start was visually confirmed by a race official.
"She ran a 10.74 in her first run, and I hadn't broken 11.5 since my first run here," Rick said. "To break 11 to get in the 10s, I was going to have to have a perfect start, a perfect run and I was going to have to push it. From what I overheard, Alyse had .03 on her reaction time on her first run, which is incredible. That's all anticipation. I knew that if I was going to have any chance at all of winning, I'd have to really push the start."
Rick lost her balance on the first log on the way back from the turnaround in the first heat, finishing over 1 ½ seconds behind Schroeder and forcing her to anticipate the sixth starter's tone on the second run. She ran a quick, clean second heat, stumbling slightly on her final stride and pitching forward across the finish line in a dead heat with Schroeder.
"Katie ran fabulous and had an amazing race," Schroeder said. "It's unfortunate that she false-started, but it's so, so hard to get that timing down. I've false-started many times, and it's the worst feeling in the world."
Schroeder's gold-medal run typified her entire week. She routinely had the fastest times of the day in both the quarterfinals and semifinals, and appeared to be the most balanced and steady on the logs through six heat runs and several practice runs.
"I felt like I ran fabulous all week," Schroeder said. "I felt like I was stronger this year than last year, so it's been a relaxed week."

And I'd like to have an URI space that isn't bound to the file system structure. A while ago were proposed a site.xml (or it was index.xml?) that would carry all the needed things for either the 'global-path' (apache > xml.apache > project) or the tabs, menus, etc - something like a topic map, but nothing yet done in that direction. Regarding the path: you can use a sitemap parameter and pass it to your stylesheet. But I think that we must find a better solution without a need to specify the context directory.

December 23, 2010
He may be best known for the incident after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in which he angrily Tweeted God after dropping five passes in the game, but Buffalo Bills receiver Steve Johnson has become one of the most productive and efficient pass-catchers in the game. We recently got to catch up with Steve, talking about everything from his (abbreviated) high school football days to how he's helping the Bills become - if not a winning team - at least a team that can bring close games and surprise wins against better squads. This is part two of two; part one can be read here.
Shutdown Corner: The five drops against Pittsburgh - what is the main reason for drops for a receiver, and how do you overcome it?
Steve Johnson: Focus. It's focus. Some guys it's just simply focus. For me, it's like looking the ball all the way in, I'm ready to make the next move. That's how I get a lot of my yards after the catch, is just not worrying about the catch, because I know I'm going to make it, then just taking off from there, you know. So it's just more focus and looking it in and then making your move instead of trying to make that next move without looking the ball all the way in. And that's pretty much what it was. I was so focused on trying to have a real big game, and instead of letting the game come to me, I was trying to take over the game. I was thinking too fast, and that's pretty much what the problem was with me.
SC: You had no high school football program until your junior year, and you went to junior college out of high school - were you heavily recruited? Why JC?
SJ: What happened was I had a science class that I had taken in high school. It was a brand-new science class, and everything was supposed to be cool and everything. I ended up passing the class, and then once it was time to go on to college, they said the class didn't meet the requirements for my science credit. I had already graduated by then. They ended up saying that I couldn't go on to college, so I had to take the junior college route. Instead of fighting it, and taking however long it would've took, I just ended up going to junior college. Sucking it up, and going from Wyoming to Kentucky.
SC: Have you talked to other guys who went to California JCs like Chad Ochocinco(notes) and Steve Smith? What was valuable about that experience?
SJ: I talk to Chad. I haven't talked to Steve Smith, yet. We don't really talk about junior college and everything, but just talking with guys that have made it--like Donald Jones(notes), he's on my team, he ended up going to junior college, also--I mean, not everybody feels this way, but it's sort of a different lifestyle, you know. You go from buying everything for yourself to a university where you get things for free, and kids who come from junior college tend to appreciate that more. Like I said, I can't speak for everybody, but I know me, I appreciated it a lot. To go from junior college to division 1, I'm(?) trying to make the most of it. Some kid goes straight from high school to college and, you know what I'm saying, they're real lax. They take things for granted. I was one of the kids that didn't, and me and Donald Jones talk about that all the time. Like angry guys who end up dropping out of college because they're not focused and are taking things for granted.
SC: What made you choose Kentucky later on?
SJ: Well, I've always watched Kentucky basketball. I was checking out Tayshaun Prince dribbling the ball up left-handed, using that tear-drop. I don't know, there's something about that blue that made me fall in love with it, watching them play. I always thought the SEC was something special. The Florida teams, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina--I thought it was something special to play out there, so I was like 'Hey, why not try an SEC team'. They ended up coming up by my junior college, and it was a wrap from there. I was already gone.
SC: You were a seventh-round draft pick - are you in the process of proving a lot of people wrong, or does that not really come up as a motivator for you?
SJ: I am what I am. They took me as a seventh-round guy. There's a lot of guys who I know that should've been drafted and wasn't drafted. So, I'm thankful for what I was drafted, you know, but at the same time I do use it as motivation. And when I go on the field, I just want to show 'Ok, this is what you guys missed on, 'This is what you guys passed on'. And also to show that there's guy out there who are seventh-round or lower and they still can ball out in the NFL, you know, so I just hold down with it.
SC: You're putting up some serious numbers - close to Bill Brooks' club record for touchdowns; on pace to have the most catches for a Bills receiver since 2006 - does the importance of this season hit you, or are you just taking it as it comes?
SJ: I'm just talking it all in stride. Nothing's really coming as a surprise to me, because I've been working hard as far as a receiver since going to the University of Kentucky, working with Keenan Burton(notes), Dicky Lyons(notes), and Jacob Tamme(notes), and Andre Woodson(notes). I've been working hard with those guys. Coming into Buffalo, I've learned from Josh Reed(notes), Lee (Evans) of course, and Roscoe Parrish(notes)--some great receivers and I just felt like the time will come. And when I get my chance--they always told me 'Hey, be ready. Because you (inaudible) have some shine in this league', so it's not really coming as a surprise. I'm just trying to get everything that's coming ahead of me.
SC: You've talked about your own scoring being far less important when your team is losing - what do you think the Bills need to do to get over the hump and into contention?
SJ: At first, we were just a group of guys with talent that was just trying to play a game. We show up on Sundays, let's show 'em what we got. That's all it was: Let's show 'em what we got. But now since we've been playing in those games with those tough, tough teams, them top teams, we're coming to three points, two points, overtime losses, and it's like 'Hell, we can play with these guys'. Let's go into these Sundays and have the attitude 'We're going to win this game' instead of just 'Let's show 'em what we got'.
Let's go in and tell them 'We're going to win this game', with that kind of confidence, and coach Gailey is really (inaudible) ..that we can play with these guys. We can with these guys. Not only can we play with these guys, we can win this game. That's the thing that we're getting out of this season. We know that we can win these games, and hopefully it just keeps rolling and we can turn it into next season to something nice.

By the tits of the Paragons, I kept saying I wasn't ready for this. But no, the almighty Coterie in their sodding wisdom decided I was and off I go to Orlais. It smells like bad cheese here, and the scratching they call music up here gives me a headache. Nevermind, you don't care.
I made it into the manor, though it was demeaning. I was decoration. Sort of. Not a lot of dwarves in Val Royeaux, and even less of them are dusters used to having no shame. The sodding noble was hosting a party for his hoity-toity friends, and thought it would be 'quaint' to have a dwarven theme. There was ale from Orzammar, roast nug, the works. And me and about five other dwarves painted up to look like gold statues, standing at entrances and exits. I guess that's the closest I'll ever get to being a Paragon.
It's sodding cold in Orlais too, almost as bad as Dog Land. Even indoors it's cold. Then again, all us dwarves were given only some flimsy loincloth to protect our delicates. The servants said it was to show off "the strength and fortitude of the Dwarves", whatever that means. All I know is I saw some humans eyeballing us, and that didn't make me feel any more comfortable or inconspicuous. At least I didn't have to strike any poses, just stand there. Otherwise I'd have said the Ancestors can take this job.
The party started around dusk and lasted the rest of the evening. I'm no spy, and it wasn't what you paid me for, but I paid attention to what was going on. I'm sending a list with this report, it'll have the various nobles that were there and what relationship they had with my target was. Most of them anyway, I couldn't exactly write anything down at the party. So what I could remember, I wrote down afterwards.
The target's family was there. Wife, younger brother, and a female cousin that came with a date. He seemed small fry, but I wrote he's on that list too. I thought about poisoning the target's food, but being mostly-naked and painted gold, it would have been hard to pull off. So there went that plan. I decided to wait it out, and try to catch him on the way to the privy, or whatever fancy name the Orlesians have for it.
Eating, drinking, dancing in their fine silks and what not. Meanwhile I'm watching and trying to be 'dwarf-like' by a door, hoping I don't catch a cold. When the party began winding down, they brought out some creamy goop to eat. Not important, but while the nobles are stuffing their faces, the target gets up and begins to leave with his cousin to escort her somewhere, or take a tour. Not sure, I'm not good with their language. Which I told you when you gave me the job.
They left through the door I was standing near, which must have been a blessing from the Ancestors. Like I said, the Orlesians are busy eating and chatting in their weird tongue, so I slip through the door to follow them. The other gold-painted dwarf standing on the opposite side of the door shot me a nasty look, but didn't do anything to stop me. Just wanted to mind his own business and get paid, I suppose.
I follow the two for a few minutes through the manor. They're taking all sorts of twists and turns, so I had to stop a few times to get my bearings. Nearly lost them too, which nearly got me in a panic. I was hoping to get the target alone. Don't want any witnesses for the work. Or was I supposed to send a message and make a show of it? You didn't specify.
Unfortunately for me, they go into a room together, so I can either wait him out, or go in and get it over with. I spend a couple of minutes searching around the area for something I could use. Another stroke of luck, the kitchens weren't far off, so I got me a decent knife. Maybe Orlesians like tough cheese, in addition to it stinking up the place.
I decide to get the job done and get out, otherwise risking someone seeing me and wondering why a golden dwarf in a loincloth is lurking around. So I open the door quiet, and sneak in. I think it was a library or something. Well I found the target. His cousin too. I won't write what they were doing, but it wasn't what I expected. You can probably figure it out. Nobles, right?
She sees me, screams, which makes him see me, he screams. They both scramble around, getting dressed. I start going for the target, and he's bawling like a babe! The cousin is about to run for help, and the target is making offers.
Maybe I thought I'd get caught by guards if I shanked him, and it'd be a pain to get out of there. So I made a deal, and it looks like the Coterie has an ally. Or informant, whantever you want really. I scared him pretty good.
And that's why he's not dead.

In September we wrote about the 'Shameless' Suit Supply campaign that we love so much. But unfortunately – or fortunately, if you will – we are not the average Dutchmen. Many people were offended by the beautiful pictures by Carli Hermès and issued a complaint at the Reclame Code Commissie (Dutch Advertising Standards Authority). The complaints judged the posters tasteless and disrespectful towards women. Earlier the photos had to be removed from Facebook because they were 'deemed offensive'. And in London's Westfield shopping centre, the print ads also raised some prude eyebrows – but the British Standards Authority couldn't do anything about it, because the ads were shown inside Suit Supply. On Monday the RCC ruled that the sexual innuendo's are not crossing any borders of good taste, decency, or morality. The RCC also couldn't see why the ads lack respect for women. How can you not agree; there's no doubt whatsoever that the lady in this picture loves to show her underwear. In fact, it even seems to make her horny! Rrrrr…. We look forward to Suit Supply's next campaign.

And I had to include this picture because it makes me laugh. Kylie's friend let her borrow these glasses and she wears them all the time as if they've been prescribed to her. The first thing she did after she got out of the bath was put the glasses on, even before her pj's and as she went to bed she gently folded them up and placed them on her night stand (just in case she needs them to see during a midnight potty run).

While I was getting ready in the morning before we headed out to the Riparian Preserve, Kylie came into the bathroom and brought me an invitation that she had made. It was for a birthday party that she was throwing for Jayden. It was so cute, she had gotten all of the old gift bags and filled them with prized posessions from her treasure drawer. She also had every one of their stuffed animals in attendance. We started out by playing different games, then we sang and had pretend cake, then Jayden loved opening all of the presents. What a sweet sister, I love their cute little friendship. They definately do have their days of constant fighting, so I savor each of these sweet little moments.
As sweet as they are at times, they both have their weaknesses that we are working on--namely lying and censoring. Lately Kylie has had the worst habit of telling little white lies. I can't tell if it's just her imagination running wild, or what, but it's to the point where I have to question everything that comes out 0f her mouth. It's not big things she lies about, it's just small insignificant stories that she comes up with (and she is a very convincing liar too). Like on the way home from church she was telling me how her and Jayden got to go up to the front at primary and help with the singing. Innocent enough, too bad it was all totally false. So I had enough and devoted our next family home evening to honesty. One of my new year's resolutions is to be better about FHE. Monday nights are crazy because Kylie has her gymnastics until 6:30 and Jason usually doesn't get home until after the kids are in bed, so we've been having FHE on Sunday nights and it has worked out really well. So we had a whole little lesson about honesty and I was just hoping some of it sunk in. That night Kylie was putting her pj's on and came out of her room just sobbing. The kind of hysterical crying where I knew something bad had happened. After I got her calmed down enough, she told me that she was crying because she felt bad because she had lied to her friend, Noelle and told her that she had a pet cat. It was such a great teaching moment and I was so glad that something in the lesson had clicked for her. Ever since then she has been working really hard to always tell the truth (or atleast say "just kidding" when the urge to elaborate to comes on) and it was a nice reminder for me of the importance of Family Home Evening.
Jayden on the other hand, is still a work in progress with his latest "weakness". That kid needs a censor button. I'm nervous to take him into public because I never know what will come out of his mouth. It started out earlier in the week when I was at my neighbor's house and he needed to use the potty. I went in to help him as my friend was right outside the door and the first thing he said, rather loudly is "ewww, it stinks in here!" Then continues to talk about how dirty the bathroom was, "It so gross in here!", "Look at all the garbage!", "There's pee-pee on the toilet!" And it went on and on, there was no stopping him. When I came out, I'm not sure who was more emberassed, me or her. Then the next day we were standing in line and Jayden points to the man right next to us and says loudly (of course--the only volume control he comes with is loud and louder), "him looks weird!" How do you recover from that? There's no denying what he was saying or who he was talking about. I thought that was bad, but don't worry, it gets worse. So a couple days later we're in the restroom at the grocery store and as I'm helping him wash his hands, another lady comes and washes her hands in the sink next to us. We are the only people in the bathroom, and the only sound is the peaceful trickle of running water--until Jayden opens his mouth and points that dreaded finger. "Mom, look! Her looks like a boy! Her has on boy shoes! Her has boy hair!" I finally started shoving the paper towel that I was using to dry his hands into his mouth in an effort to put an end to the humiliation. But the damage was already done. Shoot me now. Then yesterday we were driving in the car, so thankfully there were no extra ears around to hear--although I know he would have zero reservations about saying this in public--when he spotted a lady from India walking on the sidewalk wearing the traditional robes and scarves over her head when Jayden says, "look Mom, it's Mary!" In his defense, the scarf over her head did resemble what Kylie wore during the nativity play....I've just made a mental note to myself to avoid getting within ear shot of anyone that might peak his curiosity, because heaven knows what might come out of that boy's mouth!
One thing that he says that is cute, though, is his prayers. I always love hearing little kids pray and for some reason Jayden thinks that prayers are an opportunity to recount every event of the day. A typical prayer for Jayden is "Dear Heavenly father, bless us today we ate cereal, then I not eat my food and go time out. I go to preschool with mommy and do patterns. (then he opens his eyes and asks, "what I do next, mommy?") oh yeah, I read Duck story. ("what I do next, mommy?")...and continues until the day is complete and then ends with a triumphant, "AMEN!" It's so sweet and I'm sure it puts a little smile on Heavenly Father's face too :)
So yes, my kids aren't always angels, but I sure love those moments where they come pretty darn close!

(thanks Kathi, I stole this picture off one of your old blog posts :) My parents just called me and told me the sad news that President Hinckley had passed away this evening. It left an empty feeling in my heart, as if a member of my family had passed away. I am so grateful for a living prophet to lead and guide our church. I know that each prophet is called of God and I love and sustain each one, but President Hinckley will always have a special place in my heart. He, in a sense, is "my prophet". He was sustained when I was 15 and was the one whose talks, example and love got me through those rough teenage years. I love his smile. I love his sense of humor. I love his unconditional love for his sweet wife. I love his unconditional love for the members of the church. I love the emphasis he put on temple construction and temple work. I love his example of service. I love his energy--nothing ever slowed him down, even at 97 years old! What an amazing man. I remember when I lived in Georgia, we had the opportunity to attend a meeting and listen to President Hinckley and his sweet wife, Marjorie. The spirit was so strong the moment he walked in the room, and that in itself was such an incredible witness that this man truly was called of God. I'm also grateful that my kids were able to get to know him as a prophet before he passed away. As sad and heartbreaking as it is to see such a wonderful leader pass on, there is joy knowing that he is with his sweet wife. You could sense the deep love they had and I can just imagine how ecstatic they are to be reunited again... Thank you, we love you and will miss you!

I am lovin this beautiful January weather! We spent MLK day at the Riparian preserve where we packed a picnic, played at the park, rode our bikes on the trail and dug up dinosaur bones. It was a perfect day, except when the entire Girl Scout troop came and took over. The kids were peacefully digging up the bones with the shovels and brushes that we brought from home when their was this massive invasion of the Daisy troop. They came in and literally took all of the shovels out of my kids hands until they were left with nothing. Kylie was speechless and Jayden started crying. You would think one of the twenty moms that were there would say something, but no. The only thing the moms did was organize a "sharing train" with OUR shovels where after 5 minutes they had to pass a shovel to the girl next to them. Normally I am all about sharing the sand toys and have no problem if other kids play with them, but when they don't even ask and my kids are sitting on the sidelines crying because they took every single one of their toys, then I am a bit bugged. I couldn't exactly leave and come back after they were gone since they had all of our toys and my kids didn't want to play after they got yelled at by daisy scout #12, so we just sat and watched for a half hour. I was bugged. Sorry for that little vent session. Since when did I let plastic shovels get me all worked up? Well, besides that, it was a perfect day.

I love when I hear a certain song and it brings back a rush of memories. I can close my eyes and it feels like I'm back in that certain time period. Like when Janessa and I were listening to that Deana Carter song during Thanksgiving, I could just imagine us sitting in the bedroom that we shared in the basement. Lounging on our sweet water bed with the pink floral comforter, admiring the flourescent flowers I painted on the wall (I can't believe mom and dad let me do that!), which perfectly complimented the teal green carpet. It's amazing how a single song can trigger so many emotions, visual images, feelings, memories and even scents. Here are a few songs that will always have a special place in my heart:
Two Princes by the Spin Doctors
Two words: Georgia summer. We had just moved to Georgia from Utah and I remember spending hours sitting on the counter in the kitchen with Janessa, listening to this song over and over and over. Don't ask me why we chose that location, but many memories were made while lounging on that cream laminate counter top.
Walk on the Ocean by Toad the Wet Sprocket
It's the End of the World As We Know It by R.E.M.
New Testament Soundtrack
I Can't Stop this Feeling... (or the Hukachaka song)
What a Good Boy by B.N.L.
The Wedding Singer Soundtrack
Gettin Jiggy With It by Will Smith
Jason and I went wakeboarding together the first summer that I met him and that's when I fell for him. We were riding home in his friend's truck and this song came on and Jason was doing this little dance thing with his hands, I can't explain it but he seriously looked so cute doing it. Whenever the song comes on now I make him do that same little dance.
Mayonaise by Smashing Pumpkins
Particle Man by They Might Be Giants
Everything I Do, I Do it For You by Bryan Adams
Rainbow Cadillac by Dannity Kane and "the" Blackeyed Peas song (you know which one I'm talking about :)

As I was putting Kylie to bed last night she asked, "oh mom, did you read my black skinned man book that I made today?" It caught me off guard so she continued to explain to me all about Martin Luther King, jr. and related a kindergartener's version of the freedom movement. In her words: "Martin Luther King's birthday is on Monday, so we have to think about him because black people used to ride in the back of the bus and now they can sit wherever, isn't that cool? They couldn't go to the same school or the same restraunt because the black people didn't have enough money. They were sad because the black people and the white people were best friends and they couldn't play together anymore. Wouldn't that be sad if I had to go to a different school than Noelle because I'm Chinese? The black people wanted to kill the white people (hmm, should I be at all concerned about what they're teaching her?) so Dr. King had marches. My teacher calls him doctor, but I don't think he was a real doctor. So, they had lots and lots of marches. And because of all the marches everyone is free. So now anybody can sit where they want on the bus. And I like black people too. I play with Jariel and Gavin even though they're black (they're actually Asian and hispanic, she's just a little sheltered here in Gilbert). I even love Daddy even though he's black". There you have it. Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Oh, she also told me that three boys had to go to the principal's office today because they kept drawing hearts with her and her friend's names in them and even drew arrows in the hearts. Oh help me, it's just beginning.

Okay, so my friend Chelsea was telling me about this recipe blog that she came across called "the pioneer woman". I thought the same thing that all of you are thinking, "great, yet another recipe for funeral potatoes" But oh no, it's not what you think (she's not even Mormon). I checked it out and I was hooked. Not only is this girl an amazing chef, outstanding photographer, but she is also an unbelievable writer. There's a link on her recipe site to her personal blog and Chelsea and I have been obsessed, to say the least. She's writing about her love story with her husband "Marlboro Man" and we have both neglected our motherly duties and been up until the wee hours of the morning reading this story. It's one of the best novels I've read in a long time :). Anyways, I thought that I would pass on the site just incase any of you have nothing better to do at 1:00 am. Here's the link to the love story, but the rest of her blog is amazing too (and don't forget to check out her recipe blog, it's on my links list)

|New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez
Gov. Bill Richardson signed legislation in 2009 repealing capital punishment and replacing it with a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole
SANTA FE – In the aftermath of the recent shooting death of a Hatch police officer, Gov. Susana Martinez said Wednesday she will push during next year's 60-day legislative session to reinstate New Mexico's death penalty – at the least for child-killers and those convicted of murdering law enforcement officers.
SANTA FE – In the aftermath of the recent shooting death of a Hatch police officer, Gov. Susana Martinez said Wednesday she will push during next year's 60-day legislative session to reinstate New Mexico's death penalty – at the least for child-killers and those convicted of murdering law enforcement officers.
Martinez, a former prosecutor, backed legislation to reimpose the death penalty immediately after taking office in 2011, but the proposal stalled that year in the Democratic-controlled Legislature, and the issue has not been part of the governor's agenda in recent years.
In a statement Wednesday, the two-term Republican governor told the Journal, "A society that fails to adequately protect and defend those who protect all of us is a society that will be undone and unsafe.
"People need to ask themselves, if the man who ambushed and killed five police officers in Dallas had lived, would he deserve the ultimate penalty? How about the heartless violent criminals who killed Officer Jose Chavez in Hatch and left his children without their brave and selfless dad? Do they deserve the ultimate penalty? Absolutely."
Nationally, there's been a movement away from the death penalty in recent years. Nineteen states, including New Mexico, currently do not have death penalty laws on their books, and four states – Illinois, Connecticut, Maryland and Nebraska – have abolished capitol punishment in the past five years, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Rep. Antonio "Moe" Maestas, D-Albuquerque, called Wednesday's announcement politically driven and unwise, given a looming state budget shortfall.
"If she truly believes the death penalty is good public policy, then she should attach an appropriation to (the bill) and we can have a debate on that," Maestas said of Martinez.
The governor's announcement that she will renew her push to reinstate capital punishment comes less than a week after Hatch police officer Jose Chavez was shot and killed after making a traffic stop.
Jesse Hanes, a fugitive from Ohio, has been charged with murder in connection with Chavez's death. He also faces federal firearms charges. He was traveling with an accomplice on a cross-country trip funded by robbing banks and selling methamphetamine at the time their vehicle was pulled over, prosecutors have alleged.

Bondage Boutique Soft Ankle Cuffs
Good fun
Reviewed: March 28, 2017 by Brittany lee, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I've had these ankle cuffs for about a year now. They are good for my partner who would usually shy away from anything adventurous.
He wouldn't feel comfortable if he couldn't get out, so for him it's playful and he can remove himself if he wishes.
For me they are made of soft material and they are nice to put them on someone.
My partner once put them on my ankles grabbed the chain between them and pulled me down the bed that was a really exhilarating experience.
- Pros
- They are comfortable. No key needed.
- Cons
- Nothing I didn't like.
- Bottom line
- Good for people who don't like to be locked up but still want fun.

Great ankle cuffs - buy the matching wrist cuffs too
Reviewed: March 18, 2017 by Jauffre, a Straight Going Steady Male
I bought these ankle cuffs and the matching Bondage Boutique wrist cuffs at the same time. They turned out to be a great purchase.
The cuffs are very well made and amazingly comfortable. They attach very quickly using Velcro, and then just clip together. If you get the aforementioned wrist cuffs you can combine the two to make wrist-ankle restraints, which works brilliantly well. I believe some variation of a hogtie sort of position could be achieved by these, too. Needless to say, they're very versatile.
For the price paid I have zero complaints. An excellent product.
- Pros
- Cheap, comfortable, do the job well.
- Cons
- Bottom line
- Perfect ankle restraints at a great price.

text: Show Hide image Politics 30 April 2009 Stuff happens The NS team casts its collective eye over the latest gadgets Sign up for our weekly email * Mitsubishi i MiEV, from £20,000 My first, and until this week, last experience of driving an electric car was in the Sixties, when for my tenth birthday treat Tom the Milkman let me drive his Express Dairy milk float. As far as I can remember it had one headlight, one forward gear, one reverse gear and a bench seat. When the accelerator pedal was pressed to the metal it rattled along at about 5mph with Tom jogging along beside to ensure that nothing untoward happened to either vehicle or cargo. Even then I knew, although I did not tell Tom, that it was uncool. It was no Ford Cortina. It was an embarrassment on three wheels that I, who had sent off for and received Stirling Moss's autograph, knew was no more likely to evolve into acceptable transport for the modern charioteer than the butcher's bicycle or the baker's brown "baby" Austin A35 van. That was why I did not bother with string-back driving gloves when I arrived to test Britain's first all-electric car from a major car manufacturer, namely the Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle (i MiEV). The bright red-and-white i MiEV pod, which looked like a courtesy car for Flash Gordon, was waiting for me at the headquarters of Mitsubishi UK in the Cotswolds town of Cirencester. It was a curious urban vision in this rural protectorate of 4x4s and elderly shooting brakes. I turned the switch and there was silence. The only sign of motoring life was a lit-up big dial to show me when I was charging the battery and three small dials the size of 50 pence pieces indicating mph, mileage and how much juice there was left (it can do 80 miles on a full tank unless it's a wet December night, when windscreen wipers, heater and lights reduce the journey distance to roughly 60 miles). The automatic gearbox is virtually indistinguishable from a normal car and when I slipped it from "Park" to "Drive" it whistled forward with the speed and efficiency of a horizontal elevator. And still the only sounds were the pinging of the unbuckled seat-belt warning light and the squeak of the wipers. The i MiEV is the first proper electric car, as opposed to the G-Wiz "quadracycle" or electric hybrid, to go on sale in the UK. Two hundred of them will be available in the autumn and, at £20,000-plus each, most are expected to be bought by companies. Only the silence and the fear that, at least in the countryside, one is nowhere near a three-pin socket distinguishes the electric machine from its petrol-driven sibling. It is true that it frightens the horses because they can't hear it creep up behind them, and there are moments when it sounds like a Tube train, but otherwise its high-energy lithium battery allows it to belt along the lanes as comfortably as any CO2-pumping "dirty" car. In fact, I managed a comfortable 80mph on the motorway. All in all, it is as nimble and punchy as a bantamweight boxer. Or to put it another way, it has, as was chanted about the Seventies Arsenal footballer Charlie George, "more bottle than a milkman's float". Adam Edwards Leyio Personal Sharing Device,£159 This is a curious but fun portable 16GB hard drive to share documents, music, video, images and more. Of course, you can transfer files using a computer and a USB memory stick, but the rugged, rubberised Leyio lets you share stuff without the PC. So, provided both you and your friend have Leyios, you simply shake one and the selected files are transferred to the other. It uses a fast shortwave radio connection (no need for a wifi network) to move files at 80 megabits per second, so a batch of music tracks can be transferred from one device to another in well under a second, though there's no music playback – you need to move them to a computer or player for that. Your files are secure, thanks to a fingerprint sensor integral to the Leyio's operation. It's not that easy to use, but this may be the first of a new wave of file-sharing devices. Nikon D90 camera, £1,092.49 This is a substantial piece of equipment in every sense. Cumbersome, sporting 12.3 megapixel resolution and an equally impressive price tag, the D90 is designed for the serious photographer. The quality of the photos is outstanding and there are enough settings to keep even the most experimental hand occupied. But what makes this camera stand out against its peers? The improvements on its predecessor, the D80, may seem like fine tuning, but actually incorporate significantly new technology, such as D-lighting and 3D tracking, which keeps the subject in focus when you change a photo's composition. The big letdown is the video mode – the image quality is much poorer, and at times blurred. But it's an outstanding model, whether you are a novice or a professional. Given the number of settings, it is remarkably easy to navigate your way to taking your first picture, which is unlikely to be a bad one. Vuzix AV230 XL video eyewear, £149.99 Worn like a pair of sunglasses, the latest in "iWear" allows you to watch DVDs on your iPod through a binocular display that promises a "virtual 44-inch home theatre". So, it is disappointing to find that the uncomfortable design – too heavy, with a nose bridge that pinches – lets the Vuzix down. That said, the images are crisp and the colours vivid. Although the AV230 XL is the basic model, it is compatible with a broader range of devices than later versions. You can connect it to an iPhone or portable DVD player, as well as the iPod, with minimal fuss. Ultimately, it's the idea behind the Vuzix – private viewing in public places – that is exciting, not the technology. But when and for what would you want to use it? On the way to a Star Trek convention or to watch rude videos on the train, one is tempted to think. Toshiba NB200 netbook, from £319 Netbooks are the latest computing phenomenon: lightweight laptops with a built-in wireless internet connection, cheap and small enough for working on the move. The cost is held down by the lack of an optical drive (so no playing CDs or DVDs) and because they have small screens – usually nine or ten inches. The NB200, out this month, has a ten-inch display and the extra size makes for a better-than-average keyboard, too, though it's still no replacement for a full-sized model when it comes to extensive typing. Nonetheless, it's comfortable to use and the hard drive (160GB) is pretty capacious, unlike some earlier netbooks. Further models will be released with built-in mobile broadband, permitting internet access via the mobile-phone network. Flip Mino HD camcorder, £169.99 Rectangular, black and small enough to fit in your pocket, the Flip camcorder looks like a mobile phone. Given that most new phones have built-in video cameras anyway, you might wonder what, if anything, makes this gadget special. For one thing, the video quality is impressive for such a compact device – although the clarity of the image does deteriorate if you move around much when filming, it's no worse than some of its larger rivals. It can record up to an hour of high-definition (720p) video footage, and although the sound isn't flawless, it will meet the requirements of most users. It has simple controls and boasts a pop-up USB stick that allows you to download videos on to your computer quickly. Stephen Fry, high priest of Twitter and avid techie, has already praised the Flip range, so expect the buzz to grow. Jura Impressa Z5 – Generation II, £1,795 Rather presumptuously named ("Impressa"? We'll be the judge of that, thank you), but for those who don't have the time to boil their espresso on the hob, still less heat and froth milk for a cappuccino, this beast of a machine is a great labour-saver. Just press the appropriate button and at once the beans are a-grinding, the milk a-steaming and whatever-cino you desire from its seven settings is ready within seconds. However, the price is as hefty as the Impressa is bulky. Those who like their ristretto to be treacly enough to stand a row of spoons in might also find the results a little weak. Suitable for an office or a cafe, but a little de trop for home use. Fatman iTube ValveDock Carbon Edition 2, with Speakers, £349.99 An iPod dock-and-amp combo fitted with vacuum tubes might seem as intuitive as an energy-saving light bulb with a candle inside it. In fact, in the world of high-end audio the valve is king. And sure enough, the sound of Radiohead's "In Rainbows" was nothing short of revelatory: here was real heft, tonal fullness and a beautiful, see-through quality to the music. Whether the Fatman was fed Miles Davis, Kraftwerk or L'Arpeggiata's recent Monteverdi recordings, the sound beguiled. Solidly built, with a good remote, additional inputs and 28 watts a channel, the Fatman is a genuine bargain. And available in any colour you like, so long as it's black. Android G1 mobile phone The Android G1 from T-Mobile, Google's foray into mobile-phone technology, plucks at the coat-tails of Apple's triumph. Like the iPhone, it has downloadable applications and a touch screen, but the phone is clunky. Its virtues? You can swing out a QWERTY keyboard with individual keys, which helps the fat-fingered among us. And it has an inbuilt compass, which is pleasingly quaint. A sleeker version is due out early this month – but by then most iPhone users will have downloaded the app that makes a cup of tea for them, while the G1 will still be blithely pointing north.

Google has launched Google Video, a service that searches inside television programs.
The Google Video beta searches the subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired as well as information from program guides. The user is presented with a transcript and a still image from the show.
The service is currently in beta and only searches a few television stations. Future versions of Google Video will add a video playback feature, where the user can watch the actual video directly from Google's website.
The company hopes that making video searchable enables a market for online video watching and creates new revenue streams.
Part of those revenues could come from hosting the movies on Google's server network. Not all content owners have the ability to host their television shows for online viewing.


text: The fear, uncertainty and volatility in the stock markets has many investors sitting on the sidelines. If you're one of them, where's the best place to stash that cash? For starters, the best place isn't under your mattress. If you hang on to your money, you stand to lose purchasing power over time because your savings won't keep pace with inflation. Meanwhile, the crash in the financial sector means that even some of the "safer" options for cash -- such as money market accounts -- aren't looking so good. Locking all your cash away in a long-term, FDIC-insured certificate of deposit, or CD, isn't all that appealing either, since it means you may not have access to your money if the market starts to recover. Instead, your best bet is to mix things up. Start by putting some of your cash into a high-yield savings account, with either an online or traditional brick-and-mortar bank. (Make sure it's with an FDIC-insured institution). The national average for interest rates offered on savings accounts is only 0.42%, according to BankingMyWay.com. But banks in states such as New York and North Carolina are offering rates as high as 2.5% or 3%. Keeping about 15% to 20% of your available cash in an FDIC-insured account means that it is safe in the event of a financial meltdown. (Bear in mind that the FDIC insurance limit has been raised from $100,000 to $250,000 per account holder at different institutions as part of the federal bailout bill.)
